Chapter 36: Doing as the Locals Lead
Jiang Cheng'er stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, holding her cheeks with both hands, staring at the big fish with her eyes, like a cat waiting for her owner to feed her.
Han Baichuan raised his eyes and looked over, the black hair on the woman's forehead hung down smoothly and softly, a pair of watery star eyes jumped with flickering sparks, and her small mouth pouted slightly, as well-behaved as a cat.
At this moment, she is not so annoying.
Sensing his gaze at her, Jiang Cheng'er tilted her head and smiled coquettishly, her lips red and her teeth white.
Han Baichuan looked away, at first she was cute and nondescript, but now she looks much more comfortable, and I don't know if it's pleasing to the eye, or if his aesthetics are biased by her.
The big fish was cooked, the fragrance was fragrant, and Jiang Cheng'er seemed to have a hook in his eyes, and slowly took the big fish hook away from Han Baichuan's hand.
One of the two eats fish and the other drinks, and the division of labor is clear.
After Jiang Cheng'er's fish was eaten, Han Baichuan's wine went down to half a jar.
"You drink less, drink more sorrows, if you have anything on your mind, I will help you relieve it." Jiang Cheng'er could see that he had troubles.
Her eyes were as bright as pearls, and he didn't like to be seen through.
Han Baichuan was excited, put down the wine jar, got up and walked towards the bamboo house.
Jiang Cheng'er shrugged, this guy said he would leave. She also got up to say goodbye, and shouted at his back.
"Worry is not overnight, forgetfulness is happiness. Tomorrow the sun comes out and it's a new day, good night. ”
Han Baichuan's footsteps did not stop, but her words were heard in her ears, and she kept lingering in her mind, accompanying him to sleep.
When Jiang Cheng'er returned home, Liu was looking forward to it at the gate, if it weren't for Jiang Cheng'er going out in the evening, telling her to go home late, she would have carried the lantern to look outside.
Jiang Cheng'er smiled embarrassedly, blaming herself for being greedy, delaying the time to go home, and worrying about her mother.
Liu's instructed a lot of people, telling her daughter to come back early in the evening, girls are not safe outside, Jiang Cheng'er listened obediently.
There is no nightlife in the countryside, in fact, it is only the beginning of the day, and people are out at the night market. Well, do as the locals do.
After Liu finished instructing his daughter, he lowered his voice and said, "Manman ran away, your uncle, third uncle and cousins have gone to look for her, and I don't know if I have found it at this time." ”
Jiang Cheng'er was surprised, Jiang Manman is going to get married tomorrow, and she ran away tonight, it seems that she really doesn't want to get married, did she run to find Lu Cheng?
Jiang Cheng'er remembered that when she was talking to the little male god Chu Yunfan by the river, she heard a chaotic footstep, and it was probably Jiang Manman's father who ran out to chase her.
In the second half of the night, Jiang Manman was arrested, and her desperate and sad cry woke up Jiang Cheng'er.
Jiang Lao was in a hurry, and he was afraid that Jiang Manman would marry tomorrow and leave no scars, so he wrapped her in the quilt and beat her with a jujube wooden cane.
After the fight, Jiang Lao was still angry, and scolded her fiercely.
Jiang Cheng'er connected the matter from his scolding. After Jiang Manman ran out, she really went to Lu Cheng's house, and Yang Lu Cheng took her to elope, and she resolutely refused to marry anyone else.
From Jiang Manman's crying, Lu Cheng understood her love for him, how could she fall into the flowers and be ruthless. What's more, she will become a bride tomorrow, how can Lu Cheng take her away and ruin her marriage.
Lu Cheng persuaded her to go back, but Jiang Manman didn't listen, and at this moment, Boss Jiang chased after Lu Cheng's house.
Jiang Manman hugged Lu Cheng and didn't let go, scratched the sleeves of his clothes, and was finally torn open by Boss Jiang and forcibly taken home.
Jiang Cheng'er didn't know how deep Jiang Manman's feelings for Lu Cheng were, and she couldn't imagine how hurt she was at this time.
Jiang Manman has repeatedly treated Jiang Cheng'er badly, Jiang Cheng'er doesn't sympathize with her, but she feels sad for the unfree marriage of ancient women.
The next day, before dawn, there was a commotion in the courtyard of the Jiang family.
Faintly coming from the crack in the door of the east room, Jiang Manman's low and desperate whimper, sounding like he was gagged.
Liu got up early, didn't care about grooming, gathered his hair, and was about to run to his sister-in-law. Her face was full of excitement, as if her son was going to get married.
Before going out, she pulled Tao'er and Ping'er one in one hand, and asked her two daughters to help her brother with his work, and she was happy.
The marriage scene is quite lively, but Tao'er and Ping'er have seen a lot in the village, so they are not interested. The children are greedy for joy, and the stingy aunt is reluctant to give them a little, and only the greedy share is left at home.
Therefore, Peach and Ping'er prefer to go to the market with their eldest sister and see more of the town.
Liu considered that there were a lot of things that Orange needed to buy this time, and he couldn't take them alone, so he agreed to let his three daughters go with him.
Jiang Cheng'er pointed to the back room and told her mother that no matter what happened, she couldn't loosen or feed Jiang drunkard, just tie him up and starve him. If a relative asks, they say that he is not feeling well and is recuperating.
Liu agreed without looking back, and couldn't wait to trot out.
Jiang Cheng'er was not at ease, so she simply locked the door of the inner room and put the key in her pocket.
The three sisters washed up quickly, changed into clothes without patches that they were usually reluctant to wear, and cleaned their heads and faces.
After a hot breakfast, they quickly packed up their things and prepared to go.
Jiang Cheng'er carried two heavy wooden barrels with a flat shoulder, one of which contained 60 pieces of soap, hoping to sell it smoothly at the big market today.
In the other bucket was a pile of copper coins, which had been counted long ago last night and strung with rope.
These days, Jiang Cheng'er has saved all the money she earned from selling soap, except for the 150 wen that her mother took away from Hexi, there is still 550 wen left, and Jiang Cheng'er left a fraction and took all the 500 wen with her.
Today, I not only want to buy rice, flour, oil and salt for the sake of the buyer, but also buy gifts for the teacher. This can't be saved, and it must be purchased thicker, so that Mr. Teaching can make an exception to accept Ping'er.
For the sake of safety, Jiang Cheng'er put her wallet in an inconspicuous broken bag, with a layer of green vegetables pressed on it, pretending to be selling vegetables.
Jiang Cheng'er walked to the courtyard with a wooden barrel, and when she saw Mrs. Jiang holding a red wedding dress, she ran to the east house in a hurry. She married a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law today, and she was very busy.
Mrs. Jiang complained in her heart that the three Dani sisters didn't help with the work, but she didn't care about saying anything sarcastic, she just blackened her face and glanced at Jiang Cheng'er and them fiercely.
Jiang Sanniang opened the door of the south house and slowly came out to pour washing water.
Her smug gaze fell on Jiang Cheng'er's wooden barrel, and it seemed that through the green vegetables on it, she had glimpsed a pile of copper coins hidden inside.
"Yo! Dani, Erni, Sanni, you are dressed so beautifully today, your mother is so blessed to give birth to three golden flowers. On the day of our family's big day, you don't eat good things at home, what do you run outside? It seems that I went to the market to buy better things, and sure enough, it was different when I was rich. Jiang Sanniang smiled, but her tone could not hide her sarcasm.
Jiang Cheng'er replied sarcastically: "My aunt is a rich person who is deeply hidden, and the congratulatory money for my aunt is a hundred wen." I remember that a few days ago, my aunt's maiden nephew got married, and my aunt was still crying poor, and she only took five yuan. In the blink of an eye, I saved so much money, but there was a cornucopia hidden in my aunt's house. ”
Jiang Sanniang didn't expect this stubble at all, and she was shocked.
Jiang Cheng'er smiled, and then said, "I'm very worried about my aunt now, the deviation between Wuwen and Baiwen is too big, if your sister-in-law and nephew know about this, I can't quarrel with you and tear your face, and you will want to enter your mother's door in the future." ”
Jiang Sanniang secretly said that it was bad, her sister-in-law was not a good stubble, she offended her, and she wanted to have a good life in the future. If you can't get into your mother's house, won't you make people laugh, and if you don't have the support of your mother's family, you will be bullied in your in-law's house, and you won't have anyone to support you.
Jiang Cheng'er made up for it in time, "You have a lot of nephews, you opened the head of Hexi Qian 100 Wen, and you will wait for a lot of money to go out in the future." Not to mention anything else, just the mouth of your fourth sister-in-law and my sister-in-law can grind you to death. ”
Jiang Sanniang's face turned pale, she didn't expect that the deception would bring serious consequences, and the matter involving money was inexplicable, so how could it be good.
"Jiang Dani, you bully my mother with sharp teeth! You don't have to worry about our family. ”
Jiang Jinhua was lying on the kang and heard the conversation outside, rushed out with a cloak, and questioned Jiang Cheng'er angrily.
"I'm still in a hurry to catch the market, it was your mother who pulled me to speak, and I just kindly reminded her that there is a price to pay for deceiving people." Jiang Cheng'er replied coldly, raising her feet and wanting to leave.
"Stop! Who do you say liar? Jiang Dani, you can make soap, you have choked enough these days, and today you are bullying my mother! ”
Jiang Jinhua has long been psychologically unbalanced, in the past, Dani was called by herself and Sister Man all day long, but now she suddenly became arrogant and beautiful, which made her very unhappy.
Jiang Jinhua grabbed the wooden bucket violently, grabbed a handful of green vegetables randomly, threw them on the ground, and reached out to pull them in.
"Sister Jinhua, what are you doing! Stop! Jiang Tao'er hurriedly stopped Jiang Jinhua.
Jiang Jinhua was ruthless, and habitually grabbed her backhand, and Jiang Tao'er suddenly had a few bright red scratches on the back of her hand.
Jiang Cheng'er was very distressed when she saw it, her two younger sisters were the people she was protecting, how could she allow others to hurt her.
Jiang Cheng'er's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she put down her flat shoulder and stepped forward to grab Jiang Jinhua's hair. "Snort" twice, and scratched five scratches on Jiang Jinhua's left and right faces, which made Jiang Jinhua's face bloom.
"My face! Ah......h
Jiang Cheng'er shouted coldly: "Jiang Jinhua, this is what I gave back to you!" With interest. ”
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Cheng'er suffered deeply, Jiang Manman was very good at mouth, but Jiang Jinhua was a dog that bit people silently, and when she didn't agree with her, she stretched out her sharp paws to scratch people, leaving a lot of scratches on the face of Jiang Cheng'er, the target of bullying.
Jiang Cheng'er has a scar on her forehead, which was left by Jiang Jinhua, which has faded over time, but you can still see it if you look closely.
