Chapter 7: Resignation
Yu Qiyu restrained the mixed emotions in his heart, and saw that the wound on the top of Yu Jiao's leg that had just torn off the cloth was bleeding, so he hurriedly picked up the medicinal wine and drank it, but because he was too flustered, he accidentally swallowed it into his throat.
Yu Jiao saw it, smiled and was happy, her apricot eyes were crooked, and her pupils were flashing brightly.
Yu Qiyu's rare gaffe, the sickly fair Qingjun face was slowly scarlet, and the water-colored thin lips were also dyed with color, he avoided Yu Jiao's clear sight, lowered his head and took another sip of medicinal wine, this time carefully in his mouth, sprayed on the wounds on Yu Jiao's legs.
The hot pain struck again, Yu Jiao didn't have the heart to joke, her hands clenched into fists, biting her lip and enduring it.
Yu Qizhen glanced at her with his afterglow, taking in Yu Jiao's forbearance in his eyes, and when he sprinkled the medicinal powder, he suddenly blamed himself for why he hadn't ground these medicinal materials more finely before.
Carefully covering all the scars, Yu Qizhen wrapped the remaining powder in paper and asked out loud, "Is this ...... Does the medicine really not affect the efficacy of the drug? ”
Yu Jiao was so painful that she almost lost her strength, leaning lazily against the wall, hearing Yu Qizhen's question, she looked at the medicine bag in his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't affect you." ”
Although Yu Qiyu's expression was still cold and his voice was cold, Yu Jiao could hear his hidden concern.
Seeing her bright and clean smile, Yu Qiyu's heart moved slightly, and then quickly cooled down, put the medicine bag in Yu Jiao's hand, picked up the basin of water that had been contaminated red with blood, and walked out.
Yu Jiao already understood his indifference and retimidity, and said to his back, "Yu Qiyu, thank you." ”
Yu Qiyu didn't respond, and continued to walk outside with the wooden basin, not forgetting to bring the wooden door of the hut.
The injury on her leg was treated, Yu Jiao felt a lot more comfortable, closed her eyelids, and fell asleep again not long after.
When she woke up and opened her eyes, it was pitch black all around, she subconsciously touched the switch of the bedside lamp, only touched a handful of straw, and suddenly remembered that she was in the situation she was in now, and couldn't help laughing at herself.
It's time to think about how to live as Meng Yujiao in the future.
In Meng Yujiao's memory, her relationship with her mother-in-law Liu Sanniang was very cold, but her father Meng Qingyun favored her very much and spoiled her more than her youngest son, but it was a pity that Meng Qingyun passed away a year ago.
Liu Sanniang's dislike for Meng Yujiao became more and more obvious after Meng Qingyun's death, and sometimes she looked at Meng Yujiao like an enemy, not like a daughter who crawled out of her belly at all, otherwise Uncle Meng Yujiao would not have been in charge of selling her to the Yu family.
Now Meng Yujiao's body deed is in the Yu family, the Meng family can't go back, even if she goes back, if she wants to live with Liu Sanniang, it shouldn't be happy.
On this day, Yu Jiao was woken up by a loud noise, her legs can now walk, and the wounds are all scabbed, probably because of her youth, the body's self-healing ability is still quite strong, but the ribs in the front chest have not yet grown.
She moved to the window of the hut and peeked out.
There were a lot of people standing outside the fence in the courtyard of the Yu family, which was very lively, but the faces of the Yu family were very unsightly, and they were facing the other family with a red face and a thick neck.
The shrewd-looking woman in a maroon slash robe spoke, "The dowry has been returned to you, what else is there in your Yu family that you are not happy about?" At the beginning, your Yu family hired five taels of silver, and our Liu family didn't have a penny! It's your family's Yu Jinshu who has no ability, and he can't even get a show of talent and fame in the next three years, and the daughter of our Liu family has learned poetry and etiquette since she was a child, but she doesn't want to marry a poor and remote villager! Don't entangle your Yu family and let the villagers see jokes! ”
Three years ago, the Yu family set a good family affair for the eldest son of the third room, Yu Jinshu, who was a girl from the Liu Ju family in a nearby village, and the Yu family attached great importance to this family affair.
The Yu family is naturally unwilling, you must know that these ten miles and eight villages are just a master who can be counted, the girl of the Liu family said that it is better, it is a scholarly family, and it is difficult to find it after such relatives retreat.
The faces of the two people in the three rooms were pale, and when the Zhao family saw that there were more and more people in the village outside the courtyard gate, they felt more and more that they couldn't hold their face, and they were angry, "Your Liu family is still shameless?" If you say that you will regret it, you will regret it! Don't think that if you cover it tightly, no one will know that you Liu family is a daughter and two families! This kind of ugly thing can be done, even if your girl wants to enter our door, our rest of the family is not uncommon! ”
It was Liu Zhang, the mother of the girl of the Liu family, who came to retreat, and after listening to Zhao's words, she responded unhurriedly, "Don't pour dirty water on my girl, our Liu family has never done the ugly thing of a daughter and two families!" It's your Yu family who is not angry, to tell you the truth, back then, my father-in-law was able to take a fancy to your Yu family, it was because your family had a small three-yuan Yu Wulang, and now your family Wulang is sick and can no longer go to the scientific examination, and the Yu family has no outstanding sons, the water flows to the low place, and the people go to the high place, our Liu family sincerely came to retreat, and your Yu family should not be too aggressive. ”
Yu Qiyu won the little three yuan in the child test at a young age, and it can be said that he is in the limelight in the whole Qingshui Town, who knows that the future of the young man of the Yu family is limitless, and the people who want to marry the Yu family actually take a fancy to the Yu family Golang, but the Yu family Golang was still young back then, and he could only marry other children of the Yu family of the appropriate age.
"Whew!" Zhao crossed his hands on his hips, as if he had been lit a cannon battle, and said angrily, "Your Liu family's words are very good, since you look down on our family's letter like this, why did you let the matchmaker come to the door three times and twice?" Delayed my son for three years, and now he wants to kick my son away when he sees another showman, don't dare to admit this kind of ugly thing! If you Liu family girls are fragrant, you will quit if you quit your family, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to find your mother-in-law! ”
After Zhao finished speaking, he said to Yu Hanshan on the side, "What are you doing in a daze?" Go to the house and bring the Liu girl's Geng post! ”
Yu Hanshan hasn't moved yet, Mrs. Yu has already walked out of the hall, the Liu family came to withdraw from the family, it was Liu Zhang's family, it is considered a junior, the old man Yu and the old lady want to save face, and they don't want to come forward to argue with the juniors in person, so they let the Zhao family and Yu Hanshan deal with it.
Seeing that Liu Zhang's words were so straightforward and did not save face for the Yu family at all, Mrs. Yu really couldn't sit down in the hall, so she took the Liu family's girl's Geng post and came out.
"Liu's family, this is your girl's Geng post, take it." Mrs. Yu handed the Geng post to Liu Zhang's, and when Liu Zhang's saw the old lady come forward in person, she politely took the Geng post and said with a smile, "I'm bothered." ”
