Yu Jiao smiled and didn't make a sound.

When several people came to the field, Song saw that Yu Licorice and his wife came to help, and said hello with a smile.

Although Li Hanqiu is a little fat, both of them are good at farm work, and with the help of Yu Licorice and his wife, the work in the field is much faster.

In the evening, Song went to the neighbor Wang's house to borrow an ox cart, bundled the wheat that had been cut during the day, and used the ox cart to pull it back and forth more than a dozen times before the wheat that had been cut in the field was finished.

At dinner, Zhao couldn't help but squeeze the big room and said, "Sister-in-law, you and the boss will be lazy, and you will leave us with so much work in the field?" said that he was sick, our father was Langzhong, and asked our father to prescribe a prescription for you, and hurry up to work in the field! ”

Zhang didn't make a sound, only lowered his head to eat, Yu Qiaoshan sighed, he wanted to work in the field, but Zhang didn't let him.

Yu Ruhai frowned and glanced at Yu Qiaoshan and his wife, and he was also dissatisfied, just because he went to a county school, and now that he, the head of the family, is not good, he dares to come against the grain.

"Boss, you all go down to the field to cut wheat." Yu Ruhai spoke.

Zhang smiled coldly in his heart, no good thing could be in their big house, and as soon as he got to work, he thought of their big house.

"My heart hurts, my boss has a headache, and I can't get off the ground." Zhang glanced at Yu Hanshan and his wife, "The third and the second are so capable, how can we use our big house to go to the ground!" ”

After speaking, he put down his rice bowl and dragged Yu Qiaoshan back to the east house.

Yu Ruhai angrily slammed the chopsticks on the table and didn't say anything for a long time.

Yu Zhou was busy whispering and reassuring gently.

Yu Licorice and his wife stayed at the dinner table like pins and needles, and did not dare to continue eating, quietly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went back to the house to persuade Zhang.

After Yu Jiao ate, she walked in the small courtyard as usual to eat, and after Song washed the pots and bowls in the stove room, she took out a piece of burlap sheets made of rags, and with the help of Yu Mengshan, spread it in the yard, and hugged the ears of wheat cut back on the sackcloth sheets.

Yu Jiao looked very novel, and also helped to hold a lot of wheat ears, and when the entire linen sheet was covered with a thick layer of wheat ears, Song pulled the round stone mill in the corner of the wall to the sheet, and rolled back and forth on the wheat ear.

"Is this hulling wheat?" Yu Jiao asked curiously.

Song nodded, wiped the beads of sweat on his face with the sweat towel around his neck, and continued to run with difficulty pulling the stone mill.

In the past, these heavy jobs were done by the men of the Yu family, but now Yu Mengshan's leg is broken, the eldest couple is angry with the old man, and Yu Hanshan in the third room is lazy, the Song family can only come by himself, and the wheat is taken back, and it can't be left alone.

Xiwu Yuqiao Mountain heard the movement in the yard and said in a muffled voice, "I'll go grind wheat." ”

Zhang glared at him, and Yu Licorice hurriedly smiled and pushed Yu Qiaoshan, "Dad, go quickly, the second aunt is tired enough to choke alone, I will persuade my mother again." ”

Zhang snorted, "You persuade me, your grandfather and your grandmother's heart is boundless, as long as they don't let go and send Zhizhou to the county school, I don't want to do the work in the field!" ”

Yu Licorice has been persuaded for a while, and when she saw that her mother's oil and salt did not enter, she had to say, "The third uncle and third aunt are not down-to-earth people at all, and they cut a bunch of wheat in the field, so they went to rest on the ridge, you don't go to the field with your father, and the second aunt is tired." ”

Zhang's still didn't let go, Yu Licorice sighed, "Mother, Han Qiuming and I have to go home, and I can't help the second aunt with much work, the second uncle's leg looks like that, what if the second aunt is tired and sick?" ”

"You and Han Qiu will leave tomorrow?" Zhang got up hurriedly, took out a basket of duck eggs from the bottom of the cabinet in the house, counted more than 20 and put them in a cloth pocket, "This is given by your sister-in-law's mother's family, and my mother has been hiding them, you can take these home." ”

Yu Licorice looked at a bag of duck eggs, and was happy, if she brought it home, her mother-in-law's face might look better, but she still refused, "No, this is brought by my sister-in-law from my mother's house, how can I take it." ”

"Take it back and give it to the little girl to eat, your mother-in-law has always been tricky, and now she is busy with farming, you brought Han Qiu to work, what did she say?" Zhang's Road.

Yu Licorice smiled bitterly, and didn't want to say more to make Zhang worried, so he only shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say anything." ”

Zhang put his mind at ease, "It's good that you didn't say anything, your mother-in-law has a lot of things, you and Han Qiu gave birth to a little girl, and you should make every effort to have another one, it's best to give birth to a boy as soon as possible." ”

Yu Licorice showed a trace of sadness after hearing this, since she slipped three years ago, she has never been pregnant, and her mother-in-law, who is not easy to get along with, is now even more difficult.

Seeing the look on Yu Licorice's face, Zhang's heart sank, and he asked, "Licorice, you haven't believed in it for the past three years, could it be that something is wrong with your body?" ”

She tugged at the corners of her lips, pretending to be fine, and shook her head with a smile, "Mother, don't think about it, I'm in good health, what's wrong with me." ”

Zhang didn't see her abnormality, and still doubted, "Is there really anything wrong?" Could it be a son-in-law......"

Yu Licorice hurriedly interrupted, "Mother, don't talk nonsense, Han Qiu's body is fine!" ”

"You're in good health, so hurry up and ask for another one, licorice, you have to take this matter to heart." Zhang stretched out his hand to pull the licorice, wanting her to sit on the edge of the bed, and the mother and daughter had a good talk.

Who knew that as soon as she touched the arm of the emblica emblica, her face turned pale and she avoided in a panic.

This sudden and abnormal movement made Zhang's face change, and she dragged the arm hidden behind her back by Yu Licorice, rolled up her sleeves, and her eyes were full of bruises and pinchmarks.

Zhang Shi was immediately furious, and said hatefully, "How did you get this?" Li Hanqiu, he beat you? ”

As he spoke, he was going to find Li Hanqiu, who was talking to Old Man Yu in the hall.

Yu Licorice hurriedly stopped, lowered her voice and explained in a panic, "Mother, it's not about Han Qiu, I accidentally touched it myself." ”

Zhang was distressed and angry, gritted his teeth with red eyes, and said, "Are you a fool to be a mother?" This is clearly pinched out, such a means of damage, isn't it your mother-in-law? ”

Yu Licorice wanted to say no, but before she opened her mouth, tears fell, she hurriedly wiped it, she didn't want to shed tears, and when her mother asked her like this, her stomach was full of grievances.

"The thief old woman of the Li family dares to torture you like this, so that he is Li Hanqiu!" If there was a fire burning in Zhang's heart, he turned around and rushed out of the door to find Li Hanqiu to settle accounts.

Yu Licorice hurriedly grabbed Zhang's family and defended his father-in-law, "Mother, it has nothing to do with Han Qiu, he has always protected me and Sister Yu in front of his mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law did it to me when Han Qiu was away." ”

Zhang grabbed the other arm of Yu Licorice, lifted his sleeve and took a look, sure enough, there were bruises and pinch marks all over the place, Zhang gritted his teeth with hatred, "You look like this, Li Hanqiu can't see it?" ”
