Chapter 2 A litter of small puddings

"I used to be in a daze, I didn't know how to do a lot of things, I relied on the help of my eldest sister, and Sihua'er, who had to take care of me and my younger brother at a young age. It's okay now, I'm much more sober, and I feel that my brain has never been so easy, so, second sister, you see, I can take care of Dabao with Sihua'er. ”

Although the Wei family's parents are gone, they still have land and a house, and when the other two sisters got married, the dowry was small, but the dowry was kept at home, and the remaining three of them, as long as they didn't spend it indiscriminately, it was no problem to use Dabao when they grew up.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll see if you can get by." Erhua took a step back, what she just said was actually not particularly sure of herself. Her man will definitely not drive her younger siblings away, but what Sanhuaer said also makes sense, her mother-in-law is not a good person, she will not scold herself, it is easy to refer to Sang and scold Huai's toss of three small ones.

Da Hua'er pursed her lips: "Your eldest brother-in-law should be promoted, maybe he can get more money back, and in the future, I will find a way to send you some every month." ”

"No, big sister." Before Erhua could speak, Wei Jin shook her head and objected, "Eldest sister, you are different from the second sister, you are the eldest daughter-in-law, and you can't have private property before you split up." Even if your mother-in-law is kind and asks you to keep some money in hand, you still have a daughter to support and your own small family. ”

Wei Jin held Sihua'er's hand with his backhand: "I'm really fine, eldest sister and second sister, don't worry." This time I was a blessing in disguise, and the days to come will be better. ”

Let the two younger sisters take their younger brother and little nephew to rest in the house, and the big flower and the second flower go out to help clean up the house and prepare firewood.

"Sister, you say, Sanhua'er is really good? It won't be like before, for a while, right? ”

"It doesn't look like it." Dahua'er was washing clothes, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, "She used to be awake, but every time she woke up, she either cried or yelled, which was more frightening than a muddy appearance." But this time, I saw that she was a different person. ”

"Someone else?" Erhua smashed these words in her mouth, and her eyes were a little divergent.

"What did you say?" I didn't hear my sister's muttering clearly, and Dahua'er laboriously drew water from the well to clean it.

"It's nothing, I just thought, if Sanhua'er is really good, maybe she can be separated from Sihua'er."

Da Hua'er just wanted to say a few more words, when she heard the voice of her second brother-in-law outside the door.

"Erhua, Erhua is not there?"

Erhua wiped her hands on her apron and trotted over to open the door.

"Why are you here? What is this? ”

"I came back from the market and heard from my mother that something happened to Sanhua'er, and you took the child back to your parents' house. I'm not worried, I just went up the mountain and got a few hares today, and I brought two over, and I'll let the eldest sister bring one back later, so that the family can change their mouths. ”

Now the eldest brother of the second brother-in-law inherited his father's position and worked as an errand in the rich Li family in the town.

After the family was separated, the second sister's family came out to work alone and divided two acres of land, which was not good land, and it was a little better than poor land. But this division did not disadvantage the second sister's family, after all, the law of this dynasty is that the eldest son can inherit 70% of the family's property, and the remaining 30% will be distributed to other brothers, and girls are not eligible to inherit the family business.

The second brother-in-law has an older brother and a sister, two younger brothers and two younger sisters.

The eldest sister has already been married and married to a neighboring county, and it is rare to come back once a year. The two younger brothers don't have much ability, one follows the second brother-in-law to learn hunting, and the other has a flexible head, and was introduced by the eldest brother to the city teahouse as a running hall. The two younger sisters are young, and they help A-Niang do the work at home to take care of the family.

Entering the door, the second brother-in-law put down his burden and took a look: "Sanhua'er is okay?" Let the second sister stew rabbit for you to eat, you wait. ”

After Wei Jin obediently called out to her second brother-in-law, she continued to lay on the bed with her eyes closed and planned the next arrangements.

Not to mention that her current body is a ten-year-old girl, in other people's homes, it is also the age to plan to see each other. The law of this dynasty is a little more relaxed, if a woman does not marry after fifteen, she will be guaranteed by the official woman, and if she refuses to marry eighteen, she will have to pay a tax of ding. Most people, since their daughters are eleven or twelve years old, they can go to Wending, a process down, if it goes well, it will take two years to get married, and it will be almost fifteen years old.

Wei Jin's family has no elders, naturally no one worries about her, and it is impossible for her to accept that she will go to her mother-in-law's house at such a young age, so how to take care of both sides without causing gossip, this problem needs to be carefully planned.

Except for Dabao, everyone in the family actually understands that she is not their own blood sister, but for so many years, the Wei family has treated her as if she were their own child, and after the death of the Wei family's father, the two sisters never thought of driving her away. In this situation, she can't just take care of herself. However, how to live smoothly, at least until Dabao can support the door, she doesn't have a score in her heart.

When Wei Jin thought of this, a thought popped up in his head. If you want to avoid these troubles, there is a best way.

"Dabao, if you are asked to study, are you willing?" Wei Jin pinched his younger brother's little paws, but there was no meat.

Dabao is six years old this year, and he is actually more than four years old and less than five years old. This child's head is still easy to use, but he doesn't like to talk very much, and the family conditions are not good, and there is no way to enlighten him, but his memory is very good, and the nursery rhymes that Sihuaer went out to learn and came back, he can repeat them word for word when he listens to them once or twice.

The tax prescribed by the law is difficult for ordinary people to bear, but if there are talented people in the family, the tax is much lighter. Besides, if her brother had become a showman, her marriage would have been much better, at least not among the farmers.

It's not that Wei Jin doesn't look down on the farmer, she really can't accept two decades of life without emotion and no common language, she would rather be single. But it's a pity that the court doesn't give her a chance to be single, unless she loses her husband!

Speaking of which, maybe she can also find someone to inquire, if she is allowed to go back to her parents' house after losing her husband, it is not impossible.

"Sihua'er, hurry up and help Sanhua'er up, the second sister will give you the food on the bed, you take care of Sanhua'er."

Erhua'er took her younger brother down, and the child was handed over to her husband to hold, and they ate at the table outside. There is a small kang table on the bed in the middle room, and the three flowers and the four flowers each sit on one end, which is just right.
