Chapter 3: Living in a Cowshed
Old Lady Cui and Zhu Chunlian turned around and left with Old Lady Qin's sedan chair.
Su Banxia asked Aunt Osmanthus for help and said: "Auntie can only ask you to help our mother and daughter now, the cowshed next to your house is empty, and I want to borrow it with my mother for a while." ”
Without Mrs. Cui and Zhu Chunlian here, the Jiang family's courage also increased: "Banxia, we really have to move out." "Since I married into the Su family, I have been living in this dilapidated house, although it will leak when it rains, and the thatch will fall down when the wind blows, but at least this is home.
Aunt Osmanthus comforted: "Don't worry, the cowshed was repaired last year, it will take more than a year for my family to raise cattle, the cowshed is very big and move everything into your family, and then build a small shed for you to cook outside the cowshed, no worse than your broken house, you see that the walls of your yard are about to collapse, and the roof is also in tatters, and it is the best choice to give the Su family, and in the future, your mother and daughter will embroider to earn some money, and then go to pick some wild vegetables, and the life can go on." ”
After persuading the Jiang family, Su Banxia began to take action, as for how Zhu Chunlian and Mrs. Cui gave Su Xiaozhu the sedan chair, she didn't care at all.
I didn't carefully observe the situation in the house before, but now when I enter the house, I only think of one word to describe it, the house is surrounded by four walls!
There is no furniture in the house, there is only a broken table and two stools in the hall, and in the inner room, except for a wooden bed, there is not even a cabinet, the clothes are placed in a basket, and there is only a pot and a few missing bowls in the stove room, and the remaining wooden barrel is leaking.
Three years ago, after the original owner's father and brother were forced to join the army by Mrs. Cui, Zhu Chunlian went to the door twice in three days to find fault, and the slightly decent things were taken away.
Aunt Osmanthus beckoned a few people to help carry things, everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Cui was a person, and she was afraid that she would come to collect the house after a while, they were all neighbors, and the Jiang family was a good person on weekdays, so everyone was happy to help.
Su Banxia carried a wooden bucket containing dishes and chopsticks to the cowshed not far away, the cowshed is made of wood beams, the walls are made of strips, the internal space is large, there is still a place to put some sundries after putting down the bed, the situation in front of her does not allow her to be picky, and she is already very content to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
The cowshed was clean, and after Aunt Osmanthus beckoned someone to move out the cow trough for feeding the cows, the house was quickly cleaned out, and the wooden bed had been unloaded piece by piece and moved into the cowshed to wait for installation, and the pot was also moved.
Soon the wooden bed was erected, and everything from the old house was moved.
The Jiang family didn't speak, silently carrying things, Su Banxia knew that the Jiang family was in a bad mood, and didn't go to persuade him.
Jiang's temper is too weak, and the original owner will not die if she is a little stronger, she doesn't blame Jiang, after all, Jiang really loves the original owner, and like all mothers in the world, all the good ones are left to the original owner.
After the things were moved, Su Banxia was very grateful and thanked everyone.
Mrs. Cui and Zhu Chunlian didn't come over, and they didn't slow down because of Su Xiaozhu's matter.
Aunt Osmanthus helped clean up and said, "Later, I'll ask Uncle Xie Hua to tie up a few straw stalls and surround this shed, so that the wind can't penetrate in." ”
Su Banxia was really grateful to Aunt Osmanthus, and hurriedly thanked her: "Auntie's kindness Banxia will never forget it in this life, and I will tie straw with Uncle Xie Hua in the afternoon." ”
Jiang sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes a little blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Aunt Osmanthus comforted the Jiang family for a while, and then came out, and Su Banxia took advantage of this time to set up a temporary stove, the pot had been placed on the stove, the well was next to it, and a bucket of water was poured into it, and the whole body had been dried, the weather in this season was easy to catch the wind cold, it was better to take a hot bath.
Aunt Osmanthus, who sent her away, entered the house, and the Jiang family was already embroidering with the embroidery, but the silent scene was a little depressing.
Moved the stool to Jiang's side and sat down, feeling the need to have a good talk: "Is my mother blaming me for moving out of the old house on my own initiative?" ”
As soon as Jiang was distracted, the needle pricked his finger, and he quickly put his finger in his mouth and sipped it.
Lost his mind and put down his embroidery work, full of guilt: "Mother doesn't blame you, I know very well that the old lady is that person, even if we don't move out, they will drive us away, I didn't cut off the relationship with our mother and daughter before, because she beat your idea, I know all this." ”
I have always felt guilty for not protecting Su Banxia, but now that I think about it, she was too stupid at the beginning, and she actually thought that Mrs. Cui would look at the face of family affection and find a better family for Su Banxia.
Su Banxia was distressed for a while, and comforted: "You were also for my good before, my father and brother are not at home, there is no backbone, just stay away from that family in the future, this family will be handed over to me in the future, to put it mildly, my mother's temper is still too weak, but all weak people in this world will be bullied, we used to be the evidence, there is no food at home, tomorrow morning we will go to the town to change some back, and take some embroidery work by the way." ”
The understanding of this world is limited to the memory of the original owner, this is Changping County, which belongs to the Tianning Kingdom, and Qingxi Village is located in the hinterland of the Qinyu Mountains, so you have to live, and the first thing is to exchange for some food and come back.
I took a hot bath in the old house, and when I came back, Jiang cooked the cereals, and the price was much cheaper than buying a single kind of grains, after all, what was mixed together was the worst leftovers, and it was still a luxury for the mother and daughter.
There are sun-dried wild vegetables boiled in the mixed grains, there are not many fresh wild vegetables in this season, and the mother and daughter are busy embroidering and making money, and they don't have time to go up the mountain.
The ground fungus was mixed with some sun-dried and chopped mother-in-law, put a little salt, and ate half a bowl of paste quickly for one person, the paste tasted very strange, and the throat was particularly uncomfortable, which made Su Banxia more sure that he wanted to make money and eat well.
Jiang went to embroider after eating, and now the mother and daughter don't even have a home to shelter from the wind and rain, and the two acres of thin land are gone, so they can only make money from embroidery in the future, but they don't dare to delay a little time.
Su Banxia was washing the dishes, and saw Mrs. Cui and Zhu Chunlian coming over from a distance.
The faces of the two of them were very bad, especially Zhu Chunlian's black face was like wiping the ashes on the bottom of the pot, the two of them must have found fault at this time, put the washed dishes in the pot, stood up and shook their hands and looked at the two quietly.
Zhu Chunlian felt a hatred in her heart! Su Xiaozhu has been sent away, there is no Ming Media to marry, just two pigs and a tael of silver were bought, and she also married Master Qin, who was about to enter the ground, and raised her daughter for sixteen years, she thought that she could marry a good family, but now how could she be willing, looking at Su Banxia's eyes became more and more vicious.
