It gets dark early in winter, and now it's pitch black outside. The night wind also blew, making the dead branches in the courtyard outside creak, and a few cold winds came in through the cracks in the windows, blowing cold on people's bodies. Unfortunately, the table where she lives now is by the window.

Chunzhi wrapped the quilt tightly around her body, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

A dilapidated husband's family, a powerful mother-in-law, and a husband who hates herself...... And if nothing else, I was still married as Chongxi's daughter-in-law! All of this is telling her clearly that the future will not be easy!

However, since they are already married, it is useless for her to regret it. After all, my father and mother had already received the Chai family's five taels of silver as a dowry, and now the money should have been almost spent! And even if the money is not used, it is impossible for my father and mother to take me back, after all, my reputation has been ruined when I go back to my parents' house now, and I have to drag down my younger brothers and sisters at home. The family is already difficult enough, how can I make it worse for them?

So, now I can only grit my teeth and admit it!

Meow Meow Meow ......

Vaguely, there seems to be a cat barking outside?

Haruka's heart suddenly moved, and she pricked up her ears to listen, and she was sure that it was really a cat meow! Moreover, she heard it - it was her little third son!

The mood became excited, Chunzhi quietly glanced at the bed over there, and found that the little boy had fallen asleep, so she quietly got out of bed. I tiptoed open the door, and I saw a small black shadow visible under the window in front of me.

Meow meow!

Spotting her traces, the little black shadow quickly ran towards her.

Chunzhi bent down and took her into his arms, and gently rubbed its fluffy little head: "Little Sanzi, how did you find here?" ”

The little third son meowed several more times, and his little head rubbed in her arms.

Chunzhi hugged it and looked at it again and again, and was reluctant to let go of his hand.

"Since you're coming with you, will you stay here with me from now on?" She whispered to the kitten.

The kitten meowed again.

"I'll just say yes to you!" Harueda nodded happily and crept back to the house with the kitten in his arms.

Putting the kitten on the table, she lay down on it herself, and the kitten immediately crawled to her chest with its head resting on her neck. The soft fur was warm, making her heart warm.

With the cat by her side, Chunzhi suddenly felt that the wind outside seemed to be quiet.

Gently stroking the soft fur under the kitten's neck, she sighed lightly: "Now, I only hope that with these five taels of silver, Xiao Wu's illness can be cured." ”

Looking down at the kitten that had fallen asleep in his arms, Chunzhi raised the corners of his mouth again: "Little Sanzi, fortunately, you are here to accompany me." ”

The kitten rolled comfortably in her arms, purring in its mouth.

Listening to this familiar voice, Haruka also sensed a sense of sleepiness in her mind. Forget it, don't think about it! She shook her head, wrapped herself tightly around the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that there is no bed, and I am wrapped in such a shabby quilt. As the night deepened, so did the wind that seeped through the cracks in the windows. Haruzhi was still awakened by freezing several times in the middle of the night.

Finally, as soon as the sky showed a faint light, Chunzhi had already heard a squeak in the yard in a daze, and her mother-in-law Wang had already gotten up.

I only heard her footsteps coming this way, and when I arrived at the door of the new house, I didn't even knock on the door, I just pushed the door open and came in. When he saw the boy and Chunzhi sleeping on the bed and the table respectively, Wang first looked at his son with pity several times, and then walked to the edge of the table lightly, and suddenly reached out and lifted the quilt on Chunzhi's body.

The kitten in Harueda's arms immediately woke up and jumped up with a scream.

"Ahh Wang was also taken aback, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Where did this cat come from!" ”

Haruka was also awakened by this series of movements. She hurriedly jumped out of bed and took the little third son into her arms to comfort her.

As a result, before the cat could be calmed down, a hand grabbed her ear. "Where's the cat? Yes? Didn't you have it yesterday yet? Wang lowered his voice and yelled at her.

In order not to wake up his son, Wang deliberately lowered his voice a lot. However, for Chunzhi, who was close in front of her, the vicious face of the Wang family alone was enough to scare her into trembling.

"It's called Xiao Sanzi, and it came with me yesterday." She whispered.

"Throw it at me!" Wang screamed viciously.

"No way!" Chunzhi hurriedly hugged the little third son.

As soon as Wang saw it, she immediately reached out and grabbed it. The kitten was pulled in pain, and quickly broke free from Wang's hand with a scream, jumped off the ground, and escaped through the crack in the door with a puff of smoke.

"The little brute is pretty fast!" Wang scolded angrily again, "You wait for me!" When the old lady catches you that day, she will peel you and cook it for me to make soup! ”

At this time, a gloomy voice came from behind him: "Have you made enough trouble?" ”

Wang hurriedly turned around.

"Son, why are you awake? It's still early, you can sleep more! When she turned to her son, she looked like a loving mother with great concern.

"I was woken up by you." The boy said coldly.

Wang Shi hurriedly glared at Chunzhi again. "You're all wrong! Why don't you hurry up and put on my clothes and go out to work, don't you see that your man hasn't slept well? You're still arguing with him here, do you know what a woman's way is? ”

After speaking, she turned back with a smile: "Son, just now my mother was wrong, my mother was wrong!" In the future, my mother will never do this again, you will dissipate your anger and sleep again, ah? ”

Then, she glared at Haruka viciously again, and then left with a low curse.

Haruka noticed that the boy on the bed was also looking at her with unkind eyes. She quickly got up, pulled out an old dress from the baggage she had brought with her, put it on, combed her hair a few more times, braided it into two long braids, and hurried out.

Wang had been waiting for her in the courtyard for a long time. As soon as he saw her come out, Wang finally let go of his voice and scolded: "Don't you just put on clothes, what are you still rubbing around in the house?" Don't you want to be lazy? I'm telling you, no way! ”

As he spoke, he shoved two buckets into her hands. "Hurry up and carry me two buckets of water!"

Then, he pushed her out of the house.

When Haruka walked out of the yard, she looked left and right, looking at the strange villages and unfamiliar roads in front of her, and her eyes were a little black for a while. It was her first time in this place, so how did she know where to go to carry water?

Meow meow!

At this time, the sound of a cat barking was heard again. Haruka quickly twisted his neck to look around, and saw a three-flowered kitten peeking out of the haystack in front of him with a small head.

Isn't this the little third son who ran away just now? I didn't expect it to be waiting for her here before it left!

Harueda suddenly smiled on her face.

"Little Sanzi, come here!" She hurriedly stretched out her hand.

The kitten immediately took a leap and jumped on her arm from the haystack, and then climbed to her side and lay on her shoulder.

Seeing the little third son again, Chunzhi was in good spirits. happened to see someone walking past with a bucket, and she hurriedly followed: "This eldest sister, are you going to carry water?" ”

"yes!"

It was a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old. She nodded, then stared at Chunzhi again, and asked in a low voice, "You are the daughter-in-law of Aunt Ewha who married in the door yesterday, right?" ”

Pear? It should be the name of her mother-in-law, Wang!

Harueda nodded. "Yes."

"Hey, it's a pity for such a good girl!" The young woman shook her head and sighed, "You will suffer in the future!" ”

Haruka hurriedly shook her head. "It's okay, marry a chicken and marry a dog. Now that I'm married to their family, I can suffer as much as I want! ”

When the woman heard this, she sighed even louder.

"Forget it, it's your life too!" She shook her head, "You're going to carry water too?" Then let's go together, and I'll help you identify the way by the way. ”

"Okay, thank you, big sister!" Harueda hurriedly raised a smile on his face.

Sensing that she was in a good mood, the little third son also meowed over there several times.

The woman was amazed. "Is this your cat? What an obedient man! The cats I've seen before don't care about people. ”

"That's how I am, I've been close to cats since I was a child." Harae smiled shyly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard several more meows, and another tanuki cat jumped out of a nearby courtyard wall and pounced on Chunzhi.

Immediately another creak was heard, and a teenager hurried out of the house.

"Xiaohua, don't run!" He shouted, and he came to Haruka. When facing Shang Chunzhi's face, the corners of his mouth hooked, and a wicked smile appeared on his face, "You are the new daughter-in-law of the Chai family's sick seedling son who married yesterday, right?" It's a pity to be handsome, it's a pity to be with that kid. I think my little flower likes you a lot, or you can follow me! ”
