"What's the solution?" Lin Cheng sighed, "People teach their daughters, we can't take care of it." ”

Aunt Chunhua said: "Yesterday, I passed by the door of Mei's house, and I saw Yindi washing clothes, and the dirty clothes were piled up...... My belly is all up...... What's the use of Mei Lao Er's just beating the child and getting angry, and she doesn't want to do anything backwards! ”

"I don't think he wants to attract this daughter." Lin Cheng said softly, "I heard someone say a few days ago that he told people that Yindi died earlier, so no one thought about this ugly thing in the Mei family earlier. ”

All the corn cobs that were broken off in Aunt Chunhua's frightened palm fell to the ground, and she hurriedly picked them up, shook her head and sighed, "Tiger poison doesn't eat seeds!" ”

Mei Yindi can't do nothing at home like before, there are still people who serve three meals a day, she is busy washing clothes every day, all the clothes of the family are washed by her, she can't go out, can't go to the river to wash, if you wash at home, you have to carry water from the well, at the end of the day, she is dizzy and dizzy, and she has to feed grass pigs and chickens, and take time to help Mao's fire and cook.

Working hard like this every day, if Mei Tang is unhappy, he will inevitably be beaten.

Mei Yindi also didn't dare to live in the west room, and consciously took the initiative to move to the east house where Sister Qiu's family lived before.

When it was just dawn that day, Mei Yindi woke up Aunt Mei's second aunt.

"Mother, it's not dawn yet, you want me to sleep again." Mei Yindi pitifully preached to Aunt Mei's second aunt, "I can't miss breakfast." ”

Second Aunt Mei sighed, brought a large bucket of water in, and handed a bowl of water from the bucket to Mei Yindi, "Eat." ”

Mei Yindi touched the bowl, shook her head and said, "This water is too cold, I can't eat it." ”

"Eat!" Second Aunt Mei had a tough attitude, "You can eat as much water as you can with this bucket of water." ”

Mei Yindi looked at Aunt Mei in disbelief and cried, "Mother, you are trying to kill me!" "The deep well water in the autumn is cold to the bone, and if she eats this bucket of water, she will lose half of her life without dying.

Aunt Mei wiped her tears and said: "Yindi, don't complain about your mother's cruelty, or hurry up and eat the water, if you eat the water, the child has not fallen, your father will put you on the car and ask you to pull the corn rod from the field!" That kind of conviction is even greater! ”

Mei Yindi heard the frightened crying, and she didn't dare to cry too highly, she was afraid that Mei Tang in the west side room listened, and cried softly: "Mother, I'm wrong, you don't want me to eat cold water, buy me a pack of medicine, I'll take the medicine in peace, mother, don't ask me to eat cold water......

Second Aunt Mei hardened her heart, "Your father doesn't give money to buy medicine, and the eight calves are not happy to spend a penny!" Yindi, it's your life to have such a father...... Who wants you not to take the medicine at that time, and now it's too late to regret it, listen to your mother's words, and hurry up to eat the cold water, otherwise you will suffer a great sin! As she spoke, Aunt Mei picked up the bowl and forcibly poured it into Mei Yindi's mouth.

Mei Yindi struggled, and the cold water was all sprinkled

When it came to the face, Bing asked her to tremble a few times, crying and begging Aunt Mei: "Mother, I'll eat by myself, I'll eat by myself!" ”

Aunt Mei couldn't bear it, so she handed the bowl to Mei Yindi, stood up and said, "Okay, you can eat by yourself, I can't get that hand to pour you!" ”

Mei Yindi took a tentative bite, her teeth were all trembling, and the cold water slipped into her stomach, like a cold snake crawling down her throat, devouring her internal organs in one bite......

"Mother, go back to the house." Mei Yindi raised her eyes and said to Aunt Mei's second aunt tremblingly, "I'll eat this water...... I'll call you after eating. ”

Second Aunt Mei saw that her daughter was pitiful like this, nodded her head and wiped her tears, and asked when she left: "This is also for your good, wait for ...... Raise for two days, your mother and relatives will tell someone who is far away, no one knows about it, you can still be a good daughter to marry! ”

"Eh, I know." Mei Yindi lowered her head and preached.

When Aunt Mei went out, in the blue and white light in the morning, everything was blurry, and the buckets and bowls resting on the side of the kang were so hideous and terrifying. Mei Yindi quietly listened to the sound outside, listened to Aunt Mei unveil the curtain of the west room, and listened to the sound of Aunt Mei taking off her shoes on the kang, she uncovered the thin quilt covered by herself, put on her clothes, and didn't even dare to wear shoes.

In the morning, Xiaohe Town was still asleep, and she couldn't even hear a dog barking, Mei Yindi was walking on the empty road, and her heart was about to explode, she didn't want to run away from home, but she also knew that the bucket of cold water alone could kill her, if the cold water was not used, she didn't know what it would be to stay with her.

When she left Xiaohe Town, she dared to put on her shoes, the village was full of stone roads, if she wore shoes to walk, the hard linen soles would make a sound.

Out of the village is a big road, the sun has not yet risen, and the surroundings are shrouded in a thin morning mist, Mei Yindi looked around blankly, immediately tightened the clothes on her body, and walked to the town, her father is that ghostly virtue, she always finds a way to live for herself.

Mei Yindi didn't walk slowly, when she arrived in the town, there was just a wisp of fishy white in the east, because it was the autumn harvest season, there were very few shops open in the town, so there were even fewer shops that opened early. Mei Yindi walked for a long time before she ran into a store that opened, and the guy was yawning and removing the door panel from the house.

"Big brother, do you know where Yan Yuanwai's house is?" Mei Yindi stepped forward and asked, "It's Yan Yuanwai who is the official!" ”

The guy looked at her suspiciously for a long time before asking, "What are you asking for?" Where are you? ”

"I'm a relative of theirs!" Mei Yindi said, "There is an urgent matter at home to find them...... It's been a long time since I've been here...... Got lost ....... I can't remember where their home is! ”

The guy still didn't believe it, but he instinctively lured Mei

As a relative of Yan Yuanwai, Di Dang said to her: "I'll show you how to go to the township, you go straight to the township to find Yan Yuanwai!" ”

Mei Yindi cried anxiously, the longer it dragged on, the more likely the Mei family could catch her back, "Big brother, I really have something urgent to find them!" Please show me the way! ”

The guy saw Mei Yindi crying with a handful of snorts and tears, which was really pitiful, so he pointed out the way to Mei Yindi and said: "I only know that Yan Yuanwai lives in that alley, I don't know where it is, you go and inquire again." ”

Mei Yindi was so happy that she even forgot to thank her, and hurriedly ran to the alley pointed out by the guy, but there were several families in the alley, and all of them were from the high-gate courtyard.

It took a long time before an elderly grandmother came to open the door, looked at Mei Yindi several times, and asked, "Where are you?" ”

Mei Yindi smiled and asked, "Auntie, is this Yan Yuanwai's house?" ”

"It's not!" Mama shook her head, pointed to the one in the alley, and said, "That family is Yan Yuanwai's house!" ”

Hearing this, Mei Yindi felt alive again, and hurriedly ran to the end of the alley, slamming the door desperately.

"Where's this?" Mama frowned and looked at Mei Yindi, "Where is there such a knock on the door, like an enemy who collects debts!" ”

Yan Yuanwai had already gone to the township at this time, and it was Mother He who answered the door at home, and after opening the door, she saw that she was a cropper lady who was not dressed well, and she didn't know her, so she asked: "Lady, did you go to the wrong door?" ”

"Is this Yan Yuanwai's house? Does Mei Qiushuang live here? Mei Yindi asked anxiously, and turned her face back to take a look, afraid that Mei Tang had already chased after her.

Mother He nodded and said, "Where are you?" Looking for my wife? ”

Mei Yindi's heart swelled with a wisp of saltiness, she was born in Xiaohe Town, she was born in Xiaohe Town, she was a big contributor to the Mei family, Sister Qiu is a hard-lived mother, how did it end up, Sister Qiu became a "young lady" with servants to serve, and she became a lost dog who ran away in panic?

"My surname is Mei, and I am Sister Qiu's cousin." Mei Yindi said, "I ...... I've got something to look for my aunt. ”

Mother He understood that Mei Yindi was the daughter of the Mei family in Xiaohe Town, how could Mother He not know how the Mei family behaved, and at this moment, Mei Yindi's eyes were not as polite as Fang Cai, so she only said: "Then you wait by the door first." ”

At this moment, the sky is just dawn, Jia has not gotten up yet, Sister Qiu is just freshening up in the backyard, Mother He went straight to the backyard to find Sister Qiu, saying that there is a lady who claims to be Sister Qiu's cousin in front of her.

Sister Qiu was surprised that all the combs in her palm fell to the ground, "What is she doing here?" ”

Regardless of whether this child is left behind or not, with Mei Yindi's physical condition, if there is something in the Mei family, it is unlikely that she will be asked to come over so early, and it seems that it is something else.

Mei Yindi ran out of her house in the morning, and she hasn't taken a breath since she came out today, she can't be tired early, when Sister Qiu came over, she was sitting at the gate

On the steps, leaning against the stone lion by the gate of the Yan family, he heard the door open behind him, and immediately stood up, looking at Sister Qiu in embarrassment.

At this time, it was early autumn, the weather was still very hot, Sister Qiu was wearing a blue and white shirt with a white background, a blue high-waisted skirt, and a golden hairpin in the shape of a moth on her jet-black hair, standing by the gate, the golden sunlight sprinkled on her body, a clean and white face, black eyebrows, and the whole person couldn't say how good-looking. Mei Yindi glanced at herself, the rough black peeled palms, the patched coat and pants were worn by Mei Tang, and the hair was not combed, and she could feel a lot of grass clippings sticking to her head when she stretched out her palm.
