Originally, Mrs. Zhang was still a child, taking care of Zhang Xiahe, as long as she didn't have a bit, or when Zhang Xiahe cried, she didn't ask about 3721, Zhang Dabao and his wife would beat Mrs. Zhang, blaming her for not taking good care of her younger brother.

Especially after Zhang Xiahe was older, he was even more indulged by Zhang Dabao and his wife as a small ancestor of the Zhang family, and everything depended on him.

Zhang Dabao and his wife still have to work in the field, and the work at home and Zhang Xiahe are all lost to Mrs. Zhang's child.

Every day, I have to sweep the floor and feed the chickens, wash clothes and take care of the children, and cook.

An adult woman is too tired to do these things, let alone just a child?

Originally, there was still some flesh on his face, but his round face was thinned down when he looked at it.

In this way, as long as Zhang Dabao and his wife are not happy, or Zhang Xiahe cries, Mrs. Zhang will be beaten every once in a while.

Some people can't see it, so they privately persuade Zhang Dabao and his wife, after all, this child brought Zhang Xiahe to them, and he is also a blessed one, why bother? Take care of it, and when you grow up in the future, you can still be Zhang Xiahe's daughter-in-law, which not only saves the dowry, but also does more than ten years of work for the Zhang family, how cost-effective!

Even if you don't want her to be your daughter-in-law, you can raise her well, marry out, and receive a bride price!

Zhang Dabao and his wife are right to think about it, this is much more cost-effective than spending a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future!

Since she wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, she can't be tortured too much, otherwise her body is too weak, how can she inherit the Zhang family?

It's a little better, at least I'm no longer beating and scolding at every turn.

After less than two years, Zhao became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to another daughter, a son and a daughter made up a good one, but Zhang Dabao was happily pregnant.

Since giving birth to this second daughter, Zhao's belly is like a light, one a year, and two sons have been born, and only one girl will give up. With Mrs. Zhang, there are a total of seven children in the family waiting to be fed.

The Zhang family was already in an average situation, and there were so many mouths this time, and they had to eat, and the Zhao family gave birth to one a year, and there was not enough nutrition, and half of his body collapsed, and he was lying on the kang most of the time.

The burden of the family is on Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabao was worried about not having a son before, but now he is worried that he has too many children and can't support him.

At the end of the year, shaving food in the field, at the end of the year, during the New Year, people can still see some meat at home, but when the Zhang family arrives at the New Year, it is good to have a bowl of dry rice for one person.

This is thanks to Mrs. Zhang, although she is young, she is really diligent, and she has to do housework to take care of her younger brothers and sisters and serve the Zhao family.

I also have to plant some vegetables in front of and behind the house, so that there can be a little more on the dinner table at home.

Every day, I really get up before dawn and work until late at night.

It can be said that the children of the Zhang family were basically raised by Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang works day and night, and she washes and washes at home.

Steal some air, and go to the mountains to find some food

, come back and sell some money, and you can also make up for the family.

The people in Zhangjia Village said that Zhang Dabao and his wife were really lucky, and the family lost the daughter they raised, not to mention bringing so many children to the Zhang family, but also bringing up these younger brothers and sisters.

Some people also say that Zhang Dabao and his wife are shrewd, and they trained a child daughter-in-law for the family early.

It was a gossip between adults, but I don't know how it was heard by a group of children, who ran to Zhang Xiahe and laughed at him, saying that he had a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law he picked up, how to ......

Zhang Xiahe was Zhang Dabao's first son, and he liked it the most, even if the Zhang family was difficult, Zhang Xiahe was able to eat enough, and the clothes he wore were the cleanest and neatest in the family.

Even so, compared with other children in the village, he naturally still has some inferiority.

After hearing this, where can I stand it, I went home crying and making trouble, and said a lot of ugly things, don't want Mrs. Zhang to be his daughter-in-law, it's a shame!

I want to drive Mrs. Zhang out.

Zhang Dabao felt sorry for his son again, and promised that he would not let Mrs. Zhang be his daughter-in-law, but just want to drive Mrs. Zhang out, and Zhang Dabao was reluctant.

There is a mother-in-law Zhang in this family, there is a hot meal to eat every day when she comes back, the house is also cleaned up, several children are also brought up by Mrs. Zhang, and her daughter-in-law has to lie in bed for half a year in autumn.

The other children, although the second child is seven or eight years old, can barely do laundry, feed a chicken or something, and nothing else.

The third and fourth are naughty times, the eldest daughter, born in autumn, is the youngest and weakest, and she has always been in poor health, and she doesn't dare to let her do things on weekdays.

If Mrs. Zhang is kicked out, won't this family be messed up?

Therefore, Zhang Dabao only coaxed Zhang Xiahe, saying that he would not let Mrs. Zhang be his daughter-in-law, and let Mrs. Zhang be a girl in the family, just to serve their family.

After that, Zhang Xiahe took Mrs. Zhang as a maid, and several other small ones also followed suit, calling Mrs. Zhang every day.

When he went out, Zhang Xiahe was still boasting to his playmates in the village that he had a maid.

When someone met Zhang Dabao, they asked, did their family really treat Mrs. Zhang as a maid?

There are also those kind-hearted people, so they persuaded Zhang Dabao, don't look at anything else, just see Chuntao's child enter the Zhang family, there is really nothing bad, only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he shouldered half of the Zhang family's share, don't want others to be a child daughter-in-law, anyway, I have been raising it for more than ten years, and when my daughter marries out, it will be a help in the future, right?

How can you treat a good girl as a maid, isn't this a bad practice?

Zhang Dabao didn't care, his own son said that he didn't like Mrs. Zhang as a daughter-in-law, so what else did he say? Naturally, he wanted to save his son's face, and directly said that when Mrs. Zhang was picked up, she was just to see her pitiful and give her a bite to eat, where was there anything raised for nothing? Naturally, it is to make cattle for the Zhang family

Horses can be repaid.

When the neighbors saw Zhang Dabao so confused, where else could they say? I had to shake my head, and there was that shrewd person, so I said that the Zhang family would definitely regret it in the future.

Although the mother-in-law is young, she can't leave her at home now. Such a capable girl, who wouldn't rush it if she was someone else's house?

But the Zhang family is good, treating the child like this, the child is heartbroken, cold, and will be left alone in the future, but I am afraid that the hard days of the Zhang family are still ahead.

Zhang Dabao wanted to save face in front of outsiders, and said that he would treat Mrs. Zhang as a girl, and when she returned home, she was always a little uncomfortable.

At night, when the children were asleep, they told Zhao about it.

Zhao's most painful thing is Zhang Xiahe, because of Zhang Xiahe, she took off the hat that can't lay eggs, and no one laughs at her anymore.

In her mind, her son is really better than the world, and she is not satisfied with Mrs. Zhang, and feels that she is not worthy of her son.

Now that I heard that my son was unhappy, I didn't even think about it, so I naturally agreed.

Zhang Dabao actually regretted it in retrospect, and when he said it to Zhao, he didn't expect Zhao to spit him.

told a secret, it turned out that Mrs. Zhang was not raised by them, but stolen.

At the beginning, the two of them wanted to go to the town to ask if anyone wanted children, and they gave them away, but they didn't have many people.

Even if there is, it costs money to sell children, and the price is not low.

Where can Zhang Dabao and his wife have money? The two wandered around town for a few days, but they couldn't find a suitable one.

If they want to go back, the two couples are unwilling, and wanting children has become their demons.

The two husbands and wives were ruthless, feeling that there were few people in the town, and they couldn't find it in the future, so they simply went to the county town and got one back unconsciously.

After making up their minds, the two went to the county seat, but they were lucky, before they entered the city, they met an elderly mother-in-law holding a little girl who was asleep outside the city, and carrying a package.

Maybe it was because of the urgency or something, so he left the little girl and the package on the side of the road, and went into the woods.

The two couples saw that the little girl's eyebrows were picturesque, as beautiful as the doll on the New Year's painting, and when they saw that the little girl was neatly dressed, and the package beside them, they immediately became greedy.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mother-in-law did not come out of the forest, the two husbands and wives held the child and the other took the package, and ran away.

I ran out of a few miles in one go, and when I came back to my senses, I found that the little girl had woken up, and she was neither crying nor making trouble, so she coaxed her to say that the mother-in-law had sold her to the two of them.

The little girl was so frightened that she cried, and when she asked her what her name was, she only shook her head when she asked her where her house was, and when she asked her if she knew the mother-in-law, she shook her head.

I don't know.

Zhang Dabao and his wife put their minds at ease, and took the little girl to live in the town for a few days, making sure that the little girl didn't remember anything, and she didn't hear that anyone was looking for a child, so they took the little girl home. Ran Wen.

Therefore, the Zhao family is talented, and I don't know which family's child has been resold several times, who knows who the father and mother are? How can such a family background who doesn't understand be worthy of their son?

Okay, since the son doesn't want it, then let her work honestly at home, earn more money, marry a daughter-in-law for the eldest in the future, have four or five children in the family, and have more places to spend money.

Let her arrange several younger brothers and sisters, it's time to marry, and then find someone who is willing to pay to sell her, and keep the money as pension money.

When Zhang Dabao heard this, this was a good idea, and he immediately acquiesced.

At the same time, he also told Zhao to burn the package that Mrs. Zhang brought home at the beginning, so as not to find her father and mother according to the package in the future.

Zhao agreed, and the two couples reached an agreement and went to sleep.

I don't know if these words were heard by Mrs. Zhang, who got up in the middle of the night.

If she hadn't heard this, Mrs. Zhang might have endured it silently, feeling that she had been bought back as a child daughter-in-law. There are also a few families in this village who buy child daughters-in-law, and they are all sad in that day, as long as they get through it, it will be fine.

Unexpectedly, when I heard about her life experience, she was not bought back at all, but stolen back!

Suddenly I felt that my heart for the Zhang family had been fed to the dog!

It's just that Mrs. Zhang has been a child daughter-in-law for so many years, and she has long learned to be patient.

She remained silent, only paying attention to the Zhao family secretly.

The Zhao family has never taken Mrs. Zhang in their eyes, so naturally they haven't been too wary of her.

When she went out, there was no one at home, so she turned out a package from the box, which looked very old, and contained a few small clothes.

These small clothes, Mrs. Zhang has seen on her youngest sister Zhang Qiuju, but she is still curious about where her father and mother came from with such good clothes.

I asked once, and I was scolded by Zhao, scolding her for being shallow-eyed, such a big person, and staring at children's clothes and so on.

Mrs. Zhang watched Zhao touch and touch the material of the clothes, but after all, she was reluctant to burn the clothes and secretly hid them.

As for the furoshiki, the package for many years was yellow, Zhao gritted his teeth and secretly took it to the stove house, perhaps because he was in a hurry, but accidentally scratched a piece, revealing a little colorful paper inside.

The Zhao family didn't know how to read, so he only pulled out one and looked at it, and threw it into the stove with a weak heart, and it was all burned out.

Since then, Mrs. Zhang knows that these people in the Zhang family are unreliable, but she also knows that she is a lone woman, and if she leaves the Zhang family, she is afraid that if she leaves the village, she will not end up worse.

After that, she was cold-hearted, especially the younger brothers and sisters who she brought up, after playing outside with Zhang Xiahe for a few days, she never called her eldest sister when she came back.

The second sister Zhang Dongmei and the youngest sister Zhang Qiuju disliked her even more, saying that she was a bought girl and was not worthy of sleeping in the same room with them, so they drove her to the firewood room.

Mrs. Zhang has nothing to be nostalgic for, in addition to working every day, she goes up the mountain.

In the past, when I went up to the mountain to find something delicious, I was reluctant to bring it back to a few younger brothers and sisters.

Since then, Mrs. Zhang has been shrewd and capable, and when she found food in the mountains, she secretly ate it herself, hid everything she couldn't eat, and took it home no longer stupid.

Of course, she wasn't stupid enough not to take anything back, just pick up some cheap, worthless things to take back.

Secretly hide the valuable ones, and when they go to the market to sell them, they put them under the bamboo baskets, and then take the opportunity to sell them.

Because she has always been careful, and the Zhang family has not been fortified, she has saved hundreds of big money.

Later, Zhang Xiahe was old and wanted to say that he was married, but no one was willing to marry him, not to mention that the Zhang family was too poor, but to say that the Zhang family was so unkind, and those who felt a little sorry for their daughters were not willing to marry their daughters to such a family.

There is no way, Zhang Dongmei is also old, and the girl can say that as long as she is willing to marry, there is nothing that she can't marry.

Not to mention that this Dongmei looks quite good, especially the work at home is basically done by Mrs. Zhang, and their brothers and sisters have never done any work, and their skin is white.

This white covers up the three ugliness, especially although the Zhang family is poor and can't eat any good things, but Zhang Dongmei followed her mother Zhao, with a convex front and a round buttocks, in the eyes of the countrymen, it can give birth to a son.

Therefore, there are really many descendants who still ask for marriage.

Zhang Dabao and Zhao thought about it for a long time, and among a bunch of people who were seeking relatives, they found a family with a son in a village dozens of miles away.

The son of the family took a fancy to Zhang Dongmei at a glance, and her mother-in-law also fell in love with Zhang Dongmei's well-born physique, but gave a lot of dowry gifts and married Zhang Dongmei home.

With this dowry, plus Zhang Dabao and Mrs. Zhang's hard work for several years, I finally bought Zhang Xiahe a daughter-in-law.

The girl in the mountains, her brother is also waiting to sell the girl's dowry to marry a daughter-in-law.

Zhang Dabao was reluctant to pay this money, and at first he had the idea of changing his parents, so he exchanged Mrs. Zhang for the brother as a daughter-in-law, and exchanged this sister back.

But the dislike of the elder brother Mrs. Zhang is old, and after hearing that, Mrs. Zhang deliberately dressed herself ugly, looking old and dark, and she really couldn't do it, so she just left.

Zhang Xiahe's marriage made the Zhang family almost bankrupt.

The two younger brothers below can't sit still, this is for the eldest brother to marry the mother-in-law, the family foundation is almost dry, they are also going to the age of marrying the mother-in-law, the family wants money and no money, nothing, how to marry a daughter-in-law?

Do you have to fight a single? It's sky-high at home.

Although Zhang Dabao loves his eldest son the most, the two younger sons were not picked up! The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and although the palms are thicker, there are two on the backs of the hands.

For a while, the Zhang family was a chicken flying and a dog jumping!

Mrs. Zhang already existed at that time

has hundreds of big money, and is planning to wait for the children of the Zhang family to get married, can I also find an honest family, it doesn't matter if I am poor, as long as I can leave the Zhang family, I can always earn it in the future by relying on my own hands.

Unexpectedly, because of this commotion, it was also Mrs. Zhang's negligence, and the place where she secretly hid her private money was seen by Zhang Qiuju, the youngest daughter of the Zhang family.

Naturally, I went to tell my father!

This is a hornet's nest, Mrs. Zhang was severely beaten by Zhang Dabao's father and son, and almost lost half of her life.

All the private money hidden was searched, and if it weren't for her hard life, she wouldn't have survived.

The Zhang family didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang actually had an outside heart and hid private money.

In the end, Zhang Dabao and Zhao's hearts are weak, and they guess whether Mrs. Zhang knows her life experience, and she can't raise it well, so she simply doesn't do it, and there are two sons in the family who want to marry a daughter-in-law.

I looked everywhere to see if there were any people who bought their daughters-in-law at high prices.

It just so happened that the original partner of Wang Laozhu of the Wang family died at that time, leaving only one daughter, and the Wang family passed down for several generations, and it was imperative to continue the incense.

Mrs. Lin visited Zhang's house, and heard that Mrs. Zhang had a belt luck, and no one knew that Zhang Dabao and his wife had no children.

It was only after Mrs. Zhang arrived at Zhang's house that she brought so many children to Zhang's family.

Therefore, he thought about it, and Wang Laozhu was a continuation after all, and there was a child left in front of him, and Mrs. Lin was afraid that the later marriage would not be good for the child.

Mrs. Zhang's ability is known to everyone, and what makes Mrs. Lin even more satisfied is that Mrs. Zhang was picked up, and she used to be a child daughter-in-law.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to marry Mrs. Zhang into the door.

Although Wang Laozhu didn't agree at first, but at that time, Mr. Wang was still alive, he had seen more people outside, and Mrs. Zhang had also sold mountain goods in his hands a few times, which was also impressive, but he felt that Mrs. Zhang was tough, shrewd and capable, and could afford to support her family.
