Mei Lao Xiucai's face was a little unnatural, "Isn't this a big cow and two cows who don't have a new jacket to wear for the New Year, my mother is tight, so I went to ask Lao Cheng to borrow a tael of silver......" Speaking, Mei Lao Xiucai felt that his own confidence in front of his daughter-in-law was not enough to lose the man's face, and immediately grimaced and said: "You are a woman who cares so much!" Can't I even be the master of these two pieces of silver? Just take the money, and ask people to ask for debts and mumble at the door of the house, and there will be light on your face. ”

Seeing that his father was so angry, his eyebrows and eyes were so scary, and the young Sister Qiu was so frightened that she hid in Jia's arms and sobbed desperately.

Jia Shi lowered his head and went to the bottom of the kang to find a brick, took out a cloth bag covered with dust, and handed it to Mei Lao Xiucai, who opened the cloth bag, and there was a silver hairpin in it, about one or two more than one.

Mei Lao Xiucai was satisfied, coughed and relieved his expression, and said to Jia's family: "When you have the money to sit in the hall in the spring of this year, my husband will definitely buy you a golden hairpin." When he had finished speaking, he went out with a silver hairpin.

Jia Shi couldn't hold it anymore, and cried loudly in his arms with Sister Qiu in his arms.

When Jia Shi found an opportunity to take Sister Qiu to the town to go to the eldest brother's house, she really couldn't bear it, complained to her brother and sister-in-law, tears rained down, sister-in-law Nian accompanied her to say a few words, and scolded Mei Laoxiu for a few words, Sister Qiu's eldest uncle only sighed a few times after listening to it, relieved a few words, and asked Nian to wrap a bag of sucrose for Jia to take back, and nothing else was said.

Sister Qiu remembers clearly, Jia's has a big brother, an eldest sister, Jia's out of the cabinet for only six months, Sister Qiu's grandparents passed away one after another, Sister Qiu's uncle sold the house and the land, and went to the town to set up a grocery store, the idea is not bad, the life is rich, it is not good for Jia's, but it is not bad, Jia's married to Xiaohe Town for ten years, he has never come to visit his little sister, but it is Jia's to visit him in the town, he will also give Jia's some gifts such as cane sugar cakes sold in the store, asked Jia to take him back to her husband's house, and there was light on her face.

Sister Qiu didn't want to sprinkle salt on Jia's heart, in Jia's opinion, no matter how outsiders looked at her as a big brother, she always felt good, and there was a thought about a mother's brother, and her heart was a little more confident. But Sister Qiu has no way, Jia is a traditional country woman, taking men as the sky, she is used to inferiority and self-pity as a woman, she knows the cruelty and difficulty of this world to women, and always wants to find a reliance for herself, even if this reliance is only psychological.

Hearing Sister Qiu's words, Jia Shi was silent for a long time, and said in a dumb voice: "You kid, you are becoming more and more disobedient, your eldest uncle is an elder, can you arrange it randomly?" If you talk nonsense again, your mother will beat you. ”

Jia Shi is really angry.

Sister Qiu hurriedly hugged Jia's arm, her body is only 10 years old, Jia's is her only reliance in this world, if she doesn't want to sell the Mei family for silver money and noodles, and wants to live a life of food and clothing, she must ask Jia's to stand on the united front with her, and the current Jia's is very obvious, there is nothing to say about pampering her, but she is afraid of this world, cowardly, inferior and self-pity, and has no courage to leave this family, and it is impossible to imagine that a woman can support the door independently.

Sister Qiu has no complaints about Jia's temperament, only sympathy, but it is not something that can be done overnight to change a person's deep-rooted thoughts, Sister Qiu can only take her time and try it slowly.

Although it is a little unkind to think like this, in Sister Qiu's opinion, Mei Lao Xiucai's death is actually a good thing for Sister Qiu and Jia's family, Mei Lao Xiucai died, and the two of them have the opportunity to break away from the Mei family, otherwise, with Mei Lao Xiucai's characteristics of the best phoenix man, Sister Qiu may also change her fate by marrying, but Jia can only be trapped in the Mei family for the rest of her life, and be a cow and a horse for the Mei family.

"Mother, don't be angry." Sister Qiu's face was buried in Jia's shoulder, and she said in a sneering voice, "It's me who is wrong, I said the wrong thing." ”

The girl obediently understood the matter, Jia's heart suffered a lot, and at the same time there was a wisp of remorse, just spoke to the girl in too heavy tone, and Sister Qiu, who couldn't complain, rejected the big cow and the second cow like this, the two male babies of the Mei family are indeed not people who can be relied on, and they all follow the two of them, greedy and lazy.

Jia patted his daughter's back and whispered: "Stupid child, how can my mother be angry with you, don't think about these things, go to bed early." ”

Sister Qiu nodded, only to close her eyes, suddenly thought about something, turned over and crawled out of the nest, found the jacket resting on the side of the kang in the dark, and found half of the nest from the sleeve, which was secretly stuffed to her by Jia Shi during dinner.

The night in early spring was very cold, and Sister Qiu shivered and went back to the nest, broke a piece of the nest and stuffed it into Jia's mouth.

Tasting the nest in his mouth, Jia Shi was surprised, and pushed away Sister Qiu's palm that was stretched out to stuff the nest again, "Why don't you eat it?" Jia asked heartbrokenly.

Sister Qiu laughed, a pair of black grape-like eyes shining in the dark, "Brother Fang Zhun and Da Yin listened to the milk and scolded people, and didn't give me a full meal, so they asked me to go out and gave me green onion pancakes to eat, and the food was fragrant and full." As he spoke, he patted his belly to show that he was really full.

Jia's work for a day, from morning to night, how can he eat half a nest for dinner? Hungry and hungry and sick, there is an orphan girl who has no father and no mother, and Sister Qiu's fate is also worrying.

"Good...... Your Aunt Chunhua's family are all good people......" Jia Shi stretched out his palm and wiped the water at the end of her eyes, she was useless, she didn't even have the ability to ask Sister Qiu to eat well, and relied on Dazhun and Dayin to help with kindness.

"Mother, you eat nests, and only when you are full can you have the energy to work." Sister Qiu whispered, and broke another piece of the nest into Jia's mouth. The nest is cold backwards, sticky and hard, chewing is very hard, and there is no sweetness when it is hot, just when eating, there is Mao's look, one bite is not allowed to eat more, this time there is no opportunity to heat up, you can only make do with Jia's to eat cold nest, it is better than sleeping hungry.

Outside the house, the moonlight was covered, Jia's emaciated face was hidden in the shadows, Sister Qiu carefully stuffed her nest, Jia's shook her hand, and said softly: "Mother is not hungry, you can also eat." ”

Sister Qiu saw Jia's resolute attitude, so she broke off a small piece and stuffed it into her own mouth, and the mother and mother nested in the nest, eating half of the cool nest, although it was sad, but it was also a child's sincere comfort.

There is only a faint light in the earthen embryo room, Sister Qiu's eyes widened, and she can only barely distinguish the outline of the basket hanging from the roof beams, in this small, dark, and damp and musty earthen embryo room, Sister Qiu clenched her fists and swore that she would definitely take her mother to live a stable and prosperous life, and no longer be bullied!

After Mao's anger on the night of Sister Qiu's home, it was very quiet for a few days, Sister Qiu also figured out why Mao's temperament, in Mao's eyes, she is the most high-ranking ruler of the Mei family, she wants whoever to do what she wants, who she wants to eat as much as she wants, the money earned by her son is hers, and the clothes that Sister Qiu brought home should also be distributed by her, but Sister Qiu has no eyes, and she didn't hand over the good clothes to her for a while. She played with a 10-year-old girl and took away her clothes, Sister Qiu was stupid to ask her for it, and in shame, Mao took the opportunity to break out, and wanted to fiercely pick up Sister Qiu and Jia who dared to challenge her if they were disobedient to discipline.

Seeing that Sister Qiu and Jia's days are very obedient, she doesn't even dare to come out in front of her, Mao's heart is inevitably meaningful, and her attitude towards Sister Qiu is also better, at least she no longer deducts Sister Qiu to eat, and the easy work at home, such as beating pigs and eating grass, feeding grass pigs and chickens, etc., will also be assigned to Mei Yindi to do, in this regard, Mei Yindi's anger is terrible, when she sees Sister Qiu, she will be a yin and yang squeeze, why don't you want Sister Qiu to do her work? Carrying Mao's back, catching grass pigs and beating them with sticks, it is not good to feed chickens.

Sister Qiu only pretended not to look and listen, and didn't want to conflict with the Mei family again. It's not that she's afraid of the Mei family, the original owner of this body follows the temper of the Jia family, only 10 years old Nizi, who doesn't go out much, is introverted and autistic, and doesn't have much understanding of this society.

Although she came here with the wisdom of the 21st century, her social work experience in the previous life told her that if you want to live a good life, you must abide by the rules of this society, otherwise you will kill yourself. The woman of the 21st century, who is already very free, is still like this, not to mention that she is now a low-status woman in ancient times, she can unconsciously be like other soul-wearing women, say a few words of freedom and democracy, or recite a few poems, and these ancients can hold her high and worship her like a god. If she behaves or remarks out of the ordinary, she is more likely to ask the people of Creek Town to think that she is possessed by a goblin......

Judging from her observations in the past few days, the Mao family is afraid that they will not let the Jia family go, and the crowds on both sides of the sound on both sides of the three days will say at every turn that those widows who are married to Xu Ermarry's family are dead and want to divide the bodies of the little ghosts in the Yama Palace, and they are not afraid that the Jia family will remarry and leave the Mei family, and the Mei family will have no free labor force to call!

The weeping willow leaves on the riverside have grown a lot, the wind blows, the leaves of the birch trees are like clapping hands, the wheat seedlings in the ground are growing just right, the rape flowers are also about to bloom, from a distance, the whole Xiaohe Town is full of oil and green, the river water of Qinglingling, the green fields, the green yellow and red wild flowers are full of fields, there is still a cold winter breath a few days ago, but it seems to be a moment of work, spring has come, the fields are beautiful and full of vitality.
