After washing her clothes, Xiaoyu returned to her mud-brick house.

This mud-brick house is at the foot of the mountain, not far from the river, it is an ancestral home of the Gu family, because it has fallen into disrepair, the roof has leaked rain, and it may collapse at any time.

Seeing such a dilapidated house, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh again.

Originally, Xiao Yu married the second son of the Gu family, so he should be regarded as a member of the Gu family, and he could live in the small house newly built by the Gu family, but on the day of the marriage, Xiao Yu listened to the instigation of some people, and he couldn't think of looking for death.

After the Gu family rescued her, they were worried that she would seek death again, and it would be unlucky to die in a new building, so they placed her in this ancestral house, and then gave her 30 catties of rice, and let her fend for herself.

Now the little fish have no fields, no land, no vegetables, no oil and water in their stomachs, and their hands are shaking when they dry their clothes.

Xiaoyu was drying his clothes, when a cold voice came from outside:

"Where's the laundry?"

Xiaoyu turned around and saw a rural woman about 50 years old standing outside the courtyard, her wrinkled face looking very indifferent, but she was carrying two taels of pork belly in her hand.

"Hmm......" Xiaoyu replied.

This is her new mother-in-law, Wang Guihua.

Wang Guihua walked into the courtyard, looked left and right at the courtyard, and then said: "It's very clean, and if it's clean, it means that you want to live a good life, so you don't plan to look for death?" ”

Xiaoyu nodded, and then stared at the pork belly in her hand greedily.

She has eaten some human food, but she thinks it is delicious, everything she eats is fragrant, she still has a lot of things to eat, how can she be willing to die.

"This meat is for you to cook at night, you should know how to cook it, right?" Wang Guihua asked.

Xiaoyu nodded again, took the meat, and then looked at the fat on it stupidly, she likes fat, and there is a lot of oil and water when she looks at it.

Wang Guihua is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted, she is angry now, and she is also angry that Xiaoyu is looking for death that day, if she really dies, not only will she not be engaged, but she also has to collect Xiaoyu's body, and she is said by the people in the village that she abused her daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Xiaoyu was not looking for death at this time, Wang Guihua put her mind at ease, and said again: "Alas, you are really, the reason why I asked you to be my daughter-in-law is also because I saw that you can do any work in Village Chief Li's house, thinking that as long as you can work well in our Gu family and live a down-to-earth life, then our Gu family will not treat you badly, who knows that you are good, and you actually want to seek death."

Although my second child has not come back yet, and the people in the village always say that there is something wrong with him, but my own son I understand that he is not the kind of person that others say, and he must have his own reasons for not coming home all year round......"

Wang Guihua talked for a long time, but Xiaoyu didn't listen to it very much, she only looked at the piece of meat, searching for how to cook the meat in the memory of the original owner.

Wang Guihua saw that Xiaoyu was still as stupid as before, so she shook her head and didn't bother to talk about her.

But when Wang Guihua turned around to leave, she suddenly heard a "Thank you!" ”

She turned around in surprise and saw Xiao Yu looking at her and laughing, and the "thank you" was also said by Xiao Yu.

At that moment, Wang Guihua seemed to see a different little fish.

But Xiaoyu picked up the pork belly and couldn't wait to run into the stove.

Wang Guihua sighed and shook her head again.

……

Although the original owner Xiaoyu is a fool, every day is stupid, but the work is a good hand, when she used to live in the village chief's house, she was beaten and scolded when she didn't work, cooking, chopping wood, cleaning and feeding pigs...... I'm busy like a spinning top all day long, and I can do any job.

Now the little fish has the memory of the original owner, and they also know how to cook meat.

After lighting the fire, she first cut off the fat meat and fried it in a pan to make oil residue, then scooped up the oil residue, and then put the thin one in to simmer, and after a while, the smell of meat came from the stove.

Xiaoyu cooked two more bowls of white rice and ate them with the meat and oil residue until his stomach bulged, and then he put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction.

She wants to taste all the human food.

Except for fish.

After the meal, she washed the dishes and finally returned to her room.

The room had a crumbling bed, a patched bedding, and a table moth-eaten with whitewash.

There is a black and white photo on the table, in the photo is her current husband Gu Jingshan, Gu Jingshan is young and handsome, as if he has seen it somewhere.

When Xiaoyu first moved in, he wanted to throw this photo out, but because he felt familiar, he kept it.

This Gu Jingshan left home at the age of sixteen, and has only returned home three times in ten years, and the last time he went home was a year ago, and he has not been heard from since.

People in the village said that he was a strange man, doing shady things outside, and some people even said that he died outside at the beginning of the year.

But the Gu family didn't believe it, and the reason why they married him a daughter-in-law early was because they hoped that he would come back sooner.

Xiao Yu put the black and white photo back on the table, and then lay on the bed, thinking about how to spend the rest of the day.

She is no longer a fool, she is a little fish of elves, there is no endless road, as long as she studies more, it will not be a problem to support herself.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the yard, as if someone was climbing the wall.
