Aunt Liu lost her momentum, she always felt that she hadn't seen her for a long time, Mu Qingniang seemed to have changed a little, but she was not close to this nominal daughter-in-law, and she didn't live together, so she really couldn't say what had changed for a while.

She was angry in her heart, and when she saw Ah Shui pulling Mu Qingniang, she shifted her firepower, "Ah Shui, you are a fool with no brains, and you don't want to think about who your family is." Who is in a hurry? If it weren't for your milk and I watched it every day, this sassy fox would have sold you sooner or later. ”

Ah Shui was only four years old, the son of Liu Hu, the short-lived man married by Mu Qingniang, and his ex-wife, he was scared by Aunt Liu's yelling, and couldn't help but shrink behind Mu Qingniang, with tears in his big eyes, full of panic.

When Mu Qingniang heard this, her face changed suddenly.

"Mu Qingniang, who are you showing with a sad face?" Aunt Liu was upset, and she didn't choose to say anything in anger, "You killed my son and ruined the family." Don't think I don't know, you just use Ah Shui as an oil bottle, you hook up with men everywhere, want to leave Ah Shui and run with men, tell you, with me, you don't want to! ”

"Whew! Look at the way you shout, you are bullying and bullying children. ”

As soon as her momentum came up, Aunt Liu seemed to have seen a ghost, and Mu Qingniang said that she would take a step back.

"You said that Ah Shui was wronged by me, why didn't you treat him well? What are you doing as a grandmother besides coming to the yard from time to time to shout? Did you give him a bite to eat? ”

Since she knew that she was reluctant to be married, and handed over the child left by her deceased son to her to raise, the Liu family's friendship with Ah Shui was like that.

Aunt Liu couldn't be angry, "You are her mother, of course you should take care of him!" ”

"I'll take him with me, and I don't need you to remind me." Mu Qingniang pointed to the door, "Now, go out from my house." ”

"This is also my house, our Liu family's house, why let me go out!"

Mu Qingniang sneered, this old woman is still addicted, right?

"It seems that it was a joke to divide the family two years ago, Nacheng, let's go to Lizheng and say that our family is not divided, and the family property is divided equally. Oh, and my dowry silver, ten taels, should be returned to me! ”

Aunt Liu naturally didn't follow, not to mention that the family's production land was saved by the older generation of her family, even if the dowry money was put into her pocket, don't think about it, "Don't you think about it!" ”

"Since the family is separated, this family is mine, what do you care about what I do at home"

"I am your mother-in-law, you are disrespectful to me, this is unfilial piety!"

"Then leave me."

One sentence immediately blocked Aunt Liu.

The Mu family paid ten taels of silver to get Mu Qingniang into this ravine, not for anything else, but to make her unable to leave this place for the rest of her life and die here in poverty.

Therefore, although Aunt Liu was angry to death, she didn't dare to divorce Mu Qingniang, otherwise she would offend the Mu family.

Mu Qingniang didn't think as much as her, so she pulled the two children back to the house, and said to the yard, "Remember to go out and help bring the courtyard door." ”

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth angrily, but she didn't dare to make trouble, she was not qualified to manage the family, she was afraid that Mu Qingniang would go to Lizheng and ask for her family property, and there was no way to think about it, so she had to run away in disgrace.

As soon as Aunt Liu left, not only Mu Qingniang, but even the two children seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, this Aunt Liu was really a headache.

Ah Shui is so small, and he is also a member of the Liu family, he knows who is sincere and who is fake, not to mention the older Ah Qian.

Ah Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, full of joy, and said in disbelief, "Aunt Liu didn't scold me." "It's nice to say they didn't notice him.

Mu Qingniang's heart was sour, holding the face of the eldest child, "Ah Qian, it's all my sister who is not good, and you are wronged......"

Unlike Ah Shui, Ah Qian is not the Liu family, but her younger brother, the younger brother of the blood family.

"What did Sister say? Sister is my only relative, as long as I can be with my sister, I am not afraid of any hardship! ”

Mu Qingniang sighed, and said that suffering makes people grow, but Ah Qian's maturity is too distressing.

Originally, Ah Qian was also a young master from a big family, but now he can only live a hard life with her, a peasant girl who is a stepmother.

This Mu Qingniang was originally the eldest daughter of the Mu family, the richest man in Xiangshui County, and two years ago, her grandfather's family, who was the imperial doctor, was convicted and exiled, and her father, who was afraid of things, abandoned her mother and married the concubine of the county order.

Poor her mother, Li Shi, had to live on the streets with her young sister-in-law, relying on the monthly silver of the original owner to barely survive.

It's a pity that the Mu family kept the original owner not for family affection, but because the original owner had already been looked down upon by another rich family, but the rich family was older than the original owner's father, and he was planning to accept her as a concubine.

So the original owner was returned, and her ruthless father was angry and annoyed, and sent her to a remote Linshui village in a rage, and found a farmer who was shaving food in the field to serve as a step-room.

To say that the original owner was also unlucky, the second time he married, before he got started, the new husband was dragged to the army and died on the battlefield. Mu Qingniang, a yellow flower girl, became a widow who married twice, with the son of her husband's ex-wife, and suffered from the anger of her nominal mother-in-law, and lived a bad life.

A few days ago, his younger brother Ah Qian, who was forced to separate because of the original owner's marriage, was somehow found, and at the same time brought a bad news, their mother passed away.

A series of blows, coupled with the hardships of life, finally completely crushed the original owner, despair of poverty and hopeless life, and threw himself into the river. Although he was rescued in time, it was a pity that he died in the end, and then a female doctor from another time and space came.

Mu Qingniang took Ah Qian's hand and touched Ah Shui's head again.

She not only took over the life of the original owner, but also took on the responsibility of the original owner and took care of this younger brother and stepson. What's more, these two children are well-behaved and make people pity from the bottom of their hearts.

She fell into the water and was rescued, lying in bed, and in a daze, she felt that the two children fed her water little by little, and she survived.

"You're hungry, I'll cook for you first. Ah Qian, you take Ah Shui to wash your face. ”

The two boys ran out happily, there was a branch of the Qinghe River outside Linshui Village, the water quality was very good, and the villagers took water directly from the river.

Mu Qingniang opened the cabinet where the grain was stored and couldn't help sighing.

Two small sweet potatoes, a bowl of black noodles, that's all.

The Liu family didn't care about her life or death at all, and let her go when she split up.

The original owner was a young lady who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and she would also use medical skills, relying on treating the villagers, occasionally going to the mountains to collect medicine, and selling it for money, so she lived half-starved and half-full. After Ah Qian found it, he found a job herding cattle, and all the copper plates he earned were exchanged for grain and brought back to subsidize his family.

But even so, there is not much food left at home.

Mu Qingniang washed all the sweet potatoes, cut them into small pieces, made a paste with black batter, and simmered them in the pot, and dripped two drops of rapeseed oil.

Waiting for the break when breakfast was simmered, she went to clean up the herbs picked back yesterday, because they were not spread out in time to dry, the quality of many herbs has declined, and the price of the medicine after concoction will be reduced, but she feels sorry for her.

It's all to blame on that thief!

There was a sound of small footsteps outside the courtyard, guessing that the two boys should be back, Mu Qingniang didn't raise her head to greet her, "Go get the bowl, let's eat." ”

"Huh? Did my sister-in-law make me food? ”

Mu Qingniang raised her head when she heard this, saw the person who came, and instantly sank her face, it was Liu Qu, the fourth elder of the Liu family, her little brother-in-law, his eyes were sticky, floating towards her, it was disgusting to death.

"Nope!" She pointed to the door, "Don't come in, step on my medicine." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be so ruthless." Liu Laosi was shy and wanted to rub into the yard.

It just so happened that Ah Qian came back with Ah Shui, and he shouted from afar, "Uncle Liu, have you come to see Ah Shui?" Ah Shui is here! ”

This voice shouted to the next yard.

Nominally, since Mu Qingniang's husband Liu Hu sent back the news of his death, she had the reputation of a Kefu and was separated by the Liu family to live alone, but in fact, it was her brother-in-law, who had just turned fifteen, who had lusted for her.

Even if it is as poor as Linshui Village, the widow and brother-in-law are also a big scandal. The Liu family was reluctant to give their son, let alone the money given by the Mu family, so they had to make the appearance of dividing the family, getting her widow out, and by the way, throwing her unpopular grandson to her to raise.

Although the family is separated, it does not mean that the Liu family will relax their care for her, and Aunt Liu keeps an eye on their courtyard all the time.

As soon as I heard Ah Qian's shouting, Aunt Liu chased her out, and saw her youngest son going to the courtyard next door, angry to death, both resentful of the fourth child's lack of anger, and hated Mu Qingniang's fox spirit to seduce people.

But Aunt Liu's scolding met Mu Qingniang's cold eyes, and somehow she couldn't spit it out.

She pulled her face and had to call her son, "Ah Qu, you have nothing to do to give my mother a hand!" ”

Facing his own mother, Liu Laosi didn't dare to resist and obediently followed.

Mu Qingniang's mood was ruined by this disciple, Ah Qian comforted her, "Sister don't be angry, I'll take you out of here when Ah Qian is older, and I won't let people bully you anymore." ”

"Ah Shui will also protect Ah Niang!" Ah Shui also raised his small hand to brush the sense of existence.

Mu Qingniang's heart is slightly warm, even if she is still living in a leaky house with insufficient food and clothing, but with such two well-behaved and lovely children, she feels that it is not so difficult.

The original owner felt that life was hopeless, but she didn't think so, she had a hand in medicine, and no matter how bad she was, she could support herself and a large family by digging herbs.

"Thank you, Ah Qian, Ah Shui, then I will wait for the filial piety of the two of you. Now you still have to fill your stomach before you can grow up quickly. Let's go, go to eat. ”

This large pot of simple sweet potato black batter also had a special taste, and they opened their bellies and quickly ate them all.

Ah Qian was older, knowing that there was food stored at home, and his eyes couldn't stop worrying. I've eaten it all in one meal, and I'm going to drink the northwest wind in the next meal?

Mu Qingniang comforted him, "Don't be afraid, if there is no food at home, we will eat meat." ”

Ah Qian, "...... Sister, have you ever heard of why you don't eat minced meat? ”
