Chapter 30: Returning Home and Meeting Li Min'er
Walking into Xiahe Village, the Li family was at the east end of the village, and Li Guoer saw from a distance that there was a young girl washing clothes by the small river on the side of the road.
The girl was dressed in white-washed clothes, and she scrubbed the clothes in the wooden basin vigorously.
Li Guoer didn't care about it at first, but when she walked in, she heard a faint sobbing, looked for the sound, and found that it was the girl who was washing clothes by the river who was crying.
The girl's back was very lonely, but inexplicably Li Guoer felt a little familiar, and she involuntarily stepped closer.
The closer she got, the more Li Guoer felt that this girl was familiar, the clothes she was wearing, her back, and the clothes she washed on her hands were also familiar.
"Cousin Min'er?" After thinking quickly in her mind, Li Guo'er tentatively spoke.
When she came back before, she met those who came to the Li family to withdraw from their relatives, and this is the closest to the Li family, and the girl who was crying while washing clothes by the river at this time was very likely to be Li Min'er from the fourth room.
As for Li Yin'er in the big house, although she is not favored, she is a scheming person, and now that she is approaching the day of marriage, how can she come out to wash her clothes?
Li Min'er, who was crying sadly, heard the voice, raised her head to look at Li Guo'er, and saw that it was the cousin of the third room, and forced out a bitter smile.
Li Min'er looked at Li Guo'er in a friendly manner: "Cousin Guo'er, are you back......"
For Li Guoer, the cousin of the third room, Li Miner can't say that she likes it, and she can't say that she hates it, and when she learned that Li Guoer died of her fiancé and committed suicide by cutting her wrists, she also felt sorry for Li Guoer.
When they were young, the two played together, but as they grew up, she had more things to do, so they slowly drifted apart.
"Cousin Min'er, are you in a bad mood?" Li Guoer knew that Li Min'er must have heard that her engaged husband's family had withdrawn from her family, and she was hiding here crying alone.
She really wanted to say that she met those people on the way back, and helped say some good things, no accident, Li Min'er should not be dismissed, but ......
Li Min'er responded lightly, and her eyes were lost when the wind was strong.
After thinking about it, Li Guoer pretended to speak casually. "Hey, I don't know what the fourth aunt thinks in her heart, just you and your cousin Ya'er's two daughters, why don't you think about it?
On my way back, I heard someone say that the fourth aunt was like a shrew, but it frightened people!
Sister-in-law Haitang and sister-in-law Botang are too, as your sister-in-law, they don't help you, and they still talk cool things, hey......"
Li Guo'er sighed with a sigh on her face, and looked at Li Min'er's expression as she spoke.
Li Min'er's hand moved, and her eyes fell on Li Guo'er, and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
She heard the words of her mother, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law by accident before, but what happened to the cousin in the third room? Could it really be that I heard it by accident on the way back?
What should she do if she is divorced? Where should I go, to be married to a worse family, to go to the mountains?
Thinking of this, Li Min'er suddenly had no love and muttered. "What to do? What to do? ”
Thinking of her mother's power, Li Min'er couldn't wait in her heart, she was not born in the fourth room, she hated that she had to be the daughter of the fourth room of the Li family......
"Cousin Min'er, people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, the fourth aunt doesn't treat you as a daughter, if you are divorced, I don't know what kind of family the fourth aunt will marry to? Wasn't Zhang Cuilian, the head of the Zhang family in the village, sold by her father and mother? ”
After saying this meaningfully, Li Guoer didn't stop, got up and left, and walked towards the courtyard of the Li family.
Li Min'er stared blankly at Li Guo'er's departing back, and her heart fell into the ice cave......
Yes, if she is withdrawn, I am afraid that she will end up like Zhang Cuilian of the Zhang family, and a few times she woke up in the middle of the night, but she listened to her mother tell her father that she would exchange her for a dowry and marry a daughter-in-law to the third brother.
The third brother is estimated to be divorced, and he will definitely have to find a new relationship when the time comes, and she, the daughter who has been withdrawn, will bear the brunt of the sacrifice.
Li Guoer entered the courtyard of the Li family, and happened to see the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the fourth room talking quietly with their heads down.
With a roll of her eyes, Li Guo'er chuckled and said, "Yo, fourth aunt, what are you talking about with the two sisters-in-law?" ”
"Nothing, nothing ......"
There was a flash of panic in Liu's eyes in the fourth room, and he hurriedly waved his hand, not daring to look at Li Guo'er.
"Oh, do you think the fourth aunt is talking about Cousin Tao's family?" seemed to be smiling, Li Guoer threw out such a sentence, and her eyes fell on the little Wang and Zhao who were not kind to the side.
Xiao Wang is Li Hai's daughter-in-law and the niece of the same clan of Dafang Wang, so she is called Xiao Wang in the Li family.
Xiao Wang's family and Dafang Wang's family are from the same Wang family, and they have a close relationship, and Dafang Wang's head is full of ghost ideas, and Xiao Wang's ears and eyes are not good......
Liu's face was stunned, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. "There's nothing to do, I'm idle with your sister-in-law Haitang, sister-in-law Botang, and there is a chatter between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Li Guo'er smiled without saying a word, entered the three-room room, put the watermelon seeds taken out of the carry-on space, and took out one tael of the two taels of silver given by the Yang family before and returned it to the Yang family.
According to the price of seeds in Wanping Town, two taels of silver can't buy the pack of watermelon seeds in Li Guoer's hand, but the watermelon seeds were taken out of the space by Li Guoer, and it didn't cost a penny, Li Guoer left one or two, and she felt guilty in her heart.
"Guo'er, what kind of seeds did you buy, why did you use a tael of silver......
Yang looked at the one or two pieces of silver in his hand, thought about it, and still opened his mouth to ask.
Although she gave two taels of silver, Li Guoer also had one or two left, but ......
She just saw a small packet of seeds, how could it be worth a tael of silver? One tael of silver can buy a hundred catties of polished rice, what seeds are so expensive, will my daughter be deceived?
Li Guo'er lowered her voice and whispered a few words in Yang's ear, and Yang's eyes widened in confusion.
Watermelon seeds, watermelons are not easy to grow!
A few years ago, there were two families in the village who also bought seeds to plant watermelons, which grew quite well at first, but in the back, most of the melon seedlings died in a heavy rain, and the remaining half finally bore melons, but they were not as good as day by day, and the melon seedlings turned yellow, and finally all became diseased melons......
Yang continued to speak in a trembling voice. "Guo'er, these watermelon seeds are very expensive, I heard that one or two pieces of silver can only buy a small packet, how can you buy so much?"
Li Guo'er listened to Su's words and was stunned.
Yes, how did she forget, there were also people in the village who planted watermelons a few years ago, and the price of that kind of seeds was very expensive......
"Mother, no, it's not the season to grow watermelons, the shopkeeper of that kind of shop saw me buy it, so he gave it all to me, and only symbolically received one or two silvers." Li Guoer far-fetched such a lie, hoping to dispel Yang's doubts.
Yang didn't ask anything more when he heard this, and went to make dinner.
