014 Sanniang separates and stands on her own
When Luo Shi hurriedly ran to Sanniang's house, the yard was already noisy, and many villagers rushed to see the excitement when they heard the news.
I knew that Niu Qian's old lady was notoriously vicious, this little lady had only been asking for half a year, beating and scolding every day, and clearly did not treat her as a person, no wonder this daughter-in-law couldn't hold back her heart to split up, and secretly saved herself to deceive her.
Squeezed in from the wall of people watching the play, Luo Shi saw that the courtyard was in a mess, and the dust was flying.
The burden of the food drawer was smashed, the unsold vegetables were scattered all over the ground, and a few chickens ran out of the chicken pen, desperately trying to find the vegetables on the ground.
Sanniang's bun was scratched and wrinkled at this moment, and she sat on the ground with swollen cheeks—even if she was beaten like this, she held back her tears and refused to shed a drop.
Her mother-in-law, Lin Shi, sat on the bench angrily, her legs were spread wide, and she was holding a rattan in her hand, which looked shiny and shiny, and it looked like she usually took it out to beat people, and it was so smooth and smooth.
Listening to the lively people on the side, gossiping on the left and right, Luo Xian probably knew what was going on.
It turned out that Sanniang went to the West Village to sell vegetarian vegetables yesterday, and called her mother-in-law's family to see it. Today, I will take the cow away and wait for her to come back under the locust tree.
When he was caught at the entrance of the village, he slapped him and dragged Sanniang home all the way.
"Entered the door of my Niu family, death is also the ghost of my Niu family, you don't eat less on weekdays, you don't wear less, only half a year after the door, you dare to deceive me, this month is not less silver, right? You let that country man coax the lard to blind his heart, and dare to think of splitting up! ”
Lin scolded and his voice was hoarse, he must have been scolding for a long time.
Country chin, Luo Shi thought to herself, this should be her.
"The second child asked me to go to his grandmother's house, don't expect him to come back to save you, honestly hand over the money you saved to me, make a poisonous oath, and never get along with that Luo Shi in the future, I will let you go, otherwise, I will definitely ask you for a pair of legs today!"
Sanniang still lowered her head and didn't speak, she asked the Lin family to kill today, and she would never compromise.
Luo Shi couldn't help but wonder, what kind of feng shui is Niujia Village, how can such a mother-in-law grow old? really drove away the fox and lassoed the wolf, plucked the radish and planted the green onion - one stubble is hotter than the other, and the gang is fiercer than the other.
"Sanniang!"
Luo Shi shouted and walked into the yard generously, she first straightened Sanniang's hair, and then stood up with someone in her arms.
Seeing that her hind legs were weak and trembling, she looked down at her calves, only to know that she had already been drawn by the Lin family with blood, and it must be a pain in her heart.
"Aunt Lin, they are all daughters born and raised by their parents, why do you bother, the retribution of heaven is not happy, I don't know if you have a daughter who has been married, maybe now call her vicious mother-in-law, she has broken her tendons and feet, and her flesh and blood are blurred."
Seeing that Luo Shi dared to come forward, Lin suddenly bounced off the bench as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and scolded with his waist crossed:
"I haven't settled accounts with you, and you still dare to come to my house? If you hadn't instigated her, she would have been so bold to deceive me! You still dare to curse my daughter! ”
Shaking her head, Luo Shi didn't bother to have a verbal dispute with the Lin family, she turned to Sanniang:
"What are you going to do, today is a tear on your face, even if you hand over the ladder, you won't have a stable life in the future"
With a wry smile, Sanniang said in a dumb voice: "It was a stable life before?" If I really want to make do with it, why should I bother to break up the family? ”
Luo Shi knew his intentions, so he said: "This matter is not urgent, besides, Brother Niu Qian is not here, or you go home with me first, and when he comes, your husband and wife will discuss it, please come over and divide the home."
Sanniang nodded, and prepared to leave with Luo Shi.
"Don't go! Eldest daughter-in-law, close the courtyard door for me, dare to take a step, I will beat her to death! Lin pointed to the country, and the rattan in his hand pointed to the courtyard door.
The eldest daughter-in-law was overjoyed, and snickered and went to close the courtyard door, but if she paid some silver from the second daughter-in-law, she would definitely be able to eat a full meal tomorrow.
It's a pity that she is only halfway covered the door, and she only hears a "bang".
The courtyard door was kicked open, and the bounced door panel smashed on the head of the eldest daughter-in-law, and she screamed and pouted.
When Niu Qian learned the news, he ran four miles from his grandmother's house in one breath, without stopping for a moment, and finally returned home, but when he saw his wife's miserable appearance, even the burden of the food drawer that had taken a lot of effort and hope for him was also smashed!
For a while, grievances, resentment, and resentment erupted like a volcanic eruption:
"Separate! Separation! We don't want a penny, we don't want an acre of land, I just want to divide the family! ”
No matter how Lin cried and called his mother, rolling on the ground and splashing, Niu Qian ate the scales and made his heart, and he didn't have to invite Lizheng, he went straight to the room to clean up his things, except for the soft clothes and the iron box that Sanniang saved money, he didn't take anything away.
When he arrived in the courtyard, he helped Sanniang up, thanked Luo Shi, and then pushed aside the crowd and left without looking back.
Luo Shi chased after him and said hurriedly:
"You big man doesn't know how to feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, where else can she go like this? Hurry up and go to my house, I'll take care of the wound, don't bury the root of the disease in the future, it's a lifetime of suffering."
Niu Qian didn't answer, lowered his head and kept shrugging his shoulders, the tears of grievance and self-blame couldn't stop flowing down, Sanniang saw her husband crying, she couldn't help but shed tears, and the stubbornness in the courtyard turned into a gentle finger at this moment.
took the two of them home, Luo Shi called Niu Qian to go to the stove room to boil hot water, and then heat some food, Sanniang went out for a day, and she must have eaten nothing.
The sisters were talking in the house, and a few days ago she was still medicating Luo Shi, but now she has dropped it.
"My heart is bitter and happy, the most difficult to say, or relaxed" Sanniang held hot tea in her hand, her body trembled slightly.
Luo Shi touched her forehead, a little burned.
Thinking about it, it is beating and kneeling, and when the cold wind blows like this, the iron body should also blow out the problem.
"I know that since you have separated and you have chosen not to fight for anything, then you will start from scratch, didn't you plan to do so in the first place?"
Luo Shi said as she pulled out her padded jacket and put it on Sanniang.
"In the past, I also blamed him for being weak and not having an idea of his own, but today he is so determined for me, my heart is so hot that it is like a fire, but the impulse is one thing, we go out of the house, and there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain......"
"What's this, tomorrow I'm going to move into the new north house, you live in this thatched house first, tomorrow I'll call a few helpers, spend two days, and build another adobe house on the side."
After that, he took out two taels of silver from the money jar, stuffed it into her, and said: "There are still some mud bricks and orange grass piled up in my yard, and you can save a lot of money for materials, but it takes some money to ask someone to help."
Sanniang didn't refuse, she only wrote it down in her heart.
"This bed is newly covered by you, and I must cover my body and sweat to get rid of the disease, I will move to the north house with my pocket at night, and I am in a hurry, and I don't care about any housewarming election day."
Luo Shi packed up her clothes, moved into a new brick house overnight, and temporarily gave up the original adobe thatched house to Sanniang to live in.
Late at night, Sanniang slept first, Niu Qian squatted in the yard alone, the moonlight was clear and cold, accompanied by the cold wind, and drilled straight into the human skin and flesh.
Luo Shi got up at night in a cotton jacket, boiled a pot of hot water from the kitchen, poured a bowl of hot tea for Niu Qian, and comforted: "Sanniang still depends on you to take care of you, don't make yourself sick."
"It's useless for me to ask her to suffer like me......" Niu Qian hugged his head with a painful expression.
"I don't say anything about hypocrisy, Brother Niu, you also know, what happened in the past, don't keep it in your heart, but if you have a good life in the future, Sanniang won't blame you"
Niu Qian nodded, raised his head and said to Luo Xi: "I have thought about it, I will go into the city to find a carpenter shop to do work, make more furniture every day, and I will definitely earn money."
Luo Shi groaned, and didn't want to say anything about the silver lent to Sanniang, so she also instructed, only saying that the silver was Sanniang's own money:
"Those who eat handicraft rice are also very cautious about accepting apprentices, where are you willing to recruit a buddy, I am afraid that you will steal the master and starve to death the master! In my opinion, it is better to sell vegetarian food first, and when you have saved enough money, it makes sense to open your own carpentry shop."
"Guang Sanniang is busy working alone, but I can't watch it? I really can't do the ability to flip the spoon, it's not that I don't want to, it's that the thief is unpalatable."
He also told the truth, a pair of farming hands, if you grasp salt and vinegar, you can salty a person.
"Don't pick up the burden, it was originally to avoid Aunt Lin, and now she can't take care of it anymore when you split up, it's better to go directly to Tongzhou City to set up a stall, square tables, chairs and stools are easy to do, you can do some in a hurry"
This is not a difficult matter, Niu Qian immediately nodded in response, and regarded Luo Shi as a guide, and humbly asked:
"What else can I do, I want to help Sanniang share more burdens, so that she is not so tired"
Luo Shi thought for a while, and then said: "It's simple, you might as well open a plain noodle stall, you will be responsible for rolling the dough, blanching the dough in boiling water, no matter how much oil and salt, as well as wiping the table and setting up the stool, settling the bill, and counting the money, everything can be handled."
"Eh, okay, I made a note of it"
"My spicy dishes are also sold at your noodle stall, and only a small plate is taken at each table to greet the guests, if they eat well, you will calculate the money according to the catty, and go back to convert it with my cost price."
The tea in her hand made the wind blow cold, she said, and added some more with the kettle, thinking:
There are a lot of Tongzhou city noodle stalls, and there is no lack of old signboards that taste good and are also affordable, and the competitiveness of Sanniang is nothing more than the taste of meat made with vegetarian ingredients.
In ancient times, in addition to shouting and word of mouth, there was no way to advertise, if you want to promote Sanniang's somen stall, you always have to think of other flowers, do something.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, blowing the Dongchang paper on the pane "rattling".
Luo Shi turned her head to look at it, and suddenly had a good idea, she high-fived her fist and smiled at Niu Qian:
"Brother Niu Qian, I have an idea!"
