Chapter 244: Mulberry Fruit
Do you know why I made you kneel? The old man turned around and his eyes fell on Li Chunlan.
Li Chunlan lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved, and did not speak.
"You think you're wronged? When your sister's marriage was interfered with by you, how could you not feel wronged. During the Chinese New Year at your sister's house, when you mocked your sister, you didn't feel wronged. Now, you still know the grievances. ”
"Daddy! Why did I rob my sister of my marriage in the first place, don't you understand! Our family used to have an old relationship with the Zhang family, but why did I marry my sister instead of me! There is not much difference in the age of the two of us, but you have to send me to the Jiang family, who has nothing.
What else can I do but figure it out on my own! ”
"Enough!" The old man scolded, "You still don't understand!" You and your sister both have a good temper and I know their temperament. Although there is not much difference in your age, just one or two years old, are you the same as your sister?
Because your sister is the eldest daughter, she has taken care of you since she was a child, and she has a tough personality and suffers hardships. But you are the youngest child in the family, and since you were a child, you have been held in the palm of your hand by me and your mother, and your temperament is arrogant and unbearable.
The Zhang family is a merchant, and they need someone like your sister who can endure hardships and have the ability to help take care of it. If your sister got married in the past, I dare to say that the current Zhang family is definitely not like this.
The Jiang family is a family of scholars, although it is a little hard, but the two old men are sensible. Even if you get married, you won't be able to suffer much, besides, Jiang Xiu is a scholar, and he likes a girl of your temperament, as long as he is admitted to the lifting of people, your life will immediately become better.
If you two sisters marry according to my arrangement, do you still have to suffer this now!
Chunlan, do you know how badly you did that at the beginning, how badly your sister was harmed, how she survived so many years, even I didn't dare to ask. ”
"Daddy!" Li Chunlan interrupted the words of the old man of the Li family, "Is my sister miserable?" The worst thing is whether I'm okay or not, that little hoof is riding on my head, and if I hadn't managed to bring people here today, I don't know how much suffering I would have to suffer.
You know that it is not easy to talk about my sister, I see that she is wearing gold and silver now, and there is nothing difficult about it. I'm so miserable, she doesn't know how to help, she doesn't have any humanity at all......"
"Smack"
The old man slapped Li Chunlan in the face, and Li Chunlan covered her face in disbelief. She was beaten by her husband before, but now even her father is going to beat her.
Outside the door, as soon as Grandma Jiangxi walked here, she heard a loud slap and came in without thinking.
"This ...... What's going on? Child, her father, even if Lan'er does something wrong, you can't slap your face. If she goes out and lets her son-in-law see it, Lan'er will have a hard time when she returns home. ”
The old man of the Li family frowned, obviously realizing this after the fight.
However, he doesn't think he's playing wrong. This little daughter doesn't know what's wrong at all, a slap is considered light.
"You just tell her well, if she can't understand, then you don't have to go back to the Zhang family, so you don't have to lose the face of our Li family!" The old man left angrily, and in the room, Grandma Jiangxi comforted Li Chunlan, and by the way, she also asked the reason why her old man beat her daughter.
"Alas!" Grandma Jiangxi sighed, "Lan'er, you really shouldn't say that about your sister." If she is really like you said, without humanity, then why can you drive that concubine out today.
Don't tell your mother, it's relying on the power of our Li family, and you also know that our Li family is just ordinary people in the mountains. Today, it is completely your sister who is supporting you, and Zhang Yongcai is afraid of the power of your sister's family.
In the future, you will not say any more of these words. Have a good relationship with your sister, we have forgotten the previous things, and with your sister in one day, the Zhang family will not dare to be disrespectful to you, you know. ”
"Mother, why do you even say that!"
Grandma Jiangxi's face sank.
"It's not that I say it, but that's what it is. Lan'er, you have always been a smart child, you won't be unable to understand this, don't get into the horns.
Also, the child problem that my son-in-law said just now, you are too ignorant! The child is only a few months old, and when the time comes, our family will pay for you to invite a nurse to come over, and you will take good care of him by your side.
In the future, as long as no one goes to him and talks nonsense, the child will recognize you as a mother.
You don't have a son, and unlike your sister, you have such a caring daughter as Xi'er, and a reliable godson like Qin Hao. You are in the Zhang family, you must have a son by your side, otherwise, in the future, when you are old and your daughter is married again, how can you gain a foothold in the Zhang family. ”
"But that's the son of that slut!"
"Mother said, no one is talking nonsense, that is your son. As long as you treat him well, even if he knows this in the future, he will still be grateful for your nurturing grace. ”
Grandma Jiangxi sighed again: "You kneel here and think about it, when you think clearly, you will come out when you come." That's all my mother can teach you. ”
Until lunch, Jiangxi did not see Li Chunlan. She knew that Li Chunlan must be being punished, in addition to the punishment given to her by the Li family, there was also a part of it to punish her on behalf of the Li family.
After all, even if the Li family had already let go of that incident, Li Chunlan's mistakes always had to pay a little price.
As for Zhang Yongcai, he seems to be very obedient, and he has always flattered them, and he didn't dare to ask about Li Chunlan and Hua Niang.
When it was time to leave in the evening, Li Chunlan finally came out, and she was still being supported, her legs were so stiff that she couldn't stand steadily, and Hua Niang was also put out, with a rag stuffed in her mouth, and she kept whining.
Before leaving, Zhang Yongcai suddenly came to Jiangxi's side. At first, he flattered them, and then he said that he wanted to visit them in a few days.
Jiang Xi wanted to refuse, but in the end, it was a family, and she also wanted to know if Zhang Yongcai would sell the flower girl as soon as she went back, so she nodded and agreed.
Zhang Yongcai was still a little puzzled, how to open his mouth was Jiang Xi instead of Li.
After thinking about it, I felt that it must be understandable that Li disdained to talk to people like him. So, with this conjecture, he took the two people in the house home.
It's just that compared to the mood when he came, Jiang Xi thought that the way back should be very interesting.
Jiang Xi and the Li family did not leave, but planned to stay here for two or three days. In the summer, especially at night, the mountains become very cool. In particular, the water in this mountain spring is refreshing to drink, and it is much better than the well water of Jiangxi's house.
Jiang Xi came hard, so Li Xuemei planned to take her to play everywhere in the mountains.
In the evening, the two began to plan.
"The mulberry fruit in the mountain is ripe during this time, so let's go up the mountain tomorrow to have a look. By the way, let's see if there are any hares, my brother is very good at catching hares. If you can catch it, I'll make you hare meat to eat. My mother and I learned it, and it was always delicious! ”
"Okay!" Hearing the hare, Jiang Xi came to the spirit. To be honest, she had never seen a living hare, either in the previous life or in this life.
Early the next morning, the river got up early. After breakfast, Li Xuemei and Jiangxi's eldest cousin took Jiangxi up the mountain, and as for the second cousin, because his uncle Li Chuncheng went to the fruit forest, he had to take care of the family's affairs.
Li followed his two sisters-in-law and talked beside Grandma Jiangxi.
The mountains on the Li family's side are not the small hills that the Jiangxi family used to have, but are patchy, and the mountains are full of fruit forests, with the most peach trees and mulberry trees. This time is the day when the mulberry fruit is fully ripe. Some early peaches are also old, and in more than half a month, they will be able to eat.
Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei, on the way up the mountain, picked a lot of mulberry fruits, and ate them one by one with purple corners of their mouths and smiles on their faces.
"Ah, it's so full, I don't feel like I need to eat anything else." Jiangxi touched his stomach, thinking that after eating so many mulberry fruits, he wouldn't have diarrhea when he went back at night.
"Hee-hee!" Li Xuemei laughed, "My brother and I have to eat so much every day, Jiangxi, you are simply too weak." ”
"I can't compare to you, you've been eating since you were a child. By the way, why don't you pick these mulberry fruits and sell them in the market? ”
After asking this sentence, Jiang Xi obviously felt that the atmosphere had become solemn.
After a long time, Li Xuemei sighed and said: "We are here, every family is raising silkworms, and there are naturally more mulberry trees." In addition, mulberry fruits bear a lot, so at this time of year, there are so many mulberry fruits that they can't be sold at all.
Most of the people in the city don't like the wild fruits in the countryside like us, and they feel that they are cheap to eat. But if the price is lowered and sold to ordinary people, then we will not be able to meet the labor cost of picking fruits.
Over time, everyone just picked and ate it by themselves, and no one wanted to go out and sell it. Therefore, if you don't eat it, it will rot on the tree. ”
Li Xuemei's words were so helpless that even her brother who was walking in front sighed slightly.
Jiang Xi's eyes moved, so many mulberry fruits were wasted like this. You know, in her time, mulberry fruit was very expensive, and it was not necessarily possible to buy fresh ones.
Li Xuemei has been observing Jiangxi, and when she saw her eyes moving, she immediately said excitedly: "Jiangxi, have you come up with any ideas again, can this mulberry fruit also be made into canned food to sell?" ”
Can? Jiang Xi shook his head.
"No, canned food is not easy to make."
"Oh." Li Xuemei's eyes became dark, and even her brother in front of her shook his head, knowing that she shouldn't hold out hope.
"But you can't make canned food, we can try to make something else." Jiang Xi's next sentence rekindled the hope of the two.
"What to do!"
"This," Jiang Xi's eyes blinked, "let's sell it first." ”
