Chapter 41: Enlightenment

When Mingyue saw the seven or eight-year-old daughter of the Liu family, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and a cowering appearance, she couldn't help frowning.

She seems to remember that this is Liu Fu's only daughter, right? The Liu family's condition should be wrong, how can they feel that this girl is even more depressed than their original self?

Mingyue observed and came to a conclusion that this Liu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, and the sister-in-law Mingmei insists on marrying into this Liu family, and she doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

After dinner, Mingyue followed the fourth uncle and others back in the dark overnight, there was an ox cart, and there was no wedding team, so it was much faster than when she came.

The brothers of the Zhao family asked Mingyue and the three of them to go to Zhao's house for one night first, and then return tomorrow, but they were rejected by Ming Wenli, and they went over, and the Zhao family couldn't live at all, so Mingyue and the others went back to the cave in Daliangshan directly.

This back and forth on Daliang Mountain, walking a lot, has never encountered any danger, and everyone is not so afraid.

When I went back, I found that everyone, including my grandmother, had returned.

The entrance to the cave had been sealed with wood, and there was a place for a door, which had not yet been made, but a fire was burning at the door, and all the people had not yet rested, and they sat around the fire and talked.

Seeing the three of them coming back, Mrs. Ming frowned and said, "Why did you come back so late and didn't leave you for a night?" ”

After all, Ming Wenli had read the books for so many years, and he had read them thoroughly, so he sighed in his heart and responded, "I stayed, but many of us and the ox cart rented by Dalu Village were going to come back, so I came back by the way." ”

Mrs. Ming nodded, she had always felt sorry for Ming Wenli, and hurriedly said to Ming Wenli, "Have you eaten?" Hungry or not? ”

Ming Wenli shook his head, "We only came back after eating." ”

The old man Ming on the side said, "Now that we are all back, let's all pack up and rest early, and get up early tomorrow to clean up the yard and dig traps." ”

After the old man Ming spoke, everyone dispersed, and the men and women went back to the house to rest in the big bunk, and Mingyue cleaned up and entered the house.

The milk was still muttering about the sadness of life, and she still had to live in this cave at a young age, Mingyue rubbed her ears, returned to her place and lay down, secretly pulled some broken cotton to block her ears, and closed her eyes.

Early the next morning, Mingyue still got up early, washed up, and the rest of the family also got up one after another, working and cooking, and a few children were boxing in the open space outside, Mingyue guided them for a while, and then called the fourth uncle to go into the mountain with the eldest brother.

Seeing that Ming Wenli also entered the mountains, Mrs. Ming said uneasily, "Nothing will happen to this, right?" ”

Boss Ming on the side really couldn't stand Mrs. Ming's chatter, and he always said, "Nothing will happen, right?" Then he said impatiently, "Mother, can you stop talking nonsense, they have been in the mountains in the past few mornings, and nothing has happened." ”

Mrs. Ming glared at Boss Ming dissatisfiedly and scolded, "What's the matter, I'm worried that I'm wrong?" Isn't your daughter-in-law going to come back? You go and tell her that if you don't plan to come back, you won't even go back to our Ming house. ”

Mrs. Ming didn't know that the Liu family had already taken the money that the Ming family sold poultry and separated from Boss Ming.

Boss Ming lowered his head in annoyance, was silent for a while, and finally didn't hide it from Mrs. Ming, and said, "I have already reconciled with her." ”

"What do you say? And gone? Mrs. Ming's shrill voice alarmed everyone in the Ming family who was busy in their respective fields, and everyone else knew about it, but Old Man Ming and Old Lady Ming didn't know.

When Old Man Ming heard Boss Ming's words, he also frowned and came over to look at Boss Ming, "Is it really reconciled?" How did you get so confused? Are you still divorced at this age? With our family's conditions, I don't have the money to marry you again. ”

Boss Ming's face flushed with shame when Old Man Ming said, and said in a low voice, "Dad, what are you talking nonsense, I have two sons, and what daughter-in-law do you say, she doesn't want to live in our Ming family, it's better to leave." ”

Mrs. Ming scolded angrily, "What is she?" Still don't want to live in the Ming family? Boss, you are not blinded by lard, you still reconcile with her, and you are the mourning star. ”

Mrs. Ming couldn't help frowning, and said, "Mother, after all, he is Mingyao and Minghui." ”

Mrs. Ming snorted coldly, seeing that she was about to continue to attack, the Liu family on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "You have to be quiet, this is on Daliang Mountain, don't alarm the beast when the movement is too big." ”

Liu's words, the frightened Mrs. Ming instantly closed her mouth, but her mouth was still carefully muttering and scolding, Ming Boss was already upset, and listening to his mother's chatter was even more irritable, Ming Laosan went over and patted the eldest brother's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go outside to dig traps." ”

Mingyue looked at the large and small trophies in the hands of the fourth uncle and the eldest brother, and was quite satisfied with today's harvest, hunting a muntjac, seven or eight rabbits and pheasants, and six newborn rabbits and a female rabbit in her pocket.

is also lucky, I met a female rabbit just in production, and she was given a nest by Mingyue, she planned to take it back and let a few children in the family raise it.

Ming Yao looked at Mingyue carefully carrying the nest of rabbits, and asked Ming Wenli, "Fourth uncle, do you say this can be fed?" ”

Ming Wenli shook his head helplessly, "I don't know either." "He hasn't ever had rabbits, he hasn't read any of these books, and he doesn't know if he can feed them.

Mingyue answered, and said as a matter of course, "Of course we can feed it, as long as the female rabbit is safe, as long as the female rabbit is full and fattened, we don't have to worry about feeding this litter." ”

Mingyao thought for a moment and responded, "It's the same." ”

The three of them went back to the cave very happily, Ming Lao Da and Ming Lao San were cleaning up the weeds and trees around the cave, preparing to circle the yard, seeing the big and small prey in the hands of the three people, they were also very happy and said, "Today's harvest is good, hit the muntjac?" ”

Ming Laosan answered, "Take me to the mountains to see if you can hunt a few prey." ”

Ming Wenli said, "Then third brother, you have to practice that archery technique well, these prey are all shot by the moon girl, and Mingyao's accuracy and I are not enough." ”

Boss Ming answered, "The moon girl is really getting more and more capable, if anyone can marry you in the future, it will be a blessing." But Boss Ming seemed to suddenly think of something, closed his mouth, lowered his head and began to work, and Ming Laosan stopped talking.

Mingyue was a little inexplicable, and followed Ming Wenli to the door of the cave, and when she arrived at the door, she heard her mother call herself, "Yue'er, you come in with me." ”

Mingyue carefully handed over the female rabbit and a litter of rabbits to the excited Minghui Mingkang Mingyang, and told them to circle a nest for the rabbits, raise them well, wash their hands, and then enter the inner room where they slept.

"What's the matter? Mother. Mingyue walked over to Datong Shop Lady and sat down and asked.

Xu Jinniang's eyes were red anxiously, and she said, "Your grandmother took your birthday and went down the mountain to Dalu Village, saying that she was going to take it to you and the Li family's kid and the birthday eight characters, what can I do." I told your fourth uncle yesterday, and your fourth uncle didn't persuade your grandmother even if he didn't persuade him. ”

Mingyue's eyes rolled, but she didn't expect this grandmother's movements to be quite fast, she thought about it in her heart, and finally found a set of words to appease the worried mother.

"Mother, do you think I can find a better family than the Li family?" Mingyue asked.

In Xu Jinniang's eyes, her children are now her pride, and she said as a matter of course, "Of course, my daughter is so good, she will definitely be able to find a good family in the future." ”

Mingyue shook her head at Xu Jinniang and said, "Mother, it's impossible, look at the current situation, who else wants to deal with our Ming family?" Not to mention coming to our house to propose. ”

Xu Jinniang said, "Didn't your sister-in-law also marry into the county?" ”

Mingyue shook her head, lowered her voice and said, "Mother, I went to Liu's house yesterday, when the sedan chair was close to Liu's house, I found that the people around me were pointing fingers, this Liu family will marry a sister-in-law, I am afraid that there is something hidden, this sister-in-law went to Liu's house, and I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future." ”

Xu Jinniang said in surprise, "What's the secret?" ”

Mingyue said, "I didn't have time to inquire, but I'm afraid it won't be a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have married my sister-in-law back in such a hurry." ”

Mingyue continued to turn the topic to herself, "Mother, I've thought about it carefully, I've seen Li Yun of the Li family, it's very good, and the grandmother of the Li family likes me even more, although Li Yun is a paralyzed person, but now that Uncle Zhang is my godfather, he will definitely do his best to treat him, maybe he will be cured one day, thinking about it like this, I think the Li family is very good." ”

Xu Jinniang listened to Mingyue's words, fell into deep thought, and felt a little entangled in her heart, Mingyue continued, "Even if we find a way to ruin this marriage, I have reached this age, and grandma will definitely find me another one, who knows what it will be like?" Mother, you also hope that I will have a good life in the future, right? The conditions of the Li family are good, and they are even better for me, why don't we agree!"

After listening to Mingyue's words, Xu Jinniang was finally a little moved by what Mingyue said, but remembering that Li Yun was a paralyzed person, she was still very uncomfortable, and sighed, "Let's go out to eat first." ”

The Liu family had already cooked the meal, and had already called everyone in the family to sit at the table, originally planning to call Mingyue mother and son, but when they walked to the door and heard Mingyue and Xu Jinniang talking, they didn't bother, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they beckoned the two of them to the table to eat.

Since there is no Liu family at home every day, and there is no noise of Mrs. Ming, the sister-in-law who is mean and picky from time to time to find fault has also married, Mingyue feels that this Ming family is actually not wrong, the family is harmonious, even if the life is harder, it is quite satisfying.
