Chapter 7: The Daughter-in-law of the Sea, Town
The mountain road is not easy to walk, Shu Qingai walks very slowly, she is very skeptical, in the rainy season, walking such a mountain road down the mountain, will she go all the way like sliding down a slide, it must feel very sour.
At the foot of the mountain, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, slightly thin, dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, with a smiling face and a bamboo basket on her back, was waiting on a path not far away, looking at Shu Qing's direction and waving her hand.
Seeing Li Mochen and Shu Qingai walking towards her, she smiled more deeply and greeted her.
"Oh, this is our Ah Cheng brother's new daughter-in-law? She looks really delicate and lovely, a standard beauty! Look at this pear vortex, it's really gratifying to laugh! ”
Ah, she has a pear vortex? She's handsome?
Hehe, Shu Qingai said that she has been wearing it for three days, and she still doesn't know what she looks like! But when I heard the woman boasting about herself like this, I didn't look bad! That's good, that's good!
It's just that the next woman's words, Shu Qingai listened to it, and felt awkward in her heart.
"It's just that this body is too thin, look at our Acheng brothers, they are tall and big, I don't know if you can bear it?"
Shu Qingai and his family silently said in their hearts, this woman is really open to talking! couldn't help but make a big red face between the two of them, but it's okay to be away from Mochen, they have a big beard, even if they blush, others can't see it, but they pity Shu Qingai, that little face with yellow muscles and thin skin instantly turned red!
She could only smile sarcastically: "Sister-in-law really loves to laugh, my name is Shu Qingai." ”
"Oops! This name is really good, so I will call you Aiai in the future? ”
When the words fell, the woman suddenly felt a little pinched, waved her hand and said: "Forget it, let's call you Sister Shu, that love is really a little unspeakable, presumably Brother Ah Chen is called you like that, look at me too, how can I rob Brother Ah Chen." ”
The two people next to him said that this woman was really straightforward and had no scruples.
"Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, call me Sister Shu, I feel close to my sister-in-law."
Sycophants!
A man thought silently in his heart.
"Oh, then let's go quickly, the ox cart in the next village will be missed later, and it will take an hour to walk on our two legs."
After the words fell, she stretched out her hand and took up one of Shu Qingai's small hands, and smiled at Li Mochen on the side: "Brother Acheng, you can rest assured, your brother Dahai has told me, I will take good care of my daughter-in-law for you, and promise to bring you back a hair."
Facing the daughter-in-law of the sea who laughed so much, Li Mochen still replied coldly: "Then please sister-in-law." ”
Shu Qingai walked with the sea daughter-in-law, and after walking more than ten meters, she looked back, and found that Mo Chen was still standing at a distance looking at her, and she couldn't help but quickly turn her head back, and she didn't know what she felt on her face and heart now.
This man must not be worried that he is standing there, he must be afraid that he will run away with his money and not go back, so he asked this sea daughter-in-law to take care of her all the way!
It must be so, otherwise how could that cold-faced man be so kind.
However, Shu Qingai's careful thoughts were quickly left behind by her, and the daughter-in-law of the sea took her to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, where many people had gathered at this time, and almost everyone was carrying a basket on their backs, and they wanted to wait for the ox cart from the next village to go to the town together.
Some villagers also walked past them directly with backpacks on their backs, thinking that those were the names of the villages that were unwilling to spend the money on the car, and planned to walk to the town.
"Qiu, is this a distant relative of your family? Why haven't you seen it? looks really good. ”
A woman in her thirties saw the daughter-in-law of the sea walking over with Shu Qingai, and the voice came from afar, Shu Qingai said that this countryman is really enthusiastic.
From this, she also knew that the daughter-in-law of the sea was surnamed Qiu, and the peers or elders in the village called her like this.
"Where is this distant relative? Isn't this the new daughter-in-law of the Ah Cheng brothers? Isn't it the first time you've been to our village since yesterday to marry into our village? That's what I'm going to do with her. ”
When the woman heard this, a raging fire of gossip burned on her face.
"Oops! It's a bearded, oh, not the daughter-in-law of the Acheng brothers, look at my memory, I heard the beating of gongs and drums the day before yesterday, but unfortunately the Acheng brothers didn't walk around with us, and we were embarrassed to be cheeky to ask for a cup of happy wine. ”
From this woman's mouth, Shu Qingai heard some information.
However, she still smiled politely at the women, and the daughter-in-law of the sea introduced her in turn.
"Her name is Shu Qingai, I call her Sister Shu, in the future, this Acheng brother has a daughter-in-law, there must be something in the village, everyone has to take care of it?"
"That's, that's, it's all from the same village, of course."
A few people echoed the words of the daughter-in-law of the sea and said, but after a few people chatted a few words, from a distance, Shu Qingai heard the sound of a jingle bell, and when she heard the sound, she saw an old man, waving a whip and driving an ox cart swaying over.
There were already three people in the cart, and there were five of them here, except for Shu Qingai, everyone was carried by this basket, so as soon as they got on the open-top ox cart, the originally wide ox cart became crowded.
Along the way, the ox cart swayed, and when I was in the next village, two people came up, and the carriage, which was not spacious, was even more crowded.
"Hey, isn't this Shu Qingai, the eldest daughter of the Liu family?"
Hearing someone call out his name, Shu Qingai looked over.
A mean face, a woman of about thirty-four or five years old, dressed brightly and pinkly than all the people in their ox cart. In this narrow carriage, it is particularly eye-catching.
After searching in my memory, I realized why women knew themselves.
It turned out to be a person from the original owner's mother's village, a widow, with a sixteen-year-old son, this person's surname is Ge, everyone calls her Ge Widow behind her back, and in front of her, people who can't wipe their faces call her Ge. This person usually likes to talk about right and wrong in the village, although the original owner is usually timid and afraid, and he has always been a non-talkative person in the village, but he also knows that this woman's reputation in the village is not good.
But even so, they all met, Shu Qingai still smiled at her politely: "It's Aunt Ge, it's a coincidence." ”
Widow Ge smiled faintly, and looked Shu Qingai up and down again, seeing that she was still in the tattered clothes she was wearing before she got married, but although her expression converged quickly, she was still seen by the sharp-eyed Shu Qingai with a touch of disdain in her eyes.
"Yes, yes! You got married the day before yesterday, why are you still dressed in tatters? I heard that he married well, he was a hunter in Xinghua Village, and he had no in-laws to serve him, and he didn't have an aunt and sister-in-law relationship to deal with, so his life must have been much better than before in his mother's house, right? ”
What does this woman mean? She Shu Qing loves to provoke her, she said this in front of so many people, didn't she just want everyone to know that the life she lived before was worse than now?
After all, Mo Chen's reputation is also well-known in the village, which cowardly people can't hide far away when they see it, she just wants to tell everyone that she just came out of the wolf's den and jumped into the fire pit again!
Shu Qingai was right, as soon as this widow Ge said this, everyone except for the daughter-in-law of the sea looked at her with sympathy and complicated eyes. Just look at her like a zoo monkey!
Shu Qingai's face, which was still smiling, also praised it at this time.
For someone like Widow Ge, you just can't give her a little color.
"Aunt Ge, is this happy for me? But what my aunt said is really true, my husband is still good, young and strong, can hunt, and only needs to support me alone, this future life must not be bad, is there still a few clothes and money? It's just that you, aunt, I heard that you have been widowed for your uncle for almost a year, and I saw the matchmaker come to your house several times a few days ago, why don't you find one? How bitter it is to be alone. ”
As soon as Shu Qingai's words came out, the people on the ox cart all looked at Widow Ge in unison, and their eyes were as naked as they were.
"Oh, it turns out that the eldest sister is a new widow? Look at this bright pink, this is really not visible! ”
Qiu, the daughter-in-law of the sea, looked surprised, pretending to be real, and immediately said what everyone thought in their hearts, and some of them were not afraid of things, and they also laughed blatantly.
Seeing this, Widow Ge glared angrily at her daughter-in-law, and then at Shu Qingai.
I didn't expect this girl to be married for only two days, and this mouth has become so neat!
What else does she not understand, what Shu Qingai said just now clearly wanted everyone to laugh at her for not abiding by women's morals! However, she didn't care, snorted coldly, and turned her head directly to stop saying a word to them.
Seeing this, the other women on the ox cart didn't talk to her, but pulled Shu Qingai to talk enthusiastically about Zhang's family, Li Jiaxiao, Shu Qingai is a new daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know much about Xinghua Village, so she just listens and doesn't speak, but she listens to it very lively.
When they arrived at Zhenshan, after a few people said goodbye, Dahai's daughter-in-law took Shu Qingai's little hand all the way and walked to an embroidery building in the town.
"Sister Shu said when I went home yesterday, Brother Acheng asked me to accompany you to the embroidery building to buy some fabrics to make two clothes, and I also have to hand over some embroidery work, let's do this thing first, and go shopping in the place where it starts."
Shu Qingai originally planned to buy some food today, after all, the man in the family had lost so much blood yesterday, and he couldn't make up for it with just a few eggs.
