Chapter 189: Bullying Again
People's thoughts are beyond their control, no matter how the mother and daughter of the Chen family talk about their own affairs to persuade them, the man will not let go or leave.
In the end, the three of them still didn't ask for the man's pot, and Zhang Jing also left him a fish, whether he was dead or alive in doing so, she would not have any obstacles in her heart in the future.
If you can't look at people who want to die, it's useless for you to take the elixir for him, and those who want to live can live well as long as they have a breath.
On the way, Zhang Jing asked in order to break the silence brought by that family.
"Auntie, you have people you know in Anxian County" Otherwise, how could she think of going to Anxian County, but she only went because she knew that there was no war there.
"Yes, there is a relative there, who is Shuyun's cousin. ”
I don't know if they can still recognize their mother and daughter when they go this time, and the head of the family is gone
"Is it in Ben'an County?"
"No, we will have to walk for a few more days when we get to Anxian, but as long as we get to Anxian, we don't have to walk. ”
"How to get there"
Zhang Jing still can't figure it out.
"Take the carriage, hehe. ”
The Chen family and Chen Shuyun couldn't help but smile when they saw Zhang Jing's little confused face.
"Ah, oh, it turns out that you still have money, auntie, hehe"
Yes, she is really stupid, a family like them must be a landlord and a rich businessman, how can she have no money. Only a beggar like her is penniless.
They walked for two days before they saw a village, and when they saw that it was still inhabited, the three of them entered the village with joy.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Jing hid the gun so as not to cause trouble.
They knocked on the door of the first house at the entrance of the village.
"Knock knock knock anyone"
"Who's coming?"
Li Cuihua is preparing dinner and putting it on the table with the children to prepare for dinner, who will come to her house after this meeting
As soon as the people inside opened the door, there were three people standing at the door, and they didn't know each other. The eldest woman was about forty years old, and there was a teenage girl and a teenage child.
She was carrying a burden on her back, and she guessed that she had probably fled as well. In the past six months, there are often such people who pass by their village to spend the night begging for food.
"Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Jing saw that the door was opened by a woman in her thirties wearing a rag apron, with a classic woman's head crossed, and as soon as she heard the voice, she knew that she was from Huizhou.
"Big sister, we are passing by here, you see it's going to be dark this day, can you make it convenient for us to stay overnight?"
As the head of the Chen family, he stood in front of the two children and took the initiative to speak.
"This" she was also very embarrassed, there was no man in the family, just her and two children, and there was not much leftovers. If it weren't for the sake of the same woman, if there was a man, she would have to close the door as soon as she opened the door in the morning.
"We can give some money. ”
Saying that, the Chen family took out a pair of silver earrings and spread them out in the palm of his hand for Li Cuihua to see.
Li Cuihua originally thought that she was holding paper money or copper coins, but she was about to say that these are worthless now, and a sack of money can't buy a bag of rice, but it turned out to be silver earrings.
This daughter-in-law and daughter can use it, and after weighing it, I didn't suffer a loss or make money with this pair of earrings, so I agreed. But there are some things that still need to be made clear.
"This sister-in-law, what our family eats is gruel and pickles, you see that you are used to eating now, the men who made this war have all gone to join the army, and all the women left in the village are women with children.
This main labor force is gone, and we don't eat and drink as well as before. ”
This Li Cuihua also complained of bitterness.
"Wherever the eldest sister says, we are all countrymen, accustomed to eating, accustomed to eating.
Joining the army is also to protect the family and the country, which is a good thing to honor the ancestors. ”
The Chen family said on their lips, but they sighed in their hearts that there was no man in this family who could do anything.
Li Cuihua stepped out of the way and let the three of them into the courtyard.
"Xiaohong, go to the stove room and bring three pairs of bowls and chopsticks, there are guests coming" asked the eldest girl to buy dishes and chopsticks.
"Sister-in-law, don't be polite, you sit, I'm a rough person, just call me Cuihua. ”
Zhang Jing almost exported sauerkraut on the emerald flowers
"My husband's surname is Chen, so I'll call you Sister Cuihua. ”
At this time, people are still relatively conservative, and women often introduce themselves with their husband's surname after marriage, and their mother's family is an outsider.
After eating, the Chen family brought Li Cuihua again.
"Cuihua girl, we still have to go to Anxian County. That's still two or three days away. Cuihua girl to see if you can help me buy some dry food in the village and take it to eat on the way."
"Then I'll ask you at each house tomorrow, you also know that the copper coins are too worthless now, it's best if you have something that you can exchange, and it's more convenient to exchange it with them." ”
Li Cuihua almost said directly, there is still silver.
"Yes, yes, there is still this ring left, you also know that we who have fled can have these left, it is the limit, not for the sake of life, which is willing to change that originally these are the dowries of the daughters who will go out in the future, but now alas"
In extraordinary times, wealth cannot be exposed, and the Chen family only said that there was one last ring left.
There was a very reluctant expression of pain on his face.
Zhang Jing's eyes widened, she saw that Chen Shuyun's expression was very normal and not a little surprised, if it wasn't for the fact that they had said that they were going to buy a carriage before, she would have believed that this statement was true. This acting is very good
"By the way, it's best to be able to make a tile and boil water. Zhang Jing added.
"Yes, this is the most needed, and we will be able to cook some porridge ourselves. The Chen family glanced at Zhang Jing appreciatively, she almost forgot about this stubble.
Before dawn the next day, Li Cuihua got up to change the dry food for them, and when she came back, she basically held raw materials in her hands, most of them were gray and gray stem rice and cornmeal, and a little gray noodles.
"I think it's easy to spoil if it's all done well, it's not delicious to eat, you can cook some of these when you want to eat, and it's not better to eat hot than anything ready-made."
The Chen family's rice and noodles are enough for them to eat in the sky, and the most important thing is that there is some salt in it, and they are happy in their hearts.
"Okay, okay, it's really annoying Cuihua girl. ”
"Look at what my sister-in-law said, I also took your money. ”
Li Cuihua baked a few mixed breads for them to put on them as they left, and stood at the entrance of the village to watch the back of the three of them leaving the village.
When he got home, he closed the door, bolted it, ran to the back room, took out the silver ring and a pair of earrings in his arms, took out a handkerchief, carefully wrapped it, hid it under the box, and locked it.
After that, it was her daughter's dowry, and it was not more decent to bring it to her in-law's house than anything else
And the dry food, rice and noodles she gave to Zhang Jing and the three of them were exchanged for the surplus things in her own home, so that she could leave the ring.
So as they left, they baked a few more cakes for them.
Don't be dead too, or die or not live.
Zhang Jing immediately raised her little face and said with a look of humiliation: "Of course, I have arrested these now."
If you don't believe it, then I'll show it to you tomorrow, and if it's not good, you don't want it."
The porter saw that Zhang Jing was angry with his distrust, and hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Okay, if the fish you bring tomorrow is fresh, I will definitely give you more money."
Zhang Jing saw that her goal was achieved, so she accepted it when she saw it, and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Then I didn't bring a scale with this shrimp, uncle, see if you can get a scale yourself."
The porter saw that Zhang Jing was still a child, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you wait here." ”
He turned and went to get the scales.
He was originally a distant relative of the Zhou landlord, because the family was not happy, and he was the only one left in the family, so he ran over to join the Zhou landlord, a relative who chose a house.
The landlord Zhou's family happened to lack a cook, so he left him and asked him to cook for the family, and by the way, he used it as a porter.
He saw that the momentum was not very good recently, and he was afraid that the landlord of Zhou would resign him, so he was still dutiful every day.
When he encountered such a green shrimp sold by Bai Qinghe, not to mention how happy he was, I was afraid that Bai Qinghe would not want to buy him.
I didn't drag the mud and water to find the scale.
And the Chen family has been watching from the side, Jing Yatou and this person have done the business by themselves, and the heart says that this child is really a capable person, and she may not be able to do so well in this matter, and this will even lead to tomorrow's business.
Zhang Jing found that the Chen family was still here, so she said, "Auntie, you can go in." I'll be fine when you come out, and we'll be able to go home." ”
The Chen family has also been here, and they don't want anyone to lead the way, so they go in by themselves.
After the porter found the scale, he weighed the shrimp for more than two catties, and Zhang Jing said: "Even if it is two catties, the fraction should be used as a match for the uncle." ”
The porter saw that she was a little person who was quite good at business, and she was also very happy to give two big bucks, but in fact, the price was very high.
He saw what Zhang Jing meant and said: "Rare things are expensive, I don't want anything else, just want you to have good things and find the Zhou family to sell them." ”
In fact, if there is a sale on the street now, such prawns may cost two yuan per catty.
Zhang Jing also knows, but everyone is looking for a long-term business, in short, the cooperation between the two is quite pleasant.
The Chen family happened to have sixty yuan in their hands and came out with a happy face.
When Mrs. Zhou received the goods, she looked at one of the Chen family and asked, "Why didn't your daughter come this time?" ”
The Chen family only thought that people were just polite, so they replied with a smile, "She has other things to do at home, I'll just come." ”
I still thought in my heart that this time it was more humane than the last time I saw it, and I left her here to eat, but she politely refused.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and let her come out.
The Chen family was also very happy when they heard that Zhang Jing's two catties of shrimp were sold for two yuan, and the price was already quite good.
The two spent two more oceans and bought more vegetables and meat before returning home.
Originally, these two pieces of ocean Zhang Jing were to be given by her two pieces of ocean, but the Chen family resolutely did not allow it, saying that they let her save it by herself.
When Zhang Jing and the others arrived at home, it was already past lunchtime. Chen Shuyun kept his lunch hot in the pot and dug the ground in the back by himself.
Zhang Jing and the Chen family saw that she was not there, and after looking around, they found that they were digging the ground in the back, and Yang Jie was also helping to dig together.
Although Yang Jie is a boy, he is always more energetic and powerful than a woman, and he dug a quarter of it in one afternoon alone.
When it was time for dinner, the Chen family and Chen Shuyun of course strongly invited Yang Jie to eat at their house.
Yang Jie already had a heart, so he naturally agreed.
Wang is in a very bad mood these days, and the bad reason is, of course, his precious son.
I don't do my own work, and I go every day to help others dig the ground for a few days.
She had heard Yu Dazui say that after Zhang Jing caught the fish, she gave Dongzi Niang a boss, but she didn't give it to herself.
Anyway, the three of them ate and lived at their own house for several days, and they didn't think about giving the fish to her home, so they really didn't have any affection
Because this matter is already very important to them, and now that his son still goes to work for them every day, he is even more unhappy.
Her son comes back every day with a spring heart, as a mother, how can she not know her son's thoughts, she hates itchy.
However, she didn't rush to ask her son, in order to confirm that she secretly followed her son to observe.
Does this son like that little beggar who has not yet grown like bean sprouts, or Chen Shuyun.
turned out that her son liked the big one, although the old saying is good, the female junior holds the gold brick, but she doesn't like the two daughters of the Chen family.
Having lived at home for a few days before, she saw the difference between the men from the family and her cousin.
Moreover, I also heard the words of my own man who let his cousin-in-law live in his own house and take care of their mother and daughter in the future.
At that time, I couldn't bear it, but if my son married her daughter, wouldn't it be more excuse to live in my own house in the future
How can this work
It turned out that she had heard Yang Yongqing's words to the Chen family a long time ago, and she had not revealed them until now, not to mention the depth of the Wang family's city.
Now that her son has taken a fancy to her family's little one, how can she not hate it
I thought in my heart that even if I married the one who asked for food, I couldn't take Chen Shuyun.
can see that his son is tired and sleeps in bed every day when he arrives home, and he is still happy to help every day, if Chen Shuyun really marries into her family, there is a mother and daughter, and the Yang family will still have her status in the future
She remembered what her man had said, and let her help Chen Shuyun look at her in-laws. It seems that this matter should be sooner rather than later
In the past few days, she has been thinking about who to find, it is better to marry far away, but she has never been far away, how can she know any distant people
But she was lucky, and when she fell asleep, someone brought her a pillow.
Chen Shuyun and Zhang Jing went out to dig wild vegetables, although they had that little land, they could grow some vegetables for their own food, but this land was only dug up.
They also have to prepare for winter, try to dig up more wild vegetables and dry them into dried vegetables for winter and eat.
At this time, there are no greenhouse vegetables, either home-grown greens or wild vegetables.
Originally, the Chen family also had to follow the two younger ones together, and the two younger ones let her rest at home and not let her go, after all, she was old.
The three of them eat, and it is enough for them to dig some every day.
And Wang Shi saw that they were no longer at home, and they didn't brush their rice bowls just after eating, so they came over to tell the Chen family about it.
The Chen family was a little surprised when they saw this master who came to the door for nothing.
But for her son's sake, she politely invited him into the house and poured her a glass of sugar water.
Wang sweetly drank a few large sips of sugar water, and the bowl bottomed out.
