Chapter 4: The Controversy of Bondage

Qin Ruixue smiled on her face, but she had secretly scolded in her heart many times, this is also in this time and space, if you were arrested as human traffickers in your previous life, how could there be a reason to marry someone casually and thank you humanely.

However, at this time, there was no grain of rice at home, and she knew that it was not the time to play with her temper, so she pretended to be virtuous and gentle, and said in a low voice, "These days, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhao deliver meals to our husband and wife every day, it is really hard, the little woman is uneasy, and the injuries on her body are almost healed, so she wants to cook and wash and take care of her husband by herself.

However, I never thought that there was only half a scoop of grain left at home, and there was really no surplus food to eat. So, he stopped the clan elders rashly, and wanted to ask the clan elders to come forward and say that they would know with the villagers, and first collect some bundles, copper coins, rice grain, and eggs, and when the husband recovered, he would immediately resume classes for the students. The clan elders think so, okay? ”

Zhao Fengnian was lying on the bed, and when he heard her say this, he frowned, he originally taught the village children to repay the villagers for saving their lives, and also to find something to occupy their minds and think less about painful things. In the past two months since he started teaching, the students' families have taken turns to bring meals every day, and he has never thought of restraining himself.

At this time, hearing that this wife, who was not yet familiar, actually asked for restraint without his consent, and immediately wanted to scold, but just as he was about to speak, he was glared at by Rui Xue coldly, and he was stunned.

Yun Sanye saw that Zhao Fengnian did not open his mouth to refute, and thought that this was also what he meant, thinking that Jin Gui, a scholar in Wuguo, would pay dozens of taels of silver every year to hire a showman, and they were naturally poor in the village and could not afford to hire them, so they finally saved a literate person back, and the village children were also very dedicated, of course, they couldn't be offended for a little thing.

So his eyes rolled around a few times, and he coughed twice and said, "This is a few of our old men who are not thinking about it, in the past, there was only Mr. Zhao alone, and each family took turns to deliver food, but now that Mr. has become a family, naturally it can't be like this anymore." I'll pass the word on when I go back, and first send some food to each family according to the appearance of a hundred copper coins. ”

Zhao Fengnian woke up and wanted to stop him, but Rui Xue had already smiled and saluted to thank him, "The elders of the Xie clan are considerate, the little girl also knows a few words, has read a few books, and when her husband is unwell in the future, the little woman can also take the place for a few days, and will never delay the children's schoolwork." The so-called, the bright mountains and beautiful waters produce talents, and the aura of heaven and earth is elegant and cong. The elders in our village are kind-hearted, and the children are naturally beautiful. ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, especially these old men, who don't expect their children and grandchildren to get ahead and glorify their ancestors, so just now because of the need for restraints, the little awkwardness in my heart was appeased by Ruixue's words, and his beard was curled up with a smile, and he went out all the way.

Ruixue respectfully sent it to the gate of the courtyard, then thanked Sister-in-law Zhang, brushed the pottery bowl and sent her home, and then turned around and entered the house.

Sure enough, Zhao Fengnian was waiting for her, and when he saw her come in, his dark eyes were full of coldness and indifference, "Who told you to make your own assertions?" ”

Rui Xue originally planned to explain it well, but when she saw him like this, the smile on her face was put away, and she directly moved a chair to sit opposite him, and said lightly, "No one, I advocated it myself." ”

Zhao Fengnian saw that she looked unaware of her mistakes, and his annoyance was even deeper, "I taught the village children to repay the villagers for saving their lives, not for money." ”

Qin Ruixue carefully looked at his face that was slightly flushed with annoyance, and really wanted to knock his head open to see what structure was inside, "May I ask Mr. Zhao, what do you eat and live on weekdays?" ”

"Rice, of course."

Rui Xue sneered, "Ha, I thought that Mr. would drink some dew every morning and fill his stomach with a fresh breeze at night, so you also eat rice grain!" Then let me ask you, the kitchen is empty, not even half a scoop of bread noodles, what do you want to eat if you don't restrain it? What am I going to eat? I don't have your ability to drink dew and pour fresh air to fill my belly! ”

"You..." Zhao Fengnian was choked by her, but he couldn't refute it.

Since the day he was born, he wore silk and satin, ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and never bothered about the matter of rice and grain, even if he was displaced here after the disaster, there were also students who sent meals every day, although they were not as fine and delicious as at home, but they were never hungry, and this time he married Rui Xue, it was too sudden, and he did not have the consciousness of treating her as a wife in his heart, so he naturally considered it inappropriate.

Although he knew in his heart that he was wrong, a man who stood up to the sky and the earth was so ridiculed and reprimanded by the woman that he couldn't swallow this breath, so he scolded him sharply, "You are so bold, who taught you the rules and dared to contradict the husband like this!" ”

Rui Xue saw that his eyes were round, as if he was going to eat her alive, but he didn't mean to be afraid at all, raised his eyebrows and smiled, it was rare to play tricks once, and asked rhetorically, "As the saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat!" Since the man is denied food and clothing, I will find a way to fill my stomach by myself, is this wrong? ”

Zhao Fengnian was so angry by her tricky words that his chest hurt, and he wondered in his heart that where did the clan elders find him a shrew to come back, not only did he not have the slightest virtue of a woman, but also put on a look of starving to death with him, which deeply hit his man's self-esteem, so he pinched the corners of the quilt and said in a cold voice, "A good man to dress and eat, that's good, I will restrain myself in the future, ensure that you don't starve to death and you can't freeze you, do my duty as a husband, but if you want silk and satin, if you want good food, just figure it out yourself, Don't you have the ability, I won't stop you! ”

"Okay, that's what you said, don't say that I've lost your face as a scholar when the time comes!"

Ruixue was also aroused, her face turned red, and her eyes were full of confidence and stubbornness, as if everything was under her control.

Zhao Fengnian suddenly remembered that at the beginning, he was strict with his father and mother, brother and brother, and his wife was to be married, he was also so high-spirited, as if nothing in the world could be beyond his grasp, but unfortunately, it was all fake...

Rui Xue waited for a long time, but she didn't hear Zhao Fengnian's answer, and when she looked closely, his dark eyes seemed to be suddenly covered with a layer of pain, desolate and condensed, and his face became more and more pale, which made her can't help but shrink in her heart, and regret it a little.

No matter which time and space, which dynasty, the scholar is a little stinky tempered, she should slowly reason with him, after all, the two will have to live together together in the future, and even she has to rely on him to live in peace and avoid being sold into slavery, but she doesn't know which tendon is wrong, how can she be stubborn and ridicule fiercely?

She wanted to apologize, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't spit it out, and finally stood up and worked hard for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, I was also anxious about my livelihood in the future, so I made my own decisions, and I didn't discuss with you in advance, I was wrong, and I won't do it in the future." ”

Zhao Fengnian was still silent and didn't answer, Rui Xue was a little deflated, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and asked, "I don't know what your name is, after all, we have to live together in the future, I can't even know your name?" ”

There was another awkward silence, Zhao Fengnian still lowered her eyes, and she had no intention of answering, so she had to shrug helplessly, raise her feet and go out, but the next moment she heard the person on the bed and replied in a low voice, "Zhao Runzhi." ”

"Runzhi? Good name! You just woke up, you must be in bad spirits, so get some more sleep. I'm out doing my work. Rui Xue heard that there was no resentment in Zhao Fengnian's tone, and she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and turned around and walked out.

The yard where they live is in the easternmost part of the village, not far from the courtyard is a small hill that is not high, and some low shrubs have grown on the mountain.

In her previous life, she was also used to living a hard life, so these jobs were not difficult for her, but after all, this body was recovering from a serious illness, and her strength was still a little insufficient, and she rested twice all the way down the mountain before she got home.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard Sister-in-law Zhang's anxious voice, "Where is Mrs. Zhao, this person who has not recovered from this illness will not have anything wrong, right?" Do you want to arouse Mr. Zhao to ask? ”

It seems that there are still others who echo and say, "Laohukou Village in the south of the mountain, a few days ago was taken away by a wolf, wouldn't Zhao Niangzi also be taken away by wolves?" It stands to reason that it can't, and the wolf doesn't dare to come into the village during the day? ”

Ruixue bowed, bent her elbow to open the courtyard door, put down the firewood on her back, and took a few breaths before looking at a few women under the laurel tree, and said with a smile, "Youlao, sisters-in-law are worried, I'm fine, go to the mountain to get some firewood to make a fire." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang greeted her early, took out a cotton cloth to wipe the sweat on her face, and said, "Your body is not good yet, why did you go up the mountain by yourself, tell me, I will let my family help you cut two bundles, which is enough for you to burn for two days." ”

The two little daughters-in-law next to her also chimed in, "No, Mrs. Zhao has fine skin and tender meat, and she hasn't done rough work at first glance, and no matter how tired she is, Mr. Zhao has no one to take care of her." ”

Rui Xue didn't refute, smiled and thanked her, and Sister-in-law Zhang pointed to a small jar and a basket on the wooden board at the door of the stove and said, "We are here to send you a bundle, on that board is two catties of vegetable oil and five catties of brown rice that I brought, and some home-grown vegetables, you eat first, it's not enough to tell me, I'll go to the vegetable field to pick it for you." ”

The other two little daughters-in-law also talked about the items they sent, one is 20 catties of cereal noodles, and the other is 2 catties of fine noodles and 10 catties of cereal noodles. Of course, compared to what Sister-in-law Zhang sent, their gifts were much thinner, but Rui Xue still smiled and said that she had helped her a lot, and it didn't embarrass them at all, and the two became closer to Rui Xue.

After a few words of gossip, the two little daughters-in-law said goodbye, Sister-in-law Zhang just helped Rui Xue pour the grain noodles into the tank, and was worried that there was nowhere to put brown rice and fine noodles, so she ushered in several other families, naturally Rui Xue was indispensable for a polite look, she took out the smiling face and eyes that she had practiced when selling tofu, and coaxed all the little daughters-in-law who came to the door very happy, put down her things, and said that they would definitely come to help if there was something in the future, and then left.
