Chapter 224: Exposed
The first month passed in the blink of an eye, and as soon as the second day of the second lunar month passed, the weather gradually warmed, the snow and ice melted, and everything was water, and the village was all loess roads, and it was muddy all of a sudden.
The wheat on the two acres of Xu Miao's house has survived the winter, and it is a little green at this time. When the villagers walked through the fields, they saw Xu Miao's land and kept gesturing. When people planted it at the beginning, everyone was holding a wait-and-see attitude, but now it was really planted, and it seems that this Liaodong Mansion is not impossible to plant.
Xu Miao has been busy in recent days, first Xu Ying gave birth to a girl on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month. Originally, when she planned to wash the third time, she didn't go, took the prepared things to the upper room, and asked Xu Zhengjiang to hand them over.
Who would have thought that Xu Zhengjiang hadn't waited to leave, and his daughter-in-law became sick in the middle of the night and gave birth to a six-pound girl. It was two months ahead of schedule, but fortunately, the mother and daughter were safe and there was no danger.
Xu Miao had no choice, she took her things to Ding's house, but she just put her things down, and left without sitting for a while...... It's better to have a child.
Xu Miao took the old hen and the three-foot cotton silk cloth to give milk, and did not give it to Zhao Cui'e, but went directly to the upper room and handed it to Old Man Xu. She didn't like Zhao Cui'e, and the production was made three months ahead of schedule, which shows that the guess at that time was right.
The people in the village came to give milk, because Xu Zhengjiang wanted to be an official, so everyone who had a child came, but within two days, many people began to discuss, this six-pound child is a normal child, how can it be two months in advance now.
There is an old saying in the farmhouse: seven lives and eight deaths.
This eight-month-old doll can actually survive, this ......
It didn't take long for this rumor to reach the ears of the Xu family's old mansion, and the Lu family had palpitations about Zhao Cui'e's fetal heart, and at that time, what kind of Wang Daopo was looking for to touch the bones, saying that it must be a kid, what was born at this time.
Coupled with the rumors now that rumors are spreading, it is even more impossible for her to sit still. It just so happens that Zhao Cui'e's mother, Niu, is here this month, waiting for her daughter's confinement. The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she came to the moon room, looked at Niu Shi, who was teasing the child, with a tiger face, and said:
"Her own mother (from the eldest son's side), you come with me."
Niu Shi paused when he heard this, then put down his granddaughter and got up to follow. Zhao Cui'e grabbed her mother and shook her head slightly. Since she gave birth to this girl, no one in the family has given her a good face except for the head of the family, and now it is ......
"Mother, don't go."
Niu Shi looked at his daughter, smiled bitterly, and said:
"Why don't you go, your grandmother came to invite me personally."
"You just don't go, what can she do to you." Zhao Cui'e came up vigorously, rolled her eyes, and said, "My father-in-law is about to take office, you ......"
"It's because I'm going to take office that I can't stiffen the relationship, otherwise what will we do in the future?" After Niu finished speaking, he patted the back of his daughter's hand, stood up and walked outside.
Zhao Cui'e looked at her mother's back and wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she finally closed it. Throughout her pregnancy, she tossed the child in her belly, scolded her mother-in-law, aunt-in-law, grandmother-in-law, and beat the housekeeper.
At that time, everyone let her, nothing more than think that this belly was a son, but they didn't expect that she was born as a girl. Thinking of this, Zhao Cui'e said loudly in a hurry:
"Brother Yang is here, is he there?"
shouted a few times, but no one answered, and suddenly remembered that the head of the house went to the academy, and at this time the mother was facing her grandmother alone......
……
The Niu family came to the upper room, there were only Lu family, Xu Bing, and Zheng family in the house, the old man went out with Xu Zhengjiang, and if he wanted to put the moon wine, he had to go to the town to buy some pork and fish or something, although he was a girl, but the boss was going to be an official, and he couldn't wronged them.
Niu Shi saw that there were three women in the room, and his heart suddenly "chuckled", if there were men here today, it is estimated that they could speak politely, otherwise......
Just pondering it, Lu Shi sat cross-legged on the kang and looked at Niu's, snorted coldly, and said:
"His mother-in-law, let me ask you, did you find that Wang Dao woman in the first place?"
"Hey, yes, his grandmother, the result of this bone touching can't be eighteen or nineteen, and ...... besides"
Before Niu Shi's words were finished, Lu Shi directly waved his hand, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Did you say that your girl was a kid in her belly, ah?"
"......" Niu was silent for a moment, there was no way, and he nodded stiffly. Seeing her nodding, Lu Shi was even more unhappy, patted the kang, and said:
"Since it's a boy, why is it a girl, ah?"
"This ......" Niu frowned slightly, but in the town she was the proprietress of the grocery store, who was not polite to him, and then looked at the old lady on the kang, opened her mouth to say something, but for the sake of her daughter, she still endured it alive, lowered her head and did not squeak.
Seeing her like this, Lu Shi became even more proud, stiffened his neck, and continued:
"His own mother, your daughter has been in the door since she entered the door, but she is neither big nor young, neither old nor young. At first, we let it because this girl was pregnant, and she didn't know her in general, but now I'm going to talk about it, and when she's like this, we should discipline her. ”
Niu couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart, so he could only nod cautiously and said vigorously:
"Hey, that's, that's, it's done, it's done."
Lu Shi glanced at Zheng Shi on the side, and the latter immediately nodded clearly and said:
"Mother-in-law, this Cui'e was born in eight months, and the girl who was born is still six pounds heavy, and she is alive and well, what's going on?"
Boom –
When Niu Shi heard this, his heart "chuckled", and a cold sweat immediately broke out in his head. I'm afraid to talk about children, this is ...... Niu bit his lower lip, looked up at Zheng, and pretended to be calm and said:
"This child is in a hurry to come out, who can stop him, mother-in-law, do you say? Besides, the child was born prematurely, and Cui'e is also on the line of life and death, I ......"
"Bang-"
Lu Shi directly slapped a cigarette pouch on the table, frowned at Niu, and said:
"What the hell is going on, is that girl full-term or premature? Zhao family, don't think that we are from the countryside and are fooled, let me tell you, my eldest son is going to be an official, be careful to drag you to the county to be punished. ”
In the past few days, the family often says that whoever disobeys will be punished for this or that, and the Lu family knows what is going on, and it is just right to scare people at this time. Seeing this, Niu frowned, except for the family members who knew about this, the one named Xu Miao knew, could it be her......
No!
If she said it, it would be impossible for this old lady to come to the temptation, thinking of this, Niu Shi looked directly at Lu Shi with confidence, came up with the strength of sprinkling, rolled her eyes, and said:
"Auntie, what you said is not right, what is called full-term or premature. My daughter married into your family, that is the body of a yellow flower girl, my father-in-law is going out to be an official, how, being an official can mean that my daughter was not born prematurely? What makes sense. ”
"If you always want to be an official, then we will be an official, and it won't work if you don't go. The reputation of our Zhao family, who wants to smear it? Mother-in-law, don't blame me for this, if it's really an official, my father-in-law can't be an official, then that's it, my daughter suffers, I admit it. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out. Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, and said with a smile on his face:
"Mother-in-law, what do you think this is for, you can't blame my mother-in-law for this, there is an old saying in our Liaodong Mansion that you haven't heard."
"What, seven lives and eight deaths?" Niu looked at Zheng with a demonic expression, saw her nodded, spat on the ground, and said, "Are you still a grandmother?" The granddaughter lives well, and you hope that she will die. Is it good for you that she's dead? Why, my granddaughter is wrong to live well, she wasn't born prematurely, right? ”
"It's good to beat my daughter's body and bones, these days of pregnancy, you love her to eat fine grain, I know all about this, just raise it like this, can that little girl be born with good bones? You're still a talented lady, isn't this ideal? ”
Zheng didn't know what to say, so he turned his head to look at the old lady in embarrassment. The Lu family was only suspicious, and there was no evidence, and at this time, the Niu family said this, and he was so reasonable, sighed, and no longer looked at the eldest daughter-in-law.
Seeing this, Zheng knew that this pot had to be carried by himself, pursed his lower lip slightly, looked at Niu apologetically, and said:
"Mother-in-law, don't be angry, we'll just ask. Didn't think ......"
"You can't ask!" Niu's unforgiving, "I'll tell you about my mother-in-law, I didn't want to marry my daughter to you at the beginning, but you have to give a hundred ......."
As soon as Zheng heard this, he quickly interrupted Niu's words and said, "Oh, my mother, what happened before ......"
"Zheng Xianhua, shut up for me!" Lu Shi scolded, then put on his shoes excitedly, walked in front of Niu Shi in a few steps, with a black face, and asked, "You say, what did you give a hundred at that time?" ”
"One hundred taels of dowry." Niu said as a matter of course, "Our family didn't think about asking for so much, your daughter-in-law really fell in love with our girl, and she would pay a hundred taels of silver as soon as she made a move, I saw that you were sincere, so naturally ......"
"Smack-"
Before Niu finished speaking, Lu slapped Zheng directly in the face. This time the Niu family was shocked, I always heard the girl say that this grandmother is not a good thing, scolding the daughter-in-law and beating the daughter-in-law, I really saw it today.
"Mother......" Zheng was beaten faceless, and after choking and calling her mother, she was silent, after all, she didn't pay attention.
"Zheng Xianhua, Zheng Xianhua, you can do it, you dare to lie to us, you ......" Lu Shi said and raised his hand again, Zheng immediately reflexively shrunk his neck. Seeing them like this, Niu frowned and held Lu's hand......
