Chapter 16: A Nest of Bad Water
On the way here, the daughter-in-law of the aunt next door told Yun Niang and his wife about the Zhao family, so Yun Niang knew it.
After listening to Zhao's words, she lifted her eyelids and glanced at her, but did not answer, Zhao was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything more to her.
In the house, Dr. Zhao checked Shi Jin's pulse and gave her an injection again because of her unstable fetal image.
After Yun Niang checked on the rest of the Zhao family, Dr. Zhao rarely said a few more words to the Zhao family seriously, "Auntie, now that it's winter, even if it's the New Year, there is not so much work to do." If you want to keep the child in your eldest daughter-in-law's womb, it is best to let her rest for a few days, otherwise Hua Tuo is alive, and I am afraid that there will be no way. ”
The boss in Zhao's heart was unhappy, but she had always bullied the soft and feared the hard, and many people looked at the liveliness of her family, so she had to nod and respond to Dr. Zhao's words.
"My aunt's chickens are very good, if I can ask Jin Niang to eat an egg every once in a while, it will also be good for the child." Yun Niang already knew about the fortune teller, and she knew that what she said might not work, but she still helped say a few words.
Yun Niang's words made Zhao scold a few words in her heart, she was reluctant to eat the eggs at home, how could she use them to make up for the bad broom star?
But thinking about it in her heart, she didn't dare to say it, but still nodded again and again.
Looking at her appearance, Yun Niang sighed in her heart, she calculated the account and asked the Zhao family for money.
Rushing to the market to buy dishes and chopsticks during the day, Zhao was already distressed enough, and now she had to pay for it, she squinted and glanced at the house where her mother lived, and then reluctantly went back to the house to get the money.
The aunt next door left with Yun Niang and his wife, and with the medicine powder left by Yun Niang, the courtyard of the Zhao family finally stopped.
Zhao Shi kept his face calm and walked towards the main house, and as soon as he opened the door, there was a foul smell, so that he could hang her out.
Zhao Lian'er's used urinal was placed on the floor of the outhouse, and she lay on the kang, hugging the quilt and falling asleep.
"The second one!" Tossing for most of the night, Zhao was also tired enough, but if this pot was placed in the house, she didn't want to say anything more, let her clean it up, it would be impossible, so she opened the door and shouted at Zhao Qianqian's house.
Xing had just sat down, and before she could recover herself, she heard her mother-in-law calling her, and even if she was not happy, she had to come out of the house with sour steps.
"Hurry up and pack up." Pointing to the urinal on the ground, Zhao commanded, Xing stood at the door, looked at the excrement inside, and couldn't help retching.
In the end, with tears in his eyes, Xing cleaned up the basin used by Zhao Lian'er.
When she went to her house, she kept her eyes on the room where Shi Jinniang was......
Early the next morning, Shi Jin went to the stove room to make breakfast, but no one supported her, which tossed for most of the night, and everyone else hadn't gotten up yet, mainly because she was hungry.
After breakfast was ready, she pretended to shout a few words in the yard, and without waiting for anyone to answer, she took the eldest girl and the second girl to eat briefly in the stove room.
When the Zhao family got up, she had already taken the eldest girl and the second girl out.
She knew what Dr. Zhao said to Zhao last night, but it didn't prevent her from wanting to go out.
"Mother, my sister-in-law is not in the house, this is going out again." After breakfast, Xing deliberately stood outside Shi Jin's house and listened for a while, made sure that there was no one in the house, and hurried to Zhao to complain.
"I heard Dr. Zhao's words yesterday, why don't we let her rest? It's clear that she can't be idle, and she runs out all day long! If you want me to say, my mother still has a good temper. ”
Glancing at Zhao Lian'er lying on the kang, Xing continued, "I know that my sister-in-law is pregnant, and the family has spent a lot of money, and I specially invited a fortune teller for her. ”
It was obvious that Xing himself wanted to find a fortune teller to tell Zhao Bao's fortune, but now it was all pushed to Shi Jin.
"Mother, it looks like it's time to prepare New Year's goods, and when the New Year's Bao'er is studying, you have to think about it, and you have to use money everywhere......"
"That's it!" Xing wanted to continue, but was interrupted impatiently by Zhao, how could she not know what her second daughter-in-law said, but what could she do now?
Zhao Lian'er had been lying on the kang, and she listened to what Xing said to Zhao, and when Zhao stopped Xing from continuing, she sat up from the kang and pulled the corner of Zhao's clothes.
"Mother, do you remember what we said before?" Zhao Lian'er's words asked her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to turn around and look at her together, Xing didn't quite understand, but Zhao remembered.
"Now...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? "There have been a lot of things at home recently, and their family has become a topic of conversation in the village after tea and dinner, if the two little girls are sold at this time......
"What's this, it's just two stinky girls, sooner or later it's water that will be spilled out, it's a big deal, let's pick a better person, if those two girls are doing well, I have to thank you!" Zhao Lian'er smiled, her eyes full of malice.
After listening to her words, what else did Xing not understand? But she didn't feel anything wrong at all, and even agreed with it, she actually had this idea when she said those things just now.
It's just that it's better not to say it out of her mouth.
"Hmm......" Zhao groaned, and Zhao Lian'er continued to add oil and vinegar.
"Mother, the eldest brother is gone, so sweep ...... The sister-in-law is pregnant, and she said that it was a male baby, and she was born to be able to inherit the eldest brother's incense, but the doctor always said that the sister-in-law's fetus is not good, and we have to give the sister-in-law a good care in order to keep the only remaining incense of the eldest brother, but it is the New Year, and money is used everywhere, where is there still money for the sister-in-law? ”
"In the future, the sister-in-law gives birth to a male baby, and the eldest girl and the second girl are sisters, don't they also have to help the younger brother? Now it's just a little ahead, they should be willing, presumably the sister-in-law herself can figure it out. ”
"Our family doesn't have to rely on selling babies to support the family, but it's really a last resort, what about these two girls, let's find a good family, just send one to enjoy the blessings, and the other is still at home, so that the sister-in-law also thinks about it."
Xing looked at Zhao Lian'er, because of the relationship between the two families, she always came to Zhao's house to play in the past, Zhao Lian'er was considered to have grown up with her, she didn't expect that she could say such a thing.
Although she herself has such thoughts, it can be compared to Zhao Lian'er...... Somehow, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and subconsciously shivered.
Zhao Lian'er was staring at Zhao, Zhao looked down and pondered her daughter's words, but the mother and daughter didn't notice Xing's reaction.
After a while, Zhao raised his head, "Second daughter-in-law, go back to the town and see if anyone is looking for a girl?" ”
"Hey." Xing Shi paused, and then agreed. "Then I'll go to work."
Zhao nodded, Xing turned around and walked outside the house, Zhao Lian'er heard the sound of the door, slid from the kang to the edge of the kang, and pulled her shoes outside.
Zhao thought that his daughter was going to the thatched house, and he didn't ask much, Zhao Lian'er came out of the house and caught up with Xing in a few steps, "Cousin! ”
