Midsummer nights are already hot and dry, and the intermittent chirping of cicadas disturbs dreams.

After Jiang Ning learned about the incident in Xiaojia Town, he was still very embarrassed in his heart, so much so that he couldn't sleep at all when he tossed and turned on the bed in the middle of the night.

Just as she turned around again, she happened to meet Xiao Sheng's frowning sleeping face, and it was obvious that he was not sleeping peacefully.

Inevitably waking people up, Jiang Ning sat up lightly after a moment of confusion, and carefully climbed out of bed from the end of the bed.

"Whew!"

After going down and standing firm, Jiang Ning let out a long sigh of relief after seeing that Xiao Sheng turned around and was still asleep, and tiptoed out of the room, thinking of going to the backyard to take a breath and drink saliva by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the backyard, I met Liu coming out of the kitchen.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and each other showed a look of embarrassment.

"Ahem, Ning'er, why haven't you slept this big night?"

Liu's face is already thin, and because he was poor, he used to cry when he found black Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains, not to mention that he was bumped into by his daughter-in-law this time.

However, Jiang Ning quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I somehow felt a little thirsty at night, so I simply came to the backyard to find some water to drink." ”

"Well, that's right, then you drink water, and go back to rest when you're done."

Liu stumbled after saying this, and hurriedly planned to go back to the house.

It's just that before he got out of the backyard, he was stopped by Jiang Ning.

"Mother, you wait."

Liu Shi paused, turned to look at her with a puzzled face: "Ning'er, but what's the matter?" ”

Jiang Ning pursed his lips and shook his head, walked up to her quickly, stared at her slightly red and swollen eyes, sighed heavily before slowly saying, "Mother, we can't sleep left and right, why don't you sit down and talk?" ”

When Liu Shi heard this, his body froze, and he raised his head hesitantly to look over.

However, Jiang Ning didn't wait for Liu's consent to directly take her arm and came to the steps in front of the kitchen, patted her twice casually and asked her to sit down, and then sat down with him.

"Ning'er, do you want to ......"

"Mother, do you know what kind of life I lived in the village before?"

Jiang Ning suddenly interrupted Liu's words, and said such a sentence inexplicably, which made Liu stunned, but he still quickly answered her question: "I probably know a little." ”

Of course, what she didn't say was that it was because she knew what kind of life she was living that she asked Xiao Sheng to set her.

Jiang Ning mistakenly thought that she had just heard about some fur and didn't know the real situation, so she simply pulled her and chattered.

"I may not believe it, in the early years, when my parents were still there, I was also a delicate girl in the family, my father took care of all kinds of farm work outside, and my mother did housework at home, not to mention chopping wood, laundry and cooking, just to clean up a dish and chopsticks, my father and mother were reluctant, caring for me was like caring for some baby, to say a boastful word is simply to hold it in my hand for fear of breaking, holding it in my mouth for fear of melting, but ......"

Jiang Ning sniffed, smiled bitterly and continued: "But since the death of my parents, those good days seem to have left me in an instant, and the previous ones seemed to be a dream, turned into clouds and smoke, and disappeared, and then the uncle took me over to raise me for the sake of my family's field, and it sounded good to take care of his brother's orphan daughter, but in fact, he just treated me as a maid, and all kinds of rough and heavy work were handed over to me, and the family's meals were also covered by me, and in the end, I only gave me a black flour bun to eat." ”

"Uncle occupied my father's mother's main house, Jiang Yu dominated my house, and they used my father's and mother's remaining silver taels to build a room next to Jiang Ming, as for me...... I can only survive in the firewood room, countless nights, I gnawed on the black bread and complained, complained about why my father and mother threw me down back then, why did I leave, but after complaining, the days still have to go on, the work that should be done is not less, of course, even if it is done well, it is useless, in the eyes of their family, I am a burden, even if they eat my family's things, use my family's fields, still think so. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ning unconsciously pulled out a sneer, as if he was laughing at the original owner and as if he was laughing at himself again.

Liu is a sensual person, and after hearing these words, tears had already accumulated in his eyes, and he subconsciously leaned towards Jiang Ning's side, as if this could give her warmth.

Jiang Ning looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but his thoughts had already drifted away......

"Later, when I got older, they discussed whether to sell me or marry me, anyway, they wanted to squeeze my last bit of use value, by the way, before they persuaded me to marry Xiao Sheng, they had thought of marrying me to a lazy widower in the next village, saying that they could have a bride price of two taels of silver, hehe, for two taels of silver, they planned to marry their niece......

"Your uncle is really a brute, no, brutes are better than him."

Jiang Ning smiled noncommittally and said: "Later, fortunately, mother, you came to the village and said that you would find someone to serve Xiao Sheng, which was fifty taels of silver, and they immediately decided to marry me, and beat me up again." ”

Liu naturally heard about this matter, and hugged her distressedly.

"Originally, I refused, always thinking that they were planning to sell me, but then I somehow agreed, thinking that it was better to serve a man with bad legs than a man older than my father, so I agreed to marry."

"Ning'er, you can be regarded as bittersweet." Liu said with great emotion.

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement: "Yes, I am willing to work hard, and my mother, Xianggong and Qing'er are very good to me, so I thought that I must be diligent, and be diligent, and serve my good mother-in-law, Xianggong, and sister-in-law, so that I can be worthy of you, and it was you who rescued me from the fire pit." ”

"Ning'er, in fact, it's ......"

"Mother, I know, your original intention is to find a woman who will serve her husband for the rest of her life, but this can't change your good to me, sometimes looking at you, I feel like seeing my mother when she is still alive, every now and then I will think, I have to be worthy of the good you give me, I want to make our family's life more prosperous, but I forgot not to do to others what I don't want to do to others......"

Jiang Ning hung her head guiltily, and a tear crossed the corner of her eye and dripped onto the back of Liu's hand, making her feel hot and distressed.

"Ning'er, you ......"

"Mother, if you really don't want to go to the town to live, it's a big deal that I, Xianggong and Qing'er will come back as soon as possible, it's just ...... The days are always moving forward, how can you really feel the sweetness of the previous suffering, take 10,000 steps back, if Xianggong High School goes to the capital to take the exam in the future, do we still have to stay in such a small place, and wait until we go to the town in the future to meet those who were ridiculed before, and continue to be ridiculed? ”
