Chapter 172: Wounds on the Hands
Liu Wan heard it, but supported Wu Hui to go to the town for a walk.
Anyway, she checked the pulse, Wu Hui didn't have any major physical problems, but she was depressed, and her mental problems were even worse.
It's good to go to town for a walk.
It is a good thing for the little couple to mix oil in honey, she is not good at making light bulbs, so she asked Wang Xiao and Wu Hui to go to the town together, and she stayed at home.
Liu Wan also confessed that if the store is busy, don't let Wu Hui be tired, Wang Xiao should do more.
Wang Xiao said no, he needed Wu Hui to help with the work, and he would let Wu Hui go to the attic to rest, and he could handle it alone.
Wu Hui didn't expect Liu Wan to persuade Wang Xiao to let her go to the market town together.
She felt that Liu Wan's attitude towards her was much better than before, and her mood was complicated for a while.
Wang Xiao packed up, took all the belongings, carefully helped Wu Hui into the ox cart, and drove the ox cart to the entrance of the village.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, a woman of the same age as Wu Hui shouted on the side of the road:
"Xiaohui, are you going to town?"
"Yes!"
Wu Hui saw that it was the osmanthus from the same village, so she nodded enthusiastically.
Osmanthus is also a new daughter-in-law, who has only been married to Taoyuan Village for less than a year.
The two usually meet on the streets and alleys, and occasionally talk.
Because they are both new daughters-in-law and have a common language, the two are still relatively familiar.
"I'm going to town to sell something, can I take your car?"
Osmanthus spoke a little embarrassed.
Wu Hui nodded and said, "Okay, come up quickly!" ”
Saying that, Wu Hui asked Wang Xiao to stop and pulled Osmanthus into the car.
However, Wu Hui didn't expect that when she pulled Osmanthus's wrist, Osmanthus also called softly.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt you? ”
Wu Hui asked apologetically.
"No, it's a little uncomfortable on my wrist."
Osmanthus said, and quickly retracted her hand into her sleeve.
But Wu Hui had already seen that there were traces of bruises on the osmanthus bracelet.
She was shocked, and when she looked at the marks, she knew that she had been beaten, because the position of her wrist was not easy to fall, and it should have been drawn with wattles and the like.
The reason why Wu Hui is so sure is because she is familiar with such scars!
When she was not married in the past, her stepmother Zhou would also make excuses that she was wrong, and then she would whip her with wattles, leaving such bruises after the beating.
Looking at Osmanthus with a not very cheerful expression, Wu Hui faintly felt that Osmanthus must have been beaten by someone at home.
Thinking of this, Wu Hui couldn't help but be startled.
A new daughter-in-law, who will beat her?
Could it be her father-in-law Xiao Wang?
But Xiao Wang seems to have a good temper, not like he can beat people.
Wu Hui fell into deep thought.
"Osmanthus, what are you going to sell at the market?"
After a while, Wu Hui accosted casually.
"Hehe, in fact, I went to sell eggs, and I didn't go out to sell them during the Chinese New Year, so I saved a small basket."
"Hey, didn't you say it earlier, it's all about selling eggs, just sell it to my family, you don't have to go to the market."
At this time, Wang Xiao spoke.
His family has a lot of eggs recently, and his mother often beats egg sweet soup for his younger brothers and sisters to drink in the morning, and will give Xiaohui fried poached eggs to eat, and sometimes make egg drop soup, so he consumes a lot of eggs all day long, and his mother also told him to buy some eggs at the market today.
"Oh, I brought some vegetables to sell in addition to eggs."
Osmanthus wilted, her tone was not very happy.
If ordinary people would definitely say that it was good to sell it to you, anyway, I only walked out of the village now, and I just walked a few steps back, so I didn't have to go to the set to suffer, so why not be tired?
But the tone in which Osmanthus spoke did not want to sell it to them, as if she had to go to the town.
Wu Hui sighed softly, she didn't say anything, she always felt that Osmanthus was in a bad mood, and there was something else hidden.
On the way, while Wang Xiao was concentrating on driving, Wu Hui squeezed to Osmanthus and asked in a low voice:
"Osmanthus, are you unhappy? You were beaten with a wound on your hand, right? ”
Seeing that Wu Hui had broken through what she wanted to hide, she also needed someone to talk to at this time, her eyes were red, and she nodded and said:
"Yes, I was beaten by my mother-in-law."
"What? Can't your mother-in-law see it? ”
Osmanthus's mother-in-law, Xie Shi, usually looks a little lighter, but she is thin and small, and she can't see that she will beat people, and she usually looks very kind to Osmanthus.
"Alas, she pretended to do it, but in fact, she was ruthless." Osmanthus is aggrieved.
"Why did you hit you? What are you doing wrong? I can't beat you for no reason, right? ”
Wu Hui asked.
In fact, she is also a little curious about how other people's mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law get along, and she still wants to compare herself with herself to see if Liu Wan is the worst mother-in-law.
In recent days, Liu Wan didn't give her a good meal, which made Wu Hui feel very angry.
"My mother-in-law said that I smiled at my husband during dinner, so she beat me."
Osmanthus hesitated, her face was a little red, and she still said.
"Ah, that's all there is to it? If you don't laugh at your father-in-law, do you cry? Wu Hui's mind was foggy, and she was puzzled for a while.
"It's good that she can think like you, my mother-in-law said that I laughed at men in front of everyone, I was seducing men, shameless, and not abiding by women's morals." Osmanthus is very aggrieved.
Wu Hui was shocked!
If this is also the reason why Osmanthus was beaten, then she had to go to the town with Wang Xiao this morning and squeeze her mother-in-law away, should Liu Wan beat her with a big stick?
The mother-in-law who changed to osmanthus would definitely do this, right?
Wu Hui couldn't help but get goosebumps because of fear.
Wu Hui asked puzzledly: "Then shouldn't you get along well with your husband?" Why do I want to hit you because I laugh? ”
"I don't know, maybe my mother-in-law usually doesn't get along well with her father-in-law, so she doesn't want me to get along too well with my father-in-law, right?"
In fact, osmanthus is also puzzled.
"I've heard people say before that a mother-in-law will be jealous of her daughter-in-law and son, and feel that her son, who has worked hard since childhood, loves her daughter-in-law, and it is her daughter-in-law who has robbed her son."
Wu Hui tried hard to recall and came to this conclusion, which was relatively close to the truth.
"Yo, is there really such a mother-in-law? If so, I think my mother-in-law is that kind of person. Osmanthus suddenly realized.
"Really? I really didn't expect it. Wu Hui choked.
"Hey, I won't dare to joke with Xianggong in public in the future. Since yesterday's beating of me, the two of us are now like strangers during the day, and we don't even dare to sit close to eat. ”
Osmanthus said distressedly.
"So miserable?" Wu Hui was sympathetic.
"Yes, you're done, you can go out to the market with Xianggong. By the way, how does your mother-in-law treat you, she won't be like my mother-in-law, right? Osmanthus asked.
Wu Hui thought about it seriously, Liu Wan really didn't look like the Xie family.
In the past, Liu Wan had a bad temper and was easy to get angry, that was because Wang Dazhi gambled money and looked for women outside.
Liu Wan will vent her anger on the children, but she still doesn't say that she will hinder herself from getting along with Wang Xiao.
