Chapter 192: Chicken Soup for the Soul

"Sister, you have a big belly, don't get so close to me, be careful of being sick to you."

Wu Jing shrank back and asked Wu Hui to stay away from him.

"It's okay, my sister is in good health, are you hungry? If you're hungry, I'll serve you chicken soup. ”

Wu Jing heard her sister talk about chicken soup, although she was still lacking, her stomach "growled" a few times.

Chicken soup, what a delicious meal, he hadn't drunk chicken soup in a long time.

The most delicious chicken soup in my memory is the stew made by my mother when I was a child.

Now that his mother is gone, and his sister is married, he has no share in killing chickens at home, his two younger brothers can serve at the table, and his father and mother can also serve at the table, but he can only eat some leftovers to survive.

Of course, he didn't dare to tell his sister about this.

My sister was going back to her husband's house a day and a half night, and he told his sister about these things, which made my sister worry and sad.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Wu Jing had no choice but to say honestly, "Where did the chickens come from?" Mother, did they eat it? ”

"The chicken was specially bought for you by your brother-in-law, you can eat it when you want, and leave it alone."

Wu Hui saw that her younger brother was worried, and she resolutely got the truth.

She didn't realize that she was very confident and resolute in saying this, and she didn't take Zhou in her eyes at all.

Wu Jing looked at his sister with a strong aura in front of him, and couldn't help but be confused, as if this was not his own sister.

Perhaps, when a girl gets married, there will be changes in her new home?

Wu Hui walked to the stove and saw that Zhou had just lifted the lid of the pot, and his mouth was still "bar-da", and said:

"It's so fragrant, the little hen that has never laid eggs, the meat must be very tender."

As he spoke, Zhou took a spoon and went to make soup and meat.

Wu Hui frowned, walked up to her and questioned:

"Mother, the chicken was bought by my father-in-law, and it should be stewed for Wu Jing to eat."

"Ha, although it was bought by your father-in-law, I am his elder, shouldn't I be filial to my elders?"

Zhou said cheekily.

After speaking, Zhou was not polite, made a big bowl of chicken by himself, and took it to the side to eat.

Wu Hui was angry, but Zhou was right, she was an elder, and it was appropriate for children to respect their elders, and it was also a virtue that children must have.

Wu Hui was depressed in her heart, and couldn't help but think, fortunately, Zhou was not her mother-in-law, otherwise she would definitely be the same as Osmanthus, she couldn't hold it back and couldn't stand it.

Wu Hui opened the lid of the pot, and she found that most of the good meat had been beaten away by Zhou, but fortunately, there was still a chicken leg and a few pieces of chicken breast left in the pot.

Wu Hui hurriedly beat out the meat, shook a big bowl full of chicken soup, and brought it to Wu Jing.

Wu Jing smelled the aroma of chicken soup, although he felt that he had no appetite before, but for some reason, this fragrance was heart-wrenching, as if it could catch his stomach.

"Little brother, can you sit up?"

Wu Hui asked with concern.

Wu nodded and said, "Although the head is still heavy, it is much better, I can sit up, sister, don't worry." ”

"Okay, then you can eat it yourself, drink more chicken soup, and you can get better if you have a cold." Wu Hui said.

Wu Hui's message was received from what Liu Wan usually said.

Liu Wan often said that drinking chicken soup can cure colds and the like, Wu Hui didn't believe it before, but when the sick person was her younger brother, she couldn't help but be superstitious again, hoping that what Liu Wan said should be true.

She hoped that by drinking this bowl of chicken soup, her brother's cold would be cured soon.

Wu Jing didn't know what thoughts were turning in Wu Hui's heart, he took the bowl, his hand was still a little soft, the chicken soup was so precious, he definitely couldn't let the chicken soup spill it.

So Wu Jing held the bowl firmly and ate slowly.

Wow, how can there be such a delicious chicken soup?

The flavor of the fragrant and rich chicken soup instantly filled the entire mouth, and there was a faint garlic aroma in the chicken soup, which removed the fishy smell of the chicken, and there was some slightly spicy aroma, which should have been pepper seeds.

Pepper seeds can warm the stomach and dispel dampness, and people with colds have a bad appetite.

"Sister, the taste of chicken soup is so good, after eating this bowl of chicken soup, the sweat on my head comes out, and my body is relaxed."

His stomach was full, and he was in good spirits, and Wu Jing felt as if he wasn't sick.

Seeing her brother's eyes light up, Wu Hui was very happy, took the bowl to wash, and then came back to wipe her brother's sweat with a dry cloth towel.

Wu Jinggang was full, and it was uncomfortable to lie down, so he half-sits.

Wu Hui asked, "Didn't you sleep with me?" How did you move here? ”

Wu Hui and Wu Jing are sisters and brothers, and they are not very old, so the two of them sleep in one room, but one bed per person, and the two beds are separated by a bamboo curtain.

In the countryside, there are many children, and housing is tight, and the children are all making do with this.

Although it is a room for two people, he also has his own bedroom, a bed and a quilt, where is Wu Jing so embarrassed now?

Wu Jing shook his head and said, "Wu Qing and Wu Shui refused to live in another house after you got married, saying that they wanted one room for one person, so the Zhou family asked me to let them live in the room." Drive me into this little firewood house. ”

The Wu family has three main rooms, Zhou and Xianggong Wu Jiayang live in one, her two sons Wu Qing and Wu Shui live in one, and Wu Hui and Wu Jing originally live in one.

After Wu Hui got married, the Zhou family deprived Wu Jing of his room for his son to live in.

"Then it's too much to give a quilt in winter, right?" Wu Hui said angrily.

"Zhou said that Wu Qing and Wu Shui originally slept in the same bed, so there was one less set of quilts, and asked me to let it out, so that I didn't have to spend any more money to buy it."

Wu Jing Nene is authentic.

"Don't you sleep with a quilt at night? Aren't you cold? Didn't you question her? Wu Hui felt that her younger brother was too honest and bullied by the Zhou family.

"What's the use of this, I said it, she slapped me with a backhand, and my father also said that the lesson was good."

Wu Jing was aggrieved.

It turned out that my father helped the Zhou family to this one, no wonder the Zhou family was so proud, but I was the only one.

"Sister, don't be angry, you don't have to talk about Zhou, it's useless to be angry, otherwise after you leave, she will be even more ruthless to me.

Not giving me food is still a trivial matter, and they will use all kinds of excuses to beat me with a stick if it doesn't go their way. ”

Wu Jing's tragic situation was also seen by her sister anyway, so she simply stopped hiding it, and pulled up her clothes to let her look at her back.

Sure enough, Wu Jing's back was covered with injuries from beating with a stick, blue and purple, and old injuries were repeated with new injuries, which shocked Wu Hui.

Wu Hui's tears fell and said:

"How can this be, when I got married, I took a bride price of 20 taels of silver, and they were so happy that they said they would treat you well.

You have become like this now, how can I be worthy of my mother? I promised her to take good care of you. ”

After Wu Hui finished speaking, she began to cry.

When I went home today, I thought of seeing Wu Jing, and Wang Xiao took care of her all the way, Wu Hui was in a good mood.

But when she got home, she cried more than three times.

"Yo, Xiaohui? Xiaohui, where are you? What about the son-in-law? Why didn't you see him? ”

At this time, in the main hall outside the house, Wu Jiayang, the father of the two, came back from the field, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly without seeing anyone.
