Chapter 3 The Book of Heavenly Officials
Only then did Ming Jiuniang notice Ye'er, who was overly frightened, and hurriedly said: "No, Ye'er, my mother didn't mean you." Mother is scolding the birds outside!"
Ye'er's big dark eyes were full of water, and she clearly didn't believe her words.
Ming Jiuniang wanted to cry without tears, her predecessor was evil, she came to fill the hole, Ye'er wanted to get close to her, but she was full of vigilance, she was so difficult.
She sat up from the bed and scratched a few handfuls of hair.
The sun shone into the broken thatched house, allowing her to see more clearly.
- This family is not only poor, but also dirty and dilapidated.
She slept on a bed board on a stone, against the north wall, opposite the bed board was a broken table and chair, the table top was not decent, and the legs of the chair were of different lengths, probably picking up what others didn't want.
In the center of the room was a pile of burnt charcoal, and next to it were a few notched porcelain, lying on the ground in different positions.
This Ming Jiuniang doesn't even accept the bowl...... How lazy is that!
Also, the cooking at home is also in the house, and there is not even a little oil and salt.
She sighed, looked at her greasy clothes, and bent down to open the cage under the bed.
There are four or five pieces of clothes inside, all of which are hers - no matter how hard it is, Ming Jiuniang has not lost herself.
Xiao Tiece didn't even have a shirt, and the clothes Ye Er was wearing were dirty, with patches on top of patches, and the stitches on them were so rough that people couldn't bear to look at them, obviously from Xiao Tiece's hand......
It's been a hard day!
She was so hungry that she screamed, and the little bean next to her was so hungry that she gnawed her fingers - okay, Ming Jiuniang, your first task is to fill your belly and that of this little angel!
"Come here. She smiled and beckoned to Ye'er.
Ye'er was as thin as a refugee, her head was huge, there was only a pair of black eyes left on her face, her small clothes were tightly wrapped around her body, and her ribs were distinct, which was sad to look at.
Ye'er trembled, but after a while, he still had the courage to put his little chicken claw-like hand in Ming Jiuniang's hand.
Ming Jiuniang smiled even deeper: "Let's go, my mother will take you to the river to wash your face, and then see if you can find something to eat." ”
Ye'er nodded vigorously, he likes such a mother!
When Ming Jiuniang took his hand and walked out, she found that there were five copper plates on the table.
This is what Xiao Tiece left for her, and he said yesterday that he paid her salary!
Ming Jiuniang took the pitiful copper plates to her waist and hid them, and had a new understanding of Xiao Tiece.
The poisonous tongue is a bit of a poisonous tongue, but the heart is not so hard.
As long as she doesn't die, Xiao's thighs can be expected.
Ming Jiuniang took Ye'er to the river to wash her hands and face, and the women who washed clothes in the village pointed at her and talked about it in front of her.
"Isn't that Xiao Blacksmith's daughter-in-law? She actually got up so early today, and I see that the sun is coming out in the west!"
"She actually led her son out, and she smiled at her son, did she want to push her son into the river and drown?"
Ye'er's body trembled again.
Ming Jiuniang was angry, and scolded with her waist crossed: "The long-tongued woman who chews the root of her tongue, take care of yourself first! Your son fell into the river and drowned!"
"Xiao family, you still dare to scold!" The woman who was scolded was not happy, picked up the mallet for laundry and came over and pointed at Ming Jiuniang.
Ming Jiuniang knew that in the village, exiles like them had the lowest status, but this didn't mean that she was easy to bully.
Ming Jiuniang stretched out her hand to hold her mallet, "What, you are allowed to scold me, and I am not allowed to scold you? If you are not convinced, let your man find my man! What's wrong with being lazy? My man is used to it! If you have the ability, you will also let your man get used to you!"
Thinking of Xiao Tiece's size, the woman suddenly felt weak and short of breath.
Ming Jiuniang snorted coldly and pushed the woman hard, only then did she let go.
Don't think she doesn't know, this kind of person, if it weren't for the fear of Xiao Tiece, would have been bullied a long time ago.
If you can't beat it, you still want to jump in front of yourself, that's just looking for a cut!
Seeing this, the other women hurriedly played a round, and several of them hurriedly washed their clothes and left.
Ming Jiuniang looked down at Ye'er, who was still a little frightened, wiped his face for him and said: "Ye'er, you remember, if you can fight, you must fight, otherwise others will think you are weak;
Ye'er looked at the completely different mother and nodded heavily.
He likes his mother so much now, he feels like he is dreaming, and he is afraid that this dream will wake up.
Behind the reeds, Xiao Tiece, who came to fetch water for the blacksmith shop, left quietly after hearing her words, as when he came.
"What about breakfast?" Ming Jiuniang was in trouble.
The five copper plates given by Xiao Tiece can barely eat breakfast, but after spending it, there is nothing.
She didn't want to spend the money she got so quickly, but her stomach was protesting.
"Are the eggs hidden?" she heard a rattling sound.
"My mother doesn't have a partner like you, and she doesn't plant any eggs, so what's there to hide? Besides, I've been in this mud for more than half a month, and no one has found it. The old lady is going to find a male duck and be happy!"
After the sound fell, two wild ducks flew out from behind the reeds on the other side of the river.
Ming Jiuniang was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to take Ye'er's hand and step on the pontoon bridge to the other side.
Duck eggs, I'm coming!
She had only seen the approximate location just now, so she let Ye'er stand on the shore, took off her shoes and socks, and stepped on the mud in the reeds and reached out to fumble for the duck eggs.
Her bloated body, it's really hard for her to bend over like this.
Panting, she reached out and wiped the sweat that flowed into her eyes, and her whole person suddenly turned into a flower face.
Ye'er looked at her, then her lips curled into a smile.
He still had dimples when he laughed, which was very good-looking, and Ming Jiuniang was stunned.
She suddenly changed her mind and beckoned: "Come, son, help my mother find duck eggs together!" Find duck eggs, and my mother will roast duck eggs for you to eat." ”
It turned out that the mother was looking for duck eggs.
Ye'er carefully stepped into the mud as well, but quickly let go of her hands and feet and rolled herself into a little dirty pig.
"The duck eggs are not found, and you are a little mud egg. Ming Jiuniang straightened up and scolded with a smile.
The smile on Ye'er's face suddenly froze, her eyes were in disbelief, but her hands were still stuck in the mud.
Ming Jiuniang was shocked: "Ye'er, was it bitten by something?"
