Jiang Ying stood in the courtyard and seemed to be able to hear Xu's voice begging for mercy.

She could fully imagine how the Xu family was beaten and angry in the Meng family.

The whole Meng family stood together and counted the Xu family, and the Xu family didn't dare to reply a word, and the slightest disappointment would lead to a severe beating.

The uncle of the Meng family is still a scholar, and now he is still an official, and he looks like a dog outside, and when he returns home, he abuses his wife like this.

Even if such a person is an official, how can he really do practical things, and how can he be the master of the people?

It took a long time for the Meng family to quiet down, and Guo Sanniang happened to cook a meal, so she said to Jiang Ying: "I originally said that the people next to me here are all officials who are studying, and they should be stopped, but I didn't expect to meet such a family that is not a thing, and others will also be upset." ”

Jiang Ying hummed, reached out and hugged the baby to feed her first.

When Tan Qi came back in the evening, Jiang Ying smelled wine on him.

Tan Qi rinsed his mouth, hugged Tan Baobao and said a few words, and then said to Jiang Ying: "I went to the guild hall, I heard that Luochuan Mansion has never rained or snowed, and there are many families in the countryside who can't get by, and now there are people who sell their sons and daughters." ”

This kind of thing inevitably makes people feel bad.

Jiang Ying also followed with a sullen heart.

The charcoal burning in the house made people feel even more depressed, Jiang Ying pushed open the window to breathe a few breaths of fresh air, and then looked up at the sky: "I see that it is going to snow in the capital, and I don't know if it will snow in Luochuan Mansion." ”

Jiang Ying saw the sky very accurately, fell asleep that night, and in the middle of the night, he heard a small voice outside, Tan Qi got up and went out for a walk, and came back and said softly: "It's snowing." ”

Jiang Ying responded, turned over in a daze and fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Guo Sanniang came over with a little moisture on her body.

"It's still snowing outside?"

Jiang Ying put on cotton clothes for Tan Baobao, hugged her and asked Guo Sanniang.

Guo Sanniang smiled: "It's still falling, this snow is heavy, and Ruan Hong'er is sweeping the snow at this moment." ”

Jiang Ying nodded and watched Guo Sanniang set the meal: "Go back, you ask Uncle Zhou to buy some dried bamboo shoots, and if there are fungus dried mushrooms and the like, you can also buy some." ”

Guo Sanniang promised to go out.

Jiang Ying ate and hugged the baby and stood under the porch to watch the snow.

At this time, the snow is a little smaller, standing under the porch, you can still see the snowflakes falling non-stop, Ruan Hong'er is wearing a leather hat, with cotton gloves on her hands, is vigorously sweeping the snow, when the half-grown boy is playing, while sweeping the snow, a few boys have a snowball fight.

After a while, the yard was full of flying snow.

Tired of playing, they rested for a while to continue to clear the snow, Jiang Ying went into the house to add a piece of clothing to Tan Baobao and came out, the snow in the yard had been swept away, and there was a big snowman piled up in the yard.

Talking about the baby's excitement when he saw the snowman, he opened his hand and wanted to touch it.

Jiang Ying had no choice but to hug her and touch: "You can only touch it for a while, this snow is too cold, and it will freeze your little hands after touching it for a long time." ”

Tan Baobao giggled, grabbed a snow ball and threw it into the distance, just smashed into Shao Si's collar, and the frozen Shao Si'er shivered.

I was playing here, and there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhou Feng happened to be at the gatehouse.

There was also a charcoal pot in the inverted room, and it was not good to smoke a hut to be warm, and Zhou Feng was wearing a cotton jacket and sitting on the fire.

He hummed a little song, and on the table in front of him was hot tea and a plate of fried peas.

Hearing a knock on the door, Zhou Feng hurriedly opened the door.

The door opened, and Zhou Feng saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Lang Jun standing at the door.

On a cold day, this Lang Jun was wearing a little thin, there was not much cotton in the cotton jacket, he looked a little stiff, he didn't wear a long shirt outside, he didn't wear a hat on his head, and the snow fell on top of his head, dyeing his head a little white.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Feng squinted and looked.

Na Langjun hurriedly said: "I am Meng Yu, the eldest son of the Meng family's big house, my mother is sick, my father is not at home, I came to ask if there is a master in your mansion, if so, can you borrow it...... Borrow a car for use, and then borrow some silver taels. ”

If he hadn't been seriously ill, he wouldn't have asked for a neighbor who had just moved in.

Zhou Feng saw Meng Yu's embarrassed face, faintly anxious, and said: "Our wife is at home, you wait, I'll go and talk to my wife." ”

He trotted all the way to the backyard, just as Jiang Ying was still looking at the snow, and when he saw Zhou Feng running over, he said: "Uncle Zhou, slow down, the ground is slippery, be careful of slipping." ”

"Don't worry, my body is fine." Zhou Feng ran to the front: "Outside, Xiao Langjun of the Meng family asked for help, saying that the eldest wife of the Meng family was in an emergency and wanted to borrow our car for a use, and also wanted to borrow a few taels of silver." ”

The Meng family is a big deal, even if he doesn't look down on the Meng family as a person, and when he encounters a matter of human life, Jiang Ying will not sit idly by.

"You go and ask Brother Li to set up a car, and by the way, take five taels of silver and Xiao Langjun."

Zhou Feng went to pay the money, and Li Qi also set up the car over there.

The car stopped at the door of Meng's house, and Meng Yu came out with Xu in his arms.

Xu was unconscious, and Meng Yu wrapped her in a quilt and put her in the car.

Jiang Ying was not at ease, so she asked Guo Sanniang to help take care of the baby, and she went over to take a look.

Although he only glanced at it a few times, Jiang Ying still saw that Xu's face was bruised, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying didn't say much.

She only told Li Qi: "You don't need a car at home, don't be in a hurry to come back when you get to the hospital, give Xiao Langjun a hand, and come back when you settle down." ”

Li Qi nodded solemnly.

Seeing the car go far away, Jiang Ying returned to the house.

Tan Baobao was sitting on the kang and playing, and Guo Sanniang was smiling at her while making clothes.

Seeing Jiang Ying come in, Guo Sanniang got up, Jiang Ying smiled and said: "You sit, there is no one else at home, just our girls, let's talk together." ”

Guo Sanniang sat down and continued to sew clothes.

After a few stitches, she sighed: "That Xu family is also hard, hard work, finally for the husband to pass the Jinshi and become an official, seeing that there is a good life, but he is beaten and scolded all day long, he can't survive such a long age, and he is afraid that this life will be like this." ”

Jiang Ying took a sip of water: "The Meng family is at fault in this matter, but I also blame the Xu family for not being able to stand up, I heard the lady of the Geng family next door say that she had helped the Xu family, but who knew that the Xu family didn't miss her at all, but blamed her for being nosy, and others who made trouble knew about the discord of the Meng family, so that she was complained by her mother-in-law." ”

Guo Sanniang was dumbfounded when she heard this: "There are still such people who don't know what to do?" ”

Jiang Ying smiled: "There are many such people." ”

She pointed to the Geng family next door: "You go and inquire, is the Geng family's family background similar to the Meng family before, the old lady of the Geng family and the old lady of the Meng family are on par with the meanness, but look at what kind of life the Geng family lady is living, and what kind of life is the Xu family living?" There are so many things, others can't help you, only when you stand up by yourself, can you live like a person. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Geng family, who are separated by a wall, are arguing again.

It's snowing today, and the Geng family lady is afraid that the road will be even more difficult if the snow doesn't stop, so she will get up early in the morning and go to the morning market, thinking about buying some dried vegetables and some meat.

She went to several shops and bought a lot of miscellaneous things, but she couldn't bring them back herself, so she called a helper to take them back.

When I entered the door, I gave a few copper coins to the helper, and I heard Mrs. Geng shouting in the house: "Why did you come back?" I'm dying of hunger, did you see that my wife was not pleasing to the eye, and planned to starve me to death, hello, no one cares? ”

The lady of the Geng family sneered: "You don't die if you get up early when you're hungry, your body is really good." ”

That being said, Geng Niangzi still didn't drink a sip of hot water and went into the kitchen to cook.

Waiting for the meal to be brought into the house, Mrs. Geng said: "Fortunately, you went out this morning, that Xu Shi had an emergency, her son came to our house to borrow money first, I only said that you are not at home, I have no money on me to send him away, it sounds like I went to the next door, that Jiang is also a fool, actually borrowed money, and asked the coachman to send it to the hospital, she, no money is not good, I am afraid that I will be fishy." ”
