Liang Xia, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, carried a bamboo basket of wild vegetables on her back and rushed home tired.

There are few wild vegetables in the field, she and her younger siblings ran away to pick, they are far away from Yao Mountain, she walked to the foot of Yao Mountain to see some wild vegetables, and hurriedly picked them back, this time it will be late, and the younger siblings will come back for a while.

She limped to the door of the house, and saw the uncle sitting on the stone pier at the gate of the courtyard, and she was about to ask the uncle what he was doing there, when a fierce gaze was staring at her in the afterglow.

She saw that the atmosphere in the yard was wrong, Brother Qiao was holding a rattan in his hand, his face was dark, looking at her, and what the in-laws were saying, she couldn't hear it, but from their expressions, they seemed to be angry and scolding again.

Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong between her parents and Brother Qiao, she didn't dare to enter this door, thinking of the storm she would face, she timidly retreated.

"Sister-in-law?" Qin Hu called her in a low voice and gave her a look: "Sister-in-law, eldest brother and father are angry with you and Meizi again......"

Liang Xia listened, her body suddenly cooled, they were angry again, just angry for a day, angry again? She was beaten only the day before yesterday, and she is going to be beaten again today?

Seeing the rattan in Brother Qiao's hand, Liang Xia trembled with fright, she was afraid and embarrassed to retreat, she didn't want to be beaten, it hurt too much, it was too painful, the bruises on her body were not good, she would die if she continued to fight, and the children couldn't live without a mother.

"Sister-in-law, you go quickly, I'll drag my brother, and when they are angry, I'll find you and Meizi back, go quickly!" Brother Hu waved his hand and told him to run quickly.

"Brother Hu, let her get in, she has come home, and she is still standing at the door, do you want to starve the whole family to death?" Qin Qiao lifted the rattan and pointed at Liang Xia and scolded loudly.

Liang Xia was shocked by the drink, and when she saw the rattan in Qin Qiao's hand, her face turned white, her lips were purple, she shook her head, and said in horror: "Don't, I don't want to go back...... I don't want to go back......"

Saying that, she wanted to run, but Qin Qiao found out that she wanted to run, and chased after her with a rattan.

"Run? I see where you can run, run away and come back and fight harder! Qin Qiao said angrily.

Hearing Qin Qiao's words behind her, Liang Xia suddenly stopped, every time they chased like this, Liang Xia couldn't escape the heavier beating and scolding, and even her two daughters were beaten, rather than waiting for her daughter to be beaten for protecting her, it was better to bear it herself.

She just ran two steps, she didn't plan to run, she just stood in place, squatted down with her head in her hands, shrunk into a ball, waiting to be beaten, she reported to the official, the government said it was a family matter, and after persuading Brother Qiao, she let him go home.

After he came back from the government, he beat her even harder, and beat her to death, and her legs and feet were lame by him at that time, and she couldn't get any better.

Qin Qiao ran over, saw her holding her head, and without saying a word, a rattan raised a "boom" sound, and "snapped" at Liang Xia's body fiercely.

"Run? I'll let you run for me! Run! I'll see how you run......"

"Whew......"

"Smack!"

"Whew......"

"Smack"

"If you don't cook for your father and mother at noon, do you want to starve your father and mother to death?" Qin Qiao pumped again.

The bamboo basket on Liang Xia's back was torn off and thrown aside, and the wild vegetables in the bamboo basket fell to the ground, and she rolled on the ground, avoiding the rattan.

“……”

Low pain: "Uh! ”

She never screamed, even the painful screams were tightly bitten in her mouth, if the children heard her screaming, they would definitely be so frightened that they ran out to protect her, and then Qin Qiao would be even more angry, and beat several children together, beating her, her heart was numb, but beating the child, her heart hurt.

"Big brother, don't fight!"

"Big brother, you're going to beat your sister-in-law to death!"

"Whew......"

"Smack!"

"Big brother!" Qin Hu stood in front of Liang Xia and took this rattan for his sister-in-law.

"Get out of here!" Qin Qiao is like a ruthless demon, holding a rattan in his hand and not recognizing people.

"Big brother? Second brother? ”

Qin Lan saw her eldest brother beating her sister-in-law from a distance, she hurriedly ran over, listening to the sound of the rattan falling on her body, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to step forward, just looking at it knew that it would hurt a lot.

Qin Hu saw Qin Lan suddenly coming: "Xiaolan is here?" ”

Qin Qiao was red with anger, no matter who came, it was useless, Qin Lan was even more angry when he came! Every time she comes, she either borrows money or borrows food, or let him find a way to find the county master, he is Guanyin Bodhisattva, go to the county master? The annoyance was even stronger, and he wanted to raise the rattan again and pump it at Liang Xia.

Qin Lan couldn't stand it, no matter how poor Qiao Erjing was, he hadn't beaten her once, not to mention that Liang Xia was Liang Dazhui's sister-in-law in Yaoshan Village, when she married Liang Xia, she could marry Brother Qinqiao, or her own mother-in-law said that she was pro, how could she watch Liang Xia being beaten like this.

"Big brother!" Qin Lan pushed Qin Hu away, pounced on Liang Xia and shouted, "I can't fight anymore!" ”

Qin Qiao didn't care, a rattan stick was drawn on Qin Lan's bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket was removed by him, and the pickled chicken and meat in it were scattered on the ground.

The moment Qin Hu saw the meat and chicken, his eyelids were flattened, and he shouted loudly: "Big brother, what do you think Xiaolan brought?" ”

Qin Qiao heard Qin Hu's exclamation, and the rattan that had just been raised hung above his head, wanting to fall down.

And at this time, the second elder in the courtyard also ran out when he heard Qin Lan's voice, and saw the meat and chickens falling on the ground, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have been ironed in an ironing oven, and they were flattened.

"It's chicken, and meat! Look, old woman, it's chicken and meat! ”

"Sister Lan actually brought us chicken and meat?"

"I haven't seen meat in the past two years, old man, you hold me a little and let me see clearly, what is it?"

"Daddy, I'll pick it up and touch it!"

When Qin Qiao saw the chicken and meat, he forgot everything in his mind, and he didn't remember when the rattan in his hand fell.

I only saw a fat chicken and a piece of fat and evenly weighted meat in front of me, falling into the grass nest.

He walked up and picked up the chicken and meat, turned it over and said, "Dad, mother, this is chicken, and pork, it seems to be ...... It's salted! ”

"What? Pickled? Salted? Sun Wanniang, who usually feels tired after walking two steps, ran over with her little short legs and snatched the meat and chicken: "I'll take a look, I'll take a look, or is it salted?" ”

Sun Wanniang touched the marinated chicken and meat, and was happy, this is a big family that stores meat like this.

Qin Qiao, Sun Wanniang, and Qin He saw such a large piece of meat and chicken, and the sullenness in their hearts dissipated, and their faces smiled.

"Fortunately, we haven't eaten lunch yet, otherwise we would have to wait until the evening to taste a bite, and we wouldn't be hungry!" Qin He sighed.

"This meat is good, this meat is fat and big, but it has been salted, it is really a waste of salt, a waste of salt!" Sun Wanniang shouted regretfully: "So much salt, enough for our family to eat how many meals, all used to marinate these two pieces of meat, when will Xiaolan's family be so bad at practicing things, it's really bad to practice salt!" ”

If the salt from these cured meats can be exchanged for food, it will be enough for their family to eat for a few days, and this is a waste of things!
