Chapter 3 Confused and Became Relatives
"It should be, it should be."
Regardless of her daughter's thoughts, Wang hurriedly brought the bag of grain, and called a few women into the kitchen to discuss borrowing some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables. Some people simply nodded and went home to pick it up, while some people muttered dissatisfiedly and discussed it with their own men before going home to get their things. A few more sisters-in-law brought a few feet of red cloth from home, and simply sewed them into wedding dresses with needles and threads, and put them on them.
Chen Xiaonian and this foreigner man got married in such a hurry.
Chen Xiaonian's first crossing was a young lady, and she was poisoned by her sister within a few days. The second time he crossed into a child who was abducted and sold by a rich family, the mountain bandits couldn't get the money, so they tore up the child's ticket.
Although it is a veteran of crossing, it is the first time to get married.
In the house, Chen Xiaonian sat on one end and Jian Erlang sat on the other, neither of them spoke, and the excitement across the wall seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them.
Waiting for everyone to eat and drink enough, and hearing a noise outside, Chen Xiaonian ran out and saw the Wang family squatting on the ground washing the dishes.
Chen Xiaonian is an orphan, and his biological mother does not know who it is. Knowing that the Wang family felt sorry for the original owner, she couldn't see the Wang family working hard alone, so she walked over and snatched the dishes. "Mother, you go sit and rest."
Wang sighed, while folding his fingers to count the debts owed by his family, he sighed and counted how many meat and eggs he had borrowed from whom, and how many beans, rice and noodles he had borrowed from whom.
"If there is one more person in the family, there will be one more mouth, how will I live in the future."
Thinking about the situation at home, Chen Xiaonian said: "Mother, didn't our family still keep two acres of land? ”
Wang sighed again, "The two rotten fields in our house can't even grow weeds, what are you going to do if you keep them?" ”
Chen Xiaonian's eyes sank, "It's okay, mother, I'll go to the field tomorrow to have a look." ”
Seeing that Wang had been staring at the door of her room, she thought that she would ask about this son-in-law, but she didn't expect Wang to sigh again and hand over the dishes to Chen Xiaonian, "I left some food for the two of you in the kitchen, and I originally hid a piece of meat for you, but ......"
Wang shook his head, supported his waist and went back to the room by himself, and did not forget to tell him before entering the door: "Change your clothes and go to dinner." ”
Chen Xiaonian was indeed hungry.
She wiped her hands and went to the kitchen to see that there were only two bowls of gruel and two pieces of bread.
There must be a bride price, a dowry, and the guests must also give gift money.
But now, she has no bride price, no dowry, and no gift money.
I found a man to go home without letting people eat it, but I didn't expect to be beaten in the end.
It's okay if you have leftovers, but there is nothing left, and the people in this village are like starving ghosts and reincarnated, and they can't wait to lick the plates clean.
People are full of food and drink and leave, but what will their family eat tomorrow?
The stomach growled twice, Chen Xiaonian picked up the cake and took a bite, only to feel that it was hard enough to kill people.
She mixed some spiritual spring water into the gruel, and only after drinking it did she feel a little full. Then he took another bowl with the two loaves of bread and brought them into the room and beckoned him to come and eat.
He just glanced at it, and without saying a word, grabbed the bread and ate it.
Chen Xiaonian felt sore when he looked at it. But the cake she didn't like was hard in Erlang's mouth, as if it was delicious, and she remembered that he was blocking her in front of her today and teaching her a lesson to the Wang family, and her heart softened, and she handed over the cake in her hand, "Thank you." ”
Jian Erlang's movements paused, raised his head to look at her, reached out to take it, and continued to eat with his head bored.
I didn't see him talk from beginning to end, Chen Xiaonian thought he was timid, so he didn't talk to him again.
There was only one bed collapsed in the house, and there was no extra quilt in the house, so it was impossible to divide the bed and quilt. If the people in the village knew that she had kicked her son-in-law out of the house on her wedding night, maybe she would rush in early tomorrow morning to make trouble.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaonian put the pillow between the two of them, and lay down with his clothes together. She turned her back and secretly held a pair of scissors in her hand, if he dared to mess around, she would stab him to death first!
Erlang's porridge and cakes were all eaten, and the house was quiet, and I didn't hear him move for a long time, so I don't know what he was thinking.
Mutter......
This damn hunger!
She clutched her stomach in embarrassment, thinking that she could cover the sound, but she didn't expect her stomach to ring again, even louder than just now.
It's shameful!
There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and someone gently patted her on the shoulder.
Chen Xiaonian was so frightened that she turned over, and the scissors in her hand were just about to slash over, but she could see the things in his hand clearly, and she hurriedly put the scissors away.
Jian Erlang held the remaining half bowl of porridge, and the porridge was soaked in some torn cakes, which were full of porridge water at this time, and it was not so hard.
"For me?"
Seeing him nodding, Chen Xiaonian didn't care, just filled his stomach with the bowl for the time being.
But after eating, she remembered that this bowl of chopsticks was used by him, isn't it......
Her face turned quietly red.
before lying down, there are also people lying down on the bed next to him. Chen Xiaonian's whole body froze for a moment, and after a while, listening to the well-proportioned breathing around her, she could breathe a sigh of relief.
There are debts inside and out, and it is better to earn money as soon as possible.
She stayed up for most of the night with her eyes open, and she fell asleep when it was almost dawn. And at this time, Jian Erlang had already gotten up.
Yesterday it was difficult to lie down, but today I got up with only some discomfort. Glancing at the person who had just fallen asleep, he unbuttoned his clothes and was surprised that most of his injuries were healed!
He looked at the newlywed little girl yesterday with a deep gaze, and the sharpness in his eyes eased down after a long time.
I don't know how long it took, I heard someone talking outside in a daze, Chen Xiaonian jumped up, and when he rushed out of the door, he also copied the broom, "Who?" Who's coming again? ”
Wang called her with a smile on his face, "My son-in-law has been busy all morning, but you will be lazy." ”
That's it, and leaned into her ear and said regretfully: "It's good, it's a pity that it's a mute." ”
Chen Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the two of them were standing at the gate and repairing the gate of their house.
Jian Erlang just glanced at her and continued with what he was doing. Wang came over, snatched the broom in her hand, and slapped her on the back of her hand again, "Why did you run away when you asked you to wash the dishes yesterday?" ”
That's it, and he was full of praise for the new son-in-law who came to the door: "My uncle got up early in the morning, not only washed the dishes, but also brought water." Although he is a mute, he is good to be honest and able to do things. Remember, if your father knew, he might be so happy. ”
This man, not only did he not mess around, but he was quite sensible.
"Mother, you still wanted to get him away yesterday." She scared the Wang family, "Aren't you afraid that he is of unknown origin and is a wanted criminal by the government?" ”
Chen Xiaonian responded perfunctorily, and heard Wang's sigh again: "Uncle's physique, where is there enough to eat that bowl of porridge and a cake last night." ”
In fact, the bowl of porridge was half evenly divided by Chen Xiaonian.
"Mother, I want to go to the town today."
Wang shook his head and took out a tael of silver, "This is what my mother borrowed from the third aunt this morning, you take Erlang with you to buy him new clothes." ”
Among the women in the village, the relationship between the third aunt and the Wang family is better, but the third aunt borrowed a lot from the family when she got married yesterday, and the man in her family almost scolded people in front of her face with an ugly face.
I borrowed another tael of silver today, and I'm afraid the third aunt's life will not be easy.
With these two taels of silver, Chen Xiaonian became more and more determined to make money.
