You Lanmei was so frightened that she pulled her hand back, shook her head in panic and said, "No, you can't go to her!" If I her off, I'll take out my daughter's anger. My daughter is still young, I can resist the fight, my daughter can't bear it, she will beat my daughter to death! ”

"What? Still beating your daughter? How old is your daughter! Or is it her own granddaughter, how can she do it? ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus was so angry that her face was flushed, and she said angrily: "If you are weak again and again, you will only be manipulated by others, and everyone will have to make inch." If you don't be tougher, others will only bully you even more! Why are you so brainless that you won't have to fight with her? You young man, why can't you fight an old woman! ”

You Lanmei could only shake her head and cry bitterly: "I don't know what to do, I really can't stand it!" I have to cook, wash, feed the chickens and ducks when I go home every day, I can't sleep until late at night, and I have to get up early in the morning to serve the family, and she is not satisfied! One moment let me steal eggs, another let me steal chickens, ducks and goose seedlings, and if I don't do it, you will beat me. Wang Gangqiang will only make me obedient, but no matter how obedient I am, his mother is not satisfied, and he still wants to beat and scold me! ”

"Some people are just born bad and never satisfied."

Chi Xi said lightly: "If you can't bear it, you should plan more for yourself." As I said, if you don't stand up yourself, no matter how much others say, it's useless. ”

"But I'm ...... I don't know what to do to stand up. ”

You Lanmei's eyes flashed with tears, she raised her watery eyes and looked at Chixi with hope, and asked in a low voice, "Chixi, can you teach me?" You are capable and kind to you, how did you do that? You teach me! Your mother-in-law is also kind to you, and loves you as a daughter, can you teach me how to make my mother-in-law and father-in-law like you? ”

"My mother-in-law and father-in-law are good to me because they are good people. Because they are good, I am good to them too. People are mutual, only when both parties pay and consider each other, can they be happy for a long time. ”

Chi Xi sighed lightly and said: "Good people, even if they don't like you, they can't be bad, and bad people, even if they like you again, will inevitably hurt you." I said, if you are in need, I will help you, if you choose to live like this, I will not interfere with you, but whether it is pain or pain, you have to bear it alone. ”

You Lanmei collapsed and squatted down, covering her face with her hands, crying bitterly, Sister-in-law Osmanthus sighed with a complicated face, Chixi squatted down, patted her shoulder, and whispered: "You are still young now, there are still long years to pass in the future, your life should not be spent in abuse and beatings and pain." ”

You Lanmei turned her head, and threw herself into Chi Xi's arms, crying unstoppably, Chi Xi gently patted her back, hugged her and comforted her.

Tian Cuihe and Xi Dazhuang's mother and son sat in the hall, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Tian Cuihe raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, lowered her red eyes, and whispered: "There are nine times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life, my mother sees that you have lived more and more with Xiaoxi in the past few years, so I don't want to worry about the past anymore." For my mother, I know that you have lived the easiest days of your life in the past few years, and you don't have to force yourself to fall into the quagmire you once had. As long as you're good with the creek, it's better than anything else. ”

Her life has been unable to withstand the twists and turns, her husband, son and daughter have died too much, and now only this little son and daughter-in-law can support her to live.

For the rest of her life, she never wanted to worry about it again.

Xi Dazhuang was silent for a long time before he nodded lightly and said in a steady voice: "Okay, I know." They don't know what's wrong, do you want to go and see it? ”

They all heard the cry, but the person who cried was not his daughter-in-law, and Xi Dazhuang didn't care.

But he knows his mother too well.

If you don't find something for her to do, you should be cranky and sad.

Tian Cuihe hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears on his face, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look." It's not early, so you can rest and get busy! ”

"My son got it."

As soon as Xi Dazhuang stood up and walked out of the house, Su Mingfu stood outside the courtyard and waved at him, grinning honestly: "Xi Dazhuang, I'm here, have you eaten?" When are we going to work? ”

Su Mingfu's emotions were very excited, and he was full of energy, and he couldn't wait to wave the hoe on his shoulder to dig an acre of land first!

Xi Dazhuang walked out with a firewood knife and said with a faint expression: "Go and chop wood." ”

"Huh?"

Su Mingfu's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Aren't we going to dig up herbs?" I used to go to the mountains to find food, and I have been to many places, and I know that some places have a lot of herbs. If we don't dig it, we'll die in the fall. ”

Xi Dazhuang said lightly: "If you are free, go dig it up, wash it and dry it and send it to me, and I will give you three pennies and a catty." ”

"A pound of three pennies?"

Su Mingfu couldn't believe it at all, he opened his mouth wide, and repeatedly confirmed: "Are you sure you are not wrong, a pound of three pennies?" Either way? ”

"All I need is three pennies and one pound, no matter the variety, but you have to classify, wash and dry it for me, otherwise I don't want it."

Xi Dazhuang said lightly: "It is difficult to find some precious medicinal materials, so I will give some more money." If you encounter it, bring it back to me, and if you don't encounter it, you don't have to look for it. ”

Su Mingfu felt that he was stunned by the sudden good news, and he was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly nodded, and smiled happily: "Okay, okay, I know, I'll go and dig up those medicinal materials tomorrow and deal with them." ”

He scratched the back of his head and asked with a smile, "Can I take my family to dig together?" I promise to dispose of the herbs according to your requirements, I have a lot of people in my family, and nothing else may work, but it is still possible to dig herbs. ”

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "As long as it is dealt with, it will be done." ”

As long as it is what he needs, as long as it is handled up to the requirements, he is willing to accept it.

Su Mingfu thanked Dai De: "Xi Dazhuang, thank you." The people in the village said that you were vicious and difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect you to be so good, and the people in the village had too much misunderstanding of you before. ”

Xi Dazhuang didn't care if those people misunderstood him at all, he raised his feet and walked forward without saying a word, and Su Mingfu followed happily.

"Why are you crying again?"

Tian Cuihe wiped away her tears, and after cleaning it up, she raised her feet and walked into the egg room, and saw Chixi and You Lanmei hugging each other at a glance.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a long sigh: "This girl's mind can't turn around, and she is about to be bullied to death by her black-hearted mother-in-law, and there is no way to do it, she only knows how to cry and endure, she is really sad to death." She couldn't listen to what Xiaoxi said, her arms were full of wounds and scars, many places were suppurated and sores, and she couldn't hold her eggs steadily. If this continues, sooner or later people will die. ”

It's not that Tian Cuihe hasn't seen pickled things, but there are really a few people like You Lanmei who are beaten and scolded like this and don't want to protect themselves.

"I agree with Creek."

Tian Cuihe said lightly: "Life is lived by oneself, and all the hardships must be borne by oneself, and no one else can replace it." If she doesn't want to live like this anymore, she has to find a way to change. I have seen many daughters-in-law who have been tortured to death by evil mothers-in-law, who have dug a pit and buried them in a roll of straw mats, and married their sons in less than a month. I've also seen people who have risen up against it, succeeded and made money for themselves. How to do it can only depend on herself. ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus sighed helplessly: "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage." But she has no life in that family, if she is not persuaded to persuade her, will it be difficult to see her die? But she just doesn't listen to persuasion! ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus also had a lot of things that she couldn't figure out before, and she also had a weak personality and could not be bullied, and she didn't dare to come out when she was bullied, but she resisted under the persuasion of Tian Cuihe, and others didn't dare to provoke her too much.

As the saying goes: people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

Not without reason.
