Chapter 32: The second room of the troubled Yu family
It has only been two days since he walked on his legs, and the big man of the Yu family, who has always been pampered, didn't want to move when he was lying on the ground.
Yu Luo and them are not much better, even if they used to live like people in the Hou Mansion, but at least they have not done heavy work.
At the end of the day, a family of three had blood blisters on their feet.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, there is a river here, although it is a little windy at night, but the water is convenient. In the past, when we were busy with farming, we would boil hot water to burn our feet when we worked in the fields, and you rested, I will help you boil some hot water, and later you will use a crockpot to bubble, which can relieve a lot of fatigue. ”
As soon as they sat down to rest, the family of three was so tired that they didn't even want to cook, so Wang Ying came up and took a clay basin to go to the river to fetch water and boil water for them to soak their feet.
Seeing Wang Ying so attentive, although she knew that she was to repay Ye Jiamei for saving her life, everyone was just as tired after a day's journey, Ye Jiamei hurriedly grabbed her arm.
"Don't be so polite, you're tired too, you don't have to worry about us, let's rest for a while, go fetch water by yourself, you just take care of your family."
Seeing that Ye Jiamei was polite to herself, Wang Ying shook her head with a smile, "We countrymen often walk long distances, walking fifty miles a day, that's also a common thing, it doesn't matter, second sister-in-law, you just rest." ”
Saying that, Wang Ying broke free from Ye Jiamei's shackles, after all, she was used to farm work, and Ye Jiamei was not as strong as her at all.
As soon as Wang Ying went to the river, Yu Yongcai came over with a pile of firewood, "Second brother and sister-in-law, don't go and pick up firewood, I'll find you firewood on this road in the future." ”
"Yes, second brother and sister-in-law, I will cook your meals for you in the future, and I also found a handful of wild vegetables just now, so I will cook them for you."
As soon as Yu Yongcai's firewood was put down, Yu Qiao'er, who was carrying a bag of wild vegetables in her prison uniform, also ran to the place where they were resting and showed them the wild vegetables.
Looking at such an enthusiastic Yu family's three rooms, Yu Luo's family of three didn't know what to do!
Although Ye Jiamei saved the two children in the third room, everyone is living a hard life, and they are still dragging such a tired body to serve their family of three, how can the three of them be happy?
"You guys also work hard, you really don't have to take care of us, there are three of us, and we can do it soon."
Yu Haojie got up and looked at the brother and sister with embarrassment, and at this time, Wang Ying also returned to them with a basin of river water.
"Master, you build a stove fire for the second brother and them, and I will boil the water for them, and then say, it will be windy this night, and the stove will be higher, so as not to be blown out by the wind."
Watching the three of them walk around a family of three, the people in the second room looked disdainful.
"Isn't that Yu Haojie just a concubine? Even if his daughter-in-law knows how to heal and saves the two children in the third room, he doesn't need to rush to pat them like this, right? ”
After Liu Lan finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh for a while before she raised her eyes to look at her daughter, "What are you still doing in a daze?" If you don't go to pick up firewood and look for wild vegetables, the family in the third room can't stop, and they will finish picking up the wild vegetables and firewood later. ”
Yu Xiangxiang was only sixteen years old, and she was tired and had to get up and go to collect firewood obediently and obediently.
"We all know that firewood and wild vegetables are precious, what are you doing resting this lazy woman? You guys, don't all go yet! ”
Liu Lan, who had just finished being a mother, turned around and faced her mother-in-law's old face full of wrinkles, and before she could speak, her mother-in-law Mu Chunfang went directly to her and her concubine, Zhang Fen and a few small ones, just commanded sharply.
Seeing this, Liu Lan quietly stretched out her hand, twisted it on her husband Yu Dahai's waist, and turned around in pain so painfully that Yu Dahai glared at her!
"What? Why are you pinching me, mother-in-law? If you don't listen to your mother, hurry up and take the children to collect firewood, there are the most people in our second room, and we must use a lot of firewood, so don't go quickly! ”
Liu Lan was speechless!
She really didn't want to move, before her exile, after she married her daughter-in-law, when did she do these jobs?
In addition, she has a diligent daughter, and she has not done housework for a long time.
is also because of this, when she was exiled, she had already developed a lazy bone, and now let her walk half a night in the mountains and rush dozens of miles to work, it really costs her life!
"You rest, take care of the children, just go and collect firewood."
was about to complain a few words to her husband, but Liu Lan saw his brother-in-law Yu Shanhe and said to her with concern.
Yu Shanhe's distressed daughter-in-law and children's eyes made Liu Lan so envious and jealous!
"Where are you going! You're a big man, what are you doing when you marry a daughter-in-law and come back? If you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, you also feel sorry for your wife and me. ”
Mu Chunfang's words fell, and she beckoned to Yu Shanhe, "Come here, rub my leg for my mother, this leg is really about to break!" Xiaogang, you go to the river to fetch water and come back to boil it, and your grandfather and I will soak our feet later, otherwise Ming'er won't be able to walk at all. ”
Yu Shanhe's daughter-in-law, Zhang Fen, heard the words of Mu Chunfang's mother-in-law, and had to endure her exhaustion, get up like an angry little daughter-in-law, carry a basket, and carry the chains on her feet, to find wild vegetables.
Their twelve-year-old son, Yu Xiaogang, also had to follow the instructions of his grandmother, Mu Chunfang, to pick up a clay pot and go to the river to fetch water.
Yu Shanhe also had to listen to his mother's words, obediently went to Mu Chunfang's side, and pinched their shoulders and beat their backs for the old couple.
"Grandma, my father and mother are tired too. Why do you only know to call my father, you are afraid that you will not be able to walk tomorrow, why are you not afraid that my father and mother will not be able to walk? My father and mother still have to serve you, find firewood, and find food, and you're not so old that you can't do anything, right? ”
Looking at the family who was called, Yu Shanhe's seven-year-old daughter couldn't help but pout, and said to Mu Chunfang dissatisfied.
As soon as these words came out, it was like stabbing a honeycomb, which suddenly made Mu Chunfang's anger that had been suffocated all the way, and bombarded the little girl directly!
"You dead girl, only seven years old, so sharp-toothed, sharp-toothed, I knew that before exile, I would sell your dead girl to human teeth, at least you can exchange a few taels of silver, buy a little food on the road.
Look at what you can endure, the old lady has no strength today, otherwise she will definitely whip you with a big mouth! ”
Yu Xiuxiu, who was scolded, pursed her lips and ran towards the river.
I heard that there are water ghosts by the river, and she has to keep an eye on her eldest brother, so that she can't let the eldest brother be dragged into the river by the water ghosts!
"Ahh Help me! ”
Just when everyone was relaxing and planning to rest for the night, Yu Xiuxiu's cry by the river in the distance sounded, which frightened everyone!
