As soon as Youjin entered the west wing, a few small radishes all came around with a "hula" sound: "Third sister!" The little beads with a small scar about an inch long on their face looked at Youjin with joy in their eyes. : "Third sister, Yue Wenwei was also stung by a hot pepper!"

"I know, do you still remember what the third sister said to you at that time? Now the third sister will tell you again, and the rest of you will also listen." He picked up Xiao Jiu, who was still staggering while walking, and brought a few The younger sister sat back on the kang, and then spoke in a slow voice, word by word: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If someone stronger than us bullies us and we are unable to fight back, we will You can think of other ways. You all have to remember that hitting a stone with an egg is the stupidest way, remember?"

Several radishes nodded earnestly: "Remember!"

There was a particularly bright light in Xiaozhu's eyes. From the moment she heard Yue Wenwei's ghost crying and wolf howl, she guessed that it was the third sister who avenged her. Now after listening to the third sister's words, she fully knew that this was what the third sister did. Yes!

Young Jin also saw Young Pearl's gleaming eyes, and secretly winked at her while the younger sisters were not paying attention. Youzhu nodded smartly, taking this as a little secret between herself and the third sister. The sisters made a fuss, and Su Shi, who was lying on the kang, listened to the movement outside, and couldn't help showing a loving smile. That's why he felt that if there were only a few of them in the family, what would be poor and miserable? At least her children don't have to be afraid every day, and don't know when they will be beaten again, right

Besides, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen brought Yue Wenwei to Dr. Ma's house, and it happened that Dr. Ma went up the mountain to collect the medicine and had not come back. After waiting for half an hour, neither standing nor standing, Yue Wenwei felt his forehead hurt. When the sweat dripped out and soaked his clothes, Doctor Ma returned slowly with the medicine basket on his back.

As soon as I heard that it was another person who was stung by a hot pepper, Dr. Ma just tried the recipe that Hui Youjin said, grabbed a few hot peppers, picked out the turquoise meridians and applied them to Yue Wenwei's wound. . Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, the redness, swelling and pain were greatly relieved. Seeing that Yue Wenwei finally stopped howling, the old Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he was all right, Doctor Ma told the two of them a few words: "If it still hurts when you go back, get some soapy water to rub it on. Now is the time when the hot pepper is alive and well, you have to take good care of the child. The sting is fierce, but it can sting people to death!"

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law originally brought their children to see the doctor. How could they have thought that they would be taught a lesson by the doctor, especially the old Chen family, where did they receive such treatment? Yuan Yuan's complexion became a little darker because his grandson was no longer suffering, and he answered vaguely, without paying the medical fee, and left with someone.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Chen's departure, Dr. Ma's daughter-in-law gave a vicious "bah": "What the heck! Don't care, you deserve to be stung! Last time, Young Jin and a few girls were so sensible, it was really bad. Bamboo shoots out!" He turned his head to Dr. Ma, who was sitting in the courtyard cutting herbs, and continued: "You deserved it if he was stung to death. It's hard to say a few words of kindness, you really think of yourself as the Queen Mother of Heaven. ?"

Doctor Ma put down the herbal medicine in his hand and sighed: "The heart of a doctor is that a patient is a patient. No matter what the character is, it is the doctor's duty to save the dead and heal the wounded. Don't talk about it, prepare some food, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine for half a day, hungry."

Lin Shi rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You can!" However, he still warmed up food for him neatly.

Because no evidence was found, and the turmoil of the last egg stealing incident made Old Chen feel a little jealous of Young Jin, Yue Wenwei had to bite the bitter fruit and swallow it in his stomach, because of the accident caused by Yang Spicy , In the end, only a shallow scar was left on Xiaozhu's face, and this storm passed quietly.

***

About six or seven miles to the west of Cuifeng Village is Liutun Town, where there is a gathering on the second and sixth day of the month, that is, on the second, sixth, twelfth, sixteenth, twenty-second and twenty-sixth days of each month. Today, in these days, most of the people in the villages around the town will bring their eggs or fresh fruits and vegetables saved by themselves to the market to exchange for money. After all, they are all produced in their own fields.

Now that the Yue family has spent a large amount of money, the old Chen family has also begun to exchange the eggs saved at home for the money. The day after tomorrow will be twenty-six, and on that day, I can get some money from the eggs and insoles I made at home, so I can subsidize it a little bit.”

Xiao Chen nodded: "Yes, don't worry." Thinking of the eggs at home, the insoles made by the old Chen, and some gadgets that were beaten, it should be possible to exchange a lot of money, Xiao Chen. I started to wonder how much I could make here.

Old Chen glanced at Xiao Chen and knew what she was thinking about. She took a chopstick and stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it. She looked up at Xiao Chen lightly and said, "I'll go with you the day after tomorrow. "In the past, the family's situation was better, and since Xiao Chen was her own niece, it didn't matter to her to draw some money from it, but now that there is a shortage of money at home, how could she still give the money to others in vain? Not even if this person is his own daughter-in-law and niece!

Xiao Chen was a little confused by the sudden move of the old Chen, but he reacted immediately: "Mother! This is a long way to go, why are you bothering? I'm sure I can sell you something for a good price! "He coaxed Old Chen with a smile on his face, and was so nervous in his heart that he was afraid that Old Chen would go to the market with him.

But how could her careful thinking be able to hide from Old Chen, an old fox who has been practicing for many years? The matter of going to the market was so decided by Mr. Chen: "You don't have to think about all those extravagant thoughts, it's just decided, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Chen was full of unhappiness, but Young Jin, who was sitting beside him eating quietly, was extremely happy. In the past, the Su family was reluctant to leave the Yue family, and she had no chance to go to the market, but now that the Su family has the heart to leave the Yue family, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of money.

But the old Chen family and the little Chen family are staring at each other. She has too many things to do every day. Now the old Chen family and the little Chen family are going to the market together. Isn't that just creating an opportunity for herself to make private money?

That night, before Yue Changlu came back, Young Jin whispered with Su's family: "Mother, if we want to leave Yue's house, then we must have money, and you need to change my clothes for me. Yes."

The method that Young Jin thought of was to catch some pheasants and hares to exchange for some money. Now is the golden autumn season, and the Cuifeng Mountains are continuous. Naturally, pheasants and hares above are also indispensable. Young Jin can do it naturally.

When Su shi heard that she wanted to make money, she couldn't help but be a little worried: "How can you make money?" If she wanted to catch up with her daughter, Su shi would definitely not agree.

Young Jin leaned over and whispered: "Mother forgot, I will catch pheasants. I will go to the mountains in the next two days. Even if I catch a pheasant and a hare, I can exchange some money, right? When the aunt is not at home, if we don’t seize the opportunity to save some money, how will we live when we are away from Yue’s house?”

Hearing what her daughter said, Su Shi couldn't help but her eyes were slightly red, and she was worried: "Jin'er, why don't we leave?" The Cuifeng Mountain was still infested with worms in the early years. If this is true for the daughter What if you put your life on the line

"Mother, just listen to the third sister!" Seeing Young Jin go in and talk to the Su family, the curious Young Pearl first eavesdropped on herself, and then beckoned for Young Yin and Young Treasure. Hearing that the third sister said that she was going to take everyone away from the Yue family, all three sisters had a surprise in their eyes. But when her mother said she didn't want to leave, Xiaozhu, who was more anxious, lifted the curtain and rushed in.

When Youyin Youbao saw that Youzhu rushed in first, the two of them looked at each other and went in: "Mother, just listen to the third sister!"

Su Shi didn't expect that her daughters were so anxious to escape from Yue's house, so she couldn't help but persuade one or two: "You guys are still young, but you know that if we leave Yue's house, it will be a problem if we don't have enough food and clothing. It's a matter of fact, we are all female class, if it's being bullied, what can we do?"

After listening to Su Shi's words, the softer Young Silver Young Treasure showed a somewhat hesitant expression on his face. But Xiaozhu, who has a neat temperament, doesn't think so: "Mother, if we leave Yue's house, I can protect everyone with the third sister, but if we stay at Yue's house, can we really live well? Daddy? We only know how to beat us, we don’t have enough to eat and don’t wear warm clothes at Yue’s house, and we have to call people to drink and drink, which is worse than the wild dogs wandering in the village outside!” He took a deep look at the Su family, and then said quietly: "If so, I might as well be a wild dog!"

After listening to Xiaozhu's words, she glanced at Xiaoyin Youbao, whose eyes became firm, and Su Shi was surprised to find that her daughters had grown up enough to distinguish between good and bad. age. Only then did Mrs. Su feel that she couldn't even compare to her own daughters. The daughters were still able to make up for it, but if they were broken, they would break.

Su shi, whose eyes were slightly red, had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and after a while, she nodded heavily: "Okay, this time, mother will listen to you."

"Really!" The three little girls happily rushed to Su's bed, and happily stretched out their little hands to gently touch Su's belly: "Mother is so nice!"

You Jin was also relieved. It seemed that the Su family was not hopeless. As long as she had these children in her heart, the possibility of leaving the Yue family would be increased by 10%.

The Su family also agreed that Young Jin would help her change a set of clothes into large men's clothes. The next night, Young Jin changed her clothes and put on a little gray hat, just like a skinny boy from a farm family. , Young Jin is very satisfied with this kind of dress: "It's done, then I will dress like this to go to the market the day after tomorrow."
