And the seven sisters, who were hiding in the west wing and secretly eating eggs brought back by the young gold, didn't know that bad luck had come quietly. Pack something wrapped in a large leaf.
After Young Yin took the egg that Young Jin handed in, Young Jin went back to the main entrance of the yard again, and returned to the west wing from the outside. Several younger sisters have long been staring at the green package on the kang table, and when they heard the door opening, they all looked at Young Jin who walked in: "Sister!"
You Jin also got on the kang, and carefully opened the straw rope wrapped with eggs in the expectant eyes of the six sisters. Fortunately, before he entered the house, Fu Zhixin hid the eggs under a low bush outside the west wing. I just came back, otherwise if I was found by the old goddess of the old Chen family, it would be a trivial matter if I couldn’t eat eggs, and I would be at a loss if I was beaten again.
Su Shi also sat aside and watched as the leaves opened by her daughter actually contained eight eggs and a dozen bird eggs. She couldn't help but exclaim with some worry: "Jin'er, did you enter the deep mountains? How did you find this place? So many wild eggs?" With so many people coming and going every day at the foot of the mountain, where are there so many eggs? The daughter must have entered the deep mountains.
The Su family usually goes up the mountain to find some eggs and prey to supplement the bodies of her sisters. She also knew how many daughters her husband didn't like, so she turned a blind eye to help Young Jin and the others to hide from Yue Changlu.
"No, I just went to the edge of the deep mountain and never went in." You Jin distributed one egg and one bird egg to each sister, and another egg and two bird eggs to the Su family, and responded with a smile, "Mother fast. Let's eat some, it's still a little warm now."
Seeing that the sister said it was okay to eat, the sisters took the eggs and knocked a crack on the table, and then put the peeled egg shells into the leaves that had wrapped the eggs. Egg shells were smuggled out and thrown away.
Xiao Jiu, whose fever has subsided a lot, also ate the fragrant wild eggs in small bites: "It's delicious!" But an egg is only that big, but it will be eaten in a while. All the sisters ate so fragrantly that they felt their saliva drooling down again. I really wanted to eat another one!
Su Shi also saw Xiao Jiu's greedy appearance, so she wanted to put half of the eggs left in her hand into Xiao Jiu's hands, but she was stopped by Xiao Jin before she could put it in: "Mother is pregnant now, she should make up for it more. , I'll give my share to Xiao Jiu." After that, he put more than half of the eggs left in his hand into Xiao Jiu's hand: "Eat it."
"Thank you Sanjie!" Xiao Jiu happily held the egg that Youjin had stuffed and ate it in small bites, and said to herself, "It would be great if you could have eggs to eat every day! "In front of Youjin, there are Youting and Youhe who are in the big room and the third room, so Youjin travels three times at home.
Hearing Xiao Jiu's unrestrained desire, the smile on Su Shi's face gradually dimmed, and then he sighed slightly: "It's all because of my mother's failure to live up to my expectations and my inability to have a son, that's why you all follow me. suffer together."
Seeing Su Shi's self-reproach, Young Jin shoved the remaining small bite of eggs into his mouth and finished it, and then said, "Don't blame mother, if Xiao Jiu wants to eat eggs, I will look for it more in the future. You can definitely find it, Cuifeng Mountain is so big, and there is no shortage of birds and beasts." Then he turned his head and said to Xiao Jiu in a low voice, "But Xiao Jiu must remember that he can't tell others that he has eaten eggs, not even his father. Otherwise, there will be no eggs to eat in the future!"
Hearing what her sister said, Xiao Jiu nodded earnestly and forcefully: "Yeah! I won't tell anyone!" Several younger sisters have been taught that they can't tell others that they secretly ate the baked eggs brought back by Young Jin for the first time. When there is something to eat, the sisters all remember it in their bones. Although the family is better than others, they can eat meat once in half a month, but they can't eat a piece of meat once. There will be no eggs and chicken legs to eat, and the sisters are all gnashing their teeth, and no one will say anything.
Seeing that several daughters are so defensive about their husbands and parents-in-law, Su can't help but be a little worried. After all, they are a family. In the long run, will several daughters not be close to the family
Su's worried appearance also fell into You Jin's eyes, and You Jin said to her: "Mother, it's not that my daughter is not filial, but the situation at home is much better than the people in the village, but look at us, Xiao Qi. The clothes I wear are the ones I used to wear, and I picked up the ones that the eldest sister didn’t want. How many years have they been patched and worn? Look at the children of the uncle’s third uncle’s family, which clothes have patches on them?”
The eldest sister in Youjin’s mouth is Youting from the big room. The big room is favored because Xiao Chen is the niece of the old Chen’s family. In addition, there are two brothers who are studying in the county school and taking the imperial examinations, the old man. She is also eccentric to the point of being eccentric. Nowadays, You Ting wears fine cotton clothes, unlike their family who still wears shabby coarse cotton and burlap clothes.
In fact, how could the Su family not know the eccentricity of the in-laws? It's just that she has a submissive personality since she was a child, and has been filial piety since she was married to the Yue family for more than ten years. In the face of eccentric in-laws, aggressive brothers and sisters, and her husband who beats her from time to time, she has no strong external support. , what can a helpless woman do? It's just self-hypnosis.
Thinking of these troublesome things at home, Su Shi couldn't eat, so he put the two unfinished eggs back on the table: "Let's eat it for Xiao Wu Xiao Liu."
Although the twins, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, were only under eight years old, they were already very sensible. Seeing that Mrs. Su gave them the eggs, they all shook their heads: "It's for the mother, there is a little brother in the mother's belly, so I want more. eat!"
Seeing the two daughters being so sensible, Su's heart was also relieved a lot. She smiled and touched the heads of the two daughters, and slowly ate the rest of the eggs under the urging of the daughters.
After everyone finished eating, Young Jin gathered the eggshells together, wrapped the leaves tightly with the straw rope, threw the eggshells out of the window, and then swaggered out of the house through the front door.
When no one was paying attention, Youjin threw the eggshells and leaves into the Cuifeng River. Watching the eggshells drift with the water until they disappeared, Youjin clapped her hands and went home, in front of the villagers. After cheating on the old Chen family and saving the eggs, You Jin was in a very good mood at the moment, humming a little song out of tune and jumping home.
***
However, Young Jin's good mood failed to stay overnight. During dinner, Mrs. Chen, who had always firmly grasped the power of sharing meals, was actually absent, lying on the bed humming without even having dinner, and muttering: "The money-losing goods of the prodigal... Really. It's really the disaster star of our Laoyue family!"
The two brothers, who work in the town every day, are unknown. After dinner, they heard that the old lady was ill, so they went to the main room to see the old Chen. Yue Changlu listened to her old lady scolding "losing money" or something. Yes, I guessed a few points in my heart. It must be the few money-losing goods in my room who made the mother angry again. They sat straight on the long stool by the kang with a very ugly expression on their faces.
"Mother! Why are you not feeling well to tell your sons! It's time for your son to ask for a husband!" The voice of the elder Yue Changfu, who was sitting beside the kang, was full of anxiety, as if he wanted to fall ill.
When Yue Changlu heard what his eldest brother said, he suddenly stood up: "I'm going to invite Doctor Ma to come!"
Seeing that it was almost time for the fire, Mrs. Chen hurriedly gave a wink to Mrs. Chen who was standing by to support him. Mrs. Chen understood, and hurriedly stopped Yue Changlu: "Second uncle, wait a moment, in fact, my mother is not sick, but by you. Family Young Jin is angry!"
Seeing that the two brothers were looking over, Xiao Chen told the two of what happened this afternoon: "It's like this, my mother dazzled her eyes and counted the eggs wrong, so she asked if Young Jin took it. It wasn't a big deal at first, but Young Jin doesn't know who he looks like, he has such a big temper, he even asked someone to invite Li Zheng to come over, and even contradicted his mother, the mother is angry!"
After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Yue Changlu's face was as black as it was about dripping ink: "I'll go and bring that loser over here to apologize to my mother!" After speaking, he threw the curtain angrily and went out to Went to the west wing.
Just after washing the feet of a few younger sisters, You Jin led them to talk on the kang, but Yue Changlu, who kicked the door open, broke the warmth of the room: "You loser who eats my moon and wears my moon. Damn, how dare you make your milk sick!" Yue Changlu, who was full of anger, slapped Young Jin's head crookedly with a slap, "I must beat you to death today!"
Young Jin felt something was wrong just now when he was having dinner. He thought it was over, but he never thought that Old Chen had left behind and let Yue Changlu come to deal with him. It can really be said that he had good intentions. The face that was slapped crooked by Yue Changlu turned slightly, and a red and swollen slap print appeared on the thin little face. Young Jin pressed his tongue against the side of the slapped cheek and knew that there was no three. In five days, the swelling did not go away.
After comforting a few younger sisters, he got off the kang and put on his shoes: "Dad wants to beat him and scold him outside, don't scare mother and a few younger sisters." After saying that, he walked out with his waist straight. Yue Changlu saw that she was like this He was not in a hurry, but he was extremely unhappy. As soon as he walked out of the west wing, he kicked You Jin: "I told you to be a cheap girl, and you dare to call Lizheng for stealing eggs from the house!"
Young Jin reacted quickly after being kicked to the ground. Although Yue Changlu's movements had not stopped, Young Jin nimbly dodged several heavy attacks. Although he was hit a few times, he also avoided attacking the internal organs. Local, the flesh hurts for two or three days and it's fine.
Hearing the movement outside, Su hurriedly came out of the room, and when Yue Changlu stopped, he stopped directly in front of Young Jin: "Head of the family, if you want to hit me, hit me, Young Jin is still young!"
Young Jin saw that the Su family had to protect herself despite her nearly five-month-old belly, and her heart was slightly warmed. She had no father or mother in her previous life, and only had a distant uncle, but she was only estranged and polite. Although the Su family was weak, she was If you really love yourself and a few younger sisters, you have to protect them just because of this.
Seeing that she was holding him back, Yue Changlu snorted angrily: "Don't think that I am afraid of you because of your big belly. If you don't give birth to a son again, I will not kill you!" After speaking, he went to the main room angrily, leaving behind only the tearful Su Shi and the dusty Young Jin.
Seeing her crying bitterly, You Jin said lightly, "What's the use of just crying? Does my mother really want to live like this for a lifetime?" Then she vigorously helped the Su family back to the room.
This is not the first time that You Jin has told Su Shi. After Su Shi gave birth to Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, and was beaten for the first time by Yue Changlu before her confinement, Xiao Jin was only three years old at that time. She said that to her when no one was around, and it shocked her a lot.
"What else can I do if it's not like this..." With a faint sigh, Su shi said sadly. Yes, she is such a poor woman that her parents' family doesn't care whether her husband's family loves her or not. Where can she go after leaving Yue's family? Suffering in the Yue family is one thing, at least it can make a few daughters grow up well, right? Ugh... ...
