"Eat! Eat! Eat!! This is taking medicine and eating meat again! I can't make it through? Provoking a whole body of complaints! My—god—why don’t you accept me as an old woman—so you won’t be in the way of some people’s eyes..." Mrs. Zhang sat on the kang, patted her legs and said in a loud voice. , crying and howling for a long time, but half a tear was gone.
This kind of drama will be played every now and then in Yu's house. Yu Hai, exhausted physically and mentally, has no energy to cooperate with her "performance". He silently put down the soup bowl in his hand, turned around and left the room, his back was full of bleakness and heaviness.
As soon as he went out, Mrs. Zhang fell silent like a record with the power turned off. She frowned tightly, her inverted triangular eyes fixedly stared at the door, and the corners of her mouth curved downward.
Seeing that the broth in Old Yu's hand was finished, she wanted to bring another bowl, so she hurriedly grabbed the soup bowl, and while eating it, she said to Old Yu: "Father, why do I feel that my second son is very nervous today?" Is something wrong? Is this a rebellion?"
"What rebellion is not rebellion? If your daughter is seriously ill, and the parents don't pay for it and make trouble, you have a bad temper? Don't pretend that everyone else has no temper. When the second child is stubborn, Three cows can't be pulled back!"
Old Yu wiped his mouth eagerly, smacking the smell of badger meat. Obviously there is someone who can hunt in the family, but he can't taste any meat for several months, what a day!
"What are you talking about? Whose daughter is so sick? My daughter is not your daughter! How can you curse your own daughter? Hurry up and give me a few mouthfuls on the ground! Don't blame the Bodhisattva, he slipped out of the mouth for a while, don't blame it... "Ms. Zhang folded her palms together in a godly way and bowed to her left and right.
When sleeping, Mrs. Zhang turned upside down on the Kang like pancakes, unable to fall asleep no matter what. She smacked the grunting old Yu, and said worriedly: "Old man, you said the second girl, this time I went to the town to be treated by a doctor from Tongrentang, and I took so many medicines and spent a lot of money." Bar?"
Old Yu turned over impatiently, and said in a low voice, "I'm not a doctor at Tongrentang, I don't know if it's expensive or not! What are you talking about, if you don't sleep, others have to sleep! I will give you a penny out of your hand!"
Mrs. Zhang patted him hard, and said, "Why didn't the money come out of my hand? I just went out to have a look. The prey caught by the second brother today is quite a lot, at least a few hundred cash. If there is no one outside If you owe money, don’t you have to hand over all the money for selling prey to me?”
Looking at piles of prey, they are all white money! Mrs. Zhang's heart is like a cat, scratching and scratching.
Old Yu was angry, so he sat up straight up, glared at her with his padded jacket on, and said, "Who is responsible for today's incident? If it wasn't for your bad temper, which frightened the child, would someone borrow money from the boss?" What? When a grandma has money in her hands, but she just ignores her seriously ill child, where do you want my old face to go? How can I go out in the future?"
"What's the matter? Who's talking behind your back, see if I don't scold you! With this old face of yours, is there still money to be worth? How can Saner's future be worth much?" Mrs. Zhang froze and came up with a set of fallacies.
"Third son's future! I think, sooner or later the third son's future will be ruined by you, a mother who has failed to succeed and failed!!" Old Yu lay down again angrily.
Mrs. Zhang jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and pulled the quilt on Lao Yu's head vigorously, patted and spanked, and cursed: "You old man! Curse After the end, the daughter cursed the son again! How come Saner's future is ruined in my hands? If you don't explain it clearly to me, don't want to sleep today!!"
"You're in the middle of the night, why are you going crazy?" Old Yu looked at Zhang's crazy woman, and ignored everything, and timidly blocked her beating with his hands.
"Damn old man! I've seen through it a long time ago. Only Zhu Xiuyun's children are your treasures. We, Xiaobo and Caidie, are not the seeds of your old Yu's family? For a half-dead girl, you are cursing your daughter's serious illness. It is the future of the cursed son. Going forward, will there be a way for our mothers to survive in this family?" Mrs. Zhang was serious this time, tearing at Lao Yu's head and crying endlessly.
The old Yutou, who has always been taciturn, is no match for her, so she can only be beaten and scolded while covering her head with a quilt.
In the west room next door, the third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, listened to the movement, frowned, patted her son who was not sleeping well, and said to Yu Bo who was reading at night with the lamp on:
"Look, it's starting to quarrel again! Your mother doesn't quarrel two or three times a day, doesn't she feel uncomfortable? With such arguing, you can still read? As I said, clean up tomorrow, we still Go back to the town and come back in the 27th or 8th year."
"Oh! Forget it. It's cold, and the child is young, so don't toss back and forth. I'll tell Mom tomorrow, let's stop the New Year's Eve!" Yu Bo threw down the book irritably, and sat next to Mrs. Zhao Next, he took her warm white and tender hand, and was about to bring her into his arms.
Zhao cast a sideways glance at him coquettishly, gently pushed the person away, and said, "Be careful not to let the neighbors hear you, or you should say that I hooked you up and didn't learn well, which delayed your study."
In the light, Zhao's beauty is like a flower, her charming eyes are like silk, Yu Bo's heart trembles, he lowers his head to hold the pink lips, and holds the soft plumpness with the bottom of his hand... Just when the emotion is moving, who is next to her? The guy groaned a few times, and the two suddenly separated.
Zhao's cheeks were flushed, she gave her husband a hard look, and picked up her son to pee. Suddenly recalling the scene in the morning, he sighed softly and said:
"Yu Lang, it's not that I'm talking about the rights and wrongs of my parents-in-law. What happened today, your mother has done too much. Human life is at stake, and a grandma is so heartless that she doesn't want to spend money to see her granddaughter who is seriously ill. That's a real life One life!"
"Oh... don't blame my mother. The doctor said that Xiaocao would not grow up as soon as Xiaocao was born. In the past few years, she has spent a lot of money on her. My mother is also doing it for me, for the future!" The reason is that she doesn't have much affection for this little niece.
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Yu Lang, you don't dare to say that outside. Think about it, for the sake of your uncle's future, you actually put your niece's life in vain. If such words spread, you will be admitted as a scholar." Juren, there is no further possibility. Scholars are most afraid of stains on their bodies."
"This...how can this be done? As the saying goes: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. I'm afraid the news that the second brother went to the uncle's house to borrow money has already spread in the village..."
Yu Hai still respects and trusts the lady who comes from a scholar's family. Hearing this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out all over his body, and he kept rubbing his hands, not knowing what to do.
"Don't worry, let me think about it..." Mrs. Zhao lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked at her husband and said, "Tomorrow, go and send some money to the second brother, and ask him to pay back the account of the uncle's family first... Forget it, Let me go! Go to sleep, I will definitely take care of things for you tomorrow."
Yu Bo glanced at his precious son and saw that he was sleeping peacefully. He quickly hugged his wife's weak body, kissed her hard on the neck, and said, "My good lady is really my good wife. If I can marry you, It's really lucky for three lives... "
The next day, the warm winter sun sprinkled its brilliance to its heart's content, which was a rare good weather. When Yu Hai got up and went to the forest to check the nooses he had laid yesterday, and sold the prey he harvested in the town, Yu Xiaocao could only lie on the bed and pretend to be a patient.
Pretending to be sick is also a technical job, she regretted it a little. Tell Xiaolian to hold the money for selling the prey in her hands, and never let the main house and the east house know how much money they have sold, etc...
Mrs. Liu decocted the medicine in front of the door, brought it in and prepared to cool it before drinking it. Yesterday, the father and daughter took their own initiative and spent nearly a tael of silver on a few medicines for her, which made her feel very distressed. All the drugs were caught, and they couldn't come back without drinking money. The decoction can be made in the name of a daughter, and the medicine has to be drunk secretly. Alas, when will such days end!
After drinking the medicine, Mrs. Liu took the dirty laundry and went to the pool at the foot of the mountain to break the ice and wash the clothes. Xiaoshitou sat on the kang with the little roe deer in his arms, chatting with the second sister.
At this time, sister-in-law Yu Caidie looked around for a while before sneaking into the west room quietly. She was holding a bowl of hot sugar water with a poached egg in it.
Yu Caidie saw her little niece sitting listlessly on the kang (actually she was sitting bored), and said softly, "Xiaocao, sister-in-law boiled eggs in sugar water, eat them while they are hot."
Yu Xiaocao glanced into the bowl and knew that every three days before my aunt's menstrual period, grandma would make my aunt cook a bowl of sugar water eggs to drink, saying that it nourishes blood and qi, and is good for women. Mrs. Zhang is quite a competent mother to her children.
"Sister-in-law, if my grandma finds out that my second sister drank the sugar water eggs for your body, she will beat my second sister again. Take it back quickly!" Xiaoshi said with a straight face, like a little adult
Yu Caidie squeezed his steamed bun face, put the bowl of sugar water into Xiaocao's hands, and said, "Don't worry, my mother went to the town to help me buy needles and threads. Drink it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold." gone."
Yu Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, and under the eyes of her sister-in-law, she took small sips of sugar water.
Only then did Yu Caidie have a slight smile on her face. She sighed softly and said, "Xiaocao, yesterday your grandma was angry, and you know your grandma's temper. The more others persuade you, the more angry you become. Don't you You will blame my sister for not speaking for you, right?"
"No, sister. Thank you for the sugar water, it's so sweet!" Yu Xiaocao couldn't say whether she liked or disliked this sister-in-law who was gentle and weak, and was like an invisible person at home, and she didn't plan to have sex with her. Much involved. Whoever treats her well, she will double it back in the future.
