Chapter 3: Mother's sad past

Views:

"Hehe, this child is sensible. He has a cute appearance and doesn't cry a lot, so he's easy to raise!" Miao Cuilan laughed again.

"Hehe, then you can keep it, at most it will be an extra dowry in the future!"

Miao Cuilan felt a little unhappy again, and said: "You can't tell what will happen in the future, maybe this child will have a great fortune in the future, and even bring us to enjoy the blessings!"

Sister-in-law Li was secretly peeing in her heart, thinking that a loser would still enjoy a happy life! On the face, he smirked and said: "That is, that is, who can say for sure, then we will see it when we get it! But this little appearance is really handsome, maybe he will be a beauty when he grows up, and he will be a concubine to a rich family —”

"Sister-in-law Li!" Miao Cuilan's face darkened when she heard this, and her tone was a bit cold: "We are all decent people, so we can't say such evil things! We can't do such immoral things!"

Mrs. Li suddenly remembered, was Miao Cuilan forced by her father and stepmother to be a concubine for a wealthy family

Back then, when she refused to follow suit, she used some tricks to get the marriage certificate from her father, and then used the marriage certificate to hire a matchmaker to find Lu Zhong who moved here from somewhere and lived alone.

Her father and stepmother didn't find out until the two of them had cooked the rice. They were so angry that they were half dead, and then they severed the father-daughter relationship with her. They haven't had any contact with her for so many years!

Last year when her father passed away, she went back to attend the funeral, but was stopped by her stepmother and her son. But she took five taels of silver as a funeral ceremony, as if someone said that her stepmother was too little.

Sister-in-law Li originally said this out of anger, but she didn't want to step on Miao Cuilan's sore foot. She felt even more embarrassing for a while, and smiled reluctantly: "You are right, you are right! Let's be so clear." People in vain, how can they have such a heart, isn't that a scam!"

Lu Zheng was so angry that she was about to explode, cursing non-stop in her heart, this wicked woman is really hateful, why would she be a concubine for a rich family, ah! Her daughter is the one who is destined to be a concubine! Dare to accept her Lu Zheng as a concubine? If you have the guts, it depends on whether you have the life! Asshole, what an asshole!

When the urge to urinate hit, Lu Zheng felt happy and urinated happily.

A stream of wet and hot water soaked into the clothes, and Mrs. Li screamed "Ah!" without realizing it, she hurriedly got up and let go of the swaddling clothes.

A smell of urine came to her nostrils. She looked down and saw a large wet mark on the chest of the purplish red dark pattern, and Mrs. Li's face suddenly became ugly.

Lu Qi blinked, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Miao Cuilan also secretly relieved her anger. She was already unhappy with Mrs. Li's sarcastic remarks all morning, and the sentence "becoming a concubine to a rich family" made her heart ache even more. Seeing this little doll posing After joining her, Miao Cuilan couldn't help yelling in her heart that she deserved it. Seeing her son laughing, she couldn't help but stare at him sternly: "No rules! Get your sister a clean diaper!"

"Oh!" Lu Qi flinched and slipped away.

"Children are ignorant, don't take offense at Mrs. Li!" Miao Cuilan smiled at Mrs. Li as she unwrapped her clothes.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Mrs. Li tugged at the front of her clothes in disgust, forcing a smile on her ugly face. What can she say? Can you compare with two little dolls

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxue burst into tears "Wow", Miao Cuilan and Mrs. Li turned their heads to look at the same time.

It turned out that Xiaoyu was breaking Xiaoxue's fingers to snatch the puppet from her. Xiaoxue is only seven months old, and Xiaoyu is two years old. How can she be an opponent? This is not wronged to cry.

"Ouch! Don't grab, don't grab!" Miao Cuilan and Mrs. Li exclaimed at the same time and hurried over.

The two mothers finally hugged the two children away, Xiaoxue was still crying, her little face was flushed red, and her face was full of tears. Xiaoyu giggled and shook the little puppet she had successfully snatched.

Miao Cuilan felt sorry for her daughter and felt secretly annoyed. She hugged her daughter and gently patted and comforted her. No matter how angry she is, she can't help her grab something from Xiaoyu!

Seeing Xiaoxue crying like that, Sister-in-Law felt a little sorry, so she coaxed her daughter, "Hey, let's go back, return the things to Sister Xiaoxue, okay?"

She still smells like urine, and Mrs. Li hates it so much.

"No! I want to play!" Hearing this, Xiaoyu quickly hid her hands behind her back, opened her big eyes and looked at her mother vigilantly.

Sister-in-law Li looked at Miao Cuilan, and if Miao Cuilan said, "It's okay, if she likes to play, she can take it back and play first!" Then she would go down the steps. Unexpectedly, Miao Cuilan didn't say a word, she just lowered her head and coaxed the daughter in her arms.

Sister-in-law Li couldn't help feeling angry too, feeling strange! Then he said to his daughter: "Hey, give it back to Sister Xiaoxue, we also have it at home, let's go back and play again!"

"No! I don't!" Xiaoyu finally snatched it from Xiaoxue's hands.

"If you don't give it, you have to give it! How can you bully sister Xiaoxue when you are so old!" Sister Li was annoyed, and slapped Xiaoyu's buttocks twice with a black face, and couldn't help but snatch the little puppet from her hand and return it to Xiaoxue.

Xiaoyu was stunned, and burst into tears with a "wow".

"Why are you crying! Don't cry! You look so worthless!" Sister Li was even more annoyed, she cursed bitterly, and hurriedly said goodbye to Miao Cuilan and went out with her daughter in her arms.

After Mrs. Li stirred up things, Lu Zheng got the unanimous approval of the new father and bride, and stayed as the third daughter of the Lu family.

Because Xiaoshu happened to be picked up that day, he named him Lu Xiaoshu.

Miao Cuilan solemnly said to her husband again: "We are staying with this little girl, but you have made it clear that Xiaoxue is Xiaoxue and she is her. Xiaoxue is our biological daughter! When this little girl becomes sensible, we will You have to tell her that she is the daughter we picked up, not my own."

"Cuilan!" Lu Zhong called her helplessly, "Isn't this making the child sad!"

"What's so sad about us not abusing her or torturing her?" Miao Cuilan didn't take it seriously, and said, "I'm afraid! I'm afraid I'll end up raising a white-eyed wolf! She has to know how to advance and retreat from an early age! That's it, Everyone saves trouble, do you think it makes sense?"

Lu Zhong was speechless for a while, and said with a wry smile: "You think so far!"

Miao Cuilan said: "That's right! Otherwise, if this is the case, there will be no place to cry! Are we wronged!"

Lu Zhong made what she said funny again, nodded and sighed: "Okay, okay! Since you have decided to do this, there is nothing I can do!" He looked at Lu Zheng—it should be called Lu Xiaoshu, and then He laughed and said: "You can't think about the bad side of everything, maybe this child will grow up and be sensible, and be filial to us!"

Miao Cuilan immediately spoke out confidently: "That shouldn't be the case? Let's raise her without any relatives or reasons. That's what we should do if we are sensible and filial!"

Lu Zhong had nothing to say, so he could only surrender and smiled: "Okay, okay, everything you said is right, everything is right!"

Lu Xiaoshu naturally also heard these words. In fact, she quite agrees with what he said. In this way, everyone does not need to bear too much burden.

When she grows up, she will try to repay them, and then she can pat her ass and travel around the world in style.

She is not a law-abiding person, if she grows up to be sixteen, seventeen, or even fourteen or five years old and obediently sits on a sedan chair to marry someone, that might as well just kill her with that knife!

Lu Xiaoshu thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt happy, and then he fell asleep unconsciously. This guy completely forgot what his parents said he would come to pick her up in the future!

Since then, her life has officially settled down.

The Lu family has a good family background, and they mainly make a living by making tofu.

The Lu family's tofu is well-known in the nearby villages. The couple are kind, meticulous in their work, and never play tricks. In addition, they have been taught by a teacher in the village, Mr. Wu, and they have mastered the art of making dried tofu and bean curd sticks. The trick, this business is very good, from time to time have to ask part-time workers to help.

Dried tofu and yuba are made three times a month, mainly for sale in the town on market days, while fresh tofu is made almost every day.

After it was ready, Miao Cuilan put on a clean apron, carried a load of tofu, and walked through the surrounding villages according to a fixed route to sell it. When night fell, her husband had already prepared the food, and she returned home. Wash your hands and face and take a break before you can have dinner.

Sometimes the business came back sooner, so I hugged my daughter and sat in the yard, or grabbed my disobedient son and sprayed him. Sometimes she was not feeling well, and it was Lu Zhong who took the burden and went out to sell.

The days go round and round, because the time of day and which village she goes to is almost fixed, and people who want to buy tofu will basically not miss it. A large load of tofu with four layers on each side of the load can be sold out. Sometimes when a family wants to buy some dried bean curd or yuba, they will negotiate the quantity with her, and she will bring them when they are ready at home.

In the evening of this day, an unexpected visitor came to the house, and the courtyard door was pushed open. Lu Xiaoshu heard his elder brother Lu Qi shout excitedly: "Mr. Wu! Mr. Wu! You are here! Wow, what a beautiful pheasant tail! Wu Mister has gone hunting again!"

Then there was a burst of laughter and a man's deep and deep voice: "Hey, little thing, I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems to be a little taller again!"

Lu Qi couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, when I grow taller, you can take me hunting too?"

"Mr. Wu!" Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan came out of the room and greeted him with smiles.

Miao Cuilan glared at Lu Qi angrily and reprimanded: "You just think about having fun all day long, and you don't think about serious things at all! Why don't you talk about learning from Mr. Wu!"

Zhao Qi flinched and didn't dare to make a sound, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart. He thought that Mr. Wu was knowledgeable, so he could still hunt... It's okay if I learn to hunt first...
