004 past events
On the Kang in the upper room, Mrs. Du was chatting with her daughter.
"Mom, do you really believe they didn't steal the eggs?"
"Who else could it be besides those two little bastards?" Mrs. Du said unwillingly.
"Then the mother let them go so easily?"
Mrs. Du said bitterly: "How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? I will definitely make that bitch vomit out twice as much! Today, the dead old man is at home. You must save some face for him in front of outsiders."
"That bitch is coughing day and night. It's so noisy that I can't sleep well. Mother, didn't you say she can sell for six taels? She keeps getting angry. What if she can survive it?
It's almost ten days, can Longtan Village wait?" Baofeng asked worriedly.
"Huh, mother has her own way. You can just embroider your wedding dress with peace of mind and wait until you get married to the town next year and become a young mistress. Then don't marry into a good family and forget about mother." Mrs. Du said, squeezing gently.
He pinched his daughter's face.
"Mother, no matter how well I marry, I am still your daughter. If I have a good marriage, I can't stay close to you, mother." Baofeng responded shyly.
"Okay, okay, you are my mother's darling. I will definitely save you more dowry. If you don't have thirty-six, you will have to do eighteen, so that you can get married in glory!" Mrs. Du said with a satisfied smile.
"Thank you, mother! Mother is so kind to me!" Baofeng said in a charming voice.
At dawn, Ms. Ye glanced at her daughter who was sleeping peacefully next to her, and she felt much more relaxed. This was the first time her daughter had slept peacefully since she came back. She got up lightly and was busy preparing for the family.
breakfast.
When the twins in the other room heard the noise, they also climbed up and consciously went to wash up and tidy themselves up in preparation for farm work.
Boom!
The door to the west wing opened in response.
Chu Congrong felt a gust of wind blowing in his daze, and his body suddenly flew into the air and fell heavily to the ground. His buttocks were burning with pain, and he almost fainted! Then he was dragged towards the yard, and it was the ferocious Mrs. Du with facial features.
The expression twisted into a ball is quite ferocious!
Chu Congrong wanted to struggle, but found that the energy she had accumulated over the past few days was completely vulnerable to the short and fat Mrs. Du, so she had to let her drag her along. She knew clearly that she was undoubtedly a dying dog.
It seems that this evil woman insists on beating herself to death in exchange for those few taels of silver!
Bang bang——
Following two crisp sounds, Chu Congrong felt a sharp pain in his thigh! This was the pain of a thorn tree falling on his flesh!
"You bitch, why are you pretending to be dead? You've been lying on the bed for half a month. Since you have nothing to do, let me get up and work. Our family is a poor family and we don't support lazy people!" Mrs. Du scolded, waving the thorn stick and saying
Twice!
Liulang was washing up on the other side of the yard. Seeing that something was not going well, he rushed up in two or two steps, poured the water in the basin on Mrs. Du, and threw himself on his sister, protecting her under her weak body, and cried loudly:
"Don't hit my sister! Mom, come help me!"
Mrs. Du was not prepared for her body to get wet all over, and she was hit hard with the vitex stick in her hand, which made Liu Lang scream in pain.
Mrs. Ye rushed out of the kitchen after hearing her son's screams and saw Xiao Liu being beaten severely by her mother-in-law. She hurriedly bent down and hugged her son, blocking the falling thorns, gritting her teeth to bear the heartbreaking pain.
"Shichiro—call grandpa! Ahem!"
Chu Congrong called Qi Lang, and Qi Lang quickly ran to the upper room. Mr. Chu was still in a sleepy state, so he forced him to pull him out.
"Old lady, why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"
Mrs. Du snorted and replied: "I just asked Wuya to get up and work, what will happen?"
"It's ridiculous. Ninety-nine percent of your life is gone. What kind of work can you do like this?" Mr. Chu said angrily.
"You are so capable when you are almost dead? Old man, you were not at home yesterday, and this damn girl was talking back to me! She has the strength to talk back but not the strength to work. She is obviously lying dead and pretending to be lazy! Our family doesn't have that much free time.
Feed the idle, and work until you die!"
Mrs. Du is not afraid of Mr. Chu, she is confident that she can handle it.
Chu Congrong admired this damn old woman from the bottom of her heart, and she was very vicious. The damn old woman opened her eyes and told lies. When did she have a quarrel with her yesterday?
"Sir! You are the most educated person in our village. Ahem, you once taught us that in Daning we talk about the ruler as the guide for the ministers, the father as the guide for the son, and the lineage is orderly, right?"
Chu Congrong lay on the ground, looking up at Mr. Chu, trying to make his words flow smoothly.
Mr. Chu was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Ahem, I've been dead for so long, so you haven't renewed your relationship, right?"
Chu Congrong continued to ask.
"You little bitch, you dare to curse your mother to death!" Baofeng was woken up and ran out just in time to hear Chu Congrong curse her mother. She was so angry that she rushed forward and kicked Liulang.
"My grandma has been dead for more than ten years, and I have been unswervingly devoted to my grandma. That's why I haven't renewed our relationship for a long time. Ahem, sir, am I right?"
Chu Congrong raised her voice and continued: "To put it nicely, Mrs. Du is just a common wife, but to put it worse, she is a concubine! My father is the legitimate son, and we are the legitimate grandsons and granddaughters! I can't help but watch her bully us. If word spreads, she will be spoiled as a concubine.
Wife, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Ahem, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, unless Mr. Du beats our three siblings to death, we will go to the town to find someone to reason with!"
Rokuro and Shichiro responded loudly.
Mr. Chu was completely stunned, as if time had gone back to more than 20 years ago, and a figure that had been forgotten for many years came to mind. Yes, Mrs. Du was indeed just an ordinary wife, and the first wife who died young was such a kind and virtuous woman.
.If she were still alive, why would there be so many annoying quarrels and quarrels.
well!
Mr. Chu felt sad and ordered Mrs. Ye to help the children back to the house.
"The whole family is a bitch! They only bully me, an old woman! Wow, I'm not alive anymore! I've been married to the Chu family for more than thirty years, worked as a cow, a horse, and eaten chaffy vegetables, and in the end I ended up as an equal wife! Oh my god, why not?
Take advantage of these heartless bastards as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Du sat down on the ground and began to splash.
"Bah, it's not embarrassing!" Mr. Chu cursed and walked into the house.
"Baofeng, my mother is shameless! Everyone is riding on my head to shit and piss! My mother has been serving your father for decades, and she was bullied by him heartily when she was old! She was also ten miles away at that time.
There are a lot of people begging and vying to marry me in eight villages. How could I marry such a heartless father as yours! The old bastard let a few little bitches bring out a dead man who has been dead for more than 20 years to suppress him.
Mother! How can I see anyone if the news spreads? My life is miserable, old woman!..."
Mrs. Du was howling and cursing, and when she got excited, she would roll on the spot.
"Mom, let's go back to the house first and find another way to deal with them!" Baofeng saw some people who got up early to watch the fun gathered at the door, so he hurriedly dragged her back to the house.
In the west wing room, Chu Congrong stroked Liu Lang's thin body. There were several scars under the shabby clothes. He asked softly and heartbrokenly: "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts a little, but seeing... the milk being deflated makes me feel so happy!" Liu Lang responded happily. Seeing the deflated milk that the family had been fearing for a long time, it was like eating a heart-nut.
It turned out that when Mr. Chu was young, his family background was pretty good, and he passed the exam to be a child, so he married the original owner's grandmother, Mrs. Su, under the auspices of his parents. Mrs. Su only gave birth to one daughter in three years, and she never had anything to do. Her parents had
The idea of giving him a concubine was to continue the family line.
Mr. Chu was a tall, gentle man with a certain potential as a scumbag. On his way home from school, he was spotted by Mrs. Du, who was still a young lady at the time. He took the initiative to ask someone to come to the house to talk about matchmaking. The two of us hit it off immediately, and Du entered the Chu family.
She became a concubine at home. Three years after Mrs. Du entered the house, her two sons gave birth to the eldest and the second one after another, and her waist immediately became stiff.
For a while, in the eyes of outsiders, the heroine of the Chu family only recognized the Du family and not the Su family. Of course, Mrs. Du was not willing to be a concubine, but at this time, the Su family's belly, which had not been moved for many years, was actually pregnant. Mr. Chu moved out of desperation and moved in with his equal wife.
explain.
In fact, in Daning Country, a white body without fame is not allowed to have an equal wife or concubines, but in a remote village like Longguwu, people will not be held accountable if they do not hold office. Su's temperament has always been peaceful, so he can only let Mr. Chu do it.
Mrs. Du was still unwilling to be an equal wife and kept making troubles from time to time. However, Mrs. Su gave birth to two boys, the third and the fourth, one after another, so Mr. Chu had no reason to divorce his wife. However, Mrs. Su was unwell when she gave birth to the fourth.
He was severely damaged and had no energy to respond to Mrs. Du's play. He died of illness when the fourth child was not yet three years old.
When a person dies, it takes time and money to go to the Yamen to deal with it. Mr. Chu is too lazy to pay attention to the matter of a legitimate wife and an equal wife. No one mentioned it for decades, and the days went by like this.
And Ping's wife became an old thorn in Mrs. Du's heart.
"Daughter, it's all because of your mother's incompetence that you suffered so much! It would be great if your father were at home." Ms. Ye gently touched the scar on Chu Rongrong's leg, her tears never stopping.
"Ahem, it's okay, mother! When I get well, I will never let anyone bully us again!" Chu Congrong said sadly. In another time and space, the warm family love that she had longed for but had never encountered, in this mother and son.
People feel it deeply.
"Okay, I will ask Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi to go door to door to borrow some rice later so that my daughter can get well soon." Ms. Ye was very pleased. Although her daughter was beaten today, she was much better than the previous few days.
"Ahem, I want to drink pig bone simmered peanut soup. Ahem, mother, do you have any ideas?" Chu Congrong knew that Ye was penniless, but in order to get well soon, she said it politely.
"Every household has some peanuts left. It's easy to find. Pork bones are not expensive. It only costs three or four cents for a lot. It's just that my mother doesn't have any private money..."
Mr. Ye scratched his head in frustration.
"Sister, Lao Liu and I found two little birds yesterday. Their beaks are yellow and big, and their bodies are red and their eyes have just opened. In a few days, when they grow up, we will bring them back to replenish your body." Qilang pulled them.
Chu Congrong's hand was a little proud to take credit.
"Its nest is in a mud hole, and it will turn black when it grows up. That's myna." Rokuro quickly added, not wanting to show off his beauty to his younger brother.
"Ahem - you can't eat it." Chu Congrong tried her best to respond with a wry smile. Although she was in poor health, she shouldn't eat a bird that didn't even have all its feathers. Besides, the nutrition brought by the bird couldn't be compared.
Bone soup.
"Sister, mynas can be eaten, but crows cannot be eaten." Qi Lang said anxiously.
Chu Congrong nodded: "Sister, I know. Ahem - but we shouldn't eat, go and change money."
"Yes, sell them to get money to buy meat for my sister to eat. Two of them can be sold for at least three cents. If Fatty Li wants it, he will probably be willing to give it five cents." Liu Lang responded.
"At least ask him for six cents!" Qilang said quickly when he saw that Rokuro had stolen the limelight.
Chapter completed!
