Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 4 The Reason
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, and was just about to pick up the bamboo sticks in the corner to draw grass, but someone stopped her: "Enough, the grass has been scalded like this, do you really want to kill her?"

At this moment, Zhang Dashan, who had been silent all the time, looked at his daughter-in-law displeasedly and said, he did not object to his wife teaching the child, but the child had already been scalded like this, but she still wanted to do it, even he couldn't stand it up.

Mrs. Zhao was stunned by the drinking of her head, her face turned green and pale, she didn't understand why her husband who had always been obedient to her yelled at her in front of her children, thinking that she had lost face today, looking at Zhang Xiaocao's eyes became more and more disgusted.

In fact, Zhang Dashan's voice was not very loud at all, it just happened that everyone in the room could hear it, but it was precisely because he was always silent and dull, and never interfered with Zhao Shi, that he couldn't stand it today, so he made Zhao Shi lose face.

Zhang Xiaocao looked at Zhang Dashan gratefully, knowing that it would be endless if he stayed any longer, so he picked up the unfinished pancakes and brown rice porridge and turned to the kitchen.

Zhang Dashan felt more and more uncomfortable when his youngest daughter saw it like this, and felt that the mother-in-law was too strict with her daughter, so he dissatisfied with the mother-in-law: "You are too, the child is still young, just teach it slowly, what if it breaks? "

Mrs. Zhao suddenly fell back in anger, threw away the bamboo stick in her hand angrily, sat down on her buttocks, and bit the cake fiercely as if to vent.

Zhang Xiaobao, who was closest to her, didn't dare to say anything, and stood obediently eating porridge.

Mrs. Liu heaved a sigh of relief, and ate carefully, while Xiao Zhuangzhuang sat beside him in a sensible manner, neither crying nor fussing. Zhang Baojin looked at his angry mother, but dared not speak.

Zhang Baozhu was dissatisfied, at first she thought that the dead girl would be beaten up, but now she was just burnt, it was really annoying, she glanced at Liu Shi, curled her lips, if it wasn't for this troublesome obstruction, how could it be like this !
In the whole main room, only the second child Zhang Baoyin ate the most delicious food, as if nothing had happened.

In the kitchen, Zhang Xiaocao poured a basin of cold water and put his hands into the cold water. Immediately, the pain eased a lot, but densely packed blisters covered the entire back of the hand, which was terrifying.

After soaking for a while, he took a handkerchief, wiped off the porridge that had just been spilled on his chest, and drank the little porridge left in the bowl. face, went to the yard, picked up the half-washed clothes, walked out of the gate towards Ninghe.

When we arrived at the bluestone slabs by the river, there were already many women in the village and their daughters-in-law and older girls washing clothes there. The sound of beating clothes was mixed with chatter and laughter, and the wild ducks in the grass by the river were startled. Quacking and screaming, it was very lively!
When they saw Zhang Xiaocao, they greeted her kindly, gave up their seats, and asked her to go and wash together.

Zhang Xiaocao responded one by one with a smile, went to a woman and knelt down, thanked the woman, put the basin aside, rolled up her sleeves, and started washing clothes.

The woman's name was Liu Cuie, and she was Zhang Honest's daughter-in-law. According to her seniority, Zhang Xiaocao had to call her "Auntie". Everyone in Zhang's village had the same ancestor.

Liu Cuie is a warm-hearted woman with a loud voice. At the beginning, her mother-in-law wanted to marry a powerful daughter-in-law to take care of the house because her son was too honest. Liu Cui'e, who was quite pungent in her boudoir.

Liu Cui'e lived up to her reputation as a hot-blooded woman, and within a few months of her marriage to Zhang's Village, the women in the village who liked to gossip did not dare to provoke her. However, she was enthusiastic and hard-working. He is also very popular in the village, so he is trusted by his mother-in-law and loved by his husband, which also makes those daughter-in-laws who are troubled by their mother-in-law very envious.

Mrs. Liu was washing her clothes neatly while talking to Zhang Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, have you had breakfast yet?"

Zhang Xiaocao didn't stop moving her hands, and said shyly, "Aunt Liu, I just ate it!"

Zhang Xiaocao inherited the memory of the original owner, and knew that the original owner was a shy and silent little girl who seldom took the initiative to talk to others, so in the beginning, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, she also maintained a quiet and reticent temperament, and gradually changed!
Mrs. Liu laughed and said: "It's my aunt who said the vernacular (meaning nonsense), so which one hasn't eaten? You are a sensible kid, and you do all the work at home. Your mother is much easier, Auntie." It would be nice to have a daughter like you!"

Mrs. Liu has no daughter, but she is looking forward to having a daughter, but it has been five or six years since she gave birth to three boys in a row, and she has never been pregnant again, so she gave up, but for Zhang Xiaocao Such an honest and diligent girl, I can't express my love for her.

Zhang Xiaocao's eyes turned red, but she remained silent, but her movements became faster and faster.

Although Mrs. Liu has a carefree temper, she is very careful. She quickly sensed that something was wrong with Zhang Xiaocao. She looked up at Zhang Xiaocao suspiciously, and soon found her swollen and horribly red hands. She immediately widened her eyes and felt distressed. He yelled: "Oh, Xiaocao, what's going on? Why are your hands so hot? Why don't you go to see Dr. Li and come here to wash clothes?"

Liu's loud voice quickly attracted the attention of others, they all turned their heads to stare at Zhang Xiaocao's hands, and gasped when they saw those swollen and hideous little hands.

Zhang Xiaocao shook her head, rubbing her clothes vigorously, holding back her tears, seeing that Liu's heart ached so much!
Mrs. Liu looked at it, why didn't she know how the injury came from?Xiaocao definitely didn't do it by herself, otherwise how could she be so wronged and speechless?
She has long heard that Mrs. Zhao likes to beat this child, but she still doesn't believe it. Seeing Xiaocao's appearance now, she can't help but not believe it. She really doesn't know how that mother-in-law can do such a heavy hand, even her own child can be scalded. so!

"Good boy, don't cry. Don't wash this clothes. Auntie will help you after washing. Don't get your hands wet, it will rot!"

Zhang Xiaocao was very moved. If the mother in this life was changed to Aunt Liu, she would not have to live so hard. Thinking of everything in the previous life, she couldn't help crying.

In her previous life, her hometown was in the countryside. She had three brothers and sisters. She was the youngest child in the family. The family loved her very much, and what she liked most was her grandma who raised her single-handedly, and followed her grandma's peaceful temperament.

At that time, the family's conditions were decent, and she didn't need to run around for a living at a young age. Later, her parents went into business, and soon accumulated rich assets. They bought a house in a big city. They wanted to move the family to the city. , but her grandparents were used to the countryside and didn't want to go, so the family of five went to their new home, but she was not acclimatized and didn't like the hustle and bustle of the city, so her parents had to send her back to her hometown.

Although she is far away from her parents, her parents often come back to see her in turn, and the relationship with her parents is not only not weak, but even deeper.
