The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 1

"You son of a bitch, you're going to get married tomorrow, and you want to die? It's not that your father and I don't want you to die, but the food you've been eating for 15 years!" Li Xinghua lay down on her face angrily. The girl on the broken kang scolded.

Zheng Qingqing opened her eyes slightly, let out a sigh of relief, and looked helplessly at the somewhat sloppy woman in front of her.She really couldn't stand it anymore. Ever since she crossed over in the morning, this so-called mother has been scolding her endlessly.

From scolding early in the morning to evening, I didn't see her drinking saliva in the middle, but she stopped and gnawed a bun at noon.Zheng Qingqing really admires her for eating so little and having such great energy to curse people.

Zheng Qingqing herself didn't even eat such a bun.One is that she is weak and does not feel hungry; the other is that she was so shocked by the tragedy of traveling to such a poor peasant family that she wanted to cry without tears, so she still has no appetite; the third is that her name "Zheng Qingqing" has declined, and she It's Sakura.Sakura girl?She really doesn't like the name.

Although time travel has become a sieve nowadays, most of them travel to rich families to play house fights or something.Even if you don't engage in those conspiracy theories, at least eat well and dress warmly, and just wait until you die.

Why is she so unlucky, to travel to such a poor household.The reason why I knew it was a poor household was from this mother.How poor is it that you can't eat enough to eat three meals a day, and you have to wear a piece of clothing for ten or eight years, and you have to patch it again and again, and the whole piece of clothing becomes a patchwork!

Now there are buns to eat at home, it is because of the gift from the man.This dowry gift is very strange, it is not money, cloth, jewelry and other things, but three hundred catties of cornmeal and one hundred catties of white flour.

Well, she got it.Yingniang bought four hundred catties of grain for the whole family!Her mother was afraid that she would die, and the man's family would come to ask for the grain again.The rest can be taken back, but what to do with the food in the stomach?
Although she also knew that the mother's scolding might be out of anger, with the meaning of hating iron but not steel, but this kind of words made no one feel comfortable.According to common sense, my daughter committed suicide by throwing herself into the river and was rescued. Shouldn't mother say all kinds of good things to comfort her?

Seeing Yingniang looking at her like this, Li Xinghua still seemed unconvinced, and said angrily, "Food is expensive, if it wasn't for raising you as a loser, your two younger brothers would have been able to eat more over the years. You can also grow taller, and you won’t be called a short boy now. Your parents have raised you for 15 years, and you don’t want to marry a good family. When the time comes, you will take care of the family, take care of your two younger brothers, and run to find life and death. for what?"

Yingniang understands, this mother is still a patriarchal master, and her partiality is not as serious as usual, and it is her fault that the younger brothers are short!

Before Li Xinghua finished speaking, she started chattering again, "The Xue family has ten acres of cornfields and three acres of wheat fields. If you go to his house, you will be able to eat three meals a day. Although the eldest son of the Xue family I used to be a monk in a temple on the mountain, but now he has returned to vulgarity, no different from ordinary men. It’s not like he went to the palace to become a eunuch and eunuch, what are you not happy about?”

Yingniang was a little dizzy, she had been listening to these words for a whole day!She rolled over, turned her back to her mother, and closed her eyes to sleep.

"Are you listening to me?" Seeing that she was indifferent, Li Xinghua yelled at her.

"I've been listening all the time!" Yingniang replied.

"You've been lying down all day, and you've recovered early, so get up soon!" Li Xinghua lifted the quilt, "Anyway, no matter whether you like it or not, you have to get married! It's up to you! The Xue family will marry tomorrow! I heard that there is a wedding gift, and I don’t know whether it’s pork or money. If it’s pork, I’ll sell it for some money, and just keep a catty or two for home use. Our family hasn’t eaten meat for half a year. Now, look at the looks on the faces of your two younger brothers. If you have hundreds of coins, save it, and your elder brother should say kiss in the next year. If you want to talk about the Xue family, you are willing to talk about family relatives. Spending four hundred catties of food is something that has never happened in our Lin family village. In fact, there are few families in Xue family village that are so rich. Will make such a generous move..."

"Mother, don't say any more, I'll marry you!" Yingniang went all out, she was just a little monk, and she still gave up.If someone still insists on the coloring ring or something, she doesn't need to fulfill her husband and wife obligations.

If she doesn't want to marry, she has to marry, and it can't change anything. She still has to suffer from this endless scolding and nagging.Anyway, it's meaningless to stay in such a mother's house, my mother is just waiting to pour out her basin of water.

Yingniang's quilt was lifted by her mother, and she couldn't do it if she didn't want to get up.

Li Xinghua poured out a small bag of wild hazelnuts and threw her a small iron hammer, "Peel them all out, our family will have a banquet tomorrow, these hazelnut stewed potatoes are a good dish. "

Yingniang wondered, the family is so poor, how can they still hold a banquet?

At this moment, the fence door of the family yard was pushed open, and a middle-aged man and two teenagers walked in, all dressed in rags, and each of them was carrying a load of seemingly light baskets.

Li Xinghua looked out, "Your father and younger brothers are back, they went to the town to exchange sixty catties of cornmeal for your dowry and the snacks you need for tomorrow's banquet."

It's not too picky to be willing to spend [-] catties of cornmeal to replace these, Yingniang thought so, and heard Father Lin sigh, "Sixty catties of cornmeal can be exchanged for these, a pair of children and grandchildren buckets (toilets) , foot basin, bucket), a small bronze mirror, a wedding box, two spring stools, and then four catties of pork, four bags of jujube cake, and four jugs of wine."

Li Xinghua looked at these things in the basket, and thought it was pretty good, "There are so many pork, jujube cakes, and wine for four tables, which is just right. The dowry is enough. Didn't I also make two pairs of wedding shoes and two A handkerchief?"

At this time Yingniang's eldest brother Zhuzi snorted, "Father, mother, didn't the Xue family say that if our family is really difficult, we can do without a dowry. You still have to change these things, so the food is just like this." It's a pity that it was replaced. My sister is already a member of Xue's family, why did you put so many things in?" When he was speaking, he reached out to grab two pieces of jujube cake and stuffed them desperately into his mouth.

Yingniang looked up at this younger brother in astonishment, he was really stingy and uneducated.It's no wonder, it must be that the parents are used to patriarchal patriarchy, and the whole family doesn't take her seriously, and the younger brothers naturally don't take this sister seriously.

Li Xinghua did not stop her son from eating jujube cake, but sighed: "You are right, your father and I want to take care of our face? Every family has to have a few dowries for a daughter. I'm not prepared either, the scene will not look good, and the villagers will laugh at our family behind our backs."

Ying Niang knocked on Wild Hazel with an iron hammer.She was convinced after listening to such a mother-son conversation!
The little brother didn't dare to say that kind of words like his brother, but he also learned to grab jujube cakes and eat them, that gobbled them up!
Li Xinghua felt sorry for her sons, so she opened one of the packs and gave them all to eat, then opened the remaining three packs and counted how many cakes there were. Tomorrow is not enough, only six yuan can be placed on a table, but there are ten guests on a table!"

Zhuzi and Genzi snickered for a while, they had already ate two yuan from each pack on the way, originally there were ten yuan in a pack.

Father Lin saw his sons stealing food on the road, but he didn't say anything.Now seeing that the number of blocks is not enough, I didn't take it seriously, "If it's not enough, it's not enough, let the guests grab it."

Li Xinghua also guessed that the sons ate it secretly on the road, because when I saw other people's houses setting up banquets, I opened the paper bags and found that the jujube cakes were all ten yuan a pack.She didn't blame her sons for stealing food, even if they ate up all four packets, she probably wouldn't make a sound, at worst, it would be fine if they didn't put a pastry plate.

Seeing that her sons were eating deliciously, she smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten cakes. Tonight, mother will cook cornmeal porridge for you, and steam two white noodles."

Zhuzi and Genzi were laughing, and there were white noodles to eat. Usually, the family would only make white noodles every ten days, but this time it seemed only every eight days.

Genzi thought about what his mother said to steam only two, and said, "Mother, two are not enough for our family."

Li Xinghua touched the 12-year-old Genzi's head, "It's just you and your brother eating, why not enough? Your father, your sister and I eat corn buns."

Yingniang looked at the parents and the two younger brothers in this family, she was really speechless.How much do they usually despise her to turn a blind eye to her?

The previous owner of her body committed suicide by throwing herself into the river this morning, so it's fine if no one comforts her.She is going to get married and go to her in-law's house tomorrow. This is her last day at her mother's house. Can't they treat her kindly and stop saying such heartbreaking words?

Father Lin saw that there was no food at home, so he asked, "Mother, didn't you pick vegetables in the vegetable field? There will be a banquet tomorrow, why didn't you pick those cabbages, celery, and radishes?"

Li Xinghua pouted in Yingniang's direction, "Aren't I staying at home to watch over her? I'm afraid she'll take advantage of my absence and seek life and death again. This is the last day and nothing can go wrong." She looked out at the sky again, "It's still too late for you to pick it up now."

Father Lin hurriedly freed up an empty basket, and said to Yingniang: "You are not allowed to mess around again! If there is something wrong with you, our Lin family really can't explain it to the Xue family! We have already eaten half of the food. , You can’t even vomit! You can’t see me and your mother in trouble, can you? You are 15 years old, and you should know something!”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yingniang, seeing her bowing her head and beating Ye Zhenzi without making a sound, so he went out with a burden.
