Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 8

Ding Xiang really couldn't bear to tell Hai Tang that Sun Hong wanted to marry Manao, fearing that she would do something stupid if she couldn't accept it.

"Sister, my cousin said... Maybe a matchmaker will be invited to propose marriage tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Haitang showed a happy smile, "Okay, I'll wait. But why does he want me to have an abortion? I'm almost married, why should I do such evil things?"

"This... I don't know, don't take the medicine yet, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Ding Xiang was thinking, maybe Sun Hong would really follow her idea because she was afraid of causing a big incident and losing face.Although this Sun Hong is really annoying, Haitang may not be happy if he marries him, but Haitang is pregnant and pretends to be him in her heart, it is better to marry him than not to be married.

Everything will only be known tomorrow.

Haitang had great trust in Sun Hong, so she waited with peace of mind, but her abdomen hurts from time to time, which worried Ding Xiang who was beside her.

"Sister, does your stomach still hurt? Do you want to please..."

Before Ding Xiang finished speaking, Haitang shook her head and said, "No need, Dr. Wu in the town seldom goes out to practice medicine, how can I go to the town to look for him like this, I don't know how many people will ridicule me on the way Well. There is a bad doctor in Liling Village who is willing to come to the door, but I am not at ease with his medical skills, I am afraid that he will cure me. Maybe it will be fine after a while, you don't have to worry about it."

Ding Xiang had no choice but to boil some hot water, and then warm it up for Haitang to drink.

Haitang was weak and weak, and even fell asleep after drinking the water.Ding Xiang saw that her stomach pain seemed to be gone, so she didn't take it seriously.

It was late, Ding Xiang had to prepare dinner.She ran to the vegetable field, cut three cabbages, and took out some pickled radishes from the pickle jar when she got home.Washing and chopping vegetables, frying vegetables, frying corn tortillas and making a pot of cornmeal porridge, she has already done these things very easily.

After the food was cooked, Ding Xiang moved the tables and chairs to set up the dishes, and the whole family came back from the mountain just after finishing their work.Rose, Narcissus, and Yurong kept complaining and crying on the road. When they got home, they smelled the aroma and threw themselves on the table, devouring it all.

Wu Zhi knew that everyone was really tired and hungry, so he didn't bother to train them.

Ding Xiang brings food to Haitang, and Meng Gui, He Shi, and Zikui also go in to see how Haitang is doing.In the afternoon, Haitang returned home early due to a stomachache, and now the others were only focused on eating, without asking if Haitang was feeling better now.

Haitang put on her clothes and sat up. Just now, Rose and Narcissus were screaming as soon as they got home, and she was woken up a long time ago.When Haitang saw her parents and Zikui came into the house to see her as soon as they got home, her eyes became hot, and tears rolled in her eyes. At this time, only her parents and two direct sisters did not dislike her and cared about her.

In order not to let the tears flow out, Haitang took the food in Ding Xiang's hand and ate it with her head down, but the tears finally flowed out.

He sighed, and reached out to wipe away her tears, "Haitang, look at your ugly face, does your stomach still hurt?"

Haitang forced a smile, "It's much better now."

Hearing that she said it was much better, Meng Gui urged again: "It's this time, what else can you say, your parents will definitely think of ways to plan for your future, why are you keeping it a secret?"

Haitang bit her lips, "Father, mother, don't worry, you will understand tomorrow, I really have nothing to do, don't worry too much."

Now that Haitang had already said to wait until tomorrow, Meng Gui and He Shi didn't want to force her, so they told her to eat well and went out.Zikui sat beside Haitang curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, is my cousin coming to propose marriage tomorrow?"

Haitang pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and nodded.

"That's about the same." Zikui pouted, "If he dares not come, I'll go to his house to demolish tiles and burn down the house!"

Ding Xiang stared at Zi Kui with her mouth half open, thinking that her younger sister is really brave enough to set fire to other people's houses with her mouth open, probably because she became addicted to burning Huaizi's firewood last time.After thinking about it, she thought it would be nice to have such a tough younger sister, who could be taken out to fight.

But Zikui also knew that the matter between Haitang and Sun Hong surprised Ding Xiang, "Third sister, do you know everything about the relationship between elder sister and cousin?"

Zikui raised her chin, "Don't think that I'm still a child. My eldest sister and I go to my cousin's house to play during the holidays. How can I not know that the two of them look at each other when they have nothing to do? But you, you never like to visit relatives, except when you go to the field. It’s really boring to do laundry, cooking, and embroidery at home. By the way, your illness has recovered, why haven’t you seen you embroidering recently?”

Ding Xiang thought to herself, what kind of flowers to embroider, she doesn't have this hobby.But Ding Xiangyuan is docile, well-behaved and capable, and is also an expert at embroidery, so it seems unreasonable if she is too different from before.

Ding Xiang rubbed her forehead, "You don't know, although I've recovered from this illness, I can no longer play with needles and threads, and I feel dizzy when I pick up that thing."

Haitang looked at Ding Xiang with concern, "Second Sister, your illness is still cured, right? It doesn't matter if you embroider or not, and the family can't get rich with the pocket money you earn. You can go to Dr. Wu when you have free time." Look there, don't fall into the root of the disease."

As Haitang said, she put down the bowl in her hand, and took copper coins from under the pillow, which Ding Xiang asked for from Sun Hong.

Ding Xiang didn't want it, she got up immediately, "Sister, you'd better worry about yourself, I'll just take care of you. Zi Kui, let's go out to eat too, if we don't eat, there won't even be vegetable dregs left in the pot."

When Zikui ran out after her, she grabbed Ding Xiang's sleeves and whispered in Ding Xiang's ear: "The matter of elder sister and cousin is a lesson for the past. Don't make the same mistake. If Li Lei dares to look for you again, you will Never mind him!"

"Li...Li Lei?" Ding Xiang was stunned, who is he? Where did he come from? What does it have to do with her?
"It's Li Xiao's younger brother in Liling Village. Doesn't Li Xiao often bring his younger brother with him when he comes to the village to sell cloth? It's boring for you to act stupid in front of me. I won't tell you anymore. You can do it yourself." He hummed and ran to eat.

Ding Xiang froze in place, thinking it was quite funny, Li Lei?Shouldn't Li Lei go find his Han Meimei?

Oh, Ding Xiang from before probably wouldn't like that Li Lei, right?No, no, probably not, it must be the man's wishful thinking.Anyway, she didn't know Li Lei, so she just ignored him, there was nothing to worry about.

It's just that this Zikui is really amazing. Although she is only 14 and a half years old, she knows everything like the back of her hand.

After dinner, everyone took turns boiling water to wash their faces and feet.Ding Xiang and Zi Kui boiled more water, and they hid in the house to take a bath one after another, because Meng Gui and He Shi were busy building the roof of the firewood house, and they had to pull all the firewood out of the firewood house and pile it in the corner for tomorrow. We are preparing for the move, so the three Dingxiang sisters can chat and laugh while taking a bath in the house.

Lilac was putting on her clothes after washing, Zikui stripped naked and sat in the bathtub, "Eldest sister and second sister, you see, my body is white, but everyone says I should change my name to Heikui, and if you say I'm not angry, they will It's black!"

Ding Xiang took a look and said with a smile: "No matter how white your body is, no one else can see it. Who told you not to wear a straw hat when you work, so that your face is so tanned. But it's okay, it will turn white by raising it in winter."

Haitang has been sitting by the head of the bed, her face was flushed, and she smiled softly, "You guys are really, every girl's talk about whether her body is white or not is so inappropriate."

Zikui raised her mouth, "What's the matter, your body was touched by your cousin."

Zikui was speechless, but Haitang trembled when she heard it, her face turned from crimson to liver-colored, extremely embarrassed.Ding Xiang glared at Zi Kui, blaming her for saying that about her sister.

Zikui realized that she had said something wrong, but she was a person who didn't like to admit her mistakes, so she said: "Sister, don't be angry, you have done this wrong in the first place. You can’t do that kind of thing. Now that you have a big belly, you’re not hurting yourself.”

Haitang suddenly burst into tears, filled with regret, and it took a long time to stop her tears, sobbing, she said, "Sister, don't talk anymore, you don't know how much I blame myself, if it wasn't for my grandma who insisted on giving me to my cousin's house that day. Sending hazelnuts, it just so happened that my cousin drank too much, and the rest of his family were not at home, so..."

Ding Xiang also understands Haitang's temperament. Haitang has a lot of thoughts. If she doesn't say anything, she must be carrying a heavy burden in her heart. Think about it. She is only 17 years old and is in the blooming season. Unbearable stress for the average person.Not to mention the persecution from her family, the disgust from her aunt and cousins, and even the ridicule from the villagers will make it difficult for her to raise her head in the future.

Ding Xiang really didn't want to see her suffer so much, so she comforted her: "Sister, I understand everything you said, but it wasn't your fault, it must have been my cousin playing a scoundrel at that time, and you didn't want to disappoint him, so you Accept him. If you make a mistake, it's my cousin's fault, so don't blame yourself too much."

Zikui blinked her eyes, wondering what the second sister said. If the eldest sister is not soft-hearted and refuses to obey her cousin, is it possible that the cousin can still strengthen the eldest sister?Zikui's speech has never been mellow, and she doesn't know how to take care of her listeners.

She thinks that the eldest sister should point it out when she is wrong, and even if she marries her cousin, she can't rely on him for everything, otherwise she will definitely suffer in the future.She then said: "Second sister, what you said is not right. If you do something wrong, you should be brave enough to take responsibility. If you know your mistakes, you should correct them."

Ding Xiang gasped, how can Haitang correct the mistake she made, her belly is getting bigger, is it possible to change the child?Haitang already knew that she was wrong, and this Zikui still foolishly poked Haitang's heart.

Seeing that Ding Xiang was not convinced, Zikui asked in amazement: "Second sister, you didn't have that kind of thing with Li Lei, did you?"

"What?" Ding Xiang turned pale with anger, "What are you talking about, I haven't even seen what he looks like!"

Zikui realized that her words were too abrupt, and said with a giggle: "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, the three of us just cherish our bodies."

When Meng Gui and He Shi came in after finishing their work, they didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore.Everyone was very tired that day and went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Ding Xiang was awakened by a light knock on the door.She was a little confused, and turned over, wondering if there was a thief?No, how could a thief knock on the door after stealing something, and besides, how could there be anything worth stealing in her poor and poor family?
After a while, there was another knock on the door, and Ding Xiang was about to get annoyed when she heard her mother He asked, "Who is it?"

Now all five of them were woken up.
