peasant woman headed home

Chapter 20

After Liu Hong got married, she seldom came back at the beginning. The dowry was so much that she could stand up in her husband's house. Later, she gave birth to a boy and she was able to stand firmly. She continued to show off in the Wang family. Later, she came back once or twice a year. The New Year gift is pitiful, but he brought something of a little value by the way.Liu Hong has always thought that what she did was right, she was seeking justice for her father, she hated Liu Huang and her younger sister who killed her father to death, and because her younger brother defended them so much, she felt in her heart that they had betrayed her father , It was a waste of my father being so kind to them when he was alive, sometimes I was a head short.

Besides, it was already evening when Liu Huang returned home with her things, and she only went to Li's house after dinner in the afternoon.Liu Jing and Liu Rui have come back from work.Liu Jing is the eldest in the family, so he has to do the work in the field by himself. Anyway, there are not many fields, only two mu of good land and one mu of poor land.After paying the tax, they can barely eat and wear. Sometimes when the imperial court arrests the strong men, the village has to pay money per household, which makes it even more difficult for the Liu family.

"Brother... It seems that mother is back." Liu Rui watched Liu Huang's return from a distance, seemingly still carrying something, thinking that the Li family didn't accept their own pheasants, and the eldest brother's marriage was ruined.The village knew about Li Hongxiu's accident a while ago, especially the fact that Mrs. Zhang went home became a topic of discussion among many people in the village.Zhang Cuihua's gossiping women secretly spread the news that Li Hongxiu didn't like the poor and dying Liu family. Naturally, the Liu family heard about it. Liu Rui looked at his elder brother's blue and white face, and felt even more fond of Li Hongxiu in his heart. Not happy anymore.

Liu Rui is 5 years old and Hongxiu is 7 years old. Hongxiu often comes to Liu’s house to play. Liu Jing is very fond of the white and fat little Hongxiu. Just set the doll pro.At that time, Liu Rui saw that his elder brother didn't pay much attention to himself after Hongxiu came. Naturally, he didn't like Hongxiu. It seems that this is a blatant show off, he stared at him a few times.Of course, Liu Rui also knew Hongxiu's kindness afterwards, and this little mood was just the awkward mood of a kid.The most important thing is that Hongxiu seldom comes here after her family got into trouble. Liu Rui always remembers this incident, so her feelings for Hongxiu are very complicated. She is her childhood playmate and future sister-in-law.

It wasn't until Liu Huang walked in that it became clear that what she was injured with was not a pheasant.Now Liu Rui blushed, remembering that the Li family had helped him a lot in the past six years, he felt quite ashamed thinking of them like this.Liu Jing felt relieved. These years, he rarely saw Hongxiu. He could only watch Hongxiu from afar when she was delivering meals to her father. Liu Jing could marry the person he had been thinking about for so long. A little excited.

"Brother Rui, come quickly and put these in the kitchen. Mother needs to prepare something to marinate these meats, and I will entertain guests when your elder brother gets married. I will turn over eggs for you tonight." Liu Huang put the things away In Liu Rui's hands, he went to the cellar.

Liu Jing picked up Liu Yun, and Liu Yun hurriedly took out the snacks given by Hongxiu, "Brother, this is from sister-in-law, sister-in-law is very kind to me, I secretly tasted it, it was delicious, try it. "Speaking, he stuffed the chestnuts to Liu Jing.

"Brother doesn't want to eat, let your third brother have a taste." Liu Jing coaxed Liu Yun and let her go down, watching her stepping on her calf, kicking and stomping in to find Liu Yu, very similar to Hongxiu when she was a child , I got delicious food at home and went to Liu's house to give it to myself and Liu Rui.Liu Jing was slightly moved. She thought that Hongxiu had forgotten herself long ago, but she didn't expect that she would still be kind to Liu Yun and her own family.

After the Liu family had dinner, after Liu Huang cleaned up the dishes, he called Liu Jing aside.

"Brother Jing, in two months, you will be married. Our family really can't afford much as a dowry. This is two taels of silver that I have saved over the years. I originally wanted to save more for Brother Yu. Going to school... Alas, we are like this, how can we still think about going to school? Although you have been to school for two years, it is now deserted. I have no ability... You also need someone to renovate your house. Call a few people to help you, let's cook more food."

"Mother..." Liu Jing held the money in her hand, her eyes turned red.

"Hongxiu is a good girl, you have to treat her well... well, I won't say much, remember to find someone to clean up the house, and remember to buy the nine dowry gifts, and I'll borrow some of the rest to make up five." Baiwen to their family..." After finishing speaking, Liu Huang let Liu Jing wash up and go to bed, and she was still sewing new clothes for Liu Jing to wear on the wedding day.

Holding the money, Liu Jing felt powerless. After saving for so long, is there any more? Liu Yu is only eight years old now, and it is a good time to study. He often secretly goes to Li Tongsheng to attend classes under the window...

Liu Jing returned to the room, clutching the money in his hand...
