Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 106 Wu Mei's Transformation

Several spring thunders rumbled, and several spring rains pattered.

The greenery becomes more and more intense.

The ridges of the rice paddies and traffic divide the fields into grids one by one. Now the grids are filled with water, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like a bright mirror. Occasionally, white clouds move quickly and briskly like shy ones.

Farmers are always busy, especially after the Waking of Insects.

The Su family is no exception.

In addition to the fields allocated to Su Youli's family, the good fields and inferior fields that everyone in the Su family needs to cultivate add up to ten or twenty acres, and the capable Su Youli and Li's are missing, so it is not easy .

Whenever the farming season is busy, almost the whole family goes out, even the daughters-in-law. Except for one person who cooks at home, almost all of them go down to the fields. Fortunately, there are cattle, so they are not tired when plowing the fields.

At home, Mrs. Su Qian took command in person. Mint was impatient with Mrs. Su Qian being tired and crooked, so she simply went to the field with the adults. She was originally a neat personality, although going to the field to transplant rice seedlings was not as good as Su Youyi and Lin's who were used to doing work, But it is more than enough to say that she is more sneaky than Zhou's.

What's more, Mrs. Zhou often suffers from leg pains, backache and teeth weakness.

Today, Mrs. Zhou, who is still "a little uncomfortable", cooks at home. Thinking about the meals she cooked, even Mr. Su's face stretched a bit.

No, not long after everyone got off the ground, she was ordering Wu Mei with her hands on her hips, "Wu Mei, it's hard for such a big person to still eat rice. I've sprained my waist, so you cook first."

Banxia is naturally at home, not to mention that Su Youli and Li are reluctant to bear her suffering, she also needs to cook at home, and accompany Yuanchen by the way, the cassava in Biaojiaoling is not difficult to grow, and it is not too urgent , the paddy field at home is less than three mu, which is not a problem for Su Youli, who has always worked hard.

On the other hand, because Su Youli and Li's separated, even though the fields were a little less, they always felt that the work was much slower, but no one said it.

Hearing Zhou's call, Wu Mei did not move forward as usual, and the marks on her neck had faded a lot.

This person died once, the helplessness of the rope that strangled her neck made her unable to breathe, and the pain of being unable to speak left a deep memory in her memory. Looking back, many things were not as important as they used to be.

What's more, two days earlier, Ban Xia scolded her harshly.

"Sister, look at Mint's temperament. She is still young. Is it possible that she will stand up for you every time? You have to think about yourself anyway. You are not afraid of death. What are you afraid of?"

"Since you don't want to marry, no one can force you. You choose yourself, so you have to keep going."

Yes, what are you afraid of?What else is there to be afraid of?

Even though rumors are flying around outside, so what can we talk about?If you don't have a chance, at most you just don't go out for a lifetime.Thinking of this, Wu Mei felt a little confused, shook her head and laughed instead.

She heard Zhou's shout, but she was still tidying up her house, so she simply pretended not to hear it.

Mrs. Zhou yelled several times, seeing that Wu Mei was not moving, she quickly walked to the door in displeasure, "Wu Mei, why don't you cook!"

Such a question?It really was a matter of course, Wu Mei still smiled good-naturedly, "Fourth Aunt, didn't you just say that you stayed at home to cook? Otherwise, it should be my mother today, right?"

I just know what to do with ease.

"You are so old, do you eat rice at home all day?" Zhou still said the same thing.

"What do you mean eating plain rice?"

Mrs. Zhou didn't seem to expect Wu Mei to talk back, seeing her suddenly looking at him with dark eyes, although she was still the same person, but there was really something different, and suddenly remembered how she looked when she was rescued , Mrs. Zhou was a little apprehensive.She can't refute this, because Shuiping is not young anymore, Wumei washes clothes and chops pig food, and chooses soybeans, making mung bean soup during the busy farming season...

But now that he's here, Zhou's eyes rolled, "I'm doing this for your own good. What are you doing out there? It's hard to hear outside. You should cook at home."

"For my own good? Why can't I go out?" Wu Mei was still calm, but this question came out.

Zhou was stunned, she didn't know why she felt guilty, but she hated the feeling of guilty conscience very much, so she was a little out of breath, "Don't be so kind as to be a donkey's liver and lungs, you should go out! Are you trying to thirst them to death? First, give them some water. Send mung bean soup again!"

"Okay." Wu Mei agreed quietly, and then continued to tidy up the house.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't do it, she didn't dare to stay any longer, if Mrs. Su Qian didn't see the smoke coming from the kitchen later, she'd better eat and die by herself.

But I just can't figure it out, good-natured people change when they say they change.

Wu Mei shook her head. It turns out that it is really not that difficult to refuse others, and there is even a trace of pleasure. It is ridiculous that she has never done it in so many years. She always thinks that being obedient, sensible and hardworking can help her family better .

But what about the facts?

Thinking that she will go out later, she will not be afraid.

Seeing the smoke coming from the chimney outside, she smiled, feeling a little excited. At this time, she really wanted to talk to someone, so she walked across the yard to Banxia.

Walking in a few steps, "Ban Xia—" called out first, then passed through the house where Ban Xia lived familiarly, turned to the vegetable field at the back, and saw Yuan Chen squatting beside Ban Xia, who was busy making breakfast .

Wu Mei's eyes were bright, "Banxia, ​​just now my aunt asked me to cook, but I didn't go, and she can't do anything!"

It seems to be something extraordinary.

Ban Xia smiled, "Sister, you did a great job, you are helping her, think about it, sooner or later the family will be separated, if the fourth aunt doesn't learn much, Shui Ping will not know how to do it when the family is separated." It's more difficult for them to eat, and it's still too late to pay more attention now."

Naturally, Banxia was joking. She was afraid that Wu Mei would feel burdened in rejecting others, so she casually said something like this, what kind of life will the Zhou family live in the future? She doesn't care at all, she doesn't mind being tripped up or anything when the time is right.

Wu Mei nodded vigorously, "I understand."

Ban Xia looked at her and thought to herself, I'm afraid she really understands this time.

Although this process is a bit difficult, after all, people are changing. Wu Mei is not a fool, but she is too soft-hearted, but since she was able to make such a decisive decision last time, it proves that she is by no means blindly without ideas. No matter what, this change is gratifying.

"Yes, elder sister, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do." Ban Xia strongly supported it.

If Wu Mei was able to do this before, it would not be so easy for Su Chuner to plot against her, but then again, if it weren't for the series of events caused by Su Chuner's calculation, Wu Mei might never have such a change.

Things in the world, cause and effect, are unpredictable.

Wu Mei just came over to talk to Ban Xia, and when she finished speaking, she naturally went to deliver water, "I just passed by the river, you find a basket and put the water jar in it, and I'll take it to Third Uncle and the others later."

Ban Xia thought about it and nodded.

In this way, I don't have to make an extra trip, not to mention that Wu Mei used a pole to carry two jars of water, which didn't weigh too much.

Wu Mei carried water with a smile on her face and went out.

Ban Xiayi watched her go out from the door frame, and smiled, such a dark plum is more beautiful than before.

But Wu Mei went outside and walked on the soft field ridge, and she soon felt sweaty, but she didn't feel tired. Looking at the wild grass and flowers beside the field ridge, and the green seedlings, she wanted to hum a little song for no reason.

Delivering water to Su Youli and the others wasn't exactly on the same path. She went around to the river, put down the water tank first, and then walked down the river bank.

The river has risen, and there are wild water chestnuts and duckweeds on the water, low bushes on both sides, and dancing bamboo forests, rustling.

She even poked her head with great interest to see if there were spring bamboo shoots emerging.

It is also a dish.

Faintly sensed that something was wrong, the first thing he saw was the reflection in the river, in the sparkling light, a somewhat fragmented shadow raised his head, and only then did he see a person standing in front of him.

This person, she knew, maybe, not only knew.

A member of the Lin family, Lin Sa, looked at him with complicated eyes, standing a few meters in front of him, staring at the marks on his neck, trying his best to suppress the expression on his face.

Wu Mei's first thought was to back off.

If you want to put it aside, what will happen, weak legs or run away?After thinking about it, she pursed her lips again, but only took two steps back, she stopped, and then made up her mind, and took a few steps forward.

There are many roads that others cannot take for me. Now that I have found it, I have nothing to be afraid of.

Lin Sa just looked at Wu Mei like this, the marks on her neck were obviously not fake, his heart sank all the time, seeing the weakness in her eyes slowly turn into... hostility?
So, he understood that although he knew it before, he didn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes.

He knew that their encounter was not good, and there were even layers of misunderstandings in it, which caused her to suffer, but God knows, from the moment he saw her, he believed that she was such a person, thinking that he would treat her well in the future Who would have thought that such a decision would be persecuted by the family members wrongly, causing her to almost die.

He asked with a sour voice, "You really don't want to."

The wind was slightly drunk, and the wild ducks flapped their wings and flew away with a sound.Of the two people by the river, one is slim and the other is handsome and upright, the scene was originally picturesque, hey...

Wu Mei didn't speak, in fact she didn't want to say anything, she looked directly at him.

Until he turned around, the voice was still echoing in his ears, "I don't know, the family has caused you trouble, I..."

further away.

Wu Mei originally thought that she should breathe a sigh of relief, but why did she have mixed feelings in her heart.
