The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 14

Because He Tao did a thorough shopping that day, he visited every corner of Liushu Town, and when they returned home, the town was empty.

It was already the twelfth lunar month at this time, and it was approaching evening, so the temperature was very low.The bullock cart is used as a tool for carrying goods without a shed, and the wind blows when the cart moves. He Tao, who wrapped herself into a ball in a cotton coat, hid behind the stone mill and shivered holding a soybean bag.Look at Fu Shi again, wearing a dark blue thick cotton coat and sitting behind the wheel of the car, he looks very heroic.He Tao thought about it, she might as well let Fu Shi take her to practice military boxing or something in the future, she would definitely be able to train her body to be even better!
While flirting, she moved to Fu Shi's side: "Shitou, aren't you cold?"

"not cold!"

"I feel so~cold~", the sound dragged on for a long time, and trembled a few times.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Fu Shi really wanted to hug her or put her in his arms to warm her up, but after all, it was in broad daylight—even a mourner would feel ashamed.So Fu Shi grunted and pointed to a figure not far in front of the car and said, "Look at the old lady, she wears less clothes than you, and doesn't shake as much as you."

He Tao poked his head out from behind him to look at the person he was pointing at, and realized, hey, isn't this an acquaintance!Walking alone in front of her was the old lady Cheng from the village head.

"Cheng grandma!"

He Tao called her old lady loudly.Although she had only met once, she still had a good impression of Mrs. Cheng.

When Mrs. Cheng heard someone calling her, she first stopped, then turned around and squinted her eyes to see, seeing that it was He Tao and Fu Shi, she froze for a moment and then smiled.

"It's Shi Xiaozi and Tao girl! It seems that God has pity on my old lady and let me give you a ride!"

The old lady Cheng didn't exclude or ignore the "male and female double evil" like most villagers did, so Fu Shi also stopped the car and called out politely: "Grandma Cheng."

In fact, He Tao didn't realize it until Mrs. Cheng had spoken--fortunately, he wasn't ignored just now, otherwise it would be embarrassing.But because of this, she became more affectionate to the old lady. She smiled and jumped down to help the old lady into the car: "Why are you going back to the village alone at this time?"

"Are you guys coming back from the town?" Mrs. Cheng got into the car steadily, patted her legs and said, "I'm so confused, I originally agreed to take the ox cart of Shugen's house at the head of the village. , As a result, I met an old sister in the town and lost the time when I chatted with her. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I don’t know when I will be able to go home.”

"Oh, that's not true, we are destined!" He Tao said with a smile.

When He Tao returned to Rongshu Village, the first villager he saw was her, and Mrs. Cheng was an old widow who lived alone for decades, so she didn't care much about bad luck, what was it if it wasn't fate?
The old lady Cheng poked He Tao with the tip of her cane with a smile: "You are a lot more lively girl. I was worried about you in vain. Speaking of which, you know, the old Zhang's house in Qili Village went to your mother's house to make a fuss some time ago. field!"

"Ah?!" He Tao was taken aback, and a little scared - he didn't expect that his "I'm going to die together" didn't frighten them.

"Let's just say you don't know, they came to make a big fuss, and your grandma scolded you back." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "Your grandma is as powerful as before!"

"Tell me quickly!" He Tao immediately lost his fear, leaving only curiosity.According to this, it turned out to be her "ruthless" grandma who helped her resolve the disaster!

Mrs. Cheng combined what she saw with her own eyes and what she heard, and recreated the original scene for He Tao.

More than ten days ago, at noon, Mrs. Zhang Gao dragged the lame Zhang Ergui and the weak Zhang Da all the way to the gate of He's compound.

When He Fuguo saw his in-laws and enemies coming, at first he planned to invite the three of them into the house to have a good talk, but Zhang Gao refused to let go and started yelling at the gate of the courtyard.Scolding "the He family who has lost their conscience" has evil intentions to blame the broom star on the Zhang family, and counting the "little slut" He Tao who is disrespectful and filial if he steals, rapes and hides, and punishes He Tao with a knife that day. He Lishu and his family of four tied up and starved for two days and one night scolded them over and over again, and threatened to go to the Yamen to sue the He family for covering criminals, and send their family to jail.

The part about tying people up with a kitchen knife scared the onlookers into a fool—I didn't see it, that girl He Tao has such guts, she'd better walk around when she sees her in the future!

He Tao stayed at the He family for one night at that time, and Ben didn't have time to communicate with the He family, so the whole family of the He family was scolded for being stupid.The He family is rich in "boring big heads". From He Zhigao to He Fuguo, there are eight sticks who can't beat a fart. There are only two hotties in a family of more than ten: Zhang Dahua and Da Zhou's!

Of course Zhang Dahua helped her natal family, relying on the fact that she was pregnant with a baby, she scolded her with her parents.Talking about how she worked hard in the He family, and how she had to work hard for two years in three years, she must let the He family give an explanation to the old Zhang family in her face.

The three personnel in the second room have nothing to do with themselves and hang on high, the big room He Fuguo is not good at speech, the little Chen can only cry and cry, He Youliang and He Lian are children who are ignorant, and the only one who can control Zhang Dahua He Youdong was worried about the baby in Zhang Dahua's stomach.

Zhang Dahua was arrogant and said that he would make the He family lose money.

"He Tao's dowry must be given to the Zhang family!"

As soon as this bold statement came out, it immediately turned over the crowds watching, and by the way, the big Zhou family who was hiding in the house was blown out!
As I said earlier, the He family actually has two pungent ones, and Zhang Dahua is the one who is shameless, brainless and timid.As soon as Mrs. Da Zhou came out, she pursed her thin lips and glared at Zhang Dahua, saying: "Our good girl married into your old Zhang's family, and you were used as animals, beating and scolding, until you have only one breath left!"

"It's full of nonsense! When He Tao came back, he was breathless, saying that she had tied up your family and wanted to reunite with Li Shu. I think you rushed back because you were afraid of dying in Zhang's house! If it's true He Tao forced you with a knife, why didn’t you come earlier? Oh, you came as soon as Zhang Dahua returned to her mother’s house when you got the letter, didn’t you just hear that He Tao would marry again and get a gift money to come to your door to extort money!”

"If it weren't for the fact that the two families are still relatives, we would have called at the door!" Da Zhou continued to scold with her hips on her hips, and finally said directly: "Since your old Zhang family is shameless, then don't do anything. Don't stop, take your daughter home too! Our old He's family also wrote and left the book, and the two families will be severed from now on!"

Zhang Dahua immediately shut up!Originally, she was afraid of Da Zhou's family like a mouse seeing a cat, but now she dared to stand up for her mother's family because she was still pregnant with her child.But if Zhang Dahua can sell one granddaughter, he can give up another one. Maybe she will really go back to the Zhang family and go hungry together.

Da Zhou looked around: "Besides, He Tao, even if she really committed a crime, she would have remarried a long time ago, and the water splashed by the married daughter has nothing to do with our old He family. Let's go to the wasteland! He Tao and her man have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, you should first inquire about his reputation, don't die if you die!"

Where is Fu Shi's reputation? Zhang Dahua made it clear long ago when he returned to his natal family!The Zhang family is thinking that it is a good idea to have a bite, and asking them to reason with the mourning star is not sending them to the door to seek death!So the Zhang family was completely discouraged, and rolled away in disgrace.

Leaving Zhang Dahua crying with snot and tears running all over the floor, hugging Da Zhou's leg and howling: "Grandma, don't drive me away, I have no credit but hard work, and there are seeds from our old He family in my belly." !"

Da Zhou yelled: "Then why don't you hurry back to the house!"

This is the end of a farce.

After He Tao finished listening, he was immediately shocked by the degree of shamelessness and weird logical thinking of the Zhang family - it's so weird!
"It's so shameless!" He Tao sighed to Mrs. Cheng, "How can there be such a shameless person!"

Mrs. Cheng didn't answer the question. After all, she was the one who agreed on the marriage at the beginning, and she didn't want to get angry, so she started another topic.

"I see that you young couple are having a very smooth life. In the future, don't just hide in the wilderness, you should get in touch with the people in the village more."

Fu Shi drove the car without saying a word.

He Tao smiled bitterly and said, "I think so too, but what can I do if people hide from me as soon as they see me?"

Mrs. Cheng held He Tao's hand and told her about her experience:
"Not long after I got married, his grandfather and grandma passed away. At that time, people in the village were gossiping about me killing my parents-in-law. Two years later, I gave birth to a daughter, but just after giving birth, his father was arrested. When I went there, I never heard from again. I was alone at home and had to farm and take care of my children, and I was gossiped by those three aunts and six wives. My old woman, I feel sad when I think back to those days. But no matter how hard it is, I can’t bear it Come here? You guys are just too young to be shameless."

"When you became a grandfather and left, I was terrified. I didn't even have milk after giving birth, and there was no food at home. Your Aunt Suyue was so hungry that she cried all day and all night. I didn't even sit in the winter hug She went around begging for milk? I asked people one by one, crying and begging, and I knelt down.”

"If you don't help, we don't resent. If someone helped you, we will keep it in mind and repay you in the future. If you come and go, you will gradually get in touch with a few families."

"I raised Su Yue and sent her to get married. Her daughter is about the same age as you, and she is about to get married. They are all smooth and smooth. Who would think about what happened 40 years ago?"

"Now I live alone in the village, and I have a bit of a headache. The neighbors next door will come to take care of me, and I don't see anyone avoiding me."

"Now when people in the village talk about me, they just call me a widow. Who will always remember that I was the mourner back then?"

"So, Tao girl, Shi boy, you can't be said to be like a shrinking turtle, so you won't come out."

"Are you going to live like this forever?"

After listening to Mrs. Cheng's experience, He Tao was silent all the way.

Indeed, for more than a month, the two of them had no contact with other people in the village except for their second uncle Fu Quan and He Fuguo, He Youliang, and He Lian.

She thought it didn't matter at first - anyway, she was used to it in her previous life, and she still despised "those ignorant people" in her heart.But when Mrs. Cheng said that, she felt a little worried.Even in her previous life, no matter how she stayed at home, she still had to work five days off and two days off, nine to five, communicate with colleagues at work, chat with roommates who live with her after get off work, and go out for dinner and gatherings with friends from time to time. She hadn't tried, and couldn't imagine, being isolated from the world.

If he only had contact with Fu Quan and He Fuguo for the rest of his life, He Tao would feel a little uncomfortable thinking about those days.

After sending Mrs. Cheng home, He Tao and Fu Shi were silent all the way and neither of them spoke.

When she went to bed, He Tao couldn't bear this pessimistic and desperate atmosphere anymore. She rolled into Fu Shi's arms and pulled his hand: "Shitou, what do you think? Grandma Cheng said, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Fu Shi started to strip her clothes: "Bringing and raising a baby is the key!"
