Co-wife

Chapter 172

On the second day, the second aunt entrusted a woman she knew well to go to Chen Chunhua's mother's house in Chenjia Village.

The Chen family found that the whole family was busy with work, the eldest Chen Chunyang and the second child Chen Chunfu went back to Qingcheng to work, and they also made a profit and came back. The life in the house is much better.

Although it is said that they are seeking to make a profit, each has its own way. The eldest daughter-in-law Li Chunyun has the money in her pocket, so don't expect her to take it out.

It was not enough for the family to build an adobe-brick house in the house, so they borrowed some money from someone later, and Chen Chunyang and Chen Chunfu paid it back when they returned from their busy work in Qingcheng.

It's good that the two brothers in this house didn't marry a daughter-in-law, and they handed over the money to Mrs. Chen, but now they are all under the control of the daughter-in-law, so it's not like she can't get along with the couple!

Li Chunyun didn't worry about it at all, the whole family didn't separate, they all ate together, and asked her to wash the dishes a few times after eating, she would definitely not be able to spare anyone, if it was Chen who could speak like that Yes, you have to be patient.After all, it was not easy for my son to marry his wife, so he was afraid that if she got angry, she would send the married daughter-in-law back to her natal family in anger.

If it wasn't like this, how could Mrs. Chen live by looking at her face.The strong-tempered one can't do anything about it, but it's said that the temper is soft-tempered. Lihua just doesn't like to talk about it. As the old saying goes, bullying the good and fearing the evil, isn't it just talking about it? All her displeasure was vented on Lihua, and she wanted to say a few words when she saw what was not going her way.

Lihua felt wronged because she was wronged, but the advantage was that her man treated her well, so she just endured it. Besides, if she really made her behave like her sister-in-law, it would definitely hurt her man's heart.She didn't spend her whole life with her mother-in-law.After a hundred years of her life, the couple will still be living as usual.

Xu Shi thought so, no matter what Chen said, she just did it!But she could bear her own mother-in-law, but she couldn't bear her sister-in-law!Usually, Li Chunyun was lazy and didn't want to be busy, so he ordered Lihua to order, and it was fine once or twice. After a long time, Lihua was not afraid of her.If she is annoyed, she must be tempered.

It's okay for the whole family to live like this, and it's not good for Siya and Wuya who have not yet grown up to deal with the elders' affairs.Li Chunyun kept Si Ya busy all day long, and even asked Si Ya to wash her own clothes.

Just let Chen Chunhua marry and go to Zhaojia Village, and Li Chunyun will be fine for the first one or two months after marrying.Helping out from time to time, he bullied Siya from behind. Knowing that he was afraid of the cold in the cold weather, he called Siya to wash clothes by the river.

The boss, Chen Chunyang, knew his daughter-in-law's temperament, and felt very embarrassed. The day he went to Qingcheng to look for Chen Chunhua.Chen Chunhua brought something for him to take back, and the share that was given to Si Ya was mostly kept by her own wife.Because of this, the couple quarreled once.

Siya is now washing dishes by the river. She is over ten years old this year, and she is 11 years old. Her half-grown body is walking into the house with a wooden basin in her arms. She is wearing clothes full of patches and combing her hair braid.If she didn't know that she was ten years old, she still looked like a seven or eight year old girl!

The woman entrusted by the second aunt came over.Looking at Si Ya said. "Girl, do you know where Chen Chunhua's family's house is?"

After hearing this, Si Ya said hastily. "Auntie, the front is my house, and Chunhua is my third sister!"

After hearing this, the woman looked at Siya carefully and said. "Girl, are you Si Ya?"

Si Ya nodded, smiled, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, and said. "Oh, I'm Siya!" After speaking, he led the woman back into the house.

Mrs. Chen was busy in the yard packing the whole potatoes and melons into bags. The whole family just paid for food a while ago, and the rest will be eaten until next year. Looking at these, it must not be enough.The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel, if there is not enough food next year, the eldest daughter-in-law will definitely say, expecting her to give money, that is all good things to say!

Si Ya led the woman into the courtyard, looked at Mrs. Chen and shouted. "Mom, there's someone in the house!"

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she looked at it impatiently, and seeing an unfamiliar woman, she stood up and patted the dust off her hands, and said with a smile. "Sister, who are you?"

The woman nodded towards Mrs. Chen, touched Si Ya's head, and said. "I have something nice to tell you!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly said to Siya. "Siya put down the things in her hands, go into the room and bring out a stool for this aunt to sit on!"

"Alas!" Siya responded, went into the kitchen and put down the wooden basin, and came out with a bench from the room, saying. "Auntie, sit down!"

Seeing how sensible Si Ya is, the woman nodded in satisfaction. She and Second Aunt knew each other very well in the house, and helped her a lot back home, so she must take care of this matter according to her words. Siya looked sensible and well-behaved, but she looked pitiful. Seeing that Chen Chunhua's mother was well dressed, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, after all, she didn't love her daughter.

Seeing the woman sitting down, Mrs. Chen sat down together, looked at her and said. "Sister, what can you do with me?"

"Sister-in-law, I came back here to talk to you about Siya. In a village dozens of miles away, there is a family who wants to talk about a child bride-in-law. Please ask me to find out. I know that Siya in your house is well-behaved and sensible. , then came to your door and said, can you see that this can be done?"

When she heard that she was talking about Siya, Chen quickly waved her hand to Siya. Although Siya is so old, she also knows that she has heard a lot of people talking about child brides. , I didn't expect someone to come to the door today.

Si Ya was afraid of her own mother, so seeing this, she obediently entered the room, and when she entered the room, her eyes were red, and Wu Ya was helping pick beans in the room, seeing Fourth Sister's eyes red, said. "Fourth sister, why are you crying?"

"Nonsense, I didn't cry!" Said while patting Wuya lightly. "You are not allowed to talk nonsense, be careful to be listened to by mother!"

Wu Ya still didn't understand at the moment, after hearing this, she nodded and said. "Oh, I won't say anything!"

After listening to the woman's words, Mrs. Chen thought for a while and said. "It's only natural that my Siya is well-behaved and sensible. You are talking about that family. How is the house?"

The second aunt had expected Chen's question like this, and she had told the woman to speak casually, but it couldn't be said that it was from Zhaojiacun. "That family is doing well, there is an old woman in the house, and a little girl is also pleasing to think of!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen knew that the woman didn't want to talk about the name of the family, which is not surprising. Many people said that the child bride did not say the family, but it was because they were afraid that the daughter would grow up in the future. The natal family went to get him back again. "Success, I don't know, but how much is the wedding money for the child bride?"

"This number!" The woman stretched out two fingers towards Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen looked at it, and immediately lowered her face and said. "That can't be done. Although my fourth ya is still young, two renminbi is not enough for me to support her all these years!" The six mouths eating in the house are only relying on the eldest two brothers to work, and the man himself is not in good health these days. You have to take good care of it.

The woman looked at Chen's face, laughed secretly, and said. "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. What I said was two taels of silver. What's the matter, but can it be done?"

"What? Two taels of silver?" After hearing this, Mrs. Chen was slightly taken aback.Two taels of silver, just to talk about this child bride-in-law, not to mention that Siya is still so big, and Jiji is still four or five years away, who can spend two taels of silver to say open their mouths and go back, after thinking for a while, then said with a smile on her face . "Success, when will that family come to pick up the person?"

"I've made it up with you, so I'll lead the four girls to go together!" The woman's heart is also very good, seeing how happy Chen is to her own daughter and get the money, to put it bluntly, the four girls Ah, going out to be a child bride is better than living in this house!

Siya listened to what Mrs. Chen and the woman had said in the room, couldn't help it now, wept silently, smashed her eyes, big teardrops fell into the pile of beans.Seeing Fourth Sister crying so sadly, Wu Ya didn't know what was going on, so she stretched out her thin little hand to wipe the tears off her face, and said. "Fourth sister don't cry, I will share half of the pickled radish for dinner with fourth sister!"

After hearing this, Si Ya cried even more fiercely, shook her head, and said with a sob. "Five Ah, Fourth Sister won't be able to eat anymore!" She heard the aunt say that she was about to lead her away, and she was terrified in her heart. Not only that, no matter how bad life was in her own room, she couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Chen accepted the two taels of silver from the woman, and said with a happy face. "Sure, you wait, I'm going to ask Si Ya to pack up, and I'll go back with you later!" After finishing speaking, she entered the room, Si Ya saw Chen Shi coming in, and hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said in a low voice. He lowered his head, for fear that his mother would see and scold her!

"Siya, don't be too busy, pack up quickly, and go with that aunt!" Chen said, pulling Siya into the back room, looking at her and saying. "As the aunt passed by, don't think about being in the house. You can do whatever you are told to do. Although living in the house is not very good, after all, you are in your own house. When you go to someone else's house, you have to watch You are not too young anymore, you have to understand something!"

Si Ya lowered her head and nodded, the tears still couldn't help but fell, scattered on the ground and disappeared.Si Ya didn't have many things, and she wore those few clothes back and forth throughout the year, mending and mending.

After packing up everything, Mrs. Chen put away the money, then pulled Siya out of the house, looked at the woman and said. "Thank you very much. Siya went there with you. After all, she is her own daughter, so she was reluctant to part with it. Seeing her pass by, it's all better!"

The woman nodded, took Siya's things, held Siya's hand, and said. "Oh, Siya and Auntie, let's go!"

Siya didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, she just lowered her head, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she let the woman pull her out of the courtyard door, Mrs. Chen watched them go away, and then hurried back into the house , took out the two taels of silver and looked at it happily, reluctant to let go.

Wuya watched as Fourth Sister went out and didn't come back, so she went into the back room and shouted. "Mother, where did the fourth sister go, why did she disappear when she went out?"

Mrs. Chen glanced at Wuya and said. "Hurry up and pick the beans!" Seeing her mother's expression on her face, Wu Ya had no choice but to go out to work, looking outside the door from time to time, thinking that the fourth sister was still crying just now!
