Chapter 3

"By the way, Jingu, my mother asked you to take a message to Xiatang village. Did you take it?"

Deng Jingu took a basin of cold water and brought it to the osmanthus tree in the yard. There was a small bamboo table. He took a handkerchief to wet and wring out the water, wiped a few sweats on his body, and then replied: "when I went to play pig grass, I went to Siya's mother's house by the way. However, her father and brother-in-law were not at home, only our elder sister and mother-in-law were at home!"

"Did she say to bring the fish back?" Ji Chunhua only cares about this.

But Deng Jingu was not happy, and said: "Niang, when the eldest sister was changed, she didn't have a dowry. How can she often take the fish home? Siya's family depends on fishing for a living, and they all take the fish back to our family. What does Siya's family eat? Oh, they all go to eat northwest wind? What's more, you don't care for your elder sister. At least you care for your poor grandson, who is only a few months old! "

"I'm willing to spend copper. What can I do if I want some fish from her family? Does my mother love you and the Golden Lock? In the past two years, the harvest in the field is not good, and your father's business is much worse. It's very good to have fish to help you

Ji Chunhua saw Deng Jingu's unhappy face, and immediately roared: "don't mention that to me. You and Jinsuo are my lifeblood. After you fell into the water, you scared my soul half. Don't mention fishing in the river to me. Once I find you or Jinsuo, I won't break your legs."

After scolding, she was not satisfied with it, and then she bawled fiercely, and then said: "hum, I was born to collect debts, and I have to catch a loser. My daughter only takes things to her mother's house. When your elder sister comes back home, she doesn't just pull a few vegetables and grab two handfuls of rice."

"Niang, the rice didn't fall into other people's mouth. It was all boiled into your grandson's stomach. The Lin family is living in the river. There are so many free vegetables to grow. Siya Niang's eyes don't work. What good vegetables can she grow?" After wiping his sweat, Deng Jin splashed the water under the osmanthus tree nearby and said, "besides, where did the Lin family catch more fish? Didn't they all ask the elder sister to send them?"

"More fish? Several times a year, I can count all the time. I still help her raise a daughter Ji Chunhua is uncomfortable. She feels that her family is losing money. Her eldest daughter married to the Lin family when she was 15 years old. At that time, Lin Anxin was only six years old when she was replaced.

Can a six-year-old girl compare with 15-year-old Deng Jinchai in her work?

Naturally, there is no comparability.

Therefore, Ji Chunhua said that she was helping the Lin family raise their daughter. Lin Anxin is now carrying a shell. At the age of six, she can't do heavy work. She can only help sweep the floor, wash dishes, feed chickens and so on.

It's so easy to be raised at the age of eight or nine. The original owner can go down to help Ji Chunhua take care of her vegetable garden, or go out to hunt pig grass or wash clothes.

Because Deng Dalang is a peddler, the Deng family can't buy land. Ji Chunhua is a shrewd man. He opens up the wasteland behind his home, plants half an acre of vegetables, and cooks them in rice. At least he can support her family and save hundreds of copper coins every year.

The original owner's mother's family is a fisherman. There is a shabby boat in her family. Every day, she only lives in the river and lives on the boat. On the bank, there is only a shabby thatched cottage, which is windy all around. It's only in winter that she will dock the boat and go back to the thatched cottage to prepare for the new year.

Therefore, Ji Chunhua would hate Lin Siya's family.

"Mother, I'll go outside and see where the golden lock is." Deng Jingu couldn't stand his mother's nagging, so she ran away.

Ji Chunhua was so angry in the yard: "this son has eggs, but I'm not old enough to walk. I'm despised by this son of a bitch, bah!"

After all, she didn't chase out, just picked up the bamboo broom to clean the yard.

Lin Anxin was upset when she heard that. Although she had been wearing it for less than a day, she could understand that the original owner had no place in the family and did not know how to survive in ancient times.

Want identity without identity, want status without status, want silver without silver

Through the great God, how can she be so unloved? I don't even give a novice equipment. She is not familiar with the place of life. No, how can she survive in a strange world?

She did not have any of the survival skills of an ancient woman, such as embroidering flowers or weaving cloth to sell, not to mention the little cook who was full of skills. She could exchange a large amount of silver with a recipe.

Lin Anxin said that she is too determined. She can't do it at all. She can only eat, buy, and be a black sheep.

The villain in her heart has already pulled her hand and cried: tears run, tears run, tears never stop

She doesn't want her elder sister to be Lori. Can she start over again? She promises that she will never be a humble person again. She asks the God to let her go

Lin Anxin is lying on the bed with a face of lovelessness. She is thinking about whether she wants to be a family of people who bow their heads again and get hit by a car.

After a second thought, the tears of the little people in my heart have become a vast ocean. What a pity, in ancient times like this, where can I drive fast!

She thought again, last time I was hanging, and she was afraid that she would suffer from suffocation. In case she was saved and didn't die, what would she do if she became a fool because of lack of oxygen?She did not dare to jump into the river, for fear that it would submerge too slowly, choke on the water, and it would be hard for her to die.

All in all, she thinks that those methods are not good and can not solve problems quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Lin Anxin will not look directly at his heart: it is better to live than to die.

She won't admit that she's afraid of death.

She thinks wildly, but I don't know how long later, Ji Chunhua in the yard is still swearing and falling things. Lin Anxin doesn't have the heart to see it. She's not stupid. If she goes out to see it at this time, if Ji Chunhua finds out, she will send it directly to the muzzle of the gun.

"Creak!" The hidden gate of the yard was pushed open.

A tall, white woman with a blue head cloth and a denim dress came in, holding a baby in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other.

"Mother!"

Ji Chunhua heard the cry, looked up and said, "do you know how to come back? I thought that if I spilled your water, I didn't know my family name. I didn't remember that I came out of my mother's stomach. My mother gave birth to you and raised you. When you got married, I really forgot what my family name was. I wanted to please your mother-in-law. How could I give birth to you so stupid that I was dying? Did I lack your dowry or didn't pamper you when I was in my mother's family? "

"Mother, what's the matter? As soon as I come back, you will tell me! Besides, my wife's family gave betrothal gifts at that time. " It was Deng Jinling, the second daughter of the Deng family, who married to the baozi stall in the town.

"No, who are you? Why did I give birth to you, an unfilial thing? I knew you were like this. I should have put you back in my stomach at the beginning. Don't mention betrothal gifts to me. At the beginning, together with the betrothal gifts, I took out a lot of money and added a lot of things for you to marry. " When Ji Chunhua saw Deng Jinling, it was really her nose, not her nose, and her eyes were not her eyes.

"I married my daughter, but I didn't sell my daughter. If I said you were stupid, you wouldn't admit it!"

Speaking of this, Ji Chunhua's anger did not come out at all. She did ask for four liang of silver as a betrothal gift. The betrothal gift was outstanding in all the townships. She calculated for whom, not for her daughter's future standing in her mother-in-law's house. She didn't covet the silver. She used the four liang of silver to add two mu of drought to her daughter, and then asked for it He has already bought a dowry from two and a half hanging coppers.

Who knows, her second daughter looks smart. In fact, she is so stupid that she only cares about her mother-in-law's family, but she refuses to spend any of her thoughts on her mother-in-law's family.

"Niang, I've come back to see you. Why am I unfilial? Niang, I've sent you fresh meat buns, golden drum and golden lock this time." Deng Jinling handed the bamboo basket to Ji Chunhua.

Ji Chunhua took the bamboo basket, lifted up the bamboo cover and looked at it. She twisted her eyebrows and glared at Deng Jinling: "there are only four."

Deng Jinling, holding the baby, looked around the yard and answered casually: "there are only four people in our family, mother and father, and two brothers. Mother, I'm not wrong. Today's business is good. A passing official asked my father-in-law and mother-in-law to make ten more buns. My mother-in-law was in a good mood, so she gave me four. Mother, I can't bear to eat them by myself I've got it back. "

Ji Chunhua's eyes looked at the second daughter of her family. She didn't say anything again.

"Oh, no, what about Siya? Where does this lazy guy hide from being lazy? Niang is just a child's daughter-in-law. Why is she still used to her? If I were, I would take off her skin and see if she would be lazy. "

In Deng Jinling's heart, Lin Siya is not her third brother's daughter-in-law, but her mother's servant. She should be responsible for all the dirty, smelly and tired things.

"In the house, lying dead!" Ji Chunhua didn't give Deng Jinling another look at the four steamed buns. She pointed to the east wing.

"Niang, I'm not the talkative girl. When is it? Whose daughter-in-law dares to be so lazy? You can't break your legs. Mother, if you are so used to her, I'll treat you old in the future and see if she can make you better

Season spring flower smell speech immediately thick eyebrow handstand, angry way: "she dares!"

What kind of temperament is Lin Siya? She doesn't know?

"Sick!"

After thinking about it, Ji Chunhua said why Lin Siya was lying in bed.

"Sick?" Deng Jinling was surprised. She really didn't believe it. The four girls of the Lin family looked thin and weak. Since she came to her mother's home at the age of six, she had never seen her sick: "she's just a cheap girl, and it's worth my mother's trouble?"

"Come on, don't say a few words. You've got a fever. Can you let her burn to death? Do your two younger brothers want to stay in Shangtang village? " Ji Chunhua didn't have a good mood and pointed to a small bamboo basket on the steps of the main house.

"Just in time, you're here. Help me to pinch the lentils quickly."

When sun Cuihua was here before, Ji Chunhua asked her to help. Unexpectedly, sun Cuihua just pinched two or three of them, and slapped her thigh fiercely. She said that the pig in the family had not been fed, and the fire in the stove had not been put out. She gave it up for a while. The meaning of the story is to go home.
