Chapter 251 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (1)
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law.”
Someone around her kept tugging at her sleeves.
Xu Yin opened her eyes in confusion.
“Sister-in-law, are you awake? I’ll call my second brother!”
The thin little **** in ancient costume, with her dull yellow hair, said timidly and ran out.
Xu Yin rubbed her forehead and began to absorb the plot of this world. After reviewing it, her face turned green.
She was dressed as a vicious heroine this time.
Before getting married, I was lazy at home, unable to do anything, and had nothing to eat. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, she was already a big girl in ancient times, and she competed with her nephews and nieces for dry food.
When her original parents were still alive, they would scold her, but they would never kick her out.
But at the beginning of last year, my family was not getting along well. My father followed the young men in the village to hunt in the mountains. He was chased by a hungry tiger and fell off the Guantou Cliff. No bones were left.
The original mother was devastated and fell ill afterwards. She stayed in bed for ten months and left before the Chinese New Year.
The only person who was willing to accommodate her was gone, and her sister-in-law, who had always been dissatisfied with her, began to show off her power and insisted on driving the lazy sister-in-law out.
But for no reason, my parents-in-law kicked out my sister-in-law not long after they left. It didn’t sound good, so I changed the explanation: get married.
Her brother has a sharp ear, and he will do whatever his wife says.
But everyone within a ten-mile radius knew about the original character, and no one came to ask for matchmaking. I took the initiative to find two families, but they refused even if they didn't want a betrothal gift.
She had no choice but to see her getting older and worried that if she stayed, she might have to support her for the rest of her life. Her sister-in-law asked her parents to look for her in another village. The money for the bride price was negotiable, and she just wanted someone to ask for it as soon as possible. .
It just so happened that in Lijia Village, thirty miles away, there was a family whose parents had both died. The elder man was drafted to serve in the military when he turned sixteen, and he went to a far-off border, leaving two little carrots with no one at home. take care of.
The uncle in the next room was worried that the burden of these two little carrots would burden his family, so he wanted to find a wife for the elder man. It doesn't matter if you don't have a dowry, just marry her quickly and take care of your younger brothers and sisters.
The two families hit it off immediately.
As a result, the original person was forced to marry into the impoverished Li family.
I haven’t even seen my husband in person, but I have to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister-in-law first.
This is unbearable for the original person who is used to eating well and being lazy about cooking.
The Li family was poorer than her natal family. They could only eat a dry meal in the first few days, but then she ran out of fine rice and had to reduce it to two meals a day, and it was still thin coarse grain porridge, which she could only eat with water. Within a few days, she couldn't stand it anymore.
That day, I vaguely heard Erlang muttering to himself in the back room, as if his parents had left a ginseng plant for their three siblings. Erlang wanted to exchange it for food, but he couldn't part with it. It was left by his parents to save their lives. If you sell it, it will be gone. I am so confused.
After hearing this, the original person came up with the idea of ginseng.
She pretended to be unwell, coaxed Erlang to take out the ginseng, and ran away with a salesman with the money she got from the ginseng on the pretext of seeing a doctor.
It was just a runaway, but the salesman she followed was actually a private trafficker, and selling goods was just a cover.
Hearing from Yuan Shen that there were no adults in the Li family, just two little carrot heads, he immediately had evil thoughts.
The two of them cooperated inside and outside, and deceived the carrot heads of the Li family into the outside world. They gagged their mouths, stuffed them into carriages, and transported them to other places to be sold to families who were in need of sons or child brides.
Seeing that it was so easy to get money, the few guilty feelings in my heart quickly disappeared.
In addition, Fucheng, where Lijiacun is located, suffered from droughts and locust plagues that year, resulting in no harvests. The local people fled to other places. Those with relatives went to relatives, and those without relatives begged along the way. In this way, she indirectly saved two carrot heads. , let them have a good family to accept them, and they will feel less guilty.
The following year, the border war was victorious, and Li Dalang, who had made military exploits, was favored to return to his hometown to visit relatives. However, villagers who returned home one after another told him that his younger siblings had disappeared before the famine, or that they might be related to his wife, whom he had never met.
After he was angry, he used his contacts in the past two years to start tracing.
The younger brother and sister were never found, but the original person who was still following the salesman to do harm to the director was found.
In the end, the vicious female supporting character died under the sword of the male lead.
Xu Yin trembled.
The worn door panel was pushed open, and four-year-old Li Sanmei pulled seven-year-old Li Erlang across the threshold and walked in.
“Sister-in-law.”
The dark and thin Li Erlang pursed his lips, took out the small ginseng that his father had dug in the mountains in the early years, and reluctantly handed it to Xu Yin, "Here you go, this can cure diseases."
Even though the brother and sister don't like this sister-in-law, after all, it is their uncle who has chosen a wife for their eldest brother. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Even if they don't like her, they can only endure it.
Now I see her lying on the bed sickly, complaining of cold and fever. I once heard a doctor say that if she is hot and cold, she may be suffering from typhoid fever. If it is not treated in time, she will die if it becomes serious.
Li Erlang couldn't help but think of his mother who also died of typhoid fever three years ago. His eyes darkened, and he thought about it all night and decided to take out the ginseng.
"for you!"
Seeing that Xu Yin didn't move, he handed it forward again.
“Thank you, Erlang.”
Xu Yin thought for a while, took the ginseng, stuffed it under the pillow, sat up and asked them:
“Have you eaten? I’m going to cook. What do you want to eat?”
“…” Li Erlang was silent.
Li Sanmei timidly said: "There is nothing left at home."
Xu Yin: “…”
Recalling the plot in the book: The original person married into the Li family and coaxed the brother and sister to eat up the food they had saved, which was still not enough.
After thinking about it, she decided to go up to the mountain.
“You two stay at home, and I’ll go to the mountains to take a look.”
"You can't go! There are big insects on the mountain that can eat people." Li Erlang stopped her.
Xu Yin’s heart skipped a beat.
Yes, the original father was chased down the mountain by a hungry tiger.
How can we get food out there if we don’t go to the mountain?
“Then let me go and have a look in the fields?”
"Our family has no land." Li Erlang curled his lips, "My aunt said that our family did not have strong labor force, so the land we kept was wasted, so we took our land to plant. It was agreed that one acre of land would be given half a stone of grain every year, but the annual income No, I never gave it."
“No matter how bad the year is, there is always a harvest.” Xu Yin stroked her sleeves, “Let’s go! Let’s ask them for food!”
…”
Xu Yin picked up Li Sanmei.
With a four-year-old baby, don’t worry about leaving her alone at home.
Li Sanmei's little body was stiff when she picked her up, and she glanced at Xu Yin timidly.
Xu Yin smiled gently at her and said, "My uncle's house is far away. My sister-in-law will carry you there."
“Thank you, sister-in-law.”
On the way to Uncle Li’s house, Xu Yin asked Erlang: “How much land does our family have in total?”
Know yourself and your enemy and you will always be victorious. When you come to ask for land rent, you must first know how much land there is.
"Three acres and seven cents. When my parents were here, there were eight acres and seven cents. Later... my eldest brother sold five acres to my parents for medical treatment... When he went to serve, half of the remaining money was exchanged for grain, and the other half was given to his uncle. Let them take care of me and my third sister."
At this point, Li Erlang glanced at Xu Yin quietly and whispered: "But my uncle said that they didn't spend the money and used it to give the eldest brother a bride price."
Xu Yin paused, then laughed angrily: What a nuisance gift!
The new world is still beautiful, believe me (don’t leave)
