The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C312 an old hen
Chen Daniu was unable to control his own wife, so he had already given up on her.
He didn’t care about his wife’s mockery. It was mainly because he really couldn’t handle the situation at home, so he decided to follow his wife and harden his heart against this useless matter. He might as well go back and get some water.
Chen Daniu wanted to help Mian Niang fetch the water, but was rejected by him. It had already been a long time since the job had been done, and Mian Niang had already gotten used to it.
Chen Daniu was unable to force her, and could only bring his wife along with him.
Only Mian Niang himself was left, she carried them up to the carriage.
The Chen Daniu couple walked quite far away, and when they turned around, they could not help but exclaim: “Don’t say, before, I really didn’t see that Mian Niang could really afford to stay here.”
“Hmph, you men think that you are the pillar of our family. You don’t even know how strong we women can be.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Then, my wife, not only must we be strong, let’s be magnanimous as well, don’t lower yourself to the same level as the other two girls in the house. Alright, let me save some refreshments when I go out to work.
“Thinking about, thinking about doesn’t mean thinking about me. With a filial son like you, I’m afraid that you will only think about your mother.”
“These words of yours are so unreasonable, can I only think of my mother?” My main concern is for you. Say, if you don’t suffer a loss, I’m afraid you will leave behind a bad reputation in the village. If you suffer a loss, I’m worried that you will suffer a grievance. ”
Chen Daniu’s wife looked at her husband sideways, as if she had already seen through him a long time ago. “Come on, just take your words to trick me, just because you want me to give way to your mother, don’t think that I won’t be able to hear it.”
After being exposed, Chen Daniu did not get angry, he only laughed, and was silly and silly.
Seeing her husband like that, Chen Daniu’s wife also understood that it was indeed difficult for him to stay in the middle. Her heart softened as she patted his shoulder and said: “Alright, alright.
I tried not to be like them. Are you relieved now? ”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. My wife is sensible and generous.” Relax my ass, with this temper of his, it would be weird if he could really control me.
Chen Daniu silently cursed.
Chen Daniu’s wife, on the other hand, felt embarrassed from his trust, thinking that his temper should really be changed. For the sake of his own husband, he shouldn’t quarrel with the other two girls in the family anymore.
Mian Niang got some water and went back to tell Madame Song about Mistress Yun’s pregnancy.
After all, she was a child who had watched her grow up from right under her nose. After marrying a good person for three months, she would be pregnant, which could be said to be a happy life for her. Madame Song was also happy for Mistress Yun, and had Mian Niang capture the old hen that had been raised for a few years and send it over for her to mend her body.
Mian Niang replied and said that she would go and catch them after getting some water.
Madame Song Li nodded.
Looking at Mian Niang pouring all the water into the water vat, and pulling the bucket with him as she walked out of the door, her heart ached. At her age, Mian Niang should have been living a happy life like Mistress Yun, but now she was only burdened by her family and worked herself to the back of her head everyday. If Mei Wu was someone who could live a peaceful life, then perhaps she would have already become a grandmother.
However, Mian Niang did not go inside the house. Only after going in and out four times did she finally fill up the water vat with water.
At this time, Song Zhien had already returned from school and was stirring up chicken food. When Mian Niang entered the house, Madame Song smiled and told Song Zhien to follow Mian Niang to catch the chicken.
Mian Niang did not know the emotions that she was hiding, and after finding out that it was indeed the old hen, she brought Song Zhien to the chicken house. The brother and sister duo immediately caused a ruckus when they went in, but luckily Song Zhien was young, had quick legs and nimble movements, and when Mian Niang pointed out which chicken it was, Mian Niang did not even need to extend her hand to catch it.
Mian Niang caught the hen in her hand.
Song Zhien swallowed his saliva as he looked at the fat chicken leg that the hens were making. Mian Niang tapped his forehead with his finger and said, “Gluttonous cat.”
Song Zhien laughed and explained himself: “Sir said that at our age, we are growing up, so it is only natural for us to want to eat whatever we see. If we do not want to eat anything, then we do not want to eat it. Of course I know that we definitely cannot eat meat in our home right now. It will take three years before we can eat meat. ”
Mian Niang pointed at his nose: “Look at how smart you are, your master has taught you so many things, but I don’t remember anything else. That’s all.”
“Heh heh.” Song Zhien scratched his head and said to Mian Niang: “Sis A, hurry up and send it to Mother Yun’s house. I will clean up the table now.
Mian Niang nodded.
She took the old hen next door.
At her house, she was preparing to eat a steamed roll with potatoes to stew the chicken.
When Mian Niang entered the room, she happened to step on someone’s food, and the two parties did not go out. A Yunniang immediately invited Mian Niang to sit down and eat together, then hurriedly moved the chair over.
Mian Niang waved his hand again and again, pointing to the old hen in his hand, she said, “My mother told me to send this over, to help her heal her body.”
A Yunniang recognized at a glance that it was the old hen that Mian Niang’s family had raised for four or five years, and immediately replied: “Why are you using this? You two just love to take it back quickly; you can’t eat it yourself, it’s also good to sell it for money.”
“How much can I sell it for? I might as well let Mistress Cloud have it.”
“I don’t eat it, I don’t need this old hen either. Our family has quite a few chickens and ducks growing, if you want to eat me, just say so. Whether it’s the parturient mother-in-law or my biological parents, they will cook it for me.” Mistress Cloud did not want it either.
“You also know how to say that you don’t need this one, so what if you eat it? You drew a circle of people but didn’t include me in it. It can be seen that you are treating me as an outsider, otherwise, you wouldn’t be willing to accept me.”
“Good girl, you’re getting sharper and sharper by the minute. Fine, we’ll keep it for now and save others the thought of us treating others as outsiders. Not only will it hurt our heart, we’ll even find fault with it. This will hurt our relationship.”
“That’s right, I’m still planning on doing that. If you don’t want it, I’m afraid I’ll have to stand at the door and not leave.” Mian Niang smiled and handed the hen over to the plug.
“This girl, her mouth is getting sharper and sharper.” As A Yunniang spoke, he took the empty plate on the table and picked up five or six flower rolls for Mian Niang: “Take them back for hyposome to eat.”
The plate was pushed back by Mian Niang.
A Yunniang could not help but scowl. “If you don’t want this, then I’ll just let Suo Zi catch the old hen and bring her back.”
Mian Niang was unable to force her, and could only accept the flower roll.
After standing and talking for a while, Mian Niang finally turned around and came out.
After returning home, Madame Song Li looked at the flower roll that Mian Niang had brought back, and frowned slightly: “Your wife, does she really love you?”
“Aunt said you were too worried.” Mian Niang laughed.
Placing the plate on the table, Song Zhien gulped down his saliva in disappointment. The white face roll was in stark contrast with the bright yellow head of the nest.
Mian Niang smiled slightly, picked up a flower roll with her chopsticks and placed it into his bowl: “Eat, Aunt said it, this is for hyposome to eat.”
Song Zhien embarrassedly looked at his mother and sister, and under their gazes, he picked up the roll of flowers and took a big bite.
“Yes, it’s delicious. There are still some green onions in here.”
“If it’s delicious, I’ll eat two more.”
Mian Niang went out to wash her hands, and when she returned, the flower roll had already been split into three parts.
“Perfect, I don’t need to imitate Kong Rong and give in. We can have two each.”
Worried that his mother and sister wouldn’t eat it, he quickly said, “You don’t need to look at me. If you don’t, I definitely won’t eat it.” Mister has taught me that I can’t eat alone. ”
Mian Niang laughed involuntarily: “Is that how your husband taught you? He directly told you not to eat alone?”
Song Zhien smirked: “Of course not, Mister told us the story of Kong Rong first, then told us, we need to know how to share.”
Madame Song Li teased him intentionally, “Then what kind of story is Kong Rong making a pear out of a pear?”
It wasn’t that she was pretending not to understand. She hadn’t read any books, so she really didn’t know anything about these stories.
When it came to reading, Song Zhien was filled with interest, and immediately told Mother a beautiful story.
Madame Song nodded as she listened, praising the good teaching of Mister Song. Her youngest son had also learned well. Being able to recite the entire story word by word, her knowledge was indeed very solid.
Mian Niang ate a flower roll and then a nest of a head. By the time the two of them had finished talking, she had already put down her chopsticks.
Song Zhien stared at the remaining flower roll in a daze, “Sis A, why aren’t you eating all of it?”
“Keep it, we’ll eat tomorrow.”
Song Zhien nodded his head, seeing that he was still sitting there, he said hurriedly: “Sis A, go take a rest, after we finish eating, I will take care of it, you do not need to worry.”
Mian Niang did not hold back and really went to rest.
The second day was the first day. Mian Niang woke up very early, made less than two plates of tofu, finished selling the tofu, and went to the county.
On the cart were the newly collected mountain goods and mushrooms, but not as much as last time. Moreover, most of the mushrooms had already been collected. If they were to harvest again, they would have to wait for spring to start in April or May.
Mian Niang rushed the furred donkey cart over to Tian Rusi’s general store first. This time, she did not see Boss Tan, only Tian Rusi was in the shop, and Mian Niang openly let Tian Rusi inspect the goods, and only after Tian Rusi said that it was okay to unload the goods, she explained the situation to Tian Rusi.
But today, Tian Rusi seemed to be a little strange, her face did not look good, and unlike usual, she revealed a smile the moment he saw her.
Mian Niang was a little doubtful, but she did not put it to heart.
He wanted to console her, but he didn’t have the nerve to say it out loud.
Fortunately, Tian Rusi herself was released very quickly, she smiled and said: “Xiao Song, just wait for me, I will go and get the money for you.”
Mian Niang nodded her head, she was just curious, she did not go behind the counter to get the money, but wanted to go into the house to get it, and after a moment she realised, the money was given to her by Boss Tan, she must put it in a safe and secure place, of course she would not place all the money inside the counter carelessly.
Mian Niang could not change her upright and honest personality. Hearing Tian Rusi’s words, she simply waited in the room, and very quickly, Tian Rusi came out. Pushing up the door curtain, she looked at Mian Niang, who was standing there with her back facing him, and felt her heart skip a beat.
He then smiled and called out, “Brother Xiao Song.”
Mian Niang turned her head.
Tian Rusi said: “I say, don’t just take in the mountain goods in your village. In this eight miles area, you can take them all, and with what Boss Tan wants, the more he wants, the better. The more he takes away, the more money we have, what do you think?”
While she was speaking, her legs suddenly slipped, and with a “Ah” sound, Mian Niang hurriedly rushed forward and supported her. Tian Rusi fell into her embrace, and placed both of his hands on her chest.
Mian Niang’s face turned green.
Tian Rusi’s expression did not look any better either.
