The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 92
It is indeed possible to live with two people in the family to help with the work, but she does not like the presence of outsiders in her family, and cooking and other things, two of them can do it together, and she can talk.
Zhou Chengkang on the side has already taken the lead in saying, “We don’t like having outsiders at home.”
The two looked at each other, both disappointed, and sighed, “We really can’t do anything. Our parents are partial, and the land allocated to us is very remote and deserted. It’s not as good as yours, and it doesn’t cost one acre. When we are at home, the two of us are at home, and Su Ri relies on part-time jobs for people. For this, parents often ask us to be filial… Thinking of the goodwill of the owner, we can just help you work, but it still seems impossible.”
The two turned around, planning to pack up and leave.
Zhou Chengkang thought for a while, “If you are willing, I will build a house on the other side of the pond, where you live, help me with work during the day, and help me see the pond at night.”
Hearing this, the two were overjoyed, thanked them repeatedly, and responded in a hurry.
“The wages are not much. I will give you three dollars a month.” Zhou Chengkang said seriously and solemnly, “but you have to work hard, and I can fire you at any time.”
Hearing this, the couple agreed.
Their autumn harvest is over, and the other ones are almost there. Zhou Chengkang took the man from that family, Yu Ermo, to help Zhou Mu for two days.
“I heard that my mother-in-law gave birth to him when he was grinding grain.” Chen’s family swept the yard, and he was not idle. He said to Li Qinghe, who was sitting under the eaves and hugged the child to bask in the sun, “My father-in-law. I married a second mill casually. The big and sensible at the top, the small at the bottom, be careful. A lot of people’s second children are at a disadvantage. I am also the second. I already have a sister in front, and a younger brother in the back. I also ignore me a lot. Anyway, you have to take a bite of the meal. If you pay more attention to it, you can carry it by yourself. I remember one time when I was sick and groggy. I was probably… about ten years old and no one at home cared about me. When I woke up, I ran to the roadside and picked some grass and came back to boil water. I don’t know if I picked the right herbs. It was my life.”
She held the broom under her chin, “Anyway, I made up my mind at that time, if I have children in the future, no matter how many I am, I will never be partial! Our husband and wife have suffered enough from partiality.”
While speaking, he shook his head. Li Qinghe couldn’t help but want to laugh, and she felt a little bit sour. From this point of view, Zhou Mu was really good, and she was not partial to anyone. Anyway, as long as she doesn’t take advantage of her son, it’s still easy to talk.
The autumn harvest was over. Early this morning, Zhou Chengkang took the Zhou family, including the pregnant fifth sister, to the yard of the town’s Liu Pozi.
The Wumei couple mainly came to see the doctor. The autumn harvest was busy a few days ago. Although Wumei didn’t have to go to the ground, she would inevitably do some housework. Everyone in the family was busy. She was really embarrassed to let her lie at home and wait for food. When she went to the kitchen to cook yesterday afternoon, she fell down.
I didn’t feel any pain at the time. At night, my stomach started to faintly hurt. I couldn’t help but tell Zhao Liyuan. As a result, he didn’t sleep all night. So early in the morning, he came to find Zhou Chengkang to send Wumei to the town to see the doctor in his carriage.
As a result, I heard that I was going to talk to Boss Zhou and happened to be together.
When they arrived in the town, the five sisters went to see the doctor first, and Zhou Chengkang’s carriage went directly to the backstreet of the restaurant and stopped at the gate of Po Liu’s courtyard.
After knocking on the door, Mei clan opened the door. He was a little surprised to see that Zhou’s family was there. He smiled and said, “Mother, why did you come today? It will be the show tomorrow. Did you remember the wrong day?”
The last sentence is pure joking.
No one in Zhou’s family laughed. Mei found something wrong. Even at the fair, there was no family in the street neatly together. It was not Chinese New Year.
She helped everyone get tea, and then tentatively asked, “Mother, what’s the matter?”
“Where is the boss?” Mother Zhou looked at the yard, there was a plate of tofu over there, which seemed to be half sold, like a small stall. It should be said that it was put there on purpose, waiting for someone to buy it at home.
Mei reluctantly smiled, “I went to the street, I should be back soon. Recently, business has been good, and many people came to get it at home, and I can’t go away.”
It seems that she vaguely guessed what the Zhou family came from.
Just at this moment, the gate of the yard was pushed open, and Mr. Zhou came in with a burden. At first glance, he saw a lot of people sitting in the yard. He was a little surprised, “Mother, second brother, third brother and fourth brother, why are you all here? Isn’t something wrong?”
“Are you busy?” Zhou Mu asked coldly.
“It’s really busy. Now I have to make half more tofu than some time ago. It can be sold out.” Zhou Lao laughed loudly, seeing her mother’s cold face, and said, “You will also bring some back to eat later. It’s not easy in town.”
“It’s not easy.” Zhou Mu nodded in agreement, “it is not easy to let you go home. Boss, if you think about it, how long have you not been home?”
“I’m very busy here.” As he spoke, he put the tofu in his load, watching his posture, and then leaving.
Mother Zhou asked again, “No matter how busy you are, can you still be busy with the autumn harvest at home?”
It’s straightforward enough. Boss Zhou finally reacted and said with a smile, “Mother, there are two younger brothers at home. One person will help you, and the land will be cleaned up. Besides, how much harvest can you have? If you can’t do anything, just give it to It doesn’t matter if they do it after the third brother.”
In terms of words, I look down on it.
The family arrived, and he refused to stop and say a few words, especially the contemptuous tone that mentioned the place at home, which really hurt Zhou Mu. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, she sighed, and took a look at the rest. Son, “Let’s go back. Since he is busy, we won’t delay him.”
Boss Zhou finally found out that it was wrong, “Mother, what happened? Why did you leave when you came?”
“Meihua, you go cook. Later, Liu Niang and some younger brothers will have dinner.”
“You can eat if you are full of anger.” It was Zhang Haiyao who said this. “Big brother, don’t look at your old age, in fact, you are not as transparent as the third child. At least she helped her mother for two days. Like me, no matter how lazy I am, I will help cook for a few days. The fourth brother also brought the helper hired by others to the house to work, so I am afraid that my mother will be tired. You are good, and you are very busy… this autumn harvest, Who is not busy?”
She has a mean tone and expressions in her eyes full of disdain. Boss Zhou finally reacted, “Mother, I was thinking about going back to see you after these two days. Don’t you have some younger brothers to help?”
Zhang Haiyao sneered, “I won’t go back for a few months, it’s ugly, I’m afraid it’s a mother’s death…”
Zhou Laosan glared at her, frightened to stop talking.
“There is nothing to say, there will be that day sooner or later. You are busy with you.” She looked at Zhou Chengkang, “The fourth child, take us back. From now on, I won’t come here again.”
Hearing this, Boss Zhou was busy at the door, “Mother, I’m here, let’s eat first. I am really busy during this time. When I am free, I will go home to accompany you.”
It’s no wonder that Zhou’s mother has been disappointed since the two bosses of Zhou moved to the town and haven’t returned home for nearly half a year. I wanted to have a good conversation, but I was too busy to talk.
When he got on the carriage, Zhang Haiyao was angrily, “They are rich, they look down on us, the sister-in-law wears gold bracelets and gold rings on her hands.”
This Li Qinghe really didn’t pay attention. In such a small town, they lived with two of them. The courtyard wall was not high, so Jin Dai was serious? Not afraid of recruiting thieves?
Wumei was waiting for them at the entrance of the town, a little surprised, “Is it so fast?”
Li Qinghe pulled her up, “What did the doctor say?”
“It should be okay. Just be careful not to fall anymore.” Wu Mei looked fortunate, and Zhao Liyuan carefully supported her.
After hearing this, Zhou Mu’s expression relaxed a little, “Be careful in the future and work less. Do you want to go home and stay with me for a while?”
Is this feeling lonely? Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to bring all my sons to town to find Boss Zhou, and I would be sad.
Mother Zhou’s temperament was not the kind that would hold her anger in this way, but just say whatever she has. For example, she had quarreled with Granny Liu before, even if she had been afraid of it?
“Mother, please go to my house soon.” Zhou Chengkang smiled. “The newcomer Yu Zizi, she talks a lot, you must be able to talk.”
Li Qinghe agreed, “Yes, sometimes it feels like ears become callous.”
“Okay.” Mother Zhou responded in one bite, and took a particularly close look at Li Qinghe’s expression.
Just look, she is really not afraid of her living, how much can she eat alone? Besides, Xiyu has become bigger and bigger recently, and she has to be led to walk, so the adult bends over and supports her, and her waist is sore within a quarter of an hour. Zhou’s mother likes children very much, and everyone is happy to ask her to help.
So, when she went home, she really went home to pack up some things, and followed the carriage to the new house. And as soon as he entered the door, he began to coax Xiyu, seeming to forget the unpleasantness in the town.
There are so many things from the Chen family, especially after Zhou Chengkang instructed her to pick up some things that happened in their village and talk to Zhou’s mother.
In fact, at first Zhou’s mother was reluctant to live with the two of them for a long time. After two days of contact, she brought her child to talk with the Chen family who was working. Li Qinghe has taken the child for more than half a year, and has finally been able to loosen up these few days, and he went up the mountain to hunt with Zhou Chengkang. Because Zhou’s mother was watching at home, it would be fine even after dark.
The two came back that day, and the moon came out when they got home. Zhou’s mother took the child and sorted out the mushrooms brought back from the mountain with them. There were many dead leaves in it. While she picked it up, she whispered, “This afternoon, Qian The mother and daughter are back.”
came back?
“Does anyone trouble her?” Li Qinghe was curious.
“And it’s not the turn of others to find him, You’s rushed to find her desperately, and the two started fighting at the entrance of the village.” Zhou Mu shook her head, “How can she beat You’s before, and her clothes are torn. The hair is messy, and Yushi hasn’t let her go.”
“So cruel.” Li Qinghe was speechless, “Is there anyone to help her?”
She was a little afraid of Li Fu running to help. After all, he had been protecting the Qian family for many years, what if he got used to it?
“There is no one to help.” Zhou Mu shook her head, “There are so many people watching the excitement, who would dare to pull it? She killed the Qian family’s scholars, and You’s got into a desperate posture. But then, everyone again. Began to pity her.”
“Qian was unable to fight and started crying, saying that she had no younger brother. When her brother died, many people said that she deserved it, and many people talked about it during the New Year.”
Indeed, I remember that during the Chinese New Year that year, Zhou’s mother also said that he hoped that he would not kill his parents for funerals in the future.
