A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

Yan Shu has regained her independent identity. Some people in the village are happy for her, while others are criticizing her.

She didn't care about these irrelevant people. Now the two of them and one dog can live as comfortably as they want. The only regret is that there is no man in the family. Although the aunt in the village intends to set up a match, how can Yan Shu let herself jump into the fire pit again for a man? .

It was noon, and green smoke was rising from the chimneys of most houses in the village, and Yan Shu's kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat.

What is being cooked in the pot today is konjac duck, which is a famous home-cooked dish. Konjac was dug and ground by Yan Shu in the fields. In this era, no one probably knew that konjac could be eaten. The fragrant and sizzling duck meat mixed with the refreshing taste of konjac made the egg yolk standing at the edge of the stove groan and swallow.

"Go, Egg Yolk, be obedient and go and guard outside the door. I'll give you some meat and bones later!" After hearing the master's instructions, Egg Yolk walked out with his head drooped and his tail between his legs.

Yaya was not idle either. She sat in front of the stove and watched the fire in the stove, adding firewood from time to time.

"Woof, woof woof!" Egg Yolk's childish cry sounded outside the gate. As Egg Yolk's screams became more and more urgent, Yan Shu knew that someone must have come to her house.

Yaya trotted out to take a look, and shouted to Yan Shu inside the house: "Mom, it's grandpa, grandpa is here." Yan Shu immediately scooped up the vegetables in the pot, wiped her hands and walked out.

They hadn't seen each other for almost a year, and in Yan Shu's impression, the old man in front of him looked even thinner and older.

"Father, why are you here!"

"Why can't I come? You girl, now that you have established your own business, you don't know how to inform your father. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that you have done something big, but I, the father, don't know. You said you would take me Are you your father?"

Wen Liangchu was wearing a blue robe, with a stern face, holding a folding fan in one hand and a pack of sesame cakes wrapped in oil paper in the other.

"Dad still remembers that I love to eat sesame cakes." Yan Shu felt warm in her heart and decided not to care about Wen Liangchu's previous meanness to her.

Yaya pulled Wen Liangchu into the house and sat down. Yan Shu put the food on the plate and said, "Dad, it took me a while to handle everything, and I haven't had time to visit you yet. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want to make you angry because of the neighbors' gossip. ." After saying that, I gave him a piece of duck leg meat. I picked another duck wing for Yaya, and the family happily ate lunch. Egg Yolk unceremoniously picked up the leftovers under the table.

"I'm not here to eat today, I have something serious to discuss with you."

"You see you have left the Li family now, and it is not easy to raise a child again. You should find a reliable man to live with again."

Wen Liangchu paused for a moment, "I have already accepted the marriage for you. It is Yu Jin, a young man from our village. Now he has passed the scholar examination. This time he also took the initiative to come to our house to propose marriage after hearing about you. I Seeing as you are childhood sweethearts and we know each other well, it is a good marriage, so I made the decision for you."

"Dad, look at me now that I have a house and land, do I have to have a man to make a living? Besides, I have a child with me. What do you think will be different if I marry into the Li family based on Yu Jin's family background?"

"Mom, I don't want you to get married. Let's live here and not go anywhere, okay?"

There was a worried look in Yaya's eyes. She only knew that she was happy with her mother Dangyang now, but she didn't want to live another life like before when the whole family bullied them.

"You kid, don't interrupt when adults are talking. You don't understand. This will hurt your mother."

Yaya curled her lips and ignored her grandfather's words.

"You should think more about yourself. Since you have severed ties with the Li family, the children should naturally be returned to them, so that you can easily marry into the Yu family. Of course, this is what Yu Xiucai proposed when he came to propose marriage. The only condition.”

"Dad, please stop talking. It's impossible for me to leave Yaya and get married. You have to take responsibility for the things you promised others. When I was desperate and came to beg you, you didn't help me and I didn't complain at all. How can you do it now? Push me into the fire pit again. There is no way I can agree to this marriage. Please come back soon!"

"You kid didn't listen to me. It's only because your mother left early and I, the father, didn't teach you well."

Wen Liangchu was a typical dogmatic scholar who favored boys over girls. Yan Shu knew that in such an era it was not his fault, he could only turn a deaf ear.

"Okay, if you don't listen to me, I can't do anything to you. At least you can meet Yu Xiucai once, which shows that your feelings have made him stop thinking about it. After all, we are neighbors. We can't see each other when we look up. How will we get along in the future? ?”

Wen Liangchu could only retreat and persuade his daughter to deal with the consequences of what he had promised.

"Okay, I understand. I hope dad won't have to worry about my affairs in the future. I am such an old man that I know how to live my own life."

This time the father and daughter got together unhappy. The biggest headache for Yan Shu was how to face Yu Jin. They were childhood sweethearts, but Yu Jin had always had wishful thinking for the charming Yan Shu, otherwise she would never have married into the Li family.

A few days later, Yan Shu was drying clothes in the yard, while Egg Yolk and Yaya were chasing and playing happily next to her. Suddenly Egg Yolk stomped on the ground and shook his head, making a barking sound of "woof, woof, woof".

Yan Shu looked at the posture and knew that someone must be visiting her home again. As soon as she turned around, she was stunned for a moment.

A scholar with a slender figure and a handsome face wearing a green shirt and robe stood outside the fence of the yard.

The man broke the silence first: "Sister Yan Shu, long time no see!"

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

Although Yan Shu's memory was blurry, she still knew that this was Yu Jin's brother who she had grown up with. It's just that they haven't seen each other for a few years, and both parties seem a bit reserved.

Yan Shu invited Yu Xiucai into the house and sent Yaya and Egg Yolk to play at the door of the hall. It's so open and bright so that everyone won't be embarrassed.

"I didn't know that my brother was coming. I originally planned to go back to my parents' house and explain my father's ridiculous things to my brother in person, but I haven't had time for the past two days."

"It's okay. I came here specifically to ask my sister about her feelings."

"Since you married into the Li family, I have devoted myself to studying, and I have achieved certain results in the past two years. But I can't let go of my concern for my sister." Yu Xiucai is worthy of being a scholar, speaking softly and logically. .

He paused and continued: "Originally, I no longer had any objections to you joining the Li family. But now that your head is gone, it is not easy to raise a child alone, so I told your father Let’s talk about our marriage.”

"I don't think there is anything wrong with this. Now that I have passed the examination as a scholar, my mother is also worried about my marriage. I directly said that I hope to be with you, so that I can take care of you."

Yan Shu knew the situation of Yu Xiucai's family very well. They were childhood sweethearts before, and when she was young, she also placed her hopes on Yu Jin.

However, Yu Jin's father died young, and it was his mother Ji who supported Yu Jin.

Looking at modern times, Ji is a strong mother. She looks down on the country girls around Yu Jin. Only the daughter of a prince, general and prime minister is worthy of her son.

The Ji family had cut off the bud of love between the two a few years ago, and now it was even more impossible for Yan Shu to allow Yan Shu to bring a prostitute into her Yu family.

She Wen Yanshu didn't want to live the rest of her life in the Yu family. Although Yu Jin still had a trace of affection for her, it was just a turbulent loneliness that he didn't get. In the end, he was caught between her mother and daughter-in-law like a double-sided tape, which she was unwilling to bear.

"I already know what my brother wants. But I can't promise you!"

This short sentence made Yu Xiucai's face darker. Although he had already gotten the answer from Wen Liangchu before coming, he still wanted to come and fight for it himself. The result is both reasonable and unexpected.

"Give me a reason! You are free now, and no one can say anything when we are together." Yu Xiucai said reluctantly.

"Brother, you are already a scholar and have read more books than me. Even if we are together, the existing etiquette will make it difficult for us to move forward."

"The most important step is Aunt Ji. I don't want you to be known as disrespectful and unfilial because of me. Besides, I won't ignore my children just because I get married." After saying that, he turned to look at the door lovingly and innocently. Innocent Yaya.

"It's impossible for everything to go back to the past. Brother, you have to look forward and marry a better wife. You will be satisfied, your mother will be satisfied, and everything will be happy for your family. Don't let me put you and Aunt Ji at odds with each other again. . I wish you a smooth career and a happy family!"

Yu Xiucai had clearly received Yan Shu's rejection, so what reason did he have to continue to pester her. Yan Shu analyzed his own situation very clearly. He just couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart. He said nothing more, stood up and said goodbye to Yan Shu, telling Yan Shu to come to him if she had any difficulties.

After Yu Jin left, Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Now she has no love in her heart and is invincible.
