Brother Beggar refuses to beg

Fortunately, this family was just strangers to him, and he didn't take it too seriously. After drinking the vegetable soup slowly, he started practicing again.

On the second day after Yin Su woke up, his stepmother He Shi came to see him, and said impatiently: "Hurry up to recover from your injuries, there is a lot of work waiting to be done at home, eating for free all day without working, life is really impossible." It's over."

Then he left just like that, with two supercilious eyes.

Yin Su naturally wouldn't be as knowledgeable as a peasant woman, he continued to practice his skills and heal his injuries, and didn't care about external affairs.

After three days like this, Yin Baoer would bring a bowl of vegetable soup sooner or later every day. As soon as he came, Yin Su would lie down and pretend to sleep, and when he left, he would get up and drink the soup to continue practicing.

The physical injuries gradually healed, and walking slowly did not hurt so much, and the bones of the left leg had begun to heal.He has also figured out the general situation of the family, and can distinguish the general interpersonal relationship and everyone's voice.

On this day, not long after he had breakfast, he heard a strange voice outside the courtyard, as if he was talking to his younger sister-in-law who had just started. Soon, the door of the firewood room was pushed open.

"Brother Stone, I heard you woke up? I was scared to death before, how do you feel now, does the wound still hurt?" A girl in a pink cotton shirt walked in while talking.

Yin Su looked her over carefully, and it took him a while to recognize who this person was.

It is said that the Yin family’s family background in this Changxi Village was pretty good before. Yin’s father worked as an accountant for a rice company in the town, and there were more than ten acres of land in the family. Yin’s mother gave birth to a son in the second year of marriage. Life is booming.

But within a few years, Yin's mother fell ill. She spent a lot of money and sold a few acres of land, but it was not cured, so she left her only son who was less than seven years old and Yin's father went west.

At that time, the only son had not yet had a name, only a pet name, Shitou. Yin's mother chose this baby name in the hope that her son would become calm and firm like a rock in the future, and be able to be independent.

Although the child was skinny, he did not live up to his mother's hope, and he was very sensible at ordinary times. His father was busy in the town and couldn't come back. He took care of himself alone at a young age, and he lived well.

Unfortunately, not long after, his father listened to someone's persuasion, thinking that it would be impossible without a woman to take care of the family, and finally spent a lot of money to marry the widow He Shi who had just lost her husband in the neighboring village.

The ratio of men and women in this world is very unbalanced. The scarcity of women has led to a large number of men not being able to marry wives. The price of marrying wives is very high, and the status of women has also increased.

Being able to marry a woman is already a good thing. Whether this woman is a good wife and mother is no longer within the scope of Shitou's father's key considerations.Therefore, He remarried to Yin's family with his son Bao'er, who was born with his ex-husband, and Yin Shitou soon ushered in the days of suffering and suffering.

At first, it was better when Father Yin was alive, but he did more work and was cut short of food.Later, when Shitou was 16 years old, his father encountered Zoushan on the way back to the village, and died suddenly in a mudslide. The Yin family had no money-making man, and the days became poorer and poorer, and Shitou's life became more and more bitter.

Stone's father made a marriage for him early before his death, and the object was this girl who came to visit Yin Su now, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family in the village, Zhang Susu.

Facing the fiancée who suddenly appeared, Yin Su just felt a little headache, but it was not easy to leave a little girl alone, so he could only reply: "It's much better, thank you."

The girl was a little surprised by his alienated attitude, which was different from the person who usually blushed and spoke softly when he saw him. The simple five words blocked her next words, and suddenly I froze there.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the room, Yin Su frowned, feeling that he could not get up while lying down, and it was not convenient for a man and a widow to live in the same room, so he slowed down his tone a bit, and said, "If Miss Susu has something to say, you can speak up. , if there is nothing else, please go back first."

Zhang Susu didn't expect this person to chase him away just after saying a word, his face turned cold, and his voice was a little sharp: "I know you heard the rumor that my family is going to divorce, it's really good, my parents have this idea, you The situation at home is very different now when we were engaged, and you yourself are living such a miserable life, how can you protect me in the future?"

Today's stone can't get good medical treatment even if he broke his leg. If Zhang Susu comes in in the future, he will be ordered by the He family to endure hardships.

The daughters of the Dayuan Dynasty are rare and precious. Who didn't love and take care of them when they grew up? The court will also give subsidies to families with daughters every year. No matter how poor they are, they will not treat their girls harshly.

Thinking of the life she might face after marrying, Zhang Susu felt that the future was bleak, but the marriage had already been decided, and it was inevitable that she would regret it at this time.She was worried that she couldn't think of a good reason to divorce, and Shitou went into the mountain and broke her leg. She was just sleepy and sent a pillow.

Based on Zhang Susu's understanding of Yin Shitou, this person is honest and honest, but also a little cowardly. He is not a person who will entangle him to death. As long as he stimulates him with his broken leg, it may make the other party feel that he is not worthy of him. break off an engagement.

Although Yin Shitou's performance is different from what she expected, but in order to get a smooth divorce, she changed her mind, slowed down her tone, and continued: "Brother Shitou, I know what you think about me. Mother did this, but a few days ago, I saw your family's attitude towards you after you were injured. I was really afraid. We grew up together, and you also hope that I will live a good life, don't you? Even if we divorced, I will still treat you like a brother."

As she said that, there were tears in the girl's eyes, and she stood weakly by the door, looking very pitiful.

Yin Su watched her performance silently, without any fluctuations in his heart. After she finished speaking, he said slowly: "Yes, since you don't want to, I won't force it. I will use my leg injury Yu Xing's reasons for retiring the engagement will save your face."

When the girl heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was about to speak, but was blocked by a loud voice suddenly coming from behind.

"No! This marriage can't be rescinded!" Mrs. He, who was preparing pickles in the main room, heard that a girl had come from his daughter-in-law, and followed him suspiciously. Who would have heard that brat Yin Shitou promised to rescind the engagement.

Mrs. He was not happy on the spot, and said with a sneer: "Well, you little girl, at first you took a fancy to my Yin family's family business and wanted to marry me. When Shitou's father left, your Zhang family began to shirk and refuse in every possible way. Married, do you really think this matchmaker's words are a joke? Now you can't help but go back on your word!"

Although the He family does not want to see Yin Shitou, this marriage was arranged by Yin's father before she entered the house. I heard that a lot of gift money was spent. , Maybe even more money will be spent.

"Auntie Yin, you can't slander people like this. Few people in the village don't know how your family treats brother Shitou. You can go and ask who is willing to marry their daughter to suffer." Zhang Susu saw When He came up, he tore his face, and couldn't help blurting out what was in his heart.

He was trembling with anger, waiting to start scolding, Yin Su, who had been silent all this time, interrupted the two of them with one sentence: "Miss Zhang, I agree to divorce, but you have to return the betrothal gifts my family gave back in full."

"You will keep this dowry after it is returned, and I won't bother you at all. I'm not fully recovered from my injury, please go ahead." Seeing that Mrs. He was about to jump, Yin Su turned his indifferent eyes to her, and said lightly The words made her hold back.

The two people standing by the door were shocked by Yin Su's tough tone. Seeing that Zhang Susu had achieved her goal, she didn't have time to think about Yin Shitou's strange attitude. .

Mrs. He stood outside the door for a while, not knowing whether to be happy or angry. Although a large sum of money will come in immediately, which can improve the current life, it is uncertain how much will be given out later.If Yin Shitou had not been told about his marriage, the rumors in the village would have been even worse.

After Yin Su finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at the two women. He didn't see Mrs. He staring at him fiercely. His eyes rolled around, and his eyes stayed on his face meaningfully. After a few glances, he left.

When it was dusk, Yin Baoer, who wandered around the town for a day under the pretext of looking for work, came back, and was yelling hungry as soon as he got home.He thought he had come back from a day's work, it was too hard, and his heart ached so much that he hurriedly asked his daughter and daughter-in-law to have dinner together.

Thinking that a dowry gift would be returned in two days, He shi specially added two eggs today, so it was a little meaty anyway.

Before Yin's father was alive, the family could often eat meat several times a month, and the family had a surplus of money. Once Yin's father left, the He family would not know how to live. , pointing to Yin Shishi planting a few acres of land to live.

It was rare to have an extra meal today, Yin Baoer didn't bother to ask why, so he hurried to eat first.After eating, unexpectedly He pulled him into the back room again, and took out a sling of money from the jar under the bed. Yin Baoer watched from the side, and then remembered to ask He: "Mother, is there something good today?"

"Bao'er, you take this money. Go to the town tomorrow to find Matchmaker Zhao, and ask her to come to the house and tell Shitou a good marriage." He handed over the money with a smile on his face.

Yin Bao'er knows how much money the family has. If he had money to spare, he would have cheated it from his mother and taken it to the town's gambling house to get addicted to gambling.Moreover, Mrs. He has always been extremely stingy, so it is abnormal to be so generous today.
