Pick up a husband to farm
Chapter 39
"It's also the first time I've seen in-laws killing each other like this." Tian Luo drove a donkey cart to pass by the crowd, but the village entrance seemed to be blocked by spectators, so Tian Luo had no choice but to jump off the donkey cart , wanting to evacuate the crowd.
But before Tian Luo could disperse the crowd, he heard a roar from the east lion in the crowd.
"Your old Tian family is really shameless. You even snatched my daughter's dowry to make new clothes for your Tian Yulan. How dare you do that?" Zhao Yuzhu's mother, Wang, said to Tian Yulan who was still holding the dowry box. Swear.
Mrs. Tian is not a soft persimmon either, she rolled her eyes at Wang, and then said confidently: "Zhao Yuzhu married my Sheng'er, she is from our old Tian family, since she is from our old Tian family, we take What's wrong with her dowry?"
Mrs. Wang laughed angrily at Mrs. Tian's hooligan logic. She pointed to Zhao Yuzhu's feet, which were still wearing no shoes and only full clothing, and raised her voice to the highest level, as if she was afraid that others would not hear her and said, "Yes. , if your family Tian Yulan really needs this dowry, you can tell us Yuzhu, but if you go directly into our Yuzhu house and pick the lock with a machete to grab the dowry, this is your fault. Yuzhu chased you all the way without wearing shoes, what's your conscience?"
Although Mrs. Wang is quite annoying on weekdays, once she is compared with the selfish Mrs. Tian, everyone starts to look at Mrs. Wang.
Now Mrs. Tian is even more speechless by Wang's choking. She has been thinking about Zhao Yuzhu's dowry from the very beginning, but helplessly, she reminds Zhao Yuzhu time and time again to take out the dowry to subsidize the family. Yuzhu just disagreed with life and death, and finally brought back a lockable wooden box from her natal home to hide her dowry. This made Mrs. Tian very angry. For example, just now she and Boss Tian went into Zhao Yuzhu's room and picked the lock.
At this time, Liu Xiaohong was pushed out by Boss Tian, and she coughed a few times in embarrassment to everyone, then turned to smile at Wang and apologized: "Dear family, we didn't think carefully this time, but Yulan's marriage is very urgent. Yes, and she married someone from the town, we don't need this dowry to prepare some nice clothes for her, people will look down on our family."
"You can't do this in a hurry. If it were you, your old lady came to your house indiscriminately and broke your lock. Let me see if you can still laugh?" She choked back all the people in Tian's family, and made the people watching the excitement almost laugh.
Mrs. Tian didn't like Wang's stinky mouth very much. She snorted and said, "It's as if we said that your daughter can take out the dowry. I beat her several times, but she just won't give it to you." I can't blame us for being tough."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang wanted to go up to scratch the old lady Tian, but was stopped by Zhao Yuzhu who had been silent since the beginning. Zhao Yuzhu's face was now blue and purple from the cold wind, and her clothes were not as bright as before, and the coarse cloth was short and brown. Completely looking like a peasant woman, with tears in her eyes, she said to Mrs. Tian very wronged: "Yuzhu knows that she shouldn't be compared with other brides, but when Yuzhu married Sheng Lang, Tian's family There are no sedan chairs, and there are no wine treats. The weather is cold these days, and no one pulls fabrics to make clothes for me. My dowry is left to me by my mother, and I still count on it to make a set. What about winter clothes?"
"Oh, look at you, you will use money to dress yourself up, why don't you think about your husband?" Mrs. Tian ignored other people's criticisms, and began to say to Zhao Yuzhu in public, "You don't feel bad when you spend money to dress yourself up. , your sister-in-law wants to go on a blind date, and if you use your money to make a dress, you will feel distressed as if you lost a piece of meat. This time, the person who met your sister-in-law is from the town, and she may be able to help your husband in the future. What do you do? Can't you think about it for your husband?"
"Thinking about it?" Zhao Yuzhu sneered and looked at Tian Sheng who was standing side by side with Boss Tian with his arms around his shoulders. The corner of her mouth curled into a cold arc. Tears rolled in her eyes several times before finally hitting the ground.
Zhao Yuzhu regretted it now, she asked herself why she was obsessed with marrying Tian Sheng in the first place?Was it to fight Tian Luo for a while, or did he simply believe in Tian Sheng's nonsense?Before getting married, Tian Sheng always said to himself, how about getting fame in the future?As she talked, she followed the letter and started daydreaming.
But as long as it is a dream, there will be a moment when you will wake up. Zhao Yuzhu did not expect this moment to come so soon. Since she married Tian Sheng, Tian Sheng hardly talked to her in a friendly voice. In the evening, Tian Sheng was close to her when he vented his anger on her, and under her recent observations, she found that Tian Sheng was not a material for getting fame at all. Was it the person she had taken a fancy to at the beginning?
Seeing that Zhao Yuzhu had stopped talking, Mrs. Tian thought that Zhao Yuzhu was afraid of her precious grandson, so her attitude became tougher, and she took up the authority of an elder and said: "Don't forget that you are the daughter-in-law who married into our old Tian's family. Husband is your god, you must think of your husband in everything, and you must not learn the virtue of a shrew like your mother!"
Zhao Yuzhu gradually regained her senses. She looked at the old lady Tian who was chattering at her, and the people watching her jokes. She smiled miserably, and then said with a sneer: "My husband? He eats, drinks and plays all day long. Do you want to respect him? Give him your dowry to take care of the bitch in Hualiu Pavilion?"
Zhao Yuzhu wanted to continue, but she was slapped fiercely by Tian Sheng who suddenly stepped forward. She covered her face and looked at Tian Sheng in astonishment. Her nose was bleeding because of the slap too hard. She ignored her mother Surprised and sighed by Mrs. Wang and everyone present, they stepped forward and gave Tian Sheng a backhanded slap, changed their previous weak image, and cursed fiercely in their mouths: "What's the matter, what I did is still worth it!" Don't let people talk about it? Don't do it if you have the guts! I am really blind, why did I live with you back then."
Tian Sheng covered his hot side face, and found that everyone was laughing at him, and became even angrier. He wanted to hit Zhao Yuzhu, but he was thrown out of the crowd by Zhao Yingjun who suddenly appeared.
At the same time, Zhao Yuzhu lay in her mother's arms and began to cry loudly, saying intermittently: "Mother, why is my life so hard, why?"
Mrs. Wang also patted Zhao Yuzhu's back again and again to give Zhao Yuzhu a good breath, but when she followed along, she found that her daughter was out of breath, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears with an "ah".
The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, Mrs. Tian's family was silent, Wang was holding her daughter and crying helplessly, and Zhao Yingjun beat Tian Boss and Tian Sheng to the ground alone. If Li Zheng hadn't appeared in time, Tian Sheng and Tian The boss is afraid that he will be disabled.
"What's the matter with your two families? Can't you go home and discuss things amicably? Do you want to make it comfortable for the whole village to know?" Li Zheng Li Shu asked three questions in a row when he arrived here. The tone was also quite helpless.
Mrs. Wang, who has always been clever, saw Lizheng coming, and hurriedly supported her daughter to find Lizheng for help, "Lizheng, help my poor daughter, she is almost out of breath now."
"Why are you looking for me if you don't breathe? Find a doctor!" Li Zheng glanced at Wang, and then happened to see Tian Luofu who was about to leave, and shouted directly to them: "Tian Luo, don't leave, I know You don't agree with them, but just take it as a way to save face, and help me show this Zhao Yuzhu what's wrong?"
Tian Luo, who was planning to run away with Tao Yuan, happened to be caught by Li Zheng, so he had no choice but to go forward to see a doctor for Zhao Yuzhu. He approached Zhao Yuzhu and carefully observed Zhao Yuzhu's face. Except for the frozen bruise, there was nothing else. There was nothing abnormal, so he had to make further examinations. He felt Zhao Yuzhu's pulse, then got up, and said to Wang who was full of doubts: "She is pregnant. This fainting is caused by not eating well. Wake up." Just give me some good supplements."
After Tian Luo finished speaking, he stopped talking to Mrs. Wang, and passed the entrance of Xiaohe Village smoothly with the help of Li Zheng. After getting away from the noisy crowd, Tian Luo breathed a sigh of relief on the donkey cart, and said to Tao Yuan: " Finally far away from that place, are you hungry?"
Tao Yuan shook his head, and then said: "It's still early, I'm not hungry at all, don't rush to cook when I get home later, I want to finish the rest of the hawthorn."
The freshness of the hawthorn rolls is very important. Once the hawthorn is stored for too long, the taste will not be fresh. Considering this, Tian Luo agreed to Tao Yuan.
The two began to prepare hawthorns when they got home. Because there were not many hawthorns left in the house, Tian Luo and Tao Yuan quickly finished the hawthorn snacks with their increasingly skillful techniques.
During this period, Tian Luo also took out four large sweet potatoes from his cellar and baked them in the stove. When they were about to be cooked, the sweet potatoes began to emit their unique burnt aroma, which attracted Tao Yuan who had just washed his hands. Come over, "Did you bake sweet potatoes?"
"Well, it will be ready in a while, do you want to wait here together?" Tian Luo sat on the small mat in the kitchen and flipped through the herbal medicine illustration book. Against the background of the fire, Tian Luo looked very quiet and leisurely.
Tao Yuan was a little dumbfounded again, and directly moved a small horse to sit beside Tian Luo, and Tian Luo and Tian Luo looked at the herbal medicine guidebook while waiting for the roasted sweet potatoes.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sweet potatoes were cooked. Tian Luo got up and put the illustration book elsewhere, and began to take the sweet potatoes out of the stove with a wooden stick.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. In order not to distract Tian Luo, Tao Yuan ran out without saying a word, and when he opened the door, he saw Luo Ying, who was carrying a basket, leading her home. Da Ya and the dog from a few days ago came over.
"Second Aunt, come in quickly. Tian Luo will be in the kitchen for a while and I'll call him for you." Tao Yuan invited him into the yard and closed the door again.
Tian Luo heard Luo Ying's voice when he was in the kitchen. After thinking for a while, he went to the cellar again, took a few more sweet potatoes and put them in the stove, and he himself took the freshly baked sweet potatoes into the main room. Ying and the two little bean dings, he smiled at Luo Ying and said, "Why is Second Aunt here today?"
"I took the two children up the mountain in the afternoon. I thought it was going to be frosty soon, so I thought about going up to the mountain to pick some fresh hawthorns. After a few days, the hawthorns will not be as good as they are now." Luo Ying said He pushed out the basket beside him.
Seeing this, Tao Yuan directly took the baskets to the kitchen, while Tian Luo divided the sweet potatoes into equal portions for Luo Ying and the children to taste. When he distributed the sweet potatoes to the dog, he carefully looked at the dog's face, and saw the dog The son has almost recovered, touched the dog's head, and said to Luo Ying: "This dog is recovering quite quickly, the next time Second Aunt sees Elder Sister Xiaohua, let her cook more for the child. Order millet porridge, after the scourge of that medicine, this child's spleen and stomach are still weak."
Luo Ying nodded quickly after hearing this, and said: "This black-hearted fourth Han, even if Wang Xiaohua did something bad, he can't make fun of the child. Fortunately, he didn't get any good."
"How do you say it?" Tian Luo left Tao Yuan with a huge piece of sweet potato, and he was not willing to eat it, so he drank tea alone to relieve his boredom.
Luo Ying saw Tian Luo's series of small actions in her eyes, and didn't try to expose them. She suppressed a smile and said, "Wang Xiaohua kicked him because of Han Laosi's malicious intentions. The yamen said that Han Laosi Si is what he deserved, as for the matter of Han Laosi drugging the dog, it is a murder of a child, and he was directly caught and eaten in prison."
Tian Luo listened to Luo Ying talking about Han Laosi's fate, but he unconsciously recalled that Japanese Han Laosi said that Tao Yuan was from the Wu tribe.
The author has something to say: I wish my friends a happy reading. 23333 Thanks to my friend Nuanfeng for knowing the landmine I threw for us~ There is also a nutrient solution, sneaking into the corner and forcing it!
But before Tian Luo could disperse the crowd, he heard a roar from the east lion in the crowd.
