Chapter 250 The vicious female supporting character escapes to farm (1)
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Someone beside her kept tugging at her sleeves.
Xu Yin opened her eyes in confusion.
"Sister-in-law, are you awake? I'll call my second brother!"
The thin little lolita in ancient costume with dry yellow hair said timidly and ran out.
Xu Yin rubbed her forehead and began to take in the plot of this world. After reviewing it, her face turned green.
This time she was dressed as a vicious female counterpart.
Before getting married, I was lazy at home, unable to do anything, and had nothing left to eat. At the age of fourteen or fifteen,
In ancient times, she was already a big girl, and she still competed with her nephews and nieces for food.
When her original parents were still alive, they scolded her, but they never kicked her out.
But at the beginning of last year, when the family was not doing well, the original father followed the young men in the village to go hunting in the mountains. He was chased by a hungry tiger and fell off Duotou Cliff, leaving no trace of his body.
The original mother was distraught,
Then he fell ill,
I stayed in bed for ten months and left before the Chinese New Year.
The only person who was willing to accommodate her was gone, and her sister-in-law, who had always disliked her, began to show off her power and insisted on driving out the lazy sister-in-law.
But for no reason, my parents-in-law kicked out my sister-in-law not long after they left. It didn’t sound good, so I changed the explanation: get married.
Her brother has a sharp ear, and he will do whatever his wife says.
But everyone within a ten-mile radius knew about my original character, and no one came to talk to me as a matchmaker. I took the initiative to find two families, but even if they didn't ask for a betrothal gift, they all declined.
I have no choice but to look at getting older and older, and worry about staying any longer.
She might have to support her for the rest of her life, so her sister-in-law asked her family to look for her in another village.
The amount of the bride price can be discussed.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want it, I just hope someone wants it as soon as possible.
Just right,
Thirty miles away in Lijia Village, there was a family whose parents had both died. When the elder man turned sixteen, he was sent to serve in the military, and he went to a far-off border, leaving two little carrot heads at home with no one to take care of them.
The uncle in the next room was worried that the burden of these two little carrots would burden his family, so he wanted to find a wife for the elder man. It didn't matter if he didn't have a dowry, just marry her quickly and take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
The two families hit it off immediately.
As a result, the original person was forced to marry into the impoverished Li family.
I haven't even seen my husband, but I have to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister-in-law first.
This makes the original person who is accustomed to eating well and being lazy to cook unbearable.
The Li family was poorer than her mother's family. They could only eat a dry meal for the first few days, but then she ran out of fine rice and had to reduce it to two meals a day, and it was still thin whole grain porridge, which she could only eat with water.
Within a few days, she couldn't stand it anymore.
On this day, I vaguely heard Erlang muttering to himself in the back room, as if his parents had left a ginseng plant for the three siblings, and Erlang wanted to exchange it for food.
But I can’t bear to part with it,
That was what their parents left for them to save their lives.
If you sell it, it's gone. I'm so confused.
After hearing this, the original person came up with the idea of ginseng.
She pretended to be unwell, coaxed Erlang to take out the ginseng, and ran away with a salesman with the money she got from the ginseng on the pretext of seeing a doctor.
It was okay to just run away, but the salesman she was following was actually a private trafficker, and selling goods was just a cover.
I heard from Yuan Shen that there were no adults in the Li family, just two little carrots, and she immediately had evil thoughts.
The two of them cooperated internally and externally, and deceived the Li family's carrots outside, gagged them, stuffed them into carriages, transported them to other places, and sold them to families who were in need of sons or child brides.
Seeing how easy it was to get money, I felt a little guilty, and the guilt quickly disappeared.
In addition, Fucheng, where Lijiacun is located, suffered from droughts, locust plagues, and no harvests. The local people fled to other places. Those with relatives sought refuge with relatives, and those without relatives begged along the way. In this way, she indirectly saved two carrot heads.
, let them find a good family to accept them, and they will feel less guilty.
The following year, the border war was victorious, and Li Dalang, who had made great achievements in the war, was favored to return to his hometown to visit relatives. However, the villagers who returned home one after another told him that his younger brothers and sisters had disappeared before the famine, or that they might be related to his wife, whom he had never met.
After he was angry, he used his contacts in the past two years to start investigating.
The younger brother and sister were never found, but the original person who was still following the salesman to harm the director was found.
In the end, the vicious female supporting character died under the sword of the male lead.
Xu Yin shivered.
Fortunately, the tragedy has not yet happened. At the moment, she is just lying in bed, pretending to be sick, and coaxing Erlang to take out the ginseng.
There is still a chance for everything to turn around.
"Crunch——"
The old door panel was pushed open, and four-year-old Li Sanmei pulled seven-year-old Li Erlang across the threshold and walked in.
"Sister-in-law."
Li Erlang, who was dark and thin, pursed his lips, took out the small ginseng that his father had dug in the mountains many years ago from his arms, and handed it to Xu Yin reluctantly, "Here, this can cure diseases."
Although the brother and sister don't like this elder sister-in-law, after all, it is their uncle who has chosen a wife for their eldest brother, and her elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Even if they don't like her, they can only endure it.
Now I see her lying on the bed sickly, complaining of coldness and heat. I once heard a doctor say that if she is hot and cold, she may be suffering from typhoid fever. If it is not treated in time, she will die if it becomes serious.
Li Erlang couldn't help but think of his mother who also died of typhoid fever three years ago. His eyes darkened, and he thought about it all night and decided to take out the ginseng.
"for you!"
Seeing that Xu Yin didn't move, he handed it forward again.
"Thank you Erlang."
Xu Yin thought for a while, took the ginseng, stuffed it under the pillow, sat up and asked them:
"Have you eaten? I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat?"
"..." Li Erlang was silent.
Li Sanmei said timidly: "There is nothing left at home."
Xu Yin: "..."
Recalling the plot in the book: I married into the Li family and coaxed my brother and sister to finish the food they had saved, but they still didn’t feel like they were full.
After thinking about it, she decided to go to the mountain.
"You two stay at home, I'll go to the mountains to take a look."
"You can't go! There are big insects on the mountain that can eat people." Li Erlang stopped her.
Xu Yin's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, the original father was chased down the mountain by a hungry tiger.
But if you don’t go to the mountain, how can you get food out?
"Then let me go and have a look in the fields?"
"Our family has no land." Li Erlang curled his lips, "My aunt said that our family did not have strong labor force, so we kept the land to waste, so we took our land to plant. It was agreed that one acre of land would be given half a stone of grain every year, but the annual income
No, I never gave it."
"No matter how bad the year is, there will always be some harvest." Xu Yin stroked her sleeves, "Let's go! Let's ask them for food!"
"..."
Xu Yin picked up Li Sanmei.
A four-year-old child can't be left alone at home.
When Li Sanmei was picked up by her, her little body was stiff, and she glanced at Xu Yin timidly.
Xu Yin smiled tenderly at her: "My uncle's house is far away, so my sister-in-law will carry you there."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
On the way to Uncle Li's house, Xu Yin asked Erlang: "How much land does our family have in total?"
Know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle. When you come to ask for land rent, you must first know how much land there is.
"Three acres and seven cents. When my parents were here, there were eight acres and seven cents. Later... my eldest brother sold five acres to my parents for medical treatment... When he went to serve, half of the remaining money was exchanged for food, and the other half was given to
Uncle, please ask them to take care of me and my third sister."
Speaking of this, Li Erlang glanced at Xu Yin quietly and whispered: "But my uncle said that they didn't spend the money and used it to give the eldest brother a bride price."
Xu Yin paused, then laughed angrily: What a fart gift!
