Qiao Mingjin rested for a few more days, and her health completely recovered.
In the past few days, she has also been working with Sun, Yu and others, cooking, sweeping and plastering, feeding chickens and pigs, cutting pig food and so on. She helped with everything, and she did a lot more than those two people.
When it was her turn to wash the clothes, she really didn't wash Yue Lao Er's and Yue Lao Si's clothes.
Originally, Mr. Yu thought she was joking, but she didn't expect that she was serious.
Ms. Sun, on the other hand, was angry and resentful and kept talking about it for several days.
Because even if it was Qiao Mingjin's turn to wash clothes, she couldn't hide from her man's clothes. Although there were only two or three pieces, she had to wash them every day. The clothes were very dirty because Yue Laoer was digging in the fields.
When it was her turn to wash the family's clothes, she was careless and took them back without even rubbing them. Yue Laoer was dissatisfied that the clothes were not clean, so she blamed it on her two sisters-in-law.
Now, there was nothing to say.
She was so tired that her hands ached from rubbing them every day, and her teeth were itchy. Whenever she met a woman from the village washing clothes with her at the well every day, she would talk about it endlessly.
However, most of the women in the village still sympathized with Qiao Mingjin. They felt sorry for her, who had been guarding her daughter alone for four years, and finally waited for her husband to return, and her husband had to bring in new people. They are both women, so some things can hurt others.
There wasn't anything weird going on.
However, Mrs. Wu saw that Qiao Mingjin was still helping her, Lao Yuetou and Yue Xiaoman wash clothes, and she didn't say anything unpleasant. It was just Ms. Sun who expressed her dissatisfaction every day while working.
Qiao Mingjin only worked quietly and had no time to pay attention to her.
These days, there are several young wives nearby in the village who occasionally come to talk to Qiao Mingjin. When Qiao Mingjin goes to the well to wash clothes, those people will also chat with her while washing. Sometimes if she washes large items,
For clothes, these people will come over to help wring out the water.
Qiao Mingjin has met some people these days.
When others responded enthusiastically to her, she naturally responded with a smile.
There is a daughter-in-law next door to Qiao Mingjin's family named Yue Yunshi Jinxiu. She was married a few years earlier than Qiao Mingjin. Like Qiao Mingjin, she was married from Yunjia Village. After Qiao Mingjin married, Yun Jinxiu always treated her like her own sister.
In these years when Yue Laosan was away, Yun Jinxiu and his wife also gave her a lot of help. The two often made appointments to go back to their parents' home, and their relationship was very good.
These days, sometimes when she gets up early to do laundry or cut pig grass, Yun Jinxiu will shout twice outside the gate of Yue's house and ask Qiao Mingjin to go with her.
When she went to do laundry, Qiao Mingjin took her daughter with her to cut pig grass. Qiao Mingjin asked Yun Jinxiu's two children to help play with her daughter and left Wan'er at her home.
The family where Yun Jinxiu married was a widowed mother with a son and a daughter. Her father-in-law died long ago. Not two years after Yun Jinxiu married, when her eldest grandson was born, her mother-in-law also left.
As a filial piety, she also helped marry off her sister-in-law. Now she is the only one in the family. Her husband-in-law has an eight-year-old son and a six-year-old daughter.
The family is simple, the husband and wife are happy, and the children are well-behaved and sensible. Qiao Mingjin is very envious of it.
This morning, Qiao Mingjin had just helped feed the pigs and chickens at home. Sister Xiu's loud voice rang outside the yard: "Mother Jin, are you going to cut the pig grass?"
"Hey, let's go. Sister Xiu, wait a moment." Qiao Mingjin responded, and went to the woodshed to find a pair of basket frames and a scimitar. She also found a pole from behind the door and put the two baskets
One frame on the left and one on the right were tied to the pole and picked out.
"Mom." Wan'er hurriedly ran over with her short legs and grabbed Qiao Mingjin's thigh.
Qiao Mingjin told Mrs. Yu in the courtyard and led her out.
Yue Xiaoman walked out of the room and said, "Wan'er, you are at home with your aunt."
Xiao Wan'er held Qiao Mingjin's hand and shook her head at her aunt.
There are three children at home, and Yue Xiaoman can't take care of them alone. Those children are all naughty, and there is a Wu family who is extremely partial. Xiao Wan'er still leaves the two children next door and Sister Xiu alone.
Have fun together.
"It's okay, Xiao Man. Just let Wan'er go play with Chang He and Liu Zhi. If you have time, just go over and check them out occasionally."
Qiao Mingjin said something to Yue Xiaoman. After Yue Xiaoman agreed, she took her daughter's hand and went out.
Mrs. Sun pouted behind Qiao Mingjin: "It looks like someone is bullying her at home, just like eyeballs."
Sister Xiu was waiting at the door of her house with her two children. When she saw Qiao Mingjin leading her daughter over, she said to Liu Zhi: "You should take good care of your sister? Don't let her fall."
"I understand, mother." Before Liu Zhi finished speaking, her brother Chang He jumped over and took Wan'er's hand, saying: "Sister Wan'er, let's go to brother Chang He's house to play."
Wan'er still held Qiao Mingjin's hand and raised her little head to look at Qiao Mingjin: "Mother."
Qiao Mingjin touched her head, lowered her body and said, "Good boy, be obedient. The place where I went is too far, Wan'er can't walk. Look, I still have to carry things, right? But I can't hold Wan'er."
Wan'er is playing obediently with her brother and sister at Aunt Xiu's house, and my mother will be back soon."
Wan'er then let go of Qiao Mingjin's hand, and Ren Changhe and Liuzhi led her into the house. Before entering the courtyard, she looked back at Qiao Mingjin and said, "Mom, come back quickly."
"good."
Qiao Mingjin and Yun Jinxiu each carried a load of empty baskets and walked up the path on the mountain behind the village.
The two of them talked while walking: "Brother Da Lei, haven't you come back yet?"
"No. It may take another half a month. Last time, someone brought a letter back, saying that this time the boss did a lot of work and paid a lot of wages, so he would work for a while longer. Anyway, the family only had a few dollars.
I can handle the acres of land by myself."
Sister Xiu’s husband, Yue Dalei, is a capable man. He is busy with farm work at home, and also does some carpentry work. Sometimes he goes to town or does odd jobs in the city during the slack period to earn some money to supplement the family income. The couple
The feelings are also very good.
"Where is Yue Laosan? You didn't say when you would be back?"
Qiao Mingjin shook her head. When Yue Zhongyao left last time, she was lying down and didn't hear clearly what he said when he left.
"It's a ten-day and one-day vacation, and I don't know when I'll be back."
Yun Jinxiu glanced at Qiao Mingjin's face and said, "What are your plans? This time Yue Laosan comes back, I'm afraid he will propose to take in the man named Liu. It would be great if Wan'er was a son, but she is a girl.
.Your mother-in-law is a snobbery. If Liu gets married and gets a boy at once, she will lose the status of you and Wan'er. At least you should get pregnant with another one before they get married."
Qiao Mingjin just walked with her head lowered and didn't speak.
She has some aloofness in her bones, especially when it comes to men. She is determined not to share a husband with another man.
These days, she has also thought about trying to fight for it. She can see that Yue Zhongyao has Qiao Mingjin in his heart. She wants to talk to him to see if she can put off this inexplicable marriage.
This era was different from the environment she lived in in her previous life. For a woman to leave her husband's family, it would be extremely difficult outside, and her parents' family would probably not be able to raise their head. She still had several younger siblings who were still unmarried.
But these days, when I see Mrs. Wu talking happily about hiring someone to paint her house, buying betrothal gifts, and how many tables she wants to invite, I know that she can't pass this test.
If the family is separated, maybe the Wu family won't be able to interfere too much, but now Wu family and Lao Yuetou are in their prime, and Yue Laosan just got such a job that makes them stand up, and no one will be separated.
They will separate Yue Laosan and go out.
It's impossible to expect Mr. Yue San's family to go out and not be manipulated by the Wu family. Moreover, Liu Meiniang's father also saved Mr. Yue San's life. If he pushed forward this marriage, I'm afraid he would be called ungrateful. I'm afraid.
He wouldn't do it himself.
Qiao Mingjin has been running through countless thoughts in her mind these days. She has just arrived in this place and it is difficult to make some decisions when everything is still unclear. She needs to think more carefully.
And she is not alone, she also has a daughter. It is not allowed to leave her daughter alone in the in-laws' family. But the in-laws' family will not let her take their daughter away.
Qiao Mingjin walked for a while in silence before saying, "I want to go back to my parents' house in a few days."
Yun Jinxiu said: "Okay. That's good. If you have anything to do, go back to your parents' house and discuss it with your family first. You have been lying in bed for these days and your family still doesn't know about it. If they hear it from others, they may be worried. You
Although there is no one in your natal family, your maternal grandfather's family is prosperous, so you are not afraid of them. If they want to bring in new people, well, you have to see what the Qiao family and the Yun family want to do, and they will definitely not let you be wronged."
Qiao Mingjin just walked with her head buried in silence.
Now that her mother's family is here, this matter is probably difficult to change. She just wants to ask if there is another way to go...
