The village was full of people with the same surname, but no one would come to bully her.
Except for the occasional exchange of words between my second uncle and my third uncle's aunts and cousins, everything was fine.
Although Bai Yongming doesn't value his wife, he is still a little distracted by his only sister.
At the very least, he would help her pay the poll tax so that she would not be dragged away and sold into slavery.
However, with her family background, no one really came to ask for marriage.
This is because a betrothal gift is required for marriage, but for official marriages, no betrothal gift is required, and dowry is optional. It does not matter whether you have it or not.
So, for a family like hers, with basically no one in her natal family, a useless brother, and no money, who would spend money to marry her?
So the next year, she was taken away to get married.
She had a delicate appearance and was quick at work. She was chosen the first time, but the family she chose was from a poor family.
It is recorded that a large family lived in a thatched house, and she married the fourth son of that family.
Foolish and filial man.
He would do whatever his parents asked him to do, and teach his wife a lesson if asked. He never had enough to eat and never left half a penny on him.
It is conceivable that her future life will definitely follow the same path as her sisters-in-law.
Her only support, her brother, has never been to her husband's house to visit her.
Bai Yongming felt that nothing in the world could disturb his studies, so he stayed in the academy to study every day.
After spending all the money, he sold the old house.
Because he has already chosen a wife before, it is not mandatory for him to choose a wife in the second and third years.
In the third year, if he still does not have a wife, he will be asked to choose again.
So he read with peace of mind, and during the three-year imperial examination period, he once again entered the exam with confidence.
The result can be imagined.
He failed again.
All the money he had was spent, and he had no choice but to return to Baijia Village.
He returned home in a daze, but suddenly remembered that he seemed to have no home...
Then he walked to his second uncle and his third uncle in despair.
However, what he got was naturally ridicule, ridicule and contempt. Those contemptuous eyes hurt him deeply.
How could someone as proud as him endure such humiliation and turned around and left.
The villagers he met along the way were all asking him about the results of his scientific examination.
Although they haven't said anything yet, Bai Yongming felt that everyone was watching his joke.
I left Baijiacun angrily, not knowing where to go for a moment.
Thinking that he might be able to borrow some of his friends for a few days, he walked towards the town.
But he didn't expect that the world would be so hot and cold. In the past, everyone who called Brother Bai and asked him to invite guests to the restaurant would turn him away.
Frustrated, he ended his miserable life with a belt in the woods outside the town.
As for Zhang Dujuan, she was crazy and had been beaten to death long ago for robbing the buns from the bun shop.
……..…
After watching the plot, Yunfei wiped his face.
how to say?
All I can say is that the room was full of tableware (a tragedy).
The timing of this visit was quite good. Three months after the wedding, the tragedy had not happened yet, and all three wives were pregnant.
In other words, he doesn't have to worry about how to give birth to a baby he hasn't conceived yet.
The only place that is somewhat dangerous is Zhang Dujuan and Du Qingliu.
One has been tired for a month, and the other has a tendency to be lingering and sick.
The original person has not returned to school yet, and will return in ten days.
Knock knock~~
"Please come in." Yunfei, who had come back to his senses, responded quickly.
Outside the door was a somewhat shivering Zhang Dujuan, "Master, you can eat now."
"good."
On the dining table in the main room, there is a pot of wild vegetables, a pot of white porridge and an egg.
This is his lunch today. Farmers usually only eat breakfast and evening meals, or lunch and evening meals.
Their family is in the morning and evening.
No one else is here, and they will take the rest to the small table in the kitchen after he finishes eating.
Yes, his status is so low, including his own sister.
Wild vegetables are the only dish for this meal, and they are hard to find outside now.
The weather in October is gradually starting to get colder.
And boiled eggs are a treat exclusive to him as the head of the family.
The thick rice porridge is of course exclusive to him. Others call it porridge rather than rice soup.
Bai Yongming would scold him because he cooked it too much.
So Du Qingliu, who was in charge of cooking, didn't dare to put more rice.
Compared with other families, this millet is also a rare and good thing, although they can only drink rice soup.
Yunfei sighed and said nothing. He drank the egg in the porridge quietly. After thinking about it, he ate it but left the wild vegetables untouched.
After eating, Du Qingliu came in to collect the bowls. He said calmly: "There are still eggs at home. Go and cook four of them, one for each of you. After all, I am pregnant and need to replenish my body."
Du Qingliu, whose face was pale, was stunned for a moment, then he saluted respectfully and thanked him, "Thank you, sir."
It's not that she likes to be polite, but her father is very strict with their etiquette, so she developed this habit.
You have to bow before doing anything, just like someone from a wealthy family, but actually the etiquette is not very correct.
After all, he was just a scholar, and his exposure to the world was limited, and his family could not afford to hire a disciplinarian.
These are all rules I heard from hearsay, and then I can go home and teach my wives and children, and then I can enjoy the treatment of a great master at home.
"You don't have to bow down all the time from now on. It's hard to bend down when you're pregnant."
"I understand." Du Qingliu subconsciously wanted to salute again.
Thinking of something, the hands with many wounds gently touched his lower abdomen.
After Yun Fei left, he relaxed and quietly packed up the dishes and went out.
The four women ate their assigned meals in silence, and no one spoke.
Although they are both lonely women, they have no intention of forming an alliance in this family. Instead, they have a kind of attitude of not disturbing the river.
Bai Guihua's relationship with her sisters-in-law is not very close. She hides in her home every day and works as a female celebrity to support her family.
After finishing eating the wild vegetables and drinking the rice soup, Du Qingliu began to boil the eggs.
Her expression was neither sad nor happy and she said: "My dear husband, I have pity on you. Let me boil a few eggs to share with everyone. You can go to work later."
Hearing this, the other three women all showed incredible expressions.
After all, in the three months they had been together, they had already gained a basic understanding of this husband.
That is, they are deaf to what is going on outside the window and only focus on reading the books of sages. Except for going to bed every night, my husband is too lazy to even talk to them at other times.
It's a bit strange to suddenly start caring about them.
But thinking that Bai Yongming likes Du Qingliu very much, and now that she is pregnant, he may be trying to find a reason to feed her.
It's not easy to just give it to her alone, so it makes sense.
Although Zhao Baozhu's family is a butcher of pigs, he has never eaten meat, so he is also very greedy for eggs.
