Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 15

When the two walked home, Xue Song hadn't returned yet.

Ye Ya asked Xue Shu to unlock the lock. She was drying clothes in the yard. When she bent down and raised her head, Rhubarb slowly swayed in, circled her around, and finally lay down on the side with her head on the ground, staring at her with a pair of brown eyes. , motionless, only when she shakes her clothes, it blinks its eyes, and its ears stand straighter.

Ye Ya was still a little afraid of it, so she kept a close eye on its movements, walked back after drying, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it didn't follow.

"Daughter-in-law, shall I kill the fish for you?" Xue Shu stood under the eaves with two large, one small, and three fish, looking at her with a smile.

"Can you do it?" Ye Ya was a little skeptical, looking up at the sky, it was time to prepare lunch.

Xue Shu nodded again and again, he loves fish very much, but usually he is unlucky and it is difficult to catch fish. Today, for some reason, he caught three in one go!

"Then do it, I'll steam the rice."

When she finished washing the rice and covered the edge of the pot with a coarse cloth, Xue Shu had already packed the three fish.

Ye Ya looked at the fish, thought about it, and decided to cook it all in a while, and leave the smaller one for Xue Bai to eat.

"Go pick cucumbers and beans, and clean them by the way." She took the washed fish, put it on the cutting board, and while scratching the back of the fish a few times, said to Xue Shu, three dishes, each serving Two discs are also passable.

Xue Shu was very happy to be able to help his wife, and went happily.After picking a few handfuls of beans, he ran over to ask if it was enough. Ye Ya said it wasn't enough, so he went back to pick again. He went back and forth several times, and finally he was done.

When Xue Song came back, he saw Ye Ya bending over to work in the stove, Xue Shupa at the door watching her, and Rhubarb also coming, sticking out his tongue and guarding under the eaves, with his head facing the direction of the stove.

The tempting aroma came along with the crackling sound of frying with a spatula. He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and a certain part of his heart was gradually filled with warmth.Since his mother died, except for the few times he ate at his second uncle's house, he hadn't smelled this kind of dish for more than ten years.

"Siblings, have you been cooking so early? Second Uncle and the others probably won't be here until later." He walked to the door, patted Xue Shu on the shoulder, and looked at the stewed fish in the pot.

Ye Ya flipped through the three fish one by one, and put the lid on the pot: "Well, I know, it's just this fish that is more troublesome to cook. I'll prepare it first, and I'll do the rest when they come." She wiped the pot on her apron. hand, looked up at Xue Song: "Have you bought the land yet?"

Xue Song immediately noticed that her eye circles were a little red, obviously she had cried!

He resisted so much that he didn't look back at Xue Shu, and stepped in with a calm expression: "I bought it, it's by the river, tomorrow I'll go weeding with my second brother." Bullied her?

Hearing that he was going to go to the field tomorrow, Ye Ya was very worried: "Brother, your injury is not healed yet, so leave the work in the field to me and Ashu. Three acres of land, the two of us are enough." She six He started to work in the fields at the age of [-], and he pulled weeds and planted the fields quite quickly. If he hadn't been sold to the Sun Mansion, he would have spent his entire life dealing with crops.

"No, my injury is not a problem. You don't need to intervene in the work in the field. You can just help take care of the house." Xue Song replied immediately, they can't give her rich clothes and food, but they don't need her to do farm work. She hadn't done much farm work, her body was thin and white, and he didn't want her to be tanned like a woman in the village.

Without giving Ye Ya a chance to refute, he walked to the back door and called Xue Shu over: "Your brother and sister, please be busy, I have something to tell my second brother." After speaking, he stepped out.

His face was a bit cold, although it was almost the same as usual, but Ye Ya still noticed that he seemed not very happy, did she say something wrong?She lowered her head and watched Xue Shu slowly pass by her, and finally went to the backyard muttering softly, only Rhubarb remained under the eaves, accompanying her.At this moment, she suddenly felt that in fact, she didn't know the three brothers of the Xue family. In their eyes, she was just an outsider, right?

After a moment of silence, she regained her spirits. The most important thing today is to entertain the second uncle's family. Let's talk about the rest later. At worst, just listen to Xue Song and never make up her own mind.If he asked her to cook, she would cook, but if he didn't let her go to the fields, she wouldn't go...

Over there Xue Song called Xue Shu under the tree, scolded sullenly, "Are you bullying her again?"

"I didn't..." Xue Shu had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to look at him, turned his head to look at the little yellow chickens in the fence, counting silently one by one.As soon as he counted to five, he heard the eldest brother ask him as if holding back his anger: "You didn't bully her, why did she cry? Don't try to lie, I know she cried!"

Xue Shu curled his lips, the eldest brother is still so powerful, when he was a child he stole food from the second uncle's house, obviously wiped his mouth clean, but in the end the eldest brother spotted him and referred him to the second uncle's house, in front of the second aunt's He was beaten hard on the face, and he still remembers the pain in his buttocks that day.

Thinking of the consequences of lying, he felt his butt hurt again, so he went to see his elder brother secretly, and met a cold face.He was startled, and hurriedly defended in a low voice: "I didn't bully my wife first, it was the widow Liu. When I swam up to my daughter-in-law, I heard her talking non-stop, and stopped my daughter-in-law from letting her go. I'll throw her..."

Widow Willow?
Xue Song frowned, interrupting his nonsense: "Then did you hear what she said?"

Xue Shu scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and said everything he remembered, which was a bit incoherent, but Xue Song still understood that Widow Liu said that Ye Ya came out of the kiln!
That gossiping woman, if she was a man, he would smash her mouth right now!
He clenched his fists tightly, and it took a long time to calm down the anger in his heart. He looked at the stupid second brother who still didn't dare to look up, remembered what he said just now, and asked again: "Then why did you bully her? Did you believe what Widow Liu said and scolded her?" She?" It's not like this kind of thing never happened before. Widow Liu was slapped in the face by Nantou Li Jin's daughter-in-law. She couldn't vent her anger, so she deliberately instigated her second brother to say something ugly. Li Jin's wife was not offended.

"I didn't scold my daughter-in-law!" Xue Shu raised his head and shouted immediately after being wronged, very angry.

Xue Song was taken aback, "What are you yelling about! You didn't scold her, so what did you do?" He looked worriedly towards the back door, afraid of being heard by Ye Ya.

Xue Shu immediately sank down, rubbing his left foot on the ground, "The daughter-in-law is afraid of rhubarb, so she asked me to chase it away. I didn't chase it away, and rubbed my arm on her chest, and she cried..." In the end, the daughter-in-law was still beaten by him. Crying.

Rhubarb is scary, she's scared, arms to chest...

Xue Song quickly guessed the general situation, and kicked Xue Shu vigorously: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to touch her as long as she doesn't want to? Do you have to force her to leave to be happy?" She She had been greatly wronged by Widow Liu, but he still acted in such a frivolous way, could she not think too much about it?
Xue Shu didn't hide, but felt aggrieved: "Wife's place is soft, I like to touch it, if you don't believe me try it, you will definitely think about it after touching it!" He loves to eat fish, but he doesn't have to eat it every day , but the daughter-in-law is different, he only tasted it once, and he remembered the ultimate delicious taste, and the daughter-in-law is not as difficult to catch as a fish, she dangles in front of his eyes, does the eldest brother know how hard he endured?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt wronged, Xue Shu ran to Xue Song's shadow, and stomped on his head bitterly: "You will hit me! Hmph, when you marry a wife, I will stare at you every day. If you steal your wife , I'll hit you too!" After speaking, as if he was afraid that Xue Song would hit him again, he ran away in a hurry, naturally he didn't see him, his elder brother blushed.

Ye Ya was cutting beans, when she saw Xue Shu running in in a panic, she was about to ask him why he was running, when he yelled "Second Uncle" to the front yard.

Her heart rose to her throat, she quickly put down the work at hand, took off her apron, adjusted her clothes in a hurry, and followed her to meet her.

Xue Shanliang and Mrs. Lin walked in the front side by side. They were wearing coarse clothes and looked about 40 years old.The former was tall, dark-skinned, and his back was already a little bent. When he saw Ye Ya, he stopped and smiled at her kindly. Ye Ya hurriedly called Second Uncle, and then looked at Lin.

Lin's head was wrapped in a gray cloth scarf, and her hair was combed meticulously, making her look very neat.She is a little thin, with slightly high cheekbones, but apart from looking harsh, she is still good-looking, even though years of hard work have made her fair skin rough and yellow.

After entering the door, Mrs. Lin quickly glanced at the corner of the yard, and saw that everything was neatly tidied up, and the corners of her tensed mouth were a little loose, but when she saw the niece and daughter-in-law who were dressed in common clothes but could hardly conceal their beauty, her eyes were filled with tears. There was a flash of sternness, and Ye Ya's greeting was just a snort as a response.

Ye Ya was already mentally prepared for her attitude. After all, Xue Shu said a lot of bad things about her, so she just blushed in embarrassment, but did not show any fear of being wronged.

Xue Shanliang knew the virtues of his mother-in-law, coughed, turned sideways, and said to the siblings behind him: "This is your second sister-in-law, hurry up and call someone!"

"Second sister-in-law!" Almost at the same time, two voices, one soft and one clear, came to Ye Ya's ears at the same time.

She let out an "ah", and when she saw the appearance of the two children, she couldn't help but smile.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl on the left should be Chun Xing, with a fair oval face, a straight nose bridge, and peach blossom eyes, looking at her with curiosity and kindness.In her, Ye Ya saw all the advantages of the Xue family's appearance, she is really a pretty girl who makes people fall in love with her at a glance.

The Huzi that Xue Shu often bullies Chun Xing is actually just a six or seven-year-old boy with a round belly and a round face. So outstanding, but also honest and cute.

After he called his second sister-in-law, he turned his eyes and saw Rhubarb who had moved to the kitchen to lie down. Impatiently, he broke away from Chun Xing's hand and ran towards the kitchen, because Xue Shu and Ye Ya were standing side by side at the door, His movement was too sudden, Ye Ya couldn't dodge in time, and was bumped firmly. Fortunately, there was a door panel next to him, and he regained his footing after holding on.

All boys are like this, her younger brother is also reckless, Ye Ya didn't care, she covered it with a smile, and wanted to invite the three of them into the house.

Huzi's struggle suddenly came from behind him: "Brother, let me go, I want to play with Dahuang!"

Xue Song directly brought the man in front of Ye Ya, pressing on his shoulder: "Apologize to your second sister-in-law first!"
