Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 24

It was getting late, Ye Ya rolled up the quilt indiscriminately, put on her shoes and went to the ground in a hurry, anyway, she had accumulated a pile of dirty clothes in the past few days, she turned around and took off the bed sheets and took them to the river to wash together.

Opening the curtain, the kitchen room was empty, and both pots and tables were clean. It was obvious that Xue Bai didn't leave last night's dishes for her to wash.Ye Ya shook her head helplessly, the third brother was so polite, but it was undeniable that he was quite happy in his heart.She glanced at the front yard. Xue Song and Xue Bai were standing side by side in front of the wooden frame washing their faces. One was tall and strong, the other thin and well-proportioned, exuding different vigor.

There were footsteps coming from the backyard, she stared and saw Xue Shu holding firewood in his hand, looking at her with a flattering face, "Daughter-in-law, you should rest, I will cook today!"

How can you look like a fool if you know how to please after doing bad things?

Ye Ya angrily snatched the firewood in his hand, the eldest brother and the third younger brother were all watching, she was a fool to order him openly!
Xue Shu giggled, the daughter-in-law was not really angry when she stared at him, if she was really angry, she would ignore him.

Xue Song came in from the front yard, saw his smirk, he was obviously as proud as usual after taking advantage of him, and then looked at the flushed flush on his face that did not subside, Ye Ya lowered her head and tried to pretend to be calm. After kissing, he also more or less guessed what the young couple must have done in the morning.He felt relieved, it seemed that the younger brother and sister had completely accepted the second brother, but there was a faint indescribable feeling in his heart, which made him dare not continue to delve into what the two of them had done.

"Second brother, I'm going into the mountains today, do you want to go?" The land was planted, and there was no work to do in a short time, so it was time for him to hunt and earn money.

Xue Shu shook his head, he wanted to stay at home with his wife.

But Ye Ya didn't want him to stay at home, she stared at him secretly while lighting the fire, her tone was as gentle as usual: "Go with elder brother, there are so many people, it's easy to get things." She had planned everything, cleaning the yard in the morning and doing laundry in the afternoon Sew pillows, and make a set of autumn shirts for each of the four.Oh, by the way, the third brother's shoes are torn, and she needs to mend them.If Xue Shu was at home, he would definitely torture her.

Xue Shu curled his lips, still wanting to play tricks, but Xue Song had already made a decision: "The second younger brother will go with me."

Xue Shu ran away angrily, and went to the backyard to see the chicks.

Xue Bai came in and saw that the elder brother and the second elder brother were not in the kitchen, so his heart moved, he took out the things in his sleeve pocket and handed them to Ye Ya: "Second sister-in-law, I earned this yesterday, you can put it away."

A slender white hand suddenly stretched out from the slant, holding a bunch of copper coins in the palm, Ye Ya was taken aback, stood up quickly, and refused to answer anything: "Our family still has money, you are outside alone , keep it for yourself, just in case you need to use it..."

Xue Bai chuckled, and turned his hand to take out two pieces of silver: "I study at Mr. Zhao's place, and I also eat there at noon. There is no need to spend money at all. The two pieces of silver you gave me last time haven't moved yet." .Silver is easy to carry around, but copper coins are a bit much, so let’s keep them at home.”

"Oh, that's fine, I'll put it away first, if you want to use it someday, remember to ask for it from me!"

The fire in the stove was about to burn outside, Ye Ya hurriedly took the money and squatted down again.

Her warm fingers touched his hands that were cool after washing his face, and when she left, her clean nails lightly brushed against his palm, bringing a slight itch...

Xue Bo's hand that was about to withdraw paused for a moment, surprised at the slight ripples left in his heart by the brief touch.This was the first time he had physical contact with a woman of similar age, and it felt a little strange.

After recovering, he quietly withdrew his hand and left her side.

After seeing off the three brothers, Ye Ya started to tidy up the yard, mainly because the vegetable garden needed weeding and watering.

"Second sister-in-law, are you going to wash clothes by the river?"

A soft voice came from outside the gate of the fence. Ye Ya Mao Yao walked out of the cucumber shelf. When she looked up, she saw Chun Xing standing there holding a large pot of clothes, followed by a six-year-old Hu Zi.

She rushed out to greet her, "I want to go, but there is still a vegetable garden that has not been taken care of, are you in a hurry? Would you like to wait for me for a while?" Washing clothes takes a lot of work. If I can have Chun Xing to accompany me, we can talk Talking, that's fine too.

"No hurry, let me help you." Chun Xing walked to the yard with a smile, put down the wooden basin, and walked straight to the vegetable garden where Ye Ya was standing just now.Ye Ya stopped her, and she pouted and looked at her aggrievedly: "Second sister-in-law, you are being polite to me even in such a small matter, isn't it too far-fetched? I want to learn how to cook from you. If you are like this, I will I dare not come to you again!"

Ye Ya had no choice but to let her help.

Huzi ran to the backyard, and came back after a while, standing outside the vegetable garden and looking at Ye Ya: "Second sister-in-law, where is the rhubarb?"

"Da Huang and your eldest brother went up the mountain, and they won't be back until a while later." Ye Ya replied to him while pulling weeds.

Huzi groaned dissatisfiedly, "Then I'm at home, washing clothes is a woman's business, so I won't play with you!" He was about to go out.

Chun Xing poked her head out from behind the cucumber stand and shouted loudly at his back: "Mother told you to follow me. If you sneak away to other places, be careful and I will tell Mother!" Parents went to pull weeds in the peanut field, and he Where is going home, obviously wanting to play with those children, hmph, I know how to fight with others all day long, but I still can't beat those people, and I am covered in ashes every time I toss.

Huzi paused, turned around and made a face at her, but he didn't dare to leave after all, and went to play in the kitchen.

Looking at the two siblings, Ye Ya suddenly thought of her two younger brothers, feeling a little sad, but they soon broke up.Parents are in good health, and the money from selling her body is considered as a repayment for their upbringing. During the years in the Sun Mansion, they never visited her. Perhaps in their eyes, she has long since disappeared as a daughter, right?That being the case, now that she has her own home, why bother to be sentimental?Everyone has their own destiny, what she can do is to walk her own path.

After pouring water, the two washed their hands.Ye Ya piled up the clothes that she hadn't had time to wash in the past few days, and when Chun Xing went to the backyard to see the chicks, she quickly removed the sheets that were soiled by Xue Shu, then called them over, locked the door, and set off for Beihe.

During the busy farming season, the villagers are busy together. When the work is over, the older girls and the younger daughter-in-laws also run to the river to wash clothes. When they meet acquaintances, they gather together, rubbing and chatting while washing, chatting very lively.

When Ye Ya and Chun Xing appeared, the buzzing sounds of different heights by the river fell silent for a while, and everyone looked at Ye Ya one after another, with curiosity, inquiry, and contempt in their eyes.

The two picked a place far away from the crowd and squatted down. Chun Xing told Hu Zi not to run far, but when she turned around and saw her face was not very good-looking, she persuaded her in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, they like to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart, We know you're a good man. Let's go about our lives and don't care what they do!"

Ye Ya smiled at her, lowered her head to wash her clothes.

Everyone understands the truth, but when it's their turn, not everyone can be as open-minded as when they persuaded others.She just didn't understand, she was well-behaved, who provoked whom, why did she say such nasty things about her?Sister Yao, sister Yao, the most insulting words she could think of were just these two words.

Tears slowly filled up, fell on the wet clothes, and disappeared.

Afraid that Chun Xing would find out, she forced herself to think of something happy, and then she stopped crying, and when she calmed down, she began to chat with her about homework.

"Hey, isn't this Ye Meizi? Why didn't the stupid second come with you today?"

Just when the two of them had finished washing most of their clothes, a piercing smile sounded from behind, Ye Ya frowned and turned her head, and she saw the widow Liu.She was wearing a pink dress today, with a very low neckline, revealing a large area of ​​snowy skin, and even those two round balls were unwilling to squeeze out, which was particularly eye-catching.

Ye Ya didn't want to talk to her, but Liu Yuniang wanted to provoke her, so she came towards them!

"Who is your sister, don't shout at people!" Ye Ya stood up angrily, blocked Chun Xing behind her, and loudly reprimanded her unceremoniously.In this situation, if she is allowed to approach her, the villagers must think more about it.People are divided into groups, Widow Liu has a very bad reputation, and those who walk around with her are definitely not good people.

"Yo, Sister Ye is so angry today. You called me sister sweetly that day, why did you turn your face and deny her today?" Liu Yuniang stood opposite them with a smile, only seven or eight steps between them. Ye Ya's voice was loud, and hers was even louder, causing the wives around to stop what they were doing and all turned their heads to look this way.

Liu Yuniang was very satisfied with this effect, and she was even happier when she said it: "Sister Ye, you told me that day that you were new here, and you were afraid of being laughed at, and asked me, a sister, to give you good advice. You heard my sister's bad words, and you are afraid of being hurt by me, so you want to break up with me? Oh, sister, I understand your difficulties, but you are just in our line of work. If you stay there for a day, you will never think about it again in this life. If you get a good face, even if you try to be a well-behaved daughter-in-law, you can't change your past experience!"

She was threatened by Xue Shu that day, and she hated it in her heart. When she returned home, she deliberately smeared Ye Ya and told the men who came to her a few nights. Of course, those men would not directly tell the mother-in-law at home, but they are not good birds. How can those village women not think too much about asking around, or taking the topic in a wrong direction?She has not been idle for the past few days, she listens to the villagers' rumors about Ye Ya, but she doesn't want Ye Ya to work for several days in a row, dress up and look like a girl from a good family, which makes many people question her , refused to believe her.

Hmph, believe it or not, she has another way, you know, the more rumors are spread, the more slowly they become true.

"The ghost told you that kind of thing, don't spout blood!"

Ye Ya didn't think that Widow Liu would make up such nonsense to slander her, her face flushed with anger, and she hurriedly defended herself.

Liu Yuniang recognized Ye Ya's soft-skinned temperament, and approached her a few steps with a smile: "Sister Ye, we have no grievances or enmities, why should I frame you, don't you think so?"

"you……."

"Bah, my second sister-in-law is not your kind of person, who knows which dog bit you, and came here to slander my second sister-in-law! What kind of you are, what is my second sister-in-law, all the aunts and sisters present can see it all You are just bullying my second sister-in-law who is not as cheap as you and as thick-skinned as you, so stop messing around here!" Chun Xing was furious, ran out from behind Ye Ya, stared at Widow Liu and cursed.

The charming smile on Liu Yuniang's face did not change at all, she clicked her tongue twice, and looked Chun Xing up and down: "Chun Xing, you are a young girl who has not been out of the court, why do you speak so badly, tell me, what kind of girl am I? people?"

Chun Xing was impulsive just now, but now that Widow Liu is asking, how can she, a big girl, speak out?He was also choked immediately, only trembling with anger.

Liu Yuniang giggled, "Why do you..."

Before he finished speaking, his arm was suddenly pulled from behind vigorously, and one of them was thrown to the ground without paying attention. His upper body was rubbed with pebbles, and he rushed out for a long time before he stopped the momentum. The small stones had been washed away by the river water long ago, and the edges and corners were gone, but the rough friction still caused her bare arms to be scratched and stained with blood.

She raised her head in shock, but before she could see who was doing it, she was slapped again: "You rotten whore, if you dare to spread a rumor again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
