Chapter 2 Threat
The flames in the stove grew stronger and stronger, as if they could set her on a prairie fire and roast her, burning her whole body.
Yu Tingwan said slowly: "Go to the matchmaker."
Little Xu raised her head suddenly: "Matchmaker?"
There was no gloating in her eyes. Can't hide it: "Mother can't tolerate you and wants to marry you off?"
She was married last year, and she was extremely wary when she first saw Yu Tingwan. As women, who would like Yu Tingwan who is more beautiful than a flower?
But the father-in-law felt pity for the niece whose parents had died. Not to mention her, even the mother-in-law Wang did not dare to blatantly treat her harshly and humiliate her.
Seeing that Yu Tingwan didn't respond, Xiao Xu covered her mouth and smiled: "I thought you were so capable, and you had to be the one who seduced my uncle."
"My mother is so disgusted. You, how good of a marriage can I find for you?”
It’s okay if the road is blocked due to heavy snow for a day or two, but what if it lasts for ten days and a half?
When the Wang family accepted the betrothal gift and threw Yu Tingwan out to cook the rice, her father would have to admit it even if he didn't.
Yu Tingwan did not respond.
"Mom gave birth to two sons for me. No matter how angry I am, I can't divorce her. It shows that your good days are coming to an end."
See Yu Ting Wan still has no response, Xiao Xu He thought he had frightened her, and said arrogantly and contemptuously: "You have been taken in by the Hu family these years, and you will inevitably move around when you get married. As long as you have a conscience, don't forget how good the Hu family has been to you."
Yu Tingwan was thoughtful.
Xiao Xu narrowed her eyes: "You're not happy, are you?"
"I knew you were a white-eyed wolf!"
"Sister-in-law misunderstood."
>Yu Tingwan said softly: "I'm just thinking about how to live up to the Hu family's kindness."
That's pretty much it. Little Xu snorted contemptuously.
"I know that my sister-in-law is famous for her filial piety."
Yu Tingwan poured hot water for little Xu: "Although I am not as good as my sister-in-law in everything, I still have to follow my sister-in-law's example."
This little bitch’s mouth must be covered with honey!
Yes, after all, she is not lovable. She also had to beg her to say a few nice words in front of Mrs. Wang to help her find a good marriage.
Little Xu took the water bowl sarcastically. In her opinion, it was useless how Yu Tingwan tried to please her. After all, Wang only cared about money and did not care about her life or death.
"I have to learn from my sister-in-law and secretly subsidize my parents' family behind my husband's back."
Little Xu was so frightened that she dropped the bowl in her hand.
“What are you talking about?”
Yu Tingwan seemed not to notice her surprise, and lowered his head to look at the debris on the ground.
“I won’t let my sister-in-law dictate my affairs. My sister-in-law should just worry about herself.”
"Three days ago, my sister-in-law's family brothers came over. My sister-in-law is a good person and has to be a thief. She went to the cellar to pack more than a dozen cabbages and radishes while my aunt was away."
She seemed puzzled: "My sister-in-law just got married. Subsidy at that time My mother-in-law was caught delivering food secretly by her aunt, and she was beaten with wattle sticks until she could barely get out of bed. Why didn’t she learn a lesson?” The previous air. She gritted her teeth: "Are you threatening me?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm strict with my words."
Yu Tingwan picked up the broom Wang had just thrown on the ground and took care of the mess on the ground: " Yesterday you secretly called your aunt an old pious woman, but I didn’t reveal anything about it.”
She raised her eyes slightly, looking at Mr. Xu with crooked deer eyes, with a smile on her lips, and was very embarrassed: "It's just..."
Mr. Xu was inexplicably nervous when she looked at her: "Just what?"
"There are only a few bowls at home, and my sister-in-law lost her temper and smashed them. I can't help with this matter."
What does it mean to lose your temper! ! She clearly wasn't sure!
You have the nerve to mention it! If you hadn't brought the water over, how could she have fallen down!
Little Xu didn't dare to behave like a monster again, so when the porridge was ready, Yu Tingwan started to eat the morning food. But the silence didn't last long. There was noise and chaos outside, and there were faint sounds of sobbing and crying. "Quick, quick, send the person to Old Man Qian for treatment."
"You're still alive? Hey, why are you injured like this? This whole body is covered in blood, it's really scary to look at. ”
If it weren’t for her heavy body and fear of being hit by too many people, Xiao Xu would have run out to take a look.
But Yu Tingwan, who was opposite, looked calm and put a pickle with the porridge. It was as if the sky was falling and she wouldn't even blink.
Aren't you curious?
Freak!
The crowd outside dispersed at some point. Wang, who had just returned from the matchmaker, asked Aunt Wu next door to inquire.
"Seriously? The guy who was just carried over was the boy from the Wei family who was promoted to serve in the army? Didn't he say he was dead?"
"Xu Shiming survived."
Wang's tone was particularly sour: "But the Wei family had received pension money from the court in the early years, and they also received half a cent of military pay and three buckets of rice every month."
What a blessing!
The imperial court provided subsidies to the families of fallen soldiers, but the money was distributed layer by layer, and it was hard to say whose pocket it ended up in. Especially in a remote area like Linxi Village, how much money can the people actually have?
Ms. Wang shouted angrily: "Someone from my mother's side also died on the battlefield, and the pension money and rice were not seen. I went to the Yamen to make trouble, and was beaten to the point of losing half of my life."
Why! They are all dead, why is there such a big difference in treatment?
"If someone is very lucky, will it be the same if he joins the Wei Jiajun stationed at the northwest border?"
The Wei Jiajun has made meritorious deeds all year round!
Wang was disdainful: "What's so great. Everyone said that General Wei was so capable, didn't he die on the battlefield and become a short-lived ghost?"
Aunt Wu said solemnly: " General Wei Can you arrange it? What's his identity? What's your identity? If this word spreads, your family's studies will be over."
Dare to speak again.
Aunt Wu did not hesitate to argue with her, and sighed: "I think that Mr. Wei is in danger."
Aunt Wu sighed: "Now that the mountain is closed, people from outside can't come in, and people inside can't get in." Since he couldn't get out, he couldn't go to the town to see a doctor, so the old man Qian usually only saw a few things. For a minor problem like fever and headache, the fee is very expensive, and I’m afraid I’ll have to eat wild ginseng to die.” A penny? "
Yes, Mrs. Wei is very poisonous.
Wang felt relieved to see the ungrateful person, and asked: "How did the person come back?"
Aunt Wu was beaming with joy and relished: "It was discovered at the foot of the mountain. At that time, the wife of the second wife of the Wei family was collecting firewood. She saw a group of people surrounding her and said that a stranger had rolled down from the forest. She went over to take a look. , cried on the spot and said it was her Alang.”
"She also has a hard life. As it is now, her daughter died half a year ago. This second wife is destined to have no future."
Yu Tingwan came out after eating the morning meal and met the two of them. , she called Aunt Wu, then looked gloomy and prepared to go back to the house.
“Stop.”
Wang scolded with a sullen face: “I have been crawling into the house all day long. Have the chickens been fed? The pigs and grass have been cut?”
Yu Tingwan said honestly: No. "
"Why don't you go? "
Yu Tingwan drooped his head: "I'm sick and have no strength. "
Wang was stunned. Yu Tingwan was still choking with her before going out, which made her teeth itch with hatred.
"When did you get sick? ”
Yu Tingwan had an innocent face, but she was very determined: "Now."
