As soon as she saw Chen Ermao and the others coming in, Qiaoer was immediately frightened and hid behind Cui Hongyu, "Sister-in-law, they are all bad people. They want to rob me and sell me."
Seeing Chen Ermao and the others, Cui Hongyu also panicked. Among the eight villages nearby, who doesn’t know their names?
Hearing what Chen Qiaoer said, she burst out with infinite power. It has always been human instinct to protect the weak.
"Chen Ermao, you are not welcome here, please get out."
Chen Ermao chuckled, "Cui Hongyu, don't glare at me. You are a weak woman and you are a dragster. If I really want to take action, you will have no power to fight back."
Cui Hongyu showed no sign of weakness, "So what? At worst, one life is worth one."
At this moment, Xiumei, who heard the noise in the yard next to her, immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Dachun, hurry over and see if there is another dog bullying Qiaoer."
As soon as he heard the name Dachun, Chen Ermao immediately panicked. He looked at the monkeys and the others, and they ran away.
Seeing them running away, Cui Hongyu breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and picked up Qiaoer.
"Don't be afraid, Qiaoer, the bad guys are gone."
At this time, Xiumei lay on the wall and looked over, and couldn't help laughing. "These dogs are as timid as mice. They scared away Dachun when they called her name."
Xiumei was happy, but Cui Hongyu was still upset. After waiting for more than half an hour in fear and uneasiness, Chen Xiaobei came back, carrying a heavy bag of wild eggs in each hand.
Nearly two hundred wild eggs are precious to this family.
Chen Xiaobei knew in his heart that there were so many wild eggs that could not be eaten in the middle of summer and would soon go bad, so he recalled his experience of pickling salted duck eggs in his hometown in his previous life.
Yes, I will go to the county town tomorrow to buy some salt and pickle these wild eggs so that I can eat them for a long time.
Just have dinner.
Cui Hongyu finished clearing the table and started making the bed.
There are two beds in a room, one belongs to Chen Qiaoer and the other belongs to Chen Xiaobei.
After all, Chen Qiaoer was young. She took Cui Hongyu's hand and said with a bit of pleading, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, can you sleep with me tonight? Qiaoer is scared."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei couldn't wait to step forward and tell his sister, "My wife is mine, how can I sleep with you?"
Cui Hongyu smiled and patted Chen Qiaoer's head in agreement, and then found an opportunity to whisper to Chen Xiaobei, "Husband, please forgive me, Hongyu has been red for the past few days, which is inconvenient. I will wash my body before having sex with you in the bridal chamber." .”
All right.
Chen Xiaobei could only agree reluctantly, and he did not want to fight to the end.
That night Chen Xiaobei suffered from insomnia. He looked at the roof without moving, and in his heart thousands of mythical beasts were rushing past and back again.
What kind of time have I traveled through time? It’s so easy for my wife to deliver it to my door, but I can’t even touch it.
In so many time-travel novels, the character is either a prince or a prince, and the last one is a young landowner with a group of wives and concubines.
Is it because I have read too many novels like this, so God wants to give me a different experience?
But soon he thought of another possibility, that is, Cui Hongyu didn't want to marry him and was forced to do so.
After having this idea, he seemed indifferent. The so-called forceful melon is not sweet, so it is better to openly explain the situation to Cui Hongyu and let Cui Hongyu pursue his own happiness.
At this time, Cui Hongyu was actually not asleep either.
Her heart was in turmoil.
If it hadn't been for the accidents that happened three times before, I would at least have married into a well-off family, had no worries about food and clothing, raised a husband and raised children, and lived a peaceful life.
But now, it doesn't matter that Chen Xiaobei's family is poor. Today, Chen Ermao barged in and said a few words that left her with lingering fears.
Why does Chen Ermao dare to be so unscrupulous? Isn't it because he feels that his family can't count on him, and Chen Xiaobei is an orphan and has no one to rely on?
In a daze, she turned over and the bed creaked.
The noise alarmed Chen Xiaobei. He hesitated and asked softly, "Hongyu, aren't you asleep?"
Cui Hongyu hummed softly, "Husband, aren't you asleep too?"
"I can't sleep. I want to tell you the real situation of my family."
Chen Xiaobei sat up slowly, "I won't hide it from you. My family only has two acres of land in total, and we rent it to others, and we only give it two hundred kilograms of grain a year."
"This is all my family's current source of income. These 200 kilograms of grain may not be enough for my sister and I."
"By the way, I've planted some green leafy vegetables in the wasteland behind. If I'm lucky, I can sell some copper coins in the city to support my family."
"So you have to think clearly, if you stay at my house, you may not be able to have enough to eat in the future, and you will have to tighten your belt to live."
"Of course, I will go to the mountains to find some pheasants and the like, and I can exchange them for some money in the city, but I'm not sure how much I can get in a year."
Chen Xiaobei finished describing the situation at home in one breath, and his heart dropped.
The stone in his heart fell to the ground, but Cui Hongyu was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
I think I, Cui Hongyu, am also a top-notch woman from all over the country. I can do all kinds of sewing and field work at home and abroad. I can also do my father's medical skills.
But what's the use of having more.
Married to the impoverished Chen Xiaobei, she was despised by others, saying that she came to eat other people's food and make them hungry.
However, if he was not here with Chen Xiaobei, where could he go? Thinking about the joyful look of his father and elder brother when he left, Cui Hongyu knew that that home no longer belonged to him.
Although she was given a lot of silk and satin as a dowry, these were all saved by her hard work over the years by helping her father work and practicing medicine.
So now she has no other choice but to stay here with Chen Xiaobei.
Thinking of this, she could only change her tone of prayer and said, "Husband, don't worry. When I came here, my parents' family gave me a lot of silk and satin. I will take it to the county town and sell it in exchange for food. Don't worry, I will Here, I promise not to let you and Qiaoer go hungry."
Listening to Cui Hongyu's words, Chen Xiaobei felt very uncomfortable.
I didn't want to drive her away, I just wanted to explain the family situation clearly to her, but I didn't expect that Cui Hongyu misunderstood.
He quickly changed his tone and said, "Well, I don't want you to leave, I just want to tell you about the situation at home."
But his sudden turn made Cui Hongyu mistakenly think that Chen Xiaobei had heard that he was going to use his dowry in exchange for money to buy food, so he kept him.
Cui Hongyu felt infinitely disappointed, and her favorability towards Chen Xiaobei also plummeted.
Little did Chen Xiaobei know that he had unknowingly become the scumbag in Cui Hongyu's heart.
