"Oh, is it Xiaoyue? Are you here to deliver food to the uncle's family?" A dark-skinned aunt sitting on the field ridge asked when she saw her.
She didn't know this person, but she agreed, "Well, aunt, I'm here to deliver food to the uncle's house."
There was a young daughter-in-law next to me who asked maliciously, "Why didn't you go to the field with me?"
Jiang Yue's face showed a very grateful look, "My aunt said that I am not young anymore and I need to take good care of myself. I just need to beat pig grass to feed the pigs, wash clothes, cook, sew clothes, carry water and chop firewood every day. I don’t need to get started with the rest.”
The expressions of everyone in the field were subtle. Apart from going to the fields, they had already done all the work. What else could they be busy with? Besides, the fields are not busy now, how can a family of four be so tired just pulling some grass, and a little girl even needs to carry water and chop firewood?
This is too outrageous!
Although the village says that girls also have to work, this does not include such strenuous work. If a woman does this, the man in the family must die...
Jiang Yue pretended to be innocent and didn't know anything. She kept a stiff smile all the way, bowed her head and answered anyone who asked, showing a well-behaved and obedient appearance.
No matter what, you can restore a good image in front of everyone, right?
By the time she arrived at Uncle Jiang's field, Eugene Hua was so hungry that she shouted directly, "You little hooves, are you lazy again? Why did you bring the food so late?"
This was not nice to say at all, and the people resting under the tree frowned.
Jiang Dajin tugged on his mother-in-law's sleeves and glared at her before she shut up angrily.
Why Jiang Dajin's family is willing to raise an orphan girl is not only because of the attention of the villagers, but also because of the money left by her parents when they died.
The money was collected in front of the village chief, and he promised to take good care of their only daughter.
If the orphan is openly abused and his reputation is ruined, good families will not be willing to marry their daughter into their family. Eugene Flowers is still waiting to find a wife for his eldest son.
Jiang Dajin said to Jiang Yue pleasantly, "Xiaoyue, you have worked hard. After seeing you off, go home and eat, and have a good rest."
Jiang Yue laughed in her heart, is there anything else to eat at home?
She also smiled and responded gently, "Okay, uncle."
She also went back to the house very simply. Since she said she wanted to have a good rest, she went to sleep. Her body is really in dire straits. Unfortunately, she can't replenish her health openly for the time being.
Being raised too well is a sin in this family.
The next day, because of the pheasant incident the day before, Jiang Yue did not go into the mountains and only cut pig grass at the foot of the mountains.
Just as she expected, Jiang Dajin's family made a big fool of themselves.
The weather has been mild recently, and the work in the fields has not been heavy. After pulling weeds, many people are enjoying the cool air and chatting under the trees.
While chatting, Eugene Flower suddenly felt itchy on her body.
She scratched her neck and her chest began to itch.
At the beginning, pay attention to the image and scratch gently. But when she was too weak to relieve the itch, she scratched hard. Unknowingly, the buttons on her chest fell apart.
That's not all, she started scratching her butt after scratching her chest!
Aunt Jiang Six couldn't stand it, "Dajin family, what are you doing?"
The breasts are almost exposed. Didn't you see all the men under the tree looking there?
But the more Eugene Flower scratched, the more itchy she felt, "Are there bugs on my body? It's so itchy!"
Jiang Dajin also started scratching, and so did his two sons.
Jiang Dagui could still bear it and just scratched silently, but the ten-year-old Jiang Erfu couldn't bear the discomfort. He rolled up on the ground and scratched while rolling. One hand reached into his crotch and the other scratched his neck. There were bloody marks all over.
"Mom! It's so itchy! I feel so uncomfortable!"
Aunt Jiang Six saw that everyone in the family was scratching, so she leaned over and took a look, "Ouch! There are bloody marks all over this body from being scratched. Don't scratch anymore!"
After all, she didn't know what the situation was and didn't dare to take action.
The onlookers also took their eyes away from Eugene's breasts and became concerned.
"Did you get poisoned by something? How come it's just your family?"
Eugene Hua had no brain to think at this moment, and only the word "poisoned" could be heard in her ears, and she was crying and shouting that she wanted to die or live.
At the critical moment, Jiang Dajin remained steady, "That's enough! Stop shouting!"
Like a chicken whose throat was pinched, Eugene flower lost her voice instantly.
Jiang Dajin helped his youngest son up and held his hand tightly to stop scratching him, "Let's go to Uncle Sanhe's house to see what's going on."
Jiang Sanhe is one of the few people in the village who knows a little bit about herbal medicine. The villagers will go to him for treatment when they have common ailments or pains. They spend a few pennies to buy some medicine and they can be cured after taking it.
The four members of the family went to see the doctor neatly, and the person who wanted to do it followed behind.
Jiang Sanhe was frightened by the crying and howling, and thought something big had happened.
I didn't even put on my shoes, so I hurried out to take a look.
After asking about the symptoms, he said, "Ouch! It's because he was poisoned by tickle grass. It doesn't matter."
When the villagers heard this, they were no longer interested. This itchy grass exists in the mountains, and it's not uncommon to see it in the village. Perhaps, it was because of the growth in their fields that the whole family was so neatly poisoned.
Jiang Sanhe asked, "Do you want to buy potion to wash it with or not?"
Eugene Flower blurted out, "Don't buy it!"
But Jiang Erfu cried and wanted to buy it, he was itching to death!
This itchy grass will not kill you. If you don't scrub it with medicine, the itching will be fine for two or three days. But the child couldn't help it. Within two or three days, he was already scratched to the point of losing his appearance.
Jiang Dajin said with a gloomy face, "Uncle Sanhe, I want three potions."
Jiang Sanhe raised his eyebrows, just three servings? But he didn't say anything. People make their own decisions about their own affairs. I got him medicine and left.
Jiang Yue was lying on the bed and heard the noise of several people coming back. Facing the wall and sneering, you deserve it!
He continued to sleep and did not get up to fetch them water like before.
Although Eugene Hua insisted on carrying the three cents. But after her husband finished washing, she still used the remaining water to scrub herself.
Although most of the efficacy of the medicine has been lost, it is still there. Relieved a lot of itching.
She was quite proud, feeling that she had saved three pennies. Don't look down upon these three pennies, they can buy three eggs!
After pouring the foot-washing water, she patted the person who was about to fall asleep on the bed.
"Master, why don't we get that little hooves married off as soon as possible?"
Jiang Dajin squinted his eyes, "Didn't you mean next year?"
Eugene Flower has become more and more dissatisfied with her recently, and her little hooves has become even more temperamental, daring to go against her.
"Our noble lady is still waiting for her betrothal gift to marry her! If we wait another year, the noble lady will be 17 years old. If we meet each other at the age of 17, we won't get married until we are 18."
Although 18 is not too late, in rural areas more people get married at the age of 16 or 17. If you are over 21 years old and are not married, you will need to pay a large amount of tax and a fine.
Jiang Dajin was in a daze and didn't care much about his niece. If he wanted to get married, just get married.
"I'll go find out tomorrow."
It couldn't be to help her find a good family, so naturally she wanted to find out which family could offer more betrothal gifts.
They are the elders of the mother's family, so it is only natural for them to give a betrothal gift. No family raises a daughter for free.
