Chapter 361 Help Us
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Hu is a good man, but I don't want Ah Lu to stay here! Ah Lu is an honest child. If she is bullied, she will just endure it. I am worried about her!"
After hearing what Du said, Wei shook her head. It wasn't like they were in love with each other, but it was just the matchmaker's words. The real parties had no feelings at all.
My daughter has a gentle personality, and she was bullied because we were thousands of miles away. She had no support from her family, and no one was there to take care of her during childbirth.
With only this precious daughter, Wei is extremely worried!
"It's okay. You can discuss this matter with Third Brother and A-Lu. Even if you think it's a good idea, you should still ask A-Lu's opinion.
Although we pay attention to matching social status, we also have to consider the children's wishes. If they are not happy, don't force it, otherwise you will end up with enemies instead of marriage!
I have watched A-Lu grow up, she is just like my own daughter, and I have the same concerns as you!
The Hu family is indeed too far away, but to be honest, the two gentlemen are really good, and Mr. and Mrs. Hu are also very kind!
If we weren't going back to Chang'an, the Hu family would be a good choice." Du patted Wei's hand and said.
Yang Chunhua listened silently on the side. She would also return to Chang'an with her sisters-in-law next year, and would be thousands of miles away from her parents and brothers.
How similar to A-Lu! I went to the prosperous Chang'an, while A-Lu stayed in Wu County.
Then I thought about the baby in my belly. If it was a girl, her future in-laws would be so far away, and I would definitely not be happy about it.
I can't bear to let my daughter, whom I have raised with care, go to her husband's home to serve the parents-in-law who did not raise her.
It's okay to be treated well, but if you are bullied and mistreated, isolated and helpless, you will feel depressed and angry!
You can't even think about it. When Yang Chunhua thought about this scene, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to control herself and would pick up a knife and attack the door!
Su Ying sat there chewing sugarcane, and the three sisters munched on it with a crunching sound, looking carefree.
The second-season rice has been harvested, the paddy fields have been plowed, and the winter wheat has been planted.
The sugarcane in the vegetable garden of the old house was cut. The children in the village school each received one sugarcane, and two were given each to the Zhou, Song, and Qin families.
There are a few left at home. After working hard for a year, I take a bite and taste the fruits of my labor.
After that, I had to teach the children step by step, and then wait for my second aunt to give birth, and the family would spend the winter in seclusion.
Everything is going on track in an orderly manner, and there is no need to spend all day worrying about how to find food and how to develop.
"Where's Aying? Is she settled?" Seeing her niece happily chewing sugarcane, Wei couldn't help asking.
"Oh! Do you think she has found a place to stay? She's busy all day long. She's only fourteen years old. I'm worried!
In this area, apart from Lord Hu, we only know Lord Lu and Lord Wang from the provincial government.
The eldest son of Lord Lu is married and has children, and he also has two younger sons.
Judging from Lord Lu's character, I think he has good upbringing, but we are from a humble family and cannot marry into such aristocratic families."
Mrs. Du sighed, feeling sorry for the injustice suffered by her eldest daughter.
Such an outstanding girl, even better than boys, was eventually relegated to being a woman in the inner chamber because of her gender, serving her parents-in-law and taking care of her husband and children.
The three sisters-in-law sat there, each with their own thoughts, sighing. In the blink of an eye, their daughter grew up and it was time to get married.
The old lady came back staggering on crutches, chatted with her mother-in-law and the Qin family, and went home satisfied.
"What's this? No dinner today?" The old lady saw that her three daughters-in-law hadn't moved and the stove was empty.
"Oh, I forgot!" Mrs. Du exclaimed, and the three sisters-in-law hurriedly got up to get busy.
"Erlang's wife, please sit down. The baby is about to be born. Don't make a mess!" The old lady called Yang Chunhua.
"That's right, second brother's wife, don't come and cause trouble. Zhen'er and I are enough!" Mrs. Du held Yang Chunhua down.
"Mom, it's late today, why don't we keep it simple and cook a pot of noodle dumplings!" Su Ying suggested.
As soon as the water boils, put the dough balls into the pot one by one after mixing them into a thin dough. Add vegetable leaves and cook them in a while. Mix them with sesame oil and soy sauce and they taste delicious.
"Okay!" Mrs. Du poured the beaten rice back into the rice jar and turned it into flour.
He beat two eggs into the flour and stirred it into a thin dough. Wei washed the cabbage and twisted it into pieces.
It was getting dark, and everyone had a bowl of fragrant noodle dumplings. The cabbage was cooked until soft and tasty, and it tasted delicious as they slurped it up.
"Old man from Aying Village, old man from Aying Village, are you there?" Suddenly someone outside the yard called out anxiously.
"Oh, they're here!" Su Ying put down her bowl and chopsticks and came out, only to see two disheveled and bloody men standing outside the door.
"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Su Ying was startled and recognized that they were the men from Jinfeng Village.
"Old man from Aying Village, wuwu, you must make the decision for us! wuwu..." The Slang man burst into tears in grief and anger before he finished speaking.
"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?" Su Ying invited the person in.
She asked her mother to quickly cook two more bowls of noodles, and asked Xiaotao and Atang to ask Gao to bring the medicine box to see their injuries.
Su Ying understood the general idea from the two Slang men's intermittent narration.
They went to Rong County to open a sugar factory, completing all the necessary procedures and registering it with the government.
The shop opened today and villagers from Rong County came to sell sugarcane. However, they did not expect that the government officials would not only disperse the villagers selling sugarcane, but also drive them away and even rob them of their money.
Naturally, they refused to do so, and the two sides started a fight. The yamen runners attacked with knives. The manager, Apo, is now unconscious and his life or death is uncertain.
"Old man from Aying Village! You are familiar with the governor, you must help us! Apo and Adu are seriously injured, send them directly to the county town to see a doctor." The two Slang men pleaded with tears.
"Has anyone in the village been informed?" Su Ying asked.
"We'll come to find you!" the men said, wiping away their tears.
"Rong County is so evil! What kind of vicious dog is this, raised by a dog official? Isn't this the Tang Dynasty? How can there be such a dog official?"
Mrs. Du put the noodle dumplings in a rice bowl. Men have big appetites, and these two looked like they hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day, so she made some more.
"Thank you!" When the two men saw the hot noodles, they remembered that they had not eaten for a day.
"Eat first. I'll go with you to the county town to find Mr. Hu later!" Su Ying comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't be bullied for nothing!"
"Well! Thank you, Mr. Aying Village!" The Li man wiped his tears, picked up the rice bowl and started eating.
It had been a day of ups and downs, but now I was safe and things were settled, and the heavy stone in my heart had fallen.
I ate the hot and fragrant noodles cleanly with the soup, and felt alive again.
"Come, let's take a look at the injury!" Gao waited for a while with the medicine box.
"No need. We found a doctor in Rong County and got some medicine for our wounds. If he hadn't advised us to escape quickly, we would all be locked up in Rong County jail now! We still owe the doctor money for the medicine!" said the Li man.
"What happened in Jinfeng Village?" Old man Yang brought the village elders over to see if they needed help.
"An accident happened in Rong County. The new county magistrate wanted to take over the sugar factory and attack them!" Su Ying sighed.
Robbery and plunder have existed since ancient times. Not every place has good people like County Magistrate Hu, nor does every place have bad people like County Magistrate Rong.
Everything has been going smoothly since last year, which gave Su Ying the illusion that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous and peaceful.
Forget about the dark corners where the sun doesn't reach, and the cockroaches and bedbugs crawling around.
