Along the way, the eyes of the men around her kept wandering to her face, which made Ming Ye feel uncomfortable. He even held her with more strength. But she was heartless and would buy any food she saw. After walking for a while, he said, "Do you want to see the lotus?"
She almost forgot about Lianhua, but seeing the light in his eyes, she nodded subconsciously. Now that she had a destination, she stopped wandering around. Although Cui the Butcher was a pork seller, his pork was fresh and good, so he naturally occupied a stall in this area. The sound of the knife chopping bones was creepy. On this day, Cui the Butcher was dressed thinly, did not take care of himself, had a scruffy beard, did not look handsome, and even looked a bit wretched.
There were many maids coming to buy meat. While chopping the meat, Cui the butcher would occasionally joke with the maids from the wealthy families. The maids who were talked about so much became blushing and walked away shyly with the pork in their hands.
Jiuxi felt strange and asked, "A pork seller?"
Mingye nodded. The sun was a little strong at noon, so Yingchun held an oil-paper umbrella to block the sun for her. However, the little girl was an honest person. She endured the scorching sun by herself, with sweat dripping from her face.
In just half an incense stick of time, the number of people buying pork decreased significantly, and the pork hanging on the shelf of Cui the butcher was almost sold out. However, a slender woman came over from a distance, carrying a large wooden barrel in both hands and a bundle on her back. She was sweating profusely and approached Cui the butcher. It was already noon, and Cui the butcher was so hot that his skin was almost peeling off. What's more, Lianhua was a little late in delivering the meal. Cui the butcher had no place to vent his anger. When he easily took the barrel from Lianhua's hand, he said coldly, "Why are you so late?"
Lotus used to be a fair and clean girl, but now she does rough work every day, her face is tanned, and even her lips are chapped. She trembles like a sieve, and trembles as she says, "My mother is here."
In fact, Lianhua was not lazy, but her mother-in-law was a difficult person to deal with. She thought that it was a disgrace to the family that Cui the butcher married a lowly girl. However, Cui the butcher earned a lot of money and had a bad temper, so the old lady didn't dare to do anything to him. But Lianhua was miserable. She had been tortured by Cui the butcher at night and her lower body was swollen and painful. The old woman woke Lianhua up before dawn and asked her to do the work.
Ku Lianhua had only been married for half a month, but she was already as thin as a reed stick.
Seeing that Lianhua still dared to make excuses, the butcher Cui slapped Lianhua so hard that she sat on the ground. There was a little blood at the corner of her mouth. He said, "Go home and I will beat you to death, you bastard!"
In fact, Butcher Cui used to be quite nice to Lianhua, but one day, when he returned home early, he saw Lianhua rolling around with his brother, screaming loudly!
Suddenly, he lost all patience with Lotus.
Jiuxi stood aside, looking at the distorted expression on Lianhua's face, and said in a low voice, "You are really cruel."
Mingye's eyes were cold, but they became gentle when he looked at Jiuxi. He said, "She made you unhappy, but that's still the least of it."
The bloody smell here was too strong. Jiuxi felt uncomfortable looking at the pork on the chopping board. She curled her lips and said, "Let's go."
Ming Ye naturally listened to her and turned around with his arms around her. However, he never expected that the hem of Jiuxi's skirt, which was winding down to the ground, was actually grabbed by Lianhua. If he hadn't supported Jiuxi, Jiuxi would have fallen down. Ming Ye stared at Lianhua angrily, staring at her until Lianhua trembled all over.
