Chapter 1 001 Fish Creel

The sun was blazing, and the women in Xinghua Village finished washing their clothes and went home early. Only a pregnant woman was busy by the river.

Mrs. Lin held her waist and wrung out the last piece of clothing, put the clothes in her backpack, and walked up with difficulty from the river that covered her knees.

Because of her pregnancy, she moved very slowly and her belly was extremely big. She didn't look like she was eight months old at all, but rather like she was about to give birth.

Mrs. Lin carefully bent down and took out the fish basket. She was pleasantly surprised to see a small half basket of fish and shrimps in the fish basket.

We can have extra meals tonight, and the children at home may be able to drink some soup. Mrs. Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

"I've given birth to three girls in a row. If you give birth to a girl again this time, let's see how I deal with you! Go to the river to wash your clothes. There's only one month until the baby is born. How can you be so delicate? Even on the day of giving birth, you have to do it.

I’ve finished all the work at home and I’m too lazy for you!”

Thinking of her mother-in-law's words, the corners of Lin's lips drooped.

Who made her give birth to three daughters in a row, and she couldn't stand up straight.

Ma Shi, an experienced midwife in the village, said that her mother-in-law was so angry that she had a bad pregnancy and it was a daughter. She could not stand her more and more. She was given all the work at home and outside the house, treating her like a donkey.

This morning, after her mother-in-law scolded her, she went to the town to pray to Buddha, asking the Bodhisattva to give the Jiang family a son.

Erya trembled, lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, the fish and shrimp are gone and washed away by the water. I didn't expect them to run so fast when I put them in the water. Just now, Cat and Dog Dan tried to snatch my fish basket.

, my sister and I couldn’t fight, so we cried.”

Zhang jumped up and slapped Erya: "You can't do anything, just forget it if you are stupid! Even a fish basket can make you let the fish and shrimps escape. If your hand is broken, you can grow a mouth and eat white rice.

?Without the fish and shrimp, what will we eat tonight?"

Zhang's face looked ugly, and it was obvious that the fortune teller asked for in the temple was not good.

On the way, I met my next door neighbor, Mrs. Sun, coming back from weeding.

"Come on, I'll carry it for you, and you go on your way. Really, I don't know what I think. I'm treating my daughter-in-law like this, and I'm not afraid of hurting her."

"Why are you crying? How about mourning? It's unlucky! All day long I eat and don't work, and I spend the whole day collecting firewood. I can't find a boy because of you at home. If you cry again, your mouths will be sewn shut." Zhang

He opened his mouth with a loud voice and yelled and cursed.

Da Ya Er Ya quickly agreed, quickly picked up the clothes, fish and shrimps on the ground, and went to the river.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Zhang raised her hand and wanted to hit Erya a few more times.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Jiang Sufen seemed not to have seen her and walked over without looking away. I don't know if it was intentional or not. When she passed Lin's family, she kicked down her backpack and walked forward quickly.

"Mom, mother, what's wrong with you?" Six-year-old Da Ya was carrying a basket of firewood, followed by four-year-old Erya and two-year-old Sanya.

"There are fish!"

A group of children suddenly rushed over, cheering and jumping around her happily:

"Of course it's your fault!" Mrs. Zhang slapped Mrs. Lin with a strong force on her thick palm, "Hurry up and cook, I want to starve to death. I have never seen such an unfilial and lazy daughter-in-law like you.

!”

Mrs. Zhang sneered and snorted coldly: "You are really promising. For such a big person, you can still wrestle on the ground, but it is useless. No wonder you gave birth to a lot of money-losing babies."

All the clothes in the wooden basin were spilled, and all the small fish and shrimp in the fish basket were also spilled.

Jiang Sufen, who was doing embroidery in the room, came out and echoed: "That's my mother. Sister-in-law, look at how messed up you are. You've ruined the good things."

When Mrs. Lin saw something was wrong, she hurriedly stood in front of Erya to protect her daughter: "Mom, Erya is still young. She can't hold the fish basket. It's all my fault."

After saying that, he hurriedly took off his backpack and followed his grandson away. Mrs. Sun was so anxious that she didn't even have time to say hello to Ms. Lin.

Just as Ms. Lin was about to stop her, a certain naughty child rushed over and bumped into her. Ms. Lin stumbled and fell down. She was so painful that she couldn't speak. There was a pain in her body and she couldn't help but whimper. She was sweating profusely.

sit on the floor.

Da Ya Er Ya immediately stopped talking, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ms. Lin didn't want to get into trouble, so she walked slowly towards the door. She wanted to go out to pick up Da Ya, but Ms. Zhang stopped her: "Ms. Lin, where are you going, no one is shouting, and your eyes are filled with water?"

As soon as the two of them entered the yard and put down the pig grass, a fat and thick figure walked towards the door of the yard. It was Lin's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang.

"Come and pick it up!"

Mrs. Lin was obedient and pulled the three girls back.

Mrs. Lin felt a discomfort in her stomach and stood at the door holding her stomach. She pretended not to hear Mrs. Zhang's words. She was used to hearing these words. Although they were hurtful, she could learn not to take them seriously.

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction: "Whatever you want, you'll have to pay for the movie."

Mrs. Lin looked at her back worriedly, and was about to put the basket on her back when her sister-in-law Jiang Sufen came over holding a handkerchief.

"Bah, I, the Jiang family, have been unlucky for eight lifetimes before marrying a wretched, useless thing like you." Ms. Zhang spat hard. The least virtuous thing she did was to marry into the Jiang family.

Such a daughter-in-law from a prosperous family.

The old man’s eldest son, second son, and third daughter were all waiting for the meat and vegetables to be put into the pot. They finally had fish and shrimp for the tooth ceremony. This damn girl dared to let go. Why didn’t she let her head go?

He glanced at the pigweed on his eyes and said angrily: "Helps Daya to work again, she doesn't have any hands herself? I didn't ask you to wash the clothes, where are the clothes?"

The children swarmed up, incredibly fast.

"Mom, I don't care. Ask your sister-in-law to get me a basket of fish and shrimp. I want to eat it." Jiang Sufen hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm and acted coquettishly.

Mrs. Sun waved her hand and, regardless of her objections, untied her backpack and helped her carry it: "It's not in the way, it belongs to the next door neighbor. It's worth what it deserves."

Mrs. Sun saw her stomach trembling and trembling, and was afraid that her stomach would fall.

Da Ya Er Ya's cries came from far away, from far to near, loud and sharp.

"Sufen, you go home."

Mrs. Lin struggled to get up and took the basket from Daya's back: "Daya took the clothes to the river and rinsed them. Erya picked up the fish and shrimp and put them into the fish basket. Go to the river with Daya, be careful not to get hurt.

When we get to the river, Sanya and mother will go back."

She also wanted to steal some fish and shrimp to feed Xingguo, a boy from the east of the village, to eat. Could it be that Xingguo thought she was virtuous and was willing to marry her?

Who is Happy Country?

The only scholar in the village. He is handsome, can read, has strong abilities, and his family is in good financial condition. He is a perfect son-in-law.

“There are shrimps!”

The naughty children were frightened by Mrs. Lin's appearance, dropped their things and ran away.

Mrs. Lin couldn't care about anything else and was about to bend down to pick it up.

Mrs. Sun was startled, staring at her grandson with cloudy eyes, and said in a confused voice: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with your father? Let's go home!"

After saying that, he took the basket from Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin quickly refused: "Auntie, no need, I'll walk slowly, don't bother you."

Mrs. Sun put down the hoe: "My dear wife, it's such a big day and you have a big belly. How can you wash clothes? Your mother-in-law is really about to give birth. She's not afraid of tiring you. What should I do if something goes wrong?

?”

Doesn't she want to have a son, but she only has a daughter? What can she do?

Mrs. Lin put the fish basket at the bottom of her backpack, covered it with a wooden basin, and walked home step by step.

Several girls ran towards Mrs. Lin.

Lin explained in a low voice: "I just fell down. Da Ya went to the river to wash clothes. I guess she will be back now."

Mrs. Lin knew that she was angry, and she probably got angry with Gao Xingguo again, so she came to attack her to vent her anger.

If all the girls in Xinghua Village were to make a ranking list of the men they most want to marry, Gao Xingguo would definitely be at the top.

Not long after the two left, a child wearing a green patchwork jacket, with a cannon in the sky on his head, and eyes hanging from his eyes ran over, crying to Mrs. Sun with runny nose and tears:

"Mom, I fell into the field and broke my bones. Dad asked me to call you home."

Mrs. Lin felt distressed when she saw it, and took the basket from Daya's hand: "Come in quickly, where is the fish basket?"

Zhang became angry when talking about this. When I went to town today, the master in the temple said that they could only add a girl to their family this time, so that she could do more good deeds and accumulate virtue.

"Mom, I'm going to pick up Da Ya Er Ya."

"Run quickly, she fell!"

Mrs. Zhang enjoyed her daughter's closeness to her and nodded her nose lovingly: "Okay! Mrs. Lin, do you hear that? After cooking, bring back a basket of fish and shrimp."

Mrs. Lin took Sanya and walked back slowly.

At this time, a bloated and obese young man rushed home, shouting as he ran: "Mom, there is a bad guy beating me, please help me beat him!"

The visitor was none other than Zhang's second son Jiang Xianfei, a man with dementia whose intelligence was only three years old.
