Chapter 5 The reason for jumping into the lake
Li Yunniang sighed: "Yes, you really jumped into the lake by yourself."
Chen Bing shook her head, surprised in her heart, and thought: "I only thought that I was pushed into the lake by the boy from the Li family, but I didn't think that I jumped by myself." She was anxious to know the reason in her heart, but she didn't know it on her face. With a lively voice, she said: "Mother Yun, I have lost my memory. Can you tell me why I jumped into the lake by myself?"
Li Yunniang nodded and said: "Yesterday at the beginning of the day, your mother-in-law said that you Wengweng remembered that Wu Jiajiao shop had ordered fish from him and asked your father to deliver it quickly. About half an hour after your father left, someone in the village A man who looked like a young boy came with a few servants and broke into your house. He dragged you out without saying a word and said, "My dear wife, your mother-in-law has agreed to sell you to my family, Yuan Wai Li." , you just have to follow me happily, and I will keep the food and drink for you in the future.'"
Chen Bing was shocked: "What, did that boy just break into my house and drag me away?"
Li Yunniang said: "Yes, your mother was so shocked after hearing this. You are her most precious treasure, how could she agree to sell you and drag the young man to prevent him from leaving. And the quarrel in your family also shocked the neighbors on the left. After my father saw it, he felt that something was wrong, so he asked my mother to keep an eye on it and delay it for as long as possible. He was fast on his feet and ran to catch up with your father."
Chen Bing nodded, and Li Yunniang continued: "Although Huahu Village is not a big village, you have always lived and worked in peace and contentment. The life in the village is not rich, but it is quite abundant. There has never been anyone who sells sons and daughters. Your Chen family is here The village is already doing well, but this time it is Er Niang who is being sold. Er Niang, you are very popular in the village. In addition, you have excellent water skills and are very good at fishing. You often use the fish and shrimps you catch to support the village. There are other poor people, so this incident exploded in the village."
Li Yunniang glanced at Chen Bing and said: "After learning about this, the villagers gathered in front of your house one after another. People who often receive your favor must ask the young man to give an explanation. The young man was very arrogant and said: 'You Wait for these unruly people to make a fuss. This is what her mother-in-law agreed to sell. Huh, if you are making a fuss, you will know that it is a fuss. Is there any royal law?!" As soon as he finished speaking, he actually took the deed of sale from his sleeve. He came out. But almost no one in the village is literate, and your brother Chen Tingyao followed your father to the Wujia Foot Shop."
Chen Bing interrupted Li Yunniang and asked: "Since my mother-in-law wants to sell me, why don't she come out to explain the matter?"
Li Yunniang sighed and said: "Ever since you broke your leg, your mother-in-law has taken care of you and doesn't go out often. She does go out occasionally, mostly to buy daily necessities. Selling you was her idea. The villagers gathered around her." Naturally, she doesn't dare to come out of the courtyard gate."
When she saw Chen Bing nodding, she said: "The young man saw more and more people gathered around him, and he felt a little weak. He softened his words and said, 'My dear wife, I told you that our member Li is rich and powerful. You have a wide range of friends. Who doesn't know who in Changxing County? It can be said that the family has a big business. Now that your family wants to sell you in, it is your blessing and your destiny, but you have to think about it.'"
Chen Bing laughed dryly and said, "Young man, how could I possibly agree to this?"
Li Yunniang sighed: "Hey, you are good at everything, but you are too impatient. This matter should be postponed until your father comes back to deal with it. But when you got there, you broke away from the boy's hand and scolded him angrily. He said: 'You bastard, my parents treated me very well, and I have nothing to repay in life. Even if I die, I will never go back with you!' As soon as you finished saying this, I felt terrible at that time. . Sure enough, you ran all the way to the edge of Taihu Lake. When you arrived at the pier by the lake, you knelt down and kowtowed three times to your mother. Without saying a word, you plunged into Taihu Lake."
"Perhaps your life should not have been cut off. It happened that your father and brother were chased back by my father at this time. He saw you jumping into the lake from a long way away, shouted loudly, and jumped in after him. I fished you out of the lake. I originally thought that Erniang was so good at water, even if she jumped into the lake, she wouldn't be unconscious. But I didn't expect that after your father fished you out, you would be as motionless as if you were dead. , it scared me at the time, and your mother even fainted from crying. Your father is a calm man, and he and your brother took you home."
Chen Bing asked hurriedly: "What about the boy?"
"Guess what?" Seeing Chen Bing shaking his head, Li Yuniang continued: "How could that young man let you go and try to snatch you back? Fortunately, my father Li Wuyi stopped him. He shouted: "Second mother is from my village. You are not allowed to take her away until I agree!" The young man still insisted on being stubborn and said: "That was what her mother-in-law of the Chen family agreed to sell to Li Yuanwai. You can't wait." What's the use of agreeing? Otherwise, Mr. Li will go to the county government to file a lawsuit against you, so that you and other unruly people will suffer the consequences!'"
"My father then said: 'Her mother-in-law agrees, then you take her back. If Brother Xingzu doesn't agree, you can't touch Er Niang's hair! Otherwise, the people here will make you unable to eat and walk around! 'Everyone gathered around the boy and all claimed that he was. The boy still kept talking harshly. My father got annoyed, so he and the other villagers beat him. My mother helped Aunt Meiniang back home, and your father turned around. I went to ask the Cowherd to save you. I’m afraid you should remember what happened next, right?”
Chen Bing asked: "Why did the boy come back later?"
Li Yunniang said: "After the boy was beaten, maybe he still didn't give up. He took a few servants and went around the small road to your house. My father and his people were guarding the main road intersection, and he didn't see anyone else. I didn't know it was good, so I took the people to your house again, alas, the result was as expected."
Chen Bing took a breath and rubbed his fists with his hands. He was very nervous. Although he had never experienced what happened before jumping into the lake, he had experienced it and really lost his life. Thinking of this, he raised his hands He put his hands together and said in his heart: "Original body, original body, I know you are a good girl. You would rather give up your life than be sold into the family of Mr. Li. Since I have entered your body, I hereby swear that I will do it for you." You will live a good life and be filial to your father and mother. I will definitely not let you die in vain. If you break this oath, heaven will strike! Hey, if you want to survive in this world, you will have to be more distracted in the future. .”
"What are you praying for with your hands clasped together?" Li Yunniang looked at Chen Bing with a smile.
Chen Bing also smiled and said: "I am secretly grateful. I am grateful to my father, mother and Cowherd for saving my life. I am even more grateful to the people in the village who have helped me, Yun Niang, the people in the village are all good people."
"Er Niang, drink the medicine!" Ye Meiniang's voice sounded from outside the house.
Li Yunniang stuck out her tongue at Chen Bing, made a face, and said with a smile: "Second mother, please take good care of your health first and drink the medicine well. My father told me to learn fishing from you in the future. Hey, I don’t even know how to swim, so how can I fish? Well, I’ll go back and help my mother first. In the next few days, you and I will meet at the same place as before.”
Chen Bing responded to her with a smile. Although he didn't know when the old time was or where the old place was, he didn't ask any more questions and sent Li Yunniang away.
Ye Meiniang carried the bowl of medicine into the room, but Chen Bing pinched his nose and frowned and said, "Mom, I can smell the smell of this medicine from all the way. It's so bitter."
Ye Meiniang took out a black plum and said with a smile: "Mom promised you yesterday that as long as you drink this bowl of medicine, I will give you some black plums. Mom always keeps her word. Look, what is this if it's not a black plum?"
Chen Bing did not like to drink traditional Chinese medicine in her previous life. She was afraid of the bitterness, so every time she needed to drink it, her mother had to coax her to finish it. If she could switch to other medicines such as pills and tablets, she would definitely not give up traditional Chinese medicine. However, In this life, there was only Chinese medicine. Chen Bing had no other choice. He frowned and closed his eyes tightly. He drank the bowl of medicine that was as bitter as coptis. After drinking, he pouted his mouth and stuck out his tongue. , Chewing the black plum handed over by Ye Meiniang, he said: "Mom, how long do I have to drink this medicine?"
Ye Meiniang was mischievous in her heart and threatened Chen Bing: "The Cowherd said, as long as you listen to my mother, you can drink it for ten and a half days. If you don't listen, hehe, I'm afraid you will have to drink it by this time next year."
Although Chen Bing knew that his mother was trying to scare him, he still felt scared. He nodded to Ye Meiniang and said sincerely, "I will definitely listen to your mother's words. If she teaches me to go east, I will never go west." After saying that, he lowered his head and sat aside and looked at Ye Meiniang timidly.
Ye Meiniang felt happy and said with a smile: "Well, from today on, you can only stay in the house and you are not allowed to go anywhere. You can't go out until your body and bones are healed. Do you understand?"
Chen Bing was stunned and said hurriedly: "Ah? How can that be done? I still have to help you and dad do things. Mom, I feel that my health is much better."
Ye Meiniang put on a serious face and said: "You are a very impatient kid, and there is nothing you can say about this matter. I have discussed it with your father, and there is nothing much going on these days. It has already entered winter, and you are the only one who can fish." Dad and Da Lang are enough. You don’t need to worry about the food at home. Mom has been the daughter-in-law of Lao Chen’s family for many years, so she is sure to take care of these things. You also have your second aunt to help you, so don’t worry. Just take care of your health and take care of yourself, and it won’t be too late to help my mother when you’re healthy.”
Chen Bing said in her heart: "Now it seems that the original person may be a little impatient and stubborn in daily life, otherwise she would not jump into the lake rashly. Now that I am behind her, I am afraid that it will be more or less... I have inherited some of her temperament." Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved and said, "Okay, I will just listen to my mother."
Ye Meiniang said with satisfaction: "That's my good boy. Mom is going to cook. When it's done, I'll bring it in for you. You can lie down and have a good rest."
Chen Bing stayed bored in the house for more than ten days, lying down every day. After Ye Meiniang finished doing housework, she would tell Chen Bing about the past, which made Chen Bing know more about his past. Li Yunniang would come to her to relieve her boredom whenever she had time. Through getting to know each other in the past few days, Chen Bing had also learned that Li Yunniang was his best friend in Huahu Village, and they were like sisters. Li Yunniang was younger than Chen Bing. Three months later, there are no more two parents in the family, and no brothers or sisters. Her mother’s surname is Hu and her name is Qiniang. And Li Yun’s mother is pretty and lovely, with stunning dimples, elegant red lips, smooth cheeks, and a delicate nose. She is exquisite, and her complexion is sweet and fragrant. She is not as rough as a farm girl. If it blooms more in the next few years, it is not an exaggeration to say that she will be the king of the country.
Chen Bing was lying at home that day, feeling really depressed and bored, thinking how great it would be if Li Yunniang could come and talk to him.
While she was thinking about it, she poked her head out of the window and called softly: "Er Niang, Er Niang, I've brought you something good!"
