The next day, the crocodile crowed in the yard, the kitchen crackled, and the shouts were endless. Qiao Mingjin woke up slowly.

The daughter beside her still slept soundly while holding her clothes. This cowardly child could only sleep peacefully by his mother's side.

She tucked the quilt for her daughter, tweaked the messy hair on her face, stared at her daughter's tender little face for a long time, and a soft part in her heart turned into a pool of water.

She touched her daughter's soft hair, stared at the gray tent and became dazed...

The man who brought her porridge yesterday was her husband, Yue Zhongyao, the third son of Yue family.

The Yue family has five children, all with daughters at the beginning and end, and three children in the middle. Yue Zhongyao is the second son of the Yue family.

Four years ago, the imperial court attacked the Uighurs and recruited young and strong men over fifteen years old to join the army.

That year, Yue Laosan and Yue Laossi got married in the same year.

When the county yamen runners came to register, Qiao Mingjin was not happy yet. At that time, Yue Laoer's wife Cui and Yue Laosi's wife Liu were both pregnant, and Yue Laoer and Yue Laosi refused on this grounds. The number of recruits fell on Yue Laosan's head.

If Yue Lao San can pay the money, he doesn't have to go there in person.

However, the Yue family is just a common house with a large family and a small land area. The few acres of thin land are not enough to eat enough, so how can there be money to pay Yue Lao San's money?

Later, Qiao Mingjin's mother's family received news, and people came to her parents and uncle's family.

Her father was a scholar and his two brothers were under fifteen years old, so he avoided the disaster. This made him feel even more distressed to his newly married daughter. He heard that his son-in-law was going to be recruited into the army, so he rushed over.

Qiao Mingjin's family said that Yue Lao San could not go there before he had a queen. And his two brothers had a queen. If Yue Lao San had something wrong, would he have to watch Qiao Mingjin live alone and widowed?

Yue Laoer and Yue Laosi were afraid that they would be taken to the battlefield where nine out of ten will not return. They repeatedly said that if there was an accident between their brothers, they would adopt their son to Yue Laosan and would support Qiao Mingjin to live for the rest of their lives in the future.

Yue Laosan saw that his sister-in-law and sister-in-law cried so hard that the fetus was almost out of her mind. He resolutely left his wife, who had been married for only a few months, and followed the official officer.

Half a month after Yue Laosan left, Qiao Mingjin was diagnosed with pregnancy.

The next year, he gave birth to a daughter. Qiao Mingjin's scholarly father gave her the big name "Yue Qingwan". Following the Qiao family's daughter named "Wan", which means beautiful jade.

The third son of Yue went there for four consecutive years, not knowing life and death.

Until last year, the Uighurs surrendered, signed documents for a hundred years without mutual aggression, surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, and paid tribute every year.

Only then did Yue Laosan get lucky to return.

Yue Laosan's life was saved.

Before his death, the man asked Yue Laosan, who was also a fellow villager, to help him take care of his wife and daughter, and Yue Laosan responded.

After returning to his hometown, Yue Laosan took the fifty taels of pensions sent to the man by the court to see the family.

Only the wife Sun, who was in his early thirties, and his daughter Liu Meiniang, who was seventeen years old and had not yet settled in the family, as well as his 15-year-old son Liu Youcai, who was studying in a private school.

The family was in a difficult situation, and they only relied on the Sun mother and daughter to wash the oars and do some embroidery work to make a living. They also had to support their son to study and live a tight life.

Sun held the fifty taels of silver tightly and cried to death, grabbed Yue Laosan and said that the sky had fallen and could not survive.

He pulled Yue Laosan and cried and insisted that he marry her daughter Mei Niang as his wife, and repay her with her body.

Yue Laosan was embarrassed and was impatient with her entanglement, so he only accepted the position of concubine.

But Liu Sun did not follow.

Once her husband left, the family couldn't survive. Yue Laosan looked at his handsome talent and was recommended to an acquaintance in the army and became a constable. He naturally had hope of survival after relying on him.

Yue Laosan's mother, Wu, saw that her son was recommended, went to the county government to become a constable. She had 800 yuan in a month for public grain that could ensure the harvest of drought and flood, and was extremely proud. She gradually looked down on Qiao Mingjin.

He also heard that Liu Sun would give half of the pension silver from 50 taels to Liu Meiniang as a dowry, so he immediately agreed to Liu Meiniang as a fair wife.

I am so pitiful that Qiao Mingjin has been staying in the Han Kiln for four years. He raised his daughter alone and hoped that his husband would return alive. However, his husband would bring her such a big surprise...

Qiao Mingjin was thinking about it in a mess when he heard the door creaking and was gently pushed open from outside.

Then he saw Yue Zhongyao's head poking in.

Yue Zhongyao carefully pushed open the door and stepped in, carefully protecting the bowl in his hand, for fear that the porridge in the bowl would be sprinkled out.

He looked up and met Qiao Jinniang's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I was a little confused and nervous. But I quickly calmed my expression and turned around and closed the door, walked to the edge of the bed with a large porcelain bowl.

"Grandma Jin, are you awake? Are you hungry?" A little pleasing in her tone.

Seeing that Qiao Jinniang was not responding to him, Yue Zhongyao pursed his lips. He stood in front of the bed and rubbed the mud with his shoes at a loss. He didn't know what to say for a moment...

He came here by asking for his wife himself, and he has always been held in his heart.

At that time, her father was setting up a stall at the market to write letters for others. Someone made trouble and wanted to collect the stall fee and drove him away.

He happened to go to the market to buy things that day, so he helped beat several gangsters away. Because her father's feet were discounted, he kindly carried him to the clinic to prepare medicine and bones. After that, he carried him back to Yunjia Village.

There, I fell in love with Qiao Jinniang at first sight.

At that time, he felt as if he was instantly stalking his breath, and his chest was pounding violently.

He had never seen a woman who looked so beautiful. She had a small face, not as big as a palm, her eyes were big and smart. Her nose, lips, and her pink and tender ears... He just thought that everything looked good, just like the person in the painting.

After coming back, I couldn't forget it after turning around, so I took the opportunity to visit the disease frequently, hoping to take a look at it more.

Later, when his family wanted to arrange a marriage for him, he immediately remembered her.

Only the mother did not agree.

He said that the sour scholar came from outside, and he didn't know the bottom of the house, and he didn't have a house or acre of land. He brought a widow to live in his wife's village. Except for how to write two words, he couldn't even take up a hoe.

Such a family is probably so poor that they can’t even get a dowry, and there is no help from tribe members in fighting.

He just ignored it and wanted to book the eldest daughter of Qiao Jinniang, who was the one in the family, or else he would not get married.

He also went to find Xiucai Qiao himself.

Qiao Xiucai was relieved by him and felt that this person had a good character and had a strong heart to his daughter, so he agreed to him.

Seeing that the Qiao family did not ask for much debt and could not beat their stubborn son, Wu turned a blind eye and agreed.

In the end, the Yue family only spent one or two entries to marry Qiao Jinniang.

Yue Zhongyao married someone and felt that his life was happy from now on.

His wife was three years younger than him, and she had just gotten married when she married him. She followed her father to read and read, and her grandmother taught her since she was a child. She heard that she was a little familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was also very good at embroidery. She saw that the mandarin ducks embroidered on the red wedding dress were just like they were alive.

During the few months of his wedding, he was full of complacent and laughed at everyone. His wife was not worse than the girls in the town, how could she be compared to those black girls in the countryside?

He also knew that his wife looked down on him, who was a big man, and thought he was unlearning.

Later, he gritted his teeth and borrowed several books from Yue's family. Because he had read a few big words when he was a child, he finished reading those books word by word.

If he didn't understand, he secretly ran to his father-in-law's house for advice, hoping that his wife would look up to him.

His wife Qiao Mingjin doesn't know how to do farm work, so he never cared about it.

When his mother was pointing her fingers, he secretly helped her do more work.

He was willing to follow her in everything. He didn't think much of her cold personality, and he always felt that his wife was wronged to marry him...

For four years, he thought of her all the time on the battlefield, thinking about his wife's smooth and snowy skin...

He knew that he promised to marry another woman as a fair wife, so she must have been very sad. He thought of carrying her daughter back to her parents' home.

Seeing her lying silently on the bed these days, he felt sobbing. Every day before dawn, he got up and went to the market to buy meat. After coming back, he personally cooked meat porridge for her.

After receiving less than a month's leave, I also plucked up the courage to ask the headmaster for a few days off and stay at home.

Now that she was lying on the bed and looking at him coldly, Yue Zhongyao felt a little panic in his heart, afraid that she would say something to be with him again.
