As soon as she saw Chen Ermao and the others coming in, Qiaoer was immediately frightened and hid behind Cui Hongyu, "Sister-in-law, they are all bad people. They want to rob me and sell me."
Seeing Chen Ermao and the others, Cui Hongyu was also very panicked. Who in the neighboring villages didn't know the names of Chen Ermao and the others?
Hearing Chen Qiaoer say this, she burst out with infinite power. It has always been human instinct to protect the weak.
"You are not welcome here, Chen Ermao, please get out."
Chen Ermao chuckled and said, "Cui Hongyu, don't glare at me. You are a weak woman and you are a dragster. If I really want to take action, you will have no power to fight back."
Cui Hongyu showed no sign of weakness, "So what? At worst, one life is worth one."
At this moment, Xiumei, who heard some noise in the yard next to her, immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Dachun, hurry over and see if there is another dog bullying Hongyu."
As soon as he heard the name Dachun, Chen Ermao immediately became panicked. He looked at the monkeys and the others, and then they ran away.
Seeing them running away, Cui Hongyu breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and picked up Qiaoer.
"Don't be afraid, Qiaoer, the bad guys are gone."
At this time, Xiumei lay on the wall and looked over, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "These dogs are as timid as mice, and they scared them away as soon as they called Dachun's name."
Xiumei was happy, but Cui Hongyu was still upset. After waiting for more than half an hour in fear and uneasiness, Chen Xiaobei came back, carrying a heavy bag of wild eggs in each hand.
Nearly two hundred wild eggs are extremely precious to this family.
But Chen Xiaobei knew in his heart that so many wild eggs could not be eaten in the middle of summer and would soon go bad, so he recalled his experience of pickling salted duck eggs in his hometown in his previous life.
Yes, let's go to the county town tomorrow to buy some salt. We can pickle these wild eggs and eat them for a long time.
Just had dinner.
Cui Hongyu finished clearing the table and started making the bed.
There are two beds in a room, one belongs to Chen Qiaoer and the other belongs to Chen Xiaobei.
After all, Chen Qiaoer was young. She took Cui Hongyu's hand and said with a bit of pleading, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, can you sleep with me tonight? Qiaoer is scared."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei wanted to go up and tell his sister, "My wife is mine, how can I sleep with you?"
Cui Hongyu smiled and patted Chen Qiaoer's head in agreement, then found an opportunity and said softly to Chen Xiaobei, "Husband, please forgive me, Hongyu has been wearing red for the past few days. It is inconvenient. I will wash my body before I can have sex with you in the bridal chamber."
All right.
Chen Xiaobei could only agree reluctantly, and he did not want to fight to the end.
That night Chen Xiaobei suffered from insomnia. He looked at the roof without moving, and in his heart thousands of mythical beasts were rushing past and back again.
What kind of time have I traveled through time? It’s so easy for my wife to deliver it to my door and still not be able to touch it.
In so many time-travel novels, there is either a prince or a prince, but this time there is also a young landowner with a group of wives and concubines.
Is it because I have read too many novels like this, so God wants to give me a different experience?
But soon he and she thought of another possibility, that is, Cui Hongyu didn't want to marry her and was forced to do so.
After having this idea, he seemed indifferent. The so-called forceful melon is not sweet, so it is better to openly explain the situation to Cui Hongyu and let Cui Hongyu pursue his own happiness.
At this time, Cui Hongyu was actually not asleep either.
Her heart was very confused.
If it hadn't been for the accidents that happened three times before, I would at least have married into a well-to-do family, had enough food and clothing, raised a husband and raised children, and lived a peaceful life.
But now, it doesn't matter that Chen Xiaobei's family is poor. Today, Chen Ermao barged in and said a few words that left her with lingering fears.
Why does Chen Ermao dare to be so unscrupulous? Isn't it because he feels that his family can't count on him, and Chen Xiaobei is an orphan and has no one to rely on?
In a daze, she turned over and the bed made a creaking sound.
The noise alarmed Chen Xiaobei. He hesitated and asked softly, "Hongyu, aren't you asleep?"
Cui Hongyu hummed softly, "Husband, aren't you asleep too?"
"I can't sleep. I want to tell you the real situation of my family."
Chen Xiaobei sat up slowly, "I won't hide it from you. My family only has two acres of land in total, and we rent it to others, and we only give it two hundred kilograms of grain a year."
"This is my family's current source of income. These 200 kilograms of grain may not be enough for my sister and I."
"By the way, I've planted some rapeseed in the wasteland behind. If I'm lucky, I can sell some copper coins in the city to support my family."
"So you have to think clearly, if you stay at my house, you may not be able to have enough to eat in the future, and you will have to tighten your belt to live."
"Of course, I will go to the mountains to find some pheasants and the like, and I can exchange them for some money in the city, but I'm not sure how much I can get in a year."
Chen Xiaobei finished describing the situation at home in one breath, and his heart dropped.
The stone in his heart fell to the ground, but Cui Hongyu was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
I think that I, Cui Hongyu, am also a worthy woman from all over the country. I can do all kinds of sewing and field work at home and abroad. I can also do my father's medical skills.
But what's the use of having more.
Married to the impoverished Chen Xiaobei, she was despised by others and said that she was here to eat other people's food and starve them.
However, if he were not here with Chen Xiaobei, where could he go? Thinking about his father's joyful appearance when he left, Cui Hongyu knew that that home no longer belonged to him.
Although she was given a lot of silk and satin as a dowry, these were all saved by her hard work over the years while helping her father to practice medicine.
In other words, Dad kicked himself out and didn't care whether he lived or died.
So now she has no other choice but to stay here with Chen Xiaobei.
Thinking of this, she could only change her tone of prayer, "Husband, don't worry. When I came here, my parents gave me a lot of silk and satin. I will take it to the county town and sell it for food. Don't worry, I'm here."
I promise I won’t let you and Qiaoer go hungry.”
Listening to Cui Hongyu's words, Chen Xiaobei felt very uncomfortable.
I didn't want to drive her away, I just wanted to explain the family situation clearly to her, but I didn't expect that Cui Hongyu misunderstood.
He quickly changed her tone and said, "I don't want you to leave, I just want to tell you about the situation at home."
But his sudden turn made Cui Hongyu mistakenly think that Chen Xiaobei had heard that he was going to use his dowry in exchange for money to buy food, so he kept him.
Cui Hongyu felt infinite disappointment, and her favorability towards Chen Xiaobei plummeted.
Little did Chen Xiaobei know that he had unknowingly become the scumbag in Cui Hongyu's heart.
