Blissful Days After Widowhood

    In the middle of summer, there is no wind at all.

    From the moon to the mid-heaven, everything is silent. Thick clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight, leaving only a few dim stars. The night was dark like thick ink.

    The villagers in Batou Village stopped early, and only the whimpering of the wind and the intermittent barking of dogs could be heard in the silent fields.

    After a few muffled thunders, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

    A sneaky figure suddenly appeared in the field. He looked left and right, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he arrived at the only house in the east of the village where the lights were still on, and tiptoed over the dirt wall.

    At this time, in this family's house, Gu Yin was lying on the kang, staring at a bean lamp on the table.

    Just a few days ago, she was still an ordinary person living in modern times. After graduating from college, she inherited the family's time-honored porridge shop.

    The porridge shop was left by Grandpa Gu Yin, so it stands to reason that this craft should be passed on to his son and daughter-in-law first.

    Unfortunately, Gu Yin's parents died in a car accident the year she was in college.

    In order to fully raise her grandfather's wish, Gu Yin gave up life in the big city after graduating from university and returned to her hometown.

    My grandfather passed away not long afterward, and Gu Yin was alone and devoted herself to the operation of the porridge shop.

    In the past two years, the business of Gu's time-honored porridge shop has become more and more prosperous.

    Gu Yin opened several branches in one go, but she fainted during overtime when she was about to make a big show.

    After the darkness, she opened her eyes and wore it to the present era, becoming a farmer's daughter-in-law with the same name and surname.

    Gu Yin here is much worse than her.

      After the stepmother gave birth to two sons, the family was even more poor.

    Later, she was almost ten years old, and there was a locust plague in her hometown. Her father and stepmother fled here with several children.

    Although there is no disaster here, but the family's money is spent on the escape, and eating has become a problem.

    The stepmother could not tolerate her, so the pillow was handed two or three times, and Father Gu took the girl who was called Gu Daya to the side of the road and inserted a grass tag.

    On the same day, Gu Daya asked the Wu family from Batou Village to buy it back.

    From the ancestors to this generation, the Wu family in Batou Village are all farmers who shave food in the ground.

    But Wu Qingyi, the eldest son of the family, was condemned by a wandering warlock a few years ago, saying that it was a solitary wicked life that beat his wife.

    There are many people in the village who believe in this kind of Shinto Taoism, and Wang's eyes are also high, and those who look a little worse can't get into her eyes. Therefore, although Wu Qingyi was born tall and strong, with a handsome appearance, he did not say that he was married until he was fifteen years old.

    Country people all get married early, and it is not uncommon to be a parent at the age of fourteen or five. Seeing that if he dragged his son down any longer, he would have to meet the married little widow, and the wife of the Wu family, Mrs. Wang, was so anxious that two fire bubbles rose from her mouth.

    As soon as the Wu family couples together, they plan to use all their savings to go to Renyazi to buy a child bride for their son.

    Then I happened to meet Gu Daya with a grass sign on the side of the road.

      , but even the embarrassed description could not cover her beautiful facial features and clear eyes.

    The old man of the Gu family is also a good person. At that time, when he saw Wang's stop, he stepped forward to sell it, saying that his first wife who died was a maid from a big family, and his appearance was in them The countryside is notoriously good. Her own girl was brought up to be smart and clever. Although she looks worse when she is hungry now, the son of a dragon, a phoenix, and a mouse will burrow. This girl will definitely look bad in the future. No! And then quoted a very affordable price.

    The Wu family had saved up 12 taels of silver to buy a decent maid, but Gu Daya in front of her only cost half the price, how could this not make people excited?

    However, after scrutinizing Gu Daya carefully, Mrs. Wang still showed a dissatisfied appearance, saying that she looked so young, but her son was fifteen. How many years and how much food does it take to be a daughter-in-law? Although the girls in Renyazi are a little more expensive, there are many older, grown-up girls, and they can make a difference if you buy them!

    Because of this, Gu's father lowered the price again, and finally made the deal for four taels of silver, Gu Daya became a family member of Wu, and Gu's father left here with his wife and son the day he got the silver.

    Wang saved a lot of money and was in a good mood, and immediately took Gu Daya to change into new clothes. On the way, he met a poor scholar who wrote documents for people, and asked people to pay for her A new name was given, which is the origin of Gu Yin's slightly literary name.

    Afterwards, Gu Yin arrived at the Wu family.

    Wu Qingyi was so fashionable and didn't know her parents' plans, but only when she saw more people in the family knew that this little girl was her future daughter-in-law.

    The little girl said she was ten years old, but she looked like he was a generation behind him. Where does he want to? In addition, Wu Qingyi is also open-minded, and he has long thought that since he has conquered others, he will live alone for a lifetime. Anyway, his parents are young, and he can always add children to the family and continue the incense.

      Get married.

    Wang was full of joy, and only felt that the four taels of silver he spent were worth it. As far as Gu Yin's appearance is concerned, not to mention the eight villages in ten miles, there are few people in the county who are more beautiful than her.

    It was also in this year that the imperial court suddenly began to recruit strong men into the army to attack the rebels.

    Wang Shi, who was pregnant at the time, was in flames, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch his man and eldest son being recruited.

    Before parting, Wang insisted that Wu Dalang and Gu Yin worship heaven and earth.

    Wu Qingyi can also be regarded as self-restraint and observance. He did nothing to Gu Yin that night when he entered the bridal chamber, and told her apologetically: "Mother is still pregnant, and my father and I are leaving again. Now, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the blow, so I have to accept her. I'm going to have a lot of misfortune, and this is just an expedient measure to fulfill my mother's wish. If I have my life to come back, I will naturally treat you well for the rest of my life. If you don't come back, you can get married on your own in two years. My mother is fierce and soft-hearted, so she will naturally not embarrass you at that time."

    Wu Qing has been in school for a few years, and when he speaks, he speaks eloquently. After the sudden change at home, the original Gu Yin is even more dazed, and he doesn't understand the meaning of his words at all. He only remembered every word he said in his heart, and responded heavily.

    After half a year, Wang gave birth to a young son, named Wu An. Since then, the three of them have depended on each other for life. Although life was hard, in the end, Wang Shi and Gu Yin were both able to work, and they finally survived for five years.

    However, I didn't expect it, the news came from the previous one, saying that the army of the imperial court on the front line was completely wiped out by the rebels.

    Isn't the front line where Wu Dad and Wu Qingyi were recruited? !

    Although Wang Shi and Gu Yin were already psychologically prepared, they were so shocked that they fainted when they heard the news.

    Wang's body was in good shape, and she woke up after a while after fainting. Poor Gu Yin couldn't stand things at a young age, so she fell ill.

    A high fever broke out, and now Gu Yin passed through.

    After sorting out her thoughts, Gu Yin couldn't help sighing.

    As a modern person, I have read a lot of novels and TV dramas that travel through the air.

    But in general, even if you go through it, even if it is not a lady or a lady (that is the court marquis), you must have a younger brother/fiancé who is dedicated to the scientific examination (that is the imperial examination and farming).

    Well, she came across as a child bride, and also a little widow, but she has a little brother-in-law, but Wu An's child suffered great changes before he was born. Now he is five years old. I haven't read a day, and I'm still illiterate.

    The road ahead is very difficult!

    Gu Yin couldn't help but sigh again.

    At this moment, the door of the house creaked open, and a woman with a thorn and a cloth skirt came in.

    The woman looked less than forty, and her face was still somewhat youthful, but with long eyebrows and dangling eyes, and there were two ravine-like nasolabial lines on her face, which added to Regardless of the age of the young man, he still looks very difficult to get along with. It is the original adoptive mother and mother-in-law Wang.

    Wang threw the medicine bowl heavily on the table, and when she saw her, she scolded: "I heard you sigh dozens of times in the room in less than a stick of incense, I don't know. How much trouble our family has suffered!"

    Immediately, Mrs. Wang thought that her man and eldest son should be gone, didn’t he suffer a great disaster? But the head of her family didn't act like Gu Yin, and she became more and more impatient, her face became a bit more fierce, and she slapped the table in a vicious voice: "Get up and take medicine, why are you still waiting for me to serve you?"

    The original Gu Yin was very afraid of Wang.

    Although Wang's treatment of her is not as good as her own son, but she did not spar with her like her stepmother, it should not be the case.

    But Mrs Wang has a fierce appearance, a loud voice, and a sharp tongue. She can scold people for dozens of sentences without any heavy words. The text is done at the school.

    The timid original body was stunned for a moment.

    Of course, there is not only one person who is afraid of Wang's family. There is almost no one who can scold Wang's family in Batou Village.

    Gu Yin was not very afraid of her, but felt that what the eldest son of the Wu family had said was right, and Mrs. Wang was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Otherwise, I won't talk about it, I will say that after hearing the bad news, I have this disease, and I have been in bed for more than a month. Looking for a doctor and asking for medicine has hollowed out the last family of the Wu family. As long as Wang's heart is cruel, she should have cut off the medicine to save money and let the original body fend for itself, and it is not her turn to replace the original body to live this life.

    Wang became more and more angry when she saw her getting up slowly, the table clacked and the medicine bowl jumped twice.

      Yelling? Sister-in-law is sick."

    Wang was in a bad mood, and she was indifferent to her son, "You know it in the middle of the night? Your mother, I worked outside for a day, and I have to give it to others after working in the fields. Washing clothes at home, you have to make medicine for your sister-in-law when you come back, but you are busy until now? You also know that your sister-in-law is sick and can't get out of bed, so she will be a young master in the house with her feet up?"

    This is an injustice.

    In the past, Wang did the most work at home, Gu Yin was the second, and the young Wu was the third.

    Which child of this age is not playing around outside? Only Xiao Wu'an was more sensible than others since he was a child. He was diligent and capable. When he said that he was taking care of his sister-in-law, he would watch him every step of the way. In terms of properness and meticulousness, most adults couldn't compare to him.

    The job of decoction was originally told by Wu An that he came, but the others had little experience. Wang Shi was afraid that he would waste the medicinal materials of Jingui, and repeatedly emphasized that he had to wait for his return to decoct.

    However, knowing that her mother is in a bad mood, Wu An didn't argue, she just smiled and said, "I'll be sleepy when I wait for the evening meal, I'll go back to the kang and lie down. The mother should come back as soon as possible. Just call me, and I'll go to my mother for dinner."

    Listening to what he said, Wang's anger also went down halfway, the table didn't pat, and the eyes didn't fire anymore. First, he said that he would go to the hot meal, and then he said that Wu An would give it to Gu Yin. Feed the medicine, and then let Gu Yin not struggle to get down to the ground, don't get sick after getting better soon.

    As soon as she gave the order, Mrs Wang went out again.

    "My mother is like this, I still care about my sister-in-law." Xiao Wuan smiled at Gu Yin again, and sat on the edge of the counter with the medicine bowl in her hand, "sister-in-law, don't take it to heart, you will not be sick when you are sick. Very emotional."

      Can be flush with the desktop.

    Seeing him standing on tiptoe, holding the medicine bowl in his small hands and handing it to him, his dark little face is full of genuine concern, Gu Yin's heart softened, and he also smiled. First, he poured two or three mouthfuls of the decoction into his hand, and said, "I can save it."

    Children of this age are already snooze, and he is always busy taking care of himself during the day. Gu Yin sees that he can't bear to pull him onto the kang, and takes off his small shoes, let him sleep in his bed.

    Xiao Wu'an was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he still said, "Mother said that I'm getting older, so I'm not as tired of my sister-in-law as I used to be."

    Gu Yin covered him with the thin quilt, patted his chest with one hand, and coaxed softly: "Just squint for a while, and when mother is done, let her carry you back to the house go."

    The two were talking when they heard a sudden sound in the quiet night.

    "I'm afraid I miss another bowl." Wu An closed his eyes and muttered, then turned over and started snoring.

    Wang has a fiery temperament and is a little irritable at work.

    Gu Yin also smiled.

    Gu Yin's heart was beating wildly, and she faintly felt that the situation was wrong!
