Chapter 73:

On the day of marriage, after noon, apart from the bridegroom Yang Xuezhang, the three brothers of the Yang family stood at the gate of the yard to greet the guests who came to have a drink. The wedding banquet begins in the evening after the bride and groom have paid their respects to heaven and earth, but everyone likes to join in the fun, so it comes very early.
Lin Qingwan had a big belly, so she didn't embarrass herself. After eating at noon, I slept in the house for a while, and then went out towards the evening.
As soon as I went out and found a lot of people in the yard, they all gathered together and talked with joy. Wedding banquets in the countryside are not particular, tables, chairs and benches are all placed in the yard, and those who come to have a wedding wine sit with whomever they want.
Yang Tiezhu was greeting the guests who came to have a wedding wine, and when he saw his wife coming out, he hurriedly pulled away the people around and walked over.
"Daughter-in-law, are you awake?"
Lin Qingwan nodded, feeling a little unclear about the situation. Yang Tiezhu knew that his daughter-in-law was dumbfounded, and since she became pregnant, her daughter-in-law has not been happy, but is very lethargic.
He looked at the noisy crowd, "Daughter-in-law, or I will find you a quiet place to sit, now there are more people waiting for a while, so as not to hit you."
Lin Qingwan nodded, turned around and locked the door of her house.
Yang Tiezhu glanced around the yard and saw Nie Ertang's wife sitting at the very side table. She helped Lin Qingwan and walked over.
"Second sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law is inconvenient, I will let her sit with you, and you can help me watch."
Nie Ertang's sister-in-law smiled and pulled Lin Qingwan over and let her sit next to her.
"Well, my sister-in-law will help you watch, Brother Tie Zhu, please go to work quickly."
Yang Tiezhu just walked away with confidence.
On this table sat Nie Er Tang's wife, and two unfamiliar young daughters. Lin Qingwan knew that Elder Yang Er's family would be here today, no matter how unharmonious they usually are, they still have to cheer each other out when doing big weddings.
This sister-in-law Nie Ertang is usually a lively person. When she married Yang Tiezhu last time, she acted as a Xi Niang, but today she didn't see her come out to greet her.
After thinking about it, Lin Qingwan understood that the He family had a conflict with Nie Ertang’s mother-in-law, Li family. The last time he greeted Yang Tiezhu was because of Yang’s face. Today, it is Yang Xuezhang’s marriage. Usually, he doesn’t get hot at all. Only those who are full will take the initiative to get affected.
Sister-in-law Nie Ertang leisurely ate the fried melon seeds placed on the table, while chatting with Lin Qingwan, and chatting with other young wives on the table from time to time. Talking to Lin Qingwan, that is to say, on topics such as pregnant women, after all others have had two children, they still have some experience. Lin Qingwan also listened carefully to Nie Ertang's wife.
After a while, a series of firecrackers sounded at the door, and some people who liked to join in the fun rushed to the door.
When Lin Qingwan came with a big belly, she didn't have the curiosity that likes to join in the fun, so she sat there without moving. Nie Er Tang's sister-in-law did not move either, just sitting here watching the excitement.
Yang Xuezhang used his family's bullock cart to marry his bride, with red cloth wrapped around it. Most of the ox carts used to welcome relatives in Luoxia Village are not shabby at this time.
Of course, compared to when Yang Tiezhu married Lin Qingwan, the scene was much smaller.
The crowd flocked to the main room with a couple of newlyweds, there was busy worshipping heaven and earth, and here the yard was busy starting to serve food. Sister Yang also came back today. It is estimated that the He family gave her a letter. At this time, she was busy with the second sister of the Wang family. Yao family seemed to be in charge of cooking in the stove.
Lin Qingwan came to a few people at this table. She was not very familiar with these people, so she could only bow her head and be ashamed, while sister-in-law Nie greeted a few women.
When I was bored, I heard Nie Ertang’s wife say, "Oh, Aunt Tian is here too, sit down. Who is this? Oh, it’s Cuilan. It’s been a long time since I saw it. I almost recognized it at first sight. Can't come out."
Lin Qingwan raised her head and glanced at it. She couldn't say that she was sensitive, because she had a fight with her own man just a few days ago because of this Tian Cuilan, and she was very acquainted with this name.
I saw a forty or fifty-year-old aunt, pulling a cowering young woman to sit down at the table. The big aunt's round face, small eyes and thin lips, looked like a countrywoman. The married young woman next to her could not see her eyebrows clearly and kept her head down without speaking.
Aunt Tian smiled at Nie Ertang's wife, "Daughter-in-law, Yang Wei, you also know that Cuilan has been bored at home every day since she returned home. I said she was brought out by the excitement today."
Nie's sister-in-law’s man is called Yang Wei, who ranks second in Yang'er’s home. In his free time except for farming, he carries a cargo load and sells gadgets to add some income to the family. In Luoxia Village, the elders who have no relatives call the women of the younger generation, and they are all called by their husbands. For example, Nie Ertang's wife is Yang Wei's wife, while Lin Qingwan is Tie Zhu's wife.
Tian Cuilan raised her head and smiled weakly at the women on the table. Just about to lower her head, she saw Lin Qingwan sitting there.
Because today is a happy event, Lin Qingwan also dressed very festive. A water-red skirt, with a bean-green half-arm skirt. Coupled with the ruddy complexion since pregnancy, the complexion is white, the end is bright and beautiful. Although she was pregnant with a bulging belly, her clothes were well-matched and loose. At first glance, she didn't look like a body woman.
Although the villagers in Luoxia Village do not live a wealthy life, they all pay attention to it. On weekdays, if there is a happy event or relatives, they will prepare a set of decent clothes to wear. Lin Qingwan wears this way and is not conspicuous in the crowd.
However, Tian Cuilan was stunned. For a while, her eyes became so straight that she couldn't even lower her head.
Nie Ertang’s sister-in-law swept her eyes here, secretly screaming, how could she forget Tian Cuilan's relationship with Tie Zhu before? But other people had already sat there and couldn't let people go, so she had to talk to the person next to her again, trying to divert the conversation.
However, it is not only Nie Ertang's wife who knows the relationship between Tian Jia Cuilan and Yang Tiezhu, but also the few daughters-in-law sitting next to her. Seeing Tian Cuilan's eyes looking at Lin Qingwan, everyone's eyes are strange.
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the table was strange and powerful.
It wasn't until Tian Cuilan raised her head that Lin Qingwan saw her looks clearly.
The last time things happened suddenly, when she saw the look between Yang Tiezhu and Tian Cuilan, she just became angry without looking carefully. When I saw it today, I realized that Tian Cuilan was actually not bad, with a melon seed face and white skin, but her face was a little sallow, which made her look a lot darker. And the behavior is timid and weak, like a angry little wife.
After two glances, Lin Qingwan was not focusing on Tian Cuilan. She had calmed down a long time ago. At that time, she thought about her man like that only when her head got into the paste. Secondly, Yang Tiezhu was so unfamiliar with her. She felt that this woman was nothing to be afraid of.
Lin Qingwan felt nothing, but Tian Cuilan didn't think so. She looked at Lin Qingwan, and kept thinking that this was her brother Tie Zhu’s daughter-in-law, she looked really good... she thought of herself and Yang Tiezhu’s childhood, and thought of her own bumpy fate, tears came out in a moment Up.
Aunt Tian saw that something was wrong, especially her daughter's tears were about to come out. Quickly stood up, pulled Tian Cuilan up, and smiled dryly.
"Sit down first, let's go see where my old man is." After speaking, she dragged Tian Cuilan away.
Everyone knows why Aunt Tian made an excuse to leave, and did not force others to sit here. After Aunt Tian and the two left, everyone started talking.
Of course, the master Lin Qingwan is still sitting here, and I definitely can't talk about Tian Cuilan and Yang Tiezhu's marriage back then. They were talking about what happened to Tian Cuilan...
Lin Qingwan knew that Tian Cuilan had obviously married to the outer village, and why did she meet her twice in the village in a few days?
The thing is like this-
It turns out that after Yang Tiezhu left the army, Aunt Tian’s family had to come to leave her relatives. Tian Cuilan also quit. She cried at home and said that she would wait for Brother Tie Zhu to return.
Seeing her resolute attitude, the people of the Tian family told her to let her go. After all, Tian Cuilan was not too big, one year younger than Yang Tiezhu, only fourteen.
When Tian Cuilan was fifteen after the New Year, the family said to go to the Yang family to retire, and then tell her about a marriage, Tian Cuilan still quit. No way, Aunt Tian ignored Tian Cuilan's crying and asked her man to retire from the Yang family. After retiring, she began to talk to Tian Cuilan. Said that the target of the marriage was a young man in the outer village, and the family conditions were much better than that of the Yang family at that time, so the marriage was settled.
Tian Cuilan didn't agree with how to make trouble at home, so she could only marry outside the village with tears.
Later, after living well with his own man, he slowly forgot Yang Tiezhu.
Who knows that this woman's life deserves to be miserable, Tian Cuilan has not been pregnant with a baby in the past few years after marrying, the family she married is in a hurry. The family is also a kind person, and didn't say anything, but spent money to send the young couple to the town and county to find a doctor to see what was going on.
From this point of view, things are not easy to deal with, it turned out to be the woman's problem.
No matter how kind other people's family is, they can't just watch their son endure. The villagers did not have the habit of marrying concubines, so they had no choice but to decide to put Tian Cuilan off.
At that time, Tian's family had come to make trouble several times, but no matter how much trouble you made, they couldn't marry a hen who didn't lay eggs and put it in the house. Let your son be the last. Aunt Tian splashed her down and begged and begged, and finally the family agreed. Tian Cuilan keeps going, and then hires a flat wife to return. The family has two big ends.
Tian Cuilan moved out of her and her man's house on the day that his wife married, and moved into her sister-in-law's house. What her mother-in-law said was right. There were not many houses in the house, and they were still waiting to hug their grandson. The white point is that you can’t give birth anyway, so you don’t have to move a place for others so that others can give birth.
That Ping wife was also the daughter of a poor family, and the family was very poor. In order to collect money for her brother to marry a daughter-in-law, Ping's father cruelly married her daughter over for the expensive gift money. The flat wife's belly was also upbeat, and she became pregnant soon after she got married.
At this time, Tian Cuilan's mother-in-law liked it badly, and she treated her flat wife even better. Comparing the two, Tian Cuilan is even worse.
The Ping wife was a little timid at first, after all, she came in from behind. But since she had a body, her parents-in-law and men couldn't wait to hold her in their palms, and gradually became more courageous, and Tian Cuilan became more unpleasant.
No one wants to be a flat wife. They say they are flat wives. In fact, they don't have any status, at least they don't have a marriage certificate and are not listed in the government. Although wine was placed in the village, the villagers also admitted that she was the daughter-in-law of XX, but on the side of the bed, how could anyone snoring?
The old couple of the Tian family wanted to make a difference, thinking that as long as their daughters were not divorced, they could live on. How can I think that it can only be a situation from the time the Ping Wife enters the door, and I will die if you die. Of course, it is not so exaggerated, that is, the problem of the east wind pressing the west wind and the west wind pressing the east wind. Of course, if the oppressed party can bear it, life can still survive.
This Ping wife disliked Tian Cuilan, so she persuaded her man and mother-in-law to use Tian Cuilan as a cow.
The country folks didn't have much money in the first place, and this daughter-in-law could not lay eggs. One day and two days are okay. After a long time, even the author Tian Cui has something to say: Granny Lan also looked very uncomfortable with her and felt that she was wasting the food at home. After hearing the instigation of the Ping wife, she threw all the work at home to Tian Cuilan.
Tian Cuilan has a hard life, and while busy with family affairs, she has to wait for the physically fit wife. That Ping wife is also very mindful, coaxing the man towards herself, and Tian Cuilan's footwashing water is usually used by the couple.
Later, the flat wife came to the ground and gave birth to a boy, her status in the family was even higher, and Tian Cuilan's status in the family was even worse, she became a free-money mother and servant.
If you just do physical work and you are tired, the key is that your heart is also tortured. The flat wife was smiling on the surface, and she always ridiculed Tian Cuilan, saying that she would not lay eggs, and showing off how much energy the man put on her last night...
In the long run, the individual can't stand it. Tian Cuilan is exhausted physically and mentally. She has tears all the year round and she is skinny and skinny. After several years of stumbling and stumbling, the Tian family can't stand it anymore. Her daughter was tossed in such an inhuman form, so she came to ask for a letter of resignation and brought Tian Cuilan back home.
Tian Cuilan was only brought home last winter. Not long after Yang Tiezhu was injured, Aunt Tian hid Tian Cuilan at home because she was afraid that the villagers were worthless.
Until the spring of this year, the villagers gradually heard about Tian Cuilan's affairs, and they all started talking about it, and then Tian Cuilan broke the jar and brought Tian Cuilan out.
