The groom had to go out to socialize, and the bride did not just stay in the room and not come out.
At least, Shi Chuxue didn't enjoy such treatment.
As soon as he entered the house, a dark and thin girl about ten years old entered.
"Fourth…Fourth Sister-in-law, Mother wants you to go to the kitchen to help with the fire.”
Shi Chuxue smiled." Alright, I'll be right there."”
The little girl was in a daze. Her toes were exposed from her shoes. When the wind blew, her nose flowed. She was already so old. In the countryside, there were actually many people who were engaged and raised at home to be married. But this girl!
Shi Chuxue glanced at her hand. Her palm was slightly wide, and the back of her hand was covered with wounds of different sizes, as well as fine cracks. It was obvious that this child was always doing menial work at home.
"Is there no one at home to help cook?" Shi Chuxue asked in detail.
The little girl had been looking at her curiously with her big eyes. When she heard this question, she pouted." No, I was supposed to ask Seventh Sister to make the fire. However, she was still burning, and he didn't know where she had gone. Mother asked me to call you, saying that there is a lot of work at home, how can there be idle work in the house.”
At this point, the little girl quickly shut her mouth. It was obvious that there were more unpleasant words that this girl did not say.
Shi Chuxue didn't care about it and just walked forward.
In the kitchen, coarse porcelain bowls were arranged in rows on the chopping board. There was only a little oil in the bowls. Most of them were melons and vegetables. There were also rice steamed in soup and covered with one or two slices of meat.
A few women from the village were busy cutting vegetables and cooking. When they saw Shi Chuxue being called in by San Ya, they were all stunned. Then, he revealed a meaningful smile.
"Fourth Brother, do whatever you need to do in this house.”Someone said this and pointed at the vegetables not far away, indicating for her to wash them.
Shi Chuxue didn't seem to know what these people were laughing at, and she directly went up to pick up her sleeves and started to do it.
"Aunties, it's been hard on you today.”
Everyone was stunned once again. They did not understand why this legendary person who hanged himself before marriage was still acting like he did as the locals did and was extremely indifferent.
A tall and thin man acted as if he didn't know what was going on and started howling at the top of his lungs. "Fourth Brother, the bride doesn't do much work. Why, your fifth brother's family didn't come out? I heard that you two are close cousins.”
Uh, and they were even biological cousins getting married together. The identity of the original body was really true!
" Hehe…" Shi Chuxue only smiled sweetly and continued to wash the vegetables.
Those women didn't really care if she wanted to reply or not. They all raised their voices and said loudly.
"I also heard that your family…was originally going to marry your other sister. Why did it suddenly change to you?”
Uh, there was such a thing. No wonder the original body was unwilling to marry and hung herself to death. So it was because of the substitute marriage.
"Do you still need to say that you can't be happy in your maternal family? "I have a relative in your village. When your mother gave birth to you, a pig died in the house and the house was burned down. So, I thought that you were in trouble and came to collect debts, hehe…" The woman laughed awkwardly as she finished speaking.
This body was born with a constitution that brought disaster. No wonder even his own mother hated it. The person he married was really shameless. In the end, this body became the typical person that her in-laws did not like and her parents did not love. The Taoist priest would hang himself whenever there was a small matter.
It wasn't easy for her to have a healthy body now. She had to live well. In her previous life, because of her health, she had been cooped up in the countryside every day, watching her parents burn medicinal herbs and helping out a little. Other than going online, she would go to the mountain village for a walk and watch her life pass by. She did not want to live like that again.
Thinking of this, Shi Chuxue's furrowed brows relaxed. Actually, as long as she was healthy, it was really good. Those who had never lost their health would never know the feeling of living a life worse than death.
While she was working, a few more children came into the house. Through the conversations of the women around her, Shi Chuxue knew the general situation of the family she married.
The Xia family was considered a big family name in this village. However, this Xia Changwen couple was not very honest. The women's words seemed to imply that the wife of the Xia family, Mrs. Liu, was a snobbish person and was extremely shrewish.
Xia Changwen had five brothers in his generation. He was the third among them, and the villagers called him Xia Laosan. There were another four girls. Old Xia had a total of nine children, and all of them had families. This was a really lively family.
Moreover, in this village, only the Xia family had a slightly better life. However, the Xia couple did not show any filial piety to the old man. For such a big double happy event like today, the Xia couple did not invite the old Xia couple. In front of everyone, she only said that the two old men were sick…
It must be said that this Liu-shi was like her mother-in-law, she was really good at giving birth because she also gave birth to nine children. Otherwise, how would he dare to be so domineering in the Xia family? Nine children, five boys and four girls. He was comparable to Old Xia's generation.
In the early years, because Xia Hanzhi was an executioner in the yamen, his family's living conditions were actually not bad. However, ever since Xia Hanzhi had a sore, it was said that the family's situation had been getting worse.
The Xia family's eldest son and second son were all boys who had families and careers. They had both given birth to children and become fathers. Xia San married in the village. It was said that the son-in-law was extremely handsome. Before the marriage, the two of them had been entangled with each other. Xia Hanzhi was the fourth child, so after she married into the family, she was called the fourth child. The one who married them was Xia Laowu, the man who looked skinny but was said to be extremely lazy. That was Xia Liu, and there was a girl named Xia Qi. They were both eleven or twelve years old. The other two were Xia Ba and Xia Jiu. They were only three to five years old.
After understanding the situation, Shi Chuxue also finished washing the dishes.
It was indeed time-consuming to clean this large basin of dishes. By the time she rubbed her numb body and turned around, she realized that most of the people who came to the wedding had left.
He looked at the mess in the courtyard. Many bowls were upside down. The leftover soup and water spilled all over the table, but not a single bowl of vegetables was left. Not even a single leaf was left.
She frowned and turned around, preparing to scoop some food from the kitchen.
There was still a little meat left in the soup pot, mixed with bean soup. Shi Chuxue had just scooped it into the bowl and took two mouthfuls when Liu-shi rushed in.
She glanced at Shi Chuxue's bowl and rushed to the side of the pot.
