It's not that she didn't see that Zhao Xue was guilty, but so what?If you know you are doing evil, it will be in vain if you don't know how to turn around.
Zhao Xiaoya lowered her head and changed the egg into a bowl without blinking.
When she walked out with the wooden tray, she happened to see Father Zhao coming in. The two father and daughter looked at each other. Father Zhao walked to the water tank in the corner without saying a word and rinsed his hands and feet with water.
Zhao Xiaoya put the noodles in the main room, walked out and called softly, "Dad, my sister said that my mother had to go to the city for something and would come back later. The noodles are ready, and they were made by my sister. Dad, come over quickly and eat them while they are hot."
Father Zhao was a little surprised to hear that it was Zhao Xue who was cooking. He knew better than anyone that Zhao Xue had nothing to do with the spring water. There was no daughter in these ten miles and eight villages who raised her daughter as carefully as the Zhao family. As Liu Caifeng said, if a daughter looks good and has great fortune in the future, she must be pampered and pampered.
Father Zhao was naturally happy to have such a beautiful daughter, but he saw that the older Zhao Xue got, the better she looked, but his temperament followed that of Liu Caifeng, and he was selfish and cold at heart. He couldn't help but sigh. Even if he was lucky enough to marry into a good family, he would still have to endure hardships.
"Come in and eat when your mother isn't here." Father Zhao said as he looked at Zhao Xiaoya who was about to walk out after taking the bowl.
Zhao Xiaoya looked at Zhao Xue who was silent.
Only then did Zhao Xue react and said with a smile: "Yes! Mom is not here, Xiaoya, sit down quickly."
In the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaoya was usually not allowed to serve at the table. Liu Caifeng meant that she looked poor and disgusted by looking at her.It's not like Father Zhao had never quarreled with Liu Caifeng about this. In the end, Zhao Xiaoya didn't want to make things difficult for Father Zhao, so she stayed in the kitchen as a good person.
"Don't be stunned, eat quickly." Father Zhao urged, waving the chopsticks in his hand.
Zhao Xiaoya sat down obediently and ate all the noodles in the Haiwan bowl while Zhao Xue's gaze drifted towards her from time to time. She held her somewhat full belly and thought sarcastically that it was rare that she could have a full meal today.
Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Xiaoya stroking her belly with a hint of sarcasm. She was indeed poor as her mother said, but she ate the bowl of noodles as if she was reincarnated by a starving ghost. She stuffed it all into her stomach in just a few bites.
Seeing that Zhao Xue's bowl of noodles was still half full, Zhao Xiaoya stood up and went to the kitchen to light the fire.
When she came back, Zhao Xue had already finished eating. It seemed that she was in a good mood today and had a great appetite.
Zhao Xiaoya neatly cleared the table and took the dishes and chopsticks to the water tank by the wall of the yard to wash them clean.
Zhao Xue felt a little dizzy, so she gently rubbed her temples to cheer up, and called Zhao Xiaoya in the yard, "Xiaoya, don't be busy, put the bowl aside for now, I'll talk to you."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Xiaoya raised her voice and said to the main room: "It's just a few bowls. It will be ready soon. The water will be boiled later. I will carry it into the room to wash my sister."
Zhao Xiaoya's good spirit made Zhao Xue puzzled, but her eyes were too heavy-eyed and she didn't think carefully, "I'll talk to you in your room later." She didn't forget that she had to make sure that Zhao Xiaoya slept to death in the room.
"Okay." Zhao Xiaoya responded obediently.
Zhao Xue held her head, feeling dizzy, so she braced herself to wait for Zhao Xiaoya.
When Zhao Xiaoya finished her work and walked back to the main room, she saw that Mr. Zhao's head was nodding and he was drowsy.
Zhao Xiaoya said softly: "Dad, when you are tired, go to the room and lie down for a while. I will also carry a bucket of hot water into your room later."
Father Zhao did not refuse when he heard this. He wanted to do more carpentry tonight and make money by setting up a stall in the city next time, but the work in the fields must have been too tiring, so he was really tired. He thought that since Liu Caifeng was not here, he could be lazy, so he went back to the house to rest.
When Zhao Xiaoya arrived at the stove, she did not rush to fetch water. Instead, she stood in front of the stove and waited. It was not until she heard the sound of Father Zhao returning to the room that she slowly returned to the main room.
Zhao Xue leaned on the case with one hand to support her head and closed her eyes.
She knew that this was the effect of drugs. In her previous life, she had unknowingly taken drugged food and fell into a coma until dawn before being awakened by the noise outside.
For Zhao Xiaoya, that day was a never-ending nightmare.
When she was woken up, there was a man lying next to her, the fool Li Hu.
She was so frightened that she didn't know how to react. She could only let Liu Caifeng confuse right and wrong, causing her reputation to be completely lost. She cried and beat her up in front of the villagers, and finally decided to get married under the eyes of everyone pointing.
When she came to her senses and wanted to defend herself, Liu Caifeng beat her severely again for being unfilial and losing her virginity.
Since she "lost her virginity", she has been beaten even more severely, and no villager has said a word for her... She, Zhao Xiaoya, is a woman who has lost her virginity, lost her virginity, and is immodest.
Zhao Xiaoya reached out and touched Zhao Xue's smooth face. She was indeed a beautiful girl, but it was a pity that her heart was dark...
She pursed her lips, not allowing herself to regret it, and bent down to carry Zhao Xue behind her back.
Although she looks thin, she has been working since she was a child and her strength is naturally not as strong as that of other girls. Carrying Zhao Xue, who is taller than her, does not feel difficult.
She carried Zhao Xue to her room, placed her on the wooden bed, and looked down at Zhao Xue, who was sleeping motionless.
Finally, she sighed softly and murmured: "Go to sleep." It was as if she was saying to Zhao Xue and to herself: "When the sun comes up, everything will be different."
She turned around and went out without looking back, without locking the door. She hugged her legs and chose a dark corner in the kitchen to sit down.
The sky was already dark and the surroundings were silent, but she was no longer sleepy. The later it got, the clearer her mind became.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but there was a sound coming from the small courtyard outside. She quickly shrank down, not daring to take a breath.
The person who entered the courtyard was Liu Caifeng, followed by a woman and a short, fat man.
"Sister-in-law of the Li family, that girl must have slept to death now." Liu Caifeng lowered her voice and said to the woman behind her: "Her room is the one next to the kitchen. Sister-in-law, be careful and follow me. Let's take Huzi in first."
Aunt Li nodded, and when Liu Caifeng turned her back, her eyes changed, with disdain that could not be concealed.
He also said that he was born in the city, knew a few Chinese characters, and had seen big scenes, but look what he was doing?For the sake of silver, he doesn't even give up his daughter's reputation. Is this still a human being?
Although she was disdainful in her heart, she kept her mouth tightly closed. After all, she knew very well that if Liu Caifeng hadn't been vicious enough, her stupid son and the only child of the Li family would have had a hard time finding a wife in this life.
"Huzi." Aunt Li thought of her precious son, and immediately turned around and wiped the saliva from Li Hu's mouth with a handkerchief, and coaxed softly: "You will go in obediently later and sleep in this room late. Don't be afraid, mother is waiting outside."
"No." Li Hu looked at the dark room and shook his head violently, "I want to go home, I don't want to sleep here."
"Be good, Hu Zi." Aunt Li was afraid that he would wake anyone, so she quickly comforted him and took out a sweet fruit. "Here, take this and be obedient. If you go to bed, my mother will buy you sweets tomorrow."
Li Hu's eyes lit up, "I want a lot of candy."
"Okay, a lot of candies." Aunt Li agreed, "Not only will Mom give Huzi a lot of candies this time, but she will also find Huzi a wife to play with you."
Li Hu didn't understand what a daughter-in-law was, but when he heard that he had sweets to eat and things to do, he immediately grinned with joy.
Liu Caifeng looked at the drooling Li Hu and felt disgusted. Thinking that Zhao Xiaoya was going to spend her life with this fool, she felt inexplicably happy again. She quickly urged, "It's getting late. Let's get someone in quickly. We'll be busy tomorrow morning."
"I know." Aunt Li led Li Hu and followed Liu Caifeng through the door.
Afraid of waking up the person on the bed, Liu Caifeng did not dare to light the lamp and pointed in the direction of the bed.
Although Li Hu was stupid, he also knew that if he wanted to sleep, he had to lie on the bed. Although the bed was very hard, he was also tired at this time, and he fell asleep soon after lying down.
Aunt Li and Liu Caifeng saw her and then left the room with relief.
"Sister-in-law, you are tired too. Go and have a rest. We will come back at dawn."
Aunt Li nodded, followed Liu Caifeng's arrangement, and stayed in the main room temporarily.
Zhao Xiaoya held her breath and hid in the kitchen. She didn't relax until the surroundings were quiet again. She leaned on the firewood in the corner and looked thoughtfully at the moon and stars outside the window. It turned out that she was calculated like this in her previous life.
She held the animal tooth bracelet in her hand and slowly waited for the time to pass.
Aunt Li, who was sleeping in the main room, had something on her mind and didn't sleep peacefully. She couldn't wait to get up when the rooster crowed.
It was still dark outside, so she cautiously walked out of the yard.
