The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

After listening to a few words, Boss Lu waved his hand impatiently.

"The second son's wife has always been very honest. Erya was sold recently, so she must be in a bad mood. Just don't mess with her."

After saying that, he turned over and continued to sleep.

Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Lu Li slapped the quilt in anger. But she was afraid of waking him up and getting beaten, so she could only lie down helplessly.

At this time, Aunt Lu Er returned to the room and looked at Lu Lao Er who was sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes full of hatred.

In the middle of the night, it was Lu Laoer's turn to go up to the roof to sweep the snow, and Aunt Lu came over with a ladder and set it up.

Watching Lu Laoer climbing up step by step, just as he was about to reach the roof, Lu Laoer slipped and fell backwards.

He fell heavily to the ground with a "thump". The sound of broken bones was faintly heard, and then Lu Laoer held his leg and wailed.

When Aunt Lu saw his painful expression, she felt relieved.

It's no wonder she's been looking for opportunities to steal oil and polish ladders these days.

When Aunt Lu Er knew that Erya was beaten at the Li family, she begged Lu Lao Er more than once.

He said nonchalantly, "Which woman who becomes someone else's wife doesn't get beaten? It's okay as long as she's not beaten to death."

But the one who was beaten was her daughter, she was so young and so well-behaved.

She was almost beaten to death by those demons from the Li family, but her husband, Erya's biological father, actually said that it was okay as long as she wasn't beaten to death.

At that time, she began to hate Lu Laoer.

And now, she finally found her chance.

These days, she has been secretly shaving oil while cooking.

At night, he polished the soles of Lu Laoer's shoes until they were smooth, and then, away from people, he polished the top section of the ladder until it was smooth.

Finally got the chance.

In the middle of the night, Lu Laoer went up to the house to sweep the snow. When she took the ladder, she smeared oil on the polished section of the ladder.

After seeing Lu Lao Er fall and break his leg, Aunt Lu Er stood there and watched for a while in a good mood.

Did he also feel the pain of his daughter?

When she heard the noise coming from the house, Aunt Lu hurried forward, helped up Lu Laoer, who was holding his leg and crying in pain, and moved back to her own room step by step.

At this time, Old Man Lu had also come over and watched his second son crying out in pain.

He went up and touched it, then sighed and said that his leg was broken.

Old Man Lu found two boards and tied up Old Man Lu's legs, which was considered a simple treatment.

Lu Lao Er was afraid that he would become a cripple in the future, so he begged:

"Dad, please go find a doctor. I'm still so young. What will I do if I become lame?"

Old Man Lu looked at his second son and sighed.

"Second brother, where is the money left in the house to pay for your medical treatment?"

Only then did Lu Laoer remember that all the family’s money had been lost because of his third brother.

"Dad, I'm still young. I don't want to be a cripple. Please think of a way."

Lu Lao Er now regarded Old Man Lu as his only life-saving straw and kept begging him.

Old Man Lu looked at his second son, his face full of heartache but helplessness.

Lu Lao Er seemed to remember something at this time.

"Dad, we still have Sanya at home. You can sell her to treat my leg. My Erya was sold because of the third child. Now it's time to sell his daughter."

"Dad, you can't be partial."

Lu Lao San just walked to the door at this time, and he became anxious when he heard this.

"Dad, Sanya is the daughter Li Niang left me. She is still so young. I have already lost Li Niang, I cannot lose Sanya again."

"Second brother, Erya was promised to the Li family because the family needed to change the grain seeds. Don't talk nonsense."

"Why did you change the seeds? It's because of you that we lost all our money!"

Old Man Lu looked at the two brothers who had fallen out with each other and scratched his head in pain.

"Okay, stop arguing and let me think of something."

Lu Laoer glared at Lu Laosan who was leaving, thinking that his parents were partial to the third son and had been like this since he was a child.

After leaving, Lu Laosan returned to the house and looked at San Ya sleeping on the kang. He thought of Li Niang who had been abducted and sobbed and cried softly again.

At this time, in Old Man Lu’s house.

Old Mrs. Lu looked at the old man who was smoking non-stop. The thick smoke rings could not hide his sad face.

"Old man, can Lao Er's leg be healed?"

When Old Man Lu heard the old woman ask her, he puffed on his pipe in silence for a long time before he said:

"I feel my leg is broken and dislocated, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to heal in the future."

"If we go to the county, there's still a chance, but with the situation outside, we can't leave. Besides, we don't have the money to treat him now."

The two were silent for a while.

That night, many people in the Lu family suffered from insomnia.

At lunch the next day, because Lu Lao Er's leg was broken, each family started to bring their food back home to eat.

Because Lu Laoer was injured, Old Lady Lu specially left a bowl of thicker porridge for him.

Aunt Lu went over, took two bowls of porridge and walked back, deliberately walking slowly to see that everyone else had returned to the house.

Then he hid at the door of the house, quietly scooped a large spoonful of thick coarse grain porridge and hid it in the handkerchief.

After hiding the handkerchief, he returned to the house as if nothing had happened.

......

That night, Lu Qingqing had just come out of the space, and the room was as cold as an ice cellar.

I climbed onto the kang, but couldn't feel any warmth.

Just as she was thinking of adding some firewood to the stove, she heard a creaking sound of ice outside the house. The sound came from far away and approached, and Lu Qingqing felt inexplicably anxious.

I quickly walked to the window and saw a gust of wind blowing in the distance, and a layer of frost condensed wherever it passed.

Seeing that they were getting closer, Lu Qingqing grabbed the quilt on the kang and ran quickly towards Grandma Qin's room.

He pushed open the door and shook the two of them up.

"A cold front is coming, and everything outside is frozen. Hurry up and grab your blankets and mattress and follow me to the stove!"

Lu Qingqing shouted at the two of them while dragging the quilt and mattress to the kitchen.

There was an old log burning in the stove. I threw a large piece of straw on it to start the fire and watched the flames quickly rise.

Just take the iron pot down and quickly add durable firewood into it.

At this time, Grandma Qin and Qin Lang had also come running over wearing cotton coats and pulling quilts and mattresses.

Without bothering to explain further, he asked Grandma Qin to add more firewood to make the fire burn as brightly as possible.

The room next to the stove was smaller, so Qin Lang took out extra quilts and mattresses from the closet and quickly placed them next to the windows and door.

Lu Qingqing quickly built two bonfires, so that the three of them were surrounded by the bonfires.

Qin Lang was still spreading the mattress at the door when Lu Qingqing heard the creaking sound of ice getting closer.

Qin Lang was pulled back, and the three of them curled up and hid under the quilt.

There were three thick mattresses underneath, and three thick quilts stacked on top of each other, and only then did I feel that the trembling had stopped.

He added some more wheat straw, and the flames in front of him shot up high.

Looking up at the door, I saw that the cold wave had arrived and a layer of frost had condensed on the bedding in front of the door.

The cold wave spread through the house at an extremely fast speed. A layer of frost visibly formed on the walls, followed by the water tank at the door.

Seeing the frost coming towards them, Lu Qingqing felt like her heart was about to stop.

The fire in the bonfire was also suppressed a little at that moment. Just when Lu Qingqing was about to take the two of them into the space, Bingshuang bypassed the bonfire and continued to move forward.

Surprised and delighted, Lu Qingqing hurriedly threw handfuls of flammable hay into the fire. Seeing the flames grow stronger again, she finally felt a little relieved.
