Chapter 78: Elder Sister
What Jin Xiaodie needs now is just a sleep. She gratefully looks at her elder sister: “Sister, thank you today.”
“Hi, we are sisters. Don’t treat me like a stranger.” With a hearty smile, Jin Xiaoyan leads her to the guest room on the east: “You can stay here these days. If you need anything, just tell me.”
Jin Xiaodie nods.
“Well, go to bed first.” Jin Xiaoyan says and leaves. But she feels something is forgotten halfway. She claps her head and says, “how silly I am! My sister has nothing to wear tomorrow with her own tatters.”
Thinking about this, she takes her best clothes and quickly walks back to Jian Xaodie’s room.
But when she walks into the room, she finds Jin Xiaodie take off her blouse. The white lining inside is cut and the skin is purple.
It is clearly that Jin Xiaodie is beaten by someone.
Jin Xiaoyan’s face suddenly changes. She grabs Jin Xiaodie’s arm and gets angry: “who beat you like this?”
Thinking of Jin Xiaodie’s words, she immediately asks, “Did Jiang Qingshou beat you? How cruel he is! He beat you like this!”
Jin Xiaodie hurriedly takes on her clothes, trying to cover her injury, and looks flustered: “I’m OK. The injury is caused by an accidental fall.”
She struggles hard and a letter suddenly comes out from her sleeve and lands on Jin Xiaoyan’s chest. Jin Xiaoyan catches it, and finds two big words on the letter.
“Divorce paper!”
How could it be a divorce paper! How could Jiang Qingshou be so inhuman!
Jin Xiaoyan is extremely angry with her face looking bad: “He beats you up, and even divorces you. You have been married to him for so many years. I’m going to ask him, how shameless he is!”
Then she rushes out of the door.
Jin Xiaodie’s tears burst out. She hugs Jin Xiaoyan and sobs, “I beg you, my sister. Please don’t go to find Jiang Qingshou, don’t go…”
The sound of sobbing turns into crying. Jin Xiaodie almost breaks down in tears, just holding her elder sister tightly.
Jin Xiaoyan is angry and distressed. She turns back to hug Jin Xiaodie and asks in an excited voice, “I must find the brute. He treats you like this, how could I forgive him?”
She pulls Jin Xiaodie a little and says solemnly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you be bullied in vain
“Sister, elder sister!” Seeing her sister is going out again, Jin Xiaodie stops her with tears running, and pleads: “Sister, I know you are good to me, but I please you don’t hash up the matter, I, I… ”
Remembering the past, Jin Xiaodie extremely regrets, but she feels ashamed to explain the reason. She is just in great depression.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
What’s going on?
Seeing her sister pleading sadly, Jin Xiaoyan could only sigh and help her to the bed: “well, I’m not going.”
On the morning of the next day, Jin Xiaodie is awakened by an attractive fragrance. She wanders what such dripping fragrance is.
She puts on the clothes that Jin Xiaoyan sent yesterday, although they are the best clothes of her sister, she still feels the clothes rough on her body. She rubs the clothes casually, and suddenly feels hungry.
The fragrance in the air is more attractive.
Jin Xiaodie gives up rubbing clothes and walks out quickly.
The kitchen of the farmhouse is generally in the downwind, in order to let the lampblack go with the wind. Jin Xiaodie easily finds the right place, and walks in.
She finds Jin Xiaoyan is lifting the lid of the pot. There is milky broth in a big dark iron pot, and a complete old hen is being stewed in the boiling soup.
Seeing the hen Jin Xiaodie swallows a mouthful of saliva, and she smiles and asks: “Sister, you get up so early.”
“Jin Xiaoyan turns around and covers the iron pot with a smile.” It’s not early now. Go and have a wash, later we will get ready to eat.”
Jin Xiaoyan is not rich, so as a farmer’s woman, she lives a frugal life. Not to mention cooking chicken, in ordinary days she never eats up a bit of meat in one meal. But this time, she cooks the whole chicken.
It’s all for Jin Xiaodie. Her sister really treats her well!
Jin Xiaodie feels warm in her heart. She used to treat her sister badly, and she must treat her well in the future.
Thinking of this, Jin Xiaodie walks to the yard and simply washes her face with water. In ordinary days, she must dislike the bad conditions of Jin Xiaoyan’s family, but now she thinks that the well water is the best beauty product.
After Jin Xiaodie finishes washing, Jin Xiaoyan also finishes cooking breakfast.
As soon as she enters the room, she sees her elder sister bend over to put the bowl.
Hearing the footsteps, Jin Xiaoyan turns around and says, “Hurry up, have a meal.”
When Jin Xiaoyan turns around, Jin Xiaodie sees clearly the food behind her sister.
There are only two dishes of vegetables, without any oil, which looks nasty. The only good thing is the porridge besides, at least it looks good.
Jin Xiaodie knows clearly that how painful it would be to eat the rice.
Strange! How about the chicken soup? How about the old hen and the bacon hanging on the beam?
Why hasn’t she seen one?
Jin Xiaoyan notices that Jin Xiaodie’s face looks strange and asks in doubt, “what’s the matter?”
Jin Xiaodie stops for a while and whispers, “Sister, if we don’t eat the chicken soup now, it will be cold.”
“Chicken soup, it won’t be cold. I’ve been stewing it on a low fire, waiting for Xue to come back to enjoy it.” Jin Xiaoyan’s heart treasure is coming home, she can’t stop smiling.
The old hen was originally stewed for her son Zheng Xue, and the bacon is also prepared for him. Jin Xiaodie has been moved for a long time, but she finally finds she is only amorous.
She feels depressed in heart, and silently takes a bowl of porridge to drink. Sure enough, the porridge is astringent and rough, and it is uncomfortable to eat.
After breakfast, Jin Xiaoyan is busy again. How can she make only two meat dishes if her dear son comes back? It is a good season now, the vegetables and fruits on the farm are all ripe. She can make a great deal with them.
She goes to the farm with a basket.
Jin Xiaodie hurries to follow her sister. She is clear that whether the family of Jin Xiaoyan is rich or not, if she eats and drinks for nothing, she will be boring after long.
When they arrive at the vegetable farm, Jin Xiaoyan says, “Go pick some cucumbers, sister. I can dig vegetables with my hoe.”
After that, he hands Jin Xiaodie a sackcloth package.
Jin Xiaodie agrees, and takes the package to pick up the cucumber honestly.
