Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 152 The Great Room
"Eat, eat, eat, I know how to eat all day long. The pigs I raise are not that good at eating! A young girl who was married more than ten years ago, still lives in her mother's house and eats at her mother's house. What is this? Go and see, who The house is like yours, and the girl has to be brought back to make offerings after going out?"

After Gu Qiang finished his meal, he had just washed the pots and bowls and returned to the house. When he walked to the door, he heard his sister-in-law's deliberately raised voice from inside.

He didn’t know until he went to his in-law’s house to help sell tofu. In the past, the family had discussed that the work should be handed over to his sister-in-law’s natal brothers. However, due to the disaster at home, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were worried about their grandson’s studies, so they left the work to him eccentrically. Well, since their family came here, my sister-in-law has been a little unhappy.

"Wang Dahua, my parents are still here, and it's not your turn to be the master of the house. Why, I can't stay in my own house anymore? I can stay as long as I want!"

Xiao Zhang was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Your family? Your family is in Guzhuang, and the water that was thrown by the married daughter, have you seen how many married daughters returned to live with their natal family, how shameless?"

Wang Dahua sneered, "At first I treated you as guests,"

Zhang's parents looked at their daughter and daughter-in-law, and they were at a loss for a while. The daughter-in-law in the family has been making a lot of noise these few days. Always hand it over to the son and the daughter-in-law, so naturally I don’t want to embarrass the daughter-in-law, so I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if I don’t know.

Both of them regretted it in private.

In fact, they don't need to call their daughter home when they feel sorry for their daughter. They just give the daughter some of the savings they have saved, so that she won't delay her grandson's study. Why bother?The house is restless and life is difficult.

The old couple is getting old, and now they are breaking lawsuits for the younger generation every day, which makes them upset, and they can't help but regret it to death.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, got up and went back to the room and slammed the door, her face turned pale as soon as she got back.

In fact, why is she not guilty?In the past few days, she often felt that she was dependent on others. Her brother was kind to her, and the room that he promised to share with her and Gu Qiang was cleaned up early and given to her.But when I was in my natal family, I felt that I lived in a very comfortable house and a spacious room, but now I feel aggrieved no matter how I look at it.

"Forget it, no matter what, it's better than serving the paralyzed old man and old lady at home." Xiao Zhang muttered to herself, "For my son, it's for my son."

In order for their son to be able to study in a down-to-earth manner, it is nothing for them to be wronged as parents.

For several days, Xiao Zhang held her breath and did not quarrel with her sister-in-law again.

Xiao Zhang has been a little irritable recently. She is usually a smart person. Now she vaguely realizes that in this family, her sister-in-law is more effective than her in speaking.

After a few days, she just pretended not to hear her sister-in-law's harsh words, and Gu Qiang also worked harder, getting up early and busy every day with great discernment.

Sure enough, it didn't take long, and her sister-in-law was also annoyed, she only ran into a few words when she bumped into her, and she no longer deliberately found fault, the Zhang family just went on without embarrassment or embarrassment.

Gu Qiang became more and more silent.

The wind is getting colder every day, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Mrs. Zhang rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and found out her own single clothes, a little worried: "How much money do you have in your hand?"

"There is none, there is no place to buy leather jackets now, let alone cotton clothes."

Gu Qiang sighed: "Change my thick jacket and give it to Shiro to wear."

Not long ago, their family had pawned their winter clothes again. It was already pawned once in spring, but the money was never enough.

It's not just them, many people in the village are like this.

As a result, when it was cold, these things happened, and they wanted to redeem the clothes but had no money, and the single clothes were pawned out, but the money could not be pawned.

"Hold on to my son first."

Gu Qiang thinks that his clothes are so thin that it is nothing. He thinks that he is strong and strong. If he does more work every day, he will not be cold, and his son is more important.

Xiao Zhang's eyes were red, "... why don't you sell your son's books first, and wait until next year..."

They originally had money in their hands, but they sent their son to study in an academy in the county some time ago. They were afraid that the child would be looked down upon, so no matter how frugal they were, they had to buy him decent clothes, and more importantly, books and pens and ink.

The money is not spent at all, and the things are bought at the cheapest, but in the end they are still completely spent.

Gu Qiang shook his head.

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang shook her head and sighed, "No...I'll ask my mother."

Gu Qiang's body trembled slightly, and a bit of pain appeared on his face unconsciously.

The couple were worrying when they heard someone shouting outside: "Brother Gu, is Sister-in-law Zhang there? I'm Tiesheng."

The two were startled, and hurriedly got up and went out. When they went out, they saw two brothers, Tie Sheng and Tie Zhu, standing at the gate of the courtyard with a burden.

Xiao Zhang's mother and two sister-in-laws all went out to see.

"Ni, is this?"

Xiao Zhang's mother asked in surprise.

Wang Tiesheng smiled foolishly: "I'm from Gu Zhuang. I came to work in Tong Village, and I happened to be on the way. Honest Uncle asked me to bring something for you, Brother Gu."

While talking, the brothers of the Wang family stuffed things to Gu Qiang and Mrs. Zhang, said hello and left.

After the two brothers left, Mrs. Zhang recovered from her daze and remembered that she should have a cup of tea.

Turning around, Mrs. Zhang happened to see the eyes of the two sister-in-laws. The two sister-in-laws stared at the bundle in her hand with bright eyes, very surprised and curious.

Mrs. Zhang herself was also surprised, the couple barely managed a few words, and went back to the room to unpack the bundle, even more stunned.

Inside are three brand-new clothes, the outside is blue and blue cloth, and the kapok inside is also thick and soft to the touch, and it is very warm even without wearing it.

The three clothes are all made too big, and the ones worn by Shiro are also slightly fat.

Xiao Zhang's eyes fell on a stack of brand new snow-white rice paper. She had never seen it before, and she could tell that such paper must be good paper.

She was a little grateful in her heart, but she was also sore and uncomfortable. In the Gu family, she was the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and she still had a hidden sense of superiority in front of her younger siblings, but now she had to accept help from her sister-in-law.

Gu Qiang felt a little uncomfortable, but when the couple went out to eat that night, the faces of Xiao Zhang's two sister-in-laws improved a lot.

"I heard that your niece is a big deal, isn't she called Sanniang? She sells 'Gu Ji' wine and pickles, which are very popular in the county, and many rich and powerful families want to eat them."

Seeing the Gu family entrusting someone to deliver things today, Xiao Zhang's sister-in-laws were curious, so they said a few words outside, but they happened to meet a peddler, and heard the peddler talk about the wine and pickled vegetables of "Gu Ji" in the county. , is very famous, there is a price but no market, and you can’t buy it if you want to buy it.

This 'Gu Ji' was sold by Gu Zhuang and Gu Sanniang.

"Nowadays, as long as you put your village's name on your lips, you can make people look at you when you go out. The surrounding Dali Village has a similar accent to your village. When you go out, you will say that you are from Guzhuang."
