Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 25

Except He Yanxin.

He Yanxin's face was complicated, he didn't expect his wife to have such a side.

Then there was a bit of bitterness, if it wasn't for King Qi, they would still have a lot of time to get to know each other's side.

He Yanxin was worried that if he lost himself, Wu Erlang and his wife, who had accumulated grievances for a long time, would be detrimental to his wife and children, so he would go over and stare at each other when cooking and delivering meals.

He was relieved that the porridge was cooked by Mrs. Wu, except that Xi and her second aunt were not allowed to add salt, and nothing else was added during the journey.

Today I went to check it as usual, and found that Mrs. Li actually spat in it and stirred it up.

He was so anxious that he immediately turned back to look for Qingniang, and kept talking to her that he couldn't eat it, hoping for a miracle.

Then I found out that she didn't suffer.

His wife is smart!He Yanxin became happy, and looked at Mrs. Song who was "crying" on the ground with a smile.

He didn't think Qingniang was too scheming, he just thought it was cute, and he let go of a lot of worries.

It's okay to bully others, don't let others bully you.What's more, she was just fighting back.

And Mrs. Song was also helped up here, and it was Mrs. Wu who ran out to help her.

The child was also disgusted, and when he saw the porridge on the ground, he burst into tears.She said that this was what her, her mother and brother ate today, and it was specially reserved for her.

Now that it's overturned, what should Aunt Qing eat?
Everyone looked at the porridge with a lot of water on the ground, and there was something they didn't understand.

This is not only coming here to bully orphans and widows, but also bullying at home!

As I said before, reputation is very important nowadays. Even if the relationship between the two families is not very close to the village, everyone still has to severely condemn this behavior on the face of it.

So everyone talked and talked about Mrs. Li, and comforted Mrs. Song on the side.

Someone went to ask Wu Erlang, who had been huddled at home, to come out and ask him to return the grain to the He family.

But Uncle Wu was too ashamed to go out after listening for a while behind the door, and went back to the house and spoke with difficulty in front of his wife's bed.

He was really ashamed to see Mrs. Song, but what could he do.I can't even speak clearly, and the family's money and food are all controlled by the second daughter-in-law.

Especially my wife, paralyzed on the bed, has been taken care of by myself and my eldest granddaughter. The second couple have never entered this room to see his mother.

The two did not dare to ask them to drink porridge, after all, they are not dumb anymore.If the name of unfilial piety becomes serious, you will be dragged to see an official.

Looking at his wife whose eyes were rolling rapidly, he took the other's hand.A soothing pat.

"Outside, side, nothing, it's a matter... don't worry." Now that his body is in such a state, according to her temperament, he dare not be angry with her anymore.

Wu Erlang went out without any food.The very bachelor said that the key to the cabinet was with his wife, and he couldn't help it.

And Mrs. Li is also confident, saying that these days Mrs. Song's mother and son eat three things from his family, and the bag of food is the food expenses.

What kind of person can eat eighty catties worth of food in two days?This is nonsense!
With a bang, the door of the Wu family was pushed open, and an ax was thrown out.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Chen and her son walked over with a bag of food with difficulty, and her complexion looked not very good.

Everyone looked at the ax on the ground and was stunned for a moment.No one expected that this usually reserved and honest woman would dare to do this.

"As the sister-in-law of this family, I will return the [-] catties of grain to the He family today."

The elder brother is the father and the elder sister-in-law is the mother.Especially now that she is still a widow.

Sure enough, Wu Erlang and his wife stopped talking as soon as these words came out.Outsiders also praised Mrs. Chen for her benevolence and righteousness, with the demeanor of a sister-in-law.

Mrs. Li hates it very much, but no matter what happens at home, she really can't be disrespectful outside.I had to watch helplessly as the food I got flew away.

So he glared at Mrs. Chen, gritted his teeth and pumped his cheeks vigorously.

Go back and clean you up!

Mrs. Chen shook her body slightly and stood up again. Then, with the help of her daughter and son, she brought the food to Mrs. Song who had been stunned since she went out.

She showed a smile, and Mrs. Song also smiled immediately, without saying anything.

No matter what, they have to start working hard for their children and themselves, otherwise they will just be trampled into the mud.

After that incident, Mrs. Li never sought favor from her again.

Even Mrs. Chen put on the power of the eldest sister-in-law at home, and Uncle Wu also fully supported the eldest daughter-in-law.

As a result, Mrs. Li could only be incompetent and furious over and over again.

After being pushed back by Mrs. Chen again, Mrs. Li sat in the room, a little puzzled.

Why did my obedient sister-in-law become so powerful all of a sudden?
But it won't work any longer.

Mrs. Li used her not-so-smart head to think about countermeasures, but found that she really had no choice.

She said that Mrs. Song couldn't accept the other party's tricks, and she didn't want to hear about her reputation outside now.

In terms of status, she couldn't overwhelm Mrs. Chen, and her father-in-law was also on her side.

Could it be that he was going to be oppressed by these two people for the rest of his life?
Blame Wu Erfan for being useless, she glared at the loud snoring man on the bed.

Are you going back to your mother's house?But she is not stupid enough to support that big family with her own money.And my sister-in-laws may not be much better than Mrs. Chen.

She suddenly remembered what the man who came to buy rice said when she went to the county town to sell rice last time.

Although it can't be said that food is hard to find in Qizhou now, it is also considered ridiculously expensive.

The five catties of rice she brought sold for 20 taels!Four taels a catty of rice, if two years ago this would have bought more than four shi.

When the other party was dealing with her, she heard that she still had some at home, and after bringing it back next month, he waved his hand and said vaguely: No need, he will be able to leave Qizhou soon.

leave?Even a village woman like her knows that she can't leave Qizhou now, so how is he going to leave?

Mrs. Li Sapo caught the man and threatened him to tell her, otherwise she would sue the government.

Out of helplessness, the man could only tell her how to do it.

In the southwest of Qizhou, there is a checkpoint called Juhuang Pass. The defense there is not as strict as other places, and I have some friendship with the guards there.

So on the night of the [-]th of the next month, I made an appointment with that person to let his family leave the customs.

It's just that he is not the only soldier guarding the pass, and those people need to be managed, so everyone who goes out has to pay 100 taels of silver.

Sixteen next month?Isn't it three days later?

Mrs. Li got down and took out a cloth package from under a stone slab under the bed, and a dusty purse from the beam.

A 20 taels of silver ingot and more than six taels of silver were wrapped in the cloth bag, and a silver note with a denomination of 50 taels was in the purse.

Of the money, 44 taels was the money she had saved in the 11 years since she married into the Wu family. As for how did she save so much money?
Do you really think that every time she carries a big bag or a small bag, it is a gift for her natal family?Of course, it is a hard trip to the town to sell and then save some to take there.

Moreover, most of the money Wu Erfan got back from going out to work was with her.

Last time Aunt Ge found more than two or two taels, but she put them in the cabinet specially to cover her "big money".

And the other 32 taels she got from selling rice in the past few months.

In addition to the five catties that time, she actually sold one catty and two catties one after another, and she stole these rice from the kitchen cabinet every night at night.
