Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 19 The old lady's family is here
The daughter's marriage is almost settled, and it is indeed a rare and good marriage. Of course, the old lady is happy, and it is not convenient to show off to outsiders at this time, so she can only send a servant to inform the Tian family, which is her natal family. Have fun in front of your own family.

Old Mrs. Song's parents had passed away, but her two older brothers and one older sister were still there, and there were a lot of nephews and granddaughters. It could be said that five or six people could come here as soon as they called out.

It can be seen that Mrs. Song was a favored young daughter when she was young. When she called, even remarriage, which should not be publicized, shocked the heads of the families.

The two houses of the Tian family sent their eldest sons to visit to care about the situation, and Mrs. Song's elder sister even went to visit in person.

The first person to come to the door was Mrs. Song's sister. This old lady also lives in the county. Her mother-in-law is gone, and her husband also went two years ago. She is the old lady who is in charge. You don't need to ask anyone, just step up and come.

Aunt Song's family background is obviously not as good as that of her younger sister. She came here to teach Song Ru the experience of "how to be patient in her in-law's house", and also to prove to Song Ru that as long as there is a son, no matter how poor her in-law's family is, she will kill her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law. Husband, you can be an "old lady".

From her, Song Yun saw a more common type of marriage in this era:
Song Nian and Shen's have a relationship base, the two families are considered half family friends, and they are happy to see the marriage come to fruition, so Shen and Song Nian live happily after marriage.

Mrs. Song lost her husband in her early years, but listening to her occasional thoughts of longing and what Aunt Song said when recalling her younger brother, it can be seen that Mrs. Song's life after marriage is relatively smooth.

Song Ru's marriage was the most miserable marriage Song Yun had ever seen, but the misery was more concentrated on her in-laws' lack of conduct. It was said that Song Ru and Feng Erlang had a very good relationship.

Aunt Song, on the other hand, was beaten by her husband all her life, and was tortured by her mother-in-law all her life. She complained and didn't feel angry at first, but in the end she felt that "women are born to suffer like this. When a woman goes to her husband's house, Eating other people's food and drinking other people's food, it is impossible not to be wronged. As long as you have a child, you will have to rely on when you are old. This is called bitterness before sweetness."

It's not that she doesn't resist. In fact, in this day and age, it's very normal for a husband to beat his wife and mother-in-law to bully her daughter-in-law. Unless the consequences are particularly bad, it won't cause outsiders to discuss it.

She has been in such a family for a long time, and there seems to be no better way than to brainwash herself.

Now Aunt Song can be praised by outsiders as "blessed" because of her filial sons and daughters, as if her pains in the past few decades were all stages that must be passed before picking the fruits of victory.

Mrs. Song obviously couldn't stand her sister's theory, and said half-swearing and half-damaging:

"You were taught to be brainless by them, and you still eat and drink their food. The dowry brought by your parents is not enough for you to eat and drink? Is it not credit for you to give birth to children and serve your parents-in-law? Go back quickly, Don't bring my daughter down. I'm afraid that Mother Ru will be wronged, but you should advise her to be wronged more. Pooh, let's go, let's go back to your house and talk about it."

Aunt Song muttered dissatisfiedly, but she went back after all, who made her family depend on her nephew, naturally she had to coax old lady Song well.

After scolding her elder sister away, Mrs. Song looked at her daughter nervously, for fear that she would follow a bad example.

Song Ru assured her mother with some amusement:

"Don't worry, mother, I won't be so stupid anymore."

In short, Aunt Song is an unwelcome guest who doesn't know how to judge people's faces. The day after seeing her off, Mrs. Song's natal nephew, who is more welcome to Mrs. Song, came.

The Tian family is a small landlord in the traditional sense. The whole family lives in the village. Except for the land rented out to tenants, most of the other land is cultivated by the family themselves, and there are no servants at their disposal. Only when the farming is busy, Only a few short-term workers will be hired.

Therefore, Song Nian's two cousins ​​drove over by themselves in an ox cart, and there were still grain grown by the family in the cart.

The two cousins, Tian Fu from the first room and Tian Gui from the second room, showed their love to Mrs. Song affectionately as soon as they came:
"My parents, second uncle and second aunt are all thinking about my aunt. I know that you like to eat the food grown at home, so I specially picked the newly harvested food and asked us to bring it to you. There are also dishes that my cousins ​​love to eat. Put some on too."

Tian Gui also dug out a few red fruits and introduced them to the Song family:

"It was planted by our village chief's family. He heard that we were going to visit my aunt, so I specially picked it and brought it here. He said that the fruit tree in his house has been grown for more than ten years, and the fruit it bears is sweet. If my aunt tasted it, it would be delicious. , just send us a message, and we will send it back and forth.”

The old lady Song smiled openly, feeling that her natal family gave her face:

"Hahaha, no need, you can buy everything in the county. Wait a minute, let my daughter-in-law bring you some preserved chicken and preserved duck at home. They were all made a few months ago, and now they are delicious time."

Song Fu no longer talked about the things his family brought, but how the elders in the family remembered Mrs. Song, how they cared about Song Ru's marriage, and invited the Song family to take some time to go back and stay for a while.

Although Mrs. Song didn't have time to go back, she appreciated it and paid attention to the Tian family's nephews and grandnieces in a reciprocal manner.

The two brothers Tian Fu and Tiangui are a few years older than Song Nian, and the oldest children are naturally older than Song Dalang. The boys are all studying with an old gentleman in the village, and the girls are learning how to cook and sew at home.

Song Yun really didn't expect that there were several children in Tian's family who were studying. According to their opinions, the oldest one was already deliberately preparing for the scientific examination.

Looking at the skins of the two brothers from the Tian family who were obviously darkened by the sun, she thought that their life was very difficult.

There is no way, these days, life is good or bad, you can tell the difference from the skin color.

Rich people, regardless of gender, mostly do not have to work outside for a long time, and their skin is less exposed to sun exposure;

And the poor, not just the poor, even ordinary people with houses and land work outside all day long, regardless of men or women, their skin is either sallow or dark.

It’s no wonder that the ancients praised a person’s beauty, but they always couldn’t get rid of the “fat” and “powder noodles”. In fact, in a sense, skin color is a sign of class division.

Just like people in the beautiful country in later generations always regard the obese people as the bottom: in the fast food country, if you want to maintain your body shape, you need money and energy to maintain it.

In Song Yun's era, skin color also needs money and energy to maintain.Therefore, fair skin is highly valued in this era.
