The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 9 Educating Daughter-in-law
Yu Maimai felt that there was still a little bit of silver on his body, and glanced at Mrs. Zhang: "Get ready, follow me to the town to buy some things, and by the way, ask some workers to repair the courtyard."

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth wide.

Stretching out his hands, he said, "Mother, don't do it, we just came to this place, we should buy some food first, otherwise, I'm afraid we will starve."

Ning Shi also nodded, and said: "That's right, mother, why don't we postpone the repair of the house until we are ready to repair it, how about it?"

Yu Maimai has his own ideas, he just came to this place, and he doesn't have much money, but when he thinks that everyone in this village has died, how can such a house not be repaired if people want to live in it?
Yu Maimai is a person who is more particular about everything. On this kind of matter, her thoughts are more conservative. She is talking about repairing the yard, but in fact, she wants to go to the town to find a gentleman. Otherwise, Yu Maimai is really serious. Can't bear to live in such a house?

"No, this house must be repaired. The second child is at home looking after the child. I will go to the market with your sister-in-law, and I will be back soon."

In the village of Kushuihe, the road is relatively rough, and it is [-] to [-] miles away from the town. The traffic is very inconvenient, and it takes several hours to take a bullock cart to Luhua Town.

The family in the village has just separated, and they are all busy going to the market to buy some rice noodles, but the dry water river has only one ox cart, which has been borrowed by others, so they can only wait for the ox cart to come back.

Everyone was very curious when they came to the new place. Aunt Chen from the village was assigned next door to Yu Maimai. She was holding a broom and wearing a gray kerchief on her head. She said happily, "Oh, her aunt, We have become neighbors, good thing, this yard is not bad, look, it basically has all the daily necessities, so we don’t need to buy them.”

Some memories appeared in Yu Maimai's mind. The original owner was not familiar with this aunt Chen before, and occasionally greeted each other when they met at the village head and village, but in the original owner's heart, this aunt Chen loved to gossip, who in the village There is a big or small matter, as long as she sees or hears it, the whole village will know about it in less than a stick of incense, so everyone in the village is wary of this woman, and the original owner doesn't treat her very well .

"That's right, but if you want to live in people, you still need to repair it. After all, it's unlucky to die."

When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately shook her hand: "Hey, what are you afraid of? When people die, there is nothing. Everyone in this village has been killed. Those who are killed by people will be guarded by Hades, so even if the ghost harms people's hearts, it can't hurt people, so don't worry, go and have a look at your yard."

Aunt Chen seemed to be at her own home. Before Yu Maimai could speak, she walked in.

There are more houses in front of her than her own, and even the furnishings are higher-grade than her own, and there is a well in the yard, which makes Aunt Chen very angry, and she has already cursed the officer for being unfair in her heart.

"Oh, I really can't see it. Your Excellency really takes care of your family. Such a big yard not only has so many more rooms, but also such a well, which no one else in the village has. Woolen cloth?"

Can Yu Maimai not understand what this sentence means?She glanced at Aunt Chen and said, "Oh, look at what you said. When the plague broke out, our family went to help rescue people. What about the others? They don't seem to be there, right? Naturally, the officer will naturally treat my family on this matter." It's a bit biased."

Aunt Chen smiled awkwardly, but the corners of her mouth twitched twice, she looked at Yu Maimai: "Oh, that's what you said, how about it, I'll go back and tidy up the yard, I have time to chat some other day."

Yu Maimai snorted coldly: "I say this as if I am very familiar with you, but I still don't understand with your little thoughts?"

In the yard, Mrs. Zhang shouted: "Mother, the ox cart is here. Look, do we have anything to prepare?"

Yu Mai stepped into the room and found a bronze mirror on an antique cabinet. Although it was covered with dust, it was better than nothing, so she took a feather duster and brushed it twice.

"By the way, you should also clean up. It's not a problem for a woman's house to be so sloppy when she goes out."

In the bronze mirror, Yu Maimai's appearance is not too bad. He looks 35 years old, with dark skin, a mole on his chin, and black hair. According to the current customs, married women's hair is tied up. A round bun and a wooden hairpin.

"If it weren't for this extremely sloppy clothes, I must be younger and more beautiful at this age. If my skin can be made a little fairer, then in the village, I will still be a goblin mother-in-law."

There was a scarlet wardrobe next to her. She opened it and found that there were a lot of clothes in it, and the figure of this woman was similar to her own, and the style of the clothes was better than the clothes she was wearing now. It could be seen that , the hostess of this house is extremely quality-oriented.

Changing into a plain dress and combing her hair high, Yu Maimai seemed to be a different person, full of energy.

Mrs. Zhang was wearing a blue dress, carrying a basket in her hand, and a pair of cloth shoes with exposed toes on her feet.

"Don't you have a pair of shoes?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "Mother, everyone is like this now, who wants to do this, as long as you can eat enough, it's good. Why does mother suddenly pay attention to clothing?"

It can be seen that the original owner is sloppy and never asks his daughters-in-law to do such things. She is different from Maimai. As a woman, no matter how bad her life is, she must clean up her image.

Yu Maimai got into the bullock cart and sat side by side with Mrs. Zhang. The old man Liu who was driving the cart took a look and said, "Oh, you widow Zhang, sitting with your daughter-in-law now, why do you look more like a son-in-law?" Where is the daughter-in-law?"

"Nonsense! I have a grandson, and I still say such things?"

Old man Liu shook his head: "Don't believe me, just find someone to take a look, you must think you are the daughter-in-law, and you can see that you are much younger than your eldest daughter-in-law?"

Yu Maimai was very satisfied in her heart. Seeing Mrs. Zhang beside her, she grabbed Mrs. Zhang's arm and said, "Remember, in the future, whenever you go out, you must tidy yourself up. Don't let people say that about my daughter-in-law, you know?"

Looking down at her exposed thumb, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but put the toe of the shoe behind the other foot, and said timidly, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows."
