After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 14

Su Xiaomu didn't rely on Li Shi's love to throw face at the two sister-in-laws, but took the initiative to take over the yard sweeping job after dinner.

After Yin Shi told Li Shi that there were hooligans on the street today, Li Shi worried that the city would not be safe for the next two days, and asked them to rest at home first.

"I'm talking about the third son's family. My mother said that you should take a good rest when you are tired from business. Why can't you be so restless? You want to compete with the second sister-in-law for work."

Chen moved a chair comfortably and sat under the tree to embroider handkerchiefs. There was no conflict between her and Su Xiaomu, but it seemed that life was going well, but she couldn't help but want to stab a few words: "You have to talk to your mother. Said, it was you who took the initiative to do it, not the second sister-in-law who ordered you to do it."

"It's because I can't be idle, how can I say that my second sister-in-law sent me? I was thinking about staying at home to rest tomorrow, and taking Ruochuan and Ruochen up the mountain to dig wild vegetables together."

Su Xiaomu looked at the children playing in the yard with a smile while sweeping the floor: "Second sister-in-law is really capable, she can raise the two children so well."

"When it comes to raising children, it's not your second sister-in-law who sells melons and sells melons. There is no family in this village that looks better than my two sons. If you and the third child have a baby in the future, the second sister-in-law I can also help you with it, and I will definitely take my little nephew well."

When talking about the word "little nephew", Chen deliberately emphasized his tone.

Su Xiaomu could clearly see that Yin's face changed slightly.

She really didn't know what to say for a while. The matter of Chen's having two sons was indeed a pain in Yin's life.

Who told her to give birth to two daughters in a row, and after giving birth to the second girl, her stomach still hasn't moved.

She shrank her neck silently, indicating that she would not join the battlefield.

After quickly sweeping the floor, Su Xiaomu called Gu Ruotong into her room. She told her to get up early tomorrow, and took a few younger brothers and sisters up the mountain together before giving her a piece of mung bean cake.

"This is specially reserved for you by the third aunt, eat it quickly."

Su Xiaomu noticed while eating today that Gu Ruotong distributed all the mung bean cakes that belonged to her to his younger sister, but he didn't eat a single bite.

"Thank you, Third Aunt."

When the little girl took the cake, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaomu took the little ones up the mountain after having breakfast.

These days, Gu Ruotong has been taking her younger siblings up the mountain. Su Xiaomu also asked her to dig other wild vegetables besides peppers. This time she came here by herself mainly to see if she could find any other seasonings.

For example, pepper, wild onion and garlic.

While searching and digging, she told the children what they were mainly looking for.

"I said, daughter-in-law of the Gu family, your family has gone up the mountain to dig wild vegetables all day long, and they have almost dug up all the wild vegetables in our area. Now people in the village want to dig wild vegetables, but they all run into the mountains."

I don't know which family's daughter-in-law it is, anyway, it's strange to see her.

Another woman who looked a little older than Mrs. Li also said: "Isn't it? Your family digs here and there on the mountain every day. It doesn't look like you're doing anything serious, just put it in your back basket." That, it tastes bitter and astringent."

"I don't like the food at other people's homes, but I secretly dig it up and cook it. It's not very good to pick up the bowl to eat and put it down to scold your mother."

Su Xiaomu thought he was a polite and moral person, and he was gentle and gentle in his dealings with others, but he couldn't say any harsh words.

In such a big place, who is in the way of her digging wild vegetables?

"Look at what Gu San's daughter-in-law said. We are just curious. Why do you say your family digs so many wild vegetables every day? Although our village is not rich, your family doesn't eat wild vegetables all the time. Bar."

A younger woman poked her head into Gu Ruotong's back basket curiously.

"Sister Zhao, what are you doing?"

Gu Ruonan didn't know when she came around from behind, she raised her feet and reached out to block the back basket, Gu Ruochen and Gu Ruochuan were also standing beside her, the three children were more serious about guarding each other.

Su Xiaomu gave the three children an approving look, and this time, can't one of them reward half a piece of pastry?
"Hey, this is really something shameful. You said that you and your sister-in-law go to the city every day, and take the big and small bags outside. You can't go to the city to do business and earn money behind the back of the villagers, right?"

It was the same woman just now.

Gu Ruotong told her in a low voice with the sleeves he pulled just now.

"This is Aunt Zhao from the east of the village. She likes to chew her tongue and sometimes quarrels with her third aunt."

Su Xiaomu raised his eyebrows slightly, it's easy to handle.

"Aunt Zhao, how many chickens do you have in your family? How many eggs can you lay in a day? How much grain can you harvest in a year? Everyone in our village knows the basics, and you have nothing to hide from me. Yes."

Aunt Zhao, "..."

This stinking girl! !
Su Xiaomu tilted his head, pretending to be puzzled: "Look, isn't Aunt Zhao also reluctant to tell me about the situation at home? How can she call me and my family is telling me every day?" And you."

"If I don't dig this wild vegetable, of course someone else will dig it. Auntie, your family digs a lot."

What Su Xiaomu said directly angered Zhao's mother and daughter away, and the people around who had been watching the excitement knew that the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family was not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare to come up to find her bad luck, so they scattered to dig wild vegetables.

Su Xiaomu didn't take this matter to heart either, she continued to look for what she wanted.

It wasn't until she was going down the mountain that she realized that Gu Ruotong was in a low mood. She probably knew why, so she put her hand on her shoulder and gently comforted her: "Why are you unhappy?"

"Mother said to be kind to people in the village, otherwise if they don't like me, I won't be able to marry in the future."

Gu Ruotong was dejected. While denying that she did not do well today, she envied Su Xiaomu for being able to say whatever she wanted.

"If only I could be as courageous as my third aunt."

"It's not a matter of your courage, but your mother told you wrong before. People in the village will not assign you a good marriage just because you are kind to others."

"Of course, I won't just find someone to marry just because you don't look easy to get along with. It's you who can really decide how your life will be in the future."

Su Xiaomu's eyes sparkled: "Ms. Ben Gang, you, first of all, you know what you want."

Gu Ruotong seemed to understand what Su Xiaomu said, she stretched out her hand and scratched her cheek, as if she was thinking about what Su Xiaomu said.

"Third aunt works so hard to make money so that she can be with third uncle in the future?"

"Ok?"
