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

Sitting next to Su Xiaomu, Yin Shi also looked towards the three children when she heard her say this. Although she was talking to her, the speed of holding the meat in her hands did not slow down.

"Being born in such a family, and being a girl, doesn't mean that there is nothing to eat, not to mention her, wasn't it the same in our family a few years ago?"

Yin's heart doesn't feel bad for her children, she has two daughters who can't take care of her.

After eating the meal that Mrs. Li loved for her daughter, Su Xiaomu rubbed her stomach contentedly and continued chatting with her two sister-in-laws.

Gu Shui called his three daughters to play with some nieces and nephews, and suddenly he wiped away his tears and began to complain to Mrs. Li tearfully.

"Mother, my daughter lied to you. The man in charge of my family didn't treat me as well as I said. He even looked down on my daughter, saying that I can't give birth to a son..."

Gu Shui felt aggrieved, Li Shi felt really distressed seeing her, her eyes were red, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe Gu Shui's tears, coaxing and comforting: "Quickly stop crying, he It's not good for you, you still have brother and father, we will go back with you in two days, let him know that there is someone in your natal family who is supporting you."

Mrs. Li was thinking in her heart that Gu Shui had been married to that family for so many years, and the Gu family had never visited her. She just took this opportunity to identify the family and support Gu Shui.

"No!" Gu Shui shook his head as soon as Li Shi finished speaking, "You don't need to go back with me. If Mother really wants to help me, you can lend me some money. Didn't the family earn money from selling food in the city a few days ago?" Is it a lot of money? Now that everyone is living so well, it must not be a problem to give me some money."

Gu Shui looked eagerly at the new clothes Li Shi was wearing. Now that she casually raised her sleeves, she could still smell the meaty smell on her body.

The smell of meat like this used to be only available during Chinese New Year, but she never had the chance to eat it.

Since she can't give birth to a son, she still has three daughters as a burden.

Gu Shui hid the sadness in her eyes and her jealousy towards the Gu family, she stretched out her hand to hold Li Shi's arm, and begged her.

"I don't need too much, mother just needs to give me something so that I can straighten my back at home."

Her life was so miserable, besides being unable to bear a son, she had no money.

If she could take out some money to supplement Xianggong when he gambled, then Xianggong would not beat and scold her frequently.

Gu Shui begged Li Shi with tears in her eyes, but she was actually ready to collect the money.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she heard the money was asked, Li Shi's distressed face immediately put away, and even directly pushed away Gu Shui's hand that was pulling her arm, and her expression changed instantly with vigilance.

"Did your mother-in-law ask you to ask for money? They have a big family, they have no ability to support themselves, and they want you, a woman with a belly, to make a fool of yourself?"

Mrs. Li is a little angry at the moment. The poor Zhou family was born with one Buddha ascending to heaven and two Buddhas. Getting married did not help their Gu family at all. Before studying in Jingcheng, I didn't see them send some Shuxiu for help. help.

Now that their Gu family has risen, his Zhou family has come to fight the autumn wind instead. He really thinks his Gu family is stupid and rich.

Thinking of this episode, Li's eyes on Gu Shui were no longer as pity as before, and even faintly vigilant.

"All the money in the family is left for your third brother to study, and no one can think about it. Don't say that mother doesn't love you. There is nothing in our Gu family that is more important than your third brother's study."

Mrs. Li is reluctant to give Gu Shui the money she saved to subsidize the Zhou family. If she can spend some money on Gu Shui for herself, or let her three granddaughters make up for it, it is not impossible for Mrs. Li to use it from her private house. Take some out of your money.

But knowing that the money is meat buns and dogs and will never be returned, who would want it?
Gu Shui's refusal was completely unexpected by Gu Shui. When she heard that she was unwilling to pay a penny, tears fell from her eyes like water that had been unloaded.

While crying, Gu Shui protected his stomach and complained to Li Shi: "Why do mother and father always only have the third brother in their eyes? Are you and father so cruel that you don't care about my life at all? When I was at home before, I also It’s not that I didn’t do my best for the family, I also saved a lot for Shu Xiu, the third elder brother who was studying.”

Gu Shui has been doing farm work with Li Shi since she was a child. After the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law married in, she also followed them to sell eggs in the city. After so many years of hard work, she thinks that even if she is the youngest child in the family, she has never I have received the slightest partiality from Mrs. Li and Mr. Gu!

Gu Shui cried sadly, his eyes were swollen and ugly like walnuts.

Seeing her like this and listening to her accusations, Mrs. Li naturally felt many complicated and embarrassing things in her heart.

It's true that she and Lao Gu like Gu Jingcheng the most among the children.

That's because Gu Jingcheng is capable and talented in reading.

The money they spent on him and the time they spent on him would only be rewarded after he passed the imperial examination.

And Gu Jingcheng was indeed competitive, since he was a child, he never let their parents spend other efforts on him.

And the daughter in front of her, with a child in her stomach, was the one who really made Mrs. Li and Mr. Gu sad.

But Shiyue was pregnant, no matter which child was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, Li Shi was not so cruel even though she was biased.

She sighed a long time, stretched out her somewhat slack hand to gently caress Gu Shui's protruding belly.

"All the money in the family will be left for your third brother to study. It's not that parents don't miss you, but they really can't give you any other money. When I leave later, I will ask your sister-in-law to prepare more food for you. , you take it back and give the children a good repair, but you can't let them be weak like they are now."

Gu Shui's stomach is round to the touch, so he might be another daughter.

She couldn't bear a son four times in a row, I'm afraid she will still suffer in the Zhou family.

Li's distressed eyes lingered on Gu Shui, and there was a lot of helplessness in his heart after all.

Gu Shui was not satisfied with just bringing back some food.

She could hardly get by in Zhou's house. If she couldn't bring some money back this time to let them see her usefulness, she would be divorced sooner or later.

Gu Shui didn't want to be kicked out of Zhou's house with his child, so he could only pin all his hopes at home.

"Mother, you can just give me some money, but some silver taels will not affect the third brother's study. Besides, there is still some time before Chunwei, and it is not impossible for the family to earn new money."

She doesn't want more, a dozen taels or seven or eight taels is fine.

Moreover, Gu Shui knew that a scholar like Gu Jingcheng who could study would have to pay to go to the imperial examination township.

His life will not be wronged, and she just needs to share a little bit of him.
