The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 100
Lijiacun used to allow girls from her natal family to marry over, but later things happened. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both from their natal family. They are devoted to their natal family and only have nephews in their hearts.

This idiot did something immoral, which almost made the whole family unable to get up, and they fell hard. As a result, the mother-in-law died of illness, and the daughter-in-law was divorced.

When a family member married later, this incident made the Li family see the crisis and made this rule.

I am also afraid that both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come from the same family, and it will be troublesome if they join forces.

Nowadays, there are many families who want to marry men from Lijia Village. There is a lot of room for choice. If they are famous, they can be said to be equal to girls from the same family. The basic principle is that they are well-matched and have a good family tradition.

During the Chinese New Year, Qun Ge took his younger brother and his mother Xiuniang and pulled two carts of gifts back to Zhoujiacun to visit their relatives.

After staying for a few days, Xiu Niang came back.

After the Chinese New Year, Brother Qun and his younger brother went to the family school to continue their studies. They will not return to the capital until spring after the New Year. They can't just play and study in these two months.

At the beginning of spring, Xiuniang finished weaving Qi Guanshi's kang screen in advance and delivered the goods.

Manager Qi was inexplicably surprised, and it looked even better than the original one, so this can explain it.

He left another 500 taels as a reward. The stuff was so good that he couldn't get rid of the money he gave before. It was a bit of a loss for Xiu Niang, so he couldn't take advantage of it in vain.

The old embroiderer that Manager Qi had mentioned also arrived. After a few stitches in person, she could tell her skills. Xiuniang and Li Yan made the decision to keep the person.

Temporarily living with Aunt Wang, the two of them can keep company. The embroiderer's surname is Ma, and Ma embroiderer is responsible for teaching everyone embroidery, and the weaving workshop gives her monthly silver and five taels of silver.

The money was not much, but the condition was that she would be taken care of in her old age. She had settled in Lijia Village and would not leave unless there was no big problem.

Ma Xiu Niang didn't go to work after she came. She couldn't do anything anymore. She just taught embroidery. This is her real skill.She was sick when she arrived.

Li Yan invited a good doctor from the provincial capital to treat her, and it cost more than 80 taels of silver to buy medicine and treatment.

Now I know why the other side of Jiangnan doesn't want her, so just throw her out. When people get old, their eyesight is blurred, and they have no value anymore, people will abandon her.

Thanks to the kindness and sincerity of the people in Lijiacun, Ma Xiuniang knew that her illness would cost a lot of money. She had no hope and was waiting for death. However, her old friend refused to give up and tried every means to find a way out for her, so she came to Lijiacun.

She was very grateful to the Li family, so she took the initiative to settle in Lijiacun, which was also to reassure the Li family.Her health is a little better, and she goes to the weaving workshop every day to watch people embroidery. She can't do it, but she won't go blind. She can give some guidance and it will be no problem.

With her here, Xiu Niang no longer needs to keep an eye on the weaving workshop every day.

Ma Xiuniang's body is still in the stage of recuperation. She needs ginseng every month to replenish her Qi for about ten years. The money for this is paid by the weaving workshop.

In the past two months, everyone has made progress under the guidance of Ma Xiu Niang. Even Yingzi said that she is really capable and her embroidery work is so brilliant, but it is a pity that her eyes are a bit blurry.

Spring is here, Li Heng and Li Rui are back. My sister-in-law and mother-in-law are very happy.

After the excitement, the family sat down and talked.

"Why are you back just now? I've been waiting for you at home."

"Mom, we also need to get ready in the capital. I don't have much time. It's a bit tight to hold two wedding banquets. Let's arrange the wedding banquet in advance and hold the banquet when we get back."

"Okay, as agreed before, we will hold a banquet here to worship our ancestors, and then return to the capital to hold a formal wedding banquet."

The mother-in-law agreed to her son's request in a very reasonable manner.

Xiu Niang had long ago torn it apart and crushed it into pieces. She said that Li Heng was going to fight for the Li family. Don’t expect him to support you in your old age, nor could you pay for your mother-in-law’s money. The only one you can rely on is Li Mao, who will guard the village. Living in your own land, you are enjoying your life happily, but you may not be happy when you go to the capital.

In order not to drag her son down, her mother-in-law decided to live with her eldest son Li Mao from now on, and she would never grow old in the capital.In fact, she had a serious talk with Xiuniang's parents and figured it out completely.

Zhou's parents only agreed to go to the capital to take care of themselves when Zhou Yi's son had grown up. Before, they had always taken care of themselves in their hometown, and Zhou Yi was still the eldest son.

In fact, I don’t want to be a drag on my son, and I don’t want to be a burden to my son and daughter-in-law.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good, and now the parents of the Zhou family also enjoy the filial piety from their daughter-in-law. These words were whispered by Mrs. Zhou to her mother-in-law in private.

After the mother-in-law figured it out, she stopped worrying. It would be more comfortable to live with her son and Xiuniang. The capital was not suitable for them.

If you can't stand the way the children live their lives, and the quarrel is to embarrass the son, why bother? For the sake of the younger son's future, the whole family has spent all their money, Xiu Niang is almost exhausted, and the second son's hard work has also been exchanged. The yard was given to her youngest son, and all she could do was not to cause any trouble to her son.

"Mom, do you want to stay with me in the capital for a while?"

Li Heng looked at his mother and spoke.

"No, we can't stay for a few days. I'll go and arrange the marriage for your nephew and then come back. I'm used to life in my hometown. The winter in Beijing is too cold. Your father and I can't stand it. You and your wife live a good life, mother. I’ll fill in the burden for you and won’t stop you from flying high.”

The mother-in-law touched her little son's face tenderly and lovingly, with longing in her eyes.

Li Heng lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

"Okay, I'll come back to see you when I have a holiday during the Chinese New Year."

"Ah."

"Son, it is a great blessing for you to marry a daughter of an official family. What a husband and wife need to get along is mutual tolerance. When your second brother married your second sister-in-law, he was also worried about being overpowered. But in fact, he got married. , they have a long-lasting love as husband and wife, and your sister-in-law has made a huge contribution to our family, which is worthy of our family."

"I know that I am where I am today because my second brother and second sister-in-law supported me. I will never forget it."

Li Heng felt particularly uncomfortable when he mentioned his second brother.

"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how husband and wife should get along. You have to understand that you should put aside your pettiness and dignity and get along with your wife seriously and honestly. She is a good girl who is well-educated and well-educated. What about you? If you want to marry the best girl, but you are afraid that a girl from an aristocratic family will overwhelm you, the sugar cane is not as sweet as both ends."

Li Heng's thoughts were exposed, and he lowered his head with a red face.

"Do you like Zhang Lian'er?"

The mother-in-law did not blame her son. She also came from a young age and knew that men care about face.

The success of the younger son's career does not depend on his own ability, but on the support and protection of the Zhang family. He feels a little awkward and a little torn.

"I like her. She is very good, with a tough and gentle personality. She is like my second sister-in-law, but not as transparent as my second sister-in-law."

Li Heng respected Xiu Niang the most in his heart. In his heart, his second sister-in-law was the most beautiful and outstanding woman he had ever seen. She was good in everything.

If his wife could be half as good as his second sister-in-law, he would be very content in this life.

"Since you like each other, you should treat each other sincerely, be honest with each other, and speak out when you have something to say. Husband and wife are not afraid of quarrels, but they keep their words to themselves when they are afraid. You want to learn to be the head of the family, why don't you ask your second sister-in-law to manage your family? Isn’t this nonsense? I don’t understand this either. It’s easy to have conflicts if you go there. On the contrary, it’s best for you and your husband to learn to grow and experience on your own. The Zhang family doesn’t treat you badly. What’s the purpose? It’s just for you to cherish them. Daughter?"

"Mom, I remember. My son is too thoughtful. I understand."

Li Heng nodded seriously.
