Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 43
Although Jiang Yunhe has a straight-tempered and naughty temper, judging from the fact that she is consistent in her husband's family, manages the men obediently, and finds good marriages for her children, she is not a fool.

Jiang Yungui was different. I don't know whether it was because she had an older sister to support her since she was a child, or because she was not valued by her parents and was not taught properly. Not only was she not very clever, she also had no independent opinions.

Just like what happened to Jiang Yungui's mother-in-law's family. In the countryside, I have never heard of any family where a man died, and the daughter-in-law refused to leave the front door or the second door for a full three years of filial piety. She was not even allowed to go back during the New Year and festivals. natal family.

Pianjiang Yungui not only listened to her parents-in-law, but was also proud that they were well-behaved scholars.

With such a person, Liu was confident that he could still control her.

"Head of the family," Mrs. Liu thought more and more, and continued, "If we can promise Jintao to Tao, and when he becomes a scholar, wouldn't we be the father and mother of a scholar?"

"Don't you have a cold?" Jiang Minghui reached out and touched Mr. Liu's forehead with a worried look on his face, feeling that there was something wrong with his wife's brain.

"Go," Madam Liu glared at him, slapped the hand on his forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"You also said that my second sister is interested in my eldest brother's wealth," Jiang Minghui sat back on the kang and said loudly: "What's the matter? How much dowry can you give Jintao?"

How much money does it take to support a scholar? Jiang Mingshun thought to himself, if he had that kind of money, he might as well support his own son. It would be better to be a scholar and his biological father instead of his half-father.
"Are you a dead man as a father?" Mrs. Liu was angry that her man didn't help find a solution and was still making sarcastic remarks here.

"You are her biological brother, how dare she open her mouth like a lion?"

"What's more, we're not selling our daughters. Although we can't give you a heavy dowry, we will prepare everything we need."

"The two of them know each other well and have grown up together. Isn't it better than finding someone else's daughter?"

Jiang Minghui didn't talk to her for more than a few words, and simply turned away and ignored her. Anyway, if he didn't talk, his wife would only dare to talk about him in the room.

Ms. Liu didn't say a few words before Ms. Yang called her out to prepare breakfast.

There is no habit of eating breakfast here in the old house, but they got up early today. Jiang Minghui and Jiang Mingyao had to wait until noon before going to their father-in-law's house for lunch. Yang felt sorry for her son, so she asked Liu to make some pancakes and porridge. Come out and give it a try.

……

In a blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the daughters-in-law from each family who have returned to their parents' homes have come back, and the clansmen have time to prepare a treat.

As a rule, the clan leader starts first.

Ever since I became the patriarch of the clan, I have been doing this every year, and everyone in the family has long been used to it.

The patriarch's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, brought her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, early in the morning to prepare a meal for the guests.

It seems that the steamed vegetables and soup were prepared last night, and they can be served today as long as they are heated up.

Therefore, even if there are four or five tables of meals to prepare, the kitchen is still not too busy.

Because of what happened last year, Jiang Mingshun planned to go there early to help.

When his family arrived, there were indeed few people in the patriarch's family.

Mrs. Bai put the sleeping brother Jiang on the kang in the back room, and went to the kitchen.

Her hair was neatly combed and she was wearing a coarse cloth gown, but she could tell from the collar and sleeves that she was wearing a thick cotton jacket. Wang took a closer look and thought to herself that she must be wearing this for work.

"From the Mingshun family," Wang smiled and waved to Bai, and said bluntly, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Bai walked over following the voice, smiled sheepishly, and said, "It's not like I had a lot of things to do right after I gave birth to the baby, and then I didn't dare to hold the baby out when the weather got cold."

"That's right, the baby is too young, so be sure not to worry about freezing." Ms. Li nodded in agreement. She had also given birth to a child, so she could naturally understand the feeling of being a mother.

After all, it was a treat for the patriarch's family. Since Jiang Mingshun's family arrived, many people came one after another, all wanting to come in advance to help.

Mrs. Yang also came out as a guest today. She has a higher seniority and has rarely gone to other people's homes for dinner in recent years. Only the patriarch's family still comes every year.

As soon as she came in, she saw Mrs. Bai in the kitchen with a smile on her face and talking to the people around her. She felt helpless and resentful.It can be said that the two people actually have no hatred. When they were still in the old house, Yang's intention to target Bai was just to suppress Jiang Mingshun. There was no actual hatred.

Ordinarily, after Jiang Mingshun's family moved out of the old house, Yang got what she wanted and should have given up long ago.

But people always hate others and laugh at others.

If they find everything is difficult and their life is not good after they move out, Yang will naturally be able to let it go completely.

But on the contrary, not only did they live a good life, but their tribesmen and even other villagers also benefited a lot from it.

This made Yang extremely uncomfortable. Even though her own life was better than before, she still felt that her many years of planning had been in vain.

But she still couldn't keep out of sight.

Everyone in the village was watching. If she showed any timidity, they would never raise their heads again.

However, Mrs. Yang glanced at Ms. Bai covertly, not wanting to bow her head to this niece-in-law who had been suppressed by her since she got married.

As a result, Jiang Jinyu suffered another disaster.

She was listening to the tribe's conversation next to her father when she was suddenly called away by Yang.

Jiang Jinyu reluctantly left the melon-eating center and said hello to Mrs. Yang: "Grandma, happy New Year!"

Mrs. Yang pulled Jiang Jinyu to sit down with a loving look on her face, and said warmly: "Don't go to your father's place. The man's house smokes, and the smell is very strong."

"You can sit down and have dinner with grandma today."

Jiang Jinyu stood up in a hurry, shook his head and waved his hands and said, "I'm not honest when I eat, and I'm going to delay grandma's meal."

"I'll have to trouble Grandma to take care of me then."

"I'll just eat in the kitchen with my mother."

This is also a custom in Huangtian Village. Women who come to help usually arrange another table of food in the kitchen, so that they don't have to come out to compete with others. This is also a way of thanking them for their help.

"You're a clever little kid," Mrs. Wang laughed out loud after hearing this, and ordered Jiang Jinyu from a distance: "You must have fallen in love with the delicious food in the kitchen."

Jiang Jinyu lowered his head pretending to be embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yang couldn't hold her any longer and could only let her go.

Life has been better this year, and everyone in the tribe has smiles on their faces, no longer as sad as in previous years.

It can only be said that money makes a hero bold, and the Jiang family has become greatly emboldened this year.

Jiang Mingshun, the main hero, naturally received a warm welcome at such a gathering. From the moment he entered the courtyard, people came to say hello.

A total of four adults and four children came to the old house. Jiang Mingyao returned to town yesterday and did not come back. He only bought two packs of snacks as a gift before leaving, and took Jiang Minghui to give to the patriarch.

Mrs. Liu didn't go to the kitchen.

They arrived not too early, and there were already several women from the tribe helping in the kitchen. She only glanced at them from a distance and left, looking for someone she was close to to sit down and chat.

During the Chinese New Year, she didn't want to rush to do things.

In just these few months, Ms. Liu thought to herself that she finally understood that no matter how good the relationship was, it still depended on whose family was living a good life.

If she couldn't get up, it would be useless no matter how much she helped.
