Chapter 25 Aunt PK
Ji Xinmei couldn't see herself as the third aunt, so she ignored her, and stepped forward to help Ji Liulan collect the copper coins into the bag: "Lanzi, do you want me and Min'er to take you back?"

Ji Liulan looked gratefully at Ji Xinmei and then at the door and said, "No need, my elder brother will come to pick me up soon."

Seeing that everyone regarded her as a tree stump, Fang immediately became rude: "Second brother, even though we are brothers, we must be related? Miao'er is my niece, and she gave up a good way to get money to others, is it true?" Don't you think too little of your uncles and aunts?"

Ji Qiulin smoked his own cigarette and ignored Fang, but directed: "Mei'er, you and Min'er send Lanzi home."

"Second brother..."

"Speak well if you have something to say, and if you can't say it, don't say it. If the third brother can't discipline you, Kun Pai, go and call your grandma." Ji Qiulin said a word, and Fang walked away in despair.

Ji Xinmiao looked at Ji Qiulin in admiration and smiled, this father really grasped Fang's weakness.

Seeing the expression on his daughter's face, Ji Qiulin finally stopped the welding smoke and said a few words: "Miao'er, you are a sensible one, so dad can rest assured. But dad wants to remind you that you are a capable child, but it is because of this that you are capable." Dad just wanted to say, after marrying into someone else's family, don't think that you are a little clever and clever, so you think you are noble. Don't be like your third aunt who only sees two silver coins in her eyes."

Father Ji is really a man of few words this time, Ji Xinmiao said sincerely: "Father and mother, just rest assured, the daughter is no longer a new seedling like before, and she will definitely not embarrass her parents after she gets married."

Wang's eyes were moist when she heard the change of her daughter in so long: "Her father, why should I marry this child?"

Ji Xinmiao stepped forward and hugged Wang Shi and said, "Mother, why don't you tell the Qi family that it will be okay if I don't marry for a while?"

Wang's tears were still rolling in her eyes, and when she heard her daughter's coquettish question, she scolded softly: "Stinky girl, stop talking nonsense! My big girl, if you don't marry again, the ancestors of the Ji family will scold your father underground Mother, I haven't counted the battles. Besides, the eldest brother of the Qi family is almost 25 years old, and the children of his age have already run around all over the place. If he is not lucky, he can still wait for you to pick it up? Don't make random suggestions with me. Mother I hate you, but I'm not going to raise you up as an old sister-in-law!"

Waiting for me to pick it up?What kind of big baby is he?Ji Xinmiao was secretly dissatisfied and curled up her mouth: He just got shit luck, I am the only one in the world who is rich, beautiful, and cheap with his big beard!
The father and daughter were talking, when suddenly someone called at the door: "Brother Qiulin, sister-in-law, are you there?"

Mrs. Wang came out of the room and saw Ji Liulan and her mother immediately said enthusiastically, "Oh, brother and sister, why are you here at night? Lanzi, why did your mother come here when it was so dark? Come and sit down." sit."

Mrs. Zhu helped her daughter into the house, and handed the money bag in her hand to Mrs. Wang: "Second sister-in-law, the child is not sensible. If you do a little favor, you will pay for the money. It is because the younger siblings have not taught well. You take it back." Well, the child already occupies a lot of your family, how can I feel at ease if I divide the money?"

Mrs. Wang understood that Mrs. Chen was embarrassed by Mrs. Fang's arrival just now. She pushed the money bag back into Mrs. Zhu's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, if you say that, you will lose face in the future if you are a sister-in-law. The two children make it by themselves." It’s the children’s business to use the money for snacks, so we adults shouldn’t get involved. Besides, Miao’er and Lanzi have agreed on the money when they started selling this jelly. Miao’er doesn’t have much time left at her mother’s house. , so I detained her at home and didn't let her go out. If Lanzi didn't come to accompany her to do some work, she would be annoyed. Well, brothers and sisters, you can listen to what you have, and you don't have to listen to what you don't. If If you hear everything in your stomach, can you still get better?"

Ji Qiulin also put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "Your sister-in-law is right, listen to what you should say, and pretend you didn't hear the rest."

Mrs. Zhu said in embarrassment: "Brother Qiulin, second sister-in-law, if this makes your brothers at odds, then I will really feel uneasy. Even if life at home is not good, I can't make things difficult for you. "

Wang waved his hand: "Sisters and sisters, I said that this is the children's business. As an adult, I don't want to get involved. They can divide it up as they like, and you shouldn't get involved."

At this time, Ji Xinmiao stepped forward: "Auntie, this is the pocket money that Lanzi and I have worked so hard to earn together. You really don't need to pay too much attention to it. Besides, these days, it is Lanzi who has worked hard, and I actually take her It’s cheap. Moreover, I also want to tell Lanzi that the double robbing in this village is over, and I’m afraid that there are not many jelly sellers who spend copper money on it. The next market day is three days later. If you are free, you can do it with your brother. Take two buckets and go to the town to try, maybe you can exchange two catties of meat."

When it came to this point, Mrs. Zhu didn't say much. She looked at Ji Xinmiao for a long time and said, "Miao Er, come to my aunt's house when you have time. My aunt is not good at anything else, but it's okay to buy a few pairs of shoe soles." Yes, if you don't think my aunt's workmanship is poor, you can bring some fabric."

Knowing that this woman really has no good way to thank her, so Wang made the decision: "That would be great, if there are younger brothers and sisters to help, this complete meeting ceremony will not be a problem. Brother and sister, you go back early and rest, tomorrow I'll send some fabric, you have to work hard, this girl is really not good at this job."

Mrs. Zhu finally smiled: "Second sister-in-law, you have a clever daughter like Miaoer, why do you care about such vulgar craftsmanship? Then it's settled, you must send it over tomorrow, and we'll go first."

After seeing off Ji Liulan's mother and daughter, Wang shook her head and said, "If Lanzi hadn't been in poor health, she wouldn't have been dismissed by the Chen family. Although no one said anything about the divorced woman, but Who knows what's going on in his heart? The Qian family's daughter was dismissed from her marriage, and she never talked about getting married. Later, when she got older, she had to marry a man in his 30s as her successor."

Only then did Ji Xinmiao realize that even if this world could not compare to the harshness towards women in the Song Dynasty, the concept rooted in the hearts of men cannot be changed. After all, this world still follows the principle that men are superior to women.

I thought this matter would end like this, but on the third day, Fang actually yelled about it to the old man.

Early in the morning, before everyone knew what happened, Ji Qiulin, his wife and Ji Xinmiao were called to the old house.

The old man was sitting under the newly planted fruit tree in the yard, knocking on the welding pipe, and the sound of "dong dong dong" baffled everyone.

"It's okay to ask you to come. I went to herd cattle early in the morning and heard Mrs. Fang talking to your sixth aunt about Miao'er and Lanzi making jelly. In fact, it's not a big deal. The women said three things. Four is also normal. However, my old man is in charge again this time, third child, your second brother’s family didn’t leave you behind when earning money last time, and I didn’t see you thank you for earning a few taels of money for more than half a year’s pocket money But this time, the two children get a few pocket money, you three uncles and three aunts go outside and talk about this and that, I gave birth to a white-eyed wolf, right?"

Although the master's words were light, but Ji Qiucheng's face flushed red, he gave Fang a hard look and said: "Father, don't listen to this talkative woman, it's my son who didn't manage well, which made dad angry. When I go back, I will discipline him well.”

Mr. Ji didn't say much and finally said: "Family and everything are prosperous, you are brothers, and the elder brother can be a friend and brother. I hope that you, the younger brother, can also be respectful. This is a family."

Ji Xinmiao and Ji Qiulin were on the way home, and she said uncomfortably, "Mother, what is this? Isn't it just a small fight? Is this third aunt going to end?"

Mrs. Wang smiled: "You, I have never suffered a lot. You can earn thirty big money a day, which can only be earned by a big man doing hard work. But you and Lanzi, two little girls, can do it in ten days. Can your third aunt not be jealous of earning hundreds of dollars? Well, anyway, she is this kind of person, and you will be fine if you don't associate with her in the future."

I thought it would be fine if we made a fuss at home, but in a few days...

Ji Xinmiao was about to learn shoe soles from Mrs. Yu, when Camellia's mother, Mrs. Gao, stopped her: "Xin Miao, you and Camellia have gotten along well since childhood. After you come back, she will treat you like a sister. Why not?" If you have a way to earn money, why don’t you tell your aunt about it? Yesterday Lanzi and his brother picked two large barrels of jelly to sell in the town, but they sold for a good price, and when they came back in the evening, they chopped two catties of meat back. You put That method should also be taught to my aunt, next time I will get some to sell in the town."

Ji Xinmiao really can't laugh or cry, how does Camellia get along with her?This aunt really has eyesight.However, she felt that the matter of making jelly was really out, and she wanted her sister and Lanzi to earn some pocket money next year, so she refused, saying: "Auntie, this year's season has passed, and there is no fruit for making jelly. gone."

Gao immediately said: "A few days ago, I saw Lanzi picking that scorpion. I thought she must be useful, so I also picked a basket at home."

Ji Xinmiao felt contempt from the bottom of her heart, but she still smiled and said, "Auntie, you are going to be in-laws with the Lin family. If you sell these little things in the town, the Lin family will see them. Can you think highly of your in-laws? My niece can't put my aunt in an embarrassing position just to please her. "

The clever Gao thought about it for a while and said, "It's still Xinmiao's eyesight. Auntie, I want to fork for a while, so forget it. Anyway, I won't make a lot of money this year, so forget it. Come and sit at home when you have time." , Camellia went to town yesterday, the second son bought a lot of fruit for her, you come and taste it too."

Ji Xinmiao agreed to leave. When Gao returned home, Camellia was sleeping. She said unhappily, "Camellia, what time is it? Don't you know how to cut pigweed? Where's your sister?"

Camellia lay on the bamboo recliner in the hall and said lazily: "Mother, you always let your daughter do these rough jobs. If you make my hands rough, won't you be looked down upon by others when you marry into the Lin family? You can ask your sister to do it." , she's in the back room."

Gao was right when she thought about it, her daughter was going to marry into the town, even though she was a concubine, wouldn't that be better than marrying any rural man?The second son of Lin said that the dowry will not be less than 50 taels of silver at that time, and if you give 20 taels to your daughter to press the box, you can still have 30 taels left in your family. It will be a big event for Zhushi to ask a good daughter-in-law to come in. up.

Thinking of this, Gao raised his voice and shouted: "Mianmian, Mianmian, what kind of corpse are you spreading? Don't you know how to cut pigweed?"

Cotton yawned and came out: "Mother, if the elder sister's hands can't be rough, then mine can be rough? I told you, when the Chen family's affairs with Lanzi are calmed down later, he will let his mother come to the door." I'm here to propose marriage. Although the Chen family is only a farming family, they have more than ten acres of land, and they don't depend on others for food. Besides, Brother Chen is a scholar. If one day he wins a scholar, I will be a scholar. Can this hand be rough?"

Camellia was not happy when she heard that: "Sister, you haven't even written off your horoscope yet. What kind of scholar lady, you have taken the exam twice for every scholar, and you are still a child. It is too early for you to become a scholar lady. Second Brother Lin has already passed the exam. Ming came to tell his mother that as soon as his wife came in, he came to our house to formally hire him, and the days are coming soon, how about you?"

Mian Mian looked contemptuous: "Elder Sister said it as if you married in and became a regular wife. Brother Chen may not be able to pass the examination as a scholar, but I will never be a concubine. You are still a regular wife, so you can't be considered a half-servant!" "

Camellia's face darkened and she immediately retorted: "What did you say? To be a regular wife? Then the Chen family really has this intention! In fact, you think you are old-fashioned in this matter? The Chen family retired Liu Lan's marriage, isn't it because they dislike being poor? ? If our family hadn’t been helped by the second son, how much better would our life be than hers? Wait until the Chen family hires you and be proud!”

Seeing that the two daughters were about to quarrel, Gao yelled angrily: "Okay, stop arguing! You are all destined to be young mistresses, but my old woman is destined to be a girl. If you don't do this, go Practice female celebrity, don't marry in, and even ask someone to make your husband's clothes. Especially Camellia, it's not enough for the second son to like you, but you have to learn how to deal with the mistress in the future."

After hearing the words about Chacha and Cotton, he quickly slipped into the room: "We will go to practice needlework right away."

Only then did Gao shi show a smile on his face, as if he was as proud to see his two daughters as noble wives.
