The ugly husband of the sturdy peasant girl is spoiled by the sky

Chapter 53

The four sisters talked with Mrs. Liu, and seeing that Mrs. Liu was in a much better mood, Shu Xin said, "Mother, you rest first, I will take the cauliflower and green onion to see how the cotton and corn are growing in the field!"

"Go, I'm fine, just I'm tired too, sleep for a while!" Liu whispered softly.

The more comfortable she is, the softer Liu Shi becomes gentler.

Don't say that the daughters are treated equally, but it is obviously much better.

Even Douhua is hugged in his arms from time to time, coaxing them to sleep together.

Shu Xin and his sisters could feel the subtle changes in Liu's family, and they were happy in their hearts without saying anything.

"Is that mother sleeping on the bed or on the kang?"

"Get on the kang, this side is also spacious, so don't move!"

"Row!"

Shu Xin responded and left the room.

Cauliflower and green onion followed with a smile on their face. Mrs. Liu looked at it and laughed.

"Douhua, come and let's sleep for a while!"

Douhua pouted her lips, "Mom, can I stay awake?"

"Okay, let's go find your elder sister and the others!"

"Yeah!" Dou Hua quickly slid down the kang, put on cloth shoes and ran out of the house.

Mrs. Liu smiled and shook her head, but she couldn't sleep, she got off the kang and touched them one by one.

Such a clean and comfortable house, she didn't dare to think about it when she was a girl, let alone a daughter-in-law who couldn't give birth to a son.

Every place is brand new, washed clean, and has a fragrant smell.

Liu Shi opened the closet, and there were two sets of neatly folded clothes, and then there were fabrics in many colors.

Mrs. Liu brought out two pink ones, thinking that she could make a dress for each of her daughters, and took two blue ones, planning to use them to make trousers.

Shoes can not be less.

Shu Xin, cauliflower, and green onion are beaten, and tube tops and bellybands are also indispensable.

Liu found needles, thread, scissors, and a thimble in the cabinet.

"Hehe!" Liu Shi laughed lightly.

Everything in this room is placed where she wants it.

Being taken care of by her daughter in this way, Liu's heart felt tight.

Thinking that I was still in confinement, I still didn't do anything, and fell asleep next to my younger brother and Yaomei.

Liu Shi had an excellent dream.

The younger brother has grown up, is very promising, has become a high-ranking official, and his daughter is married. The husband treats them very well, and their stomachs are also competitive. They have several sons, and there is no shortage of money in their hands. It is really wonderful to be ordered by the son, the parents-in-law and sister-in-law are kind, the son and daughter-in-law are filial, and the children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren.

The dream was so wonderful that Liu Shi laughed out loud in her sleep.

Cotton, bracts, and soybeans all germinated and grew very well in the field, but there were weeds. Shu Xin took cauliflowers and green onions and pulled them out row by row.

The little chickens are being raised in the chicken coop in the backyard. There is no extra food at home, so they can only eat some weeds and bugs.

Douhua was not idle either, she kept catching grasshoppers, skewered them with dogtail grass and prepared to feed them to the chickens.

In fact, the land is not too much, but it is not too little. In addition, the village chief gave more on purpose. If he wants to strip all the grass, it will take two or three days.

After pulling the weeds, you have to use a hoe to loosen the soil.

Although I was sweating profusely from work, I was in a good mood when I thought of receiving cotton, bracts, and soybeans in autumn.

Old Man Shu, Mrs. Shu, and Shu Jinzhi hurried to the town, only to learn that their second daughter, Shu Duan'er, followed Zhencheng's son-in-law, Sun Shi, to Lin County for a wedding banquet.

Even the three children born to Sun Shi's former wife and Wen Rui, born to Shu Duan'er, also went.

Mrs. Shu pondered for a while, "Then let's go to Juan'er's house!"

The eldest daughter, Shu Juaner, married Qian Jin, and Qian Jin was a fast catcher. If Qian Jin was willing to make a trip, he would definitely punish Shu Xin, that little bastard.

"En!" Old man Shu nodded slightly.

Speaking of Shu Juan'er, the eldest daughter, Mrs. Shu is in a very good mood.

No other reason, good marriage.

The belly is also up to date, and she gave birth to four sons and two daughters. The four sons are now married, and each has a son and daughter. The older girl is married and married very well. Yes, it is better to marry than her sister.

In any case, the Qian family is a very wealthy family on the outside.

But a family of seven or eight is together, there are about thirty people, how much to eat, drink, and wear, Shu Juan'er is the housekeeper, and she is worried to death every day.

Seeing his parents and younger sister coming, he greeted them politely and enthusiastically.

"Father, mother, little sister, sit down quickly!"

Daughters-in-law came up with their children, "Grandfather, grandmother!"

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother!"

Old man Shu nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Shu immediately took out one hundred Wen and handed it to the eldest child, "Take it to buy candy, and share it with the younger brothers and sisters!"

"Thank you great-grandmother!"

The children took the money and ran out of the house happily.

Shu Juan'er laughed, "Mother is too used to them!"

"It's okay for my own children to get used to it. In the early years, the family was poor, and they couldn't help it if they wanted to. Now it's the same to make up for their children!" Mrs. Shu said, laughing cheerfully.

Seeing several granddaughters-in-law talking with Shu Jinzhi, she was satisfied, so she asked, "Where is Fanghua? Why didn't you see her?"

"A friend of hers, Jiji, went to play today, and may not come back until evening, or may stay there!"

Mrs. Shu nodded.

I was a little disappointed.

It would be great if I came earlier, let Fanghua take Jin Zhi to walk around.

After talking for a while, Shu Juan'er saw that Mrs. Shu was hesitating, so she asked, "What's the matter, mother?"

She is also a grandmother. The oldest grandson is 11 years old, and there are more of the oldest.

"It's like this..." Mrs. Shu added more details about Liu's mother and the others.

It was nothing more than how unfilial Liu's mothers were, Shu Xin tried to chop her up with a kitchen knife, and even injured her.

Shu Juan'er was dumbfounded.

Looking at his own mother, he said cautiously, "Mother, it's fortunate that you didn't meet Duan'er, let alone your brother-in-law!"

"How?" Mrs. Shu asked.

Old man Shu also looked at Shu Juan'er.

Shu Juaner asked the laser tube daughter-in-law to take Shu Jinzhi to play, and there were only three people in the main room before she said, "Mother, you are so confused, why don't you think about it, why the third brother and Liu's reconciliation? It's Liu's One of the seven children was childless, but she was still pregnant and gave birth to several daughters. It's not that she can't give birth, it's just that she hasn't given birth to a son for a while, but what did the third brother do? For a widow to go home and fight Do you really think he is justified in beating a few daughters without asking why? If you don’t believe me, go out and inquire, what do others say about the third brother? Then ask others what they say about you and your father?"

"That's the reconciliation proposed by Mrs. Liu, what has nothing to do with me!" Mrs. Shu said, poking her neck.

I don't feel like I'm wrong at all.

"Yeah, mother thinks so, and father thinks so too, so I think Liu's family is still so deceitful, but why don't you think about it, Liu's mothers were kicked out penniless, why did they have their own land and money?" Newly built house, mother, you go to make a fuss, you think your reputation can still be good, if you don’t believe me, wait, within ten days, the whole Conghe Town will know you, bullying orphans and widows, if this Liu family comes here to seek death and life , even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to cleanse yourself!"

"No, Mrs. Liu doesn't have the guts to seek death!" Mrs. Shu was very sure.

Liu's temperament is soft, how dare she think about it.

"It won't be the best, but if Mrs. Liu really wants to die, no matter whether she dies or not, if this matter is brought up to my brother-in-law, or the former wife's natal family, the second sister will not even think about living a good life!"

Mrs. Shu became anxious when she heard this, "This, is it so serious?"

"Can it be serious? Mother, we are the ones who don't take care of it now. There is no reason at all. It doesn't matter whether it's reconciliation or divorce. It's just that you and your father don't care about it. Let the third brother beat Liu Shi and make up with each other, and leave their mother." A few people are kicked out, no matter whether you don't ask or ignore it, this matter will pass slowly, but you just go to make such a fuss, do you think you can be domineering and invincible with the help of your brother-in-law? No, the brother-in-law's former wife's natal family is now It's terrible, one of the two brothers-in-law has become the county magistrate, and the other is about to become the magistrate. This time, the brother-in-law took the second sister and a few children to drink the wedding banquet. Don't forget, how did Wen Rui get here! "

When Sun Shi married Shu Duan'er, he declared that he could not have children, and even if he did, it would only be a daughter.

The Shu family agreed.

Shu Duan'er got married and she became pregnant very soon. She hired a doctor and spent a lot of money in secret to let the doctor tell that Shu Duan'er was pregnant with a daughter. .

Sun Shidu knelt down and begged, after all, the child was born, did he really want to crush him to death?Sun Shi naturally refused.

But the former wife's dowry was all taken care of, and the two sons and one daughter left behind had to go back to live for half a month every other month, and the people around her were all sent by the former wife's natal family.

Once Sun Shi showed a little favoritism, the other party would be able to pinch Sun Shi to death.

In such a situation, Mrs. Shu dared to make trouble, Shu Juan'er didn't know what to say.

"Then, what should we do next?" Mrs. Shu was afraid.

Old man Shu was also a little apprehensive.

"Don't do anything, and don't try to bully Mrs. Liu, the more you come to the door, the more pitiful Mrs. Liu will be, and the easier it will be to attract people's sympathy!" Shu Juan'er whispered.

"Then let's just do nothing and suffer this loss for nothing?" Mrs. Shu asked in a low voice.

In my heart, that is called hatred.

"Well, don't do anything, just live your own life!" Shu Juan'er said, paused and said, "How about Jin Zhi's marriage? Which one did you choose?"

As soon as Shu Jinzhi's marriage was mentioned, Mrs. Shu's expression was very bad, "I don't know what happened, those families suddenly stopped talking about their marriage, and they didn't go to our house, and even settled for other people!"

Pity her golden branch.

Mrs. Shu didn't understand, but Shu Juan'er figured it out after careful thought.

This is obviously because they feel that the Shu family's family style is not good and they can't teach good girls, so they don't want to get married.

But her parents didn't know it, so they ran to Shu Xin's house to make a fuss, let alone the girl's marriage, even a few nephews would be very difficult, who would marry a daughter to such a family, maybe one day My daughter will be kicked out of the house, and will be tortured so ruthlessly by her husband's family!
Shu Juan'er suddenly became anxious, "Mother..."

"What's the matter, what do you say?"

"Stop making trouble in the future. Have you ever thought about why Jin Zhi's marriage will fail?"

"It's not that those people have no vision..." Mrs. Shu's voice became softer as she spoke.Especially seeing that the old man Shu smoked a lot more energy.

Also recall it instantly.

This clearly means that she doesn't like the Shu family and doesn't want to get married anymore.

After a while, he stood up, sat down again decadently, took a deep breath, and suddenly couldn't say anything.

Old man Shu was puffing on his cigarette, and his mind was also in a mess.

If I had known earlier that I would not talk too much, if he hadn't said anything, Shen would naturally not have made a fuss, but now, his reputation is getting worse and worse, which directly affects the children.

Now the daughters-in-law haven't noticed it yet, if they do, the family will be in trouble...

They're all Amuna bastards, trying to provoke a widow, just caring about having a good time, not caring about their family members at all.

Old man Shu slapped his palm on the table, making Mrs. Shu and Shu Juan'er jump.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Mrs. Shu exclaimed.

Shu Juan'er also complained, "Father, what are you doing, you're so bland, it's scary!"

"It's all the bastard Amu..."

"Okay Dad, it's useless to complain about the third brother now. Now that the matter has come to this point, we can only break the pot and let the third brother marry the widow back. I heard that the widow is rich. very!"

This is what Shu Juaner cares about.

As for the rest, she didn't care at all.

"How rich?" Mrs. Shu couldn't help asking.

"There is a house in the town, and four or five shops are rented out. There may be hundreds of acres of land in the countryside. There are maids around, and there are maids for washing and cooking!" Shu Juan'er said, seeing her mother's eyes All red, and said, "Mother, now she is pregnant with Amu's child again, whether it is a son or a daughter, you can't do what you did to Liu Shi in the future!"

"No, no, no!" Mrs. Shu insisted.

Mrs. Liu has no one in her natal family. Even if she dies, no one will stand up for Mrs. Liu. Can't order it!

But the Ou family is different, the Ou family is rich.

Shu Amu still likes it, so she will naturally support Ou Shi, so she is not stupid to fight against her son.

In the future, I will have to rely on my sons for the elderly.

"That's good, Mom and Dad, since we're here, we'll stay for two more days before going back. There's not much work at home anyway!"

"it is good!"

The village head asked Shu Youkang to take him to the gate of the yamen in a carriage. After some inquiries, he learned that Zhencheng had gone to Lin County, and he had to go back to Shujia Village with a sigh.

"Father?" Shu Youkang called out in a low voice.

"It's okay, go back, let's come back another day!"

Zhencheng must meet the first time, otherwise the old man Shu's family will go on like this, and sooner or later the reputation of Shujia Village will be ruined.

Sister Shu Xin worked hard all afternoon, and finally stripped all the grass in the cotton field, and it was almost dark.

"Let's go, we'll weed tomorrow, let's make something delicious tonight!" Shu Xin twisted his sore waist.

He reached out and thumped.

Just what are you going to have for dinner?

There is only a little fat left in the meat, and the beans are all gone, and there are no vegetables, except for the eggs and flour.

"Cauliflower and I cook porridge at home, and cauliflower and I went to dig some wild vegetables, so we have wild vegetable pancakes, chopped green onions, and you boil some hot water to wash Douhua's hair and bathe, and you wash it too!"

No matter what, dinner always has to be full.

You have to clean up yourself too.

"Well, eldest sister, I will burn more, so you and second sister can take a shower when you come back!"

Shu Xin took the cauliflower to dig wild vegetables and didn't go far. There are a lot of shepherd's purse and horse head orchids in the countryside.

Soon I dug up half-backed horse head orchids, and picked them carefully when I went home.

Blanch in a pot.

Then put it in a bucket and soak it in cold water. Shu Xin quickly kneaded the flour, cut up the fat pork, and put it in a pan to fry. spare.

He picked up the horse head orchids and squeezed out the bitter water, chopped them into pieces and put them in a bowl of lard residue, cracked five eggs in them, added salt and stirred them, and waited until the porridge was ready, Shu Xin began to make pancakes.

Knead the balls one by one and add the stuffing, flatten them and bake them in a pan.

"It's time to set the meal!"

"Elder Sister, where can I eat it?" Douhua asked with a smile.

Scallion bathed her, washed her hair, and put on clean clothes. Her whole body smelled delicious.

In addition, it was in my own home, and the child's xinxing came out all at once.

"In my mother's room!"

"it is good!"

There is nothing at night, just porridge and pancakes with wild vegetables, but the whole family gathers around a small table and eats very happily.

The porridge is thick and sweet, and the wild vegetable pancakes are delicious.

After they were full, Shu Xin, cauliflower, and green onion all took a serious bath, and while they were sitting in Liu's room waiting for their hair to dry, they also made purses.

Last time there was no embroidery shed at home, but Shu Xin bought three later, and now he is teaching cauliflower and green onion with all his heart.

Liu said with a smile, "Learn from your eldest sister. Master Chu said back then that your eldest sister is the best learner, better than all of them!"

Liu didn't say who these were, everyone knew it by heart.

So Shu Xin's embroidery skills are good, and Liu Shi has no doubts at all.

Hearing this, Shu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

After embroidering a purse and drying her hair, Shu Xin said, "Mom, I'll take the cauliflower to town tomorrow morning!"

"What to do?"

"Buy some vegetables and meat, and stop by godfather's house to see if there is any embroidery work for me to do. If there is, I will take it back and do it slowly. Also, the well needs to be dug early, and a pig should be raised for the New Year. If we kill it, we don’t need to buy pork, we can also raise a few ducks and geese, and we can eat duck eggs and goose eggs, even if we kill them during the Chinese New Year, we can also eat meat!”

Seeing that Shu Xin had already made up his mind, Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement, "Let's take our time, and even if we want to buy, we should buy less, so as not to attract people's resentment!"

"Ok!"

What Shu Xin wanted most was to go to Zuixian Tower and sell a recipe to the cloth shopkeeper, so that he could sell more money and buy some food back. The family is full of people without labor, and there is no food to panic!

"Go to bed early, I have to go to town tomorrow morning!"

"Mom, go to bed early, too!"

Still sleeping with cauliflower and scallion, Shu Xin and bean curd, listening to the slight snoring of the three younger sisters, but Shu Xin couldn't fall asleep anyway.

I got up, put on my shoes, and walked out of the room slowly.

Sitting on the steps at the entrance of the main room, looking at the sky full of stars, thinking that it was just over a month, and she had experienced so many, more sorrows and separations than she had in the previous moment.

Shu Xin took a deep breath.

For this reason, she decided to take the risk, and went to the town tomorrow to sell a complicated recipe of a big dish to the cloth shopkeeper, and the lion asked for 200 taels of silver!
