Chapter 70
When I got home, I talked to Mrs. Liu, quickly changed into blue clothes and braided my hair, and went to the old patriarch's house.

When the sons of the old patriarch saw Shu Xin approaching, they couldn't help sighing.

Every child knew to come over to express condolences, but no one from the Shu family has come over until now.

"Go and offer incense sticks to the old patriarch, let's kowtow three times!" The village head gave the incense to Shu Xin.

Shu Xin took it and stepped forward, saluted three times respectfully, kowtowed again, and put the incense into the incense burner, thinking of the old man who helped their family out of the sea of ​​suffering, his eyes were slightly red.

No matter how brilliant and strong he was, he will still be a handful of loess after death.

There is nothing better than being with your family when you are alive, and the family is happy and happy.

After all, Shu Xin was a girl, and she was not needed for cleaning up, so the village chief asked her to go home first.

On the day the old patriarch goes out for funeral, just come over for dinner.

Shu Xin returned home, feeling a little depressed, sitting at the bottom of the steps alone, staring at the sky in a daze.

Liu went to Shu Xin and sat down, "What's wrong?"

Shu Xin glanced at Liu Shi, shook his head and remained silent.

She misses her parents and friends, but she also knows that she can't go back.

If you go back again, what will the family do?
It doesn't matter whether she is sentimental or moaning about nothing, she has feelings for this family.

Mrs. Liu reached out to hug Shu Xin, "Don't think too much, those people have nothing to do with us, no matter who he marries, or how many sons he will have in the future, we don't care about it, just live our lives wholeheartedly!"

Even in the past, she felt that ten taels of silver were much better, but now that she holds dozens of taels in her hand, she feels nothing but confidence.

As for Shu'am, even though it's only been more than a month, it seems like a long time has passed, she can't even remember his appearance, it's a bit ridiculous to say it.

"What mother said is true, I listen to mother!"

Shu Xin took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his emotions.

The farce of the Shu family is still not over.

The mess in the house and the ground needs to be cleaned up, but none of the daughters-in-law will move, and the old lady is determined not to do it. In the end, there are only three brothers, Shu'acheng, Shu'ashan, and Shu Youtian, cleaning inside and out. After washing, I didn't even have a mouthful of hot water after a lot of work.

Let alone dinner.

There was no rice, no water, no salt in the house, so Shu'acheng had no choice but to hitch a carriage and ask Mrs. Shu to take the money and go to the town to buy it.

This time when Shu'am got married, not to mention joy, it was full of bad luck.

It's just that everyone was depressed and didn't say anything.

After one night, Ou Shi thought clearly, she wanted to go back to the town, Shu Amu naturally agreed, but going now is not very good, so she had to stay at home for ten and a half months, so Ou Shi had to agree gently .

The weather was very hot, but the burial of the old patriarch was delayed for a long time, and it would not be until July. The students and friends who turned out to be the old patriarch also had to send the obituary.

In the final calculation, the old patriarch was buried first, and the mourning hall was still set up, so people came to express their condolences.

The day of burial is at 27.

It's not easy for Liu Shi to go out, so Shu Xin will go.

When Shu Xin arrived at the old patriarch's house, Mrs. Niu took Shu Xin to sit at the table, that is, the Shu family. Mrs. Shu began to curse when she saw Shu Xin, but Shu Xinquan pretended not to hear it.

Today is the day of the old patriarch, she can't cause trouble.

Mrs. Shu was persistent, but in the end it was her own reputation and her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter's marriage that were ruined.

Now they are two families, and she will not behave if she is scolded a few times.

But Shu Xin didn't say a word, but others couldn't stand it, so they had to comfort Shu Xin a few words.

Then he went to Mrs. Shu and said, "Auntie, today is the old patriarch's big day. Are you not afraid to make the old patriarch angry with your nagging?"

"It's none of your business if I talk about me!" Mrs. Shu shouted angrily.

"It's none of my business, but don't worry, whose territory is it on today? Your two sons-in-law are really powerful, but the old patriarch's son is also a wealthy family in the county town!"

Mrs. Shu snorted coldly, fearful in her heart, and did not dare to say any more.

But a few talkative daughters-in-law and mother-in-law in the village started talking on the sidelines.

"I don't know what this Mrs. Shu is so embarrassed about? Doesn't she know why her Zhencheng son-in-law knelt at the door of the Zuixian Tower that day? This time Shu Amu didn't come to get married. I think it won't be long before Shu Duan'er will Divorced!"

"Who wants to have such a natal family, Shu Duan'er is really unlucky!"

"That's right, if I were Mrs. Shu, don't say it out loud, it's better to stay at home safely!"

Mrs. Shu was furious when she heard this, and slapped the table.

"Who are you bastards talking about?"

The mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law are also very powerful, and someone immediately responded, "Whoever responds is talking about that!"

"You bitch, I tore you up!" Mrs. Shu swore and rushed over.

But these mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law always hugged each other, when Mrs. Shu rushed over, they pulled and pinched Mrs. Shu.

"Oops, oops!"

Shu Jinzhi turned pale with fright.

Mrs. Han and Mrs. Zhao just watched, neither persuading nor stepping forward to help. Mrs. Xu wanted to help, but she was afraid. Those women and daughters-in-law looked very powerful.She dare not.

Shu Xuemei, Shu Fangfei, and Shu Yihui were also anxious, but they had never seen such a scene before, and they were all stunned.

Mrs. Shu was quickly cleaned up into a very messy situation, and those who watched the excitement from the sidelines didn't think it was a big deal, and kept smiling.

Shu Xin didn't say anything, but he said bitterly in his heart, he deserved it.

"stop!"

A deep scolding sound came out, with strong anger.

Several mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped immediately, and Mrs. Shu finally got herself, and wanted one of them to rush over, but was kicked to the ground.

"Enough!" The man yelled angrily before he said, "Today is my father's funeral, I am very grateful to you for coming to send my father off for the last time. If you want to fight, you can fight outside. Life and death have nothing to do with our family. If you fight at this house, it's not giving me face, don't blame me for holding grudges and looking for opportunities to retaliate!"

Several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law quickly said good things, and blamed everything on Mrs. Shu.

Mrs. Shu's face turned blue with anger, but she didn't dare to say a word.

This is the eldest son of the old patriarch. He has a shop and a house in the county, and his annual income is vain.

How dare she provoke her son-in-law who would nod and bow when seeing him.

Angrily got up, said a few words, and sat back in his seat.

Seeing that the daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and daughter were all clean, no one stepped forward to help her when she was being bullied, and the villagers were only watching the fun, let alone saying a word, and suddenly felt chilled.

Shu Xin lowered his head and sat next to Niu.

Niu Shi stretched out his hand to push Shu Xin, Shu Xin pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Niu Shi, his eyes sparkled, and Niu Shi knew that Shu Xin was happy, so he also laughed.

After eating tofu rice and sending the old patriarch to be buried, Shu Xin returned home.

Talking about the matter with Liu's, cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd, the mother and the others suddenly laughed and leaned forward.

"Yes!" Liu said angrily.

Liu Shi naturally hated Mrs. Shu.

Cauliflower, chopped green onion, and bean curd nodded heavily, agreeing with Mrs. Liu's words very much.

The girls laughed together again.

When Mrs. Shu returned home, she said she was uncomfortable and sent someone to invite Dr. Luo.

After Dr. Luo felt the pulse of Mrs. Shu, he sighed slightly, "Take a good rest!"

Nothing wrong with it at all, just pissed off.

But Doctor Luo was curious, who could be angry with a brazen person like Mrs. Shu?
After prescribing the medicine, Dr. Luo left.

Mrs. Shu called her four sons to her, "Now that I'm sick, let your daughters-in-law take turns waiting for me!"

Shu'acheng, Shu'ashan, and Shu Youtian all thought it should be.

Shu Amu said lightly, "Yunniang is pregnant, so she won't come here, if it's really not possible, let the maid beside her come over instead, mother thinks it's feasible?!"

"Row!"

Mrs. Shu wanted to deal with the Han family and the Zhao family.

Ou's Yunniang didn't bother to pay attention to it for the time being.

"Since she won't come to serve, let her pay for the medicine!"

Shu Amu laughed angrily when he heard it, "Mother is really calculating, I have no money in my hand, but Yunniang's money belongs to Yunniang, and besides, it's not like my mother has no money, why would you ask a new daughter-in-law Want money? I think my mother's complexion is rosy, she doesn't seem to be sick, what do you want to do, mother?"

The seven orifices of Mrs. Shu's anger produce smoke.

Originally two points sick to five points out of anger.

"Okay Shu'amu, I gave birth to you and raised you. Is that how you talk to me?"

"It's true that my mother gave birth to me, but it's not right to raise me. How much work I have done and how much money I have earned these years, I have not left a single child, and I have given it all to you, let alone raising me alone. Even if ten are enough, tell my mother today, after a few days, I will take Yunniang to live in the town, since this family does not welcome me, I will go far away, so as not to be disgusted by others!"

"Third brother, how can you talk to mother like this!" Shu Acheng said displeased.

"That's right, third brother, apologize to mother!" Shu Ashan also hurriedly said.

"Third brother, please apologize to mother!" Shu Youtian pushed Shu Amu.

Shu Amu sneered, "You are all good sons, I am a bad son, you just take care of yourself, what do you care about me?"

After Shu Amu finished speaking, he pushed Shu Youtian away and walked outside.

He really wanted to take Yunniang to the town now and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

In this Shu's house, the whole house is full of smog.

When Yunniang saw Shu Amu came back, she quickly talked to Shu Amu gently and carelessly, coaxing Shu Amu to feel at ease.

"Amu, why not, let's move to the town. If you go on like this, you'll lose weight. My heart aches!"

Shu Amu didn't want to wait either, the two made up their minds.

It is better to hit the day than to choose a day, so I moved today.

There are also a lot of things to pack, Ou Shiyun Niang means, just pack it up and put it away, you don't need to take it to the town, and you will occasionally come back to live in the future, just take the valuable jewelry with you.Shu Amu went to hitch a carriage, regardless of whether the family agreed or not, he took Yun Niang, two maids, and a woman and left.

After Mrs. Shu found out, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

If she had known, she wouldn't have let Shu'am leave the Liu family, at least Shu'am was still obedient, but now it's fine, his back is stiff, so he can leave as soon as he says it.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Shu decided to let her daughters-in-law take care of her.

One person takes turns one day at a time.

The first day was Han's.

Mrs. Han was doing it under the window with her shoes. She didn't care if Mrs. Shu wanted to drink water, go to the latrine, or eat.

Just work there for a day.

Mrs. Shu was crying angrily, Han looked at her coldly, and said in a strange way, "Mother, let Jin Zhi take care of her, lest I take the key of mother's wardrobe and steal the money box to frame her, my sister-in-law's conscience It's really bad, mother should keep a close eye on Shu Jinzhi, lest I be in a bad mood that day and strangle her to death!"

Mrs. Shu's eyes widened in fright.

How dare Han shi speak to her like that, "Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng..."

Shu Amu hurried in, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Your daughter-in-law, she has such a poisonous mind that she wants to strangle me to death, so you divorce her!"

Shu'acheng was stunned.

Divorce?

What did Han Shi do wrong?He also gave birth to a son and a daughter, and besides, Han's natal brothers are very tough.

If he repaired the Han family, he would be beaten and disabled.

"Hehe, divorce me? If you Shu'acheng dare to divorce me, I will let my brother break your leg!"

After Han finished speaking, she turned around and left the room, went back to pack her things and prepared to go back to her mother's house.

Shu'acheng called out anxiously for his mother, and went to persuade Han Shi again, almost knelt down to Han Shi, and only then did Han stay.

Mrs. Han just looked at Shu'acheng so coldly, "In the past, when she was training Liu's family, I watched with cold eyes, thinking that the matter had nothing to do with me, but now she wants to train me, but there is no door for you. Good sister, it was your own mother who instigated Fang Fei to be beaten by Ah Xin back then, Shu'acheng, let me warn you, if you behave like Shu'amu, my natal brother will not spare you!"

"I promise, I won't learn from my third brother, I will always listen to you in the future!"

Only then did Han snort coldly, ignoring Shu'acheng.

The first time she made a fuss, Mrs. Shu didn't make a fuss with Mrs. Han.

The next day when Mrs. Zhao was serving, Mrs. Shu stopped making trouble, and Mrs. Zhao didn't say much, and read the book with peace of mind.

Mrs. Zhao is literate and can read books.

Mrs. Shu was very envious, "Speaking of which, I'm still illiterate!"

Zhao's classical language, looking at Mrs. Shu.

It's just that I can't read, and I don't know how to write etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame.

A good life, but it's just a life of chaos.

"What does mother want to say?"

Mrs. Shu thought for a while before saying, "Did I do something wrong before?"

wrong.Big mistake.

"Mother did some things wrong. Among other things, several children in the family have to take the examination of scholar. The county magistrate not only depends on knowledge, but also on family. In the future, mother should think twice before acting for the sake of several children. Yes!" Mrs. Zhao said, seeing Mrs. Shu's complexion is not good, she said again, "Only when they are well, can we happily move out of Shu's Village and go to the outside world, mother envies those wives in the play ?”

"Naturally I'm envious!"

"As long as Yiran and the others have a promising future, mother can be the imperial wife!"

"Really, really?" Mrs. Shu asked hurriedly.

Zhao nodded.

"Then I, then I..." Mrs. Shu's blood boiled.

As long as she becomes the imperial wife, who would dare to bully her or look down on her.

"Then what shall I do?"

"Mother doesn't have to do anything, just stay at home and take care of the house!"

Mrs. Shu thinks it makes sense.

In the past, her grandson and granddaughter were very close to her, but now that she is sick, she can't see anyone when she walks around one by two.

"What you said makes sense, I listen to you!"

Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath and exhaled again.

Thinking of what I warned Shu Ashan last night, thinking of Shu Amu slamming the door and leaving with his head down.

But she doesn't regret saying and doing that.

She didn't want to ruin her daughter and son.

The house of Shu Xin's family was going to be built on two floors. Naturally, it took a few more days than last time, and there was a lot more wood. After the house was repaired, the tiles were built, and the floor was nailed.The courtyard wall was made of wood. It was already the sixth day of June, and the weather was even hotter.

Shu Xin gave the rest of the money to Zhao Baotou, looking at the new house, his eyes were slightly red with a smile.

Shu Youkang's senior brother sent over the bed, table, stool, wardrobe, and wooden windows on the seventh day of the lunar new year.

Shu Xin likes the kind of windows that can be pushed out, which can make the room brighter, but the price is a bit more expensive, and Shu Xin doesn't care.

By the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, everything in the house had been done. During this period, Shu Xin ran back and forth, and the busy people also got tanned.

But Shu Xin was happy in her heart. Her room was on the innermost side. The door was opened in the middle of the two rooms. The innermost room was used for beds, wardrobes, and tables, and the outer room was used for her embroidery racks.

The next room is Dou Hua's room, and one of the three cauliflower and Dou Hua rooms on the opposite side is selected, and the remaining room is used to store food.

The jars and cabinets inside are full of food.

The next step is to dig a pool behind Shu Xin's house, and Shu Xin is going to use it to raise fish and plant lotus roots, so he called Hu Zi and the third grandpa to come over to work. It took them two busy days to dig a depth of more than one meter. , The two-meter-wide and five-meter-long pool draws water in from the creek, and builds bamboo on the side to lead the water out.

On the side, Shu Xin planned to grow some vegetables, and when the weather got colder, he would dig some fruit trees from the mountains and plant them.

In the open space behind the house, Shu Xin brought cauliflower and green onion to make soil and sprinkled cabbage seeds. In the middle of the yard in front of the room, he also piled up soil and planted Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum.

After working so hard until June [-]th, the well in the house poured water every day, but there was no water at all, and Shu Xin was a little discouraged.

This time when repairing the house, Shu Xin didn't plan to serve wine or treat guests to dinner, but he still killed the chicken and called Huzi, the third grandpa, and the third grandma to come over and have a delicious meal.

It was inevitable to talk about the unsatisfactory well again, and the third grandpa thought for a long time before saying, "Why don't you go to the mountains and bring some clean spring water to try?"

"Don't worry about it. I think it's cloudy these two days. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. Let's talk about it after it rains!" Shu Xin said.

Going to the mountains to carry spring water, the job finally fell on Huzi.

Shu Xin looked at the charcoal-like Hu Zi, and he still felt sorry for this Hu Zi brother.

"Alright, let's talk about it in a few days!"

On June [-]th, the entire Conghe Town was hit by heavy rain, and many places were flooded, but the unsatisfactory well began to seep water, slowly upward, first yellow muddy water, and finally more and more The clearer it became, and then the well was so quietly full that water could be scooped up with a ladle.

Shu Xin heaved a sigh of relief.

After tidying up the inside and outside of the house again, Shu Xin calmed down to do embroidery work.

Occasionally, I would think of the uncle whose name I don’t know, and think about how to give him shoes and clothes, but the person who delivered the things never brought anything.

When he was tired from doing embroidery work, Shu Xin couldn't help but wonder if these two people might be the same...
