Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 402 Ah He

After comforting Ahe for a while, Ahe finally stopped crying, and Amei went to throw a handkerchief over her to wipe her face. Ahe sniffed and said, "The older you get, the more unpopular you are, sister-in-law, What do you think daddy thinks, is it easier for him to live without his children?"

Li Xin and Xing'er looked at each other, but they were actually not very happy to say anything to Guan Ming.Guan Ming and them couldn't get along at all, and now they have torn their skins and don't communicate with each other, so they don't have the right to gossip about the father-in-law later.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Your father has that temper, so don't be angry, Ah He."

Xing'er said: "It's a rare time to come back, don't lose your good mood. Don't mention anything else, your elder brother and second brother are very happy to see you come back."

A-He sighed and said, "Yes, no matter what happens to Dad, I still have my elder brother and my second elder brother who are happy for me to come back."

Li Xin asked A-mei to scoop up a bowl of white fungus and red dates soup for A-he to drink, and asked her: "I see that you look good, are you healthy?"

"In the past few months, I feel that my health is much better." Ahe smiled, and looked at Li Xin with more gratitude: "My sister-in-law is right to persuade me, women, you can't wait for a man to hurt you." , I have to treat myself better first. When I go back, I drink brown sugar water every month, and I also soak my feet in hot water. I try not to touch cold water at ordinary times, and my complexion is much better."

"That's good." Li Xin said with a smile: "After recuperating the body, it will be easier to have children."

"Nowadays, Yuexin's day is much more accurate than before, and there is nothing wrong with my own estimation of the day." A'he nodded, his face slightly embarrassed: "I was also thinking about when I would be able to conceive a baby. After all, I still want to have a son." It’s a bit of a guarantee... Girls always have to get married, and you can’t rely on girls to do it for retirement.”

Xing'er persuaded: "How old are you, why do you think so far ahead, what will happen decades later."

While talking, Amei came over with white fungus and red dates soup, took a tray, and poured more than one bowl, a total of four bowls, and no one left a bowl for each person.

A-He looked at A-Mei up and down and said with a smile: "A-Mei has become more prudent in her work and considers everything comprehensively. Of course, I can't drink this soup alone."

A-mei blushed slightly, and A-He asked Li Xin again: "Sister-in-law, is A-mei's in-law's family still satisfied with her?"

"Satisfied." Li Xin said with a smile: "We went to Wei's house a few days ago, and Mrs. Wei was full of praise for A-mei. A-mei is not bad in appearance, and she is quiet, and she will be liked by her future mother-in-law. The brothers of the Wei family are also good, this marriage is not bad."

"That's good." Ahe paused before softly saying: "Amei's marriage has been settled, so... what about Axiu?"

Ahe only thought that Axiu's conditions were there. She was old and lived in the town, so it was not easy to find a husband's family, so she was more careful in asking, for fear of annoying Li Xin—after all, Axiu's marriage depended on her. Li Xin came to arrange it. If she, as a sister, asked too honestly, no matter how reasonable the sister-in-law was, she would feel uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Xing'er burst out laughing, winked at her sister-in-law, and bumped her with her elbow.

Li Xin rolled her eyes at Xing'er, looked at Ahe with a smile and said, "Axiu's marriage... I'm waiting for this too!"

Ahe's arrival naturally allowed Guan Wen and Guan Wu to have a good meal together. Li Xin tidied up Axiu's room for Ahe, mother and daughter to sleep in. After washing up, Amei went to Ahe's room and wanted to have a private conversation with her own sister.

Li Xin wore a long coat and held a candlestick to illuminate them, and poured them two cups of warm water to drink.

A-He retracted her legs and said, "Sister-in-law, let's sit down and have a chat."

"I don't need to. You sisters are whispering, and I'm listening, and my sister is too embarrassed to say it."

"How can there be..." A-mei said softly: "My sister-in-law taught me many things, so there is nothing that my sister-in-law can't know."

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "Just say what you want, I won't be listening. But also pay attention to the time, don't sleep too late. Since Ah He is here, he will definitely stay for a few more days, sister, you have more It's time to talk to your third sister."

A-mei nodded, but A-He pulled Li Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, sit down, let's talk together. I'm serious, there are some things I want to mention to you, sister-in-law, and ask you for advice."

Li Xin thought for a while, but didn't think about going back to the house, so he simply sat down next to the edge of the bed.

The eldest girl and the second girl were already asleep leaning against the inner side of the bed, Ahe sat cross-legged on one side, and Amei was snuggling up to her next to her.

"I'm living a good life right now." Ahe laughed and said, "Ever since Brother Qiang brought me and the big girl Erniu out of the house, I rented a shop by myself and sold it in front of me. In the future, we will live here, and it is only when we live by ourselves that we can show our status. It was really difficult at the beginning, but fortunately there were his friends to help, so we didn’t go hungry. Gradually, the business improved, and there were more repeat customers. Money is getting more and more abundant.”

Li Xin laughed and said, "It's because of your hard work and willingness to endure hardship."

"Yes, as a human being and doing things, we must not be lazy, nor can we not endure hardships. As the saying goes, we can only be superior if we endure hardships." A-He also laughed and said: "Although we are not superior, we must at least eat Well fed and warmly clothed, seeing that the children don’t need to suffer, I feel more relieved after all.”

A-mei put her arms around A-He's shoulder, and A-He patted her hand and said, "Your third sister has survived a bit, and I hope that you and your fifth sister will marry well and be someone else's daughter-in-law." Don't be angry."

A-mei said softly, "Third sister won't have to be angry with your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future."

"It's not certain." Ahe sighed: "In the final analysis, they are also your brother-in-law's relatives, and you can't live without seeing each other. During the holidays, your brother-in-law will still sneak back with big bags. ——He is also afraid that people will gossip, saying that he is prosperous and rich, but he is not filial to his elders and so on."

Li Xin bent his lips: "Third sister, among other things, you must hold the big head of money in your hands. With money at hand, you can speak confidently. No matter how noisy your father-in-law and mother-in-law are, you have money, you have the right to speak.”

A-He nodded: "Yes, I have been listening to you, sister-in-law, and I keep all the money by myself."

"Will brother-in-law be unhappy?" A-mei asked softly.

A-He shook his head: "Your brother-in-law gave his parents the money he earned earlier, and he doesn't know how to manage money. The money is handed over to me, and I will give everything for food, clothing and drinking. When he takes care of it, he feels satisfied, and it saves him a lot of things.”

Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law just doesn't mind, but don't be too harsh on him."

Ahe paused for a moment, and Li Xin said: "You guys are living a better life now. He is also in the noodle restaurant business and welcomes customers. There must be more and more people making friends with him from all directions, and he must be friends with him." More and more. He wants to make friends, and he can't do without some money around him. Men have a good face outside, and whoever pays for the dinner together is the uncle. You can't just block him from paying for the dinner and drink, he You'll feel like you've let him down."

"I'm in control of this." Ahe nodded and said, "Usually we do business in the morning and close the shop in the afternoon. Sometimes he goes out for a walk, and I will give him a little money and tell him He bought some snacks for the big girl and the second girl."

"That's good." Li Xin said with a smile: "Your idea is good, reminding him that there are still two daughters in his family who need him to coax."

A-He smiled, but the smile faded again: "There is one more thing, but I still can't let it go."

Thinking that A'He insisted on pulling her to sit down and talk about something, this should be the topic.

Li Xin said seriously, "What's the matter?"

A-He exhaled lightly, and said, "It's still about my thin dowry."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows and signaled A-He to continue, and A-He confided: "The dowry, Brother Qiang didn't move away when I came out to do business on my own. I was so busy at that time, I didn't expect this There are many things. When the business is on the right track, I thought of this, and told Brother Qiang to bring the dowry box back. "

Ahe said: "The dowry does not seem to be very valuable, but when I married, the dowry was already very generous. Then it was my elder brother who spent all his money to buy it for me. The cost of food and clothing has been taken into account everywhere, and new clothes and bedding have been worn one after another over the years, not to mention some fabrics and the like. Not to mention, the box alone is also the second brother and the fourth brother. I personally typed it for me when I was planning to go to the fields to take care of the land, regardless of whether it is strong or not, it is also the second and fourth brother's wishes."

Li Xin paused and asked: "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law withheld your dowry, and you are not allowed to take it out?"

Ahe sighed, "The dowry has already been tossed by my sister-in-law, and the good fabrics have been taken away by her, and there is not much left. I used to pay attention not to let the box It bumped and bumped, but the last time I went back to see it, there were many stripes on the top of the box. My sister-in-law said proudly that her son was smart and wanted to learn crafts at such a young age. There are gestures to engrave something on the box."

A-He looked at Li Xin: "You said how old is that little man, playing with knives! I don't even mention that, kids are naughty and see everything new, they play with knives and fire, who doesn't do that? But her mother, when she saw her son playing with a knife, she was so proud... Sister-in-law, what do you think she is doing?"

Li Xin remained silent, and Ah He said: "Later, Brother Qiang and I moved the box away, and when we went back to our home to look at our box, we still felt very angry."

A-mei gently supported A-He's chest and said, "Sister San, don't be angry."

Li Xin looked at Ahe: "You said you can't let go, is it because of the little grandson of the Luo family playing with knives, or because of your dowry?"

Ah He sighed: "Half and half."

Li Xin smiled and said, "You are really kind-hearted. My parents didn't say anything, so you don't need to talk too much."

Ahe paused: "...Looking at that child, I'm afraid he won't learn well. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are always hurting me, and my sister-in-law basically doesn't care about my son."

Li Xin smiled lightly.
