Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 62

At noon, when Xiuyao came back, they thought that there would be a storm at home, but they found it was very calm, a little too quiet.She glanced at Xiurong, and Xiurong gave her a wink, let's talk about it later.

Mrs. Zhang has already got off the kang, directing people to do this and that, sweeping away the previous decadent and complaining attitude, which surprised everyone.

The second aunt still wanted to make trouble, so she said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, those little girls are playing tricks for nothing? If you don't tell dad, they will take care of them, or they will be really lawless. The size is up and down, that Xiu Xian is so strong that she dares to beat the second lady, and even scolds you."

The third aunt also looked at her, wanting to hear what Mrs. Zhang had to say. She thought that even if she didn't fight, she had to order the big house in front of her family, so as to give those girls some memory.

Who knows that Mrs. Zhang said: "You are also wrong. You said that you are an elder, you are going to argue with a girl, and you are arguing with others about who eats more and takes more. They have a lot of families and work a lot. Why don’t you think so? You just find things to piss me off all day long. Besides, this is a family, why care about so much? No matter how much you do and eat, don’t you all eat me and your father? What?"

The second aunt was dumbfounded when she heard this, why is it her fault?Not going to split up?Before the father-in-law let the elder sister-in-law be the head of the house, the mother-in-law was so angry that she wanted to drive the eldest house out?Now the girls in the big house are arguing with their elders, that is treason, and if they dare to threaten her mother, shouldn't they be beaten?Why is nothing wrong?

The second aunt turned to look at the third aunt, and the third aunt immediately smiled and said: "Mother is right, the second sister-in-law told me when she was working in the field, we are a bit reckless, and we should not be as knowledgeable as a little girl." , we should be more generous and not be so stingy. Second sister-in-law, right?" As she spoke, she winked at her second aunt.

The second aunt was so angry that she snorted and turned to eat.

In the evening, when everyone came back from the field, Mrs. Liu also came back from her job as a helper at Zhou's house, and as soon as she entered the house, she bumped into her second aunt.

The second aunt was angry and wanted to ignore her, but remembering what the third aunt said, if you want to separate the family, you have to please your parents-in-law, and you can't let people catch their mistakes. If they are kicked out, they have to get money back home every month.

At noon, when she learned that Mrs. Liu was back, she thought there was a trouble, but Mrs. Zhang said that Mrs. Liu would just come back, and didn't say anything.That's why Second Aunt didn't have any fears. She was even a little proud when she saw Mrs. Liu, but she forced a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, you're back."

If in the past, Mrs. Liu must have smiled and said kindly back, and then the two of them gossiped, even if the second aunt didn't take the initiative to say hello, Mrs. Liu would have greeted her with a smile.Who knows that Liu Shi didn't even look at her today, just snorted indifferently, and then walked past her without looking sideways.

The second aunt was stunned, and she was left alone. She was so angry, but she couldn't help it, so she could only sneer coldly: "What are you dragging, it's just helping a broken job, it's really heaven."

Mrs. Liu ignored her when she heard that, and greeted her parents-in-law first when she entered the house, and then each of them tidied up and prepared to eat.

After the meal, everyone went about their work as usual. Liu took out a small flower bag from the basket, opened it, and there were a few pretty little purses in it, made of scraps of silk and satin, with simple and delicate embroidery on it. Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and other patterns.

Xiuyao saw it and said in surprise, "Mother, it's so beautiful!"

Liu Shi smiled, "Pick one if you like."

Xiuyao looked at her in surprise, her mother's needlework was good, but every stitch and thread made money, it was impossible to embroider her own home, in the words of the nanny, it was a waste of time, fabric and thread, absolutely not allowed.The sun came out in the west now?Or does Mother feel guilty because she didn't seek justice for Third Sister?
Xiuyao heard what the third sister said, and she was a little disappointed to see the third sister, because although the mother saw that Xiurong was beaten and Xiuqin cried until her eyes were swollen, she didn't break the face with the second aunt, and said something to the nanny In the end, Mammy was happy, and instead of pretending to be sick, she lay down on the kang, and jumped down to the ground, cheerfully as if nothing had happened.

Although Xiuyao can't figure it out, but such a good opportunity in front of her, don't let it go for nothing, she has long been envious of her mother's embroidery work, and the lotus embroidery on the insole is just like real work.

Xiuyao glanced at it, and there were five small purses in total, crimson, lake green, pea green, sky blue, and snow blue, each of which was embroidered with broken branches of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the other was embroidered with a branch of peach blossom.

Xiuyao looked at this and that, her eyes were dazzled, she liked all of them, she couldn't put it down.

Liu said softly: "Yaoyao, pick the one you like the most."

Xiuyao wondered: "Mom, I like them all."

Liu said with a smile: "You can only choose one. People must be able to make choices. They can't want everything, and they can't be too hesitant. If it's too late, it's gone. If you choose, you can't go back on your word."

Xiuyao hummed, and at this time Xiurong and the others also came in, seeing the purse on the kang, Xiurong said, "It's so bright, mother, I want it too."

When Xiuyao heard this, she reached out and grabbed her favorite branch of peach blossom in her hand. As soon as Xiurong saw it, she snatched the purse embroidered with orchids, and the rest of Xiuxian took a chrysanthemum one. The one who took the plum blossoms was left with one embroidered with bamboo.

Xiuyao asked: "Mother, this is for the lamb, right?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head and put that away, "This is for your aunt."

Xiuting saw it lying on the door, turned her head and ran out to talk to Xiujuan and Xiumei, and they went to the East Wing to ask their mothers for it.

When the second aunt heard it, she said angrily: "You stupid girl with shallow eyelids, you are greedy for everything, you think your mother can't embroider, you can find someone who can embroider."

The third aunt laughed and said, "Why are you blaming the child? Your mother is in charge. All the needles and threads at home are with your elder sister. We just sew and patch by ourselves. There is no way to embroider. You can ask your mother to ask for it."

Xiumei pursed her lips, "Third Niangniang, how can my mother have it, she won't give it if she has it."

The third aunt said with a smile: "We don't have a separated family now. Your aunt and elder sister are in charge of the needles and threads at home. Naturally, she wants what she wants. If she can give it to her daughter, why can't she give it to you? Of course you take care of her. But you have to let Mammy know. Madam embroiders purses for her own daughter, not for you."

Mrs. Zhang is the most stingy person. With the time and needlework, she naturally wants to embroider to make money. My house is dilapidated, what is there to dress up, what kind of purse to wear, embroidery, and satin, so poor.

When Xiumei and the others heard this, they immediately ran to the East Room and said to Liu Shi, "Ma'am, where is our purse?"

Mrs. Liu took a look at them and said, "There are none of you at the moment."

Xiujuan said angrily: "Why don't we have it? Why are you so partial, and you hide the good things for your daughter?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, and said lightly: "Is this the attitude you should have towards elders? Go back and ask your mother, can I beat you?"

Xiujuan froze for a moment, then felt angry and ashamed, "Why did you hit me?" Then she ran away.Xiumei and Xiutinghe who were behind gave Xiuyao a few hateful glances, then turned and ran away.

The three of them went back to the east chamber, and the third aunt glanced at them, "You don't want it?"

Xiujuan nodded and said angrily, "She still wants to hit me."

The second aunt pulled her neck, "She dares!"

The third aunt told her to be calm and not to be impatient, "you can go to the mother-in-law."

When Xiumei and the others heard this, they immediately said: "Let's go!" After speaking, they rushed to the west room.

Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the kang, guarding the small kang table and distributing tinder. Since Xiuyao made old Qintou the king of fire, old Qintou saved velvet when he smoked, which is not bad.

At this moment, a few maids rushed in, "Mommy, we also want to embroider purses."

Mrs. Zhang turned her head to look at them, "What purse, you are not Miss Qianjin, what kind of embroidered purse do you want?"

Xiumei said: "Then why do they have such beauty?"

Xiu Ting shouted, "Xiu Yao has them too."

Mrs. Zhang asked in surprise, "Where did you come from?"

Xiujuan immediately said: "They all have what the aunt made, but they don't give it to us."

Mrs. Zhang got angry when she heard this. This eldest daughter-in-law is getting more and more excessive. She has a little kung fu, not to mention doing some needlework to subsidize the family, but doing those useless things.She raised her voice: "Dayeniang, Dayeniang."

Mrs. Liu heard it, came over slowly, glanced at those girls, the beautiful girls snorted, and looked at her hostilely.Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows, and turned to look at Mrs. Zhang, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhang asked the maids to go out, and Mrs. Liu to close the door. She said, "Da Yeniang, what's the matter with you? You also know that our family is in a difficult situation. I wish I could break it into eight-petaled flowers. Why are you still doing those things that cost money?" Toy?"

Return satin and embroidery, isn't that money?

Mrs. Liu smiled, "Mother, my daughter-in-law didn't make this for her family on purpose. Mrs. Zhou wanted to embroider a batch of purses for the girls, and asked me to help with color matching and patterns, and also asked me to take a few wives to fight After the selection, there are only a few left."

Xiujuan curled her lips, "Then why aren't we here?"

Mrs. Liu ignored her, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, if you work in the Zhou family, even if you have time, they will let you rest and raise your eyes. It is impossible to do your own private work." If you have a little time, it is better to do some needlework for your own home in exchange for money.

After she finished speaking, she went out. Although Mrs. Zhang was a little choked by her, she was also a little anxious, so she glared at Xiujuan angrily, "Why are there so many things going on?"

Xiumei was still not convinced, "Even if it was for the family, why didn't the aunt give it to the nanny, and ask the nanny to distribute it to the elder sister who deserves it? If we don't want the eldest sister and the second sister, why should we have Xiurong and Xiuyao? "

Regardless of the family, it belongs to the big guy. Why should she only give her own children.That's true, but Mrs. Zhang can't talk to Mrs. Liu about such a trivial matter, and Mrs. Liu only gave her face.

She hummed: "Young girl, why are there so many problems? It's good to have food and drink, but you still want to look good? Don't urinate and take care of yourself."

Xiujuan and her family felt aggrieved and went out, muttering to the people in the big room on purpose that Qin Dafu was weaving straw sandals and didn't know what was going on. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiumei, what's the matter? Did you argue with someone? Look at that mouth, it's all oily."

Xiumei snorted, ignored her, turned and left.

Qin Dafu has a good temper and doesn't care about it. He smiled and said to Old Qin: "These girls are good at temper."

Old Qintou, who was busy sharpening his scythe beside him, snorted, "It's because you have a good temper, why don't you call her big ears?"

It happened that Ergui was combing cattails with an iron comb, and he was angry when he saw that his daughter was ignorant, but when he heard what his father said, he immediately became angry, stood up and shouted: "Xiumei, come here!"

Xiumei was taken aback, her father dared not stop, hurried over, and asked in a low voice, "Father, what's the matter?"

Qin Ergui is not as loyal and kind as his eldest brother, nor as playful and smiling as his third brother. He is a bit genious. He raised his hand and slapped the beautiful buttocks, and cursed: "Who gave you the ability? Your uncle talks to you, your What kind of virtue? Who did you learn from? Huh?"

Xiumei cried immediately, "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Er Gui hit him again in anger, Qin Dafu hurriedly said: "He Er Dada, what are you doing? What kind of child are you beating? Her sisters often quarrel and get angry. It's worth it." When you get angry, don't hit the child."

Ergui still wants to fight, Qin Dafu said in a deep voice: "Ergui, why are you so stubborn, father is still here."

Old Qin bowed his head to weave straw sandals, and said: "Boss, the second child is also the father of the child, don't worry about teaching the child, you are so good-tempered all day long that some children don't treat you as an elder, you should behave a little bit. "

Qin Dafu smiled and said: "Father, they are all children, or girls, how many years can they stay at home? You respect me, I listen to everything I have to say."

When Xiumei saw the uncle talking to her, she turned around and was about to run away. Ergui became even angrier when she saw her, took her back and reprimanded her, "I still don't want to kowtow to the uncle to make amends."

Xiumei burst into tears, Qin Dafu smiled and said: "Little girl, what is there to teach you, go and play, it's not a big deal."

Xiumei didn't dare to run away, and looked at her father again, Ergui scolded angrily: "Hurry up and help your little sister Xiurong with some work."

Xiumei ran away aggrieved, full of anger, and sat down in front of the stove without saying a word after entering the house, Xiurong naturally ignored her, wishing that the second uncle would beat her up again, so that she would not have to talk to her all day Mother learned to be so domineering.

Mrs. Zhang didn't even support them, so the purse was naturally not available. In the past, Mrs. Liu always offered good things to the second and third householders, and they picked the rest to give to their own family. This time, they went uncharacteristically and ignored the second aunt at all. The third aunt made the second aunt so angry that she muttered a lot, but she didn't dare to face Ergui.Because Ergui respects her eldest brother and sister-in-law very much, she just mumbles, and if she speaks ill of her sister-in-law, Ergui will not spare her.
