Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 33 Little friction between family members

After holding the child for a while, Liu Man'er let him go until she put him to sleep, and went to help in the kitchen again.

Mrs. Fang was lighting the fire, and when she saw Liu Man'er coming in, she waved her out. She said that she could handle it by herself, and let Liu Man'er go to rest.

It seems to be the same. Although their lives have improved now, the dishes have not changed much, and they are still bitter vegetables and pickles.

But it's okay, I can finally eat rice.

Mrs. Fang had already washed and cut the two kinds of vegetables. Liu Man'er saw that there was indeed nothing she could do to help, so she turned and left.

After sitting in the room and warming up by the fire for a while, she started to make silk flowers again. Later, it was time to go to the market. Of course, the more silk flowers you make, the better.

It was getting dark gradually, Liu Man'er heard voices coming from outside, she smiled at Ye Yuan and the others, "Ye Feng and Ye Qing are back."

"Your ears are really sensitive." Ye Yuan was already in admiration of Liu Man'er's hearing.

Liu Man'er smiled and said, "I was a mouse and a cat in my previous life."

But there was a deviation in the direction she listened to, and outside the door, the uncle and aunt who came to the door today to trouble Ye Qing came in pestering Ye Qing.

It seems that they really went to trouble Ye Qing.

I don't know if Ye Qing really said anything to that big pillar.

"Second brother, what happened?" Ye Yuan frowned when he saw it, and was about to stop it.

"It's okay." Ye Qing shook his head, indicating that Ye Yuan doesn't need to intervene in this matter.

Ye Yuan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Liu Man'er said after seeing it, "Since that's the case, then you don't need to ask more questions, the world will still blame you."

Ye Yuan has always been the same, and now Ye Qing is in the rebellious period, always misunderstood the good intentions of his family, so he can only let him handle this matter by himself.

Ye Qing went into his own room, the uncle and aunt were standing at the door of Ye Qing's room waiting, Liu Man'er listened attentively, it was too noisy, she only vaguely heard the uncle and aunt begging for money from Ye Qing One tael of silver, and Ye Qing also agreed.

Ye Qing, does he have so much money?
Liu Man'er frowned slightly, but seeing the backs of the uncle and aunt leaving happily, she settled down to this fact.

It must be the money Fang gave him.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Man'er understood that the Fang family had always loved every son very much, Ye Qing was not easy to deal with, and she was especially kind to him.

It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, Fang's money was not given to her by Ye Yuan.

Liu Man'er felt that she should take care of the money, otherwise, when will the new house be built.

When Ye Qing entered the room, Liu Man'er spoke, "Ye Qing, did Tang Shu and Tang Aunt ask you for money just now?"

"You don't need to worry about it!" Ye Qing was feeling uncomfortable in his heart, when he heard Liu Maner's question, he replied a little coldly.

"Why don't you take care of me? Let me tell you, I'm the elder sister-in-law of this family!" Liu Man'er said, "Did you say anything to Dazhu? It has nothing to do with you. Why do you want to give her money? You should I also know how difficult it is to make money at home!"

"I said, this is my business, don't worry about it!" Ye Qing started to get angry at Liu Man'er.

"You think I want to control you, I just hate some people who hear what's going on at home and tell others, and then get into trouble!" Liu Man'er mocked.

What he said that day was vague, how much money she and Ye Yuan made by catching snakes and selling them, that is, only Ye Qing knew.

"You!" Ye Qing shouted angrily.

Liu Man'er smiled and said, "Ye Qing, you are a student now, you should know the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, now I am your sister-in-law, your elder!"

"Hmph!" Ye Qing snorted coldly, and said no more.

He is one year older than Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er used the name of a sister-in-law to crush her to death, really annoying!
"By the way, what books did you study in the school?" Liu Man'er asked again, the more arrogant Ye Qing is, the more she likes to tease him, saving him from feeling that others owe him every day.

"You don't care what books I read." Ye Qing nodded at Liu Man'er.

"Yo yo yo, you can't even write a word, can you?" Liu Man'er said with a smile, "Your elder brother is teaching two children to read at home these days, and they can each recognize a lot of words. .”

Liu Man'er's words really hit Ye Qing's pain point, this Ye Qing went to study halfway, not to mention that the students in the school are all younger than him, but this gentleman didn't teach them how to read, just shook his head When he was studying, the big characters looked black, and he couldn't read the small characters.

Moreover, he had nothing in common with this group of children, Ye Feng was still praised by his husband, but he was in the school, and his husband didn't even look at him more.

It's irritating!

At the beginning, he wanted to work hard, he must show these things, he, Ye Qing, is also good at reading, but one day passed, and he couldn't even recite a poem.

Ye Yuan saw Ye Qing's embarrassment, in fact, he also understood in his heart that asking Ye Qing to study might just delay him, not only did he fail to learn a name, but instead made him lazy.

But Liu Man'er said, let him go, some people will not turn back until they hit the wall, anyway, the money has been paid, and the time will test him, if he is still not good next year, let him go home and farm.

In fact, Liu Man'er wanted him to recognize a few words and learn arithmetic, at least in case she opened a shop in the future, Ye Qing could also help her.

After all, she is a relative, she will not harm him, but she just thinks that his temperament needs more training.

"Ye Qing, why don't you talk, come on, let my sister-in-law take a look at your half-month results." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "I have always respected scholars very much."

"Hmph, you foolish country woman, even if you tell me, you still don't understand." Ye Qing mocked.

Ye Yuan's face immediately sank when he heard Ye Qing being so impolite, and was about to speak when he heard Liu Man'er sneer:

"Hey, you are now a long-haired scholar, so we people have become fools in your eyes. You are really promising. In the school, does the master teach you this?"

Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Ye Qing almost walked away. During this period of time, this silly girl didn't know what happened. She used to dare not make things difficult for herself, but always made trouble for her children.

Since her eldest brother came back, she has shown great concern for the children, and she thought she had become better, but who knew that she would actually find trouble for herself, it is really abhorrent.

Still wanting to refute Liu Man'er, a voice came from outside the door: "Mother, brother and sister-in-law, I'm back."

It was Ye Feng who shouted at the door.

"It's just in time for you to come back, you can eat right away." Treated completely differently from Ye Qing, Liu Man'er stood at the door and waved to Ye Feng with a smile on her face.

Ye Qing choked on his words angrily, and sat down sullenly.

He didn't even think about it, the most basic filial piety in ancient times was to greet the elders at home before going to his room when he came back from outside.

But when Ye Qing came back, he didn't tell his family that he was safe, instead he kept a cold face. Liu Man'er asked kindly, and he even flirted. People are mutual, so Liu Man'er naturally wouldn't give him a good look read.

Ye Feng entered the house, first said hello to Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er, then went to the kitchen to look at Mrs Fang, then put the cloth bag beside him into the study.

This is a small schoolbag that Liu Man'er sewed for him, specially for him to hold books, so that he doesn't have two books to carry back and forth in a basket every day, she looks strange.

"How is it? What did you learn to write today?" According to the usual practice, after Ye Feng sat down, Liu Man'er questioned him about his knowledge.

Ye Feng shook his head and began to read, "Chun Mian doesn't feel dawn, I hear birds singing everywhere, come at night..."

"It's amazing." Liu Man'er praised, "Then do you know the meaning of this poem?

"I don't know." Ye Feng shook his head and said, "The master didn't say that, the master said let us read it a hundred times, and then we will naturally understand what it means."

"Okay." Liu Man'er choked speechlessly, she read it a hundred times to see the truth, this is really the ancient teacher's dogma.

In fact, she asked Ye Feng to come to study every day for the first time to really see if he was paying attention in school, and secondly to cover up the origin of her own literacy and poetry in the future.

Anyway, if there is something to do at that time, she will just say that she just heard what Ye Feng said.

"Then read a lot, do you know all the new words now?" Liu Man'er asked again.

"I recognize most of them." Ye Feng nodded.

Ye Qing interjected from the side: "My brother is amazing, he was praised by the master in school today."

Hearing this, Ye Feng had a look of unnaturalness on his face, in fact, he turned his head to the side, wanting to see what Ye Qing was doing, but he didn't happen to want to be seen by his master, so he scolded him.

The second brother is also true. He didn't lose his mind in every class. I wanted to remind him, but he is the second brother after all, so it's hard to say.

Alas, it is so difficult for the elder brother in the family to make money, how can he not study hard.

"What's the matter, look at your face, you must have been scolded by the master." The expression on the child's face is clearly not what should be praised.

"Yes, I was distracted in class today, and then my master scolded me." Ye Feng nodded and admitted his mistake, and said, "It's just that the second brother didn't listen to the teacher's lectures in class every day, but kept looking outside. I couldn't help it." I want to remind him all the time, but I don’t know where to start.”

Ye Feng's original intention was to want Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er to talk about Ye Qing, but hearing Ye Qing's ears, he was a little unhappy, "Why don't you tell me about the hard work I have worked for this family? Now I If you are tired from class, take a break and you will be able to speak."

Hearing Ye Qing say this, Ye Feng said: "I used to know that the second brother worked hard, but since the second brother has worked hard, he should cherish this learning opportunity even more, how can he waste his time like this."
