Flowers are expensive

Chapter 57
"Jin Ling'er is so well-liked by her mother, if a boy is born in another year, I'm afraid the whole family will fall into her hands. I really don't want to let me live under her hands. What about splitting up? Oops, that will have to wait for grandma to return to her grave. Tell me, can I not worry about it?" The custom in this village has always been that the elder sister-in-law is in charge of the house, and Aunt Xie has never handed it over to the Zhen family. Self-esteem is hurt.But she also understood that if she failed to give birth to half a son for Xie's family, she would have no face to ask Mrs. Xie for power, so she kept holding back.Hearing Mrs. Zhuang's sigh at this moment, she was heartbroken, and with a bang, she put the lid on the kimchi jar and said angrily: "Mother, if you really leave this family to Jin Ling'er, I'll... just break up the family!
"Arguing about family separation? That's nothing!" Zhuang said while knocking the papaya ladle on the side of the small iron pot twice, causing the rice on the bottom of the ladle to fall off. "Why is it all in vain? There is no mother like this, even if you don't hand over the house to me, it should be handed over to you anyway!"

"Oh, that's all," Zhuang said with a smile, waving his hands, "I don't want to be the head of the family. No one will listen to what I say, and I can't afford to scold people harshly. I don't care about spending money. Man Xing (the second child of Xie's family) You always talk about me! To be honest, my mother really doesn't want to hand over the house to you, I'd rather Qin Lihua be the housekeeper than Jin Ling'er!"

Zhen's eyes lit up, she nodded and said: "I agree with what you said! I am really promising Qin Lihua today, as expected of someone who has seen the world in Bianjing. However, if Mother doesn't like her, it's useless. "Ms. Zhuang smiled and said: "I just said it casually. Who knows who mother will hand over this family to? She is in good health now, and it will be the same in ten years' time."

At this time, Jin Ling'er walked into the kitchen with the peeled sweet potato.As soon as she came in, Zhuang's and Zhen's faces turned away, and they went about their own business.She glanced at Mrs. Zhuang and asked, "Second sister-in-law, I just heard you say that mother will hand over the house to whom, and who do you think she will hand over to?"

"Heh!" Mrs. Zhuang said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm afraid you heard it wrong? Is it my turn to say these things? It's not my part anyway, is it? I'm too lazy to think about it. Anyway, in the future, whoever will be in charge of the family, whoever cares about us, will be fine, he is the eldest grandson of the Xie family! By the way, Jin Ling'er, don't blame your sister-in-law for asking too much, you have been married into the Xie family for several months , why is there no movement? Mother is looking forward to you spreading branches and leaves for the Xie family!"

At this moment, Mrs. Zhen felt extremely jealous of Jin Ling'er in her heart, turned her head and said coldly: "Second brother and sister, you are really too lenient, and you are all in the bed. Ask someone Jin Ling How should I answer? You can’t say that Manxiang is not good, can you?”

Jin Ling'er immediately retorted: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for worrying about me. I have a good idea of ​​how to answer. You have such a knack for talking, why don't you take care of your daughter, and now my son is running to the small attic to talk to Qin Lihua again. We're getting along!" "What's wrong with being a mess? Didn't I make it clear in the afternoon, Qin Lihua is not a sister!"

"Sister or not, can you hide it from outsiders and from your own family?" Jin Ling'er said disdainfully.

"Huh? Does the third sister-in-law regard me as her own family?" Li Hua's voice suddenly sounded at the kitchen door, which startled Jin Ling'er.She walked in with a smile and said: "Look at what the third sister-in-law said, you are not my important person, do I still have to hide things from you? I really don't have that much free time, anyway, our family knows it all well." That's fine. I'm marrying a man, not a sister-in-law, right?" Jin Ling'er's heart was agitated by the words.

Lihua glanced at her with a smile, then turned to ask Zhuang: "Second sister-in-law, can I help you? I'm not very good at cooking, so it's okay to help you." Zhuang smiled hurriedly: "You Newcomers don't have to be so anxious to find a job, just rest!"

"It's very lively when there are many people working, and they can talk. I'm alone in the attic. It's not fun at all like being locked in a pigeon cage. Let me help you choose vegetables!"

"Row!"

"Oh, Pear Blossom," Mrs. Zhen said with a smile when she called Pear Blossom affectionately, "I heard that you can tell a story! Why don't you take advantage of this moment to tell us a joke? What did you say about the story of Young Master Luo and Miss Zhu last time?" My second sibling and I didn't even listen! We are a family now, so we have to satisfy our ears first."

"Don't talk about the stories of Young Master Luo and Miss Zhu, just listen to whatever you like!" Lihua thought to herself, isn't she good at making up stories?Have you read so many Qiong Yao novels since childhood?
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhuang Shi immediately became interested.The three of them chatted and laughed around the water spinach basket, leaving Jin Ling'er aside.

Jin Ling'er didn't bother to listen to Lihua's stories, but she was really jealous when she saw that she was having a heated fight with the two sister-in-laws!She cursed a few words in her heart, then turned around and left the kitchen door.

Mrs. Zhen glanced sideways at her back, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth, and shouted loudly: "Hey, third sibling, are you leaving now? They're not gregarious at all!"

"It's not chickens and geese, what kind of group do they belong to? It's so funny..." Jin Ling'er turned around and didn't finish speaking, when her feet suddenly missed her feet, and she fell down the steps, screaming in pain.

No one expected that Jin Ling'er would step on the empty steps by herself and fall into the yard, the pain made her scream.Aunt Xie rushed over and asked repeatedly: "Did you fall? Did you fall?"

"It hurts..." Jin Ling'er covered her arms and cried.

"Man Sheng, hurry up, take Jin Ling'er back to the house and lie down, I'll ask your grandma to come and show her." Aunt Xie said anxiously.

Suddenly there was a low snickering sound from the kitchen.Aunt Xie glanced at the door in a bad mood, didn't say much, and ran to invite Mrs. Guan.After seeing Jin Ling'er, Mrs. Guan took medicine and applied it to her arms and knees, and said, "It's nothing serious, just lie down and rest." Aunt Xie asked worriedly beside her, "Did you break any bones? Mother?" Guan glanced at her and said, "What do you mean? Can you still not believe what I, a medicine woman, say? Otherwise, come here?"

"No, no, mother, that's not what I mean," Aunt Xie waved her hands quickly, "I'm just worried that Jin Ling'er will fall somewhere, she's still so young, she can't have any internal injuries."

"Oh, you crossed the Naihe Bridge too much!" Mrs. Guan couldn't help but scolded Mrs. Xie and said, "You got internal injuries after falling like that? How high are the steps? Is the ground in the yard made of iron or not?" Made of copper? If her body is so unbearable, you still expect her to give birth to your grandson? Get rid of that distraction early!"

Jin Ling'er, who was lying on the bed, glanced at Guan with dissatisfaction, and said to Aunt Xie, "Mother, I'm fine, it's just a little pain. Don't make a fuss, I'm not made of porcelain."

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I will bring you food later."

Guan shook her head as she walked out and said, "It's so funny, and you got an internal injury? Just think it was the last time Manting got hurt? Nothing can cause trouble!"

Aunt Xie came out with a smile and said, "Mom, I really don't mean to believe you. I'm just worried that Jin Ling'er is hurt. She's going to give birth to our Xie family and give birth to your great-grandson." , there must be no mistakes."

"Are you so sure that she can give me a great-grandson?" Guan asked.

"Why not? Look at her body, look at her buttocks, and then look at..." Aunt Xie suddenly stopped at this point.

"Look at what?"

"I mean, didn't her mother give birth to two sons, she and Jin Xiu? According to this calculation, she can also give birth to two grandchildren for our Xie family!" Aunt Xie smiled perfunctorily. Said. "Is that how you calculated? What kind of girl does your mother give birth to? Your statement is quite new, but I don't know if it will work or not!"

"Mother, don't worry about this, do you want to make two doses of medicine for Jinling'er to drink?" Guan immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Should I ask Man Sheng and the others to make a pretense and send her to the town, or Send it to the county town. If you are still worried, you can send it to Bianjing! After a fall, do you want to kill all the chickens, ducks and geese in your family to make up for her? I said that you are too biased! Tell your other three daughters-in-law to hear it later, how do you feel? If you don’t trust me, you can send her where you want!” After she finished speaking, she turned her head and went back to the house.

Aunt Xie was really angry when she saw Mrs. Guan, she was too scared to say anything.After Mrs. Guan left, she walked into the kitchen and said to Mrs. Zhen: "Tomorrow morning, kill a rooster and catch the blood. Don't spill it all over the floor."

Mrs. Zhen turned her head and asked: "Mother, Jin Ling'er fell and had to kill a chicken to repair her body?" Mrs. Xie gave her a dissatisfied look and said, "Jin Ling'er's body is not well maintained, I hope you can take care of it." Who will give birth to my grandson?"

One sentence hit Zhen's sore spot, her face turned green instantly, and she glared at Aunt Xie angrily.Mrs. Zhuang hastily pushed her, then took over the words: "Mother, don't worry, my sister-in-law and I will pick a chicken with the reddest crown and kill it for Jin Ling'er's body in the morning. Make sauerkraut and chicken blood soup for her a few times."

Mrs. Xie glanced at Mrs. Zhen and said, "Boss, daughter-in-law, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Originally, you were the eldest sister-in-law, and you didn't give birth to the eldest grandson for the Xie family. After divorce, you are more than enough. You don't come here to stare at me and touch your brows." You feel unconvinced now, but when you get old, you will know what it is like to have no son. When Mo Xiang is married, who will you and the boss rely on?"

Zhen's face darkened, and she turned around to stir the rice porridge in the pot.Lihua happened to be standing in front of the stove, watching her turn her back to Aunt Xie, she was stirring the porridge while she shed tears.The Zhen family is always in their thirties, and crying like this is really sympathetic.Lihua couldn't help but say, "If you don't marry Moxiang out, wouldn't it be over if you recruit a son-in-law?"

Zhenshi was stunned for a moment, and smiled gratefully at Lihua with tears in her eyes, but said nothing.Mrs. Zhuang turned her head and gave Lihua a wink, signaling her to stop talking.But Mrs. Xie had already heard the words, she snorted and said, "You are a new girl who speaks so lightly! Find a door-to-door son-in-law? Who will take care of it? Do you take care of it? Who will take care of her after she gives birth? Are her parents? After spending two months with Man Ting, you patted your ass and went back to the village. How do you know how much the family spends? If you don’t know, don’t talk, it’s annoying!"

"As long as you recruit someone who is capable, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to support Mo Xiang and their future children." Li Hua insisted again.

"Hey, I really thought you were really white after you were wiped white today?" Aunt Xie said angrily, "If it wasn't for the reputation of Moxiang and Xie's family, I would have done that? You really don't want to?" You take yourself too seriously! When you say you want to hire someone who is capable, you can hire someone who is capable? Who is willing to send their son to our Xie family to be a door-to-door son-in-law? Find one and show me!"

"If you really find it, will you agree?" Lihua insisted again.

"I..." Mrs. Xie had never been talked back by her daughter-in-law before, and she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly tugged on Lihua's wrist, and then said to Aunt Xie kindly: "Mother, Lihua is Moxiang's aunt, so naturally she is also worried about Moxiang's marriage. Don't be too angry, go and see Jinling'er!" Aunt Xie glared at Li Hua angrily and said, "It's not up to her to take care of Mo Xiang's marriage! If it's really good for Mo Xiang, don't mess with Mo Xiang in the future, I'm afraid the marriage will go smoothly!"
