Chapter 377 The Husband Sings and the Wife Follows (3)
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Tweet pushed the door in, squatted by the brazier, stretched out her hands that were purple from the cold water and had several chilblains, and warmed herself by the fire, saying, "Second Aunt won't let Second Uncle control us!"

She called her second aunt and second uncle, so she was the eldest daughter.

Liao Zicheng's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and said calmly: "The village chief doesn't care about such unfilial behavior?"

The Northern Qi Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and a single charge of unfilial piety was enough to ruin the future of the imperial court officials, but when things on the table fell layer by layer, it would not be very effective when they reached the valley far away from the emperor.

Liao Zicheng and Huazhu also found that when they heard the village head, the faces of the old man and Cui'er were not very good-looking.

"Ouch, Dad—Tweety—you are at home!"

Accompanied by a soft voice, they were pushed away, the cold wind came in, and a woman in a red-colored long coat and a white skirt followed.

The woman is 35-[-] years old, with a round face, double chin, rosy complexion, slightly lighter eyebrows, triangular eyes, and thin lines at the end of the eyes.

Looking at her and at the old man, Huazhu can hardly believe that they are father and daughter.

"Father! Why didn't you notify me of the arrival of the guests? Tweety is young, she doesn't know how to treat guests, so she should ask me to come over and help!" The woman's sharp eyes flicked across the faces of Liao Zicheng and Hua Zhu, He thought he had properly concealed the astonishment in his eyes, but he didn't know that it was rude to look at others so sharply.

"Both of you are from the big city. I am my father's daughter. People in the village call me Sister-in-law Lan." Sister-in-law Lan greeted her warmly.

Liao Zicheng nodded lightly as a response.

Huazhu smiled, and didn't report her family name. It could be seen that the old man was not very happy, as if he didn't welcome this so-called daughter.

Thinking about it, she was dressed so brightly, and the old man and Tweety'er were covered in patches, but if she had a little conscience, it wouldn't make the old man and Tweety'er even have rice to eat.

Tweety was very sensible, smiled awkwardly, and moved a small bench: "Sit down, aunt, I'll make you a cup of tea."

"No, I'll do it myself, don't burn it, it's just right, boil the pot of water." Saying that, he took Tweety's hand and went to the kitchen.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Lan asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is the origin of the young master outside?"

Tweety blinked her bright eyes and shook her head: "I don't know."

Not sure?If you don't know, just casually accept someone to spend the night at home?It's not that she doesn't know the old man, he is the most withdrawn and out of gregarious!The old man wouldn't invite someone to live in his house for no reason. The family is so poor that he can't get rid of it. He doesn't think life is hard, and he can't afford to lose this person!

Sister-in-law Lan took out a piece of maltose wrapped in paper from her bosom and handed it to Tweety, coaxing, "Your cousin doesn't even have to eat it, I've saved it for you!"

When Cui'er heard this, her heart was filled with emotion, she timidly licked her lips, but she refused, "No, Grandpa will beat me if he finds out."

"Tsk!" Sister-in-law Lan gave her a sharp look, "How would he know if you don't tell me? Eat it quickly, huh? I bought it for you, if you don't eat it, Auntie should be sad."

It's so kind of my aunt to rush to give her sweets in a blind way.

Tweety smiled shyly: "Thank you, Auntie."

Sister-in-law Lan saw that she was reluctant to eat, so she carefully licked the corners, smiled mockingly, and then said softly like a loving mother: "Why did your grandfather take in those two nobles? I think their temperament is at least that of an official. What about the children at home?"

Cui'er took a few mouthfuls and was reluctant to eat, wrapped the maltose lightly, licked Wei'er's fingers dipped in sugar, and said, "Grandpa fell down, they rescued grandpa, and grandpa brought them back for the night."

It turned out to be the old man's benefactor, she said, the old man was never a good friend.Lan Da's sister-in-law smiled wantonly, and said, "How much did they pay for the lodging?"

Tweety looked at her suspiciously.

Lan Da's sister-in-law changed the way: "Silver, do you understand the silver? These nobles, as long as the service is happy, the silver will be given like flowing water."

Tweety's eyes dimmed: "Reward? We are not servants, so we don't need their reward."

Sister-in-law Lan's mouth twitched: "You can still eat your bones? Look at you, you have such a beautiful face that you are almost skinny! That lady is soft and weak, and she can talk easily. She I really like you, haven't you noticed?"

Seeing Tweety's eyes full of pity, she duly noticed it.

Tweety put the kettle on the fire with half understanding.

Sister-in-law Lan glanced at her resentfully, grabbed her bony wrist and said, "If you turn around and praise Madam's jewelry and bracelets, she will definitely give you a few. Enough to feed you and your grandfather for several lifetimes!"

"It's so ugly to ask someone else for something!" Tweety suddenly felt that the malt candy didn't taste that good anymore, so she returned the malt candy to Sister-in-law Lan, "Here, you should take it back and give it to your cousin."

Sister-in-law Lan curled her lips in disgust. Do you think my daughter is as poor as you?She doesn't know what other people have eaten!
Thinking this way in his heart, he said with a smile on his mouth, "Sister-in-law Lan is talking too much, if you don't want it, then don't! Anyway, you and your grandfather's happy life is coming soon! You can eat the candy yourself."

"Grandpa won't agree!" Tweety's face became darker and darker, and she stuffed maltose into Sister-in-law Lan's arms in a daze. Big sister-in-law.

Lan Da's sister-in-law is so angry, this stinking girl!
Originally, there was still a box of rouge, which was entrusted to give to Cui'er, but now I don't bother to give it away!I don't appreciate giving this girl away, why bother?

Sister-in-law Lan left angrily, entered the main room, greeted the old man, Liao Zicheng, and Hua Zhu, and said that she would bring some flour and bacon over early.

The old man said nothing.

Lan Da's sister-in-law smiled flatteringly: "Madam, would you like to sit at my place? My place is crowded and lively, and the daughters also know a few words and can play a few games of chess. Maybe they can accompany Madam to relieve boredom."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lan, for your kindness. It's good for us to live here." She didn't want to push Liao Zicheng into a woman's den!
