happy old days

Chapter 42

"Sister-in-law is really virtuous, and she keeps the house in such an orderly manner. This is the winter clothes I made for the old man. Look at the tailoring, it's really good." Sitting on the edge of the kang, the fourth daughter-in-law dragged the winter clothes that Jinniang was making into the look around.

Jinniang rolled her eyes secretly, the padded jacket has just been covered with cotton, and she can't see that side at all, so how does she know how it is cut.But she still said with a smile on her face, "I just did it casually, but my younger siblings, with Chunxi by my side, I don't need to do anything myself, but it's very comfortable." If she was asked to do nothing for a day, she probably would You can be silly.

The fourth daughter-in-law smiled all over her face, "No, I really don't know what to do if there is no Chunxi." She couldn't hide her sense of superiority during her speech, and she glanced at the woman behind her, "Sister-in-law, I'll come here today , but here’s a solution for you.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and called the woman to his side, "Since we separated, Dad has been serving by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. As the youngest daughter-in-law, I didn't try my best, and I always felt sorry for him. I went to my brother’s house, and met her on the street. Her family had no men, and her husband’s family couldn’t tolerate her, so she had nowhere to live. I thought she was an honest person, and her color was good, so I bought it and gave it to my father. I can help my sister-in-law to do something by being a housekeeper for my father."

When Jinniang heard that the corners of her lips were raised, her complexion didn't change at all, but instead she smiled, "Oh, let me see, yes, she looks pretty solid. She looks pretty good too. What's her name?" The woman said that she looks really good, The skin is also fair, and the eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, but when she entered the courtyard just now, she swept the yard thoroughly, fearing that she was an honest person.

"Oh, as long as my sister-in-law likes it, then I'll let her..." The fourth daughter-in-law was proud of herself, but she was interrupted by Jinniang just as she was about to settle the matter.

"Don't worry, brother and sister, she looks pretty good, but I can't accept her."

"Why?" The fourth daughter-in-law was a little surprised.

Jinniang looked at the fourth daughter-in-law and said unhurriedly, "Sister-in-law, if you say that you are older than me, your family is also a scholarly family, and you should know more than me, but there are some things that I have to remind you as a sister-in-law. Let me know. Heh, although our family is a farmer, it is not a trivial matter to renew the strings for my father. Not to mention whether we should discuss it with the old man first, but we can’t just put anyone in the father’s house. Even if our family doesn’t pay attention There are so many, and there is no reason why the daughter-in-law is in charge of the father-in-law's housework. If we let outsiders know, we can't say that our family has no rules. I think my sister-in-law should know this reason better than me."

Seeing the fourth daughter-in-law's face turn red and turn pale, and she was about to faint, Jin Niang paused and said, "If we say that our family has been separated, we don't need siblings to worry about things in this house. Let people know that my younger siblings help my sister-in-law housekeeper, I will really feel ashamed. Of course, if younger siblings want to honor our father, we will not block it. Father is not used to outsiders wandering around, everything needs to be taken care of by younger siblings."

The fourth daughter-in-law didn't know what to say when she heard this, but Chunxi, the maid next to her, said, "Madam and grandma are also kind. Seeing that my uncle has a lot of housework, I sent someone over to help."

Jinniang glanced at Chunxi, "Then I really want to thank my younger brother and sister. It's just that I can't bear the kindness." Looking at the fourth daughter-in-law, she smiled even better, "But the girl of the fourth younger brother and sister is really understanding, it's just a rule. It’s not so good, the master’s talk has no place for a girl to intervene. If the fourth sibling is willing to give up, I can help to teach it. It just so happens that your eldest brother went to the mountain in the past few days. Hands." The smile on his face was even brighter, as if he really wanted to keep him.Originally, she didn't have any prejudice against maids and servants, but she didn't like Chunxi. If there was any master, there would be any servants. They were all so arrogant, so they had nothing to show off.She took care of it once or twice, don't blame her for stepping on it again.

When the fourth daughter-in-law heard this, her face darkened, and she had to put on a smile, "It's because I didn't discipline myself strictly enough to make my sister-in-law laugh. It's just that Chunxi was brought by my natal family, so it's not good for my sister-in-law."

"Forget it. It's just that I'm not lucky. It's not as good as my fourth sibling." It's really good luck to find a mistress for myself.

"What are you doing standing here?" Niang Jin stood by the door and watched the fourth daughter-in-law leave with the two of them, just as Father Yang came back with a fish.

"Ah, dad is back. Didn't the fourth sibling come over just now?" Niang Jin quickly reached out to take the fish from Old Dad Yang's hand.

Mr. Yang glanced back, his fourth daughter-in-law was walking into the village, accompanied by two people, hey - he sighed, thinking that he thought he was a good one at the beginning, and thought that a scholarly family should be a filial one, who knows, Ever since the separated son went to the township test, the youngest daughter-in-law hadn't come to see him, even if she came, she was looking for the eldest daughter-in-law, which was outrageous.

In fact, Jinniang knows what happened to the fourth daughter-in-law. Before, the fourth daughter-in-law also wanted to greet the old man, but the old man didn't like her being so delicate and delicate, and her face was always cold. As a result, the fourth daughter-in-law was afraid of the old man. , plus the fourth child is not at home, the fourth daughter-in-law always wants to be quiet, so as to save the villagers from gossiping, so most of the time they don't go out.

"Pa——" the fourth daughter-in-law returned home and threw the cup on the ground, "Look at your good idea, I'm completely ashamed today." The fourth daughter-in-law's face was distorted with anger.The bouncing tiles scratched Chunxi's hand, Chunxi lowered her head and dared not speak, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

The fourth daughter-in-law looked at the woman who followed behind her, and curled her lips in disgust, "What are you still doing standing here? If you don't go out, you rubbed all the corn in the yard, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish rubbing. I bought you here, right?" A mother-in-law."

The woman raised her head and was about to explain something, but when she saw the anger on her face, she quickly backed away in fright.

Chunxi hurried to the hot tea. She had been with his wife for a while, and she knew her very well. Don't look at her as weak, but she still has a strong ability to toss people, otherwise she wouldn't be so honest, but Today's work is not bad, since the person can't be sent out, then she can have someone to share some heavy work if she is left behind.

The fourth daughter-in-law took a sip of tea and frowned, "I thought she was a face person, but I didn't know that she was a formidable one."

A few days ago, I heard that a matchmaker went to matchmaking with her father-in-law. She thought that if the old man continued, her life might be difficult with a mother-in-law. Chunxi gave such an idea. Isn't this woman The ones she came across at random were bought by her natal family. This woman still has a child in her hands, so she can handle it later, and she can also cause some trouble for her sister-in-law, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to say a few words Give it back, she can't even refute it, she is a bit reckless if she says it, it's not nice for a daughter-in-law to give her father-in-law a housemate, just a little more detour.

Thinking of the expression on the sister-in-law's face when she spoke just now, and she was giving a lesson like her elders, she panicked in her heart, she didn't understand, she was so good, and she was always overpowering her.At the beginning, the date of marriage was fixed, but the Yang family suddenly changed their minds, in order to marry the eldest daughter-in-law first, and the second and third children had already married, why didn't they wait for the eldest to come back to marry?It happened to her that it changed.Why would she produce more tiger skins and silver when she married in the same way? Even though she was younger than her, she had to act like the elder sister-in-law. The father-in-law at home liked the uncle, but the fourth child in the family got angry with her because she complained, and even threw Chunxiang Received the room.

The fourth daughter-in-law became more and more angry when she thought about it, and even looked at Chunxi disliked.

Jinniang didn't know that the fourth daughter-in-law hated her, but even if she knew, she didn't care, she didn't care, people put their hands in their house, so why be polite.No matter how good the temper is, this matter cannot be tolerated.Besides, what was she afraid of? Yang Zhenhai and Yang's father were on his side. Even if Yang Laosi came back and heard about this, with his nerdy temperament, he would be even angrier.So she doesn't have to care at all.In this era, the young and old are orderly, and they cannot get past it.

This time, Yang Zhenhai took a few people into the mountains and went there for three days. When he came back, he had a lot of harvest. Except that each family brought back two hares and pheasants for the tooth festival, the others were sent to the county town to buy. This time, they met reindeer. In the group, a few people teamed up to hunt four big deer and came back. They sold the money, and each family shared more than 20 taels, which was almost the same as a year's farming income.

"Brother, please keep this money for me." A group of people came back from the county town and went to their house for a drink. Yang Laosan quietly handed over 15 taels of silver to Yang Zhenhai.

"What is this for?" Yang Zhenhai was taken aback, looking at his younger brother.

Yang Laosan was a little embarrassed, "The money is in the hands of my daughter-in-law, and it may be sent to her natal family. Brother Zoom, I can rest assured."

Yang Zhenhai didn't look good when he heard it. This younger brother understands everything, why is he so face-to-face, "You said that you, a big man, can't even control a daughter-in-law—"

Yang Laosan chuckled and didn't refute.In fact, if he hadn't been dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law's behavior of patronizing her mother's house and neglecting her own house, he would not secretly hide money.

Yang Zhenhai was angry but didn't move. He couldn't control the affairs between the two, so he put the money in his pocket and said to the third child, "Tell your second brother, don't let his wife go out and be careless, when the time comes Your daughter-in-law will trouble your sister-in-law again."

The third child smirked again, "Don't worry, brother, it's okay, the second child has hidden the money himself. He told me first." In fact, if the second brother hadn't said it before, he wouldn't have this idea, he even I can't figure out what to do with my money.I just vaguely felt that instead of giving the money to my daughter-in-law and never seeing it again, it would be better to put it here with my elder brother.Don't look at his elder brother who looks very powerful, but he will not be bad for a few brothers.

What did Yang Zhenhai hear when he heard this?

"You just accepted the third child's money just like that. If you want his wife to know, why don't you call our house?" At night, Yang Zhenhai handed over the money he earned and the money that the third child gave him to Jinniang, and Jin Mother was a little anxious when she heard that, how could they help collect the money.

"It's okay, the third one isn't that stupid, even if it leaked out, he wouldn't say that the money is with us. The second one also kept some of it privately. It is estimated that the sum of the two cannot be leaked out."

When Jin Niang heard this, she said angrily, "Look at you two brothers, you both know how to hide the small treasury, so it's not a good one." After finishing speaking, she looked at Yang Zhenhai suspiciously, "Do you think you also hid the small treasury? gone."

Yang Zhenhai looked at her pinching her waist and squinting her eyes, it was rare, he laughed and hugged her onto the kang, "Don't worry daughter-in-law, your man will not do such a thing, except for the ones left in our hands when we bought the property at the beginning, other things I have handed over all the money to you, and you don’t know how much I have now.”

Jin Niang snorted, "Don't let me find out that you hide the small treasury, or you won't even think about going to bed."

"Follow my lady." After speaking, he kissed her fiercely. "Daughter-in-law, I haven't come home for a few days, so I miss you so much."
