The eldest married as a merchant's wife

Chapter 3
The Mei family is wealthy and the richest man in Chunxi Town. Every table, table, and chair are made of high-quality precious materials.The mother-in-law asked Xiuhe to stand in the middle of the room.It was a cloudy day, it was cloudy, the road was too fast, mud spots were stained on the shoes, Xiuhe was wearing embroidered women's clothes, standing in front of Ye Shi in a lonely way, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

This is Mei Xiaoting's mother, the second wife who runs the house together with the old lady.Xiuhe was not prepared at all.

Mrs. Ye just smiled at her kindly, this is a luxurious and dignified beautiful woman, she should be in her early forties, but because of her good maintenance, she looks much younger than her actual age.

She kept smiling like that, looking at the mud spots on Xiuhe's shoe, then raised her head and said, "It's okay, come here and sit by my side."

"Yes, ma'am." Xiu He gave her a blessing, and sat down as she said, with her head in her mouth obediently, not forgetting the etiquette.

"You're welcome." Ye Shi still looked at Xiuhe's shoe with a smile.

Xiuhe secretly shrank her feet into her trousers, and blamed herself, what a coincidence, the new overalls had just been washed in the afternoon, and she was wearing the trousers that were cut short last year; Tell yourself, it's embarrassing for him.

Seeing her hiding her feet, Mrs. Ye seemed to be in a daze suddenly, then raised her head and said, "He didn't buy you any shoes?"

"Yes." Xiuhe replied subconsciously, and felt strange for a moment, and hurriedly added an explanation: "The shoes of the younger generation are all made by themselves."

"That's right, without bound feet, it's not easy to make shoes outside." Mrs. Ye caressed Xiuhe's sapphire hand, her eyes were full of love, then she looked at Xiuhe's wrist and said casually: "He gave this bracelet to you." Yours, right? This kid is so bold that he didn’t tell me when he took it from me, so I thought it was some maid who stole it and beat the girl unjustly.”

As she spoke, she glanced at the girl accompanying her as if she had nothing to say.

The face of the girl in green beside her is not very good-looking.

Xiuhe stared at Ye Shi with clear eyes, and usually only heard Xiaoting talk about how tolerant and benevolent her mother was, who had read books, knew the general principles, and how she liked her. How could she have experienced such a situation.

She just wanted to open her mouth, but the mother-in-law handed her a glass of water untimely.She had no choice but to lower her head and take a sip. She drank the words stuck in her throat, not knowing how to speak.

Ye Shi doesn't like Xiuhe's eyes, these watery eyes are pitiful, and they are born to seduce men's souls.The men in the Mei family are all doing great things, and her only son, Xiao Ting, cannot be tied down by the affection of his son and daughter.

Mrs. Ye looked at Xiuhe's soft sideburns again: "The same goes for the earrings. I used to like this color very much. His father always said that I looked good in it. I didn't expect to go to you, and it looks good...Mother Jiang , take a look at her, doesn't she look good?"

"It's ma'am, your treasure is precious, no matter what kind of person wears it, it's a status." The mother-in-law didn't look directly at Xiuhe.

Xiuhe lived for 16 years, at this moment she suddenly felt like a thief.Xiao Ting brought it to her as a gift before, but at that time, he didn't expect it to be so valuable, it was just that the two lovers came and went, how could he know that he stole it from his mother's jewelry, and he wanted to cut him into pieces up.

It's not right to take it off now, I've already worn it; if I don't take it off, I'm thick-skinned enough to know that it belongs to someone else.

"...I'm sorry ma'am, it was Xiuhe who was reckless." Xiuhe covered the bracelet with her hand and pulled it out.
