take a wife to support the family

Chapter 43

The sister-in-law relationship has always been a big problem. When a woman is married, whether she lives well in her husband's house has a lot to do with her sister-in-law.

When you meet a sensible family, the sister-in-law is gentle, the sister-in-law is sensible, and naturally harmonious.When I met an unreasonable sister-in-law, I had no choice but to admit that I was unlucky, because [-]% of the husbands were partial to their sisters, and [-]% of the mother-in-laws were partial to their daughters.

From Song Xiuxiu's behavior, it can be seen that the Song family is not a reasonable family, otherwise the old man Song and his wife would not let her make trouble at the door of her brother and sister-in-law.

Fortunately, Song Haonian will not be unreasonable, and will not blindly favor his sister.For Lily, this is really a blessing in misfortune.

She knew what Song Haonian was like, but Lamei didn't. She was afraid that Song Xiuxiu would go back and sue, Baihe would not be favored by her mother-in-law, and she would suffer from her brother-in-law.

Afraid that the eldest sister would be unlucky, and afraid that she would be beaten and scolded by her mother when she went home, Lamei cried out of breath.

These days, Lily finally saw that Lamei was a little bit alive, no longer like an old woman who had been buried in the soil for a long time, so how could she shrink back with her rare courage?
Lily put the bowl heavily: "San Niu, do you listen to me or help outsiders spoil my affairs?"

Lamei had never seen the eldest sister speak so harshly, she was frightened all of a sudden, she stopped crying, and said blankly: "Help you."

"That's good." Lily's expression softened. "Help me and listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do. You don't care what others say."

Lamei is a girl who has no ideas. When she was at home, her mother told her to go east and she dared not go west. When she came to the elder sister, she would do whatever the elder sister said. She didn't dare to do extra things, and she didn't dare to go out of the scope of the Song family. Looking outside, Lily and Lu Xiaofeng often dragged her to the fair.

Now that the eldest sister said to just listen to her, Lamei just listened to her, and someone made decisions for her, she seemed to have a piece of sky above her head, her heart was fixed.

After the two of them had dinner, Lily took out [-] coins and gave them to Lamei, "These [-] coins are for our mother, and they are your wages. These [-] coins are your real wages, so you should hide them secretly." Now, I can buy whatever I want in the future, and I don’t have to look at other people’s faces.”

Only people with a financial background can stand up and talk. No matter how much you talk about taking care of your sister, it is better to give her some money and teach her a few skills to settle down.

"Sister, I can't ask for your money." Lamei lowered her head, her voice was as small as a mosquito humming.

She couldn't say what she was full of. In her opinion, if the elder sister took her out of the house, didn't beat her or scold her, and had enough food, she was already living like a fairy.

At the eldest sister's house, she just picks some wild berries every day, washes them, and then cleans the house, cooks and feeds the chickens. That's all the work.The work done in three to five days is not as much as that done at home in one day. The eldest sister even took her to the last fair and bought her red-headed ropes and fragrant soap. It was equivalent to raising a person like her for nothing.
Lily stuffed the money into Lamei's hand: "Take it if you tell me to! You were at home, and I dragged you to stay with me to strengthen my courage and help me work to earn money. What do you want to do for nothing?"

Let her know that all her labor is valuable, so she can realize her own worth.

Early the next morning, Lily asked Lamei to go home, and brought the agreed thirty money per month to Mrs. Zhu, and brought over the small basket made by the craftsman Li.

Fearing that Lamei would never come back, Lily specifically told her: "If my mother detains you, just tell her that from now on, don't even think about taking a penny or a thread from me."

La Mei was secretly stunned when she heard that, but she also didn't want her mother to detain her. Living with the eldest sister must be easier than living under her mother's hands.Lamei is a bit clumsy, but she is not stupid and knows who treats her better.

As soon as Lamei left, Lily didn't go to sell raspberries, but put thirty yuan into a small sachet she made, and went to Wang Xiaofu's house to look for someone.

Wang Xiaofu is a shopkeeper, who buys goods from the county town and sells them in the streets.He doesn't go to the first few dozen villages in Qingliu Town, except for the remote ones. He can visit all the villages in ten days on weekdays, and he knows everyone everywhere, even in the county town.

Lily had been to Wang's house two days ago, and found out that Wang Xiaofu was at home today, so she chose a good time to visit him to do something.

When Wang Xiaofu saw Lily, he quickly stood up and called, "Sister-in-law!"

He used to look down on Li Da Niu very much, thinking that this woman is not suitable for living and not worthy of his older brother.Who knew that after jumping into the river, people would become enlightened, and now the flower and fruit sellers are very good at housekeeping, and they are also affectionate and polite to these brothers, and they seem to live with his elder brother wholeheartedly.

Wang Xiaofu himself looked at Song Haonian's greatness, and he had to admit that Xiao Xiucai had a better future than Song Haonian. Being a concubine for Xiao Xiucai would be better than being Song Haonian's wife in the future.

So as soon as the news that Lily hit Xiao Xiucai came out, Wang Xiaofu knew that Lily really had nothing to do with Xiao Xiucai, and he really thought that Mrs. Liu Yi was a good matchmaker.He was also a little moved, and wanted to ask Mrs. Liu Yi to protect him once as a matchmaker.

Lily first greeted Wang Xiaofu's parents, calling her uncle and aunt, and then told Wang Xiaofu why she came here: "I know you know a lot of people, and the information is flexible. Now that I am away from home during the Chinese New Year, I can't plant land, but I want to plant land." Order vegetables, melons and fruits, and I can eat them at home. It would be great if I can sell them to make some money. I just want to ask you, what kind of melons and vegetables are good? If you have good seeds, buy some for me."

Wang Xiaofu goes to the city to buy goods every day, and he will also bring some gadgets for the villagers in the village. Besides, this is his sister-in-law, his family, of course she can't lose.

He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law came just in time. I'm going to the city tomorrow, and I'll bring you back with seeds."

He also told Lily, what kind of melons and vegetables people in the city are eating now, what kind of vegetables are the most grown in their town, and what kind of seeds he can buy...

Lily thought about it in her heart and said, "Then we need lentils, cowpeas, courgettes, pumpkins, cabbage, and radishes. Our family has no land now. I plan to open a field next to the house. I don't need too much for each of them." , it’s good to be able to plant two points of the land.”

Wang Xiaofu repeated it, remembering it was clear and refreshing. Seeing that Lily wanted to take money, he quickly stopped him: "Sister-in-law, I usually bring things to the villagers in the village, and I don't collect money in advance. If I take your money, what would you say?"

Lily smiled and said: "When you go shopping in the city, you use your own money to put it in. It's okay to put it in once or twice. I have something to trouble you in the future. I can't tell you to put it first every time. Listen to me Yes, take it!"

She is quite rich now, no matter how good Song Haonian's sworn brotherhood is, she can't afford to spoil it, so she doesn't dare to spoil it at all, and she has to pay attention to maintaining the friendship of these brothers on weekdays.

Wang Xiaofu thought in his heart that he was not a family, and if he didn't enter the family, this sister-in-law and brother Da Nian were really the same kind of people, they were kind and kind, they didn't take advantage of others, and they did their best for the brothers.

"Okay, my sister-in-law will come back in the future, and I will definitely bring you the best seeds!" Wang Xiaofu accepted the money. If it was not enough, he would add a few more money. If it was too much, he could buy more things for Lily in the county. .

The next day Lamei came back from Liushan Village, her eyes were red as if she had been crying, Lily asked her: "Mother beat you?"

Lamei just shook her head, and Lily understood after a second thought: "Where's your money?"

Lamei lowered her head: "Mother is leaving..."

Lily couldn't help sighing deeply. She had expected that with Zhu's toughness, she would force Lamei to hand over all the money in her hands. Before she went home, she specifically asked her to hide the money and not give it to Zhu.

Who knew that Lamei was still fine with her, but when she got home, she seemed to be the dull Lamei of the past again. She didn't dare to say a word in front of Mrs. Zhu, but when she was forced by Mrs. Zhu, she was afraid to take out Lily She was scolded by Mrs. Zhu for giving her private money.

The mother has one idea, and the elder sister has one idea. If you go along with one, you have to go against that.La Mei was afraid that her elder sister would scold her again, so anxious and ashamed, she came back with tears in her eyes.

Lily gave herself a moment to think about how to speak: "San Niu, I don't blame you, but have you ever thought about it, I promised to give my mother thirty money a month, and you gave her sixty now, next time What if she asks me for another sixty?"

La Mei was speechless: "Ah?" She only thought about the immediate matter, how could she have imagined that there would be such a big trouble in the future?
"Thirty money, I said I have no money, so I insisted on a deal with my mother. Now that she knows I have money, do you think she will ask for more?" What's more, Lamei is her sister, and it is also important to help her here. She raised a girl, and it was unreasonable for Mrs. Zhu to ask for money, so why should she ask for more wages like the second girl?

Thinking of the troubles ahead, Lamei burst into tears.Lily rubbed her forehead: "Don't cry, you haven't cried at home before, you cry every day when you come to my place, people who don't know will think that I have wronged you."

"No, no..." Lamei said weakly.

She didn't cry at home because she was numb after being beaten and scolded by Mrs. Zhu. She didn't dare to cry, and there was no need to cry.Anyway, I can't cry without crying. My mother will feel a little distressed, and my mother will say, "I know I'm pissing!"

I don't know why, but at the eldest sister's place, she can cry out when she is unhappy, like a grass. She is dry at home, but at the eldest sister's place, she can absorb water.

Seeing Lamei's appearance of imminent catastrophe, Lily knew that she had learned a lesson, so she slowed down her tone: "Talk to me, and you will do as I say. When you can be your own master, you don't have to listen to me anymore. mine."

Lamei has to stand up on her own, not only to learn to express herself, but also to learn to refuse.If she can't learn to refuse Zhu's unreasonable request, then she will never have a good life in her life.

Take the thirty money as a lesson, Lily decided that she would keep Sanniu's money herself, and Sanniu would come to her for it if she needed it.

When Sanniu has a certain ability, she will return the money that should be given to Sanniu, so as not to give it to her now, and it will always be searched by Zhu.
