take a wife to support the family

Chapter 47

Early in the cold food festival, after eating peach porridge, Lily took a basket filled with fried petals and buckwheat jelly, went to the market to buy paper money for incense candles, and walked to Song's house.

The big girl has been married to Song Haonian for so long, and she was only taken by Song Haonian on the second day of marriage, and went home to meet her parents-in-law.They lived together in the town, and later, no matter when they were too poor to eat or when they were dying of illness, their father-in-law and mother-in-law never showed up, only my sister-in-law Song Xiuxiu came to bully my second sister-in-law from time to time.

Lily can guess what the Song family is like from Song Xiuxiu's performance and Song Haonian's attitude. If her mother-in-law doesn't come to see her, she is happy to have a leisurely time, so naturally she doesn't go out to play around.

There was no way to escape this Ching Ming Festival, she whispered to herself, anyway, they don't live together, and they only see each other a few times throughout the year, so it's good to just endure this momentary anger.

As a daughter-in-law, she is always weak in front of her mother-in-law. With a smile on her face, Lily walked into the gate of Song's courtyard and called out, "Is mother at home?"

Song Mu Niu came out of the house and saw a young daughter-in-law calling her mother. She was taken aback for a moment before realizing that it was her second daughter-in-law, and her face suddenly fell down: "What are you doing here?"

Lily smiled apologetically: "It's not Ching Ming Festival anymore. I'll send some incense candles to my ancestors. Before I left, I told me not to forget. Mother, when you go to the grave tomorrow, you will also go to the grave for us. Please bless your ancestors to bless the New Year's Eve safely outside." of."

Niu rolled his eyes, grabbed the bamboo basket and looked in, saw that besides the incense candles, there were some food, turned his head and shouted: "Xiuxiu, come and pick up the food!"

He hummed and chirped and said: "You guys have a conscience."

No matter what kind of family this family is, it's morally unreasonable not to think of them for such a long time, Lily is indeed guilty, so she just apologizes.

Song Xiuxiu was so angry when she saw Lily, she took the basket and added fuel to her mother: "Our second sister-in-law is very busy, how can she have time to take care of her parents?"

After she finished speaking, she slipped away, leaving Lily under Niu's fierce eyes.

Niu didn't like this daughter-in-law in the first place, even Song Haonian might not be able to please her. Once Song Xiuxiu provoked her, old things came to his mind immediately, and his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not his eyes, and he said: "The second son's family, it's Isn’t that the case? You have to wait until his father and I are a hundred years old before you know how to be filial?”

Unfilial piety is a big crime, Lily can't bear it, she quickly apologized: "Look at what mother said, Da Nian and I remember our parents in our hearts."

Niu is not someone who can be coaxed away with just a few nice words, she has her own plan: "Since that's the case, you have a heart."

Under Niu's hand, the eldest daughter-in-law, Dong, gave birth to Jinsun, who was quite respectable. When she heard that her mother-in-law's tone was wrong, she stepped out and said to Lily: "The second family, don't just talk, but do something. Things that people can see! We take care of our parents, I’m afraid that we can’t do well, but you are better, the family is wandering outside all day long, and I haven’t seen you doing stitches for parents.”

Li Caifeng heard from Li Caifeng that Song Haonian separated and went out, and the Dong family often stirred fires and built bridges inside.She looked at the sister-in-law with a mean face, and said with a smile: "Why are you not filial? The quilt in the mother's room, the brand new quilt and cotton, are not the filial piety of me and Da Nian?"

The quilt was bought by the craftsman Li Mi asked Er Niu to buy it for the eldest girl. It was the most valuable dowry given to her by the family. Song Xiuxiu took advantage of Song Haonian's absence and was envious of the brand new quilt, so she snatched it away, saying it was her mother's leg. It hurts, so I need to cover myself with a quilt.

"I see that my mother's legs and feet are very good now, maybe it's due to the quilt that I and Da Nian filially respected!" Lily smiled, and kept poking at Niu's guilty conscience as she spoke.

Niu doesn't like Song Haonian, but she really loves Song Xiuxiu.Song Xiuxiu has also reached the age where she wants to meet her. If she gets a reputation of being disrespectful to her brother and sister-in-law and taking away her sister-in-law's property, she doesn't have to expect a good marriage.

Hearing that Lily was always lifting the quilt, Niu felt a little anxious, but his face softened: "Master, don't say a few words. My father and I didn't expect you from the second family, so you can live your life well." , there are meat and eggs to eat, we are also happy to eat bran swallowed vegetables at home."

The son and daughter-in-law have meat and eggs to eat, but let the elderly parents eat bran and swallow vegetables... If you say it, you will be stabbed in the spine.

Bai He answered with a smile: "People say 'poor parents' hearts' and 'parents' hearts are on their children', there is nothing wrong with that. We all know in our hearts that our parents love us so much."

"Children don't just put their hearts on stones. When the family was separated, the parents didn't have anything in their hands, and they didn't want anything in the new year. It's because he wanted to honor his parents!"

Speaking of the separation, Niu was even more short of breath and guilty.It stands to reason that if the eldest son wants to take care of his parents, no one can say anything if he has the bulk of the family property.There are two sons and one daughter left, save a dowry for the daughter, and the other family property should be divided equally between the second son and the younger son.

But when their family separated, they only divided Song Haonian out, and sent him away with ten acres of land. The house where Lily lives now was repaired by Liu Yi with someone to help him. Back then, there were no pots and pans at home. For him, in the first few days when he was separated, he had to take turns eating at the homes of several sworn brothers.

This kind of separation is not too different from being swept away.Song Haonian didn't say anything at the time, because he was far away from home in his heart. When he left, he told Lily many things, but he didn't tell her to respect her parents, love her brother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, but was afraid that these people would bully her.

Being poked at the center of the matter by Lily, Niu's attitude restrained a little, and a smiley face was squeezed out on the plate of the broad face carved out of the same mold as Song Xiuxiu: "Of course I know your filial piety."

I can't say one more good word, I just think about it secretly.She remembered that this second daughter-in-law was stupid and stupid, and she was very despised.Song Xiuxiu came back from Lily's place and complained to her, saying that Lily bullied her, but Niu still refused to believe it.

She knew her own daughter, if Li Da Niu was so powerful that she could bully Song Xiuxiu, how could she fall into Song Haonian's hands?But now it seems that what Xiuxiu said is correct, Li Baihe is hot and capable, and I don't know if she learned from Liu Yi's family, and she is like a mess!

For a strong daughter-in-law, you can't do anything like you treat a weak daughter-in-law. You must first destroy her arrogance before you can do anything.Today the opportunity was lost, so Niu waved his hand, "The incense and candles have all been delivered, the ancestors know your heart, go back."

When the second son comes back, she will use her methods well to let Da Niu Li know how powerful she is!

Lily breathed a sigh of relief, stood in the yard and said: "Then I'll go back first, what's the matter, just ask someone to call me." She has been here for so long, no one asked her to sit in the house, and no one gave her a call. She made peace with each other, and there were seven or eight members of the Song family, from old to young, and none of them treated her as their own family.

Mrs. Dong is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she does most of the work at home, so she always wants to step on Lily.Now seeing her mother-in-law let Lily go back, she was disappointed without the expected scolding.

It just so happened that her son Jinbao stumbled on the threshold and burst into tears. Mrs. Dong rushed up to pick up Jinbao and cursed: "I want you to come here just for display? You are useless at all." If you can't send it, you will use it against my son!"

Jinbao is the tip of Niu's heart. When he cries, Niu doesn't care about Lily, and rushes up to follow Dong to coax his grandson, hitting and scolding Threshold, blaming Threshold for blocking the way of precious Jinsun. It's time to chop it up and use it as firewood.

Niu was just scolding the threshold, but Dong didn't know who he was scolding: "Mother, this threshold was bought for five pennies. It's not good or useful, but who calls it expensive!"

Lily frowned, and quietly withdrew.These two women thought that accusing Sang Huai would make her feel ashamed, but they were wrong!
Before going out more than a dozen steps, Song Xiuxiu caught up and said to Lily with a dark face: "You take your sister home, eat from my Song family, use my Song family's, don't pretend I don't know. Wait for second brother I'll tell him when I get back!"

"Then you go and tell."

Song Xiuxiu was so angry that her face was flushed and her chest heaved, "If it's good, just favor your mother's family. See, the second brother doesn't care about you!"

Lily said slowly: "My sister lives in my house. Every day she has to go into the mountains with me to pick wild berries, and her hands are full of holes. When she comes back, she has to pick leaves, wash the fruits, cook for me, clean the house, and feed me. Chickens, you have to go to the road to pick up manure and weed the vegetable fields... If you can do it, I will give you the same benefits."

The sister-in-law of the husband's family and the sister of the mother's family are not too different. If Song Xiuxiu is easy, why should Lily make trouble with her?
Song Xiuxiu didn't think what Lily said was good, she just felt that she was humiliating herself.

She, Li Da Niu, is a bought daughter-in-law, why should she look down on me?
Song Xiuxiu thought about this, and then remembered the rumors about Baihe and Xiao Xiucai. She didn't want to believe that Xiao Xiucai was interested in Lily, but Xiao Xiucai's sister said clearly that she heard a brother named Li Da Niu in the middle of the night.

Old and new grudges welled up in her heart, Song Xiuxiu pointed to Lily's nose, and spit to the ground, splashing a few strands of dust: "You know something about shame, don't you?"

Niu and Dong were just making things difficult for Lily because of family affairs, Song Xiuxiu was a fool, she dared to come to her house to rub Lily because of the gossip of a young scholar, Lily especially didn't want to deal with her, and asked her with a smile: "Do you know the word shame?" how to write?"

Song Xiuxiu was taken aback, she had never studied, not only did she not know how to write the word "honesty", even the strokes of the word "shame" were dimmed.

Lily's harm was a bit high-level, Song Xiuxiu didn't realize it for a while, and she was stopped by her question.By the time she reacted, Lily had already left.

Before and after the Ching Ming Festival, it is neither cold nor hot. Every household in Qingliu Town folds willows and inserts willows. The flowers are red and the willows are green.At this time, there are the most people from the city to the countryside for outings, and Lily's business is better than ever.

She didn't want to spend more time in the Song family, deal with a bunch of fools, and kill the good time.She went out to deliver joss sticks, and asked Lamei to take Heizi to pick raspberries. She should be back now, and she has to go back quickly to share the raspberries to make money.
