Be Careful General's Wife!

Mrs. Wang took the five eggs she saved at home and went to the green brick house at the east end of the village.

Wei Shanhai's elder brother Wei Jianghe was not there, only Wei Jianghe's wife, Mrs. Xia, brought her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xia, who was also her niece, and her youngest daughter, Wei Meimei, to bask in the sun and do needlework in the yard.

Seeing his younger brother and sister Wang coming, Xia's face changed, thinking that they still came.

Wei Meimei cast a disgusted look at Second Aunt, and without even shouting, she got up and left with the half-made sachet.

"Sister-in-law..." Wang shrugged and walked into the yard, calling out with the corners of her mouth.

"Second Aunt." Xiao Xia called out in a neutral tone.

"Hey." Wang quickly responded.

"What kind of wind is blowing today that brought you here, brother and sister?" Mrs. Xia didn't stop her needlework, and she didn't even look at Mrs. Wang when she spoke.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Xiaoxia and said: "I heard that the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law are pregnant, and our family has nothing to give away, so I took a few eggs saved at home to make up for the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law. It's good to be disgusted."

Mrs. Wang sent the basket in her hand, but neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law picked it up, but Mrs. Xia glanced at the few and shabby eggs in the basket, and a look of disgust flashed across her face. "No, no, take it back quickly. Your family's life is not easy, how can we get your eggs." Xia said contemptuously, "Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law wants to make up her body, and our family is killed Chicken Stew

, Eggs can't make up for anything. "

The eldest daughter-in-law is three months pregnant, and it was spread to everyone in the village half a month ago, and now the Wang family is sending eggs because the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. go back.

Wang's face showed embarrassment, and she raised her hand to continue to reach forward, neither to accept it. "Second aunt should take it back and leave it to make up for second uncle. I don't like eggs either." Xiao Xia also said coldly, remembering that when she got married, not only did the second aunt's family not give her a red envelope for this junior. , only sent ten

Just an egg, and a whole family came to eat, and her attitude towards the second aunt's family couldn't get better.

In addition, the mother-in-law also said that she should keep her contact with the second uncle's family less, lest their family be entangled, so she usually saw it in the village, unless she walked up to her, she would not even shout.

Mrs. Wang took her hand back in a embarrassed manner, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lowered their heads to do needlework, pretending that Mrs. Wang was not there.

After a while, Xia Shi raised his head, saw that she was still there and said, "Yo, are you still there?"

She deliberately left him alone, just to show her attitude, so that he could leave on her own. But this person has been standing dryly in front of them, it seems that he will not leave today if he cannot borrow money.

The head of the family also said that his younger brother has a backbone, and he would never borrow money from anyone. He is also glad that he had a bad relationship with the second child since he was a child, which saved their family a lot of trouble.

What kind of backbone do you have, why don't you just come to your door and hang on? Mrs. Wang was even more embarrassed, her lips twitched and said, "I didn't want to talk to you, sister-in-law, but Zili's academy needs to buy cloth for school uniforms, and the family really can't afford it. Please ask sister-in-law to lend me five Shi Wen, wait later

Ziqiang came back from the quarry in half a month, and I immediately returned the money to my sister-in-law. "

The quarry in the next county needs palace workers. Last month, Wei Ziqiang went to the quarry with the people from the village, and he will come back after ten days. As long as he comes back, he will be able to pay back the money. Xiao Xia's eyes moved slightly. She didn't expect that the second aunt came here just to borrow fifty cents. She glanced at her mother-in-law, and thought that she could lend it to the second aunt if she only borrowed such a small amount. After all, fifty cents Wen is the husband

It's just the money for meals in the academy for a day.

"Sisters and sisters, I didn't say you, you shouldn't send Zili to the academy to study, can your family still provide for Dalang Erlang Saburo and the others to take the imperial examination like us?" Xia looked at Wang and asked.

Wang's lips twitched and did not speak.

"Besides, how can the free academy teach children well? Those who study in the academy with Zili from your family are just dawdling in the academy and wasting time."

"No..." Mrs. Wang wanted to refute, telling her sister-in-law that Zili could write her own name, but her voice was too low, and was directly covered by Mrs. Xia's voice.

"Your family's self-reliance is not the material for studying, and a family like yours can't afford it. Instead of letting Zili waste time in the academy, it's better to let him help with the work at home! You can also relax." Xia Xia After finishing speaking with a straight face, he said: "Fifty Wen is not much. Logically speaking, I, as a sister-in-law, should lend it to you, but I can't lend it to you. It's not because I'm being stingy if I don't lend it to you." , but I don't want you to make no sense

Don't waste money on things, recognize the reality earlier, let Zili go home and work earlier. "The reason I found for myself can be said to be quite high-sounding.

Wang's chest heaved violently, and the sister-in-law's words pierced her heart like a knife, which also made her feel angry.

Her family is self-reliant and smart, why is she not suitable for studying?

The owner of the county is kind-hearted in order to allow children from poor families like them to study, how can the sister-in-law say that the academy of the county owner will not teach well?

She could accept that her sister-in-law said that her family was poor and couldn't afford it, but she couldn't accept that her sister-in-law said that the academy and her family were not good enough to support themselves.

"Sister-in-law, just pretend that I haven't been here today." Mrs. Wang said coldly, turned around and left.

The sister-in-law said that Zili is not material for studying, and she insists on letting Zili continue reading.

My sister-in-law said that the academies run by the county would not teach children well, so she just wanted to let people see how much her family could learn by themselves in the academies.

Xia Shi rolled her eyes at Wang Shi's back.

After Wang walked out of Dafang's house, she didn't go home immediately, but went to her mother's house ten miles away with five eggs in the basket.

Up to now, she still owes her natal family three taels of silver, and her two younger siblings have urged her many times. She has already stopped going to her natal family, but for the sake of her son, she still has the cheek to do so.

It just so happened that the father of her elder siblings celebrated his birthday, and the whole family went out to drink, and only her old mother, who had to take care of the family's livestock, was at home.

Without waiting for her to speak, the old lady took out the one hundred Wen she had saved from selling the soles of her shoes and stuffed them into her hand.

Mrs. Wang cried to her mother, ate lunch with her, and went home with five eggs.

She wanted to keep the eggs, but her mother didn't want them. She said that her eldest brother and sister were housekeepers. If there were more eggs in the house, she would ask. If she knew that Mrs. Wang was here, she would have more to say.

After Wang paid the money and went home, she took her daughter Wei Lanlan and her son to Shenji Buzhuang on their own the next day. The cloth shop is full of parents of students wearing coarse linen clothes. When they go to the shop and see that the discounted cloth is so cheap, they just buy half a piece and half a piece. Write down the pattern on the chest

coming. Many parents couldn't read, so naturally they didn't embroider the words Yucai Academy, and asked the shopkeeper of the cloth village to trace a font on the cloth for them.
