Chapter 121: Prelude to the New Year

On the day of the New Year, Tang Tiezhu took his mother-in-law and baby to the main room for a reunion dinner, if it was in previous years, Zhang's family would be unhappy when he saw the boss's family, and Mingli sarcastically said that his family had several mouths to eat, but now it is different, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar, Li made a new dress for Tang and Zhang, and attached a tael of silver.

I still remember that when Zhang's received the money, he couldn't open his eyes with a smile, and he said excitedly while holding the silver: "It's still good for the old family, how good it would be if you didn't split up back then, when you were busy with work, my mother helped you bring a few babies and cook for you." ”

Li Shi replied lightly: "Who would have thought of it now? ”

Zhang didn't answer, but he held his breath in his heart and endured it, thinking that he couldn't get angry when he held the silver in his hand, he really suffocated her.

That day, the Li family came out of the main house, and the Zhang family sometimes sent her to the gate of the courtyard, seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from the door, she spat and foamed, and said: "Shameless things, I think that with two broken money, I can get embarrassed in front of the old lady, and I don't want to think about how the old lady treated you before, unconscionable sluts,"

It happened that Ma came out of the house, and Zhang said with an unkind face: "Why are you crying again in the house, crying every day, with a mouth, either crying or eating, it's really a loss of money, I am annoyed when I cry, you hurry into the house and tell them to shut up,"

Ma Shi held his waist, threw the basin with a bang, and said angrily: "Mother, you are talking about trying." ”

Seeing that Ma was playing tricks, she still remembered the incident three years ago, she had a thief's heart and no thief's courage to say: "What! Do you still want to beat me? ”

Ma Shi held his waist and sneered: "Mother, how dare I beat you, I can't beat the baby in my belly, anyway, I don't know men and women, it's better to beat him all at once, and give birth to a girl baby for you to look at." ”

Where did Zhang Shi think that she still had this one, he blushed angrily and said: "You are also a shameless mother-in-law, and you dare to provoke me, you have the ability to really fight, don't stop if you don't fight,"

Ma's past three years can be said to be three years of hugging two, since the eldest Tang Cheng'er was born, she began to give birth like a sow, litter by litter, but the stomach is not angry, the first two are female babies, so that she can't raise her head in front of Zhang, there is no way to continue to give birth, until the birth of a male baby, this is now six months in the belly, she feels that the reaction in the belly is different from the first two, it may be a mental induction, vaguely guessing that this is a male baby in the belly.

Hearing Zhang's words just now, where is this when the grandmother said it, she raised her hand and was about to beat her stomach, Tang Tiefeng saw this scene when he came back from working outside, his eyes were red, his face was blue, he put down the things in his hand and ran to Ma's side and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"My mother said let me beat the baby in my belly, and I won't stop if I don't beat it," Ma Shi saw the master, and the resentment in his heart suddenly came out, and he beat his shoulder and said, "I can't live this day,"

"Mother, why did you do it again." Tang Tiefeng said with a gloomy face.

"If it weren't for your daughter-in-law provoking me, would I have been able to say this? How can I say that she also has my grandson in her belly, can I bear it? ”

"Mother, I know that you think I gave birth to two girls, and you pick your nose and eyes at me, if you really can't tolerate me," looked up at the head of the house standing next to him, held back his tears and said, "Let's leave!" I can't live this day! ”

"What nonsense is there for the New Year,"

"I'm not talking nonsense, my mother can't tolerate me, let alone the two daughters I gave birth to, so how can our mother live in this family,"

Zhang couldn't look at it, and said angrily: "Feng'er, since she said that she wants to reconcile, then let's reconcile with her, and my mother will find you a daughter-in-law who can give birth to a son, hmph, a daughter-in-law like her, our family can't afford to raise it, and we don't want to raise it." ”

"Mother, you...... Alas! Tang Tiefeng became more and more out of tune when he heard his mother's words, ignored her, and coaxed Ma to go back to the house.

The two girls were crying on the kang, and Ma's tears were resting, and when he saw the two girls crying, his face was red, and he hugged one and said: "It's all my mother who is sorry for you and let you suffer with me, I knew this, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place,"

Tang Tiefeng picked up the other and coaxed him and said: "It's nonsense again, the baby doesn't understand, when it's older, it's not good to understand, I'm saying how my mother dislikes them, but I don't dislike my daughter, you see that the eldest brother's family is living so well this day, it's all Qing'er's idea, his family can get better and better, one of the orange and green children must be as capable and smart as Qing'er, even if you give birth to ten daughters, I'm happy, it's a big deal for the last girl, we recruit a son-in-law,"

Ma Shi cried and cried, and was amused by the words of the master: "You really think I am a sow, if it weren't for the sake of giving birth to a son, I wouldn't be able to hold the two of them for three years, and I haven't stopped giving birth, but my stomach is not angry, I don't know this ...... in my belly now."

"Daughter-in-law, I don't think you have a daughter," Tang Tiefeng smiled at Ma's and hurriedly comforted.

"Xianggong, I want to discuss something with you, let's move out and live, I really can't stand living in the same yard with my mother, I'm afraid that in the future, the two daughters will be like when they didn't split up, their mother scolded the eldest brother's family like a few babies, just thinking like this, I can't stand it." Ma finally said what was in her heart, and she held back these words for a year, and since she gave birth to her second child a year ago, she had this idea.

"This ...... This...... We're going to move out, and the fourth child is left to take care of my parents, not good! ”

"When my father and mother split up, they had already explained to us that after a hundred years, they would be supported by the fourth child, and we would give money every month, saying that the whole yard was the fourth child, could he be happy, with the idea of the fourth brother and sister, I wish we would leave early and pour a place for her?"

"It's so sudden, you let me think about it," he patted the girl in his arms lightly, and didn't squeak.

Ma didn't want to force the head of the house too tightly, this matter had to be said sooner or later, today is the right time, how can she let it go.

Zhang returned to the house angrily, saw the old man leaning on the side of the kang, and said to him: "The third daughter-in-law is getting more and more disagreeable, dare to talk back to me, and it is reasonable to give birth to two female babies!" If this baby is still a girl, she will have to let the third child divorce her,"

No matter what Zhang said, Old Man Tang didn't pay attention to her, and let her mumble in the self-written and self-directed nonsense, anyway, she didn't count which daughter-in-law she said.

After Zhang's ink for a while, he remembered the silver given by the old family and said: "The old family still has a little conscience, and they have sent one or two silver every year for the New Year for the past three years, yes, I knew that it would be good not to divide the family back then, even if the family is separated, it is good to follow the old family too much, that is, we can reduce the burden on the fourth child, and we can also enjoy happiness with them, and then they will not be filial to us for one or two silver,"

"It's useless to say this, it's too late, let's follow the fourth child to live with peace of mind, when you are old, the fourth child will be sent to the end of the old age, and the rest of the sons often take some things to honor us, don't worry about those things that shouldn't be remembered, and some useless rights and wrongs." After Old Man Tang finished speaking, he turned over and closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to her.

Zhang carefully put away the money, keep it for the elderly, when going out, energetically glanced at the third child's house, turned around and went to the fourth room, Huang embroidered on the kang, saw the mother-in-law coming, his heart tightened, and his face smiled: "Mother, come here,"

"Well, what about the embroidery?" Zhang's face was full of smiles.

"It's okay to be idle, so I embroider some embroidery and keep it for the New Year to sell in the town," Huang heard the mother-in-law and the third sister-in-law quarreling outside the yard in the house, and she couldn't go out, for fear of setting herself on fire, marrying into the Tang family for three years, and she never came out, she was anxious, her mother's family was anxious, and her mother-in-law's family was even more anxious, but she never dared to show it in front of her mother-in-law.

"I don't have anything to do, the day after tomorrow is going to be the New Year, the family is like in previous years, I came to talk to you when I had nothing to do, and now your sister-in-law came over, made me and your father a new dress, and gave an extra silver or two, alas, although the boss is not my own son, but I am like a biological mother, how can my life in this life be so good? The fourth daughter-in-law, you said that I was right! ”

How Huang didn't understand what his mother-in-law meant, and said with a smile: "The life of the eldest brother's family is getting better and better, it's really enviable, poor in charge, it's such a cold day, it's almost the New Year, and I go to the town to work for people, alas! Mother, or you can talk to the eldest brother and let the head of the family go to the mushroom shed and do something,"

Hmph, my mother-in-law is here to ask for money, and it is revealed that not her own son will give one or two pieces of silver, how can her own son give more than the old family, it is really a good calculation.

Zhang's face is really not good, she came here to ask for pension money, where is to hear Huang's crying poor, stretched his face and said: "Fourth daughter-in-law, don't envy others for living better than your family, everyone should earn more money, so many babies, but what about the fourth?" There are some things I don't want to say, after all, you are my hand-picked daughter-in-law, to say that you are not right, is to slap me in the face, but you have been married for three years, and there has been nothing, although your third sister-in-law has been giving birth to a daughter, but her belly has never heard of it, but your belly is no news at all, my mother is anxious, and I am anxious for the fourth child. ”

Sure enough, the mother-in-law was waiting for her in this place, Huang's heart was bitter, it seemed that he would not give his mother-in-law money today, this matter could not be good, he took Zhang's hand and said: "Mother, what you said is, I am also anxious, after the New Year, the head of the family will take me to the town to let the doctor take a look, and the New Year's filial piety to you and Dad, we are going to give you and Dad, we are still young, where to think so thoroughly, mother, you are not allowed to pick on me." ”

Seeing that Huang's reaction was so fast, the corners of Zhang's mouth curled, this old fourth daughter-in-law was a little thorough, she liked to deal with such people the most, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm giving it to me the day after tomorrow during the New Year,"

Huang's head leaned on Zhang's shoulder and said, "Okay, listen to my mother, let the head of the house hand over to my mother the day after tomorrow,"

Zhang didn't stay long when she got a satisfactory answer, saying that she still had some things to do in the house, so she went back and continued to do it, so that Huang could continue to embroider.

As soon as Zhang left, Huang tightly tugged at the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and said: "I care so much about my biological son, is it the mother of the family?"

When Tang Tiequan came back in the evening, Huang told him about today's events and asked him how much money he should give his mother and father. ”

Huang smiled secretly in his heart, he was going to give 500 Wen to honor them, but who knew that the head of the house actually said to 300 Wen, if the mother-in-law was really angry at that time, she had her own son to block it for herself, which really made her sweep away the unhappy mood in the afternoon.
