I only heard Li Cuiqiao say: "Mother, I received a letter from my eldest sister, saying that Min'er's brother was promoted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mama Li "phew", and said hatefully: "Hmph, sluts have cheap blessings." When Li Zhu heard this, his heart ached, he knew that his mother didn't like his daughter-in-law Min'er, but he never thought that he had changed from dislike to hate, and it had reached the point where every sentence was aimed at it. Her daughter-in-law knows books and etiquette, and she is the number one cook, and she has worked hard in the past few years since she married the Li family, from the five fingers not touching the spring water to the current underground cooking, Min'er is not in pain for her mother, and her father doesn't love how hard she has put in herself, how can her mother not see Min'er's good.

Li Cuiqiao said: "There are two people in her family now, her father is the head of the academy, and he is a scholar, and her brother has been studying for two years to take the Jinshi exam, so why do you need her brother to teach." Mother, do you think this position should be given to my family officials? Mama Li responded: "My own relatives, of course they should." Li Cuiqiao laughed a few times and said, "Then it's troublesome for my mother and younger siblings to say." Last time I went to the town to participate in the Chongyang Flower Viewing Party, those ladies and ladies praised your mother for your good craftsmanship, there are a few clothes here, and I bothered my mother to help sew them. Mama Li didn't say anything.

Old Man Li's angry voice sounded and said: "Li Cuiqiao, you take back your family's clothes and sew them yourself, and whose mother still has to help make the clothes of your aunt, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and grandson, and you have to help sew and mend them when you do it. The water will flow back a little, you selfish, you only think of your uncle, you don't want to think about your second brother. If people don't do it, don't worry about your second brother. ”

Li Cuiqiao snorted and said, "Second brother, he doesn't know if he will continue to teach in the academy now." Mother, let me tell you, the person who went to catch the exam with the second brother came back and said that the second brother didn't go to the exam at all this time, and went to Xianghefan to participate in the first night auction of the women of Naxi River. "What!" Old Man Li roared angrily: "You said that your brother, everyone in the town knows about it." When Li Cuiqiao heard this, it turned out that everyone in the family knew about the second brother's pickling and helped him hide it, Li Cuiqiao said angrily: "Everything in the family is close to him, he is good, close to others." This lesson can't be held close to him. Although Wu Jiajun loves wine, his character and reputation are still good. ”

Li Zhu couldn't listen to it anymore when he heard this, and the people in the family calculated that they and their daughter-in-law were not enough, and they had to calculate their uncle. The second sister said as if the eldest uncle must stop teaching and practice, and should give up the position to Wu Jiajun. Let's not say that the second uncle didn't say he wouldn't do it, and this position was not said to be let go, even if the uncle didn't do it, the people who taught while drunk would not be accepted by the town's academy. Li Zhu took advantage of the fact that no one saw him, so he quickly filled two buckets of water and returned to the room.

After Li Zhu returned to the room, he told Deng what he had just heard, and Li Zhu said: "Min'er, you don't care about her about this, she can't make a fuss." How can a man who is married go home and take care of the affairs of his house? Deng nodded after hearing this, with a look of indignation, Deng said with tears: "I guess my brother will continue to do this teaching, not to mention that he has more money per month than before after he won the lift, just for the money to catch the exam in the future, and the eldest brother will continue to teach." And my father wants his eldest brother to inherit his courtyard seat, so he can't lose it. After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly echoed: "That's the reason." ”

Li Zhu added water to the kitchen, put some noodles, and ate with the family, and saw that the chicken soup was not yet cooked, so he added some firewood, locked the door and sat in the room to read.

Li Zhu's room was close to the courtyard gate, and after a while, Old Man Li's scolding came: "You unfilial daughter, your family puts you on the tip of your heart, where do you put your family?" How can you go into your brother's kitchen and steal food? I only heard this Li Cui Qiaoqiao responded: "Dad, you see that everyone in the family is doing well, look at it, look, the second brother has rabbit meat in the kitchen, and the third brother has chicken in the kitchen, you see, you see, the eldest brother also has white flour pots." Dad, we have no meat to eat at home for a few days, it's rare for your daughter and me to go home, and you don't leave me to eat, I will take the pot of the eldest brother's house, just eat it on the road, the meat of the second brother and the third brother's family, I will take it back to relieve our two boys' hunger, so that those two boys miss the good of their uncle at home. Old Man Li knocked on the ground with a flat pole and said: "You selfish thing, put things down quickly, your second brother is injured, your third brother and sister are lost, there are four children at home, your third brother was hit by a cow a few days ago and was injured." Your eldest brother's family has been busy in the field these days, how can you usually afford this, today is for your eldest brother's family to eat. That's all you need at home, and you're going to have to take it. Don't have one at home? You dare to say this, the rent of your family's few acres of land, the monthly money of your officials, you live diligently, your family has everything. You shameful thing, who doesn't know that the Wu family's mother-in-law is waiting for you now, you are not satisfied like this, you come to the house to get things, you are stealing. I'm telling you, if you do take these things home, you won't have to come back. ”

When Li Cuiqiao heard this, she said disdainfully: "Hmph, I don't want to take this thing when I give it to me, just go home, I will help my brother and brother entertain me by myself, save you a lot of trouble, and save you from being said." If you're as good as me, you won't find a lantern. ”

Li Zhu was happy to hear it in the wing, and he wanted to open the door to argue, but Deng Shi hurriedly grabbed Li Zhu and said: "She is your second sister, you can only let her, you don't know, your second sister has the same temperament as your mother." If you go out, you will sin. Li Zhu sighed after hearing this, nodded, sat down to read again, helped Binbin urinate, and asked Li Hai and his brothers to drink saliva. Deng asked Li Zhu to take out the semi-finished embroidery sample in the wardrobe and do something in his hands. Li Zhu disagreed, and Deng Shi whispered: "It's been more than ten days, I'm a little better now, people can't be idle, you let me do it, I don't let myself be burdened." Li Zhu thought about it, so he took out a small dress, looking at the size should be Li Hai's, the corners of the clothes were embroidered with bamboo, verdant as true, Deng took it and continued to embroider bamboo leaves. Li Zhu took out three sandboxes from the side of the kang and asked Li Haixiao to practice calligraphy with small branches.

Li Hai didn't take the twig, and said to Li Zhu: "Dad, does the second aunt want to take our chickens?" The rabbit belongs to the second uncle, who is from our family. When Li Zhu heard this, he knew that the children in the family still remembered rabbits, so he said, "This, maybe your second uncle bought it." "Lehi looked at Daddy, looked at Deng, looked at Li Bo, and said nothing. Li Tao said: "Dad, the rabbit is in the second uncle's kitchen, and the chicken belongs to the mother and sister." As soon as Li Bo heard this, he turned around and wanted to pull the door of the wing, and wanted to rush out, Li Zhu's sharp eyes and hands were quick, and he hugged Li Bo and said, "Bo'er, Daddy Rabbit will catch you in the future." Li Bo shouted: "Chicken, mother, sister" Deng Shi hurriedly said: "Bo'er, come here, come here." Li Bo looked at Deng, looked at Li Zhu, and walked to Deng's side crying.
