Lu Si's daughter-in-law took Lu Jiawei around the small courtyard of the Lu family, and the courtyard of the second room was much smaller than the big one.

In the east corner of the courtyard is a brick kennel, covered with a square stone slab, on which are neatly arranged several small brown clay pots, in which pink and white leeks are planted, and they are all blooming brightly. Next to the kennel is a half-person tall delicate flower tree, the yellow Yanyan flowers exude bursts of refreshing fragrance, smell it makes people feel shocked, next to the flowers and trees is planted a cluster of plants that look like roses, the green leaves are dense, the flowers are scarce, only three or two blooming roses are inlaid in it.

Looking west along the wall, I saw that the courtyard wall on the west side was covered with turquoise soft mats, and the door of an empty house against the wall was wide open, and you could see all kinds of baskets and mats rolled into tubes.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law remembered that this empty house was cleaned out at that time and made it a bedroom for her daughters, she and Lu Si lived in one, and the two sons lived in one, and the family lived in three houses in the west, and lived for more than a month.

At the beginning, seeing that the Lu family had a slight family background and that the two generations were scholars, Lu Si was a motivated and studious person, and he thought that he would be a talented lady for the first time when he married, and no matter how prosperous the fortune was, it might not be a dream to be an official wife. Who wants to wait for sixteen years, let alone the wife of the official family, even the talented lady has not seen half a shadow.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law is sour and embarrassed every time she thinks about this, and now she is even worse, moving back from the city to the countryside to deal with a group of rough village women, and her life is like a year. She had to pin her hopes on her daughter, and wanted to find her a wealthy family in the city, not only did she not have to suffer in the countryside, but she could also help her mother's family in turn, and it was best to find an aunt who was generous and buy her family a house in the city, so that she could move back to the city.

People are like this sometimes, they always like to magnify their small hopes, but they don't know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Instead of pinning your hopes on the unknowable in the future. It's better to live in the moment and manage the life in front of you.

There are too few people who can see through, and Lu Si's daughter-in-law belongs to the kind of people who can't see through.

Lu Jiawei was ashamed to finish thinking about her family affairs, and turned her head to see her mother staring at a house of straw baskets in the west in a daze. Called: "Mother." What do you see? ”

Lu Si's daughter-in-law smiled: "Look at the pile of baskets." It took a long time to make a rope of grass and then a basket of ropes. You have to brave the wind and rain to go to the city to sell it, in exchange for a little copper coin, do you think you can live such a life? ”

Lu Jiawei shook her head, "Mother, this is the work done by the daughter's family, embroidery and embroidery are what a serious daughter's family should do." ”

"Don't worry, my mother won't let you live like this."

At this time, the Qiu family came over, and Lu Si's daughter-in-law hurriedly took her daughter back to the East House Hall.

Lu Shouzeng and his son stepped forward to greet the guests, bowed to each other with the Qiu family father and son, and went to the hall on the other side of the main house with a smile.

Yulan was busy cooking and didn't have time to come out to entertain guests, and the farmhouse didn't have so many rules, so relatives could just chat and pass the time by themselves.

Mrs. Lu is still fighting with Mrs. Lu at this time! Lu Si's daughter-in-law and Lu Jiawei came first, and Mrs. Qiu followed with Lu Lian, and several women crowded together, and the atmosphere was even more unharmonious.

A few people in the house, obviously formed three potentials, Mrs. Lu is strong, holding Xiaofeng to look at one side, Mrs. Lu is not stage frightened, with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter dominating a corner, and later Mrs. Qiu does not like Mrs. Lu, is not interested in Mrs. Lu, is not familiar with Lu Si's daughter-in-law, holding Xiao Qiu Qiu and taking Lu Lian to sit comfortably on the other side, the three sides are in a corner, saying things that are not salty or light, and laughing lukewarmly.

Mrs. Lu knew that the mother in front of her was not harmonious, so she seized the opportunity to stab Mrs. Lu, "Lian'er is a blessed person, there was a lot of uproar about the dowry back then, I heard about it in the city, I wanted to come back and persuade a few words, but I had to give up when I thought of the temper of the second family!" Fortunately, the old Qiu family is an honest person, in other words, if there are some families, who would agree to be so close if such a thing happens! After speaking, he smiled faintly.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law looked at her curiously, although she didn't ask, her eyes looked directly at Lu Lian.

Lu Lian's face was scornful, she didn't expect the matter of the original dowry to be turned out again, she wanted to talk back a few words, and thought that the other party was an elder, and her mother-in-law was present, and she was also a guest at the eldest brother's house.

Lu Lian can endure it, but her mother-in-law and her own mother can't.

Qiu Pozi was just about to open her mouth to stab back a few words, but thinking that Lu Pozi was there, and she could find the scene without her coming out, so she pretended not to hear.

Mrs. Lu's Taoism is obviously higher than that of Lu Lian, not only is she not angry, but she also replied happily: "That's that, my Lian'er's life is good, the blessing is thick, and the marriage is close, I can watch it at any time, unlike you who married your daughter to the place of Nalaoshizi, sister-in-law, I take the liberty of asking, has your girl ever been back?" ”

Mrs. Lu's face turned green, she stood up and pointed at Mrs. Lu and shouted, "Feng Xiaohua! Don't deceive people too much! ”

Lu Xiaoyi came over to add tea, but before anyone arrived, she heard Mrs. Lu roar loudly, who is Feng Xiaohua in her mouth?

When I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Lu pointing to her grandmother, it turned out that her grandmother's maiden name was Feng Xiaohua, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't accept it for a while, but she felt that it was too unworthy of her name! Where is she a small flower, it is clearly a thorn ball.

Mrs. Lu pouted, "What's wrong?" Can't I, as an aunt, care about my niece? ”

Mrs. Lu seemed to be stung, and sat back in her chair without saying a word.

Lu Xiaoyi finished adding tea and was about to leave, but Lu Lian grabbed her, "Xiaoyi, are there any hot cakes?" Bring me one, I'm hungry! ”

"Only the cold one, you wait, I'll give you the hot one!"

Lu Lian swallowed her saliva, looking like she was about to eat, urging Xiao Yi to go quickly.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law said: "Sister Lian, don't you have a body?" ”

Lu Lian nodded, "Well, it's been two months." ”

Lu Si's daughter-in-law took Lu Jiawei's hand on the side and said with a smile: "When I was pregnant with her, I had the same symptoms as you, I was very gluttonous, and I drooled when I thought of something delicious. Huai Bingyu is just the opposite, he has no appetite, especially cakes, and he wants to vomit when he smells it. ”

Lu Lian's face froze, how could she not understand the meaning of her sister-in-law's words, this is saying that she is pregnant with a daughter! Lu Lian's heart was dull and uncomfortable, it was impossible to say that she didn't care, when her sister-in-law gave birth to two daughters in a row, she was scolded by her own mother and bloody, and her sister-in-law's sad and helpless appearance at that time left a deep impression on her, that is, from that time, she cared about giving birth to a boy and a girl, like a small thorn in her heart.

After marrying into the Qiu family, Lu Lian's first child had a daughter, although the Qiu family loved her very much, but Qiu Fu was an only son, the Qiu family looked forward to the mood of the male grandson, needless to say, they all looked forward to this baby being a boy, who would think that Lu Si's daughter-in-law was unpleasant, insinuating that her baby was still a daughter, although she couldn't take it seriously, but when she heard Lu Lian's ears, the little thorn in her heart began to prick again.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law's face was not good, Mrs. Qiu glared at Lu Si's daughter-in-law and said: "The woman who can give birth is different, just look at it, you can see whether Lian'er is a man or a woman in her belly, how can a mother-in-law like me give birth to one in her life, she can't see anything, and she doesn't dare to squeak before and after, she only dares to listen to others silently." ”

was said to be a noisy person, Lu Si's daughter-in-law's face turned red.

Mrs. Qiu then said: "Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as it is the seed of our old Qiu family, I will be a mother-in-law will hurt in my heart, look at this one in my arms, well-behaved and clever, I just want to add another granddaughter, and when the grandson is born in the future, multiple sisters will love him and take care of him, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Lian's face was much better, and she smiled gratefully at Mrs. Qiu.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law also laughed and echoed: "That's that, Sister Lian really fell into the nest of blessings, and it is really a blessing for her to meet a mother-in-law like you!" ”

Mrs. Qiu didn't buy it at all, and when she saw that her daughter-in-law's mood was stable, she began to show her knife to the people she was not used to, "I am the most open-minded mother-in-law, I can neither do anything to insult my daughter-in-law for selling my son and daughter, nor can I do anything to calculate the money of the elderly, I recite 'Amitabha Buddha' every day, do good deeds, and only think about accumulating some virtue for future generations." ”

Calculating the old man's money, referring to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the big house, Mrs. Lu's face changed suddenly, she stood up and pointed at Mrs. Lu, and said sharply: "Feng Xiaohua, what are you talking nonsense about?" If you can't control your mouth, I'll sew you with a needle and thread!" ”

Mrs. Lu knew in her heart that this matter must have been told by Lu Lian to Mrs. Qiu, but what does it matter, who said that it was not said, sooner or later it will be well known. Mrs. Lu didn't explain, but accepted it with a smile, "Sister-in-law, good things don't go out and evil things go thousands of miles, is it so important whether I say it or not?" ”

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she stumbled back to the chair, and a gloomy feeling was rising in her heart, wanting to scold Mrs. Qiu, but she couldn't pull her tail; wanted to scold Mrs. Lu, her face was as thick as a city wall; finally scolded his daughter-in-law, "When the elders talk to each other, how can you interject, haven't you seen that Lian'er has always been well-behaved and rarely spoken?" As long as you can endure, you know everything, you can say everything, there are you everywhere in heaven and on earth! ”

Lu Si's daughter-in-law's cheeks were flushed, she buried her head and didn't speak, she regretted a hundred and a thousand regrets in her heart, her intestines were all repentant, blaming herself for being troublesome, and having such a stupid mother-in-law, why did she stand up for her before, she thought she had picked the most tender and best bullying Lu Lian to start, but she didn't expect the ending to be like this, it was really stealthy and shameful! One blames himself for being too impulsive, and he didn't find out the temperament of Mrs. Qiu, and the other blames his mother-in-law for being too stupid to fight outsiders, so he uses his daughter-in-law to vent his anger and let outsiders see jokes.

Lu Si's daughter-in-law bit her handkerchief and wept, this anger was too heartwarming.

A room of women, except for Xiaofeng and Xiao Qiu Qiu, belongs to Lu Jiawei's mouth is tightly closed, there is no part for her to speak here, she is also interested in not speaking, even if she is asked to participate, she is unwilling, these country women are extremely vulgar, how can a woman like her be so vulgar!

She is not Lu Xiaoyi! Lu Jiawei thought so. (To be continued......)
