"I went to the county to open my eyes, where can I still see the village." Zhu Niangzi said with disdain.

"Such a family is really in-laws, and there are many bad things." I wish the lady to say.

Zhu Niangzi had no doubts about the words of the Zhu family's mother-in-law. In her eyes, the Zhu family is an honest family.

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family nodded: "Who said it wasn't, but I can't stand my family's Yaozu liking." ”

As he was talking, Ji Lan entered the hall, walked to the Zhu family's mother-in-law, and whispered, "Mother-in-law, it's time to eat." ”

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family turned her head and glared at Ji Lan fiercely, and Ji Lan shrank for a moment.

"This guest is still here, what kind of meal?" The mother-in-law of the Zhu family said, and then turned to Zhu Niangzi and said, "This is unruly, it makes you laugh." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." I wish the lady that she is also a little hungry, but she can't wipe her face and add another pair of chopsticks.

"The matter of your family's ancestors is wrapped up in me." Zhu Niangzi said.

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family smiled: "That's good, that's good." When it's done, I'll give you a big matchmaker red envelope. ”

Zhu Niangzi made an appointment with the mother-in-law of the Zhu family to come to the door five days later, and then walked away.

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family took off her shoes and threw them at Ji Lan. Ji Lan didn't dare to hide, if she did, there would be more excuses to toss her later.

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family had a lot of strength, and her shoes were thrown on her body, which made Ji Lan really hurt for a while.

"You're getting long, aren't you? Don't see any guests at home? The mother-in-law of the Zhu family scolded, "How much food does it cost to keep people to eat?" The family already raised so many people to eat white rice, and it was too little to eat! ”

Ji Lan lowered her head and didn't speak.

The people in the family, except for Zhu Chengzu, who were still sleeping, woke up. Zhu Chengzu went out to drink last night and returned home early in the morning.

"Grandma, don't say it. I'm starving. Ji Lan's eldest son said impatiently.

"Okay, grandma, don't talk about it. Eat it quickly. "The mother-in-law of the Zhu family peeled a salted duck egg for her eldest grandson.

The Zhu family has little money to spare.

All the family's income depends on Zhu Fengmao, that is, the master of the Zhu family, and he writes letters to people.

Zhu Fengmao read some books in his early years, and he knew a few big characters.

In recent years, many people have gone out to do business, and many people have joined the army to fight. It is inevitable that relatives will miss each other, and it is inevitable that they will exchange letters.

A letter, ten cents. Even if you only write a sentence, a word is the price. If it's more than one piece of paper, then it's ten more.

In a month, fifty or sixty letters can be sent. That's 500 wen a month.

The current price is one tael of silver and one stone of rice. White rice is obviously not enough, Ji Lan and her little granddaughter can't eat white rice, just get some grains and cook them with rice bran.

But the son and grandson can't go hungry, so the mother-in-law of the Zhu family has to tighten her belly herself. In this way, one stone of rice is only enough to eat for two months.

The original family had more than 10 acres of land. Over the years, only four acres have been sold.

When Ji Lan got married, the dowry she brought lasted for two years. The mother-in-law of the Zhu family was still not satisfied, and thought that Ji Lan's dowry was too small.

The dowry received when several daughters got married is now the same.

No, I heard that the daughter of the Ge family has a shop in the county, so be obedient. That's a lot of money? Marry in, and you don't have to worry about this money anymore.

Thinking of this, the mother-in-law of the Zhu family couldn't help but slap Ji Lan a few more times: "Why are you still stunned, have you finished your work?!" You're a broom star. ”

"Don't let you scold my mother!" The little granddaughter was furious.

The youngest granddaughter is only nine years old. I don't understand many things, I just know that my grandmother is not good to my mother and wants to protect my mother.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Lan knew that something bad was going to happen, and she hurriedly protected her daughter in her arms.

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family put down the dishes and chopsticks. You can't smash it.

The broom behind the door was taken out, and after the mother-in-law of the Zhu family took it, she was as majestic as a general holding a big knife.

Split the head and cover the face.

It's useless for Ji Lan to protect her, the mother-in-law of the Zhu family is fighting with Ji Lan.

The eldest grandson was there laughing.

The broom was tied with a thin branch, and the branch was drawn on the person, and it was a blood mark.

Ji Lan hurt a lot, but she didn't dare to let go, she could stand it, but her daughter couldn't stand it.

"Ahh The little granddaughter suddenly exclaimed.

The branch poked the little granddaughter's eyes, and the little granddaughter's eyes couldn't be opened.

"Mother, it hurts, it hurts." The little granddaughter cried.

The mother-in-law of the Zhu family stopped: "What is the mourning, get out of here." ”

Ji Lan hugged her little daughter back to the room.

"Mother, don't cry. I'll just get some sleep. The youngest daughter said with her left eye half-open, and her right eye was already swollen high.

"yes, okay." Ji Lan wiped her eyes and said.

………………

When Zhu Niangzi arrived in the county, she didn't even go home, went to the wonton stall, ordered two bowls of wontons, and then filled her stomach.

wiped the corners of her mouth, wiped her sweat, smelled that there was no meaning on her body, and Zhu Niangzi walked to Rongyifang.

The second batch of fabrics has been delivered, and Chunhua is rich and bold, and has ordered a lot of precious materials.

"You go inside." Erya is not good at words, so Chunhua taught her a few words.

"What do you want to see? Is it an outerwear or an undergarment? Erya asked.

Zhu Niangzi looked Erya up and down with a smile: "It's really handsome." ”

Being looked at like this, Er Ya didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"You're Haruka, aren't you?" Zhu Niangzi asked.

Chunhua saw Erya's discomfort and answered: "Her name is Erya, and she is my cousin." ”

Zhu Niangzi followed the sound and thought in her heart that it was no wonder that she couldn't look down on the Zhu family.

Chunhua doesn't do farm work, and after staying in the store for a few days, her skin is much whiter, and she is also refreshed. Clothes made of freshly cut material, with a lake-green bottom, and a moon-flowered flower on top, pink buds, and dark green leaves. The color is fresh, and it is cool to wear in summer.

"You have something to do with me?" Chunhua motioned for Erya to greet the other guests.

Zhu Niangzi didn't dare to look at the spring flowers at will.

"Oh, I'm looking for you for something." Zhu Niangzi said.

"My surname is Zhu, and what I do is a good thing for adult marriage."

Chunhua probably knew what this Zhu Niangzi was doing, and said, "You came to me, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person, right?" ”

"That's right. I've got a good marriage here......"

Before Zhu Niangzi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chunhua: "I shouldn't listen to this, I still have elders above me." If you don't buy the ingredients, go to another store. ”

Haruka stretched out her right hand and made a gesture of please.

"Don't regret it!" I wish the lady an airway. She thought it was just that the mother hated the poor and loved the rich, but she didn't expect her daughter to be also a virtue.

Chunhua snorted coldly. She doesn't care if she is offended, she doesn't want to marry well, she just thinks about making some money, so that her grandmother can live a good life, and it is enough for her sisters to marry a good family.
