Chapter 6 How
Chapter VI
Cheng Wanyu slept until dawn, and she sat up and looked around. The confused head finally realized that this was her new house in the Cui family.
Yahuan Xiaohong walked in and saw Cheng Wanyu wake up. hurriedly stepped forward and urged: "Miss, you should go to the tea ceremony today." It's just that my uncle is not here, is this tea respectful or disrespectful? ”
Cheng Wanyu took the cup in Xiaohong's hand and swallowed a mouthful of water to moisten her throat. After getting dressed and washing, he led Xiaohong to the hall.
The Cui family is also a family with a head and a face in Xilianghe, although it is not as generous as the Cheng family in Donglianghe. At least the life is quite rich, and there are seven or eight long-term workers in the family. The Cui family was also poor in their early years, and in the past ten years, they have made a fortune by farming and raising silkworms, and they have lived slightly better than the people in the same town.
On the way from the backyard to the hall, the subordinates she met were whispering and muttering. She knows that whether it is an abandoned bride or a wife who viciously bought a concubine, she will be the first-class person in the Xilianghe gossip circle for at least three months.
The Cui family's house is a concave structure, with the long house Cui Xibin and his family living in the east and Cheng Wanyu who has just married in the west. Uncle Cui Xizheng and sister-in-law Cui Xiyue followed in the wings on both sides of the horizontal. In the large open space in front, silkworms are densely arranged.
In Xilianghe, the Cui family is the only silkworm farmer. There is no habit of raising silkworms in this area, and the weather is too cold and there are not enough mulberry leaves. But Cui Ming, the vegetable gardener, learned the skills from the south, and he pondered at home and planted mulberry trees to become self-sufficient. It's just that it's cold in winter, and the silkworm baby still has to be put indoors.
Cheng Wanyu looked at the sky and whispered to Xiaohong beside her: "When did my father and mother get up?" Did my sister-in-law get up early too? ”
Xiaohong said in a low voice: "It stands to reason that as a new daughter-in-law, you should go to make breakfast early in the morning." It's just that the Cui family is at a loss, and you have Xiaocui to help, so naturally you don't have to go. The old lady said that the daughter-in-law of the Cui family should do the farm work to the slave maid. ”
Cheng Wanyu nodded, but sighed in her heart. In her previous life, she was not like this, and in her last life, she sent all the maids home. And the work that I should do, that is not to do a single thing. is so cheeky to let the sister-in-law wash her clothes, watch the sister-in-law do housework, and you can pick and choose when you have a meal. Now that I think about it, this is revenge on the Cui family, this is clearly to discredit the Cheng family.
Cheng Wanyu entered the hall and saw Cui Ming and Ping Po sitting in the first place. On the right side sits the two people in the long room, and on the left side sits the uncle and sister-in-law. Coming to the tea ceremony by yourself, there was nothing in the previous life!
Seeing Cheng Wanyu generously kneeling down to give tea to the second elder, Cui Ming's hanging heart finally fell. He quickly took the teacup and said to Cheng Wanyu: "Don't worry about the second family, when Cui Ximin's bastard comes back, I will definitely break his leg." ”
Ping Po glanced at Cui Ming, and lovingly helped Cheng Wanyu up. handed Cheng Wanyu a pair of bracelets, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, and don't worry that Cui Ximin won't come back." After a while, the limelight passed, and the stinky boy naturally went home. At that time, you will beat and scold, and the mother will never stop you. I just ask you not to be angry with that evil obstacle and live a good life with him. ”
In her previous life, Cheng Wanyu had heard Ping Po say this, but where did she hear it. Every time I am unhappy, I have to lose my temper, and the two old men regret that they don't take it to heart, but ask their sister-in-law and sister-in-law not to be like themselves.
Ruan Sanniang and Cui Da's meeting gift was also commonplace, a simple silver hairpin. The uncle also respectfully shouted the second sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law, who had a very bad relationship with him in her previous life, still didn't have a good face for herself.
"Humph! It is said that the Cheng family is rich and rich, why did they give me such a little bit of earrings? Cui Xiyue pursed her lips and threw the pair of silver earrings on the coffee table beside her without looking.
"Presumptuous! Did you talk to your sister-in-law like that? Apologize! Ping Po was the first to stand up and scold her daughter, Cui Xiyue glared back: "Did I say something wrong?" That's what it is! ”
"You all blame the second brother for running away, but do you know that the second brother was originally engaged to the eldest sister. This woman was shameless, robbed the eldest sister's man, and forced Uncle Qu to sell the eldest sister. Such a sister-in-law, I don't want you to ask for it! Cui Xiyue said, grabbed the earrings next to her and threw them on the ground. Then he ran away without looking back, and he was not afraid of the jumping parents who were angry behind him.
Ruan Sanniang hurriedly got up, stepped forward and leaned over to pick up the earrings that had been thrown on the ground. blew away the dust on it, and smiled and played a round field: "Brother and sister, don't be like your sister-in-law, she is a little girl's family." I'll send her these earrings in a moment, don't take it seriously! ”
Cui Da also followed the persuasion, for fear that Cheng Wanyu would be wronged and run back to her parents' house.
Although Cheng Wanyu was prepared, she was still very unhappy. Although she did something sorry for the Cui family, she was not born again to be angry. She wants to repay her kindness, and she also has a way to repay her kindness. She is Cheng Wanyu, the proud spoiled Cheng Wanyu.
Displeased, Cheng Wanyu glanced at Ruan Sanniang with cold eyes, and nodded slowly after half a ring. Then he said that he was not feeling well, turned around and went back to his room.
Cheng Wanyu didn't stay for breakfast, and Cui Xiyue was not allowed to eat breakfast. In this way, one day will pass, and the next day will begin to move on with the old life.
The Cui family can't live because of Cui Ximin's runaway, and they need to get up early to work in the field on such a hot day. The long-term workers have to eat and go to the field early in the morning, and the female relatives of the family have to serve the silkworm babies. can't be because Cui Ximin is alone, and life will not pass.
Ping Po is a family member, and only two mothers-in-law are hired to help cut mulberry leaves and clean up silkworm sand. If there is a woman in the house, they will no longer spend money to hire someone to do the housework.
The work in the kitchen fell on Ruan Sanniang, and Cheng Wanyu was not touched by water in the previous life. Even if she saw the hunched Ping Po cleaning the yard, she would sit indifferently in the house and knock the melon seeds and deliberately make the melon seed skin all over the ground.
"Xiao Cui!" Cheng Wanyu got up from the kang early and shouted loudly. Xiao Cui ran into the house with a pair of big feet, and her legs were full of strength and stomped on the ground.
"You go to the kitchen to help the ** milk cook!" In this life, Cheng Wanyu will not be hypocritical to be a cow or a horse to repay.
Walked out of the courtyard and looked at the sky. It's June, and after the autumn harvest, my cousin will come to cheat on my in-laws. deceived the in-laws' money for the uncle's study, cheated the money for the next year's seeds, and defrauded the mother-in-law's private money.
Cheng Wanyu's way of repaying her kindness is not to bow her head and bow her knees. She wants to point out a broad road to the Cui family, and she has to find a way to draw a line with Cui Ximin.
