Chapter 23: Back to My Mother's Home
CHAPTER XXIII
Ruan Sanniang led her husband back to her parents' house for the holiday in advance, which caused an uproar in Ruan's family.
Ruan Sanniang, as the name suggests, is the third in her mother's family. There are two older sisters above, and two younger brothers below, who are neither older nor younger, and are not favored at all.
Aunt Ruan is the eldest sister, capable and responsible. Married to a fellow villager surnamed Bai, the third oldest among the brothers, the stupidest of the four sons. A stupid mouth will not please people, but will only farm to the death. When there is a master in the house who will not greet the guests, it is not pleasing to the parents.
Aunt Ruan had a calculation in her heart, and looked at Bai Saburo stupidly and was not happy with her parents. It is very beneficial to their family, and the two younger brothers in the family are still young, so they have to worry about their sister.
If you marry someone else, who wants a daughter-in-law to think about her mother's family? But Bai Saburo is different, he is not happy with his parents and has four sons in the family. Even if he divides the family property, he will not get any benefit, and it will not be his turn to support the elderly.
So after Ruan Sanniang made her own decisions and discussed with her parents, she happily married Bai Sanlang. Not long afterward, he proposed to divide the family and live a small life.
has more contact with her mother's family than her mother-in-law's family, and she is half of her family in the Ruan family.
Ruan Erniang is beautiful, hot-tempered, impetuous, and loves to show off, and married to a wealthy family in the suburbs of Huaizhou Mansion. The husband's surname Jia opened a tea shop on the official road half a day away from Huaizhou Mansion, selling steamed buns, noodles, tea, and eggs.
Such conditions are not considered a rich and noble family in Huaizhou Mansion, but in the eyes of the Ruan family, they have climbed to a high branch.
Jia Sheng is an only child, and because he was often sick when he was a child, he was raised by his parents. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was still kind and thin-faced, and when he encountered some splashy skin or dusty women, he could only blush and be free.
The second elder was getting older and couldn't bear to watch his only son live like this, so he thought about finding her a more pungent daughter-in-law.
happened to meet Ruan Erniang, who was destined to follow her family into the city. Seeing that this little girl had a spicy mouth and was not stage frightened, Jia Mu stepped forward to talk and inquire. After knowing that Ruan Erniang was visiting relatives, she followed her back to the city to inquire that day.
When I heard that there were many sisters in this girl's family, I was even more satisfied. In this way, this girl can also be a child, regardless of the number of men and women, the better.
Then I tossed and turned a few times to inquire about Ruan Erniang's character, and it was really spicy but she was born with a strict family style. went to the door to ask for marriage, and promised the Ruan family an unexpected bride price and married.
When she arrived at Jia's house, Ruan Erniang immediately became a spicy proprietress of the city. There is a splashy skin that Jia Sheng can't deal with, or a dusty woman who talks meat with a dead face. will be easily gaged by Ruan Erniang, and a big fat boy was born a year later. became more and more angry, and the majesty in her mother's house approached Aunt Ruan.
In comparison, Ruan Sanniang is a wreck. When she was a girl, she was called and drunk by two sisters who looked like chickens. Finally, the two elder sisters got married, and the two younger brothers were also older.
But Ruan Sanniang does not have the ability of Aunt Ruan, and she is thoughtful, so she can find a husband who suits her. didn't have Ruan Erniang's good luck, and found a marriage by herself.
Ruan Erniang's bride price is rich, plus the money that the old couple of the Ruan family have saved over the years. It's just enough to marry a daughter-in-law for her two sons, and there is nothing for her to marry.
In her marriage, she was not as careful as the previous two daughters. I just think it's easy to find someone with a good character, how can I live a life that is not lived?
Later, he married to Xilianghe, and he was still looking for the eldest son. Although there will be some property in the future, it will not be until the in-laws pass away in twenty or thirty years.
Plus she has been married for so long, and she hasn't even laid an egg. Even if she says her in-laws don't care, who would believe it?
Every time they go back to their parents' house, the two sisters take out gifts to honor their parents like a competition. Turning her head and uniting again, she will teach her how to gain a foothold in her in-law's family. The parents even made it clear that the two younger brothers had not yet married a wife, and the family would never be able to accept the daughter who had been divorced.
As for her mother's attitude towards Ruan Sanniang, it also made her disheartened and even more ashamed to go home.
Unexpectedly, this time Ping Po saw her predicament and asked her to go back to her parents' house generously.
Wearing newly made clothes, wearing a freshly beaten head and face, and applying newly bought rouge. Ruan Sanniang took her man and returned to her parents' house with her eyebrows raised.
When she arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw her second brother playing with people at the entrance of the village.
She patted her husband and told him to stop the car. greeted the second brother with a smile and asked her to go to the eldest sister's house to inform.
When Aunt Ruan led the man and the child to her mother's house, she saw the third brother-in-law getting things from the tied mule cart.
She didn't notice what was on the mule cart, and she was already dazzled by what was on Ruan Sanniang's head.
Ruan Sanniang has a new silver face on her head, this thing is flashy, it is better to save it for a piece of silver.
Ruan Erniang has always liked to show off that she is rich, either real gold or silver.
I didn't expect Ruan Sanniang to have this thing today? Wait, what's that that flashing in her sleeve?
Gold? Aunt Ruan shook her head, even Ruan Erniang only had an old gold bracelet. Sanniang, I'm afraid it's a gilded thing, right?
Aunt Ruan couldn't help but sneer maliciously in her heart, isn't it a little unreasonable to use this to support the table.
Ruan Sanniang saw the eldest sister looking at herself thoughtfully, her eyes were full of suspicion, suspicion, and indescribable pride.
She stepped forward and took the initiative to say hello: "Big sister! I haven't seen you for half a year, why are you a little old? ”
Aunt Ruan looked at her sister in surprise, could it be that she has become younger when she is old?
I didn't care about this carefully, but I saw that her face was like a condensed breath, and her face was ruddy. Where is this sister who is like a gas bag, and she is clearly an unmarried girl.
Suddenly, her mind flashed, and Aunt Ruan blurted out, "Are you pregnant?" ”
At this time, not only the Ruan family's parents, but also Cui Xibin were stunned. They all looked sideways at Ruan Sanniang's stomach, and the embarrassed Ruan Sanniang cried and laughed: "No, I've been taking medicine to regulate my body recently!" ”
Saying that, she beckoned her parents and sister-in-law into the house, but Aunt Ruan still didn't believe it. She glanced quietly and made sure Cui Xibin wasn't looking this way. picked up Ruan Sanniang's arm and asked quietly, "Your bracelet is gilded, right?" Coaxing your parents to play? ”
Seeing Aunt Ruan's 'I'll help you cover' tone, I don't know why Ruan Sanniang felt a wave of grief and indignation in her heart.
Why do the eldest sisters and the second sister think that they will not live better than them?
Yes, I don't have their minds clear; They don't have the pampering and attention of their parents; There are no children around; Nor is he in charge.
Because of these, will you be pressed by your two sisters for the rest of your life? Don't you deserve the respect of your husband and the understanding and love of your in-laws?
Holding back her temper, Ruan Sanniang chuckled. deliberately raised the bracelet on his wrist and said to his parents with a smile: "Look at the eldest sister, I really haven't seen the world." I don't mean this bracelet is gilded. After speaking, he took off the bracelet in public and handed it to Ruan's mother.
"Mother, take a closer look, isn't this gold?"
Ruan's mother excitedly took the gold bracelet, put it in her mouth and took a bite. After confirming that it was gold, he asked Ruan Sanniang while looking at it lovingly: "This is what your man bought for you?" ”
Ruan Sanniang thought about Ping's mother-in-law's words, and deliberately smiled brightly: "It was passed on by my mother-in-law, saying that it was an heirloom left to my daughter-in-law when I was pregnant with my son in the future!" ”
Ruan's mother frowned in surprise: "I haven't heard that your mother-in-law's family is rich?" Why do you have money now? ”
Ruan Sanniang's eyes showed envy, and she smiled reluctantly: "Isn't my concubine a young lady from a rich family." She marries a lot, and my mother-in-law is afraid that I will be uncomfortable as a sister-in-law. That's what happened to me in advance! ”
Cui Ximin got married, and the Ruan family, as an in-law family, also saw the wedding. Naturally, I don't know who Cheng Wanyu is, and when I heard Ruan Sanniang's words, I reacted differently.
Father Ruan nodded, praised Mrs. Ping, and said, "Your mother-in-law is reasonable. You concubines can get along well with each other! ”
Ruan's mother scoffed, and stuffed the bracelet on her hand back into Ruan Sanniang's hand like hot taro. His face was full of displeasure: "What's the big deal." Since she is someone's daughter-in-law, she has to abide by the rules of this family. You have to endure eating bran vegetables, and if you want to eat big fish and meat, go back to your parents' house! ”
Aunt Ruan also echoed, frowning and educating Ruan Sanniang: "You too, follow the blind coaxing." What's the use of envying someone's dowry? The Cheng family is very domineering, and the Cui family's money is not rare at all. You are the daughter-in-law of the Cui family, and you will rely on the two of you to eat in the future. You have to give birth to a son quickly, and then you will hold the power of the family in your hands. That's what matters, what's the use of comparing your mother's family? ”
Although Ruan Sanniang doesn't like Cheng Wanyu very much, she doesn't disdain her to be too pretentious and willful. But now she is envious that she has a family that protects her, even if she has a big mistake, she must not be as embarrassed as herself.
Cui Xibin and Bai San were talking on the side, but their ears were pricked up to listen to the situation here. Knowing that his wife was ridiculed by her mother's family again, she was anxious and wanted to rescue her.
He smiled and said to his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, we took a lot of pork." It's too hot, and it's bad if you don't deal with it sooner! ”
Originally, when Cui Xibin took the things from the carriage, Ruan's mother had the heart to open them one by one to take a look. Seeing that the two sons-in-law were in front of him, he was a little embarrassed.
I also have to pretend to have some, and besides, my daughter didn't get anything back before. The chickens and ducks were all tied there, and the package was nothing more than two sets of clothes.
"Oh yes, we also brought the cakes and fruits we bought in Huaizhou Mansion. It's strange why the second sister hasn't come back yet. When I went to Huaizhou Mansion before, I went to her house to inform her! Ruan Sanniang took her husband's words and told everyone that she was not the only one who came back today.
The second sister who made the eldest sister dare not speak out even more, and the arrogant second sister who showed off her wealth would also come back.
At this time, Aunt Ruan and Mother Ruan opened those burdens. I was stunned when I saw the things inside, especially Aunt Ruan, who was very uncomfortable.
A small elbow, a large piece of bacon, four boxes of snacks, two packets of sugar, two jars of wine, two whole cloths, two chickens, two ducks, two rabbits, and two pheasants. A total of twenty kinds are counted, and they look inconspicuous on the board car. These are more than Aunt Ruan's filial piety in a year, enough for more than half a year.
