Chen Xuejiao walked into the north wing, Li was sitting on the bed crying, and Grandma Xianglian and Cai were sitting on both sides of the left and right.

"Second aunt, I have been married into the Chen family for so many years, I dare not take a step forward, I dare not take a breath in my atmosphere, I am filial to my in-laws, and I am kind to my uncle. Usually I can do anything, but now that I am a thief, I am panicked in my heart" Li's tears fell in strings.

“…… Who said no, the second aunt knows, justice is in the hearts of the people, who in our village doesn't say that the talented lady is good. Grandma Xianglian stroked the messy hair on Li's sideburns and sighed.

"Yes, sister-in-law, even our concubines have never blushed." Chua echoed.

"For so many years, my heart has come out, to say that the most outrageous thing I have done is to slap his second uncle, I am also angry, he wants to change Xuejiao's relatives, can I be willing to be a mother?" When it came to Xue Jiao, Li cried even more.

“…… I made a chrysanthemum pillow, and my mother also wrangled it for me. What can I do, she is a mother, I am a daughter-in-law, and I just hope for a harmonious family. What about me...... I swallowed it all, but I was a thief, and my children still had to be human beings? ”

"it." Chen Xiucai walked in.

Grandma Xianglian and Cai's saw Chen Xiucai come in, presumably the husband and wife would have something to say, so they comforted Li and left home.

"I don't care what I usually say, can a daughter-in-law of mine be an old man with her? Don't talk about being in front of people, even behind my back, I have never said a word about my mother, I will be filial if I have delicious food, and I will be filial if I have good drink, and I can't do anything good. Li Shi looked at Chen Xiucai and was even more aggrieved.

Chen Xiucai's heart is very complicated, he knows best what kind of person Li is, he has been married to himself for so many years, and he has never complained. When I first got married, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to have a stepson, so I took the initiative to hand over my dowry to Mrs. Chen. Only then did Chen Xiu know that usually the Li family endured many grievances and didn't say anything, but today he said that anyone who was wronged as a thief would not be angry.

"Qi Anniang, you have been wronged, I know it." Chen Xiucai said.

Hearing Chen Xiucai say this, Li cried even more sadly.

"Mother has always had this temper," Chen Xiucai was silent for a long time, "...... Everyone knows that it wasn't you who stole the chicken, and now it's fine. ”

"Dad, everyone has a temper, but people with a big temper like milk are rare, it doesn't matter if you have a temper or not, the key is to be reasonable. I think she just wants to use her mother as a raft, why didn't she scold her when she knew that the chicken was stolen by the fourth uncle. Chen Xuejiao walked up to Li's side and sat down and said.

Li touched Chen Xuejiao's head, but her daughter was still intimate and maintained herself everywhere.

"Auntie, don't be too sad, if you are like this, my uncle is also sad." Jing Hao brought a basin of water to wash Li's face.

"I'll come, I'll come, you can put it there." Chen Xiucai rolled up his sleeves and awkwardly wiped Li's face.

Li blushed, pushed Chen Xiucai and said, "What else can you do besides reading." ”

"It's just that I can't do anything, so that the lady is wronged. I'll wash your face, I'll wash your face every day, as long as you don't cry. Chen Xiucai couldn't care about it, and said this in front of the child.

Li's face blushed even more, and Xue Jiao, Xue Ru, Qi An, and Qi Ping laughed together.

"Mother, a few of us have made money, and we will be filial to you." Snow is coquettish.

Thinking that a few children have not enjoyed a day of happiness, and they still have to think of ways to make money, Xue Ru and Jing Hao's embroidered eyes were red yesterday, Xue Jiao and Qi Ping's hands were worn out when picking chrysanthemums every day, and Qi An had no money to buy paper and ink to write on the ground with stones. Lee's eyes turned red again.

"Mother, your blessing is behind, you believe in our children." Qi An said.

Li Shi saw the guilt on Chen Xiucai's face, and listened to the words of several children, and his heart was warm and sad. Over the years, it has been really difficult to be under the hands of Mrs. Chen, in addition to her own kindness and honesty, the bigger reason for her to endure is Chen Xiucai and the child.

"Fourth brother and sister, let the eldest sister-in-law rest today, let's go make dinner." Cai propped his stomach and shouted into the south wing.

"I did it yesterday, and my sister-in-law should cook today." Zhang walked out of the south wing and said reluctantly.

Li Shi is kind-hearted, and when he heard Cai's voice, he stood up, walked to the door and said to a few children: "Your third aunt has a stomach, how can you let her cook." ”

Li wiped his eyes and walked towards the pot house.

"Mother, it's time for the second aunt to cook today." Chen Xuejiao stopped Li and said loudly.

The Zhao family in the main room heard the words of Zhang and Xuejiao and kept pretending to be dead. She has always been used to it, every time she cooks, she either has a headache or brain fever, anyway, with the help of the Li family, it gradually becomes a matter of course.

Xue Jiao felt that she couldn't indulge, so she glanced at Qi An and Xue Ru, Qi An stepped forward to help Li Shi and said, "Mother, you had a headache just now, hurry up and rest." ”

Chen Xuejiao ran to the window of the main house and shouted one by one: "Second aunt, you should cook, you have always been filial, it's not good to delay your milk to eat." ”

Zhao originally wanted to continue to pretend to be dead, but he heard Xue Jiao say unrelentingly: "Second aunt, you don't want to be filial to your milk." It's just a meal for the milk, if you're tired, I'll help you do it, but you can't be filial to the milk. ”

Zhao couldn't, so he had to come out, he hated it in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "I didn't hear it for a while with a headache just now." ”

Mrs. Chen's ears are soft and her face is good, and when she heard Xue Jiao say that Zhao is not filial and does not cook, she really had an idea, coupled with today's chicken stealing, Zhao's two pairs of eyes looked out desperately and didn't come out to help her. Thinking like this, his heart sank, and he shouted loudly: "Second daughter-in-law, you also take a big one, let you cook a meal and die." ”

Zhao was so frightened that he hurriedly got into the pot house, and scolded Xue Jiao half to death in his heart while hugging Chai He.

The eldest egg of the fourth family walked to Li's side, rubbed the corners of his clothes and said with a red face: "Auntie, don't be angry, my father, my father, I will compensate you for my father."

The Li family is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, the fourth is the fourth, and the child is a child, and smiled gently: "Da Dan is a good child, and the eldest aunt is fine." You see that your child is net long, and the trouser legs are short, so let Sister Xue Ru put the trouser legs for you. ”

Big Egg's face turned even redder.

Seeing Zhao enter the kitchen, Chen Xuejiao and Xue Rujing brought the tea eggs into the north wing.

The Zhao family burned the fire and chopped vegetables and stir-fried vegetables alone, and Xue Yao and Xue Miao never showed up.

“…… If it's my mother cooking, I have to help make the pot anyway, even if my mother drives me out, I have to burn the pot. Xue Ru, who has never said right and wrong, couldn't help but say, "The second aunt is busy working in the pot house alone, and Xue Yao and Xue Miao don't come to help." ”

Xue Jiao listened to Xue Ru's words, and thought that compared with Chen Zichang's family, she was still very fortunate to be able to travel to Chen Zimin's house, although this family is poor, but her parents are kind and fraternal.

Zhao made dinner alone, the fried shredded potatoes were too spicy, the braised eggplant was too salty, and the porridge was too thick. Li Shi helped to set the chopsticks, Xue Rujing and Xue Jiao helped to serve the rice, Qi An and Da Dan helped to carry the table, and it was not until Xue Yao Xue Miao Qi An appeared when eating.

Mrs. Chen tasted a bite of shredded potatoes, pulled down her face, and put down her chopsticks: "Second daughter-in-law, you want to kill me, let you cook a meal and put one acre of chili peppers", and pointed to the braised eggplant in oil, "Oil doesn't cost money?" You're just pouring oil so hard."

It was the first time that Zhao had been lowered in public by Mrs. Chen, his face was purple and his eyes were swirling.

Xue Yao Xue Miao Qi Lin didn't defend Zhao, and sat down to eat by himself, Zhao wiped his eyes and walked into the inner room without eating.

“…… I saw that there is less salt in the pot house today, and you don't have long eyes when you cook, but you can put salt hard. Old Lady Chen's eyelids lifted to look at Li.

Li Shi was silent, and put a bowl of rice beside Old Man Chen.

“…… Usually the aunt cooks. Xue Miao said.

Xue Jiao stared at Xue Miao fiercely, this girl really didn't know whether she was open-mouthed or deliberately bad, and followed Mrs. Chen three times and twice to practice the Li family.

“…… The salt is what I use. "The salt was half of the salted duck eggs used by Chen Xuejiao," I will rush to the market tomorrow to make up for it. ”

"The family has been noisy all day long, okay, hurry up and eat." Old man Chen also felt that the noise at home was not decent.

After the meal, Li cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, which was originally Zhao's job, Chen Xuejiao pulled Li and said: "Mother, the shoes you made for grandpa, the soles have not been put away, let's hurry back to the house." ”

Li's action of collecting dishes and chopsticks slowed down, and Chen Xuejiao said again: "Today is the second aunt cooking and washing the dishes, the second aunt wants to be filial to the milk, you can't help but let her be filial", and shouted into the back room: "Second aunt, the milk meal is finished, you should come out to serve." ”

Xue Jiao thought that she was a child anyway, so she played the child's scoundrel. When Mrs. Chen heard this, her face hung down, and Zhao hated so much that her teeth were sore and had to come out to clean up, and Li took the opportunity to be pulled away by Chen Xuejiao.

On the morning of the second day, after Xue Jiao and Qi Ping fed Hai Dongqing, Han Xingjian personally pressed the carriage to pick them up and go to Han's house as guests, accompanied by Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang.

Xue Jiao used a basket to hold the tea eggs, and Xue Ru wrapped a layer of cotton on top of the tea eggs to prevent the tea eggs from getting cold.

Li picked a basket of fresh vegetables in the vegetable garden and brought them to the Han family, and brought a pair of insoles to Bi Tao.

Xue Jiao got into the carriage and drove all the way to the town singing and laughing.
