Xue Yao and Qi Lin disappeared at the end of the village under the gaze of everyone.

In the envious eyes of the villagers, Mrs. Chen felt that her face was bright, her eyebrows and corners of her eyes were smiling, and the whole person was no longer in the hard state.

His eldest grandson and granddaughter are really promising, so let the rich Ding Mansion rush to pick them up.

Mrs. Chen walked towards the courtyard with her head held high.

Seeing that his son and daughter had gone back, Zhao's heart was empty, and his tears couldn't help falling, so he quickly wiped it with a handkerchief for fear of being seen.

The old hen in the hen's coop laid her eggs, clucked and flew to the fence.

Mrs. Chen stood at the mouth of the chicken nest and ordered Qi An, who was standing not far from her: "You go to the chicken nest and pick up the eggs." ”

Qi An was a little afraid of Mrs. Chen, and when he heard this, he quickly climbed into the chicken coop, picked up the eggs and handed them to Mrs. Chen.

Old Mrs. Chen's face pulled and she said in a deep voice: "Why did you pick up the eggs and hand them to me, and let me send them to the upper house jar at such an old age?" You won't send it over yourself? Your mother is getting more and more disgusted with you, and picking up an egg is also grinding. ”

Qi An's face turned pale when he heard this, and tears of grievance came out.

Mrs. Chen is like this, if Qi An picks up the eggs and doesn't hand them to her, she will say that Qi An would dare to dispose of the eggs without her in his eyes; gave it to her, and was also reprimanded, saying that Qi An asked her to work. Either way, she's got it.

Zhao hugged Mrs. Chen, pursed his lips, and sneered with a hint of sneer. Xue Miao, who was beside her, saw that Qi An was reprimanded, and her face showed a gloating expression.

Lee's face was full of embarrassment and distress.

Chen Xuejiao looked at it coldly, and she was angry in her heart.

Chen Qi'an is still a child, so he reprimanded him regardless of his face.

"Qi An, come here." Chen Xuejiao beckoned to Chen Qi'an.

Chen Qi'an walked over aggrievedly, still holding the freshly picked egg in his hand, and the egg was hot in his hand.

"Since the milk dislikes this egg, she simply can't see it, and this egg belongs to me." Chen Xuejiao picked up the egg from Qi An's hand and said with a smile.

This was obviously said to Mrs. Chen.

"This egg was laid by my chicken, who said it was going to be given to you. You're a girl, you know how to fight me, and there's no big or small in your eyes. "Mrs. Chen is full of confidence.

"It's the milk that I don't want to ask for, just now Qi An gave you eggs, but you didn't want to continue, but instead reprimanded Qi An." Chen Xuejiao did not have a trace of fear in her eyes.

"You're a girl, I'm not angry? Aren't you just selling that tea egg, and after making a few pennies, your waist will harden. There is no hairy little girl, as long as you are in the Chen family, you don't want to make waves. As soon as Mrs. Chen was annoyed, she didn't have a door on her mouth, and everything that should be said and what should not be said was poured outside.

Hearing this, Li's face turned red and he defended: "Mother, Xue Jiao doesn't have any ideas, even if she makes money by selling tea eggs to honor you and her father." ”

"I didn't want to make waves, what waves can I make with a little girl, but the milk is so noisy for an egg, so that outsiders don't know if it's that I'm ignorant as a girl, or that my milk is unreasonable as an elder." Chen Xuejiao said lightly.

These words frightened the Li family, and they could be regarded as challenging Mrs. Chen's authority.

When Zhao heard this, he unconsciously looked at Chen Xuejiao. is a clever girl who wants to be strong, I heard Xue Miao say that when she and Xue Yao entered the ear room, Mama Lin once pulled her to ask long questions and praised her for being smart. Xue Yao revealed that Ding Mansion will release marriageable maids every month, and a group of little maids are entering, I am afraid that Mama Lin has taken a fancy to this girl.

Mrs. Chen was speechless with anger.

In the past two days, Chen Zichang's injuries have gradually healed, and Mrs. Chen's mood has improved. When Mrs. Chen's mood is good, the whole family will not be able to live in peace, because she has enough leisure to control the whole family. One will look at this unpleasant, and the other will see that it is wrong, anyway, I have to talk about it several times a day, and among them, the one who has been nagged the most by Mrs. Chen is none other than the Li family.

"You're the opposite, aren't you? Don't give me these nonsense, you learned a few words from your Xiucai father to suppress me, right? You have the ability, you go to the government to sue me, I am seventy or eighty years old, and I still suffer from your idleness all day long. Mrs. Chen helped Li and shouted tremblingly.

"Oh, what's going on, isn't it just an egg? Qi An is too, he usually picked up eggs and sent them to the jar under the bed, but today he doesn't know. Zhao smiled, a joking tone, but in fact, he hid the needle, "Mother, their children are not sensible, what do you care about?" Don't be stupid, don't be deaf, don't be a family, Qi An and Xuejiao are at fault, and they are also under the care of the eldest sister-in-law, you just let go of these messy things and wait to enjoy the blessings. ”

Although Zhao was explaining for Qi An and Xue Jiao, he accused Li of not disciplining the children well, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire to Mrs. Chen, who had always been accustomed to handling Li.

Sure enough, all of Mrs. Chen's fire was transferred to Li's head.

"You are also a mother, everyone outside says that you are a talented lady, and you still act so out of tune, and you two children bully one of me." Old Mrs. Chen stared at Li and said.

Li has always adhered to the principle of filial piety to her in-laws, but it does not mean that she does not care about her children.

Mrs. Chen scolded Qi An for no reason, and Li's heart was full of grievances, plus Qi An was Li's youngest child, so it hurt a little more.

Li Shi listened to the accusatory words, and said lightly: "My mother has something coming at me, it's not about the child." He smiled faintly at Zhao, "Thank you brother and sister for bothering, it's not mine that I didn't discipline the child, I will discipline it well in the future, Xue Jiao and Qi Ping are too young to afford such a big hat as messy." ”

Zhao's sneering, Li's salty and non-salty words, as if he had punched the cotton. Hearing Li say "messy big hat", she was struck in the heart, and her man Chen Zichang was called a mess of things outside.

"What is noisy, you can't live in peace for a day." Old Man Chen shouted in the house, which was considered to be the relief of the siege.

Mrs. Chen went down the steps along the pole and was helped into the upper room by Zhao and Xue Miao.

"This egg is not ours, you go and send it to your milk, the family will not look up and look down, even if you quarrel a few words, it doesn't matter." Li said to Xue Jiao with a smile, as if to comfort her.

Xue Jiao didn't think about taking the egg, so she followed into the upper room.

"What are you doing here?" Xue Miao asked.

"I'm here to deliver eggs, and by the way, I'll see my grandfather." Xue Jiao said confidently.

After these days, Old Man Chen felt more and more that Xue Jiao was a promising child, and when he heard that Xue Jiao came to see him, a smile appeared on his face.

Mrs. Chen sat on the kang, and Zhao personally served tea.

After a while, the Zhang family also got in, sat on the kang with his ass, and looked at the Zhao family.

"Why do the four brothers and sisters keep looking at me, do I have flowers on my face?" Zhao smiled uncomfortably.

"Second sister-in-law, don't hide it from me, Xueyao has such a big face, Ding Fu sent and picked it up, did she bring you a lot of good things when she came to the house this time, and you also took it out to open our eyes." Zhang's big horn said.

Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "What's the matter, she is also a servant in that house, and the monthly routine is fixed, not enough to buy flowers for herself." ”

"Don't lie to people, I don't know, when did Xue Yao go home and didn't wear gold and silver, can she give you some self-esteem?" Zhang pursed his lips, looked at a jasper gilt hairpin on Xue Miao's head and sighed, "This hairpin like Xue Miao's head is worth a lot of money, it was given by Xue Yao, Xue Yao is really generous, tsk." ”

Xue Miao was praised by Zhang's family, her brain was hot, and her words gurgled out: "That's not, this hairpin was given to me by my sister, you see this hairpin is good, it is not worth anything in my sister's eyes, my sister also gave my mother a few better ones." ”

Zhao's anxious face turned crimson, and his eyes gestured to Xue Yao.

Who knew that Xue Yao saw Xue Jiao in the house, and she wanted to show off, so she said more energetically: "Fourth aunt, my sister said that the rouge she used was three taels of silver a box, and this time I went home and brought me and my mother a few boxes, and the bracelets and clothes rewarded by Nafu brought a few big burdens to my mother." Who let the fourth aunt not have a good girl, otherwise you can enjoy it like my mother. ”

Xue Jiao heard this and looked at Mrs. Chen, only to see that Mrs. Chen's face was pale.

Xue Jiao couldn't help but add a fire to Xue Miao and said, "Sister Xue Miao, I don't believe what you said, Ding Mansion is not Sister Xue Yao's, can she take things home if she wants?" ”

Xue Miao glared at Xue Jiao, and said proudly: "That's fake, I don't believe you can go to my mother's room to have a look." ”

Xue Jiao glanced at Zhang.

Zhang moved his butt and said, "Second sister-in-law, do you want me to open my eyes." It's a pity that I don't have a good girl, or you ask Xue Yao to find a job for my big egg in Dingfu, he has the strength to endure hardships. ”

Zhao was anxious to slap Xue Miao. If these things are known to Mrs. Chen, can she still monopolize them?

Sure enough, Old Lady Chen began to have seizures, stared at Zhao and said coldly, "Second daughter-in-law, what Xue Miao said is true?" ”

Zhao hurriedly defended: "Mother, you can't listen to Xue Miao's nonsense, how can she know when she is young." Just like Xue Jiao said, Ding Mansion is not Xue Yao's master, so she can take things home if she wants. ”

Old Lady Chen blushed and remained silent.

Zhao stood up in fright.

"Mother, the rules of that big family are big, Xue Yao said that the rewards are all recorded, if one is not good, the master will take it away, where does Xue Yao dare to bring those things. is the hairpin on Xue Miao's head, which Xue Yao also spent his own money on. Xue Yao has to support Qi Lin every month. Zhao's tears fell.

At this time, Xue Miao saw the clues, and knew that she had fallen into the trap of the Zhang family and Xue Jiao, and after reacting, she also followed the Zhao family to justify: "Milk, I deliberately used this to say the fourth aunt, my sister didn't bring anything home, but if she brought it, can she still honor the milk?" ”

Mrs. Chen sat upright and did not speak.

Zhang pouted.

"Mother, I won't tell you, Xue Yao did give a few pieces of fabric, I was thinking of making a few clothes for Qi Lin, the people he interacted with in the White Horse Academy were all noble sons, and the cold ones that couldn't be worn made people laugh." Zhao took out Qi Lin as a shield.

Old Mrs. Chen's face turned slightly pale. She didn't believe it in her heart, but because Xue Jiao and Zhang's were not good at Zhao's, anyway, she had time, and she planned to go to Zhao's house to search in person.

Zhao was relieved to see that Old Lady Chen's face was slightly softened.

Zhang shouted in disbelief: "I don't believe this." ”

was glanced at by Mrs. Chen.

"Second daughter-in-law, where are the three printed silk pieces from Suzhou and Hangzhou given by Ding's house?" Old Mrs. Chen asked coldly.

Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I took it into the house, I was afraid that someone would touch it if I put it here." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Zhang and Xuejiao.

Xue Jiao felt uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "I saw the flower cloth, strange bright cloth, the second aunt cut her clothes to wear, you and Sister Xue Miao stand together, people still think they are sisters." After speaking, he covered his sleeves and smiled.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, there was a fire in her heart, and she quietly took the things sent by the Ding Mansion into the house, and put her mother-in-law in a certain position.

Zhang said jealously: "The second sister-in-law is old and pretty, can she wear such bright clothes at such an age?" Xue Miao wears about the same. ”

Zhao's face turned crimson, and he said with a forced smile: "I look at that color, it looks like a young girl's family, so I took it and planned to make clothes for Xue Miao." ”

Xue Jiao looked at Xue Miao, who was smug on her face, and added a fire to Mrs. Chen and said, "The last time my little aunt came to the house, I saw that the handkerchief she was holding was very similar to this fabric. ”

When the old lady heard this, she shook her spirits and ordered Zhao to go and get the cloth.

Zhao took out the cloth, and Zhang's eyes widened and leaned up.

"You can't wear such good materials at home all day long, Xue Miao can't suppress this flower when she is young, I will give it to Wen Yan when I look at the material, she has also made a lot of efforts for our family every year. Drove Ming'er Wenyan to visit relatives at home, and gave her this material as a return gift. Mrs. Chen touched the material and said to Zhao.

Zhao's distressed heart was dripping blood, but he was afraid that Mrs. Chen would think about Xue Yao for giving herself a body, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Xue Miao's aggrieved tears swirled, and she glared at Zhang and Xue Jiao with hatred.
