The man's table was still drinking, and the woman's table had already been eaten.

Mrs. Chen is in charge of everything, directing her daughter-in-law to pour the leftover soup into a large basin with a wide mouth, and put some cabbage and cut radishes at night, which is another good dish.

Chen Xuejiao knew that the Li family had been busy all day at noon, and stood for a long time to serve soup to Mrs. Chen, and her legs were already sore. On the other hand, the two aunts of Zhao and Zhang, one shirked and couldn't smell fishy, and the other said that he was not clean and didn't enter the pot house when cooking.

The Zhao family and the Zhang family refused to eat at all, as if they had discussed it, and piled the empty plates and dirty bowls stained with vegetable soup in front of the Li family.

Xue Ru rolled up her sleeves and was about to move the pile of dishes back to the pot house to be cleaned.

In the past, I begged for a living under Mrs. Chen, and I was tortured by her in the winter, and I was sent to Xiaohuai River to wash clothes in the winter, and Li's hands were frozen like carrots, and I would get chilblains every winter. Several children in the big house feel sorry for their mother, washing vegetables and washing dishes, and they have always rushed to do it, so as not to let the Li family get their hands dirty.

Chen Xuejiao=== felt like a mirror in her heart, complained about Li's grievances, quietly pulled a handful of Xueru's shirts, and said to Zhao and Zhang: "Second aunt and third aunt, my mother has been cooking lunch for a while, I heard that you think the pot house is fishy, and you didn't enter the pot house at noon, it was Aunt Yu who helped cook the meal." Presumably, the two aunts want to wash the dishes after dinner, whether it is cooking or brushing the dishes, as long as they are filial piety. ”

Chen Xuejiao said this frankly, her eyes were clear, and she did not shy away from the sudden change in the faces of Zhao and Zhang.

Li was afraid of annoying his mother-in-law, and wanted to bring this back, but before he could open his mouth, he was rushed by Mrs. Wang: "What's the matter, sister, my daughter-in-law has left my aunt to let her cook." ”

Old Lady Wang's face hung down like a curtain, and Qingyu remained silent. lowered his eyebrows and held Mrs. Wang's arm.

Zhao and Zhang looked at each other, what is this, this big concubine and Mrs. Chen are all the way, and they have always been at odds with their daughter-in-law, and they used to be guests at home, and their favorite thing is to sit cross-legged on the kang and talk to their sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, about their daughter-in-law. Back then, the embroidered nose was not the nose. The eyes are not eyes, there is not a gentle word in the mouth, even if he comes to the Chen family, he has the same face embroidered as indiscriminately.

This time, I changed my sex, and I regarded a woman born in fireworks as a living baby.

Mrs. Chen saw that her sister-in-law was angry, and complained in her heart that the two daughters-in-law of Zhao and Zhang did not give her a long face, which made her lose face in front of her mother's family.

"It's fishy. Why don't you eat it and don't feel fishy, and stuff the big fish and meat into your mouth? Mrs. Chen's gaze swept over the faces of her two daughters-in-law in turn.

Zhao and Zhang's hearts trembled, and they didn't dare to distinguish, so they took off their newly made velvet jackets, removed the hairpin ring, wiped off the fat powder, and carried them to the pot house one by one.

Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction, looked at her sister-in-law and said, "The daughter-in-law will be cured." If you die, she will climb on your head. ”

The conversation is not over yet. The corner of his eye swept over the smiling Qingyu beside him, and he stopped talking.

If Wenxiu was still alive, Mrs. Wang would have no scruples when she said this. But her current daughter-in-law is Qingyu, I thought it was from the door, and it made no difference if she pinched it and crushed an ant. But when I really got along, I found out that this daughter-in-law was a difficult person to get along with. If you don't provoke her, she respects you, if you provoke her, you will pick up your face when you leave, and you will make trouble for three days after passing the door. Old Mrs. Chen and Wang Baozhu are afraid of her now. Who made her hold a large handful of silver in her hand? After a long time, Mrs. Chen saw that this was a person who wanted to live, as long as she listened to her in everything, she would not be short of food.

In the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Wang's current life can be described as cooking oil on fire, with constant soup and water every day, and new shoes and socks flowing like they are being purchased at home.

With such a good day, Mrs. Wang doesn't care that Qingyu came out of that sect. chatting in the village every day, who dares to bare her teeth at the Wang family, she pouts her lips and disdains, and she has the ability to find a daughter-in-law with a lot of silver, salty and radish and don't worry about it.

She pulled Mrs. Chen's face just now, also because her daughter-in-law was a guest and had to worry about the Chen family's lunch, for fear that she would be angry, so she refused to throw the money in her hand when she was angry.

The whole heart is like being immersed in the water of a well in winter.

Zhao and Zhang were in the pot house, one guarding a basin, soaking in the cold water, and greasy oil flowers floating on the edge of the basin. Lunch was made by the Li family, so naturally there was no hot water. Zhao and Zhang secretly complained in their hearts, such cold water, how can they not get frostbite when they soak their hands in it, Zhao promised Zhang a box of incense powder, and instigated her to go to the room to bring the hot water bottle. Zhang's cat went in with her waist down, and before the water bottle was picked up, she was caught by Mrs. Chen, and she didn't need to speak, only glanced sideways, and she went to the pot house with an empty hand in fright.

The hot water was not obtained, and the two discussed boiling it in a cauldron, and the damp firewood was stuffed into it, and a handful of smoke came out of the choking throat.

A pot of hot water didn't boil well, and I choked.

Zhao gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and washed the dishes with cold water. The oil flowers floating on the pot couldn't be washed clean, and she was angry and secretly scolded Li for using too much oil for cooking.

Zhang's interface scolded the eldest sister-in-law and the big house's family, and scolded Qingyu: "Fox Meizi, not only coaxing men, but even the old immortal has coaxed, and it is not enough to be in the Wang family, but he ran into the Chen family and the eldest sister-in-law to squeeze the two of us." ”

When it came to Qingyu, Zhao and Zhang became bosom friends, and they scolded one by one.

This time, Qingyu gave them a piece of silk each, but Qingbi and Qinghong are Qingyu's sisters in the door, no matter how good they are, they are all classified as all the way, specializing in seducing men.

"Phew, I listened to my sister-in-law call her sister and sister, and I don't want to think about it, if Wenxiu is still alive, wouldn't she think she is an enemy?"

The two of them were secretly gritting their teeth and scolding, Old Man Chen's table had been eaten, and a large stack of empty plates had been transported into the pot house.

Zhao and Zhang were so angry that they almost fainted.

Zhao put the dishes and chopsticks into the cabinet, his hands froze into carrots, and when he entered the house, the warm heat sprayed in, and his hands regained consciousness, itching and hurting.

After flattering Mrs. Chen for a while, she said that she was uncomfortable and entered the inner room. Xue Yao was looking at the jewelry in the box, gold collars, jade wrenches, jade-inlaid gold earrings, glazed agate strings, pearl and jade hairpins, which were stacked on the bed.

Zhao's grievances were swayed by the pearls of the bed, sitting sideways on the bed, holding the brightest agate in his hand and rubbing it carefully, his eyes could not hide the joy.

"These are all things I have obtained in Dingfu all these years." Xue Yao put a string of pearls in the box, brushed the broken hair on her forehead, the glazed agate grains on her ears shimmered with a dark red luster, and the circle of light reflected on a row of fan-like eyelashes, densely casting shadows on her eyelids, "Just give me the dowry of the outing, these are recorded in the Ding Mansion treasury, if you don't bring it back, the bill will not look good in the future." ”

In the past, the Zhao family thought that the reward was ironclad, and no one could take it away, but I didn't expect that there were many rules in large households, and the reward was not yours, and it had to be registered. It's no wonder that Xue Yao brings more food, cloth, and silver every time she goes home, and occasionally a few hairpins and a few pieces of jade are all in bad condition.

"Cheng, it was originally yours." Zhao picked up a gold ring and put it on his thumb, because his hand was soaked in ice water, his finger was swollen than usual, and he couldn't erase it when he finally put it on, he thought that these things could be distributed to the family, and no matter how bad it was, he had to give some to Qi Lin, as soon as he heard that Xue Yao was going to take them all, Zhao's heart beat a drum, "Those things you gave me last time, I thought I kept them for you, but they were dug up by your milk." ”

Zhao took off the ring vigorously and rubbed off a piece of skin with his thumb. Last time, those hairpins, silver, and fabrics, when I think about it, I feel distressed.

Xue Yao raised her eyelids, and her eyelashes moved: "Milk is getting more and more confused, I said, last time my aunt came to the house, she wore my hairpin on her head." Anyway, those things are not good, but the hairpin that was scraped away by the third aunt is a treasure, but we still asked for it back. ”

Zhao finally took the ring off his thumb, put it on his middle finger again, stretched out his hand, and took a closer look.

Xue Yao found that her mother's hand was red and swollen, got up and walked to the cabinet, took out a red lacquer box from it, felt out a bottle strung with colorful silk threads, opened the lid and a fragrance came out, put it in the palm of her hand and poured a little light green plaster out, turned back to Zhao and helped her apply it on the back of her hand.

"Washing dishes and dishes on a cold day, I haven't been so ruined by your milk over the years." Zhao let Xue Yao massage her.

Xue Yao didn't think so, but she didn't think it on her face, and sighed lightly, letting the ointment melt: "When I first entered the Ding Mansion in the small kitchen, it was so cold in winter, and I washed the vegetables with cold water on a snowy day, and I didn't dare to say anything when my hands were frozen and swollen." ”

Zhao knew that Xue Yao had suffered a lot when she was a little girl in Ding Mansion, but she didn't expect it to be like this, and she cried at the moment.

"Fortunately, I won the battle, and the deed of sale was given to me." Xue Yao handed the bottle of ointment to Zhao.

"Mother just looks forward to your beautiful scenery all the way to Dingfu." Zhao said.

"Mother, don't worry, when I gain a firm foothold in Ding Mansion, I will take you, my brother and sister to Xuzhou Mansion, buy a few houses, and live a quiet life as a family." Xue Yao talked about her brother, her eyes were full of smiles, and she whispered, "Sun Mansion seems to be active again." ”

The Zhao family never thought that Xue Yao would plan for them, although Chen Zichang was not included here, but he had already separated from himself, out of sight and out of mind, and went to Xuzhou Mansion to live in the future, with Chen Zichang making trouble at home.

"Is this true?" Zhao raised his eyebrows, and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded, "I fell in love with Qi An before, and I don't know how many girls have promised." ”

But I was still happy in my heart, Qi Lin was even more silent when she went home this time, and she was reading in the house every day, if it wasn't for Xue Yao to reveal it to her, she wouldn't know.

Zhao had a smile on his face, and the smile became thicker and thicker.

Good days ahead, Xue Yao entered the Ding Mansion, Qi Lin was admitted to Xiucai, and in the future, Xue Miao married into a good family, and she enjoyed endless children's happiness. If she goes to Xuzhou Mansion in the future, Qi Lin really asks for the sister of the Sun family, she closes the door to live her own life, and she also takes her mother-in-law's money, which is better than being angry with her mother-in-law at home.
