In the end, he didn't agree to help Wen Yan embroider an embroidered image of Guanyin, not because of money, but because Wen Yan was full of bad intentions, and Chen Xuejiao really didn't want to have anything to do with her.

When it comes to Wen Yan's affairs, Mr. Chen naturally stands on Mrs. Chen's side, after all, Wen Yan is his youngest daughter, she grew up in front of him, and she was spoiled, and she finally set a good family affair, but this girl's temperament is the same as her mother-in-law's family, and she has not been favored by her mother-in-law since she got married, and the relationship with her son-in-law has also been tense in the past two years. It doesn't matter if you have a son, you will have a place, and your in-laws will not dare to bully you at will, but it is more difficult for Wen's sons and daughters, and she gave birth to two daughters in a row, and her belly will no longer move. Thinking of his daughter-in-law being coldly watched by her sister-in-law, Old Man Chen was distressed and couldn't sleep all night.

Li rejected his mother-in-law and father-in-law, and this was the first time.

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she almost threw away the half of the sauce elbow on the table, and shouted at Old Man Chen: "It's not what happened, you can't look down on us one by one, don't you have two stinky money in your hand, but you can put something in front of me." ”

Old man Chen was full of disappointment in his heart for Li's refusal to send Guanyin to Wen Changxiu, but he was a father-in-law, and it was not good for him to beg Li in person.

Mrs. Chen opened her mouth and scolded the Li family for piggybacking on Mrs. Li: "...... The dead old woman is blindly coaxing me, and I scold my daughter-in-law for getting in her way. She still has the face to say that I don't guard the chickens that don't lay eggs at home. ”

Mrs. Chen patted her thigh and stood up, and suddenly thought that Mrs. Li's third daughter-in-law also did not give birth to a son. Old Man Chen rolled his eyes and turned to ignore it, Old Mrs. Chen sat down and stood up again, her eyes drifted out, and she saw that the light in the big room was still on. The mouth was not clean and scolded, and when Old Man Chen looked at her like this, he only thought that she was going to the North Wing to fight with her mother-in-law, and glanced at her fiercely. The eldest son was born to him in the end, and he was a good-looking person, and his disappointment in the Li family was dispelled by his wife's cruel scolding.

"What are you doing, what are you talking about at night, not afraid of people's jokes." Old Man Chen pulled his wife back onto the kang. Smoke out the pouch. Slowly exhale a puff of cigarette.

Mrs. Chen couldn't wait to snatch the cigarette pouch and break it, Chen Xiucai sent things to the house again and again, and every piece of the big house to the upper room was given to Mr. Chen. What Mrs. Chen gave to Mrs. Chen was nothing more than some pollen and fruits to eat, and the room was full of spicy tobacco leaves, and Mr. Chen was holding a gold-plated and silver-inlaid cigarette pouch and sucking it slowly, and a pearl tied to a red rope at the low end of the cigarette pouch reflected the pearl. Stung Mrs. Chen's eyes.

"Poor Wenyan! My daughter! Mrs. Chen pounded the bed board and cried, thinking of Wen Yan's situation. The tears were also seven points more true, "What's wrong with giving Wen Yan an embroidered portrait, that Wen Yan is not her own sister-in-law, and she still asks for money." Why don't you give up that face, okay, since the account is so clear. I'll do the math for her, and don't say anything else. I only said that I was beaten to marry into the Chen family, and the boss was not arranged by me to eat, wear, live, and travel clothes for the four seasons, and the white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with it was now developed, but the eyes were not eyes and the nose was not the nose. ”

Mrs. Chen scolded and cried, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled into a ball. Old man Chen sat at the head of the bed and smoked and closed his eyes, he knew that the old wife was heartbroken for the sake of his daughter, and the more he scolded, the more he scolded, the more he scolded, when the oil lamp was finished, Mrs. Chen was still clapping her hands and scolding, he picked up the cigarette pouch and knocked on the head of the bed, the cigarette pouch was welded strongly, no matter how you knocked, Mrs. Chen jumped up with a "startled", saw that her husband was really angry, wiped his face with a handkerchief and rested, pulled out the footbasin from behind the door, poured boiling water, scalded his feet and asked: "Are you not worried about the girl's affairs?" If you go to Wen Ying's place tomorrow, Wen Yan is Wen Ying's sister-in-law, I don't believe that they will have no place to help Wen Yan in the future. ”

Old man Chen didn't say anything, he was pampering Wen Yan, and he also knew that the cost of an embroidered statue was not three or five taels of silver that could be obtained. said that he also understood in his heart that the things he did when he was young really chilled the hearts of the children in front of him, how could he be willing to beg Wenying with an old face.

Mrs. Chen was full of grievances, looked at Mr. Chen coldly, and her heart was half cold, she didn't expect her to be strong for a lifetime, but her husband didn't have the same heart with her when she was old. For the fact that the boss died and lived, Old Man Chen spoke coldly to her behind her back, and the last time Wen Yan came to the house, he even threatened to take a break from herself, and if she was really divorced, it would be better to let herself die.

Old Man Chen raised his feet and ignored the dripping water on the ground, so he put it on the bed and ignored Old Mrs. Chen.

"What's going on in your heart?" Mrs. Chen couldn't hold back in her heart, even screaming and jumping, and wiped his feet with a thick cloth, and blew out the light, Mrs. Chen cried when she talked about Wen Yan, and scolded Li again, Old Man Chen beat the bed board angrily, and the old couple tossed until late at night before going to sleep.

In addition to Qi An and Qi Ping, Li took the girls to the embroidery workshop all day, and after a day of hard work, he was really tired, and he went to sleep after turning off the lights when he came back from the upper room.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the faint sound of quarrels in the upper room, and the sound of Old Man Chen beating the bed board was too loud, and it was spread all over the yard, followed by the suppressed crying of Old Lady Chen.

"What's going on?" Li Shi turned over, "It's good during the day, but it's sad at night." ”

Li is worried that if Old Man Chen gets angry, Chen Xiucai will not be safe running outside, you must know that Old Mrs. Chen is not something that ordinary people can bear, and Li is afraid that Old Man Chen will not be able to resist his age.

"Mother, hurry up and go to sleep, I have to go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow morning." Xue Jiao naturally heard the sound of the quarrel in the upper room.

"I wonder if your grandma and your grandfather are making a fuss...... I'm afraid it's for your sister-in-law to send a son to Guanyin. Li got out of bed and listened through the window, the night wind in early autumn was cold, Li pulled his clothes, "I look at your father a little unhappy." ”

Li is a soft-hearted person, although she hates Wen Yan, but after all, she is a girl from the Chen family, and she is a little unbearable in her heart.

"Mother, don't think about it so much, you and your sister are right to refuse, believe it or not, even if you send the picture of Guanyin to send your son, maybe your aunt will dislike you and sarcastically mock her for not having a son." Xueru, who has never interjected, opened her mouth and hit the nail on the head.

Xue Jiao and Xue Ru slept in a quilt and couldn't help but shake her hand.

At this time, Mrs. Li sat up and spit a mouthful of phlegm into the spittoon: "If you have that heart, don't take this bad thing, you treat your sister-in-law sincerely, but people treat you like a wolf, at that time, it was rumored that her son-in-law was in trouble, why didn't she come to see you, you have a lot of money in this time, it's time to hurry up and calculate you." ”

Mrs. Li has been phlegm a lot lately, and she always has to vomit two or three times at night, so Li poured a cup of hot tea for the old lady and handed it over: "I didn't say anything about it." ”

Through the crack in the door, he saw that the lights were still on in Qi An's house, he read every day very late, and it was about to be autumn, he studied hard day and night this time, just to prevent Chen Qilin from taking the lead alone.

Li wrapped his clothes tightly, didn't think about the big house, scooped up the Sichuan shellfish and pear soup from the stove outside, and brought a bowl of small dumplings from the grate, and put them in the tray for his son. Li was worried that Qi An would hurt his mind by reading at night, so he hung a pot on the stove outside, separated two layers with a grate, boiled soup at the bottom, put all kinds of supper food on the grate, and changed patterns every day, chicken soup, ginseng soup, pear soup, white fungus soup, the heat of the soup warmed all kinds of pancakes and dumplings on the grate, and often took the hot ones for Qi An to eat at night.

Li was originally scheduled to go to Xuzhou Mansion to pick up a batch of silk on the second day, but Chen Xiucai asked someone to bring it from Sichuan, and he came home a few days after selling the batch of goods in his hand. Last time, the Guanyin family who asked for peace went to Xuzhou Mansion, because they were in a hurry, and they didn't let the children see the prosperity of Xuzhou Mansion, especially Jinghao and Xueru didn't even have a good visit to Baitu Town, this time it happened that there was a temple fair in Xuzhou Mansion, Li and Xuejiao discussed, and took Mrs. Li, Xueru, and Jinghao to go together, Qi An and Qi Ping wanted to go to the private school to study and couldn't take leave, leaving him two at home.

Early in the morning, Li said to Cai, who got up early to grind tofu: "Third brother and sister, I will go to Xuzhou Mansion today, if I can't come back, I will trouble you to take care of Qiping." ”

Qi An She is not at ease, the only thing she is worried about is Qi Ping, boy, it is the time to Tao.

Cai Shi didn't wait for her to finish, wet hands to grab beans and said: "What is there to help here, Qi Ping has been here to watch these two days, if the sister-in-law is not at ease, I will let your third brother go to the private school twice a day." ”

Li smiled: "This is not necessary. Suddenly remembering something, he pulled Xuewa and said, "Xuewa has never been to Xuzhou Mansion when she is so old, so why don't you play with her this time." ”

When Xuewa heard this, her eyes lit up, and she looked directly at Cai. Cai's saw her daughter's pitiful expression: "Okay, follow your aunt, don't run around, you have to be with Sister Xuejiao everywhere, do you hear?" ”

Xuewa cheered and ran to the house to change into a pomegranate skirt, this skirt was still the silk that Chen Xiucai brought to a few girls, and Li also cut one for her.

While he was talking here, Old Man Chen coughed under the eaves of the upper house: "You go to Xuzhou Mansion, I think I will let Qi Ping and Qi An follow them to the room for dinner." ”

Li naturally didn't want to agree, but his father-in-law had spoken, and he had already rejected him last night, and he was embarrassed to refuse today, but it was only a day's work, if he was in a hurry, maybe he would come back tonight, but he would have eaten two meals in the upper room, what could be a big deal, so he responded in one bite.
