Lee picked up the needle and thread and continued to take the soles.

Xue Ru was tying the ropes, twisting the five-colored silk threads together, and said softly: "My mother just said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is rarely like that between mother and daughter, so I thought of my grandmother and my second aunt." In the past, it was really good to see the milk to the second aunt, and the two of them were affectionate and affectionate like mother and daughter, but since the second uncle was injured and the second aunt said that she was sick, the milk was obviously cold to the second aunt. ”

Lee frowned.

Chen Xuejiao thought that Chen Xueru was still too simple, Mrs. Chen was good to the Zhao family before, half of the reason was that she wanted to suppress the big house.

Mrs. Chen is always worried that she is a stepfamily, and in this family, either the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and she never thinks about how to balance various relationships.

"Therefore, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very delicate, and if the daughter-in-law suffers a loss, she will suffer a loss in the word filial piety." Li let out an inaudible sigh.

Chen Xuejiao thought that Li blindly forbeared, and she didn't have any resentment in her heart, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing. Filial piety comes first, if she can't bear it under Mrs. Chen, she can only have a reputation for unfilial piety, not to mention that Chen Zimin is a talent, if there is a reputation for unfilial piety, it will not be good for the reputation of the big house, and the marriage of several children in the future will also be affected.

Mrs. Chen also figured out this, so she was so unscrupulous in targeting the big house.

"Mother, except for filial piety, everything can't earn a single word." Chen Xuejiao leaned on Li's body and said.

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this.

"My mother suffered in abiding by her duty, I heard the second grandmother say, my mother followed her grandmother to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and raised the etiquette and obeyed the rules. Since marrying my father, how much I have been touched, I don't think it's as good as an ordinary crop daughter-in-law, just like my aunt, people are a little mean, but when I encounter aggrieved things, I dare to fight with my mother-in-law, although my reputation is not good, it is better than life. Jing Hao helped Chen Xueru to divide the line, and when she said such a thing, her eyes shone with brilliance.

Chen Xuejiao vaguely felt that her grandmother was not simple, in the farmhouse, she was able to teach her young father to read by herself, and the aunt she taught became everyone's best girl. If Chen Wenying was born in a wealthy family and has the qualities of being virtuous and gentle, it is the icing on the cake, but she was born in the countryside, married to a country man, and this country man is not good to her, she disdains to fight for theories like a country shrew, and finally ends her life with a hemp rope.

Chen Xuejiao thought that Jing Hao was also a person with a soft temperament, but she didn't expect that she was tough in her heart.

Jing Hao mentioned the dead Chen Wenying, and everyone fell silent.

Chen Xuejiao took over and changed the subject: "Mother, the soles of your shoes are so beautiful." In the future, if anyone becomes your daughter-in-law, it will be really blessed, and your mother will definitely be a good mother-in-law at that time. ”

Li was praised by his little daughter, not only smiled: "That's, that's, your mother knows that it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law, and you can't let my daughter-in-law suffer." ”

Chen Xuejiao smiled and pointed to Qi Ping, who was dialing the abacus in the corner of the room: "Qi Ping, my mother is going to tell you about my daughter-in-law." ”

Qi Ping was doing arithmetic and raised his head blankly: "Daughter-in-law? I don't want a daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law can't change sugar to eat. ”

Li Shixue Jiaoxue laughed as quietly as she spoke.

In the pot house, Zhao is cooking on a fire. Xue Miao stood timidly at the door of the pot house, and did not enter the house to help the Zhao family, she thought that the smoke in the pot house had stained her newly changed clothes.

In the past, the Li family had already come to the pot house to help cook. Zhao deliberately waited for a long time, but did not wait for Li, but a burst of laughter came from the north wing Yan Yan, Zhao's teeth itched with hatred, and he always wondered that Li was laughing at himself.

Zhang walked to the door of the pot house and poked inside.

Zhao's eyes lit up, thinking that Zhang was going to help her cook: "Fourth brother and sister, you come to make a fire, and I'll cut vegetables." ”

Zhang stood at the door of the pot house, crossed his waist and did not move: "Second sister-in-law, my mother asked you to cook, I don't dare to disobey my mother, my mother knows that she wants to scold me." ”

Zhao's face was gloomy.

"Second sister-in-law, it's not that I won't help you." Zhang leaned on the door frame of the pot house, thinking of what he had discussed with Chen Zigui in the south wing just now, he still needed Xue Yao of the second room to help him in this matter, and he couldn't annoy the second sister-in-law, so he slowed down, "I can't cook, the second sister-in-law knows, I live in the mountains when I was a child, and I follow my father and brother to hunt, so I can't cook, and the last time I cooked my father's teeth bleed, I don't dare to cook anymore." My sister-in-law has always liked to cook, so why can't she come out today. ”

Zhang's pot didn't open and mention, and Zhao didn't make a sound.

"Xue Miao, you don't help your mother cook." Zhang pushed Chen Xuemiao, who was standing at the door of the pot house.

Chen Xuemiao glared at Zhang fiercely, she was still thinking about the printed silk from the south of the Yangtze River.

The Zhang family didn't care about Chen Xuemiao, and smiled at the Zhao family who was lighting a fire in the pot house and said: "Second sister-in-law, you have raised a good daughter, Xueyao can be energetic, eat and drink spicy food in Ding Mansion, and take you to Xuzhou Mansion for a walk at any time." ”

When Zhao heard this, his heart was in a panic, he was in the upper room just now, if it wasn't for this second goods mentioning Xue Yao's things to bring home, how could he stir up his mother-in-law's anger.

"Xue Yaosheng's beauty has another face in Dingfu. I watched the drama and said that the sons and brothers of big families like to have trouble with the maids who serve in the house, and they get better in the end. Second sister-in-law, according to me, Xueyao also has this blessing, and you will be the in-laws of the Ding Mansion in the future. "Zhang's words are unobstructed, and everything is outward.

She was originally flattering, but Zhao's face turned red when she heard it, and she was touched. Although Xue Yao had decided to enter the Ding Mansion as a concubine, no one in the family knew about this matter except her, but she didn't expect the Zhang family to shout out first.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao snorted, "This kind of thing can also be discussed." ”

Cai's just came out of the West Wing, and Xuewa helped him go to the North Wing to find Li's help make a belly pocket for the child in his belly, and pouted when he heard this.

Cai's family always runs to the big house these days, so he wants to find a suitable time to mention the separation of the family to the big house. Last night, she told the man Chen Zifu what she thought in her heart, and Chen Zifu, who has always been honest, reprimanded her regardless of her stomach, and asked her to dispel the idea of splitting the family.

When she heard Zhang's say that Xue Yao was going to marry into the Ding Mansion, she stopped and wanted to see the excitement.

Zhang looked at Zhao's face and said flatteringly: "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry, I can't speak." It is a great thing for Xue Yao to really marry into the Ding Mansion, which girl from our ten miles and eight towns is as blessed as Xue Yao. ”

Cai's heart snorted, Xue Yao married into Ding's Mansion, thinking of beauty, a maid can have such a big face, where to put Ding's grandmother's grandmother. She is the Ding Mansion, and she is also an aunt who can't be on the stage.

Zhao snorted angrily and said, "It's a shadowless thing, you're chewing maggots, I'll tell my father."

Zhang's is stupid, and she can see that Zhao's is unhappy, she still wonders in her heart, it would be a good thing for Xueyao to marry into Ding's mansion, I don't know why Zhao's is unhappy, if she had such a good daughter, she would have blossomed early.

"Second sister-in-law, you see that I am just talking nonsense, and I haven't told you anything serious." Zhang changed his legs to support his body, "I discussed with our house master, and I need your Xueyao to help us do us a favor." Da Dan is also old, and he can't study like Qi Lin, seeing that he will say goodbye in a few years, he thinks about asking Xue Yao to find something to do for him in Ding Mansion. ”

When Zhao heard this, he sneered in his heart, I said that I had been talking to me for a long time, it turned out that it was for this matter.

"Fourth brother and sister, you have said this more than once, I told you before, this Ding Mansion is not Xueyao's, she is just a big girl, how can she help the big egg." Zhao burned the fire for a long time before it ignited, and couldn't help coughing a few times, "It's not that Xue Yao doesn't help, it's that he can't help." ”

"Why can't you help. I think Xue Yao has the ability, if I can't help it, Ding Mansion can come to pick it up in person. I heard that Qi Lin went to the White Horse Academy and Xue Yao helped arrange it, and my eldest egg didn't go to the White Horse Academy, but just went to the Ding Mansion to get an errand, so why didn't he go. As soon as Zhang heard Zhao's refusal, his heart rose to his throat.

"It is his own ability for Qi Lin to enter the White Horse Academy, if he is not good at studying, the other academies are not willing to ask him." Speaking of his son, Zhao couldn't help but be proud.

Zhang's can't look down on Zhao's smugness: "My big egg goes to Dingfu to be a servant, lead horses, pass on words, and do foul language." I secretly asked the little guy who came this morning, and it was said that he had five taels of silver a year, which was enough to catch up with our family's expenses for a year. The big egg went to Dingfu, saving the family to chew, even the father and mother were happy, and besides, there was also a foil with Xueyao in the future. ”

Big Dan and Xueyao have a foil, and he also deserves it. Zhao scolded in his heart.

In the north wing, Xue Jiao heard the conversation outside, climbed to the window, and looked out through the window.

Zhang's voice was loud, and Xue Jiao could hear it clearly, although she couldn't hear what Zhao said in the pot house, but from Zhang's words, you could basically tell what they were discussing.

"Mother, the fourth aunt wants the big egg to go to Dingfu to be a little girl." Chen Xuejiao turned her head to Li and said.

Xue Ru and Jing Hao glanced at each other and frowned.

"Your fourth aunt saw the scenery of Xueyao and moved her mind." Li Shi raised his head and rubbed his sore neck, "I'm afraid it's also your fourth uncle's idea." ”

Li has always liked the nephew of Big Dan, he is not as lazy as his father, but very diligent, when Li cooks, he will help carry firewood. Usually, he likes to catch birds and fish with Qi Ping, but he doesn't play much with his two brothers.

Chen Xuejiao thought about it, and learned the conversation between herself and Zhao under the eaves of the upper house to Li.

“…… Mother, if the second aunt asks you, you will say that I want to go to Dingfu to be a maid. ”

"What?" Xue Ru and Jing were so anxious that they didn't wait for Li to speak, and said together, "No." ”

Xue Jiao smiled slyly, and Li already understood what Xue Jiao meant.

"Then what's going on, mother, hurry up and persuade." Xue Ru put down her rope and said anxiously.

"Sister, you don't have to worry, it's like this......" Xue Jiao said one by one, and Xue Ru and Jing Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second aunt, I can figure out her, she likes to do things that our big house doesn't like, if I say I don't want to go to Dingfu to be a maid, I don't know how she can be bad. If I said I wanted to go, she would definitely try her best to stop it for Xue Yao's sake. In addition, I saw Mama Lin asking me in the morning, I wanted to pick a maid for Dingfu, although I didn't go, but I didn't want to make trouble and worry my father. Xue Jiao explained.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, which startled everyone.

I only heard the voice of the big egg: "I don't want to be a little girl, what do you think is a good place in Dingfu, what is good about being a slave." ”

Li Shi put down his rope and hurriedly walked out, and Xue Jiao Xue Rujing and Qi Ping also followed.

It turned out that Da Dan was cutting pigweed in the yard, and when he heard Zhang and Zhao saying that they were going to send him to Ding's Mansion as a small servant, they threw the knife and made a fuss.

Da Dan is usually honest, Zhang didn't expect him to react so violently, and couldn't help but scold a few times, which attracted Da Dan's words just now.

Xue Miao and Zhao heard that the big egg was a slave seedling, and their faces turned white with anger.

"I'm starving to death at home, and I'm not going to be a slave." Big Egg stood in the yard and shouted.

"I can't usually see it, but the big egg is bloody." Seeing Li coming out, Cai walked to Li's side and lowered his voice and said.

"What is your name, what's wrong with going to Dingfu, you have new clothes to wear and silver, it's not better than you are now?" Zhang Shi endured his anger and scolded, "You don't know what to do, you crawled out of my stomach, you have to listen to me." ”

Zhang's has been Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law for a long time, and she has learned the same thing, and her scolding words are exactly the same as Mrs. Chen's.

"I'm not going." The big egg straightened his neck.

"You bastard, if you don't go, I can let you. What kind of life do I live with your father, I usually can't eat an egg if I want to, you are my son, who do you care about if you don't care about me? As soon as Xueyao came home, she would bring gold and silver to your second aunt, why didn't you go? Zhang said confidently.

Mrs. Chen heard the scolding in the house at the beginning, but she didn't react, she still gave her daughter-in-law the right to teach her children, she didn't expect Zhang to say such a heart-wrenching word, the old lady was in charge of the family, didn't she slap the old lady in the face when she said this?

Mrs. Chen angrily scolded Zhang in her heart for not being able to get on the stage.

"Whoever loves to go, I won't go. If you are jealous of the second aunt, you can go to the Ding Mansion to do things by yourself. "Big Egg's fierce jumping feet.

"Who are you talking about, you bastard." Zhang said as he took off the soles of his shoes and headed towards the big egg wheel.

The big egg stood upright, didn't run, and hit a few soles raw.

Qi Ping has always had a good relationship with Big Dan, and when he saw Big Dan being beaten, he was angry and shouted: "Brother Big Dan, you run." ”

The big egg reacted, and the girl ran away.

Zhang waved the soles of his shoes and ran after the big egg and scolded: "You bastard, if I don't kill you, I will follow your surname Chen and you will run...... You're running."

After a few circles around the yard, Zhang was tired and panting. Chen Zigui looked into the courtyard through the window, and he scolded his son in his heart for being ignorant, going to Dingfu, eating and drinking, and not wanting to enjoy happiness. If it weren't for the fact that several sisters-in-law were standing in the yard, he would have been eager to hold the soles of his shoes and teach this little rabbit cub a lesson with his mother-in-law.

It's not a way to run like this, Da Dan is smart and hides behind Cai's back.

Zhang waved the soles of his shoes to smoke big eggs, but was caught by Lee.

Zhang struggled, scolding in his mouth. Li was weaker than Zhang's and almost tripped up.

Xue Jiao Xue Ru and Jing Hao also stepped forward and helped Li grab Zhang's arm, and Li took advantage of the situation to pull out the sole of his shoe.

"What are you doing, fourth sister-in-law, you are the mother of the big egg, I won't stop you from beating him, but if you scare your unborn nephew, I will stop you." Cai's big belly straightened, although she was dissatisfied with the big egg's behavior of hiding behind her, but Zhang, who saw his teeth and claws, still opened his mouth to defend the big egg.

The big egg glanced at Cai's gratefully, and then looked at Li's mother and daughter gratefully.

"What's the big deal, the four brothers and sisters are still worth doing, the yard is full of chickens and dogs, and my father and mother are still in the house." Li gently persuaded, but his tone undoubtedly revealed the majesty of the eldest sister-in-law.

The Li family tolerates everything, but the style of behavior makes people can't find any mistakes, and there is still a sister-in-law among the concubines.

Zhang closed his mouth stupidly and glared at the big egg fiercely.

"What is there to discuss, you can solve the problem by hitting the child like this?" Li continued to persuade.

Old Man Chen stood under the eaves, looked at Li with satisfaction, and cleared his throat: "What's the matter just now, the fourth daughter-in-law, you are also a mother, what are you talking about running around the yard with the soles of your shoes." ”

As soon as Old Man Chen spoke, everyone was silent.

Zhang muttered: "I didn't learn from my mother, she took the sole of her shoes last time and smoked our housekeeper, and now she starts talking about me." ”

When Xue Jiao heard this, she looked at Xue Ru and Jing Hao, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but she was afraid of hindering Old Man Chen's face, and the tears she held back came out.

Li and Cai couldn't help but quietly turn their backs, pretending to wipe their eyes with their cuffs and covering their mouths.

When his daughter-in-law said this in person, Old Man Chen was ashamed and angry, and he wanted to take out the money from his elders, so he had to hold back his anger: "Fourth daughter-in-law, you go and call Zigui over, I have something to say." ”

After speaking, he lifted the curtain of the upper room and walked in.

Xue Jiao couldn't hold back any longer, and as soon as Old Man Chen left, they all laughed.
