Chapter Thirty-Four, Children
The embroidery workshop is gradually on the right track, and Shen Mei will go over every day, without Liu Bicao worrying, still taking care of housework at home.
On this day, after finishing the work at home, I took out the small jar from the kitchen, and the eggs in it were stored for making salted eggs at home, and now it is full.
Liu Bicao took Shen He in the yard while making salted eggs while listening to the "Three Character Classic" she learned by memorization.
The yard has been carefully tended by willow grass, and flowers and plants are planted in a patchwork manner. The vines on the fence were already full of melons, and anyone who walked outside the courtyard of the Shen family would say a word of admiration.
It stands to reason that there is nothing to worry Liu Bicao about in her current life, and now the Shen family is thriving, if you want to talk about things, there is really one thing.
That is, after marrying into the Shen family for more than a year, Liu Bicao was not pregnant, although Shen Jinqian and the Shen family never mentioned this matter in front of Liu Bicao, but they couldn't stand the gossip in the village.
Moreover, the flower girl who married to Shanghe Village at about the same time as Liu Bicao also had a happy pulse two days ago. The gossip is even worse, as soon as Liu Bicao goes out, she either stares at her belly, or says something that she doesn't have. Liu Bicao didn't like to listen, so she simply didn't go out.
However, how can these things be avoided if you want to? No, Mrs. Liu came with Liu Bicao's second sister-in-law, Xiao Zhou.
No matter how old woman Liu is also an elder, although this elder has never looked like an elder, Shen's mother still suppressed her unhappiness and welcomed people into the house.
"Why is her grandmother here?" Shen's mother felt strange, Liu Bicao had married into the Shen family for more than a year, but this Liu wife had never opened the Shen family. Intuitively, it's not a good thing.
"I'm just here to see the green grass girl, I haven't been free before, come and have a look today." Mrs. Liu was full of smiles, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were so deep that they could trap mosquitoes.
Liu Bicao pursed her lips, not believing her words.
"My granddaughter, I can do it since I was a child, but my life is not good, my mother has left since I was a child, and I have always loved her the most." Old woman Liu said and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
Liu Bicao and Shen's mother glanced at each other, this is not the sun coming from the west, this appearance is really disgusting.
However, the two of them had nothing to do today, so they quietly looked at Mrs. Liu, waiting for her next step.
"Bicao has been married to the Shen family for more than a year and has not been able to have a son and a half daughter for the Shen family, I feel ashamed, my mother." Old woman Liu paused, "It's my Liu family who can't live with your Shen family." ”
"Yes, grandma worries about this every day at home, she can't eat well, and she can't sleep well." Xiao Zhou looked at the look that Mrs. Liu gave her, and said without blushing and heartbeat.
didn't give Shen's mother a chance to speak, and Mrs. Liu took over:
"A few days ago, her second sister-in-law had never been pregnant before, I heard that there is a temple in the town next door to ask for a child, very spiritual, as long as this woman's family sincerely goes to live for a few days, she will definitely be able to conceive after coming back."
When Liu Erlei came before, he also heard it, and he also heard it from the people in the village in the past few days, and Hua Niang seemed to be pregnant after coming back from the temple of asking for children.
Although she didn't believe it, Liu Bicao still asked curiously: "Is it really that spiritual?" ”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she thought that Liu Bicao believed it, and immediately came to the spirit, and compared while talking, she said that the temple of Qiuzi was heaven and earth.
"However, if you want to go to Qiuzi Temple, you have to go to greet the host in advance, your second sister-in-law was like this when she went before, I know the host, I will go and talk to the host, it can be a lot cheaper."
When Liu Bicao heard this, what else didn't she understand, this old woman Liu was using the signboard of the Temple to ask for money.
"So what?"
"You give me ten taels of silver, and I'll go and tell the host in advance to let you stay for a few more days." Mrs. Liu thought that Liu Bicao had listened to her words.
Liu Bicao sneered in her heart, as soon as she opened her mouth, it was ten taels of silver, and her appetite was really not small.
"I don't have any money, you can go, then I won't go to the temple of asking for children."
"If you are not filial, you will not be able to give birth to children, and when the Shen family is divorced, don't go back to my Liu family, my Liu family does not raise idlers." Old woman Liu looked at Liu Bicao with disgust.
She didn't believe that there was a family that didn't care about their children.
"You don't lay eggs, you lose money, you will feel good when the time comes." Old woman Liu revealed her previous vicious face.
Liu Bicao was used to hearing it in the Liu family before, and felt that there was nothing. However, Shen's mother now treats Liu Bicao as her own daughter, and it hurts on the tip of her heart.
After listening to Mrs. Liu's words, she was really angry, and pointed to the door: "Get out of here, our Shen family doesn't welcome your surname Liu." ”
"Hmph, you and I are rare to your Shen family, Liu Bicao, I tell you, go and get me ten taels of silver, your fourth uncle will use it when he gets married."
Liu Bicao helped Shen's mother sit down, "I said, there is no money." ”
"Bicao, why don't you just take a few pieces of embroidery work in the thatched hut in the west and sell it? The marriage of the fourth uncle is a major event for the Liu family. Xiao Zhou said.
Liu Bicao looked at Xiao Zhou coldly, and paid attention to this person who was still in the embroidery workshop.
"That's Shen Mei's, not mine." Liu Bicao said lightly, "I broke off the relationship with the Liu family when I got married, and it has nothing to do with me who gets married." ”
"You white-eyed wolf, let me tell you, you will never be pregnant in your life, you will not be able to have children. Like your short-lived mother, you won't live long. Old woman Liu scolded, and after relieving her anger, she took Xiao Zhou's long away.
"Bicao, don't be careful, children's affairs are fate, I was also cautious and humble after three years of marriage, besides, even if there is anything, the Shen family is not only cautious and humble." Mother Shen patted Liu Bicao's hand.
Liu Bicao was afraid that Shen's mother would worry, so she nodded in compliance. However, Mrs. Liu's words were remembered by Liu Bicao in the end, I was afraid that she would really be like Mrs. Liu said, she couldn't have a child, and she herself wanted a child with Shen Jinqian.
For several days, Liu Bicao dreamed that she couldn't give birth to a child when she slept at night, and she and Shen Jinqian died alone.
"What's wrong with you these days?" Shen Jinqian had already discovered that something was wrong with Liu Bicao, and when he got up this morning, he saw her sitting on the bed in a daze.
Liu Bicao came back to her senses, looked at him, and finally shook her head to say that she was fine.
Shen Jinqian's foot was withdrawn, he sat down next to her, and stretched out his hand to hug her, "Who bullied you?" Or is there someone in the family who says something about you? ”
A few days ago, Shen Jinqian and the dart bureau went to the provincial capital, and they didn't know anything about the gossip in the village and the words that Mrs. Liu came to say.
Shen's mother has always cared about the affairs of the young couple, so she didn't tell Shen Jinqian, and Liu Bicao was afraid that Shen Jinqian would worry, so she didn't tell him.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Liu Bicao's heart warmed, and she put her head close to his chest: "Don't talk nonsense, who can bully me at home?" ”
On weekdays, Shen's father and Shen's mother are good to Liu Bicao, and Shen Jinqian sees the respect for Liu Bicao in the following days, and knows that her family will not give her anger.
"Is that Boan in town? Still is...... What have I done lately that you're not happy about? ”
Liu Bicao raised her head: "You also know that you have done something to make me unhappy?" ”
Shen Jinqian heard her say this, and instantly became nervous, he didn't forget the feeling of being left out before. Frowning and thinking about what she had done, she couldn't think of it for a long time, and she lowered her head and wanted to ask Liu Bicao, when she couldn't help laughing.
"Poof" Liu Bicao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, tease you." But if you do do something, I won't forgive you. ”
As he spoke, he got up from his arms, dressed himself and made the bed, and did not care that he went out of the room.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law went out, Shen Jinqian sighed, his daughter-in-law was getting more and more naughty.
