Chapter 50: Say goodbye to the village chief
The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the He family and the Liu family came to Gu Qingyun's house with a bag and a small bamboo tube of wine.
Seeing the arrival of the two, Li was very happy, and reached out to take the burden and wine, but He inadvertently avoided it.
He's movements made Li's smiling face freeze for a moment, and then said enthusiastically: "Brother and sister are here, please come in." The mother was sitting in the hall. ”
This will not be given, she is not in a hurry!
Later, the mother disliked the clothes according to her arrangement and gave them to her, and the clothes were not hers.
With a smile on his face, Li took He's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the hall.
Seeing that Da Li was selecting grain seeds, He and Liu hurriedly greeted each other, "Mother (grandmother)." ”
Da Li replied lightly and continued to select grain seeds.
Immediately afterwards, He said: "Mother, I made a spring shirt for you and your father, you take it to try, if it doesn't fit, I'll take it back and change it." This wine was given to my father. ”
Hearing this, Da Li lifted his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, reached out to take the burden and the small bamboo tube, stuffed the dustpan to He Shi, pointed to the basket on the side, and said, "You two eyes are good, help me choose the grain seeds of this basket." ”
He Shi held the dustpan, nodded stiffly with a smile, glanced at Li, and saw Li smiling at her proudly, she knew that Li was calculating her, although she was unhappy in her heart, but thinking of the clothes prepared by Gu Jinxiu, her mood suddenly improved.
Liu's is different, to help Li's work, it's better to go home and work!
So, she sat down on a stool next to her and didn't move.
Li couldn't see that Liu was idle, and said sarcastically: "The way of the world has really changed, the mother-in-law is working, and the daughter-in-law is watching from the sidelines, it's really not ancient!" ”
Seeing Li's proud look, Liu stroked his stomach and said, "I just saw my grandmother working, and my aunt was watching." ”
was ridiculed by Liu, Li became a little embarrassed, and said loudly: "The elder speaks, what do you junior interject." ”
Liu smiled and said, "Auntie, what do you think the elder will come to suppress me, I'm just talking about things." ”
Li Shi was dumbfounded, looked at He Shi and said, "Brother and sister, you don't care about her, be careful that one day she kicks her nose in the face." ”
He didn't raise his head, continued to select this grain seed, and said lightly: "I heard that the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law have returned to their parents' house." ”
One sentence made Li choked.
Oh no!
At the beginning of last year, the matchmaker came to say goodbye, and she saw that her eldest daughter-in-law's family had opened a restaurant in the county seat, and her brother was on an errand in the yamen, a very decent family, so she should go down to this family business.
Who would have thought that this daughter-in-law was pampered, not only did not do anything at home, but also tossed things around for her all day long, and went back to her parents' house when it didn't go well.
Thinking about it, Li's mood became more depressed, and before he could say anything, he heard the sound of the door opening.
She turned her head to look, and Da Li walked out in new clothes, the style of this clothes, she couldn't wear them even if she planned it.
In an instant, Li's face turned pitch black.
Seeing Li's ugly look, He smiled at Li and said, "Sister-in-law, you see how beautiful your mother looks in this outfit, her face is radiant, and she is more than twenty years younger. ”
Li pouted, looking at the big Li family, his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, although people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, but this will not be a pair of sisters, she opened her mouth to talk to He, but was interrupted by Liu.
Liu said: "Grandmother, you are so beautiful today, just like the old ladies of those rich and noble families in the county." ”
Da Li heard the words of praise, he was very happy, looked at the clothes on his body, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and when he saw Li's unsafe look, Da Li snorted, it seems that he is too good for this niece on weekdays, which makes her mind bigger.
Now that she is still alive, she can't allow the Li family to ride on her head and spread wild.
Da Li said with a smile: "The spring shirt sent by the second daughter-in-law is good, and I will wear it tomorrow to meet my future in-laws to save face." ”
One sentence dispelled Li's desire to take this spring shirt for herself, and also cut off her right to be the master of Gu Dahu's personal affairs.
The Li family did not dare to be dissatisfied with the big Li family, but dared to target the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Mother, when it comes to family affairs, shouldn't my niece's family affairs also look at each other."
Seeing that Da Li was a little moved, He said: "My husband Jun just passed away. ”
One sentence made Da Li rest his mind.
And how could the Li family let it go easily, "This family matter can be talked about first, if you wait until next year, your niece will be eighteen years old, and an old girl will not be able to get married." ”
He said: "My daughter's relatives don't bother my sister-in-law to worry about it, she is now learning embroidery at my relative's house, and after the filial piety period, my relatives will help her say a husband who works as an errand in the county government." ”
Li thought of her niece, who was now thinking of her youngest son.
But she didn't look down on this lazy and greedy niece.
She wanted to refuse, for fear of offending her sister-in-law,
I don't know what to do?
But now she had an idea.
"That's pretty good," Li said with a smile: "Brother and sister, you see that our two concubines get along well on weekdays, and now my sister-in-law has a little favor and wants to ask you for help, you see ......."
He knew what the hell Li was thinking, and said, "My relative is accepting apprentices, but he has to teach one or two silver a month for tuition. ”
"A tael of silver?"
Li's original desire for his niece to learn embroidery faded.
One or two pieces of silver has been the family's chew for nearly three months, and her sister-in-law is definitely unwilling to pay, and she will not be asked to pay it when the time comes.
If she doesn't come out, she will offend her sister-in-law;
If she came out, Gu Qingyun would definitely drive her back to her parents' house.
It's not a human thing to do inside and out, she won't do it.
These thoughts of the Li family flashed by, and when she saw that the big Li family was looking at her, she said with a smile: "Mother, I didn't see that my niece had nothing to do, and I planned to find a job for her, since this requires money, then forget it." ”
Da Li nodded, turned around and went back to the room to change clothes.
After changing clothes, Da Li walked out and saw that Li was still standing there, "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't hurry up and cook, you want to starve us two old people!" ”
Seeing that the big Li family had become stronger, the Li family was not very comfortable for a while, but he didn't dare to refute, but said: "Niece and daughter-in-law, you finally come here, come with me to the kitchen to cook a meal for your grandparents." "Hmph, if you want to be idle, no way!
Seeing that Liu was sitting and didn't move, Da Li said unhappily: "Didn't you hear what your eldest aunt said?" ”
"Grandmother, I'm pregnant with your eldest great-grandson." Liu was reluctant to go, and looked at He and wanted her to help and say good things.
Li looked at He's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and calculation flashed in his eyes.
is also the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.
When the family was not separated, Gu Qingzhi protected the He family, and the He family did not do any heavy work.
After the separation, Gu Qingzhi didn't let the He family do any heavy work.
Now Gu Qingzhi is gone.
He's life is good, with the family property left by Gu Qingzhi and a good son to support the family, she still doesn't have to do any heavy work.
Now even the Liu family is like this.
The fleeting thought made Li jealous in his heart.
Before He could speak, Li said: "What's wrong with being pregnant with a child, I still worked in the field when I was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Gu family, how can it be like you only eat all day long, live like a pig, I don't know if this child can be born!" ”
He looked at Li unhappily and wanted to scold her, but was robbed by Da Li.
Da Li doesn't like Liu's talking about children, she used to work when she was pregnant with Gu Qingyun, but now Liu's pregnancy doesn't want to cook for her, how can this work!
"The eldest great-grandson, you only know when you are born, if you are born as a girl, wouldn't you be happy in vain, hurry up and work."
He was immersed in Da Li's words, and didn't notice Liu's eyes praying for help, so he had no choice but to follow Li to the kitchen.
