Chapter 3: A daughter-in-law becomes a daughter
The seemingly warm but unwarm light shines through the window paper into the room, reflecting the dust in the air.
The chickens, pigs, and donkeys in the courtyard sang in chorus, and the noisy people had a painful brain, and there was a slightly sharp voice from Tie Niu Niang in the middle, "Qingyou, Qingyou, have you risen, auntie, look at you." ”
Li Qingyou rubbed his eyes, and it took a moment of chaos before he came to his senses, and he wondered in his heart that he was eager to get rid of his relationship yesterday, why did he get up early and run here today?
looked back at the shivering girl who was kicked on the edge of the kang, silently withdrew her feet, got the girl back on the mattress, and then covered the girl with all the quilts piled on her body, and then put on her clothes and went down to the kang.
Take down the latch and open the door to let the Iron Cow Lady in.
"I wasn't scared last night, you said these two people are really, why can't you think about it......" Tie Niu Niang changed her coldness yesterday and put the basket on her arm on the table.
Li Qingyou pouted, not being afraid also made her scared.
"Look at this cold house and cool kang, you are a poor girl's family, you haven't had breakfast yet, my aunt knows that you are good, and I specially got up early to make it for you, so let's eat it while it's hot." Tie Niu Niang smiled like a chrysanthemum, and lifted the oilcloth to reveal the multigrain cake inside.
It is also common for neighbors to walk around each other and send some food, Tie Niu Niang makes the next meal in general, and the single miscellaneous grain cake is very good, don't look at the rough material, the appearance is also average, but the taste is good.
Got up early in the morning to send it to her?
Li Qingyou cat didn't allow Tie Niu Niang's thoughts, but she still welcomed people in with a smile on her face as before, "Auntie is here, come in and sit, I'll pour tea for my aunt to eat." ”
"If you're not busy, you're not busy, you eat it while it's hot first, and it won't taste good when it's cold later." Tie Niu Niang said in her heart that she didn't come to eat this sip of tea, but it was still important to get down to business.
"It's not bad for a while, my aunt will sit first, and I'll have it in a moment." Li Qingyou said as he brushed the pot and poured water to add firewood, and finally put a charcoal basin in the hall, and then sat down at the table.
The multigrain cake is obviously deeply processed, fried into gold with oil on both sides, and the outside is crispy and tender on the inside, which is more fragrant than the usual steaming.
Li Qingyou was eating fragrant multigrain cakes while pondering that there must be something wrong with Tie Niu Niang.
"What's so gloomy in this house, so panicked......" Tie Niu Niang rubbed her arms while coveting Li Qingyou's face.
Don't you panic, the old couple hanged themselves in the east room.
At this moment, there were two muffled coughs in the house, and Tie Niu Niang was startled, and suddenly remembered that Li Laohan used to have a cough every winter, and he thought it was tuberculosis earlier, and their Tie Niu Father also helped grab medicine from Fucheng when he didn't have an accident.
Don't be Li Laohan who can't be blind to death, and his soul is reluctant to go, right?
Iron Bull Niang shook her spirit, and subconsciously wanted to leave, but she was unwilling.
Even if she didn't think about it, this yard and these family properties would not fall into Li Qingyou's hands, so that the wolf-like clansmen of the Li family could see that these were cheap and a wild girl picked up?
Besides, even if there are fools, they don't dare to come out.
After making up her mind, Tie Niu Niang began to persuade hard: "There have been people in this house, and they are still dead, and they are two at once, yin and unlucky." ”
"You are a girl's family is already yin, and this yin qi enters the body is amazing, and it hurts Shoulu."
"Besides, there are the Li family's sons, it stands to reason that if you send your father and mother to the end, this family business should be inherited by you, but the Li family can't think so, when the time comes, there will be many people, what can you do with a little girl's family?"
Li Qingyou sighed, this is also where she is most worried, she doesn't care about the yin qi seriously hurting Shoulu, where the loess does not bury people, and some of the buildings in the previous life were built with flat graves.
She is worried about the Li family.
The normal procedure should be that the head of the Li family should come forward to find someone in the clan, and then take over Li Qingyou and even this family business.
If you're lucky, you can still have her to eat, but if you're unlucky, you can occupy the family business and sell her again.
"So what should I do?" Li Qingyou made a bitter face, and the eyes of the Iron Cow Lady lit up, and she grabbed Li Qingyou's hand affectionately and patted it.
"Auntie has a way, as the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and then the first hand suffers, why don't you take advantage of the fact that the Li family has not yet come, and quickly toss the yard and land, holding the cash in your hand, and see who else dares to rob it?" Iron Bull Niang's chest slapped, "Besides, there are aunts." When you turn back, you will live at your aunt's house, and your aunt will treat you like a daughter.
Li Qingyou was funny, she was a daughter-in-law a few days ago, she will become a daughter, she really wants to go to the Zhang family, what is the difference between being adopted by the Li family's clansmen?
Oh, there is still a difference, at least Zhang Tieniu won't sell her.
"That's not good, let's talk about the Li family's ......" Li Qingyou's words were interrupted by Tie Niu Niang before he could finish speaking.
"There's nothing bad about it." Tie Niu Niang's chest snapped, "Anyway, our Tie Niu is also on an errand at the yamen, are you still afraid of their Li family?" ”
When the time comes, Li Qingyou will marry far away, and he will get this family business in vain, so that he can tell his son a good family business.
If it weren't for the fact that Tie Niu's father broke a leg when he was on an errand three years ago, it was not enough for the family's money to be used for medical medicine, and she borrowed thirty taels of silver, and the family would not have been so miserable.
Fortunately, the county lord was sympathetic and let Tie Niu take over his father's class, otherwise the family would not be able to open the pot, otherwise it would not be Li Qingyou's turn under the conditions of the Zhang family.
"Thank you so much, auntie." Li Qingyou looked at Tie Niu Niang's bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "Then bother my aunt to find a matchmaker as soon as possible, my father and mother are not here, Qingyou can only make her own decisions, and our small families don't pay attention to those ......."
The smile on Tie Niu Niang's face froze suddenly.
"My aunt also wants to marry you as soon as possible, but you are still young, why don't you live in your aunt's house first and wait two years?" Iron Bull Niang's face sneered.
Li Qingyou smiled, "My aunt is planning for Qingyou like this, it is really a blessing that Qingyou has accumulated in her previous life, but in this way, the name is not right, or the marriage is set first, and the two of us are not far away, and it will be done if there is something to say hello." As for the courtyard and land, when Qingyou got married, they were sold and converted into silver, and when the dowry was brought over, how did the aunt feel? ”
At this time, the Iron Cow Lady completely blackened her face.
The woman's dowry is only in the hands of the woman herself, even the mother-in-law can't force it, although this is not stipulated by law, but it is customary, whoever forces the daughter-in-law's dowry will be pointed at the backbone.
Moreover, the Li family is newly mourned, and at this time, others will not say anything when they read that Li Qingyou is young, but they will definitely say that their Zhang family has no rules, so they may laugh at them......
