Originally, Niu Xuemei planned to let Ye Qiu take it to the dock to sell, after seeing Ye Qiu's craftsmanship, she decided to listen to Ye Qiu's let him get it herself, anyway, she was already ready to lose money, if she didn't make money, it was a big deal to come back to farm in the end, although the land was sold, she could raise more poultry, and Ye Qiu could also go outside to work after she raised her body, and life would always get better.

However, they had only ordered something at the blacksmith's shop, and before they could get out of the stall, a few uninvited guests came to the house.

"Mother, why are you here?" Niu Xuemei's face was not very good.

"Why, can't I come to my daughter's son-in-law's house?" Zhao Xiufen looked at their room with shining small eyes, "If I hadn't heard from others, we wouldn't have known that you had broken up, and you still planned to hide it from me for the rest of your life?" ”

Niu Xuemei saw that her mother was going to go through the kitchen cabinet, and said with a not very good-looking face: "Mother, you yourself once said, let me not go back if I have nothing to do." ”

"Isn't that that before you didn't split up, I'm afraid that your mother-in-law will say your mother? I've never seen you so dead-eyed. Zhao Xiufen glanced at her daughter and asked, "I heard that you still sold the field?" Sold for seventy taels of silver? ”

"Mother, who are you listening to?" Niu Xuemei's face became worse and worse, and she said that her mother could talk to her so kindly today, it turned out that she had a purpose, and she was looking for money from herself!

Since she was a child, Niu Xuemei knew that her father and mother preferred the second and third brothers, of course, the son was relied on, and it was understandable that the father and mother liked the two younger brothers, and it was nothing for her to do more work, what made her sad was that since she married her, her father and mother seemed to have no of her daughter.

Because they didn't split up before, she and Ye Qiu didn't have any money in their hands, and the things they brought with them every time they went back to their parents' house couldn't satisfy their parents and their two younger siblings, so their parents and younger siblings regarded them as the same as fighting the autumn wind, but in fact, they didn't take anything from their parents' family, not to mention that she and her husband had to do a lot of things for their mother's family every time they went back.

Later, the eldest brother and sister even directly said that if they took those broken things again, they would not go back, she thought that her mother would say two words of relief, but who knew that her mother also looked disgusted, saying that she was the water spilled by her married daughter, and she would not always take her husband and children back to eat white food in the future.

That time really broke Niu Xuemei's heart, she and her husband and children ate her mother's white food? There is no way to say this, not to mention that every time I go back, I only eat one meal, and there are no good dishes, shouldn't she and her husband eat one meal every year when they go to help her mother's house? There are also things to bring back to her parents' house, although they are not valuable things, but every time Ye Qiu goes to the mountains to hunt a hare or goes to the river to net two fish in order not to lose face, these are the intentions of herself and her husband!

Even her father and mother dislike herself, and since then Niu Xuemei has understood the truth of poor couples, not only the father-in-law and mother-in-law don't like it, but even the biological father and mother are the same.

Maybe only when she is as rich as her second aunt, her father and mother will treat her like her mother-in-law who treats her second aunt patiently, but those are all exchanged for money, and now Niu Xuemei has already recognized that except for her husband and two daughters, no one is worthy of being treated with sincerity.

So as soon as she heard her mother say that she had broken up and sold her land, Niu Xuemei knew that her mother was asking for money.

"Who did I hear about your family splitting up, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you sell your land, why don't you discuss it with us?" Zhao Xiufen glared at her, "What if someone else cheats you?" ”

"How could Li Zheng pit me? Mother, you are too careful, I am selling in such a hurry, two and a half acres of land, there will be no higher than Lizheng. ”

"Seventy taels, even if you have a conscience, but I'm not here to talk about this today, you pour us a bowl of sugar water first, I have something serious to tell you." Zhao Xiufen pulled her two daughters-in-law to sit down and instructed Niu Xuemei.

"Mother-in-law isn't here to borrow money, is she?" Ye Qiu coughed and walked out of the back room, looking at Niu Xuemei, who had an unnatural face, and patted the back of her hand, "Mother-in-law, it's not like you don't know that our family has always been very poor, compared to the two younger brothers, it is much inferior, I still want to find Xue Feng and Xue Ting to borrow some money!" ”

"Your family only sold the land and sold it for seventy taels, and you didn't spend a few taels on medical treatment, who do you have no money to deceive?" Zhao Xiufen pouted and said, "I've never seen your son-in-law who picks the door like this, shouldn't you help your mother-in-law's family if she suffers?" ”

"Then I, the son-in-law, was sick and dying before, and I didn't see my father-in-law, mother-in-law and younger brothers and sisters come to see me, I don't know if I think there is no one in Xuemei's mother's house!" Ye Qiu coughed again and said.

Zhao Xiufen's face was not very good-looking, and she quibbled: "Isn't this that no one has notified us all the time?" ”

"Then I didn't inform my mother-in-law about this separation, how did my mother-in-law know?"

Seeing Ye Qiu speaking so yin and yang, Zhao Xiufen was angry, and she said angrily: "Are you dissatisfied with me? How can you do this? Xuemei is my daughter who was conceived in October and worked hard to give birth to and raised, can I still hurt her? Can I still ignore her husband you? ”

"It's not that I suspect it, it's really that the practices of my father-in-law and mother-in-law and younger brothers and sisters a few years ago made me feel a little cold, but since my mother-in-law said that she felt sorry for Xuemei, she would lend us some money, you also saw the house we live in now, the wind leaked and the rain leaked, and it was winter in a few months, I was thinking about how to spend this winter, mother-in-law, you are here, presumably you who love Xuemei so much will be willing to lend us some silver to start the house, right?" Ye Qiu's words sounded high-sounding, and Niu Xuemei was about to laugh.

And Zhao Xiufen and her two daughters-in-law didn't look very good, they came to ask for money, not to borrow money.

"Up the house? I think this house is very good, and it's not that I can't live in it, wouldn't it be nice to pick up more firewood in winter? Zhao Xiufen pouted, "It's that other things can't be delayed." ”

Ye Qiu seemed to be smiling, and Niu Xuemei's heart sank completely.

"Oh? Why is that mother? ”

Zhao Xiufen cleared her throat: "I heard that Li Xiucai in the county seat is going to open a school this winter, and I am going to send your four nephews in, but this bundle is still a little short, so I want you to borrow some first." ”

Ye Qiu groaned: "Mother-in-law, I remember that Niu Yan was only five years old, so you planned to send him to study so early?" ”

"Isn't this what people say that it's better for children to read and be enlightened earlier?" Niu Xuemei's third brother and daughter-in-law grabbed her mouth.

Ye Qiu raised his face: "So it's important for the grandson of the Niu family to study, but it's not important for our family to suffer from the cold?" It's okay to study a year earlier or a year later, you also said that this is the first time Li Xiucai has run a school, who knows what his teaching level is? Send it all in at once, what if you can't teach it well? ”
