When it is almost the wax moon, the weather is very cold, and there is a stove in the outer room of the west wing and a brazier in the inner room, and the temperature in the house is always maintained.

Da Tie They have been more than four months, and they know how to recognize people, and when they say your father, they will look up at the bean dregs. Teasing them, giggling with laughter.

Dou Chen came to the West House every day to take care of Fu Xishi, and Grandma Bao also came every day, and when she entered the house, she sat on the fire to go to the cold, and then took off her coat and wore a jacket before going to the back room.

The Dou family is busy buying and selling bean dregs, the Doubao family is the main force, Li Siwa does chores, no matter how cold the weather is, every market does not fall, and he hopes to sell more silver.

Fu Wen's came to Dou's house every two days, sent some food, came to see his grandson, if a few beans came, Doubao's asked them to change their clothes and wear her new jacket to see Datie them, no one refuted, so they had to look at their brother-in-law's face.

It's funny when Fu used to be, is this a status that is played?

She is currently doing nothing in buying and selling, at least until the spring has passed, when they will be able to go out of the house for seven or eight months, and then she can go to the front to sell tofu, and now she hardly goes to the front, and the money from the sale of bean dregs will be handed over to her every day, because there is to keep accounts, income and expenses.

Because of bookkeeping, all the expenses are clear at a glance, and the bean dregs also know the economic transactions, and the oil, salt, sauce, rice and vinegar, and now he will not spend money indiscriminately, all of which he has earned back, and it is distressing to waste a copper plate.

The bed in the Westinghouse is big, and the adults and children are all on the bed, looking at the children and talking warmly.

Fu used to sit on the edge of the bed and eat the pastries brought by his mother, listening to her talking to Grandma Bao.

"This year's weather is colder than usual, dry and cold, last year it will have snowed early, if it goes on like this, next year's harvest will not be good, tomorrow I will go to the temple to offer incense, ask the Bodhisattva to bless the croppers to have a way to live." Grandma Bao said.

Dou Chen said: "I can't go out, I'll give you sesame oil money, you can help me add it." ”

Fu Wen said: "Tomorrow I will go with my godmother, and I will also beg the Bodhisattva, the world has been peaceful and smooth all these years, but don't make any more trouble." “

Dou Bao nodded and said: "Yes, think about it more than ten years ago, there were people fleeing everywhere, the crops planted were not enough for scoundrels to rob, how many people sold their sons and daughters, don't come again, no matter how you can get by, it is the people who suffer." ”

After speaking, he said in a low voice: "You don't go out, I guess you didn't hear the discussion outside, some people say that He Changsheng from the second room of the He family went to Heishuigou and touched the moldy head, someone saw Juanzi and her father spitting, and no one paid attention to her when the Yang family went out." ”

Fu Wen said: "That's also a poor woman, she has come to me to buy things, she looks good, and it's not a good thing to be born in a poor family." ”

Fu Xi was curious, she hadn't seen the new daughter-in-law of the He family, and she heard Sister Dou say that she looked good, but she didn't know what she looked like.

"Mother, who is better looking better than her and me?"

Grandma Bao answered: "Of course we are good-looking, I don't look down on those vixen-like people, I don't have to smile before I speak, men love that, seductive, otherwise how could Juanzi's father divorce his wife and marry her?" ”

Fu Xi was surprised, could it be that he hooked up in advance?

"Knew each other before?"

Fu Wen said: "Everyone thinks that the Yang family was unclear with Changping and her father before, I heard Aunt Zhang say that this is to wronged the Yang family, and the marriage with the He family is a matchmaker." ”

"Aunt Zhang knows that Yang?"

Fu Wenshi sighed and said: "It's not Aunt Zhang who said it, I would also think that the Yang family is not a good person, the Yang family is Aunt Zhang's distant cousin, she has been good-looking since she was a child, and she was sold by her father and mother to be a maid in a big family in Fengyang Mansion." Just over fifteen, she was taken in by the old lady and gave birth to a daughter, who was about the same age as her grandfather, and never gave birth after giving birth to one. Yang's low and cautious stay at that house. After the old lady was gone, she served the old lady diligently, and after the old lady was gone, she somehow took her daughter back to her parents' house with the concubine book. ”

Fu Xi said: "Don't you all say that she is a widow? Does the He family know that she used to be a concubine? ”

Juanzi's father knew that the Yang family didn't hide it from him. Yang told Aunt Zhang that she wanted to find someone who could take in her daughter for a lifetime, the second room of the He family has no son, and she can guard her son after giving birth to a son, and the second room is better than those who are poor and have to rely on the dowry she brought to support the family, and if she doesn't marry, the silver she brought will be lost by her mother's family. Yang heard what outsiders said about her, went to Aunt Zhang's to cry, saying why not let her live a good life, when she was a child, she was sold by her mother's family, and she was forced to be a concubine. married to the daughter in front of the He family like his own child, his daughter has to eat if she doesn't eat, so she thinks that she can't let others say that the stepmother is vicious, but why do you still talk about her like this, saying that she is restless and seduces Juanzi's father so that the original partner in front of her is divorced. ”

Fu didn't go out for a few months, and those who knew about the outside world listened to the bean dregs, and Grandma Bao came to say something, this is the first time I heard about it today, and I was pitiful to the girl in the second room of the family before.

"Is the Yang family really good to Changping and his sister?"

Grandma Bao said: "I heard your eldest sister say, she didn't expect that the Yang family would be a good person, it is indeed good to Juanzi, and the stepmother has good and bad things, I hope that the Yang family is not a surface, even if it is on the surface, it is better than those vicious stepmothers, anyway, Juanzi can't stay at home for a few years, your eldest sister said, she will stare at the point, if the Yang family is not good to Juanzi, she will not spare the Yang family, so that she can't see people in Shihe Town, she herself has a daughter, see who dares to marry." ”

Fu Wen said: "It's not easy to marry, who doesn't inquire about marrying a daughter-in-law?" The He family was married for the second time, and his father and mother couldn't control him, so he would rather marry a real widow than marry someone else's concubine. The Yang family has been a concubine for ten years, and the style is not the style of the head lady, the concubine relies on flattery to serve people, and she doesn't look like the head lady when she walks. ”

Fu used to know that his mother worked in an official family, and this situation was very common. But it's strange that Aunt Zhang is not a person who speaks right and wrong, how could she say that Yang is her cousin again.

"Mother, doesn't Aunt Zhang look down on her cousin?"

"That's not it, she told me that there was a reason, Juanzi and her father wanted to tell Yuan Hai about Yang's daughter, and Yang said to Aunt Zhang, if our family is willing, she will be willing, but if you don't want to, don't let Juanzi and her father have any opinions on her, she is not familiar with the people of Shihe Town, and she also listened to Juanzi and her father. I told Aunt Zhang that Yuan Hai's family affairs would not be considered until he was fifteen, and now the Fu family has not settled down and will not consider those. ”

Fu Xishi said: "Aunt Zhang, don't be fooled by that Yang, just to help her speak." ”

Fu Wen said: "I have also seen the Yang family, I think she is not fake, your Aunt Zhang said that the Yang family came to her when she came back, and hid the silver in the Zhang family." This Yang is a smart person, and he can see that this cousin is reliable, so he did this, that is, he told Aunt Zhang that Juanzi and his father had taken a crush on Yuan Hai, and she said it first, and it saved our family from knowing that they had an opinion on her later. It's not a loss that there are many concubines in the concubine room where people can get out of the house, after the man is gone, even if he gives birth to a son, the life is not as good as a person, and the son is like a dog of the son-in-law. That's why I said that you can't be a concubine no matter how much you do. ”
