Chapter Ninety-Eight: Grievances
Zhulan has the kung fu to look at the eldest girl carefully, the eldest daughter-in-law looks like a mother-in-law is also good, the original memory of the eldest daughter-in-law mother-in-law has been raised for a few years, and her temperament has also followed the mother-in-law's external softness and inner rigidity and her assertiveness, but unfortunately the mother-in-law died and was not educated for a few years, but in the memory, she was very successful at a young age and helped the original body a lot.
Zhulan likes this eldest girl very much, she has filial piety, and she is not jealous, today Zhou Shuren took the jade pendant as a token, and she carefully observed several children in the family.
The more the boss knows, the more confident he is in his heart, and Zhou Shuren is always educated, and he looks more and more like an eldest son.
The second child is the deepest and the most shrewd, even if he doesn't confess to him, the second child has a little bit of it, and he doesn't show it on his face.
The third son is young and selfish, and he doesn't like Rong Chuan, so his expression has changed.
The old son is also very calm, this kid really doesn't care so much about money.
The eldest girl is not jealous, but has been looking at Rong Chuan, this is checking for her sister!
In the bedroom, Zhou Shuren heard the sound, saw Zhulan pulling her eldest daughter in, and quickly closed her eyes, he was not going to go out to make room for the two of them, he didn't drink too much, but he was tired and flustered after talking all morning, and he lay still and didn't want to move.
Zhulan didn't notice Zhou Shuren's movements, and motioned for the eldest girl to sit.
Xuemei glanced at her resting father, "Mother, my father is resting, you can rest for a while when you are tired for a day, I will go out first." ”
Zhulan stopped, "It's okay, your father is sleeping and dying, and our mother won't disturb him when we chat." ”
Xuemei really wanted to talk to her mother for a while, but she didn't say a few words today, and she wanted to wait for the ox cart to come back and leave, but she didn't go out.
Zhulan has already gone to the kang to rummage through the money box, this time she realized the mood of the original mother to subsidize the girl, took out five taels of broken silver and put it in the purse and took out the two children's clothes and put them in front of the eldest daughter, "You take this money, the clothes were made by the mother last night, and they are bigger, if they don't fit, you go back and change them for the child." ”
Xuemei's eyes were red, "Mother, my family has already subsidized me a lot, and I can't accept this money." ”
If it weren't for subsidizing her, why bother giving the Jiang family a New Year's gift, it's not that I know that the Jiang family's conflicts are all for her, and this year is even more than in previous years, and my mother is worried about her and her children supporting her.
Zhulan felt sour, "The money is not for you, it is for my grandson and granddaughter, and the two children have lost weight when the summer comes." ”
Xuemei's nose was sour and she wanted to cry, she wanted to say that there was still a silver at the bottom of the box that couldn't lose the child, but she couldn't say it, the ten taels of silver at the bottom of the box were gone, and this year, Xianggong went to take the test again, and the family really couldn't make up the money, and the in-laws wanted to sell the land, and several sisters-in-law joined forces to make a fuss, and it was a few days, and the in-laws couldn't borrow money, and they were in a hurry, and the sister-in-law wanted to take the child to hang, and the princess said that he wouldn't take the test.
What can the in-laws do, finally compromised, she was unwilling, her husband is talented and hard-working, she doesn't want to give up halfway, in the end, she not only took out the silver money at the bottom of the box, but also gave the dowry hairpin given by her mother to make up enough money, but unfortunately she was almost admitted, if it weren't for the family trouble affecting her husband, she must have been admitted this year.
The husband did not get in, several sisters-in-law looked down on their family more and more, and the in-laws also lost hope, after the father-in-law fell off the list, the in-laws were no longer protecting their family, and the autumn harvest of previous years was harvested together, and most of the work this year was pressed on their family, the husband was not eating well, and he was thinner in an autumn, and the in-laws were more like they didn't see it, if she hadn't encouraged her to take the exam again, the husband wanted to earn back her dowry money to fight for breath, otherwise he would have died long ago.
Zhulan saw her daughter crying, her eyes were also red, this girl was a lot thinner than in July, her hands were full of calluses, and her son-in-law was even thinner and out of phase, even if the second child said that the two daughters had changed, they didn't have the eyes to see intuitively, and hugged their daughter, "I'm wronged, you don't say it, why is your idea so big?" ”
Xuemei cried a lot, she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she couldn't stand the perennial squeeze, when was she angry at her mother's house, she was really wronged in her mother-in-law's house, the two of them didn't just study and do nothing, her husband's work in the field never fell behind, she also helped, reading was the idea of her in-laws, how did it end up wrong became the two of them, thinking of her son and daughter who couldn't eat enough, crying was even more sad.
Zhulan's heart twitched, the more she integrated, the more she regarded the children of the Zhou family as her own, yesterday I heard the second child talk about the changes of the eldest daughter, and made clothes for the two grandsons overnight, the silver money was discussed with Zhou Shuren, and the heart hurt even more when she touched the thin body of the eldest daughter, "Okay, don't cry, the crying mother is distressed." ”
Originally, Xuemei was afraid that her mother's body was not good, and she was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she didn't dare to go back once in winter, but when she saw that her mother's body was good, she dared to cry and choked, "I won't cry anymore, and my mother won't be uncomfortable." ”
"The changes in the Jiang family this year tell me and your mother."
Zhulan was startled, and saw Zhou Shuren sit up, "Woke up?" ”
