Chapter 109: When I have a daughter-in-law, I forget my mother
As for the dowry, she had the foresight to prepare it, and while the whole family was asleep, she secretly took out a small money bag from under the pillow, in which were placed two pieces of broken silver and some copper plates, which she had obtained from selling vases, and had two taels of silver.
The next morning, she went out to find Chu Tianbao and asked him to go to her house to propose marriage in the next few days.
Chu Tianbao naturally agreed, and immediately went back to discuss the matter with Chu Dacang, and the two always agreed that it was best to solve this matter quickly, otherwise it would be too late to change.
And the Liu family, who learned about this, began to make a fuss, she couldn't be clearer about what the situation of Li Dabao's family was, even if Tianbao's appearance and posture were more than enough to marry the daughter of the county order, and now she is still marrying Li Xiaolian!
If they marry in Chu Xinyun's house, then they can still mix some dowry money, but now that they are married in the Li family, it is not certain whether they can get the dowry!
With Li Dabao's temperament, it is estimated that there will not even be a single hair!
Chu Dacang disagreed: "If Li Xiaolian married Chu Xinyun, it would be called a broken rule, and now it is normal for us to go to the Li family to propose marriage, and do you know that Chu Xinyun didn't secretly stuff her with silver?" With Li Dabao's gambling temperament, even if he has money, Li Xiaolian will not take it out. ”
Liu is still reluctant, she worked hard to raise Chu Tianbao so big, she expects him to provide for her in old age!
But now that the family is in a mess, and I have to marry the daughter of the poorer Li family, isn't it even worse!
Chu Dacang was in a hurry to go to Li's house to propose marriage, but was stopped by Liu, and immediately raised his hand and slapped her and shouted angrily: "You give me some peace, if you point fingers here again, then don't blame me for divorce!"
"You... Chu Dacang, you have no conscience!" Liu, who was blinded, screamed, but he didn't dare to reach out to stop him, for fear that Chu Dacang would really take her off.
Chu Dacang led Chu Tianbao to the Li family, to be honest, he thought that his house was already very dilapidated, but he didn't expect that the Li family was even more sloppy than himself.
Hearing that Chu Tianbao came back today, Li Dabao did not go out to gamble, but sat in the courtyard with a serious face and waited.
The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting and then cut to the point, and after the two sides exchanged Geng posts with each other, they discussed coming to pick up their relatives five days later.
Everyone said in unison that they didn't care about the scene or anything, as long as the child was doing well, they just erased the matter of holding a banquet, Li Xiaolian stood aside and dared not speak, and only wanted to leave here quickly.
Time flies, and soon the fifth day arrived, just as agreed that day, Li Xiaolian wore her best clothes and followed Chu Tianbao to the Chu family in an ox cart.
Li Xiaolian tried her best to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, and Yang Ruo smiled and gave the Liu family tea and vegetables, but the Liu family, who was already dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, naturally didn't give her a good face, and after snorting coldly, she stopped talking.
The atmosphere cooled down in an instant, but fortunately, Chu Dacang answered quickly, so that it would not be so ugly.
On the first day of the wedding, Li Xiaolian felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but it was not so uncomfortable to be comforted by Chu Tianbao after returning to the house, but what she didn't expect was that Liu's difficulties were still to come.
The next morning, she was awakened by Liu's knock on the door, and she thought she had overslept and got up - seeing that it was not very bright outside, she heard Liu shouting outside the door: "What time is it and still sleeping, get up quickly!"
Li Xiaolian gritted her teeth and had to put on her clothes and get up, and then she endured sleepiness and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and washed everyone's clothes, and the last sip of water was not drunk, not to mention that she was sent to mow the grass and feed the pigs!
She couldn't see where she was, this Liu just had an opinion about herself, and even if she held her stomach and screamed 'ouch, ouch'
came, alarmed Chu Tianbao, who was sleeping in the house, he got up sleepily and saw Li Xiaolian sitting on the ground with a painful look on his face, and when he was in a hurry, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"Xiaolian, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Mother, what's going on!"
Liu was also shocked by her sudden attack, and stammered: "How do I know what's wrong with her, I didn't do anything, it was she herself who called out inexplicably!"
Li Xiaolian pretended to be weak and covered her lower abdomen and said, "It's none of my mother's business, I forgot to tell her that I was pregnant......"
Chu Tianbao also patted his head and said happily: "Mother, I forgot to tell you about this, Xiaolian is pregnant!" I'm going to be a dad!"
This matter was deliberately leaked when the two were intimate yesterday, Chu Tianbao was excited when he knew about it, and he wanted to tell Liu and Chu Dacang immediately, but Li Xiaolian stopped and said that it was too late, and it would be the same tomorrow. She kept this matter to deliberately trap the Liu family!
Since yesterday, she had vaguely seen that the Liu family was hostile to her, but she didn't dare to do anything more because of Chu Dacang's presence, so she had to mock her in secret.
Early this morning, she really showed her fox tail, and Li Xiaolian directly lifted out the child in her belly as a shield, which really caught Liu off guard.
Chu Tianbao frowned when he heard this, looked at the clothes floating on the railing and the fragrance of rice porridge in the kitchen and asked, "You made all this?" Li Xiaolian whispered: "These are all things I should do..."
"What should you not do, mother, Xiaolian is pregnant now, you should take care of it more, don't let her do some heavy work or anything, what if you hurt the child......
As soon as Liu Shi heard the anger, he came out, and said sharply: "What do you mean by this, you can't do anything if you are pregnant in your arms, you can only lie down?" When I was pregnant with you, I didn't have to do everything, why is she so delicate?"
Chu Tianbao was choked for a while, he originally wanted Liu and Li Xiaolian to get along well, but now the relationship between the two has become more and more tense, and in the end, it was Chu Dacang who came over to end the matter.
Li Xiaolian had the upper hand with the help of Chu Tianbao, but the beam between the two became deeper and deeper, and after a while, the Liu family thought of a way to toss her, let her cook for a while, let her pinch her shoulders or something, and if there was a little bit of something that was not done well, she would not be polite to teach a lesson, and Li Xiaolian was miserable.
Taking advantage of Liu's inattention, she ran out directly, and first went to Chu Xinyun's house and wanted to cry to her, but before the gate entered, she was kicked out by Ah You, and she had to run home, crying to Mrs. Li about how Liu treated her harshly, and said that she wanted to be separated from Chu Tianbao, and the child in her belly didn't want it anymore.
Chu Tianbao was originally chic outside, but when he heard that there was an accident at home again, he had to rush back, and the nearby villagers had long been very curious about this family, and they said that Chu Tianbao was going to marry but they didn't even see the banquet.
Now I always hear Liu's complaints, and I am sure that this Chu Tianbao is really married.
And the object of this marriage is Li Xiaolian of Lijia Village, the villagers have said that this Liu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this new daughter-in-law has not been married for a few days before she was ridiculed like this, and no one is happy to be replaced!
Chu Tianbao didn't see Li Xiaolian after he got home, he hurriedly asked Liu: "Mother, where is Xiaolian?" Where did she go?"
Liu Shi said angrily: "I still want to ask you, she herself is inexplicably gone, what's the use of you asking me!"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Li returned with Li Xiaolian, and as soon as she entered the door, she pointed at Liu and scolded: "My Xiaolian married into your family just to be wronged, isn't it?" You have to give me an explanation today, or no one will be able to get over this face!"
This kind of thing the villagers love to see the most, and after a while, Chu Dacang was surrounded to the fullest.
Liu was taken aback by the menacing Mrs. Li, and said sharply: "You. What do you mean by this, I just told her to taste what a daughter-in-law should do, how can someone else's daughter-in-law do it, you can't do it, right? Just you are delicate?!"
Li Xiaolian cried so much at the moment, and swallowed more: "Tianbao obviously told you that I was pregnant and couldn't do too heavy work, a few days ago I went to see a doctor with some stomach pain, and the doctor said that I was not in good health and wanted to stay in bed to recuperate, but my mother still asked me to get up in the morning to cook and wash clothes.-......
Chu Tianbao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and also said a few words angrily to Liu: "Mother, I said that Xiaolian is not in good health these days, don't let her work, she is not in good health, so you can bear more, don't always trouble her!"
Mrs. Li scolded and said, "Look at what you have done, Xiaolian is like this, and you still want her to work?" Do you have humanity or not?"
When the villagers on the sidelines heard this, they also pointed out one after another, and discussed: "This Liu family is indeed a bit excessive, right?"
"That's right, this new daughter-in-law got pregnant just a few days after she entered the door, and she was not only unhappy but always let people do this and that."
"No wonder this little daughter-in-law wants to run back, no one can stand it!"
Li Xiaolian lowered her head and cried, but pricked up her ears to listen to the words of the villagers, and found that they were all on her side, and she couldn't help but feel a little more proud in her heart.
Liu is just a crazy woman, she is a good hand at scolding people on weekdays, but when she really meets an old Jianghu like Mrs. Li, she is still not an opponent, and she is dumbfounded in three or two sentences.
Liu's heart was immediately extremely angry, since this Li Xiaolian married in, there has not been a day of stability, when Chu Tianbao was not there, let her do something and shout that her stomach hurts, and when Chu Tianbao came back, she pretended to be diligent, the key is that her stupid son really eats her set!
Now he is still arguing with himself for this woman, the old folk saying is true, if you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother!
Liu Shi was angry, and without saying a word, he sat on the ground and cried: "You only know your daughter-in-law, have you ever thought about you, a hard-working old lady!" I have to work for you day and night, and you didn't say a good word to help outsiders accuse me! Chu Tianbao, do you still have a conscience!"
Chu Tianbao's face was also very ugly, and he hurriedly went to pull her: "Mother, don't be like this, there are so many people around here...."
Li Xiaolian saw that Chu Tianbao had softened, and immediately cried loudly regardless of it: "If I live like this again, I might as well go directly to the river!"
Saying that, he got up and ran outside, Chu Tianbao quickly grabbed it, and the villagers also realized that it was not good, and they were about to say a few words when they heard someone shouting outside,
"Let me go, the village chief is here!"
As soon as Liu heard that the village chief was coming, he didn't dare to splash it, and hurriedly got up from the ground.
The village chief didn't want to take care of this matter, but when he heard from the villagers that the Liu family was about to die, he had to take a hard bite to take a look, and he still ate and drank as if he couldn't see it.
It's just that she always has to sigh a few words in her heart when she eats every day, she knows that she is not so anxious to get married, and when she is at her cousin's place, she not only lives comfortably, but also has meat to eat, and then looks at the best dish every day now is a boiled egg.
It's really a heaven and an earth.
