Liu smiled, "Hey, it's nothing, it's just that the children are bored, and they pound the coal and stone into briquettes." ”

"What? Coal and stone to play? Rong Niang, who had never spoken, seemed to be startled, and called out abruptly.

Aunt Wang's gaze immediately swept over, she hurriedly smiled and shut up.

The trembling appearance, if you didn't know, you would really treat her as a maid waiting next to Aunt Wang, not like a daughter-in-law at all.

How can it be said that Wang Er is also an official, in charge of health and safety in the city, and has a lot of power, Liu can't understand why Rong Niang is so ...... Well, she hadn't read a book, and she couldn't think of a suitable adjective to describe it.

That's it, I care so much about others, and I still have a lot of things to do with my own family.

Liu explained with a smile: "It's not all a trick, the coal and stone are so messed with by them, it's weird and easy to use, it's much better than burning the coal and stone directly." ”

"By the way, sister-in-law Wang, you can try it when you go back, it's really, it's very simple, mix cinders and slag together, knead them into balls and burn them again, the fire is very strong, and it is particularly resistant to burning."

"Burn-resistant?" Rong Niang was a little interested.

Liu clapped his hands and laughed: "That's right! Half the price than usual! ”

Can you save money? You can try that. Rong Niang's eyes lit up, and she looked at her mother-in-law a little flatteringly, asking for her advice.

However, Aunt Wang waved her hand and said forget it, they are too lazy to get it, and it is good to burn coal.

Rong Niang was a little lost, but she was used to it, so she smiled embarrassedly at Liu and didn't speak again.

Liu smiled back embarrassedly, seeing that people didn't believe it, and didn't bother to say it, anyway, her family was quite beautiful.

"Huh?" Aunt Wang's eyes suddenly poked out, looking at Lin Meiyi's room, the door was open, and a huge loom attracted the attention of the old man, "What is that?" ”

Liu followed her gaze and smiled? Tone of pride? "Oh? That, that's my family's loom, this girl has no other skills, it's the female worker? Well done at the top? In our hometown, that's number one? She made the wedding dress of the county commander's daughter! ”

"That's amazing, huh?" Aunt Wang was taken aback.

Liu hurriedly beckoned Lin Meiyi to come over? She's going to show off.

Lin Meiyi sighed helplessly? 's own mother, what can you do if you don't spoil it.

Stepping forward slowly, smiling modestly? "Mother is exaggerating, how can you say that it is so powerful."

Liu raised his eyebrows proudly? She doesn't think it's an exaggeration, her daughter is the most powerful!

Watching the little movements of the mother and daughter? Rong Niang, who had been expressionless, didn't know if she also thought of her own child, and the corners of her mouth curved.

With this smile, the whole person became vivid, and Lin Meiyi and Liu found out that this woman looked very thoughtful, but there was always a sadness between her eyebrows, which suppressed half of her appearance.

Aunt Wang pursed her lips secretly, coughed heavily, and her eyes were full of displeasure.

When Rong Niang heard the sound, her heart suddenly jumped, she lowered her eyes, and she lost her smile.

Both Zhang and Liu looked at her strangely, not understanding what she meant, in order to avoid embarrassment, Aunt Wang immediately changed the topic and asked Lin Meiyi with a smile:

"Girl, the loom has to pay a lot of silver to buy it, right?"

Lin Meiyi replied politely: "Fortunately, dozens of taels of silver are not expensive." ”

Aunt Wang was dumbfounded, "Dozens of taels is not expensive?" ”

Raising his eyes to look at Zhang, "Aren't the looms just wooden shelves, why are they so expensive?" I'm afraid this machine can marry a daughter-in-law for my brother and son at home! ”

Her incredulous expression was slightly exaggerated, and when Zhang saw it, he couldn't help but wonder if his granddaughter had spent too much money.

Thankfully, she was still awake.

Zhang said helplessly: "It's really cheap, there are bigger, better and more expensive looms than her in Jiangnan, those machines are different from the machines we usually use, and the cloth made is beautiful and good, and it is indeed worth the price." ”

"Tut-tut~" Aunt Wang smacked her tongue, and then looked at Lin Meiyi, her eyes were wrong, slightly condemning, as if to say, why are you so ignorant, let the family spend so much money on you.

Lin Meiyi was speechless, if it weren't for her being a guest, she would have wanted to kick people out now.

The polite smile on her face was instantly put away, and Lin Meiyi turned around and left.

Aunt Wang was surprised, and she didn't know if she really couldn't see that people were angry, so she chased and asked:

"Where's the girl? The elders are still here, and they don't say a word, do you dislike my wife and my poor sour appearance, and I don't want to see it? ”

"Also, General Lin Xiao's family has a big business, and it's nothing to spend a few dozen taels to make a loom for my sister, but those of us who have come from the countryside don't know it, so we call you a joke."

"But it's not for me to say, the coal and stone cart is also a few taels of silver, just give it to the child to play like this, it's not very good, in case you develop an arrogant temperament, it will be difficult to change in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Rong Niang is stupid, did her mother-in-law have no brains when she said this?

This is in someone else's house, your old man is sour, why do you have to say it clearly?

The atmosphere was too embarrassing, and Rong Niang hurriedly explained: "My mother didn't mean that, old lady, Mrs. Lin, don't worry, there are still some things at home, we will visit another day." ”

Liu's taste is now delicious, so she said, how can you look at other people's homes as soon as you enter the door?

The feeling is to see that their family is good, and my heart is sad!

Seeing that Rong Niang was about to leave when she picked up Aunt Wang, Liu's anger came up, picked up the basket of gifts they had just taken, and stuffed it back directly to Rong Niang.

"These eggs or something, there are them at home, the children are tired of eating them, and the old lady is very distressed with a little cinder, I'm afraid that there is nothing good to enjoy at home on weekdays, so let's take it back to eat at home, in case it is all given to us, the eldest mother has no to eat, then if Brother Wang blames it, I can't afford it."

Aunt Wang gasped and looked at Liu in shock, as if she didn't expect her to say this about herself.

Rong Niang was so ashamed that she was ashamed, hurriedly took the basket, and led her mother-in-law away half-pulled and half-dragged.

After a while, I heard Aunt Wang shouting and scolding from next door: "You fox thing, you laugh when you see other people's homes, don't you, look at the way you laugh, who are you trying to seduce?" ”

"I hate our poor family, right? If you don't like our poor family, you can go, and find a good and rich person for you, so that you can laugh every day! ”

This was followed by Rong Niang's sobbing defense, "Mother, how can you say that about me?" Where am I laughing? I just remembered our sister Qing and smiled, how can you say so ugly! ”
