Chapter 251: The Couple
The house was full of women, Zheng Rin was a big man, he said hello to Mu and others, and then he made up a word to find his father-in-law and brother-in-law if he had something to do, and went out after telling Guo Mianmian a few words.
"Yo, Mianmian is pregnant? Counting the days, it's more than four months and almost five months, right? Aunt Mu Xi looked at Guo Mianmian's stomach and asked with a smile.
"Well, it's been almost five months." Guo Mianmian nodded and sat down on the empty chair beside Mu's side.
Aunt Mu Xi saw that Guo Mianmian's face plate was rounder compared with the New Year, and her spirit was also very good, her eyebrows were easy, and her days in her mother-in-law's house were bright and comfortable, so she said to Mu with some admiration: "It's still blessed, married closely, and her mother-in-law doesn't restrict her, so she can come back if she wants to go back to her mother's house." ”
Mu Shi was happy to hear this, and said with disgust: "You also know this girl, there is no time to stop." I wish my in-laws would detain her, but you also know the nature of my in-laws, so I treated her as a daughter-in-law, and I couldn't wait to give the bowl to my hand when I had a meal. ”
Aunt Mu Xi was obviously disgusted by this, but she was the most sour in her words, and she had to endure the admiration and jealousy: "Okay, okay, who doesn't know who, you don't show off and provoke us people to blush." ”
Mu's purpose was reached, and there was a smile on his face and eyes: "I'm telling the truth, but I didn't show anything, you thought too much about yourself." ”
Aunt Mu Xi rolled her eyes in understanding, and simply turned around to ignore her. She was afraid that she would not be able to grasp the hands anymore, so she crossed her waist and pinched this old sister who had been good for many years.
Guo Mianmian watched the fight between two old ladies who were over half a hundred years old, and admired it very much. In this life, in addition to men and children, there is such an old friend who fights in the twilight years, which is also a great blessing in life.
Knowing that the mother, daughter, and sister-in-law had something to say, Aunt Mu Xi and the others didn't have much to stay, so they all pinched the words and went home to cook and began to block their own things.
Before leaving, a person walked up to Guo Mianmian, holding a pair of small and delicate shoes in his hand, and said a little cowardly: "Mianmian, this is the shoes I made for the child in your belly, it is a little affection for this child, if you don't dislike it, take it!" ”
Guo Mianmian took a closer look and realized that the person in front of him was the Wen family he didn't know very well. I wanted to refuse directly, but I just looked at the pleading in Wen's eyes, and I couldn't bear it: "This, this is good, how can I intend to accept your things?" ”
This woman had a hard life and was widowed at a young age. If it weren't for the heavy snowfall last year, her husband Gangzi would not have been poisoned and died in the cave, so he wouldn't have left her alone and lived miserably guarding the old man and children.
I don't know if I didn't hear the rejection in Guo Mianmian's words, Wen's hand holding the shoes did not return, but the expression on his face became more and more unfortunate:
"Mianmian, if you hadn't taken care of me everywhere last year and let me work in the workshop, our family would have starved to death. I can't repay this great kindness even if I am a cow and a horse, so I can only make a pair of shoes for the child in your belly to express my gratitude. ”
Liu, who has a good relationship with the Wen family, saw that she was about to cry the next moment, and couldn't help but say for her: "Ye'er, these shoes were specially made for the children by Sister Wen, and the children in her family are too old to wear them, so you can only throw them away if you don't accept them." ”
Guo Mianmian didn't want to accept Wen's things, but the second sister-in-law's face still had to be given, so she took advantage of the situation to take it, looked at it twice, and then casually boasted: "Sister-in-law Wen's wonderful skills, these shoes are beautiful and small, I will accept them for the child, thank you." ”
Seeing Guo Mianmian accept the shoes, Wen breathed a long sigh of relief and waved his hand again and again: "No thanks, just don't dislike it." ”
"How could I dislike such good shoes!" Guo Mianmian shook his head and said from the bottom of his heart.
When Wen left with Aunt Mu Xi and the others, the smile on Guo Mianmian's face fell, put the small shoes in his hand aside, looked at Liu and asked, "Did Wen tell his second sister-in-law?" than the placement in the workshop at this time? ”
Happy Chop Hands, I'm going to chop my hands too!
For the sake of his second brother's face, Guo Mianmian did provide some sponsorship to the widowed Wen last year, and hired her to do things in the workshop that could save money and earn more money.
If Wen had said something at that time, she would not have asked her second sister-in-law with a questioning attitude. At this time, almost a year has passed, and Wen's sudden appearance like this, how can she not question Wen's drunkard's intentions?
Liu didn't expect the sister-in-law to ask like this, and after the shock, seeing that there was no smile on her face, the time became important, and it was impossible to defend Wen with herself: "No, no, right?" These days, Sister Wen often comes to my house to look for me, and before making shoes, she asks when you were born, or you can think of it all of a sudden......"
Speaking of this, Liu Shi suddenly stopped talking without knowing what to do, and looked at Guo Mianmian with some hesitation, as if he didn't know whether to continue talking.
Guo Mianmian's brows furrowed, and she didn't ask the second sister-in-law if she was hesitating, and asked an irrelevant question: "When did the second sister-in-law become so good with the Wen family?" I remember that my sister-in-law rarely went to see her in the past, and she almost didn't come to our house. ”
When Liu Shi heard this, his face was sublime and a little angry: "When Gangzi was alive, your second brother often went to play with Gangzi, and I should also go close to Sister Wen, but I used to talk to her and always couldn't talk to her, so I didn't get too close." When we first entered the spring last year, there were a few major events in our family, and she came over to help me a lot. It's just that at that time, she was newly widowed, and she was afraid that our family would not come to the door much, so she didn't hide so much, so she often came to the house to play. ”
Guo Mianmian nodded, as if she had endured this statement: "Then did she mention our family's placement in the workshop in front of her second sister-in-law?" ”
Liu's intuition was a question, and she was hesitant to do so before, but she didn't say it, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to ask the point all of a sudden.
“…… Yes. Seeing that the sister-in-law's expression seemed to be a little more severe, Liu did not cover it, and she was afraid that the sister-in-law would misunderstand, so she hurriedly replied: "Sister Wen asked once, and I said that I don't know, it depends on your second brother's placement, so she didn't ask again." ”
Obtaining a certain answer to the mystery, Guo Mianmian must have guessed in her heart, she reached out and picked up the pair of well-made shoes again, with a somewhat playful expression on her face: "This Wen is so calculating!" "A pair of shoes, I want to get a good job in the workshop from her family.
Mu Shi heard that his daughter's tone was wrong, and asked with a calm face: "Mianmian, is there something wrong with Wen's?" ”
Guo Mianmian shook her head and comforted her mother: "There is nothing wrong with having no body, it is your daughter who is not porridge and those who are calculating behind me." ”
In the eyes of others, Wen's little illusion is not harmful, and it is not a body at all. It's just that Wen's sudden death caused a widow, and at this time she became friendly with the second sister-in-law, who was already mediocre, and even let the second sister-in-law repeatedly defend her, so she couldn't help but be careless.
"Mmmm, you're right, my mother is not a porridge kind of person. In the future, my mother will keep an eye on Wen's more, and if she really doesn't have a good intention, my mother won't be polite to her. Mu is not stupid, her daughter said it so clearly, no matter how slow she was, she knew that this "calculating person behind him" was Wen.
For those who dislike their daughters, the Mu family can be regarded as having a little porridge for the Wen family, and the heart will slowly give birth to dislike. Especially every time Wen comes to the house, he always has a sad look on his face, so he can't see where he can go if he smiles when he smiles rather than not laughing.
Although he lost his husband at a young age, it is very unfortunate to have to carry the survival of a group of friends, and it is impossible to always put this misfortune on his face when he goes to other people's homes, which inevitably makes people feel unlucky.
If it weren't for the second daughter-in-law and the Wen family, and the Wen family didn't do anything to their own family, it was for the sake of the second daughter-in-law's face, and the Mu family still didn't let people in. If this spreads, I am afraid that the whole village will scold their family for bullying other people's orphans and widows.
Looking at her mother's demeanor as if she was facing a great enemy, Guo Mianmian smiled helplessly: "Mother, you don't need to be like this, then the Wen family didn't do anything bad to our family, I just reminded the second sister-in-law to save the police, you really treat people as thieves like this." ”
After that, she looked at Liu Shi, who didn't have a good expression, and said softly: "Second sister-in-law, I didn't interfere with your intention to say so much, if you don't listen to it, just say it directly, it's impossible to say that our sister-in-law has no body." ”
Liu came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Ye'er, don't think about it, the second sister-in-law doesn't think you're nosy, it's just that when I think that Wen's friendship with me is calculating our family, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”
Some things can't help but be considered, and it is just a matter of not paying attention to them earlier, but at this time, as soon as Guo Mianmian prompted, Liu Shi spontaneously remembered the bits and pieces after making friends with Wen, and it was easy to detect from some small details that Wen did have small calculations.
It's just that these small details are too easy to be missed, especially as a fellow woman, she has great sympathy for Wen's family, and she won't question her body at all.
Guo Mianmian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sad second sister-in-law, and couldn't help laughing: "Second sister-in-law, who doesn't have a little calculation in his heart in life?" What's more, the Wen family is indeed unlucky, even if it is really calculated, the errand in the workshop is not a big deal, isn't it not that such a person who is not greedy enough is not considered a body, what should you do with her in the future, it will still be the same. ”
Liu's heart was sick to Wen's, and after listening to his sister-in-law's words, it was still impossible to rest assured for a while, but he nodded vaguely: "What you said is reasonable, just wait for me to think clearly." ”
When Guo Mianmian heard this, he no longer persuaded him, and instead mentioned to Mu and others that he would go to the city to sell shoes the day after tomorrow.
Unlike the shocking and questioning of the third aunt and others, Mu and others have extraordinary confidence in Guo Mianmian, in their opinion, this tiger head shoe will definitely be sold even if it sells for 66 Wen, even if it sells for 100 Wen.
Regaining confidence from her mother's family, Guo Mianmian felt much more comfortable in her heart, and happily accompanied her father and mother to finish dinner, and the couple returned to Zheng's house. Before leaving, she also received great mutual assistance from the whole family, and the day after tomorrow they went to the city to help her develop environmental trends.
Because the county seat is too far away, and only in the morning is the time when the flow of people is the largest, in order not to miss this golden hour, you can only set sail to the city before dawn.
This time, thirty children over the age of three and under the age of five were to be brought to the city, and there was very little to take care of. The task of taking care of the children was handed over to the third aunt and others, while Guo Mianmian and the rest of the Zheng family guarded the shoe stall and summoned the guests who came to find them.
Old man Zheng and Meng also wanted to take a look, but the carriage and ox cart couldn't do so many people, so they could only wait for the next time. If it weren't for the Guo family's carriage being empty, Zheng Rin had borrowed two more from elsewhere, so many adults and children really couldn't carry them together. Even so, the four cars were still a little crowded.
Taking care of Guo Mianmian, a pregnant woman, she sat in the only carriage, on which not only were twenty pairs of tiger head shoes used for stalls, but also seven or eight youngest children.
