Chapter 35: Brotherhood
Jia Xiaolan saw her mother, her brother, sister-in-law, and younger brother and sister-in-law, and she was not surprised when she became enthusiastic about them.
Because she's been like this all these years.
In the past, when she was at home, Jia Xiaolan was not taken seriously.
Most of the housework in the family is done by herself.
Because who called her this old lady, and only gave birth to her one daughter?
Jia Xiaolan is the third in the family.
In front are two older brothers, and in the back is a younger brother.
These brothers and sisters are all about the same age. However, Jia Xiaolan grew up and lived at home, which was definitely not as good as her older brothers and younger brothers.
Jia Xiaolan still remembers that when she was young, her family was very difficult and very, very poor. There are only two small rooms.
One is a thatched house, and the other is a pig's nest built by her father alone.
At that time, she was only seven or eight years old, and her father and mother let her sleep in the pig's nest and sleep with the little pig every day.
Whatever she eats, the pig eats.
The black pig slept on the straw at night, and she hugged the pig's head and slept next to it.
Jia Xiaolan's ears still have a big gap, and that was when she was bitten out by a pig that night. Fortunately, she didn't sleep particularly well that time, and after being bitten off half of her ear by a pig, she woke up in pain.
If she slept very hard, she might be like the daughters of other families in Wujialing, and she would be eaten by pigs in one night.
Although she was abused by her parents and bullied by her brothers and brothers since she was a child, Jia Xiaolan is still very grateful and filial.
She feels that over the years, the people in her family have actually had an easy time.
It's not their fault that they're so harsh on her. It's that they have too many children in the Jia family, and they really can't afford to raise them as parents.
Over the years, although she has suffered a lot, suffered a lot of sins, and shed a lot of tears. However, she can be regarded as growing up peacefully.
Moreover, they also found her a master's family to marry. Let her live a life with a husband and children.
For all this in front of her, Jia Xiaolan is particularly grateful.
She is grateful to her parents, to her older brother and brother.
She felt that if it weren't for them, she might be like Jia Jialing's other daughters, who would have lost her life early and would no longer exist in this world.
Jia Xiaolan has always had such thoughts in her heart, so after she got married, as long as she got good things from the Wu family, she would quietly take those things back to her parents' house.
When Wang Jinlian was in charge of the kitchen and cooked for the Wu family every day, Jia Xiaolan would always take advantage of her inattention to steal those things.
In the past, Wang Jinlian brought more than 10 chicken seedlings from her mother's house.
She took a few of her good sons and worked hard to raise the more than 10 chickens. She thought, these hens lay eggs every day.
After the hen lays eggs every day, this little money adds up, and she may be able to sell it in the county town. When the time comes, she will be able to quietly improve the lives of her sons.
However, Wang Jinlian soon discovered that the more than 10 hens she raised should lay 1~2 eggs every day. But every time she touched the eggs, either there were no eggs, or there were only two or three eggs that were so pitiful.
At first, she thought that the eggs in the family were eaten by her mother-in-law.
But in the end, she found out that it was Jia Xiaolan and Jia Xiaohua who stole all her eggs and ate them.
Moreover, not only did they steal her eggs, but they also stole her chickens.
Ever since Wang Jinlian knew that Jia Xiaolan had secretly taken her chickens back to her parents' house, she hated her completely.
Since that day, Wang Jinlian has often quarreled and fought with Jia Xiaolan over this matter.
As for Jia Xiaolan, she doesn't care.
Because she felt that as long as she got something, she was taking advantage.
As long as her father, mother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law eat the chicken she sent, then she will be satisfied.
Jia Xiaolan felt that her father and mother were still quite pitiful over the years.
They have to live so hard at such an age. Every day, there is no last meal, no food, no clothing, Jia Xiaolan feels that she feels sorry for them, her brother and brother, in fact, she is also care.
Even if her mother-in-law's family knew that she had a problem with stealing, they would never accuse her!
Because in the end, she is also a good girl who is filial. Now, she has spread out the branches of the old Wu family, and has given birth to five sons and two daughters.
She is a great hero of the Wu family!
She took something from there and went back to her parents' house, and what happened??
Did she do it wrong?
…… Thinking of this, Jia Xiaolan said to her mother, as well as her brothers and sisters-in-law, with a flattering face.
"Mother, these mung bean cakes and red bean cakes or something, you can eat them now. My mother-in-law has a lot of them! ”
Speaking of these, Jia Xiaolan began to gush endlessly.
"Father, brother, sister-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, don't you know, recently, my mother-in-law has been generous to me, to my man, and to my children!"
Hearing this, Ma Shi asked with interest while hiding the red bean cake and mung bean cake close to his chest.
"Why is she so generous to you?"
"Xiaolan, didn't you always tell me before that your mother-in-law never did anything at home?"
"She never cooks, never does laundry, never washes clothes, doesn't pick up dung. Those days were like those daughters in the county. Moreover, doesn't your father-in-law always hold her in the palm of his hand? Your mother-in-law is so squeamish and selfish, can she still be generous to you and be good to you? ”
Hearing his mother-in-law say this, Wu Erhu, who was standing on the side, felt a little unhappy in his heart.
But now, it is inconvenient for him to quarrel with this big family for these few words, so Wu Erhu just stood there without saying a word with a gloomy face.
And Jia Xiaolan on the side, didn't care about him at this time.
She is now busy with her mother's family.
She wanted to sell well in front of her father, her brother and sister-in-law, and her younger brother and sister-in-law, so Jia Xiaolan began to add fuel and vinegar.
"Mother~, don't underestimate my mother-in-law! Don't underestimate their Wu family! ”
"You don't know, recently, my mother-in-law has been making us big cakes every day! It's still the same kind of flatbread made of white flour and brown sugar! It's delicious! ”
"By the way, we're eating twice a day now. You can eat one or two oil cakes every time! ”
Hearing Jia Xiaolan start to show off, Jia Xiaolan's two sisters-in-law couldn't help but speak.
"Xiaolan, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"
"Do you know how much a pound of oil is now?"
"Do you know how much a pound of white noodles is now?"
"If your Wu family can afford to eat white noodles and oil cakes made of brown sugar, then why have you been living in thatched huts all these years?"
Seeing that her father, mother, and brother and sister-in-law began to doubt her, Jia Xiaolan couldn't help but speak, eager to prove herself.
