Chapter 23: What Medicine Is Sold in the Gourd?
"Roarβroarβ" In response to Mrs. Xue, there was a very rhythmic snoring.
Chen: "Mother, Brother Li has been very tired from studying lately, and he has fallen asleep, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow." β
This slut!
Mrs. Xue scolded fiercely in her heart, and turned her head to go to the West House, where she lived in the third room.
If you want to say that the three brothers of the Xue family, Mrs. Xue values the boss the most, pointing out that he can gain fame and glory to his ancestors, it is best to earn her a life to come back, so that she will be beautiful.
The last thing to see is the second child, the favorite is the third child, and I think about the third child if there is anything good.
She thought to herself, she has hurt the third child for so many years, and the third child will not be like the boss, completely restrained by her daughter-in-law, and no longer care about her own mother, right?
When knocking on the door, Xue Laosan didn't pretend to be asleep like Xue Laosan and avoided it, but he came out and invited people into the house, still saying good things about not wanting money with a hippie smile on his face.
Mrs. Xue was very comfortable when she heard this, thinking that she had hurt the third child for so many years, and in the end he was still reliable.
It's just that Xue Laosan has done it at most, so obedient, he doesn't want money anyway, just say it, but when it comes to the actual thing, he pretends to be stupid.
In turn, she cried poor with Mrs. Xue, not only cried poor, but also caused trouble to the east, and dragged her to the second child's house.
"The second brother is no longer here, and the family wealth he has saved over the years cannot be decided by your mother? Sooner or later, the sister-in-law will get married, rather than waiting for her to bring the second brother's family as a dowry to her husband's family, it is better for your mother to take it and provide for you for the elderly, which can be regarded as a filial piety of the second brother. β
When the things are in the hands of the old lady, he will say a few more obedient words to coax the old lady, won't the things have to be returned to him?
Xue Laosan's inner abacus crackled.
Being pinched by him like this, Mrs. Xue's heart suddenly came to life, although she had already taken the money hidden in the second room with her two daughters-in-law, but there must be a lot of good things in the second room, but no, just the courtyard with blue tiles and white walls is worth a lot of money.
Where can Mrs. Xue stay?
"That's the reason, I'm going to go over and have a fight with that mourning star."
Xue Laosan looked at the old lady and couldn't wait to go out, touched his chin and smiled, and went back to the house leisurely.
The Xue family had just eaten and was eating and chatting in the courtyard.
For the arrival of Mrs. Xue, Da Hei had already taken the first step to warn, and through its cry, Xue Wu knew that the person who came must not be good, and took the lead in closing the courtyard door.
When Mrs. Xue came, no matter how she knocked on the door, Xue Wu and the others didn't hear it.
Anyway, the courtyard gate is very strong, since she likes to shoot, let her shoot enough, and then she will naturally leave, and she will not stay outside all the time.
Of course, even if she keeps staying outside, Xue Wu has a way to treat her.
The reason why I avoid it now is just because I don't want to waste energy and saliva to talk to Mrs. Xue, it doesn't make any sense.
Mrs. Xue didn't open the door for a long time, changed her strategy, changed it to a mourning, and cried so much that it was like singing a big drama.
In the courtyard, Mother Xue listened to her conscience a little uneasy, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let your milk in." β
Xue Wan: "Mother, don't care about her, the more you take care of her, the more energetic you become, let her howl outside, and when she is tired, she will naturally rest." β
Anyway, it must not be a good thing for Mrs. Xue to come over, why should she open the door and let her come in to make her family uncomfortable.
Xue Mu looked at her calm and even a little indifferent, and couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, you must not be like this in front of outsiders, otherwise it is easy to be said that you are unfilial." β
As an educated aristocratic woman, Xue Mu naturally knows the truth of "kindness and filial piety", if the elders are not kind, how can they ask the juniors to be filial?
But if Mrs. Xue looked like an elder a little, she wouldn't say that.
It's just that in the eyes of most people, it's not wrong to be elders, but juniors can't be filial, and their family can't compete with universal concepts, so they can only tell Xue Wu to at least be scrupulous outside.
Xue Wu was a little surprised, she thought that Xue's mother would blindly persuade her to endure or something, but no, although Xue's mother was weak, she was not cowardly, and she would not impose her own concept on her children, and do things that sacrificed her children in order to please public opinion and create a good reputation.
She couldn't help but feel glad, and winked at Xue Mu slyly, "Mother, don't worry, I will still be more restrained in front of outsiders." β
In the face of absolute strength, it is true that you can't do what you want, and sometimes you need to make certain compromises.
Mrs. Xue howled and sprinkled, but it was useless, so she could only spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm at the courtyard door with hatred, pat her ass and go back.
Halfway through, I happened to meet someone sent by Qian Dazhi.

"Second aunt, Draw Nier, my grandmother asked me to come over and ask you to come over, saying that I want to discuss the second uncle's funeral."
In the evening, Xue Xin was about to cook, and Xue Xin from the big house came over.
She frowned, what kind of moth is this old woman doing? Father Xue's body has not been found, and he is not sure if he is dead, so what will happen to him?
Is this old woman eager to implement the fact that Xue's father is dead, so that Xue's mother can remarry?
"Okay, I'll go with my mother later."
Xue Xin got this but didn't leave immediately, but just waited in the courtyard.
When I came to Lao Xue's house, there were all the adults in the room, and when I saw the mother and daughter coming, my eyes lit up with a brush, as if I saw a mountain of gold and silver.
That burning gaze was weird and uncomfortable.
Xue Wu secretly raised her vigilance in her heart.
Mrs. Xue glanced at the daughter-in-law of the third room, Li, who immediately stepped forward and enthusiastically grabbed Xue's mother's arm and brought her to the table, "Come, brother and sister sit next to me." β
Xue Xin wanted to pull Xue Wu to the other side and sit down, but Xue Wu avoided her without a trace, she walked two steps quickly and sat down next to Xue Mu.
Mrs. Xue, who was sitting at the top, spoke: "Okay, everyone, let's serve the food, eat it first." β
Xue Wu and Xue Mu glanced at each other, and they were both surprised by Mrs. Xue's sudden generosity, in the past, when the mother and daughter came here, didn't they suffer from the cold eyes? Not to mention eating, I don't even have to drink saliva, only a lot of work is waiting.
And now you're inviting them to sit down for dinner?
As soon as the dish was served, the mother and daughter were shocked again, this dish was really beyond their expectations, not too bad, but too good, so good that they all wondered if the dish was poisoned.
Not only is the dish rich, but the Li family, that is, the daughter-in-law of the third room, also served everyone a bowl of chicken soup, which was also available in front of Xue Wu and Xue's mother.
The yellow and shiny chicken soup has a fragrance, and the chicken soup boiled by the farmer's free-range chicken, even if the cooking technique is lacking, but because the ingredients themselves are delicious enough, the soup is also very attractive.
Li Shi greeted, "Come on, come on, drink soup, eat vegetables, family, don't be restrained." β
She took the bowl of soup first and drank it with relish.
Xue Wu said in her heart, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in this family's gourd.
