The two entered the house, and Tao went to make tea first, and the tea was the green snow sent by Pomegranate last time, and she kept it and was reluctant to drink it.

Green tea is greasy, and sweet pastries are just right.

The two chatted while tasting pastries, and Pomegranate told Tao about his life experience for more than a month, and finally talked about Zhan Hengyi's treatment of Zhang Dahe and a group of ruffians.

After hearing this, Dow nodded affirmatively: "In this way, the owner of this oil mill is a person who does great things. ”

"Aunt, you also think he did the right thing!" Pomegranate Flower was surprised.

Dow shook his head and smiled: "It's hard to judge whether it's right or wrong based on this matter alone, but it can be seen that this person is thoughtful and thoughtful, ruthless where he is ruthless, and not stingy with money when he is good, but everyone who can achieve great things is like this." ”

Liuhua said: "But that's too ruthless, dozens of lives will be killed if they are killed, even if they violate the law, they should be interrogated and then convicted!" ”

"You are still young, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you have not seen many things in this world." Tao's expression was solemn, and his tone became serious, "The world is sinister, don't say that it is these dozens of lives, no matter how many, as long as the power is enough, you will kill it." The lives of our ordinary people are like ants on the ground in the eyes of the powerful. ”

Pomegranate was silent after hearing this, the social system here is different from the previous life, and the lives of the people at the bottom may really be as lowly as grass mustard and trampled on.

Seeing that the pomegranate flower was silent, Dow thought that his words had scared her, and hurriedly found another light topic to talk about.

Pomegranate returned home from the next courtyard, Tao Yougui had already returned, probably because he heard Cao's talk about silver, and the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter screamed affectionately.

When eating lunch, Cao really killed the chicken, the chicken leg pomegranate and Tao Tianbao one by one.

One hundred taels of silver in exchange for the treatment of a chicken leg, and the pomegranate flower was very angry.

At the dinner table, Tao Yougui said the use of silver, do not buy land, and send Tao Tianbao to study in the school in the town in the autumn.

Pomegranate looked at Tao Tianbao, who was missing teeth but was still gnawing on chicken legs, and thought: Only if your precious son can read and become famous, he will only have a ghost, and he is just wasting silver. But after thinking about it again, Tao Tianbao went to study in the town, and his ears were much cleaner without this scourge at home, and his appetite suddenly improved.

The days have returned to dullness and tranquility, and it is the scorching weather of the red sun, and the pomegranate flower, like other villagers, really can't find anything else to do to entertain except to shake the fan in the shade to escape the heat.

With money at home, although Tao Yougui and Cao didn't make a noise, when they went out to gossip, their backs were straightened, and their voices were brighter than before, and their faces were full of red light, as if there was something happy at home.

Tao Yougui and the Cao family naturally said no, but within two days, there was really good news.

The eldest daughter Xuehua is pregnant with her third child, but the good news was brought by someone, and Xuehua and her man Li Fugen did not come to report the good news in person.

Xuehua married in Lijia Village next door, the first two children were daughters, in-laws and men were very unhappy, pregnant with the third child, even bothered to report the good news, entrusted someone to bring a message.

"The people of the Li family are too much, it's not that we can't give birth to snowflakes, they are all pregnant with a third child for their family, and they don't even come to report the good news, so what's the matter with asking someone to pass on a message." Cao remembered the grievances suffered by giving birth to three daughters in a row before, and was angry at the situation of the eldest daughter, Xuehua.

Tao Yougui had no expression on his face, and said unhurriedly: "This is also a matter of no way, the big girl is not angry with her own belly, and she is treated slowly by her mother-in-law, so we can't take care of it, and when she gives birth to a son in this birth, everything will be easy to say." ”

"No, I have to take a look at the big girl." Cao's entered the house in a hurry, turned out the pastries that were hidden and not eaten for Tao Tianbao, and put them into the bamboo basket with all the eggs he had saved at home, ready to go to Lijia Village.

"Mother, I'll go too, I'll go." Pomegranate followed, idle, thinking that it would be good to go to a relative.

She has only seen Xuehua once in the first month, and she is the softest of the three sisters, and she belongs to the kind that she doesn't tell others if she is wronged.

The pomegranate flowers are going, and the Cao family has no objection, anyway, Lijia Village is only six or seven miles away, go and return quickly, and it won't hinder anything.

The mother and daughter left the village and strode towards Lijia Village.

The environment of Lijia Village and Taojia Village is similar, and every household also lives by planting a few acres of land and a piece of camellia mountain.

The snowflake man is the eldest, and there is an older brother at home, and he has no family, and the whole family lives together.

When they arrived at Li's house, Xuehua was washing clothes in the yard, and the two girls were squatting on the ground playing with mud.

"Mother, little sister, why are you here?" Xuehua saw Cao Shi and Pomegranate Hua coming in from outside, and hurriedly stood up and shook off the water in her hands to meet her.

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and when I go to my mother's house to report the good news, I ask someone to send a message, I am here to ask them about Lao Li's family, and whose family else does this." Cao Shi stood in the courtyard and swept his eyes around, but he didn't see anyone coming out, so he couldn't help but get angry, "What about Li Fugen?" Is it a loss of heart, hiding and not daring to come out to see me, the mother-in-law? ”

"Today, Fugen's second aunt has a big birthday, and my parents-in-law, Fugen's eldest brother's family, and Fugen have all gone to drink birthday wine." Xuehua finished explaining, and then beckoned the two girls to come over and call someone, "Big sister and second sister, come and call grandma and aunt." ”

The eldest of the two girls is almost four years old, and the younger is only two years old.

Hearing their mother call them, the two girls put down the mud in their hands and came to Xuehua, looking at Cao and Pomegranate Timidly, but did not open their mouths to call people.

Cao heard Xuehua say that the Li family had all gone to drink birthday wine, but they left their daughter and two granddaughters at home, and the fire in their hearts could no longer be suppressed, but no one in the Li family was there at the moment, so they had to count the snowflakes: "Why did I give birth to such a girl as you, their old Li family is clearly bullying you, you don't know." You have such a soft temper, and I don't know who you follow. ”

"Mother, am I not pregnant? Fugen's second aunt's house is far away, uphill and downhill, what if you hurt the baby in your belly? His sister-in-law's first two children were all males, but my first two daughters were born to daughters, and I won't be able to have a son this time, so how can I have the face to stay in this house again. Snowflake explained in a whisper with her head down.

A woman can't give birth to a son, and she really has no confidence in her in-law's family. Cao Shi thought of this, and he couldn't bear to continue counting the snowflakes, "That's it, you are soft and soft is also taught by me, in the final analysis, the fault is still on me, the mother, if I give you two brothers in front of you, with the support of the brothers, you will have to be less angry in your in-law's family." Now there is only one boy in the family, and he is still the youngest, so he can't help with anything. ”

Just Tianbao's virtue, let him support us? Let's wait for the next life!

Pomegranate couldn't help but complain on the side, seeing that Xuehua's two daughters were playing with mud and dirty, and there was clean water in the wooden barrel on the ground, so she scooped a scoop and greeted the two little girls, "Big sister and second sister come and wash your hands, grandma brought delicious snacks, let's go eat snacks after washing our hands." ”

The two little girls probably follow the snowflakes, and they don't dare to go over when they hear the pomegranate shouting, so they only look up at the snowflakes.

Xuehua bent over and touched the head of the eldest sister and the second sister, and said softly: "Go, my aunt will call you, after washing your hands, my aunt will take you to play." ”

After listening to her mother's words and the temptation of delicious food, the eldest sister and the second sister had the courage to walk to the pomegranate flower.

There was no pot, so the pomegranate flowers asked them to stretch out their little hands and pour water on them with a scoop, and the eldest sister and the second sister took the water and rubbed it themselves.

"Mother, it's sunny outside, it's weirdly hot, let's go into the house and talk." Xuehua beckoned Cao into his house.

Cao Shi entered the house with the bamboo basket and Xuehua, and the eldest sister and the second sister washed their hands, scooped a scoop of water to wet their handkerchiefs, and wiped their faces for the two of them.

The two little girls are very good-looking, with round faces, watery eyes like black grapes, innocent and innocent eyes, and endearing.

"Alright." Pomegranate looked at the two clean and beautiful little faces and smiled with satisfaction.

Maybe it was because the pomegranate flower's smile was too warm, or maybe her movements of wiping her face were too gentle, and the two little girls almost immediately liked this little aunt.

Because in this family, except for the mother, no one has ever treated them so gently like my aunt.

"Let's go inside and have a snack." Pomegranate stretched out her hand to the eldest sister and second sister, and the smile on her face was like the first sun, warming her heart.

The eldest sister and the second sister nodded obediently, and one of them held one of the hands of the pomegranate flower.

Pomegranate took the eldest sister and the second sister into the house, opened the snacks she brought and watched them eat, and listened to Cao and Xuehua talk by the way.

"How long have you been pregnant?" Cao's eyes went straight to Xuehua's waist, Xuehua had given birth twice, and the waist naturally couldn't be the same as a girl, so he couldn't see anything.

"It's been more than three months." Xuehua replied in a whisper, not daring to look at Cao's face.

Sure enough, Cao Shi slapped the table and stood up, poked his fingers at Xuehua's head and scolded: "You are really angry with me, you are the mother of two babies, why did you not know that you were pregnant until more than three months?" If there is any accident in the middle, it will be difficult for you to conceive a baby in the future. and Li Fugen, the eighth lamb of the king, is also a bastard, he has been married for so long, and he doesn't even know whether his daughter-in-law is pregnant or not, he knew that he was like this, and the old lady should not have done this family business in the first place. ”

"Mother, I didn't know that I was pregnant recently." Xuehua quickly glanced at Cao's family, shrunk his neck and said: "I knew it more than a month ago, at that time, Lang Zhong said that the pulse of this fetus was a little strange, and he was afraid that the pregnancy would be unstable, so Fugen's father didn't let us tell you and his father, saying that he was afraid to make you happy in vain, and only now that the fetus is sitting firmly, do you dare to ask someone to pass the message." ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he was almost so angry that his eyes turned black, this stupid girl really has no heart at all, her daughter-in-law is pregnant and hides it from her in-laws, in case of miscarriage, will she tell her in-laws?

Now that she is pregnant, she is so wronged, if this baby does not give birth to a son to the Li family, the days to come will be even more difficult.

The two families have been married for several years, what is the situation of the Li family, the Cao family is clear, the two old ones are not good at stubble, Li Fugen is also a soft-eared person, everything is arranged by his father, Fugen's sister-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she loves to be lazy and slippery on weekdays, and she can rely on housework, and she will do it all to Xuehua.

Pomegranate watched the eldest sister and the second sister eat dim sum without making a sound, afraid that they would choke on the dim sum, so she poured water for them to drink.
