New Year's gifts, the people of Ziyang Kingdom regard it extremely important. If there is a daughter who gets married out of everything, before the Chinese New Year, she will definitely give a New Year's gift to her mother's house.

Of course, the importance of this New Year's gift depends on the status of this daughter in her in-law's family. Li Niang and Erlang have been married for a few years, and the Liu family has never had a chance to prepare for Li Niang.

This year's situation is special, and the life of the family is a little better, and the Liu family has the heart to ease the relationship between the two families, and the New Year's gift is extremely heavy.

One navy blue numb, one dark green and one light pink cotton. Eight catties of pork belly and ten catties of good fat. One pig's knuckle, six boxes of various snacks, and three catties of brown sugar. This kind of New Year's gift, in the countryside, is already extremely heavy, and it also shows how high Liniang's status is in her mother-in-law's family.

When Liniang saw the New Year's gift prepared by her mother-in-law, her eyes were red, her voice was hiccuped, and she couldn't speak.

Liu patted Liniang on the shoulder: "Good boy, don't cry." Tomorrow's mother and Erlang will personally give you a New Year's gift, and the face will definitely be enough for you. This family, we are still in touch. ”

"Mother, if my mother is still not satisfied, forget it!" Li Niang is a person who understands, how greedy her mother is, as the daughter of Chen Fang's family, she knows better than anyone else.

Liu just nodded, and made up his mind that he couldn't let Liniang be uncomfortable in the middle.

When the sky was slightly bright, Erlang, who had discussed with Du Yi a little late last night, dug up from the bed. The two borrowed an ox cart and went to give New Year's gifts.

The distance between the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall and Liujia Village, if you take an ox cart, it is actually not too far. However, the road that had just snowed was not easy to walk, and by the time the Liu family and his wife arrived at the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, it was already past the hour.

Erlang drove the ox cart to Liniang's mother's house and knocked on the door.

"It's coming!" Remembering Mi-jin's voice inside the door, the door was opened in a short time.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here? My aunt is also here, please come in, it's very cold outside. Mi-jin rubbed her hands, stomped her feet, and her words rose with a puff of white smoke.

"Meizhen, who's out there?" Chen Fangshi was in the house, and when he heard Meizhen calling her brother-in-law, he knew who it was in his heart, and deliberately raised his voice to ask.

"Mother, it's my brother-in-law and aunt who are here to give New Year's gifts!" There was a hint of joy in Mi-jin's voice.

Today, the Liu family came to the door to give them enough face for the Chen family. Seeing that the eldest sister was so valued at her in-law's house, Meizhen's heart was as sweet as drinking honey.

"Oh, bring things in, and people won't have to deliver them." There was a sneer on the corner of Chen Fang's mouth.

Let her lose face like that in Liujia Village, thinking that when she comes to their house, they will have to entertain her? Hmph, if you want to reconcile, how can it be so easy.

When Chen Wen heard that it was the Liu family's door, he was thinking about Du Yi in his heart, and pulled Chen Fang's sleeve and said, "Mother, my brother-in-law and aunt came all the way to visit, is it too much for you to lose face like this?" But all those who pinch mud still have three points of temper. Last time my brother-in-law came to make amends, you were like that. Today, even your aunt and uncle are here, and you still have this virtue. In the future, the Liu family will not recognize our relatives, so it is not our family? I've heard that Nadoi has made a lot of money this year. Now that the Liu family is rich, for the sake of the eldest sister's face, she still recognizes our family business, so don't take Qiao. ”

"Najo? Take what Joe? Last time we went to Liujia Village, how did they treat us, have you forgotten? Slap and give a sweet date, and you will heal the scar and forget the pain. I'm going to put my words here today, and no one is allowed to invite people from the Liu family to come in. Whoever dares to come in, I'll break someone's leg. ”

Chen Fang's voice when he said this was extremely loud, and it was clear that he was saying it to Erlang and Liu.

Erlang's face was pale, and there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows. Liu's face did not change, and said to Meizhen with a smile: "Let's go back first, Meizhen will come over to see your sister when she has time." She's home alone, and she's weirdly bored, and she often talks about you. ”

The expression on Meizhen's face was extremely complicated, and there was an element of resentment against her mother. Seeing that Liu didn't have any expression, she beat a drum in her heart. I am afraid that after the Liu family loses face here, he will go back to take Liniang out of anger.

"Aunt in-law, don't. I'll go talk to my mother, and you guys will talk about it first. It's cold outside, let's drink a cup of hot water first! Meizhen decided to disobey Chen Fang's once, and this time, she believed that her eldest brother Chen Wen would definitely be on her side.

When Meizhen's words fell, she saw the sound of something breaking inside the door. Immediately after that, Chen Fang's sharp and piercing voice came again: "Okay, you cheap girl, you don't even listen to me, do you?" If you have time to linger there, why don't you hurry up and embroider for me. ”

The corners of Erlang's mouth have been pursed into a straight line, and the expression of displeasure is becoming more and more obvious. Liu's expression remained the same, and he just said to Erlang: "Move this, this down, let's go!" ”

originally planned to give the Chen family a generous gift, but under the guidance of the Liu family, he finally left a light pink cotton cloth and a navy blue linen cloth, three boxes of dim sum, and eight catties of pork belly. Other things, even if she threw them to feed the dogs, she didn't plan to cheapen Chen Fang's.

Regarding Liu's move, Meizhen stood aside and watched anxiously. She understood that although the mother-in-law did not show any displeasure on her face, this behavior clearly showed the displeasure in her heart.

It's just that she doesn't have a position to say that her mother has done more than one time at a time. The Liu family is still willing to keep these things, which is already very good. Originally, Erlang was going to move down, and she understood how heavy this New Year's gift was. If she accepts them all, her family won't have to spend a lot of money on New Year's goods this year.

Mi-jin looked down at the things at the door, and the ox cart had slowly walked away. sighed, and was about to move things back, when he saw Chen Wen walk out.

"What about my aunt and brother-in-law?" Chen Wen couldn't appease Chen Fang's family, and he didn't want to take care of her feelings anymore, so he decided to come out to win the favor of the Liu family, so that when Du Yi married him, the door was already empty.

"Gone!" With anger on her face and a cold face, Mi-jin moved the things at the door into the door, and closed the door with a bang.

Chen Wen was completely stunned, before he could stammer, the person left, so did he still have a chance?

Chen Wen, who was in a hurry, tightened his face, flicked his sleeves, and went to Liu's room angrily.

"Mother, look at the good things you do. My aunt and brother-in-law came to the door to give New Year's gifts in person, but you treated them like this, whose heart are you going to chill? My sister is still not your daughter anymore, don't you think about it for her? ”

Chen Fang's family was like a victorious rooster at the moment, and before he had time to show off, he was scolded by his son for splitting his head and covering his face, and his face sank: "The daughter who marries out, splashes the water." How is she and what does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with you to eat radish salty and worry about it? ”

Chen Wen felt that his beautiful marriage was about to be ruined by his mother, and he had always done his own thing, but this time he decided to fight his mother to the end.

"I'm salty and don't worry about eating turnips? Nacheng, when you get old, I won't care about you anymore, see what you can do? Mijin hasn't even gotten married yet, so you say something like this. You want to make my path narrower and narrower, what kind of heart is it? ”

Faced with his son's threatening words, Chen Fangshi froze. Meizhen, who was busy in the kitchen, listened to the intermittent quarrels and words constantly drifting into the kitchen.

"Oh, you thing, you unfilial son, see if I don't kill you. You think about that vixen every day, is there still a mother like me in your eyes? What's so good about that vixen, he is morally corrupt, and he has a baby before he gets married. This kind of woman really deserves to be sunk. You say, did she give you drugs that made you disobey me like this? ”

Chen Fang's got up the clothes on the bed and hit Chen Wen's body, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've taken a fancy to others, but they still don't look down on me. If you are my mother, if you are really good for me, you will find a matchmaker to help me come to the door to propose marriage a year ago. You don't want the eldest sister, I want it. ”

After Chen Wen said this, he looked at his mother with a look of resentment.

"Are you blind? That vixen still has a wild seed in his belly, can you still be a cheap daddy? Our Chen family doesn't have extra food to feed other people's babies. ”

Chen Fang's heart was really afraid that Chen Wen would ignore her in the future. She and her son's father are just such a son, and they all say that raising children to prevent old age, if they really don't care about them, after a hundred years, there will be no one to send them to the end.

"Woman's view! No wonder the saints often say that hair is long and knowledge is short. Then the Liu family has a lot of silver now, don't you know? All the money was earned back by Yiyi. If I can marry her, it will be equivalent to marrying a God of Wealth. In the future, it will not be fragrant and spicy? Don't say that raising one child is not a problem even raising a hundred. Wouldn't I think about that? Is your son really such a fool in your eyes? ”

Chen Fangshi really doesn't have a good impression of Du Yi, so Du Yi looks like a spicy person. I could still say such things in front of many people before, if I really entered the house, I wouldn't be squeezed to death every day.

What if she has money, she can't hold it, and her son's heart is on her again. So what good life can you have? It's better to be like this, at least this family, or she has the final say.

The Chen family is the master of the Chen Fang family, and Li Niang's father, in this family, it is equivalent to an invisible existence. He works outside all year round, and only comes back when he is young. After the Shangyuan Festival, I went out again.

It is precisely because of this that the Chen family's big and small things are all handled by the Chen Fang family. Even Liniang at the beginning, she sold it to the Liu family with a word.

"No, I wouldn't agree anyway. If you want to marry, find someone to propose by yourself, even if you marry into the door, I will not agree to her as the daughter-in-law of my Liu family. ”

Chen Fang's heart was iron-hearted, and no matter what Chen Wen said, he never let go.

Mi-jin, who was in the kitchen, breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her mother would agree, and when the time came to go to Liujia Village, there would be trouble again. It's not that her eldest sister is caught in the middle, and she is in a dilemma.

"Mother, let me ask one last time, do you agree? If you don't agree, you will live alone from today onwards. From now on, we will break off the mother-son relationship. ”

Chen Wen, who has been accustomed to the wind and rain since he was a child, was annoyed when he saw his mother so oily and salty. Gritting his teeth, he threatened his mother.

"Woo woo, God, what kind of sin did I create, how did I give birth to such an unfilial son. Open your eyes, big brother thunders and kills the vixen who seduced my son, woo woo woo ......"

Chen Fangshi really cried sadly this time, the baby he had held in his hands since he was a child, and now he treats her like this for the sake of other women. How can she not be heartbroken? If those concubines knew about it, they wouldn't laugh at her to death.

"It's done, there's no one here, who are you crying to? In a word, you don't say yes. If you don't agree, let me out." This is our Chen family, your surname is Fang. ”

Meizhen heard Chen Wen's words, wiped the water stains on her hands, and came over.

Seeing Chen Fang, who was sitting on the bed and crying breathlessly, he was angry and distressed.

"Brother, what are you talking about? She's our mother, do you dare her to go out? Aren't you afraid of drowning in the spittle of the villagers? ”

Chen Wen's neck shook, and he shouted with a red face: "Who dares? ”

"It's not a question of whether you dare or not, if you are so unfilial, if you are sued to the yamen, you will go to prison."

Hearing this, Chen Wen's face did not change, he looked at Chen Fangshi and said, "Mother, if you don't want to be alone, and you don't want me to go to prison, go find someone to help me propose marriage today." I'm going to rent an ox cart now, let's go to Liujia Village. Mother, even if I beg you. When I marry Yiyi, I will make her filial piety to you. ”

Chen Fangshi stared at Chen Wen for a long time, and finally sighed. wiped the tears on his face, put on heavy clothes, went into the kitchen again, and when he came out, he had an extra piece of pork belly of about two catties in his hand and went out.

Chen Wen's eyes kept staring at Chen Fang's family, and a smile bloomed on his face when he saw her carrying the meat out of the door. I went out with some excitement.

Meizhen frowned, this family didn't have her place to speak, so she could only be anxious in her heart, but she couldn't do anything.

When Liu and Erlang returned home, Liniang was already waiting aside.

"Mother, why did you come back so early, didn't my mother leave you for a meal?" No, if you give a New Year's gift to your in-laws, you have to make a hearty lunch at least at noon.

When Erlang heard this, the anger in his eyebrows became more and more vigorous. But seeing Liniang's anxious expression, she changed her tone stiffly: "It's okay, don't worry." It's just that now it's almost the New Year, and there are many things at home, so my mother and I had to come back early. ”

Liu Shi had a concerned smile on his face and nodded: "Good boy, it's wrong to make you worry about your mother." It's just that there have been a lot of things at home recently, so I can only come back before the meal, so you don't want to think too much. Then the proprietress of He Kee Wine Shop, isn't she coming in the afternoon? ”

Li Niang heard Erlang say last night, He Cao read Du Yi's letter, and said that he would come over this afternoon to have a look. If you say that, then you can say why they came back early. There's no one in this house.,It's really not good.。。

It's just that after lunch, the Liu family didn't wait for He Cao's family to come to the door, so they waited for the Chen family to come to propose marriage.
