In Li's story, Song Qingyuan knew the whole story.

It turned out that when Song Huiying got married, the old lady also made a dowry for her daughter, and went to the village to borrow money in the name of the old man.

The matter was revealed, and the three sons of the family knew about it, Song Chengli naturally didn't say anything, but Song Chengzhong and Song Chengyi made a fuss.

In the end, Old Man Song came forward to suppress his two sons.

Zhou was also taught a hard lesson by Old Man Song because of this.

"Doesn't my grandmother have a dowry?" Song Qingyuan was curious, the old lady loved her daughter so much, and she was not willing to give her dowry?

"Given, not all of it, half of it." Li snorted coldly, "Your milk is a thief, who knows what she thinks......"

It turned out that the old lady's dowry was more than she knew!

Song Qingyuan secretly guessed that the old lady's purpose was nothing more than one.

It is the old lady who takes the dowry as her ear, pinching her son and daughter-in-law, and hanging these people, whoever is obedient and filial will give the dowry to whoever in the future.

"Yo, your uncle, your brother Lang, they're back......" Li looked out the window with a playful expression.

Inside the courtyard of the Song family.

San Lang greeted Sun and went back to the room.

Da Lang and Song Qinglian stood together, Song Chengzhong passed by Sun's side, didn't look at it, turned his head, and walked away, obviously not forgiving Sun's behavior.

Song Chengzhong was angry not only because the Sun family leaked out the Song family's money-making methods.

What's more, the Sun family actually hid it from him, making him feel that the Sun family had two hearts for him.

Being treated as a fool by his wife and kept in the dark is what Song Chengzhong cares about the most.

Looking at Song Chengzhong's indifferent back, Song Qinglian gritted her teeth angrily, "How can my father ......be like this?"

Sun shook his head lightly, "Lian'er, don't say it, wait until I explain to your father at night, your father will understand." ”

Sun is confident that she can coax Song Chengzhong well, and she knows Song Chengzhong too well for many years.

"Dad won't really be angry with his mother...... Da Lang said standing on the side, since he can remember, his mother has not suffered in front of his father.

A few words can always make his father obey his words.

"Mother, I'll come......" Da Lang held the handle of graphite.

"Don't!" Sun pushed Dalang away, "You go back to the house to study, your mother can come by herself, and Lian'er will go back too." ”

Sun rushed a pair of children into the house.

Song Qinglian refused, "Brother, do you know my mother, I have been grinding for almost two hours, and my mother's hands are all cold." ”

As soon as Song Qinglian said this, Da Lang immediately noticed Sun's trembling hands.

With a sour look in his eyes, "I'll go and talk to my grandmother about ......" Da Lang put down his words and ran to the upper room.

After a while, Zhou's scolding voice rang out. Da Lang walked out with a disgraced face.

"Milk, milk don't agree......" Da Lang lowered his head unnaturally.

Until night fell, Zhou finally allowed Sun to go back to the house to rest and continue tomorrow.

............

Two nights passed in a blink of an eye, and on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Zhou decided to kill the only pig left in the family.

The Song family has earned a lot of money this year, and it has become a natural thing to reward everyone for their hard work this year and have a happy year of killing pigs.

In this regard, the attitude of everyone in the Song family was naturally joyful, and the children of the Song family were even more smiling, eager to jump into the room to express their joy.

This time, the Song family is looking for the Zhang butcher in the town, who has good craftsmanship and is well-known.

When a whole pig is killed, the meat is frozen.

Some of them are kept for the New Year, and some of them are kept for the ceremony.

The pig's blood was sent to Lao Cui's house as usual, along with the pork bone stick and ten catties of pork.

There are also two families in the village who are close to the Song family, and they also sent pig blood.

Because Song Lizheng's pigs were also scheduled to be killed on the same day, this time they were not sent to Song Lizheng's family.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, wash the pigs in water...... Zhou commanded while standing in the courtyard.

Sun's face froze, "Hey, mother, I'll go." ”

In winter, it is very inconvenient to clean the water under the pigs, and the water in the creek freezes, so you can only get water from the well.

Sun carried a bucket in one hand, a pig in the other, and a wheat stalk under his arm and went out of the yard.

Sun understands that if she wants to wash in the yard, Zhou will never agree, she might as well get to know each other herself.

Song Qinglian saw Sun go out, and started to follow.

Ye grabbed Song Qinglian and whispered, "The kitchen is boiling hot water......

Song Qinglian didn't know why, and looked at Ye inquiringly.

Yip explained, "In winter, the water is cold, and the hands are cold. ”

Song Qinglian understood in seconds, and took advantage of Zhou's lack of ideas, took a basin of hot water and chased him out.

............

The next day, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year.

The custom on this day is to offer the stove to the king.

The family first went to the kitchen, set up the table, offered incense to the king of the stove, and offered sugar melons made of sugar and noodles.

The purpose of offering sugar melons to the king of the stove is to make his old man sweet and sweet, and to speak well to the gods.

Then take the paper horses and the materials for feeding the animals to the yard and burn them, and send them to the stove to be completed.

"Third daughter-in-law, go buy candy!" Zhou counted out a handful of copper plates, handed them to Ye, swept his gaze over Sun next to the graphite, and shouted, "Eldest daughter-in-law, grind today's noodles quickly." ”

"Grinding, like a pig......" Zhou scolded.

"Mother, I'll grind ......" Sun responded respectfully, while speeding up the speed of graphite pushing.

His face was pale and a little pale, and he didn't see any complaints.

When Zhou saw Sun like this, he only felt that he had punched the cotton, and he was powerless.

I was bored with scolding, so I closed my mouth and did something else.

Song Qingmo watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle Niang has such a good temper...... Grandma scolded her like this, and she could still greet her with a smile. ”

"If it were me, I would definitely be angry, you look at the way the eldest aunt walks, her feet must be worn out." Song Qingmo pursed her lips, "It's been grinding for four days......"

"When did you say he was a head?" Song Qingmo asked Song Qingyuan.

"I don't know!" Song Qingyuan shook his head, when the Zhou clan will lose his anger depends entirely on the performance of the Sun clan.

"It shouldn't be a few days......" Song Qingyuan guessed.

Sun is shrewd, and knows the old lady, and knows exactly what the old lady likes and what she taboos.

Seeing Sun's meek and respectful face without complaints, no matter how angry Zhou is, it will be worn away little by little.

"Sister Lian'er, I haven't come out for the past two days......" Song Qingmo showed a puzzled expression.

"Brother Da Lang is also gone, and the two of them are not asking for help...... What unfilial piety! Song Qingmo pouted, "The eldest aunt hurt them in vain." ”

Song Qingyuan rubbed Song Qingmo's little head, "You still report the grievances for the eldest uncle......

"It should be the eldest aunt who explained, you think! Milk let the aunt grind the noodles, just to punish the aunt, if they go over to help, can the milk be willing? ”

"The milk will definitely think that they are against the milk, so don't think about grinding the face of the aunt." Song Qingyuan had to say that the Sun family really understood the old lady.

"So that's ......," Song Qingmo suddenly realized.

In the middle of the night, Song Qingyuan got up at night to go to the toilet, and as soon as he came back, he heard the sound of footsteps in the yard.

"Who's there?"
