The eldest daughter-in-law of the preaching, Lin Cheng also solemnly rose, "Dazhun marries a daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law of our family, but you can choose a graceful and capable one, if you marry someone who is not graceful and tossed, life will not go well, and no matter how much family business you have, it will not be bad enough." I don't look down on Yindi Nanizi, she is still Sister Qiu's sister, she doesn't look like a sister, and you can all listen to her scolding Sister Qiu across the wall in our house, she was so harsh and harsh when she was young, and she grew up? The two families are so close, we really want to hire her as a daughter-in-law, even if we want to discipline her, it's not easy to let go. ”

Aunt Chunhua has a straightforward temperament, and immediately snorted, "Who doesn't know that the second daughter-in-law of the Mei family is a superficial child, heavy body, beware of a lot of eyes, and the work of living a life will not be half a point, if it weren't for Sister Qiu and her mother to support the work, the Mei family would have been unknown to what it had become, but she still has a great virtue, and it is inconvenient to give birth to two sons, what is there to be a good frame, I don't know that her son is an old Xiucai, she is the official prince!" I just want my son to be a bachelor for life, and I won't hire her daughter! ”

"Alright, alright. is so dignified, why does his son beat a bachelor. "Lin is really crying and laughing, after such a year of marriage, all his sons should be brought to the match, and the daughter-in-law's personality is still so vulgar and straightforward, what kind of bachelor is not only good, but he also wants to hug his grandson earlier.

After Sister Qiu returned home, Jia's was already tidy, and when she came back, Jia's breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and went into the small kitchen. A large pot of hot water was already boiling in the small kitchen, Mei Yindi advanced to the small kitchen and took advantage of the light in the stove to carry two buckets of water to the west side room, and still ignored the boiling water of Jia's family, in her eyes, the uncle and mother Jia are the people with the lowest status in the entire Mei family, and they should be affected if they don't give birth to a son! Her mother gave birth to a son who was a hero, so she should serve her uncle and mother.

After Mei Yindi took away the hot water, Jia Shi carried a bucket of water and put it next to the door of the hall, and whispered to the house through the patched bamboo curtain: "Father, mother, the hot water is ready, put it outside." ”

Mao's kindness, Jia's reply, then put the remaining hot water into a wooden basin, mixed it with cold water and brought it to the east room where the mother and daughter lived, put it in front of Sister Qiu, and said softly: "Wash your feet." ”

It was dark early in the morning, and there was only a faint moonlight in the room, Sister Qiu took off her shoes and socks, raised her trouser legs and soaked them in the wooden basin, and saw that Jia Shi was still standing on the side, and hurriedly said: "Mother, soak your feet together." ”

After boiling the water used by the family, Jia's work was only completed for a day, which meant that she could go back to the house to rest and sleep, and continue to work the next day after she had enough spirits.

Jia Shi "ehed", moved the missing leg and sat down opposite Sister Qiu, and soaked her feet into the wooden basin.

The hot water soaked Jia's swollen feet due to labor, and she was difficult to relax, and the rough cocoons on the foot board rubbed the girl's soft feet, Jia's heart was sour, Sister Qiu was the daughter of Lao Xiucai, she heard that those old Xiucai daughters in the town were all urinated and wrapped in small feet and served by a ring, pity her Sister Qiu, and follow her to suffer.

"Turn your face back, my mother will talk to your grandmother, and wrap your little feet too." Jia Shi said that in the future, Sister Qiu will marry into the Rong family, if she is generally a pair of heavenly feet, she will give the Rong family a joke, but Sister Qiu is all 10 years old, delaying the best opportunity.

Wrap your little feet?! Sister Dark's eyes widened, she never expected that this kind of vice, which was almost forgotten for her, could happen to her.

"What kind of feet are you wrapping?" Sister Qiu said, "I'm not one of those young ladies from rich and noble families in Xu City who don't have to work, how can I work when my feet are wrapped?" The will not be happy. ”

Jia Shi stopped squeaking, his eyes were red, indeed, thinking about it, Mao would not agree, he had to invite someone to wrap his little feet, not to mention the salary of the lady who wrapped his little feet, and he couldn't work for at least six months after wrapping his feet.

Seeing that Jia Shi didn't speak, Sister Mid-Autumn in the dark can also experience her sad emotions, women in this era take small feet as beauty, and having a pair of small feet is more important than a beautiful face plate, but she really can't bear to have a pair of deformed feet, and real life is not allowed.

"Mother, my milk was so angry during the meal, is it because I asked her for my clothes?" Sister Qiu asked. It is expected that if you want to go, it will be such a place to provoke Mao's.

Jia Shi sighed and touched Sister Qiu's noodle plate, "Your grandmother is that kind of character, all the things in our family are in her hands, and she is used to being the master of the house...... It's also a strange mother, I'm so happy to see you go home, I forgot about it, and I should hand over my clothes to your milk as soon as I get home, which can also save a lot of face. ”

Sister Qiu thought about it, the Mei family was not separated, and all the things in the family were indeed at the disposal of the Mao family, all the money and rice grains of Lao Xiucai's father were handed over to the Mao family, and the Jia family even had no private house of a penny, and there were relatives who gave pastries and gifts during the New Year's holidays, and they were also collected by the Mao family. Even the meals are all distributed by the Mao family, and whoever she distributes can only eat as much as she wants.

Mao Shizhi was so angry because he didn't have eyes and didn't hand over the new green coarse cloth clothes he brought back from the Wang family to her? Not to ...... Sister Qiu couldn't believe it, this was her granddaughter's only set of clothes, and she could make Ji Meng go, which was too ...... I did a little bit of it!

But think about it carefully, with the current family background of the Mei family, they owe foreign debts, but they are the biggest source of income, and they also provide for a son who is studying in the town, and a set of clothes is also valuable in the eyes of the Mao family. The set of clean and new clothes that I got back from myself can be used as new clothes for the big cow to wear, and the second cow can also continue to wear it when the big cow wears out.

Sister Qiu frowned, she didn't feel heartache about the set of green coarse cloth clothes, she thought about other levels, the water for scalding her feet was already cold, Sister Qiu groped for the silk handkerchief on the side of the kang and dried her feet, sat on the kang, took off her clothes and got into the nest.

Jia Shi poured the foot-washing water to the grass pigsty, and when he came to the house, he listened to the sound of the dirty water splashed on the door in the west side room, and shook his head helplessly.

When she went to bed at night, Sister Qiu asked in Jia's ear: "Mother, let's go backwards...... I mean, if we make money backwards, will it all be given to my milk? ”

Jia Shi laughed and patted Sister Qiu's shoulder, "What kind of money can we earn?" "She can only shave in the dirt, and when her hands are rough, she can only accept the soles of her shoes, and she can't even take on the embroidery work carefully, what money can she make? What is this kid thinking?

Sister Qiu smiled, but she didn't give up, hugged Jia's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, I've told you everything!" What if we could make a little money? ”

Jia Shi sighed, his eyes were melancholy, he looked at the dark roof of the house, and said: "Then you will pay as much as you want, and there is no separation of families, no matter who earns money, it is all from this family." "Don't even think about things like saving private money, if Sister Qiu and her grandmother find out, won't she peel the skin for you?!

"That's it......" Sister Qiu was also simmered, very lost, she was still thinking about relying on the technology of her previous life to make some small ideas, not to mention getting rich, at least she can pay off the money owed to Lao Xiucai's father to do things, and she and her poor mother can also have no worries about food and clothing, and now it is expected that she owes it to consideration.

If all the money she earns has to be handed over to Mao, then what is the difference between her hard work and now? The second family of the Mei family is still lazy to eat, and they don't do anything, they ask them to provide food, and Uncle Mei, who has never met and is studying in the town, also relies on them to supply.

Even if the Mao family treats them badly, and has no complaints about supporting the Mao family and Mei Laosuo, Sister Qiu has no complaints, in the end, they gave birth to Lao Xiucai's father, without them, there is no existence of Sister Mei Qiu. Just asked them to work hard for orphans and widows to provide for the second family of the Mei family and the uncle of the Mei family, and Sister Qiu was 120,000 points unhappy.

The second child of the Mei family is strong and has both children and daughters, why do they want their orphans and widows to earn money to support them? When Lao Xiucai's father was there, their family relied on Lao Xiucai's father to eat and drink, but now that Lao Xiucai's father is gone, they are still lazy and lazy, and they don't continue to raise their children.

But Mao's ironclad don't think so, the Mei family's second family is so arrogant, relying on the two male grandchildren of Da Niu and Erniu, if they can make money in the future, for those two male grandchildren and Mei Laoyu, who are still studying, the Mao family will not stop looting and exploiting them.

She still plans for the future, otherwise in this feudal society where filial piety is the sky, any of her hard work will be in vain, and she will be used as a money-making machine for the male laborers of the Mei family.

"Mother, can we split up the family? Let's pay off the debts for our father's affairs, and don't want them to take on the debts, will they be happy? Sister Qiu asked tentatively, and her heart jumped up in a panic.

Jia's palm that patted Sister Qiu's back in surprise stopped in mid-air, and it took a long time before he smiled bitterly, "Sister Qiu, you are a girl's family, if you are separated, you will not be a family, and you will marry someone in the future and be wronged, and you don't even have a mother brother to support you, how can you do it!" ”

The mother brother who is still supporting? Thinking about the morning following behind the donkey and ridiculing her "mother big worm" is the loudest big cow and two cows, Sister Qiu almost laughed out loud, 3 years old to see the old, looking forward to the big cow and two cows to support her, she might as well raise a dog.

"Mother, will the big cow and the second cow support me? Today, at noon, the big cow will be sold, and I will change it for him to ......eat fine noodles," Sister Qiu said softly, and in the silent night, the slightly tender voice revealed an indescribable sense of pity.

Jia's words were blocked, his nose was sore, and he said thoughtfully: "The big cow is still small, and I don't understand things...... When you grow up, you will know, those daughters-in-law who have no mother's brother to help them, they don't dare to say anything when they are wronged in their husband's family. She also didn't want her daughter to be wronged in this family, but how difficult it would be for a woman who didn't even have any brothers in her mother's family to live in the future.

Sister Mid-Autumn in the dark sounded clearly in Jia's ears, "Mother, you also have a brother in your mother's family, why didn't you see your uncle come to help you say a word when you were commissioned at home?" ”

Jia is a cowardly and kind-hearted unlucky man, married to an old Xiu is a phoenix man, can't give birth to a son has no status in the husband's family, suffered from the grievances and suffered only from his own belly before, Sister Qiu remembered that there was a year in December, the year was not very good, the children of the Mei family did not make new clothes, Mei Second Uncle and the second aunt blocked the old Xiucai's father by the door, first complimented the old Xiucai's father how promising, and then complained that the big cow and the second cow did not wear a jacket for the New Year, and the old Xiucai's father complimented him. Immediately patted his chest to indicate that the children's new New Year's clothes were wrapped by the uncle!

Lao Xiucai's father earned back a lot of money to Mao, boasted of the promise and then entered the east house, asked Jia for money, said that the big cow and two cows were promised New Year's clothes, Jia looked at the body wearing the patch clothes that changed from her own small, the heart was sour and suffered, the first time I couldn't bear it, I didn't want to obey my husband anymore, hugged Sister Qiu and gritted her teeth and said: "Where do I have money, not all the money you take home is given to your mother, they want to make a new jacket for Da Niu and Erniu, go to find your mother and ask for money!" ”

She has a good temperament and can bear it, but that doesn't mean she's a fool. Mao's money was tight, and the second daughter-in-law couldn't get money from Mao's at all, so she hit Sister Qiu and her father with the idea.

"You disobedient and unvirtuous slut!" If he couldn't get the money, Lao Xiucai was angry, pointed at Jia's and scolded, and then rummaged through the boxes and cupboards in the east room for a long time, and he remembered that there was a silver hairpin in the dowry brought by Jia's family, which was worth one or two silver coins, but he didn't find it, and kicked the door and left in anger. Jia Shijue didn't ask for money, even if this thing was over, who knew that when he stayed until the evening, Mei Laoxiu took back a burden, went to the west side room by night, called the second Mei Tang, and handed the burden to Mei Tang.

In a few days, the children of the second family all made new jackets, and when the New Year came, among the children of the Mei family, only Sister Qiu was covered with patches for the New Year, and Jia's heart was already numb to ashes.

After the New Year, Uncle Shun of the grocery store at the entrance of the village came to the house to look for Mei Lao Xiucai, and talked about the conversation, Mei Lao Xiucai sent people away, turned his face and asked Jia for money, saying that he owed money to others, and people came to ask for debts.

"You borrowed money? What are you borrowing money for? Jia Shi guessed why, she just had a glimmer of expectation, and she didn't want to make her husband so unbearable.
