However, when she looked at the Chai He Gate made by the branch boy of the Mei family who was used as a gate, her heart sank, and the courtyard was also dilapidated, and the grass pigsty was stinking, although there was no grass pig, I don't know how long it had not been cleaned. Especially when there is such a good Jiang family next door, it is even more obvious that the Mei family is broken.

Now that she has come, she can only admit the blood luck. Looking at the palm of her hand, she smiled and showed a mouth full of black and yellow teeth, chirping and talking endlessly, Qiaoxian's disgusting overnight meal was all about to be spit out, but she still pretended to be a gentle and shy smile.

In the end, it was Mei Laosu who spoke, "They must be very tired all the way back, tell them to rest, and have a reunion dinner with the family later!" ”

"Eh, good life!" Mao's joyful preaching, pushing Qiaoxian and the copper drum, "Go and rest, I'll boil hot water for you to wash!" ”

Qiaoxian and Tonggu went to Meiqu's pavilion to rest, and Meiqu stayed for Mao and Mei Laosu to question.

The most beloved son is back, and he also brought back a beautiful daughter-in-law, Mao's happiness is happy, but it has not yet reached the realm of forgetfulness, when the new daughter-in-law takes the little brother away, Mei Laosu and Mao asked about Meiqu.

"Where is her house? Are all my father and mother there? Why haven't I heard you mention this? She...... Are you married to her? Mao asked.

Mei Qu was a little impatient and annoyed, he got up before dawn and drove to his home, tired can't, waved his hand and said: "There is no one in her family, when she was a child, the family suffered, her father sold her and the copper drum, she was a maid in the house where I worked, and the copper drum was in charge. If it weren't for marrying a daughter-in-law, Meiqu would not be willing to go back to Xiaohe Town in the countryside.

Mao's complexion was a little uncomfortable, and he muttered with some disgust: "It's a girl...... "It's a young lady who was raised from a family!" In her eyes, Mei Qu has the ability and knowledge, where is Yahuan worthy!

"Mother, can this girl ring be like a girl ring!" Mei Qu twisted the corners of her eyebrows and said, "Do you think that her girl ring is like the one that Sister Qiu sold to her at the beginning?" Let me tell you, the personal rings of the housewives of rich and noble families are much stronger than all the ladies of ordinary people! Literacy and hyphenation, the daily work is to hand tea to Mrs., accompany Mrs. to talk, a month's salary is all one or two silver, that treat people to pick up guests, all are full of ability to learn from Mrs.! Sister Qiu first made that Yahuan, which was to sell physical strength...... Yawn! Mei Qu's face was full of contempt, as if Sister Qiu was the rough maid ring at the beginning, and there were many unworthy tables, as if she was ugly.

Only then did Mao understand that Yahuan was different from Yahuan! Qiaoxian is this girl, that is the "Miss Qianjin" level of others, countless levels higher than Sister Qiu's Nizi, the most attractive thing for her is Mei Qu said, Qiaoxian has a salary of one or two silver coins a month, obediently, how much money has been saved to this day!

"And she...... Little brother, how long has the copper drum been living with us? Mao asked.

Mei Qu said: "Didn't you talk about it, there is no one in her house, and the copper drum naturally lives with us, which I promised her before." ”

Mao's is not happy, the copper drum is fourteen or fifteen years old, just when the half-sized child eats grandpa and me, the size grows so big, how much can I eat! It's just a matter of raising a daughter-in-law, where is there a li'er who even raises a brother-in-law!

"You can't." Mao Shi even objected, "Do you know what the situation of our family is, just ten acres of land, feeding a family is all a matter, plus those two, how to live!" ”

Mei Qu widened her eyes and shouted impatiently: "What are you arguing about, I promised her everything, what do you tell me to do?" Sister Qiu and her mother were here before, didn't they also eat enough, why can't they eat enough now? ”

The matter is about the face of his new daughter-in-law, Mei Qu naturally doesn't want to move an inch, and he also doesn't realize that this is a big problem, when Jia and Sister Qiu were there, didn't the family live like this.

Mao's anger can't be, and he can't be reluctant to get angry at his son, Mei Qu is not expensive firewood and rice that he doesn't know about, at that time, Mei Liang made money, how much can Sister Qiu eat a little girl? Can it be compared to a copper drum and a half-size? Besides, the copper drum is not surnamed Mei, why do you raise him?

Mei Laosuo coughed, seeing that Mao's anger was unbearable, he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Third son, what did you do in Huyang?" ”

"It's to be a bookkeeper." Mei Qu preached, although he didn't want to say much to Mei Laosu and Mao's family, but out of vanity, he still added, and preached in a matter-of-fact manner: "Take care of the accounts of a big brocade shop, and my busy feet don't stick to the ground every day, the boss can't leave me for a while, and he can't do anything without me!" ”

Mei Laosuo smiled happily and asked again: "It's been three years, have you saved a lot of money?" He didn't want Mei Qu to hand over the money, he just wanted to ask Chunliang about being a father caring for a boy.

Mei Qu had a little meaning, opened the burden on his back, took out a few pieces of broken silver from inside, and slapped them on the wooden table.

Mao hurriedly took the broken silver coin into his hand and weighed it, estimated the appearance of 6 taels, and frowned, which was much less than she expected! "That's it?" Mao didn't believe it, "My father and mother didn't ask you for money, or they wanted to know how much you earned after working hard for a few years?" ”

"This ......" Mei Qu hesitated, his face was unnatural, rubbing his hands and saying: "Father, mother, don't look at me doing a good job, I earn a lot, but the flowers are also big, Hu Sunshine rents a house for 600 copper plates in a month, and I also pay for it by myself, I have several people under my hands, don't you invite them to eat and eat well during the New Year, and give me work again in the coming year?" Seventy-seven-eighty-eight gone, there's nothing left! ”

All in all, in a word, that's a lot of money!

Mei Laosuo was a little lost, thinking about the summer of this year, those Xu people followed the Great Seal to the imperial capital, and they could earn 10 taels of silver, and thought that Lin did always give Lin Laosuo zero flowers, but Mei Qu went to Huyang for three years, and he didn't plan to give him any meaning.

Mao is also a little disappointed, she

Originally, I heard that Mei Qu was the bookkeeper of the brocade shop, and I felt that the salary was so good, how could it be better than Sister Zhiqiu's small workshop, who knew what the boy meant, but he didn't save money.

Waiting for Mei Qu to go out, Mao and Mei Laosu went to light the fire, one went to carry water, and boiled hot water for the servants who had just returned, in the small kitchen, Mao sighed, and talked to Mei Laosuo: "I will take back 6 taels of silver...... He brought a daughter-in-law back, so he couldn't do it like this, why should he hold a wine feast? ”

On the contrary, there are people who marry their daughters-in-law and do not handle wine, if it is not for the poor in the family who can't open the pot, then the daughter-in-law is not from the right way and bought from the hands of traffickers, and their Mei family wants to save face. But it is a little difficult for 6 taels of silver to hold a decent wine feast.

"That grass pig...... Didn't you sell it for more than three taels of silver? Mei Laosu said softly, "First take the money from the sale of grass pigs to add it, you go to jail, don't let the second child know." ”

At first, Mei Tang and his wife discussed with them, Da Niu should be engaged, and the silver money from selling the grass pig was used to give the big cow a daughter-in-law.

What Mao was waiting for was Mei Laosuo's sentence, and she just hit the idea of the money, because she was afraid that Mei Laosu would not be happy, and now she saw that Mei Laosu also had this thought, and she was relieved.

The two of them were just burning the fire, and Qiaoxian, who had been resting in the Meiqu room, came out, standing by the door of the rice stove house and shouting crisply, "Father, mother, I'll burn the fire!" ”

"Eh, this is where you can come, hurry out, get out!" Mao Shi looked at Qiao Xian and couldn't close his mouth happily, and hurriedly pushed her out, "This oil smoke is heavy, you go into the house and rest!" ”

Second Aunt Mei looked coldly at the door of the West Wing through the curtain of the West Wing, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil stove, "Bah! Which daughter-in-law is so delicate that she can't even enter the kitchen? She grew up eating wind and rain? He also said to Mei Tang who was crooked on the kang: "I can tell you first, if she doesn't go into the small kitchen to work, I won't do it!" Why do you call me? ”

"If you love to do it, you can't do it with me!" Mei Tang was lazy to talk a lot, looking at his father's and mother's enthusiasm for Mei Qu, it was strange that he could feel comfortable in his heart.

"You say, isn't the old man a big boss outside? How much money have you made in the past three years? Before, we were for him to study, but the flowers had a lot of physical strength, so he didn't give it to the two of us? Second Aunt Mei whispered, "Don't talk about the rest, our big cow is engaged, and he will pay this money!" ”

Mei Tang was very moved and hesitant, and finally made up her mind, "I'll go and tell my father and mother that he should pay for the money!" ”

Very quickly, Mao and Mei Laosu worked together to bring the boiling water to the door of Meiqu, because there was a new daughter-in-law in the house, Mei Laosu was inconvenient to go in, so he sent the water to the door and went back to the house.

Qiao Xian dragged Mao into the house, stuffed Mao with a burden, and smiled very affectionately, "Mother, they all said that the new daughter-in-law should be given to the uncle."

My aunt made clothes and shoes, I didn't prepare for things first, and I felt very guilty in my heart, you accept these things, and your daughter-in-law is filial to you and your father. Mao touched the burden, it seemed to be a fabric, and there were a lot of appearances, and suddenly his face became a chrysanthemum with a smile, but his mouth was preaching: "Eh, you child, all of them are a family, I am your own mother, what are you doing politely!" ”

The person who listened to her 8 trigrams smiled and followed, "That's quite filial!" ”

"I married a daughter-in-law before and after, so this is the best and most filial!" Mao continued to spit on the stars, full of happiness and happiness, raised his palm, and showed everyone the silver bracelet on his wrist, "My three sons and daughters-in-law gave it to me, I said that my old woman has one, what are you doing with this thing, it is all worn by your young lady and daughter-in-law, my third son and daughter-in-law have to give it to me, you can't wear it, eh, this is a piece of filial piety of my daughter-in-law, what else can I say, Dai Bei!" ”

This ostentatious expression was really disgusting, and many people all shook their heads with laughter and left, and they really couldn't stand Mao's pretentiousness.

Mao's is unconscious, she feels that the evil spirit that has been held in her heart for the first few years has finally come out, and their family also has a day when they raise their eyebrows, and they just want to show off a few more words. After Mei Liang's death for many years, she was very aggrieved, especially after the separation, the Jia family and Sister Qiu were better than one day at a time, but their Mei family was going downhill day by day. Now it seems that this feng shui is in turn, and the rampant intentions of the Jia family and Sister Qiu before, now it is their turn to be lucky for the Mei family!

What is the new daughter-in-law who was a maid ring before, the maids of the Fugui family are all higher than the young ladies of the rural landlord's family, if it is not for the ability of the kid, can you ask the wife of the rich and noble family to reward such a peugeot daughter-in-law! There is also the bronze drum, although it can eat a little, but it looks like it has a lot of physical strength, it is a person who can work in the field, and many strong laborers in the family can also be rowed.

The most important thing is that the new daughter-in-law is rich! Mao thought about Mei Qu's words, there is a salary of one or two silver coins a month, and the future is not her grandson's? As soon as the new daughter-in-law entered the door, she gave her a silver bracelet and fabric, how filial she is! The Jia family and the Wei family have been eating for nothing at home for a few years, and no one can give her a silver bracelet!

"That old woman is talking nonsense outside!" Aunt Chunhua can't be angry, "I also said that Meiqu's daughter-in-law is the most filial, ah, I haven't cooked a meal for her, I haven't boiled a mouthful of water for her, I haven't entered the small kitchen since I entered Mei's house, and I don't touch the pots and bowls, and I don't touch the pots and pans, and she becomes the most filial in her mouth?" ”

Aunt Chunhua is upset for Jia's in her heart, if you want to say filial piety, then count Jia's, do the work and work hard, when she was still in the Mei family before, Mao's didn't have to worry about anything, the meal was prepared on the table, the water was boiled at the feet, how did she be satisfied?

"This man's heart is biased!" Lin Laosu persuaded, "It's not worth it for you to be angry with her, she sees that the sky is blowing badly, who knows whether it is bitter or sweet behind closed doors?" Didn't Mei's second daughter-in-law say that the new daughter-in-law didn't do any work, the two daughters-in-law were all lazy, and it was inconvenient for her to suffer? ”

Lin Lao

No matter what others say, it's really good to live well, Mao's new daughter-in-law is good when she sees the sky, it's really good? She is definitely not as comfortable as Jia when she was still alive, but she is just a good face.

Sister Qiu returned to Xiaohe Town on the second day of the first lunar month, Lin Zhun went to the town to pick her up first, drove the donkey cart to the door of the house, and helped Sister Qiu get off the car.

Qiaoxian happened to talk to the little daughter-in-law in the village by the door, a few days ago, people in the village came to see her, Mao did not want her to go out of the door, and only asked her to go out to breathe until today.
