Chi Yue saw Jia's sadness, and couldn't help but speak for her: "Maybe it's because my sister-in-law was too tired to watch the children at night and didn't sleep well, so she slept more during the day?" It's really tiring to watch the child's work. ”

Chi Xuemei immediately sneered and said, "Chi Yue, don't speak for your sister-in-law." This child is watched by me and your eldest brother at night, she sleeps like a dead pig, where have you ever opened her eyes? She is just lazy, always thinking that she has to work after confinement, and she is unwilling, and wants to sleep a little longer, sleep with him for a day and a night, and ignore nothing. Hey, my Geng'er married this kind of useless daughter-in-law, and my family has been suffering from blood mold for eight lifetimes. ”

In front of Jia's family, Chi Xuemei belittled her without any scruples, making Jia's heart prick like blood, and it hurt.

Although Chi Yue didn't know the inside story, seeing that Chi Xuemei didn't give face to her daughter-in-law so much, she also felt that she was too much, but she didn't continue to speak for Jia's family. If you continue to talk about it, I don't know what kind of scaly wounds Chi Xuemei can turn Jia's injuries into.

What's more, this is someone's family matter, what is she, an outsider, fooling around?

It was Chi Yue who just leaned over, teased the little thing for a while, and asked if she had a name.

"Not yet." Jia Shi said embarrassedly, "I only cared about taking care of the children during the confinement, and I left this matter behind." ”

But the fact is that the family didn't pay attention to this child at all, let alone mention what name they wanted to give her, and it was probably not until the patriarch asked to include her in the family tree that the family was willing to make up one and fool her around.

Thinking that her daughter was destined to be so miserable as soon as she was born, Jia's face darkened again, and she said very little.

"Don't talk to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is clumsy, her brain is not bright, she doesn't understand anything, what do you ask her to do?" Chi Xuemei glanced at Jia Shi disdainfully, pulled Chi Yue to her side, handed Chi Yue melon seeds, sat on the edge of the kang and spoke.

"Yue'er, you opened a workshop in the village and outside the village, and you want to make a lot of money, right?" Chi Xuemei asked suddenly, her eyes bursting with a light full of deep meaning.

Naturally, Chi Yue would not shake off his old bottom to outsiders, so he just said vaguely, "Don't listen to others' nonsense, although I have opened two workshops, I only have the reputation of a boss, but the business is not ideal, where is it that you have made a lot of money as you said?" Don't make fun of me. ”

"I heard that your business in the county town has been calculated and is not doing very well, what are you talking about in the courtyard with Chi Yuan?" Chi Xuemei didn't intend to let go of this topic, "That kid Chi Yuan, who has not been doing business since he was a child, is flamboyant, but I don't believe him, I believe you." If it's really him who helps outsiders to plot against you and suppress your business, it's really not a thing. ”

Chi Yue sneered in her heart. In front of Chi Yuan, she didn't help herself speak, but at this time, she behaved righteously and spoke violently.

"Exactly." Chi Yue said lightly, but she didn't say much.

Chi Xuemei couldn't help but nag two more sentences, talking nothing more than how Chi Yuan was doing, how Qiao Shi was, and was angry for Chi Yue.

She was really angry with them in her heart.

Just because she went to them not long ago to borrow a few taels of silver, they didn't give her a single penny, but just cried to her and was poor. Shicai saw that they were arrogant, and Qiao's also got a lot of benefits for his son in Li's workshop, and he was proud. The difference between before and after is so clear, it is clear that she never intended to help her relative.

Such a relative, that is, because of the face of the old house, will say hello at most in the future.

Seeing that Chi Yue didn't appreciate her grievances very much, Chi Xuemei simply stopped performing passionately and moved to the main topic.

"Chi Yue, do you know that your uncle and I are no better off now?" Chi Xuemei sighed deeply, "Your uncle bought a few pig houses in our old house on the ground last year, raised a few old sows, and gave birth to some cubs, and this year there are more than a dozen pigs, and I can make a few dollars." But I never expected that not long ago, swine fever was prevalent, and the price of pork began to decline gradually, and it has been impossible to sell pork for a month or two. It was our bad luck that the evil swine fever spread to us, not only did five old sows die, but a group of little cubs also foamed at the mouth and died! ”

As she spoke, she glared at the little thing that was breastfeeding on the bed, and said hatefully: "It can be seen that this thing was born a disaster, otherwise how could she be born, and the pigs in our family would die one after another, and lose so much money?" ”

Jia Shi can endure the humiliation of others, but she is unwilling to let her children be treated like this, so she immediately held back her tears, bit her lip and said, "Mother, what are you talking about?" She is a child who has just gone to the ground, and she doesn't understand anything, how can she become a scourge for the whole family? Child, that's right, you can't blame her like this for no reason. ”

"Okay, you are a cheap hoof, you dare to talk back to your mother-in-law, you have a long ability, don't you? Chi Xuemei glared at Jia Shi angrily, with a posture of wanting to rush up and twist her ears.

Jia Shi bit his lip and said bitterly.

Chi Yue really couldn't look past it, and said to Chi Xuemei: "Aunt, don't blame your sister-in-law for talking back, even Yue'er thinks you are talking too much." This is just an ignorant child, and the unfortunate things that happened in the family really can't be blamed on her. Gu is a reasonable person, and she was too angry when she thought about it, so she said nonsense. ”

Listening to what Chi Yue said reasonably, and perceiving Chi Yue's cold gaze, Chi Xuemei resisted the urge to continue scolding Jia's family, turned back to Chi Yue and said with a sneer: "Chi Yue, you are right, it was my aunt who said the wrong thing, I was really too angry just now, and I couldn't help but talk nonsense." ”

In his heart, he still wanted to cut this child with a thousand knives before he stopped.

If it weren't for the fact that only this place was quieter now, and there were so many people outside, she would have banished Jia Shi and the child elsewhere and talked about her business with Chi Yue.

"By the way, where did you go?" Chi Xuemei frowned and thought about it, and suddenly patted her braincase, "I remembered!" Shicai said that our pig barn was also infected with swine fever, and a lot of pigs died one after another, right? Oh, seeing so much loss at once, your uncle was in a hurry to get angry, and almost didn't tear down our house, venting his annoyance. What could be done? The money to buy the pig is still borrowed by us, and now we haven't paid off the debt, so there is this stubble, where is your uncle going to raise the money and revitalize the pig barn? Hey, seeing that he doesn't leave his big pipe all day long, doesn't even eat, just drinks and smokes, and can't sleep well, and he loses weight day by day, I feel so distressed! ”

Chi Xuemei touched her chest, her face overflowing with pain, and the smile on her face was in stark contrast to Shicai's eyebrows and smiles outside.

Chi Yue watched her exaggerated movements, waiting for her to get down to business next.

Sure enough, Chi Xuemei seized the opportunity, grabbed Chi Yue's hand, and looked forward to it sincerely, "Chi Yue, I and your uncle love you the most, seeing that you are different from other girls, today is really not what we expected, you are really better than a boy!" Chi Yue, for the sake of our family, your uncle will lend you a few taels of silver first, can you tide over this difficulty? When we regain our strength and make a fortune, we will pay you back twice! ”

Chi Yue suddenly realized, it turned out that when she saw her for the first time, the family made a plan to get some benefits from her, so she was so courteous to the Zhou family, and Chi Yue was even more painful like a baby.

She should have thought that the country is easy to change, her nature is difficult to change, there is nothing to ask her, Chi Xuemei, a cold-blooded woman like the old mansion, is categorically unwilling to pull down her face and treat them so hospitablely.

However, why can't she remember how her aunt and uncle hurt her?

After thinking about it, if he lent her the money like this, would it be possible for Chi Xuemei to treat the Zhou family sincerely from now on?

And she lent the money to Chi Xuemei this time, and it was hard to ensure that after Lao Narrow knew, Grandma Chi would come to the door again and beat her idea.

Thinking about it left and right like this, Chi Yue couldn't make up her mind for a while.

Seeing Chi Yue's hesitant expression, Chi Xuemei suddenly became anxious, and grabbed Chi Yue's hand more and more tightly, "Chi Yue, I know that although your workshop has encountered thorns and bumps, it has not reached the point of owing a lot of debts and being forced to close down. And if you grow mushrooms and open a workshop in the village, you can earn dozens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver a year, right? My aunt and uncle only asked you to borrow twenty taels, twenty taels is enough, I think it's not too much for you, right? Chi Yue, just be kind and help your uncle this time! If you don't help, your uncle may not be able to think about it one day, so he will commit suicide by jumping into the river! When the time comes, I don't want to live either! ”

As he spoke, he slapped his legs and whimpered and cried.

But she didn't dare to cry too loudly, after all, there were so many people outside, hearing her crying, they would definitely come in and ask what was going on. At that time, won't her plan be messed up and all her previous efforts will be wasted?

She couldn't do such a thankless task.

"Aunt, don't cry." Chi Yue politely withdrew her hand, patted the back of her hand, and made up her mind.

Chi Xuemei has done so much to act, I think she has made up her mind, and she must ask Chi Yue to agree to her request before she stops. Otherwise, the one who will suffer here later will be designated as the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is soft-hearted and charitable, and he will definitely not be able to stand Chi Xuemei's hard work, Chi Yue will not lend it to them, and the Zhou family will lend it to them out of his own pocket.

It's just that these people probably heard from the people in the old mansion that all the silver money was in Chi Yue's hands, so they swept past the Zhou family and went straight to find Chi Yue.

How did they know that since the old house gradually stopped coming to the door to find trouble, Chi Yue relaxed her guard against Zhou, and simply paid Zhou's salary every month, asking her to save it for herself.

She gave Zhou an extra few taels of silver, and Zhou probably had the intention of saving a dowry for the child, so she didn't shirk it, and took it all.

Zhou's thrifty nature, thinking that after half a year, he has no less than twenty taels of silver.

However, she had already given five taels of silver to the carpenter's family before, and the rest should not be much, but it was more than enough to save Cui Heng's pig barn for the time being.

"Aunt, it's okay to lend you this money, but you have to promise to write me an IOU." Chi Yue said without hurry.

"What, to write an IOU?" Chi Xuemei stopped wailing, wiped the two tears that were squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, and looked at Chi Yue in disbelief, "Chi Yue, I'm your aunt, but I just asked you for twenty taels of silver, what IOU do you want my aunt to write to you?" Chi Yue, do you think that your aunt and your uncle are outsiders and can't trust us? ”
