"What's the matter, the Mei family has a treat, and they don't even have enough to eat? Didn't you say outside that you would have three meals and be full? The mother-in-law of the Sun family rolled her eyes.

"I said that this grandson's family, just your way of eating, the emperor can't afford it!" A mother-in-law said quickly.

Someone else said to the person next to him: "I've heard that in this world, there is such a kind of person, as soon as he hears that he wants to go to someone else's house for dinner, he will starve at home for a few days to clear his stomach, and then when he arrives at someone else's house, he will be like the starving ghost reincarnated, and eat violently!" This kind of person is the thickest-skinned, and he can't get rid of it! ”

This is clearly for the grandmother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family.

But when the two of them heard it, their faces were not red and they were not panting, as if they hadn't heard it.

It was Mei Yongzhen beside her, her face flushed.

However, looking at the posture of these mothers-in-law, how can they not bring out the fish soup, the mother-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of the Sun family are indeed full, touching their round stomachs, and getting off the table.

A mother-in-law took a sip, stepped forward to clean up the table, and brought out the fish soup and steamed buns, but this pot of vegetables, where is there enough for more than ten people to eat.

Everyone's faces were a little ugly.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly said: "Third sister-in-law, everyone has worked hard today, where is there enough food to eat like this?" Go and fry a big pot of garlic sprouts and eggs, and the hot ones are just right to eat with steamed buns. ”

As soon as Wen, who was in charge of stir-frying, heard this, he got up, and Zhou and a few mothers-in-law followed to help pick and wash the vegetables, chopping them into pieces.

Over there, Mrs. Li had already taken out a small basket from the house, which contained the saved eggs.

For the villagers, eggs are a good thing to nourish, the elderly in the family are uncomfortable, and the children are sick, they will give a stewed egg to eat.

Since the Mei family's life is better, children and adults prefer to eat meat, and in addition to Mei Xiaotong, this egg has saved a lot.

Mrs. Li glared at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family, they were all their scourges, otherwise these eggs could be stored for their daughters to eat.

But since she wants to take it out, Mrs. Li will no longer be stingy, and directly pick out twenty and hand them to Wen: "It's all fried." ”

Wen was also stunned by her mother-in-law's rare generosity today, and was stunned for a moment before hurriedly taking it.

After a while, the fragrant scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts were served, and everyone gathered around the table to eat.

The daughter-in-law of Sun Shi smelled the fragrance of eggs, even if her stomach was round at the moment, she couldn't help but come to the table, and if she didn't have chopsticks, she had to reach out to fish.

was slapped on the hand by Mrs. Li with chopsticks: "Something without rules!" After saying this, he glanced at Mei Yongzhen.

Mei Yongzhen's face was so red that she was dripping blood, and she couldn't hold the chopsticks that were shaking.

She knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was delicious, and in the Sun family, if there was anything delicious, she couldn't escape her nose, and she wanted to take it to her mouth to taste it.

Mei Yongzhen also knows that the eldest daughter-in-law has this problem, she really can't be on the stage, she is fine at home, and when she goes out, others will see it, but she is afraid that she will attract laughter.

I also wanted to teach two sentences, but before I opened my mouth, the eldest daughter-in-law cried and wiped her tears, saying that she had frustrated her, relying on the love of her mother-in-law and the favor of the stone, but let Mei Yongzhen get it.

Especially after this has a body, I am more and more proud, and I have to pinch everything first.

Mei Yongzhen felt ashamed of the previous eating appearance, but at the moment she was still at home, she was full, and she was greedy, so she grabbed it directly, this family with family education and rules, three or four-year-old children can't do this.

But what could she do? She has no face at all in her in-law's house, not even as good as her daughter-in-law, even if she says it, no one listens.

At this moment, Mrs. Li almost pointed in her face and said that there was no tutor and no rules, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law muttered, met Mei Xiaotong's cold gaze, remembered the way Mei Xiaotong lifted the knife before, shuddered, and flashed to the side.

After a while, I couldn't be idle, looking left and right, and those eyes kept glancing up the room.

Seeing everyone eating, no one seemed to be paying attention, and after a while, he rubbed to the door of Mei Xiaotong's room, and was about to reach out to push the door, when he heard a cold drink: "What do you want to do?" Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law hurriedly retracted her hand, and the people who looked at the yard looked at her, and smiled reluctantly: "I haven't been to grandpa's house, so I just take a look......"

Mrs. Li took the bowl in her hand and said directly to Mei Yongzhen, "Eldest daughter, the family is in chaos now, the stone daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, it is inconvenient everywhere, and it will be bad if it collides." You have also eaten, it is not early, the road is far away, and if it is any later, I am afraid that it will be dark, and the empty house at home is now occupied by the masters, so I will not leave you, go back! ”

Don't you just want to eat meat, and you have eaten this meat, so why don't you get out of here?

Mei Yongzhen didn't dare to call the shots, first looking at Mei Zhongzhong, and then looking at the Sun family's mother-in-law, she was in a dilemma.

When the mother-in-law of the Sun family heard this, the Mei family was driving people, anyway, they were full of food and drink, so it was better to go back early.

At that moment, he snorted coldly: "Let's go!" But I'll talk about it first, today, our family is here to help, three men, three women, you can't miss this salary! ”

The mothers-in-law who came to help were amazed, they had never seen such a shameless person, this Mei family is really bloody, there is such a family!

As soon as Mrs. Li's chopsticks fell, it would be good to eat and drink, and she still wanted money?

Mei Zhongzhong next to her grabbed her, "Old woman, give it!" Hurry up and send their family away! Otherwise, if they stay at home, there may be some demon moths at night! ”

It's going to cost you money.

Mei Yongzhen listened to Mei Zhongzhong's tone like sending a disaster star, her face darkened, and she burst into tears.

No one cares about her at the moment.

Mrs. Li took a deep breath, and there was really no way to meet a shrewd scoundrel like Mrs. Sun. At the beginning, because of Xiaotong's grievances in the Sun family, several sons ran to the Sun family to make a fuss, and the table was smashed, and they all said that they had broken off their relatives.

But later, didn't Mei Yongzhen come back cheekily and renew the kiss?

Today, the mother-in-law of the Sun family has suffered such a big loss, and she can endure it, and if she wants to come and don't give some money, she will definitely not leave.

It is said that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes! Now the Sun family is barefoot, and the Mei family is wearing shoes.

The Sun family can be so shameless, but the Mei family wants to be faceless!

Mei Xiaotong is also the first time to meet such a scoundrel, if it really has nothing to do with the Mei family, it will be easy to deal with.

There is a Mei Yongzhen in the middle, and she doesn't give any face, I'm afraid that others will also say that the Mei family is cold.

There is that kind of person in the world, no matter what the truth is, as long as the Mei family really drives Mei Yongzhen and the Sun family away, I am afraid that tomorrow the village will be full of ten miles and eight towns to spread that Mrs. Li's stepmother is not good, control the Mei family, and drive the eldest daughter of the Mei family out of the house.

But if you really want to give, you don't feel happy in your heart, it's as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

However, at this moment, Mei Zhongzhong is also right, send the Sun family away first, and then talk about other things.

Mei Xiaotong was a decisive person, and once she figured it out, she immediately said: "Okay, I'll pay you now, but I'll leave as soon as I get paid." ”

As he spoke, he went to the house and counted out sixty yuan, and then listed the number of the Sun family in the booklet, and wrote down the sixty yuan in wages.

Let the Sun family receive the money according to their fingerprints.

The mother-in-law of the Sun family was very active in asking for money, and when it was her turn to press the handprint, she shirked: "Just let the eldest daughter-in-law press it, I don't understand this." ”

Mei Yongzhen's face was purple, and she stepped forward and pressed her handprint, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, little sister!" ”

took the money, and before he could cover the heat, he was Sun

The mother-in-law snatched it up: "I'll keep this money!" As he spoke, he put the money in his arms, and took Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law and walked outside the courtyard.

As he walked, he said, "Go and call your father and they go home, the money has been received, what are you doing with all that effort?" ”

Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law was still a little dissatisfied: "Milk, that's it?" What about my first meeting with Stone? ”

I don't know what the mother-in-law of the Sun family said, but I vaguely heard a meat word, and the daughter-in-law of Sun Shishi was silent.

Mei Yongzhen lowered her head and followed behind her, and also walked out of the Mei family's yard.

As soon as the three of them left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou stepped forward a few steps forward and closed the courtyard door: "It's okay to go!" ”

Mei Zhongzhong went back to the house with a calm face, and she didn't have the heart to hit the furniture.

Mrs. Li also cheered up, "Okay, the plague god can be regarded as sending away!" Clean up, prepare dinner, and see what is missing, so you can make up for it. ”

The mothers-in-law who helped hurriedly cleaned up, and after a while, one of the mothers-in-law shouted: "Why is the meat in this pot missing?" Was it there before the meal? Isn't there a burglar in the house? ”

When everyone heard this, they all ran over to see that at the door of the stove house, the leftover meat was cut at noon and used a thin layer of salt

Pickled, intended to be eaten at night, is gone at the moment, and only an empty basin remains.

"Everyone is in this courtyard, how can they enter the thief? It can't be taken by a cat, right? "If there is a mother-in-law, she will say.

There are so many people in the yard, everyone knows a little bit about each other's conduct, and they will not do such a shameful thing for the sake of such a piece of meat.

Everyone speculated.

"This is really strange, there are so many people in this courtyard, and no outsiders come in or out, why is the meat gone?"

"But no, if it was a wild cat that came to take it away, and I didn't hear the cat bark?"

"Could it be that some child was naughty and took it?"

……

Accounts differ and opinions vary.

Mei Xiaotong frowned, she suddenly remembered the vague meat word that the Sun family's mother-in-law said just now, could it be her?

Once you suspect it, that kind of wrong thing will come to mind.

At that time, Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law kept dangling and wanted to drill into the house, and everyone's attention was attracted by her, but no one really paid attention to what the Sun family's mother-in-law was doing at that time?

Moreover, the mother-in-law of the Sun family ended her salary so happily and left, and even Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law did not let her stay when she said that she would meet the gift, but let Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law go with her......

Putting together these kinds of clues, who else is there besides the mother-in-law of the Sun family?

Over there, Mrs. Li also suddenly slapped the table: "Don't guess, I know who took it." ”

"Who is it?" Everyone looked back at Mrs. Li.

"Who else, except for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family, who can be so faceless and skinless, and run to the in-laws' house to steal meat!" Mrs. Li was not convinced, so she got up and was about to run outside.

"Such a big piece of meat, you can't cheapen their family for nothing, I have to chase it back!"

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly pulled Mrs. Li: "Mother, forget it!" With the temperament of the mother-in-law of the Sun family, even if they catch up, it is estimated that they will not admit it. What's more, the stone daughter-in-law is still pregnant with a child, can she really do it? If it doesn't work, she hugged her stomach and shouted that she had a fetal gas, and she couldn't say that she would blackmail us. ”

Mrs. Li is willing to give up, the Sun family is shameless to ask for wages, not to mention, and stealing such a large piece of meat, today's loss is huge.

But she also knew that what her daughter said was the truth, and the stone daughter-in-law was pregnant, and there was really a case that the Mei family would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

Especially at this moment, there are outsiders in the yard, Mrs. Li has to suppress her anger, and she has to pretend that she is okay, and tells everyone a few words, go back to the house to get money and buy meat again.

Mei Xiaotong also calmed everyone's emotions and accompanied Mrs. Li to buy meat.

※※※

Let's talk about this, the mother-in-law of the Sun family walked out of the courtyard door awkwardly, and she didn't care about the stone daughter-in-law, and she didn't care about Mei Yongzhen, with her hands in front of her, she ran away.

The stone daughter-in-law wanted to keep up, but she was afraid that her stomach hurt, so she had to walk slowly

As he walked, he shouted, "Milk, slow down, wait for me-"

Mei Yongzhen was worried about her eldest daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and she didn't know which one to follow for a while.

But fortunately, the mother-in-law of the Sun family didn't run far, and stopped after turning a corner, while maintaining the posture of putting her hands in front of her, she ordered: "Old man, you go and call your man, brother-in-law and stone back, let's go home together." ”

Mei Yongzhen hesitated slightly.

Later, the stone daughter-in-law rushed up, held her stomach, and saw the first sentence of the Sun family's mother-in-law: "Milk, where is the meat?" ”

What meat?

Then Mei Yongzhen saw the Sun family's mother-in-law lift her jacket, revealing a piece of fatty pork.

"Mother, this meat-" Mei Yongzhen's voice trembled, where did this meat come from?

"Milk, this piece of meat is really fat! That's enough for our family to eat a few meals! The stone daughter-in-law's eyes lit up.

"No, we didn't come here in vain!" The mother-in-law of the Sun family weighed the fat and was also very satisfied.

No matter how stupid Mei Yongzhen is, she can hear that this meat was taken from Mei's family.

"Mother, did you take this meat from my mother's house? How did I not know? Mei Yongzhen said with difficulty.

"Your mother-in-law, I took a piece of meat from your mother's house, what do you want you to know? Why, you, as a daughter-in-law, are still in charge of your mother-in-law? The mother-in-law of the Sun family snorted coldly.

"I said mother, you are really, can you use a piece of meat to make such a fuss? The two families of King Sun are relatives, who eats this meat or not? And it was not given to outsiders. The stone daughter-in-law said impatiently.

At the same time, he turned his head and patted the ass of the Sun family's mother-in-law: "Milk, when did you put the meat on it, why didn't I see it?" It is estimated that the Mei family still doesn't know that the meat is gone! ”

The mother-in-law of the Sun family said triumphantly: "Hmph, I will take advantage of their meal, just look at you, and I will be in the arms of the meat!" The old lady was so frightened by that girl that her soul was almost gone, and she was slapped by the little beast of the third child of the Mei family, and taking some meat from their family can be regarded as compensation! ”

"Grandma is right, it's a pity that their house is too close, otherwise I can come back by the way, I have touched the door, what a pity!" The stone daughter-in-law is not ashamed, but proud, and regrets that she didn't get something today.

Mei Yongzhen was listening on the side, and suddenly tears fell, and she ran away in embarrassment with her face covered......

※※※

Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong didn't buy meat again, so they had no choice but to rummage around the house and find out the dried fish that Boss Zhang sent to the south and a salted duck.

The fish was dry cleaned, soaked in warm water for a short time, and after steaming in the pot, there was no strange smell, and there was a little sea in the freshness

The smell of fishiness is also unique.

Cut the salted duck into pieces, put the chili pepper in the pot and fry until fragrant, then put in water and boil, the soup turns milky white, and then add the radish cubes. The duck meat is salty and fresh, and the radish is sweet.

It's loved by everyone, and even the soup is drunk

Gotta get clean.

Dinner was barely passed, and after eating, cleaning up, the courtyard door was closed.

Master Jiang, they are not stupid, the matter of making trouble in the main family's house has already spread, and they will not come out of the house where they live after eating.

The people of the Mei family, up and down, went to the upper room.

Mrs. Li endured her anger for a long time, and finally vented: "Old man, say it yourself!" How do you get things done with the Sun family? This is all a good thing done by your good daughter, let's not ask her to take care of the Mei family, but we can't hold on to the wool of our mother's family so stubbornly, right? Look at the face of the Sun family today, that virtue! The family came to our house to grind foreign workers, and then asked for a day's wages, and finally left to take the meat that our family cooked at night! Is this something that the in-laws can do? ”

Mei Zhongzhong's face was embarrassed: "Yongzhen told me that the Sun family has a bad harvest this year, and the family is not having a good time, and they have two porridges every day." In the first half of the year, I was looking for a daughter-in-law for wood, and the bride price required by people was high, and there was no money to give, and wood's relatives were also yellow. This wood can't be delayed, they plan to look at each other again, but the Sun family has no money, isn't she helpless? And the stone daughter-in-law was finally pregnant after so many years, and the eldest daughter was also worried about the child in her belly, so she brought her over......"

"Fuck you! Our village's harvest this year is good, is their home separated from the mountains and the sea? How bad can it be? But it's just lazy! If the Sun family comes back tomorrow, we still have to give money? It will take a month for our house to be built, and our family will have to give the Sun family a few taels of silver for nothing, not to mention, and we have to prevent the Sun family's mother-in-law from going down the road every day, why? ”

Mei Zhongzhong wiped her face and showed tiredness: "Give this money first, and when the house is built, they will have no excuse to come, and then I will talk about Yongzhen again, and I want her to come back less in the future!" This is a big deal today, and it is estimated that the whole village will know about it, and Ming'er is just afraid that everyone will be staring at our family and want to see the jokes of our Mei family. If the Sun family comes to make trouble again tomorrow, it will be a shame and a big loss! ”

Mei Xiaoque saw Mei's loyal appearance, after all, he was his own father, and he couldn't bear it, thought about it, and said: "What my father said makes sense, and now it can only be like this." If we don't give money, the Sun family will make trouble again, which will delay the time, the weather is getting colder and colder, and when it freezes, the house can only stop work, and when the time comes, half of the construction will be stopped? ”
