Chapter 153: The Cloth That Failed to Dye
Mei Xiaotong hurriedly "touched" the piece of cloth that was dyed yesterday from her waist, although it was not bright enough, it was very even.
The proprietress knows how to do it, her originally casual eyes, after seeing the cloth, suddenly lit up, and she held the cloth and looked at it over and over for a long time before asking, "Are you really dyed?" ”
Mei Xiaotong nodded.
"That's it?" The proprietress pinched it.
"No, there's an indigo 'color' and a crimson 'color'." Although Mei Xiaotong has not yet succeeded in dyeing it, with systematic prompts, she feels that it is only a matter of time.
"I didn't expect you to have this talent! In this way, dyeing such a small piece of fabric is nothing, and the difficulty is that the whole cloth must be evenly colored. If you can dye a whole piece of cloth of the color you say, I'll want it all! "The hostess is also a cheerful person.
The main reason is that now if she doesn't find a breakthrough in her business, she will really close the shop.
Although the little girl in front of her doesn't look very reliable, she will treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.
If this little girl can really dye the whole cloth, she will be hairy!
What Mei Xiaotong wanted was the words of the proprietress, and the two agreed, and the proprietress sent a few more rags, and personally sent the two to the door.
Out of the gate, An Huahao looked at Mei Xiaotong's eyes, full of inquiry.
Mei Xiaotong naturally knew that he must be full of doubts at the moment, but if she didn't care about him, she wouldn't tell him! Suffocate him!
After negotiating two businesses, and buying everything she wanted to buy, Mei Xiaotong was in a good mood.
was thinking about whether to go to the pastry shop to bring some snacks to Mrs. Li and the children at home, and ran into an acquaintance.
Who is not Li Jinzhi?
Looking at it this way, Li Jinzhi's face was haggard, and his face was painted white, like brushing putty, God knows how many layers were brushed.
As soon as the wind blew, the powder floating on his face fell to the ground.
His face was painted white, his mouth was blood-red, and his clothes were brightly dressed, but his neck was black and yellow, and he was clearly distinguished from top to bottom.
Plus her belly is also four or five months old, and although she is wearing a loose skirt, her belly can also be seen.
Li Jinzhi didn't expect to meet Mei Xiaotong in the town, but she didn't recognize it at first.
Just recognize An Huahao.
An Hua Hao's Jun is only well known.
Which big girl and little daughter-in-law "woman" have never dreamed of An Huahao in their dreams.
Even Li Jinzhi, when she saw An Huahao, she was also moved, but later An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong got married, plus she knew that the Song family was a fire pit, and she couldn't endure hardship or offense, so she quickly lost her mind and hooked up with He Dawei.
Since she came to the town, she has been fighting with He Dawei's old pious woman every day, and I don't know if she is angry or what, and her nostalgia is not very good.
Better
What I am afraid of is that after three months of conceiving this child, my stomach will blow up, not to mention, my face will turn yellow and black, and my cheekbones and cheeks will have spots.
I have to apply a thick layer of powder every day to barely cover it, and as time goes by, the face becomes more and more unsightly, and I don't dare to go out without powder.
He Dawei, the dead ghost, used to be a girl by himself, when he was beautiful, he couldn't get rid of him like a dog who saw a bone, and now he is still pregnant with his child, but he is not as beautiful as before, and he can't serve him anymore, plus there are many sub-foxes and goblins in the town, and they are not ashamed to dress up in the demons, which has hooked He Dawei to run outside day and night these days.
For this, the old pious woman did not squeeze herself, saying that He Dawei didn't want her anymore, and when she gave birth to a child, she would be driven away! also scolded her for being shameless, and she was in the He family without a name or point, how ugly it sounded and how ugly it was.
In the past, He Dawei was still on his side, but now He Dawei is becoming more and more impatient with himself.
Li Jinzhi knows that she has nowhere to go now, He Dawei is her only lifeline, no matter what, she can't let go of death.
In the past few days, she has stopped fighting with the old pious woman, so she wants to keep an eye on He Dawei and not let him be hooked by the "Sao" fox outside.
Therefore, after finishing the things in the store, she didn't see He Dawei at noon, she knew it, but she didn't know where to go there.
I wasn't in the mood to eat lunch, so I dropped my rice bowl and searched all over town.
Who expected to meet An Huahao, thinking about his current image, and then looking at An Huahao seems to be more handsome than before, Li Jinzhi was ashamed and annoyed, feeling that his image appeared in front of An Huahao, it was too embarrassing.
Awkwardly turned his eyes away, only to find that there was a girl next to An Huahao?
When I looked closely, I couldn't help but feel sour.
Although this girl looks chubby, she is not the slender when she was a girl, but her chest is her chest, her waist is her waist, she is thin where she should be, and she is fat where she should be fat.
Especially the face, clean and pink, good health at a glance, full of qi and blood, the mouth is also small and ruddy, the eyes are still big, and the eyelashes are still long!
When did An Huahao get along with such a girl?
Li Jinzhi stared at it twice, and the more he looked, the more he found that this girl was familiar, especially after the girl saw it, she was stunned, obviously she knew herself?
"Mei Xiaotong?!" Li Jinzhi lost his voice.
"Li Jinzhi? Didn't you leave your father and family and elope to He's house overnight? Doesn't look like you're having a good time? After Mei Xiaotong looked her up and down, she nodded with satisfaction.
"You! Are you with Anhua Hao like this? Didn't you quit your family? Are you still shamelessly pestering him? How are you better than me? No one wants to post it upside down! After Li Jinzhi heard Mei Xiaotong's words, he immediately jumped to his feet.
"You're sticking someone upside down? Who gave you a name? I've heard that the He family doesn't admit you
What about this daughter-in-law? People who don't have a marriage book and no matchmaker are embarrassed to laugh at me? Why is the face so big? Besides, An Huahao and I, one of us didn't marry, the other didn't marry, what's wrong with going together? What's in your way? With this in mind, let's think about how to enter the door of the He family! Mei Xiaotong sneered.
"I don't need you to '' about my business! I've heard that your Mei family is now defeated! It's really an eye-opener, it hurt our family at the beginning, and "forced" my father and brother to suffer in that place now, and robbed our house and land! So what? Isn't it retribution now? ”
"It can be seen that God has eyes! On that day, your family relied on the talent of your second brother to make our family to this point! But your second brother is not a good thing, haha, he avenged us! Your land has been sold, and now I'm afraid you won't even be able to open the pot, right? Your boss is a piece of waste, and your father has had a stroke! Relying on Mei Changgui's idiot, he can only starve to death! Can't even open the pot now? ”
"Otherwise, your mother fed you like a dead fat pig so carefully, and now the family has no money and no food, so you're hungry like this, right? Deserve! This is all the retribution of your family! Li Jinzhi was so angry that he almost lost his mind, and he only thought about how to make himself happy, so he said whatever he wanted.
Her voice was so loud that it attracted people from the shops on both sides of the street to peek out.
When I saw that it was Li Jinzhi, and I heard that it was the Mei family, who still didn't understand?
Look at the girl from the Mei family opposite Li Jinzhi, hey, the little girl is pitiful, she is so scolded that she doesn't know how to talk back.
An Huahao couldn't listen to it anymore, and glanced at Li Jinzhi in disgust, the people of the Li family, except for the two brothers Li Jinhu and Li Jingou, are really so annoying.
Take a step forward and want to say something.
was dragged back by Mei Xiaotong, joke! The battlefield of two women, what do men mix in?
To deal with people like Li Jinzhi, do you still need others?
"I'm so thin, it's not that I deserve it, it's no way! Who made our family always encounter such unconscionable brutes as yours? In the face of this kind of misfortune, if I am not angry, am I still human? ”
"I'm not as cheeky and dark as you! There is a younger brother who attempted murder, a pair of fathers and mothers who want to sell their daughters for a good price all day long, and an "adulterer" husband who has a big belly before marriage, so you can't be like you, you can't stay in the "adulterer" husband's house without a name or a dead face, your belly is so big, if you are not recognized by the He family, you can still swagger through the market, as if you are nothing! ”
"At the beginning, I didn't look down on my fourth brother because I had a bit of posture, so I had to hook up with the He family, but now I am old and decrepit, and I don't dare to see people without a few layers of powder on my face, right? Alas, now my fourth brother is still young and strong, if the two of you stand together, those who don't know will think that you are his aunt! ”
"Let me see your face, it must be spotted, right? And this neck,
It's so dark! The next time you apply powder, remember to brush your neck too! I can especially understand you, really! Life is so difficult, I must be bitter in my heart! Isn't the bitterness in the heart poisonous in the mouth? Don't worry, I'm relieved to see that you're doing so badly! It's true! Mei Xiaotong also emphasized in particular.
When the proprietress of the cloth village who was attracted heard this last sentence, she couldn't help but laugh, this little girl, hey, this mouth, it's really unforgiving!
There are also people next to me who laughed, but no, as a woman, the most intolerable thing is for others to say that they are ugly, black, and old! This little girl doesn't leave these points, didn't she see that Li Jinzhi was so angry that her eyes were about to bulge?
Li Jinzhi only felt that his face was torn off in public and stepped on the soles of his feet.
Although everyone knows that Li Jinzhi's maiden family is the Li family that harmed the boss of the Mei family.
But after all, the neighbors, look up and don't look down, and besides, there are those who are greedy for cheap, and they still want to buy something cheap from He's shop.
The two elder sisters of the He family have been married to the town for so many years, and they also know a few people.
In order to save face for the two sisters and brother-in-law of the He family, everyone at most said a few words behind their backs, and never said it in person.
Li Jinzhi also deceived himself and thought, no one in this town said about her, thinking that she was far away from the village and had not yet come here.
It's okay if everyone doesn't know their own details, so she doesn't have to feel that she can't raise her head and be inferior.
But today, after such a fuss, Mei Xiaotong exposed all her old bottoms, and the whole person seemed to be stripped naked, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The resentment in my heart became more and more resentful!
If she hadn't overheard her words with her mother, how could the Mei family have withdrawn from the marriage? If you don't withdraw from the marriage, Jin Long will want to take revenge so much! If there is no revenge, the Li family will not fall to this point?
I can't say that Jin Long can still be admitted to Xiucai, and he is also Xiucai's sister, so he can naturally marry into the He family.
With the support of the golden dragon, can the two old immortals of the He family look down on themselves? He Dawei dares to go out and steal fish?
Speaking of which, it's all Mei Xiaotong! Without her, she wouldn't have ended up in such a field! Li Jinzhi looked at Mei Xiaotong with resentment in his eyes.
Mei Xiaotong is afraid of her?
sneered, waved at Li Jinzhi, dragged An Huahao away.
An Huahao looked at Mei Xiaotong with a complicated mood, recalling her sharp teeth just now, and she didn't jump or be annoyed and angry, and she looked very understanding, which made Li Jinzhi angry.
The resentful eyes, he looked at it and felt a chill in his back.
hesitated: "You be careful, Li Jinzhi!" ”
Mei Xiaotong nodded, and saw that someone at the intersection was selling the white sugar cake that had just come out of the pot, so she went up happily, bought it for ten yuan, and wrapped it in dried lotus leaves and carried it in her hand.
Seeing her heartless appearance, An Huahao "rubbed" and "rubbed" her eyebrows and followed.
When she was about to reach the entrance of the village, Mei Xiaotong stood and took her from her arms
took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to An Huahao, "It's this 'medicine', you find a time, come to my house, and give this 'medicine' to my eldest brother, this 'medicine' is called Muscle and Bone Water, one drop a day, and it can be kept after a month!" It's just that this "medicine" is not good, my eldest brother's leg, even if it is good in the future, it will hurt when it rains, and this "medicine" it affects the longevity! Tell him all of this and see if he chooses to drink or not! ”
An Huahao took the "medicine" and silently put it into his arms.
"Alright, give me something! It's all at the entrance of the village, let's go back to our own homes and find our own mothers! Mei Xiaotong motioned to An Huahao to give the basket to herself.
Anhua Hao staggered Mei Xiaotong's hand, and walked straight to the front, "It's not a few steps." ”
If today's "color" is dark late, when you arrive at Mei's house, the sun will go down, and half of the sunset will reflect the sky red.
When she entered the yard, Xiaojuan saw "'Milk', my aunt is back!" ”
Mrs. Li came out of the stove house, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared after seeing An Huahao behind her daughter.
nodded lukewarmly, and when he looked at his daughter, he couldn't help but soften his face, "What good things did you buy in town?" ”
"I brought a white sugar cake for my mother, my mother tasted it!" As he spoke, he opened the lotus leaf, the white sugar cake still had residual warmth, and fed a piece to Mrs. Li's mouth, which was sweet to the heart.
Mrs. Li ate a piece, and looked at her daughter's eyes becoming softer and softer, "Tired, go wash your face and eat later!" ”
An Huahao silently put the back basket on the wall, then nodded from Mrs. Li and said hello, "Auntie, I'm leaving!" ”
Mrs. Li waved her hand, "Let's go, ah-"
It wasn't until An Huahao walked out of the courtyard gate that Mrs. Li came back to her senses, "The Song family is a descendant, is this talking to me?" ”
Mei Xiaotong laughed, "Mother, of course I'm talking to you and calling you aunt!" If you talk to me, you'll have to call the girl—"
"Just your poor mouth!" Mrs. Li slapped her, and then said, "This is the first time I have spoken to me in my life!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he hurriedly looked at his daughter, for fear that her daughter would be unhappy.
Mei Xiaotong didn't care about this for a long time, just when Xiaoque called her warm water, she washed her face busily, and said vaguely, "Maybe people are enlightened!" ”
Mrs. Li was stunned, but no! Looking at the appearance of the Song family in this later life, could it be that after his daughter saved his life, and his daughter is now thin and good-looking, so he is interested in his daughter again?
In the past, I was afraid that I would avoid the Mei family and my daughter, but now I have taken the initiative to come to the door and carry things for my daughter.
Mrs. Li carried the back basket, which was heavy.
Finally, my impression of An Huahao is a little better.
Looking at his daughter-in-law again, her heartless appearance is different from before, when she saw the kid from the Song family, and she couldn't pull out her eyeballs.
Mrs. Li decided,
Take a look at it again.
Thinking to himself, he went to the back basket in his hand and saw a piece of cloth and a bag of lime.
Thinking of the dyed cloth that her daughter said, Mrs. Li was excited and hurriedly carried these things to her daughter's room.
When I came out, I saw that the girl gave the white sugar cake to a few children to eat, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the lotus leaf bag, "This precious thing, isn't it bad for them to eat?" Everyone has eaten a piece, and they still haven't had enough 'sex'? ”
The children scattered.
Mrs. Li fed Mei Xiaotong a piece, and before she could speak, Mei Xiaotong leaned over lazily, "Mother, I told the shopkeeper Zheng that our dried meat will be sold to him." ”
What Mrs. Li wanted to ask immediately forgot, "Really? ”
In the past few days, Mrs. Li is also worried, so much jerky, what can I do?
Eat it all? So much meat, all eaten, that's going to be a long life!
Giving away? Think beautifully!
Sold? Sell it to whom?
Today, almost all of the meat has been roasted, and she roughly estimated, forty or fifty pounds, and was thinking about waiting for her daughter to come back and discuss with her.
Anyway, now at home, I and my daughter understand people, and the others are either white-eyed wolves or fools!
Who would have thought, before she could speak, this girl surprised herself, sure enough, she was born by herself, and she wanted to go with herself.
"Shopkeeper Zheng wants it? How much is a pound? Mrs. Li's excited voice fluttered.
"Shopkeeper Zheng said, how much you want, one and a half catties of silver! Mother, how much jerky do we have? Mei Xiaotong took a bite of the white sugar cake and asked.
"I estimate that I'm 'touching' forty or fifty pounds, and when the fourth child comes back, let's weigh it! I'll be a good girl, and at this moment, we can sell it for twenty taels of silver! As soon as Mrs. Li settled the account in her heart, she was almost happy.
"Well, that's not enough! When I dye the cloth and sell it, I have money, mother, don't worry, I will keep and buy our family's land! Mei Xiaotong rubbed Mrs. Li's arm.
Mrs. Li was distressed and happy at the same time, "Hmm! Mother rest assured! With you, my mother can rest assured of everything! Just don't tire yourself too much! The dyed cloth or something, if you can dye it, you can dye it, and if you can't dye it, it's nothing! When our mountain goods business is done, it will be too late to redeem the land! There is a mother in this family to help you be! ”
