Hanging eyes were erected, pointing to the side with a fine firewood in her hand, Mei Xiaotong, who was smiling, was about to scold, "You-" I don't know what I remembered, I barely swallowed the scolding words, and my face was still not good-looking.

"In-laws, why is your little girl still the same as when she was a child, beating people at every turn? Look at it, look at the hand that beats my family's stone - no matter how old you are, you can't beat someone without asking about the blue and white? Anyway, we are guests, not to mention please sit on the table in the hall, serve tea and pour water, why do you still move? ”

"Whew! What kind of guest are you? What's wrong with my daughter's beating? Mo said that he just hit a stone, it was her nephew, why, can't he hit it? It's like you who have no face, no skin, no interest, and no tutor! It's good to eat a little porridge and pickles, what's the point? Do you want to come to my house for meat? Look at how your Sun family teaches the children, who are so adults, run into someone's yard, and the paws will stretch out where they shouldn't be! No matter how much I owe my paws, I touched everywhere, wasted my steamed buns, and saw that the old lady didn't take a knife to chop it-" Mrs. Li originally looked at the appearance of the Sun family, so she held back the fire.

That Sun family's mother-in-law still dares to climb her daughter, isn't this looking for death?

The woman who helped was also startled, the people of the Sun family were too unruly, I don't know if the pot can't be opened in the middle of this steamed steamed bun, even if it is steamed, it will have to be stuffy for a while?

is so careless, what should I do if the steamed buns in this steamer are wasted?

If this was his own child, if he dared to do such a scourge, he would have been beaten up a long time ago.

It's just that this is the grandson of the Mei family, so I don't want to say much, I muttered a few words, and my eyes are good and I am afraid that the Sun family will make trouble again.

In addition to Sun Shishi's second child at home, he is the most liked by the Sun family's mother-in-law, where has he suffered such grievances, especially when he was beaten by Mei Xiaotong, who was even more unconvinced, staring at Mei Xiaotong with a pair of eyes, scolding and scolding in his mouth, eager to rush up.

"Mei Xiaotong, you-" The rest of the words were twisted behind his back by his daughter-in-law, and it hurt so much that he stopped his mouth.

After the daughter-in-law said something in Sun Shishi's ear, Sun Shishi reluctantly put away his expression and reluctantly stood aside.

Mei Xiaotong has five feelings, and naturally these words have not been hidden from her ears.

What the stone daughter-in-law said was: "Are you stupid, now that you have offended them, why do you want to meet them?" Besides, I'll have lunch in a while, I see that there is meat and fish, which is better than what our family eats during the New Year, why can't I get along with money and food? If you are angry, you can just eat more meat for a while. ”

Immediately crying and laughing, she leaned into Mrs. Li's ear and said: "I guess they heard that our family asked someone to help them eat and pay for it. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she took a sip: "Phew! The family has no face and no skin, and if there is a benefit, they will gather around like a fly, and they can't get rid of it......"

I'm not done yet, over there

The mother-in-law was also muttered in the ear by the stone daughter-in-law before she reluctantly laughed: "Forget it, this family doesn't speak two words, they are all relatives, so we don't care so much." Okay, the eldest child, the second child, the eldest daughter-in-law, Shishi, you go to the new house to help, and Shi and Shi's daughter-in-law will stay at home to help! ”

actually took the initiative to assign tasks. Mei Yongzhen opened her mouth to say something, but was dragged out by Sun Daming, and when she arrived at the door, she looked at Mei Zhongzhong with a calm face, and squeezed out a smile embarrassedly: "Dad, then let's go." ”

Mei Zhongzhong's face was calm, and he grabbed Mei Yongzhen: "Go ahead, I'll talk to my daughter." "This is to keep Mei Yongzhen.

Sun Daming nodded hurriedly, covered the mouth of Sun Shishi, who was about to speak, and left, Sun Lao Er smiled at Mei Zhongzhong in the back, and also followed.

Mei Zhongzhong looked at Mei Yongzhen, who lowered her head, and sighed: "Follow me to the house." So saying, he went up to the room.

Mei Yongzhen's eyes were red, and she followed behind and entered the upper room.

As soon as Mrs. Li saw it, she was about to follow up, but was pulled by Mei Xiaotong.

It is estimated that Mei Zhongzhong saw that Mei Yongzhen had not eaten, felt sorry for her, asked her to go in, gave her something to pad her stomach, and said something to the father and daughter by the way.

Mrs. Li, the stepmother, went in at this time, wouldn't she be blind.

"Mother, don't go in, let my father talk to my eldest sister. Besides, the eldest sister's mother-in-law, you have to watch it! Don't let them miss the time to eat. Mei Xiaotong persuaded.

Mrs. Li looked at the sky, it was almost time for lunch, and she couldn't delay any longer, this was the right thing.

In the courtyard, the mother-in-law of the Sun family squeezed around the mother-in-law who cut meat: "Oh, I'm good at cutting meat, let me come." ”

Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law also stood next to the woman who was cleaning up the fish: "It's cold weather, and I'm the most guilty of cleaning up the fish, so let me come!" ”

but took the initiative to rush to work.

Where did the mother-in-law who came to help dare to give the work to others, and they robbed it, wouldn't she have nothing to do? If you don't have anything to do, you won't get paid.

This is a way to cut off people's money!

Not to mention, this grandson stone is the grandson of the Mei family, and this granddaughter-in-law still has one in her belly, if there is any accident, she can't afford to pay for it.

The mothers-in-law who helped, one by one, were steady under their feet, the meat cutting knife was waving quickly, and they said in their mouths: "Oh, this grandson's mother, go away quickly, be careful that my knife doesn't have eyes, if I accidentally cut into your hand......"

The one who cleaned up the fish shook the tail of the fish for a while, and the fish scales and blood flew: "The daughter-in-law of the Sun family, you can't be it!" You are guests, where can you make guests dirty! Besides, you have a body, so take a good rest, we have enough of these jobs! ”

They all took the things in their hands seriously, so that the grandmother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family did not find a chance to intervene for a long time.

Two mothers-in-law and granddaughters-in-law

changed his eyes, and he was not in a hurry, but he had nothing to say, and talked to those mothers-in-law.

"Sister, you have good knife skills, your hands and feet are nimble, no wonder my in-laws asked you to help! But please someone, you are here to help, and the family is settled? The mother-in-law of the Sun family was cheeky and moved a stool to sit next to the mother-in-law who cut meat.

The mother-in-law didn't want to deal with it, if it was her own in-laws, she would be so shameless, and she would have swept it out with a broom.

But this is in the Mei family, looking at the Mei family's sake, looking at the wages, and only barely humming.

I thought in my heart, I used to say that Mrs. Li was powerful, but now it seems that where is it? This stepmother is aggrieved in front of her, such a family, if she is her own daughter, how can you say it, but because

It's not biological, and you have to be careful.

The eldest daughter of the Mei family is also useless with a clear brain, the four younger brothers of her mother's family are all born to the stepmother, it is not good to tie up the stepmother, and get along with the four younger brothers.

And Na Mei is loyal, she is also a confused, married daughter, if there is anything, it is naturally the mother who comes forward, and the stepmother is also the mother! For the sake of fame and face, the stepmother has to do better.

It's good for him to call such a big girl to the house, and he is stunned to hang his mother-in-law aside, isn't this more and more centrifugal for his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Because he was thinking about things in his heart, he had to be distracted and cut meat, so he didn't listen carefully to what the Sun family's mother-in-law said, and replied two sentences randomly.

I heard the mother-in-law of the Sun family slap her thigh: "Oh, here you help cook a meal and pay the salary?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the mother-in-law who cut the meat suddenly became excited, and almost didn't cut it into her hand, and immediately knew that things were going to be bad.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law of the Sun family got up and ran to Mrs. Li, "In-laws, I have long heard that your family is rich now, and sure enough, this style is different!" Even the mother-in-law who helps with the cooking is paid, which is more generous than the big families in the city! Oh, look at this big deal, it's meat, fish and tofu, it's better than what we eat for the New Year. ”

Mrs. Li took out dried mushrooms from the cloth bag and put them in a basin to soak, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, let it go!" The old lady is very busy, and I don't have time to talk to you! Didn't you say you came to my house to help? Just mouth to help? I didn't see that we were all busy, no one moved the firewood, no one washed the dishes, didn't you see it? ”

The mother-in-law of the Sun family was not annoyed, but only said to Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law: "Shishi's family, you go and wash the vegetables." ”

Although the stone daughter-in-law was reluctant, she also went, and a basket of radishes was placed by the well, and she slowly drew a basin of water, threw all the radishes into it, and casually soaked them in the basin, even if they were washed.

The mother-in-law who helped couldn't look at it: "Daughter-in-law of the Sun family, your radish has not been washed, and it is still muddy." ”

Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law is pricking up her ears to listen to the Sun family's mother-in-law and her in-laws

When she spoke, she heard someone say about her, and immediately rolled her eyes: "If you don't eat it cleanly, you won't get sick." Why do we pay so much attention to our villagers? Besides, you're not the master's family, but you're hired by the master's family to work, so what qualifications do you have to look at me with a big nose and small eyes? I'm the granddaughter-in-law of the Lord's family! ”

The mother-in-law who helped was a hot temper, and when she heard Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law say this, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to fight.

was quickly stopped by the eyes of the person next to him: "Oh, sister-in-law, you dissipate your anger." People still have one in their stomachs, you should stay away, otherwise you won't be able to tell if something happens! Let's go, get me some firewood—" Dragged away alive and dead.

Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law straightened her belly, and said proudly at the back of the mother-in-law: "It's good to know what your identity is, and you also come to ask me to be strong, and don't look at who I am——"

Mei Xiaotong walked up to her slowly and said, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm a serious granddaughter-in-law of the Mei family, and I can be half of the Mei family—" The rest of the words were blocked in his throat.

The stone daughter-in-law finally squeezed out a smile: "Little ...... Auntie, why did you suddenly stand behind me and scare me. Mei Xiaotong glanced at her coldly: "Since you said it, you are the granddaughter-in-law of the Mei family, and she is pregnant with a child, where can you still work?" I looked at it coldly, you can't even wash the radish, and you don't do anything in the Sun family if you want to, but I can't afford you to come to our Mei family to work, in case there is something, it can't be said to be our Mei family's fault? I think you're still-"

"Auntie! Auntie, I'm fine! I haven't shown it yet! Besides, the women of our village are not so squeamish, what is it to be pregnant with a child? Don't delay the work, I'll wash it now, I'll wash it now-" Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law hurriedly ran back to the well and fetched water to wash again.

Mei Xiaotong also knew that Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law was talking about the truth about the daughters-in-law of most of the Zhuang families today.

The women of the village family worked like they were pregnant with children, and there were those who gave birth to their children in the ground, and there were also those who carried the fields under water with big bellies.

After giving birth, there are few people who can sit on the full moon, basically after giving birth, they can stay on the kang for seven days, and the in-laws are kind.

But even if she hates the people of the Sun family, she can't do anything to make pregnant women squat and wash turnips. It's just that if she reveals a little bit of this meaning, this Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law may be able to climb down the pole and cause trouble.

Therefore, I can only endure it, pay more attention, and if there is really anything, it is better to protect it as soon as possible.

That Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law didn't know, she just felt that this Mei Xiaotong was too annoying, so many people didn't look at her, they stared at her, and she couldn't be lazy if she wanted to.

I had to wash it again and muttered and cursed in a low voice: "I'm phew! What's the big deal, but with a few stinky money, I really think I'm Miss Everybody? It's just a stepmother, and she also takes the money of her elders in front of me. If it weren't for the fact that I could go to your house to eat some meat, and I could mix some money and spend some money, I wouldn't have invited the old lady to carry the sedan chair

Come to your house......"

Mei Xiaotong sank her face, this Sun Shishi's daughter-in-law is also the granddaughter-in-law of the Mei family, thinking about the Mei family's money, but also talking about such an unclean mouth, is it really the Mei family who is wronged?

Over there, Mrs. Sun was pulling Mrs. Li and not letting go: "I said mother-in-law, I know everything, you invite others to help, all pay for it, our family has come to help your family, for the sake of your eldest daughter, you have to take care of it, right?" We don't ask for much, we just have to be like them! ”

"We are a family of five, three meals a day, each of our three women has five big money a day, the eldest and second of my family still have stones, that is a man, he does all the hard work, and compared to others, fifteen big money a day? You say yes, mother-in-law? ”

Mrs. Li shook off the hand of the mother-in-law of the Sun family: "Do you want to be your mother's dream of Qingqiu?" Want money? The old lady told you that there is no eldest son! Looking at the face of the eldest girl, if you come and sweep you out with a broom, and give you a mouthful of porridge to eat, you will be content, right? Kicking your nose and asking for money? If you don't have money, you want nothing! We won't give you a single thatch from our Mei family! ”

When the mother-in-law of the Sun family saw Mrs. Li's attitude, she was also annoyed: "I said in-laws, what kind of attitude do you have?" It depends on the owner to beat the dog, no matter what, our eldest daughter-in-law is still the daughter of your Mei family! It is said that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders! It's good that you'd rather give money to outsiders than to your in-laws! Speaking of which, you are ruthless as a stepmother, and you don't treat the girl left by the lady in front of you as a person, and you don't go out

It's frustrating, this is out of the door, and it's getting more and more black-hearted......"

※※※

As soon as Mei Zhongzhong entered the house, she first took out the pastry box sent by Boss Zhang from the cabinet, took out two pieces of dim sum, handed them to Mei Yongzhen, and lowered her voice: "Eat some mats, pads, belly, this is a ...... from the big boss in the capital."

Mei Yongzhen's eyes were red, and when she heard her father say this, tears fell all of a sudden, she choked up and took the snack, which was fragrant and white in her hand, and she didn't know what it was called, and she heard that it was given by the big boss in the capital, so she didn't dare to say it.

My heart is getting more and more bitter, and now my mother's family is getting better and better, and the boss of the capital has sent snacks, but my life at my mother-in-law's house is ......

"Eat it, it's still after eating." Mei Zhongzhong saw that Mei Yongzhen didn't eat, and urged.

Mei Yongzhen was really hungry, hesitated, didn't resist the hunger, took a bite of the snack, it was sweet and glutinous, and before she knew it, she finished eating two pieces, and barely suppressed the hunger in her stomach.

Mei Zhongzhong looked at her eldest daughter, who looked hungry, picked out a few more pieces, and poured her a bowl of water.

Mei Yongzhen gobbled it up, drank a bowl of water in one go, and poured another bowl of water himself, so that he could be considered alive.

"What the hell are you doing? The Sun family didn't give you food? Why today your mother-in-law took your brother-in-law and the stone and

What are they doing here, his daughter-in-law? Mei Zhongzhong was also a stomachful of questions, and when she saw that her daughter was full, she asked.

Mei Yongzhen shed tears when she mentioned this, "This year's harvest at home is not good, and the family has a large population, so my mother said that now I have nothing to do when I am slack anyway, what do you do if you eat so much?" Two porridges a day......"

"Even two porridges won't be hungry like this, you haven't eaten enough for a few days?" Mei is loyal and not stupid.

"Mother said, the men want to go out, they can't bear the food in their stomachs, the children are still young, they have to grow their bodies, the younger siblings are weak, the stone daughter-in-law has not been happy for several years, and this year I finally got pregnant, and I can't ......lose it," Mei Yongzhen muttered for a long time before she said half-vomit and half-revealed.

"Then the whole family is hungry for you?" Mei Zhongzhong was so angry that she trembled all over her body and held on to the edge of the kang.

"Mother said, I'm a sister-in-law, I want to let some ......," Mei Yongzhen whispered.

"What about stone and wood? They just look at you, a mother, hungry? Mei Zhongzhong was really angry and had no place to speak, so she lowered her voice and asked.

But when I remembered that Fang Caishi made two bowls of porridge, one bowl for each of his daughter-in-law, and his grandmother and father didn't care about it, I knew that there was no hope.

"The stone is at home, he is a little child's family, what can he say? The last time the wood was done, the woman's family asked for too much dowry, and our family couldn't take it out. In the first half of the year, his father sent him to the next town as an apprentice, so that he could save some chewing for ......," Mei Yongzhen said honestly.

Speaking of which, Mei Zhongzhong still remembers: "At the beginning, your sister gave you five taels of silver and a piece of cloth, and you added some more, isn't it enough for the bride price?" Who are you giving wood to? ”

Mei Yongzhen said embarrassedly: "There are several brothers above the daughter, and they are counting on this girl to marry someone to collect some bride price to marry the daughter-in-law, and she wants fifteen taels of silver, where can our family get it." ”
