Chapter 68: Liu He with a Difference
"Wow, it's really unfavorable, I didn't expect to meet the mourning star this year."
At this time, Aunt Liu was fiddling with the dried vegetables in the dustpan, fiddling with her hands indiscriminately, her wrists swaying, and there were some fine dust under the dustpan.
Her eyes didn't look at the work in her hands, her eyes looked out, and her mind had already flown to Wang Liu's house.
"Grandma, the leaves have fallen." Liu Cai looked at the work in Aunt Liu's hand not far away, and kindly reminded her, Aunt Liu saw it, and simply put the dustpan aside and sighed.
"It's really a mourning star, what has happened to my job, don't look at it, there are people on that end, what is there to see."
"Why is there so many people around Uncle Wang's house, and there is a carriage. And why does his dog bark at our house all the time? Liu Cai grunted back to the house, muttering to herself.
Listening to Aunt Liu's ears, my heart was on fire.
"Children have ears and no mouths, wash your hands quickly and stay well." Aunt Liu rarely lost her temper with Liu Cai, if Ah Shui was still present at this time, she would probably still be snickering.
In fact, Ah Shui, as Aunt Liu's own grandson, has never received any love.
Aunt Liu's second son first married his wife and had children, but his wife was gone, and he married Mu Qingniang, but the two of them were forcibly conscripted into the army before they could live in the cave house, and they died on the battlefield.
Although Aunt Liu was a little dissatisfied with this second son, after all, it was her own son, so she had to put all the faults on Mu Qingniang's head.
It's just that this cheap son Ah Shui is facing Mu Qingniang everywhere, and Aunt Liu's resentment towards Mu Qingniang is also transferred to Ah Shui by the way.
This also made Aunt Liu have some love for Liu Cai, after all, the eldest son's child has been carried by herself since childhood. The eldest son is the pillar of the family, which is different from the second son of the dead ghost.
Liu Cai is usually used to being arrogant, but when she was told by her grandmother this time, she also felt a little wronged.
"Can't you say it? I'm not a mourning star, my grandmother can't be angry and go to Uncle Wang and Mu Qingniang, what kind of anger is she at me. However, Liu Cai's muttering was very quiet, and Aunt Liu didn't know.
Time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and families were ready to cook.
Mu Qingniang has been busy with Lu Zi and Wang Liu today, a little tired, after Lu Zi left, she declined the invitation of Wang Liu's family, touched his black dog and prepared to go back.
Wang Liu's sister-in-law grabbed her a handful of loquat and bellflowers, and Mu Qingniang accepted it.
It happened that Liu He came out of the shed and ran into Mu Qingniang, and the two were a little embarrassed.
When Liu He was at home, his sister-in-law had a lot of complaints about Mu Qingniang, and sometimes even verbally insulted her.
Liu He was noncommittal about this, and he was usually not at home, so he left them alone and didn't say anything superfluous. Even in order to show filial piety, he tried his best to follow Aunt Liu's thoughts.
When he came back this time, his family's dissatisfaction with Mu Qingniang reached a new height.
first said that Mu Qingniang was inappropriate, seduced Jiang Dashan, and how disrespectful she was to her mother-in-law after climbing the high branches.
It was a verbal confrontation with everyone in the Liu family, and it was targeted everywhere, and because Mu Qingniang made both her and her younger brother have been withdrawn.
Although Liu He felt that it was an exaggeration, his younger brother Liu Qu still had some knowledge of Mu Qingniang's misintentions and being arrested.
It's ridiculous and sad to say, it's clear that his younger brother is not angry, so he wants to withdraw from his family, but he even has his own family affairs in the soup.
He had already said that it was the Guo family in the village, and he was going to welcome him into the door after the autumn, but the Guo family dragged on and on, and finally came to the door not long ago and returned the bride price.
This made Liu He difficult for a while, although he didn't hate Mu Qingniang very much, but his dismissal still affected his mood to some extent.
"I advise you not to walk with me, it's hard for people to see it, especially the old man in your family." Mu Qingniang was very tired at this time, and she didn't have any anger when she spoke.
Mu Qing ...... Second sister-in-law, where is this, I am also the one who wants to go home for dinner. Liu He explained, today's Mu Qingniang is also strange, she was fine just now, why did she change her face in an instant? Liu He still had some doubts in his heart.
Hmm, so the root of everything is still here in the Liu family.
Mu Qingniang didn't say anything, and hurried back before Liu He left Wang Liu's house.
After Liu He said hello to Wang Liujia, he also left home in a hurry. The two of them are also one after the other, not far away, but they have nothing to say all the way.
Liu He didn't leave in a hurry like Mu Qingniang, he arrived at home after Mu Qingniang returned to his home, and he just entered the house with one foot, just when the family was cooking.
Liu He did it, and Aunt Liu was a little unhappy on the side.
"Mother, what's wrong, is the hare meat unappetizing?" Liu He asked puzzled.
"Take it out, you've helped Wang Liujia so much in the past few days, why don't you say anything." Aunt Liu's expression was a little cold, and her tone was not very good.
"Hey, I didn't help much, besides, what else did you want to help in the past? What's this called? Liu He picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
"You guys eat it too, how delicious this meat is, Ah Cai, come to the third uncle to give you a piece."
Liu Cai took the meat and chewed it with satisfaction.
"I know how to eat every day, and you help them, and you don't want any benefits at all? When the little next door came back just now, he was holding a lot of things in his hands, so you did useless work in vain? Aunt Liu said that at this time, she was a little angry in her heart.
"Oh, Brother Wang has just started planting, there are a lot of herbs that look like, and I don't know how to pick them. Besides, I don't know much, most of them were taught by Mu Qingniang, how can I ask for other people's benefits. ”
Liu He's side was indifferent, which made Aunt Liu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Wang Liu's family, at the mercy of Mu Qingniang's cheap people, they also planted herbs? You have to collect medicine for the medical hall as a hunter, don't they cut off your financial route by doing this! You kid don't know why! ”
"How many herbs did Wang Liu's family grow, all of them were astragalus, sophora, atractylodes or something. There are more medicinal materials, and there are more than these kinds of people who can sell for money, so why are you in a hurry? For example, they can't grow dendrobium. ”
When Liu He heard that there was something about Mu Qingniang, he knew that something was wrong, so he shook his head helplessly, hoping that Aunt Liu would not say it again.
It's just that I didn't expect that Aunt Liu couldn't stand this son's heart, especially today, she didn't follow her own wishes, and she was about to have a seizure on the spot.
At this time, the youngest son, who is the most uplifting son in the family, is eating by himself, and it is completely a "nothing to do with himself" attitude.
"Okay, okay, you all help that little to speak, she poured ecstasy soup into all of you, didn't she? One by one, don't let me worry! Aunt Liu said angrily.
"Oh, it's a good thing that the Wang Liujia wants to make money, what's wrong with the help of our village? Mother, I'm very tired today, I haven't been back for so long, I just want to eat in peace. Liu He was a little helpless.
"In the final analysis, my mother is jealous of the good life of that little, and her son is a little angry about his ability to sell to make money." Wang Erya's divine mending knife at this time pushed everything to the top.
"I can't stop you when I eat!"
Syllable! With the sound of smashing the bowl, Liu Yang, the boss of the Liu family, finally couldn't help it and shouted.
"Can't you have a good meal at home at this late hour? My third brother and I are back, we have money and meat, what do you want? ”
The noisy Liu family, under Liu Yang's anger, quieted down again.
At this time, Mu Qingniang gave the loquat in her hand to Ah Shui and Ah Qian to eat, one of the two children went out early and returned late, and the other ran every day, and they both had some coughs.
Loquat and bellflower have the effect of moistening the lungs, eat at this time, it is just right, there are some noisy sounds from time to time next door, Mu Qingniang seems to not care at all, watching the two children eat so happily, she is also sweet in her heart.
"You two are really in a hurry, the loquat trees of the Wang Liu's family have just borne fruit, and as a result, you all get sick, it's like colluding."
The two children couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
