Chapter 119: Mother and Daughter Talk Homely
"You girl, you have such a powerful mouth, who will dare to marry you in the future!" Old Eighteen rolled his eyelids and turned his head to look away.
"Old sister-in-law, this is five hundred and fifty wen, this is ten wen, you order." The eldest lady spread the two pieces of money on the table.
"What's wrong with Ding's family, the family is solid, the in-laws are young, and there is only one child in the family, who is handsome. Don't listen to Du May's words, they have had some festive things before, and their words will inevitably be biased. The old eighteen's cloudy eyes rolled and said unwillingly.
"Old sister-in-law, I don't like to hear you when you say that. There's nothing wrong with plums here. Look at my family, my father and I are all wastes, all pointing to the big girl inside and out, if she marries to the village, our family will have no way to live. The big girl said with a lower face.
"According to what you say, your eldest girl still has to recruit a son-in-law!" The old eighteen glanced at the eldest girl and said mockingly.
"It's not impossible!" Du Mei saw that the eldest girl's face was pale and pale, and she interjected coldly.
"In the case of her family, don't talk about recruiting a son-in-law, pay attention to it, don't dare to marry, look at the cumbersome house, that is, Ding's old love, you still don't appreciate it!" The old eighteen snorted with disdain.
"Please go back, we can't afford her affection." The eldest girl has been lying on the bed, although he is disabled, but he is still the male host, he has spoken, and there is no room for mediation.
"It's really an elm pimple, I don't know what to do!" The eighteenth man muttered, put Shiwen in his pocket, picked up his purse, and left with a handkerchief.
"I don't know if I can do this?" Seeing that the old eighteen was gone, the eldest girl sat on the stool and sighed.
"Mother." The eldest girl buried her head in her mother's arms, and hot tears flowed down.
"Silly girl, what are you crying about, thank you Sister Meizi, thanks to her help." The eldest girl touched the eldest girl's hair lovingly.
"Sister Meizi, thank you, I will definitely follow you in the future!" The eldest girl raised her head and said seriously.
"As long as we are willing to work hard, life will always get better day by day." was thanked by others, and Du Mei was a little uncomfortable.
Du Mei went home and boiled tomorrow's food. Du Gui had already taken a nap, and Du Tao led the cow to the river beach to put it. At home, as long as Xu and Du Mei's mother and son do needlework in the house.
Du Mei told the matter in detail, which caused Xu to sigh, thinking of Ding's coercion of her family before, she was obviously more sympathetic to what happened to the eldest girl.
"The eldest girl wants to learn embroidery, Ming'er, you have finished your work, let her come." Xu was embroidering bamboo leaves and pine needles in the Three Friends of the New Year, and she took out various green silk threads to compare them on the background color.
"There is no hurry to learn embroidery, there will be time in the future, although my aunt has given the money out, I expect that Ding's is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Ming'er doesn't know how to make trouble, and look at it." Du Mei lowered her head and sewed the big girl's clothes, and said in a muffled voice.
"Hey, how can there be such an unreasonable person as Ding in the world!" Xu shook his head and said.
"Mother, just the grandma, aunt and third aunt in our family, which one is good to get along with?" Du Mei looked up at her mother and said with a smile.
"You can't say that, they're always elders." Xu said angrily.
"Then they have to show some appearance as elders, look at what they do, and we juniors can't look down on them in vain." Du Mei remembered that before the separation, they changed their ways to bully the second room, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Du Xing is gone, I heard from your Aunt Fang that your third uncle is sick." Xu finally selected the four greens of green, green, green and onion, and she arranged the silk threads in order.
"The third uncle is a scholar and has a good heart, but he has soft ears, and he doesn't care about family affairs, he is all at the mercy of the third aunt." Du Mei's eyes are quick, she talks to her mother, and the flying needles in her hands do not stop for half a moment.
"I also heard that the girl that Hao Po told Du Xuan didn't succeed, and people thought that his family was contaminated with that brute, and his reputation was not good, so he felt shameless, so he rushed to work outside." Although the Xu family sits at home every day, the Fang family often comes to embroider with her, and it is inevitable to talk about the shortcomings of the parents in the village.
"This is the retribution that the eldest aunt deserves! I think that at the beginning, if I hadn't accidentally discovered that hairpin, our family would have been miserable by her! Du Mei said through gritted teeth.
"There is not much work in the field now, your aunt is chattering at home every day, and your uncle is angry and takes Du Zhu and Du Zhu to the dock in Qinghe County to work as a coolie. If your father is in the ......" Xu choked in his throat, he couldn't go on.
"Mother, my father is watching us from the sky, and he will be happy if we have a good life." Du Mei was silent for a long time, and then said quietly.
"Hmm." Xu's nasal voice was very muffled, and he answered.
"How's Grandpa doing? Last time the patriarch said that his cough was not getting better? Du Mei led her mother to something else.
"Hey, I've been at home for a long time, and I've heard him coughing from time to time across two courtyard walls. Probably because of his old age, and he smokes all year round, I am afraid that he has hurt his lungs. Xu's mood eased and said a little worriedly.
"No wonder." Du Mei whispered. She bought an ox cart, she was not afraid, she was afraid that the Wei family would be messing around, it seemed that Du Shicheng's illness had caught her, and she had no time or energy to come out and make trouble.
The mother and daughter were talking and doing their work at the same time, and before they knew it, the sky was dark. The cows and ducks returned home. The family eats around, the lights are dim, although it is coarse tea and light rice, it is happy.
Early the next morning, Huang Daya appeared at the gate of Du Mei's house on time, waiting to go to the town with them.
"Big girl, come in!" Du Gui pulled her mysteriously.
"What's wrong? Don't sell vegetables today? The eldest girl was a little puzzled, and it was time to set off when she looked at the hour.
"Big girl, the new clothes I made for you." Du Mei stayed up for half the night, made a skirt for the eldest girl, and she also specially embroidered crape myrtle flowers on the cuffs of the placket.
"Done so quickly? It's so beautiful. The big girl's eyes were shining, this surprise came too suddenly.
"Let's go to the back room and try it on." Du Gui, who was in a hurry, pushed her.
After a cup of tea, the eldest girl came out in new clothes, she had never worn such good and new clothes, and she didn't know how to put her hands and feet in a restrained way.
"It's just right, this color also lines the skin." Du Mei looked at the different big girl in front of her, if this girl grows in the future, she will be a beautiful and lovely girl.
"Sister, everything has been moved." Du Ying came in and saw the big girl in new clothes, and was stunned for a moment. Then he said with a smile: "No wonder it is said that people want to wear Buddha clothes and gold clothes, and I almost can't recognize you when you wear it." ”
"Sakurako, don't make fun of me." The big girl said shyly.
"Let's go, the people from Meiji Restaurant, how can they be bad." Du Mei also made a joke.
"Wait for me to replace." The eldest girl was anxious to go into the back room and take off her clothes.
"That's what I wear
Right, don't you like it? "Dumela stopped her.
"I like it, but I'm a little reluctant to wear it." The big girl stroked the crape myrtle on the cuffs and said.
"Wear it if you like." Du Mei said with a smile.
The eldest girl was very happy this morning, and she worked hard. But this joy didn't last long, at noon, as soon as their ox cart entered the village, they were stopped by Xiao Hai, who was running around and playing, and told them that the Ding family was making a big fuss at the Huang family!
Du Mei hurriedly sent the ox cart home, without even drinking saliva, and hurried to her house with the eldest girl.
"With such a little money, it's called Hanako." In the distance, Ding's voice could already be heard.
"Xiaohai, you go and help my aunt invite the patriarch to the eldest aunt's house." Dumela said as he ran past the little boy beside him.
"Okay." Xiaohai bounced away.
"Will the patriarch mind our business?" The eldest girl felt that her family was a foreigner, and the head of the Du family was not very careful.
"The master is not only the patriarch, but also Lizheng, don't worry, he will take care of it." Du Mei reassured.
"If you don't have a penny, don't want to send me away!" Although Ding is a small woman, she is arrogant.
"A penny? I'm afraid you have the courage to want it, and you won't be able to spend your life! Du Mei stepped in and said coldly.
Ding was forcing the eldest girl to comply, but unexpectedly, a retorting voice sounded behind her, and when she turned around, her face changed instantly.
"Why are you stinky girl everywhere, it's so unlucky!" Ding spat on the ground in disgust.
"It's because you don't know how to be interested, and you come to Dujiagou at every turn to find bad luck!" Du Mei glared at her.
"I don't understand, as the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. You have a grudge against me in your previous life, when you asked to marry you, you were unhappy in every way, and now, you are pleading others not to marry into my family, what kind of heart do you have! "Ding's preemptive strike and the first attack.
Before Du Mei came, the Huang family had already surrounded a lot of people to watch the excitement. Hearing what Ding said, they all looked at Du Mei in unison.
"You are used to taking advantage of people's danger, you couldn't bully me at the beginning, and now you have to bully my junior sister, I can let you succeed like this!" Dume raised his voice. At the beginning, the people of Dujiagou also knew a little about it.
"Senior sister, your name is quite affectionate, who doesn't know, the Huang family's sugar man skills are passed on to men but not women, and the eldest girl has not learned, so it is cheap for you?" Ding didn't believe it, she thought it was a hoax.
"I should really thank you for this time and that time, if it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have had a chance to learn." Du Mei scoffed.
What do you say!" When Ding heard this, his lungs were about to explode. What she had been planning for a long time turned out to be to make a wedding dress for someone else.
"What's strange, my master just figured it out." Du Mei looked at Ding's angry appearance, and his heart was happy.
"Look at the clanging of the poor in this family, I am not happy to climb this poor family, dragging us down in vain, only this hanging money and half a penny are not less!" Seeing that the plan to occupy the Huang family's craftsmanship had failed, the Ding family retreated to the next best thing.
"Fifty Wen, it's already a very high profit, don't you have a royal law when you are in the Dashun Dynasty?" Du Mei sneered.
"What is the king's law and not the king's law, it is natural to repay debts!" Ding's eyes rolled up, revealing more whites of his eyes, which was very scary.
"I think you really should go to the county government to lead thirty killing sticks, sober up!" A deep male voice came. 2k reading web
