Chapter 193: Catkins

Liu Zhi'er was in a hurry, and her cousin slept for more than ten hours, and she opened her mouth to drive people away without knowing anything, but this was the nurse that Mrs. paid for, and Mrs. sent a message, so that all the people in the courtyard listened to the nurse's words. The nurse has only one responsibility, which is to take care of the little boy, and she doesn't have to take care of other things.

As soon as Liu Wu opened his mouth, he offended Li's mother a lot. Later, the lady came, and the cousin was afraid that she would not be able to do well.

Seeing that her cousin looked like she was about to cry, Liu Wu thought that there was something wrong with the child, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, is there something wrong with the child?" Bring the baby here. ”

Liu Zhi'er put down the food box in her hand, hugged the child and gave it to her cousin, and said, "You made Mother Li angry and left, and Mrs. came to see how you explained." Which of the girls and sons of this big family was raised by their own mothers, and they all invited a few nurses to take care of them. You! It's a big disaster, and it's us who suffer for you. ”

This cousin of hers is too unhearted, and everything is written on her face.

Liu Wu didn't care about this, and urged Liu Zhi'er, "Cousin, you go and bring my mother and fourth sister in." I was relieved to have them take care of my children. ”

"What's the hurry, you haven't eaten yet." Liu Zhi'er couldn't be pushed, so she had to get up from the edge of the bed, and her cousin, who had just given birth, was still as strong as ever.

"Go, go." If it was too late, she was afraid that Madame would let the fierce mother-in-law take care of her children again.

Not long after Liu Zhi'er left, Mrs. Li and her party came straight to the courtyard of Liu Wu.

"Madam, you're here, I'll wake up our aunt." Aunt Liu looked at the menacing lady and Mrs. Li next to her, and reminded the people inside loudly.

The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Wei scolded Aunt Liu who was blocking the middle of the road, "Mother-in-law who doesn't have long eyes, don't hurry up and get out of the way for Mrs. ”

Aunt Liu's reminder has been done, and the rest depends on the catkins' response.

Madame Wei entered the room, and Liu Wu was eating under the service of another cousin, while the child lay asleep beside her.

"Liu, it's good if you're awake. A few of you don't take the child away, so it won't be inconvenient for your aunt to eat and be confined. Mrs. Wei's order made the catkins not eat, and immediately protected the child in front of her from being touched.

"Madam, I can take care of the child myself. When my mother gave birth to my fourth sister and fifth brother, I took care of it properly. ”

"Nonsense, how can the little boy not have a nurse to take care of. When this was spread, I thought the Ma family was broken. Mother Li is the wet nurse who I and my master specially invited to take care of the little son, so don't let down my expectations and my master's expectations. When she gave birth to her son, the lord didn't care about the things around her son, just looked at it twice a day and finished it. When this Liu family gave birth to a child, he personally inquired about where there were good nurses.

"Madam, I am Xiaobao's mother......" Before Liu Fu's words were finished, she was interrupted by the mother-in-law beside Madame, and she said sharply: "Aunt Liu, Madame is the mother of the little son." It stands to reason that if the concubine has a child, she will be raised by the master's mother. But the lady took pity on the aunts' love for their children, so they let each hospital raise it by itself. My aunt should be grateful, how can I contradict my wife? ”

What is the truth of this, obviously Xiaobao was born by me, but you can't call me mother. Liu Wu has been in the house for a year, but he still doesn't understand the rules of big families.

Madame is the master of the backyard and takes care of their daily use. From the time she entered the house, all the food and clothing were good. Liu Wu still respects Mrs. very much, but her child really doesn't want to be taken care of by a nurse like Mother Li, and she is not at ease.

"I was wrong, it's my aunt." Liu Wu softened her attitude, but she didn't give in to the child: "Madam, Xiaobao is so young, he can't do without me." I have already called my mother to come over and be a nurse, and my mother is very good at taking care of children. ”

Mrs. Wei was a kind person, and when she said this, she knew that she was afraid that outsiders would not be able to take good care of the child, so she explained to her: "Mother Li was personally begged by the master for the little son, and I can't be the master of this matter, so I have to agree with the master." Before the master agreed, Li's mother was still the nurse of the little son. ”

Liu Fu hugged her child tightly, looked at the arrogant Mother Li who was standing beside Madame, and shook her head, "Madam, beg Madame to tell the master, Xiaobao, he is good to have my aunt and aunt here." ”

"You're so stubborn. All right! For the sake of you still sitting in confinement, I won't bother you, just tell the master. Mrs. Wei's attitude has changed dramatically, which makes Li's mother panic. She moved to the mountain of Mrs. in order to crush the biological mother of the little son.

"Madame, what about me?" What to do.

"Let's go, whether you go or stay, it's up to the lord to decide. In any case, the government will prepare a generous gift for you as an atonement. "Mama Li's real reputation is already rotten, and the old man thinks that he has invited a master back, but in fact, she is a dirty and rotten thing inside, and she has damaged the atmosphere of many people. It led to a quarrel between wives and concubines, and husbands and wives separated, and most of them broke up soon after she left.

I don't know why, in the past year, very few people have invited her, almost none. Mafu is the last straw for Li's mother to turn over, no matter what means she uses, she has to stay.

But she couldn't show too eagerness, which made people suspicious, so she had to change back to a haughty look, snort a few times and walk behind with the hostess of the Ma family.

Liu Wu's mother and several younger siblings all work on the Ma family's grange, they are tenants, and they eat and live on the farm. Liu Zhi'er left the house and crowded with others on an ox cart bound for Zhuangzi.

At the time of the handover of spring and summer, it is the busiest time for farm work, and it is necessary to harvest and plant seedlings, and the whole family of catkins is busy in the field.

Liu Zhi'er saw the uncle's family with a red face from the sun.

"Auntie, auntie."

Hearing some familiar voices, Liu Mu raised her head. Liu Zhi'er stood on the shore and shouted: "Liu Wu has given birth, and now there is no one to take the child, she called me to come and call you to go over and nurse the baby." ”

"No! There's so much work in the field that I can't leave. Hearing that her daughter was born, Liu's mother was happy for her daughter. But her daughter asked her to take care of the child, and she didn't have time. Not a lot of land, they don't have a good time in the long winter.

brainless, working as a wet nurse for the little boy of the horseman's family, just one month's food and clothing is enough for her to dig the ground for a year's harvest.

"That's the little boy of the horseman's family, a little bit or two peeking out of his fingernails a day, which is enough for your family to eat for half a month and a month, why don't you go?" Liu Zhi'er told her to be angry, when was it, and she was still thinking about her own one-third of an acre. "Auntie, the catkins are still waiting for you, you take the four girls and follow me quickly."

"When the child tells you to go, you go. I can do the rest of the work with a few children, and I will be tired at most. The silent Father Liu spoke.

Today's weather is good, Ma Yuanwai and a few Qingke scholars sat in the lake pavilion and talked, sipping wine, listening to small songs, comfortable and comfortable. Suddenly, the little servant came to report that there was something wrong in the backyard and asked him to go back and deal with it.

The horseman went out to confess to a few people and left, and went to Wei's courtyard with the messenger.

"Madam, what is there that you can't make up your mind and need to deal with for your husband?" As soon as he entered the door, the horseman asked.

His lady would not easily call him back to take care of the housework, and it was not a trivial matter to be able to call him back.

"It's the Liu family. Liu was born in a farm, is used to living in the countryside, and wants to take care of herself and her own mother after giving birth to a child, and feels at ease. I was very resistant to Mother Li taking care of the little boy and wanted to dismiss Mother Li. Because Mother Li was sent by the master to invite someone, I was not in charge, so I had to ask the master to come back to referee. "Mrs. Wei seems to be fair, and no one is partial. In fact, Liu Wu has been given eye medicine, saying that she is from a vulgar background and is not able to take care of the little son.

Hearing this, Ma Yuanwai was of course furious, "What kind of background is she, what qualifications does she have to take care of my little son, if it is not for the lack of energy of the lady, it is natural to take the child to the main courtyard to raise." Mrs. should be tougher, the Liu family should be beaten, don't think that if you give birth to the old man's youngest son, you will be treated as the queen mother, and everyone in the house has to listen to her. ”

This Houna's Liu family, seeing that there is no city government, why is he so thoughtful, and he doesn't even listen to his words.

"Outside, this is none of Madame's business. I was on the side and watched Aunt Liu in the house take the little boy as a threat, choking Mrs. She also said that she was the mother of the little boy and should ......"

"That's enough, Mother Li. Aunt Liu is still young and ignorant, so Mother Li should not say more. Wei Shi stopped Li's mother's words.

"Don't interrupt, let her finish." Her interruption made the horse crew want to listen to it, what else did Liu say.

Mother Li seized the opportunity and smeared Liu Fu and said: "It should be her to take care of the little son, and she wants to take care of her mother." Think about it, her mother is usually used to rough work, where can she take care of the delicate little boy. However, I just want to get some things in the house and use them at home. ”

When it comes to Liu's mother, Ma Yuanwai thinks of Liu's. A year ago, Liu's had nothing else to see except for a beautiful face, his hands were all calluses, and he raised them for a year, holding them in the palm of his hand or scraping his hands.

"Nonsense, nonsense." The horseman slammed his fist on the table, and the teacup on the table shook three times, spilling a little tea.

Seeing that the horseman was not angry, Li's mother looked uneasy. It's just a little aunt who wants to fight with her and be tender. Now he has offended her, and he will get it back from her son in the future.

"Master, don't be angry. It's also because of my poor teaching, Liu's young age, I can't bear to detain her too harshly, so I said these words. Wei gave him a good breath.

"It's all the child's mother, or what kind of child. If there are outsiders here today, I don't want to save face. The horseman slapped the table again and stood up, "I will go over to teach this Liu family who does not know how to be respectful now, and I still have the heart to replace Mrs., it seems that I was too good to her before, so that she can't find the north." ”

"Master, master, Liu has just finished giving birth, and it is the time when the confinement body is weak. When she was out of confinement, I called her over and let the master teach her a good lesson, but I really couldn't afford to see her now. In case she was frightened and fell ill, it would be a lifetime affair. Madame Wei followed behind and shouted urgently.

The horsemen boast that they are good people, and they can't do things that bully the weak, and even the land rent is much less than that of other families. Listening to his wife's words, Shengsheng stopped.

After the qi in his chest calmed down, he ordered: "Come on, go to the account room and send ten taels of silver to Li's mother's room." He turned around and bowed to Li's mother, "I'm tired of Li's mother living for a month, and after a month, let the little boy follow Li's mother to take pictures." Ten taels of silver, my mother took it to suppress the shock. ”

The male owner of the lord of the house bowed to her, and Mother Li's heart was even more proud. On his face, he said arrogantly: "It's polite, it's common for this biological mother to be reluctant to let others take care of her child, and all the small families I've seen are like this." ”

Hearing her say that the small family was home, Ma Yuanwai's face trembled quickly, and he just waved his hand and asked the next person to send Li's mother back to the room, out of sight and out of mind.

The catkins are calm here, and I don't know what storm is coming in January.

Liu Wu was very happy to see Liu's mother, and asked her about various family affairs.

Liu Mu just replied: "It's all good, it's all good." ”

"This is Ye'er, and she has grown a lot taller. Come closer and let the second sister take a look at you. Liu Wu said to the seven-year-old black girl beside Liu's mother.

The girl stepped forward timidly, bowing her head for scrutiny.

"Your sister Ye'er takes good care of your brother. Now he can run, he can walk. Mother Liu praised her little daughter for her ability.

"Mother, why don't you bring your little brother along. Anyway, my hospital is big, so it's not bad to have one more person. The old lady is kind and won't say anything. When Liu Wu left, the youngest brother was less than half a year old, and the responsibility of taking care of the children could only be handed over to Liu Ye'er, who was still young and couldn't do any heavy work.

"Hey, your brother is being taken care of by your sister-in-law at home. You also send eggs to the house every month, and feed your brother to be white and fat like the silkworm, and then bring it here to raise, I'm afraid it will not be good for you. "Having a daughter can live a good life, Mother Liu is already very pleased, and the conditions at home are much better than in the past, but she can't be too greedy and lose her blessings.

"What's this, Aunt Liu often raises her old lady by her side, and there are two nieces and three nephews who come over to play the autumn breeze from time to time, and the old lady doesn't say much, sometimes when she meets, she will be treated as a serious guest."

Liu Wu is such a person, if he has a good life, he wants his family to have a better life. And the aunt in the house took care of her mother's family, and she bumped into it more than a dozen times with her own eyes. On one occasion, those people did not come empty-handed, and when they went there with a full cart. I prefer my own mother, I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, and I don't dare to take anything more.

"How could they be the same. You were born in the Grange, what do you compare with others? Liu Zhi'er couldn't help but stop talking. Her cousin is too naΓ―ve, and other aunts' families are more or less people with status, how can she be compared to a rural village girl, she is better than being favored by the master when she is young.

Liu Zhi'er once thought that her cousin Liu Wu was young, and when she looked at her tender skin, she was included in the house at a glance. She's not bad, so why don't you look at her.

Ma Yuanwai was different from her, Liu Zhi'er had a beautiful face, which was particularly eye-catching in the group of people at that time, especially her pair of red phoenix eyes, when she looked at him, she was timid, like a frightened deer with ignorance. He thought that he was beautiful and beautiful, so his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately put people in the house.

In fact, the aunts in the house are wearing the popular heavy makeup, and after watching it for a long time, they are aesthetically fatigued, and occasionally there is a person who does not wear makeup and can look a little without coloring, which makes Ma Yuanwai happy.
