Chapter 4: The Three-Room Dilemma

Li Rouer handed her the younger brother to her after returning home, when her mother came into the house to see the fourth sister, and she just hugged her for a while and urinated on her, so she hurriedly came to find Yang.

"Give it to me! Rou'er, you also change your clothes, hurry up to the kitchen to eat......" Yang took the child in the arms of his fifth daughter, and then told his daughter to change her clothes and hurry to the kitchen to eat.

Yang lowered his head, walked to the cubicle near the courtyard, quickly took out a baby dress from the cabinet, and changed it for his youngest son......

Li Rou'er's side, glanced at Li Guo'er, the fourth sister, and then looked at the Yang family, but she didn't change her clothes, and rushed out with her legs!

Li Guo'er knows what is going on, in the memory of the original owner, isn't this the case every time the Li family arrives at a meal? One by one, they rushed to eat, and eating was like a war......

Among the female dependents, except for Zhou and Li Fang'er, the others can't eat at the table in the main hall, they are all solved in the kitchen, and Zhou's has always picked the door, and he calculates very carefully, if he doesn't rush to eat, there will be no more, and he will have to go hungry when the time comes.

The Yang family forgot this because he was worried about Li Guoer, and because his youngest son was urinating at the moment.

Li Rouer rushed into the kitchen, in the kitchen, there was not much left of the mixed noodles steamed buns left by the Zhou family members, and the women in each room, from middle-aged women in their thirties to five or six-year-old female babies, were all grabbing food one by one......

The so-called mixed bread is made by mixing and fermenting a small amount of wheat flour, a large amount of cornmeal, and a part of soybean flour and sorghum flour.

This mixed noodle steamed bun is not often eaten, only when the farm is busy, in order to make people have the strength to work, most of the other time it is all kinds of gruel, wheat boiled into porridge, corn boiled porridge, sorghum boiled porridge.

In addition, rice porridge, millet porridge and the like can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays and when there are few times......

It's not that the Li family has no grain and can't afford to eat rice, but the Zhou family is very picky, and only a very small part of the rice harvested in the field every year is left, and the rest is sold for silver.

As long as anyone in the family does not agree with her to sell food, an unfilial hat will be buckled, and even her man, Li An, the head of the family, will not be able to please her.

Most of the money Zhou got from selling grain was pinched in her hands, and a small part was spent on her old sons and daughters and other children who were more popular with her.

As for the third room of the Li family where Li Guoer is located, except for the New Year, the family will get linen to make clothes all year round.

For the Zhou family, the linen cloth used to make clothes in each room throughout the year was also for the sake of decency, or for the sake of her old son's reputation......

Zhou's slamming the door, selling grain and calculating shrewdly, over time, Li An also turned a blind eye, as long as he didn't starve to death, he generally wouldn't say anything.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Rouer squeezed into the crowd, pulled out six or seven mixed noodles steamed buns from the basket, held them in her arms, and rushed out of the kitchen in one go, ignoring the shouts and scolding of others behind her.

Li Guo'er looked at Li Rou'er who was going and returning, and naturally saw the seven or eight mixed noodles steamed buns she was holding in her arms, and sighed in her heart......

She knew that the fifth sister had just been urinated on by her younger brother, and now she hadn't even changed her clothes, so she ran back with a few mixed steamed buns, and the mixed steamed buns were afraid that they had been stained with unclean things.

But what could she say? If you don't, you'll have to go hungry, and if you're hungry, you'll have to go to the fields in the afternoon to harvest early rice......

The shouting and scolding in the courtyard outside rose by several decibels, and then three more figures rushed in from outside, the older one was eight years old, and the younger one was only two years old!

The eight-year-old is the seventh sister Li Duoer, who also holds four or five mixed noodles steamed buns in her arms, followed by the five-year-old eighth sister Zi'er and the two-year-old ninth sister Qing'er.

Qing'er is only two years old, sloppy, looking like a child about one year old, holding a small mixed bread in her hand, led by five-year-old Zi'er.

The Yang family naturally found out, but she had nothing to say, otherwise, when she changed her youngest son's clothes, this mixed noodle steamed bun would have no part of her for a long time, not only her, but also the fourth daughter who had an injured hand......

The daughters are also filial piety when they do this, that's it!

If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for being born in the Li family, obviously everyone can eat enough and eat some good food, but they don't give them enough, and they can't see good things all year round, and the family has worked hard for a year, and it all goes into the pocket of the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law is a picker.

They are breathless under the pressure of filial piety, when will such a day be a head, I just hope that one day, the family can be divided like other families in the village!

It's just easier said than done......

The Li family is not divided, all the money is in the hands of the Zhou family, when the farm is slack, the men in each room will also go to work for people, and they have to hand over the money in full, that is, the daughters-in-law have nothing to do some embroidery work in exchange for a few pennies, and they have to hand over a large part of it.

The only thing that does not need to be handed over is that the unmarried girls in the family do not need to hand over the money they get from embroidery, but they are born in a peasant family, and they have to work in the fields one by one, and their hands are so thick that they can exchange for a few dollars for the embroidery work they do......

The dowry of the daughters-in-law does not need to be handed over, but the dowry is not handed over, and it is not used, only the one that is used out, and it is not paid, and it will be used up one day!

The Yang family married into the Li family back then, and in the countryside, the dowry was also rich, a full thirty taels, but after so many years, the eldest daughter and the second daughter got married, why didn't she give some silver at the bottom of the box when she was a mother.

And the third son Li Hao is in poor health, and the dowry has long been used up over the years.

In the past few years, if it weren't for the eldest daughter and the second daughter from time to time, I am afraid that I would not have been able to live for a long time, and the eldest daughter and the second daughter were married out after all, and the husband's family was not a rich and noble family......

Like the Yang family, there are also daughters-in-law in other rooms of the Li family, especially the daughters-in-law in the second room of the Li family.

The Dafang Wang family and the Erfang Chen family, both of them are grandmothers, and there are several grandchildren, but they scolded Zhou in front of him a little inconveniently.

Although the old saying goes, a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, but people have a good face, and they can't hold their heads up when they are scolded by their mother-in-law in front of their children and grandchildren, how can they stand up in front of their daughter-in-law in the future?

Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, but they can only endure it, their father-in-law does not agree to split the family, what can they do, they can only provoke a sentence or two in front of their husbands every once in a while, and the words reveal that they want to separate the family.
