Chapter 15 The New Clothes Turmoil
Before dinner, with the help of Xiao Wang, the two sisters finally made their clothes and put them on their bodies.
"I didn't expect clothes made of cloth to look so good." Xiao Wang sighed and wiped away his tears again.
"It's still Xiao Xia's ideas, how do I think my clothes look better than my sister-in-law's!"
"It's definitely better than hers, you have to trust my eyes." This is a vision from the 21st century, where will it be worse.
"I can't even bear to wear it." Koharu touched his clothes, which were made of cotton cloth with cotton inside, which was comfortable and beautiful.
"Let's wear it again tomorrow!" Xiao Xia also touched his clothes, and he didn't have such joy even when he wore famous brands before.
Xiaoqiu was reluctant to take it off when she heard it.
"Xiaoqiu just wear it!" Xiao Xia looked at the little girl with a reluctant expression, a little funny.
"It's time to get dirty eating." Xiaoqiu said as she took it off.
Xiao Xia hurriedly helped her get dressed again. "I'll have to eat when I wear it in the future! Just be careful, and the cloth head, and I'll make two more for you then. ”
Xiao Xia felt that she had a new interest, that is, to dress up Xiaoqiu beautifully in the future, and the three sisters would be beautiful in the future.
At dinner, everyone saw Xiaoqiu's beautiful new clothes, which were made of muslin cloth and sandwiched with cotton. Xiao Qiu was paid such attention for the first time at home, and she began to feel cramped and uneasy, and kept leaning against Xiao Xia, who was sitting next to her.
Xiao Xia also thought that maybe he would be said two sentences, especially Mrs. Jia, but Xiao Xia was wrong, Mrs. Jia didn't say a word, but the Wang family was uncomfortable, the male baby of the Shen family hadn't worn so well, and a money-losing person dared to wear clothes made of muslin.
"Xiaoqiu's clothes must have cost a lot of money! I haven't seen the youngest baby in any family wearing new clothes all day long, and that one is not picking up old clothes from older brothers and sisters to wear. ”
"Auntie, Xiaoqiu is wearing new clothes for the first time, and besides, she wants to pick up her sister's clothes, but our clothes are already torn enough, and it is impossible for her to pick them up. The last time I went to the town, they treated us as beggars, and said that we and my sister-in-law are not a family, aren't we also cooperating with my sister-in-law? If people knew about our relationship with my sister-in-law, they would think that my sister-in-law was abusing us! ”
When Shen Hui heard this, she pulled it on herself again and glanced at Wang. "What does it matter to me what you wear?"
Wang thinks Xiao Xia is possessed by a ghost? Why are you so powerful! I couldn't tell her myself, and finally ate quietly.
At breakfast the next day, I saw that Xiaochun and Xiaoxia were also wearing new clothes, and she didn't say anything after learning the lesson of last night.
Shen Hui saw the clothes of the two, and suddenly her good mood today was not beautiful. The clothes of the two are ingenious, and the embroidery is also meticulous, which attracts people's attention at a glance. It seems that her clothes are very ordinary, obviously the princess of the Shen family should be her, the daughter of the Shen family should be the most beautiful, and the best should be hers, how can she bear it today compared to two girls who she looks down on.
"The second sister-in-law's family doesn't do any work, so she knows that she dresses up her daughters, and she dresses up one by one, and she thinks that our Shen family is a kiln?"
Xiao Xia knew that there would be people who were dissatisfied, so she didn't understand, they couldn't live like a person in the second room? If they don't have enough food and clothing, they are happy. And is this what an aunt should say?
The Shen family was stunned by what Shen Hui said, this was the words of an unmarried girl.
"Grandpa, what is the kiln for? Today we wore new clothes for the first time, and my sister-in-law said that our family was a kiln, and my sister-in-law always had new clothes to wear. Xiao Xia pretended to be innocent and asked, it depends on how the old man answers.
Old Man Shen reprimanded his baby girl last time, and then he regretted it a little, thinking that she was also angry and vented. But when she said such things today, he couldn't reprimand him again in front of the family. But Xiao Xia's question from one kiln at a time, how did he answer?
"Shut up and eat your meal." The old man could only reprimand Xiao Xia to shut up, as if he hadn't heard Shen Hui say that.
"I just want the kiln to be so profitable, so our family can open a kiln, anyway, my sister-in-law likes to wear new clothes." Xiao Xia muttered to the whole Shen family while picking up rice, Shen Hui is shameless herself, and she won't let me say it?
The whole family was scared of Xiao Xia's words, and their faces were red and their necks were thick, and Old Man Shen wanted to reprimand her, but he was afraid that she would say that it was said by her sister-in-law, so she could only pretend that she hadn't heard it, and the others also understood Xiao Xia's mouth, and they didn't want to open their mouths to find bad luck.
Shen Hui trembled with anger, but knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he didn't dare to speak again.
Mrs. Jia felt sorry for her daughter, and she looked at Xiao Xia more and more unpleasantly, but fortunately she was able to get her away today.
"Xiao Wang, you don't have to rush back today, you must pick the two strongest piglets."
"Got it, mother." Xiao Wang felt that the second daughter's heart trembled as soon as she opened her mouth, but fortunately, everyone didn't hear what she muttered just now, but she was scared to death.
When Shen Hui heard this, she finally remembered that she could get rid of the eyesore today, and her mood was finally clear after the rain, but now she felt that it was very unpleasant to look at Xiaochun, and it would be nice if she was sold.
Xiao Wang's early after breakfast and the villagers went to the next village to catch pigs, this is the first time that her mother-in-law reuses her, she is very happy, she feels that her hard days seem to have come to an end.
Shen Zhong is still busy every day, Shen This year, the old man ordered him to open another two acres of wasteland, and he began to work since the snow melted, going out early and returning late every day, and he didn't say a word when he was at home, Xiao Xia felt that the Shen family would call him as a robot!
Xiao Xia felt that today's sunshine was just right, so she decided to wash all the tattered clothes at home, she wanted to lose it, but as soon as she told her mother, she was reprimanded, if any family in the village lost something, it was a very shameful thing, indicating that the mother-in-law of that family would not live.
I had no choice but to wash them all and put them away. Xiao Xia sat by the well in the yard washing old clothes, Xiao Chun can already embroider purses, although not as good as her mother, but it also looks good, she is now very obsessed with embroidering purses, probably can exchange money, eat sweetness.
A carriage entered Shenjia Village and went straight to Shen Shouli's house, and Xiao Xia had been washing clothes in the yard and noticed it, but he didn't care at all.
The carriage stopped outside the courtyard, and the first to get off was Zhao, followed by a mother-in-law and a coachman.
As soon as Zhao entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Xia wearing new clothes and washing clothes, and his smile was kind.
"Grandma Liu, this is Xiao Xia, she must have known that you were here, and she specially wore a new dress today." Zhao introduced this to the old woman next to him with a flattering face.
Mrs. Liu looked at the little girl who was washing clothes in the yard, she was not very old, and she was very neat in her work. Dressed cleanly, although the skin is not good, but it is very marked when you look closely, because you have been sitting, you can't see that your legs and feet are bad.
Mrs. Liu nodded, even if the old man saw it, he would be satisfied. "Girl, come here."
Xiao Xia originally thought it was Zhao's mother's family, but listening to the conversation between the two, she knew that it was not. As soon as the mother-in-law entered the courtyard, she looked her up and down, could it be that Chongzi came by herself?
Xiao Xia didn't hear the mother-in-law's words, and continued to do the laundry.
Mrs. Liu is also a housekeeper in Landlord Li's house, and when she saw that a little girl dared to ignore herself, she asked Zhao who was standing on the side suspiciously. "Are you still deaf?"
"Of course not, Xiao Xia hasn't come to meet people yet." Zhao hurriedly denied it, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia skillfully dodged Zhao's outstretched hand and stood up. "Auntie is looking for me?"
Seeing that Xiao Xia finally spoke, Zhao wanted to step forward kindly, but Xiao Xia took a step back, and Mrs. Liu kept looking at Xiao Xia, of course noticing that she tiptoed her left foot when she stepped back. Nodding again, it seems that this Zhao family did not deceive the Li family, thinking that this little girl didn't know that she had been married.
Mrs. Liu doesn't care whether the family has discussed it or not, in short, the person has already seen it, and she is satisfied, just pay the dowry money and take the person away, Master Li is still waiting at home!
"This is twenty taels of dowry money, if you take it, I will take it away."
Mrs. Jia, who was hiding in the main house, didn't know if she was weak or afraid of Xiao Xia, so she didn't come out, and when she heard that she was going to receive the dowry, she hurriedly walked out.
"I'm Xiao Xia's grandmother, just give me the dowry money."
Xiao Xia finally understood what was going on, she felt uneasy in the last two days, it turned out that the Shen family was planning to sell herself, and she couldn't complain about how Mrs. Jia, who had been not letting Xiao Wang's family go out, changed her attitude today, it turned out that she was targeted!
"I disagree!" So saying, he went to his house.
"Xiao Xia, I'm also for your own good, this family affair is cheap for you, the other party is a big landlord with 100 acres of fertile land, and the youngest son of the married family is also dignified. Don't be stubborn. Zhao hurriedly stopped the person and persuaded him bitterly.
"The other party is a fool, right?" Xiao Xia sneered.
Zhao was stunned by Xiao Xia's question, the youngest son of Landlord Li's family is a fool Although many people know, how did Xiao Xia, who can't go out, know? Zhao asked what he thought. "How do you know?"
Xiao Xia sneered when she heard this, and looked at Zhao sharply. "Isn't it a fool to look at a cripple with a hundred acres of good land?"
Zhao was stared at by Xiao Xia and dodged his eyes, not daring to look directly.
Mrs. Liu, who was waiting on the side, was impatient, but she was in a hurry to go back to the errand. "Have you discussed it? Do you want this dowry? ”
"If you want to ......" Mrs. Jia kept staring at the big bag of silver, and quickly took it, and counted it in her hand.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Jia with disdain, a mother-in-law who saw the money and even sold her granddaughter when she saw it.
