There are two daughters to accompany and comfort, Shan Cuihua's mood is much better, and Mai Yonghai brought good news when he came back, the eldest brother-in-law saw the wooden box and heard the origin of the things inside, and lifted Mai Xiaoyuan's grounding order on the spot, and said that when the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child in the first month, he would send her back to her parents' house for a few days!

"Oops! God forbid, God forbid, Xiaoyuan is finally fine. Shan Cuihua thought in pieces, clasped her hands together and kept thanking God.

I hope that my mother will be so happy in the future, Mai Xiaohuan prayed silently and ran to rearrange the house for her father. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to be over, the mood can become much more comfortable by changing into brighter curtains and bed curtains.

It's a pity that their good mood only lasted until the afternoon, and when Mai Yonghe came back in shabby clothes and a gray face, Mai Xiaofang innocently surrounded him and asked him where the new clothes he wore in the morning were.

"Wet...... I...... I can only change into Han Ting's clothes and come back. ”

"What's wet...... You have not yet married a daughter-in-law, so you have gone to work as a laborer. Mai Xiaofang asked unrelentingly.

She believes in this kind of deceptive nonsense, and the bunch of relatives in her family who have not taken advantage of it have not been sent away, and now there is another couple. Mai Xiaohuan pulled the second sister aside and asked Mai Yonghe coldly: "Did she agree to the conditions I proposed?" ”

"Hmm!" Mai Yonghe didn't answer his sister's words directly, his current idea is to drag it out, and wait for his sisters to return to Qingcheng County and then slowly discuss it with his father and mother.

The eldest brother either hit a wall or didn't dare to mention the conditions at all, did he think that if he didn't mention it, he could get by? These two people don't do what they say, and don't even think about getting married. Their sister and brother dare to calculate the Mai family now, after they leave, can their father's life be better? The eldest brother is now the same Chen Qiuniang in his eyes, if there is no restraint, the next time he comes back, the things and fields at home will probably have to be pulled away.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to make Shan Cuihua sad because of these trivial things, she turned out a piece of cyan clothing, and asked the second sister to find Yu Niniang to sew new clothes for the eldest brother, this time she couldn't say anything on the day of the New Year.

Mai Xiaofang was still thinking about the new clothes that her eldest brother wore last time, and whenever she saw her eldest brother going out, she chased him to get the clothes back.

"I can't come back, that dress has been occupied by Chen He Hanting's, only you stupidly believe the words of the eldest brother."

"How is that possible? The eldest brother and that person are not the same in stature and height, can he wear the clothes of the eldest brother? ”

That Chen Qiuniang can live alone with her younger brother for several years, and she must have the skills to make money. She doesn't set up a stall to sell things, and she doesn't work, so the most likely one is that she has good embroidery skills or can sew clothes, and the eldest brother's clothes only need to be modified and modified, and they will be the same as new when they are worn on others.

They are really shameless, Mai Xiaofang carefully recalled the address of the Chen family, and planned to let the second brother catch the carriage in the afternoon to find them to theorize.

"Save it! The eldest brother has now reached the point where he has gone mad if Chen Qiuniang does not marry, and he can go crazy believe it or not. What we have to do now is not to settle accounts with her, but to use the matter of marriage to completely separate them, and don't have anything to do with it. ”

"The second brother finally knows now, it's okay to offend anyone in our family, just don't offend Xiao Huan." Enough eavesdropping at the door, Mai Yonghai, who walked in with a smile, rubbed Mai Xiaohuan's hair fiercely, no wonder this girl is small and thin, it turns out that her heart and eyes are falling.

The relationship between the two and the second brother is much closer than that of the eldest brother, and taking the opportunity to chat, Mai Xiaohuan warned the second brother not to learn from the eldest brother, and his mother can no longer stand the toss.

Yes! witnessed the harm caused to his mother by his eldest brother's actions, even if he didn't have his sister's advice, Mai Yonghai didn't plan to learn from his eldest brother.

"Second brother, don't be in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law first, when I come back from the Lotus Courtyard, let's think about making money first, and when the family conditions are good, I guarantee that you can marry a daughter-in-law who is a hundred or a thousand times better than Chen Qiuniang."

"Okay, when you come back, the second brother will give you a hand, as long as you cook two good dishes for me every day, and give me some pocket money every month, I will follow you." Mai Yonghai said half-truthfully, he knew that his sister had a bright brain, and he believed that she would definitely have a way to earn more silver if she grew up, now? It's good to have sweet potatoes, rabbits, and wild peppers at home.

Knowing that his family didn't fully believe his words, Mai Xiaohuan didn't explain much, everything had to wait for him to regain his freedom, make noodles and fans, and let everyone see the results.

If she wants to leave the Lotus Courtyard, she can only wait for Zhou Yue to leave, and according to her analysis, Zhou Yue will not be able to live in the Lotus Courtyard for long. If his illness never occurs again, and if his preparations are done, it should not be far from the day when he returns to Beijing.

In the next few days, Mai Xiaohuan and her second sister cleaned the room, dismantled and washed the bedding, and cooked New Year's food. After dinner, I boiled supplements for Shan Cuihua, and I had to watch her drink it with my own eyes.

When the Chinese New Year was still one day away, Mai Yonghe found his sister and asked her for clothes, white rice, and even mentioned tonics.

"Big brother, didn't you say that Chen Qiuniang and her brother need something, and you will go out to earn it yourself? Why are you worried about the things at home again, you treat them as treasures, we are not. Mai Xiaofang stood at the door of herself and her sister, she never thought of giving things to those two people.

"Qiu Niang is your sister-in-law, how can she be an outsider! You have something to give to Yu Ni and Zhao Di, why don't you give it to your sister-in-law. Qiu Niang's younger brother spends his brain on studying, can't he get him some supplements? It's not that you don't have nothing. ”

"Although you said that you were married, she was not my sister-in-law until she agreed to my two conditions. My second sister and I are in front of the county lord, and the status of the maid is not much different, you say, how many supplements do people give me, if you don't make my mother work hard, my mother can take tonic under the roots of the New Year?

I should give you two pieces of cloth, or you won't be naked when you come out of their house next time! But there is nothing else, not only today, but also in the future. ”

It is better to have two pieces of cloth than nothing, and Mai Yonghe went straight to the county seat with the clothes.

"Taking advantage of the days when we are at home, we have made everything that can be eaten, and the fabrics are cut into clothes, so that others will not be worried." Mai Xiaofang rummaged through the fabrics and planned to find someone to help her father and second brother make clothes.

There's no way to go on like this! Mai Xiaohuan sat there in a daze again, that Chen Qiuniang had too much influence on the eldest brother, how could she change the current situation? The family background in front of me is still a trivial matter, and when I am ready to build a factory to engage in production or want to develop other projects in the future, I am afraid that I will be idle.

When I went back, I asked my father-in-law to see if I could separate myself from the family, and then borrow the name of the county guard and the Tang family to do things. Originally, I had a good plan, leading the whole family to work for two years, and marrying a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law to my two brothers, but I didn't expect the plan to change quickly, and I was disturbed by Chen Qiuniang, who suddenly appeared.

"Tomorrow is the New Year, let's all be happy, don't think about these unhappy things anymore." Mai Xiaohuan held the mother with her left hand and the second sister with her right hand, and in order to distract them, she discussed the menu of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the two people.

Mai Yonghe came back from the county seat and told Shan Cuihua that Chen Qiuniang would come to visit the door on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and discuss the matter of marriage by the way.

"Let's go to the restaurant in the county to discuss! In this way, she doesn't have to go back and forth, let's also go around the county. According to Mai Xiaohuan's guess, even if there was no quarrel that day, the atmosphere would not be too harmonious, if it was quarreled at home, wouldn't it be a joke for the neighbors? If the eldest lady knows about it again, it will be even more lively.

"You ...... Didn't you go back to Qingcheng County on the sixth day of junior high school? Mai Yonghe thought that by the sixth day of the new year, his two younger sisters would have already left! Yesterday at Chen Qiu's mother's house, he just asked tentatively, and was taught a lesson by Chen Hanting when he wanted to be separated from the family. Chen Hanting even said that if it weren't for the sake of their family's foundation, they would not agree to his sister marrying him.

They can't even accept this condition, let alone their sister's harsh requirements, Qiu Niang's younger brother will definitely not agree. Mai Yonghe scratched his head in annoyance, he didn't expect to go through so many tribulations in his own family affairs.

According to his and Chen Qiuniang's assumptions, after the two of them get married, one will accompany his younger brother to study in the county, and the other will farm and raise rabbits at home. Daddy and sisters, why did they react so much! It seems that Qiu Niang is a bad woman, and it is difficult for Qiu Niang to help them say good things and excuse them every time.

Mai Xiaohuan looked at the eldest brother with a smile on his face, and his eyes were cold: "The eldest brother's family affairs are uncertain, how can we go back with confidence!" When everything is settled, we will go back. ”

"If I think of the New Year's month and then discuss getting married, you can wait until that time to make it happen."

Mai Xiaohuan smiled and nodded, even if she waited, Chen Qiuniang couldn't afford to wait! She is seventeen years old after the New Year, and if she doesn't get married, the official media will come to the door, and someone like her who has no money to bribe a matchmaker and has a bad reputation for her father and mother can marry someone.

Besides, the deposit has been paid for the house in the county, and if the time drags on for a long time, people can find another customer, and the eldest brother should be more anxious than himself.

Mai Yonghe, who was thinking about another day just now, saw that his sister was not in a hurry or panic, and he was completely deflated. He didn't dare to resemble the scene when his two sisters faced Chen Qiuniang and her younger brother, this ...... What if there is a quarrel and we can't get along?

Looking at Mai Yonghe, who was full of worries, Mai Xiaofang snorted coldly, she had long thought that she would meet the sister and brother, and she dared to provoke her mother to be so angry and angry for so long, how could she easily let them go!
