Chapter 107: There's no need to explain to her
I don't know what Mai Yonghe said to Chen Qiuniang when he went home, the two of them came over after breakfast the next day. Chen Qiuniang greeted Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua in an orderly manner, and Mai Xiaohuan pulled the unhappy second sister over to greet her new sister-in-law.
"Xiao Huan! You weren't at home when I married your eldest brother, and my sister-in-law didn't give this meeting gift, but today my sister-in-law came to see you and gave you a meeting gift by the way. After that, Chen Qiuniang took two purses and a few handkerchiefs from Mai Yonghe's hand, which were embroidered with flowers and plants, and looked quite exquisite.
This material, if you're not mistaken, was sent by the county guard's office! Sister-in-law's hand borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and had a good time!
Mai Xiaofang glanced at the things in Chen Qiuniang's hand, and took out a handkerchief with more exquisite embroidery and more exquisite materials from her arms. She also deliberately twisted* to let Chen Qiuniang see her purse, which was rewarded by the county lord, the goods of the capital!
Mai Xiaofang's actions made the scene fall into an embarrassment, her second sister! Mai Xiaohuan glared at her and accepted Chen Qiuniang's meeting gift. It is said that she doesn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention that she has now married into the Mai family, and it is too stiff to make a fuss, and no one's face looks good.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, my second sister and I don't have anything good to give, I'm sorry!"
Staring at the bracelet with a faint pink halo on Mai Xiaohuan's wrist and the pearl-encrusted earrings on her ears for a long time, Chen Qiuniang retracted her gaze with difficulty and told Mai Xiaohuan that they were all a family, so you don't have to be polite.
Thinking of the purpose of today's visit, Chen Qiuniang said with a gentle and virtuous face: "My younger brother is spoiled, he doesn't know anything except reading, he doesn't care about grandma and the carriage, he also knows that he is wrong, and he will never make such a mistake again." ”
The sister-in-law was afraid that she would publicize the bad things that Chen Hanting had done, so she came over to admit her mistake on behalf of her younger brother! Mai Xiaohuan estimated that Chen Hanting might not know that the two of them came to apologize today, and he himself would never regret it.
But what he thinks has nothing to do with him, what Mai Xiaohuan wants is for Chen Hanting to settle down from now on, don't make trouble for his father and mother, and don't take himself too seriously. He wants to be the uncle of the Chen family, and he has no opinion, but he definitely can't do it here in the Mai family.
"Sister-in-law, as long as your brother doesn't cause trouble for his father and mother and the Mai family in the future, and don't throw the mess to us after getting into trouble, I promise that I won't go to the county order and the school to find him unlucky. Even if you offer him in the courtyard of your own house, you have no problem treating us as an elder, but it is absolutely not okay in the Mai family. My father and mother are no longer young people, others are not distressed, but our three brothers and sisters are still distressed!
It just so happens that you are here today, and my second sister and I are also going to see grandma, let's go together! The sister-in-law tried to make her grandmother angry, and the matter was over. ”
I have to go see the old lady! Chen Qiuniang looked at Mai Yonghe pitifully, her eyes full of tears. Mai Xiaofang rolled his eyes, Mai Yonghe was distressed and at a loss, Mai Xiaohuan believed that if there were not many people here, he would be embarrassed, and he would have reached out to help his daughter-in-law wipe her tears.
"Qiu Niang...... Qiu Niang doesn't have to go to the uncle's house! "Grandma was angry last time, if my daughter-in-law went, it would be strange if she could have her good fruit to eat. Mai Yonghe, who knows Mai Liu very well, protects his daughter-in-law and stammers to intercede for her.
"With ......" Mai Xiaofang was stopped by her sister as soon as she said a word, Mai Xiaohuan said in her heart, I don't want to go with you yet! Originally, it was possible to be scolded today, if you go with your sister-in-law, it is not that you can be scolded by being scolded, just grandma's temper, it is strange that she can spare her sister-in-law.
Mai Xiaohuan told Mai Yonghe and Chen Qiuniang that they would accompany them if they wanted to go, and if they didn't want to go, they would leave first. She asked the second sister to go back to the house and bring a leaflet she wrote last night and send it to Chen Qiuniang: "Go back and show this to your brother, and ask him to give some valuable advice." ”
Mai Xiaohuan believes that with Chen Qiuniang's cleverness, she will definitely come back after knowing the content of the letter.
Sending Chen Qiuniang away, Mai Xiaohuan persuaded her father and mother who wanted to accompany her to her uncle's house, she was destined not to hear good words or see a good face when she came to the door today, so why let her father and mother suffer this grievance! Shan Cuihua hated not to be able to replace the two children, she was used to being counted by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, but the children, who had to suffer this wronged anger in vain, blamed themselves for being a mother who had no ability and couldn't protect their children.
Mai Xiaohuan, who was polished by Zhou Yue into a King Kong indestructible body, didn't take seeing Mai Liu as a thing at all, and went out with two packs of snacks and two packs of brown sugar. My sister doesn't care, Mai Xiaofang is even more afraid, she can't wait for the aunt to make a fuss! Wouldn't it be better if we could take advantage of today's opportunity to get my mother's grievances back?
Mai Xing took his son to the field, and Wu hid at home with his two daughters in the name of taking care of his mother-in-law. The two sisters-in-law took turns to come back and live in the old lady's house to accompany them, but they really didn't have to do anything with their mother and daughter. It's just that the things that are eaten are all covered by the sisters-in-law, anyway, there are rice noodles and that amount of money sent by the second family, and they don't eat their own, and the Wu family doesn't bother to care. Sister Mai Qiaoyue has not eaten any oil and water in her mother-in-law's house for several years, and she also took the opportunity to take care of Mai Liu's family to live and eat and drink.
They all had a good plan, waiting for the old lady to finish the things in the house, and then go to Mai Wang's house to ask for it. Because she was angry with their relatives, the old lady suffered a great sin, this pot ...... Bah...... They must take on this responsibility.
When the two sisters entered the yard of the uncle's house, they happened to meet Mai Xiaohui, who was feeding the chickens. Mai Xiaohui is far less powerful than her mother and sister, and she has long been afraid of her when she is cleaned up by Mai Xiaofang, if the Wu family or Mai Xiaoling is by her side, it would be good if she was alone......
With a "bang", the pot for feeding the chickens fell to the ground, Mai Xiaohui took a few steps back, and ran to the side house where she lived.
What's wrong? Mai Xiaofang blinked at her sister with big innocent eyes, wanting her to explain.
"I guess I'm scared by you." Mai Xiaohuan just wants to hurry through her grandmother's pass, and then go home quickly, she doesn't want to meet the mother and daughter at all, it's better for Mai Xiaohui to hide back, it would be better if the eldest mother and Mai Xiaoling were not at home.
It's a pity that Mai Xiaohuan's luck today is really not good, and before she saw her grandmother, she bumped into her sister-in-law Mai Qiaoyun first. Since she repelled the "pro", this sister-in-law disliked her very much when she saw her, and if she left her sick and crooked cousin, no one would be willing to marry her again. Seeing what she meant, it seemed that she was waiting for her mother to take the initiative to apologize, and then she reluctantly agreed to let her son marry her for the sake of everyone's relatives. If she wasn't grateful to Dade, she couldn't have nodded easily.
"Humph! What are you doing when you don't come back with the county lord and son in Qingcheng County? It won't be said by your aunt that the family will be brought back! I'll just say it! A grass chicken is a grass chicken, and it will not become a phoenix no matter what time it gets. ”
We're not phoenixes, your precious son is, okay! Mai Xiaohuan called out to her sister-in-law and bypassed her into the back room. At this time, Mai Liu's heard the sound and also went to the ground, the eldest daughter said yesterday that these two dead girls were back, and only at this time did they come to see their grandmother, and they really didn't have any filial piety.
"Milk, my second sister and I came to see you, how is your leg now, why don't we go into the county seat and find a doctor to check it!" With the doctor's diagnosis, I have a bottom in my heart, and I can prevent these people from continuing to find fault.
"My old bones can live for a few years, and I won't be able to die for a while, you are not ashamed, I still want to be faced! The money your mother gave you earlier is almost the same, and it just so happens that you are back, so take a few more taels of silver. "I also figured out later that the money for the second family to buy a new house for their grandson was all paid by these two children, they are really rich! More than 100 taels, I haven't seen so much silver in most of my life!
Mai Liushi stared at Mai Xiaohuan and waited for her to reply, Mai Xiaohuan smiled obediently: "My second sister and I have taken the monthly silver to buy a house for the eldest brother, isn't it time to receive the monthly money this year?" Where did the silver come from? ”
"You can afford to buy a house with your monthly money alone! Who to fool! What kind of young man Qu and Young Master Tang don't take good care of the two of you? Reach out and ask for it! "Not to mention that with Xiao Fang's appearance, any man will be willing to take out the silver when he sees it, Xiao Huan? There is no ass and no meat, so it's okay to look at the small face, but at a glance, you know that it's not a blessing. What rich family would want to marry a daughter-in-law who is as thin as ribs!
"My stepfather and stepmother have now left Qingcheng County and returned to the capital, the Tang family has a big business to do, and they are no longer in Qingcheng County, we really have no place to borrow silver. If my grandmother feels comfortable, let's catch the carriage to the county, I will go to Dou's house to borrow money for my grandmother to see a doctor, if my grandmother is already well, my second sister and I will go back, and we should go back to Qingcheng County to pack up our things. ”
"Oops! We thought you two had climbed some high branches! It's only been a few days! The son is gone, and the young master is gone, tsk, pitiful. Wu and Mai Xiaoling walked in with a spring breeze on their faces, and finally they waited for a chance to take revenge, how could it be so easy for the two country girls to climb the young master of a rich family, every time Wu entered the county seat, he would take Mai Xiaoling to the south of the city where the rich people lived.
The two sisters are far worse than their daughters in the eyes of the Wu family, why do they have a son and a young master to take care of food and clothing, the Wu family has a thousand, and ten thousand are not convinced.
I still haven't dodged it! Mai Xiaohuan doesn't want to waste her tongue to explain this, especially when facing the eldest mother, who doesn't know that she is a famous long-tongued woman in the village, and she can especially reverse black and white, chasing the wind and shadows, if the affairs of Brother Qu and her father-in-law are known to her, I don't know what it will become!
