Chapter 45: The Clouds Clear
Pan Mingqiu watched it for a long time, and when he saw that Mai Liu's family was still unrelenting, he was also very angry, and he wanted to ruin his future, what else could he be polite to her!
"Xiao Huanniang, don't go, the rest of the Mai family will not have my consent from now on and will never enter the courtyard of Mai Wang's house again, or beat their things. The married aunts and grandmothers have finished their meals and go home! Xiao Huan's family only needs to hand over the pension money and food to the Mai Liu family in accordance with the regulations in the future, and whoever makes trouble again will move out of Shaxi Village, and Xiao Huan will come to me to sue whoever I want, and I will drive him away. ”
This is a good idea, Mai Xiaohuan hid behind Shan Cuihua and smiled secretly.
Except for Mai Wang's family, the others are a little stupid, isn't the village chief obviously partial to Mai Xiaohuan's girl? Don't say that Mai Liu's is unwilling, even a few little girls are unwilling! Beautiful clothes, soft materials and silk flowers, which little girl doesn't want.
Seeing off the reluctant, slacker-faced old Mai Liu's family, Pan Mingqiu comforted Mai Xiaohuan softly, and left satisfied after Mai Xiaohuan promised that he would never go to Qu Hao or the county order to complain.
Shan Cuihua went back to the house and took out her luggage, turned around and walked into her daughter's house.
This is going to be a separation!
Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly went over and persuaded: "Mother, my head doesn't hurt now." Dad is still injured, go back and take care of him! ”
I was so angry that I forgot about my husband's injuries, this is all out, and it is shameless to move back again! Besides, his anger has not disappeared, and he doesn't want to go back to serve him, his own mother left without saying a word, and everyone else is willing to do it, so what is he reluctant to do.
Shan Cuihua said angrily: "Let Yonghe and Yonghai move into his house to take care of it, who cares about Xiaohuan when I go back, what if I have a fever in the middle of the night?" ”
"Yes, yes, you just take care of Xiao Huan, my body is fine! No one to accompany you. Mai Wan also agrees with his daughter-in-law's statement, his skin is rough and thick, and the old lady is not too serious to beat a few times, and he doesn't need to be taken care of at all.
The mother cleaned up the house, and Mai Xiaofang exclaimed that she had lost a silver nude, but she even crawled under the bed and didn't find it.
"Maybe it was taken away by someone, even if our family is unlucky, you two also have a heart, and don't put valuable things on the surface in the future."
How dare there be a next time! The sisters found a cage and put all the valuable things away, and together they carried them to the shelf in the corner, so that they would not attract rats or be easily discovered by outsiders.
Dinner was made by Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaofang, sorghum rice and kimchi, and two boiled eggs were left for Mai Xiaohuan's illness alone.
"The family lost the silver, and our family will eat this meal from now until the New Year. It's okay for your old Mai family to have some petty theft, and now someone actually comes to my daughter's house in broad daylight to steal silver naked, which is really shameless.
Originally, I thought that during the Chinese New Year, I would make a new gown for each of those girls with a piece of material. When this happens, there's nothing left, and I can't give my belongings to thieves. ”
The four children ate silently, they knew that their mother was holding back a fire in their hearts, and if they didn't vent it, they wouldn't be angry. In addition to nodding his head, Mai Wan was silent, let him say anything, his niece and niece beat his own daughter, and he took advantage of the chaos to steal things, he couldn't open his mouth to defend it!
In this way, Shan Cuihua lived in Mai Xiaohuan's house and lived on a couch. Mai Yonghai lived in his father's house, so that he could bring water and light a lamp to the injured Mai Wan at night.
Three days later, Mai Xiaofang and Mai Xiaohuan carried Shan Cuihua back to her quilt. McWan scratched his head and smirked at the two children.
"My mother is really angry this time, you can coax yourself! But I said ugly things in front, if someone bullies Xiao Huan, if you don't care, our mother will really leave and never come back. Mai Xiaofang said while tidying up the house that she also had a stomach full of words and wanted to find someone to talk about, and if her father's heart kept favoring her grandmother, she would be sad.
"No, not really." In the past few days, I have also figured it out, no one can do without these six people in the family, if there is no mother and sister-in-law involved, my family will have a good life, the daughter-in-law is capable, the children are obedient, and the more they go, the more they will run.
It's the things in the hands of the mother and sister-in-law who are always worried about the two daughters, and those can be sent to them if they are from their own family, but the people Qu Gongzi and Young Master Tang both said that they were given to Xiaofang and Xiaohuan, and they and their daughter-in-law never thought of occupying them, but the relatives at home were all eyeing them.
If the relationship is good, Xiaofang and Xiaohuan are not stingy people, how can they not give it to cousins and cousins at all? Six or seven co-authored bullies, if they were themselves, would not be willing to give things to such people.
"That's what you said, if you are eccentric, let them sew clothes and cook for you." Mai Xiaofang pouted.
"Hey, hey! Daddy doesn't go. Mai Wan scratched his head and smirked again, no one is as intimate as his daughter, he knows how to protect himself, and he knows how to let himself have eggs, and others are far behind.
Shan Cuihua saw that the luggage was missing at night, and wanted to pick it up again, she was ruthless and didn't pay attention to her husband anymore, she didn't care about her mother's life or death, why should she care about him.
The two sisters pushed her to their own house together, and Mai Xiaohuan did not forget to persuade: "The New Year is more than a month away, whose family is still awkward for the New Year, do you want us to have a happy New Year, or keep making trouble!" ”
The New Year is coming soon, Shan Cuihua was stunned and was pushed into her room by the two children, Mai Xiaofang also thoughtfully helped close the door, lying on the door and listening for a long time, but she didn't hear any corners.
In the following days, as soon as he woke up in the morning, he looked for work everywhere, and when he finished his family's work, he went to the mountains to hunt, cut wicker and come back to weave baskets, and took his son to the river to catch fish.
Finally, after working day and night for five days, Shan Cuihua scolded him at the breakfast table on the sixth day: "You think you are a young man!" I can stand working day and night, don't think that I won't be angry like this, and next time, I'll leave with my daughter, see what you do? ”
This is the first time my daughter-in-law has spoken to herself in more than ten days! Mai Wan grinned happily and just stared at Shan Cuihua and smiled, taking the reprimand as a compliment.
Mai Xiaofang's mouth was fast, and she couldn't help asking: "Mother, what do you mean!" Is my dad doing this job right, and he won't be able to do it in the future! ”
Can you not do it? The daughter-in-law has talked to herself, and the two may be able to reconcile in a few more days.
"What are you doing, if you move to the firewood room, I can't see it and I'm not bothered."
"Then I won't do it, no, I mean it's so late at night." Mai Wang and his son have already made a lot of baskets, and Mai Xiaohuan also drew the shape of square baskets and small baskets for them, waiting for the next market to go out to sell money and buy New Year's goods!
Shan Cuihua looked at her husband's stupid appearance, and muttered angrily: "Why did I follow such a fool as you." ”
A turmoil has finally passed, and the dark clouds that pressed on the heads of Mai Xiaohuan's family have also dispersed. The family is preparing for the market, and Mai Xiaohuan wants to find a blacksmith and ask if he can create a mold for pressing vermicelli, and make a small one to come back and experiment first.
Because she wanted to buy something, Shan Cuihua had to go, Mai Xiaofang wanted to help sell the basket, but she didn't want to stay at home, and finally Shan Cuihua promised two catties of sauce meat in exchange for Mai Yonghai to stay at home.
Early in the morning of the market, Mai Wan caught more than 20 rabbits, and he knew that the little girl had many ideas, so he didn't need to be told by others, and packed ten white rabbits alone.
Mai Xiaohuan wanted to say that the method of selling things would be successful once it was used, but it would not work if it was used in a long way, but I didn't expect that the family would think that it would be a good idea! How can this be good?
"Well, say it in advance! I can't guarantee that I will sell for the last price today. ”
Shan Cuihua thought about it and said: "Just sell it for twice the price, and if you sell it more, you can give your sisters' pocket money." ”
"Okay" Mai Xiaofang rubbed her hands and cheered, even if one sells for four hundred wen, ten will still have one or two pieces of silver left! She patted her sister on the shoulder, it's all up to you.
Mai Xiaohuan bared her teeth at the second sister, she suddenly remembered what she promised Hao Youlan, and told her family that she planned to sell one to Hao Youlan this time and give her another one. Hearing that Hao Youlan was the niece of the owner of the Fuyun Building, Mai Wang hurriedly agreed, if people were willing to accept it, not to mention two rabbits, even five rabbits would have to be sent.
When the shopkeeper of Fuyun Building saw that the Mai family had come to deliver rabbits again, he poured a cup of tea for each of them very enthusiastically, not white water, nor tea foam.
Before negotiating the deal, Mai Xiaohuan grabbed two white rabbits and put them in a small basket and handed them to the shopkeeper, asking him to transfer them to the owner on his behalf, and then send them to Hao Youlan.
"One of the rabbits here is a New Year's gift I gave her, and Miss Hao only needs to give money to one."
Shan Cuihua pinched Mai Xiaohuan's waist in the back, what kind of money does this kid want! Just give it to the young lady, and the shopkeeper will be happy, maybe he will be able to accept all the rabbits he brought today!
Hao Youlan cares about these copper plates, and besides, she said it last time, so she can't change her mind just because she wants to sell rabbits!
"Don't worry about this, our aunt's young lady has an explanation, a rabbit is a tael of silver, it must not be less, you don't have to give it, take these two taels of silver!" The shopkeeper asked the account room to bring two taels of silver, and Mai Xiaohuan didn't refuse, took it and put it in his arms, and the small basket was given to the rabbit as a temporary nest.
"Miss Hao also explained that the rabbit sent by your family costs one layer more than usual, and there are as many as you want."
This is really great news, weighed in, twenty-five rabbits bought a total of four taels of silver! Shan Cuihua happily held the silver and laughed endlessly.
Mother! You won't be calm, will you faint with excitement when we have a lot of silver in the future!
