When Shan Cuihua saw the jade bracelets, gold bracelets, gold earrings, jade pendants and silver nudes placed on her bed, the boss with his mouth open did not close it for a long time, and finally found his voice after stammering for a while, and asked tremblingly: "Where did this come from?" ”

Mai Xiaofang pointed to the things on the bed, introduced the origin to Shan Cuihua one by one, and finally pushed the things over, and said very generously: "I discussed with Xiaohuan, these things are sold to the eldest brother and the second brother to keep for the daughter-in-law!" ”

That's not possible, just like the jade bracelet that Qu Hao's mother gave to the little girl, she couldn't sell it for her to take to her mother-in-law's house. And the jade pendant was given to the two children by the old lady of the Tang family, how could she ask for it!

Mai Xiaofang picked up the gold earrings and compared them to her mother's ear, trying to help her take them and avoid them. Shan Cuihua didn't dare to bring gold earrings, if her mother-in-law and sister-in-law saw it, it would be okay, and she wouldn't be able to finish it if she didn't make a fuss and take things away. Shan Cuihua plans to keep the jade bracelet for Mai Xiaohuan as a dowry, the earrings and jade pendant for Mai Xiaofang, the gold bracelet for a daughter-in-law, and the silver nude will be kept, which may come in handy in the future.

After last night's theft, Shan Cuihua decided to rearrange the house, at least find a hidden place to put away the precious jade bracelet and jade pendant. She also had great strength, so she moved the bed out of position, found a shovel and pickaxe to dig the earth, and worked hard.

Mai Xiaofang wanted to help carry the soil out, but Shan Cuihua told her not to get in the way, what to do, just remember not to bring outsiders to this room.

"Got it." Mother wants to hide the baby, she needs to keep it secret, she understands this, Mai Xiaofang went back to the house and picked up the silk flowers she bought for her friends, and jumped out of the house, she not only wanted to give her friends something, but also wanted to share with them what she had seen and heard, and if she didn't find someone to say, she was afraid that she would be suffocated.

Mai Xiaohuan cleaned up the house, held a book, sat under the window to read, and practiced calligraphy with her right hand on the table. She has never learned calligraphy, although Qu Hao sent a lot of pen and ink, Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to waste it at this time, when she found her senses, she practiced in the sandy land, wouldn't it be better to use pen and ink again?

After reading the book for more than an hour, Mai Xiaohuan's eyes were a little glazed, her fingers were wooden, she looked up at the sun, the second sister was really good enough to talk, and she didn't go home at noon.

I don't see my mother go out, and it is estimated that it has not been completed yet! It seems that the lunch can only be wrapped by itself, and the people who make the fire and cut vegetables are all gone.

The men of the family went up to the mountains to hunt, and at noon they brought bread and would not come back to eat. Mai Xiaohuan cut less than half a cabbage and stir-fried it with meat, mixed cold vegetables with dried wild vegetables and radish skin, and stewed sorghum rice. She cleaned up and was about to take off her apron and find someone to come over for dinner, but Mai Xiaofang went into the courtyard humming a little song.

Is this man of a dog's? The nose is smart enough, and by the way, there's another one in the house! I patronized reading and cooking, and almost forgot about my mother.

The sisters knocked on the door, heard the sound of moving things in the room and walked in, Shan Cuihua was touching the sweat on her face with her sleeves, and when she saw the two girls, she happily pointed to the bottom of the bed and told them that everything was hidden, a total of seven layers were wrapped and then packed in a wooden box, and they would never be lost again.

If someone wants to steal, it's useless to pack a hundred layers; No one cares, and it's okay to put it on the table. Of course, my home is in a special situation, and I really can't feel at ease if I don't put good things away.

The father and son who went up the mountain came back in the evening, and the three of them were empty-handed, this is a phenomenon that has never been seen before, is there any danger? Shan Cuihua hurriedly checked them carefully one by one, and was relieved to see that they were safe and sound.

"If you don't hit your prey, you don't hit it! It's time to clean up and start eating. Shan Cuihua turned around to get the dishes and chopsticks, and Mai Xiaohuan saw the second brother's aggrieved expression and knew that things were by no means as simple as they seemed.

"We beat a roe deer, three rabbits, and one snow-white, snow-white!" Mai Yonghe is usually as dull as his father, but today he seems to be really angry, and he said a lot in one breath.

"What about that thing?" Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaofang asked in unison.

"The grandmother is going, saying that the aunt and the second aunt are going back to the door tomorrow, and the uncle's family has nothing to entertain the guests who come back, and we just took the things to the emergency today." Mai Yonghai rolled his eyes at the sky, the roe deer and the rabbit were snatched by grandma, it's not good for a big man to fight with an old lady! I don't know where she heard the rumors from the old man, and I know that my grandfather went up the mountain today, and he deliberately waited on the way home, didn't he just block it!

Shan Cui patted her chest angrily, and couldn't say a word, even if the two aunts and grandmothers returned to the door with a roe deer enough, why should they take the prey away, this is to take it back to the old family, the third family and two aunts and grandmothers have divided, and the mother-in-law is like this every time, scraping her own things to fill in the other children.

If they can receive a favor and thank themselves and admit it, who will let the brothers and sisters have the best conditions in their own family! Shan Cuihua has also seen through it for so many years, her mother-in-law is at her sister-in-law's house, so she turns a blind eye to what she does, as long as it does not harm the interests of his old man, she should not see it. The third daughter-in-law is not treated well like herself, but she is well married! It is the old lady's heart and soul who is in charge, and she has been rescued by her two brothers for so many years.

The eldest sister Mai Qiaoyue was also a flower in the village back then, and when she married Cui Youliang, the son of Cui Damin's family, the head of the village next door, she envied the girls in Shili Eight Village, but unfortunately her life was not good, and her father-in-law was gone within two years of passing the door. Their family suddenly changed from the families of cadres to ordinary people. Cui Youliang didn't support the bottle of bright oil when it was poured, he could sit and never stand, and there were six children at home to support, so you can imagine what it was like to live that day.

The sister-in-law Mai Qiaoyun married Liang Xingcai, a merchant, and the money she earned over the years was saved to open a grocery store in their village, and there was only one son Liang Dabao who was weaker than Xiao Huan. However, Liang Xingcai has been tossing a lot in the past few years, today he is involved with the little widow, and tomorrow he will go to the county to drink flower wine, and he has to take medicine for his son's body, and the living standard of the family is limited to being hungry.

The mother-in-law wanted to help the two daughters, but she didn't want to take things out by herself, and slowly these people's eyes were on their own homes, and they all felt that they should take care of them, take money and things, and take it for granted to eat and drink.

But what can I do! There is no one in the family from top to bottom who is favored, not to mention, the most bullied are in their own homes, so Shan Cuihua feels aggrieved, and she would rather secretly give something to her neighbors who have a good relationship than send it to those people.

"My grandmother also said that she would let her mother and Xiaohuan help cook." Mak added.

"No, no." took the things, and wanted to let himself work hard, thinking about the beauty, Shan Cuihua bit the mixed noodles steamed bun hard, poked the two rice, and if she didn't go, she wouldn't help, not only did she not go, but she didn't allow the two daughters to go.

Mai Wang looked at his daughter-in-law guiltily, he knew that his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were angry at the Mai family, and he also knew what his mother's idea was, so what could he do! No matter how bad she is, she is also her own mother, and it is not easy to pull a few brothers and sisters alone, just a few prey, and she will go up the mountain again tomorrow.

"Yonghe, Yonghai, you go to your uncle's house tomorrow to eat hard, you can't work in vain for a day and get nothing. Xiao Fang and Xiao Huan and I will stew big bones at home tomorrow and eat them, hum! Without a roe deer, our mothers still eat meat. ”

After saying the angry words, she didn't forget to pick up vegetables for her two sons, glared at her husband and felt sorry for him after running outside for a day, and also added vegetables to him, but the dishes and chopsticks jingled.

The next day, in order to avoid Wu's arrest of laborers, Shan Cuihua took Mai Xiaofang to herd cattle and sheep, and Mai Xiaohuan herself asked to be locked at home to read a book, and she was recalling the steps of making sweet potato vermicelli and vermicelli, as well as the molds that would be used.

In the middle of the afternoon, Mai Xiaohuan, who was lying on the table and was about to fall asleep, heard a voice outside the hospital, at first she thought it was her mother and second sister who were back, but after listening carefully, only a few little girls were chattering, and she couldn't hear the voice of her family at all.

"Do you think that Xiao Huan's dead girl really recognized a rich young master as a godbrother? How can I not believe it? You see that she doesn't have a few taels of flesh all over her body, and she can't get up for a long time after pushing it, people will take a fancy to her! ”

"None of our sisters are better looking than her, why can't we meet a young master from a rich family! Tell me that it was all made up by my second uncle's family, and I didn't believe it if they killed me. ”

"But didn't she go to Qingcheng County a while ago? It took more than ten days to come back, is that also a lie? ”

"Mother also asked us to come and wait for their sisters, why, let's go to the river and go back to eat, there is roe deer meat today!" Fools are waiting for people here! ”

As the voice became smaller and smaller, Mai Xiaohuan also judged that it was estimated that it was a few cousins of the eldest aunt's family, hey! No wonder my mother was so angry when she heard that the prey she hunted entertained them, eating her own house, and her mouth was so dark, these few were no better than her cousin.

When it was almost noon, Mai Xiaohuan climbed the window and went out to unlock it, and really stewed big bones, and the two women who went out to herd cattle also came back from the back of the village. Tie up the cattle and sheep, the mother eats white rice, gnaws on the meat and bones, not to mention how comfortable, this is much better than looking at people's faces, and being idle.

In the past, Mai Qiaoyue and Mai Qiaoyun didn't live much in their parents' house, and Mai Liu's family couldn't look down on their sons-in-law, Wu's was distressed to eat and drink, and it was already good to eat and drink and entertain a meal.

Shan Cuihua also thought that there was nothing wrong, so she asked the two daughters to go back to the house to take a nap, and she also kicked off her shoes and lay on the bed to take a nap. The courtyard door was pushed open, and she thought that her grandfather didn't take it seriously, until Wu's sharp voice sounded, and she realized that the troublemaker had come to the door again.

The two sisters were also awakened, sat on the bed in a daze, and rushed to the kitchen together, and there was already a mess in front of them.
