After this quarrel, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became completely cold, at first they saw it as if they didn't see it, and completely used each other as air, and then they scolded Sang Huai in front of others, venting the anger in their hearts. He Tu doesn't care at all, you can't see me, I just do my own thing, and it doesn't affect me anything, as for her scolding Huai, she shouldn't hear it, and not giving a little response, which is the biggest revenge for her. Originally, this kind of day was quite good, at least he felt quiet, and he would not be called to do all kinds of work, but he didn't expect Mu Shi to become more intense later, which made He Tu start to feel flustered and at a loss, as if he had something in the palm of her hand, and he couldn't help but soften himself.

It was the third day after the fight, and he was sitting on the bed in his room, counting the few coins he had left. After taking out all his savings to pay off Cheng Jiahua's debts, although he still left some money with the mentality of leaving a way back for himself, no matter how he counted it, he couldn't withstand this month's days. He Tu was worried, frowned, and thought worriedly. It seems that I can only count on receiving living expenses from my mother-in-law next month, and I have to live on this money before that, and I have to save and save, and I can't buy some unnecessary things anymore. Having made up his mind, Hetu put the money away, picked up a pile of dirty clothes on the sofa, and prepared to wash them.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she heard Cheng Jiaye standing on the second floor calling her. He Tu stuffed the clothes in his arms into the basin, looked up and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"My eldest brother called you!" Cheng Jiaye shouted, and after speaking, he took the book in his hand and went downstairs slowly, and went out of the door.

He Tu rolled up his sleeves in confusion, turned around and walked towards the small building. In the past few days when Cheng Jiahua was injured, he lived in the same room with Cheng Jiaye, and Mu Shimei was "afraid that he would hurt him". He Tu didn't think much of it, she slept alone than two people. Walking slowly up the stairs, soon the door appeared in front of him, and he poked his head and shouted, "What are you telling me to do?" ”

"You come in!" Cheng Jiahua's slightly weak voice sounded in the room, muffled, and seemed to carry a hint of anger.

He Tu pursed her lips dissatisfied, her attitude and mood towards Cheng Jiahua now are the same as those towards Mu Shi, they are extremely unwelcome. Hearing him speak to herself in such a tone, she almost turned away, but when she thought about it, maybe he couldn't get up in pain, or maybe he fell on the ground and accidentally fell on his head, so he needed her help? Thinking of this, Hedi's heart became much more comfortable, and he squinted his eyes and walked towards the house.

It was the first time she had entered this room since she got married. The room was very dark, because the windows were covered by tall branches, and it was difficult for the light to get in, and the lights were not turned on, and the eyes were not very accustomed to the light in the room at first glance. He Tu sniffed, and the air in the room was dull and stagnant, making her gasp for a moment. Cheng Jiahua was lying on the bed, and when he saw her come in, he tried to turn his head to look at her, and made an angry expression on his face.

"What?" He stopped at the door and asked coldly.

"I don't know." Cheng Jiahua twisted his body with difficulty to allow himself to see Hedi's face more clearly, "You saved money behind my back." ”

"yes." Hearing him ask this question, Hedi couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why didn't you tell me?" Cheng Jiahua looked more and more angry, "I always thought that my family had no money!" Every time I ask you, you say it's all spent, and you don't have any money! ”

"I'm telling you, did you want to gamble with this money?" He Tu took two steps forward to him, squinting at his injured legs, "Is it difficult, you still want to be beaten by your father to become disabled?" ”

"Why are you so ruthless?" Cheng Jiahua struggled to prop up half of his body, "What good will it do you to cripple me?" ”

"It's very good, at least, there will be no debt collectors at home, so I am a weak woman to face it." After saying that, Hetu glared at him fiercely, turned around and walked out.

After staying in it for a while, Hedi felt that her body was full of old exhaust gases, and as soon as she came out, the sober air immediately surrounded her whole body, and she took several deep breaths, feeling that her body and mind were more relaxed and light than ever, and her mood couldn't help but become better. She pondered as she walked, since Cheng Jiahua knew that he would save money, he repeatedly picked excuses to ask for money every time, if he hadn't lied and said that he had spent it, he really didn't know if he could save that money, and now he was still ashamed to question himself, He Tu really didn't know that his skin was so thick. But it's okay, it's completely useless to dwell on this problem now, the money is gone, and it's just a waste of saliva to say it. Now that everyone is a two-headed light, can you say who is better than whom? He sneered, thinking indifferently.

She hummed a little song downstairs, about to go to the kitchen to get hot water, and when she passed by her parents-in-law's room, she heard a rustling sound coming from inside, and then there was a plop, as if someone had fallen to the ground. He Tu was shocked, thinking that Cheng Yan was being taken care of in her in-laws' room, it wouldn't be Xiao Yan who was fallen. She hurriedly turned around, lifted the curtain and stepped in, but what she could see was not Xiao Yan who fell to the ground, but Mu Shi. I saw that her coat was halfway through, and she was struggling with one hand on the ground, as if she had fallen on her leg.

"Mom, are you alright?" He called out in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. Mu Shi raised his head and glared at her, waved his hand, and said coldly: "No! And he supported himself and got up from the ground. She buttoned up her coat, straightened her hair again, looked at Hetu with displeasure, and said sharply, "Who let you in!" ”

"I thought Xiao Yan had fallen, so I came in and took a look." He Tu held back a smile and gloated in her heart, if she laughed on the spot, I wonder if the mother-in-law who troubled her all day would feel embarrassed.

Mu Shi frowned and said, "It's okay, you go out, I feel annoyed when I see you!" ”

He bowed his head in response, turned and walked outside. She was about to laugh when she suddenly heard Mu Shi stop herself behind her, "Wait! ”

"Huh?" He turned to stand again, looking at her in bewilderment.

"Next month, you can buy the rice and noodles in your kitchen, I have also discussed with your father about the living expenses, after all, you have already started a family, and you should learn to support your own family, so-" Mu Shi raised his head and looked at He Tu proudly, "You should also discuss how to save more money and live a good life." ”

He Tu was stunned, originally when she paid off her debts a few days ago, she felt that the wall that protected her safety had been broken, and the hope of living well in the remaining days was all on the rice and noodles and living expenses that her in-laws pointed out to them every month, and now, they said that if they didn't give it, they wouldn't give it, but they didn't prepare at all, plus Cheng Jiahua was injured, and he couldn't go out to work immediately, where did he get the money to buy rice and noodles, let alone save it. Hetu became anxious at this time, she put away the mentality that she originally watched the excitement, and said hurriedly: "Mom, Jia Hua is injured and can't go out to work, I, where did I get the money to buy a family, plus the money I saved a few days ago to help him pay off his debts, I really don't have a penny on me now, or this matter will be said when Jia Hua's injury is healed, is it okay?" ”

"Aren't you looking forward to him being killed?" Mu Shi squinted at her, "Are you in a hurry now?" In your eyes, our family is just sending money and rice and noodles, right? ”

"I didn't say that." He Tu lowered his head, but the two fists hanging at his side clenched tightly.

"I know you're very bold, and now even I dare to scold, aren't you very powerful? You're so powerful, I don't think this amount of money can be difficult for you, you can earn it no matter what, right? Mu Shi said, reached out and hugged Cheng Yan next to him, teasing her with a rattle in his hand.

He Tu glanced up at her, then looked at Cheng Yan who was having fun in her arms, and said: "Xiao Yan is so small, you can't have less clothes and food, you can't delay Xiao Yan because you are angry with me, right?" ”

"Xiao Yan, you don't have to worry about it, I will take care of her. You're worried about yourself right now. Mu Shi said, in a stern tone, as if there was no room for a turnaround, "This matter has been discussed, so don't talk about it anymore." ”

"Mom!" He hurriedly shouted, but Mu Shi had already turned his face away from her. He Tu pursed his lips tightly, thinking of his father-in-law, maybe this is just a momentary vindictiveness of his mother-in-law, not true, the financial power of the family has always been in the hands of his father-in-law, it is better to ask him. Thinking like this, she quickly turned around and walked out, when she passed by the kitchen, she thought about it, went first to open the rice noodle jar, and looked at how much food was left, seeing that this bit of food could only be eaten for half a month, the jar bottomed out, and her heart became heavier and heavier. She closed the cylinder cover, lifted the curtain and walked out, walked into the moon cave door quickly, and looked for her father-in-law in the orchard, but she didn't expect to find it for a long time. She was disheartened, and she had already begun to plan what work she was going to do outside, so that she could at least make a little money and maintain her current life. She felt that the burden on her shoulders suddenly became heavy, and when she dragged her steps out of the moon cave door, she happened to see her father-in-law standing by the railing by the flower garden to wash her hands, she hesitated slightly, then stepped forward, and asked hesitantly: "Dad, Mom said that next month's living expenses will not be given to us, right?" ”

"Huh?" Cheng Tielong couldn't help but look at her in surprise when he heard He Tu ask himself like this, but the movements in his hands didn't stop, "When did she say that?" ”

"I just said that." He Tu lowered his head, the expression on his face was a little aggrieved.

"This old woman, where can she be in charge of the family's money." Cheng Tielong sneered and said, "However, after all, you and Jia Hua have been married for so long, and they still have to be separated." Before that, the money every month will not be less than you, Jia Hua is still injured, and he can't go out to work, so he can't let your mother and son starve. ”

She answered, looked at her father-in-law gratefully, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen. It seems that the mother-in-law is really just scaring herself, how can the father-in-law be so ruthless, saying that if you don't give it, you won't give it? No matter what, Jia Hua is also his own son, or the boss, how can he not take care of it? Her heart settled down, and she was finally able to do things well. She took out a kettle full of hot water from the kitchen and walked in the direction of the laundry tub, and when she was halfway there, Mu Shi came out with Cheng Yan in her arms. She stood by the threshold and looked at He Tu coldly, her eyes full of disgust and ridicule.

At the end of January, the sky finally fluttered with snowflakes, and after only one night's work, the yard was full of snow, accompanied by the cold north wind, and after going out, people couldn't open their eyes. He Tu carried the charcoal basin to the charcoal room to pick up charcoal, and after a while, his face was red from the cold, and his fingers could not be stretched. She bent over and shrunk her shoulders, shivering in the cold wind of the human muscles and bones, and pushed open the door, breaking into the warmth of the room, and then felt a little more comfortable. Cheng Yan, who was playing on the bed, saw his mother coming in covered in wind and snow, clapped his little hands excitedly, and giggled.

"Look at the child, don't let her fall." He Tu turned around and closed the door, patted the snow on his body, and said to Cheng Jiahua, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Cheng Jiahua opened his eyes slightly, stretched out a hand to take Cheng Yan to his side, teased her twice, and closed his eyes again. He Tu picked up the stove and sat down on the sofa, her needlework was not finished yet, and before this winter passed, she had to finish it in a hurry, so that Cheng Yan could wear it on her body as soon as possible. Although Cheng Yan is still young now, her body has grown a lot, and she can't wear the clothes when she was a baby, so she took the old clothes that Cheng Jiahua didn't wear to change two new clothes for the child.

Just as he was looking down and busy, there was a sudden knock on the door. Cheng Jiahua snorted, turned his head to look at the door, and asked, "Who?" ”

Fang He's voice sounded outside, "Big brother, it's me, Kaji asked you to find him." ”

Cheng Jiahua turned over and sat up, hugged Cheng Yan to the depths of the bed, and then got out of bed, put on his shoes, put on his coat, and opened the door. A stream of cold air was swept in by the wind, Cheng Jiahua shuddered, couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly, and said, "Got it." ”

He went out, but Fang He came in with a probe in his head. She looked at Hedi, then turned around and closed the door, sat down beside Hetu with a smile, looked carefully at the work, and said, "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good." ”

"It's just about doing it." He Tu smiled, "It's not a good craft. ”

"Isn't that good?" Fang He pretended to be surprised and said, "I can't do it so well." ”

Hedi put down the clothes in his hand and looked up at her, "Why are you here?" ”

"Ugh." Fang He moved uneasily on the sofa and said, "I feel bored. ”

"What's the matter, it's not okay to have Kaki with you?"

"Sister-in-law, you're really joking." Fang He's face turned red, and quickly returned to his original color, "He stayed in the same room with me, but he always ignored me and tossed his own business, I want to find a chat to relieve my boredom, so I can only find your sister-in-law." ”

"Yes." He Tu smiled, "You're here, we still have a companion, and when I didn't have you before, I was so bored and came over every day." With that, she stood up, walked to the side of the bed and hugged Cheng Yan in her arms, pointed at Fanghe and said to Cheng Yan, "Xiao Yan, call Auntie, call Auntie." ”

Fang He came over with a smile, reached out and touched Cheng Yan's smooth little face, and said, "Ouch, this girl is really handsome." ”
