Chapter 238: Sisters
In October, the Lin family organized a full moon wine for the eldest granddaughter, and Wen Wan sent her mother-in-law to Shuozhou to pick up the Feng family, but only Feng's father came, and the others only said that they were busy at home and couldn't take a break.
But after the mother-in-law who picked up the person came back, she told Wen Wan that Feng's mother accidentally said something in front of her: she said that she was giving birth to a girl and couldn't raise her head.
Wen Wan changed her mind after hearing this, and instructed her mother-in-law to change the regular full moon banquet the day after tomorrow to a ten-day flowing water banquet.
I personally went to the East Courtyard to discuss with my mother-in-law about registering my eldest granddaughter and adding a family tree. said that it was a discussion, but it was just a matter of informing the second elder and going through the motions.
But she didn't want Mrs. Lin to be interested in this matter, and knew that Wen Wan was going to hold a running water banquet for her great-granddaughter, and persuaded her daughter-in-law: "A little girl, how can she be so solemn?" Put aside our hometown, just hang a red cloth on the jujube tree in front of the house. ”
After marrying into the Lin family for nearly 20 years, Wen Wan disagreed with her mother-in-law for the first time: "How can it be the same?" How can the conditions in the past compare to the present, besides, our sister Yan is your first great-granddaughter, and she looks very rare. ”
Mrs. Lin disagreed: "Why is it different?" If you hold a ten-day flowing water banquet, whether you are Ayuan's silver money blown by the wind or picked up on the road, you will not live.
Our Lin family, my mother-in-law supported your father and three brothers, and I gave birth to Ah Yuan and their six brothers, and you are also three sons and one daughter. ”
After speaking, the old lady swept down the daughter-in-law who was sitting at the head, and there were two more coldness between her eyebrows: "When it comes to you, the two daughters-in-law are too angry!" Don't think I'm talking honestly, isn't the most important thing for our woman's family to leave a queen for her husband's family? Only when you have children and grandchildren can you have an explanation for your ancestors. If you can't give birth to a son, it's already our family's generosity that you didn't ask her to go back to her parents' house, why are you still worried about this? ”
Wen Wan whispered softly: "Qingya's child follows her mother, blooms first and then bears fruit." I know that my mother is looking forward to her great-grandson, but my granddaughter is the same as the blood of the Lin family, and I feel the same pain......"
"Then you two can do it by yourself, your father and I are too old to walk and we will not be able to go over." Mrs. Lin interrupted impatiently.
When she came out of the east courtyard, Wen Wan frowned and said to Mrs. Fang beside her, "What's wrong with giving birth to a girl?" My father and mother have never disliked me for being a girl. What is the inheritance, and the family either has the throne to inherit, or the heavenly family has not seen the long-term prosperity. ”
Mrs. Fang followed her and carefully persuaded: "The world is strict, there have always been many patriarchs, and there are few bowls of water. The second son is still young, and if he has a little son in a few years, it will be a good thing for children to become a pair. ”
Wen Wan said: "Even if there is only a daughter, it is not necessarily worse than a son." Well, my own granddaughter doesn't need to be liked by others. Qingya has been thinking a lot for a while, probably because of this, the ingots are not as meticulous as you, you take care of her over there, and comfort her more. ”
Mrs. Fang couldn't help but smile and praise: "There is no better mother-in-law like you in the world." ”
The thousand-year-old pit red jade jewelry that was found with great difficulty had to be handed over to the eldest young lady by himself, and the second young lady gave birth to a daughter, and the lady not only helped with it day and night, but even the mother-in-law like her and Mrs. Song were sent over to the second lady to condition her body and relieve her boredom.
Wen Wan looked at the trees and flowers, and smiled indifferently: "It's just to push yourself and others, I treat them well, and in the end they will give back to their husbands." ”
Mrs. Fang smiled when she heard this: "Madam is right, the slave and maid have been taught. ”
Her son Fang Dashan has also reached the age of discussing marriage, if she is more attentive to her daughter-in-law, she will not worry about a bad life for the young couple in the future.
As soon as Wen Wan told Lin Yuan about this in the evening, Lin Yuan went to the East Courtyard, and after only one meal, he came back and told her that Lin's father and Lin's mother would be allowed to participate in the full moon wine of the eldest granddaughter the day after tomorrow.
In fact, on the day of Yan'er's full moon, Lin's father and Lin's mother not only came, but also took out the family heirloom-a gold brick and put it in the hands of her great-granddaughter with a smile.
Wen Wan tilted her head slightly, and saw Qingya standing behind Yuanbao looking at her daughter crying and laughing, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally after the rain, the sky was clear.
In addition to being happy, she unconsciously looked at the man sitting next to her, and saw that he had a solemn face and put his thumb on his index finger to compare his heart to her while others were not noticing, and she couldn't help but laugh. After the funny, it's sweet.
When everyone arrived, the midwife's mother-in-law presided over the bath and added a basin for Yan'er to take a bath with wormwood, and the Lin family's full moon banquet was set up lively.
On the 10th day of the flowing water banquet, not to mention the neighbors, relatives and friends, even half of the people in the capital also went to Lin's house for free to eat the main banquet. Therefore, how much the Lin family values this eldest granddaughter is talked about by people all over the capital.
If you want to say that there is a fly in the ointment, there is also a regret, that is, Wen Lan did not attend in person on this happy day, and only asked the third son Cao Huaiyuan to bring gifts to congratulate.
"Tell me honestly, is there something going on at home?" Wen Wan was privately calling her nephew to inquire at this time.
Cao Huaiyuan lowered his head, and didn't let Wen Wan see the tears in her eyes: "Aunt is too careful, everything is fine at home, but my mother is too busy to take the time to come." ”
Wen Wanhu looked at her honest third nephew suspiciously for a moment, and suddenly stood up: "In this case, I will go back with you to have a look." If it's really busy at home, I'll just give your mother a hand. ”
Cao Huaiyuan was still staring at the ground with both eyes, and said angrily: "The family is busy, and my mother is infected with the wind and cold, so I am sick in bed by accident." My father asked a doctor two days ago to take a look, saying that he was overworked, and he would just rest for a few days, and his aunt didn't have to worry. ”
Wen Wan was furious when she heard this, waved her hand and swept away the teacup in her hand, and said coldly: "Bastard who doesn't match the preface and afterword, what happened to your mother, why don't you tell me honestly?" Who can you hide from lying and clenching your fists? ”
Cao Huaiyuan was startled, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve silently, but the more the tears were wiped, the more he couldn't stop.
Wen Wan was anxious for a moment, and she couldn't stand steadily holding his arms: "Good boy, tell me what's wrong!" Are you hell-bent on killing me? ”
Cao Huaiyuan raised his head with red eyes, knew that he was out of shape, and calmed down for a while before he said: "My mother won't let me say it, no one will let me say it, even my father and brother will hide it." ”
Wen Wan suddenly understood, and couldn't get up on the broken porcelain slag spread on the ground: "My sister is not good?" ”
Cao Huaiyuan, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't hold back anymore, and also sat on the broken porcelain piece and was aggrieved: "I started coughing up blood on the winter solstice last year, and now I can't get out of bed. ”
After speaking, he couldn't cry: "Auntie...... The house is in chaos...... The mother wanted to give her father a second room, but her father didn't allow it, and the two slept in separate rooms and quarreled. This is the right moment...... At this moment, the two sisters-in-law are still fighting for the right to stewardship, and the brothers have hid out...... Auntie, everything has changed, and the family has changed...... Okay, how did it all change all at once? ”
Wen Wan's heart was cold, and she vomited blood...... If you want to chat with more like-minded people about "Swallow Farmer", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
