So Li's mother was as tired as a cow, serving the Li family, sprinkling and cleaning the kitchen, and scrubbing and washing urine for Liu Chengzu's two children. Later, Fu Gou'er's family also threw a large bag of clothes here, called washing and mending, just tired and especially, Li's mother's original residence was gone, and rushed to a very small room with a dirty mother-in-law, who loved to drink two sips, smelled of wine, and slept and snored.

Not to mention that there is no penny of money a month, the ancestral daughter-in-law is full of words, you are a slave bought by the family, and the master's family will be gracious if you don't fight or kill, what money do you want. Li's mother was so angry that she ran to Li and cried, she was a helper and not a house slave who signed a deed, and she was about to leave, Li tried her best to persuade her not to be like this shrew, and when she said that she was sad and wiped her tears, "Mingyu's father is simply obsessed, and he has a good life like this." What if there are no sons, there are many people in this world who do not have sons, and not everyone will be able to live without them. Neither of my daughters was worse than my son. The one sent by their Liu family is on the table. Speaking of this, I became more and more sad, thinking of the two women who left home and hugged their heads and cried.

However, on the matter of willow branches, the two have different views. The family can't mention willow branches openly, and the daughter-in-law of Chengzu only heard that there was a sister-in-law in the family, who had fallen into the water and died.

Occasionally, the Li family whispered in private, and the Li family always complained a little, thinking that Liu Zhi's heart was too ruthless, if this capable eldest daughter kept at home, the family would be different from now, and Liu Wang would not go mad and change his temperament, "Alas, it's all the branches that hurt her, if she wasn't so angry, her Laozi wouldn't have changed like this." You said that if she marries Brother Yang well, our family will be harmonious and beautiful. ”

Li's mother couldn't agree: "Marry Brother Yang and eat bran vegetables?" And Brother Yang and the little cow lady have already hooked up, what should the big girl do? Raise his family and raise a concubine? It's not a big family, but he also learns to marry a little wife, I'm sorry! Besides, don't forget that these are not all left by the big girl now, if you don't force her like that at the beginning, now that she has a daughter and a son-in-law, what's wrong. ”

"Where is there a daughter who regards men as more important than her parents? Can't she be softer? Just wait a few more years at home, and her father will probably agree to them when his anger is gone? Li was so ashamed and angry that he began to cry.

The two masters and servants who have been friends for many years broke up unhappily, and the more they talked about it in the back, the more they couldn't say it, whenever Li Ma said something good for Liu Zhi, the Li family would definitely be resentful, and Li Ma would not say it for a long time. In fact, Li's mother selfishly wants to explain the two of them, and one day if the eldest girl returns to her hometown, she will be able to release her past suspicions with her parents.

Mama Li looked at the stack of baby clothes she had sewn, and the more she spoke, the more sad she became: "The eldest girl is not an iron-clad person, why can you bear to break her heart so much." She has just one wish, and you won't fulfill her. ”

"Daddy just thinks my sister should marry someone better than Brother Xiaochun." Wicker whispered.

"But your sister has liked Li Chun since she was a child, and you don't know it. Other parents are willing to wronged themselves for the sake of their children, and you will force such a good girl to death. The more Mama Li said, the more resentful she became, "It's not that I'm vicious, but according to me, your father and mother are all self-inflicted on living like this." These yard shops, as well as the fields in the countryside, are enough for ordinary families for three generations, this was originally for you, and you understand why Li Chun said that he wanted to give these to you in the first place, and he didn't hope that you would be able to become a family after he took your sister away. Second girl, you can't take care of your mother yourself, and you still count on me? Who am I? I'm just an outsider, and I'm here to help in your house. ”

Wicker is already crying silently, ashamed but unspeakably wronged, she knows that she is not as strong and brave as her sister, but she really cares about her family. Doesn't she say nothing about a large amount of property like this, when her father takes it and gives it to a few brothers? Do you want to learn to contradict your father and mother everywhere like your sister and make your father and mother angry?

At the beginning, Li Chun bought 500 acres of land for the Liu family, a garden and a small shop, and 1,000 taels of silver. The shop was already given to Liu Chengzu's family, and Chengzu's daughter-in-law sold some velvet needles and the like like her mother's family, and the income was good, but the money had nothing to do with the two old ones, and they chewed it themselves.

Liuyuan and Luo Fuzi changed the courtyard of Pomegranate Lane where they live now and 10,000 taels of silver. The silver subsidized Fu Gou'er, Liu Chengzu and later Fu Dan'er saw the heat, and also brought the family to fight the autumn breeze from time to time, and those who cried and cried also got hundreds of taels. And Fu Gou'er lived in the city after eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, he looked very ugly, and he needed to double the silver to do anything, he slipped his head and pulled Liu Chengzu together, and Liu Wang of the famine two people pulled down was not good not to pay. 10,000 taels of silver is only four or five years old, and there are only more than 4,000 taels left, and this is still in the case of land production every year. It turned out that when I was in Huashi County, I could have a few hundred taels of silver from a wealthy family, and now I can't fill the pit of these nephews with ten thousand taels of silver.

With the increasing differences between Liu Wang and the Li family and under the influence of Liu Da and others, Liu Wang wanted to hand over 500 acres to his brother to manage, just like he said, "Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, why should this income be cheaper for outsiders." Li was so angry that he scolded, "How much did my mother's family subsidize you, and I never disliked you when you took on a burden." Your good brother eats fragrant and spicy food, and when you walk around with a cold steamed bun, my family gave you a bowl of hot water! Now my mother's family has become outsiders! ”

Liu Wang was told by his mother-in-law, he couldn't get over his face, scolded a few times, and Li even pulled the belt of his trousers to hang himself. In this way, the land property was saved, but Liu Wang also said that he would take 100 acres out for two people to support the elderly, and the other 400 acres would be used as a dowry.

This incident made the Li family completely separated from Liu Wang, wicker is the last thought of the Li family, the daughter has a decent family business, and she could have a rich dowry, but it all fell into the hands of others. For the successor Li family, there is no enthusiasm for Liu Wang, and there is no emotion, but the wicker came out of her belly! How not to be angry.

Now the dowry of the wicker is 400 acres of land, and Li Rong kept the 1,000 taels of silver for the box, and Liu Wang agreed to take out 2,000 taels of silver to the wicker under the pressure of Li's death. Then there are some jewelry that the Li family has accumulated by themselves, they are originally from a small family, and these jewelry are more commemorative than valuable, and they are not valuable things.

As for the box of private rooms that Liu Zhi gave to his sister when he left, it was originally handed over to Li's mother and asked Li's mother to keep it on her behalf. When the new sister-in-law was presented, the wicker asked Li's mother to take a hairpin, but it was uncontrollable, and the wicker couldn't stand it every time she came to Li's mother to beg Li's mother, and the little girl just asked for a hairpin, so Li's mother simply gave the hairpin to the wicker and asked her to hold it herself. The wicker is soft and thin-skinned, and the fourteen hairpins were used by the three sisters-in-law to go back to their parents' house without a decent piece of jewelry to wear, and they were almost on their heads when they went to the lantern party, and so on, and so on, and only two or three were left.

But the silver ticket Li Ma firmly put it away, and the wicker did not lack the heart to the end, when my sister left, she said that the money should not be given to anyone, so this small amount of private money was firmly hidden. She and Mama Li faced each other together, and those silver tickets added up to 1,300 taels. At that time, these money were given to the willow branches by Li Chun in the dowry, so they were all small silver bills of twenty, fifty, and eighty, and the largest one was two hundred taels.
