Chapter 19 I see, nineteen
Qin Tai was thinking about where Ma Guilan's things would be, and Ma Kui and his wife thought that it was their little sister Ma Yuelan who came back, so they were very unkind to Ma Guilan. In this case, it is impossible for Ma Guilan to easily enter Ma Kui's and his wife's room, so there will be no evidence of Ma Guilan under Ma Kai's bed. It is also unlikely that Ma Kai's son, that is, Ma Guilan's nephew Ma Lin's room, because the room of the young nephew and niece's daughter-in-law is embarrassed to enter and exit casually. Even if Ma Lin and his wife don't mind, Ma Kai's daughter-in-law, who is the mother-in-law of the house, will also make irresponsible comments about it. It is impossible for Ma Guilan to quietly enter the room of Ma Lin and his wife to leave evidence. So the bed under the bed mentioned by Ma Guilan is that bed? Isn't it in the Ma family, this evidence is in Ma Yuelan's little second girl? How dare Ma Guilan leave such important evidence with Erya?
Qin Tai saw that this villager was a little enthusiastic and talkative, so he chatted with this villager. This villager's name is Ah Si, and he is an old neighbor of Ma Kui's family, and he knows a lot about Ma Kui's family. Because he lived nearby, he was arranged by the village chief to work the night shift at Ma's house. Ah Si told Qin Tai some things about the Ma family, some of which Qin Tai already knew, and some things that Qin Tai had not heard of.
It turned out that the Ma family had not been very harmonious, and Ma Kui's father almost caused a big incident of fratricide because of the discord between his brothers. Ma Kui's father, also known as Ma Guilan's father, was the eldest in the family, so in the end, he got some more land and things. For this reason, the younger brother was of course unhappy, and secretly manipulated Ma Kui's father's field, causing Ma Kui's father's family to have almost no harvest that year. Because of this, Ma Kui's mother insisted on selling her seven-year-old daughter to someone else's family as a child bride, despite her husband's opposition. Ah Si once heard the old man of his family say that the father of the Ma family likes Ma Guilan, and the old lady of the Ma family likes Ma Kui. Ma Kui's father once planned to let his son work as a long-term worker, but Ma Kui's mother was reluctant to agree and insisted that her daughter Ma Guilan be a child daughter-in-law. In this way, Ma Guilan never returned, and there was almost no news at all. In order to appease her husband, in order to keep her husband's heart, and in order to prevent her husband from driving her away, Ma Kui's mother had to give birth to another child for Ma Kui's father, and that child was Ma Yuelan. Ma Yuelan's father already loved his daughter, and Ma Yuelan was the youngest child in the family, and even Ma Yuelan's mother began to dote on Ma Yuelan. Ma Yuelan's appearance made Ma Kui feel a crisis, he not only had to work but also take care of his little sister, and his parents' kindness to his little sister also made Ma Kui jealous.
Ma Kui is quite good to his little sister Ma Yuelan, because there is family affection in it, even if there is a little jealousy, it should be impossible to avoid. But Ma Kui's wife is very dissatisfied with this Ma Yuelan, because Ma Yuelan's existence makes this Ma family's daughter-in-law feel threatened and suffered. Generally speaking, people in the countryside are the same, good, important, valuable, real estate, etc., must be left to their sons. If there are two or three sons, there will be disagreements on the separation of the family. The reason why Ma Kui's wife agreed to marry Ma Kui in the first place is because the old Ma family only has one son, Ma Kui, and everything in the future will be left to Ma Kui. That's why Ma Kui's wife is willing to marry Ma Kui, which means that everything will be her own in the future. I didn't expect that the old Ma family also had a little sister, a little daughter who was so loved by the old Ma family. Generally, daughters will give some dowry when they marry their parents, but the number will not be large and it will not hurt the bones. But after Ma Kui's wife entered the door, she found that this sister-in-law Ma Yuelan was not simple, and the two couples of the old Ma family had promised to give Ma Yuelan a large amount of dowry. Lao Ma's family is only a medium-sized family in the village, and if you usually marry a daughter, the cost will not be too much. But Ma Yuelan's parents promised to marry their daughter too much beyond Ma Kui's wife's budget, and Ma Kui's wife felt that she couldn't stand it. Ma Kui's wife has to serve her father-in-law and mother-in-law after that, and this young sister-in-law will lose almost one-third of the total family property to make cattle and horses, and Ma Kui's wife is of course unwilling. Although the father-in-law and mother-in-law have opinions on their daughter-in-law, they will have to rely on Ma Kui and his wife for the elderly in the future, so they have to patiently explain and persuade. But the sister-in-law Ma Yuelan is not so easy to speak, and she quarreled directly with her sister-in-law, and it made a big fuss. Ma Yuelan has the plan not to return to her parents' house in the future, and she must take a large amount of property as a dowry to go to her husband's house. Unexpectedly, she would be kicked out of the house by her husband in the end and returned to her parents' house in desperation.
Ma Kui and his wife were very dissatisfied with Ma Yuelan's return, and sarcastically mocked Ma Yuelan from time to time, saying that if Ma Yuelan hadn't been too good at making trouble, the old Ma family would not be so defeated now. Although what she said was a bit excessive, what Ma Yuelan did back then was also too much. When Ma Yuelan got married, she had to be beautiful, not only to save face but also to have a lot of property. Lao Ma's family didn't have so many ready-made, so Ma Yuelan used the name of Lao Ma's family to mortgage and borrow, and all the things she got were brought to her husband's family as her own dowry, causing Lao Ma's family to marry a daughter and leave a big deficit. The old Ma family still did not fully pay off the dowry money that Ma Yuelan borrowed in the name of the old Ma family until Ma Lin got married. For this reason, Ma Kui and his wife did not blame Ma Yuelan's parents, and Ma Yuelan's parents had to hand over the power in advance, otherwise Ma Kui's wife would not let Ma Yuelan go.
When Ma Yuelan went back to live in her parents' house, it happened to be when Ma Lin, a nephew, had just married his daughter-in-law. The old Ma family was originally not a big house, and Ma Kui and his wife were angry at that time, so they put Ma Yuelan aside. Ma Lin's new house was the best room in Lao Ma's house at that time, and Ma Kui and his wife lived in the largest room in Lao Ma's house, which meant that they had the highest status in the family. It turned out that the room where Ma Yuelan's parents lived was empty, and Ma Yuelan originally planned to live in this room, because there was still some furniture left by Ma Yuelan's parents when they were alive. But Ma Kui's wife didn't let Ma Yuelan live in this room, because this room was going to be lived in for their grandson in the future. If Ma Yuelan can live temporarily, now she will not only have to stay permanently but also have a bad reputation, which will affect the reputation of the children and grandchildren of the old Ma family, so Ma Kai's wife resolutely did not let Ma Yuelan live in this room. In this way, Ma Yuelan had to live in an old house of Lao Ma's family, and Ma Yuelan couldn't stand it anymore and left.
Ma Yuelan came back half a year ago, but in fact, it was not Ma Yuelan who came back, but Ma Yuelan's sister Ma Guilan. After Ma Guilan came back, she learned that Ma Lin, the nephew, had a son, and she was the child's aunt. Ma Guilan's appearance surprised Ma Kui and his wife, but Ma Guilan couldn't help but arrange a place to live when she came, so Ma Kui's wife still wanted Ma Guilan to live in the old house, thinking that Ma Yuelan would not agree. Unexpectedly, it was not Ma Yuelan but Ma Guilan, this old house happened to be the room where Ma Guilan lived back then, so Ma Guilan did not object. After Ma Guilan settled in, she gradually adapted to this family, and Ma Guilan began to help her sister-in-law and nephew do things, and sometimes coax the children to play. Everyone thought that Ma Yuelan had suffered hardships and began to learn to be a man, but in fact, it was because it was the more humane sister Ma Guilan who came back. Although Ma Guilan didn't buy food for the child, she was really good to the child, and Ma Lin's wife really felt it, so she began to respect this aunt. In addition, Ma Kui's wife often finds faults, and Ma Guilan always patiently listens to the lesson and leaves silently. made everyone think that this Ma Yuelan had really changed, and even her niece and daughter-in-law began to sympathize with Ma Yuelan. In fact, it is because Ma Guilan grew up in the palace since she was a child, and this kind of criticism is commonplace for her, and she has long been used to it. Ma Guilan not only does not resent her sister-in-law, but also sympathizes with this sister-in-law, it seems that her sister-in-law has been wronged too much by her sister Ma Yuelan.
Ah Si told Qin Tai that he often saw Ma Yuelan actually sitting in the courtyard with the child in her arms. Ma Guilan often coaxes children and makes them giggle and play. Ma Guilan also often takes some clothes that she can't wear and changes them into children's clothes for her children to wear. In the countryside, adults don't have many clothes, and children have even fewer clothes. Children grow up quickly, and often wear them for a long time without doing them, so children's clothes are not only simple but also not numerous. Ma Guilan loves her nephew and grandson, so she changed a few of her clothes to the children to wear, which even Ma Lin's wife felt sorry for. Ma Guilan said that children are more important than adults, and besides, clothes that can't be worn can be worn by younger children in the future, anyway, Ma Lin's wife will have a lot of children in the future when she is young. Although these words are common, they make Marin's wife very comfortable, and she thinks that this aunt with a bad reputation is actually a good person. Ma Guilan finally stayed in the palace, even if the needlework is not as good as the Needlework Bureau, the craftsmanship is also good. The clothes she made for her children were not only beautiful but also durable, and Marlin's wife liked them very much, and even Ma Kui's wife had to admit that it was really good. The child fell in love with this aunt and grandmother, playing with her aunt all day long, and even liked to sleep with Ma Guilan when she slept. Ma Guilan often went back to her room to sleep when the red child fell asleep.
