24. Back to the door (1)

I whispered and said the purpose: "Mother-in-law, today is the fourth day of my marriage with Ah Ping, and we will go back to the door together when Ah Ping gets up later, and I will report to you first, I wonder if my mother-in-law can allow Ah Ping and her daughter-in-law to stay at her parents' house for one night?" ”

Widow Liu's eyes became a lot gloomy as I drew them, and she opened her mouth in a deep voice: "Where is all that red tape?" You're the one who has the most to do. Stay at home, and I'll have someone send you a message later. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, this is a refusal to go back? But this is what my mother specially explained to me before I got married, and told me that I must go back with the permission of my mother-in-law, which is also the etiquette that must be taken after marriage.

Widow Liu didn't seem to have the patience to talk to me more, and said to me in an unkind tone: "Go back to the room to serve Ah Ping, get me less moths, and don't take Ah Ping out secretly behind my back, I will come back at noon today." So saying, she passed me, and walked out of the courtyard quickly, only to hear her footsteps, heavy and heavy, just like her temperament.

I stood in the courtyard in the early spring morning, blown by the wind, and my body and heart were cold.

From that day on, I no longer asked Widow Liu, and I had to live my life. The only consolation is that there is a silly and cute husband, who can smooth out the depression of the fierce mother-in-law. And I found that he was a mediator between me and Widow Liu many times, and Widow Liu's preference for him came out of his bones, and basically all his wishes were based on him. As long as Ah Ping is involved in many things, Widow Liu will reduce her anger even if she has a complaint against me, and at most she will say a few words.

And Ah Ping's reaction is varied, a subtle movement, a flow of eyes, or the curvature of the corners of the mouth at that moment, when he expresses emotional unhappiness, Widow Liu will restrain and even calm her anger. So Ah Ping is indeed my pillar in this family, even if he is not mentally complete.

But I don't know if this is just a façade, or rather, the calm before the storm.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the only thing that makes me curious is the background of my husband's family. In the mountains and villages, most of them live on agriculture, and even if they work hard, they can get enough food and clothing, which is the norm for most people. At first I thought she was going to do all the farm work, but in the past three months, I saw her go out once in a while, and most of the time she stayed in a separate Buddhist room in the house to chant sutras.

In addition, I was in charge of the family's food, and I knew the supply of rice and grain in the stove best. Vegetables and fruits can still be grown in the yard, but the rice grain is getting shorter, but one morning I woke up and found that the rice jar was full, and the flour jar was also full. In addition to this, there are also meat and poultry that appear in the stove from time to time, although it is not very common, and there is only about half a month of such a meal, but judging by my life experience in the past five years, this can be regarded as a very good life in the village.

And I probably noticed that every time meat and poultry appeared in the stove room, it was two days after Widow Liu went out, so I guessed that she went out to buy it, and then someone sent it according to the time.

I didn't ask much about these strange phenomena, because it was superfluous to ask Ah Ping, and asking Widow Liu would inevitably touch Leng Dingzi.

On weekdays, there was a sudden episode, three months after I got married, my mother's family actually asked someone to come back to bring about the matter, and it was mentioned to Widow Liu.
