As soon as this cousin came out, Huang Liuniang cried more and more.

Xia Yu didn't even look at her, but said proudly: "Little cousin, you are really obedient, come, cousin will give you an apple to eat." With that, he took an apple and handed it to Wuzhu.

Wuzhu didn't know the severity, so he took it and took a mouthful, and muttered: "It's delicious." ”

Huang Liuniang didn't seem to be able to suppress the despair and pain in her heart anymore, she pounced over, slapped the apple in Wuzhu's hand to the ground, and shouted viciously: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, what's the use of me raising you, I have worked hard to pull you up, and in the end, who will remember that I am your mother......" said while crying.

Wuzhu was frightened by Huang Liuniang's hideous face, reflexively threw himself into Erzhu's arms, and also cried.

Qingbao also understood Huang Liuniang's words of scolding Huai, her little face immediately turned red, and she screamed: "Can you give birth or not, who let you give birth to so much?" Since I was a child, what have you done to me? I can't eat enough, I can't wear warm clothes, and I have to take your children every day, three pillars, four pillars, five pillars and six ya, which one didn't I bring out? My uncle and aunt cherish me and want to find me a good relative, you are not happy for me, you are still crying and crying, and scolding me for being ungrateful, are you my mother, have you considered my future? Do you want me to be like you in this life, without enough food and clothing? As she spoke, Xia Yu's tears also flowed, and then she didn't say anything, just howling vigorously, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Li took Xia Yu in his arms, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said kindly: "Yu'er don't cry, you will be your mother's daughter in the future, and your mother will definitely not let you suffer a little more grievances, go, your mother will lead your family to this place, you will come if you love this place in the future, and we will not come if you don't love to come." Don't cry, the makeup on the crying face is spent, and my mother has powdered you in the morning. ”

Huang Bingchen also came over to reprimand Huang Liuniang and said: "It was originally a good thing, you see that you made peace." Yu'er has a good life after marrying a good family, isn't it better than following you to eat bran vegetables? What's more, we're so close, you don't think she'll go to see her, you can also take the child back and stay for a few days. Your sister-in-law and I didn't say that you weren't allowed to come to see her in the future, or that she wasn't allowed to come back to see you. In a few days, I will go to the county to move Yu'er's household to our house, March 18 is a good day, the family set a table of wine, let Yu'er change her mouth and recognize her relatives, if you want to come, you can come, don't come to pull down. Okay, Yu'er, don't cry, let's go home. ”

While speaking, Huang Bingchen took the lead and walked across the threshold, and Li pulled Xia Yu, who was still choking, to follow him and left.

Seeing that her daughter didn't even turn her head back when she left, Huang Liuniang felt even more uncomfortable and cried even more.

Xia Shouping wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and persuaded Huang Liuniang: Liuniang, don't cry, the child is older, we can't take care of it. Pull them up, and do our best to be parents. Wherever she wants, she goes. ”

Qingbao also squeezed over and persuaded: "Mother, it's okay, you still have me, wait for me to earn money to honor my mother." ”

Erzhu also said: "Mother, and me, I will honor you when I grow up." ”

Three, four, and five pillars also scrambled to express their positions, calling their mothers one after another.

Huang Liuniang knew that the matter was irreparable, and with the persuasion of her husband and children, she gradually stopped crying.

Xia Shouping brought a basin of water and asked Huang Liuniang to wash her face, Huang Liuniang washed and washed, as if she remembered something, and asked Xia Shouping: "If you pass your daughter out, do you want to talk to your father and mother and the patriarch." ”

"The step-son must have to say, the step-daughter may not be, I'll ask my mother."

"Then you go quickly, if your father and mother don't agree to the succession, take advantage of the fact that the eldest brother has not changed the household registration of the eldest girl, and bring the eldest girl back." Huang Liuniang was still unwilling to pass her daughter out, so she urged Xia Shouping to ask.

Xia Shouping agreed.

The four pillars went out to find Qingbao at noon, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet, and their stomachs were already grumbling with hunger, but seeing that their mothers were angry, no one dared to eat.

Qing Bao saw Liuzhu staring at the roast chicken and swallowing saliva, and couldn't help but say: "Mother, let the brothers eat, I've been hungry for a long time." ”

In the expectation of the five-pillar eyes, Huang Liuniang ruthlessly put away all the things in the basket: "Don't move this first, if it can't be done, the things will be returned to your uncle's house, you better eat the nest first." ”

As soon as they heard about eating the nest, the children's faces suddenly fell, Wuzhu ran over and picked up the apples on the ground, glanced at Huang Liuniang carefully, and saw that Huang Liuniang didn't care about him, and hurriedly stuffed the dusty apple into his mouth.

As soon as she saw her son's gluttonous appearance that she hadn't eaten anything, Huang Liuniang felt sad for a while, and her resentment towards her eldest daughter couldn't help but decrease.

Look around your little home, it is poor, dilapidated, and crowded.

Don't blame her daughter for abandoning them, it's just blame, she and Xianggong are too incompetent, can't earn money, and can't give the children a better life.

After a while, Xia Shouping came back, followed by Mrs. Xia, who was still a long-faced woman.

Huang Liuniang hurriedly went over to say hello: "Mother, why did you come here in person, just call me over if you have something." ”

Mrs. Xia ignored her, sat down on the chair, and after Huang Liuniang poured tea, she slowly spoke: "You are too bold, such a big matter, you don't discuss it with us, you make your own decisions?" The eldest girl is from our Lao Xia family, and your father and I are her own grandfather and grandmother, let you say this, can we manage it? ”

Huang Liuniang forced out a smile and said, "Mother, I just can't be the master, so did his father ask you to go?" You are a big girl and grandmother, and this matter can't go beyond you. ”

Seeing that Huang Liuniang had such a good attitude, Mrs. Xia's face softened, but her tone was still very stern: "Let's talk about it, what kind of epilepsy are your eldest brother and your sister-in-law, and they want to pass the eldest girl?" Is there something important that has to be passed on, can't you admit it? ”

Huang Liuniang hurriedly repeated Uncle Huang's words.

After listening, Mrs. Xia said slowly: "According to what your eldest brother said, this is really for the good of our eldest girl, I, who is a grandmother, do not hinder my granddaughter's good deeds." In the matter of succession, if you want to pass on your son, you must pass the patriarch and the clan elder, and you don't need to pass your stepdaughter, and your daughter is not included in the family tree. Let's do it privately. ”

Hearing that Mrs. Xia actually agreed, Huang Liuniang was a widow and a dead son, and there was no hope at all.

It seems that the eldest girl is decided.

Since even the grandparents agreed, Qingbao thought that the matter would be over here, but unexpectedly, after taking a sip of tea, the old lady continued: "But this succession is not in vain. A few years ago, Widow Li in our village succeeded a nephew as an heir, and gave the heir's father and mother twenty taels of silver, as well as three animal sacrifices. Although the heir can't keep up with the heir, the eldest girl we have worked hard for thirteen years has no reason to give it away in vain. ”

As soon as these words came out, it really opened Qingbao's eyes, it turned out that the old lady was not unhappy because Huang Liuniang passed Xia Yu out, but because she didn't sell Xia Yu at a high price.

It seems that the old lady is also planning to come to share the pie.

Xia Shouping was honestly overdone, and he didn't dare to hide it from his mother, and said beside him: "Liuniang's eldest brother brought something over, and he didn't ask for a big girl in vain." ”

Xia Shouping, who had a lot of mouths, glanced at Huang Liuniang and quickly explained: "My eldest brother said it clearly, they came to see Liuya, and the things they brought were also sent by my mother to Liuya. ”

Mrs. Xia's shrewd eyes kept staring at Huang Liuniang, Huang Liuniang's small movements were in full view, but she said quietly: "How can I hear the third child say that the eldest girl even kowtowed to you, and even changed her mouth?" If those things weren't given as a gift to the eldest girl, you could make the eldest girl change her mind? ”

"The eldest girl is willing to go, and my sister-in-law will make an envoy, and she will kneel down for us. I didn't agree to pass the eldest girl out, that's my daughter, how can I give up......" Huang Liuniang said as she spoke, tears falling again.

"What are you crying about, it's just a girl, what's there to be reluctant to?" Mrs. Xia snorted, stopped Huang Liuniang, who was crying, and then said sharply: "Ming'er, you will go back to your mother's house, and tell your eldest brother and sister-in-law, our old Xia family has raised a girl for thirteen years, and there is no reason to give it to his family in vain, let them take ten taels of silver and three sacrifices to come over." Ming'er, you bring the big girl back first, if you don't see the money gift, the big girl can't go over. ”

Qingbao really saw Mrs. Xia's intentions clearly, it turned out that her granddaughter was not a relative at all in the eyes of her old man, but a goods that could be sold at a clear price. Qingbao suddenly made a decision, in this male-inferior society, it is better to earn money to support himself, and save a few taels of silver to be sold one day.

Hearing that Mrs. Xia asked her to go back to her parents' house to ask for money, Huang Liuniang felt a little embarrassed, and besides, she was not willing to pass her daughter out, so she couldn't help choking and said: "I'll take the eldest girl back tomorrow, and if I take it back, I won't let her go, but it's also the meat that fell from my body, and I am reluctant to pass her out." ”

After hearing Huang Liuniang say that she didn't want to pass the eldest girl out, Mrs. Xia's angry eyebrows were raised: "You stupid thing, you don't count, if the eldest girl doesn't succeed in the past, what good family can you find?" It's just a poor scum like you, and I can't even get a serious dowry, so we have to accompany some dowry.

If the adoptive goes out, we can get the silver gift without the dowry, what a good deal is this? Besides, if I get a silver gift, will I spend it alone? Isn't the big head for you? You use those taels of silver to build a house again, and the two pillars say that it will be big, so where will you put your daughter-in-law in this room, and put the pigsty? ”
