"Mother!"

Wang heard it in the house, so he walked in, saw the two who were already dressed, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Mother, today is the day I come back." Pearl said with a smile,

"Oh, yes! So be it! We don't have much money at home, so we don't prepare it, I see that there is still a piece of meat in the kitchen, you can bring it! ”

Pearl became angry when she heard it, this is the meat she asked Mingde to buy back yesterday, and she cut off a piece of it last night to cook. People sell meat, and they cut meat for people in a long strip, what is the matter with half of his family's meat? Besides, I bought this meat at my own expense.

"Mother, don't go too far, it's not a valuable gift, how can you save this gift?" Ming Qian was also annoyed,

Wang glared at Ming Qian and said, "What do you know, isn't my mother all for you?" My mother knows this, don't worry about it. ”

Saying that, what else didn't I understand, Ming Qian's fists were clenched tightly, and he said loudly, "If my mother thinks I'm a waste of reading, then don't read it at all." I'll just find an errand to do. ”

"You kid, this is digging out my heart! Mother is looking forward to your life in this life! It's all so that you can be admitted to Xiucai and Juren in the future, but you are saying this now. You ......"

Old Man Ming and Feng Shi came over when they heard the voice, followed by Ming Youshou. As soon as I came in, I saw Wang grabbing Mingqian's collar and crying.

"What is this for, don't let go." Old Man Ming spoke, and Wang let go, wiped his tears, and stood aside,

Old Man Ming and Feng sat on the main seat, and Ming Youshou also sat on the side and said to Pearl,

"Liu, tell me, it's only been a few days since you entered the door, and it's been a mess, this is your tutor?"

"My daughter-in-law has entered the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and the rules are all taught by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and I am not making trouble today, but I am not prepared for the return ceremony, and the daughter-in-law has to say a few more words."

Ming Youshou saw that Pearl was coming back, his face was even worse, and he said, "We are a small family, we don't pay much attention to it, since you marry into the Ming family, you have to listen to the elders." ”

"I didn't say anything about the return ceremony, and I also wanted to bring it with me, and I went back with the remaining half of the meat that I bought at home. Nothing can be separated from the word 'reason', and the two families are married, not enmity. The Ming family is not afraid of the ridicule of the people in the village if they do this? Even if it is passed on to my mother's family, no one will laugh at the daughter of the Liu family for not understanding the rules, it can only be said that the people of the Ming family are doing too much. ”

Ming Youshou wanted to say something, but was blocked by Old Man Ming with a wave of his hand, "Daughter-in-law, take money for the second family and buy gifts." Can't let people see our jokes. ”

"Where did we get the money?" Wang muttered,

Feng Shi was also angry, "Isn't there more or less?" ”

The Wang family is obviously used to being in charge, and said, "The second family is so rich, why do you calculate my two dollars?" ”

"Since my mother said that there is no money, then I have nothing to say, since ancient times, it has been the male protagonist and the female protagonist. Mother-in-law can't manage this family well, let people see jokes, I think grandparents should choose another virtuous one! Pearl said coolly,

Ming Qian scolded Pearl, "Presumptuous, how can you say such a thing?" ”

Pearl was not stunned by this, and said to her husband, "The husband is a person who does big things, this is the housekeeping of the family, and the husband should not interfere." ”

"Joke, if you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?"

Pearl was also angry and asked, "Then according to what my husband said, what should I do today?" ”

The sixteen-year-old boy was still a little worse in life, thought about it, and said, "It's because I don't have the ability to support my family, so I'm going to make amends to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Don't worry, I'll make it up. ”

"Husband's words are wrong, go empty-handed, what's the use of making apologies? This joke, relatives and friends are sure to see it. This doorway gift not only represents etiquette, but also represents the attitude of the in-laws towards their daughter-in-law. It's the face of the husband and the Ming family, you don't want to be embarrassed, I, Liu Zhuzhu, am not easy to handle. ”

"So what do you want to do? I just don't have any money, I just don't look down on you, what's wrong? Wang was irritated by Pearl's words and lost his mind.

Ming Youshou also said, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" Said to Ming Qian, "Second brother, you still don't want this wicked woman?" ”

Mingqian listened, but did not move. He understands very well in his heart that he wants to use other people's money and manipulate other people, and this kind of thing is too much. Besides, he is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, of course he can't take a break.

"Second daughter-in-law, what do you say?" Old Man Ming said,

"Either split up or someone else will be in charge."

"Phew! You are beautiful, your parents are here, what kind of home do you share? Someone else in charge? It's for you! You still want to be in charge of a second daughter-in-law, when there is no one in our Ming family? I'm alive and well! You're thinking it's beautiful. ”

Feng didn't care about Wang's arguing, and said to Pearl, "Who do you say to change?" ”

"If your grandmother is in charge, it's really not good, isn't there a sister-in-law? Of course, if it's okay to split up, I won't ask for a penny from the family. ”

Ming Youshou's face is even more ugly, and all the belongings of their whole family are not as good as half of the pearls! Even if the second child is guaranteed, there is still the third child! "No, I can't. Outsiders know that they want to laugh at it, where is there a daughter-in-law in charge? ”

"My father and mother have worked hard for most of their lives, and they feel guilty when they are sons. I'll let my sister-in-law be in charge of the house in the future! ”

Ming Youshou and the Wang family wanted to say something, but Old Man Ming spoke first,

"Old woman, the two hundred dollars are for the second family. Don't talk about it later. Alright, you can go too! "Final word.

Walking out of the hall, the two of them set off together, "Who has a carriage or an ox cart?" ”

Ming Qian hasn't slowed down yet! said, "The Zhu family at the entrance of the village, do you want to make a car?" Isn't it only about ten miles of land? Why spend money? ”

"I've got to buy a gift for my parents! Besides, I still have something to buy, so let's take an ox cart to the town to buy something, and then go back to my parents' house. ”

"Hmm." Ming Qian was obedient, thought about it, and said, "You were wronged today, and I will definitely protect you well in the future." ”

When Ming Qian said this, Pearl felt a lot more comfortable in her heart. Thinking that it was indeed not so easy to split up, I put this matter aside for the time being.

The two of them took an ox cart to the town, from Xiaqiao Village to the town, which was a little more than the pearl's house. When he arrived in town, Pearl found a furniture store and spent five taels of silver to customize a large screen base. There are several sizes of pearls. Mingqian wanted to stop it, but seeing that Pearl still seemed to be a little angry, he didn't say anything, and then went to the butcher shop again, bought two pork ribs, and spent 200 Wen. Two pieces of meat, both are five catties of pork belly, a hen is 40 wen, and four are bought. I bought a bag of fine white noodles and put a bag of rice on the car.

"You buy so much?" Ming Qian was a little frightened.

Pearl said, "You're so thin now, you need nutrition, I'm going to start a small stove." Otherwise, I can't stand it, you don't want me to become skinny, right? ”

"Not really, right?"

"Anyway, I know that I have money, and it's nothing to be a small stove. I just hand over the dowry, and your mother won't think I'm a good one, so why should I wronged myself. ”

Ming Qian had nothing to say. He also knows his father's thoughts. His wife knows everything in her heart, but she is still willing to help him, just rush this, Mingqian has no reason to hold back.
