Zhou Rong was accustomed to his mother Liu's casualness, and he had never heard the coldness in Pearl's words, and said, "Mother, if you don't study, you should always know some truth!" As the saying goes, follow the father at home, marry the husband, and die from the son......"

"Slap ......" a big mouth beat Zhou Rong to a stagger, here Pearl thought to himself, you have to hurry up and practice martial arts, this body also has a lot of pain, cured, soaked in the eight merits of the water to practice, plus some auxiliary medicines, but it can be a little achievement, but at this time it will not work, you can only rely on physical strength,

"Mother! Are you crazy? ”

"Presumptuous! Is there anyone who speaks to his mother like this? Before your father died, you already regarded your mother as a dead person? Did you read your book in the dog's belly? And what do I say I haven't read? Do you know what it means to 'mourn my parents' birth and labor? Where does this come from? What do you mean?? ”

"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning. Standing up and doing the way, making a name for yourself in future generations, in order to show your parents, and the end of filial piety. Husband filial piety, starting from the family, in the matter of the king, and finally standing. Where did this sentence come from, have you ever read it, read it, and done it? ”

"The matter of filial piety is also close to the family, the residence is to pay respect, the raising is to be happy, the illness is to be worried, the mourning is to be mourned, and the sacrifice is to be severe. The five are prepared, and then they can be pro. Those who are close to each other are not arrogant, they are not chaotic for the bottom, and they are not arguable in ugliness. If you are arrogant at the top, you will die, if you are chaotic at the bottom, you will be punished, and if you are ugly, you will be killed. The three are not removed, although they are raised with three animals every day, they are still unfilial. ”

Pearl said with a pause, Zhou Rong's face had begun to turn redder, and Pearl continued. "Now that your father is seriously ill, you have begun to disrespect your mother, is such a person still worthy of fame? It's just a little showman, how many articles you have in your belly, how much ability you have, I know it very well. You crawled out of my belly, and you still want to make a ghost in front of me, and you want to hold me hostage? Still don't put the medicine down? This medicine thing. First, selling it can be life-threatening. Bring endless trouble to your family, you are not considerate of your family, and your eyes only see silver, right? These are what your father needs, but you will take away. I'm telling you. I want to be in charge. Yes, or you can give it to me, or. When you really have the ability to convince people with virtue, let's talk about it! ”

Zhou Xin is not very convinced by this eldest brother on weekdays, and when he heard that his mother, who has always been taciturn, is abnormal, it can be seen how outrageous the eldest brother has done in this matter, so he said, "What my mother said is very right, I will leave the words here today, if anyone reveals this matter, I will break his leg first." ”

Zhou Rong also took out the medicine at this time and put it on the kang, feeling that he had no face in front of his two younger brothers, second brothers and sisters, and four younger sisters, so he wanted to leave.

Pearl opened his mouth and said, "Your father can't move, and the three of you will take turns to serve in the future, if one of you dares to slack off, don't blame me for killing my relatives in righteousness, and the two funerals will be done together." Zhou Rong, you went to fetch firewood, didn't you see that there was not much firewood in the backyard? ”

Zhou Rong just wanted to say that he was going to Wen Shu, but he didn't dare to refute it after thinking about it, so he went back to the room to change out of the robe, put on a coarse cloth short, and went out for a big firewood. As soon as he walked to the gate, he heard the fourth sister Jing Jiang shouting to him, "Big brother, my mother said, it's enough for two days, otherwise, your family will freeze." ”

Zhou Rong saw that someone was already watching them, so he hurriedly left.

Pearl turned around and said to Zheng, "Old man, go and kill a chicken, just that old hen, kill it and put it in a clay pot to boil, just put it in white water, wait for me to go." ”

"Huh? Killing chickens? Zheng was very scared, she didn't dare to kill the chicken, and she didn't dare to return the chicken feathers, because the smell was too strong, and she would be disgusted.

As soon as the second daughter-in-law, Meng Erya, heard that she was going to kill the chicken, she spoke first, "Mother, that chicken still lays eggs!" What a shame to kill! ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Otherwise, we will kill this year's chickens, although they are small......" Meng Erya looked at her mother-in-law's eyes cold, and she didn't dare to continue, so she quickly added, "Then I'll go now." ”

"Wait!"

Meng Erya trembled, afraid that her mother-in-law would target her, and looked back at her mother-in-law. Pearl said to Zheng, "What do you mean by Xiucai Lady?" ”

Zheng's face flushed and he didn't dare to speak, and Pearl continued, "How many years have you been married to the Zhou family? After giving birth to two sons, are you a hero? As someone's daughter-in-law, you still can't do housework well, are you embarrassed to serve the Zhou family's job? ”

"Mother, I'm too stupid, I must study hard, I must study hard." Zheng was frightened, and the meaning of these words was obviously to divorce his wife!

"I did it for you when you first got married. Then you got pregnant, and I continued to wait. When your siblings enter the door, you will be completely idle. You are not stupid, you are the same as the boss, you are too shrewd, you think that others are stupid, the second daughter-in-law does not care, it is the virtue of the second family, you don't care about these, and you are willing to do your duty as a daughter-in-law, but what about you? After so many years, I don't dare to kill chickens and don't do dirty work, because do you think you are more noble than me and my second family, as well as your four sisters-in-law? ”

"No, no mother, I didn't mean that, I must do it well." Zheng hurriedly promised,

Pearl continued, "After a month, if you still can't cook a decent meal, I will personally go to your mother's house, find your parents, your mother's relatives and friends, what should you do with such a daughter-in-law?" Why don't I marry you a daughter-in-law? What do you think? Now marry a ten-year-old. When your son is twenty, how about your daughter-in-law who is as old as a grandmother? When the time comes, let the eldest grandson not shout grievances, who will make her mother squeamish? ”

"It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, the daughter-in-law must do a good job." And as he spoke, they all fell to their knees,

Meng Erya didn't dare to speak, and Pearl said to Meng Erya, "Second child, go and watch her work, and make a bowl of rice for your father by the way, don't mix it with other grains." ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law, let's go, the other people's meals ......"

"Just look at it." Pearl didn't say much, and the two daughters-in-law went to the kitchen.

The four girls around her looked at their mothers with a little curiosity, usually their mothers didn't pay much attention to them, but occasionally pointed out the embroidery, and they were also very opposed to the matter of them following the two brothers to practice martial arts. But nothing was said.

This time, I was really curious to see the old lady powerful. The eldest maid Wei Ji was the first to come over and said to Pearl, "Mother, there are so many packages in your cabinet, what are they?" ”

"What else could there be? Dowry for the four of you! Pearl found the big cigarette pouch pot next to her, this thing is good, and there are jade and jade cigarette pouch mouths in her space! Catch Ming'er and get one yourself, this thing is good! Ready-made weapons.

Four girls, all beautiful. Wei Ji and Fan Ji look exactly the same. It's just that Wei Ji has a beauty mole in the center of her eyebrows. Both girls are bright types. On weekdays, there is this mother who is restrained, and never goes to the village to play with a group of girls. The third girl Dingjiang is beautiful and has a high heart, and the dead girl is not afraid of death. And the most clever.

The second child went to the toilet. The third child went to chop firewood. Pearl was thinking about this family in her heart. Now the family has eight taels of silver. There are still two hundred taels that the old man put and never took them out, but the old man said that he lost money in business. Everyone was disappointed. Pearl was thinking about her youngest son's marriage and the dowry of the four girls. It's a big problem!

When I first married my eldest daughter-in-law. The conditions of the family are just right, and the dowry of fifty taels of silver was given, and the other party also made up twenty taels back, and added some things, the value of the dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law is also fifty taels, and the two of them should have seventy taels of silver in their hands. Because she saw that the gold bracelet on her eldest daughter-in-law's wrist was gone. Although the second daughter-in-law had poor family conditions at that time, she also made up fifty taels. The Meng family is an honest family, although the family is not rich enough, but the person is still good, and he gave ten taels of silver and jewelry and other items to the escort, and there are about forty taels of silver. The third child has already been married, and it was supposed to be married next fall, but the other party's daughter is only fourteen this year, and it will be fifteen years after the new year. But now it seems that I have to find someone to talk to, and this dowry can't be bad. In addition to the dowry and jewelry, the two daughters-in-law are a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a pair of silver hairpins.

The original money in the family was all used to buy medicine, and now there is only that. The fourth girl, Jing Jiang, came over and said, "Mother, while there is no one now, show us!" ”

Pearl thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing to show you, I'm going to take it out anyway." ”

I opened the cabinet and took out two large packages from it, and the four girls surrounded them, these two packages, which were originally filled with some old fabrics and clothes, as well as some embroidery, such as hijabs, backs, fans and interstitial screens. There are also some purses and embroidered handkerchiefs. It's just that the embroidery craftsmanship is medium to high, but the fabric used is really average. Although those old clothes are good materials, they have been too long. There is also a piece of jade pendant, which is not a rare thing, but it is estimated that there are some reasons, but now I can't remember it, it is estimated that the original Liu family deliberately closed the memory of this jade pendant.

Now, when the four girls opened the package, they were all surprised to grow their mouths, each of them was very delicate, the fabrics were exquisite, and some of them were embroidered with gold thread. There are also handkerchiefs, fans, interstitial screens, six flower screens of transparent yarn, a large interstitial screen, which is a tiger head embroidered with transparent yarn, just like the real thing. There are also fabrics for skirts, embroidered with phoenixes wearing peonies, butterflies wearing flowers, pomegranate red, roses, peony flowers, peacock feathers, etc., a total of eight embroidered fabrics. If this is made into clothes, I don't know how beautiful it is, and the yarn is not ordinary, and you can faintly see the golden glitter in the sun. The brocade turned out to be a flash forged, pearlescent, and colorful. Especially the bright red and garnet red, and the turquoise cloth, it is really beautiful.

Er Ya Fan Ji looked at the pearl and said, "Mother, are you planning to sell these?" ”

"Yes, your father needs nutrition now, and he needs to prepare a dowry for your third brother. I'm afraid the marriage is going to be advanced. If it is in advance, we will give more dowry on our side. Now these things can only be sold first. ”

Pearl took out another package from it and put it aside, and the four girls Jing Jiang secretly opened it and saw that it was all white, and she didn't ask much. There are also several packages inside. Wei Fu took out the largest one and set it aside. Then he pulled out a box, which contained a silk headband and another small box containing four pairs of earrings. A few girls were very happy. Each person has a pair of headbands with silk flowers, but each person's color is different, four girls, one person and one pair, and it just so happens that the four girls are combed with double buns. These silver earrings are all simple ear rings, for fear that the ears and eyes will die. After all, it takes three years to keep filial piety!

Seeing that the four sisters are wearing old clothes, it can be seen that they have not worn new clothes for a long time. The big package that Pearl took out at the end was for them to make clothes. It's just that winter is coming soon, and if you want to do it, you have to make cotton clothes. The thin ones can make do, but the thick ones should be paid attention to. Thinking that there were two daughters-in-law, it was not too much, so I put two darker hair bands for them.

After putting the things away, Pearl went to the kitchen, and saw that the old hen had begun to cook in the crockpot, and Pearl took out some spices from her purse and put them in the crockpot, and then fastened the crockpot in a large bowl. Then ask Zheng to go and get some cabbage back. Wash it and wait to put it in the chicken broth. (To be continued.) )
