"Second brother, your eldest brother has been away from home for almost three months, why is this conscription so long? Didn't you say up to one month before you signed up? Do you know where your eldest brother is in servitude? Why don't you take a leave of absence to see him? Mother's heart, he hasn't let go since he left home, for fear of something bad. ”

Under the eaves of a low adobe house, a thin woman who was only thirty-six years old but had a wrinkled face said to her second son with a sad face.

She's not really worried that the eldest son can't beat a fart with three sticks.

It was not only her eldest who went to serve in the village, and everyone did not come back, thinking that the construction period was relatively long this time, so there was nothing to worry about.

She was really annoyed with the eldest daughter-in-law, why did she fall in love with such a dead mother-in-law in the first place.

People are lazy and greedy, they can't do anything, they don't have anything left, and the surplus food at home is about to be eaten up by her.

Scold her a few words, she is more reasonable than you, saying that she saved three zhang of silk cloth and a stone of grain for her family in her husband's service, otherwise the surplus food at home would have been empty.

Angry, the woman picked up the fire stick and wanted to teach the lazy daughter-in-law a lesson, but the lazy daughter-in-law's body was really eaten, and she snatched the fire stick in her hand with a backhand, and cried and rushed to fight her army:

"I can't live this day! The mother-in-law is going to beat her daughter-in-law to death! Why am I so miserable! On the day of marriage, the man went to serve the conscription for this family, and the new daughter-in-law was widowed when she entered the door, and she was tortured by her mother-in-law, woo woo...... What kind of sin did I create in my last life, and I was trampled so badly in this life......"

The neighbors looked over through the fence wall and pointed at Xu, who was a mother-in-law.

Xu, who has always been good-tempered, was so angry that he almost turned his back on him.

She was wrong!

She shouldn't have found this mother-in-law for the boss.

originally thought that the boss had a wooden temperament, and it was easy to suffer, so he could marry a spicy daughter-in-law to live in this family.

If you marry a gentle and petty person, you don't know how to talk back if you are bullied by others, and if you have a child in the future, won't the whole family be cowardly? What a shame for the old Cui family.

So the matchmaker inquired three times or four times, and finally found out that the second girl of the Xu family in Meihua Village in the next town has a pungent temperament, and she has never seen her suffer since she was a child; The person is also very blessed, the butt is very good, and the Cui family is satisfied with the eldest son.

As a result, as soon as the marriage came into contact with the door, it was spicy, but it was too spicy, like a hob meat.

Less than five days after the new daughter-in-law entered the door, she dared to fight with her mother-in-law.

After winning, he snatched the door key of the stove cabinet and warehouse, and the grain of last year was hidden in it.

From then on, she decided what the family ate.

She herself wants to eat white noodles to make white noodles, and wants to eat rice and steamed rice, but others can only gnaw wild vegetables and rice bran nests.

Whenever there is something good in the house, she pulls it into her own house, and feeds herself like a steamed bun, and the rest of the family is as thin as a bamboo pole.

How satisfied I was when I got married, and how much I regretted it at this moment.

"Boss! It's my mother who can't live with you! ”

The more Cui thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he sat under the eaves and whimpered and wiped his tears.

The second child, Cui Zhonggui, is also at a loss for this hob meat sister-in-law.

He was only two years younger than his brother, and he should have gone for this hard labor.

But he was lucky, two years ago, he went to the town to find work, helped an old man who was injured by a carriage, and sent people to his home, only to know that the old man was an account room, and saw that Cui Erxin was kind and clever, so he took him as an apprentice.

After two years of apprenticeship with the bookkeeper, he was recommended by the old bookkeeper, and at the beginning of the year, he took over the work of the old bookkeeper and became the bookkeeper of a rice shop in the town.

When this period of conscription was dispatched, he happened to receive the first month's salary, and begged the shopkeeper for two months, and begged the old lady to buy three zhang of silk cloth, plus a stone of corn, and substituted it for service, and escaped this hard labor.

But Cui Da was not so lucky, and his family couldn't come up with more money to buy substitute silk cloth, so he could only serve hard labor.

Cui Er quietly stuffed the few copper plates left after paying off the advance salary to the old lady, asked the old lady to save up, and went back to marry him a girl from the town.

The country girl is too strong, and he can't help but tremble when he thinks of his sister-in-law with hob meat.

No way!

He has to work hard to save money and ask his wife to marry him a girl from the town.

The little girl of the shopkeeper of the paper shop is good.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll ask someone to inquire when I go back to see where my eldest brother is serving. I heard that the conscription of the imperial court this time was divided into several places, and if it was to build roads and bridges in other counties, it would be fine, but I was afraid that I would only ......"

"Is there more tiring work than building roads and bridges?" As soon as Cui Shi put away the money bag, he heard this sentence and felt a sigh in his heart.

Cui Zhonggui pursed his lips: "I also heard from the shopkeeper that a group of servants are going to be taken to the north to repair the city wall." ”

"My miserable son!"

Cui Shi couldn't help but howl, and his heart was miserable.

The boss has not come back for a long time, and the eldest daughter-in-law is so virtuous, what can she do!

Not only her, but also a pair of immature children underneath are also angry.

The nine-year-old son had to get up before dawn to carry water and chop wood for the family, and he had to work in the fields during the day. The seven-year-old widow was sent to do laundry, cook, and clean the house, and when she was done, she had to go to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

This time, Liu Haozi, who entrusted the ox cart to drive the ox cart, called the second child back, in addition to asking him about the boss's servitude, he also wanted to rely on him to take back the stewardship.

But the second child is useless, let him stand in the yard and call out the eldest daughter-in-law, he can't bear it, and the hob meat is still hiding in the house and sleeping lazily.

If people don't come out, how can they hand over the key?

The more Cui Shi thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, looking at the entire Dawa Village, whose mother-in-law deserved to be so humble as her?

It's not that she didn't want to divorce this hob meat daughter-in-law, the last time her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, she blurted out, but she was scolded back by this dead mother-in-law, saying that if the Cui family dared to divorce her, she would dare to find someone to sell her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Cui Shi was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention the matter of divorce on behalf of his son.

The eldest has not returned from service, the second child works in the town, and usually does not come back, and she is a widow at home dragging two children less than ten years old, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, she is really afraid of this daughter-in-law.

How do you live this day!

"Bang-"

The door to the east wing opened.

Hob meat ...... No, Xu Yin walked out of the house.

Cui, who was halfway through the howl, instantly retracted.

She hurriedly glanced at the second child, asked him to be fierce, took out the courage of an adult man, struck while the iron was hot, and helped her mother take back the housekeeping rights.

"Sister-in-law." Cui Zhonggui met Xu Yin's smiling eyes and stammered.

Choi closed his eyes in despair.

Xu Yin looked around at the small courtyard of the farmhouse, which was full of poverty, stretched her waist, and walked towards the thatched house in the backyard: "The second brother hasn't come back for a long time, stay at home to eat at noon?" ”

"No, no, I'm still in a hurry to go back to take inventory."

Cui Zhonggui found an excuse and left in a hurry.

Leaving the thin and weak Cui family, he was alone with his fierce daughter-in-law who was as lazy as hob meat...... Despair struck me again.
