"Okay, you dead girl, then you're not hard-hitting, why didn't I have my third child? If your dad hadn't insisted on taking you home, you thought I wanted to come and pick you up? Kim pointed to her nose and scolded.

When Jin heard Xu Shanmei say this, she couldn't help but scold her, in fact, she really didn't want Xu Shanmei to go home, but her eldest sister told her that if she took Xu Shanmei home, she could ask for another bride price when she got married in two years, so she came to pick her up.

"No, it was you who said that this baby was pregnant with a daughter, and you deliberately drank cold water to rub your belly, I heard it clearly outside the door." Xu Shanmei shouted.

In these days in the Yang Mansion, Xu Shanmei was thinking about why her father, who was so good, why did she sell her, she has always been filial and sensible to her father and stepmother since she was a child, why did she end up with such a fate?

Later, a mother-in-law who burned a fire in the kitchen told her that her stepmother must not be able to tolerate her, deliberately saying that her life was hard, and then prodding her father to sell her, first, she could get rid of her, a thorn in her eye, and second, she could earn a sum of money for nothing.

As soon as Xu Shanmei's words came out, everyone in the village began to talk about it, and some people said that it was no wonder that Jin was not happy when she was pregnant during that time, and she looked like she ignored everyone when she saw her; Some people say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and Xu Jiaxiang will not treat his daughter as a person if he marries Xu Xian.

The villagers talked a lot, Xu Jiaxiang was ashamed when he heard it, he had regretted selling his daughter, and now he heard his daughter say that her daughter-in-law's miscarriage was killed by herself, so she hurriedly went to see the Jin family and asked, "Yan'er, did you really kill that child?" ”

At that time, the child who was lost had been formed, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a baby girl, and Jin was still glad to come at that time, but when the man asked her, she absolutely couldn't admit it, so she just said stiffly: "You listen to her Hu Qin, she is hard-fated, and she gives my child a life, if you don't complain about me at home, do you think I want to take her home?" ”

Xu Shanmei was reluctant to bear the black pot of hard life, and said that the children of the Jin family were deliberately flowed by themselves, and seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the village chief Tian Youren shouted loudly and told them women not to speak, he only asked Xu Jiaxiang one.

"You want to take your daughter back now?" Tian Youren asked him.

"Yes, I own my own daughter, how can I live in someone else's house." Xu Jiaxiang lowered his head and spoke.

Tian Youren continued to ask the dog baby and the fourth grandmother, and said, "I heard that the Xu family girl was ransomed by the two of you for forty taels of silver, are you two willing to ask her to go back?" ”

Brother Gouwa shook his head vigorously, saying no, the fourth grandmother saw that he was anxious and couldn't speak, so she stood up and said on his behalf: "Village chief, the good sister is the daughter of his Xu family, yes, but she is also the daughter-in-law of my Liu family, the two of them have been married to the baby since they were children, which one in the village doesn't know?" ”

Xu Jiaxiang raised his head and wanted to justify, but the fourth grandmother didn't give him a chance, and opened her mouth to continue: "It stands to reason that my father wants to take his daughter home, I shouldn't stop it, but what if you take her home and sell her in two days?" ”

Xu Jiaxiang swore to the sky, promising that he would never sell his daughter again, the fourth grandmother did not look at him, and still said to the village chief: "Although my family spent forty taels to redeem her back, I have already told her that as long as she is willing to go back to her own house, I and the dog baby will never stop her." But if she doesn't want to go, no one will want to take her from my house! ”

At this time, Xu Shanmei stood beside the fourth grandmother, wiped her tears and said to the village chief: "Village chief, I am no longer the Xu family, since my father sold me to the house, my father-daughter relationship with him has been broken since then." I swore that whoever ransomes me back, I will be a family member, and I will never go back! From now on, I am the daughter-in-law of Brother Dog, and I will not go anywhere! ”

Xu Shanmei was originally a girl with some self-pity, but after the experience of the Yang Mansion, and finally returned to the village, Xu Shanmei's mood changed a lot, and her personality did not become stronger, and she did not want others to control her own destiny.

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were quiet, Xu Jiaxiang was full of defeat, he didn't dare to see his daughter again, and was about to turn his head to go home, but the Jin family was unwilling to admit defeat, and said with a waist in his hand: "No, whoever marries the man doesn't give the bride price, I don't care, if you want to stay in the Liu family, you have to take twenty taels of bride price." ”

Jin's abacus is very good, if his Liu family can take out twenty taels, this dead girl will not take it if she doesn't take it, and she will be upset when she really takes it home.

Jin's greed is too obvious, many people in the village can't stand it, and they accuse her of selling her daughter, Jin's as if she can't hear it, sit on the ground, and say: "I don't care, if I don't see twenty taels of silver, I will make trouble at your house every day!" ”

Liu Guiyuan saw that the root of her teeth was itching, and she really wanted to go up and scold her, but she had nothing to do with the Xu family, and she had no relationship with the fourth grandmother's family.

Sure enough, under Liu Guiyuan's gaze, Tian Youren finally made a move, he probably heard a few more people arguing, and he was already impatient, pointed at Xu Jiaxiang, and scolded: "Xu Jiaxiang, take care of your daughter-in-law, and if you spill indiscriminately, just go home for me!" ”

The village chief scolded, Jin didn't dare to move, Xu Jiaxiang lowered his head and walked to Jin's side, glared at her, and then dragged her up with a grunt, standing aside to listen to the village chief's decision.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, the village chief Tian Youren pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision, he first said to Xu Jiaxiang: "Xu Shanmei is your daughter, yes, but you have already sold her, it stands to reason that she is only related to you by blood, but there is no affiliation, if you want to take her home, it depends on whether she is willing or not." ”

Then he said to the fourth grandmother and the dog baby: "I ask you, do you redeem Xu Shanmei and come back, will you be a maidservant or a daughter-in-law?" ”

"Daughter-in-law!" Brother Dog stammered, but the word daughter-in-law said it quickly and loudly, which made the villagers laugh.

The village head, Tian Youren, nodded, satisfied with his reaction, and then said to the fourth grandmother: "Since you are a daughter-in-law, then your family should come out with an attitude, which new daughter-in-law enters the door and does not put wine for a treat?" ”

The village chief's meaning is to recognize Xu Shanmei's stay at the fourth grandmother's house, and the fourth grandmother will understand, and she is very happy: "Don't worry, the village chief, our family is short of money, and when we have saved enough money for a while, we must put a few tables and invite everyone to come over and be lively." ”

The fourth grandmother's popularity in the village has always been good, she said this, and immediately several women said hello to her, as well as two young men, whistling and making fun of the dog baby, and even Xu Shanmei blushed a little.

A farce, although it started a little absurdly, but under the wise decision of the village chief, it still ushered in a happy ending, Xu Jiaxiang and his daughter-in-law walked away, Xu Shanmei and the dog baby and the fourth grandmother who really treated her could finally live together.

Liu Guiyuan saw that the fourth grandmother's family was fine, so he stepped forward and said a few words of comfort to her, and then went back hand in hand with the eldest sister and the second sister.

I think that at the beginning, they were almost sold by Liu Chong, saying that they were sent to the house to see the world on an errand, but in fact, they were serving people as slaves and maids!

When she got home, Liu Lianzi was lying in the stroller crying, Liu Hongzao hurriedly picked her up and coaxed her, and said with annoyance: "It's all my fault, I patronize and go out to see the excitement, and Lianzi is crying in fear at home." ”

Liu Guiyuan stood on tiptoe to look at the lotus seed in the eldest sister's arms, the little guy cried loudly, but not a single tear fell, so he shook his head and said: "Eldest sister, don't be deceived by her, I recently found that the lotus seed has a heart, as long as we don't take her anywhere, she will cry when she comes back, or fake crying." ”

Liu Huahua was very curious, hurried over to look, I didn't know if Lianzi understood, so she immediately stopped crying, opened her black eyes, and looked at her second sister's face.

"Hey, it's true, the little lotus seed has become a sperm, and she will deceive people!" Liu Huahua pinched her face and said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, she is a little baby, what can she understand, she must be afraid at home alone, isn't it, little lotus seed?"

Liu Hongzao gently patted Liu Lianzi, and waited for her to close her eyes comfortably to sleep, then put her in the stroller sent by her uncle earlier, and continued to sit down and began to thread needles and threads, sewing a short undergarment for autumn wear.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, the wheat in the field has been planted, and there is no work at home and outside, as the eldest in the family, Liu Hongjube, began to sew autumn clothes for his three younger sisters, and of course there are cotton socks and cotton shoes.

Liu Guiyuan put a pair of cyan cotton socks on her feet, which felt quite comfortable, so she asked her eldest sister to sew three more pairs of cotton gloves, asking for the kind of clamshell fingerless gloves, which do not affect the movement of the fingers when they are worn, and when they are not working, the flip cover is untied, and it is still a complete pair of gloves.

"You're talking about the hand cage, how can the hand cage be flipped over, I haven't seen it before?" Liu Hongzao looked incomprehensible.

"Hand cage?"

Only then did Liu Guiyuan know that gloves in this period were not called hand cages, and the style of hand cages was somewhat different from later generations: first, the glove sleeve was generally only to the wrist, and the hand cage sleeve was longer, which could reach near the elbow;

Second, there are many styles of gloves such as five-finger independence, thumb independence, thumb and index finger independence, and there are only two types of hand cages: five-finger independence and thumb independence;

Third, the glove has a half-finger style, but the hand cage does not, it is either wrapped with five fingers independently but with all fingers, or four fingers combined with four fingers wrapped with the thumb divergent, anyway, there is no such thing as a separate finger.

Knowing this concept, Liu Guiyuan immediately thought of sewing gloves for sale, sewing full-finger gloves, split-finger gloves and fingerless gloves, of course, the least is the clamshell fingerless gloves.

Although the gloves are not foreign, they are the grandson of the hand cage, but it does not prevent Liu Guiyuan from updating the hand cage version 2.0!

Thinking of this, Liu Guiyuan naturally said: "Eldest sister, let's sew gloves, no, let's sew hand cages and sell them, I know which kind of sewing is both warm and convenient for activities, and it can be sold for a long time from now until the beginning of spring." ”

At this time, the gloves had no wool, could not be woven and could only be sewn, just like making clothes, using a single cloth in cold weather, and cotton silk and other things in the cold weather.

Ordinary people use cotton cloth and cotton wool, rich people use silk and cashmere, and some people also use animal fur, but Liu Guiyuan doesn't plan to make that kind of high-end gloves, she wants to make cheap products suitable for the common people and earn comfortable money.

Just do it, Liu Guiyuan said the half-fingered hand cage, Liu Hongjube gestured against the cotton cloth for a long time, two cuts, the fingers were sewn with inlays, and a half-fingered glove was born, I have to say, Liu Hongjuo's hand is skillful!
