Chapter 212: Mother-in-law with a changed mind
Xiaoxiao was silent when she heard this.
"The reason why my mother used to worry about you remarrying was because I was afraid that I would be old and blind, and if I had no one to take care of me, I would starve to death." The mother-in-law continued, "But now it's different, Mr. Qin has let the family have ten taels of silver, and they can always make money, and the family will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future." ”
"The old woman doesn't have to be afraid of starving to death in the future, so if you want to remarry, my mother agrees." Mother-in-law said.
"You actually agreed to my remarriage?" Xiaoxiao was shocked in her heart, it seemed that she really found out her conscience, and said, "But, I am your daughter-in-law, how can there be a mother-in-law in the world who persuades her daughter-in-law to remarry?" ”
"When you got married, my son was only twelve years old, what kind of real husband and wife are you?" The blind mother-in-law said, "And I have also figured it out these days, you have taken care of me for ten years and kept festivals for my son for ten years, which is already considered to be the most benevolent and righteous to me."
"Our Lu family, we owe you too much."
It seems that she is older, and she can be regarded as living and understanding.
Though the eyes are blind, the heart is not blind.
"I ...... I...... Forget it, I still want the archway of chastity. Xiaoxiao said, "I have been observing the festival for ten years, and if I remarry, my previous efforts will be in vain." ”
"When you are seventy or eighty years old, what's the use of asking for a chastity archway? And at most, the village will set up a memorial arch for you, and you still want the state government to set up one for you? The blind mother-in-law said, "This life is too short. ”
"For the sake of a torii, you have to live a life of no one and no ghosts, which is too cost-effective."
"No matter what, my daughter-in-law still doesn't plan to remarry." Xiaoxiao is a little duplicitous.
However, the blind mother-in-law heard it and said, "How can I listen to your words and be a little insincere? Mother can feel it, you have a good impression of Mr. Qin. ”
"Mother, I can arrange it, but don't arrange Mr. Qin." Xiaoxiao is colorful.
Although the villagers often joked about her and Qin Yu, everyone knew that it was just a joke.
Qin Yu didn't have any courtesy towards her at all.
Villagers in backward areas often say some meat words when they have nothing to do, and they are very explicit, which is a sign of uncivility.
often jokes about this and that, and even jokes about my father-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But their eyes were bright, and they knew that what they were saying was false.
"How could my mother arrange Mr. Qin?" The blind mother-in-law said, "Although Mr. Qin doesn't ask for anything in return for helping us in Lujia Village, he is also a man. The reason why I didn't act degrading to you in the past was simply because you had the Lord. ”
"And now, my mother has allowed you to marry, and you are no different from other young girls."
"Who is Mr. Qin? I'm a widow, so don't insult me by pulling me with my husband. Xiaoxiao said.
"That's it, my mother allows you to be nice with others, but only for Mr. Qin." The mother-in-law said, "Whether it's a concubine for him, or a dewy couple, my mother doesn't ask." ”
"You don't care when the dew is a couple?" Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
I thought to myself that this old woman had really been poisoned by Mr. Qin.
Of course, Mr. Zhongqin is poisoned, why is she the only one?
"Our Lujia Village owes Mr. too much, and our family also owes you too much, so what do you want to do, the old woman will pretend not to know." The blind mother-in-law said, "Go boldly and get along with your husband, and do what you young people like to do." ”
"You and my son are not real husband and wife, but they have taken care of the old woman for ten years, and my husband takes special care of the old woman, and some time ago he sent rice and meat, and the old woman is not an ungrateful person."
"Only then will you know what a real woman is."
"You think too highly of me, too." Xiaoxiao said, "What kind of person is Mr.?" I don't deserve it. ”
Although he said this, his heart became excited.
The blind mother-in-law is willing to let her go and make her a free man!?
At the same time, I was also surprised that my mother-in-law was so feudal and stubborn, an antique, and a person who regarded a woman's chastity as her life. actually changed her mind because of Mr. Qin.
This shows how great Mr. Qin's magic is.
No matter how old-fashioned and stubborn a person is, he may change because of his husband.
Even the mother-in-law's mind has changed, let alone the other villagers.
In the past, he often said in class that we should emancipate our minds and not let feudal thinking imprison human nature. Mother-in-law is doing this today, is it possible that she will not let the feudal idea of observance imprison my humanity?
……
A few days later, it's weekend again.
Qin Yu came to the village, intending to see the situation of the villagers.
See if there is any change in their lives after they have the money.
As soon as I walked into the village, I found that the villagers had returned from the market, and every family was smiling.
In addition to bringing back food, each carried a few rolls of brand-new cloth in his hand.
When villagers don't buy clothes outside, they usually buy cloth and make it themselves, or let the village tailor do it. Of course, it is ugly to do it yourself, and it is not as good as that of a professional tailor.
At the same time, the masons at the head of the village also began to get busy, and began to dig yellow mud to make bricks and tiles.
Yellow clay is made into brick models, dried in the sun, and fired in a brick kiln, which can then be used to build houses.
Seeing that the lives of the villagers had improved, Qin Yu also felt a lot of satisfaction in his heart.
The tailor Lu Dabiao's house.
The house was already full of cloth that the villagers had just bought, and it seemed that there were quite a few villagers who asked him to make new clothes.
The cloth is colorful, and the fabric is a third-class silk and linen blended fabric.
In the past, the fabrics they wore were all homespun sixth-grade products, which were very uncomfortable to wear. It is not warm in winter, it does not dissipate heat in summer, and the texture is extremely rough, and it is easy to hurt the skin.
Now that I'm making money, I can wear good fabrics.
"Sir, here?" When Lu Dabiao saw Qin Yu coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile and respectfully.
"I'll see what kind of clothes you've made for everyone." Qin Yu said.
"Most of the folks asked me to do this." Lu Dabiao pointed to a model dress and said.
The model clothes hanging on the wall are very old semi-long shirts.
"This kind of clothing is inconvenient to wear, and not only is the waste fabric very hot to wear in summer. And it's not easy to wash, so I might as well make it the one I wear. Qin Yu pointed to the round-neck T-shirt on his body and said.
Because he knew that they might be remnants of the Ming Dynasty, he planned to change their dress habits.
Let everything in Lujia Village be in line with the civilized world outside.
Moreover, it was indeed inconvenient for the peasants to wear semi-long shirts.
"The style that the gentleman wears is indeed much more convenient." The patriarch was also present at the time, carefully looked at Qin Yu's clothes and pulled them, and said, "Just follow Mr.'s instructions and make them all into this convenient style." ”
"It's better to change the pants to sweatpants as well." Qin Yu said.
