Xu Weiqiu picked up the copper plate and counted it, and then took out the hairpin.

Xu Xiaoke took it back with a cold face: "Hmph, what's the big deal about making two stinky money, I'm sorry!" With that, she turned away in a huff.

Xu Weiqiu walked out of the stove room with the soup in one hand and the soup in the other, and said indifferently: "Xu Xiaoke, go tell your mother and sister-in-law that it's time to eat." ”

Xu Xiaoke glanced back at her, and this time, her eyes widened as if she had discovered a new continent: "Hey, Xu Weiqiu, what is growing on your face, it's disgusting......"

Xu Weiqiu didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned around and brought the soup into the house.

Xu Lian, the head of the Xu family, is a scholar, in addition to being able to write two words, he can't carry it on his shoulders or carry it in his hands.

Later, Xu Lian relied on his connections to find a clerical job in the county government, although the salary was not much, but at least he had a stable income.

However, the county government is far away from home, and Xu Lian can only go home three or five times a month.

The father of the new daughter-in-law, Hongyan, is a blacksmith and opened an iron shop in the county, and Xu Wei followed his father-in-law to learn art after getting married, and it will take several days to come back.

The Xu family often has five women at home, chattering and arguing all day long, and the neighbors are used to seeing each other.

At this moment, the five women were gathered around a table, and Rong's eyes kept looking at Xu Weiqiu, but the light in her room was too dim, and she didn't notice it, and only then did she see Xu Weiqiu's face covered with pockmarks.

"Wei Qiu, what's wrong with your face?"

"Nothing." Xu Weiqiu was too lazy to explain, so he took a bite of food and ate it.

Xu Xiaoke stared at the pockmarks on her face, and said in a weird manner: "If your face is so disgusting, I'm not afraid that others will lose your appetite when you see it." ”

Xu Weiqiu glanced at her: "Who made you stare at me?" I can't help it if you insist on using my face to serve the food yourself. ”

Xu Xiaoke immediately put down his chopsticks: "Xu Weiqiu, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't go out and be embarrassed with your respectful face, people who don't know still think that there is a leper woman in our family." ”

When Zhang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke, don't dare to talk nonsense if you can eat rice." Wei Qiu just accidentally ate peanuts, and it will be fine in a few days. ”

Hearing this, Rong glanced at Zhang's family: "Wei Qiu, what your sister said is not entirely wrong, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet and shows up outside all day long, I don't know how many rumors there are in the village, and our Xu family also wants to be faced." In this way, don't go out in the future, I told you a mother-in-law's house, and recently you will stay at home and wait for the man to come and hire. ”

It was the first time that the Zhang family had heard about this, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Told Wei Qiu about his protégé?" How come I don't know, where is this mother-in-law's house? ”

"Not far away, it's next door to Jiutou Village, surnamed Li. The introducer was the matchmaker's good aunt, and the child's father also agreed. ”

Zhang wanted to ask, but when she heard her say that her husband had nodded and agreed, it was not good to say anything more.

Xu Weiqiu, who was on the side, frowned: "I didn't plan to get married so early." ”

When Rong Shi heard this, his face immediately fell: "Xu Weiqiu, you are fifteen years old, look at these ten miles and eight townships, is there any girl who is still not married and lazy in her mother's family when she is fifteen years old?" ”

"In short, don't be busy, I won't get married, I'll make my own decisions about the major events of my life, and I don't have to worry about you."

"You ......." Rong was so angry with her that he grabbed his chopsticks and smashed them in front of Xu Weiqiu.

Xu Weiqiu stopped talking with a cold face, she was very tired and hungry after a day's work, she didn't have the energy to deal with her anymore, she just wanted to have a good meal, she put a little food in the bowl, and walked outside the door with the bowl to eat.

Rong's voice came from the rear: "It's really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, since ancient times, which marriage event is not the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how did our Xu family have such a deviant seed, Xu Weiqiu, let me tell you, once the man's side is settled, you have to marry if you don't marry." ”

Xu Xiaoke looked outside the door and said to Rong's: "Mother, people have already gone away, so don't waste your tongue and eat." While speaking, she flipped through the dish in front of her with chopsticks, and added very dissatisfied: "What is this fried, it's all green leaves, am I a sheep or a cow?" How can people eat it without any meat at all? ”

Rong also frowned, she looked up at Zhang and said, "Yes, isn't there a lot of bacon left over from the wedding banquet at home?" ”

Zhang hurriedly explained: "Wei Cheng took the little bacon left over from the banquet, and he said that he would take it to honor his father-in-law." ”

As soon as he heard this, Rong raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter-in-law, but didn't say anything more. Hongyan ate silently with her eyes down, and didn't say a word from beginning to end, but she held a grudge against the Zhang family in her heart.

During the meal, Zhang's coughed a few times from time to time, Hongyan glanced at her, and reminded in a very unkind tone: "Erniang, pay attention, this meal is full of your spittle stars, how can people eat it?" ”

Zhang hurriedly said goodbye to her, but he knew in his heart that this new daughter-in-law was deliberately picking on her own reason.

She's cowardly, but not stupid.

This Hongyan is docile on the surface, but in fact she is also a snob, when she first entered the door, she was kind to everyone in the family; After waiting for a few days and finding out the situation at home, he was obviously not as polite as before when he spoke to himself and Wei Qiu.

----------

That night, Xu Weiqiu was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she was very sleepy, she just wanted to sleep beautifully, but the people sleeping next to her kept moving there, making the bed board rattle.

Xu Weiqiu ignored her, and after a pillar of incense, she was still moving. Xu Weiqiu couldn't help but say out loud anymore: "Xu Xiaoke, can you stop tossing, how can you sleep when you move around like this to make the bed rattle?" ”

Xu Xiaoke was reluctant when he heard this: "What's the matter, I can't sleep and it's in the way of you." ”

"You sleep so much at noon, you definitely can't sleep at night." I heard Erniang say that the mother and daughter went into the house to sleep after lunch every day, and slept for an hour or two.

"Who said I went to bed at noon?" Xu Xiaoke sat up straight all of a sudden: "My mother and I do needlework every day, you think this family is just you diligent." Also, this is my bedroom, I can do whatever I like, what qualifications do you have to say about me. ”

Xu Weiqiu didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned over and turned his back to her.

I originally slept in the ear room behind the East Wing, and after Xu Wei got married, the East Wing Room became the marriage room for the young couple, and this ear room naturally couldn't continue to live.
