Zhu Xiaohe slammed the bowl in her hand on the table, and Xia Daya, who was sitting opposite her, didn't dare to come out, for fear of annoying her mother, who really married her to the Cao carpenter.

Xia Zhuzi looked at the appearance of his mother-in-law, knowing that she was angry, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to persuade her to dissipate his anger after chattering for a long time, and turned into the back room to lose his temper with his wife. Aunt Xia is lying on the bed, with a smell that seems to be absent, she loves to be clean the most on weekdays, and she has to smear some osmanthus hair oil when combing her hair, where did she think that she would have a day when she would lie in bed and be tormented by her son and daughter-in-law.

Xia Zhuzi muttered a few words but it was not enough, and his voice became louder and louder, as if his sadness today was all his mother's fault, and Aunt Xia couldn't get up in one breath, coughing so much that tears fell out. Zhu Xiaohe said in a non-yin and yang manner: "What do you say is the use of her? After all, you are not your own mother, can you expect her to be dedicated to you? ”

Aunt Xia raised her finger and pointed at Xia Zhuzi, but she couldn't say a word for a long time. She married into the Xia family at the age of twenty-four and became Xia Zhuzi's stepmother. In the more than 20 years she has lived in the Xia family, she has first taken care of the dead old man, and then taken care of her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson, and has never had a day of leisure. For Xia Zhuzi, she didn't even have a child of her own, but who knew that when it came, her efforts were only exchanged for Xia Zhuzi's resentment.

She was unwilling, but she had nothing to do, and even her sorrow had no one to tell.

Aunt Xia hammered her legs, which were almost inintuitive, and wanted to hammer her legs to death and hammer herself to death, so that she would no longer have to face the cynicism of Xia Zhuzi and Zhu Xiaohe.

"Dead old woman, what are you doing? Is the old lady still wrong? Zhu Xiaohe was still angry, and smashed the bowl in his hand into Aunt Xia's room, and the stoneware bowl shattered, and the fragments collapsed all over the ground.

Xia Zhuzi looked at the debris on the ground distressedly, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”

"What? Distressed by a bowl? If you weren't useless, would the three of us still be thirsty and hungry here? Don't talk about dropping a bowl for you, the old lady will drop it for you, and you have to bear it! ”

"Daughter-in-law, I didn't mean that, I'm not afraid that you will hurt yourself."

"That's pretty much it."

"If I catch you secretly hiding money, I will let the pillar beat you to death." Zhu Xiaohe shook the chopsticks in his hand and said viciously to Aunt Xia.

Money? Aunt Xia smiled silently and bitterly, where does she still have money? Marrying into the Xia family, she brought the craft of midwifery, and with this skill, she was able to save her savings to tell Xia Zhuzi about her family after Xia Laohan's death.

Originally, she wanted to teach this craft to Zhu Xiaohe, but Zhu Xiaohe was afraid that she would not be able to do it because she was tired, so she could only give up. Over the years, most of the money she earned from delivering babies was subsidized to Xia Zhuzi and his wife, and the only private money she saved was also deceived by Zhu Xiaohe on the grounds of catching medicine for her.

Aunt Xia let out a long sigh, she had only been blind twice in her life. The first time was the widower Xia Laohan who was determined to marry his dead wife, and the second time was to tell Xia Zhuzi that Zhu Xiaohe was the daughter-in-law.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

Zhu Xiaohe looked at Aunt Xia who was lying on the bed and sighed for a long time, and she was angry. The dead old woman used to earn some money to bring back to supplement the family, so that she could live better than the other women in the village without doing farm work, but now she is lying on the bed with a broken leg, and every day she can only eat and pull, which is to cause her trouble.

Why can the Ji family eat rabbit meat, but she has to serve this dead old woman? She must live a good life and starve to death that group of hillbillies, Zhu Xiaohe thought.

"Come, pillar, I have something to say to you." Zhu Xiaohe beckoned to Xia Zhuzi and whispered a few words at him. Xia Zhuzi frowned and asked, "Can this be done, daughter-in-law?" If they knew, they would ......."

"You coward, how do you know if you don't try?"

"Okay, listen to my daughter-in-law."

Letting Zhu Xiaohe make waves at home, the Ji family has always been harmonious. Because of the yam found by Ji Yuejiao, only overnight, Ji Changhe, who originally wanted to go into the city to find his eldest daughter to get some dry food, suddenly lost his psychological burden. Ji Changhe filled some roasted yam in the back basket and prepared to bring it to Changning City to Ji Yueqing and Ji Yuping.

Ji Yuening divided the remaining rabbit meat into two parts, wrapped it in the leaves of the big tree, and put it in Ji Changhe's back basket. Their brothers and sisters have always had a good relationship, and no one will eat alone.

"Dad, I miss my big sister too." Ji Yuejiao hugged Ji Changhe's thigh and said coquettishly.

After half a month, she has only seen her eldest brother Ji Yuping, who is a small accountant in the county once, and her eldest sister Ji Yueqing, who has long been married, has always only heard of her name and has not seen her. But in the memory of the original body, the eldest sister Ji Yueqing is different from the second sister Ji Yuening, she is the most like the Wang family among the three sisters, she is gentle and always soft-spoken. Ji Yuejiao has long been curious about this big sister.

It's rare to have a full meal, even if he hasn't slept much all night, Ji Changhe feels that he is full of strength, he lowered his head and hugged Ji Yuejiao. "Speaking of which, our little Gillian hasn't seen Qing'er for more than a year."

"Yes, the last time Xiao Gillian saw Ah Qing, it was the day Ah Qing returned to the door three times." Wang responded.

"Is it okay for Dad to take Little Gillian to Changning City to see the eldest sister?" Ji Changhe gently put the broken hair on Ji Yuejiao's sideburns behind his ears, don't look at him as a rough man, he is always full of patience with his three daughters.

"Good!" Ji Yuejiao nodded heavily.

Changning City is thirty miles away from Weizi Village, even when there is no drought, Ji Changhe rarely takes his wife and children into the city, but today it is rare for the youngest daughter to propose to enter the city with him, and he will naturally not refuse.

"In that case, why don't we go to Changning City together to see Aqing and Heping'er." Ji Changhe proposed.

Wang and Ji Yuening shook their heads in unison, Wang was worried that his physical strength would be exhausted, and on the way back, his husband would not only have to take care of his little daughter, but also take care of himself. Ji Yuening was preoccupied with the yam field on the Qili slope, and was about to go to the mountain to guard it.

Seeing that Wang and Ji Yuening were reluctant to follow him to the city, Ji Changhe did not insist on it, "If it weren't for the drought, our family could have chartered a donkey cart to go into the city together." ”

"Dad, when the drought is over, let's buy a donkey. I'll drive and send people to the city every day, and I'll earn a lot of money. As soon as he heard Ji Changhe talk about the donkey cart, Ji Yuhua came to the spirit.

"Donkey, donkey, you haven't earned a copper plate, so you want to ask your father to buy you a donkey?" Ji Yuening is only more than a year younger than Ji Yuhua, and he can't see him full of nonsense on weekdays. Ji Yuhua opened his mouth, and Ji Yuening couldn't help but scold him back.

The Ji family packed up their things, Ji Changhe directly put Ji Yuejiao into his big back basket, the youngest daughter is still young, and it is still more than enough to put things in this back basket and sit on her.

At the entrance of Weizi Village, Xia Zhuzi was in a hurry, not knowing where to go.
