Chapter 20: Evil Mother-in-law?
What was in the small cloth bag turned out to be black noodles.
Ji Changhe didn't understand what the Yue family meant, and Ji Yuejiao was also a little confused, was the eldest sister's mother-in-law in a hurry to send the poor relatives who came to the door, or did she really want to help them?
Everyone didn't understand Yue's behavior, but Yue said to himself: "In-laws, I am a woman who pulls Da Jian'er, and there is not much left in the family. When Jian'er married Yueqing, although we didn't do a big deal, I didn't have a short moonlight as much as others. ”
Yue's words are true, although Ji Yueqing did not have the pomp of ten miles of red makeup when she got married, she was also greeted by a high-headed horse leading a sedan chair, and I don't know how many girls in the village envy Ji Yueqing.
"I also know that life is difficult, and if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get by, my in-laws wouldn't have brought their children into the city. Jian'er is not angry, these catties of black noodles are still saved by the family. I won't keep you either, so if your in-laws take it, go back quickly, and the children will be able to eat a full meal. I can't afford to give more. Yue's words were hard, and they sounded like a send-off.
Ji Changhe didn't expect the Yue family to say this, originally he wanted to borrow some grain to try his luck on Shili Peak, but Xiao Gillian found a yam, and he naturally wouldn't watch his daughter's family tighten their belts to live, so he would go into the city to deliver the yam as soon as possible.
However, the arrival of the catastrophe year, it is not to blame others for thinking that they came to fight the autumn wind, Ji Changhe sighed and pushed the small cloth bag back, "My family, I came to the city this time to come to see the Qing girl and send her something, I didn't think about coming to ask for food, we have to go to see Ping'er after sitting for a while." ”
"Mother, don't be like this." Ji Yueqing's face was flushed with anxiety, she was afraid that she would really not be able to open the pot at home, and on the other hand, she was worried that her mother-in-law's words would hurt her father's heart. Looking at the Yue family with a straight face and Ji Changhe with embarrassment on his face, Ji Yueqing was so anxious that she was about to cry, blaming her for not doing anything.
Ji Yueqing should have had some silver in her hand.
When she got married, she was just in time for Ji Yuping's academy to study, and the Ji family emptied their family funds and only made up three taels of silver and a silver hairpin to press the bottom of the box for her. However, the dowry given by the Yue family, the Wang family was not greedy at all, only a rooster was left to beg for the lottery, and the rest was brought back to the Yue family by Ji Yueqing. In addition, she didn't make a penny at her mother-in-law's house, and before the drought, she saved a lot of money by doing some work for the embroidery room, but her mother-in-law said that it was not easy for her to pull her husband, so she asked for the silver.
Ji Yueqing is not a person who loves money, her mother-in-law opened her mouth, and she didn't leave any private money for herself. But who knew that it would not be long before there was a drought, she didn't have any in her hands, and Yue Jian's Yulu struggled to maintain a family of three without starvation, so she was cheeky enough to ask her mother-in-law for some food to send home.
The bride's rule that she can't go back to the door for a year tied Ji Yueqing's feet, and although she was worried about the situation at home, she couldn't go home to see. Since the drought, Yue Jian has lived more than one day in the county government, and he has not found time to go to Weizi Village for more than half a year.
Fortunately, after the food was delivered, her father came to the city to see her once, brought her a hare skin, and repeatedly told her not to send food to the house. In addition, when Ji Yuping, the eldest brother who worked as a small accountant in Changning City, came to see her, he told her that everything was fine at home, and she believed it every time, if it wasn't for her father who brought little Gillian to the door this time, she really thought that everything was fine at home.
If everything is fine at home, how could someone as good-looking as Daddy bring little Gillian to the door to find her? Ji Yueqing has never been as angry as she is now, if she had been a little tougher and could have left some silver in her hand, she would not have been able to take out even a pound of rice when her father brought her little sister to the door.
Since the little mother taught her to be gentle and courteous, before getting married, the mother has been telling her how difficult it is for her mother-in-law, after getting married, she wants to be filial to her mother-in-law, and she has done everything her mother said. After getting married, although her mother-in-law did not grind her in food and clothing, she often found fault with her in some small things, and she always accepted it and laughed at her mother-in-law's bad words.
Could it be that her filial piety is wrong?
Ji Yuejiao is not really a six-year-old child after all, so she can naturally feel her eldest sister's mood swings. She and her father came to the door to send things to the eldest sister, if they came to the door, it would be more than worth the loss if they aggravated the conflict between the sister and the Yue family.
Ji Yuejiao hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Ji Yueqing's hand and said, "Sister, my father and I are here to send you something." Dad caught a rabbit yesterday, and I left some rabbit meat for you. ”
Ji Changhe took out the rabbit meat wrapped in the leaves of the big tree and the elbow in the casserole from the back basket, fortunately, it is now October, and the rabbit meat will not be bad if it is cooked and left overnight.
Seeing that Ji Changhe took out so many good things, the tears in Ji Yueqing's eyes did not fall, could it be that everything was really fine at home, and my father really took his second brother and little sister into the city just to see her?
Ji Yuejiao looked at her sad eldest sister and secretly sighed in her heart, her eldest sister was really pampered by Wen Yan, and she had an innocent girl in her bones.
Father and mother are good people, although the eldest sister is the eldest daughter in the family, she has not gone through wind and rain, and she is naturally soft, so she acts with a little softness. However, it is enough to see that after the eldest sister got married, her brother-in-law Yue Jian took good care of her, otherwise in the disaster year, her sister would not still have a bit of immortal aura that is not touched.
Speaking of which, although the three sisters of the Ji family are somewhat similar between their eyebrows and eyes, they really have their own strengths when it comes to personality. If you really want to investigate it carefully, the pungent second sister Ji Yuening in the family looks more like a big sister than Ji Yueqing in front of her.
However, Ji Yuejiao does not hate Ji Yueqing's character, there are thousands of flowers in the world, all kinds of flowers have the beauty of all kinds of flowers, her second sister is spicy, it is a thorny rose; The eldest sister is gentle, she is fragrant jasmine, and rose jasmine is her Ji Yuejiao's delicate flowers, since she is a sister of the family, she has to protect it well.
As for the Yue family, Ji Yuejiao was a little unable to see through it. If she was really a wicked mother-in-law, she should have sent them away when they entered the door, but the Yue clan welcomed them in and poured water and noodles for them. But why does the Yue family prefer to say a good thing, and give something that is not good?
But in general, the mother-in-law of the eldest sister gives her a much better impression than the fake Zhu Xiaohe. Although her father and mother are not people who love to intrigue with others, they can agree to the eldest sister marrying into the Yue family, they are not always rushing to push the eldest sister into the fire pit, right? Could there be something hidden in this?
Ji Yuejiao turned her eyes to stare at Yue's family, as if she wanted to see something from her.
"Wow, third sister-in-law, you have food and drink to greet others, but you don't call me?" A slightly flirtatious male voice sounded.
The door of the courtyard was rudely pushed open, but I didn't know who the uninvited guest was.
