Chapter 32: Liu Mei's Teasing
Lao An's house is some distance away, and Xia Qiyue didn't want to get close to Lao An's house, so when she passed by the resting place of the patriarch's house, Liu Jiajia beckoned to her, and she walked over with her younger siblings naturally.
There was a large open space outside the city walls, but there was no shelter and there was no obstruction, so everyone put their unimportant luggage on the periphery of their homes, and then rested around food, water, women and children.
Xia Qiyue unconsciously looked at the past, almost all families are like this.
Shanbei Zhuangzi has a large population, but there are only more than 40 households when they are put together, so if they don't move around, the situation here in Xia Qiyue is clearly seen by the Lao An family not far away.
Liu Jiajia beckoned her to go to the innermost part of their rest, but Xia Qiyue waved her hand and refused, she chose to lean against the patriarch's house, but it was also three meters away.
After all, she has a fifteen-year-old sister, the world values reputation, the patriarch's family has three sons who have not married, and the second son is the same age as her sister, she has to help her sister protect her reputation.
When she arrives at the place where she settles, when her life is smooth, she will marry her sister Fengguang.
Xia Qiyue had already packed up a piece of the ground and came out to take out all the futons and spread them, and then the five of them sat down.
And the old An family, which is separated by three families from here, is facing the patriarch's house, and he can see it clearly.
But Mrs. An is lying there with her eyes closed, and she doesn't know if she is asleep.
The others were sitting or lying, only Liu Mei, after looking intently at Xia Qiyue's side for a while, she quietly came to Ge Mingyu, who was putting her two-year-old son to sleep.
Because Yang Qiuju usually doesn't deal with her a lot of the time, Liu Mei likes to find Ge Mingyu a little more when she has something.
"Third brother and sister..."Liu Mei whispered, Ge Mingyu looked up, and saw that it was the sister-in-law who came over, and originally wanted to move a place for the sister-in-law to sit, but there was only so much luggage in their three rooms, and the four of them had already occupied all the places, and one more couldn't sit down at all, and the child was still sleeping.
"Daddy, go to the eldest brother's side!" Ge Mingyu directly took out his own man, An Zikang, the third elder of the An family.
Because she knew that the fourth brother and sister were back, the sister-in-law must have come over because of her, and she also wanted to find out.
The stinky old woman had food and water in her hands, and she didn't give them any more, for they were so tired, thirsty, and hungry, and they couldn't stand it anymore when they sat under the sun.
Seeing An Zikang get up and leave with his head down, Liu Mei hurriedly sat down in his place, but she really couldn't stand it, and she felt dizzy after standing for a while.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Isn't Yu'er making a fuss? ”
An Qingyu is the youngest son of Dafang, who is eight years old, but relying on his grandmother's pet, he has been making a lot of trouble since he fled the famine, either tired, hungry or thirsty.
Along the way, she either let Liu Mei carry it on her back, or let her sister An Qingyan, who is only twelve years old, carry it.
Mrs. An didn't say anything, it wasn't her son and grandson who carried people anyway, so let them go, just because she couldn't be tired of her baby grandson.
When Liu Mei heard her youngest son, her face was a little ugly, but she smiled again, and reluctantly said that she was no longer making trouble, and then talked about finding Ge Mingyu.
"Third brother and sister, you saw it, the fourth brother and sister are back with the children!" Liu Mei whispered.
Ge Mingyu nodded, how could she not see it, she had already seen it clearly.
"Look at Xuan'er's cub's red face, you say, if the fourth brother and sister don't have private money, who will believe it?" Liu Mei leaned into Ge Mingyu's ears again, "The cost of entering the city alone costs ten copper plates per person, and there are five of them!" You say, is the daughter-in-law of the patriarch likely to give her so much silver? ”
Ge Mingyu had never figured out where the four brothers and sisters got the money to go to the city to see a doctor, but after the sister-in-law mentioned it, it's okay, it should be like this, private silver! Right! It's private money.
Several of their concubines are going to be female celebrities to subsidize their families, but in recent months, the business of the cloth village has been sluggish, so they have stopped sending out handicrafts.
Not to mention the four brothers and sisters, she has some private rooms in her hands, not to mention the sister-in-law, there must be a lot.
So, the four brothers and sisters, who usually don't have any scheming, also hide their private rooms?
"Third brother and sister, you see that they are like that, they must have bought a lot of good things when they went to the city, should we talk to our mother?" Seeing that Ge Mingyu was thinking, Liu Mei said straight to the point, "We are all dying of thirst and starvation, but she can go to the city to enjoy it in Xia Qi, what is the reason?" ”
"But sister-in-law, can this work? After all, we have already separated her, and she has become so powerful again, will she toss again in vain? ”
Ge Mingyu is more thoughtful than Liu Mei, and her brain can turn a corner, unlike Liu Mei, a tendon, as long as there is a benefit, she will move forward bravely.
"Are you stupid? Let's not talk about it, let my mother go, although she broke up in Xia Qiyue, but her in-laws are hungry and she can't swallow it alone, when the time comes, even if my mother doesn't give us food, our son can eat it, you see Hua'er is so thin, you don't have any milk, right? When the children cry, they are all hungry! As the fourth aunt, she has fine grain but doesn't want to think about a little Hua'er, even if the other children do, they can eat wild vegetable buns, but our Hua'er is pitiful, look at this child is hungry..."
Hua'er is the youngest son of Sanfang, only two years old, and he is still breastfeeding, but Ge Mingyu often can't feed his son, and he can hear his crying all the way.
Seeing that it didn't work, Liu Mei began to play the pitiful card, and counted the pity of her son in front of Ge Mingyu.
Where can Ge Mingyu stand this, she has been worrying about her son's rations, but now when she heard her sister-in-law say this, she instantly felt empowered.
She was still thinking about Xia Qiyue here, but she didn't expect that she hadn't thought about her at all, her son was crying hungry every day, she must have heard it, but she didn't give her a bite of fine grain.
If you can cook some rice soup with fine grains to feed your son, your son will not cry every day when he is hungry.
She has no milk, and her son doesn't let go of her mouth, and she sucks and bites.
Since this is the case, what else is she thinking about, and it is true to quickly find a way to snatch back the good things on her.
So they nodded, the two of them summed it up again, and then handed over their sleeping son to their five-year-old daughter An Qingling, got up and walked to Lao An's wife with Liu Mei.
After the two of them passed, they didn't know how to coax Mrs. An, and she coaxed a stinky old woman with a smile on her face.
When Yang Qiuju noticed, Old Lady An had already walked towards the patriarch with two people.
Yang Qiuju hurriedly got up and went to chase.
Jokes, although she doesn't deal with Liu Mei very well, she can't be left behind if there are benefits, right?
I saw Lao An's mother-in-law with two daughters-in-law, chasing one behind, and walked majestically to the place where Xia Qiyue was resting, and shouted loudly regardless of the good show or disdainful eyes around her.
"Xia Qiyue, how much private silver have you hidden, hurry up and take it out for me! Also, I'll bring out all the things you bought from the city! You shameless bitch! ”
