By the time Zhou Ma vomited a stomach full of bitter water and remembered that he should go home, it was almost noon.

Beizhuang is more than ten miles away from Chang'an City, if Zhou Mashi sets off to go home at this time, it is absolutely impossible to catch lunch, she will be hungry.

Ma was so angry by the eldest sister that she had to postpone her plan to enter the city and order someone to prepare a simple lunch.

The second daughter-in-law, Hu Shi, took her son Xiaoshi back to the house to bake the brazier and had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the time was not early, she passed a message to the servant women in the other village with great eyes. Although the servants knew that the village was not enough, the mistress was here, and it was impossible for the mistress to be hungry, so they prepared lunch early.

The servants gave the Ma sisters hot noodles, and a simple bite was enough.

Reef and Begonia waited in the yard for a long time, and at lunchtime, they were finally remembered by their grandmother Ma and summoned into the house to meet their aunt.

Zhou Ma's mind was full of how to deal with the persecution of her mother-in-law and husband after returning home, and when she saw the two children, she barely cheered up and said some clichés, praising them for growing up well, they have grown up so big, they are all good children who know how to be polite and obey the rules, Yunyun.

Under the reminder of her maid, she remembered that she had prepared a meeting gift for the juniors before she came, and hurriedly asked the maid to distribute things. There is still something left for Hai Changan's son, she doesn't want to toss, just hand it over to her little sister Ma to hand it over.

Ma was a little dissatisfied: "Chang'an is also called a mother, it's your nephew, why don't you even see his flesh and blood?!" ”

Zhou Ma said listlessly: "I watched him grow up since I was a child, and I know who his father and mother are, how can I still recognize this nephew?" I can't even take care of my eldest brother's grandchildren, so can I still take care of your godson? The number of courtesies is not bad. Everything is good, and it won't make him suffer, so you can quickly accept it for him! ”

Ma was so angry that he didn't want to speak, so he motioned to Aunt Cui with his eyes, took the meeting gift, and urged the eldest sister to eat. After eating, the eldest sister can leave, and she will also set off into the city with the family. If it drags on any longer, she won't be able to get home after dark, what should she do if she calls her husband Haixi Cliff? !

The sea reef and begonias saw that their aunts had no intention of chatting, so they quietly accompanied the meal and didn't ask much. They had only eaten melons for a long time, and they still had to digest them.

Haijiao peeked at Zhou Ma's maid a few times, and always felt a little familiar, guessing that he might have seen this maid when he was blocked out by his aunt and grandmother in his previous life. As soon as he thought of this, he didn't have a good impression of his aunt Zhou Ma at all, he just felt that she would be forced to this point by her stepmother-in-law, husband, and stepson, and she deserved it.

Begonia buries its head in eating noodles. Although she is still thinking about it, she will not miss the food. To be honest, the taste of this bowl of noodles is much more delicious than the dinner prepared by the Zhuangtou couple last night, the gluten is soft and smooth, and the soup base is a must.

Ma obviously agrees: "The taste of this side has not changed for decades. Over the years since I left Chang'an, I have not been thinking about this. Caixia's craftsmanship is still so good. ”

Zhou Mashi sighed, pointed to the servant woman standing beside him and said, "I also love this good hand made by Caixia, but unfortunately, she is staying in another village now, and she will go to ask for peace two or three times a year." It's rare to eat the noodles she made. ”

The servant's eyes were red, and she choked up: "As long as the wife is willing, the old slave can go and cook noodles for you at any time!" ”

Zhou Mashi sighed: "Anyway, what if you ask that mother-in-law to hold on?" I can't bear to have an accident with you, so you might as well stay in another village and live a peaceful life. ”

Ma hadn't heard the servant woman talk about this before: "What's the matter? I was startled when I saw Caixia in the village. Although she is old, her legs and feet are tough, and her eyes are good, why did she come to the village to retire? Even her children are doing farm work in the village, and they are all decent children, which is a pity. The eldest sister didn't leave anyone around? ”

Zhou Ma said: "She just offended the mother-in-law by speaking for her forehead, and Zhou Jinpu also called for the sale of her family." I was afraid that the old man would be moved by their ancestors and grandchildren, so he hurriedly sent Caixia's family to the village, and told the old man that he had been severely punished, so as not to kill the mother-in-law. ”

If Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Chang'an City can't stop Mrs. Ma from committing a black hand with Zhou Jinpu, Zhou Ma can only endure the pain and send people to the wedding grange in other places. The conditions were worse there, the farther away from her, and she was even more reluctant.

Fortunately, after a few years, Mrs. Ma did not mention the Caixia family again, and Zhou Ma was relieved.

Ma Shi didn't understand: "Eldest sister, can't you send Caixia back to Ma's house?" After changing the master's family, can the Zhou family still kill the servants of their relatives? ! ”

Zhou Mashi sighed and shook his head: "No." The sister-in-law is not short of people to call, but complains that the family has too many people and can't afford to support them! ”

Since the Ma family beat their father's death, they have begun to decline. Although the eldest brother has an official position, his development is far inferior to that of his father, and he is just barely maintaining. Not to mention the eldest brother's son. People in their forties have only achieved the seventh grade, and without the help of their father, there is no hope of promotion at all. Originally, he also married a daughter-in-law with a good family background, but unfortunately the Yue family felt that he was not angry, and they didn't plan to bother to promote him at all, preferring to bypass him to help his son. The sister-in-law has a lot of trouble with her daughter-in-law for this reason, and she is afraid that her own pomp will be reduced, so she will make relatives and neighbors laugh, and she is angry about money every day. The house is uneasy, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, which affects the men's mood in turn. The future of the Ma family seems to be becoming more and more obscure.

Zhou Ma's family was worried about the mess of his mother's house, but he didn't know who to talk to. Now that the little sister is back, she can be regarded as having something to complain about.

Ma took a few deep breaths and resisted the urge to scold.

She didn't understand, she had only been away from Chang'an for more than ten years, why had even her mother's family changed? What's wrong with low official positions? Her man's official position has been lower than that of her eldest brother over the years, and she once resigned from office, hasn't she lived a prosperous life? She didn't dislike anything, and she got along well with her son and daughter-in-law. What are the big brothers, sisters-in-law, and eldest sisters thinking in their heads? obviously lives in a prosperous and stable big city like Chang'an, but she lives a sparse life, which is far worse than her husband and wife!

Ma Shi glanced at Caixia again. This is her eldest sister in the boudoir used to use the henchman maid, capable and loyal, do a good hand of needlework, pasta is a must, now see that people are still tough, husband is also a shrewd and old man, knees children and grandchildren look also smart, has been staying in the village farming is a pity.

Ma simply opened his mouth to Zhou Ma's: "If the eldest sister is willing, she will temporarily lend Caixia's family to the envoy." As soon as he returned to Chang'an, there were only five members of the Cui family, which was really not enough. If you buy it outside, you have to take time to teach it slowly. Caixia's family is all acquaintances, and they know their roots, which is better than buying outside. When will you boil your stepmother-in-law to death, and when you are the master at home, how about returning the person to you? ”

Zhou Ma was a little surprised: "Why can't you?" If you're willing to take them, rest assured! In the future, I will often go to see you, and I will be able to eat the noodles made by Caixia from time to time, and I can also ask her to do needlework, so I don't have to send someone to the village to spread the word every time. ”

Ma Shi laughed angrily again, and rolled his eyes: "I want people to go back and call for themselves, not to help the eldest sister raise people!" If you're so insincere, don't say it! ”

Zhou Ma hurriedly smiled: "Laughing, sister, don't be angry, I'll send you the deed when I go home." "I asked Caixia to kowtow to my sister quickly, which is considered to be handing over the person.

Ma Shi took two deep breaths and waved his hand helplessly: "Caixia hurry up and go back and talk to the family, and give you three days to pack up your things." You also know where the family is, just go to the door. ”

Haitang has no objection to adding a new house to his family, but Haijiao frowned and pursed his lips secretly.
