Chapter 3 Follow your mother, or follow your father?
After drinking the medicine, Li Xiaoyue was drowsy.
By the time she woke up again, the sun had set outside, and the afterglow was slanting through the window.
"Grandma, are you thirsty?" After Li Xiaoyue fell asleep, Liu Daya kept guarding the side.
Now when I saw my grandmother wake up, I immediately lay on the head of the bed, looking at my grandmother with concern and apprehension.
Seeing Liu Daya, Li Xiaoyue's consciousness gradually returned, "I'm not thirsty, I'm a little hungry." Big girl, ask your mother if she has cooked? ”
"Grandma, I'll go over here." Liu Daya turned around and ran outside.
After a while, Wu Cuihong came in with a bowl of porridge that was already warm, "Mother, after cooking the porridge, my daughter-in-law will serve it to you and cool it." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Xiaoyue was hungry, so she took more than a dozen sips and drank it.
Wu Cuihong was frightened, waited until her mother-in-law finished drinking, and said cautiously: "Mother, I don't work hard, this is what a daughter-in-law should do." The uncles and sisters-in-law are about to return from the field, and the daughter-in-law goes to set the meal. ”
"Good!" Li Xiaoyue's expression began to be reserved and serious, and Wu Cuihong really breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that she, the best evil mother-in-law, has a long way to go.
After drinking the porridge, Li Xiaoyue was no longer dizzy, and she had strength in her body, feeling slimy, so she asked Wu Cuihong to bring hot water to wipe her body and change into clean burlap clothes.
When she came to the yard, Liu Daya hurriedly carried a stool and put it under the tree, "Grandma, you sit down and rest." ”
Liu Daya sat down, reached out and gently rubbed Liu Daya's yellow-haired head, "Cuihong, boil a few more eggs." ”
"Got it, mother." Wu Cuihong thought that her mother-in-law wanted to eat it, so she immediately took out three eggs from the cupboard, washed them and put them in the pot to cook.
At this time, Liu Changlu, the second son who is thin and tall and looks like a scumbag ex-husband, took the child to accompany his wife Zhou Xiaohua back to his parents' house.
Liu Changlu saw that his mother had a strip of cloth tied on her forehead, her face was pale, and she hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Zhou Xiaohua in the back also showed concern, but she kept cursing in her heart, the old immortal, why didn't he die directly if he didn't knock it down seriously?
Li Xiaoyue waved her hand, and there were other sons and children outside, "Let's talk about it together when I come back, so that I don't have to repeat it over and over again." Second daughter-in-law, hurry up and help your sister-in-law set the table, and we will eat in a while. ”
"Yes, mother." Zhou Xiaohua was reluctant in her heart, but she didn't dare to contradict Li Xiaoyue at all.
Li Xiaoyue has countless subordinates, and she can see at a glance that Zhou Xiaohua is a person who is docile on the surface and wants to curse her mother-in-law to die soon.
However, there is no time to clean her up now, and there will be opportunities in the future.
The third son, Liu Changshou, was fourteen years old, tall and strong, and silent, and came back from the field with farm tools on his back.
The fourth son, Liu Changxi, was 12 years old, carrying a bookcase on his back, and returned from school from Li Xiucai's private school in a neighboring village.
The fifth son, Liu Changan, is frail and sickly, ten years old this year, unable to do heavy work, and is responsible for herding cattle. At this time, he sat on the back of a cow, played a bamboo flute, and swayed home.
The eldest daughter Liu Changhuan is twelve years old, and her fourth son Liu Changxi is a dragon and phoenix fetus. With his eight-year-old sister Liu Changle, he played pigweed, and his back basket was full.
Liu Yunde didn't get entangled in the exam two months ago, and for the sake of high dowry, he married Liu Changhuan to the stupid son of the Zhao landlord's family, and got fifty taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but secretly scold Liu Yunde in her heart for being a bad seed with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs that can't die well!
Wu Cuihong and Zhou Xiaohua had already brought all the food to the table, and Liu Changfu rushed back.
"Mother, I got the book back, and the government has archived it." As soon as Liu Changfu finished speaking, he ran to the side of the water tank, picked up the water scoop, and poured a few mouthfuls of water to quench his thirst.
Li Xiaoyue got the book of separation and saw that there was not only Liu Yunde's signature and fingerprint private seal, but also the official seal, and breathed a sigh of relief.
This marriage is finally divorced!
"Big brother, did you leave with your sister-in-law?" The second brother Liu Changlu's eyes are dripping, and the eldest brother is short-tempered, so he can only endure a hard-working person like his sister-in-law.
Besides, the sister-in-law is gone, the eldest brother is not old, and he has to marry again, and the family will have to spend money again.
Li Xiaoyue put away the book and left it, looked around, her eyes were serious, and she looked around at the children at a table.
"Your sister-in-law is so good, she is the eldest sister-in-law in the family, she has done nothing wrong, how can she be separated?"
"This letter of harmony is the letter of reconciliation between me and Liu Yunde. He was admitted to Xiucai, got along with the rich widow in the county, and asked me to surrender myself to a concubine, but I didn't want to, so I made peace with him. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned and dumbfounded.
As soon as the second Liu Changlu heard this, the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table, and he asked eagerly: "Mother, the whole family is for my father to study, my father was finally admitted to Xiucai, and our whole family can enjoy happiness with us, how did you agree and leave?" ”
Li Xiaoyue's chopsticks slapped the table, and she looked at her second son Liu Changlu with an expressionless face.
"What about discord? Do you really want me to promise to be a concubine? I have lived for most of my life, I don't hate to suffer and suffer, and finally I became a concubine who bought and sold at will, and I could suffocate to death. ”
"If you want to touch the light of your Xiucai father, you will take your wife and children to the county seat to find your Xiucai father, I want to see if Liu Yunde and his concubines take in your family of three?"
Liu Changfu felt sorry for his mother and glared at Liu Changlu angrily, "Second brother, although we are farmers and have no knowledge, we have also seen the play, the concubines of big families, similar to pigs and dogs, beating and scolding at will." ”
"Liu Yunde can even abandon his wife who has been with him for 18 years, and he has already married the widow Wang in the county seat, so he will definitely have many sons and daughters in the future, is there a lack of your unsightly son born to the former mother?"
Liu Changlu didn't dare to talk to his eldest brother, and said, "Big brother, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a pity." ”
Li Xiaoyue didn't want to be instigated, "After the reconciliation and departure, Gu Yunde except for the three thatched houses in the old mansion, everything else is mine." How you lived before, how you will live in the future. ”
"In addition, if any of you want to go to the county seat to find your Xiucai father and live with your Xiucai father, stand up now, pack your things for you today, and let your eldest brother send you over tomorrow."
"Out of my door, I don't have this son or daughter. In the future, you will be prosperous and rich, have big fish and meat, or live as well as pigs and dogs, and eat bran vegetables, all of which have nothing to do with me. ”
Liu Changfu is the boss, and he knows how hard his mother has worked for this family since he was a child, "Mother, I follow my mother, serve my mother, and provide for my mother." ”
Wu Cuihong also hurriedly said: "Mother, I and the eldest girl are also serving you, we don't recognize that negative father." ”
"Grandpa is bad." Liu Daya clenched her fists, especially angry that her grandfather beat her grandmother, "Don't want him." ”
When Liu Changfu heard his wife and daughter's statement, he couldn't help but nod at his wife, his eyes showed approval, this daughter-in-law is still good.
Just when Li Xiaoyue was waiting for others to express their opinions, she heard someone striding outside, with a loud voice, and kept greeting Liu Yunde's eighteenth generation ancestor!
