Chapter 29: Having a Body(1/2)
The wife Tang Wenwei married is pregnant! This is the biggest happy event for the old house this year.
Tang Yougen was looking forward to this incident from the beginning to the end of the year, and finally came before the New Year. He had been lying in bed for a long time, but now he is in the ground, full of energy! People feel refreshed when they are happy...
After receiving the letter, Lu naturally had to go and take a look, not to mention that the sisters-in-law and others are still quite accustomed to the old house. Lu naturally had to take a look, put on eggs, and took Xia Zhu to the old house.
Regarding Tang Wenwei's marriage, Tian family asked about all the girls of the age in the nearby villages, and asked the matchmaker to introduce them without any restrictions. As long as the girl is a good person and is diligent, she introduced them all. When she came to propose marriage, she was rejected.
Tian’s request for a reduction again and again, but he still did not say that it was acceptable.
It was Tang Yougen who made the decision and wanted to go to a poorer place in the mountains to buy a wife. Tian refused to support him and asked him for a few months, but the only thing he waited for was the marriage that was rejected.
Finally, after spending eight taels of silver, Tang Wenwei's wife rolled up a few pieces of clothes and followed the matchmaker into the Tang family's door. She had never even handled the table, and Tang Yougen felt embarrassed!
Tang Wenwei's wife, Tan, was a little dark, but she was a diligent person, and was a good master inside and out. Tan laughed at everyone. When he first came, the villagers said something a little faster and they couldn't quite understand. He could only smile and look at the person who was talking. Over time, the villagers would always slow down their words to Tan.
"Mom, don't you say that you have a body, you can't say it in the first three months? You have to cover it and wait three months before you can say it!"
Mrs. Lu looked at Xia Zhu in confusion. "Where did you hear these things? We don't have such a particular point here. It's more important to have a wealthy family..."
Xia Zhu thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was nothing in the village that had to wait until three months to report the good news...
"Mom, Wen Weigra's grandmother and aunt are here again. I haven't been here for many years..." Xia Zhuzhou walked into the yard as soon as Lu walked into the yard, and hurriedly returned to Lu's side and followed Lu's side.
Tan was sitting in the main room with a red face. Tang Wenwei smiled and asked in a low voice. Tang Yougen looked at the young couple and smiled.
After Xia Zhu followed the call, he came to Tan. Lu sat aside and asked with a smile: "It's been a few months. I finally have a body. Look at how I've been happy with Wenwei. You have to be careful..."
Before Tan responded, Lu said a lot of things to pay attention to. Tan lowered his head, not knowing whether he understood it. However, Tang Wenwei listened carefully on the side, and asked a few questions if he didn't understand. Lu said one by one with a good temper.
"Wenwei. Why didn't you see anyone?" Mrs. Lu stopped and took a breath and asked.
Tang Wenwei nodded and said to Tian’s house: “Here, in the house, my grandma and the others are here…”
Mrs. Lu didn't care, and continued to hold Mrs. Tan's hand and talk about his experience. Mrs. Tan was no longer shy now, and listened carefully with Wen Wei.
In the Tian family's house.
"Mom. Why are you here? Wen Wei's wife has just gotten fat, so she doesn't have to see it from a distance."
Tian’s family came since they married Qiuyue. They ended up in a bad mood and had never been there for years.
"My sister-in-law said this. Didn't my mother hear that Wenwei's wife has a body? She rushed to see her anxiously, for fear that you, who just became a mother-in-law, could talk about something that was not thoughtful..." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family held Tian's hand and said intimately.
Tian was held in his hand and felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't get rid of it. Tian didn't have not returned to his parents' home to tell Wen Wei that he had kissed him. At that time, Tian fell in love with the second daughter of his eldest brother's family, two years younger than Wen Wei, and was just right in age.
I originally thought that if Wenwei married his niece and came in, he would naturally be good to his elder brother's daughter, but it would be much better than marrying into another family.
However, it was his sister-in-law who drove her out and said, "A fool actually wanted to marry my daughter. She was all her own family, but she came to harm her family! Shameless..."
Naturally, Tian was so angry that he was even more unwilling to go back to his parents' home. He only went there once every year during the Chinese New Year!
This year, the second daughter of the eldest brother's family was retired to her parents' home. The in-laws said that she had not been pregnant for three years, was unfilial to her parents-in-law, was lazy and had a lot of names. Now, it was the sister-in-law of the Tian family who turned to sharpen her head and asked the matchmaker to talk to her about marriage.
Tian still couldn't think that nothing had happened before, so he ignored Mrs. Tian and looked at her mother.
"What your sister-in-law said is, but if you have anything to help? When you are pregnant, you have to be careful in everything, and the work at home has to be done by yourself..." Aunt Tian said gently.
Tian was stunned. She had never seen Aunt Tian talk to herself in such a quiet voice. She couldn't help but think a little far away.
"Yes, this wife Wen Wei is pregnant with your Tang family's first great grandson, so you have to be careful!" Mrs. Tian was very enthusiastic, which made Tian a little uneasy.
However, after thinking about it, I had nothing at home, so I let go of my guard.
"Well, our old man is also happy. He finally got married to Wenwei. Now that he has a body, he naturally doesn't let him do anything. He has to wait until he gives birth to my precious grandson..."
Tian was also really happy. Many of the villages are as old as Wenwei, and many of them have children. Finally, they hope that Wenwei will marry a wife, and Tan is also very successful...
"I heard you last time that you and the third family were washing the large intestines for Tang Dahai and the others. Now that Wen Wei's wife has a body, you have to take care of her again. Where can you do this if you have time? That's not all of them for the third family, it's a waste of a lot of money..."
Tian didn't think much and retorted: "How can you do it? Wen Wei's wife is not that delicate. She is from the mountains. She has nothing to do. Now she has a body and can take care of herself. I just want Wen Wei to help her..."
"Wenwei is going to be a father after all, how can he always help you with these tasks? He doesn't even say that he is stinky, and he loses points in the village and can't raise his head..." Mrs. Tian pinched her nose as if she was looking like she was, shook her head.
Tian did not expect that Wenwei and the people in the village could not play together, and Tian was always worried about this. "This, this is not the case, and he didn't let him do anything. He just helped..."
"My sister-in-law, you don't know. Of course, it's okay at home. No one else can see this. You wash your intestines and other things are all by the river. If others see this, you can't tell me the details..."
Tian nodded. He thought that the men in the village were at most diving and chopping wood at home, and they basically didn't do anything else. "That's okay. I did this before, but I didn't do it like this..."
Aunt Tian frowned. She glanced at Aunt Tian, stood up and was about to go out. Aunt Tian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Tian. "Mom, we have finally come here, let's talk..."
"The business of our shop is getting harder and harder. A dozen people in the family rely on this shop for dinner. Now my second daughter has returned to her parents' home. Sister-in-law, you don't know, your second brother and sister-in-law, say something shiver every day..."
As he said that, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes. "Your niece is also a strong person. She is seeking death and not listening to gossip. She said she wanted to find some work to support herself..."
Tian nodded and comforted him. "In this town, it is not difficult to do embroidery work every day and make some money... How much can a big girl eat?"
"Who said no, but my daughter, the girl, can't take it. Now, Wen Wei's wife has a body, and I thought of you, the aunt, and asked my daughter to help you. She can do any dirty and tiring work!" said Mrs. Tian.
"Uh..." Tian didn't expect that Sister Tian would say this. "Sister-in-law, do you mean to ask your second niece to come to my place to do work, will I pay for my salary?"
Mrs. Tian waved her hand and smiled, "How can I do it? It's better to have a meal every day..."
Tian originally thought that her sister-in-law asked her to pay her wages, but she didn't want this wages. Could it be that the Tian family really can't tolerate their second niece?
"Sister-in-law, you have also seen that our family has not separated and they all live together. Now there is no empty house for the second niece to live in. Besides, the head of the family is my parents-in-law, and I have no right to speak. I also said directly, this matter is probably difficult... You don't know my mother-in-law's temper."
Tian just politely refused. Although it was good to have someone to help, it was just that the second niece was retired by her in-laws' family.
Jiang must have disagreed because she was the first to do so. Now Jiang has a much better temper and is also a mother-in-law. She doesn't want to be scolded in front of her daughter-in-law...
"Or, let my second daughter live at home. This morning and afternoon come back, it is more convenient and tight. I didn't hear gossip at home. If the limelight passes, I can still talk about my husband's house!" Mrs. Tian refused to give up.
"My sister-in-law, I really want to hide it from you. There is nothing I can do with my elder brother. Just because your elder brother still loves you, you will accept this matter. I will kneel down to you now..." Mrs. Tian acted and was about to kneel down.
Tian quickly helped Tian Dasao up, "Sister-in-law, you don't know. I don't have much power in this family. I have to let my mother-in-law agree to this matter. I'll go and ask later, okay?"
"Okay, okay, your brother and I will remember your kindness!" Sister Tian said repeatedly, wiping her tears, keeping talking about the goodness of Tian.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Xia Zhu saw Jiang's elder sister from afar, under the eaves of Tian's roof.
"Oh, it's Xia Zhu. I've just gone to the thatched cottage. This man is old and can't stand. I stand with the wall for a while..." My aunt slowly walked towards Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu didn't say much, nor was he willing to go forward to help him. "Oh, I'm also in a hurry to go to the thatched cottage..." After saying that, he walked past his aunt a few steps.
Xia Zhu clearly saw his aunt listening to the movement outside the Tian family's house, and didn't know what was talking about in the room. However, in Xia Zhu's impression, the Tian family was really hard to deal with!
My aunt is the eldest sister of Jiang. In the past two years, she has often come to the Tang family’s old house and has seen Xia Zhu many times. She is also a must-visit every time she comes to the Tang family yard at the end of the village. She always takes something back when she leaves.
Lu's heart is kind-hearted and it is hard to say excessive words to such an old man, not to mention that they are all relatives. Seeing that the old man is pitiful, he never says anything! His aunt never asks for excessive things, and only gets some meat, noodles, etc. every time she comes.
However, the few young people did not look good, and although they did not show any signs of shame, they would not be able to really respect them! Even if they felt uncomfortable, they would turn a blind eye. They thought that Lu's help was not seen.
My aunt may also know that she is in trouble and never acts like an elder. Just like when she saw Xia Zhu just now, she would not say anything, so she asked Xia Zhu to come and help her and just walked by herself.
Putting aside this, my aunt's temperament is really not a big deal. However, after a long time, I have become accustomed to it. Now that my aunt goes to the Tang family again, Fang can also say a few words to her, and talk about family matters, and she can chat well!
In Fang's words, "Alas, they are all pitiful people, who doesn't want to live a little bit more face..."
Since then, Xia Zhu and his friends can talk to their aunt politely.
The eldest aunt planned to go to Jiang's house, "Second sister. I just went to the thatched cottage and accidentally heard something outside the old people's house. I didn't know whether to say it or not!"
"Sister, I can't say anything, I can blame you for not saying anything!" Jiang said the truth. Although the two of them had a lot of quarrels between big and small in the past, they are still sisters and still interact with each other. This person is old and can be easily seen. After all, his sisters are sisters and there is no big disagreement.
"Your old friends' family are all in the eldest house. As they say, a daughter comes to help, don't have money, just eat and drink every day!" the aunt said with a close look.
Jiang did not agree, "Then isn't this a good thing? It's a good thing that doesn't cost money... But, I don't think of the Tian family."
"How can this be? If this is the case, I won't say much. This is a good thing and I can still stop you. I'm not afraid that you will suffer a loss, so I came over... I just heard that my second niece was retired by my in-laws' family and the second child of the Tian family could not tolerate..."
Before my aunt finished speaking, Jiang stopped doing it.
"What? When my Tang family belongs to their Tian family, I still want to hide in my Tang family if my family is broken! Shameless thing..."
Xia Zhu could hear Jiang's sudden curse in the hall, and she hadn't heard this for many years. Jiang's confidence is still very confident...
"Second sister, you have to change your temper. The Tian family hasn't said it yet. If I hear this wrongly, we have to discuss a countermeasure. I always feel that the Tian family is hiding evil intentions, which is not that simple..." The aunt pulled Jiang down and persuaded her.
Jiang rubbed his forehead, "I'm afraid I can't change my temperament anymore. The Tian family and I have never dealt with each other. When I heard that they were going to plot against the Tang family, I was so angry that I rushed...
This divorced daughter is nothing more than just a marriage. She is going to rely on the Tang family? I know that the eldest daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home to talk about the marriage, so she originally wanted to tell Wen Wei about a niece..."
"That's right. I've heard that I've just been retired..."
"Wenwei's wife has a body, what is the Tian family going to do! Seeing that I was going to have a great grandson to hold her, they were so ill-touched... No, I have to tell the old man to go..." Jiang stood up and walked out, and his aunt followed.
It happened that Tian took her mother and sister-in-law into the main hall. Jiang endured it, but she didn't scold her. She found a seat, but ignored Aunt Tian.
Aunt Tian also had a dark face, but Mrs. Tian said enthusiastically: "Uncle, auntie, if you can hold your great-grandson in a few months, you will have to be very lively at that time... Let's also enjoy the joy..."
Tang Yougen didn't know yet, but only knew that Mrs. Tian said this very well. "I don't know if this is a great grandson, I have to be born before I know it! However, these are the first and fourth generations of the Tang family, and I can finally live together for four generations. I will close my eyes and keep my eyes closed."
At the beginning, Tang Yougen insisted on going to the mountains to buy a wife for Wenwei, and did not let Tian ask the matchmaker to find her. Most of the reasons were that Tang Yougen's body became increasingly ill, and he was afraid that he would pass as soon as he fell asleep...
Tang Yougen didn't see Wen Wei give up, and he felt that he couldn't wait. This made the matchmaker hurriedly buy a wife for Wen Wei.
Fortunately, the matchmaker of Hua is a reliable person. Tan is a good-nature and capable person. He praised a lot in the village. He said that he bought a wife, but it is much better than some of them who marry them...
"Oh. My eyes look at my belly very accurately. When Wenwei's wife's belly becomes bigger, I'll take a look..." If Mrs. Tian deliberately made some things to say, the atmosphere would be really harmonious.
Jiang was holding his anger, and when he heard Mrs. Tian mention Wen Wei's wife's belly, he was even more angry. "We have a lot of people today, and the house is small. If it's okay, we won't keep you. Everyone, I'll send you to your mother and the others..."
Mrs. Tian’s laughter was stuck. Finally, she laughed dryly. “Master, don’t say anything, it’s really a problem…Wenwei’s wife has a body, and my sister-in-law is in poor health. She said she has to wash her intestines every day and has to make things. I just thought, let my daughter come and help, and don’t have any wages, so she can keep a meal and drink…”
To be continued...
