Chapter 9: The second sister-in-law Su is so angry that her liver hurts
Old Man Su suppressed the excitement on his face and took on the posture of a grown-up man.
"Boss, speak seriously!"
Although he said this, he didn't know why in his heart, so he believed his son's words.
After all, he had just experienced the spectacle of a fish jumping on a human body.
"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense, it's true." Su Dahu vowed: "I walked around at the foot of the mountain, thinking that if I could catch a pheasant, my mother would have chicken soup to drink. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard
There was movement in the grass nearby, and a big pheasant flapped its wings and flew towards me..."
Su Dahu didn't waste much effort and caught the pheasant as soon as he stretched out his hand.
I caught a pheasant and thought about looking into the grass again, and then another one flew out.
Then, I discovered a large nest of wild eggs.
Following Su Dahu's words, all the villagers who came to join in the fun - sour!
It's so sour.
My teeth are so sore that I almost fall out!
How come people have such good luck?
Others armed with swords, guns and sticks may not be able to catch pheasants when they encounter them.
If you are lucky, you can catch pheasants with your bare hands.
I caught two at once!
Some people are sad, and some people are happy.
"Brother Su, your family is really lucky." Mr. Wang said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, I'd like to lend you some good words." Old Man Su's face was red and he smiled with big teeth.
"This little girl of yours is really a lucky star. She brings blessings to your family." Mr. Wang said again.
"Hahaha... of course my daughter is a lucky one."
As soon as the little sugar baby was mentioned, Old Man Su couldn't hold it anymore and his whole body was floating.
Mr. Wang smiled and shook his head, "Look how beautiful you are!"
Someone nearby immediately started cheering and joking.
"Lao Sutou, his tail is about to go up to the sky!"
"Old Sutou, why don't you fly into the sky yourself?"
…
Old Man Su wasn't angry either, he still smiled contentedly.
For a time, the courtyard was in full swing and there was constant laughter.
Especially the old men who are about the same age as Mr. Su and have good friendships with each other. They come and go and amuse each other.
Finally, old man Su started to entertain guests with a smile.
"Brothers and gentlemen, let's not leave at noon. We'll just eat fish and chicken at home. We've had enough for today, so eat with your mouth open!"
"Okay, I'll go home and get the jar of sorghum wine I brewed myself."
"I'll tell you when I get home..."
…
Several old men were not polite and nodded in agreement.
No matter if you go back to get the wine or if you say you want to go back, you will never come back empty-handed.
After all, it’s not like they don’t know what life is like at Old Man Su’s family, so how could they have the nerve to eat at Old Man Su’s family for free?
I don't have to bring my own rice, flour, grains, oils, eggs, vegetables, etc.
Anyway, it's not a very expensive thing, it's all owned by me.
Of course, Old Man Su didn't let these people go home empty-handed.
He has already discussed with Mrs. Su and each of them will give a fish.
In the words of Mr. Su, when a wealthy family gives birth to a child, when they feel happy, they will set up a flowing mat for a few days to show their love and respect for the child.
Now, my family has finally welcomed a daughter, so I have to celebrate it properly and go through the process no matter what.
If you can't afford to set up a flowing-water mat, you might as well give a fish as a lucky gift, just as a way to accumulate good fortune for your daughter.
So, Old Man Su greeted his son happily and began to deliver fish.
"Dahu, let me catch a fish for you, Uncle Wang, and take it back..."
"Erhu, pick up a big one for your Uncle Li..."
"Xiao Liu, give it to your eighth uncle..."
…
Big fish were sent out one by one.
Anyone who catches a fish will grin with joy till his cheeks.
Each of these carp and grass carp weighs several kilograms.
Even among those crucian carp, the smallest ones are as long as a hand, and the big ones may weigh two or three pounds.
What's more, the Su family didn't give away crucian carp, but gave away big carp, saying it was for a lucky draw.
When Qian Yuemei saw the big carps being sent out one by one, her heart trembled with pain.
This is all silver!
"My child's father, so many fish can be sold for a lot of money, how can you give them to others for nothing?" Qian Yuemei tugged on Su Erhu's sleeve and whispered.
Su Erhu glared at Qian Yuemei impatiently, "I'll give it away as soon as dad says. Why do you care about so many things?"
Qian Yuemei was stunned by Su Erhu's retort and became angry.
If it were normal, she would have died down.
After all, the parents-in-law still have the final say in this family.
But now, Qian Yuemei touched her belly, and the girl in her belly immediately gave her courage.
So, he shouted unwillingly: "Why can't I take care of it? I have a share of these fish, and my daughter has a share!"
After Qian Yuemei finished speaking, she purposely pushed her belly in front of Su Erhu.
Su Erhu's eyes fell on Qian Yuemei's belly, with a strange expression on his face.
"The baby in your belly is a daughter? Impossible! My mother has given birth to six children before she gave birth to my sister. How can you be so lucky?"
Qian Yuemei, "..."
Liver pain!
My liver hurts from anger.
Just now it was heartache, now it is liver pain.
Fortunately, Su Erhu is not quite a tiger yet.
Finally, he took a look at Qian Yuemei's belly and explained.
"We are all from the village, and we usually help our family a lot. Now that our family has got so many fish, of course we have to return the favor."
When Su Erhu said this, he paused and then said: "What's more, our family has a new baby today, so we have to celebrate it."
Qian Yuemei knew that there was no need to discuss this matter, so she simply walked into the house out of sight and out of mind.
As for cooking, it has nothing to do with her.
She is pregnant with the old Su family's child and is still a daughter, so of course she doesn't have to do anything.
Qian Yuemei directly raised her status to the top.
In the past, my mother-in-law was very busy with her pregnancy, and as a daughter-in-law, she was too embarrassed to keep her fingers crossed.
Now that my mother-in-law has given birth, of course she has to show off her pregnancy profile.
In fact, in a poor family like the Su family, how can a woman have the right to be squeamish when she is pregnant?
You can hardly eat anymore, why are you so squeamish?
I still do laundry, cooking, feeding pigs and chickens, everything.
Some women are even about to give birth and are still working in the fields.
How can poor people have the chance to care for and care for their fetuses?
However, the Su family can be regarded as a family that loves their daughter-in-law, but they have never treated their daughter-in-law harshly.
Zhao Chunhua didn't count on Qian Yuemei, so she was busy killing chickens and fish herself.
"Dapan, help my mother light the fire."
"I know, mother."
Although Da Pan is young, he is very obedient.
Zhao Chunhua glanced at her son with loving eyes, and then ordered Su Liuhu to
"Sixth brother, help my sister-in-law pluck the chicken feathers."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Su Xiaoliu nodded excitedly.
Plucking chicken feathers is a good job.
You can keep your chicken feathers and show them off to your friends.
