Chapter 14 The drowning daughter of the son-in-law (14)
Jiang Hongxiu went in with confidence, and then came out in a daze.
She didn't expect that Jiang Fugui could tolerate the fact that Shi Jiang ate his and Jiang Xiaobao's food.
Not only did she endure it, but she also asked her to cook a new meal for him and Jiang Xiaobao with a straight face.
Walking to the door of the kitchen and looking at the cleanly eaten ocean bowl left in the kitchen, Jiang Hongxiu couldn't bear it any longer. She squatted down and hugged her legs, buried her head inside, and started crying bitterly.
Shi Jiang had no time to care about Jiang Hongxiu's mood. When she was full, she went out and ran towards the mountain.
Although the mountains here are not deep mountains and old forests, if you are lucky, you can encounter small animals such as pheasants and rabbits.
The smell of the chicken at home yesterday was still lingering around the tip of my nose. Although I was full today, the dinner for dinner was still missing.
Besides, she has serious business.
He shook the sickle in his hand, walked around the edge of the village, and secretly climbed up the mountain.
Not mentioning Shi Jiang, Liu Xiaocao got up early in the morning and carried a basket with a Chinese cabbage and a handful of noodles.
This noodle is made of white flour. Jiang Fugui went to the county town and exchanged it with someone for his son Xiaobao to eat.
Liu Xiaocao knows better than anyone what kind of person his own mother is.
If you don't see a rabbit, don't let an eagle fly. Knowing that the money given by the old Xu family will definitely scrape off a layer of oil and water.
However, fortunately, the amount she told Fugui before was not entirely correct.
Last time her mother told her that the amount that the Xu family was willing to give was a full one hundred yuan. In addition to the sixty yuan she told Fugui, there were still forty yuan. When the time came and she gave ten yuan to her biological mother, she could still
I saved thirty yuan to build a private house.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaocao? Why do you want to come to your door in this clear day?"
When Mrs. Liu saw Liu Xiaocao, she snorted from a distance and said angrily.
"Sister-in-law, didn't I just come to see how our mother is doing?"
Liu Xiaocao showed a fake smile, pretended not to notice the disdainful expression on Mrs. Liu's face, and directly opened the door and entered Mrs. Liu's house.
Mrs. Liu, who was standing in the yard, spat on the ground and rolled her eyes.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xiaocao went back to her parents' house to pay New Year greetings, but her hands were empty, and she was so shameless that she even brought four mouths with her.
Jiang Fugui was a man who could drink and talk a lot, so he had to eat the lunch meal until the evening, and then continued eating.
Especially Jiang Fugui, halfway through the meal, he still felt that there was not enough food to go with the wine.
The couple and their two children had enough to eat.
I feel sorry for my child, but he was hungry for half the night.
As long as Sister-in-law Liu thinks about this matter, she can scold Brother Liu until Brother Liu's face turns black.
Liu Xiaocao would not take Mrs. Liu's disdain to heart, so she opened the door to her mother's room, entered and put the basket directly on the table.
"Mom, look what I brought you."
After saying that, Mother Liu, who didn't have a good look on her face, could not reply. She directly opened the curtain covering the basket and took out the handful of noodles wrapped in paper.
"Look, the noodles are made from white flour. Your son-in-law managed to get them from the city. No, I made a special trip to bring you a handful so you can have a try."
I saw the handful of noodles my daughter took out. Although it wasn’t much, it was just a small bowl at most!
But I couldn't resist that it was made of white flour. As people get older, they want to eat something soft and chewy.
The originally ugly face revealed a slight smile.
He said: "I still don't want you to eat this handful of noodles?" But his hands brought the noodles over faster than his mouth.
Liu Xiaocao came here to ask her mother for help, so naturally she had no problem with her snatching the noodles from her hand.
Sure enough, after holding it in hand and smelling the aroma of wheat, Mother Liu's mood obviously improved a lot.
For more than half a year, she had been ridiculed by her eldest daughter-in-law a lot because of what her daughter and son-in-law did.
Even the original partiality for her daughter was completely eliminated by Sister-in-law Liu's constant criticism.
"Tell me, I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."
After carefully hiding the noodles, Mother Liu turned around and raised her eyebrows at her daughter and asked.
"Mom, how did you know I came to see you for something?"
Liu Xiaocao flattered Mother Liu with a bit of flattery.
"Huh, I gave birth to you. No matter how old you are now, when you were a child, I could tell whether you pooped or peed when you stuck your butt out."
Mother Liu was very proud of herself.
Hearing this, Liu Xiaocao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Mom is right. My daughter, I really have something to ask you. Didn't you say before that the old Xu family in Sanli Village was willing to spend a hundred yuan to marry a daughter-in-law without a dowry? I'm not looking at your son-in-law.
That daughter is almost old now, and it’s time to marry her."
Hearing this, Mother Liu looked at her daughter meaningfully for a long time.
Liu Xiaocao, who only looked at it, became anxious secretly, and then he looked away.
"As for the old Xu family, you know very well that the person they proposed to kiss was not his son, but the old Xutou. That's why their family offered a hundred yuan and no dowry. The one in front of the old Xutou
Even if I don’t tell you, you know how my mother-in-law died, right? Is the daughter in front of my son-in-law fifteen or sixteen this year?”
"I'm sixteen, don't worry. I discussed this matter with your son-in-law, and he agreed. That's why I came to you to help set up this line. Mom, don't worry, I won't let your help go in vain. Your son-in-law said, give me
Your ten yuan will be used as hard work fee."
Liu Xiaocao said quickly, secretly reporting Shi Jiang's age up by one year, fearing that when her own mother went to tell her about the situation, she would dislike Shi Jiang for still being a yellow-haired girl. If she didn't want the money, she would have wings and fly away.
Already?
"Okay, since it was my son-in-law who opened the door, I will go to Lao Xu's house first to find out what's going on."
When Liu's mother heard what her daughter said, she was very satisfied with her son-in-law's awareness of current affairs.
"Okay, Mom, I'm waiting for your good news!"
When Liu Xiaocao heard Liu's mother agreed, a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she happily held her mother's arm and left the house.
Just now I saw Liu Xiaocao entering her mother-in-law's house and never came out. Sister-in-law Liu thought that this sister-in-law must be shamelessly taking advantage of her again.
Sheng stretched her neck and pricked up her ears to hear clearly, but because Liu Xiaocao closed the door when she entered her mother-in-law's house, she could only vaguely hear the words, but couldn't hear exactly what was being said.
However, no matter what advantage my sister-in-law wants to take by returning to her parents' home this time, she will not agree to it.
If she doesn't agree, she will go back to her parents' home.
Liu Xiaocao came out and looked at Mrs. Liu, whose eyes were wandering towards her. She was not angry and handed the big cabbage in the basket to Mrs. Liu.
"Sister-in-law, don't dislike it. It's not easy to order some vegetables in this weather. Your brother-in-law spent a lot of effort to get this cabbage from someone else."
Sister-in-law Liu was a little surprised. Did her sister-in-law change her temper when she came back today?
