Yang looked at her mother-in-law's posture and curled her lips, leaving her mother-in-law to speak harshly. As expected, the person who best understood her mother-in-law's temperament was her cousin, otherwise she wouldn't have said harsh words.
At the same time, there was also a commotion in the room next door. Baiyuntang coaxed her for a while, and finally calmed Chen Jiao down.
"Jiaojiao, mother is like that. Don't be like him. From now on, when I'm not at home, just stay in the house and don't go out. If you have something to do, wait for me to come back to deal with it. They are used to being arrogant. With your character,
You will only suffer a loss."
Chen Jiao leaned against the bed and reached out to hold his hand. Her eyes were red and swollen.
"I don't want to quarrel with my mother, let alone antagonize my siblings. I just want to live a normal life with you."
"I know, that's why I feel sorry for you."
Chen Jiao pressed the handkerchief to the corners of her eyes,
"I don't know what happened today. I met my mother and my second younger sister as soon as I went out. They scolded me without saying a word, even Myolie didn't let them go."
"If what they said was not really unpleasant, I wouldn't have been able to hold back and just contradicted them. The result was like poking a hornet's nest. There will be no end."
Speaking of this, Chen Jiao's face turned red and she gave him an angry look.
"It's all because of you that I got scolded today. Please stay away from me in the future, so that you don't have to be criticized again for my indiscretion... You are relieved. You gave me a bad name for nothing. How will you let me go out in the future?
"
Bai Yuntang listened to Chen Jiao's complaints with a sly look on his face. He finally got his wife into the house and held her soft body in his arms. If he didn't have any ideas, would he still be a man?
Thinking of those leprechauns squatting in the corner shamelessly, scolding and rushing away, as soon as he returned, those people came over again, which was really irritating.
"Did you hear me? Don't make it difficult for me to be a good person anymore."
Chen Jiao said, reaching out and pinching his arm, her eyes swaying, and Bai Yuntang looked distracted.
"Okay, okay, I'll be patient in the future." Baiyuntang looked at her, hehehe.
Baiyunxi didn't know what happened to her second uncle's family, so she poured out all the pine nuts she had collected and spread them on a bamboo mat to dry.
I waited until dinner was over and turned off the lights to go to bed. No one from the second uncle's natal family showed up.
Bai Yunxi smiled. A group of bully masters didn't dare to bring bad luck to her.
Therefore, for some people, you can only suppress them by being tougher than them. The more you talk to them nicely, the more they will slap you in the face.
In the next few days, the family continued to go into the mountains to collect pine nuts, and did not stop until the pine forest was almost completely harvested.
Looking at the three sacks of pine nuts, the whole family was so happy that they could not see anything.
Baiyunxi looked at the pine nuts drying in the backyard and estimated that they weighed more than 200 kilograms after drying.
Pine nuts are a precious commodity. After the Chinese New Year, some of them will be roasted and kept for home use. The rest will be sold at a dried fruit shop, and they will definitely fetch a good price.
When it was almost drying, Baiyunxi noticed Li's eager eyes, "Want to eat?"
"Hehe... I really want to." Mrs. Li turned over the pine nuts, "Mom, do we want to try them?"
"It's not easy to eat our own food, so we're going to fry it now."
Baiyunxi smiled, shoveled three to five kilograms with a dustpan, and carried it to the kitchen.
If you want to make the pine nuts open, you need to soak them in water first, wait until the skin of the pine nuts is soft, then put them in a pot to steam, then take them out and let them cool, then add salt and stir-fry over low heat until the pine nuts open, then you can eat them.
