Then Ji Xiang, who felt that his plan was about to succeed, immediately said to his mother, "Mom, can you prove my household registration to me now?"
After hearing the auspicious words, the woman immediately smiled and said, "There's no hurry."
However, how could Jixiang not be in a hurry? She didn't want to stay with such a mother for a moment longer.
Therefore, Ji Xiang immediately asked "Why?"
Jixiang's mother then said directly without thinking, "I am not allowed to discuss this matter with your father and brother? They are the heads of this family, what can I do?"
After saying this, Jixiang's mother seemed to notice that Jixiang was unhappy, so she just said, "Besides, you haven't been back for some days, so it's okay to go home for a meal anyway." "
Ji Xiang was a little surprised when he heard his mother's words. After all, when she was a girl at home, she would not say this. Even if she ate too much, she would not save the next meal for herself.
However, although she was resentful in her heart, Jixiang didn't think too much about it. She only thought that her mother allowed her to eat for the sake of the six taels of silver per month.
Although Jixiang didn't want to stay, in order to get the household registration certificate for herself, even if she didn't want to, she had no choice but to stay here.
She secretly reminded herself that it would only be a matter of noon anyway, and she would get her household registration certificate after dinner. She planned to leave here forever.
After thinking about this, Jixiang just said, "Since mother said so, I will stay and eat."
After saying this, Ji Xiang couldn't help but look at the smoke rising from other homes in the outer courtyard.
So she then just said to her mother, "Mom, it looks like it's time for dinner. My father and brother will be back for dinner, right? How about I go cook."
Jixiang still retains the habit of cooking at home.
However, Ji Xiang's mother took Ji Xiang's hand and said, "Why don't you have more hands? Just stay here and wait for your meal."
After hearing this, Jixiang originally wanted to refute, but Jixiang's mother had already waved to her sister-in-law, who was still doing laundry.
"Come here for a moment."
The sister-in-law was silent for a moment, but then she walked up to the woman and whispered, "Mom, what do you want?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman immediately covered her face and cursed her angrily, "Why are you still asking? Look at what time it is now. Your husband and father-in-law are going to work after dinner, and you are still stunned What are you doing here? If you don’t know, hurry up and cook, why are you waiting for me to do it?”
After hearing what the other party said, the sister-in-law was obviously a little aggrieved.
Ji Xiang also couldn't stand her mother's behavior, so she just said to her mother, "Mom, my sister-in-law is still pregnant, why don't you let me do this? After all, wasn't I the one who cooked at home before?"
However, when she heard that Jixiang was helping her sister-in-law, Jixiang's mother became even more arrogant. She just scolded Jixiang and said, "Aren't you a cheap life? It's already here, and you still want to do it to your sister-in-law." Meal? It’s not like she has no hands or feet, so what’s wrong with making a meal? I miss your mother, didn’t I come here like this back then? Whoever cared about me at that time, I could do everything, so why can’t she do it? "
After saying this, Ji Xiang's mother only said, "Besides, she spent me twenty taels of silver to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Jixiang knew that his mother had gone too far.
At that moment, the sister-in-law's eyes were obviously filled with tears.
If she could make her own decisions and walk out, she didn't think she would be willing to stay in this shabby place.
Even being a beggar is better than washing clothes in this house day after day and being punished by my evil mother-in-law.
It's a pity that she has no place to stand.
She didn't want to hear her mother-in-law say any more unpleasant words, so the woman just whispered, "Mom, I'm going to cook."
After saying that, she prepared to go to the kitchen.
However, before she could get in, the auspicious mother suddenly
He said "Wait!"
Her words of "wait" only made her sister-in-law feel frightened. She almost thought that the other party was going to criticize her again. ap.
However, Ji Xiang's mother was obviously tired of scolding him, so she just said to her sister-in-law, "Come in with me."
After hearing this, the sister-in-law naturally followed in.
When Ji Xiang saw this, she was also afraid that her mother would punish her sister-in-law, so she just wanted to follow him in.
However, Jixiang's mother directly said to Jixiang, "Go and move the firewood in the woodshed for me."
After hearing this, Jixiang had no choice but to go over reluctantly.
Then Jixiang's mother led her sister-in-law into her house. Then she turned around and went to her closet to collect the six taels of silver that Jixiang had given her. After collecting the money, Jixiang's mother then took out another A dozen coins said, "You go to Butcher Liu to exchange a few pounds of meat. Your sister-in-law is back. She deserves to eat better."
When saying this, Jixiang's mother only spoke loudly, and her words were naturally meant for Jixiang to hear.
Sister-in-law Jixiang only responded silently when she heard this.
After Jixiang's mother said this, she only glanced at the door again. After making sure that Jixiang was not eavesdropping, she lowered her voice and said to her sister-in-law, "The meat money here is ten cents. The remaining three cents, you can do it." Go to Dr. Ye and get some ***."
Upon hearing what Jixiang's mother said, Jixiang's sister-in-law immediately opened her eyes and said, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Ji Xiang's mother only said coldly, "Don't worry about my affairs. Just do whatever I ask you to do. Don't talk nonsense all day long."
After hearing what Jixiang's mother said, Jixiang's sister-in-law actually had some ideas. She always felt that Jixiang's mother asked her to buy a gun to deal with Jixiang.
When she thought of this, she felt that she had gained a new understanding of this mother-in-law. People said that the tiger's poison would not eat its seeds.
Her mother-in-law wouldn't really want to do anything to her own daughter.
However, Jixiang's mother saw Sister-in-law Jixiang was stunned, so she couldn't help but said to Sister-in-law Jixiang, "Why are you still standing there? Go buy groceries quickly!"
Then Jixiang's mother only said a warning to Sister-in-law Jixiang, "Don't talk nonsense! If I hear you talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Jixiang could only walk out of her mother-in-law's house with a gloomy expression.
Then Jixiang saw her sister-in-law coming out and her face was gloomy and pale. She just thought that she was uncomfortable, so Jixiang immediately said, "Sister-in-law, you look uncomfortable. Since you are going to buy meat, why not go ahead?" Let me pass."
However, how could Jixiang's mother allow Jixiang to leave at this moment.
Therefore, she immediately stopped Jixiang and said, "What are you going to do? Let her buy something. Just stay at home and wait for dinner."
After the words fell, Ji Xiang's mother only directed her sister-in-law to leave.
Although Jixiang's sister-in-law was worried about Jixiang, when she thought of the threat from her mother-in-law in the house, she was like a quail and didn't dare to say a word.
When Jixiang saw that the other party ignored him, he naturally stopped approaching his sister-in-law.
Although her mother told her to sit and wait for dinner, her mother started directing Jixiang to do other things. Although Jixiang is commanded by the other party. But obviously, being ordered around makes people less uneasy than sitting around doing nothing.
When Sister Jixiang walked to the door of Butcher Liu in the town, she only saw that the door of Butcher Liu was clearly busy.
This was the first time she took the initiative to buy meat. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed, so she just waited for everyone to buy a round. There were fewer and fewer people in front of the stall. She just said to Butcher Liu. "How can I sell this meat?"
Butcher Liu immediately said skillfully, "Pork is ten cents per catty, pork bones are five cents per catty, what do you want?"
Hearing Butcher Liu's question, Sister-in-law Jixiang just looked at the copper plate in her hand in embarrassment.
Her mother-in-law gave her ten cents and asked her to weigh how many kilograms of meat she wanted.
Since she only weighed one pound, her mother-in-law would definitely scold her, and maybe even blame herself for hiding private money and cheating on her money.
When she thought of this, Sister-in-law Jixiang became a little confused.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Butcher Liu couldn't help but said, "Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, make way for the people behind you."
Sister-in-law Jixiang felt embarrassed when Butcher Liu said this, so she immediately blushed and said, "Can you make this meat cheaper?"
This was also the first time that Butcher Liu encountered someone bargaining with him.
Therefore, he immediately pointed to his token and said, "Did you see it? What I said on it is fair price and fair price. The price of my meat is this, and there is no cheaper meat seller in the whole town than mine." Yes, if you don’t want to buy it, just give in.”
Hearing Butcher Liu's words, Sister-in-law Jixiang's face instantly blushed even more.
She looked like a young daughter-in-law. Her face had not yet become thick-skinned by the incident. She was clearly very ashamed at this moment.
And just when she was debating whether to buy meat or not, a capable woman with a round body and a broad waist suddenly walked out of the room.
She just grabbed her man's ear and said, "Which little wife are you talking to again?"
After she finished speaking, the woman discovered that the person talking to her man was actually the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in Yunyong Lane.
This woman has a poor reputation and rarely comes out on weekdays, but everyone on this street knows her.
But everyone knows her because of her good mother-in-law, who talks to everyone all day long and only says that her daughter-in-law is too lazy to eat and does nothing.
Of course, no one believed her nonsense. After all, anyone who had been to her house for a while knew that this woman was the one who was lazy and made trouble all day long.
Moreover, this woman also accepted the job of washing clothes for the coolies on the nearby dock, but in fact she did not do it at all. She left all these jobs to her daughter-in-law.
That's why she can wander around all day long.
