The layout of the Sun family is the standard layout for most families in their Yu'an County. In a courtyard, there are three main rooms facing north and south. In the middle is the main room, one on the east and west sides for parents to live in, and the other for food and other valuables in the family. thing.
There are three side rooms on the east side, one is the kitchen, the remaining two are occupied by the eldest son and his family, and the west side is where the second son lives.
Some families with many sons have basically the same family layout. The difference is that if they have more sons, each son will be allocated less house.
But Yao Daya only has two sons, so naturally there are two rooms for one son and one for the east and west wings.
After they die, the two houses belonging to the second son will usually be bought by the eldest son. The price depends on the relationship between the brothers.
There are also brothers who don't have a good relationship. Although their parents are still there, another batch of foundations have been moved away.
However, this situation is still rare.
The aqua latrine and the pigsty are both in the vegetable field outside the house, not too close or too far apart. Of course, there are not many families with pigs in the pigsty at the moment.
But the Sun family has it.
Because he was prepared in his heart, Xia Qingmai's expression did not change at all even if he vaguely smelled the stench coming from not far away.
Just when Xia Qingmai was about to start acknowledging her relatives according to their local customs, a pair of sticky hands suddenly stretched out from the crowd and grabbed the big bundle made of rags in her hand.
Xia Qingmai was unprepared, or maybe the person who came to get the baggage didn't expect Xia Qingmai to be unprepared at all. The moment the baggage was taken away, Xia Qingmai staggered.
However, Xia Qingmai's two brothers and sisters, Shu Yan and Shu Yu, were still standing close to each other's legs. Seeing that the third mother was about to fall into half, a pair of big hands quickly stretched out.
What happened in the blink of an eye, when Xia Qingmai stood firm again, she was also held in Sun Fugui's arms.
As for the two children, Shuyan and Shuyu, they were also taken into Yao Daya's arms to comfort them.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Xia Qingmai and was just a little dazed because he was unprepared, Sun Fugui immediately looked at the man who was still holding the baggage.
"Third Aunt, why are you in such a hurry? In that baggage are the marriage gifts that Qingmai wants to give everyone. It's up to Qingmai to take them out one by one."
When Qin Anan, who was called the third aunt in Sun Fugui's mouth, heard Sun Fugui's words, she felt guilty because Xia Qingmai almost fell down and she immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "What did you say, kid? I didn't expect your wife to be so weak."
"We are all part of the same family, so what's the difference between her taking it and me taking it?"
After saying this, Qin Anan moved her lips, and then insisted: "It's just that your wife is not good! She looks so thin and weak, why is she so weak? Isn't it because of poor health?"
"Fugui, it's not me who is the third aunt who is talking about you. You are already the second one. Why don't you find someone who is in good health? What if your life is short-lived like the previous one?" Qin Anan said as he spoke. He also raised his hand to pull the bundle in his hand, as if he wanted to throw the contents out.
Guessing what she was going to do, Yao Daya, who was standing not far from her, walked over quickly and grabbed the baggage.
The sister-in-law's actions made Aunt Sun's face look even more ugly.
Although he already knew what kind of person his third aunt was, Sun Fugui was not in a good mood when something like this happened on the day he just got married.
He wanted his third aunt to say something soft, but before he could say anything, his third uncle's voice came out from beside him.
"Daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, your third aunt has no bad intentions. She just saw that you were too tired with the baggage and wanted to help you. You have a lot, so don't argue with a country woman like her."
As soon as Uncle Sun said these words, Aunt Sun immediately stopped trying to grab the baggage and stood there nodding her head.
Seeing everyone in the room looking at him, Xia Qingmai's expression remained unchanged, and he naturally looked at Sun Fugui and asked, "Who is speaking?"
As soon as Xia Qingmai said these words, Uncle Sun's face darkened.
The two of them were standing together. Could the rich new wife tell who he was?
Uncle Sun, who was angry, looked bad, but Sun Fugui instantly understood what his wife meant.
"The person who took your baggage just now was the third aunt, and the one who spoke was the third uncle."
Sun Fugui's tone was natural. As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qingmai answered naturally: "It turns out it's the third uncle and the third aunt." After saying this, Xia Qingmai followed closely: "Where did I think it was?" The robber came and grabbed things without saying a word, which shocked me."
Although Xia Qingmai's words didn't sound good, she always smiled, so her words sounded like a joke and a strange expression.
Sun Fugui, who knew that his wife didn't like to suffer losses, wanted to laugh but was afraid to laugh because of his wife's reaction. On the other hand, Uncle Sun, who felt that Xia Qingmai was being evil, was furious.
"Rich daughter-in-law, is this how your family taught you to talk to our elders like this?"
"A robber? Your third aunt was kind enough to help you get your things!"
Although Xia Qingmai has no feelings for the parents here, when it comes to the topic of 'tutoring', Xia Qingmai definitely has to keep her mouth shut.
"Third Uncle, I call you Third Uncle, but you must also do what an elder should do."
"I am the new daughter-in-law. According to the rules, when I enter the house now, I should kowtow to my parents first, then my second uncle and second aunt, and then you and your wife."
"The baggage I brought is the dowry! What is the dowry? That is something that should be handled by me."
"Let's not talk about why the third aunt took my baggage just now. Let's talk about Fugui's voice just now. As a result, the third aunt not only didn't say a soft word, but also directly said that I was not in good health and my life was not long."
"Is this what an elder should say?"
"It was originally a small matter. Third Aunt could just say that she 'didn't pay attention', 'didn't expect that the rich wife was unprepared', or that she accidentally overdid it, and everyone would just laugh and the matter would pass."
"But what did you two do?"
Having said this, although Xia Qingmai still smiled on her face, everyone in the room could clearly feel her unhappiness.
Those with a clear mind also think what Xia Qingmai said makes sense. It is a trivial matter in the first place. As long as Qin Anan takes a step back and admits his fault, the wealthy couple as juniors will not be able to say much.
However, Sun Sanfu and his wife were unhappy and wanted to show off to their elders.
There were chatter in the main room, and Sun Sanfu and Qin Anan were worried about it. They wanted to leave regardless, but they felt that it was even more embarrassing to leave like this.
Sun Xiaoli, who had been staying behind her eldest brother and sister-in-law, saw that her third uncle and aunt were unable to get off the stage. She quickly took two steps forward, walked to Xia Qingmai and said: "Second sister-in-law, third uncle and aunt actually don't have any bad intentions. It was just before. The second aunt wants to marry my niece to my second brother, but my second brother doesn’t like her.”
No one thought that Sun Xiaoli would suddenly say this. Looking at Xia Qingmai, whose expression had hardly changed, Yao Daya immediately took a step forward after finding a place to put the baggage.
"Sun Xiaoli, what are you talking about!"
