The next day, Mrs. Huang got up and saw her eldest daughter-in-law kneeling at the door and saying, "Mom, I was wrong."
Old Mrs. Huang snorted coldly: "What's going on? Didn't the Li family keep you?"
Li Mei looked uncomfortable and hesitated: "They can't even eat enough, and they don't have any extra food."
Mrs. Huang looked at Li Mei seriously and said:
"If your parents are good and your brother is a reciprocal person, he will give you some food.
But look at what they have given you since you married into our family?
When you got married, you came to my house empty-handed, without even giving you a quilt or a good piece of clothing.
Are people like this worthy of your heart and soul? "
Li Mei sniffed and said, "I...I know I was wrong..."
Old Mrs. Huang sighed and said: "Okay, stop kneeling and wipe your face! But if you do it next time, I will break your legs."
After saying that, he went into the room to wipe Fu Bao's face and hands. Fu Bao felt the hot towel, opened his eyes and babbled: "Milk...milk..."
Mrs. Huang put her clothes on and said, "Let's have breakfast! Today I asked your third aunt to cook noodles, fish soup noodles, and add an egg."
Darling, isn’t this too extravagant?
Nowadays, everyone is generally not full, but she is given fish soup noodles.
Fu Bao sat at the table, and Lin Yan brought the fish soup noodles and said, "Mom, I overcooked these noodles for a while. They should be rotten."
Mrs. Huang glanced at Lin Yan with approval. To be honest, since Lin Yan entered the house, she has been honest, diligent and sensible, and she has done all the work at home.
Old Mrs. Huang said: "Swallow! You haven't visited your parents' home for two years. Now that you are like this, do you want to go back and visit?"
Lin Yan's hand wiping the table paused, her eyes were a little red and she said, "Mom... I... won't go back."
How could you not miss home? But when her parents sold her, they told her that she should take good care of her husband's family and not worry about the life and death of the family.
Mrs. Huang thought for a while and said, "While the snow on the mountains has melted in the past two days, let me go back with you!"
Lin Yan wanted to say something, but her throat was choked and she couldn't say anything.
Mrs. Huang said while feeding Fu Bao:
"After all, they are in-laws, so we can't really let them ignore the life and death of the family. I was already thinking about this.
But your unsatisfactory mother stole food at night, which disappointed me so much. "
Not only Mrs. Huang, Fubao is also very angry, okay?
However, the fish soup noodles were so delicious. After finishing the fish soup noodles, Old Mrs. Huang called her sons and said, "After breakfast, take these three bags of grain to your in-laws' house. It will be considered as all you have." Filial piety.”
Huang Dalang held his head and said: "I won't go..."
Old Mrs. Huang stared at him and said:
"If you don't want to go, you have to go. We treat several wives' families equally.
But we have to make it clear that these times are not easy for anyone. This is also our intention. From now on, they have to rely on themselves. "
In the end, Huang Dalang could only carry a bag of grain and left, and Li Mei followed.
Mrs. Huang sighed and said, "I hope your mother can have a clearer mind!"
When he came back, Huang Dalang said with a sullen look on his face: "I was so angry when I went there, what the hell? You said it was just a bag of whole grains, how could you have the nerve to carry it back?"
Li Mei was silent, her eyes a little absent-minded.
Fu Bao thought that it made sense for Mrs. Huang to do this. She wanted Li Mei to get to know her natal family as soon as possible, right?
Huang Dalang was driven back without lunch. Seeing that there was still porridge in the pot, he quickly drank it.
When Lin Jinhua came back, she was so excited that she took out five eggs and said, "Mom, my mother said, thank you very much for our family's food, which solved their urgent need. These five eggs are for Fu Bao." "
Mrs. Huang nodded, glanced at Li Mei and said, "Well, my mother-in-law is interested. Have you had lunch?"
Lin Jinhua smiled and said:
"After eating, my mother-in-law's family refused to let us go and had to let us eat before coming back.
By the way, sister-in-law! I heard that your brother was injured by bamboo at our place last night. Oops! Why don't you be careful when walking at night? "
Huang Dalang became very angry when he mentioned this matter. When he arrived at his mother-in-law's house today, the mother-in-law directly pulled him by the collar and said, "Huang Dalang, do you still have the nerve to come to our house? Your family has made Chang Sheng's feet look like this. You have to pay money..."
Huang Dalang was dumbfounded. He hadn't even touched Li Changsheng yesterday, so why did he hurt his leg?
But the mother-in-law didn't care at all. She grabbed his clothes and took away all the 16 cents he had on him.
After hearing this, Mrs. Huang raised her lips and said, "Li Mei, tell me about this. Did your parents do the right thing?"
Li Mei lowered her head and hesitated: "Mom, I guess my mother and the others also have no money...I...I..."
Mrs. Huang snorted coldly, and went straight back to the room with Fu Bao in her arms. Fu Bao gave her cheap mother a cold look, stubborn and stubborn.
January is coming soon, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, but every household is gloomy and gloomy.
Since something happened the last time we went to the mountain, no one dared to go up the mountain easily.
But people who had no food at home were already chewing tree bark. Many villagers shamelessly begged Mrs. Huang to come here.
When Mrs. Huang saw someone she got along well with, she would give him a few kilograms of coarse grains. If she saw someone she got along well with, she would simply refuse.
Many people complained behind their backs: "Have you heard? There is a lot of coarse rice in the cellar of Scalper's house, but she is so cruel that she refuses to save her until she dies?"
"You can't, right? scalpers are not like that."
"Why not? This is what his mother-in-law said, Li Mei's mother. It is said that there are more than ten bags!"
"What? More than ten bags. I went to her house yesterday to borrow rice, but I didn't get any. Is this woman so cruel?"
People in the village talked a lot, and soon many families reached a consensus and came to Huang's house to borrow rice from their family.
Old Mrs. Huang was doing embroidery at home, and Fu Bao watched her curiously as she moved needles and threads. Grandma was so good. This would definitely be amazing in modern times.
She made a small dress for Fu Bao and said, "I will embroider a peony flower and two butterflies on it. Isn't it beautiful?"
Fu Bao nodded and said: "Piao...piao..."
It's really beautiful!
Suddenly, she heard a "bang bang bang" knock on the door outside. Mrs. Huang frowned and said, "Who is it? Here it is..."
People outside kept knocking on the door. Old Mrs. Huang hugged Fu Bao and opened the door. She saw that there were people standing outside.
"We are from the scalpers' family, we are here to borrow food..." These people shouted: "The food you have so much belongs to the folks in the village, so it shouldn't be a big problem if you lend us some, right?"
"I heard that the food in your cellar is almost overflowing. Can't you just ignore it?"
