Qiao Mingjin looked at Yu and Sun standing outside the door and felt strange.
It's been a long time since these two sisters-in-law came to visit us.
Logically speaking, given their nature of loving to join in the fun, Qiao Mingjin originally thought that these two people would come to her door every day to nag her. She never thought that after she and Wan'er, mother and daughter, moved out of her in-law's house, this sister-in-law would
The two rarely came to visit.
What Qiao Mingjin didn't know was that those two people wanted to come to her door from time to time. Not to mention Qiao's predicament, it would be nice to show off by holding her son holding a big bowl with food piled high while eating.
Yes.
Let the mother and daughter take a look: Look, my son and daughter are eating well, but you can't eat, right?
Although the Yue family is not very rich, they have a house and land, and they can afford to eat dry food, and occasionally eat oily and fishy meat. Can you, mother and daughter, not eat that?
The two sisters-in-law always wanted to come to show off and make Ms. Qiao jealous, letting her know that a woman cannot live without a man.
However, I don’t know what Yue Laosan said to their men. Yue Laoer and Yue Laosi directly told them that they were not allowed to come to the house to woo Jin Niang and her daughter.
Sun and Yu are not afraid and want to go their own way, but there is a precedent of Qiao Mingjin. Her mother-in-law has always looked down on their natal family. If they also find a young and beautiful lady or a rich widow with drag
If the oil bottle woman comes to be their man's equal wife, what will they do?
The two of them didn't dare to take this risk.
Their natal family is not as tough as the Qiao family.
If their natal family knew about such a thing, they might be demoted to concubines and asked to stay in their in-laws' family. But they must not go back to their natal family and embarrass themselves.
"Brothers and sisters, it's been a long time since I last saw you. My fourth brother and sister-in-law and I just happened to have some free time, so we stopped by to see you."
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law, I have always said that I would come to see you and Wan'er. But you also know that after you leave, all the family affairs will fall on me and my mother-in-law. You also know that my mother-in-law thinks very much of Fifth Sister.
Just like Eyeball, Fifth Sister will not help us. It used to be the three of us doing the work, but now it only takes two of us to do it. How can we be busy! I envy you. No one told you to do it.
I can do this or that without anyone pressing me down, so it’s very relaxing.”
After Yu finished speaking, Sun also nodded in agreement.
The corners of Qiao Mingjin's mouth twitched.
Envy her freedom? Then let them come and see if they still envy her.
"Third brother and sister, don't you invite us to come in and sit down? There are a lot of people inside, isn't it? Is it inconvenient?"
As Sun spoke, he looked at Qiao Mingjin with a strange look.
Qiao Mingjin glanced at her lightly, smiled, then put down her hand on the door frame and stepped aside.
The two people squeezed in.
"Oh, sister-in-law, your yard is well kept. It's really comfortable for you and your daughter to live together. You see, your second brother, me, and our two children are still sleeping in the same room.
I don’t know when my mother-in-law will build a new house. If the third child and Liu had made an engagement earlier, they might have built a new house by now..."
Before Mrs. Sun could finish speaking, Ms. Yu hurriedly stabbed her.
Mrs. Sun immediately shut up.
It really deserves a beating. Why are you mentioning Mrs. Liu in front of Mrs. Qiao? You don't have to offend her and don't accept their wooden stakes.
Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and said, "Jin Niang, look at my mouth. It's not covered. Don't worry about it. After all, we have been sisters-in-law for several years. What about Ms. Liu?"
Even after entering the door, the relationship is not as deep as ours..."
Then Mrs. Yu glanced at Mrs. Sun. I never thought that Mrs. Sun was so incapable of speaking before?
Yu rolled her eyes, and before Sun could finish, she smiled at Qiao Mingjin and said, "Hey, where's Wan'er? I haven't seen her for a long time. This child didn't go home to play with Beishu or the others, either.
What are cousins so shy about?"
Qiao Mingjin replied calmly: "She and my sister went outside to play with the children in the village."
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun said: "Jin Niang, I heard that your two brothers left you? Fortunately, they left, otherwise your mother and daughter would not be able to eat, how could you support so many people in your mother's family? Now
Your sister is here, so you can’t let her eat in vain. You have to let her help you with more work. I heard that she is nine or ten years old..."
"Why did you come to my house?"
Qiao Mingjin interrupted Sun and asked lightly.
She didn't have time to listen to those two people preaching to her here, as if they were familiar with her.
And what does her family’s affairs have to do with them? Are they eating her family’s food or drinking her family’s food?
Seeing Qiao Mingjin's indifferent expression, Mrs. Sun curled her lips secretly. She didn't know what she was trying to do. She had no land, no land, no food to eat, and she had to drag her siblings with her.
After hearing what Qiao Mingjin said, Mrs. Yu looked at Qiao Mingjin and said, "My mother-in-law heard that you were collecting wood piles here. She also heard that some people in the village were idle and went up the mountain to dig wood piles. I don't know if the news she heard was correct.
, just send me two to ask."
Mrs. Yu was very smart and took it out herself.
In fact, it was her mother-in-law who sent them to ask. Although they both had their thoughts, they couldn't say that they wanted to know about it.
Anyway, Qiao Jinniang has not reconciled with Yue Laosan, and she is still the daughter-in-law of the in-laws' family. She, Qiao Jinniang, can refute them, but she can't refute her mother-in-law, right?
Qiao Mingjin glanced at these two people and shook her head secretly. How shameless does this have to be?
But she didn't want to be special. Now she and her family were just villagers living in the same village. It didn't make sense. She accepted the family from the east, but not the west.
Then he said to the two people: "Yes, they collect the wooden piles. But I agreed in advance. After digging, I looked at the things and decided whether to pay by the piece. If it doesn't meet my requirements, just
I can ask you to chop it up, and I'll pay you fifty cents for a load of firewood. If you think it's okay, you can dig it, and let me know when it's done. For specific precautions, you can ask Sister Xiu.
."
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun said: "What kind of wooden stakes do you want? Why don't you tell us what kind of wood you want, and we will dig it for you. Otherwise, if you don't want it and just use it as firewood, wouldn't we?"
Is your effort in vain? It may take less than half a day to chop a load of firewood, but it takes more than that to dig a wooden pile."
Qiao Mingjin glanced at her. Sun was as shrewd as ever.
Then he said to her: "It's up to you whether you dig or not. I don't lack your family either. Before the wooden stakes were raised, I didn't know whether the talisman met my requirements or whether it was what I wanted. If not,
What I want, why should I spend so much money to collect it? I’m worried about it not being easy to ignite when burning firewood.”
Mrs. Sun didn't expect that when she was at Yue's house before, she just thought that this younger sibling was quiet, spoke little, and was mostly arrogant and knowledgeable. She didn't expect that she would become so good at talking and tactful now.
Yu thought for a while and asked: "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for this thing for? Can you tell us? This way we can find what you want in a targeted manner."
Qiao Mingjin glanced at Mrs. Yu and said: "I can only say that I made this thing to sell it for money. And this job is not done by me. Someone in the city asked me to come here because we have mountains here."
, the wood source is convenient, but the city is not having good luck, so they asked me to help with this job. I just get some hard money from it."
After Qiao Mingjin finished speaking, Sun said in her heart.
So that’s it.
Just say that Qiao Jin and her daughter can't afford to eat, so how can they have the money to collect these broken piles, tree roots and the like?
It turns out I did it for someone else.
I don’t know how much money she made from it? If she could also meet the person who asked for the job and take over the work, wouldn’t she get more money than digging wooden piles?
Sun's mind started to move.
She glanced at Qiao Mingjin again and then looked at the yard. Maybe this house and the four acres of land in front and behind the house were bought by others for her.
I don’t know who he is, but he must not do anything scandalous. Although it has nothing to do with her, it is only Yue Laosan who is laughed at by others. But she does not want her daughter to be criticized in the future.
Mrs. Sun then asked: "Jin Niang, who asked me to do this? When will this boss come to our village? We have a lot of family members. Let's see if he has anything else to do there. You two
Brother is still idle at home now. It would also be good to let your second brother help the rich master run errands and so on."
When Mrs. Yu heard this, she also echoed from the sidelines, saying that her man was also busy at home.
Qiao Mingjin couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
She was just using someone else's name to cover up the matter and avoid some trouble for herself. These two people took it seriously. And they were so shameless.
If there is a partner, is this the plan to kick her out and let the Yue family take over?
Qiao Mingjin smiled and said: "That master is usually too busy to come to our place to do this, so he asked me to do it. If you are interested, you can also go up the mountain to dig. If you are afraid
It's no use wasting your time, there's no need to work too hard."
Sun and Yu felt a little regretful after hearing this.
But he didn’t want to miss this good opportunity, so he said: “Okay. We will go back and tell my mother-in-law about this matter. Just Jin Niang, for the sake of the family, can you dig out the wood from our house?
Are you going to buy all the piles? You can’t sell them as firewood, right? How much are they worth?”
Qiao Mingjin looked at her and said calmly: "I can't make the decision in this matter. You also know that I did this for others. If I accept it from you, the boss will not be able to get through, so won't I still have to pay you back?
You also know that Wan'er and I don't even have a piece of land, so we have to go to the city to buy everything we need, which is no better than you."
After Qiao Mingjin finished speaking, she looked at the two sisters-in-law calmly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
