After eating, Qiao Mingjin went to the kitchen to boil water for herself and her daughter to take a bath.
She had to take a shower every day before going to sleep. Even though Wu scolded her for wasting firewood, she did not change her original intention.
Seeing that she went to collect firewood almost every day, Mrs. Wu said nothing more.
The rest of the family went to the well to wash themselves. When the man came back from washing, Wu and his two daughters-in-law went there with their children.
Sister Xiu also came to call her several times. At first, Qiao Mingjin was still dizzy. Later, she felt that although the water in the well was underground water, it was warm when she pumped it up.
Boil hot water and wash.
Yue Zhongyao came back from taking a bath at the well and opened the door. An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the mother and daughter were lying on the bed talking quietly.
Yue Zhongyao raised his lips and took off his outer clothes and walked to the bed.
When Yue Zhongyao opened the door, Qiao Mingjin knew it and she remained silent.
There is no extra room in the house, and she is already well now. If she pushes Yue Laosan out, everyone will probably find it strange. The two have also given birth to a daughter, and Qiao Mingjin is not that coquettish. As long as he
As long as you don't touch yourself, it's okay to sleep in the same bed.
"Is Wan'er still asleep? What are you whispering to mother?"
Yue Zhongyao lifted up the separate quilt on the bed and lay down in it. On the other side, the mother and daughter made a bed of their own.
Yue Zhongyao's eyes looked a little dim, but thinking about the future, he had been separated from his mother and daughter for another four years. He just thought that he would have enough time to warm up to them, so he was not so entangled.
Wan'er lifted her little body from the quilt and looked at Yue Zhongyao. This was the first time she slept in the same bed as her father.
Feeling a little excited, she looked at her mother and asked, "Want to sleep together?"
Seeing Qiao Mingjin nodding towards her, she felt a little excited, so she simply stood up and looked at Yue Zhongyao.
Yue Zhongyao smiled and simply picked her up and put her between him and Qiao Mingjin. He had always been looking forward to getting close to his daughter.
Qiao Mingjin looked at him and thought for a while, it was good this way. With her daughter sleeping in the middle, it would be less embarrassing. Then she let her daughter lie down on Yue Zhongyao's bed, and she lay down face-in.
Wan'er looked at her mother and then at her father. Just as she was about to get under her mother's bed, her father grabbed her and started talking to her chest.
Qiao Mingjin listened to the whispers of the father and daughter, and after listening for a while, she fell asleep...
Early the next morning, when mother and daughter woke up, Yue Zhongyao was no longer in bed.
It seems like I got up a little late.
After the mother and daughter were ready, they opened the door and walked out.
Then I heard Wu's sharp voice: "Did you hear me talking to you? The last time my mother-in-law came over, she told you to ask someone to come to your house to ask for marriage as soon as possible. Her mother-in-law is already over seventeen years old.
Now, how long do you want her to wait?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Zhongyao's slightly helpless voice was heard: "Mom, I just came back, and you make me worry about getting married. How will others see me? Besides, Jin Niang helped me bring up the child by herself, how can I?"
Can you do something that makes her sad as soon as you come back?"
It was Wu's sharp voice again: "Why should she be sad? It's just that I didn't give birth to a grandson for my in-laws. Fortunately, you came back in good health. If something unexpected happened to you and I didn't leave you a heir,
She is the sinner of my in-laws' family! Liu Engong saved your life and didn't ask you to do anything difficult. He only asked you to marry his daughter. You don't want such a beautiful thing! Oh, be that ungrateful person.
Do others look down upon you?"
Yue Zhongyao argued: "I don't want to be an ungrateful person! I didn't say I wouldn't marry her, I just want to wait for a while!"
He then heard Wu say loudly: "Wait, wait, wait until when! Wait until the Liu family has spent all their money before marrying someone back? What's the use of marrying a freeloader?"
Yue Zhongyao felt powerless for a while. When did his mother become like this?
"Mom, we are such a big family, why would we, who have the money, be greedy for other people's money? Besides, my monthly salary of eight hundred cents a month is enough for family expenses! You want me to be a freeloader?
What do others think of me? How can I hold my head high in front of my colleagues?"
Then I heard Mrs. Wu say loudly: "How can this be called greedy for other people's money? It was agreed that half of the money would be given to her as a dowry and brought to our home, and we were not the ones to rob her. When she marries into our home, the money will naturally be
Our family! How long will it take for you to save 25 taels of silver from 800 yuan a month? With that money, I can find Xiaoman a husband's family in the town or city, and I will be a helper to you in the future.
"
Then I heard Yue Xiaoman's voice: "Mom, I don't want other people's money!"
I heard Wu's scolding voices, Yue Xiaoman's, and Yue Laosan's arguing with Wu...
Qiao Mingjin held her daughter and stood still at the door. Wan'er also quietly held her mother's hand and stood on the ground.
Qiao Mingjin glanced at her well-behaved daughter and said, "How about Mommy playing with Wan'er picking up pebbles?"
After hearing this, Wan'er nodded directly to her mother.
Qiao Mingjin took her daughter back to the room...
After lunch, when everyone was resting at home, the Qiao family and the Yun family arrived after receiving a message from Qiao Mingjin.
The Yue family was stunned for a while, while Mrs. Wu turned around and entered the kitchen with a guilty conscience. Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu were a little excited and stood in the courtyard as if they were watching a good show.
Only Yue Zhongyao greeted him with a happy face.
"Father-in-law, two uncles, brother Jue, and cousin, why are you here?"
Father Qiao glanced at him and said, "Why, we can't come?"
Yue Zhongyao saw that Father Qiao's face was serious and a little irritable, so he hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just a long way. If I inform my son-in-law, I can call a car to pick you up."
Yun Jin glanced at him and said: "That's not necessary. You are a busy man. My sister was pushed and injured in bed at your house for more than ten days, and no one even remembered to inform us. We don't dare to expect that.
Pick up and drop off by car.”
After hearing this, Yue Zhongyao glanced at Mrs. Wu, who was listening at the door of the kitchen, and saw that she was his mother. He also said that it was nothing important, and the journey was long, so it was inconvenient to come there, so he did not ask anyone to notify her.
The old Yue Tou came up to say hello, and he and his three sons hurriedly welcomed the people into the main room.
Mingjue greeted Qiao Mingjin, picked up Wan'er who looked happy, and held her in his arms.
Yue Zhongyao turned around and saw his daughter smiling so happily in his brother-in-law's arms, his eyes darkened. He glanced at the mother and daughter, and then followed him into the house.
Qiao Mingjin also raised her feet and prepared to follow her in. Wu hurriedly slipped over from the kitchen, stood at the door of the main room, and gouged Qiao Mingjin with her eyes. However, Qiao Mingjin didn't even look at her, and she was so angry that she felt blocked again.
After everyone in the hall took their seats, before the old Yue-tou could speak, Father Qiao said to Yue Zhongyao: "I heard that you are marrying a new person? Or are you an equal wife?"
