In the past, Zhou Cuiliu was definitely considerate, but now she doesn't show up when the Zhou family appears outside, no matter how much they beg or say.
Such an attitude towards your mother's family cannot be considered considerate, right?
Chu Yunli took the tea and paused slightly when she heard the last sentence. She felt funny and a little relieved. At least Zhou Cuiliu didn't follow the Zhou family in treating her daughter. She knew that those who love their children would never be any worse.
I was thinking about this in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, pretending not to hear it.
He Hua, who was standing next to her, glanced at Zhou Cuiliu's belly and realized something. She also echoed, "Yes, a girl definitely has less worries than a boy."
The two sisters looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly, and began to talk about the little girl's cuteness and well-behavedness to the mother-in-law who was standing next to her without any emotion.
The epidemic in the town is gone, but people continue to drink the medicine given by the Chen family. They probably drink it as hot soup. Seeing this, Mr. Chen changed the medicine into a paste of whole grains with wild vegetables, although there was not much grain in it.
, but the food at the homes of many people in the town was not as good as this. For a time, many people went to receive it, and many people whose families could barely afford to eat also ran to receive it.
On the other side of the county town, there are more than a dozen porridge shacks set up at the city gate, where wealthy businessmen in the city help the victims. This is also the reason why many people are willing to leave their hometowns to escape famine. When encountering such generous wealthy businessmen, they can just give half of the porridge.
Month to month, as long as you don't get sick, you really don't have to worry about dying.
By the twelfth lunar month, the town has returned to some liveliness. In fact, with various warnings, most people have hidden some food. Therefore, at this time, many people are thinking of ways to buy new year's goods and celebrate the new year.
Chu Yunli is no exception. The piglets at home are too small, because there are not many wild vegetables and they are not very long, but they have saved a lot of eggs. Of course, the Zhao family has made new clothes and shoes, and there are meat and eggs at home.
, there is no need to prepare any New Year’s goods.
And many people who fled the famine came back.
During the Chinese New Year, if it is not necessary, I will find a way to rush home.
The five or six members of the He family came back from outside in tatters and went to the village chief's home first. He Hua was so happy that she quickly went to the village chief's home and came back crying soon. She ran to kneel in front of Chu Yunli.
Next, "Mom, can I bring my parents over to live with you?"
As early as when she heard that the He family was back, Chu Yunli had guessed this possibility. Before she could say anything, two people were already chasing after her outside. If it wasn't He Hua's parents, who could they be?
Before getting married, the He family couple was a little picky about Zhang Yuer because of the relationship between the two children. Zhao Cai's father's short life was also somewhat disadvantageous for his marriage. Many families did not consider being raised by a widowed mother.
The child's. Therefore, the He family was a little dissatisfied with the Zhao family. Although they did not say it explicitly, some meaning was revealed in their words.
Even if the marriage finally came to fruition, it would have been the result of the Zhao family's high hopes.
Who would have thought that Pai Village, which has not been flooded for a hundred years, would have such a huge flood and wash away everything. However, the Zhao family woman was afraid of death and hid the grain and two pigs. Today, the Zhao family's house and grain
They all have it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the richest family in the village.
As for the He family, now... the real situation has changed. Seeing his daughter kneeling on the ground, He's father smiled bitterly and stepped into the door, "My mother-in-law, this kid Hua'er is talking nonsense, don't believe it."
Mother He's face was full of bitterness and she agreed, "Yes."
Chu Yunli reached out and pulled He Hua up, "Don't do this in front of your parents. I didn't ask you to kneel down. You acted like this when your parents came back. They thought I was bullying you."
Hearing this, He Hua became anxious and hurriedly turned around to explain, "Dad, Mom, my mother is very good and didn't bully me. I was just too anxious.
Father He looked at his daughter who was wearing a fine cloth coat. There was not a single patch on it. The clothes were all new. The shoes on her feet were also 80% new. The uppers were clean, but the edges of the shoes were covered with mud. It was obvious that they had just been stained.
. His daughter has a rosy complexion, which is difficult to maintain at ordinary times, let alone when the family is short of food. Without his daughter's explanation, he also knows that she is living a very good life in the Zhao family. The more this happens, the better the He family will be.
You can't be shameless and take advantage, as that will only drag down your daughter, cause discord between her husband and wife, make her mother-in-law not like her, and lead to a troubled life.
Next to him, Mother He swept a neat and tidy yard. There was no shortage of buckets, brooms, hoes and baskets in the yard. Being able to buy these things now proves that the life of the Zhao family is really good. When she saw her daughter, she was obviously
Newly made clothes, he turned his head to look at Father He.
The couple looked at each other and were both calculating.
Chu Yunli said with a smile, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
As soon as they walked in, a warm breath hit their faces. Chu Yunli smiled and invited them to sit down. He Hua had already poured hot tea.
Father He sighed, "I left in a hurry and left the flowers to her aunt, asking her aunt to help find a suitable match. Unexpectedly, these two children came together after going round and round. It turns out that I saw Ah Cai
This child is good, honest and kind, Hua'er is lucky to be able to marry into your Zhao family, her mother and I are very happy."
Chu Yunli smiled, "That's good. I asked you for flowers, but I was afraid you wouldn't be happy."
"How is that possible?" He's mother took over the conversation with a smile, "Now that I want to marry you, I can't talk to any girl. It's Hua'er's blessing."
The tone is humble.
Chu Yunli sighed in her heart, "You just came back, our yard is not big..."
"Don't bother your mother-in-law." Father He had already interrupted her, "We will leave tomorrow. There are many porridge sheds in the county where porridge is put out every day. We will come back because we can't put out flowers. Now that she is doing well, we can
Don’t worry. After the Chinese New Year, I can still find a job in the county."
Mother He nodded in agreement.
What Father He said was well planned and well-founded, and it was obvious that it was not made up.
"What I mean is that our family can't live in it. Why don't you move to the cave over there first and wait until after the New Year?" Chu Yunli suggested, "Although I don't know what the court's plans are for us people affected by the disaster, but stay in Pai Village.
After the Chinese New Year, the land should be divided, and these farmers still need land to live in peace."
After hearing this, Mother He vaguely guessed something, and said tentatively, "But there is nothing? There is no food for the next meal..."
"Take some from us." Chu Yunli thought about it, "Take fifty pounds first. You should have enough to eat until spring. The vegetables in the fields will also come out by then." I will definitely plant the land in spring and wait until autumn.
Enough.
The couple of the He family were a little excited. Father He even stood up, "Really...really?" He looked at He Hua and then at Chu Yunli, "Thank you very much, we will definitely return it in the future!"
Fifty kilograms of grain is very valuable nowadays, but in the first half of the year, the bride price for marrying a wife will not be more than that.
The couple of the He family took their children and grandchildren to the cave to clean up. He Hua was so happy that she dragged Zhao Cai to help. In the evening, they divided fifty kilograms of grain and pulled it there.
Zhou Cuiliu stood in the yard and watched, with a complex look on his face.
After closing the door, Chu Yunli saw her standing in the yard next door thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you think I am partial? Lend to the He family but not willing to lend to the Zhou family?"
"No!" Zhou Cuiliu shook his head, "I just think that people's hearts are complicated, and my mother can always see clearly. You know that the Zhou family is not worth helping. If you give them food, it's just like meat buns beating dogs, so you can't be grateful." But the He family just doesn't care.
The enthusiasm on the mother's face shows the gratitude in the hearts of the He family.
Describing the Zhou family's meat buns as beating dogs and so on, it shows that Zhou Cuiliu really hated her mother's family.
Chu Yunli was happy in her heart, "Go back, it's cold outside, be careful where you step." Then she remembered something, "If the Zhou family knows that the He family has borrowed food, they will definitely come to you again."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhou Cuiliu's lips, "What's the use of asking me? The fact that they can't borrow food proves that they have failed as a person. After all, the Li family are also in-laws."
As for the Li family, after Mrs. Li returned home, the Zhou family went to pick her up twice but failed to pick her up.
This in-law... I'm afraid it's not very reliable.
Chu Yunli just thought about it for a moment, but she didn't expect that when she got up in the morning on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, she suddenly saw He Hua's mother coming in a hurry.
"I went to town today and heard that the girl from the Li family..." After she finished speaking, she realized that Zhou Cuiliu was also there, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Cuiliu asked curiously, "Which girl from the Li family is there? What's wrong?"
He's mother became more and more uncomfortable, and felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, after today, everyone who should know will know. She coughed again and said, "It's your sister-in-law. She got remarried today."
Zhou Cuiliu: "..." Does this count as a wish coming true?
"Who are you marrying?" she asked.
Mother He lowered her voice and said, "The owner of Liang's Winery in town, his wife went back to her parents' home in the village on the day of the flood and was unable to escape."
"These are not important. What is important is that we are getting married today. When I came back just now, I saw that your parents and eldest brother had gone to the Liang family and were making trouble."
Zhou Cuiliu was speechless and asked for a long time, "What happened next?"
Generally, women would leave after watching something exciting, especially since it was still early in the morning and there was no reason to leave early.
Mother He looked at her belly and said, "I told you not to worry."
in a hurry?
How fresh. Whenever Zhou Cuiliu thinks of the Zhou family, she thinks of her stomach pain, her whole body going weak, her despair when she can't breathe and has to work hard to climb the mountain.
She nodded, secretly expecting someone to help clean up the Zhou family.
"Your eldest brother's leg was hit by a stool thrown by Dong Liang's family. I'm afraid it was... broken!"
Zhou Cuiliu: "..."
Chu Yunli: "..." Sure enough, he can kill himself.
