Chapter 53 Making things difficult
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen asked Zhixin and the others to pick up Huixin. Xue was worried that Zhixin and Zhiming would not take good care of the two men, so she dragged Zhu to the town to pick up Huixin. Wenhan wanted to go to the restaurant to deliver fish, so he naturally followed him. Anyway, the work in the Gantian field has been almost done these days, and it was nothing to do with an old man leading Chen and the children.
It is not so easy to pick up the daughter who was out of the house. It is enough to prepare some gifts for the in-laws. In the morning, a lot of fish were raised. Xue and the others picked up two thin scales, some crickets caught by the children, and two hares. The hare was picked up from the trap dug by Zhixin and the others. Didn’t Zhixin and the others hold a stick when they were idle? They made many traps on the periphery of the stick. Every morning, the children would go to see if there was anything inside. For example, this morning, not only the rabbit, but also a roe deer. Zhixin asked this roe deer to be sent to the restaurant to see if it could be sold.
When he arrived in the town, he went to the restaurant first. Sure enough, when the manager of the restaurant heard that Wen Han said there was another roe deer, he asked for it. So, even the roe deer with a fish sold a total of one or two taels of silver. Wen Han quickly collected the money, said hello to the manager and came out of the restaurant.
Xue went to the dim sum shop to buy two packs of dim sum, and then everyone walked to the Tao family. As soon as they reached the gate of the Tao family, they had not yet been waiting to knock on the door when they heard something inside.
"What's so great about having a child? Which woman has never given birth to a child? Why are you so precious and you don't do anything? Why is our Tao family in trouble? When we marry you, a sick man, it's like a piece of paper, and you can't stand it or touch it. It's like the wind blows." The voice inside was the old lady of the Tao family.
"Isn't that? My sister-in-law, it's not my sister-in-law who said to you. I just want you to help wash a few Jingming's clothes. Anyway, you need to do something to do with your hands? When I was pregnant with Jingming, I didn't delay anything." This voice was Tao Qingfeng's wife Yu.
Xue and Zhixin couldn't listen outside, so Zhixin stepped forward and knocked on the door hard.
When he heard someone knocking on the door inside, he quickly said, "Wait a minute, come here." Someone inside quickly came to the gate and opened the door to see, "It's the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Xu family, come in quickly." It was Yu who opened the door.
Zhixin, Zhiming, Xue, Zhu's faces were a little bad. When he entered the door, he saw Huixin scrubbing his clothes in the yard, tears kept falling into the basin. In front of Huixin, there were a lot of children's clothes. These were not a few pieces, but a bunch of single, cotton, and clipped ones.
Xue stepped forward and pulled Huixin up, and saw Huixin's eyes red. "Girl, what's wrong? What about the New Year?"
Huixin didn't expect that it was her sister-in-law who came, so she quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine." She didn't know what to say.
"I said it's okay. You are less than three months pregnant. It's the time to be careful. Why are you still washing so many clothes? How many clothes can you and Qingnian have? Whose belong to these? You don't have children, so where did you get the children's clothes?" Xue had heard it outside long ago, and he asked on purpose.
Yu said quickly, "Sister-in-law Xu, these are the clothes that my family Jingming wears. I was thinking, "Didn't this Huixin have this? These clothes will save you time and make new ones. Look, you just found them and want to wash them and keep them for easy use."
"Oh, I have to thank his sister-in-law, but why do I see that these clothes are worn by three or four-year-old children? Even if we Huixin has given birth, we can't use them for the time being, right? I think his sister-in-law should keep them by himself. Doesn't your family have a dick? Keep them for the dick." Tao Qingfeng's family has two children, the eldest is already four years old, and the second is only two years old, and these clothes are clearly the ones of the eldest.
The old lady of the Tao family also came to the front of her, "My sister-in-law Huixin, are you here today?"
"Aunt, my mother misses her daughter. Let's pick Huixin up and stay for a few days. Anyway, Huixin is like this now, so she can't do anything. She just happened to go back to live in her parents' home for a while." After all, the two families were still in-laws, so they couldn't make a fuss. Xue smiled and said.
"Hui Xin's sister-in-law, it's not the care of being an aunt. Hui Xin has a body. It will take more than an hour from the town to your participation. Besides, there are not many good things on the mountain, and there are some bobcats and beasts. Hui Xin can't go. If there is a bump, how can it be?" Old Mrs. Tao refused to let anyone go.
"Don't worry, aunt, we are Huixin's brother and sister-in-law. We have treated Huixin as if we were young. How could she bump into her? The head of the house, go to the pharmacy shop and tell Qingnian, and say we should take Huixin back and stay for a while, so that he should not keep it in mind." Xue ignored this and asked Zhixin to go to Qingnian.
"Okay, I'll talk about it now. The couple must know where their wife is going." Zhixin often goes out as he said. Today, the old man from the Tao family and Qingfeng were not at home, so he went out to do carpentry work for them. Only the old lady and Yu were at home. It was difficult to get Zhixin now, so he could only watch Zhixin leave.
On this side, Xue stepped forward to grab Huixin and went back to the house to pack things. Zhu rubbed out the New Year's clothes in a few seconds, hung them on the rope, then splashed the water out, and then went into the house to help pack things.
In the room, Xue helped Huixin clean up a few pieces of clothes, "Girl, tell the truth to your sister-in-law, are they always bullying you?"
"It's okay on weekdays. When the old man was at home, they dared not bully me. If the old man and Qingnian were not around, the old lady would talk with thorns and the sister-in-law was still sipping, and I wouldn't talk back to others, so I could only listen." Huixin sat on the edge of the kang and said, tears fell down. "It was better before, but just now, I heard that our family moved to the mountain, but the nose was not the nose, and the face was not the face. The old lady also said something strange every day.
I didn't understand at first, but later I realized that I was going to fill my parents' house and refused to take it out for them to spend money." Huixin said while crying. "I am pregnant with my child and I still do not delay washing my nephew's clothes, but I don't need me to wash them, right? If I don't wash them, they will be useless and I won't make a fuss with them. If my sister-in-law hadn't come, I would have to hold it in my stomach."
Xue sighed. When they got married, they were worried. It was because Tao Qingnian was sincere in Hui and Huixin also liked Qingnian, which made the two of them satisfy him. At that time, Chen knew that Huixin would be angry when she got married. "Sister, put all your things together, lock them up. Let's go back and stay for a few more days this time."
Zhu came in and helped to clean up the things together. Huixin's dowry box was locked in the inner room. When she came out of the inner room, she locked the door of the room.
At this time, Zhixin also found Qingnian from the pharmacy. Everyone helped to help Huixin into the car, lay a small quilt underneath, and let Huixin sit on her head.
Qingnian was scolded by Zhixin just now, and then she realized that her mother and sister-in-law bullied Huixin at home. At this moment, she looked at Huixin's red eyes and felt very uncomfortable. "Go home and stay for a while, and I will pick you up after I figure out the matter at home. Do you know?" Qingnian held Huixin's hand and reminded her.
Huixin nodded as she listened to Qingnian's words. She couldn't bear to celebrate Qingnian, but she was really bored to live in this house. "Qingnian, I'll wait for you to come."
Zhiming drove the ox cart home. Qingnian kept watching the ox cart leave without any shadow, and then turned back home. Old Mrs. Tao looked at her son's bad expression and knew that Zhixin must have complained just now, "You don't have to show that face. We didn't treat your wife. We just asked her to wash a few pieces of clothes. Who is the wife who doesn't wash clothes and cook? Why is she so delicate?" Tao Qingnian is the second child at home and has not been valued by the family since she was a child. However, Qingnian has been good at being good and has learned a lot of good skills from others. Now most of the money in the family is earned by Qingnian. In this way, the old lady is a little scared of this second son.
Qingnian didn't say anything, just looked at her mother, and the old lady felt a little embarrassed. "Mom, you didn't like Huixin from the beginning, I know this. I thought you could be kind to Huixin for the sake of the children in Huixin's belly. Not to mention it's like you do to my sister-in-law, but you have to be able to live a good life. I didn't expect that once I was not at home, you would just squeeze Huixin like this. She has been weak since she was a child, and now she is pregnant, so she can't get angry. What does it mean to squeeze Huixin like this?" After all, she is a mother, so Qingnian is not too good to say, and her tone is very peaceful.
The old lady was asked by her son's few words and couldn't answer. She hadn't been optimistic about the Xu family at all. If her son hadn't said that if she hadn't married Huixin, he would have been a bachelor for the rest of her life. The old lady wouldn't have agreed to this marriage. Huixin got married and brought some dowry, but she didn't say she was taking out some money to give it to the family, which made the old lady feel very uncomfortable. In addition to the Xu family's affairs, she always thought about it. But she didn't expect that Huixin's belly was so prosperous that she got pregnant after only three months of marriage. Now, Qingnian even treated Huixin as a treasure and didn't let her do anything. The old lady and Yu felt uncomfortable, and it would be difficult for Huixin to see that she was empty. Yu was a relative of the old lady's family, so the two of them were naturally the same.
