"Little sister, does your mother know that you are coming?"

Sister-in-law Liu looked at them and asked.

The three people nodded in unison.

"My mother knew and asked me to come over and ask first, but she didn't know it would cost money."

"You go back now and explain clearly to your mother what your Aunt Yan said just now, and then come over and say it. If you don't agree, don't come over."

After they left, Sister-in-law Liu introduced the family situation of the three girls to Song Fuyu.

"The three of them are relatively obedient children, but their family conditions are not very good, especially the one on the left, Hu Xiaolan."

"She is the second daughter of Hu Yingchang's family. She has an older sister and two younger sisters."

Judging from the clothes of the three of them, Song Fuyu could roughly tell their family situation.

Hu Xiaolan is the girl who talks like a mosquito. Her clothes are full of patches, but they are quite clean after washing.

Although "poor", fortunately he is not lazy.

"Her grandma is a strong person. She feels that Hu Ying's family has not given birth to a son, so she requires them to remit half of their salary every month. As long as they don't receive the money in any month, I'm sure they will come to make trouble in a few days."

"Send half of your salary back, and the remaining money is less than 20 yuan. How can a family of six people use it?"

In the countryside, this much money is completely enough, but here except for living, which does not cost anything, you have to spend money everywhere.

"Camp Commander Hu doesn't protect his wife and daughter?"

"Hey...it's hard to say..."

"If that's the case, even if she is willing to come over, I can't accept her easily. If her grandma comes over to make trouble, I can't handle it."

"If her mother can't stand up on her own, she really can't do this."

Although she sympathized with the girl, Sister-in-law Liu and Song Fuyu maintained the same opinion in this regard.

When Yan Ziyuan came back for dinner at noon, Song Fuyu told him about this matter.

"It's really hard to talk about Lao Hu's family."

"It is said that his mother had a difficult delivery and suffered a lot when giving birth to him, so she obeyed his words and did not dare to resist at all."

"Is he the only one in their family?"

"No."

"I don't know exactly how many brothers and sisters he has, but they are definitely a lot more than ours."

"Ok."

In her opinion, this kind of man is nothing more than a mama's boy.

However, there are differences between him and ordinary mommies. Most mothers at least treat their sons well, but their mothers want half of his salary all at once, obviously not caring about their small family and his life and death.

"His wife and four daughters are pretty good, hardworking and hardworking. We buy the firewood for our family from them."

Only a small number of families like them who live in a house use firewood. Their eldest daughter will come to ask if there is a need to buy firewood before winter. If someone wants to buy firewood, they will spend time going to the mountains every day to chop firewood.

Song Fuyu felt a little sad after hearing this. She felt that Camp Commander Hu was a drag.

The five of them, mother and daughter, can live a better life without him.

This kind of person who can look for business opportunities for himself, who is not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and who can save face can actually live a good life anywhere, as long as there are no burdens.

However, in this era, divorce is not popular at all. If someone gets divorced, the man will not have much influence, but the woman will definitely be sprayed to death by the people around her.

Without the support of your maternal family, you must have a strong heart to bear the consequences of divorce.

The next day, what surprised her was that the three girls who came yesterday, the other two did not come, but Hu Xiaolan came.

"Aunt Yan, I want to learn embroidery from you."

"Your mother agrees?"

She nodded, then stretched out the hand she had hidden behind her just now, spread it out and placed it in front of Song Fuyu.

"I don't know how much tuition is needed. My mother gave me five yuan. Is it enough?"

Hu Xiaolan saw Song Fuyu staring at the money in her hand but not taking it. She was already very nervous and even started to tremble slightly.

"You can take the money back, I don't charge tuition."

"Aunt Yan, can't you accept me?"

Hu Xiaolan began to cry nervously when she spoke.

"It's not impossible to accept you..."

"Aunt Yan, are you worried about my grandma?"

"Ok!"

She didn't choose to hide it just because she was a child.

"Don't worry, if my grandma comes to make trouble, my mother said she will definitely cut off the money sent to her every month this time."

The reason why they send her money is partly because they don't want her to come over and make trouble whenever she has nothing to do, and partly because they want to create the illusion of being poor so that grandma won't take advantage of her.

They will help everyone cut firewood before winter. They can also help those who don't have time or don't want to grow vegetables. They also have the income from pasting matchboxes every month... All together, the five of them, mother and daughter, There is also an income of dozens of dollars every month.

Her father didn't even know how much money they earned each month, and her mother secretly saved it all.

Although their clothes were in tatters, they were all trying to hide themselves from others, and at the same time they could deceive their father and grandma.

"As long as your grandma doesn't make trouble at my place, I can accept you."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Yan, I will definitely study hard!"

How anxious Hu Xiaolan was when she came, how happy she was when she left.

She hopes to learn a trade and make a lot of money in the future, so that her mother and sisters don’t have to work so hard.

In the afternoon, Song Fuyu closed the door tightly and started making stewed vegetables in the kitchen.

She brought some of the old brine she made in the village and put it in the space.

The taste of new stew and old stew are quite different.

This time, in addition to marinating the water, a lot of fungus, potatoes, tofu, eggs...were all marinated.

Tomorrow she would entertain people to eat some, and she would store the rest in her space and take it out when she wanted to eat.

"Daughter-in-law, are you making braised vegetables? The smell is so overwhelming that you can smell it from a long way away."

When Yan Ziyuan came back from training, the people he walked with were still talking about whose cooking was so delicious. However, he didn't have to think at all. Just by smelling it, he knew it was made by his wife.

"I made a pot of braised vegetables and have braised pork rice tonight."

"Daughter-in-law, you have done so much to prepare to give it away?"

"Don't give it away."

"I forgot to tell you during lunch today. Tomorrow night, you call the people you are close to and treat everyone to a meal."

"Didn't you agree before that the three comrades who helped us move would come to your house for a drink? If they are free tomorrow, invite them all together."

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

He just didn't want her to bother her too much, so even if someone asked, he would refuse directly.

"It's okay. If I can't win, I'll ask Mrs. Liu to help me."

"Okay, I'll inform them tomorrow."
