Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

"Mom, there are birds on the quilt!" Wu Xiaoxue's bright eyes looked at the red quilt with joy in her eyes.

"Silly girl, this is not a bird, this is a mandarin duck." Liu Yu couldn't help laughing when she heard the little girl's childish words, and quickly brought a chair next to the table for Liu Meixiang to sit.

"Xiaoxue, do you want to touch her?" Liu Yu saw that the little girl really liked it, so she went to take Wu Xiaoxue to bed.

"Don't!..." Liu Meixiang saw Liu Yu was about to put the person on the bed, so she hurriedly shouted to stop her. She looked at Changsheng's expression again, and saw that the person was also smiling, and she was slightly relieved.

"No, Xiaoxue is a girl. She can't touch the marriage bed within three days of the wedding." As he said this, he wanted to take Wu Xiaoxue from Liu Yu's hand.

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized why her eldest sister was acting like this. It was a rule that had been circulating in the village that for newlyweds to get married, within three days after the wedding, girls, pregnant women, and husbands were not allowed to touch the bedside.

Liu Yu glanced at Wu Xiaoxue in her arms. The little girl's originally smiling face was filled with fear. She was also struggling to get up and down. She couldn't help but tighten her arms and look at Liu Meixiang.

He frowned lightly and said: "Eldest sister, we Xiaoxue are so well-behaved children, they are not at all like the temperament that eldest sister had when she was at our house. Even though I was young at the time, I still remember that eldest and second sisters did not take these things seriously. You guys When I got married, according to the rules, I couldn't touch any of your dowry items. When my eldest sister saw that I liked the pomegranate flowers embroidered on my wedding dress, she touched a handful of them with my hand and said that she would embroider them for me when I get married."

Liu Meixiang's eyes were filled with water when she heard this. She was always playful and free-spirited at home. Although her parents valued her little brother Liu Yan more, they were very tolerant and loving towards them.

Liu Meixiang blinked, forced a smile, turned around, dug into her arms, took out three folded pieces of cloth and handed them to Liu Yu, saying: "How dare you say such a long string of words?" Wait for me here! This is a wedding gift for you and Changsheng."

After that, he looked at Chang Sheng who was sitting on the wedding bed with a crimson face and a happy face, and said sincerely: "Sister, my embroidery skills are not very good. Don't dislike simplicity. I hope you two will live in harmony and have many children and happiness."

Changsheng quickly stood up and took it, and sincerely thanked Liu Meixiang: "Thank you, eldest sister."

Liu Yu put Wu Xiaoxue on the bed and looked at the piece of cloth in Changsheng's hand together.

After unfolding it, he discovered that it was a pillowcase embroidered with pomegranate flowers. It was made of moon-white thick cotton, with pomegranate flowers thinly embroidered with red thread. Liu Yu stroked the thick cotton embroidered pillow cover and sighed inwardly.

"Ah, this is a pomegranate flower, I recognize it." Wu Xiaoxue also put her head over at some point and said with a smile.

"My second uncle and second aunt's winter quilt is of this color. It's so beautiful. There's a pair of flying birds on it..."

"Xiaoxue!" Liu Meixiang's voice was slightly louder, calling to Wu Xiaoxue who was chattering non-stop.

"Mom..." Wu Xiaoxue saw her mother frowning and looking at her, and she couldn't help but flatten her mouth in grievance. She slid down from the kang, walked to Liu Meixiang, and hugged her thigh tightly.

"I got married to your eldest brother-in-law, Dongyue, and in February of the new year, the second eldest brother-in-law married his mother-in-law. Xiaoxue's grandma said that all the money at home was used up as a betrothal gift for me, so she took my quilt and said she would use it first. When the wheat is harvested, you pull out the quilt cover for me; when the cotton is harvested in autumn, you give me the cotton wadding."

Liu Meixiang saw Liu Yu's cold eyes staring at her for a moment, and knew that she couldn't hide her feelings, so she simply told the truth.

"Will she make up for it later?" Seeing his eldest sister's dejected look, Liu Yu already had the answer in her heart.

"No, taxes have to be paid on the wheat, debts have to be repaid, and the cotton has to be left for the eldest grandson who is still in the womb to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts. We can shirk it for two or three years and never mention it again."

Liu Meixiang didn't think it was a big deal when she said these frustrating things in front of Chang Sheng. It was just that on this happy day, she was ruined by her own shabby things, and she couldn't get over it.

Liu Yu frowned slightly, and was about to say something when she heard a burst of noise in the yard, and occasionally there were children crying and cursing!

"What's wrong!"

Just as Liu Yu was about to go out to take a look, she saw her eldest sister walking out in a hurry, and her eldest brother-in-law's anxious voice came over.

"Wow wow wow... I want to go back and tell grandma to teach him a lesson. If he hits me, uncle, please help me fight him back. Please help me fight him back quickly..."

Liu Yu just stepped out of the room and saw a boy tearing and crying at the clothes of his eldest brother-in-law Wu Ping.

Standing next to them was a boy with a stubborn look on his face and a little brother who was crying loudly.

Wu Ping looked up and looked at the stubborn-looking boy next to him who seemed to have said something. The boy didn't answer. Wu Ping's face was full of helplessness, and he couldn't turn around to coax the other boy who was yelling.

"I don't, I don't, you hit him quickly, hit him quickly, if you don't run away I will go back and tell grandma to take care of you and my aunt, hit him quickly..."

Without the elder sister's introduction, Liu Yu knew that this must be Wu Yong's eldest son who came with him for dinner today.

"What's wrong? You Zhu." Liu Yu walked forward quickly, picked up Yang Xiaojing who was crying, and asked Yang Youzhu who was clenching his fists and pursed his lips.

At this time, the first round has been eaten, and the man who came to help was removing the dishes. Seeing the child crying, holding the tray back and forth to collect the dishes, he watched the excitement and ignored his advice.

"Uncle, aunt!" When Yang Youzhu saw Liu Yu and Liu Meixiang coming over, he hurriedly called for someone, his face full of stubbornness, and he didn't look at Wu Chengxue who was crying on the side.

Just now he heard from the eldest sister about the evil things done by the old woman. Wu Yong knew that it was the eldest sister's dowry, but he still took it for himself with peace of mind. Now seeing Wu Chengxue's unreasonable and unreasonable appearance, he naturally felt a little unhappy.

I ignored him and just asked Yang Youzhu: "Tell my uncle what's going on."

Although Yang Youzhu is only nine years old, he is very articulate and can explain things clearly in a few words.

It turned out that Liu Yunxiang was going to go in to make a fuss about the newcomers, but Liu Maolin and Xu Hong were worried about Zhao Tianyu who was at home. They also had to deliver meals to the lonely elderly people in the village and the elders in the village who were inconvenient to come to dinner.

He asked Liu Yunxiang to wait for a while, saying that after the banquet started, he also asked Liu Yunxiang to take a few bowls of rice back to Zhao Tianyu, mother and daughter.

When Liu Yunxiang left, she gave Yang Youzhu a few candies. Tell him to be good and keep an eye on his sister.

Wu Chengxue, who was eating at the banquet, saw this boy. After getting off the banquet, he asked Yang Youzhu for candy. Yang Youzhu knew that this was a relative brought by his aunt, so he gave him one.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chengxue Chewba Chewba reached out to ask for it again, but there were only two candies left in his hand. These were reserved for himself and Xiaoxue, but Yang Youzhu refused to give them.

After trying two attempts to get him, Wu Chengxue came to snatch Brother Jing's hand, but was beaten up by Yang Youzhu.

After hearing the cause and effect, Liu Yu patted the little man's shoulder, put down Brother Jing who was sobbing softly, and asked them to play with Xiaoxue in the room.

"He can't leave. My candy, that's my candy. A girl like Wu Xiaoxue deserves to eat candy. My grandpa and grandma said that everything in the uncle's house will be mine from now on. It will be convenient to raise her in the future." I’ll exchange the betrothal gift for the candy you gave me.”
