Mrs. Liu didn't say a word, and Shunniang waited for a while and didn't want to wait anymore, so she said: "Mother, since you let me disguise myself as a man to support the family, and now you have married a daughter-in-law, then you should treat me as a real happy family." Look at Erlang. Kecheng is my nephew, and I can't lose him, but I don't like that you think of him as more important than me, thinking that the Xi family property will be left to him. Don't even think about it, just arrived What kind of family business did we have in Yangliu Town? This is how we live a better life, and you are going to leave the family business to Kecheng, where did you put me? You understand the principle of family and everything. , I don’t want to really break up with you because I think Kecheng and Hui’er are young. After all, they are my elder brother’s children. I have to raise them to fulfill the responsibility of my second uncle. Also, you are also old Now, it's time to enjoy the blessings. I am willing to serve you with food, drinks and fun until you grow old, but don't worry about how to distribute the property, okay? I am the master of this matter, and no one else If you want to be the master, you won't do it!"

After finishing speaking, she also stood up, saying that she was going to take a shower and go to bed, and she would get up early tomorrow morning, and go to the city to deliver goods with Hei Wa, she was still worried about leaving the business to others, she had to do it herself secure.

After Shunniang walked two steps away, Mrs. Liu stopped her suddenly and said, "As long as the Xi family property doesn't fall into the hands of outsiders, it will be in your and Kecheng's hands, and I don't care."

Shunniang thought for a while and asked, "But Erniang and I want to adopt a child in the future? Is my child also an outsider?"

She didn't want to wait until the real adoption to say such things, but wanted to give her mother a vaccination first.

"What? You want to adopt a child with Erniang Xie?" Mrs. Liu asked in surprise when she heard the words.

Shunniang nodded: "If Erniang and I have no children, other people's gossip should drown us."

"..." Mrs. Liu was silent, with a gloomy face, and said, "Let's talk about this later. After you have lived with Xie Erniang for three years and nothing has happened, let's talk about this again. It's too early to talk about it now. Who knows what will happen next?"

"Yeah." Niang Shun nodded again, "Mum, you're right, let's talk about it later, then I'll go first."

Mrs. Liu: "Let's go."

Shunniang immediately walked out, leaving Liu Shi sitting cross-legged on the bed with a gloomy face, not knowing what she was thinking.

When I went straight to the kitchen at the back, Xie Erniang had already boiled the water. Shunniang carried the water to the firewood room to rinse, and then carried the water upstairs. There was Xie Erniang's dowry upstairs, a large bathtub, and Shunniang went back and forth After running three times, the water in the big tub was filled.

Xie Erniang took off her clothes in the two people's room upstairs, stepped on the footstool and went into the bathtub to take a bath. Shunniang watched with a smile on the side, and went up to help her rub her back. I got up irregularly and ran to the front.As a result, Xie Erniang couldn't take a good bath, so the two of them took a mandarin duck bath in the bathtub. Because the frolicking was not small, Liu and Qi downstairs heard it, and Kecheng asked her mother. What are uncle and aunt doing, Qi can only tell him that they are fighting and playing...

Shunniang really had a great time tonight, her wife let her to toss about, and spent a lot of time together, sweating profusely, and Shunniang, regardless of her fatigue, got out of bed and brought water Wipe Xie Erniang's body, Xie Erniang let her wipe everything this time, even though she was still coy.

This made Shunniang laugh to herself, after serving her, Shunniang also went to wash some clean water that she had prepared earlier in the morning, and then went to bed again and lay on the porcelain pillow.

Xie Erniang was lying on the other porcelain pillow, lying on her side, with the corners of her lips curled up quietly looking at Shunniang.

Shunniang asked her if she was not tired and why she was still awake.

Xie Erniang said, "Wait for you."

Shunniang moved her porcelain pillow closer to hers, picked up a cattail fan from the side of the bed, fanned her twice and fanned herself twice, and then told her that she was boiling water in Xie Erniang just now. The result of negotiating with my wife.

She told Xie Erniang that her old mother had let her be the housekeeper, but with a condition that she could only spend [-] Wen a month to arrange housework, including clothes for four seasons.

After hearing this, Erniang Xie asked Shunniang if she could arrange it?Six hundred Wen, daily food, including firewood, rice, oil and salt, can only spend [-] Wen, and the rest of the money has to be used to buy clothes, shoes and socks, as well as miscellaneous expenses at home, such as when someone is sick.

In fact, she didn't say anything clearly, that is, it was obvious that the mother-in-law was making things difficult for Shun Niang. The six hundred Wen that Xi's family spent before included Erniang, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and two children, that is, three adults. Expenses for two children.Now that I am married in, if it is still the six hundred Wen, then I will be quite tight.

Shunniang smiled and said, "I don't know if my mother is making things difficult for me? I still took it, but I am sure that the six hundred Wen can still be arranged. By the way, my mother said, you can spend your dowry as you like." She doesn't care about the money. Wife, you can just use the dowry money your parents gave you to buy what you want to eat, or go to your parents' place to eat meat. You might as well tell your parents clearly that you are cooperating I'm the housekeeper. You just spend your dowry, and I'll make it up for you in the future. This is called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. After I take care of it for a few months, my mother is convinced, and the family will let nature take its course in the future Just let me take care of it."

When she said this, Xie Erniang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Okay."

Shun Niang then said: "There is also money management..."

She told Xie Erniang what her mother asked how to manage the money, and in the same way, she expressed her thoughts later, she said: "If my mother wants to manage half of the money, let her take care of it. The money here belongs to me anyway." Domination, I want to do some other business and have some active money, the money from my mother should be regarded as the deposit of this family..."

Xie Erniang asked: "What is a deposit?"

"Ahem, that's the money that the family doesn't usually use, but it can be used for urgent needs." Shunniang found that although she had been wearing it for a year, she occasionally popped up a modern vocabulary, so she hurriedly asked her explained.

Xie Erniang said that her mother's family also had the money, and the money was in her mother's hands.

When Shunniang heard this, she thought that Xie Erniang was expressing her indirect dissatisfaction, that is why the money she earned, and the emergency savings were not in her hands?

As soon as she stretched out her hand, she took her into her arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said apologetically, "Miss, wait a few years, and I will definitely take care of the emergency money I earned. Let me tell you the truth." , I want to do coal business in the future, I won't let my mother know about that business, it belongs to you and me, and the children we adopt in the future. I have to be on guard, my mother just has no choice but to agree to me at the moment The housekeeper takes care of half of the money. When Kecheng grows up, she will split the family and take away my hard-earned family business. Tonight, I will talk to my mother about how to divide the family business of Xi’s family. She didn't say a word, and she didn't say what she meant, so I told her what I meant, anyway, I made it clear, and only I can share the family fortune I earned..."

"...It turns out that you have already made up your mind. Hey, I am actually not the kind of daughter-in-law who can't tolerate others. I am an official. Is it true that, as people say, when you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother?" Xie Erniang looked at Shun Mother asked suspiciously.

Shun Niang smashed her mouth and said slowly: "Can this person still be a baby in front of Mother for the rest of his life? Will he still be a baby at seventy or eighty? I think, people have to grow up, and they have to be parents. Fathers and mothers also have their own children and their own home, so they must plan for their own home and children. When a large family is together, there will always be people who think it is unfair, or that a bowl of water is not balanced, and there will be disputes. Anyway, I I don’t like the big family together, I’m afraid of these disputes, especially since I’m still a woman pretending to be a man, and I don’t have the confidence to deal with disputes. Now I’m still with my mother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece, It's just that they feel that they are old and young, and if they really split up, it will be hard for them..."

These words were also the first time Shunniang said to Xie Erniang, and she had only recently thought of them. She found that some thoughts really had to be experienced before they would be thought of.

Xie Erniang snuggled into Shunniang's arms, and said softly: "I heard you say that, I finally understand that it's not a bad thing to marry a wife and forget your mother, that's the way people always have to go..."

Shunniang: "You're right, we can respect my mother, but don't be filial. If I'm not at home in the future, my mother will treat you too much, so you go back to your mother's house next door. Don't be as knowledgeable as her, don't make noise with her, I’ll pick you up when I come back, and we’ll still live our lives. In a year or two at most, we’ll buy a house in the city, and we’ll move in first. I’ll come here every now and then, and I’ll be taking care of me. Damn."

"You don't take your mother to enjoy the blessings, can she be willing?"

"If she doesn't want to, she has to make a written agreement with me. In the future, she will not interfere in everything about the Xi family. Whether it is the housekeeper or the money management, as well as the family business of the Xi family, I will have the final say. I will let her be a Qingfu old lady, don't rely on the old to sell the old, and take care of the east and the west."

"Hey... If you do this, I'm afraid that my mother will seek death and life. If something really happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Don't worry, she won't do that. After all, Kecheng hasn't grown up yet. Don't worry..."

Shunniang patted Erniang Xie on the back lightly, feeling drowsy gradually. Before she fell asleep, she thought, it's really tiring to be the supporter of Xi's family. Not only do you have to think about how to make a fortune, but you also have to deal with these bad things .This Xi family is still a simple family with so many things to do, and those big families have even more things to do. It is definitely not easy to manage a big family that lives together as the patriarch.No wonder, as the old saying goes, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace, you can start a family only if you have the ability, manage the family well, then you can govern the country, and finally bring peace to the world, honestly, don’t lie to me.

Xie Erniang saw that Shunniang's voice was gradually lowering and her eyes were closed, so she rubbed against her chest, snuggled into her arms and fell asleep contentedly.They fell asleep, and the people downstairs also fell asleep safely.

The next day, when Xie's family was slaughtering a pig next door, the two woke up, and they had been in love with each other for a while, then put on their clothes and got up. The tub was cleaned up, and then I went to pick and weigh bean sprouts with Hei Wa in the room where the bean sprouts grow.Xie Erniang went to the kitchen to cook with her sister-in-law, Qi Shi. The two of them lit the fire, cooked porridge, kneaded dough, made cakes, and cooked vegetables. It was much faster than Qi doing the kitchen work alone.

Mrs. Qi peeked at Xie Erniang who was making dough and found that she was full of energy, her brows and eyes full of love, and she couldn't help but think of the movements she heard in bed last night. Although Xie Erniang deliberately suppressed that kind of voice, But occasionally I couldn't help it, and I still accidentally made a sound, and when I heard it in Qi's ears, I almost blushed.Her heart would be pounding at first, and then throbbing in pain.

When Erniang Xie looked at her, she hurriedly looked away, picked up a piece of firewood in a panic and put it into the stove, and then Erniang Xie reminded her that there was too much firewood in the stove, and it was smoking when it was blocked.Mrs. Qi frantically took out the piece of wood again, the smoke from the stove made her cough, she had to throw away the firewood and ran outside the kitchen to get some air.

Standing in the yard, Mrs. Qi looked at the starry sky above her head and took in the fresh air, and her chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.

She heard the squawking of pigs and people's voices when Xie's family next door slaughtered pigs, turned around and saw the lights in the breeding room in Xi's yard, the busy figures of Shun Niang and Hei Wa, and the people on the second floor of Liang's house next door. The lights are also on, presumably Erniang Liang has already woken up, and she is going downstairs to start grinding beans and making tofu...

She thought that everyone was busy, but she was the only one who was thinking wildly. It was ridiculous. Obviously, the morning stars in the sky and the lights on the ground were the same.

But after all, Shunniang is different. With Xie Erniang, she is like running water, which will never return. So, should I slowly stop thinking about her?

After Shunniang and Heiwa finished their work, they went into the kitchen to eat. Erniang Xie was the one who served them food and cakes, and Mrs. Qi watched silently from the side, occasionally passing a cake to them.

When the two of them finished their meal and left with the ox cart, it was Erniang Xie who sent the two of them out, while Mrs. Qi watched from afar.

Shunniang and Heiwa drove the ox cart to transport the bean sprouts into the city. Erniang Xie and Mrs. Qi came back to tidy up the kitchen, Mrs. Qi went to sweep the yard, and Erniang Xie went to tidy up the room where the bean sprouts grew.Mrs. Qi went back to the house to wipe the furniture in the main room, and Erniang Xie went upstairs to tidy up her own room.

After finishing all these, it was time for Mrs. Liu and the two children to get up.

Mrs. Qi went to help the two children get dressed, and Erniang Xie was going to make tea for her mother-in-law, and then went in with the tea to serve Mrs. Liu to drink tea, and waited for her to get up.

Mrs. Liu woke up this morning, her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. She didn't even drink the bowl of tea Xie Erniang was holding, so she taught Xie Erniang face to face: "Erlang's family is hard all day long. You, a lady, have to persuade her to cherish her body. Playing around as much as you want...I didn't sleep well all night, it was all because of you!"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Erniang almost couldn't hold the tea bowl in her hand, her face turned pale at first, and then turned red again.

She understood the meaning of her mother-in-law's words. She must have made some noise when she was in love with Shun Niang last night, which was heard by her mother-in-law.

To be honest, last night, when Shunniang wanted her, she repeatedly asked Shunniang not to be so violent, but when the love got stronger, not only Shunniang couldn't control it, but she tried her best to cover her mouth, but there was still a voice coming from her. Run out of the nose.In the back, her whole body was hot, and when she was floating around, she didn't know whether she made a sound or not.

The mother-in-law's words were clearly saying that she had no shame, seducing Shun Niang to do such shameful things, as if she was saying that she was a dissatisfied slut.But Xie Erniang felt so wronged, since she married Shunniang, she never took the initiative to seduce Shunniang to do that kind of thing, it was Shunniang who took the initiative to tease herself and do that kind of thing.If you want to blame, you can only blame the two people who live upstairs. If the upper level speaks louder, you can hear it downstairs. In the dead of night, if you make a little noise, you can hear it downstairs.What should I do, is it possible that I won't let Shunniang want me anymore, and stop doing such shameful things with her?Maybe if I don't do it, my mother-in-law won't say that.

"Mother..." Xie Erniang bit her lip, blushing and said, "In the future, I will..."

"I've said it more than once. If you're married, why don't you listen to me? Don't you know how your sister-in-law talks?"

"...The slave family..."

"Okay, you go out, seeing you makes me feel stuck!"

Xie Erniang was trained by Liu Shi so that her face turned red and then pale, and she retreated out with her head down holding the tea, and when she went outside, she almost shed tears.Although Shunniang had told her before that she didn't have to worry about her mother-in-law, if her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, she would go back to her natal home, and Shunniang could come to pick her up when she came back.But this is the third day of her marriage into Xi's family, and she will not be able to return to the door until tomorrow, and only after returning to the door can she run to her mother's house when she feels unhappy.

At that time, after Shunniang said that, she was very happy, but then she thought about it, someone's daughter-in-law would go back to her mother's house whenever she felt unhappy. Discord became the talk and joke of the idlers in the town.

Hey, this mother-in-law, who speaks harshly, is not at all the kind woman she looked like before she got married.

Xie Erniang felt that Mrs. Liu could not be compared with the mother-in-law of the Lu family her elder sister married. The elder sister's mother-in-law was gentle and reasonable.She thought, if she didn't love Shunniang to the bottom of her heart, how could she bear Liu Shi's anger, especially since it was only the third day of marriage, Liu Shi said a lot of bad words to herself, and she would have to get along for so long in the future. How should I go on?

Thinking of this, Xie Erniang really felt a headache.

After Mrs. Liu got up, Mrs. Qi and Xie Erniang went into the main room with congee, vegetables and steamed cakes, and the family began to eat breakfast.

Without Shunniang at home, Mrs. Liu's chin lifted, and she laid out her mother-in-law's sheet music perfectly, lecturing her two daughters-in-law, asking them to pay attention to this and that, what things can be done and what things can't be done. It can be done and so on.

She also asked Erniang Xie, before Shunniang left, did she tell her that Xi's family would be taken care of by Shunniang from now on, and did Shunniang leave twenty Wen to buy food for the family.

Xie Erniang replied: "The official said, she also left twenty Wen with me."

Mrs. Liu then said: "Give it to your sister-in-law and let her buy vegetables. You and the old man will not touch the money, and the old man also forgot to tell Erlang, just give the money to your sister-in-law."

Xie Erniang agreed, put down the bowl, went upstairs to get the twenty cash and handed it to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi took the money, looked at her mother-in-law, and said: "I will go buy some tofu and vegetables in a while, as my mother usually buys." Grocery shopping."

Mrs. Liu nodded and continued to eat. Xie Erniang sat down again and looked at the half bowl of porridge in the bowl. She really didn't want to eat it, but she was afraid that if she didn't eat it, her mother-in-law would say that she wasted food, and she had to take the half bowl of porridge. The cold porridge was eaten.

After dinner, Mrs. Liu took Kecheng and Huier to chat with Mrs. Ke at Liang's house next door. Mrs. Qi went to the street with a basket to buy vegetables and tofu. She went shopping with Mrs. Liu before, and knew which vegetables were cheap in this season. , and then point to the cheap ones, and bargain, and buy as many dishes as possible with as little money as possible. Only when you save on this, will you be more generous in other places, such as saving money to eat meat once every half a month...

Xie Erniang also has work to do. Before Liu Shi went out, she ordered her to wash the quilts on her own bed and Qi Shi's bed, and she opened the box and brought out many old clothes for Xie Erniang to wash together. She said Now that it is summer, the sun is good, and it is easy to wear it in autumn after washing.

This pile of things is enough for Xie Erniang to wash until noon, but Xie Erniang was not frightened, she was a hardworking person when she was at her mother's house, Liu Shi said let her wash it, so she can wash it.

In order to wash these things, she opened the door on the wall between Xi's house and Xie's house, and went to fetch water from the well of her mother's house next door. Her mother saw her, and her mother came over and looked at her with a smile, and then asked her where she would be when she got married. How are you doing now.

Xie Erniang said it was okay.

Mrs. Wu then asked her what she was doing carrying the water, and this was not the time to water the seeds. After all, Xi's family lived next door for so long, and Mrs. Wu also knew when the Xi's family was watering the species.

Xie Erniang said that her mother-in-law Liu asked her to wash the quilt and clothes.

Wu frowned when she heard this, and said, "Is your sister-in-law washing with you?"

Xie Erniang: "She was called by her mother-in-law to buy vegetables."

Mrs. Wu was a little displeased and said: "It's so easy to buy vegetables, but your mother-in-law arranges such an easy job for you. The new daughter-in-law has only been here for two days, and she is partial to this. Could it be that she doesn't know how to be happy?" Who is supporting the family, and who is earning money to support the family?"

Xie Erniang didn't expect that her mother would start to be dissatisfied with Liu Shi because of this arrangement for whoever bought the vegetables and whoever washed the quilt, and she dared not tell her mother those mean things Liu said.

She picked up the bucket and said that she would go back to wash the quilt, so that her mother would not say a few words, and she would just get married.

Mrs. Wu was about to hold her daughter to ask a few more questions, but seeing her daughter leaving in a hurry, she seemed unwilling to let her get involved in her husband's affairs, so she could only curl her lips and say nothing.

She thought that when her daughter came back three times tomorrow, she must hold her daughter and ask her how her daughter was doing after marrying into Xi's family, how did her officials treat her well, and other members of Xi's family, Liu, Qi, etc. How Shi treats her.

For some reason, Wu felt that her daughter was not doing very well in Xi's house, because when she saw her daughter came to fetch water just now, she had such a forced smile on her face, and she refused to elaborate when she was asked.
