Lucky husband

The aggrieved Qian Xinghua was on the verge of being irritable while cursing in a low voice while cooking medicine.

At this time, her eldest daughter Li Mingchun walked into the kitchen: "Mother, I washed the cabbage, where do I put it?"

"Let it go, let you go, you big-headed ghost. Your brain is just a decoration. I don't know how to cut it out after washing it. I have to tell my mother everything. After cutting the cabbage, I will bring back a basket of pigweed. Come back for dinner!" Qian Xinghua scolded her eldest daughter, and even pinched Li Mingchun's shoulder fiercely, it was only natural for her to vent her anger on her daughter when she was in a bad mood.

Li Mingchun shrugged and agreed to come down, quickly chopped the cabbage, and then went to the mountain with a basket and a sickle on his back. Li Mingxia, who saw this scene in the yard, hesitated and followed her sister to help.

Because there are steamed eggs and boiled medicine in the kitchen, Lao Li’s dinner is a little later than usual. Fortunately, the sun is now longer than before, and the sky can still be seen when eating. oil lamp.

Farmers don't pay much attention to food and sleep, and the men in the family are busy working in the fields during the day, and everyone talks about everything at the dinner table.

The most important thing in old Li's house today is Jiang Zhiyun's pregnancy. After Mrs. Li said it, old man Li smiled rarely, and told Jiang Zhiyun to take good care of her and give birth to the child smoothly.

Then Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe and his wife also said a few words, the following is Li Chengli and Qian Xinghua's couple, Qian Xinghua's eyes rolled: "Third brother and sister, you must be more careful when you finally get pregnant again, it's okay now that the moon is light, When the month is old, don't lie down all day, come out and move around more, or wait until the time of delivery..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Li pressed her chopsticks on the dining table with a "snap". Qian Xinghua shuddered in fright and forgot what she was going to say next. The whole dining room fell silent instantly. Everyone's eating actions stopped as if they had pressed the pause button.

"Second brother, should you say something, should you say that you don't know anything?" Mrs. Li stared at Qian Xinghua sharply. How could she not know what this hapless woman wanted to say? Brother Sheng Jin, the third daughter-in-law She had dystocia when she was a child, and she dared to bring it up!

"Mom, what did I say?" Qian Xinghua stared innocently at Old Madam Li with wide-eyed eyes. Li Ming, who was next to her, was holding a bowl and was about to cry. She was obviously frightened by Madam Li, " Don't be afraid tomorrow, grandma and mother are joking, you should eat obediently."

Mrs. Li didn't want to scold others in front of her children, so she suppressed the rest of her words: "Shut up if you can't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Qian Xinghua gave Li Mingcai a vegetable and continued to say unintentionally: "Did the third brother give the money to buy the medicine for the third younger brother and sister today? It's not easy for the third brother to live alone in the county. If you want to live by yourself, you have to save money." The money to buy jewelry for the third sibling, and the money for medical treatment and medicine should come from Zhonggong if you want me to say, our old Li’s family hasn’t separated yet, has it?”

Mrs. Li sneered: "Second brother, what do you mean by that!"

"It's nothing interesting, I'm just worried that my third brother doesn't have enough money, why don't you ask him to pay less money to Grandpa in the future?" Qian Xinghua smiled and looked at Li Chengshi and Jiang Zhiyun kindly.

Li Mingjin, who was sitting next to him, felt that the second aunt's words were very strange. He didn't quite understand, so he pulled Jiang Zhiyun's sleeve: "Mother, is Daddy not enough money in the county?"

How can she answer this question? The second sister-in-law has already mentioned jewelry. If the money is not enough, where does the jewelry come from?

From a young age, Li Mingjin knew that her father worked in the county government. Every month, my father took the monthly money home and handed it to my grandmother, and then my grandmother took part of it back to my father, so that my father had money to buy food in the county.

Seeing that his mother didn't answer, Li Mingjin turned his attention to his father: "I went to the place where my father lives, and there is no place to grow food or vegetables. If my father has no money, will he go hungry?"

Compared with Jiang Zhiyun, who was not easy to speak, Li Chengshi didn't have so many scruples: "Brother Jin, don't worry, Daddy won't go hungry."

"Second, don't you care about your wife?" Old Madam Li put the bowl heavily on the table, looked at Qian Xinghua coldly, she wanted to see what tricks this woman was going to make today.

Li Chengli took Qian Xinghua's arm and said in a muffled voice, "Xinghua'er, eat well!"

"Why didn't I have a good meal?" Qian Xinghua twisted her hand and broke her arm out of her man's hand, and put back the smile on her face, staring at Li Chengshi, "I used to hear that my third brother was in the county seat. It's not easy, I give the third brother a separate sum of money every month, I have never been suspicious, but I saw a brand new silver hairpin on the third brother and sister today, so I want to ask the third brother, what are you doing? Is it easy or not easy to live in the county government? Our old Li’s family has not yet separated, and no one has private property in their hands. Where did your money come from?"

Li Chengli watched his old lady's face getting darker and darker, and grabbed Qian Xinghua with some strength: "Be quiet, what are you doing at the dinner table!"

"I messed around?" Qian Xinghua was so angry with her man that her arms ached and her heart ached.

How could she be messing around, the Li family didn't have a separate family, and the son and daughter-in-law didn't have any private property, so it made sense for him, Li Chengshi, to save up money to buy silver hairpins for Jiang Zhiyun?

"I, Qian Xinghua, have such a miserable life. I was put on the table by such a useless man like you. I am also a member of the family. I can't even ask about the family affairs. Since I married into Li's family, I will get up early to serve Parents-in-law, they are busy with work outside the house, and they also gave birth to two daughters and a son. There is hard work if you don’t have any credit.” Speaking of these money, Xinghua hugged Li Ming and cried, “Mother’s bright talent! , why is my life so hard for your mother, after ten years of hard work, your father despises me now, thinks mother is a yellow-faced woman, what will mother do in the future..."

Li Chengli was watching from the side, with a bitter face and he didn't know what to say, he was always stupid, and he also felt a little sorry for her when he saw the mother-in-law crying so hard, as if she was aggrieved.

Seeing that Li Chengshi couldn't control Qian Xinghua at all, Mrs. Li scolded mercilessly, "Why howling, your man isn't dead yet!"

These words were really heartbreaking, Li Chengshi looked at Old Madam Li sadly: "Mother..."

"I think what your daughter-in-law said is right. You are a coward. My wife, I gave birth to you and raised you for decades, just to make you marry a woman and come back to anger me? If you can't control your wife, then replace me Come!" Mrs. Li became impatient, picked up her chopsticks and threw them at Li Chengshi.
