Who understands? I took the library with me to farm

Chapter 2 The bride comes in and attacks the mother-in-law

After a while, Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and brought the chicken soup to the table.

He Miao tasted it and found it tasted average, not enough seasoning, and the stew was far from hot enough.

It's just that in these days, poor families can't see a trace of meat all year round, so having chicken to eat is already very good.

He Miao ate all the soup and water, which satisfied her appetite and made her body and mind feel comfortable.

After eating and gargling, Matchmaker Zhou, who had picked up the bride, led a donkey with a big red flower on its head through the door.

She rummaged through the cabinets and found a high-collared cloth to put on to cover the marks on her neck.

Carrying a simple little baggage, he got on his donkey and left home without looking back.

Within half a day, we arrived at the east entrance of Jiuxing Village. There is a well at the east end of the village. On weekdays, villagers come here to fetch water for food.

"Ms. He, I think you are tired too. You have already entered the village. Let's take a rest here and drink water, and then go to your husband's house. What do you think?"

Matchmaker Zhou talked a lot about the Feng family with He Miaoxu along the way. Her mouth had been thirsty for a long time, and she became impatient when she saw a well.

He Miao readily agreed, got off the donkey, and tied it behind the big banyan tree where no one else would notice.

This is a happy donkey, too conspicuous, and she doesn't want to attract too much attention.

Matchmaker Zhou fetched water from the well, put it into a leather gourd, drank a few big gulps of it herself, and handed it to He Miao.

"Auntie, let's sit in the shade behind the tree for a while." He Miao took the matchmaker and sat down behind the big banyan tree to drink water and roll up her sleeves to fan herself with her hands.

"Hey, what do you mean by this? You have to ask us to fetch water, saying that you want to wash your new daughter-in-law at night. It's like who has never been a new daughter-in-law. We didn't have such good treatment back then."

"Sister-in-law, my parents are happy that the third child can get a wife in this situation. Even if we are exhausted, we should still deserve our share in the eyes of others."

Two young peasant women in coarse linen clothes came to fetch water with water carriers. Seeing no one around, they whispered.

These words happened to be heard clearly by the people enjoying the shade behind the tree.

Matchmaker Zhou turned around and looked around. Just as she was about to speak, He Miao waved her hand to signal her to keep quiet.

One of the women was so fat that she looked like a big flower roll. She took off her pole and raised her hand to wipe the sweat.

"Did you know that our family only spent a lot of money as a gift to marry into the family? She is a widower. She will be defeated by anyone she catches. She is very evil. Let's stay away from her in the future."

Another lean woman lowered her voice and bent down into the well mouth to pick up a bucket as she spoke.

"Who doesn't know this? My mother specially asked the master to calculate her birthdays and horoscopes. He said that the union of these two unlucky people would improve their luck. Maybe the third child's illness would be cured. I also heard that that girl looks so evil. La Shuiling is still a baby."

"After all, the bridal chamber has already been married. It's hard to say whether it's true or not. Besides, what's the use of Shui Ling? The third child is ignorant of human affairs. She won't get any nourishment after marrying her. In two years, she will wither into a day lily."

The two sang together and laughed together.

"Second brother and sister, please fill the two buckets with more water later. I've been doing this for the past few days. I'm not feeling well and can't do much work."

Before leaving, "Da Huamuan" lost no time in pretending to be her eldest sister-in-law.

After the two of them carried the burden and walked away, matchmaker Zhou said with embarrassment: "Ms. He, these two are the wives of the eldest and second son of the Feng family I told you."

"You, don't think too much. Listen to my aunt and keep your mind in peace. Your mother-in-law is in charge of the Feng family's affairs. Don't take what others say to heart." Matchmaker Zhou was afraid that the good thing would not work out, so she hurriedly made up for it. .

He Miao nodded calmly, knowing something in her mind.

One of these two sisters-in-law is a cheater, flirtatious, and full of complaints, while the other is a sweet-talking, sarcastic, and naughty sister-in-law who talks behind people's backs. They don't seem to be easy to get along with.

As soon as it got dark, Matchmaker Zhou led He Miao to her husband's house.

According to local custom, a new daughter-in-law welcomes her bride in the early morning, and after the sun rises, she worships and serves wine.

But because He Miao was a remarried widow, he couldn't do anything big, and even the time to enter the house had to be changed to evening.

"Sister Liu, I'll bring you a new wife!" Matchmaker Zhou shouted loudly before they entered the hospital.

An oil lamp was lit in the main house, and a middle-aged woman with a strong body and a kind face came out. She was He Miao's mother-in-law, Feng Liu.

"Come in, come in, come in, his aunt, you must be exhausted, come in and sit down!" Mrs. Feng Liu pulled the matchmaker's arm into the house with a smile on her face.

Matchmaker Zhou also responded happily: "Isn't this the right thing to do? Look at how polite you are to me!" While the two were chatting, He Miao simply looked around. It was getting dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only Probably feel.

The front yard was not small, and was surrounded by a dense fence. The yard smelled of poultry feces.

To the west, there are piles of firewood piled high and dark.

Surrounded by four or five houses with thatched roofs and mud walls, the chimneys on the roofs were smoking. It seemed that cooking was being done in the kitchens.

The matchmaker didn't lie. The Feng family's conditions were really good. If they married, at least their food and clothing problems would be solved.

The routine greetings came to an end, and He Miao was pulled into the house.

"His aunt, after traveling such a long way, please sit down and have a sip of tea." Mrs. Feng Liu poured the tea, filled two tea bowls, and handed them over personally.

Matchmaker Zhou said to He Miao: "Ms. He, your mother-in-law has been waiting for you to come all day long. She is as anxious as anything. Today you two have met."

He Miao smiled lightly, said nothing, and lowered his head to drink tea.

Ms. Feng Liu carefully looked at the pink-cheeked girl in front of her, her heart filled with joy.

As expected, she is a dewy beauty, quiet and steady.

Matchmaker Zhou was a discerning person. After sitting for a while, drinking a bowl of tea, she was about to leave.

Feng Liu called to the backyard: "Old ladies, hurry up and bring the wedding gift to your aunt."

"Da Huamuan" carried something and ran in hurriedly, breathing heavily: "Mom, here it comes, my second brother and sister have pasted the cake. I'm helping her."

"Hurry up, come and meet your three younger siblings." Mrs. Feng Liu glanced at her with disgust, turned around and said to He Miao with a friendly expression: "This is your eldest brother's wife, from the family of Butcher Li in our village. My daughter’s name is Li Huahua.”

"Hello, sister-in-law." He Miao nodded towards Li Huahua, his expression unchanged and his gentle smile still there.

Li Huahua raised his chin disdainfully, glanced at He Miao from top to bottom, and finally said: "Third brother and sister, if you have had enough rest later, you can also come to the kitchen to help. Your second sister-in-law and I have been busy for a long time..."

"Tsk!" Mrs. Feng Liu gave her a hard look, and Li Huahua immediately fell silent.

"Haha, his aunt, the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't know what to say. It makes you laugh. Grab your things quickly. The third son is able to marry such a good wife, thanks to your busy schedule."

What Li Huahua brought was a basket full of free-range eggs, two strips of bacon, and a hundred cash.

According to the current living standards in the village, this Xipo gift is definitely one of the richest.

Matchmaker Zhou's business was worth it, and she was so happy that she grinned from the corners of her mouth to her ears.

I took the thank you gift, said a few festive words, and left with a smile on my face.

As soon as the matchmaker left, Ms. Feng Liu started to discipline her daughter-in-law.

"My boss, you are used to being so showy, and now you are embarrassing yourself in front of outsiders. Your third brother and sister just got married, how can they work in the kitchen?"

Li Huahua was afraid of her mother-in-law, and her eyes were evasive: "Mom, don't I treat my sister-in-law as an outsider..."

Mrs. Feng Liu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and choked back her words: "You can pull it off, think about it with your pig brain, when you first came in, did I ask you to work?"

Li Huahua knew that he was in the wrong, so he turned around and returned to the kitchen.

He Miao is the best at observing words and expressions. The matchmaker said that the Feng family is in charge of her mother-in-law, and it seems true.

It is necessary to have a good relationship with the talkers in the group and leave a good impression.

"Mom, the sisters-in-law are working behind the scenes, I'm going to help too, you sit and drink tea." He Miao rolled up her arms and sleeves and followed in.

Mrs. Feng Liu was so coaxed that she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

I was originally worried that the other party might not want to marry his silly son, so he might cause trouble when he comes, but now my worries have disappeared.

What a blessing from our ancestors.

　Xiaomiao has arrived at her mother-in-law's house. For the time being, it seems that there is no big problem in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law~
