The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 92

Chuan'er knew that Yingniang didn't think much of her, now seeing Yingniang asking such an angry question, her heart seemed to be blocked by something, she didn't know what to say with a sullen face.

Zhu Zi couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Chuan'er, just tell my sister that you are here to work and earn money, not to ask for money."

Seeing that there was a pillar supporting her, Chuan'er smiled and said, "Sister, I... want to come and work in your workshop to earn some money to spend."

Yingniang looked at her and said: "You can't do this job, you don't have the patience. Weaving clothes is not only dexterous and careful, but also has to be able to sit still. There are so many people in the workshop, which one is not selected by me carefully?" ?”

Chuan'er didn't even think about it, and said: "Sister, I am careful, and I can still sit still. As long as I follow everyone's learning, I will learn it soon."

As for whether she is careful or not, Yingniang didn't see it.If you say you can sit still, Yingniang doesn't believe it.Ask her to sit down and eat melon seeds and drink tea, reckoning she can indeed sit down.If she is asked to work, forget it, she might feel tired after a while.

Yingniang couldn't directly point out her faults, but said: "You haven't done much needlework since you were a child, and your hands are not dexterous enough to do this delicate work. You should know that there are many patterns and styles of thread clothes in my workshop. Those merchants You said it was going to be sold in the capital, so you just twisted the thread on the needle stick as simple as that?"

Zhu Zi was anxious, "What's wrong with her hands? I was embroidering at home a few days ago, and I saw that she embroidered very well."

Chuan'er's face turned slightly red, she was indeed embroidering the insoles a few days ago, Zhu Zi didn't understand this, and he felt good if he could catch his bull's eye.In fact, she knew it was very bad. Her mother-in-law's face froze when she looked at the insole, but she didn't say anything.It's just that embroidery is different from thread knitting, maybe you can do it yourself very well!

Of course Yingniang didn't believe that Chuan'er could embroider beautiful flowers, because her mother Li Xinghua said that Chuan'er's hands could be described as clumsy.

Seeing that Yinyue was also watching from the side, Yingniang really couldn't say about Chuan'er's clumsiness. After all, it was what her mother said, and she couldn't use this to sow discord between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She just made an excuse and said: " Now is the busiest time in the field, and in a few days we will have to plant soybeans and harvest wheat. Chuan Er, can you stay at home to cook, wash, clean up the house, and then help your parents to work in the fields? That's enough You are busy, where do you have time to work?"

After hearing this, Chuan'er hurriedly said: "Sister, I have never been in the field since I grew up. Is it possible that I have to go to the field after I get married? My six sisters have said that working in the field will tan your face and hands. It will become rough and ugly, as long as you don’t get hungry, don’t go to the ground.”

Yingniang thought in her heart, your older sisters really know how to teach younger sisters, and asked lightly: "Zhuzi is an out-and-out mud leg, can you marry him and never go to the ground? It seems that you are really wronged to marry into the Lin family." You, you should marry into a family like Zhen Yuan's family or Ge Landlord's family."

Yingniang knew that Chuan'er's family had raised seven daughters and two sons. The family could only plant a few acres of land, and would not find other ways to make money.If she could climb up, how could she be willing to marry into the Lin family?

Chuan'er felt that Yingniang was poking at the bottom of her natal family, knowing that she would not be able to climb into the big family, but she said so on purpose, she was so wronged that she shed tears, "Sister, I am here to work, not to beg, Why do you say that about me, you are still not Zhuzi's sister."

Yingniang thought, I really don't want a younger brother like Zhuzi!Forget it, she endured it without saying a word.

At this time, Yinyue's heart softened when she heard this, and she said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let Chuan'er come, anyway, it's just the wages for weaving one piece, and you don't pay much."

Yingniang replied: "I'm afraid that she won't learn well and will waste the thread materials. Besides, this place is more than ten miles away from Linjia Village. She can't go home at noon. She can only come in the morning and go back at night. Where are you going to have lunch?" Yingniang would never let Chuan'er go to her house for lunch every day, imagining that she and Bo Ming sat down to eat, but Chuan'er was sitting next to her, she was afraid that the meal would spoil her I will have a stomachache.

Zhuzi immediately yelled: "Sister, you won't be so stingy that you don't even want to take care of lunch, right? Chuan'er is your natal sister-in-law! I went to your yard to look for you just now, and Zhaodi's sister-in-law's natal family came Come on, don't they eat when they come? Why are you so unwilling to help your mother's family?"

Yingniang stood up, and talked to him seriously, "Zhaodi's natal family was in trouble, and she had nowhere to go, so she was forced to come here because she was begging all the way. Chuan'er really didn't know how to work at home as a father. Niang shared some, only thinking about doing light and easy work, can this be compared together? Besides, your thinking is too simple, thinking that weaving clothes is more decent than going to the ground, and it sounds good to say it. You have to know the workshop All these people here have sore backs, sore necks and blurry eyes, how many days can Chuaner do it?"

After hearing this, Chuan'er left without looking back, and choked at Zhuzi: "Let's go, at worst I won't earn this money, what's so great about it."

Zhuzi stared with anger, and was pulled away by Chuan'er.

Seeing that the two of them had finally left, Yingniang was about to sit down and relax, but unexpectedly they came back again.This made Yingniang feel fresh, what kind of wind are they doing?
Chuan'er suddenly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Sister, I was wrong just now, you are right, it is not easy to do anything. I will not argue with Zhaodi's sister-in-law's natal family anymore. No... I let the pillars lay a few bricks here, and I bring a pot, and I bring my own food and vegetables. I cook here by myself at noon, isn’t that okay? I will study hard, never If you complain about suffering and tiredness, it’s not too late for you to drive me home, okay?”

Yingniang didn't expect Chuan'er to be able to compromise, it seems that she really underestimated her.

Yingniang pretended to think for a while, and then said: "The method you said is pertinent, but you will put me in an unrighteous place. You are my natal sister-in-law, and you are only a few steps away from my house to work here. But what kind of bricks and pots are there to be built, and what kind of food and vegetables are brought, where will I put my face in this way?"

Zhu Zi immediately snorted and said, "If someone really said that, it wouldn't be considered wronging you, it's the truth."

Yingniang raised her brows, "Oh? Well, you can build bricks and set up the pot. You are not afraid of trouble, and I am not afraid of people talking about it. When the time comes, the villagers will come and go to watch Chuan'er squatting here and cooking. A beautiful scenery may attract many people to come and see it.”

Chuan'er imagined the scene and felt that she was embarrassed enough, so she said: "Then I will use a bowl in the morning to pack the pastry, vegetables and water, put them in a bag and bring them over. Anyway, it's just one meal at noon, so I can make do with it." , The suffering is a little bit bitter, and I will go all out to make money."

The Lin family was not short of food and drink for her. She wanted to earn money so much because she wanted to wear decent clothes and a better face.She was so depressed, Yingniang really wanted to see how many days she could hold on, so she said: "Okay, you can start sitting next to them and watch and learn, if you don't have any problems within seven days." If you learn how to do it, don’t come here. I will inspect each piece of knitted sweater. The wages are the same as everyone else’s, and the wages will be different for each pattern. Anyway, I will not deduct from you, just because I am afraid that you will knit No good thread clothes. Zhuzi, you can go, let Chuaner go in and learn."

Zhuzi was finally satisfied now, and when he saw Chuaner enter the workshop door, he strode away.

Chuan'er picked up a chair to sit next to those women, and looked at them decently, but she was a little dazzled and really couldn't understand.If you don't understand, you have to pretend to understand, take your time, she sighed in her heart, this job is really not easy.

Holding Xiaoyu in her arms, Yinyue looks into Chuan'er from time to time, and whispers to Yingniang, "Eldest sister-in-law, you are the best, you can hold down my sister-in-law, if you put it on second sister-in-law, she will definitely not be able to."

"Your second sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and has a thin skin and a soft mouth, so she can't say such cruel words." When Yingniang spoke, she got up holding Nian'er, "I'll go to the front house to have a look, Zhaodi probably can't find it. There are so many beddings. There are a few old ones in my box, I’ll ask Zhaodi to take them out to dry, and let her natal family make do with them, you can watch here.”

Yinyue nodded in response, and Chuan'er looked outside, seeing Yingniang leaving, she immediately ran out.

"Sister-in-law Yinyue, please teach me. Their hands are too fast, and I am dazzled. You have taught me, and I will buy pastries and candy for Xiaoyu when the time comes."

Yinyue wondered what cakes and candies Chuan'er bought, but it was hard to refuse to teach.What's more, she herself can only know a few simple ones, so she has nothing to hide, so she said: "Okay, I will teach you the simplest ones first, and I haven't learned the complicated ones yet. I have been bringing my children here recently. .”

"Okay, okay, thank you, sister-in-law Yinyue." Chuan'er was beaming with joy, and suddenly asked, "How much did you pay for the hairpin on your head and this pair of earrings?" In fact, she still wanted to ask about the silver bracelet, but she didn't. Feel free to ask.

Yinyue didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, and she thought for a while before she remembered, "This hairpin is not cheap, it cost fifteen yuan to buy. This pair of earrings seems to... cost thirty yuan, and it was Shuchang who insisted on it." I bought it for me, and I thought it was expensive at the time. However, it is still much cheaper than the hairpin on my sister-in-law's head. Her hairpin cost [-] Wen, and it was my elder brother who bought it for her from Wuzhou."

Chuan'er knew that for the time being, she couldn't afford the good things that Yingniang usually used, but as long as she made money from knitting clothes, it would not be difficult to buy something like Yinyue.There are many more things on her head, ears, and wrists than Yinyue, but none of them are valuable, and everything is only worth a few pennies. This comparison made her feel very ashamed.

"Then you can teach me now." She couldn't wait any longer, wishing she could earn money right away, and then dress herself up.
