Across the Market

Chapter 3

Zhu Fu has only been in this parallel dimension for more than a dozen days. Although she can vaguely see that her family and her grandfather's family seem to be incompatible, no one has said it publicly, so she doesn't know the extent of the incompatibility.The reason why she could see it was mainly because of her cheap grandma Wei Xueshi's obviously contemptuous face when she came to collect money from home.

She was an orphan in her previous life, so she was used to such faces, so when she saw Wei Xueshi for the first time, she instinctively disliked that old woman who was nearly sixty years old.When I came to my son-in-law's house to get money, not only did he not have a smiling face, but he also had a vitriolic look, which was really annoying.

It's not the money that is owed to her, even if it is owed, she can feel ashamed of her own daughter.

She remembered clearly that she was playing with her younger sister, Nuan, in the main room. Later, the eldest sister said that grandma was here, and told her to go inside to play with Nuan.When the mother was talking to Wei Xueshi in the main room, she and Nuan sister hid behind the curtain to listen, and she clearly heard the cheap mother say to Wei Xueshi: "Mother, my husband has hit the iron recently, please ask the doctor to buy medicine." It took a sum of money. Xianggong is getting older now, and his body is no longer as strong as before. This month's money...can you slow it down? Sister Fu also had a serious illness a few days ago, and she is recovering. You only need to have a child and support your body, and you don’t need this little money, mother, so when your daughter relaxes, show more filial piety to your mother.”

Who knows that Wei Xue said in a strange way: "Who told you to marry a useless man? You also gave birth to three losers! If you listened to your mother, wouldn't life be much better when you married that Liu Shi'an as your aunt? Don’t you? Your family can’t even get a tael of silver every month, you know, your second sister is filial to your mother this month.” She stretched out her bloated palm and shook it in front of her daughter. His face trembled, and then his tone became tougher, "One tael of silver a month is for my old lady's pension, and a penny cannot be less!"

Wei Sanniang gritted her teeth, suppressed the tears of grievance in her eyes, and whispered, "Mother, don't even think about it. You gave the dowry when the second sister got married, and you didn't have anything to accompany your daughter when she got married. Besides. In the past, even if my daughter ate less than a few mouthfuls of food every month, she would still give you all the money, and now there is no other way."

Mrs. Wei Xue refused to listen, and was determined to ask for money. Later, Zhu Da couldn't stand it anymore, and called Wei Sanniang to bring out the money for buying medicine for him, and then dismissed Mrs. Wei.

At that time, Zhu Fu was so angry that her teeth were itching, if she hadn't kept some sense, she would have rushed to scold Wei Xueshi.Looking at her clothes, she must be living a leisurely life, just one or two taels of silver?She was too embarrassed to spend the money her son-in-law paid for the medicine.

Later, she asked Sister Nuan in private: "Why does our family have to give grandma silver taels every month?"

Sister Nuan said with a wrinkled face, "Because grandma has a son, she wants to spend money for her son, so she asked mother for money."

Zhu Fu continued to smile and asked his younger sister, "Then is our uncle blind?" Sister Nuan shook her little head, "Or did she have a broken leg?" Sister Nuan shook her little head again, "Then Is there something wrong with your brain?" Zhu Fu pointed to the seeds on his head.

Sister Nuan still shook her head and said: "Uncle is in good health, better than our father. But grandma said that the son is a sweet potato, and the daughter is a loser." She looked at her second sister eagerly, as if thinking of something , stood on tiptoe with great difficulty, and whispered into Zhu Fu's ear, "Grandma also said that the eldest sister is sixteen, and she should find a family to marry the eldest sister. She said that the eldest sister is good-looking, and she will definitely get a lot of dowry gifts." .Second sister, but I don't want elder sister to marry, and I don't want you to marry either."

The little girl is only five years old, and she doesn't understand anything. She only thinks that her sisters treat her well, and she wants to be with them forever.If the sisters were all married, no one would sleep under the covers with her, and she would be afraid.As soon as the little girl got up in a hurry, she cried.

Zhu Fu bent down to wipe his sister's tears, and assured him: "With the second sister here, no one will try to bully us. Sister Nuan won't cry, be good."

Sister Nuan was probably wronged. Although her tears stopped shedding, she still hiccupped non-stop. Later, it was Zhu Fu who coaxed her to play, so she forgot the unpleasant things.

With a sigh in my heart, patriarchy has existed since ancient times, and it's fine to bully my own daughter, but the old woman even wanted to extend her demon claws to her granddaughter.She didn't know what Qiang Niang was thinking, but now that Zhu Fu, the second daughter of the Zhu family, had been replaced by her, no one could bully her family.

Zhu Fu turned his head to look at his eldest sister Zhu Xi, seeing her bright and beautiful pretty face, he approached and said, "Don't be angry, elder sister, it's not worth getting mad at your body, mother went to grandma's house Is it? Let’s talk about it when father, mother and brother come back... They want to use labor for free, but there is no such thing as cheap. How much work father and brother have done has to be calculated according to the market price. "

Seeing that his younger sister spoke differently than usual, Zhu Xi looked at his younger sister suspiciously, couldn't help but raised his hand to touch her forehead, frowned and said, "You don't have a fever, how could you say these words? Sister Fu, you were most afraid of grandma's family in the past."

Zhu Fu stuck out his tongue and said, "After a serious illness, everything can be figured out. What's the use of being afraid? Some people are dedicated to bullying the weak and fearing the hard. The softer you are, the more he will win. If you are tough once in a while Tell him to look at it, and he won't dare to bully you easily in the future."

Zhu Xi looked at his younger sister silently for a while, then took her hand, and said distressedly: "Sister Fu, my good younger sister."

Seeing that the elder sister said that the second elder sister was a good younger sister, Sister Nuan hurriedly put her round head in front of the two elder sisters, blinked and asked, "Elder sister, what about me?"

The little girl has a big appetite, she has already eaten two eggs and three bowls of white rice porridge just now, rice grains are still standing on her rosy mouth, her round face is wrinkled, her big black eyes keep watching her grow sister.

Zhu Xi looked at his sister's appearance, pinched her chubby face and said, "You too, good sister."
