take a wife to support the family

Chapter 30 Lily returns to her mother's house

Mrs. Zhu wanted to prevent Lily from eating at home, but Lily refused to let her do so. She raised her voice and said to Lamei: "Cook my meal too. If I don't go back today, I will stay at my mother's house. My mother sold me five times." Money, can you save me a bite?"

Mrs. Zhu fell back from her choking, and suddenly found that the eldest daughter was not the same as before, no needles could make a sound.In the past, she only hated her daughter for not being flexible enough, but now she hates that her flexibility is used against herself.

The first time Lamei saw her eldest sister dare to talk back to her mother, she was so shocked that she didn't reply for a long time, until Zhu's voice rang out: "Cook!"

Mrs. Zhu rested under the pear tree in the yard by herself, and Lily went into the kitchen to help Lamei.Lamei is ashamed to see people, but the sisters share the same illness, so she still has a few words to talk to Lily.

"Sister, you are so powerful, you dare to talk back to mother." Lamei's eyes were shining with admiration.

Lily laughed dumbfounded: "What's so great about that?"

As an ignorant woman in the Zhu family, the worst thing she can do is to torment her own family, and at most quarrel with the neighbors outside, what can she do?
"You, be tougher in the future, Er Niu and I are not here, we are relying on you for the family work, mother dare not treat you like that."

When my daughter was around most of the time, I beat this one and the other two did the work, but now there is only one Lamei in the house, which really makes Lamei anxious not to cook. Isn't it necessary for Mrs. Zhu to do it herself?

Lamei wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh, she shrank her neck and shook her head: "I don't dare."

The eldest sister is married, and the mother of other people's family will scold her at most, and dare not beat her again, otherwise her brother-in-law will never end with her, and even the Song clan in the town will not give her mother a good face.

Er Niu works in Liu's Mansion, and she can get a hundred dollars a month from home. Mother laughs like a flower when she sees her, and she won't be beaten or scolded.

Lamei doesn't know how to do any work herself, and she hasn't married yet. How will she live in the future? Isn't it just a matter of mother's words?She was really afraid that her mother would sell herself back to her mother's family in the mountains in a fit of anger.

Unless Lily changed her core like this, it would be very difficult to change a person's concept, especially since San Niu lived under the power of the Zhu family since she was a child, and she had never seen what people outside were like, and she couldn't help it. The courage to resist.

Lily is not in a hurry, this is her sister, not someone who will never see again after meeting once or twice.The days are still long, and she has plenty of time to let Lamei know how normal people should live their lives.

The two sisters are used to cooking, and when the meal was almost ready, Zhu called Lily: "Go and call your father to come back for dinner. There is still Qingsong, Qingsong is at the head of the village."

Zhu's only son, Qingsong, is blinded by the eyes, and he will not lose his whereabouts for a moment, but he is not very clear about where her husband has gone.

The so-called "calling people to eat" in the village, if it is a treat, is to go to someone else's house to order.But if you have dinner at home and everyone is not yet here, you can just go to the village and shout "So-and-so, eat!"

Lily didn't want to yell, so she walked towards the village with a dull head. On the way, she saw her father coming back with her younger brother Qingsong, and hurriedly called: "Father, Qingsong, it's time to eat."

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the big girl didn't want to call out because she was shy, she felt ashamed.

Carpenter Li is an honest person. Seeing that the eldest daughter who has been married for a few months is very energetic, he grinned: "I'm back!"

Li Qingsong is the youngest child in the family, and also a precious boy, Zhu Shi wished he could feed the skins and bones of the three daughters to Qingsong, so that he would grow up quickly.It's rare that after so many years, Qingsong has not been spoiled by her, and she knows how to love her sisters.

"Big sister!" Li Qingsong stepped forward quickly, looking at Lily and smiling.

The eldest girl has a very good relationship with this younger brother, and every time when Zhu's sisters are teasing their sisters, Qingsong will always try to appease Zhu's, and give them the eggs at the bottom of his bowl.

"Qingsong has grown up." Lily touched Qingsong's shoulder and said briskly, "Hurry up and go home for dinner!"

After the meal, Carpenter Li specifically said to Lily: "Seeing that it's getting dark, you're still sleeping with San Niu. Go home tomorrow and ask your mother to pack some food for you."

Lily's heart warmed up, and she was about to speak. Zhu slapped the table: "There is no food! The water that the married daughter poured out, the things of her mother's family are to be left for Qingsong, how can there be food for her?"

Carpenter Li has never been tough in front of Mrs. Zhu in his life, so he is silent at this moment, planning to secretly stuff something for the eldest daughter while Mrs. Zhu is not paying attention tomorrow.

Lily didn't bother about the food anymore, and asked Carpenter Li: "Father, are you busy? Help me make something."

Carpenter Li is a gentle man, since Lily got married, he felt sorry for his daughter, he failed to stop her mother from marrying a prodigal son like Song Haonian, and always wanted to make up for her.

"What did you say you're going to do?" He has no other skills, his hands are top-notch, and most of the objects he makes are exquisite.

"If you're going to be free, help me make dozens of small baskets, not too big," Lily stretched out her hand, not much bigger than her hand, "The bamboo strips should be finely chopped, and the lace should be beautiful, the finer and more beautiful the better." .”

As she said, Carpenter Li nodded, not finding it difficult for her to make such a request.

When Lily talked to her father in her previous life, she would always ask him if he was busy and if he had money, before she dared to ask him to attend the parent-teacher meeting or ask him for tuition fees.

Now that I see Carpenter Li like this, I feel sore in my heart, it's a pity for the big girl.Although mother looks like that, her father is really trying to treat her well.

Zhu raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "Listen, what kind of stuff are they? If you don't learn the good ones, just do them!"

Li Bamboo Carpenter still smiled, and Lily pushed her again, "Mother, can I still make my father do my work for nothing? This is to be sold for money, and when the money is sold, I will buy rock candy for you and father!"

When Mrs. Zhu heard about it, her expression eased, but she was still muttering: "Which one is wasting money like this, buying things you don't need? If you can't sell them later, isn't your father doing it for nothing?"

If it is a big basket, the lily can't be sold, but the craftsman Li can still sell it to others.Such a small basket doesn't look usable at first glance, and I don't know what Lily is trying to do. If she can't sell it, she will lose money.

He also scolded Carpenter Li: "It's useless. You know how to weave bamboo and weave bamboo all day long. You can still weave food! What's the use of you? I was really blind to follow you. There are a few small It's all heartless..."

Lily couldn't listen anymore, and said angrily, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

No matter how incompetent Li bamboo craftsman is, he always supported the big family. Besides, he didn't beat and scold Mrs. Zhu day and night, and he loved the children as much as possible. Lily felt that although life was poor, such a father was better than her previous life. That incompetent and beating father was much better.

Zhu choked, and finally stopped scolding Carpenter Li in front of several children.Lamei and Qingsong looked at each other and thought that the eldest sister was amazing, but now she dared to contradict her mother.

But they all felt that Lily contradicted her well, no matter how powerful Mother is, she shouldn't point at Dad's nose every day and scold her, right?
