Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 213 Mother and Daughter
Early the next morning, as soon as Mai Xiang finished washing up, Mrs. Wan came in.

"Where's Brother Yuan?" Mrs. Wan asked without seeing her grandson when she entered the door.

"Nurse Wan, he lives in his own house. I don't know if he'll wake up now. I'll send a maid to call him. Has Mammy Wan had breakfast?" Although Mai Xiang was a little unhappy, she still explained a few words.

"I've eaten, I've eaten, I thought you all finished eating, I thought it's hot today, we can go earlier to cool off." The old lady saw that Mai Xiang was not happy, and explained a few words.

The old lady came over yesterday and saw Mai Xiang and Huai Ci alone in the room, and she thought that Huai Ci didn't want a housewarming girl because she was afraid of Mai Xiang's jealousy, and the two always stayed together so unavoidably , Maybe she did something stupid, that's why she came here to test it out.

While the two were talking, they saw Mrs. Li sending someone to call Mai Xiang to have breakfast. Mrs. Wan followed Mai Xiang into the dining room. She saw several small dishes and three bowls of porridge on the round table. Mrs. Li was sitting and waiting , When I saw Mrs. Wan, I hurriedly stood up and said hello.

"I've eaten it, you can use it, I just came to see it." Mrs. Wan thought that this bowl of porridge was reserved for her, so she hurriedly said.

As soon as Mrs. Wan finished speaking, Huai Ci entered the room, greeted her, sat down at the dining table, and picked up the bowl of porridge.

Only then did Mrs. Wan know that they didn't keep it for her at all, and she also knew that her grandson ate here.

"Fifth Aunt, I'll go to the countryside with Madam Wan later, do you have anything to say?" Mai Xiang looked at Li Shi and asked.

"Me? It's nothing." Mrs. Li bit her chopsticks and said.

"Fifth Aunt, is Mai Lang's full moon wine served here or in the countryside? Why don't I ask the mother for you?" Mai Xiang saw Li's embarrassment.

Since Mrs. Li got pregnant, Mrs. Liu's attitude towards her has not changed much. It's just that she is not like before, who always proposed to divorce her wife. This time she gave birth to a son. And nothing happened.

"Okay." Seeing that Mrs. Wan was there, Mrs. Li couldn't say anything more.

After the meal, Mai Xiang picked up the bundle, told Hong Ye a few words, and took Feng Ye out of the house. When they reached the gate of the yard, Huai Ci followed her to her carriage without thinking.

"Go and sit with your nanny." Mai Xiang remembered the old lady's misunderstanding just now.

"No, what can I say to her?"

"Then I'll go there?" Mai Xiang could only ask.

"You are not allowed to go either. We have been engaged for two years, we will be husband and wife sooner or later, besides, isn't there still Maple Leaf here?" Huai Ci pulled Mai Xiang back.

"I'm afraid that if it spreads to your aunt's ears, there might be some troubles."

Mai Xiang is not afraid of Mrs. Wan, at worst she doesn't like Huaici and doesn't care about Huaici, but she will never harm Huaici.

Huai Ci thought for a while and said, "Then I'll drive another carriage by myself. Anyway, I won't ride in the same carriage with her. I haven't been close to her for so many years. I'm not used to it."

"You've grown so big, haven't you ever been in the same carriage as your nanny?" This time it was Mai Xiang's turn to be surprised.

"They never took me with them when they went out. When I was young, I was locked in the yard. Everyone was afraid that I would give them the sickness. Even if I was released later, no one wanted to talk to me. I still live in that In the small yard, it’s just that I can go to study now.”

"Forget it, let's stay together." Mai Xiang didn't want to be hypocritical anymore, anyway, she would like someone to talk to on the road, even if they were together, she wouldn't say anything, just let him hold her, let him hold her Mai Xiang doesn't think it's a long journey.

Seeing that Huai Ci was about to get into Mai Xiang's carriage, old lady Wan opened her mouth to say something, but seeing that Huai Ci got into Mai Xiang's carriage without even looking at her, she closed her mouth again.

Ye Dafu and Mrs. Zhao were very pleasantly surprised when they saw Mai Xiang and Huaici come back. They thought it was Huaici's academic examination results, so they pulled Huaici to ask him if he was a scholar.Mrs. Zhao has already announced to the outside world that her uncle is a scholar and will be an official in the future.

Seeing that she was neglected, Mrs. Wan was not annoyed, and went into the yard to talk to Mrs. Liu.

"Sister, the business of our shop is also better than last year. Not only are there more people eating, but also more people staying overnight." Seeing Mai Xiang returning to the house, Mai Huang also followed, Mai Qing and Mai Lu followed, Mai Di Went to Cao's house and played with Cao Ji.

"Really? Is that enough?"

"The eighth uncle still wants to discuss with you, and then build two small courtyards separately, and save them for the distinguished guests."

"Success, I still thought about this when I started spring, but then I forgot when I got busy."

"It's not that the eldest sister forgot in a hurry. The eldest sister was forced to forget by her brother-in-law. If the eldest sister has a brother-in-law, she doesn't want us." Mai Qing pouted angrily.

Mai Xiang has basically been in the capital for the past six months, and even if they go home, they will not be able to stay for a day or two. They wanted to go to the city to see Mai Xiang, but they were stopped by Ye Dafu. , not sloppy.

"Hey, who would dare not want our third sister? When did the eldest sister say she didn't want you anymore? Come and see what the eldest sister bought for you, do you like it or not?" Mai Xiang opened her bag, and there was a small wooden box inside. There are three pairs of butterfly decorations made of gold leaf, which are just right for a little girl to wear, and there is a gold hairpin for Mrs. Zhao.

"Ah, it's so pretty, so beautiful." Mai Huang's small mouth opened first, and his hands touched it first.

"What else is going on at home?" Mai Xiang asked.

"Cousin Ziju said we were married, and grandma came to complain again. Father, father had no choice but to hire uncle to come over and help with our fruit trees and the flowers and plants in the yard."

"Is Ziju engaged? Where is the engagement?" Mai Xiang knew that she had always had high-mindedness and low-handedness, and would rather be the concubine of a rich family than the regular wife of a poor family.

"It seems to be the landlord's house in grandma's village."

"The landlord's family? Can the landlord's family want her?" Mai Xiang was surprised.

"Why can't the landlord's family want her? Your cousin Ziju is not ugly. Although your aunt's life is a bit poor, it is still much richer than the average peasant family. Also, big girl, let me go What happened to what I told you?" Mrs. Zhao came in, and when she heard Mai Xiang say that her natal family was not good, she couldn't hold back.

Since Mrs. Zhao had that meal in Fuyun, the capital last year, and saw that all the little boys there were young boys without hair, she moved her mind to send several nephews from her natal family there.

Especially Dachun's second son, who is only 13 years old this year, is at the time when he can eat. Although Dachun's family has an income of 30 taels a year with Mai Xiang's help, it is only enough for food and clothing. In addition, Dachun will not be in charge of the family, and there is not much money left.

As for Yang Zhongqi's wages at Ye's family, I heard that he saved them all by himself. He is learning from Bafu and plans to save money to build a house and get married.

This is also the reason why Dachun also wants to send out his second son. The sons are sent out. Not only do they not have to raise them, but they also save money for getting married, and it is much easier for them as a husband and wife.

"Mother, is Ziju going to the landlord's house to be his regular wife?" Mai Xiang still couldn't figure it out.

"Of course, it's from your grandma's village. You know everything about it. How could it be wrong?" Mrs. Zhao felt a little proud when she said this.

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore, you ask my aunt to send people here one day, I will start with the ugly words, going to the capital may not be better than life at home, newcomers have to learn the rules, first But the most bitter, tiring, and dirtiest job started, if you can bear it, you can stay, if you can't, Fifth Uncle will definitely send him home."

"You damn girl, speaking of which, he is still your cousin, so why can't you take care of him a bit, and why does our Zhao family not welcome you?"

As soon as Mrs. Zhao was in a hurry, the vulgar words that she used to talk about in the past came out. It was not a day or two that she had a problem with Mai Xiang. Younger than Zhao Qiaohe, she mentioned it to Mai Xiang several times, but Mai Xiang didn't respond to her.

Now there is such a big restaurant in the capital, and Wufu has the final say, and even took Wufu's family to the city.Seeing that the Ye family's life has risen in the past two years, but her old Zhao family has not borrowed much light, Zhao's psychology is naturally unbalanced.

"Mom, is it my kiss or his kiss?" Mai Xiang raised her eyebrows in anger when she heard that Mrs. Zhao called her a "dead girl" because of her natal nephew, her face was stern, and she was cold Looking at the person who claims to be his own mother.

"Well, well, I'm going to see what the kitchen is preparing to eat today. After all, my uncle is back, and I will add two good dishes." Seeing that Mai Xiang was angry, Mrs. Zhao also knew that she had said something wrong. A few small noodles, some can't get off the stage, she is still a little apprehensive.

Mai Xiang didn't talk to her either, and she didn't know why, she always felt that there was a gap between her and Zhao Shi, she couldn't get close to her like Mai Huang and the others, probably because when Mai Xiang came over, Zhao Shi's Her performance was too weak, she didn't look like a mother at all, so Mai Xiang had to be strong and provoke this family.

Every time she comes back, Mai Xiang always feels irritable when she sees Mrs. Zhao like this, but after not coming back for a long time, Mai Xiang wants to come back. After all, this is her home, and there are family members she misses, such as Ye Dafu, such as Say a few wheat yellows.

"What's the matter? You yelled as soon as my daughter came back, and there are guests at home." Ye Dafu was talking with Huaici in the opposite room, and when he heard the movement here, he hurried over on crutches.

"Where do I dare to yell? I just asked in vain if I could let my eldest sister's child find a job in a restaurant in the capital, and she told me a lot, but I was so angry that I yelled dead." Girl, she seems to want to eat me, who am I, I am her mother, someone who treats her own mother like this is not caring to me at all."

Mrs. Zhao also felt wronged, why is this girl less and less like her own?
Mai Xiang only looked at Mrs. Zhao, but didn't see Ye Dafu's expression changed after hearing these words.
