Chapter 222 Dowry Raising

The heavy snow fell for three consecutive days, covering the whole world with a thick quilt.The old people in the village were not afraid of the difficulty of walking on the snowy road, so they all gathered in their fields to lament the love of God.

"There must be a good time in the coming year!"

"Yes! Yes! It's a good snow! God rewards us with food!"

……

Old people in twos and threes gathered together, lamenting the love of God, and looking at their field ridges with smiles on their faces. Although they couldn't see them, they could imagine the wheat seedlings under the thick snow, snorting happily. Breathing the warmth of nature.

Yes!Nothing excites farmers who have lived off their fields for generations more than a good harvest in the coming year.

Compared with these old people, the young and middle-aged people in the village are in a different situation. Although they are really happy for the kindness of God, they will not go to the ridge of the field to have a look like the old people.

In their words, Xue is there anyway, and she won't run away by herself, so why should she suffer that living crime!Compared with this, they prefer to have their wives and children warm on the kang.

Mr. Wang also came early in the morning to look at some of his own land. If he hadn't noticed that he was hungry, he would not be willing to come back!This snow looked gratifying, and it made Mr. Wang forget the previous gloom.

The yard was so quiet that Mr. Wang could clearly hear his breathing.

"It's too many peaceful days! All of them are still asleep!" It was obvious that there were only footprints in the yard when he went out in the morning, which made the old man who was in a good mood feel helpless all of a sudden.

When he arrived in front of the north house, Mr. Wang stomped his feet vigorously, then picked up the feather duster hanging on the wall, swept the snow off his body, and entered the house.

At this time, Mrs. Yang also heard the noise outside the house, and when she saw Mr. Wang coming in, she said: "I went out this early in the morning, and I don't know where such a big spiritual leader is all day long!"

For a long time, Mrs. Yang always spoke with resentment, she did the same to her old man and her son, not to mention the daughter-in-law at home, so Mr. Wang gradually got used to her way of speaking.

"Can't we make breakfast here! But are you happy if you want me to starve to death!" Seeing that Mrs. Yang was still dawdling there, Mr. Wang couldn't help getting a little angry, so he yelled loudly.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Yang trembled in fright at the sudden yell of Mr. Wang. What's wrong with this old man? He was so angry so early in the morning.

"Come on! Come on! This is how I serve people's lives!" Although she was taken aback, Yang's unforgiving temperament still made her retort.

Mr. Wang really didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he just came here smoking his old welding cigarette.

After leaving the house, seeing the snow in the yard, Yang frowned unhappily, then coughed twice, and her shrill and mean voice resounded through the yard.

"I said the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law! Why do you want my old lady to wait for you to get dressed? If you don't get up at this time, you are waiting for the nest! Or you want to lay eggs!"

After saying this, Mrs. Yang didn't move around, but waited for the two people to leave the house with her hands on her waist.

"Mom! Look at this early morning! Isn't it always late to get up on such a day in the past? The child's mother thought it was early, but I stopped him!" The eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Tuwang, was the first to leave the house. He couldn't stand his wife's begging, so he went out of the house first and said good things to his wife.

His own son knew it best, and it was the eldest daughter-in-law who asked his son to say this, so Yang ignored it and stared straight at his eldest son.

Seeing that his words had no effect, Wang Tuwang made his mother even more angry, so he quickly said with a smile on his face, "I went to find my third brother to shovel snow together!"

After saying this, Wang Tuwang hurriedly went to the house of his third brother. As expected, he is really not suitable for meddling in matters between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!If it wasn't for Hu's obedience these days, he wouldn't be able to come like this.

"I said, this is giving birth in the house! Could it be that you are slower than my old lady!" Yang became a little impatient waiting, so her words became even more ugly.

In fact, Mrs. Zhou got up early and was sewing her dowry with Zhuhua!

"Mother! It's obvious that grandma woke up late by herself, and she blames us!" Zhuhua said angrily.

After Zhou finished sewing the last stitch, she bit the end of the thread, and said helplessly, "Who told you that it was your milk! Zhuhua! When I go to my in-law's house in the future, I must live in a separate family, or the one who serves my mother-in-law Days are sad!"

After hearing her mother's words, Zhuhua felt a little disapproving, she always felt that her mother's temper was too good-natured, and it was not so easy to put it on her.

At this moment, Mrs. Yang's voice reprimanded Mrs. Hu loudly came from the yard, and Zhuhua was a little worried that her mother would come: "Mother! Why don't you go out earlier! Or maybe my mother will scold you with some nasty words! "

"Aren't you looking for scolding when you go out at this time! When you finish scolding your uncle, your anger will almost disappear. At that time, if your mother goes out again, at most she will be said a few words!" Zhou used to be She would never say such things in front of her own daughter, but because Zhuhua was about to get married, Zhou wanted this straight-hearted eldest daughter to learn a little bit.

In fact, Mrs. Zhou regretted not teaching her daughter this earlier. She always felt that her daughter was still young, but in the blink of an eye, her daughter was about to get married. Only then did she realize that she didn't have enough time.

When Mrs. Yang's voice of scolding Mrs. Hu gradually subsided, Mrs. Zhou opened the door and walked out slowly.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Yang scolded Mrs. Hu just now, most of her anger subsided. Seeing Mrs. Zhou leaving the house, she only said a few words casually, and then let her go to work.

"Baohua! You must remember that when you grow up, you can't listen to your mother, and you must not be bullied at will!" Although her mother was only scolded by Yang's casually, Zhuhua The hatred in my heart was not lost at all, so I said bitterly to Zhuhua who was still confused.

"En!" Baohua didn't know if she heard her elder sister's words clearly, so she just responded in a low voice, and continued to lean aside and dream.

Zhuhua glared at her younger sister with a bit of resentment, and then resumed her work.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhou pawned some of her dowry on purpose, and then bought Mrs. Yang's favorite snacks to please her, so she agreed to let Zhuhua stay in the Dowry embroidery in the house.

Zhuhua also knew in her heart that her mother loved her, but seeing her mother pawn her favorite hairpin, she felt distressed and angry at the same time, and then burst into embarrassing tears.

The hairpin was given to Zhou by her deceased mother when she was about to die. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, Zhou wouldn't be able to be the hairpin. Except for herself, no one else cared about the tears of her own mother-in-law.

Originally, Zhuhua's dowry was nothing, but if she didn't have time to embroider, she would be looked down upon when she married into her in-law's family.

The whole family finally had breakfast, because the weather was really cold, so after eating, Yang didn't stare at what his daughter-in-law was doing, but followed them back to their own houses.

"Zhuhua! How did you embroider like this! Didn't Mother tell you that you must be careful with the pistils? Be careful, you child! You are such an adult, why can't you listen to a word! This is a fine fabric." It’s all in vain!” Mrs. Zhou was already anxious about Zhuhua’s dowry, but when she saw the cloth in Zhuhua’s hand, she snatched it away, and then reprimanded her.

Zhuhua is also angry in her heart!Seeing his own mother scolding him, he pouted and didn't say a word.

"Hey! Forget it! Forget it!" Mrs. Zhou threw the cloth on the ground in agitation, and then stopped working on the needlework in her hand, but became depressed there.

My mother-in-law is really stingy, except for a wooden box and a piece of red cloth that was pressed at the bottom of the box for a long time ago, I let myself prepare everything else.

This man's monthly money is handed over to the family on time every month, how can I have any money to prepare a dowry for Zhuhua!
Several times, Mrs. Zhou saw her mother-in-law secretly preparing a dowry for her sister-in-law Cuigu, but even so, she couldn't say anything about it.

If Mrs. Yang is made anxious, it is estimated that even that little thing will be gone in the end.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Zhou didn't think of any way to get some dowry for her daughter. Before that, she was counting on her mother's family to subsidize some, but the water thrown out by her married daughter made her two sister-in-laws look bad. , Zhou also saw it.

"Baohua! Has my sister had any contact with that end recently?" Mrs. Zhou thought for a while, then asked her little girl Baohua.

The end in Zhou's mouth naturally refers to Zhao's mother and daughter.

"No!" Baohua muttered in a low voice.

"Then have you met that guy recently?" Mrs. Zhou asked after hearing Baohua's words after thinking about it.

"No! Last time I went to play with Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister was busy growing vegetables! So I didn't say anything!" Baohua said truthfully.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her little girl and sighed!How can anyone grow vegetables in this winter!It was specified that Siya didn't want to see Baohua, so she made it up to lie to her.

"Forget it! I don't want any face anymore, Baohua, you put on your jacket and go out with your mother!" Zhou has no other choice now, so he can only put down his face and beg the other end. .

Regarding the matter of Cuigu before, the reason why Zhou's obedience to Siya was to leave a way for herself. She understood that Zhao's mother and daughter are not what they used to be.

Whether it's the restaurant in the town or the workshop, it shows that Zhao's mother and daughter are living a very good life.
