80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 15, making clothes

This is not a big deal, as long as you take good care of it at home.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of raising her at home, the sister-in-law of Meilian no longer wanted to take care of her.

  She herself has given birth to two sons, both of whom are almost three or four years old, and they can leave her hands.

 But she is small-minded and cannot see others having a better life than her.

I saw Aunt Mei Lian recuperating at home, scolding her every day. The new daughter-in-law was thin-skinned. After scolding her so many times, she didn't dare to rest anymore and started doing some simple chores at home.

As long as she is comfortable, this matter can be settled. However, the pregnancy is obviously not very good, and she is still frightened every day. In addition, her mother-in-law also agrees with her sister-in-law.

She had to do it even if she didn't want to. The more she tolerated, the more the two of them went too far. They began to let Mei Lian do all the work at home regardless of the importance.

  She is very tolerant and could not endure the entire pregnancy, but in the end, she and the child in her belly were harmed.

　　　There were no two deaths, but the child died as soon as he was born and did not live more than an hour.

Are you angry?

 Hate?

 Resent?

Melian is angry with her, angry that no one in her husband's family cares about her.

She hated her husband's family even more for being ruthless and ruthless, and her sister-in-law for being so picky. Of course, she hated herself even more. Why couldn't she stand up?

 Want to be patient? Why endure it?

She complained that her man had never said a kind word to her from beginning to end. Even if he helped her with her work, she would have more work the next day.

At that time, she had death intentions.

 The more this happened, the more excessive her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were.

 She said this was ominous and retributive. So many people in the village were pregnant and had children. Why did everyone else survive, but why couldn't she?

That is retribution, God will not let her have a child.

Every unpleasant word was said to her, and every sin was placed on her head.

Until the end, Mei Lian couldn't bear it anymore, and her parents came to make a fuss and persuaded her, so she slowly thought about it.

Divorce was impossible because there was no such thing as divorce at that time.

After confinement, she had a fight with her sister-in-law. She couldn't survive the fight because she was weak.

 The next day she went back to her parents' home, called her three brothers, and beat them severely.

He also had a falling out with his mother-in-law.

 The family was finally separated.

They got the land where they live now. Those who didn’t take the old man’s land all had the land in their own names.

In this way, the young couple lived separately and lived in their parents' house for half a year. They finally borrowed money to repair the house they lived in now, but the sister-in-law was not convinced.

Chewing the roots of the tongue everywhere, Meilian also changed her temperament.

 Hence, I no longer dare to bully her.

More than a year later, she became pregnant with Lixia, and the following year she became pregnant with her son.

 The days are getting better and better as time goes by.

As for the sister-in-law, her life was easy, but not sad either. After the subcontracting was completed, her husband had subcontracted his family's land, and he went out to work with his wife and children.

Grandma He didn't like the niece-in-law very much. She never asked about her, and she didn't speak to her when she saw her. Grandma He also pretended that she didn't know her.

Listening to Aunt Fenglian's story, Mei Xue knew why she said she wanted her to be stronger.

 Indeed, that kind of talkative woman will only have a long memory if you beat her and scold her.

“The life of Aunt Mei Lian’s family is not bad now.” Mei Xue said with a smile.

"No, the conditions in the village are a bit worse, but at least there is land and land to support a large family. The outside world is not that good. You have to buy everything with money. If you don't buy it, you won't have anything to eat."

Mei Xue agreed with grandma's words, "Yes, grandma, you don't know that even the people in the city have to spend money to buy small vegetables. For us, just one kind can last for a quarter."

Mei Xue also likes this kind of life. Rather than buying it with money, she prefers to grow it herself.

Mei Xue gave the money from selling vegetables to her grandma when she came back today. Grandma looked happy and she sold the vegetables faster than usual.

"That's because you're lucky. You sold quickly today. In the past, it would have been sold until the afternoon." She has sold vegetables herself, but she doesn't know whether the vegetables are good or not.

But seeing the smile on Xiaoxue's face, Grandma He was still very happy.

“However, growing some vegetables and selling them can also subsidize the family income, which is enough for the family to eat for several days.” Grandma He is very satisfied with the current life.

 Compared to the past, it was really one sky and one land. Now every year, apart from the public grain payment, the land cultivated by the family does not receive any external investment, and it can feed the family for a whole year.

Nothing like before, even food was not enough.

“Grandma, let’s order a variety of dishes in the future, and I’ll sell them all in the town.” Mei Xue was very concerned about this matter.

Grandma He is very happy that Xiaoxue likes this kind of life, unlike other little daughters-in-law who either want this or that.

“It’s done, it’s time to plant melons after the autumn harvest. Let’s plant some melons then. It will be good whether we eat it ourselves or sell it. It will last a long time.”

With grandma’s consent, Mei Xue was very motivated, “Well, I’ll listen to grandma. When the time comes, I’ll help grandma plow the land and grow vegetables.”

The mother-in-law and grandson had a delicious dinner so harmoniously that there was nothing to do at night. There was no electricity in the village yet, so it was up to God to do anything.

 After going to bed early, both of them had a dreamless night.

The next day, Mei Xue took the cloth she bought to Aunt Meilian’s house, because she knew how to make clothes and also had a sewing machine.

Cotton is not a day's work. Grandma He would play cotton at home, and Mei Xue would take the cloth to Aunt Mei Lian's house.

 When you walk to Aunt Meilian’s house, you have to pass by the door of Aunt Xilian’s house.

It’s still a little rainy today, so everyone basically doesn’t go out and is resting at home. It’s not long before the autumn harvest, so everyone is gathering strength.

"Where are you going, Xiaoxue?" Mei Xue was thinking about something when she heard someone calling her. She hurriedly looked around and saw several people sitting under the eaves of Aunt Xilian's house. Who did Mei Xue know?

"Go to Aunt Mei Lian's house to make two sets of clothes for grandma." Mei Xue is straightforward and doesn't hide it when others ask her. The main reason is that she can't hide it. She has a cloth in her hand.

"Hey, Xiaoxue is very filial. I went to the market yesterday and bought cloth for your grandma to make clothes for." The person who spoke was the daughter-in-law of Chen Dayou's family below. This person has a good relationship with Sister-in-law Yong.

She is also a famous fast-talking woman in the village.

Meixue didn’t recognize her, but the voice was different from the one just now. She knew that it was not her who called her.

"Yeah." Mei Xue didn't want to say anything more to these people. She just wanted to quickly learn how to make clothes from Aunt Mei Lian.

"If nothing happens, I'll leave first." After all, he didn't recognize the person, and he didn't have the intention to say anything more.

“Why are you so anxious?” Chen Dayou’s wife ran towards Xiaoxue in the rain, as if she had found some treasure, her eyes always paying attention to the thing in Mei Xue’s hand.

 Because there was a lot of cloth, Mei Xue carried it in a basket, otherwise it would be easy to get it when it rained.
