I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 24 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

The current court prefers plumper women, but Qiao Zaohua is not good-looking! She has small seam-like eyes, negligibly light eyebrows, a flat nose, and a square face! She has a lazy personality, which rich family?

Look good.

In fact, it's not that ugly, but Lu's appearance is just that of an ordinary farmer. His skin has been dulled by work and wind and sand, and his appearance is unattractive. He can't find any merits worth mentioning.

Speaking of the three children born to Mr. Lu and Mr. Qiao, the sons all inherited Mr. Qiao’s good looks, but the daughters inherited almost all of Mr. Lu’s shortcomings. The daughters born after the son married his wife are more or less

They all bear the shadow of Lu - not good-looking!

Mrs. Zheng secretly thought that Mrs. Qiao was not born to Mrs. Lu. She often went to restaurants to sell game, and was attracted by the Zhen family. She married a beautiful daughter-in-law, which gave Mrs. Qiao a delicate appearance.

All the girls in the family are ugly, but these two are good-looking, so why shouldn’t they be ostracized?

Mrs. Zheng sighed secretly in her heart, this man's jealousy is really sinister!

Although Ms. Zheng has an ordinary appearance, she was raised in the county without touching the spring water. She has tender skin and tender flesh. Because she lost her mother when she was young, her father loves her like eyeballs, so she has to save herself a mouthful of food.

Save money to buy facial ointment for her.

She would never forget the look in her sister-in-law's eyes when she met her husband's family after they got married. Qiao Zaohua looked like she wanted to poke her with a needle.

However, be patient for a moment to avoid a hundred days of worry.

Being under the eaves, she had to lower her head. She had to endure the anger in her stomach and continue to please the mother-in-law and aunt.

"I also prepared something for you. It's just right for you to wear now!"

Mrs. Zheng took out a small box from the basket and opened it. Inside were two red silk flowers. They were peach flowers piled neatly with new yarn. They were very beautiful.

Qiao Zaohua is a farmer's daughter, so naturally she doesn't know how to do those pony buns or Suiyun buns. She only wears the most common double bun, so she has no place to wear this hairpin on her head.

Qiao Zaohua was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth. She held the two flowers in her hands like treasures and hurriedly put them on her head.

"Third daughter-in-law, you are so thoughtful. You brought so many things when you came back." Mrs. Lu helped Qiao Zaohua put on the silk flowers, and her anger subsided.

Mrs. Zheng's low-brow look of submissiveness brought out the expressions of the gentle young women in the city, which made Mrs. Lu very satisfied.

Isn't it? Her younger son has a lot of potential, and he married such a gentle, virtuous, and scholarly girl. Then look at Li's appearance. She is rich and rough, not only annoying, but also very lazy at work.

If you don't scold, you won't take action.

It turns out that when Mrs. Qiao was here, everything was running smoothly in the house. There was a hot breakfast every day when I got up, the pig grass was chopped, the chicken food was mixed, and the eggs were neatly placed in the basket.

Moreover, Mrs. Qiao’s cooking is delicious, and the wild vegetables outside can also be made very delicious.

Mrs. Li is now able to work under Mrs. Lu's command, but her work is very rough, and she is always lazy. For example, when cooking, the rice she cooks is given to the pigs, and the pigs don't even eat it. She even has vegetables.

Not even familiar with it!

In desperation, Ms. Lu had to cook by herself.

Now that Mrs. Zheng is back, she can have some free time during the New Year.

Moreover, Mrs. Zheng brought so many things back, the eggs and meat were the second best thing. What was rare were a few packages of fine snacks. These things were not seen in the village. It was very dignified to put them out on plates. When relatives and neighbors came to visit, they were indispensable.

Be envious, Beier has face.

Mrs. Zheng looked at Qiao Zaohua and Mrs. Lu's delighted expressions, but she didn't say at all that these were leftovers from when she made clothes for her son.

"Then I have to trouble my mother to help my daughter-in-law take a look at Hao'er. My daughter-in-law is going to have lunch with her second sister-in-law." Mrs. Zheng patted her son and looked up at Ms. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was satisfied. It was nothing to look after a child, let alone her precious grandson.

"Hey, okay, let's go." Ms. Lu took the child, held it in her arms and patted it.

Qiao Hua waited for Zheng to go out before she said, "Auntie, please don't go to the county to cause trouble again."

"What's going on? Can the little bastard find my mother's hand? She still has the restaurant in her hand. If she gets it back, how much dowry will your sister be able to add to her in the future?" Ms. Lu didn't care.

Qiao Hua hurriedly advised: "Auntie, don't think about it. She must have gone to her grandfather's house to get the breakfast shop. Can that shop belong to her?"

"What's wrong with running to my grandma's house? Her surname is Qiao, not Zhen! I haven't even kicked off her grandma yet. How can she, with such a conscience, not come back for the rest of her life?"

"Mom, what kind of family is her maternal grandfather's family? It's a businessman's family, the most disrespectful of etiquette. She didn't come back to look for trouble because she didn't want to argue with us. If you continue to push your limits, don't say you want to steal your sister-in-law's dowry, I'm afraid.

I’m still going to jail!”

Mrs. Zheng was speechless as she listened outside the window.

She knew that her husband would follow Lu's wishes.

This kind of persuasion has no effect at all!

On the way to the kitchen, she became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she almost tore the corners of her clothes to pieces.

It would be great if her husband could separate the family. She didn't want to wait for Mrs. Lu to dig out a big bag and bury her with this dead old woman.

But Mrs. Lu only expected her husband to prosper, so how could she let him go?

Rural people's lunch is not very particular, let alone in the winter. Stewed cabbage and radish, pancakes or steamed buns make up a complete meal.

Mrs. Zheng was raised by scholars, and she had never been used to eating stews. But if she cooked stir-fries, Mrs. Lu would definitely complain that she didn't know how to live and wasted oil.

Mrs. Zheng was cooking today, and Mrs. Li was so happy to have some free time that she didn't even enter the stove room, so she had to cook the lunch by herself.

She took down the bacon hanging in the kitchen, cut it into a small piece, and hung the rest back up. She cut the bacon into thin strips, chopped the cabbage into thin strips, cut a white radish, and a piece of frozen tofu.

The iron pan is frying.

While the pot was covered and the vegetables were simmering, Zheng mixed mung bean noodles with a little thin noodles and rolled out a lot of noodles. After they were cooked, they took them out and drained them.

In a large bowl, pour a spoonful of fried braised noodles into each bowl, and it becomes braised noodles that northerners often eat.

Naturally, the rest of the stir-fried braised vegetables were poured out into a coarse porcelain basin, and they were brought to the big Kang table in the main room. One or two plates of pickled vegetables and dumplings were placed on it, and the meal was served.

Mrs. Lu glanced at the noodles and was a little unhappy: "Why did you cut the bacon?"

Qiao Zaohua helped Zheng speak and said: "Auntie, the third sister-in-law only cut so much, there must be a lot left. She brought back so many fish and eggs, how can she eat less meat?"

?”

Qiao Zaohua had been craving for the bacon for a long time, but Lv still picked some of it. Lv wanted to keep the remaining piece of bacon until the Chinese New Year, so she never gave it to Qiao Zaohua.

At this time, Mrs. Zheng cut it into dishes. Although there was not much, Qiao Zaohua could clearly see that she had the most shredded bacon in her bowl. Mrs. Zheng mixed the two cracked eggs with water and steamed them.

Two bowls of egg custard, one bowl to please Qiao Zaohua, and one bowl to his son Qiao Yonghao.

Lu was very satisfied with the egg custard she gave Qiao Zaohua. Knowing that she was a scholar's wife, it was inevitable that she would be spoiled, so she didn't care too much about the steamed eggs she gave to her son. She took a sip of noodles from the noodle bowl and felt satisfied.

He sighed and said, "The craftsmanship of the third family is pretty good. It seems that Hua'er will have a good meal every day."

When Qiao Baoer saw the custard, she made a fuss again: "Mom! I want to eat eggs! I want to eat stewed eggs!"

Mrs. Li hurriedly pressed him down: "Damn kid, even these good noodles can't stop your mouth!" She took out the few bacon shreds from her bowl and put them into Qiao Baoer's bowl: "Just eat your meat.

!”

Qiao Baoer refused. With just a few pieces of meat, how could the egg custard make people greedy? The stewed eggs dripping with soy sauce are so fragrant! "I want to eat the stewed eggs!"

Mrs. Zheng smiled apologetically and coaxed Qiao Bao'er in a soft voice: "Brother Bao, your brother is young and can't overcome these things. He can only eat stewed eggs. As an elder brother, please give more to your brother! Is it possible that you still want it?"

Let your brother starve?"

Qiao Baoer rolled his eyes and saw Qiao Zaohua on the side, pounding the smooth and delicate stewed eggs with a spoon, and shouted: "My sister-in-law is old and can eat noodles! She still has so much meat! Why can she eat it?"

Auntie, please let me eat her stewed eggs! She is an aunt, let me give it to my nephew!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was heartbroken.

In the past, when Qiao Zaohua was in a small state, Mrs. Lu would drag her into the house, lock the door and eat secretly. On the surface, everyone ate the same.

Now that Mrs. Zheng had put Xiaozao on the table blatantly, Qiao Baoer became anxious.

Qiao Zaohua is the most protective of food. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and cursed: "Bah! You are worthy of eating stewed eggs! Take a look at yourself without peeing, look at your face! Are you worthy of me? Me

She is your sister-in-law, you still have to respect me!"

Mrs. Lu's face was very ugly: "Second wife, please take Qiao Bao'er down to eat." She also complained about Mrs. Zheng in her heart, why didn't she stew eggs for Zaohua in private instead of bringing them to the public?

Mrs. Li feels very sad. Her son may not even know what stewed eggs taste like when he is so old!

She took courage and said, "Auntie, we only have two children here. You, the old man, love him so much!"

"I didn't hurt him before, or something? He didn't work all day long, and he only ate and played. Whose kid is like this? Even the dog from Wang's family next door can help cut pig grass! If I didn't hurt him, I would have cut him off earlier.

His leg is bent! I think you have had too many birthdays, and you no longer have eyes for an old woman like me!" Mrs. Lu pulled her face and put the bowl in her hand on the table with a "clunking" sound.

Mrs. Li looked frightened and said, "How dare you, my wife? She respects you in her heart! It's just that Bao'er is the grandson of Lao Lu, so just let him eat some."

Mrs. Lu snorted: "The eggs are steamed by Lao San's family. Just ask her."

The trouble came again. Mrs. Zheng cursed in her heart. They said that there was a lot of trouble in front of the widow's door, but this old godly woman had a lot of trouble behind closed doors! She rolled her eyes and said: "A bowl of eggs, my Hao'er may not be happy."

When you're done eating, just give some to Bao'er's nephew." Then he put half of the stewed eggs in his son's bowl and gave it to Qiao Bao'er's bowl.

Now, the greedy and selfish Qiao Zaohua saw that no one was trying to grab her custard, and she felt more favorable to the third sister-in-law who took the initiative.

Ms. Lu thought that her younger daughter-in-law was more sensible.

Seeing that her son had finally managed to eat a bite of eggs, Mrs. Li burst into tears of gratitude. After dinner, she rarely took the initiative to help her siblings wash the dishes. But she was also very unmeticulous in her work. Zheng rarely had to wash the dishes she had washed again.

Mrs. Li sighed: "Thanks to you, my sister-in-law, Bao'er can have a bite of eggs!"

Zheng was surprised: "This is not a disaster year, and the old hens at home don't nest in the nest. What do you mean?"

"You don't know, the old hen at home is diligent in laying eggs, but the old lady is biased if she can't stand it! Although there are more vegetables, rice and noodles in this kitchen, the important things are all in the old lady's room! Look how thin Bao'er is.

It’s like something, look at me again!”

Mrs. Zheng had no intention of answering. There was no door in this kitchen, so she couldn't hold it any longer and the old lady came in. In order to maintain her image of a gentle and virtuous woman, she rationally chose to shut up. After all, she didn't stay in this house for long. After the New Year, she

Return to Quwo.

At this time, even if she had no thoughts in her heart, she still wanted to get close to Qiao Yun.

Just now, my husband said that Ms. Lu wanted to steal her sister-in-law’s dowry?

She didn't know when the Xuan Tang Dynasty had the rule that a daughter-in-law's dowry should be left to her mother-in-law!

I heard that the eldest niece has a catering shop in the county. It would be better to go back in the next year and pay a visit. If I can lend her hand to make things difficult for Lu, that would be great.

Please give me a monthly pass, please add it to your collection, please give me a recommendation vote, okay (′3｀)
