Rebirth of a Farming Wife

The old lady likes to show off, so although she is not having a birthday party, she has set up six tables. It was the same in previous years. It was quite lively with people coming and going. The people invited were all the neighbors, as well as some of the old ladies who the old lady knew. Anyway, if you don't come with delicious food, you won't get it in vain, and it's not a whole birthday. Just give me random gifts, and you will still make money in the end.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people like the old lady can only get along with people who are similar in character to the old lady. Therefore, every year when the old lady celebrates her birthday, the big house is actually given. There is money in it, but the money in the big house is in the hands of the old lady, and no one else can.

The food was all put on the table, and it was time to start the banquet. A large free table was specially placed next to the old lady. On it were gifts from various families. Next, the old lady's children and grandchildren gave birthday gifts. .

Su Wenyue murmured in her heart, this scene was really formal and presentable, the old lady didn't usually like to show off.

The rules are orderly. The eldest brother should give birthday gifts to the second brother, but the old lady and the eldest brother always look down on the second brother and feel that the second brother's birthday gift is not worthy of consideration, so the second brother has always been ranked last. This year is no exception. After the eldest brother and his married aunt both gave birthday gifts, it was the second brother's turn.

However, because her grandson married a daughter-in-law with a good family background, Mrs. Han still had some expectations. Although she pretended not to care, her eyes were fixed on her second son.

"Mom, my son and his family wish you happiness as long as the east sea and longevity as the south mountain." Han Jincai said and also gave a birthday gift, which was a set of exquisite silk and satin clothes.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw this set of clothes, and there was a bit of a smile on her face. But then she remembered something, picked up the clothes and looked through them. Sure enough, she didn't see anything else, and her face darkened again.

In previous years, the second wife would also add one tael of silver to the birthday gift. This has been an unwritten rule for many years. Of course, not everyone is like this. It is specifically for the second wife. The old lady is sure that the second son will be easy to talk to, so she dare not not do so. I listened to her, so I made a fuss, and then I made this rule.

In fact, the birthday gifts given by other people rarely exceed one tael of silver. Erfang was too real in the past, and no one paid attention to an inconspicuous birthday bag. The old lady got the money and scolded Erfang. In the eyes of others, Erfang also felt that Erfang Too stingy.

This year's birthday gift is Su Wenyue's intention, and she wore it like this on purpose. The clothes were dug out from her parents' house and kept in a warehouse. Someone gave them to Anshi. However, Anshi is very particular about her clothes and only wears her own clothes. It is custom-made in the embroidery room or in the large embroidery room in Chang'an by a specialized embroiderer. I never wear the clothes sent by others. And judging from An's identity, the clothes are made of ordinary materials and old styles, even if they are not stored in a warehouse. , it was also rewarded to the servants of the family, so Su Wenyue could be considered using it as waste.

However, although it is said to be recycling waste, it is definitely a good thing for the level of the Han family. If you go to a clothing store to buy this piece of clothing, it will indeed cost several taels of silver, but the clothes are valuable when you buy them, but they are not valuable when you sell them. , Su Wenyue also guarded against the old lady or people from the big house buying things in exchange for money.

"Second brother, did you miss something?" The old lady of the Han family was dissatisfied and asked directly and cryptically, but she was really willing to give up.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Han Jincai didn't know whether he really didn't understand what his mother meant or if he pretended not to understand. He asked with a confused look on his face, which made the old lady stunned.

"Second brother, don't pretend to be stupid for me. I thought you were an honest person. Have you been instigated by your wife again? All of them have married their wives and forgotten their mothers. Anyway, I am an eyesore to you. "The old lady never knew how to save face for her second son, so she scolded him whenever she asked.

"Mom, my son really doesn't understand what you mean. You just say it directly when you always have something to say. You also know that your son is stupid, so he never makes you happy. It's not worthwhile to make yourself angry." Han Jincai said on the face of Unabashed anxiety and sincerity.

Su Wenyue only now feels that her father-in-law is also a talented person. She was also afraid that her father-in-law would not be able to be a filial son at critical times. Now that she has seen her father-in-law's acting skills, her father-in-law is definitely very clear and not confused at ordinary times. She absolutely did not believe that her father-in-law did not understand what the old lady meant.

"Second uncle, what I mean is very clear. Don't pretend to be confused. This great day has made everyone unhappy." The person who spoke out was Han Jinbiao's eldest daughter-in-law, Han Zhou, and the old lady of the Han family. The one who is partial is the eldest grandson. Most of the old lady's benefits fall on these two people. It's no wonder that the Han Zhou family can't keep calm.

"House hall sister-in-law, what are you talking about? What does it mean to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand? Do you say that to your elders? You elders should just bully my father-in-law for being an honest man! We rushed to the county seat early in the morning to give Grandma wishes you a happy birthday. She is so busy that she doesn’t even have a drink of water.”

"Sister-in-law, you didn't understand, but I did. The hall's sister-in-law thinks we didn't give grandma enough birthday gifts." Su Wenyue spoke at the right moment.

The Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had all made appointments when they went out. As soon as Su Wenyue opened her mouth, Mrs. Liu knew what she meant, and she even raised her voice louder. The first lady wanted to save face, and she was not afraid of embarrassment. The bigger the fuss, the better. Let everyone see the faces of people like the old lady and Dafang, which can be regarded as a relief to their second fang.

"What! It's too little, and it's still too little? How is this possible! With our family conditions, we are all working in the fields, and we can't earn much silver in a year. In order to celebrate grandma's birthday, we have spent all our savings. Thinking about the birthday gifts that grandma has been dissatisfied with in the past, the clothes she bought in the clothing store this year cost several taels of silver, and there are so many birthday buns, not to mention how much white flour was used, it took a whole day just to make them. This is still not enough, do you think our family is a landlord!" Liu's words were full of dissatisfaction and anger, which was actually the fact.

Everyone listen When it came to Liu's words, everyone started talking about it in private. Even if they had average eyesight, they could tell that the dress was made of silk and the workmanship was exquisite. It would cost at least several taels of silver to buy it. And the plump white birthday buns on the table turned out to be made by the second wife of the Han family. No wonder the ingredients were so real. Such beautiful buns can only be made in a big restaurant. They are all honest people. Why is the old lady still not satisfied? Look at the things sent by the first wife, which were only a little over one or two taels of silver, and the old lady happily accepted them. Why did the second wife cause so many troubles? The old lady is really biased.
