Chapter 101 You can scold her too
Such a young girl, holding a baby in one hand and grabbing something with the other.
It looked like he needed to free up his hands to get something, so it was hard for Wen Tang not to lend a helping hand.
Hearing Wen Tang's words, Wang Xiaohui turned to look at Wen Tang, then smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for your help."
After handing the child to Wen Tang, Wang Xiaohui freed her hands, reached into her pocket, and took out two eggs. She put them on the kitchen table embarrassedly, "Aunt, please trouble Brother Jingshen to help write a couplet."
Gu Jinfeng hurried to stop her action, "Look, kid, why are you being so polite?"
"We are not someone else here, just take the things over and tell Jing Shen what you want to write. Are you still being so polite?"
Although Gu Jinfeng said so, Wang Xiaohui still put the eggs in an empty bowl and refused to take them back. "Aunt, if you don't want them, I'm embarrassed to write this couplet."
"If I take this pair of paper couplets back exactly as they are, my mother-in-law will definitely scold me, saying that I can't even do such a small thing well."
Wen Tang: "..."
Wang Xiaohui's child was only three months old. He was very small and chubby. He stared at Wen Tang and Chi Yuewang with eyes like black grapes, but he was very well behaved and didn't cry.
The child is a little thin.
Wen Tang looked at Wang Xiaohui. Since the mother was not fat, it was understandable why the child was thin.
Think about it, what good family would let a mother who just gave birth only a hundred days ago go out in the cold, holding her baby in one hand and red paper in the other, to find someone to write couplets when there are a lot of idle people at home at the end of the year?
It would be strange if the child could get fat when he and his mother live in such a family!
Wen Tang was a man who could not hold back his words. As soon as Wang Xiaohui finished saying "Mother-in-law blames her", Wen Tang immediately asked "Is there no one else in your family who can breathe?"
Wang Xiaohui was stunned by this question.
Or did Gu Jinfeng change her tone and ask gently, "Where is your mother-in-law?"
"And what about Jinghui?"
"Jinghui is killing fish."
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law and three sisters-in-law are steaming rice cakes together."
"Didn't you steam it yesterday?" asked Gu Jinfeng.
Wang Xiaohui shook her head and then smiled bitterly, "I'm the only one who has free time, so my mother asked me to come."
It was Lin Si Niang who said this: "Idle people"
Lin Si Niang asked Wang Xiaohui to bring red paper to Lin Jingshen to write couplets, but Lin Si Die also disagreed.
After all, they have a child with them. If others see them, won’t they accuse them of bullying?
Lin Sidi and Lin Siniang had four sons and one daughter. Except for the eldest daughter who has already married, the other four sons have not yet separated from the family. Their family is very large.
In this situation, asking a new bride holding a baby to find someone to write couplets, isn't that bullying?
But Lin Si Niang responded with one sentence, "She is the only one who has nothing to do. If she doesn't go, who will go?"
Due to the large population, Wang Xiaohui has little need to help with things like steaming buns and frying dough sticks.
She has to take care of a child and feed him from time to time. She also has to wash diapers when the child poops or pees. Just one child is enough to keep her busy.
Others were too embarrassed to call her.
It’s embarrassing to shout, but those who work can’t help but complain.
The other daughters-in-law complained, but Lin Si Niang, the mother-in-law, was not the type to just sit there and listen, so she couldn't bear to see Wang Xiaohui idle.
Wang Xiaohui also had a strong sense of self-esteem, so she held the child, took the cut paper, put the eggs in her pocket, and went out.
Wen Tang was stunned after hearing what Wang Xiaohui said, "Did your mother-in-law get out of bed right after giving birth?"
"Otherwise," Wen Tang gestured to Wang Xiaohui's appearance when she came in, holding the child in one hand and red paper in the other, neither of them had a free hand to take the egg out of her pocket, "How could she have the nerve to say such a thing as an idler?"
Originally Wang Xiaohui just felt bitter, but when Wen Tang spoke and said that he stood on her side, Wang Xiaohui's eyes turned red.
Her eyes were red, and Wen Tang felt embarrassed. Why did he make someone cry?
Wen Tang quickly took out some still-hot melon seeds from his pocket and gave them to Wang Xiaohui, "Eat...eat some melon seeds."
She is actually quite eloquent, but when faced with the tears of a weak girl, she becomes tongue-tied.
Gu Jinfeng also hurriedly moved a stool for them, "Come, Xiaohui, sit for a while."
Zhong Meixian also said, "Yes, sit for a while, it's still early!"
Wang Xiaohui took the melon seeds from Wen Tang's hand, took the stool handed to her by Gu Jinfeng, and sat down.
Wang Xiaohui cracked melon seeds hard and held back the tears in her eyes.
Then I couldn't help but say, "My mother doesn't like me. She says I'm slow and can't work efficiently."
"Then she helped you?" Wen Tang asked.
Wang Xiaohui shook her head, "Mom still dislikes me for giving birth to a girl."
"That I am unlucky."
Wen Tang: "..."
Feudal remnants, feudal remnants!
"Isn't she a woman herself?"
"Isn't she also born by a woman?" Chi Yue couldn't help but say.
Wen Tang nodded. "That's right. According to her, she and her mother are both unlucky?"
Wang Xiaohui quickly shook her head and smiled timidly, "I dare not say this, or I'm afraid she will scold me to death."
"You can scold her too," Wen Tang blurted out, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.
Zhong Meixian sat there, and quietly chanted "Amitabha" and "Avalokitesvara" in her heart. She was really embarrassed.
Fortunately, she had been obedient and submissive early on, otherwise, at her age, she would still be scolded for her dead mother...
Zhong Meixian thought that there had already been an extra grave in the southern land.
Amitabha!
After Wen Tang said, "You can scold her too," Wang Xiaohui shrank her neck and smiled awkwardly, "I dare not."
Gu Jinfeng said, "Xiaohui is an honest child."
"And he's not too old, he's only nineteen. After the New Year, he's only twenty!"
Wen Tang nodded, "No wonder."
"Her mother-in-law is just bullying her because she is young!"
Gu Jinfeng didn't dare to respond to this.
It would be fine if these words didn't reach Lin Si Niang's ears. If they did, she would probably come to my house to quarrel with me!
Not wanting to get involved, Gu Jinfeng looked at the child in Wen Tang's arms and said, "The child is a hundred days old, right?"
Speaking of children, Wang Xiaohui's eyes lit up a little, and then she shook her head, "Not yet, they won't arrive until after the New Year!"
Wen Tang was tactful enough to return the child to Wang Xiaohui, and Wang Xiaohui held the child in her arms to show Gu Jinfeng.
Gu Jinfeng looked at it carefully and said, "This child is just like you, Bai," and then touched her hand, "But he's not too fat, Xiaohui, is it because your milk supply is not good?"
When talking about breast milk, Wang Xiaohui's eyes became dim again.
Their family has not yet split up, and the whole family eats together in a big pot. The family's food rations and money are all in the hands of the mother-in-law, Qiu Yuefang. What to eat on weekdays is all decided by Qiu Yuefang. Qiu Yuefang is a stingy person. The men and grandsons in the family can eat eggs, but the daughters-in-law and granddaughters cannot eat them. Even she, a new mother, is not allowed to eat them during the confinement period.
When she gave birth, her parents came to give her gifts, including two chickens, thirty eggs, and six packets of brown sugar. Among them, four packets of brown sugar and fifteen eggs were all taken by Qiu Yuefang.
