The women from each family have become accustomed to coming to Uncle Six's house to work every day, and they are all happy.
Not to mention that the entire backyard is a world of women, and it is very convenient for them to sit, lie down and come in and out. Just to say that the eldest sister-in-law Yang Lihua is generous and never stingy with trivial matters. She almost makes ginger soup for them every day to drive away the cold, and occasionally she will give them some melon seeds and peanuts to invite them to rest for a while and eat something!
The most important thing is that when they arrived at Tai's house, they saved a lot of firewood for heating the kang and the house.
The weather was cold and it was inconvenient to travel back and forth, so they simply brought some dry food with them and ate a bite at noon, and then went home after dark.
Liu Dongniang was very skillful. She could make two buckets of soup by simply cutting some cabbage and radish. Even without meat, it tasted delicious when eaten with dry food.
In short, it's all advantages and no disadvantages.
On this day, as soon as the old and young women gathered together, they saw Yang Lihua and Chunhong checking accounts in the warehouse. They thought that the goods were about to be shipped and couldn't help but feel happy.
Because shipping means the workshop will have to make money, and they also have to get paid!
The son of the third aunt came back to spend the winter and stayed at home to take care of the children. She and her daughter-in-law came here to work and earn money.
All women in the world know that raising children is the hardest job.
The third aunt's daughter-in-law came here not to work, but also to take a break, so she was very excited and diligent every day.
As soon as she entered the yard, she asked, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yang Lihua was still thinking about what happened last night, so she couldn't laugh. She replied, "No, it's just a simple job. I'll give you some more cashmere yarn later. You can take a rest first."
No one took it seriously. They were now experienced and could knit half a pair of cashmere trousers in a day, so they naturally consumed a lot of cashmere yarn.
At this time, Erya came running over from the front yard and reported, "Aunt, there are distinguished guests coming to the door. They are riding in a large carriage and have an entourage with them. They look very impressive!"
Distinguished guest?
Yang Lihua was confused, but then she became happy when she thought of her nephew, the prince.
She hurriedly instructed her third aunt, "Aunt, take everyone to work first, and remember to lock the gate."
Third Aunt responded loudly, and then closed the corner door, blocking the women's view of the front yard.
Third Aunt couldn't help but nag a few words when she saw them gossiping.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get to work! Be careful not to complain to each other about not getting paid enough when the wages are due. Work harder and you'll have everything you need!"
The women were not angry. They surrounded her and walked into the house, chatting casually.
"Sixth Uncle's family is truly prosperous these days, and they always have distinguished guests visiting. I wonder where they came from today, and what good things they brought?"
Third Aunt hated them the most for being so jealous that they would poke fun at other people's doorsteps, so she would start to retort them.
"Are you curious? Do you want me to take you to the front to take a closer look and tidy up for Uncle Six's family? It would be best if you could help with some food and drink!"
"Oh, what are you talking about, Auntie!" The woman was embarrassed and quickly tried to make amends, "I'm just curious, curious!"
The others also hurried to interrupt and got busy on the kang...
In the front yard, Yang Lihua saw that the carriage at the door was indeed gorgeous, even a little ostentatious, so she turned into the kitchen and asked her busy sister-in-law.
"Dong Niang, who is the distinguished guest at home?"
Liu Dongniang, who was boiling water, replied, "I don't know him. He looks a bit scary. I didn't even dare to go into the house!"
Yang Lihua frowned, thought for a moment, then took the teapot and instructed, "You take the boys outside and don't come in. Is Zhuzhu at Daddy's place? Wait for me to bring her out. As for whether to stay for lunch, let me see what Dad means."
If it were someone else's family, the eldest sister-in-law not allowing the sisters-in-law to enter the house to meet guests would basically be a sign of oppression. But in the Tai family, it was a wholehearted protection.
Because Liu Dongniang was not a sociable person, her greatest joy was staying in the kitchen and cooking delicious meals every day.
She quickly agreed, "I understand, sister-in-law, if you need anything, just call me!"
Yang Lihua brought the teapot into the room and frowned after just a quick glance.
Because the visitor was not sitting in the left or right guest seats, but was sitting at the top like the old man, on an equal footing.
This is simply taking over the main event and is very unruly.
But Yang Lihua didn't know the inside story and didn't say anything rashly. She just put the tea on the table, then stepped aside to the old man and picked up her fat daughter.
As a result, she was so well-behaved and low-key that she didn't even get a good look at the person who came. The person who came was extremely presumptuous and stared at her for a long time.
Yang Lihua lowered her head, but could feel the lust in that gaze. She raised her head in anger and glared at him fiercely.
The man who came was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a royal blue silk robe, a sable fur cloak, and a golden crown on his head. He looked rich and noble, but his appearance was... hard to describe.
With a big face, small eyes, a flat nose and thick lips, he doesn't look like an honest or kind person at all.
Appearance is determined by the heart, ugly people often do strange things!
At this moment, the old man and Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye who were sitting with him also noticed that there was something wrong with the man's eyes!
Tai Jizu was honest and simple-minded. He stood up and was about to rush forward!
He considered himself born in poverty and considered it a blessing from heaven that he could marry the daughter of a scholar like his wife. Moreover, his wife was virtuous and dignified, and devoted to the entire Tai family.
As a man, if you let your wife like this be insulted by others, you might as well drown yourself in a piss!
Tai Jiye was also so angry that his scalp was tingling, but he was smarter and could see that his father was afraid of this man, so he pulled his brother back.
Sure enough, the old man put down the tea bowl heavily and told his daughter-in-law, "Zhuzhu is sleepy, the eldest daughter-in-law will take her back to the house!"
Yang Lihua immediately carried Zhuzhu into the west room and closed the door tightly.
The old man felt even heavier in his heart when he saw his granddaughter covering her eyes with her chubby hands, as if she didn't want to look at anyone.
"I wonder what brings this distinguished guest here? If it's nothing, I won't entertain you in our humble farmhouse!"
The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze, and when he heard what Mr. Tai said, a hint of anger and contempt flashed in his eyes.
He just sat there nonchalantly as usual, completely ignoring Mr. Tai's attempt to chase him away.
Old Master Tai frowned and was about to speak, but the steward next to the middle-aged man spoke.
"Old man, you served as a centurion in the border defense army back then? Serving beside the late General Zhao Yiwu?"
Old Master Tai's heart trembled, and he replied coldly, "I did retire from the border defense army and came back to farm, but it's been so long that I've forgotten what I did. Who are you? Why did you come to my house just to ask this?"
The steward bowed obsequiously and saluted the middle-aged man, then proudly introduced him, "The late General Zhao Yiwu was our master's uncle. Our old grandfather was the late general's younger brother and the uncle of General Zhao Anbang, who is now in charge of the border defense army!"
After that, he scolded again, "What are you waiting for? When you see your old master, kneel down and kowtow!"
