Chapter 327: Uncertain
Liu Ruxing saw that her daughter was wearing a loose fur vest over her old cotton-padded coat and a fur hat with rabbit ears on her head.
Her eyes appear distinct in black and white, and are particularly lively.
She was holding a piece of cake and nibbling it, which made her look more like a little rabbit.
"He'er, how can you eat your aunt's food? Put it down..."
"I asked her to eat it." Wen Yan stopped her and took the opportunity to stuff a piece of dessert into her hand and asked her to eat it too.
"This... I can't eat such a delicious snack." Liu Ruxing was very reserved and wanted to return the snack to her.
"Snacks are bought to be eaten, so eat them quickly, second sister." Wen Yan urged her again and again, and Liu Ruxing took a small bite.
The soft, sweet and fragrant mung bean cake melts in your mouth.
Liu Ruxing's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Wen Yan asked with concern.
The second sister buried her head even lower and shook her head: "No...nothing."
She just had never eaten such sweet and exquisite snacks since she got married.
Wen Yan could see that she was hiding something, and perhaps she didn't want to expose her family's predicament, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Wen Yan sat aside, supporting her chin and watching the mother and daughter eat.
After they finished eating, they were given new ones, and the mother and daughter were always busy.
Liu Ruxing felt uncomfortable being stared at by Wen Yan, and she ate two pieces and refused to eat anymore.
She touched her cheek: "Little...little sister, is there anything dirty on my face?"
"Nothing dirty. Second sister is very pretty and looks a lot like mother." Wen Yan shook her head. "When I look at you, the feeling I get is completely different from when I look at the Wen sisters. Maybe it's because of our blood relationship."
Liu Ruxing looked embarrassed.
Wen Yan continued, "Second sister, we are sisters, we should interact more often in the future."
Liu Ruxing's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and a little light appeared in her empty, dark eyes.
But the next moment, she suddenly withdrew her hand and lowered her head.
His tone also turned cold: "Forget it. You are the wife of a juren, a lowly peddler like me can't afford you."
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Ruxing suddenly threw the snack in her hand to the ground and said in a mocking tone, "Stop pretending here.
You rich people are really funny. You want me to be grateful to you for just a few snacks.
Other families keep slaves and pay them one or two taels of silver every month, and you ask me to act like sisters with you just by saying a few nice words. You are so disgusting."
After saying that, she roughly picked up Xiao Fanghe and left.
Little Fang He was terrified. She huddled together and dared not move, allowing her mother to take her away.
The third sister-in-law came in with food and was bumped on the shoulder by Liu Ruxing at the door, and she almost dropped the food in her hand.
The third sister-in-law walked into the room and asked Wen Yan with a puzzled look on her face, "When did the second sister come to your room? She looked so angry. Did you have a fight?"
Wen Yan spread her hands: "I was chatting with her, and we were talking fine, but she suddenly got angry, threw something and walked out."
Wen Yan pointed at the broken snacks on the ground.
The third sister-in-law shook her head helplessly, sighed, and put the tray on the kang table: "Hurry up and eat something. Mother will take you to meet people later."
The food that my third sister-in-law brought was very light.
A bowl of minced meat porridge and three light side dishes.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law."
"My brother-in-law specifically told me that since you're still sick, you can't eat anything too greasy, so my mother specifically asked my sister-in-law to make you some porridge.
It was my mother and brother-in-law who put in the effort, and it was my sister-in-law who did the hard work. I was responsible for bringing it over, and I owe you a favor."
The third sister-in-law shook her head with a smug expression.
Wen Yan pursed her lips and smiled. This third sister-in-law was really playful and cute.
The Liu family sisters-in-law can get along so harmoniously thanks to her clever and lovely personality.
After Wen Yan finished her meal, she followed Zhang Gan'niang to meet the guests.
Wen Yan used tea instead of wine, toasted everyone, and then returned to his room on the pretext of "getting rid of illness."
The lunch banquet lasted for more than an hour.
The noisy yard finally quieted down.
Ying Zhilin was helped back to the room, drunk.
There was already some sobering tea brewed on the stove in Wen Yan's room.
She gave a bowl to each drinker in the house.
Ying Zhilin drank the sobering tea and went to bed and fell asleep.
Wen Yan looked at him sleeping and actually found him a little cute.
At this time, the voice of the second sister saying goodbye came from the yard.
But Fang the peddler didn't want to leave. He pulled Liu Ruxing and said, "We finally came back once, and we haven't fulfilled our filial duties yet. How can we leave?"
The Liu family just held a banquet today, so there must be a lot of food left over.
Moreover, the little sister he just recognized seemed to be very rich, and he had not yet gotten close to them and gained any benefits from them.
How can you just leave like this?
Liu Ruxing shook off his hand, picked up Xiao Fanghe and walked out.
Fang the peddler was furious and mad, he stomped his feet and followed him out.
Zhang Gan's mother ran after him, carrying a basket. "These are all leftovers from today. Take them home and eat them."
The Liu family's feast today was not bad. Every table was cleaned up, even the soup was scraped up with multi-grain steamed buns. There was no leftovers.
It was clearly reserved for her in advance.
Fang the peddler rubbed his hands and was about to take the basket.
Liu Ruxing's eyes flashed, and she pushed the basket back, sneering, "You wouldn't be willing to give it to me if it wasn't leftovers.
Save the leftovers for your precious little daughter. I'm a peddler who earns money by going from street to street, so I don't want your charity."
After saying this, she held her head high and left with a clear mind.
Fang the peddler looked at the basket with heartache, snorted coldly, and followed him out.
There was no one else at home, so Wen Yan began to distribute gifts to everyone.
She traveled thousands of miles to get so many furs, how could she not prepare some for her family?
So, she prepared a set of cold-proof fur sweaters for everyone in the Liu family.
A fur vest, a woolen vest, a fur scarf, a hat and a pair of gloves.
Besides that, Wen Yan also brought them a large sack of scraps of cloth: "When you have nothing to do, you can piece them together and make a small toy. Don't mind my elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law."
The two of them were so happy that they couldn't wait.
For an ordinary farmer's family, a piece of clothing can be passed down for three generations, and they can only make a few sets of the cheapest linen clothes in their lifetime.
Although these are scraps of cloth, they are furs.
Fur!
Apart from being a little torn, there is no difference when made into clothes.
The two of them couldn't let it go and were already discussing what else they wanted to make.
Only then did Wen Yan recognize all the members of the Liu family.
There are now ten people in the Liu family.
Zhang Gan'niang and his wife, the first wife and her husband have two children, the third wife and her husband have one child, and the fourth child, because he was Liu Ruyue's tutor, knew a few words and worked as a waiter in an inn in the county town.
"It's a pity that my second sister has passed away. I also prepared things for her family of three." Wen Yan sighed and said deliberately.
When the Liu family mentioned Liu Ruxing, they all sighed, but no one was willing to say more.
Wen Yan asked curiously: "I always feel that my second sister is in a bad mood, but what happened in her family?"
Zhang Gan's mother sighed deeply, tears welling up in her eyes: "Your second sister, she is afraid of bringing trouble to the family."
There is indeed something behind this.
Then, she listened to Zhang Gan'niang telling the story of Liu Ruxing.
