Chapter 132 New Skills
"My in-laws are too kind to me. How can we afford tuition with our family's financial situation?" Luo Qiuyue brought a chair and sat down next to Youshi. "Heihe Village found a homeless teacher a while ago, and the children don't have to pay tuition to go to school."
After hearing this, You slapped her thigh. "You guys in Heihe Village are so lucky! You picked up what the master said you would. When Yunniang married into Heihe Village, the people in our village said terrible things about her. They said Heihe Village was poor and that your family didn't have a betrothal gift. How did I respond? I said Yunniang was blessed and that she would be fine no matter where she married! Look, I was right. Isn't Yunniang living a good life now?"
Luo Qiuyue sighed, "How can there be a good life? That's something outsiders can't understand. I have nothing to hide. Isn't everyone's house a shiny horse manure with a bag of chaff inside? I was planning to have Yunniang go back to her parents' home in the next few days, but I didn't expect you all to come. It would save a lot of trouble."
"My dear in-laws!" Luo Qiuyue suddenly grasped Youshi's hand tightly, "Can you lend us some money?"
Yushi: "Ah?"
Luo Qiuyue bit her lower lip. "I used to have some dignity, but now I can't care about it. We really can't make ends meet at home. Since you care about Yunniang so much, please lend us a hand and save us! We really can't find anyone who can help us!"
Yu opened her mouth: "..."
no.
How can this woman be so shameless?
They are guests visiting relatives today. How can the host ask them to borrow money before they even sit down?
Besides, this woman said what she was about to say first, so how could she continue speaking?
"This is impossible! Your family built a big house!" said Qian, Hu Da's wife.
"It's better not to talk about that house, but it makes me angry when I talk about it." Luo Qiuyue's face fell. "A few months ago, Yan Ping got lucky and hunted a tiger. He wanted to build a house, but ended up expanding the business. Now the bed is sandwiched between our buttocks. I can't express my suffering! You must be sent by God to help us!"
"How can we help? We came here today to..."
Before Youshi could finish her words, she was interrupted by a baby crying sound.
"Wuuuuu..." The little girl opened her mouth and tears streamed down her face.
Luo Qiuyue was just wondering when she saw the little girl pull out a broken bowl from somewhere, staggering over to Youshi with the bowl in her hand, and said pitifully:
"Oh, oh, I have seven coins to exchange for! I pity you so much!"
You was stunned. "My dear, you..."
At this moment, a tinkling sound came from the door.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu were holding a broken basin, followed by Hei Guo and Xi Gou.
Several people walked up to Youshi and the others, knocking on the drums and chanting something, and circled around them.
Xiaowen: "The broken gong rings like a jingle bell~"
Xiao Wu: "Congratulations on your prosperity and good health~"
Thin Dog: "Today we are here to ask you for help~"
Black Pot: "I hope you are generous~"
Yu Shi couldn't sit still any longer, "What are you doing..."
Tietou held her down and said, "Don't be so hard-hearted~"
Big Nose: "How can I not help at all~"
Jinbao: "Don't wait until you close your eyes~"
Yinbao: "I will meet the King of Hell empty-handed!"
The little dumpling banged on the broken bowl and stamped his feet: "Hey! See - Yan - Woof~~"
Yu Shi was so angry that her face turned green. She stood up suddenly and said, "My dear relative, what do you mean by this? Is this the way the Ye family treats guests?"
Luo Qiuyue's face was filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We can't make ends meet anymore, can we? I just let the kids learn an extra skill! What do you think of their performance just now? Does it make you want to give them a few copper coins?"
Yu Shi's breath got stuck in her throat. "Ridiculous! Ridiculous...Ridiculous!"
"It's time to eat, everyone come and have dinner!" Yunniang called out from outside the door.
Yu Shi stopped pretending and stood up angrily, "Big brother, second brother, let's go eat. Our family can still eat the food cooked by Yunniang!"
Several people came to the kitchen.
There were several bowls of porridge and a small plate of pickles on the dining table.
"Wan Niang, big brother, big sister-in-law, little brother, come and sit down." Yun Niang wiped the chair with a rag. "This is all we have at home, so you can make do with what you have!"
“Eat quickly!”
Yu gave her two sons a look, and after they sat down, they lowered their heads and drank loudly.
When I looked up again, I found three more dolls around me.
"Okay?" The little girl stared at their bowls, smacked her lips, and drooled.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu: "Grandma, please speak. Is it delicious?"
Yu Shi had no time to talk.
He finished a bowl of porridge in a few gulps and handed the bowl over, "Yunniang, another bowl!"
"It's all here." Yunniang brought the pot up. "My mother-in-law said that since you've come so hard, we'll make sure you have enough to eat even if we go hungry ourselves."
The You family and their companions were not polite at all. They ate the whole pot of porridge one bowl at a time.
At this time, Ye Yanping came back from the town, and You's eyes lit up.
I originally planned to come to the Ye family to get some money, but now it is not easy to ask for it, so I can only find another way.
"Yan Ping, Yun Niang, what I'm going to say next requires the presence of your village chief."
"Mother-in-law, what do you want to say?" Ye Yanping asked in surprise.
"Call the village head and you'll find out."
Ye Yanping was confused, but still went to find the village head.
Several people sat down in the main room.
The villagers of Heihe Village had a vague feeling that Yunniang's family was going to cause trouble, so they all listened outside the fence.
"Yan Ping, do you still remember what you said when you married Yun Niang?"
As soon as Youshi said this, Yunniang's face changed.
Ye Yanping scratched his head and looked at Yunniang in confusion, "Please remind me, mother-in-law."
"You said at the time that although your family was poor, you would definitely treat Yunniang well and treat her parents as your own. Do you still remember?"
"I remember." Ye Yanping nodded. "It's a pity that my father-in-law passed away last year. I won't have the chance to fulfill my filial duty in the future."
"What do you mean by 'no chance, Li Zheng,' Brother? Look at that kid Yan Ping, what kind of words are he talking about?" Yu Shi stood up excitedly. "Am I not Yun Niang's mother? As a son-in-law, shouldn't you be filial to me?"
"What kind of mother are you?" Yunniang said angrily, "Did you give birth to me? Did you raise me? Why do you expect Yanping to be filial to you?"
Yu Shi blinked and tears immediately fell. "Brother Lizheng, how could Yunniang say such heartless words? When I entered her house, she was only ten years old, but she didn't get married until she was fifteen. Wasn't it me, the stepmother, who raised her for these five years? They say it's hard to be a stepmother, but it's really heartbreaking!"
