Chapter 179: Let’s Stop Dreaming
Shopkeeper Li sighed and poured out a bucket of cold water.
"Her mother, just give up on this idea!"
"The Su family is now getting more and more prosperous. Not only are they going to buy a house in town, they are also going to buy a shop."
"Our family's status is becoming less and less worthy of the Su family."
"As long as the Su family doesn't look down on their daughter for coming from a merchant family, we'll just pray for her."
"You're still thinking about changing the Su family's grandson's surname to Li? Forget it!"
"The Li family is destined to be extinct in my generation."
When Shopkeeper Li said this, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He wiped his face and continued, "I just hope that Chengyao will have a promising future and be able to get a government job. That way, when I'm in the underworld and meet the ancestors of the Li family, I can have an explanation."
"After all, even though I wiped out the Li family, I still have a grandson who became an official, right?"
When Hua saw the man like this, she felt a little sad.
However, I still don't give up.
So, an idea came to mind and he said, "If my daughter gives birth to a daughter, we can let her be surnamed Li, and marry her off to a man in the future to inherit the Li family's incense..."
The more Hua spoke, the brighter her eyes became.
The Su family can’t bear to give up their son, but they can at least be willing to give up their daughter, right?
Anyway, my daughter will get married sooner or later, right?
Shopkeeper Li looked at Hua with an incredulous look and said, "Her mother, are you hysterical?"
Hua, “…”
What are you talking about?
Shopkeeper Li said, "Let's stop dreaming! My son-in-law's surname is Su. Haven't you heard how difficult it is for the Su family to have a daughter? It is said that it took the Su family several generations to have a daughter like this."
Hua, “…”
I opened my mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Li Shuying came back from picking up her son from the private school and just as she reached the door, she heard what her parents said.
I couldn't help but touch my belly, and a hint of loneliness flashed in my eyes.
Little Su Chengyao looked up at his mother, then pushed the door open and walked into the house. He looked at the Li couple and said in a childish voice, "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. I will study hard and become a high-ranking official in the future. I will ask for a rank for you."
When Shopkeeper Li heard this, tears filled his eyes with excitement.
You see, he knew that this grandson, no, now his grandson, was a man with great ambitions!
Woo woo... He was reluctant to return such a good child to the Su family. What should he do?
**
When Xiao Tangbao and others returned to Daliushu Village, it was almost time for dinner.
In the backyard, Old Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su were competing to clean the sheep pen.
"Mom, I'm really fine. Let me do it."
As Mrs. Su said this, she tried to snatch the broom from Old Lady Su's hand.
Old Madam Su's face darkened and she said, "My dear, the doctor told you not to overwork yourself and not to do heavy work. Have you forgotten?"
"But, mother, I'm not tired at all." said Mrs. Su.
She couldn't just stand there and watch her mother-in-law work, right?
"Even if you're not tired, go and rest!" Old Mrs. Su said without allowing any objection.
"Mom, I..."
Mrs. Su wanted to say something else, but Zhang Maiya came over quickly and snatched the broom from Mrs. Su's hand.
"Mom, sister-in-law, let me do it."
After saying that, he took the broom and went into the sheep pen.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Zhang Maiya's back and suddenly sighed.
Then, he looked at Mrs. Su and said, "Old lady, listen to mother. If you really don't want to go back to the house to rest, just feed the chickens or something. Don't do any heavy work."
"I understand, mother." Mrs. Su said quickly.
Qian Yuemei walked over with a handful of melon seeds in her hand.
While eating melon seeds, he asked, "Mom, why haven't Dad and the others come back yet? I'm hungry."
When Old Mrs. Su saw Qian Yuemei's appearance, she frowned.
If this second daughter-in-law is not disciplined, she might die if she gets pregnant.
"Second brother, you've been visiting for a long time and haven't done anything yet, and you're just crying out for hunger when you walk in. What kind of family rules are these?" Old Madam Su said sternly, "Do you think you're the young mistress of a wealthy family, and someone's there to serve you food and drink?"
Qian Yuemei's expression froze, and the melon seed shell was stuck in her mouth.
"Mom, I, I'm pregnant, aren't I?" Qian Yuemei said dryly.
Instinctively, she was frightened when Old Lady Su frowned.
After Qian Yuemei finished speaking, she secretly spat the melon seed shells into her hands and didn't dare to spit them anywhere else.
Old Madam Su looked at Qian Yuemei and asked, "Hasn't Mother ever been pregnant? Has she never given birth? Or have you given birth to more children than Mother?"
"Mom, what's the difference between this and this?"
"Why is it different?"
"I……"
Am I not the only one in the Su family who is pregnant?
Qian Yuemei thought so in her heart, but didn't dare say it out loud.
However, even if she didn't say it, Old Lady Su could see it.
So, he said, "Second brother, which woman in the village is pregnant? Shouldn't she do what she is supposed to do?"
"Mom doesn't expect you to do much work, but you still have to do what you can."
"It's impossible for anyone in our family to worship you as a young lady."
"If you're not convinced, go tell others that I, as a mother-in-law, treat my daughter-in-law harshly."
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, Qian Yuemei's inflated heart immediately deflated.
There was no way. She knew that her mother-in-law was the best to her daughter-in-law in the whole village.
If she dared to go out and say something bad about her mother-in-law, she would be laughed at for being ungrateful.
Moreover, if the Su family heard about it, I would be in big trouble.
"Mother, look at what you said. Everyone in the village knows that you are the mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law the most." Qian Yuemei said embarrassedly, "I just didn't feel well today, so I went back to my parents' house and lay down for a long time. I, I'll go feed the ducklings now..."
Qian Yuemei said this and walked quickly towards the duck pen.
At the same time, I was wondering why my sister-in-law and father-in-law haven't come back yet?
I don’t know how much silver the ginseng I brought was sold for?
When Qian Yuemei thought of the money, the unhappiness she felt at being scolded by her mother-in-law immediately disappeared.
I am also willing to feed the ducks.
After all, these ducks are raised by my sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law is the lucky charm of the family.
Digging ginseng is like digging radish.
When Qian Yuemei thought of this, her steps became much lighter.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Qian Yuemei's back and shook her head secretly.
This second daughter-in-law needs to be disciplined from time to time.
Qian Yuemei used clean water to mix some wild vegetables and wheat bran for the ducks, and then watched a group of ducklings scramble to eat the food, but a few big ones seemed to be disdainful.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself: This is definitely not a duck, it looks more like a goose.
However, the geese they used to raise were even more aggressive in snatching food...
Qian Yuemei muttered to herself, but kept an eye on Old Madam Su.
When he saw Old Mrs. Su go to the front yard, he immediately put down the stick in his hand and continued to eat melon seeds.
While knocking on the door, he watched Mrs. Su feed the chickens and pigs.
"Sister-in-law, mother is fine, why does she have to buy a house in town?"
Qian Yuemei cracked melon seeds while complaining.
"No one in our family is going to live in town, so the house will inevitably be given to the fourth brother's family at a lower price."
After hearing Qian Yuemei's words, Su Dasao said without raising her head, "Second sister-in-law, mother has her own reasons for doing things. Besides, it was my aunt who suggested buying a house in town."
"Little aunt, you're so young, what do you know?" Qian Yuemei said dissatisfiedly, "How can mother listen to little aunt about such an important matter?"
When Mrs. Su heard Qian Yuemei say this about her sister-in-law, she immediately became unhappy.
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with my aunt being young? Why can't you just listen to her? Don't forget, our family can have such a good life now, thanks to my aunt! Could it be that you keep saying that you want to worship my aunt and love her, but then forget about it?"
"Of course I didn't!" Qian Yuemei's heart skipped a beat, and she said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, I just said it casually. When it comes to family matters, of course you have to listen to my sister-in-law! You must listen... You must listen..."
At the end of her speech, Qian Yuemei looked at Mrs. Su with a flattering expression, fearing that Mrs. Su would complain to her.
Mrs. Su didn't bother to pay attention to Qian Yuemei.
Anyway, this second brother's wife always stirs up trouble.
Fortunately, no matter how much trouble they cause, it won’t get out of hand.
At this time, Siwa ran over.
"Mom, Grandpa and Auntie are back!" Siwa shouted happily, "Grandma said, let's eat..."
"My aunt is back?" Qian Yuemei was delighted. "Sister-in-law, let's go eat."
After saying that, he walked quickly to the front yard.
As for Zhang Maiya who was cleaning the sheep pen, Qian Yuemei didn't even look at him.
Now that Su Laoer is not at home, Qian Yuemei is less wary of Zhang Maila, but she still dislikes Zhang Maila.
Mrs. Su fed the pigs and closed the chicken coop, and Zhang Maiya also cleaned the sheep pen.
"Third sister-in-law, why do you look so bad?" Mrs. Su asked worriedly when she saw Zhang Maila's pale face.
Zhang Maiya's face showed a trace of panic, and he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. It's just that the weather has been hot these past few days, and I feel a little stuffy."
"Then drink more mung bean soup during the day. It can relieve the heat."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I understand."
Zhang Maiya looked at Mrs. Su gratefully, then quickly lowered his head.
