Chapter 230 Three pairs of twins
"How could that be? My wife has the final say. I don't have that kind of male chauvinism. He should be taught a lesson. How can he treat his wife as a servant? This kind of thinking will cause problems for them sooner or later. It's better to solve it early. If there are problems when they have children in the future, the children and women will be the most pitiful. Wife, I support you."
"Humph, didn't he teach you not to spoil me? Why didn't you listen?"
"Am I stupid? Aren't wives meant to be pampered? Hehe! You pamper me the same way. Let's ignore them and just live our own lives. Don't get angry about those things."
"Let me tell you, your brother is really not a man. He actually asked my sister to boil water for him to wash in the middle of the night. How could he have the nerve to do that? Is this what we talked about in our previous lives, that he would not recognize people once he puts up his pants? Right?"
Ziyi was dumbfounded. For a man to be as bad as Ma Youcai, well, it was no wonder that Yike was so angry. My sister has been wronged, and it is a grievance that I cannot express. Anyone would be angry.
At around ten o'clock, Ma Youcai brought back six cousins. These six cousins are the eldest and second oldest daughters of Ma Youcai’s three uncles. They are all twins and look like their grandmother, so they all look almost the same, except for their heights and ages. The names of these three girls are not very good. They are called Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu, Si Niu, Wu Niu and Liu Niu. But the appearance is very attractive. They all have almost the same face, an oval face; but they are too thin, making the "oval" face look too small; they have big eyes, and the black eyeballs are like two black gems deeply embedded in the eye sockets. The bridge of the nose is really high, which is rare in this era. If it were in the previous life, one would definitely think that they had undergone cosmetic surgery. It is a pity that these faces are all pale and thin. If the skin was whiter and there was a little more flesh on the face, they would be real beauties. These six beauties look so similar.
One thing people always say is 70% appearance and 30% mood. These six people have beautiful faces, but they have become like this due to starvation. Isn't this a waste of a good thing?
Yike couldn't help it, she said to the six faces: "Remember, after you follow me, you must eat more, eat more, this is your first priority when you follow me."
The six girls looked at each other, not knowing what Yi Ke meant, and looked at him blankly. Although my cousin said that they would follow this girl named Yike to work in the future, and said that she was my cousin's sister-in-law's family girl, but how can eating more be considered work? Is this girl mentally ill?
When the six girls thought of this, their eyes changed and they all took a step back.
Yike smiled secretly in his heart, he knew what they were thinking, haha, it would be fun to tease them.
"Sister Yike, are they okay?" Ma Youcai asked nervously.
Before today, he could be sure that Yike would agree. But since this morning, Yike has been treating him with all her eyes and nose. He doesn't know what he has done to offend her, so now he can only be careful.
"It's okay, but she's too thin." Yi Ke said deliberately with a look of disgust.
"We are really capable of working," the oldest girl quickly expressed.
"Oh, I'm not just saying this. If I can't do it, I'll send you back."
"We can do it, we can do it. We are not lazy, and we don't eat much."
"You don't eat much? Forget it. What else can you do if you can't eat much?" Yi Ke said deliberately.
The other girls glared at the older sister who was speaking and quickly explained, "My sister is afraid that you will dislike us for eating too much. It's not that we can't eat, it's that there is nothing to eat at home."
"Oh, so that's it. Then you better listen carefully. When you go to my place, you must eat as much as you can. Only when you grow strong will you have the strength to work."
The six sisters now really understood what Yi Ke meant, and they happily hugged each other and cried and laughed. Yike felt very sad in her heart. The reason why she said so much was that she wanted the girls to not be too restrained when getting along with them in the future, and she wanted the girls to feel at ease to follow them.
"Look, Brother Youcai, I like all six of them. No matter what job they do, I will give them 30 yuan a month. If they do well in the future, I will increase their salary. Give them this month's salary first, and you can take it back to their parents."
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
…
The six sisters all thanked him gratefully. The salary for six people was 180 yuan, which was a huge sum of money in their family. Their family used the money to buy food, enough to last until the New Year. Their younger brothers and sisters could also go to school, and the whole family could buy cloth and cotton to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers. (In those days, the tuition for the first grade was only 80 cents, the price of rice was about 16 cents per pound, corn was 10 cents per pound, and pork was 60 cents per pound. The average city worker made about 30 yuan a month.)
The sisters cried with joy, and their elder sister Han Guihua also showed an envious look. In the past, when Yi Ke and I were suffering at home, we also wanted someone to help us.
"Well, what should I envy? I am following my sister to the mountains now, and I am living a happy life there. Although I have lost my parents and brothers, I have a sister and can live with her again. I am happier than them. What should I envy about them?" Thinking of this, Han Guihua became more determined to follow her sister to live in the mountains.
"Wife, come with me, I have something to tell you." Ma Youcai went to Han Guihua and Han Jing's room to talk in private, and then asked the six girls to help set the table. After eating, they set out into the mountains and tried to reach the first accommodation before dark. (A small hut, a temporary settlement for hunters.)
"What's the matter?" Han Guihua asked as soon as she entered the room.
"It's like this. My cousins are going to live in the mountains for half a year. They don't have winter quilts and cotton clothes, so I thought of giving them my old quilt. Also, choose a darker piece of your dowry cloth and give it to them. I will buy you a new one when I go to the city. You can see if there is any piece of cloth you don't like and pick it out and pack it together for me." Ma Youcai said as he took out an old quilt from the cupboard. In fact, compared with other people's homes, this quilt is not old at all, it's just used as a cover.
Now they were sleeping on Han Guihua's bridal quilt, so the quilt that Ma Youcai used to sleep on was put into the cabinet. Han Guihua didn't object to him giving it away, after all, she had it too. Besides, his uncles were really good to Ma Youcai, and it was understandable that he wanted to take care of them. However, her dowry was different. It wasn't about how valuable it was, but the main thing was that it had a different meaning.
