Today Zhao Ruxin wore a goose yellow cotton skirt embroidered with pink flowers. The color was as bright and beautiful as the wild flowers on the mountains in spring. She saw that the collar was embroidered with a circle of delicate white circles, like stars.
She walked from the mule cart to the main room. Her skirt swayed gently along the way, highlighting her gentleness and tranquility.
Her skin, due to years of care, is fair and smooth. She looked at her hands, which had become increasingly rough from working, and then she touched her face. She had become quite a bit darker recently.
Li stopped what she was doing and looked at her daughter with a hint of helplessness and heartache in her eyes. She sighed softly, "Mother knows you haven't been well lately, but no matter how upset you are, don't get angry with your cousin or throw a tantrum.
Your uncle is going to take the exam soon, and if he passes he will be able to become an official. When he becomes an official, you will be the second daughter of the Zhao family, and you won’t have to do any work from then on. Buy a maid to serve you, and ask your uncle to help you find a suitable family. From now on, you can just wait for food and clothing to be provided for you and live a comfortable life for the rest of your life. ”
Zhao Laidie's little eyes blinked, sparkling with excitement. When mother talked about the life she wanted to live just now, she meant the life she wanted to live.
"Mom, when uncle becomes an official, can we really enjoy the good life with him?" She felt that her uncle's family didn't seem to be very close to them, especially her cousins, who always held their chins high and looked very arrogant, as if they looked down on her family.
"Of course, we have supported your uncle for so many years. He will definitely not abandon us now that he has made it. But remember, don't quarrel with them. If you are unhappy, just be patient.
"I see."
Li looked at her eldest daughter with satisfaction. She would definitely let her daughter marry into a wealthy family in the future. By then, even if she doesn't rely on her elder brother, she can still live a good life by relying on her daughter.
"Da Wen, come here, eat chicken legs!" Both legs fell into the boss's bowl.
Li paused while holding the bowl, she endured it.
The chicken wings belonged to the old couple, and they divided them one by one, and no one got two pieces of meat.
"Mom, where is the third child?" It was strange, why didn't I see their family since I came here? In the past, when we ate chicken, my third brother was the one who made the most noise just to get a piece of meat.
"As for him, the family has split up and he's now living in Liu Shunzi's house next door." The old woman said indifferently. What a heartless person! Ever since we separated, I have never visited them even once even though we are so close.
"Divide the family, when and why do we have to divide the family?" Boss Zhao was shocked. Why do we have to divide the family? Wouldn’t it be okay to leave the third brother’s family at home to work?
Old Mrs. Sun began to talk to Boss Zhao about what happened before and after the family split. She got so excited that saliva flew everywhere, and Boss Zhao felt a little uncomfortable. Wang lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in them. Zhao Ruxin put down her bowl and chopsticks, unable to eat anymore.
"Mom, is what you said real?"
"My dear, if you don't believe me, ask your father and the second brother. Anyway, the third brother has grown up independently and has lost his conscience. After the family split up, he lives a comfortable life next door." When she said this, she felt angry and her teeth itched because they lived close to each other. Since the family split up, she could often smell the aroma of meat coming from next door. Since Xiang came, she often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Boss Zhao's eyes rolled around, "What the hell? I didn't ask for anything, but my third brother agreed to split the family business?"
"right!"
"After the family split up, he followed Liu Shunzi next door to collect bamboo shoots and became rich?"
"yes!"
He didn't know whether he was rich or not, he guessed that he was just a helper, but he lived a good life and it was true that he was eating and drinking well in the next door house.
