It's unusual for a farmer to have a girl

Chapter 53

As for Erwang and Xiaodao...

Song looked at her eccentric niece, but couldn't remember what Xiaodao looked like back then.

I just remember that the child was very timid, with his head lowered and his body curled up every day, like a stray cat that was about to die.

At that time, I still thought that Li's younger brother and sister were stupider than himself, and they couldn't support their youngest son, and they couldn't even support a girl.

Song's face suddenly darkened, and she said coldly: "She has bad intentions, and she sent the flower cloth in order to get some children's ideas, so, second brother, you go back, we don't want it."

Li Benshan looked at his daughter-in-law in embarrassment.

Ever since he made his sister-in-law angry and cried, he has been very careful in front of her.Don't dare to speak nonsense to provoke her.

But sister-in-law is too careful, right?

Is it possible to really break up with the old house?

But that was his own father, Dazhu's own grandfather, can this be broken?
Even though she is a step-grandmother, if she sends a few pieces of floral cloth, there won't be any conspiracy, right?

Besides, after he brought them all and sent them back, father should say that he only listens to women and is no longer a man.

Li received her man's hint, she looked at the flower cloth, hesitated and said:
"It's rare for them to bleed once, so let's take it away. Maybe you still want to use a few pieces of cloth to coax the children away?"

What the daughter-in-law said made Li Benshan suddenly excited.

When Dad gave the flower cloth, he said that the younger sister was going to school in Fucheng, and he wanted Damai to keep her company.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that his father was just talking casually.

But now, after hearing what his wife said, he suddenly felt that his father might not be joking.

However, with my sister-in-law around, even if my father wanted to coax him away, he couldn't do anything.

Li Benshan looked at the floral cloth and felt uncomfortable.

Li Benshan didn't want to doubt his own father, but he could think of his father's contradictory words these days.

He also knew that these were all the ideas of the stepmother, without the nod of the stepmother, father would not dare to make his own decisions.

It seems that his father's kindness and son's filial piety seem to be ruined again.

Li Benshan did not give up and asked: "Father wants Damai and little sister to be companions, is it for Damai?"

Song raised her head suddenly, "He is delusional!"

Sure enough, it was the idea of ​​​​making barley.

In this life, with her mother around, no one would want to harm Damai.

Mrs. Li also frowned, "What does our father mean? Let Damai go to be a maid for the little sister?"

Li Benshan looked at his sister-in-law's decisive expression, and then at his daughter-in-law's suspicious gaze.

He murmured softly: "Why do you think so, don't you bring barley to enjoy the blessings and see the world?"

Song looked at Li Benshan disappointedly, but said nothing.

Li Shi asked back: "Do you believe it?"

Li Benshan's scalp tingles at the sight of his sister-in-law.He knelt down weakly, hugged his head and said in his heart: "I don't believe it either!"

But he wished it was true.

Li Benshan scratched his hair, as if he wanted to get rid of his troubles.

He stood up abruptly, wrapped the calico cloth again, put it under his arm, bowed his head and went out.

The main house of the old house.

Li Benshan looked at the small cloth bag on the table, and said displeasedly: "What does this mean?"

Li Benshan smiled shyly, "Father, the children are at home, they can wear whatever they want, this floral cloth is suitable for my little sister."

"Her aunt bought it for her aunt's wishes. Why don't the girls appreciate it?"

Old man Li's face turned dark, and Li Benshan quickly smoothed things over.

"No, they are very happy. They just think that my aunt is studying in Fucheng, so she can use this fine floral cloth."

Only then did Old Man Li smile and said: "It's nothing, your sister is very capable. She goes to a girls' school and doesn't spend the family's money. People take care of food and clothing."

Li Benshan asked curiously: "What? You don't need to pay Shuxiu? Didn't the third brother say that female school Shuxiu is very expensive?"

The old man Li showed a proud smile, and explained: "It's very expensive, and most people can't afford it."

"However, your sister is the biggest official in Fucheng, recommended by the son of the prefect's family, and the female school is exempted from Shuxiu."

"And your sister is lucky, the female student at the same table is actually the daughter of your mother's sister's family."

The Zhao family was a concubine, and was expelled by the family, so she almost cut off contact with her natal family for so many years.

She has two older sisters.

That female classmate is the daughter of Zhao's second sister's family.

That day, the girl took her female classmates back to the courtyard they rented in Fucheng, and met Mrs. Zhao.

After a few words, I realized that they were still relatives.

Old man Li said excitedly: "Your sister and third brother are both good."

The second sister of the Zhao family knew that Li Xiangyuan had fallen into the eyes of the magistrate, and Li Xiangjin came to Fucheng to rush for the exam.

The next day, I went to visit Zhao's concubine sister.

The two sisters recognized their relatives, and after a while of tears, they talked about their natal family.

Zhao's natal family is a big family in Shangling County. Although her natal family can't go back, her brothers and sisters still miss them.

So the uncle bought a house for him, and the second sister-in-law bought furniture for him.The magistrate also asked the siblings to go out every now and then.

The main thing is to ask the girl, but the girl is sensible and always takes her brother with her.

When old man Li talked about his daughter, his eyes were full of tenderness and pride.Li Benshan's eyes were hot and jealous.

Old man Li continued to show off.

The magistrate gave more than ten sets of clothes for my daughter.

Now the Li family is not the former Li family.Where do you still care about a few pieces of calico?

Old man Li signaled Li Benshan to take the cloth back.

And reprimanded: "What do you look like when you take it? Petty."

Li Benshan was shocked, his father hadn't said so much in the past few days, if he hadn't returned the flower cloth, he didn't know that his father also built a house in Fucheng.

He is not envious, but a little sad.

Dad didn't even think about telling him about such a big matter.

That's right, he's just useless, so what's the use of talking?
Maybe I am afraid that I will stick to it, and I will benefit from it!

Old man Li didn't expect that his showing off did not make his son obey, but made his son feel dissatisfied.

Li Benshan lowered his head, did not go to get the cloth bag, but asked: "Is it serious for Dad to tell Damai to go to Fucheng?"

Old Man Li smiled and said, "Can I still lie to you?"

Li Benshan lowered his head and asked, "Won't Father discuss it with Mother?"

Old man Li said: "What are you discussing? This was originally proposed by your mother and your sister."

As he said that, the old man Li patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, your mother and your sister are good friends."

"They feel that Damai is not young anymore, so they will learn more from the head of Fucheng, train her for two years, and find her a good husband's house. Isn't it better than living in this poor mountain valley for the rest of your life?"

Mr. Li has a strong focus on Chinese.

"It's not that I'm partial to them, no, they're just passing through a little bit, and they only think about your two rooms. You can be satisfied!"

Li Benshan smiled, raised his head and asked, "Father, what did Damai go to do? What kind of training method? Could it be to be a maid for the younger sister?"

Old man Li frowned, and said displeasedly: "What are you talking about? Your sister has a maid, so she needs barley?"

The two maids of my own daughter were sent by your son, and they are both educated and courteous, much better than Damai.

What is barley?
A village girl who can't read big characters, is a maidservant for her daughter, is she worthy?
After all, it was his eldest granddaughter, old man Li didn't want to say bad things.

He said angrily, "Don't be ignorant of good and bad, and take people's kindness as the liver and lungs of a donkey."

Li Benshan took a look and sat in the back room without saying a word, but from time to time he looked at their stepmother Zhao.

Although he was greedy for his father's love, he was not foolish enough to believe that his stepmother had good intentions for them.
