Chapter 21 The villagers’ intentions
"Sanlang's wife is out. Are you tired of embroidering? Come over and have a rest." A slender-faced woman in her thirties waved to Zhou Ran with a smile on her face. Those who didn't know thought she was with Zhou Ran. Zhou Ran is so close to her, but God knows Zhou Ran has never seen her before.

Zhou Ran looked towards Zhang.

Zhang introduced Zhou Ran lukewarmly: "This is your Aunt Wu."

Judging from Zhang's attitude, Zhou Ran knew that the relationship between the two families should be normal, so Zhou Ran just nodded politely to the woman and called "Aunt Wu." He did not go over and sit down as the woman said, but He said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mom, you guys chat, I'll continue my work." Then he went back to the house.

Mrs. Zhang also wanted Zhou Ran to avoid these people, so she nodded and said, "Well, go ahead. Remember to take a break after being busy for a while."

"Got it, mother."

Seeing Zhou Ran leave, Mrs. Wu could only continue chatting with Mrs. Zhang. She tried several times to try to get Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu to talk, but Aunt Liu and Aunt Hua refused to answer.

Wu had no choice but to say directly: "Her aunt, actually we came to you today because we have something to ask of you."

Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "We are all neighbors. It doesn't matter whether you ask for it or not. If there is really something I can do to help, I will definitely help. But if I really can't help you, don't blame me."

"I'm sure you can help with this matter." Mrs. Wu said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to ask your third daughter-in-law to teach my second daughter-in-law her embroidery skills."

In addition to Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu, others also spoke one after another, either to give advice to their daughter-in-law, or to teach their daughter.

Mrs. Zhang listened quietly, shook her head and said: "I really can't help you with this matter. A'ran just took on a big job recently. She is so busy that she can't even take care of food. How can she have time to give advice?" Someone else?"

"It doesn't take her much time, it's just a matter of opening her mouth." A woman said unwillingly.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the speaker and said, "You said it's easy to open your mouth. If it were so simple, would my eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law have to work hard all day to set up a stall?"

The women looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.

Wu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law of the Ye family, since Sanlang's wife is busy right now, we definitely can't cause trouble to her, but after she finishes her work in a while, do you think you can ask her to give some advice in the village?" Daughters-in-law? We don’t require them to have the skills of Saburo’s wives, as long as they can embroider a handkerchief, exchange it for two coins, and occasionally subsidize the family income.”

Mrs. Zhang did not agree and only said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will talk to A'ran when she is finished."

Wu curled her lips and said, "You are the mother-in-law, how can she not listen to what you say?"

Mrs. Zhang said coldly: "Although I am a mother-in-law, my embroidery skills belong to Ah Ran."

"She has already married into your family, so what's the difference if she belongs to your family?" Wu felt that Zhang was just making excuses.

Mrs. Zhang said disdainfully: "I don't know what the rules are in your family, but our Ye family does not have the rules to take advantage of our daughter-in-law's abilities as our own."

Seeing that Ms. Zhang was angry, the other women were afraid that there would be no room for change if they continued talking, so they hurriedly said: "What Aunt Zhang said is right. We really need to ask Sanlang's wife's opinion on this matter. We'd better wait." Sanlang's wife will come back after a while when she is finished."

"Yes, yes, we'll come back later." Although Wu didn't want to let it go, she had no other choice but to leave with the others.

Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu did not move. After Mrs. Wu and the others left, Aunt Hua explained to Mrs. Zhang: "We didn't want to come to this matter today, but we were so annoyed by them that we had no choice but to go with them. Don’t misunderstand that we are the same as them.”

Aunt Liu also said: "Yes, this is the ability of Sanlang's wife to eat. We have never thought of it like this."

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at the two of them and said, "Don't I still know what kind of people you two are?"

Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu felt relieved after hearing this, and started joking with Mrs. Zhang again.

"I heard that Sanlang's wife bought you a few taels of silver for a bottle of face and hand grease. How does it feel to use the several taels of silver for face and hand grease?" Aunt Hua asked.

Ms. Zhang shook her head and said with helplessness on her face: "What does it feel like? It's a feeling of distress. She is a child who doesn't know how to feel sorry for her money. She earned a little money and lost it all in the blink of an eye. Not only did she buy the facial oil and hand oil , she actually bought clothes for me and her father, and she was very reasonable. She said that I should wear good clothes and use them after working hard for half my life. She was happy to spend money on me, but I couldn’t do anything to her. .”

Mrs. Zhang complained, but her face was full of smiles.

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "Stop showing off in front of us. Compared with your Sanlang and his wife, those two of mine are nothing but sticks."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Your eldest daughter-in-law has given birth to two fat grandsons for you. The second daughter-in-law is gentle and has just given you a little granddaughter. Now that you have both grandsons and granddaughters, what else are you not satisfied with?" of?"

Speaking of this, Ms. Zhang was really envious. She now has three daughters-in-law, but she has not seen any grandchildren or granddaughters.

Mrs. Chen has been married to the Ye family for four years, and she has never been happy. Mrs. Li was pregnant in February, but something happened to Sanlang at that time, and the family's thoughts were all on Sanlang. In addition, the He family came to cancel the engagement. , the whole house was in a mess, and if anyone didn't pay attention, the child in Li's belly could not be saved.

During those few months, one thing happened after another at home.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Hua obviously knew the pain in Mrs. Zhang's heart. They looked at each other, and Aunt Hua advised: "Don't be impatient. Erlang's wife has been healthy for almost half a year. Maybe this time next year you She can become a grandma. As for the wife of the elder man, have you ever asked her to see a doctor? Previously, a daughter-in-law in my natal village couldn’t get pregnant. I went to the Pingan Hall in the county to have a look, and after taking a few medicines, she immediately became pregnant. Got it."

Mrs. Zhang said: "How could you not have seen her? After seeing her, the doctor said she is in good health, has no problems, and does not need to take medicine."

"That means the fate has not arrived yet. When fate arrives, it will happen naturally. Don't be impatient." Aunt Liu advised.

"I hope so." Mrs. Zhang sighed, not wanting to mention it again, and turned to chat with Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu about other things.

After Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu left Ye's house, Mrs. Zhang went to Zhou Ran and their room to find Zhou Ran and talked about the reason why these women came to the house.

"Your second sister-in-law has no clue. I don't know who she told you about the money you earned from embroidery to buy gifts for your family members. Those people who came to your door today want you to teach their family members how to embroider."
