Chapter 18

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter. After all, whether it is grandma or grandma, it is for their own children.I am afraid that the only ones who are really at fault are the uncle's family. Regardless of the future of the younger sister, not only will they not give the slightest dowry, but they will shamelessly ignoring the dowry.

This kind of person is really as thick-skinned as a city wall.

Mo Qianrui's look of disdain fell into A Niang's eyes, and she immediately received another pat.A Niang glared at her angrily: "You are so cunning at a young age, and you don't know what you will be when you grow up! Tell me, what do you want to do after telling your father about these things?"

been seen through!

"Aniang, I don't want to do anything, I just want to know more things so that I won't be deceived in the future." Mo Qianrui took Aniang's hand and acted coquettishly. , also stuck to it.

A Niang was so tormented by her two daughters that she couldn't help it, and she didn't bother to worry about these things.In her opinion, it's not a bad thing to be more thoughtful, but there is still something to be warned: "Big girl, don't worry about your other affairs, just remember one sentence. Don't deceive others, you will be deceived by others." People bully!"

"Yeah, I remember." Isn't it just not to treat others as fools?God knows if others will secretly laugh at you when you treat them as fools.

Seeing that Mo Qianrui had a good attitude, A Niang let her go. As for Erya, she is still too young now, and needs to be older to understand right and wrong.

After A Niang finished speaking, she went back to cook, but the second girl insisted on dragging Mo Qianrui into the kitchen, Mo Qianrui followed helplessly, and the rest of the father was fine, watching It was still early, so I was chopping firewood in the yard.

Erya was obsessed with thinking about the rice bowl in the morning, especially with more than half of her share left, so she yelled that she should not eat porridge.Seeing this, Mo Qianrui simply made a new copy after obtaining A Niang's consent.Of course, Erya still ate the original, anyway, she didn't mind eating her own leftovers at all.

I enjoyed the meal, but it was Aniang who was so distressed.

In the past, meals at home were very simple.Dried rice in the morning and porridge in the evening.At most, add a side dish to accompany the meal, let alone oil, even salt.This is mainly because oil and salt are too expensive, or for A Niang, things that need to be bought with money can be saved if they can be saved.

After dinner, the family didn't go out for a stroll, but enjoyed the cool in the sunbathing.Er Ya looked at the brood of little chickens eagerly, wishing that the little chickens would immediately become hens that could lay eggs.

Putting this aside, even if the eggs at home need to be replaced with salt, there are always a handful left occasionally.Most of the delicious food at home is for Mo Qianrui and the sisters, Erya can still eat a bite of eggs every now and then.But ever since the chicken thief came to patronize that day, Erya was very sad.Although she is young, she is not stupid. Knowing that there will be no more eggs after the hen is gone, and seeing A Niang so sad, she feels uncomfortable.

Until yesterday, when Mo Qianrui and Dad came back from the market, they not only bought chicks, but also doubled the number, which made Erya very happy.

"Look at Erya looking so greedy, she really wants to eat the chicken!" A Niang tidied up the kitchen, and when she turned around, Erya looked like she wanted to bury herself in a wide-mouthed bamboo basket. It's angry and funny, but more of it is distressed.

If it weren't for the family's panic of being poor, the child wouldn't be so greedy.

Dad didn't think too much about it, he glanced at Erya, then raised his eyes to A Niang: "Has the granary been cleaned up? I'm going to get some straw today, and make a comfortable nest for the chickens later. By the way, If there is a lot of straw, I will also replace it with the big girl, the straw under her mattress is from last year."

Mo Qianrui just took a spoonful of water to drink from the water ladle, and immediately spit it out after hearing what Dad said.

What is this called?Make a nest for the chickens, and make a bed for her if there are more?

"That's right, I'll go right away." A Niang didn't think there was any problem with her words, and immediately left for the granary.After laying the nest for the little chick, Zhenzhen entered her house with the straw in her arms.

Mo Qianrui held his breath, but couldn't speak, so he could only pour cold water into his stomach.

"Girl, drink less cold water, and be careful of stomach upset in the middle of the night."

Mo Qianrui didn't take Dad's words seriously at first, but before midnight, she started to have a stomachache.She ran back and forth into the latrine, but fortunately the moonlight was bright in the summer night, so she wouldn't fall into the latrine.However, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes this summer. I didn't feel much in my own room before, but the mosquitoes in this latrine are simply clustered together.

After squatting in the latrine once, Mo Qianrui would have at least seven or eight big bumps on his body.After running seven or eight times overnight, Mo Qianrui suddenly felt that she was so stupid, as if she came here specially to deliver supper to mosquitoes!
When it was daylight, the stomach finally subsided, and Mo Qianrui fell headfirst on the bed, unable to move.

The most pitiful thing was Erya, she anxiously ran to Mo Qianrui's room to sleep with her, but the result was good, after a whole night of tossing, Erya didn't even sleep well.A Niang got up and saw this, so she had to tell the two sisters to stay at home honestly, anyway, they don't need to do the work in the field, and Mo Qianrui can cook again, so my father and mother are very relieved to go out to work .

Sleeping in a daze until almost noon, Mo Qianrui suddenly heard a commotion, and was startled awake.

I got up and sat on the bed for a while, and listened carefully to the movement outside, only to realize that it wasn't coming from my own yard, but from someone next door.

next door?Could it be that something happened to the Li family?
After pushing Er Ya to wake up, the sisters got dressed, washed their faces in a hurry, ran outside without even eating.Sure enough, the Li family was making trouble, but it wasn't an accident, but a happy event.A group of people carried a lot of picks into the door of Li's house, all of which were full of good things.

On the first pick are some exquisite and delicious pastries, followed by two picks of brightly colored cloth, and then there are no picks, but two big fat pigs that have already been packed, and the last one is a box held in one’s arms , the lid is open, and you can clearly see that there is a box of copper coins slowly inside.

Copper money is different from iron money. The barbecue stall Mo Qianrui set up earlier charged big iron money.The face value of big iron coins is one penny, while copper coins are worth ten.

In other words, one copper coin can be exchanged for ten large iron coins.

A box full of copper coins is really heavy, and it is estimated that there are at least a few thousand coins. This is dozens of big iron coins!

"Sister, what are they doing?" Erya rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking blankly at the situation in front of her.She was small and short, so she didn't see the contents of those pick boxes, but even if she did, she didn't know what happened.

Mo Qianrui looked at it for a while, and then slowly understood: "This is a betrothal gift, right? Looking at the situation, it should be, but I don't know whether it is for Meiniang or Liniang."

"It must be for Meiniang." Hearing that it was a betrothal gift, Er Ya immediately got excited and replied subconsciously, but then stared at the crowd eagerly.

"Huh? How did you know?" Tilting his head to recall, Mo Qianrui didn't remember that the Li family had revealed the marriage.Of course, it is also possible that the original owner did not pay much attention to these matters.After all, Meiniang and Liniang are both 15 years old, so it is not surprising that they are engaged.

Erya gave Mo Qianrui a strange look, and said, "Because Meiniang is the elder sister, elder sister must have married earlier than younger sister."

Mo Qianrui slapped her forehead, how could she forget this?In the previous life, it was all about free love, and no family cared about who the siblings got married first, but in this era, it was all ordered by the parents and the matchmaker, so naturally the elder sister would marry earlier than the younger sister.

 There will be updates in the next few days, and we will strive for three updates tomorrow
