Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 96 New Year's Eve (12)

"Just don't blame sister-in-law for her stupid mouth. Hurry up and go into the house. Minglan and Mingyue, you quickly brought your younger brothers and sisters here too. Your cousin Wenhui has been talking about you all morning."

Mrs. Wang greeted Li Minglan a few times, talked and laughed, and dragged Mrs. Liu into the courtyard. Li Shou followed closely with big and small bags of New Year gifts in his hand.

"Eh."

Li Mingyue responded, but followed slowly, looking at the Liu family's yard curiously.

Although the Liu family's yard is not big, it is clean and tidy. There are three persimmon trees on the east side of the yard, and there are a few fiery red persimmons hanging here and there.

In the middle of the courtyard are four simple adobe houses, dusty and dilapidated. These houses are old and incomparable to the Li family's blue-brick and large tile-roofed houses.Hanging from the eaves are bunches of golden corn and blue-gray dried lentils.

Li Mingyue wandered around in the yard. Li Minglan didn't see her enter the house for a long time, and then came out and called her: "Aren't you cold outside? Why are you in a daze."

The two sisters brought each other into the main room, and there were already many people sitting on the kang. Li Mingxiang and Li Mingxiu, two live treasures, made old man Liu laugh out loud.

The Liu family has a simple population. The old man Liu has only two sons and a daughter. The daughter is the Liu family who married into the Li family. The two sons have also married wives and had children.The whole family lives on ten acres of land. Although the life is simple and poor, it is also beautiful, and there are not as many bad things as the Li family.

Wang's daughter Liu Wenhui greeted Minglan and the others to get on the kang, and the girls were sitting together playing with ropes.Old man Liu kindly asked Li Shou about the recent situation of his family, and Li Shou honestly agreed to them one by one, but the younger ones in the Ming and Qing Dynasties often made trouble around, and Weng and his son-in-law didn't say a few words.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Mrs. Liu went to the kitchen to help.Mrs. Wang was just taking a sausage and putting it on the chopping board. She didn't know what to do. Seeing Mrs. Liu coming, she quickly asked, "Sister, you came just in time. What is this thing? I smell strange, it's I don't know what to do."

"This is something that Yue'er and the others fiddled with. It's called sausage. Just put it under the steamer. After it's steamed, take it out and eat it."

Mrs. Liu has been eating well and sleeping well recently, her complexion is much better than before, and her face is not as haggard as before. Mrs. Wang couldn't help teasing her: "Sister, I see that your days are getting better and better. .”

Grandma Liu also whispered: "The old lady of the Li family doesn't care about you anymore? Why did you ask you to bring these things? I saw that you gave Wenhui a lot of new year's money just now. Where did you get it?"

Mrs. Liu didn't hide it, and told them all the things of the past few months. In the end, she lowered her voice and said, "Mother, after the new year, we want to separate out and live alone."

Wang exclaimed: "What?! You want to separate?!"

No wonder Mrs. Wang was too surprised. Mrs. Liu has a gentle and submissive personality. After being married to Li's family for so many years, she has been wronged and suffered so much, but she has always been submissive. I don't see her come to her mother's house to cry once.

Some things, their natal family only knew about it from people outside. They have survived for more than ten years. Why are they thinking of breaking up at this time?

Grandma Liu gave Wang a warning look, before she said to Liu: "This is not a trivial matter, have you thought it through?"

Mrs. Liu nodded firmly: "Mother, for my children, I have to stand up too."

Grandma Liu patted Mrs. Liu's hand in relief, and sighed: "Okay, it's best if you can think clearly for yourself. I persuaded you a few years ago, and you will not listen to me. The meat grows, and I have suffered so many years for no reason."

After a pause, she continued: "But don't be in a hurry about this matter, it's going to be after the fifteenth day, and I'll talk it over with your father later, and see what we can do to help."
