The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 13
"Yes." The mother-in-law had never been so affectionate to her before, and Chen was a little apprehensive, she didn't know where to put her hands, and kneaded the corners of her clothes desperately.Intuitively, she felt that her mother-in-law was abnormal.

"Daughter-in-law, Ruxian studied hard, and he is my only son. His father left early, so it was not easy for me to pull him up!" I understand the painstaking efforts of being a mother. Sometimes I can't help but favor him, you won't take it to your heart, will you?"

"What are you talking about, mother? He is also my husband!" Chen was very moved when she saw her mother-in-law who was usually cold-hearted and cold-hearted towards her. Thinking of coriander, she felt that being a mother is really not easy, and her eyes felt hot .

"You're right to think so!" The old lady patted the back of Chen's hand affectionately, and boasted: "Mother knows that you are a good wife of my Hai family!"

The old lady's boast made Mrs. Chen even more at a loss.

"Look, daughter-in-law, it's not easy for me to maintain this family. Ruxian needs money for studying, and the family also needs money." It's getting tighter day by day, you don't know how expensive firewood is if you are not in charge of the family!"

"Mother, I know, I'm also anxious, but I don't have any money!" Mrs. Chen argued anxiously.

"Mother knows, so Mother has thought of a way for you." The old lady rolled her eyes and persuaded: "The piece of cloth brought by your mother's house looks pretty good to me. It's still on hold. Why don't you give it to me?" If you go to the market to sell it, you can definitely sell it for a good price, so you can live well, right?"

Chen's heart was startled, it turned out that the old lady made such a big detour, and it was the cloth's idea.

"Mother, I want to save that piece of cloth for my baby to tear a few clothes. Even if I don't wear it myself, the coriander will look too big. I want to save this piece of cloth to cut some small clothes for her." Chen said Heartbroken, he lowered his head and said.

"That big kid, what clothes are you in a hurry to cut?!" The old lady was not happy, and stared: "If you have to cut clothes, don't you have my old clothes at home? There are many, pick a few at random, and cut them out." It’s too small, just make a few pieces.”

"No, mother, this child grows up "squeaky" fast." Chen didn't budge, "Besides, the skin of the coriander is tender, and the fabric of the old clothes is thick, don't hurt the baby!"

When the old lady heard this, she became even more angry for no reason. She threw off Chen's hand and said angrily: "How can a rural child be so delicate? You still think you gave birth to a boy?! A hairy girl, rare Shit!"

Chen Shi bit her lower lip, and there was a faint sweet smell between her lips and teeth. She can be treated in any way, but she must protect her daughter, and she is also a mother.Chen raised her head sharply, and said flatly but stubbornly: "Mother, she is my daughter. The piece of cloth, as the post said, was given to my daughter by my natal family. Since the cloth is made of coriander, I can't decide. "

"You, you, you, you..." The old lady pointed at Mrs. Chen, her fingers trembling angrily.She didn't expect that the daughter-in-law, who had always kept her eyebrows low and didn't dare to breathe, dared to contradict her, and she was speechless for a while.

Mrs. Chen didn't speak, but scooped a few scoops of water from the water tank into the pot, took the dried loofah naan, and, with a heavy head, washed the dishes and chopsticks in the big pot of the kitchen.

"You wait for me." The old lady gave her a hard look and went out.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Chen wiped her hands with a cloth towel, and went into the Westinghouse to coax Xiangcai to take a nap.She patted the coriander, but her mind was full of thoughts.

She sighed heavily, the family is so difficult now, should she be angry with the old lady?After thinking about it for a while, in order for her husband to get a good grade in the examination as soon as possible and let the coriander live a good life, I should give up the piece of cloth.Come on, who called me the daughter-in-law of the Hai family, Hai Rui's wife?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen got up and went to the closet to find that piece of calico.She opened the cupboard door, a musty smell wafted into her nostrils, Mrs. Chen rummaged inside for a long time, but there were only a few tattered clothes and a tattered quilt, and the piece of plain floral cloth had long since disappeared.

Chen thought that it must be her mother-in-law who searched the house while she was washing the dishes. She felt bitter, and closed the cupboard door with a "bang--".Walked to the bed, picked up the coriander and cried loudly.

This cry, I want to vent all the grievances in my heart.It's okay to be in charge of this family, she can't even keep a piece of cloth sent by her natal family, and even her daughter has to live such a miserable life.

"Daughter, why don't you be reborn into a wealthy family!" Crying, Chen yelled, "It's better than a useless mother like me, suffering..."

Don't worry, mother, you still have me.

Chen's tears "slapped" on Xiangcai's face, it was cold.Coriander thoughtfully stretched out her small hand to wipe away Chen's tears.Of course she knew why her mother was sad. She just saw the old lady come in aggressively and snatch the cloth from the closet, but she was lying on the bed helpless.

The old lady went to Shuanghe Town, five miles away from Qingshui Village, with the cloth.The old lady sold the piece of calico and a small basket of eggs in the market, and went home happily for some money.

Three or four months passed in a blink of an eye, and the scorching summer was coming to an end.

Just like what Chen said, the little coriander grows "chuckle" very quickly, and when it opens its small mouth, a few white and beautiful little teeth are exposed, and it can already yell vaguely: "Dad." "Mother." "Uncle." "Sister-in-law." "Uncle." "Mother." But no matter how Mrs. Chen teased her and taught her, she just refused to call "Grandma." Her little arms and legs also gained strength, and she would lie on the wooden bed in the Westinghouse , waving her white, pink and tender little arms like lotus root joints, crawling all over the bed.

Relying on rice soup, rice paste, and egg custard for extra meals, the little coriander has grown to such a large size, and it is becoming more and more popular day by day. Chen is very pleased.The coriander has teeth, and Chen sometimes chews up the food and feeds it to the little coriander, hoping that she will eat more solidly.

In the past few months, Liu came here often, happily looking for Hai Ruila's homework.Xiangcai knew that it was nothing more than showing off Mrs. Liu's growing belly. The baby in Mrs. Liu's belly was almost six months old, that is, not long after Xiangcai was born, Mrs. Liu was pregnant.

"My mother-in-law, hey." Da Liu made exaggerated gestures with his hands, squinted his small eyes, and said with a high air: "That belly is so big. It's as big as two pillows stuffed! This time it must be a kid, Hehehe. How? Are you jealous of me?"

Xiangcai shook her head, and looked at her father Hai Rui, who was still as stable as Mount Tai, expressionless, showing no jealousy, but still envious, Xiangcai knew that he didn't care at all.How can you expect a person who doesn't even care about his own children to care about other people's children?It doesn't matter if Uncle Liu's family has a boy or a girl, even if a monster is born, her father, Hai Rui, is probably still so calm.

What happened to your Liu family?None of my business?
