Chapter 448

Mrs. Wu was paralyzed in bed.I heard that He Xiaoxi and the others were entrusted by Lao Wu, and the old lady murmured for a long time.However, He Xiaoxi didn't understand a word.

Judging by the expressions on the faces of the whole family, He Xiaoxi could guess that the words were not good.

"Just take care of your illness and don't worry about it so much." Old Man Wu persuaded their old woman.But He Xiaoxi could hear a trace of impatience from his tone.

"Yeah, mother, you can rest easy and recuperate. Eldest brother won't leave you alone. Even if elder brother doesn't care about you, wouldn't there still be us?" Wu Er continued.

After hearing Wu Er's words, the old lady was finally not as excited as she was at the beginning.However, the more He Xiaoxi thought about Wu Er's words, the more he felt something was wrong.

Is this really persuasive?Why does she sound like she is poking a fire?He Xiaoxi looked at Wu Er and his wife thoughtfully.

In addition to the big burden brought by Lao Wu, He Xiaoxi also prepared some souvenirs for the Wu family as gifts.After seeing Mrs. Wu, He Xiaoxi took out the gift.

"Brother Wu asked us to bring it here. It's a small thing. Please accept it." He Xiaodong and Uncle Wu exchanged politely.

Mrs. Wu went to help everyone arrange accommodation.The other two sisters-in-law cook at Nabeya.Only Wu Er's daughter-in-law stood in the hall.Seeing the gift that He Xiaoxi took out, she immediately reached out to take it.

Seeing her look so natural, her movements are so skillful.Thinking about it, I usually skip my elder sister-in-law to do this kind of thing.

He Xiaoxi put on a puzzled expression at the right time.

How can you, a sister-in-law, reach out to pick up the things that the eldest brother-in-law sent back?In case there are things in it that only a couple can see, what do you care about?

Uncle Wu also felt that it was unreasonable for Wu's second daughter-in-law to do so.He coughed and glared at Wu Er's daughter-in-law.He raised his voice and shouted: "Boss daughter-in-law, come here and put away the things that boss sent back."

Wu Er's daughter-in-law snorted unconvinced and withdrew her hand, even rolling her eyes.

Mrs. Wu came out in response and took the burden and presents.

The old Wu family here belongs to the junction of the two provinces, and most of the villages have the habit of growing cotton.However, because of the long distance across provinces, not many merchants came to buy cotton.

Coupled with the impact of foreign cloth, most of the people here have eliminated the old looms in the past few years.This has resulted in a situation where the cotton is now unmarketable.

"Every family should have quite a few. I heard that some people in my natal family have not sold out last year." When He Xiaoxi asked Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu replied.

After inquiring about the news, He Xiaoxi decided to stay here for a few days.However, the old martial arts family has many houses and few houses, so it is definitely not the case to be crowded in other people's houses.

""Brother, go ask Uncle Wu if there is any vacant house in the village, we will rent it for a few days. "He Xiaoxi told her elder brother to inquire about the house.

"There is definitely no vacant house, but the sons of the village's Xi Laoji are all outside, and they have a grandson at home. They should have a few houses that they can rent to you." Uncle Wu said.

Early the next morning, He Xiaoxi and the others made inquiries about the house, cleaned it and moved in.

He Xiaodong and Lu Yanming drove their cars and led people in two directions to buy cotton.He Xiaoxi took Damei Lu and Xiaojiu to clean at home.

Aunt Wu and her children came to help.After tidying up, He Xiaoxi avoids others and takes out the money that Lao Wu asked her to bring back.

"Brother Wu asked us to bring you the money." He Xiaoxi handed the money to Sister Wu.

Look at the shabby clothes of the children of the old Wu family, and think about the clothes of the rest of their family.Think about the big burden that Lao Wu sent back.

He Xiaoxi couldn't help thinking about it, whether Lao Wu had any deep meaning in asking her to send the money.Just like Lao Wu's mind with nine bends and eighteen bends.I'm afraid it's not as simple as saving a few postage fees.

So she didn't take out the money in public yesterday.Instead, he chose to quietly hand it over to Mrs. Wu behind her back.

"Why don't you go with Brother Wu? If you go to the city, the children can go to school." He Xiaoxi chatted with Mrs. Wu.

"Your elder brother hasn't made the arrangements yet. Once the arrangements are made, our mothers will take them over." Mrs. Wu looked like she didn't want to say more.

He Xiaoxi thought about it, Lao Wu didn't give birth to some kind of flamboyant person, did he?What happened to leaving the daughter-in-law and children in the hometown and not picking them up?

Do you also want to learn from others to get promoted and go to the city to change your wife?Bah, He Xiaoxi spat inwardly.In vain we treat you as a gentleman, but you are such a beast in clothes.

The eldest daughter of the old Wu family who was helping to organize the goods answered: "My father has long wanted to take us all over, but my grandma has been bullying us all the time."

"The second uncle taught grandma to do this. I heard what the second uncle said to grandma." The youngest son of the old Wu family also interjected, "Second uncle said that once we leave, we will leave grandma alone.
I won't give money to the family anymore, and let grandma stop us from entering the city. "

He Xiaoxi understood.It's not that Lao Wu wants to change his wife.

In this era, one person earns money and manages a large family.Therefore, it is not uncommon for people to detain their wives and children from entering the city.Some families keep their daughters who can earn money, and there are even those who are not allowed to marry.

Mrs. Wu quickly stopped the two children: "Don't talk nonsense, go out and play." Then she explained to He Xiaoxi: "Children are ignorant and talk nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I heard it last night." The tiger-headed child pricked his neck to defend himself.

There are few houses in the old Wu family.There are too many of them to stay overnight, and the children have no place to live, so they go to squeeze with their grandparents.

The adults thought that the child was asleep and talking, so the child listened to it.

The old Wu family has six children, three boys and three girls.Qi Qi looked at Mrs. Wu.Seeing Mrs. Wu was a little embarrassed.

"You can't say it when you go out. Let someone learn it and let your second uncle know. It's another anger." Sister Wu's words are a disguised admission that what the children said is correct.

The children stopped confronting her.

When He Xiaodong and the others came back at night, they really bought a lot of cotton.

How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise.They helped Lao Wu take a detour this time, and there was an unexpected harvest.

People here prefer cash transactions.There are also replacements, but relatively few.

"Should I bring less things tomorrow?" Lu Yanming said.The donkey cart he was driving had a small compartment, and it took a lot of effort to load the cotton today.Embarrass him and Xiao Wu.

"Okay, you guys should bring less, brother, your car is big, so don't take less." He Xiaoxi was talking to everyone while compacting the cotton into bags.

Cotton is a thing that can hold a lot more if it is compacted.It's just sticky with cotton wool everywhere.Drilling into the nostrils and sneezing incessantly.

"Aunt Thirteen, you keep sneezing, Uncle Thirteen misses you, right?" Xiao Jiu joked about He Xiaoxi openly because of his young age.

 Jiayangzi is a northern dialect.It means booing.

  奅 (pāo) means inflated.
