Chapter 1018: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (13)

 Early the next morning, Xu Yin just opened the door, stretched out in the cool morning breeze, and looked down to see a pile of fresh pigweed lying at the door of the courtyard.

Just as he was wondering, the trio Goudan, Tiewa and Huzi arrived carrying baskets on their backs. When they arrived, they first poured out the pigweed in their respective baskets.

What else doesn’t Xu Yin understand?

He waved the three of them into the house: "You haven't had breakfast yet? Eat at my place and then go home."

"No, Aunt Hall." Goudan scratched his head and said, "My mother is afraid that Aunt Hall will let us have dinner and ask us to go back after delivering the pigweed."

“That’s not possible! You’ve done something for me, how can you go back hungry? Then I won’t dare to ask you for help in the future.”

The three children looked at each other with indescribable confusion on their faces. To eat or not to eat, that was the question.

Xu Yin didn't give them time to worry, and urged them to wash their hands. After washing their hands, each person stuffed a bowl of fragrant mushroom and lean meat porridge and a piece of multigrain pancake.

"From now on, if you help me weed the pigs, you can have breakfast at my place. Don't come here on rainy days. The roads are muddy and soiling your shoes is not a big deal, but getting stuck in the mud is too dangerous."

 Xu Yin gave them a warning.

The three children happily agreed, and when they went back to tell their families, they were even happier than they were. It was equivalent to carrying baskets of pigweed in exchange for a breakfast!

Even if it’s a wild vegetable cornstarch that’s painful and cuts your throat, it still saves a meal for the family.

What's more, after these few days of dealing with her, they finally understood that Meng Jin's wife was definitely not a stingy person.

In the past, I always heard Mrs. Cui wiping away her tears and complaining that her daughter-in-law was lazy and greedy, and could only get in and out. She thought Meng Jin’s wife was so bad. But now that she thinks about it, it’s probably Cui, the mother-in-law, who doesn’t like her daughter-in-law. Are you deliberately trying to ruin the reputation of Meng Jin's wife?

 Tsk! Since ancient times, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and aunt-in-law have often been at odds with each other. This is true. I have never seen Cui Qiaoqiao, a sister-in-law, deliberately smearing Meng Jin's wife after the family separation, saying that she was kidnapping and trafficking children in the village.

Not only these three families, but also the people who bought pork from Xu Yin yesterday, the scales in their hearts were all tilted towards Xu Yin unconsciously.

Cui Qiaoqiao overheard such gossip and was so angry that her liver almost exploded.

How could her mother deliberately ruin that woman's reputation? After she married into the Cui family, she was indeed lazy, greedy, and extremely bad! Who wronged her?

 It wasn’t until the family was separated that I became diligent.

It's not because the eldest brother hasn't come back and she is the only one in the eldest house. If she doesn't work, who will?

 As for generosity, it is also because of laziness.

She didn't want to do the job, so she left Goudan and a few children with them and promised them a breakfast. Anyway, no one saw what they ate, maybe just half a bran cornstarch made from wild vegetables.

Cui Qiaoqiao returned home angrily carrying a basket of wild vegetables.

Mrs. Cui was collecting shoe soles under the eaves. Seeing her daughter's unhappy look, she asked, "Who made you unhappy?"

 “Who else could it be?”

Cui Qiaoqiao felt that she was right and her mother was right, but outsiders didn't know the inside story, so they blamed their mothers. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and she complained with red eyes:

"Ms. Xu doesn't know where she went wrong. She pretends to be a generous and kind person outside. For two baskets of pigweed, she treats Goudan and her children to breakfast. Where are my little brother and I? We used to help her wash, cook and clean the house. , not to mention eating her, she can't even say a nice word to her. Yesterday she shot eight wild boars, and she would rather weigh them and sell them instead of sending some to her home. You are her mother-in-law, and you are also the mother-in-law after the family is separated. With this kind of character, outsiders still think she is good!"

　　“Hey, you are blaming me for this!”

Xu Yin was holding a piece of wild boar leg meat strung on a straw rope and leaning against the gate of Lao Cui's house, half-smiling.

 “Looks like I didn’t come at the right time!”

The Cui family instantly felt embarrassed as if they had been caught speaking ill of people behind their backs. Especially for Mr. Cui, her daughter has not yet discussed marriage. What if her slutty daughter-in-law turns around and goes outside to say that her sister-in-law is criticizing her behind her back?

She stood up anxiously: "Boss and wife, what are you doing here so early?"

This is a bit of nonsense. Didn't Xu Yin see the bright knife of meat in her hand?

Xu Yin didn't want to waste time talking nonsense to them, so she handed the meat to Ms. Cui: "I went to the town yesterday and came back late and didn't come over. Mom, I will send you all the good things I have, as filial as I am. Daughter-in-law, go out and ask around, how many can you find in the whole village?"

　　At this point, she glanced at Cui Qiaoqiao meaningfully: "Don't eat my food and say that I'm bad this way and that I'm not good that way behind your back. That's boring!"

ˆ Cui: “…”

Cui Qiaoqiao stamped her feet in shame and hid in the house.

Xu Yin finished delivering the meat and went home briskly.

 She was very busy today making sausages, curing bacon, and soy sauce.

If I hadn’t stopped by to order a plate of tofu from Hu Zi’s house, I would have fried the tofu soaked in stewed pork belly and eat it later. I originally wanted Gou Dan to bring the pork belly.

But luckily she came to deliver it herself, otherwise she wouldn't have heard her sister-in-law complain.

After this, her bad reputation of being lazy, unfilial to her mother-in-law, and treating her brother-in-law and sister-in-law badly was cleared.

Whenever she is mentioned, the first thing that people in the village think of is her great strength - she can kill a big wild boar with one kick. What a powerful force!

 Secondly, she felt that she was filial. No matter whether she caught fish or hunted game, she would send a share to Lao Cui's house.

How could Mrs. Cui explain it: "The eldest daughter-in-law was really not like this before. She only became like this after the family was separated."

 The people in the village no longer listen to one thing or another.

"Qiuhua, even if Meng Jin's daughter-in-law became diligent and filial after the family was separated, that would be great! If those spoiled daughters-in-law in my family become so filial after the family is separated, I will find Li Zheng to preside over the separation when I get back. Home."

"Sister-in-law Qiuhua, Erya has been really nice to you. She feeds you meat every now and then. If my daughter-in-law is so capable, I can treat her as an ancestor."

"That's right! If Meng Jin's daughter-in-law is not filial, I don't think we can find any filial daughter-in-law in Dawa Village."

　　　…”

　　　It is difficult for Mr. Cui to speak his mind.

Cui Qiaoqiao was also aggrieved.

Since Mrs. Xu shot eight wild boars, the women in the village have looked at her inexplicably weird, and more than once I heard them say secretly that she disrespected her elder sister-in-law and deliberately slandered her elder sister-in-law's reputation.

 But she was so angry that she was really full of grievances and had no way to complain.

She was really worried that the Xu family would sell Goudan and others, because the woman had never done such a thing in her previous life, so out of good intentions, she would rather delay her own business and run back to tell the three families.

Who knew that woman really just took Goudan and San to go up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.

 It’s really hard to describe!

Now she is waiting for her eldest brother to come back. When the woman sees that her eldest brother has broken his leg and is paralyzed on the bed, she will definitely make a big fuss and ask Lao Cui's family for money. After asking for the money, she will not treat her brother's leg. It was to find a way for herself.

 She is waiting! Waiting for the villagers to see her true face!
