Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

When Liu Yu heard this, her heart moved.

Yan, an old pious woman, has no profit and cannot afford to go early.

Even though she was so harsh on her own granddaughter, Liu Yu didn't believe that she could be kind enough to raise a child for others.

"Sister, how old are these two children!"

"My daughter is older, she must be fourteen this year, and my brother is one year younger, he is also thirteen."

Liu Meixiang didn't know what Liu Yu was asking about, so she told everything she knew. As she spoke, she came to her senses.

"Ayu, you are saying that Wu Ping's mother doesn't care about Jiang Huixin, but she has her sights set on the two babies!"

Liu Meixiang is not stupid, she will understand after a little thought.

Xiaoxue is seven years old this year, and Wu Chengxue, the eldest child in the second family, is ten years old. Usually at home, Ms. Yan would often talk about Xiaoxue being a girl. In her words, she arranged for the child to find a rich man and exchange more betrothal gifts for the child. The elder brother takes a wife.

If it is said that she is doing it for these two betrothal gifts, it is quite possible.

Liu Meixiang touched the soft hair of her daughter in her arms, and felt a chill in her heart. Xiaoxue was born at the end of February, and there was a peach blossom snow on the day of her birth.

Mrs. Yan only felt that this child was unlucky and did not bother to pick a name. She only called her Xiaoxue. However, she paid money to ask a scholar from the next village to get the names of the two young men in the second room.

Xiaoxue lived in fear in the Wu family. No one cared about her except herself. Looking back on her life, she felt like a rootless duckweed. When she was young, she obeyed her father's orders and married into the Wu family.

She married into the Wu family when she was 16 or 17 years old. After a few years of hard work, she only had one daughter. Now that she is 28 years old, she cannot return to her mother's family, and her husband's family is not a good place to return.

As he approaches his thirties, he might even end up having no children, which is really sad.

"Mom, I'm afraid!"

Xiaoxue can already understand the language. Just now, her two uncles said that Grandma does not want her mother at home and wants to marry her cousin. Her surname is Wu, and her mother will definitely not be able to take her with her.

Thinking of having to make a living in the hands of her stepmother and grandmother, Xiaoxue's little body couldn't help but tremble.

Xiaoxue's low and suppressed sobs were like a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Meixiang's heart hard. She trembled all over and involuntarily hugged Xiaoxue tightly, speaking comfortingly.

"Be good, don't be afraid, mother will never leave you."

Xiaoxue was still so young. No matter how good the world was, she wouldn't trust Xiaoxue to others. Xiaoxue still needed her, so she couldn't fail by herself.

Only when she, the mother-in-law, stood up could Xiaoxue straighten her arms and legs, straighten her back, and become so helpless that she didn't even dare to cry or laugh.

Since giving in will lead to nowhere, then face it!

"Grandpa, Grandma, Changsheng, Ayu, I have something to discuss with you!"

Liu Meixiang's eyes were shining, but her eyes were firm. She stroked Xiaoxue's back and said slowly: "I would like to ask you to take care of Xiaoxue for a few days. I will go home tomorrow..."

"No, that old pious woman from the Wu family has sworn to get a new wife. Who knows how she will tease you when you go back? If you have bad intentions, wouldn't it be like ripping out my old woman's heart!"

Nianshi refused immediately before Liu Meixiang finished speaking.

"Grandma, listen to me. It's not me who is worried about this matter. If they want to send me away at will, it won't be so easy. I will definitely take Xiaoxue's child away. I just need to spend time with them at home! "

Liu Meixiang understood clearly that she was not in a hurry to get married for the second time, but had plenty of patience.

However, Jiang Huixin may not be willing to drag on the marriage without knowing anything. Moreover, the eldest daughter of Jiang Huixin is already fourteen, which will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year. The first month and the second month are the right times to find someone to marry.

The one who is anxious is the Yan family who is anxious to collect the betrothal gift.

Of course, the premise of these things is that the truth is what they guessed. Mrs. Yan really planned to hire Jiang Huixin as her eldest daughter-in-law, and she also coveted the bride price of their children.

Liu Fusheng and Nian still had hesitation on their faces.

"Grandpa and grandma, please listen to eldest sister!"

Liu Yu thought for a long time, sighed softly in her heart, and then continued: "Don't worry, eldest sister, Xiaoxue will not be able to bear the grievance in our family."

"From tomorrow onwards, I will go to Wu's house once a day to see my eldest sister until she returns home."

"Thank you, eldest sister, thank you." Liu Meixiang's eyebrows arched, and the light in her eyes became tiny, and only the reddish eye circles revealed her excitement.

"Do you want to tell your parents?"

Nian didn't have a better idea, so he accepted Liu Meixiang's proposal, but Liu Yu would go there every day, which made him feel relieved.

"No need, let's wait until the matter is settled!" Liu Meixiang's expression became dull again.

. . . . . . . .

The next day it was still dark, and the three of them got up and worked until daylight before finishing all the cakes.

Liu Meixiang did not delay, and went forward together with Liu Yu. Today, they went to Zhangzhen Beiji, and the three of them walked together.

When they reached a fork in the road, the three of them separated. Liu Yu and Changsheng continued to move forward, passing the Shuangqiao Bridge and then to the arrow.

"Okay, please be careful on the road. Don't come home today. Come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

After Liu Meixiang said this, she waved to the two of them and turned around and entered the fork in the road.

. . . . . . . .

When the two of them passed Shuangqiao, the streets were sparsely crowded because they were walking on their backs.

The two of them didn't waste any time. Liu Yu was quick on her feet and pushed the cart forward, heading straight for the arrow.

Arrowhead is a big town, because it has waterways and piers, and the streets are much wider and smoother than Shuangqiao. The two of them were new arrivals and asked where they could set up stalls.

From the two locations of the pier and the grass market, the pier was chosen.

It was quite a long journey from Shangzhang Town to Arrowhead. The two of them arrived late. When they arrived at the pier, they saw that the good seats in front were already occupied by people.

Liu Yu and Changsheng didn't care. They found a place at random, arranged their things, and started cooking on the kang.

The sweet fragrance spread out with the floating air. It happened that a ship of goods had been unloaded, and the porters and Lifu carrying the baggage cart were looking for food everywhere.

Liu Yu hurriedly asked Changsheng to take out a few of the crispy shortcakes from the Kang and cut them into pieces, leaving them for the passersby and porters to taste.

No one can refuse the sweet taste. After asking about the price, these guys who were not short of money donated their money one after another, and most of them bought two.

Three pennies for two is a penny less than two pennies for one.

About two hundred shortcakes were sold out by noon!

After the things were sold out, the two of them felt much relieved. It was still early at this time, and they rarely had such leisure time before Changsheng. They saw that the vendors at the pier were selling all kinds of things, so they wanted to go shopping. Take a tour.

Liu Yu stored the trolley and only took a backpack. The two of them walked and looked at each other. When they encountered something they were interested in, they stopped and asked the price. If they found it suitable, they would buy it. If they thought it was too expensive, they would put it down. .

"This red ribbon is so bright, let's buy two to tie Xiaoxue's hair!"

Changsheng looked at a small vendor selling cloth and needlework and selling bright ribbons. He couldn't help but touch them. They were soft and silky. It turned out that this was the feel of forging.

"Okay!"

Liu Yu nodded hurriedly. It was the first time Xiaoxue had been away from her mother for such a long time, and she didn't know how to cry. It would be nice to buy two pieces of silk to coax the little girl.
