continuation [farming]

In fact, Liu Lanniang and Mrs. Li have no friendship, and they can't catch up with Lanniang and her eldest daughter Zhang Dongmei's mother-in-law who lives in a neighboring village. Walk around, sit down and chat, and chat for a whole day.Mrs. Li is obviously different from these village women. I heard that Mrs. Li’s natal family is in the town. She was the only daughter of Mr. Kai Meng, Mrs. Li. Willing to marry.Although she has been married to this small village for more than 40 years, Mrs. Li is still out of place here.

Every time Liu Lanniang wanted to see Mrs. Li, she panicked, and this was the first time she rushed to Li's house.Mrs. Li was also quite surprised, why it wasn't Song Matchmaker who was talking back and forth, but Liu Lanniang came to the door in person, but she still just nodded and welcomed him into the room. After she sat down, she asked her family to serve tea. Only then slowly asked: "Why did Lan Niang come? You can see the Song matchmaker?"

"This... I'm here to discuss this matter with you." Liu Lanniang said bravely.

Mrs. Li was surprised and said: "Just follow the rules, and I will teach the Song matchmaker to go back and forth. After that, my Li family will not treat my mother-in-law badly."

Although Mrs. Li is polite, she calls Lanniang "mother-in-law", but Lanniang dare not call Mrs. Li back like this, so she sighed and said, "Oh, what does this teach me? Open my mouth..." Carefully glanced at Mrs. Li, and seeing that she didn't intend to stop her from continuing, Lan Niang said, "You know that I have these three girls in my family, and when I fled, I got sick again. , this stomach has not moved anymore, the head of the family and I are still counting on Xia He to find a new son-in-law, and when we get old, we can have someone to take care of us, you see..."

For a family like the Zhang family who only had a daughter, as long as their lives were not too difficult, they would consider adopting a son under their knees or finding a wife for their youngest daughter.The Zhang family has no relatives in Anle Village, so whoever is willing to adopt his own son will naturally want to recruit a relative.

Mrs. Li was not ignorant of the Zhang family's situation, so she sighed in a low voice.

She is not an unreasonable person, but after thinking about the lonely child at home, she hardened her heart and said, "My mother, this is what I have made difficult for you. It's just that I look at Jin Bao really pitifully, at such a young age. I lost my mother, I can't even drink milk, I can only fill my stomach with rice paste, and cry heartbreakingly all day long, it's like being gouged out by a knife for this old woman."

After all, Li Jinbao is the blood left behind by Qiuyue, and Lan Niang also feels sorry for her grandson. At this moment, Mrs. Li's words, Lan Niang also felt pain in her heart, but she gritted her teeth and said something against her will: "Jin Bao My poor grandson... Well, Qiuyue has been gone for three months, no wonder you want to find another mother for Jin Bao, but you have to find a girl with a good personality. My Zhang family will definitely not stop Mr. Li Continuation."

However, Mrs. Li always felt that the in-laws' words were implicated, and she still did not intend to marry Xia He, but she just said that if her son remarried, her Zhang family would not stop her.Logically speaking, if the ex-wife is gone, if the husband wants to remarry, the ex-wife's natal family should indeed nod.But Mrs. Li didn't do it for this, so she made her words more clear: "Didn't I think that Xia He is Jin Bao's biological aunt after all? My old woman is not willing to bear Jin Bao's hardship with her stepmother, so she thought, let my mother It’s always good for Auntie to take care of him.” Thinking of the Zhang family’s worry about his support, he gritted his teeth and said, “How about this, in-laws, my son and Xia He are still young, and the first child in the future will succeed you Zhang. What do you think of the family incense and the support of the two of you?"

Let the child follow his mother's surname, as if Li Mu is half of the Zhang family's son-in-law. If this is true, the Li and Zhang families will be treated as a joke by the villagers, but Mrs. Li is a little bit indifferent to these things. .Liu Lanniang was taken aback when she heard this remark, and was stunned for a while, but when she saw that Mrs. Li didn't mean to be joking, she frowned even tighter.According to the status of the Li family in this small village, Mrs. Li doesn't have to be like this. Could there be something hidden in it?

Mrs. Li originally thought that the Zhang family should be relieved that she had said so much, and what's more, she should be grateful to herself.She sipped the tea, her every move was not as busy as a village woman, but she revealed a sense of elegance, with a smile on her lips.

Lan Niang was cruel, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Li with a thud.

Even Mrs. Li was taken aback by the tiger, she hurriedly stood up, avoiding the front of Kai Lanniang, and said: "Oh! Mother-in-law, this is you! This is..."

"Mother-in-law, this is the end of the matter, let me tell the truth." Lan Niang said, shedding tears, "My miserable Qiuyue left early, and my Xia He is also a miserable child. Why on earth did God treat my Zhang family like this? Did my Zhang family do anything to offend him...my little daughter, my little girl...she...she is...a stone girl..."

At the end, Lan Niang lowered her voice, and murmured out the last two words, which were almost indistinguishable. Mrs. Li was getting older, and she was startled, thinking that she had heard wrong, and asked: "My mother... You mean...?"

"My Xia He, she is a stone girl!" Liu Lanniang burst into tears.

Mrs. Li has lived at such an age, and she has also heard about stone girls. Those poor girls can't have sex, and they can't marry. Even if they have a husband's family, they will often be divorced.At first hearing that Zhang Xiahe, who looked lively and bright, had such a hidden disease, Mrs. Li felt pity for a moment, but then suddenly thought that this does not mean that Xia He will not be able to have children of her own in this life. If she marries her back home, she will definitely Take care of little Jinbao more carefully?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li gently persuaded: "Mother-in-law, I think you should give Xia He to my son. I can guarantee that as long as Xia He takes good care of Jin Bao, my son will not be burdened." In the future, when Jin Bao grows up, he will definitely teach him to take care of you, as long as there is a lot of food from my old lady, it will definitely not shorten your food and clothing!"

Hearing Mrs. Li's words, Liu Lanniang's tears were withdrawn abruptly, she glanced at Mrs. Li blankly, lowered her head quickly, and muttered to herself, why did Mrs. Li treat the Zhang family so favorably, and she could tell such a thing? Generally speaking, just to marry Xia He?

If it wasn't for Xia He's secret, she would have agreed to it a long time ago... Liu Lanniang sighed in her heart, wiped her tears, and said, "It's just... just like this... it's too late for her uncle Qiuyue... Your Li family The cause is great, how can we only have a child like Jin Bao?"

However, she never expected that the old lady Li, who had always been gentle with others, suddenly frowned and said: "Mother-in-law, if you agree, I will go to the yamen to visit the two acres of land that were given to your family when I proposed to marry Qiuyue. Add another three acres to your family." She paused, and then said, "If it's not right... don't blame me, then I can only take back all the Zhang family's land."

Liu Lanniang never expected Mrs. Li to say such harsh words, and now she really couldn't cry anymore, and she didn't dare to refuse anymore, so she could only murmur: "This... I... I will go home and discuss with my boss. go down..."

Mrs. Li nodded, but said nothing.Liu Lanniang seemed to be frightened and ran away.

When she got home, Xia He and Zhang Shiyi, the head of the Zhang family, had already returned.Zhang Xi put her hands behind her back but didn't say anything. Xia He rubbed her stomach and let out a pitiful cooing sound. Even if she didn't say anything, it made Lan Niang's heart ache.

Lan Niang put aside the matter of the Li family first, not intending to teach Xia He to know, walked to the stove in the corner of the courtyard, pulled Xia He by hand, saw her flat chest, and patted her on the head , blamed and said: "Didn't mother teach you that a good daughter can't eat up this stored food? Why did you eat up all the steamed buns?"

Xia He argued: "Mother, after returning home, my son was so hungry that you hadn't come back yet, so I ate it. I didn't let outsiders see it, only Dad knew."

As she said that, she patted the flat area on her chest. Where does she look like a 15-year-old girl?

In fact, Xia He is just a man, but he was raised as a daughter since he was a child, and he himself does not know this.

Lan Niang sighed and had no choice but to take out two new steamed buns and stuff them for Xia He without saying a word.

Xia He glanced at the newly obtained steamed buns, and murmured: "Mother, why are the steamed buns you made smaller?" He reckoned that this time it would be enough for him to eat for three days at most, so he had to save it .

Lan Niang murmured: "Oh, I don't know, after a while, will our family be able to eat this steamed bun?"

"Mother?" Xia He glanced at Lan Niang, why did she feel that her mother seemed to be preoccupied today, what happened between the time she came home by herself and just now?

Xia He could see that Lan Niang had something on her mind, and Zhang Shixi, who was in trouble with Lan Niang, could also see it.Guessing that maybe Lan Niang didn't want Xia He to know about it, Zhang Shixi didn't say anything, but just told Lan Niang to cook quickly.After the family of three finished eating casually, Zhang Shiyi said to Xia He with a sullen face: "Xia He, you insist on going to the ground with your mother today, and you have missed your homework. Go back to your room quickly and take advantage of the sun It's not all down yet."

Xia He was about to open his mouth to explain, but seeing that his parents didn't pay attention to him, he turned his head, could it be that they want to discuss something?It's just that she was worried about Lan Niang after all, Xia He quickly agreed to her father, hid in her room, but didn't do her homework, but quietly stuck to the door, trying to distinguish the door, Lan Niang wanted to tell Zhang Eleven said something.
