Chapter 12 Zhou's training daughter-in-law
"The second wife, go and call your sister-in-law. "The last one is the first to come." Zhou's commander He.
He agreed and was about to call Gu, but Lian Xiuer hurriedly got off the kang.
"Mom, I'll go and call me." Lian Xiu'er said. Zhou was angry. She had to hurry up and tell Gu and Lian Hua'er that she was worried about others going.
Zhou glanced at Lian Xiu'er and snorted. Seeing that Zhou did not object, Lian Xiu'er hurried to the west room.
After a while, Lian Xiu'er came back, and Lian Huaer and Lian Duoer supported Gu'er and followed him.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is really sick. I heard you call me and I struggled to come over." Lian Xiu'er said to Zhou with a smile.
Zhou ignored her daughter and only glanced at Gu, and realized it in her heart. When she was in vain at this age, she wanted to deceive her by making such a trick.
"Mom, my wife, please give me my respect." Gu squatted down and blessed Zhou.
Seeing that Gu's rituals were solemn, Zhou felt a little relieved. The countryside, especially his own family, did not pay attention to these etiquettes. The Gu's blessing ceremony was a rule that only the whole family had, and it was exactly the same as Zhou's taste.
Seeing that Zhou's face looked a little better, Gu continued to smile and said, "I thought about coming here early in the morning, but I was not strong and dizzy. I was afraid that my mother would worry, so I didn't dare to tell her, and wanted to wait a little better before coming over."
"Yes, mama, my mother is coming to pay her respects to her in the morning. She almost fell down after walking two steps, but she frightened us." Lian Huaer said, "My mother was lying on the kang and kept saying that she wanted to come over. This is the rule that her daughter-in-law should be filial to her mother-in-law. She said that she had fed her breasts into the Lian family's door, and the rules and etiquette of our family were not as good as those of the whole family in the city."
Zhou's face couldn't help but turn from Yin to Qing. It was really the words of Gu and Lian Huaer, and every sentence was on her heart. When she turned around to look at He, Zhang and Zhao, she felt that her eldest daughter-in-law was sensible and caring.
However, Zhou did not change his mind because of this, and he still had to establish the rules that should be established. It would be easy to be together before. When her eldest son became an official in the future, she would naturally follow her. At that time, she would live in the same house with Gu, and she would have to spend a lot of time with him every day. She should take advantage of the situation now and take care of Gu and Zhao, and would not dare to say a word.
Thinking of this, Zhou's face became dark and he ignored Lian Xiu'er's pleading gaze.
"You are the scholar's wife, and your body is pretty." Zhou sneered, "Who still remembers that I am the scholar's mother!"
"Mom, I..." Gu heard that Zhou's words were not good, so he quickly bent his back a little more, making a more respectful look.
"You have been living in the town all the time and are used to being at ease. My mother-in-law didn't serve you. When you got home, you were fine yesterday. I asked Xiu'er to call you in the morning and you were uncomfortable. Why don't you sit on the kang and I'll cook for you?"
Gu's face suddenly turned pale, and Zhou's words were heartbroken. She thought she was a very smart person. After entering the Lian family, she quickly realized the nature of the old lady, Zhou, and the Zhou family was very good. At the same time, she also knew how difficult it was for Zhou to get along with him, so she thought of a way to live in the town with Lian Shouren, so as to avoid the hard work of serving her mother-in-law.
Over the years, she has been versatile and has no need to serve Zhou, and is also the most respectable daughter-in-law in front of Zhou.
Now, her daughter is about to marry into the Sun family. Her husband's official election is expected to be the wife of the official family. Why did Zhou change his face and really have to control her?
She was indeed smart. After thinking about it, she immediately understood. Zhou's personality was the most powerful. Zhou wanted to let her know that even if she became the official wife, Zhou was also an old lady, on top of her head.
However, after so many years of free life, will he be under the control of his mother-in-law when he becomes an official wife? Gu was upset and stunned.
"I, an old woman, have never served the scholar's wife. I should beat her!" Zhou suddenly raised her voice, howled, stretched out her two slaps, and then slapped her in the face.
Lian Xiuer, Zhang, He and others hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
Lian Man'er was already stunned.
Gu's wife woke up from a dream and was scared to death. She knew that the current court attaches great importance to filial piety. Lian Shouren wanted to be an official, and there should not be any stain on the word filial piety. The same is true for her to be an official wife.
"Mom, you are going to kill your wife." Gu hurriedly knelt on the ground and hugged Zhou's thighs. "It was my mother's order to serve the master in the town. My wife never dared to forget her mother's teachings, and she kowtowed to her mother every day in the direction of this old house. Now she is back, and her wife is about to respect her mother..."
Gu kowtowed a few times on the ground. Lian Xiu'er, Lian Hua'er and others were kind enough to persuade Zhou. Zhou stopped slapping himself in the face.
"What do I want you to be filial to? Since you are back, just take turns doing housework like your sisters-in-law." Zhou said.
"Yes, mother." Gu nodded quickly, stood up, feeling indescribable pain.
She was a teenager and was also a daughter who was begging for hundreds of schools. She didn't have to make a difference, but she finally chose Lian Shouren and was still a house filling. As soon as she entered the door, she had to take care of the child left behind in the room. What was she thinking? Yes, she liked Lian Shouren's appearance. But if Lian Shouren did not have the fame of a scholar, she would not agree to marry her.
She originally expected Lian Shouren to be the first to be an official, and she also became a wife. However, Lian Shouren failed the exam and was always a scholar. Despite this, in the town, she has invited cooks and mates to cook three meals and chores a day (of course, these are all hidden from the old house). She and Lian Huaer and Lian Duoer were raised without touching the spring water. Now they have to cook, feed chickens and pigs in this countryside!
Gu Shi is really dizzy now.
"You have done those jobs a few years ago. Let's go cook first. Be quicker, your father and the others should come back." Zhou waved to Gu and asked her to work.
Lian Man'er pulled Zhang out of the upper room and walked into the yard. Zhang stopped.
"Man'er, you go back first, mom will help your uncle cook." Zhang said.
It seems that Zhang is really a legendary super diligent person who can't stop his hands and feet.
Lian Man'er held Zhang's hand and refused to let go. Zhou wanted to control Gu's family. If Zhang was a smart person, he should stay away at this time. Moreover, with Gu's wisdom, he should be able to deal with it well. Why did Zhang do it to be cannon fodder?
But these words are hard to say clearly, at least not yet.
"Mom, in your heart, who is more important to be filial to your uncle?" Lian Man'er asked Zhang.
"Of course, filial piety is important." Zhang explained to Lian Man'er seriously, "Your uncle and I are the same generation. She is the chief. She usually respects a little, but there is no filial piety."
"That's it. If the milk needs to be eaten by the uncle, no matter how it is cooked, it is her filial piety, and she will feel comfortable after eating it. If the mother goes to make it, it wouldn't be a chance to snatch the aunt's filial milk. Neither the aunt will be happy either." Lian Man'er said.
Zhang thought what Lian Man'er said seemed to make sense, but she also felt that something was wrong.
"Don't you help each other with your third uncle? Your breasts didn't say anything?" Zhang said.
"My uncle just came back. Of course it was different when doing housework on the first day." Lian Man'er said, "My uncle has Sister Huaer and Duoer, both of whom are very capable. How can you help me if you do it?... When the uncle needs help, she will speak."
Lian Man'er said this, but she didn't think so. What she was thinking was why she wanted to help Gu, but Gu wanted to exchange her for money to protect her daughter's good marriage, so of course she shouldn't help.
Zhang guessed that Lian Man'er was hesitating, and Lian Xiu'er walked out of the upper room.
"Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, you haven't come into the house to help your sister-in-law work! Although my mother said that, you must know in your heart that your sister-in-law is a scholar-in-law, not an ordinary farmer woman. Huaer is about to go out. Duoer is young, so how can she do the work in the farmer courtyard? Fourth sister-in-law, this work is nothing in your hands. Even if you have everything, it won't take much effort." Lian Xiu'er said authentically.
What happened to Lian Xiu'er? Summoning Zhang is like sending servants. Lian Man'er was almost angry and laughed. What is this? Even if she was going to help, she didn't want to go at this time.
"Milk can't eat the food cooked by the scholar's wife?" Lian Man'er walked to the window of the east room and said loudly, "The eldest uncle will be a wife in the future, and she will also be the daughter-in-law of the milk. Sister Huaer and Duoer are also the granddaughters of the milk. Why can't milk eat the food they cooked for?"
Zhou heard what Lian Man'er said in the room and nodded secretly.
"Xiuer, come to your house and let your sister-in-law work." Zhou said to the outside.
Lian Xiu'er couldn't, so she glared at Lian Man'er and had to go back to the house.
Gu was spinning around the stove, and she couldn't even ignite the fire, let alone cook. Even Huaer and Lian Duoer despised the dirty work and hid in the house. Lian Huaer even encouraged Lian Xiu'er to find Zhang and Zhao to cook. However, Lian Xiu'er messed up the matter, and Gu stomped his feet anxiously next to the stove.
She really can't do it, and she doesn't want to do these tasks. But it won't work if Zhou's assigned things.
"Third brother and sister, fourth brother and sister." Gu took out the curtain and smiled at Zhao and Zhang, "I haven't been back for a long time. I've given birth to work, and both children are not responsible. You are all capable people, so let me help!"
Zhang was about to agree, and Lian Man'er quickly pulled Zhang's sleeves.
"Sister-in-law, wait, I'll come here later." After Zhang said to Gu, he took Lian Man'er back to the west wing.
Gu's face sank at the door.
"Man'er, you feel sorry for your mother, I know." In the west wing, Zhang said to Lian Man'er seriously, "It's just that there is a reason you have to understand. This family cannot be so clear and petty. If a family lives, there will always be someone who suffers a loss, otherwise how can this family live? Man'er, you must remember that it's not tiring to work. Mom is good at doing things, she does a lot, eats good food, and eats tough food."
Lian Man'er was a little speechless. What Zhang said was the right way that could be recorded in any book, but if you cannot recognize the surrounding environment, it would be too pedantic and you would not even get basic respect.
"Mom, you're right. But it depends on who the other party is..." Lian Man'er said, if you are good, your kindness and tolerance make the other party selectively ignore your benefits, and regard these benefits as weakness and bullying, then what should you do? What should you do? What should you do if your "weakness and bullying" will affect your closest person, such as your children, when they dare to attack your children, and will you continue to suffer losses and not care about it?
Lian Man'er's words made Zhang cry as if struck by lightning.
