Chapter 183: Shabby Sister-in-law


"Xiaomei, don't be polite, Li Da has been with us in the capital for many years, I treat him as my own junior, and I am happy to do happy things for my juniors" Mama Liu also hurriedly helped Hu Shaomei.

Then Li Qingxiu introduced a few girls who followed Ruoyun to Hu Shaomei, Li Qingxiu had followed Ruoyun to Suzhou and seen the power of Chunye, and she didn't dare to underestimate the few girls around Ruoyun, so she officially introduced them at this time.

After some introduction, the atmosphere was a lot more lively, and many villagers came in to see the bride, and the children also ran in to beg for candy, which was very lively.

At this time, Li Mantun, the second uncle of Li Da, found Li Manshan, who was busy, and said with some concern, "Big brother, you see, at this time, why hasn't the little sister arrived yet, her family lives not far away, is there something wrong on the road?"

Li Mantun said that their sister Li Manhong, she married to Niutou Village across the village, and according to the banquet, she should have arrived as an aunt.

Li Manshan was also stunned when he heard this, he had been busy just now and didn't notice that Li Manhong hadn't arrived yet, "Little sister hasn't arrived yet, shouldn't it, the day before yesterday, I asked someone to send a letter to her home."

"Yes, so I thought, is there something on the road that delayed it, otherwise how could she delay the happy day of Da Lang's marriage" Li Mantun said with a worried face.

Li Manjiang, who was greeting the guests, saw the two elder brothers discussing things in one place, so he also walked over, and when he heard that his sister had not yet arrived, he also frowned and said, "Hmph, I see that it is her mother-in-law's family who is difficult for her, so let's do it, eldest brother and second brother, you greet the guests first, and I will let Qingjie go outside the village to pick them up." ” "Okay, let Qingjie pick it up, put on the ox cart, and the ox cart will be tied outside the door."

Li Manshan nodded.

Li Manjiang went to find his son and asked him to pick up his aunt.

Qingjie has almost eaten enough.

He didn't drink anyway, so he listened to his father's instructions, nodded and walked out quickly.

When the banquet was about to end, Li Qingjie led the three people into the door.

The three men were a middle-aged woman and two and a half children.

Li Manshan was already a little drunk at this time, and when he looked up and saw these three people, he couldn't help but feel sour, he almost didn't recognize his little sister In the winter, my sister and two children are wearing thin shirts full of patches, and they are already shivering in the cold wind, and the three of them are thin skinny and bone-covered, and their sister is eleven years younger than herself, and now she looks much older than her second brother and sister, and her whole body is stiff and reads after years of hard work.

The face is also weathered, how can there be the demeanor when he got married.

The two children also look much thinner than children of the same age, and their niece Dongying is a fourteen-year-old girl.

It's the age of flowers, but he wears a gray shirt, which is worse than a boy.

And his nephew, twelve-year-old Dongping, actually wore a pair of straw sandals barefoot in winter.

The three of them stood there, worse than the refugees who had come to flee.

Li Manshan sighed.

Their family has not let the children suffer from cold and hunger in the most difficult time in the past few years, and the conditions of the sister's family are said to be good, why is it like this.

Seeing such a scene, he endured the sourness in his heart, she knew her sister's temper, and she didn't want others to look down on her, so she put up a smile on her face and walked over and said, "Little sister."

Why did you arrive at this time, I have been worried about your second brother and third brother for a long time, so hurry up and take the child in, it's cold outside.

By the way, brother-in-law, why did you come here?"

"Big brother, I'm late to make you worry.

Hoda went to the town to do odd jobs.

I haven't been back for the past few days, and I don't know about Da Lang's marriage.

Li Manhong explained to her eldest brother with some apologies.

His father-in-law's surname is Fang, and his name is Baotian.

"It's the twenty-eighth month of the month when I do odd jobs, and tomorrow will be the New Year, why hasn't my brother-in-law come back yet" Li Manjiang also saw his little sister coming over.

Come and greet you too.

"Third uncle, my grandmother said that at this time, the salary is high, so she didn't let my father come back."

Fang Dongping snorted and said because of the chills from the cold.

"Your mother-in-law is really, how much more money can you make, you won't let your son come back for reunion during the Chinese New Year," Li Manjiang muttered unhappily.

Li Manhong lowered his head when he heard this, but did not speak.

When Li Manjiang saw her like this, his teeth itched for a while, and he hated that iron was not made of steel, and said, "Tell me about you, can you be a little tougher in the future, I don't know how to go back to my mother's house when I am angry at my mother-in-law's house, you have three brothers, and it's not that there is no one in your mother's family."

"Third brother, I'm doing well, don't worry."

Li Manhong lowered his head and said in a low voice, he knew that the eldest brother and the second brother's family were not having a good time, and although the third brother was better, he mostly relied on his sister-in-law's family, and she didn't want to cause trouble to several brothers.

"You have a good name, you look at the clothes you wear in the winter are thinner than paper, Dongping is still barefoot, the children are skinny and skinny, where is the good life" Li Manjiang pointed to the three of them and said.

"Okay, the third brother and the guests are all watching, don't talk about it yet, the little sister finally came to visit, let them go to the house to warm up first, and then I'll go get them some hot food, you see the children are hungry."

Li Manshan stopped Li Manjiang's words and pulled a few people inside.

"Big brother, I'm late, I'm going to have a wedding wine, and I'm not an aunt when I get married, so I can only take a piece of fabric to congratulate him."

As he spoke, he handed over a basket he had been carrying.

Li Manshan took it and saw that there was a neat stack of blue and white cloth in the basket, although it was a new piece of fabric, but the color had darkened a lot, obviously his little sister had been hiding at the bottom of the box for many years and was reluctant to use it, and he couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart, what kind of life did his sister live.

Li Manjiang also saw this piece of fabric, and his heart couldn't help but be even more angry, because this piece of fabric was still given to his little sister by Hu Shi on Dongying's birthday five years ago, and asked her to make a dress for Dongying.

I didn't expect the little sister to hide such a worthless piece of fabric for five years, and couldn't help but say in a bad tone, "Man Hong, aren't you not separated from the family, your mother-in-law didn't prepare a congratulatory gift for you when our family had a happy event" "When I came, my mother went to ask for it, but I didn't give my milk and scolded my mother.

In the end, my mother made lunch at home before letting us go out.

Uncle, we haven't eaten yet, I'm so hungry" Fang Dongping on the side saw his uncle and said bitterly.

"Why don't you not only not prepare a congratulatory gift, but also let you make lunch, so you let your sister-in-law go out is a dead person, she can't cook a meal, our family has a happy event today and has to ask you to stay and make lunch" Li Manjiang was even more angry.

"I, my sister-in-law said she was not feeling well," Li Manhong stammered.

"It's really too deceitful, my little sister won't leave today, follow my brother to the town for the New Year, I want to see if they can eat without you at home" Li Manjiang is really angry for his little sister.

"If you want to stay, you also stay here as my eldest brother, it just so happens that Dalang has moved to a new house, and I am spacious here, and my little sister and two children will stay with me for a good New Year.

Let's go, let's not talk about this for now, let's get them some food first, both children are hungry.

Li Manshan said that he knew that the third brother's house in the town was not big, and if the three younger sisters went and it was inconvenient to live, the third brother and sister would definitely be unhappy, so he said that he would stay at his own house.

Li Mantun saw that his little sister was coming, so he sent a child who was playing outside to the new house to talk to Tian.

It was a lively time in the new house, and when Tian heard that his sister-in-law was coming, he said, "Oh, Manhong is here, I'll go and have a look." ” "My sister-in-law is here, I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time, I'll go and see it too, and my sister-in-law will wait for me to bring my aunt and them to see you."

Li Qingxiu hasn't seen her sister-in-law for a long time, and she wants to follow and take a look.

These villagers in the house were too enthusiastic, Ruoyun was a little overwhelmed, and when he heard that Li Qingxiu was leaving, he hurriedly followed out.

Leaving Mama Liu, Hu and Fang to help Hu Shaomei entertain guests.

Several people went out and were taken to an empty wing room by Li Mantun.

It is said that it is an empty wing room, but in fact, it is not used today, the furniture is quite complete, the furniture left by the original owner's house, Mama Liu let people pick up the good ones and stay, and added a few things to arrange two side rooms, which are reserved for use when a guest comes.

When I entered the house, I saw Li Manhongniang and the three of them roasting around a brazier, and this brazier was also brought by Li Manshan to Li Qingmu.

Tian looked at the sister-in-law, mother and son, who were in rags, described as thin, and almost burst into tears.

The current emperor is a wise monarch, governing the country in a good way, although people can't live a rich and noble life, but as long as they are willing to work hard, food and clothing can still be guaranteed, it is really difficult to see such shabby and embarrassed people like my sister-in-law.

Even Ruoyun was surprised, they had seen a lot of warm and cold people all the way from the capital to Suzhou, and Li Manhong's current appearance was really no less than the beggars they had seen.

The only difference is that Li Manhong cleaned up relatively cleanly, and his hair was combed neatly, while the beggar blamed him for being dirty, and he didn't comb his head and face and wash it.

Tian Shi gathered his thoughts, and said with a smile on his face: "Man Hong, how many of your mothers are here, sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for three years."

"The last time Li Manshan married Lin, Li Manhong sent news that she was sick and didn't come, only three years ago when Li Da's mother died, she came once.

"Second sister-in-law, Xiu'er, you are here, Dongying and Dongping are coming to see your second aunt and your sister Xiu'er."

Li Manhong saw that the Daotian clan and several people were leaving, and quickly stood up.

Fang Dongying and Fang Dongping also stood up and said, "Second aunt is good, sister Xiu'er is good" "Okay, okay, sit down, sit down, it's all a family politeness, you guys are in a hurry."

Tian hurriedly asked a few people to sit down, thinking that the Fang family would not send a few ox carts to this mother, and it was hard enough for a few people to go hungry for two villages in winter. s: Today's second watch, dear friends, dear ones, good night aa2705221:
