The old lady shook her head, "That's not true. There are so many people these days. I don't know what's wrong. And there are people who come here for dinner. It's really troublesome for your fourth sister-in-law to order food every day. But that's fine, your fourth sister-in-law When I get busy, I don't think about my fourth child so much, and I fall asleep after touching the pillow every night when I come back."

Niang Hui smiled softly, and replied, "Sister-in-law Si is so kind, she has a craft and can support herself."

The old lady was afraid that she would feel sorry for herself, so she said, "You are also skilled. I see your embroidery work is very good. After you get well in the future, I will accompany you to find an embroidery shop in the city. Do some embroidery work. It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, just killing your time will save you from thinking about it all day long."

That's what Hui Niang thought, and when she heard the old lady say it, she shook the old lady's hand to thank her.

"Thank you, auntie, for planning so much for me."

The old lady patted her hand and said with a smile, "Don't think so well of my aunt, I also have selfish intentions. Listen to Mr. Yan... No, I heard from Li Yong, are you born as a lady? I'm thinking, wait for your health After raising it, teach us Fu Niu on weekdays, whether it is reading, embroidering or other etiquette rules. In short, help me take care of this child. It doesn't matter to our family, but this girl has a adoptive father like Lord Hou, so she can't It's a joke, it's a joke!"

"Don't worry, Auntie, this is easy, I will definitely teach Niuniu everything I know."

Hui Niang agreed immediately, she was extremely grateful to the Li family for taking her in, and she liked Fu Niu's cuteness and intelligence even more.

Taking a step back, she now relies on the Li family to make a living, and to be a lady husband for Fu Niu, so she has more confidence.

Having said that, Mrs. Li asked a few more words, "Hui Niang, you are at the mine to take care of your father. Now that you are here, what should your father do? And your mother's family. send a message?"

Madam Hui smiled bitterly, "Auntie, my father is not in good health. Even if I take care of food and clothing by my side, life is not as easy as before. It was cold last winter, and my father's condition worsened, and he gradually failed. up.

"At that time, I just made up my mind with my husband. My husband has been helping to find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but he said to prepare for the funeral. Then my husband asked my father to marry me, and my father agreed. Not a few days after we got married, the old man passed away. gone."

The old lady was stunned when she heard that, originally she thought that Niang Hui and his wife were giving and receiving privately, but from this point of view, it was justifiable, after all, she had the permission of Niang Hui's father and did not break the rules.

Jiayin was also fascinated by it, lying on grandma's lap, grabbed a handful of beans and played with it.

Huiniang saw the old lady's expression and sighed softly.

"As for my natal family, once something happened to my father, my mother took her two younger brothers back to my grandparents' house. She never sent anyone to visit her, nor gave her a penny. I...don't want to contact them anymore! "

The old lady nodded, "Your mother is indeed too ruthless and ungrateful. Even if you are angry with your father for making mistakes and burdening the whole family, you are always her own daughter, right? Why don't you worry about whether you will be bullied in the mine? "

Hui Niang hesitated for a moment, then added, "My biological mother is my father's first wife, and my current mother is a second wife."

"No wonder!" The old lady grinned, becoming more and more sympathetic, "You child is really miserable!"

Hui Niang's eyes were red, but she still smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not bitter. On the contrary, I think my fate is very good, and I married a good husband. Although he acts impulsively and occasionally acts like a child, he treats me with sincerity. I have to wait for him to come back!"

"Hey, that's right! You're such a smart girl, and my aunt likes it, so that's how it should be! At any time, we have to look for the better!"

Seeing that the old lady was happy, Madam Hui mentioned another thing, "Auntie, is there any widowed or solitary old lady in the village? I want... to move out. Auntie has many children at home and is already very tired. I am here. I feel sorry for adding more work to my aunt and sister-in-law."

Mrs. Li didn't react, she still wanted to keep someone.

It happened that the second brother Li came in from the outside and said loudly in the main room, "Mother, the valley is very busy. The fourth sibling can't come back. Let mother cook to deal with it at noon."

"Hey, I got it!" Mrs. Li responded, and Li's second child immediately turned around and left.

Mrs. Li looked at her son's back from the window, and suddenly understood.

Niang Hui is trying to avoid suspicion!

Think about it carefully, the second child just passed away his wife, the eldest should be back in two or three months.

Niang Hui lives here, it is really inconvenient to come in and out.

It's just that everyone in the village is familiar with it, and no one is gossiping, so it's not good after all.

"Auntie understands, Madam Hui, don't worry, Auntie will figure out a good place for you in the next few days. Take good care of your body and don't think too much about it."

"Okay, Auntie." Hui Niang felt relieved and smiled even more gently.

Jiayin likes this master very much, and started thinking about it while she was resting on her grandma's lap.

In fact, Mrs. Cui's house next door has many rooms, so it's best to borrow one.

But Mrs. Cui is not around on weekdays, and Niang Hui is pregnant, if there is a bump, no one will be by her side, so she is always worried.

It's even worse with the adoptive father, who invites gossip even more than at home.

After thinking about it, it really reminded her of a good place, that is the village chief's grandfather's house.

There are three rooms in the village chief's house, and the old couple live in one end, leaving one room free.

Niang Hui lived in the past, and she was with the old couple on weekdays. Even Dr. Zhang lived in the yard next door one wall away, so she felt very safe.

While Hui Niang went to pour some water, she quickly whispered in Grandma's ear.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded her granddaughter's forehead, "You have really grown up with your heart."

After dinner in the evening, the old lady went out for a stroll, then abducted to the village chief's house, chatted with the village chief's wife, and when she came back, her face was beaming.

Jiayin knew it was done when she saw it, so she felt relieved to follow her brothers to the Westinghouse to play.

The school has already started, and the brats have been playing like crazy for almost a month during the Chinese New Year. As a result, more than half of the quiz was burned on the first day.

So, sitting at the kang table at the moment, writing big characters and reciting texts, each of them has a bitter face, scratching their ears and cheeks, like a chained monkey.

Jiayin hugged a fruit and gnawed on it, looking here and making trouble there, which made the brothers scream even more.

In the end, it was Tao Hongying who heard the noise and came over, rescued her son and nephews, picked up her daughter, and slapped her reproachfully, "What are you being naughty, disturbing your brothers' studies!"

Jiayin grinned, put her arms around her mother's neck, winked and made faces with her brothers, and the boys were so angry that they wanted to return a few faces, but the pen in their hand accidentally scratched a large character, and had to write a new article!

Tao Hongying took her daughter into the east room, and Hui Niang took the embroidery thread, teased Jiayin, and taught her how to tie a lock.

Tao Hongying tore apart a piece of soft cotton cloth, joined hands with the old lady, and cut a few sets of small clothes for the baby in Madam Hui's womb.

I estimated that the child was born around September, and it was a little bit cold at that time, so I made clothes out of muslin cloth, which were just right for me to wear indoors.

While she was busy, she complained to her mother-in-law, "Mother, the valley is becoming more and more like a tavern. The guests who came recently came here to eat, not to soak in the hot spring!"
