She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 198 The Shen Family Sends New Year Gifts

Xiaoyang woke up when the child was put on the kang, but fell asleep again after being coaxed by Luo Meihua.

I think the child was really tired. He was carried all the way back without even waking up.

"How was your day? Have you bought everything?" Niu Li asked happily. Seeing that they were very tired, she hurriedly poured them a bowl of warm water.

Gu Qingqing didn't even have time to answer at this moment. She took the bowl and drank the water in one breath.

He raised his hand to wipe the water marks on his mouth, and then he said, "Aunt, we have spent all the two taels of silver, so you don't have to worry about it now. Buy Meihua a piece of jewelry, and the rest are fabrics and clothes. You will know what they are when you bring them back."

"It's good to buy things, but they are all in your car?" Niu Li saw Gu Qingqing nod, and hurriedly said, "Meihua, you rest at home, I'll go get the things."

On the other side, Wen Wuyan and a few others were walking towards home. Before they reached the door, Dahei rushed towards them from the direction of the cabin. Erhua went up and put his arms around Dahei's neck, then hung on Dahei's body, and he became silent instantly.

Dahua, who was following closely, hurriedly shouted to Wen Wuyan, "Dad, look, Erhua is sleeping on Dahei."

Niu Yuzhu hurriedly caught the shaft of the cart. After Wen Wuyan was able to let go, he immediately ran to Dahei, who was too frightened to move, and picked up Erhua.

"Brother Wuyan, please send Erhua back to the house first. Uncle Yang is here. He can help me push the cart a little bit, and then we will be home," said Niu Yuzhu, who was in charge of pulling the cart, to Wen Wuyan.

After Gu Qingqing and Niu Li came over, she first helped take the food and all the things back home, and Gu Qingqing handed the things that belonged to Meihua to her.

When she found out that there were clothes for herself and the old man in there, she couldn't help but sigh again.

After returning home, Luo Meihua took out the clothes she bought for her parents-in-law and said, "Mom, I think this red sandalwood dress looks good on you, so I bought it. And this navy blue dress is for Dad. You and Dad can try it on to see if it fits you."

Niu Li said excitedly and complained, "You are my child. I asked you to buy some things for yourself. Why did you buy clothes for us two old people? And you bought such fine silk and satin. It would cost a lot of money. How could we farmers afford to wear such clothes?"

Although Niu Li was talking, the joy in her eyes and the way her fingers gently stroked her clothes all showed the happiness in her heart.

Luo Meihua was also happy to see that her mother-in-law liked it very much, and then she said, "Why are you reluctant to wear it? You can't just keep it in the bottom of the box."

"Wear it. Your father and I will wear it in a few days. It's a good opportunity to show your aunts that we Meihua buy things in a proper manner." After Niu Li said this, she noticed that the clothes Meihua bought for the child, her and Yuzhu were all made of coarse cloth.

He couldn't help but blame her again, simply asking why she didn't buy something nice for him.

Then Meihua told Xiaoyang about how she decided to buy the best earrings for her. "Buy them. Xiaoyang is our dearest. Only if we treat her well, her in-laws won't look down on her when she gets married."

.......

That night, Gu Qingqing made a pot of noodle dumpling soup, and after eating, the family went to bed early.

The next morning, Gu Qingqing looked at the three strips of smoked meat hanging from the beams of the kitchen and muttered to Wen Wuyan, "Let's buy some more meat. We don't lack this little money now. I love meat, and the children also need meat to grow."

"Okay, I heard that the pigs of Old Wang's family in the west of the village will be slaughtered in the next two days. I will go over and say hello to them and ask them to leave us a certain amount of pigs." Wen Wuyan asked at last.

"We only have about 12 or 13 kilograms of pigs right now, and there's also the pig head that Auntie sent over. How about buying another 20 kilograms and I'll pickle it and put it in the cellar so it won't go bad until next summer, and it'll be convenient for us to eat at home."

"to make!"

Erhua, who was playing nearby, had the sharpest ears. When he heard that his family needed to buy more meat, he smiled with his broken teeth showing, "Mom, does that mean we can eat meat every day in the future?"

"You can eat it every day if you want."

Gu Qingqing's heroic answer caused Erhua to howl like crazy in the yard.

It seemed that being happy alone was not enough, so he rushed to the east wing to tell his sister, then ran to the front yard to tell Daxin, and even wanted to tell Dahei.

But when Dahei saw her now, he felt like he saw a resentful creature and ran away with his tail between his legs.

At noon, Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing said goodbye to everyone and prepared to go to the village.

"Dad, I'm going too." Erhua wanted to follow when he saw this.

As a result, Gu Qingqing saw the father and daughter go out. She was busy for a while and was about to go back to the house to feed Sanhua. Then she heard Erhua's voice outside the door again, "Mom, mom, where are you? Uncle Shen is here, Uncle Shen is here."

Gu Qingqing paused, not realizing who the Uncle Shen that Erhua was talking about was.

Until Erhua's voice was heard again, "Mom, Uncle Shen is here to give us New Year gifts."

"New Year's gift?" Gu Qingqing repeated to herself, and suddenly she said "Huh", she seemed to know who it was.

"I'm coming." Gu Qingqing responded to Erhua while walking quickly along the corridor towards the front yard.

Almost as soon as she reached the door, Wen Wuyan and Manager Shen had also arrived, with a carriage following behind them.

Gu Qingqing stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically, "Manager Shen, why are you here today?"

Then she saw sacks tied to the horse's hooves to prevent slipping, and smiled and said, "The snow on the road is thick, it must be difficult to walk all the way, right?"

After hearing this, Manager Shen laughed and said, "It's not that hard to walk. Yesterday, people from the farm came to our house, and the road over there was even harder to walk on."

"Wuyan, please invite Manager Shen into the house to rest and drink some hot tea. They have worked hard on the way here." Gu Qingqing smiled and made way.

"Hahaha, don't worry. I brought some meat for you in the car. Yesterday, the farm sent meat to our house, and my wife asked me about your family's situation. I learned that you don't even have a single animal, and you have to buy food and drink for your living expenses. Now that the New Year is coming to an end, the farm slaughtered the pigs, and asked me to send some to you, as well as some lotus roots stored on the farm."

"Manager Shen, how can we do this? There are more people in the Shen family, so just keep it for yourself. Qingqing and I have already bought ten pounds of meat from the village. Look, they said they would buy some more later. This is enough for us to eat for a while." Wen Wuyan said hurriedly when he heard that someone was here to deliver meat.

"Yes, we have a few chickens in the backyard waiting to be killed and eaten during the New Year. Mrs. Shen has taken extra care of us on weekdays, so how can we afford to take in more?" Gu Qingqing also chimed in.

As a result, Steward Shen waved his hand disapprovingly and continued, "What's yours is yours. Didn't Mr. Wen just say that there is not enough meat at home and they are preparing to buy some. I was right about that. You have to buy whatever you want to eat. These are also raised by the people in the farm, and the mansion doesn't care about that. In addition, there are oranges shipped from the south of the Yangtze River in the carriage. Let the children at home have a taste." After Steward Shen finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the carriage covered with cloth behind him.

Gu Qingqing looked fine when she heard about pork, but then she heard about citrus as well?

Is this okay?

The first image in her mind was a TV series she had watched in her previous life. Yu Jin said: These are oranges shipped from Lingnan. There were ten boatloads of them. They were sold out as soon as they arrived. Many people couldn’t get any. Fortunately, my father made a reservation in advance, so we can have this treat.

Listen, his father is a marquis of the current dynasty, but he still has to go through so much trouble to order oranges in advance. Now, the Shen family not only sends them meat, but also oranges.

Who knew how much effort it took for someone to get this, and yet they actually gave it to them? This really shows a great gift and a great sentiment.

Gu Qingqing immediately stepped forward and said, "Manager Shen, we accepted the meat, but the fruits at this time of year are too expensive. Madam Shen has always taken care of us, and we have no way to repay her. Now she has sent us such a valuable gift. This is even more unacceptable."

After hearing what Gu Qingqing said, Manager Shen immediately smiled even more happily. When he came out, his wife specifically told him not to say that these fruits were hard-earned.

Now, Mrs. Wen deliberately refused the fruit even though she knew there was meat.

Wonderful! The wife of the Wen family is becoming more and more insightful!
