Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhang was cooking while Liu Tangxi set fire to the side.

I have used flint before, and now Liu Tangxi is very familiar with starting a fire, and it will be fine after a few strokes.

After the cauldron was on fire, Mr. Zhang began to add water to the cauldron, wash rice and cook porridge.

After everything was done, Liu Tangxi led the fire to the small stove next to him.

After the vegetables were stewed, the only sound in the kitchen could be heard of the porridge, the stew, and the firewood burning at the bottom of the pot.

Looking at the flames at the bottom of the pot, Liu Tangxi suddenly found something unusual today, and it seemed that it was quieter.

Soon, Liu Tangxi discovered the problem.

Zhang's is not the same as before.

Although Mr. Zhang is usually a taciturn character, he seems to be extraordinarily silent today.

Several times, when Liu Tangxi saw Mrs. Zhang looking at her, she raised her head and looked over. However, Mrs Zhang quickly turned her eyes away and did not speak.

After a few times, Liu Tangxi understood more or less.

"Sister-in-law, do you have something to tell me?"

Zhang Shi and Wei Hanzhou are different.

She had a good impression of Mrs. Zhang. She didn't want the other party to have anything to say, and she didn't know how long they would spend together in the future. It was better to resolve any conflicts in time.

"That..." Mr. Zhang hesitated for a while, glanced at Liu Tangxi, pursed his lips, and seemed to want to say something. However, after opening his mouth, he closed it again.

"Nothing." Zhang Shi denied.

Liu Tangxi frowned.

Seeing that the fire at the bottom of the pot was getting smaller, Liu Tangxi brought some firewood from the side and slowly filled it to the bottom of the pot.

Listening to the crackling sound of matches burning from the bottom of the pot, Liu Tangxi fell into thought.

Something must have happened.

But she didn't know what was going on.

After a while, Mrs Zhang reminded: "The porridge is ready, the third siblings don't need to add firewood."

"Ah? Oh." Liu Tangxi came back to his senses.

At this time, the voice of Zhou's goddaughter came from the yard: "Fuyao, you can't run around any more. Yesterday, you agreed. From today, your third aunt will teach you embroidery."

"Mother, I'll play first and then learn in the afternoon." Fuyao retorted.

"How old are you, you still go out to play. Look, there are several girls as old as you in the whole Weijia Village playing outside? The girls from other families have already helped the family cook, wash, and feed the pigs. I tell you , don't make the old lady angry, don't think about going out today."

Wei Fuyao muttered a few more words, but Liu Tangxi didn't understand what he said.

Afterwards, Mrs. Li went to persuade him a few words.

At this time, Liu Tangxi heard Zhang's sigh, and the deep envy in his eyes.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Liu Tangxi's mind.

She suddenly thought of what Zhou said yesterday, as well as the words of Li and Zhang, and had a guess in her heart.

"Sister-in-law wants Shulan to study together?" Liu Tangxi asked directly.

Zhang Shi was stunned at first, and soon, he asked uncertainly, "This... is this okay?"

She is not as brainy as Zhou, and she never thought of letting Liu Tangxi teach her daughter. However, after Zhou shi brought it up, she was also a little moved.

In this world, there is no parent who doesn't love their daughter and doesn't think about her daughter's future.

"Teaching one is also teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. As long as my sister-in-law is willing to hand Shulan to me, I have no problem." Liu Tangxi said half-jokingly.

After getting a definite answer, Mrs. Zhang gradually showed a smile on her face, and said a little excitedly: "Thank you three younger siblings, your elder brother and I both thank you. When Shulan grows up, I will make her honor you well. "

"What did my sister-in-law say? It's just that Shu Lan is still young, only three years old. I just don't know if my sister-in-law cares for her." Liu Tangxi said.

Mrs. Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I really can't bear to let her learn at such a young age, for fear that she will pierce her hands and hurt her eyes. However, I heard that girls from big families also learn embroidery since childhood, not only embroidery, but also embroidery. It seems that I have to learn something else. If I feel sorry for her at this moment, she will not know anything like me in the future, and the in-law's family is hard to find, then it will really hurt her. "

Mr. Zhang knew very well that his little skill in embroidery was just to make ends meet, and Liu Tangxi's exquisite skills were handed down from his ancestors.

"Sister-in-law is serious, her third uncle is a scholar, she can always find a good husband." Liu Tangxi was relieved.

In the future, as long as Wei Hanzhou doesn't fight against the male protagonist, his future will be limitless. As his niece, he will definitely be a good wife.

But Mrs. Zhang said, "It's better to rely on yourself after all. If she learns a craft, she won't be hungry in the future. When she gets married in the future, her husband's family will look at her highly."

Listening to Mr. Zhang's words, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will teach you well." Liu Tangxi said seriously.

"Thank you three younger siblings." Mrs Zhang said with a smile.

Then, Liu Tangxi found out that the Wei family treated her better.

After the meal, she wanted to wash the dishes, but Li refused.

It's just that she didn't have any purpose in teaching Fuyao and Shulan, and since Mrs. Li was an elder, how could she have the nerve to let the old man wash the dishes. Li was tired enough to take care of Wei's third child, and she didn't dare to bother her.

"Mother, you've worked hard enough to take care of your father. Let's leave this little thing to your daughter-in-law."

Then, it was snatched by Zhou again.

"Third siblings, this should be my job. I'll do it. Sister-in-law has offended many a few days ago. I hope you don't mind."

Zhou Shi had a big belly, how could Liu Tangxi let her go to work

"Second sister-in-law is heavy, I'm not tired."

Finally, Mrs. Zhang also came.

Liu Tangxi circled the bowl in front of him and said quickly, "Sister-in-law, don't rob me. I know that you will have to work in the fields for a while, so hurry up and rest for a while. I'm fine with me, you can do this kind of small work. Don't rob me. Shulan is so cute, I will definitely teach her well, and it won't cost me anything to teach them."

Mrs. Zhang really meant this. Seeing that Liu Tangxi had pointed out her thoughts, she clasped her hands together with an embarrassed look on her face.

After washing the dishes, Liu Tangxi went to clean the yard again.

The chickens and pigs have been fed by Zhou.

Liu Tangxi went in and cleaned up again.

After everything was done, Fu Yao and Shu Lan were already waiting.

Fuyao and Shulan definitely couldn't use the needles, threads and cloths they brought back from the shop. Mrs. Li found two pieces of cloth for them, as well as some thread for sewing clothes at home.

After Mrs. Li fed Wei's third child the medicine, he came out to have a look. Seeing the two granddaughters study seriously, Li was very satisfied.

Thinking of the rumors he heard in the village recently, after watching for a while, Mrs. Li turned around and walked towards the village after thinking that there was nothing to do today.

Some things still have to be clarified quickly, and there is a suitable thing right now.

Now that the grain has not yet reached the harvest season, and there is not much work in the fields, many people talk outside after eating.

When everyone saw Mrs. Li coming over, their eyes lit up immediately.

To say what is the most talked about thing in Weijia Village recently, it must be the matter of the third Wei family.

Xiu Cai Lang married a brothel girl and spent 22 taels of silver. It's amazing how it sounds.

Whether it is Li Shi, Liu Tangxi or Wei Hanzhou, they have been talked about for a long time.

Li's evaluation is probably stupid and ignorant, while Liu Tangxi's identity is doubtful. As for Wei Hanzhou... Most of them are sympathetic. After all, there is a stupid mother and a daughter-in-law who is suspected to be from a brothel.

Now that everyone sees people who do this, isn't it exciting

However, the first person to speak to Mrs. Li was Mrs. Xu, the daughter-in-law of Boss Wei.

"Da Niu Niang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Da Niu's body?"

The eldest Wei is the elder brother of the third Wei, and Mrs. Xu is the elder sister-in-law. Now that someone close to me said such a thing, it was really chilling.

They were all in the same village, and my younger brother was ill, so I had to go to see him no matter what.

But since the family of Mr. Wei learned that Mr. Wei was seriously ill, spent a lot of money, and he was dying, the family stopped visiting him at the end of the village.

Without him, he was afraid that the third child Wei would entangle them to borrow money.

Wei Lao San also came to borrow money.

The twenty taels of silver that Mrs. Li took out were money for the scientific examination saved for Wei Hanzhou, so he did not dare to touch it lightly.

It's just that Li Shi and Wei Daniel who came to borrow money were sent away by the old Wei family.

Mrs Xu just focused on chatting and didn't notice Mrs Li coming over. If she had found out earlier, she would have gone home long ago. At this moment, she also stood up from the stone, looking like she was about to leave.

Listening to Xu's words and looking at her actions, Li's heart was very uncomfortable, but thinking of her own intention, she smiled and said, "His father is in good health."

Xu shi just wanted to say that there is still something to go back at home, but she didn't say it when she heard this.

The others were also stunned for a moment. Third Wei is getting better soon? This is impossible, everyone saw it on the day of marriage, and there was not much air in and out. These days, everyone was afraid of bad luck and didn't go to his house to visit.

"True or false? Could it be that what the fortune teller said was true? But wasn't he a liar? All the stalls were smashed, and people were arrested by the government." Someone brought it up.

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Xu, sat down on the stone next to her, and said with a smile, "Of course it's true, the doctor from the town just came to see it yesterday. ."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were different, and they whispered.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Mrs. Li and said a few words: "Hey, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good to be good, Dad Dashan and I are worried every day. Now that his third uncle is good, he can finally rest assured."

Li also followed Xu's words and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother and sister-in-law."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "It should be, everyone is a family."

Li didn't respond to this, but continued: "My third child also said that the fortune-teller was a liar. However, since the third child married his daughter-in-law, his father's illness has been getting better day by day. up."

Hearing that Mr. Li took the initiative to mention Liu Tangxi, everyone's eyes lit up again.

"Your daughter-in-law went to town with Daniu's daughter-in-law a few days ago. She looked good, but she didn't look like a countryman." Someone said euphemistically.

"I didn't expect to be lucky."

"But how did I hear that it came out of that unclean place?"

"It doesn't really come from that place, does it?"

Someone was quick to speak, and couldn't help but ask.

Li Shi immediately turned a sullen face, raised his voice, and said, "How is it possible! No matter how confused I am, it is impossible for me to marry a daughter-in-law like that for the third child."

The third child of her family is a talented person and cannot be involved in such a thing.

She explained it on the day her son got married, but she was so worried that day that she didn't have time to say a few more words.

"But Mother Winter Melon said that she heard that person mention the brothel."

"Winter Melon Girl is too unkind to say something like this, why don't you say everything?" Li continued to retort, "The man did mention it, but the third daughter-in-law hasn't been sold yet. She is a girl from a big family. , I just passed by and saved her that day, and she married my third child in order to repay her kindness."

Li felt that spending 22 taels to buy a girl who was about to be sold into a brothel was completely different from spending 22 taels to save a girl in distress.

Although the thing is the same thing, the latter sounds better.

Moreover, Mrs. Li has been living in the country, so she naturally knows what the country people care about most.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone asked, "Ah? A big family?"

Li said proudly: "Isn't it, she can do everything, embroidery is very good, and she can do a lot every day. I went to town with my eldest daughter-in-law that day, and she made a lot of money from embroidery. What about the money?"

"Wow, how much do you earn per day?"

"Not much, just twenty or thirty texts."

"My God, is this still a cash cow?"

"That's all, she's still generous and kind-hearted. She's teaching Fuyao and Shulan embroidery at home right now."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu stared at Mrs. Li with wide eyes.

"She is willing to teach them?" This is what shocked the people of Weijia Village the most.

There are very few people in the countryside who can embroider, let alone Liu Tangxi, even if Zhang has learned that idea, he will rarely pass it on to outsiders.

"That's not it, she brought it up on her own initiative. She said that she felt sorry for them, and she wanted to teach them everything she knew."

Xu Shi was thoughtful and sat down again.

Everyone looked at Li Shi with particularly hot eyes, and their hearts were a little sour.

Fuyao and Shulan started learning when they were only a few years old. When they got married, wouldn't they have to study for more than ten years

However, envy is envy, and this kind of good thing is not their turn. What if you know it's a cash cow? No one could come up with twenty taels of silver to rescue her.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Xu, then looked at the people present, stood up, and said, "Hey, it's been a long time since I've been out, I have to go back and have a look. These two children don't know if they've studied seriously. , don't waste their third aunt's kindness."

"You have to tell them well, such a good thing is too rare."

"Yes, let's go home."

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Mrs. Li went home. ,,
