"Gui Hua, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Father of the child, have you ever thought that after this year, Autumn Fragrance will be ten years old?"

When Liu Sanguan heard her firm and resolute tone, he felt that something was off.

"I'll go and talk to mom tomorrow."

"If she doesn't agree, what will you do? I, Zhang Guihua, know that my family is poor, and after marrying into your family, I've never complained at all. Mother said that I would do whatever she wants, and I've been in your family for nine years already. But little sister-in-law, look at her, she doesn't look like a peasant girl, her fingers aren't stained by the spring water, and that's fine too. Father and mother are pained by her age, and her body isn't that good, so I'll admit it, and do more, so she won't die. But look at her cotton dress, it costs at least a hundred pieces of gold to make a set for her every year, and what about them? "Ever since I was born, I have never made a new set of clothes."

More accurately, it was Zhang Guihua who had removed Liu Sangui's torn clothes, sewing for Liu Qiuxiang to wear, Liu Dao Xiang could not even pick up Liu Qiuxiang's clothes, while Liu Dao Xiang could not, she had already patched up a lot of clothes, was it for Liu Chunxiang who was preparing to wear or not.

Liu Sanguan thought about it and felt a lump in his throat. He also wanted his wife and children to live a good life, but other than going to work, he had no other skills.

"But all the money in the family is in mother's hands, not to mention that Fourth Brother wants to study. Since we're married, I will marry him in the future."

These words caused Zhang Gui Hua to be dissatisfied, her mind was only thinking about Liu Dao Xiang's words. Thinking back to how she had been married for all these years, Liu San Gui had always put filial piety before anything, so towards Liu Qi's request, he had never refused.

"Liu Sanguan, do you still have any of our mothers in your heart?"

Zhang Guihua had been enduring for many years, but she had never thought too much about it. She only thought that she should work hard to make her mother-in-law happy, so that her child could feel better.

But she was wrong now, she had been wrong from the start.

Mrs Liu Qi was a very selfish and heartless person. She wouldn't change her mind just for the sake of Zhang Guihua and Liu Sangui working hard. On the contrary, she had always taken it for granted that the couple would work hard.

"What are you saying? Why don't I care less about you guys? If not, after you and Dao Xiang have suffered, I will go and beg mother to give me some white rice."

"Hmph, isn't that what you should get? Haven't you worked with me in this house enough all these years? Even if we go to the landlord's house to sell the living contract, we can raise our child better. "

"Stop talking, it's not like you don't know. Our mother really doesn't like the landlords in the town. She said that they have never seen such a great fortune before."

Zhang Guihua was so angry by him that she punched him in the chest and cried, "Then what do you think we should do? Even if we have to work in this house for the rest of our lives, don't expect Qiu Xiang and the others to get a good dowry. Do you want your own daughters to live miserable lives like me?"

If it wasn't for the fact that her dowry wasn't dignified enough, how could she not have stood up straight in front of her mother-in-law and her two sister-in-law?

She had made it clear that she did not want her daughters to repeat her hopeless days.

"I know what you're thinking. Father and mother would never agree to a branch family." Liu Sangui felt that his mouth was filled with a bitter taste that was even more bitter than the yellow lotus.

"Humph, then tell me, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, how did they get along so well? Also, why haven't they gotten their money back yet? Furthermore, Eldest Uncle even sent someone to bring home a carriage of rice grain each year. Could it be that he wouldn't be able to raise his own wife and children? Second Uncle was the same as well. Fourth Uncle had used money to study, which one of them didn't depend on the output of the fields to earn money to repair? Has second uncle ever had a copperplate before? "

"Didn't Big Brother and Second Brother send gifts to Father and Mother on holidays?" Liu Sangui didn't know why Zhang Guihua would be so angry.

Zhang Guihua scolded angrily, "Ha! Those gifts are not something they look down upon themselves. Only my parents are considered treasures. Also, these fields are all served by you and me. Why can't my daughter wear them and eat them?"

Liu Dao Xiang's previous words had really woken Zhang Guihua up. As a mother, she was strong, but she was also a child. Why would she work so hard for this family?

"Hmph, other than them pulling two pieces of cloth at a time and giving them two pastries, what else do they have? There's even less of a need to talk about brother-in-law, the moment he came back, all he knew was that he was going to ask for money from dad and mom. "

He had asked Liu Qi before, but Liu Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Girls always pay money to live, it's a good idea to let them live. I was hoping that she could use the money on these losers."

She told Liu Sangui that she would not be able to bring this money back to the coffin even if she had to desperately steal it. In the future, she would leave it for the brothers and the descendants of the Liu family.

"You also know that I grew up in front of my grandma and grandpa. Dad and mom are closer to my big brother and second brother."

His words were filled with helplessness and desire for his parents' affection, but Liu Qi never treated him as his son, which was something he clearly understood in his heart. However, he didn't have a better way, so he could only work even harder, hoping that Liu Qi could see that he was actually the most filial son.

"How long have you been filial? Ten years, twenty years? It's almost there, isn't it? How, mother saw your filial piety? Did Father see your sense? Also, if the girls in your family are able to earn money and you dare to have ideas about the money in their hands, hmph, I will go with you and Li, and take my girls back to my parents' home. Don't tell me you're reluctant to part with it, but if you really want to, then your family will have to face injustice with a bowl of water. "Don't forget, you're not just the son of your parents, you're also the father of all your daughters. There's only one father, and you're not the only son."

It had to be said that Liu Dao Xiang's glib tongue had moved Zhang Guihua.

"He Li? Gui Hua, what are you saying?

"What else can we do if we don't reconcile? Just wait for the hard-earned money from all the hard work of the children to get you to take it to your mother, and then let your mother take it to buy clothes for your sister-in-law and your sister-in-law to wear. Why? This is the money my daughters make. "

Even though Zhang Gui Hua did not say anything, she had a plan in her mind. It was just that she had been suppressed by Liu Qi over the years, and since she could not hold herself back, she could only endure it. Liu Dao Xiang's recent performance had indeed exceeded expectations, but at the same time, he had blown the fire spark that Zhang Gui Hua had buried in her heart awake.

In these two days, Liu Qi ordered the Liu sisters to go around, and when Liu Xiaolan wasn't embroidering, she had gone out to play, which made Zhang Guihua even more furious.

She saw that Liu Sangui was silent for a moment, and then she said: "What's more, look which family is similar to ours? Which girl didn't take out some money to buy a flower for herself? "If you dare to have any ideas about their money, I will invite you to the hall and take my daughters back to their parents' homes without a second word. It would be a great favor to you to eat the food of your Liu family."

It had to be said that Zhang Guihua and Liu Qi had lived together under the same roof for over ten years, and they had long seen through the falsity of Liu Qi's character.

Don't be angry, let's talk nicely, I won't leave you, and don't even think about inviting yourself to the hall, if your girls really earn copperplate, I'll pretend I didn't know, but you have to tell them, don't let Mother see.

He did not understand why his wife would suddenly come up with such a thought when it was night time and why she was still fine. Furthermore, he had been working all day and was extremely tired. After comforting Zhang Guihua a few times, he soon started snoring.

Zhang Guihua turned her head to look at him, sighed, then quietly turned over and lifted up the torn cotton blanket that was hard and black under the quilt, then reached out to the straw bed that was under the quilt for a while, and finally found a small bag with lotus leaf packets. This was the red sugar that Liu Dao Xiang had secretly bought from the town that day.

The brown sugar was very nourishing for the girls who had just finished giving birth, it could also help them recover their bodies, remove lochia, and increase their milk secretion. However, Liu Dao Xiang was unable to tell Zhang Guihua about this, and could only use the excuse that she had heard it from the old lady in the village.

Zhang Guihua drank the brown sugar water quietly for two days and felt that her spirit had improved quite a bit. Furthermore, the dirty blood had also improved quite a bit. Most importantly, her third daughter was finally able to eat milk.
