Chapter 71, Neighbor Shumei

Sister Ting knew better and whispered in Sister Ying's ear, "My grandmother said that all the embroidery money that Sister Shumei sold was used by her grandmother to buy meat for her grandson to eat. Sister Shumei couldn't even take a bite. Didn’t get it.”

Speaking of this, Sister Ting was very angry.

“She just uses Sister Shumei as a money-making tool, huh, I’m not ashamed of myself.”

Sister Ying nodded, sharing her hatred, "Yes, I am not ashamed."

Take the money as you want, buy the meat but not give it to Sister Shumei to eat, it makes me mad to death.

They themselves were aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, it was a family matter.

They were squatting on the ground talking quietly when Shumei came out.

She was obviously kicked out and didn’t even have enough to eat.

When Sister Ying saw this, she couldn't help but take her home to eat bacon rice.

Shumei originally said she didn't want it, but the three of them couldn't help it and pulled her over together.

After arriving at Wu's house, Mrs. Wu served Shumei a bowl of bacon rice, and they ate and chatted here.

Shumei was quite embarrassed to come and eat for free. She hurriedly wanted to go back, but was held back by Sister Ying.

“Sister Shumei, let’s eat and let’s chat.”

Shumei also likes them very much. It's better to be shy.

Sister Ying asked her, "Did Sister Shumei sell the embroidery last month?"

Last time she went to see Shumei, she showed off a very beautiful picture of roses. It looked very high-end at first glance, so she thought she had sold it for a lot of money.

She is very talented in showmanship. She was able to show off flowers with a needle at the age of three, and she is even better now.

That pair of plum roses did sell for a lot of money.

Sister Ying asked her, "What about the money? Did you give it all to your grandmother?"

Shumei sighed, "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to grab it."

Their family had many daughters-in-law. Because her mother gave birth to four daughters, she became the most unpopular daughter-in-law in the family. She was not welcomed by her grandmother, and she and her younger sisters were also not welcomed by her grandmother.

No matter how much money she earns, it will be taken away and nothing will be left.

The old lady used all the money to buy things for her other grandchildren, leaving nothing for the four sisters.

After hearing this, Sister Ting said angrily, "Why are you so stupid that you won't keep some secretly? You look thin. You will become ugly in the future, but you won't be able to get married."

Shumei was really panicked when she heard this.

“Are you really thin?”

She was also afraid that if she couldn't get married, it would be even more difficult for her family.

When Sister Ting saw this, she said, "Of course, you are too thin. The fat girls next door are heavier than you. You can't skip meals all the time, otherwise your back will grow bigger, your cheeks will be fleshless, and you will look like an old woman." How scary."

Sister Ying also said, "Yes, and girls have to save a dowry. If you don't have a dowry, you will be looked down upon by your husband's family in the future. So Sister Shumei remember to secretly hide some money for embroidery."

After Shumei heard this, she nodded seriously.

"You are right. My mother also said that a girl must have a dowry so that she can have the confidence to go to her husband's family."

It seems that she will have to hide some money secretly in the future, otherwise, people will not marry her without any money.

Sister Ting and Sister Ying looked at each other and felt relieved when they saw that she had listened.

After they finished chatting, Shumei smiled and said thank you to them and went back.

And it’s time for Sister Ying and the others to go to school.

Mrs. Wu sent them over, stood and chatted with her sisters-in-law for a few words, and then went back holding her belly.

The afternoon lessons were still about the cultural knowledge that the boys had learned, and Sister Ying also listened carefully.

Anyway, it’s good to learn a little bit.

Sister Ting and Sister Jiao were dizzy after hearing it, but they also found it interesting. After returning home, they imitated the words of the adults at home and recited all the poems they had learned to show off. Liang Jin also asked Sister Ying in the evening, "What did you learn in class today?"

Sister Ying took a bite of the marinated elbow and sighed, "We have just started, and it's really difficult to listen to the teacher's lecture on the Four Books."

It's like being in kindergarten but listening to junior high school classes. Isn't it difficult?

Liang Jin laughed loudly after hearing this, but he also explained the Four Books to her seriously.

Seeing her father's detailed explanation, Sister Ying listened carefully.

Liang Jin saw that she was a little enlightened and continued to teach.

In the end, Mrs. Liang told Liang Jin to study hard and stop playing around with the children all day long.

Liang Jin was ashamed and explained, "I am discussing a topic with Sister Ying. How can I be fooling around?"

But in the eyes of Mrs. Liang, taking care of her child is just playing nonsense. She is not allowed to play, and she even calls him, "Let your wife come and play with her while you study for me."

Liang Jin had no choice but to let Sister Ying go out.

Wu’s belly is getting bigger and bigger now, but she doesn’t feel any discomfort.

She suffered from severe morning sickness in the early days, but became more energetic later on.

Looking at the delivery date, it will be almost next month.

Sister Ying does not dare to bother her mother to carry her now, she has to go alone.

But Mrs. Wu still loved her as always. She would wash her hair and bathe her every day, dress her in beautiful clothes, and tie the hairpins on her head in different ways.

Perhaps after giving birth to a daughter, she wanted to dress her up beautifully all the time. Mrs. Wu has always been very active in dressing up her daughter.

Sometimes Mrs. Liang couldn't stand it and said something about Wu, "She is a piece of shit. She goes out to play wildly after eating every day. What are you doing wearing such beautiful clothes? Be careful of getting them damaged."

Mrs. Wu quickly said no, "She's not dirty either. Even the soles of her shoes are a little dirty, but her body is quite clean."

Old Mrs. Liang dared to talk back to her when she saw that she was pregnant. She snorted and went back to the house to complain to Grandma Xu.

“Now that I’m pregnant, you dare to talk back to me, huh.”

After hearing this, Grandma Xu laughed, "What they said is right. Sister Ying is very clean all year round. The soles of her shoes are just a little dirty when she runs around. She doesn't even have a runny nose."

Some children may wipe their noses with their sleeves or just wipe them with the back of their hands.

Their sister Ying eats a lot and is in good physical condition. She rarely has a runny nose. Even if she has a runny nose, she wipes it with a handkerchief and washes it after she comes back. What a clean child.

Mrs. Liang thought about it and realized that it was the same, so forget it.

She is now looking forward to giving birth to a grandson from the Wu family, so that the Liang family can have an heir.

Mother Xu is also looking forward to it.

“Just wait, the delivery date will be next month. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. Both the left and right will be our children, right?”

This is giving Mrs. Liang a vaccination.

Old Mrs. Liang didn’t know what to do with her, but she also hoped for a grandson, so that she could be worthy of the old man.

Next month, Mrs. Wu’s delivery will be within a few days, and the whole family is very nervous.

Mr. Wu herself is not afraid, after all, she has already given birth to one.

But the family is quite unsure because production is a big deal.

Sister Ying also became nervous.

After all, the medical conditions here are still relatively poor, and anything that happens can scare people to death.

Fortunately, the family has already found a midwife who is good at delivering babies in advance and is on standby at any time.

Mrs. Liang also hopes that this pregnancy will lead to a male child, so that the Liang family will have an heir.
