    Qingyun County, Mujia Village

    Qiao Mu was lying on the wooden bed, half-opening his eyes, staring blankly at the spider web not far away, and listening attentively to the noise of a few people outside.

    "It has nothing to do with me that my mother was so angry that she fainted.

    It's all the instigation from the little girl from the second child's family. Today she even said in front of my mother that my mother abused her, that she wanted to separate the family, and that as long as their second room was divided, they could live a good life and they wouldn't need to subsidize us.  There are three bedrooms in the big house.

    Look at it, it sounds like the second son¡¯s family went to the county to be an apprentice, and my mother didn¡¯t pay. If my mother hadn¡¯t spent two taels of silver to buy some gifts for Carpenter Wang, how would they accept the second son¡¯s family?  "

    When the third daughter-in-law Mu Wei heard her husband Mu Chunshi questioning her mother-in-law about her fainting, she quickly started to defend herself and accused the second family and the girl from the second family who was talking nonsense today.

    "Two taels of silver. In the past few years, my father has not given you one tael of silver every month. From the beginning, it was a hundred cents a month, and later it was half a month or one tael. This gift lasted ten years.  And during the holidays, sometimes even two or three taels are sent back.

    Isn¡¯t it enough to add up to two taels?

    You are not as ruthless in taking advantage of others!  "

    As soon as Mu Wei finished speaking, the eldest daughter of her second wife, Mu Chuntian, the little girl whom Mu Wei mentioned just now, immediately shouted angrily and sarcastically in a relatively immature voice.

    In her opinion, her grandma just spent two taels of silver on gifts, and then sent her father to Carpenter Wang to endure hardships. He was said to be a carpenter's apprentice, but in fact he was almost like a slave. He could be beaten and scolded without saying anything back.  He started working as an apprentice when he was seven years old and continued to study for ten years. He was officially apprenticed when he was seventeen years old. After that, he had to send the money he earned home every month, leaving almost no money on him.  Is there any more serious and severe exploitation in this world?

    There is no such a profitable deal.

    ¡°Da Ya, don¡¯t talk nonsense, this is what you should do.

    "My parents are here, I have no property, and I have three younger siblings. Da Ya just talked nonsense, so don't mind it."  "

    Even if Prince Mu was also dissatisfied in her heart, she did not dare to speak out openly. She even had to reprimand her daughter to prevent others from spreading what she said, because the children gave the money they earned to the public for use.  It's a common practice. This is basically what every family does. Even if they are dissatisfied, no one dares to speak out, otherwise they will be scolded in the spine by others, scolded for being unfilial, and scolded for being a troublemaker. If what her daughter Daya just said spreads out,  Then I'm afraid there won't be a matchmaker near the village willing to come to help her arrange a marriage, because no mother-in-law is willing to have such a daughter-in-law.

    Therefore, she naturally had to quickly stop her daughter from talking nonsense.

    "Yeah, that's nonsense. I don't know where a child comes from. She talks so much and does the same thing. If she wasn't taught by you, how can she be self-taught? I think you just have a good relationship with your mother.  You are dissatisfied, you use your daughter's mouth to say it, and then you tell us that children are not sensible, and you are talking nonsense. Why do you think I am stupid?

    I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll do my own justice when my mother wakes up later. Some people have to cherish the time they spend in our house. Maybe my mother will kick her home in a while. Maybe I can even get the divorce letter.  Well, oh my, I haven¡¯t seen what a divorce letter looks like until now. It¡¯s time for me to see it. By the way, it will also open my eyes!  "

    Mu Wei is a maid after all. She speaks more eloquently than ordinary people and makes jokes a lot. After a few sarcastic remarks, she didn't bother to continue arguing. She dragged her husband and turned around to go back to the house.

    Although Wang Mu still wanted to defend herself, she was clumsy, so she could only sigh helplessly, and then she dragged her daughter, Daya, back to her house with a tangled look on her face. There were some things that were not convenient to say in front of everyone, so she  I can go back and tell you.

    After hearing the quarrel outside, Qiao Mu sighed deeply, took out a ginseng fruit again and ate it. After digestion was completed and he felt better, he began to accept the memory.

    There is not much to say about the original life. She was just an ordinary little girl from a farm. When she got older, she fell in love with Mu Huayu from Mujia Village through the introduction of a matchmaker. At that time, the Mu family could barely be called a farming and reading family, with hundreds of people in the family.  When I came to Mutian, my three sons were all studying. Although only one passed the Tongsheng examination, and the others could only be regarded as scholars and did not have any fame, their status in Mujia Village was pretty good and they were quite respected.

    Mu Huayu, who I originally married, was the only child born in the Mu family at that time. Of course, my original family background was pretty good. The family gave me three acres of land as a dowry. In addition, Mu Huayu failed to pass the scholar examination when he was eighteen years old.  , one who cannot achieve high or low, so he fell in love with Chang at that time.The original person was still fair and beautiful, and the two got married successfully, got married and had children.

    In the first two years of marriage, I only gave birth to a daughter.

    When she became pregnant again in the third year, Mu Huayu's father, her original father-in-law, became seriously ill. Even though she sold her belongings and bought various good medicines to support her, she only lasted two months because  The original mother-in-law died earlier, so the family naturally had to be divided after the death of her father-in-law. However, at that time, a lot of the family property had been sold off to treat her father-in-law's illness. Therefore, even if the three brothers divided the family property equally, each of them would only get three shares in the end.  More than ten acres of farmland, along with three to five taels of silver and a yard.

    The original husband is a self-proclaimed scholar, but he does not know how to farm. Although the original person wanted to farm by himself, he was pregnant at the time, so in the end he had to rent out the land and let others farm it and collect some rent.

    In autumn, she gave birth to her eldest son. The next day, her husband failed again. Not only did her husband not pay much attention to their new son, but she also felt that this son was unlucky and didn't like her very much. Later, she gave birth to another son.  After taking care of the second, third, and fourth children, I paid even less attention to the boss.

    Since then, the original husband rushed to take the exam every year and failed every year. Every year, he had to sell three to five acres of land. After taking the exam for seven or eight years, the original family had no other land except the three acres of dowry land.  , Mu Huayu also completely collapsed due to repeated attempts to fail and the family's land was sold out. He couldn't afford to fall ill and left within two days.

    After that, the original person raised five children alone. The hardship of raising five children in three acres of land can be imagined. Fortunately, the five children were in good health and did not get sick when they were young. Otherwise, I am afraid they would not be able to survive.  Go down.

    After that, she lived like an ordinary peasant woman quarreling over trivial matters, and transformed from a widow to a shrew. Fortunately, the eldest daughter and son started helping the family when they were seven or eight years old, helping with farming and housework. When the second son was seven years old,  I also wanted to learn skills from a carpenter who didn't ask for any gifts, but at that time I knew that the carpenter who could learn from me without any money was not willing to teach others the craft, and just wanted to find a few free laborers to help with the work.

    So, in the end, he gritted his teeth and dug out two taels of silver from home and found a good carpenter for him. At that time, the two taels of silver were a lot for the original person. For the two taels of silver, he had not touched it for a year.  If there is any meaty problem, I usually eat more wild vegetable steamed buns on weekdays, and it took a year to get over it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
