C219 I lost it all to one mouth

When Mian Niang went to Peach Blossom House half a month later, it was already the seventh day of the twelfth month. The weather was getting colder and colder, and when she opened the door in the morning, she could feel Bei Feng's sharp, blade-like movements.

This time, after settling the bill, she had to buy another jar of brine water and two barrels of wood, and Madame Song also told her to buy some paper money as sacrifices, and it was almost the New Year, so she went up the mountain to bury Song Youfu.

At home, he also needed to buy some rice noodles. Every year, there would be sorghum rice, cornmeal and millet. Only during the new year, would he be able to steam some steamed buns and eat white rice.

Song Zhien was currently growing up and his children had become more sensible. They knew that they could not eat meat now, but being boiled everyday with cabbage and water to stew tofu was not the way it was supposed to be.

Madame Song Li continued to mutter as if Mian Niang remembered, and when she remembered, she couldn't help but look at Mother twice.

A bag each of the rice noodles was impossible before.

Aunt couldn't bear to part with the money.

They even had to pull at a little cloth, which was enough to make two sets of clothes for Song Zhien.

Madame Song and Madame Li met the gaze of their daughter, and involuntarily explained, "Since it's spring, the new year has started. You should at least change out of that thick body of yours, right?"

After saying that, she regretted it again. She felt that she was like this, as if she was' giving her all 'to her daughter. She turned her head and did not look at Mian Niang again, and her voice was light.

Mian Niang was actually very happy. No matter what she did, her mother started to think about her own share, and she didn't care why her mother made her new clothes. She only knew that her mother was no longer as repulsed by her as she was in the past.

Madame Song Li purposely ignored Mian Niang, but when Mian Niang went out to hitch a ride, she still called him over, took out a blue colored scarf and a new hat, and gave it to her daughter.

Her neck was made by herself, so there was nothing special about it. It was just a piece of cloth with a thin layer of cotton inside. There was a row of dense needlework.

The hat was simple with a square top.

The new hat covered Mian Niang's face tightly and she could no longer feel the sharp touch of the knife from Bei Feng.

Mian Niang's footsteps were much more relaxed than usual.

The exhaustion from waking up disappeared, and he quickly donned the donkey cart.

Looking back, it was actually quite funny, not to mention tofu selling half a year ago, she didn't even know how to hitch a car. But now, even she felt that she was the pillar of this family, since the first time she was selling tofu, she didn't even open her mouth.

His skin thickened.

However, it was not just his face that seemed to be thicker.

Mian Niang couldn't help but laugh as she thought about it.

Life seemed to be going well like this all the time. Although it was a bit tiring, there was still hope.

The two of them had already made an appointment with Mian Niang the night before. When Mian Niang had just wrapped up the carriage, the two of them entered the courtyard together.

Seeing Mian Niang dressed up like that, she smiled and teased: "This guy is really spirited, her lips are red and teeth are white, I wonder which family's girl would have such luck."

Mian Niang bashfully smiled, and felt very uncomfortable, and called her aunt twice.

The two knew that she was shy, so they didn't make it difficult for her. They went to the house to greet Madame Song and Madame Li, then exchanged a few words inside before coming out.

He waited for his two aunts to get on the carriage, and then sat on the carriage as well. Just as he was about to drive the carriage away, he heard someone call out to him from behind. He turned his head, and saw Chen Daniu's wife carrying a small bundle in his hands, running out while panting, afraid that they would throw her out.

He was in too much of a hurry to stop in front of the carriage, so when Mian Niang saw that she was about to fall to the ground, he immediately extended his hand to support her.

"This child, you're slower than I thought. It's not like we can't wait for you."

The filigree reprimanded him: "You should be a bit slower, for this frozen world, falling down once is hard for you."

"I was worried. I thought you guys had already left."

There was a smile on Chen Daniu's wife's face, but he did not get angry after getting hit. Instead, he looked at Mian Niang and laughed, "My father-in-law is also driving to the county city today, but I don't want to ride on their carriage, I just want to ride on Mian Niang's carriage."

Ever since her last conflict with Aunt Chen, the relationship between the two daughter-in-law had never eased up, and now, they were not talking much. The method that Chen Daniu, who was stuck in the middle, used to use both ends of the story together with the mud had already stopped, and it was fine to not talk about it.

She was outspoken, and no matter how others listened to her words, she was already in the car.

Mian Niang couldn't kick them out. Seeing the three of them sitting in the carriage with their legs crossed, laughing coldly, she turned around and returned to the courtyard.

It was her usual blanket, so the three of them felt that it was embarrassing. They had to reject her, but they could only follow her instructions since the blanket was placed on their legs, causing them to feel much warmer.

Mian Niang chased the furred donkey cart out of the village. No matter who was right or wrong, as long as word of it spread, it would be a joke. However, the ones who suffered the most were the Chen Daniu and Chen Daniu.

Since her name was spread unscrupulously, Chen Daniu would easily lose his unfilial reputation.

's wife was also someone who would not take advantage of others. filigree was passionate, reasonable and even talked about Chen Daniu. Her attitude had softened a bit, but she was still indignant.

"Aunt, it's not that my Lady Liu is unreasonable, but rather that she is honest with her mother-in-law. You don't know my mother-in-law, Erniu's daughter-in-law. She hasn't even come through the door yet, but she's still ahead of me everywhere, as if she's married to a golden lump."

She did not wait for others to ask and poured out all the grievances in her heart.

In fact, Xiu Chi was originally a servant who came out from the Gu household and also had an uncle who was serving as the housekeeper for the Gu Mansion. The Chen family had climbed onto the marriage stage and originally had a very high opinion of Xiu Chi, they asked for praise, putting Xiu Chi in the front every single time. The Aunt Chen was even more satisfied with Xiu Chi by the price, and whenever they mentioned him, they would always praise him as someone who did not even exist in the sky, even if Xiu Chi's wedding gift was much higher than the other female mother in the village.

filigree and A Yunniang were aware of these things, and understood even more of the reason behind Aunt Chen praising Xiu Chi to such an extent.

Chen Erniu's little thoughts towards Mian Niang could not be hidden from the eyes of the villagers. The more Aunt Chen hid it, the more everyone knew about it.

When people from the village mentioned Mian Niang, they all wanted to say something like "Be sensible, be capable, and be not one bit inferior to a man."

Just like that, a female mother started up the burden of supporting the family. They climbed up in the middle of the night just to make tofu to exchange for some money.

It was not a big deal that tofu was sold to the Peach Blossom House, but there were a few families that made tofu in the Wu Li Eight Village. In just a few months, there was not much business there, and even after a few years of tofu, tofu hyacinth still did not get anything to do with the big restaurants in the city.

It was true that Mian Niang was lucky, but in the end she was the one who was lucky.

The fragrance of the wine was not afraid of the alleyway being too deep. Only by cooking the tofu well could it have such good luck.

Aunt Chen often praised Xiu Chi in front of others, because she didn't want others to think that Chen Erniu's wife was inferior to Mian Niang.

It was just that she did not know that Mian Niang did not really care about all these things. Instead, it was Chen Daniu's wife who was worried, and thought that her mother-in-law had purposely said those words for her to hear. He felt that Xiu Chi had not passed yet, and her mother-in-law was already so biased, so his days in the future would probably be even more difficult.

"You don't know, today my mother-in-law and the others went to the city to get them a new set of furniture. "Sigh, I also feel wronged. Da Niu and I haven't even been married for two years, and we didn't ask for that much at the time. But now, this second daughter-in-law really wants to look good everywhere. I want to see how much money this daughter-in-law costs when she talks about family."

As Chen Daniu's wife said this, he gnashed his teeth, because she suddenly remembered that the money he had given Chen Erniu to be his wife contained the sweat and blood of a man.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and the greater the resentment he felt.

"I have to say, that parturient mother-in-law of mine also don't have a clear brain too. If he had gritted his teeth back then, he would have been able to take out half of his money for Mian Niang's family to take care of, allowing Song Zhixiao to marry his wife … "Oh, aunt, why are you twisting my arm?"

Chen Daniu's wife looked at A Yunniang with an aggrieved expression, and was extremely puzzled.

A Yunniang rolled his eyes and glanced at Mian Niang who was driving the carriage. Helplessly, she could not see Mian Niang's expression, but the back of her head who was wearing a hat, and said hatefully: "You, a good person, lost to this mouth."

My wife Chen Daniu said heartlessly: "You also say that, sigh, my family's Da Niu also said that about me, he even said that we two don't have any relatives, and you think I let your personality take its course? Could it be that it's because of the relationship we had in front of your family when we were first married?"

A Yunniang's expression suddenly became very unsightly. filigree was no longer able to endure it, he slapped on Chen Daniu's wife's shoulder, stopping her from speaking any further.

"Child, why do you think you're so interesting?"

Seeing A Yunniang's expression, she smiled again.

Even Mian Niang who was in the front row could not help but grin.

A Yunniang couldn't hold back either, he pushed the filigree a little and laughed along with him.

Chen Daniu's wife said without thinking much of it: "What's wrong with that, I think it's pretty good. Look, people say that we've all been defeated by a single mouth, that means other than speaking frankly and not hiding anything else, isn't that good? "Right?"

filigree laughed and nodded, saying, "That's right, there is nothing wrong with those words."

Chen Daniu's wife counted with his fingers and said: "Since that's the case, let's have a good talk. Aunt, tell me, do we have something to talk about, or do we need to talk behind the scenes?"
