Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Mrs. Chen is a mature woman. She knows that even if her eldest son doesn't want money, Mrs. Hu will find a way to secretly get it. If this is the case, Er'er's family will not save any money, and the eldest son will think that he has helped his brother, but it has given Hu an advantage. Then he said, I also agree with what the second brother said. Brothers should also settle accounts clearly. Help is help, but you still have to pay the wages you deserve.

Chen Ming added, There are four dollars left from selling the land, which is enough to repair the house. If the elder brother always helps like this, the younger brother will be embarrassed to ask the elder brother for help in the future.

Chen Ye was speechless after hearing this, and then talked about the time to build the house. It's busy farming now, so we need to plant corn and sweet potatoes first. There is a lot of land for a large house, and if you add a second bedroom, you won’t have time to build a house until the end of May. Chen Ming thought that he would be busy with sewing baskets and sewing kits at home, so he set the time to build a house at the end of June. After the house was built, the thatched house they lived in was renovated.

Before they left, Chen Ming gave the four feet of blue coarse cloth to Chen Ye to make clothes.

Chen Ye's face turned red with anxiety, and he said loudly, I don't know how your family is living? Although Ah Fu's illness is better, you still have to save money to see Ah Lu's leg, and you are wasting money on surgery. What's more? My family's life is much better, and we don't lack these few feet of cloth, so I kept this cloth to make new clothes for Alu, and his clothes were all tied up.

After saying that, he helped Old Mrs. Chen walk out. Chen Afu led Dahu to follow behind, and Chen Ming sent them out.

Hu's feet didn't move, she still wanted to get the few feet of cloth. Even if you dare not take it home, you can take it to your natal family to make clothes for your brothers or nephews.

Chen Alu is a brat. Seeing that Mrs. Hu is lagging behind, she knows what she has in mind. When Mrs. Hu reached for the cloth on the Kang, he reached out first, took it in his hand, handed it to Mrs. Wang and said, Mom, uncle asked you to make me new clothes, but you can't give them away anymore. Use the cloth. If it’s not over yet, I’ll do it for Dabao again.”

Mrs. Hu was so angry that she cursed loudly, You look so poor, but you have the nerve to take back the gift you gave me. Chen Ye and Mrs. Chen were not present, so she did not hide her greed for money and meanness at all.

Chen Afu smiled and said, We didn't take it back. It was my uncle who sympathized with my family's poverty and asked me to make clothes for my brother.

Mrs. Hu cursed again, What a fool! How dare you talk back to your elders.

Mrs. Wang was not stupid. She knew that Mrs. Hu did not dare to take the cloth home, so she must have wanted to secretly take it back to her natal family. Wang was willing to give it to Chen Ye. After all, Chen Ye had helped him a lot. But what if the Hu family secretly took it to the Hu family. Hearing her scold Ah Fu again made me feel even more unhappy.

Mrs. Wang put the cloth in the kang cupboard and said to Ms. Hu who was blushing with anger, Da Ya didn't come to eat. I left a bowl of cucumber and fried meat for her. Sister-in-law, please take it back for her to eat. She originally left the food for Chen Ming to eat tomorrow.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Mrs. Hu still angrily followed Mrs. Wang to the kitchen and took away the dishes.

Chen Afu was a little speechless, Wang was too dumpy. People like Hu are just hungry wolves who can’t get enough to eat. I secretly asked for something, but I didn't say anything if I didn't appreciate it. Most of the time, I didn't dare to let Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye know.

After Mrs. Hu left, Chen Alu said to Mrs. Wang, Mom, that bowl of meat and vegetables is reserved for my father to eat tomorrow. Why should I take it away from my uncle? If it really got into Da Ya's mouth, I would still think about it. Maybe it got into Hu Laowu's mouth again, what a pity.

Mrs. Wang sighed, Your aunt is already unhappy because she didn't take away the cloth. If you don't give her some benefits, I don't know how long she will be complaining about it at home.

When Chen Ming came in and heard this, he sighed and shook his head. Brother is such a good person, why did he marry such a woman?

When Mrs. Hu first married into the Chen family, Chen Ming respected this eldest sister-in-law very much. But Mrs. Hu disliked this sick uncle very much. He behaved well in front of Chen Ye and Mrs. Chen. When they were not around, he used the most vicious words to scold Chen Ming, which almost made him angry to death. Perhaps, she just wanted to piss him off as soon as possible.

That year when their families separated, Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye's original intention was to let Chen Ming live at home so that they could take care of them. But Chen Ming had to move out, so Chen Yecai helped him sell an acre of land. The two brothers secretly added a tael of silver each to buy this small yard. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang came in a few days later, otherwise Mrs. Chen would have come to his house to take care of him first...

After Dafang and his family left, Chen Afu stopped Wang who was going to clean up in the kitchen. She was in better health now and could clean up slowly.

When Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter was capable of doing things, she smiled broadly, and she went into the house to cut clothes for Chen Alu. Making a sleeveless gown and trousers is enough to make a set for Alu and Dabao's family.

Both children were very happy. Alu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had worn new clothes. Dabao had never worn new clothes. He always picked up his uncle's old clothes. So Dabao was very excited and kept asking when he could wear new clothes.

A Lu humbly said, Mother, let Dabao do it first.

Mrs. Wang nodded and said with a smile, Okay, grandma asked Dabao to wear new clothes tomorrow.

After Chen Afu finished cleaning the kitchen, he watched Mr. Wang tailoring clothes. She was speechless about the ancient tailoring, especially the trousers, which were like two pockets sewn together at one end. Not only is it ugly to look at, it is uncomfortable to wear, but it is also very clothy. I thought I'd wait until my hands and feet became more flexible and see if I could improve on it. Of course, it is impossible to change the aesthetics of this era, and you cannot make trousers into tapered legs, but at least the waist and crotch should be cut to fit slightly.

The next day, it was broad daylight, and Chen Afu heard no movement outside the door. Wang must have been working late last night, and he still hasn't woken up yet.

She stood up gently, but saw light rain falling outside the window. The light rain was very light, misty and silent, washing the leaves and grass greener and cleaner.

Chen Afu put on his clothes and saw a set of blue clothes on the table. She walked over and opened her clothes. It was a sleeveless jacket and a pair of trousers made for Dabao.

Wang fulfilled her promise and let Dabao wear new clothes today.

Chen Afu first put the clothes next to Dabao and then went to the kitchen.

She carried an armful of wheat straw from under the eaves into the house. In order to avoid rain getting wet the firewood, a pile of wheat straw was placed under the eaves at any time. She lighted the fire gently, put the brown rice into the pot and cooked it slowly.

After the rice in the pot boiled and the heat was reduced, Chen Afu went back to the house to comb his hair. There was a roll on the top of her head, which looked a bit like the bun in her previous life, and it was fixed with a wooden hairpin. She only wears this hairstyle now.

Mother. Dabao rubbed his eyes and sat up. He suddenly woke up when he saw the new clothes and shouted, Ah, new clothes!

Shh, keep your voice down. Grandma was late making clothes last night and hasn't gotten up yet. Chen Afu said softly.

Dabao nodded and hurriedly put on his clothes. After putting it on, he stood on the kang and felt a little at a loss. He tugged on his clothes and looked at Chen Afu nervously.

Chen Dabao's coat and trousers were very ill-fitting. The coat reached to his thighs, and his pants were so fat that they were rolled up twice. The crotch almost fell to his knees. He could still wear this set of clothes three years later. Although it didn't fit her perfectly, the young lady in her new clothes was still incredibly beautiful, especially her coy and excited look, which was so adorable.
