The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife

"How come all the quilts have been delivered? Take them back tomorrow and give them to your parents. Winter is almost here and they need them."

When Wu's mother looked at the two new quilts that Yi Cheng brought in, she felt happy but also worried. She didn't know what had happened in the Yi family that so many things were suddenly sent over.

Wu Fang helped to fold the cloth, while Yi Cheng folded the quilt and put it on the bed. He smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, these are what my sister brought back from Pengcheng. We don't need them now, so I'm just borrowing them to offer to you. I hope you don't mind."

Mother Wu was surprised. She often heard her daughter complain about her brother-in-law's sister, saying that she was lazy and bullied others. How come she suddenly became a good person and brought so many things to her in-laws?

Don’t tell me that he got into trouble outside and was sent home, that’s why he brought so many things with him. Could it be that he just wanted to greet them in advance?

Then her daughter's life will be difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, she looked at her daughter with great concern.

Wu Fang had no idea that her own mother had already imagined a huge drama in her mind just because of Yi Cheng's few words.

"Mom, let me tell you..."

"Mother, Amei, whose carriage is this at the door?"

When Yicheng heard his brother-in-law's voice, he remembered that the horse had not been tied up yet, so he ran out quickly.

"Brother, the carriage is ours."

When he got to the door, he saw the Wu family's father and son circling around the carriage.

"This horse is so handsome, and his eyes are so bright."

"That's right, this tendon muscle must have been trained a lot!"

“This car is also very solid, good looking and very low profile.”

Yicheng's face was full of pride, as if they were bragging about their own carriage.

As a man, who doesn't want to have a good horse, a horse that can fight side by side with him and advance and retreat together. It should have bright eyes and vigorous steps. Such a horse is not only a man's mount, but also a man's pride.

As a man, who doesn't want a comfortable carriage, a carriage that can carry himself and his family around. It should have a sturdy body and comfortable seats. Such a carriage is like a man's home.

A good horse and a comfortable carriage can make a man more confident, brave and strong.

They are men's dreams and men's pursuits.

Now, thanks to his sister and brother-in-law, he can also have it temporarily. Thinking of this, Yi Cheng straightened his chest and became more confident.

"Dad, big brother, second brother, you are back!"

Hearing Yi Cheng's voice behind them, the father and his two sons turned their heads in unison to look.

Yi Cheng smiled honestly and said, "I drove this carriage here. It belongs to my sister's family."

The father and his two sons were a little bit unbelievable.

Especially Brother Wu, who stuttered and asked, "Is this... is this... really yours?"

After saying that, Brother Wu realized that Yicheng's clothes were different. They were no longer the coarse linen clothes he wore before, but a blue gown made of fine cotton, embroidered with auspicious clouds. His hair was combed neatly and shiny, and there was a jade hairpin inserted in his bun.

He still looks honest, but has become much more capable, just like a smiling shopkeeper in the city.

"You are..."

Have you made a fortune?

Before he could even ask, Wu's mother had already run out and scolded them: "You're back now, why don't you help your son-in-law move his things? What are you two standing there for?"

The father and his two sons then discovered that Yicheng was holding two petitions in his hands. Brother Wu was the first to react. He quickly stuffed the hoe in his hand into Brother Wu's hand and took the petition from Yicheng. Only then did he realize that it was filled with wine.

"This wine smells delicious!"

Yi Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "This was also sent by my brother-in-law. My father asked me to bring it here for my father-in-law to taste!"

Hearing this, Father Wu's eyes immediately lit up: "My dear father-in-law, you are too polite."

Boss Wu didn't care about that. He quickly put down his hoe and sickle and said flatteringly, "Brother-in-law, do you want to take this horse to feed the grass?"

"Let me do it?"

Yi Cheng nodded: "Brother, thank you very much. I will go with you. This horse has a very fierce temper."

It was also the first time for Wu Lao Er to touch a horse, so he naturally would not miss such an opportunity. The two brothers quickly untied the carriage, pulled it back home, and walked out with their brothers-in-law, leading the horses. It was a bit of a show-off, but in Yi Cheng's opinion, this was not a big problem, after all, he did the same.

Father Wu sat in the yard smoking a water pipe and listening to his daughter talk about the changes in her family. He nodded with satisfaction.

"Your decision is right. Now that your brother-in-law has passed the imperial examination, your family no longer has to pay taxes. It's rare that your sister-in-law has reformed and not forgotten to support you. You should be brave and go out and try your luck. Maybe you can make a name for yourself."

As he spoke, Father Wu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He would never be able to leave the mountains in his lifetime. Having been a peasant all his life, his family could barely make ends meet.

I wonder if his sons and grandsons will have the same opportunity.

Wu Fang also knew what her father was thinking, so she patted him on the back gently and talked to them about her younger brother-in-law's examination for the scholar degree.

The Wu family's financial situation is pretty good. Although they are not wealthy, they can still have three meals a day.

They have three sons and one daughter. Wu Da helps his father farm at home. He has an 8-year-old son and two daughters.

Wu Er is a long-term worker in the city. He just came back to help with farm work during these few days of rest. He has a son and a daughter, and his income is stable.

The third son, Wu San, works as a carpenter in the city. He has already completed his apprenticeship. His wife is also the daughter of his master. He lives in his master's house on weekdays and is not considered to be a son-in-law. His two sons, one takes his wife's surname and the other takes his own surname. They come back once a month and bring a lot of things home every time.

The wives get along very harmoniously. There are bound to be conflicts, but they all have good temperaments and personalities, and they understand the major issues.

When Wu Fang came back this time, she also brought gifts for everyone. She distributed the jewelry that Yinuo gave her to her sisters-in-law from her mother's side, giving each of them a pair of silver earrings. As for her old mother, she gave her a silver bracelet, which was something she had been longing for all her life. She didn't expect that in the end, it would be given to her daughter's sister-in-law.

What the two elders could not have imagined was that their son-in-law secretly gave them ten taels of silver at night, saying that it was to make up for their daughter's betrothal gift.

In this day and age, five taels of silver was the dream for a marriage in the countryside, and the average amount was two taels, with the lowest being one tael. The son-in-law now took out ten taels of silver, which really moved them to tears.

The son-in-law is hardworking and diligent. Although his family is poor, he is very kind to his daughter. This time, his daughter said she wanted to follow their family to Pengcheng. Although the couple miss their daughter, they are not worried that she will be bullied. Both his mother and father-in-law are sensible people.

They were supposed to go back to Taoli Village the next day, but Wu San happened to come back with his wife and children. It was a rare family reunion, so Yi Cheng asked Wu Fang to stay at Wu's house for another day. On the third day, he said goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law and returned to Taoli Village.
