She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys
Chapter 211 Copper Coin Dumplings
One of the households was Li Laoer, who did not join the villagers in burning charcoal that day to avoid being lazy. Later, after everyone had shared the money, he wanted to join in again, but was told by the village chief that he could only wait until next winter.
Now, seeing that there is no oil or water in the dishes, he would scold his wife and blame her for not being able to make money.
The two children at home also huddled in the corner, not saying a word.
The other family is the old Wen family.
Old Wen’s New Year’s Eve dinner was not bad, with a plate of braised pork with soy sauce removed, a large bowl of fat meat stewed with cabbage and tofu, and a plate of fried pig’s blood.
Egg and wild vegetable pancakes.
Except for Mai Ya who had half a steamed bun in her hand, everyone else had a whole one.
However, the dining atmosphere was not good. Wen Youtian picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and just took a bite, he heard a crunching sound.
Then he spat out a small stone and a white object with a smooth surface.
He turned his tongue over in his mouth and found that a piece of his tooth was knocked out. Seeing his mother looking at him, he was so scared that he instantly shrank his neck and dared not say a word, but glared at his wife on the other side.
It turned out that Xibao had been making noises at night recently, and Mrs. Wen Chen didn't have the energy to take care of him, so she had to let the eldest and second children in the house take turns to take care of him.
Zhang Cuilan coaxed the child all night last night. Today, while cooking, she grumbled to her sister-in-law Wang Xiaoyun, "You should know that you shouldn't have separated from the third brother. If you didn't separate the family, not only would there be someone to do the housework, but they went to the town to pick up the child, so shouldn't the money from their gratitude belong to everyone? Wouldn't it be our turn to live in the big house? It's just that the mother-in-law is short-sighted. When the debtors came to collect the money, she refused to give out even ten taels of silver. If she had given it out, we wouldn't have to break up the relationship. If we had broken up the relationship, the third brother would have to send rice, flour and meat every festival. Now, the third brother has been completely cut off, and we have to do all the housework. The mother-in-law is old and has given birth to a golden nugget, so how can she let the daughter-in-law hug her sister-in-law day and night..."
Zhang Cuilan, who was a talkative person, kept talking with her back to the kitchen door, and Wen Chenshi, who happened to come, heard every word she said.
"You are such a rotten-tongued bastard. It's a pity that Xibao will call you sister-in-law in the future, and you treat her like this? You dare to make up stories about my daughter when I am still here. If I die one day, will you throw Xibao into the mountains to feed the wolves? Are you still a human being, you sharp-tongued beast?"
Zhang Cuilan didn't need to speak for herself, she responded on the spot, "Mom, I didn't say the latter part of the words, these are all said by you. Am I wrong about breaking up the engagement? If the engagement hadn't been broken up, wouldn't they have sent some of the delicious food and drinks to me? If the family hadn't been separated, Xi Bao's commotion could have made the third son's wife take over. Look at me, your eldest daughter-in-law, I have dark circles under my eyes now, and even a ghost would walk backwards when they see me. You've driven away all the people who worked for nothing in the family."
Ever since Wen Chen was beaten by Wen Dacheng, she knew that she no longer had any power over him.
She kept her temper at home, but when she heard Zhang Cuilan say that, she was furious. "Well, you have grown up and dared to say such things. Let me show you how I will deal with you."
Wen Chen was so angry at Zhang Cuilan that her eyes turned dizzy. She turned around and wanted to look for something. Seeing that there was no suitable tool, she bent down, picked up a handful of dirt from the ground, and threw it at Zhang Cuilan.
As luck would have it, Zhang Cuilan dodged it, and Wang Xiaoyun opened the lid of the pot to look at the food inside.
The dirt flew into the pot like flying...
......
Wen Wuyan's home.
After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner at night, the leftovers were placed in the kitchen cabinet.
In the main room, Gu Qingqing had already put peanuts, candies, rice crackers, cakes and fruits sold in town on the table.
If children saw these things on weekdays, they would definitely be envious.
However, they had already eaten their dinner to the point of their throats. Now they looked at the cakes, drooling and saying they couldn't eat any more.
The fruit was sent by the Shen family. One child ate it that night, and then she put it away.
It was finally taken out today.
Gu Qingqing naturally saw their embarrassment and said with a smile, "It's better to stay up all night today after eating a full meal, so you won't feel sleepy later."
"Mom, I will definitely not fall asleep today." Erhua immediately became happy when she heard about staying up all night.
"Okay. Then you can't fall asleep again today." After saying these two words, Gu Qingqing turned to Wen Wuyan beside her and said, "Wuyan, go and get some of the dumpling stuffing left over from the cooking room this morning. Let's make a few dozen more dumplings and cook them tomorrow morning."
"Mom, didn't we have dumplings for lunch today? Are we going to have them again tomorrow? There are no Yuanxiao balls yet. Do we want to make them now?" Dahua, who was teasing Sanhua, immediately stood up and asked.
"Yes, your father and I will make Yuanxiao after we finish making dumplings."
While they were talking, Li Xin heard that they were going to get the dumpling stuffing, so he stepped out of the door first and said, "Uncle, you don't have to go. I'll go and I know where it is."
Because the dumplings they were making were to be eaten on New Year's Day, Gu Qingqing naturally wouldn't let the little ones practice.
Send them out to play.
What is there to do in this era?
Listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers coming from the village, Daxin took Dahua and Erhua to burn firecrackers again.
The children were so excited playing in the yard that they were not sleepy at all. Even Dahei, the dog who followed them, was having so much fun.
In the room.
Wen Wuyan saw her wash a copper coin and put it in the dumplings, and asked curiously, "Qingqing, what are you going to use this for?"
Gu Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth and pinched the dumplings into shape with her hands. "Put a copper coin in the dumpling. Whoever eats the dumpling tomorrow will get the copper coin inside. It also represents a huge source of wealth in the coming year."
"That's great. Can we wrap one inside the glutinous rice balls later? If the children eat it, they will probably be very happy." Wen Wuyan said as he rolled the dumpling wrappers.
"Sure, we'll do it later."
After making dumplings and Yuanxiao, Gu Qingqing stretched lazily, "This year's work is finally done, we should take a good rest starting tomorrow."
"You must be tired. Just go and take a rest. I'll pack these up."
After Gu Qingqing cleaned the room, he went to the cupboard and placed the clothes that the children would wear tomorrow for the New Year neatly on their respective kangs.
While making their beds, I secretly slipped something under their pillows while they were away.
After the children were tired of playing, they all returned to the main room.
They picked out what they wanted to eat from the table.
There was fruit tonight, but they didn't want to eat too much, so the three of them shared one.
Dahua was even more considerate and collected all the peels and seeds and placed them aside.
My mother said we should wait until spring to see if the seeds can germinate.
The children who sat down started nodding after a while. Gu Qingqing asked them to wash up and go to bed, but they refused and insisted on staying up all night.
There was no other choice, so Gu Qingqing held the sleeping Sanhua in her arms and told the children the story of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf in vivid detail.
This finally kept them awake.
It wasn't until the sound of firecrackers rang out in the village that Gu Qingqing finally said to the three children, "Happy New Year, you can go to bed now."
Li Xin returned to the room and lay on the bed. When he turned over, he felt something unusual under the pillow. When he touched under the pillow with his hand, he felt a hard object. He took it out and saw that it was actually two silver leaves.
