The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Early winter.

The first batch of cotton-padded clothes that had been distributed were taken back.

Tong Huaqiong asked Wei to bring the village's smart and argumentative daughters-in-law to inspect the goods one by one.

After they finished the inspection, Tong Huaqiong randomly selected samples for inspection.

Fortunately, the first batch of cotton coats were of good quality. Except for one with crooked stitching, all others met the requirements.

This result made Tong Huaqiong very satisfied.

Tong Huaqiong felt deeply moved, as expected, a signed contract is more binding than a verbal agreement.

"Su Qing." Tong Huaqiong turned around and called out to Su Qing.

Su Qing was holding a tray with a red cloth on it and strings of copper coins on top.

The copper plates glowed brightly in the early winter sun.

Everyone's eyes were fixed

It seems that Shopkeeper Tong is very satisfied with the goods and is going to pay the workers.

For many girls and wives, it was the first time for them to earn money with their own hands. When they took a look at the copper coins in the tray, their palms began to sweat and their hearts began to pound.

Su Qing called out the name of another maid, Xiaoxi, who was responsible for distributing the money.

Whenever your name is called, sign on the paper and then receive the money.

Tong Huaqiong deliberately made the ceremony full of sense.

Everybody was so excited that when their names were called, they stepped forward impatiently, signed their names, and wiped their hands carefully before going to collect the money, for fear of dirtying the coins.

Everyone who received the money thanked Tong Huaqiong happily.

"Wow...it's so nice to be able to make money...wooooooo..."

Suddenly a girl squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

The girl is fifteen years old. No money in the family will pass through her hands, and she has never touched money before.

Only when you hold the money in your hands can you truly feel how good it is to earn money, and the feeling of touching the money is even better.

Even though the money can only warm in her hands for a while and then be given to her brother and sister-in-law to supplement the household expenses when she gets home, she is still happy at this moment.

"Girl, stop crying. Why are you crying on such a happy day when we're giving out money?" An old lady from the same village stepped forward to help the crying girl up and tried to persuade her.

Crying outside a weaving workshop is such bad luck for a businessman.

She was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would be angry and stop assigning them work in the future.

Then he turned around and explained to Tong Huaqiong: "Shopkeeper Tong, Xiaomei is crying tears of joy."

Tong Huaqiong nodded and didn't mind the girl named Xiaomei crying.

It is natural that a country girl would be so happy that she couldn't control her tears when she earned money to buy flowers to wear for the first time.

Not to mention this girl, in her later life she was so excited to earn money by working part-time while studying.

"Xiaomei, wipe your tears quickly. It would be embarrassing for others to see this crowd coming and going."

"This is just the beginning. I will earn more and more in the future. I won't cry every time."

"Let's go, let's go to town and buy some flowers to wear. I heard that the flowers sold by Tong's Jufulai are very unique, let's go and have a look."

A few girls who were friends with Xiaomei persuaded her and helped her up, and were about to drag her to the town.

Xiaomei wiped her tears and a smile reappeared on her face.

She couldn't spend her money on herself, but she was happy to go and look without buying anything.

The payroll ceremony ended in a joyful atmosphere.

The weaving workshop was working overtime to fluff cotton, spin yarn and weave cloth. The second and third batches of materials had already been sent out, and they were just waiting for the new cotton-padded clothes to be collected.

Tong Huaqiong calculated that he could complete the plan within the specified time.

In terms of who received the highest salary, it must be Wei.

She was good at sewing and fast, so she could always sew more cotton-padded clothes than others in the same amount of time.

Wei happily went to buy a chicken and a piece of pork belly, planning to go home and stew the chicken and meat. Her poor Yao family had not eaten any meat since the separation.

Similarly, Gu Xiaoxue received her first salary in her life.

Because she was a weaver, she earned more than Wei.

Gu Xiaoxue asked Gu Xiaocao to buy some snowflake cream snails at Taohua Dessert and bought a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone for her nephew, and took them back home together.

When Wei saw the things in Gu Xiaoxue's hand, she said, "Why are you buying these? You just got your wages, so you should save them for your dowry."

Gu Xiaoxue smiled without saying anything and handed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Yao Jia. Wei's eyes narrowed with laughter.

The sister-in-law said that she lived with them, but in fact it was just because there was no precedent for girls to separate and live on their own. Everything the sister-in-law ate and used was earned by herself.

In the final analysis, she and Fengnian got the upper hand.

Now that she has the money, the first thing she does is buy things for her nephew. Wei likes such a sister-in-law very much.

Wei said to Yao Jia: "You must be filial to your aunt in the future."

There is another thing she didn't say: Don't be an ungrateful person like your uncle.

Yao Jia said: "Thank you, little aunt. When I grow up, I will make money for you to spend. I will study hard to support you."

Gu Xiaoxue said "OK" perfunctorily.

She doesn't take this promise to heart now. She was brainwashed by Jia to devote herself to Gu Ruinian. She also believed that Gu Ruinian would support her. But it turned out to be a dream. She can buy pens, inkstones, and paper for the Yao family, but she won't give more to her nephew. She has to make plans for herself.

Yaojia always felt that her aunt didn't believe her words, so she turned her big eyes and said, "Aunt, you have to believe me. I'm not your second uncle, and I mean what I say."

Yao Jia's voice was so loud that it hurt Gu Ruinian, who was concentrating on making gunpowder in the yard.

Gu Ruinian raised his head and looked at Yao Jia sternly. Yao Jia shuddered, clenched his fists and raised his head and said, "I mean what I say, humph!"

Wei chopped the chicken and went to the kitchen to stew it. When she saw Gu Ruinian giving her son an unfriendly look, she couldn't help but scold him.

"You're so grown up, but you're not even as good as a child. What did my Yao family say was wrong? Weren't you the one who wanted to sell your own sister? Weren't you the one who didn't make any money at all?"

After the family split up, Wei was no longer as tolerant as she was when she was the eldest sister-in-law, and she would scold whenever she wanted.

After Wei separated from Mr. Gu and others, they still shared a kitchen with them.

Gu Xiaoxue lit the fire while Wei stewed chicken and fried vegetables, and soon the aroma of meat wafted out.

Mr. Gu smelled the aroma of meat and shook his head.

After the meal was ready, Wei served a bowl to the main wife. She did not leave out any of the filial piety, but there was a principle to this filial piety, which was that the meat must only go into the stomach of the person who showed filial piety.

"This meat is for grandpa, grandma, mom and aunt." Wei put the chicken in the middle of the dining table and said loudly.

After Wei left, Gu Ruinian reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken leg.

Usually, Tong Huaqiong would send the maid in the house to deliver meat and vegetables to Old Mrs. Gu and Old Man Gu. The maid disliked Gu Ruinian and always stood in the house waiting for the meat and vegetables to enter their stomachs before leaving.

As soon as Gu Ruinian stretched out his chopsticks, she stepped forward and said that the meat dish was not a filial offering to him.

Gu Ruinian was in a state of panic and was helpless.

Now this bowl of meat was given as a gift to his parents. His mother would definitely not eat it, so he ate it for her, so as to save Gu Honglian from getting it cheaply.

This was the first time he had eaten meat since returning to Qinghewan from Pingchuan.

Gu Honglian knocked off Gu Ruinian's meat and said viciously, "Didn't you hear what Fengnian's wife said about who this bowl of meat was given to? How can you be so shameless? How can an elder brother and his wife be filial to their younger brother-in-law?"

Gu Ruinian threw his chopsticks down in anger.

The sound of Old Mrs. Gu falling was louder than that of Gu Ruinian.

"Your aunt is right. This bowl of meat is not given to you as a filial gift. Why did you break the chopsticks? It's just showing off. You can't earn a penny, but you eat three corn cakes every meal. It's already good enough for you. You still have the nerve to snatch meat from your aunt."
