After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Wang Hong smiled and said, "Dad was worried that Mom and sister would be unsafe on the road, so he asked me to take them here."

Wang Qiuxia smiled and said yes.

Wang Xiaoya ran directly to Jiang Xiaohe: "Cousin."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and touched her head: "Xiaoya, you have grown a little taller these days."

Wang Xiaoya smiled happily.

Then he called Chen Xiuqun: "Aunt."

Chen Xiuqun smiled and nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Wang Qiuxia clapped her hands and said, "What are you talking about!" Then she pulled her to sit down.

Jiang Xiaohe saw that although the three of them were still dressed simply, their faces did not look as haggard as before.

Zeng Hua pulled Zhang Da Niu over and said, "Da Niu, call someone, follow your cousin's wife and call your aunt."

Zhang Daniu stepped forward and shouted, "Hello, auntie!"

Chen Xiuqun nodded, his dark yellow face a little embarrassed: "I, I haven't prepared anything yet!"

Zeng Hua quickly smiled and said, "We are all family, don't worry about those empty formalities."

Chen Xiuqun also quickly introduced her to Wang Xiaoya and Wang Hong: "This is Second Aunt."

"Hello, second aunt."

"Okay, okay! Sister-in-law, since you have a guest here, the girl and I will go back."

Wang Qiuxia quickly pulled her aside and said, "Why are you going back? Xiaohe bought some meat in town today. Your family will also have dinner here tonight."

"it's not good."

"Something's wrong."

Zeng Hua smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to my sister-in-law."

Wang Qiuxia then nodded and smiled: "That's right."

Several people pulled Chen Xiuquan aside to introduce what they made. Chen Xiuquan listened to what they said and wondered if they were going to help her make money?

Chen Xiuqun's eyes suddenly turned red: "How can this be so embarrassing?"

Zeng Hua spoke before Wang Qiuxia: "Why should I be embarrassed? The idea was Xiao He's. After all, our two families are relying on her to make money!"

Chen Xiuquan looked at Xiaohe again.

Jiang Xiaohe pulled her aside and said, "Aunt, this is actually what mother meant."

Chen Xiuquan looked at Wang Qiuxia. This sister-in-law has helped their family a lot since she got married.

Wang Qiuxia's eyes also turned red: "Sister-in-law, life will get better and better in the future."

Chen Xiuqun nodded, wiped her tears quickly, and smiled: "Then you can tell me what to do."

After she said that, Zeng Hua pulled her aside and taught her how to do it. Xiao Ya also loved to learn. Although she was small, in a farm family, girls of this age could also do housework. She wanted to ask Jiang Xiaohe, but she saw that her cousin's wife had only sewn two stitches and then turned to ask Zhang Danniu.

"Big sister, please teach me. I can sew too."

Zhang Danv quickly taught her how to do it.

With so many people doing this handicraft, Jiang Xiaohe, who was not an expert at it, quit.

"Mom, you guys do this, I'll go clean up the meal, and we'll cook dumplings tonight."

"Mom, let me help you."

"No need, just let Hongwa help me."

After that, he called Wang Hong, "Hongwa, come on, help your cousin-in-law light the fire and chop the meat."

Wang Hong was worried about having nothing to do and was standing aside feeling very awkward. When he heard Jiang Xiaohe calling him, he quickly ran to help.

While Jiang Xiaohe was kneading the flour, he helped to chop the meat. Looking at such a big piece of meat, he couldn't help drooling.

"Then Wang Shuisheng didn't cause you any trouble later, right?" Jiang Xiaohe asked.

Wang Hong shook her head: "No, a lot of people from the gambling house came to his house to ask for money, and he ran away secretly, leaving a mess for his parents."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "As long as I don't cause you any trouble."

"Are grandpa and grandma in good health?"

When talking about this, Wang Hong frowned slightly, sighed and said: "Before, cousin, you taught us how to make sour jujube cake. After it was made, my father and I took it to the town to sell. However, we did not dare to sell it for five cents of silver per catty, so we sold it for two cents of silver per catty. We also made some money. At this time, someone came to tell my father and mother that my eldest sister had given birth to a child. My parents were very happy and wanted to go see my eldest sister and their little grandson..."

Having said this, Wang Hong stopped talking.

Jiang Xiaohe turned her head and saw that his eyes were red and his mouth was pouting. It was obvious that he would choke up if he continued speaking.

Wang Hong held back for a moment before continuing, "My parents left early in the morning and arrived at Yezigou at noon. They found my eldest sister's husband's house. They were having dinner, but my parents didn't see my eldest sister. The family probably didn't expect my parents to go, so their faces changed. My parents realized something was wrong and called my eldest sister twice, but no one answered. Then someone came to the yard and said that my eldest sister had fainted in the field. My parents then realized that my eldest sister was bullied by her mother-in-law because she gave birth to a daughter. She went to work in the fields one day after giving birth, and she was not allowed to eat a bite of food..."

Jiang Xiaohe felt uncomfortable listening to this. From ancient times to the present, favoring boys over girls has always been a serious problem...

"What then?"

"My parents wanted to take my eldest sister home, but her in-laws threatened her that if she followed them back, they would divorce her and prevent her from ever seeing their daughter again. My eldest sister was afraid of bringing bad reputation to the family, so she refused to follow them back. My parents wanted to keep this a secret from my grandparents, but they found out anyway. They both fell ill again, and the little money we had saved was spent again."

After Wang Hong finished speaking, she took a deep breath, otherwise she would have cried.

Jiang Xiaohe didn't know what to say, but she saw a shadow at the kitchen door. When she looked up, she saw Wang Qiuxia standing there.

"mother?"

Wang Qiuxia hummed and said, "Mom, pour some water for your aunt and the others. They have been here for such a long time and they haven't even had a sip of water yet."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded and asked her to scoop two spoonfuls of sugar into it.

Wang Qiuxia wiped her eyes and then went out with the sweet water.

Wang Hong also calmed herself down and concentrated on chopping the meat. Neither of them spoke again.

During dinner in the evening, in the main room, Wang Qiuxia took out the tung oil lamp that had not been lit for a long time.

With a stool added, the family had a meal of steaming dumplings.

Zhang Fu also announced with a smile at the dinner table that his family was going to renovate their house.

This news really shocked everyone at the table.

Zhang Quan thought about it, then nodded and said, "Brother, your house should be repaired. Tomorrow I will go with you into the mountains to get some more thatch and weave it up to cover it. It won't leak in the winter."

Zhang Fu smiled and shook his head: "We are repairing the house, not renovating it."

what?

Zhang Quan was obviously stunned.

Zhang Fu then explained, "We were able to repair the house thanks to Xiao He. She made some wine a few days ago, and we sold it all two days ago. We got some money, so we thought of repairing the house."

Everyone at the table looked at Jiang Xiaohe, who smiled and nodded, "Dad is right. This house we live in now is inconvenient for everything. We will have to do business in the future, so we need a storefront. Besides, this house is drafty on all sides. If it snows heavily in winter, it might collapse."
