I have been farming since I crossed over.

Looking at her elder sister like this, Yang Mingxi tilted her head slightly to prevent tears from falling, and stopped Yang Mingyun from helping her put on the silver earrings. Then she said, "Sister, I have thought of the gift you will give me. I will send you the materials when the time comes. You can make me a set of wedding quilts, and my second sister can also make me a set. This is what I need most. Wear these silver earrings yourself. Such a good elder sister must look beautiful!" After that, she pressed Yang Mingyun's hand back, clasped Yang Mingyun's wrist with her right hand, took her pulse, and found that Yang Mingyun was deficient in both qi and blood, and obviously did not get enough rest during the confinement period.

Yang Mingxi made a note of this and decided to ask her third brother to find out what was going on. "Didn't they say Yang Mingyun's in-laws were relatively well-off?" "But it doesn't look like that from the look of her eldest sister." Then she turned around and brought out the remaining cloth from yesterday, letting Yang Mingyun choose.

After Wu's persuasion, and knowing that everyone had a piece of cloth, including her three married aunts, two older sisters, and her fourth younger sister, Yang Mingyun began to choose. Last night, Yang Mingxi had chosen a ginger-white piece of cloth, intending to make a quilt. Unexpectedly, Wu had already prepared a piece for her, and today she brought it all over for Yang Mingyun to choose from: ginger-white, light blue, apricot, grass green, tea green, and lotus root pink. Yang Mingyun examined the tea green piece several times before finally choosing the ginger-white piece.

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Big sister, you have good taste. I originally chose this one to make a quilt, but mother already prepared one for me, so I took this one and prepared it for my nephew. It seems that big sister has the same good taste as me!" Then she took the tea-green one and handed it to Yang Mingyun, saying, "This one suits big sister. It will be even more beautiful when made into a dress!"

Yang Mingyun glanced at Yang Mingxi. Did she realize she wasn't well off? She'd chosen the ginger-white color. She'd originally wanted to make clothes for her husband, and she preferred the tea-green one. But at least she had a new outfit today, while her husband didn't even have any. So, she finally chose the ginger-white. Yang Mingyun hugged the two pieces of cloth tightly, as if she'd made a decision. The veins in her hands were exposed!

Yang Mingxi patted Yang Mingyun and said, "Big sister, put it away quickly. It will be bad if others see it." Then she took out her purse, counted out 500 copper coins and placed them in Yang Mingyun's hand, saying, "Big sister, this is my money to replenish your makeup. Second sister also has some!" Then she counted out another 300 copper coins and said, "This is for my nephew. I didn't know he existed and didn't prepare any gifts for him. Take this and make him two more sets of clothes!"

Now, Yang Mingyun knew that Yang Mingxi had seen through his embarrassment. He looked at Yang Mingxi's clear eyes, shook his head gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll keep them all. My third sister has made it big, and she gave me this as a filial gift, so I have to take it." Then they packed up their bags and sat down to chat about family matters.

Yang Mingxi glanced at the two babies lying on the bed, already sound asleep! Seeing her eldest sister only reporting good news and not bad news, Yang Mingxi quietly went to the front yard. She found her third brother, whispered a few words, and then returned to the fifth room.

After a while, Yang Mingyu brought his eldest brother-in-law Gu Laosan to the fifth room. After saying hello, he went to Yang Mingyu's room. Then Yang Mingxi knocked on Yang Mingyu's door. With her hands behind her back, she stood in front of Gu Laosan and said with a smile, "Hello, brother-in-law. I am Yang Mingxi, the third one."

Gu Laosan was wearing a suit of clothes that were half new. He was above medium height, with strong muscles, which made the clothes a little tight. He looked simple and honest, a typical farmer. Gu Laosan was bored in the yard, so he went to the vegetable garden. Seeing the cabbage seedlings that were a little wilted by the sun, he picked up some water and was watering the vegetables. He thought that his third uncle wanted to talk to him for something, but he didn't expect that it was this third aunt who he had never met before who spoke first. He smiled and said, "Hello, Xier." Then he scratched his head, and there was no more news!

Yang Mingxi nodded, glanced at Gu Laosan and said, "Brother-in-law, is my eldest sister doing well at your house? She said she is doing well, but I can't see her, right?"

After hearing this, Yang Mingyu walked forward a few steps, stood next to Gu Laosan and looked at him with a squint.

When Gu Laosan heard what the third aunt said, he was shocked. What a smart girl! She saw that her eldest sister was not happy and came to blame! It was all because of her mother's partiality. She looked down on her own wife and thought that her mother-in-law's family was from the mountains. She always bullied Yan'er and assigned all the work to Yan'er! The eldest sister-in-law is her mother's niece and her own cousin. Since she married her eldest brother, she has not done much housework. The second sister-in-law is the only daughter of a furniture maker in Qingshui County. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She has never done housework and can't do housework! Since Yan'er came into the house, all the housework has been done by Yan'er. Sometimes she has to go to the fields to help pick vegetables or something! Just a few days after giving birth, she started doing housework again! The silver that was brought to the bottom of the box was also cheated out by my mother in various ways and spent it all! Ever since marrying into the Gu family, Yun'er hasn't had a single new piece of clothing. Her mother always says, "Three years new, three years old, three years of mending." She just got married, so she doesn't need to buy new clothes!

This time, when I came to send my second aunt off, Yun'er sold one of her silver hairpins and bought two pieces of cloth to make a new set of clothes for myself and my wife, so that we would not lose face when we went out! As a result, my eldest sister-in-law saw it and urged my mother to ask for it back. In the end, I got angry and kept Yun'er's piece of cloth to make a new set of clothes. My own clothes were too ugly to wear, so I borrowed my second brother's half-worn clothes. But I was taller than him, so the clothes looked a little tight. In addition, I had just carried water several times to irrigate the vegetable garden, and some mud was on the clothes, which made them look even uglier!

Now looking at this beautiful and clever third aunt in front of him, he wondered if she had noticed that his eldest sister was not doing well and was here to fight for her? Thinking that Yun'er had such caring brothers and sisters, his heart was warm, but at the same time he also blamed himself. It was his cowardice and repeated tolerance that made Yun'er suffer all these grievances. It was all his fault!

Yang Mingxi looked at her brother-in-law after hearing her question. His expression was sometimes happy, sometimes self-blaming, and sometimes annoyed. She felt that she might have wronged her brother-in-law. However, if a daughter-in-law is oppressed by her mother-in-law, it is also a manifestation of her husband's inaction! Although filial piety is greater than heaven, it cannot be blindly filial!

"It's my fault that Yun'er's life is not going well. But Xi'er, A'yu, don't worry. When I go back this time, I will tell my dad about dividing the family. I will take Yun'er away to live alone, and I promise not to treat her badly!" After saying that, he let out a long breath!

"That's the best. Eldest sister is seriously deficient in both Qi and blood. You shouldn't have any more children for now, or else there could be two deaths. Eat more nutritious food and raise the child for two years before having another. It's better for both adults and children!" He looked at Yang Mingyu and said, "Third brother, find some of your clothes for eldest brother-in-law to change into; his clothes are stained." Third brother was a head taller than his father and taller than the eldest and second brothers. Eldest brother-in-law was about the same height as the second brother, but he looked stronger than the second brother, so he should be able to wear third brother's clothes. With that, Yang Mingxi left third brother's room and went to find Wu and the others.

After changing clothes, Gu Laosan and Yang Mingyu came over to Wu's side. Yang Mingyun saw her husband in changed clothes and stood up nervously. Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, big sister. My brother-in-law got his clothes wet while carrying water to water the vegetable garden, so I changed into my third brother's clothes." After saying this, she winked at Gu Laosan twice.

Gu Laosan nodded and said, "It's like this. I won't go to water the vegetable garden now. Ayu and I will go see if there is anything you need me to do. You guys sit and play." After that, he followed Yang Mingyu out.

The eldest cousin Yang Mingying and the fourth cousin Yang Mingshu came together, added makeup to Yang Mingmo, thanked Yang Mingxi, and then sat in the fifth room to chat.

My second cousin Yang Mingzhu came with Old Lady Yang and three aunts. After putting on makeup, they all thanked Yang Mingxi and stayed in the fifth room to chat.

Looking at the group of women chatting with each other, Yang Mingxi turned around to look at the two little ones who were sleeping soundly, stood up, picked up her seventh brother and brought him to her bed, then came back to pick up her little nephew. The three of them stayed in Yang Mingxi's room, two of them were sleeping soundly, and one was in a daze!
