The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

There is a crooked tree in front of my uncle's house. Because it is easy to climb, the trunk is worn smooth by the children nearby.

When I passed by, the courtyard gate was open and there was laughter and chatter inside, it was very lively.

"Grandpa and grandma, you are all at my uncle and aunt's house, so we don't have to go to the next door."

As Xu Wencheng spoke, he led Song Yuntang into the house holding the bowl in his hand. When he saw Xu Cui and her three daughters sitting in the corner, he looked a little surprised.

"My aunt and three cousins ​​are here too."

Xu Cui just nodded lightly and did not show any excessive intimacy when seeing her nephew.

Song Yuntang was a little surprised. If Jiang knew that her aunt was coming today, she would definitely have told her before they came to her uncle's house, but she didn't say anything, which meant she had no idea at all.

Moreover, when the wedding took place yesterday, this young sister-in-law did not seem to show up among the close relatives who were watching the ceremony. Could there be any conflict between her and Xu Qingye's family?

"Wencheng, Tang'er, come and sit down."

Zhang and eldest daughter-in-law He hurriedly stood up and gave the chairs to the two of them.

When Xu Wencheng saw Zhang offering him a seat, he quickly declined.

"Auntie is sitting by herself. My sister-in-law just made a pot of sour plum soup. Mother asked me to bring her to meet my grandparents and my uncle's house. I didn't expect my aunt to be here too."

Seeing this, He hurried to the kitchen to get a bowl.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu on the side couldn't help but look worried.

"Is Qingye okay?"

Otherwise, why didn’t Qingye accompany the girl to greet the family?

Xu Wencheng smiled and said, "Grandma, my eldest brother is fine. He went to town with my sister-in-law this morning and is reading in the house after returning."

Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Read well. You'll be going to the county town next month. Our Xu family is counting on your eldest brother, but you should remind him more often and don't let him ruin his health."

Xu Cui rolled her eyes.

"You need someone to accompany you to town. Do you really think you're a daughter of a wealthy family? The girls and wives of farmers in the mountains like us wouldn't be so pretentious."

Mrs. Hu, who was always kind, was stern for once.

"Cui'er, if you're going back to your parents' home just to cause trouble, take your three children back now!"

Xu Cui frowned.

"Mom! Why do you always help my second brother's family bully me?"

Mrs. Hu was so angry at her words that she pounded the table and shouted, "Who bullied who first? How could our Xu family produce a troublemaker like you?"

After saying that, he covered his chest with his hands, looking very uncomfortable, and almost fell down.

"Mom, be careful!" Her oldest uncle, Xu Yongfu, who was closest to her, quickly stepped forward to support her. He then turned and angrily scolded Xu Cui, who was standing beside her. "Xu Cui! Mom's health wasn't good to begin with. She's only finally getting better after taking medicine these days. You're getting angry the moment you get here. Aren't you jealous of her getting better?"

"I……"

Xu Cui knew she was in the wrong, so she stamped her feet, snorted, and said nothing more.

After entering the room, Song Yuntang, who had been standing not far away without saying a word, greeted everyone and then stepped forward to take Hu's pulse.

After a moment, she let go.

"Grandma's body isn't suited to getting angry. She needs to rest and recuperate, otherwise she'll easily get angry."

Leading to shortened lifespan.

She didn't dare to say the last two words out loud, and so far she had only said them to Xu Qingye.

She took out a bag of silver needles from her sleeve, inserted one into the Baihui acupoint to refresh the mind, and the other into the Laogong acupoint to protect the heart and clear the heart fire.

Soon, Mrs. Hu returned to normal.

She looked at Song Yuntang and nodded, "Good boy."

After calming down, he turned around and said, "Your aunt has been spoiled by her grandparents and her two older brothers since she was a child. Don't take her words to heart."

Song Yuntang shook his head lightly.

"Of course not."

They didn't even know each other and wouldn't get along in the future, so she wouldn't make a big deal out of such a small thing.

Xu Cui originally wanted to say that she didn't need Hu to plead for her.

But thinking about how he had just made her angry, he held back and didn't dare say such words.

Speaking of the conflict between her and Xu Yongwang's family, it started when Xu Qingye passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.

At that time, Xu Cui had been married for many years. Because she had given birth to three daughters in a row, her in-laws looked down upon her and almost scolded her.

Even though she finally gave birth to a son, who is now nine years old, she still cannot compare to the status of her other two sisters-in-law in her husband's family, because they gave birth to sons first and had more sons than her.

But she was 29 years old when she gave birth to her last son, and she never became pregnant again after that.

Now at the age of 38, she has accepted her fate.

At least she already has a son.

After Xu Qingye passed the examination and became a scholar, she was very excited when she heard the news, and felt that she could finally make a name for herself in her husband's family.

At that time, her husband's family's attitude towards her was indeed much better. They even took the initiative to prepare gifts for her and asked her to go to her nephew who had passed the imperial examination to ask for all their land to be registered in his name so as to avoid the government's tax system.

At that time, the Xu family had not yet split up, so all the land was registered under Xu Qingye's name. After the split, they did not go to the government to register, so Xu Yongfu's family still did not have to pay taxes on their land.

Xu Cui brought gifts and tried to beg her second brother and nephew with kind words.

Xu Yongwang didn't understand these things, so he said that he couldn't make up his mind and needed Xu Qingye's approval. However, Xu Qingye said that this behavior was equivalent to tax evasion, which was illegal. If someone with ulterior motives reported it in the future, it would be easy to find out since their two families were so far away from each other. At that time, in addition to confiscating property, he would also be beaten with fifty boards.

If he gets hit by these fifty boards, he might even die.

Even he will be implicated.

At that time, Xu Qingye was fully focused on studying and taking the imperial examinations. He had always been very cautious. Of course, he did not want to be tarnished by these trivial matters, so he did not agree.

He disagreed, and Xu Yongwang and his wife, who always respected their children's decisions, naturally respected his opinion as well.

Xu Yuande was the head of Lushan Village and an upright man. After learning the reason, he and Mrs. Hu began to persuade Xu Cui to give up this idea for the sake of their grandson's future.

Xu Cui was very unhappy because of this incident.

She felt that her husband's family had prepared generous gifts for her to bring to her parents' home, and they also knew that her life in her husband's family was not easy, but they didn't even help with such a small matter. It was so heartless.

So when she returned to her husband's home, she was again scolded by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, who said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and her family did not take her seriously at all.

She was so angry that she went to Lushan Village again when she had time, and brought her eldest daughter Cheng Xiaoqian with her.

At that time, Cheng Xiaoqian was eleven years old, six years younger than Xu Qingye.

She wanted to place her eldest daughter in her second brother's house as a child bride to strengthen the relationship, but she still wanted Xu Qingye to agree to register the land of her husband's family under his name. Before Xu Qingye even showed up, he was rejected by his second brother and his wife.

Upon learning the news, Xu Yuande and Hu scolded her, saying that she was possessed by evil spirits. She was so angry that she returned to Yanliu Village crying with her daughter.

Since then, she has gradually reduced her interactions with her mother's family.
