Chapter 1331 How Did You Become an Evil Mother-in-Law? 16

Chapter 1331 How did you become an evil mother-in-law? 16

Yan'er looked at her mother, then turned her head to look at Qin Gu cautiously, "Grandma..." Even her voice was soft.

Although she is small and introverted, no matter whether it is the master or the servants in the back house, they are talking about grandma leaving home.

She heard them say that grandma was kicked out by grandpa, that grandma was a jealous woman, that grandma was fighting for property with her son for herself, that grandma...

But mother went to tell her that grandma just wanted to change to a new home and live a more free life.

It is said that grandma has worked hard all her life, and grandma deserves everything.

Hong Huiyan is probably more than five years old now, but she looks a little pale, her body is thin and weak, and she looks timid, not as tall as Bao'er.

In fact, the difference between Yan'er and Bao'er was less than a year. Not long after Yan'er was born, Hong Wenyue married the Jin family and entered the door. It took only five months to enter the door, and Bao'er was born.

"Hey——" Qingu responded with a drawn out voice, and a smile blossomed on his face.

Putting the little girl into his arms, he gently stroked the child's hair with a hand like a withered vine, "Our Yan'er is five years old this year, tell grandma if you want to study?"

Yan'er looked at Qingu—actually, she didn't spend much time with the client before, and every time she saw the client, she would always put on a face, and people around said how vicious this old woman was.

Even Bao'er said that grandma is very vicious, that if she can't read, she will smack her palms, and she is not allowed to eat sugar cakes...

But this close contact, she found that grandma is not as fierce as they said.

He didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Ling Shi again.

Ling quickly responded: "Mother, Yan'er is still young, and girls... no, no need..."

Of course, she wanted her daughter to read and write, but the current conditions did not allow it. At Hong's house, she asked Yan'er and Bao'er to study together, but she was rejected by Wen Yue for other reasons after only two days there.

She can't afford to invite her husband at all. If she accepts her mother now, wouldn't she be burdening her mother for nothing?

Qin Gu understood the reaction of the little girl and Ling Shi, and made up her mind in her heart that when she settled down, she must ask her husband to teach Yan'er well.

This hour and space is somewhat different from the feudal society where men are absolutely superior to women. Here, as long as they are harmonious, women can also set up female households, women can also participate in scientific examinations, and there are even female officials in the palace.

There were several well-known female officials in the previous dynasty, who did a lot of good things for the court and the people.

It’s just that the society’s positioning of women is to bear children, support husbands and teach children. As far as childbearing is concerned, a woman generally has to bear at least four or five children in her lifetime. Just giving birth to confinement and taking care of children will take up a woman’s energy and physical strength The most prosperous ten or twenty years. Moreover, having a child and raising a child is also a very labor-intensive thing. If it is not well maintained, a woman will basically be very old at the age of forty. And a man can not only use the time a woman has to give birth to and raise children to do things, but he is still very energetic at the age of forty.

This is why most women can only live in the back house in the end, and when they are old and young, they have to accept their husbands as concubines and are willing to manage the back house.

While Qingu was discussing with Ling Shi, the quiet Yan'er suddenly said: "Grandma, if you didn't learn how to read, would you hit Yan'er's palm?"

The two looked at her at the same time, where did they talk just now?

Why did you say you were going to hit her in the palm?

Ling Shi was at a loss, she never taught the children these things, and she didn't let those servants teach the children casually, for fear of leading a blank child in such an environment. But she can guard against adults, but she can't guard against children.

Yan'er is about the same age as Bao'er, and they have studied together for a few days, and children often play together.

Ling Shi didn't react, but Qingu immediately understood what the little guy meant.

Qingu smiled and said: "Yan'er, do you know why some people can be famous all over the world and enjoy endless glory and wealth even if they don't come from a prominent background? Because they have studied. Only by studying can you really live a good life, and how can you live a good life?" You can help the people you want to help. The first step in reading is to be literate. Many people don’t have the opportunity to read even if they want to, but when such an opportunity is in front of you, if you don’t read well, you will be beaten.”

This principle is not difficult for children in the current time and space to understand.

Yan'er stared at Qingu fixedly, "Grandma, I understand. I...I will work hard, and I will let grandma and mother have a good life in the future!"

Qingu hugged the child again, and kissed and kissed on the other's small forehead in great relief.

…………

Back to the topic just now, Qingu asked Ling Shi if Wen Yue knew she was here to see her off.

Ling said that she had greeted Wen Yue, saying that she was sending the child to grandma's house to play, and she accompanied the child.

Wen Yue frowned and said, in that case, you should stay with mother for a few more days and help mother settle everything.

In fact, when it does not involve your own interests and does not need to be done by yourself, as a son, you are still very "filial"-let your daughter-in-law do filial piety for your mother on your behalf.

This farm is called Cuipingzhuang, more than 50 miles away from Lixian County, next to Cuiping Mountain, and there is a shallow slope next to it. Because there is no river passing by, irrigation is very difficult, so it depends on the sky for food.

In addition, the soil quality is very compact, and there are a lot of gravel mixed in it, so we can only plant some drought-tolerant crops casually, and how much we can harvest depends on God's will.

Cuiping Village employs ten helpers, six strong men and four middle-aged servants, except for six who live nearby and come to work every day. The other four lived in Zhuangzi with their families.

More than 30 acres of poor-quality land and the surrounding barren hills are barely enough for these people to eat and drink, and occasionally send some local products to the Hong family.

Qingu's arrival surprised everyone, could it be that the master came to inspect their farm work? I felt a little uneasy, after all, they used to ask the steward to go to Hong's house every year to report the harvest or something.

In fact, there are still many operable places in private. This time the master came to check in person, what if something was found out and they were fired?

However, they heard that Qingu had reconciled with Master Hong, separated, and moved to live here.

Will the dignified old lady of Hong's family live in this corner from now on?

Their terrified expressions immediately became a little playful.

Oh, it turned out that Master Hong didn't want him, and he was driven to Zhuangzi.

So, if the other party wants to "fire" them, it's better to...

This is the outskirts of the county, and the environment doesn't look very good, but the news is not blocked at all.

Under the seemingly simple and honest appearance of these helpers, their minds are also very sensitive.
