After hearing the eldest daughter-in-law's comfort, the two elders gradually put away their sad expressions.

Doctor Xu pointed to the things on the ground and said, "These are all things given by Commander Wen. I saw that the basket of strawberries was big and fresh. Commander Wen also gave them more. Let's share some for both of the in-laws."

Because of his excellent medical skills, Dr. Xu often goes to and from some official homes. Although many people give him fresh seasonal fruits, it is not common to have such a big, red and full-colored strawberries. It is so big that they can be so big. Dr. Xu thought that it would be best to eat strawberries in one or two days, otherwise they would rot, which would be a pity.

Mrs. Xu was distracted by her husband's words, walked to the center of the room, opened the frame of strawberries and looked at it. It turned out to be big and fresh, and such strawberries were rare.

Seeing that there was a big basket several times larger than a strawberry basket, I thought it was also a fruit that was big apples, so I opened it casually. When I saw it, I saw it, Mrs. Xu exclaimed: "This Chief Wen is really generous. At this time, such a large basket of fresh vegetables is enough for our family to eat for several days." In addition to these two fruits and vegetables, there were also two cans of tea and two pieces of brocade on the table. The brocade was a big red hibiscus pattern and a dark green pine and crane pattern.

After seeing the material, Mrs. Xu smiled and said to her eldest daughter-in-law: "I can't use such bright red satin, or you young people are wearing festive clothes. You can divide it into two parts, and you and your second wife are half a pair. You can keep it at the end of the year to make a jacket and wear it more shiny during the New Year."

Mrs. Xu quickly refused: "Mother should keep such good materials. My daughter-in-law has no shortage of new clothes. It's still early to the end of the year."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "I don't even have a daughter. Why do I do with such materials? Take it. I see that the cotton jacket you made this year during the Chinese New Year is apricot yellow. If it is not as festive as this red color, the second wife's one will be cleaner. Go and tell her that she can keep it well, and dress up fresher during the Chinese New Year next year, so that Xiao Nana can leave with peace of mind." After hearing this, Mrs. Xu hugged the material.

...

Speaking of this, after Wen Tingzhou sent Doctor Xu away, he had just arranged for the second aunt and the other two to use some food. Mama Qi brought someone over. Seeing that Wen Tingzhou was still here, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, the lady said that it is not convenient for her to see the guests at home. So he asked the old slave to bring these two maids to serve him."

"We don't need a maid to serve you. We can do things ourselves if we have them. There is no need to be so troublesome..." The second cousin's aunt quickly refused and said

She herself is a country woman and does not need to be treated by her maids and mothers.

"No need, go back and tell your wife, tell her not to worry about her, and be at ease during confinement. I will handle these things." Wen Tingzhou didn't want his wife to worry about these common affairs during confinement.

When Qi's mother heard what he said, she retreated and went back to the yard to speak Wen Tingzhou's original words to Mu Yun.

"Since he doesn't let me worry, I'll take a break! But you still have to watch and don't neglect the guests." Mu Yun ordered his mother.

Mama Qi smiled and replied to leave.

In the afternoon, Madam Yun came to Wen's mansion to visit Mu Yun. After entering the house for a while, she said, "I accompanied Qingkong to the Bai family to celebrate her birthday this morning. When I entered the door, I heard that my mother Qi talked to me. Did someone come from Tingzhou's home?"

"Yes." Then Mu Yun told Aunt Yun about the purpose of his second aunt's family and Xiao Nannan. Wulei also sighed: "This cousin has met someone wrong!"

"Oh... it's not!" Nanny Lian Yun sighed after hearing this.

After Madam Yun left, the second cousin's aunt came over and said she wanted to see Mu Yun. Soon the maids invited her into the inner room. Mu Yun was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by the second cousin's aunt.

Finally, Mu Yun said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm really embarrassed. You and your cousin came here from afar, but I didn't treat you well..."

"It's okay, it's important for you to go through confinement. This woman, her body will not leave any disease after the confinement is done."

Mu Yun responded gently, without considering himself at all, nor did he look down on his second aunt, a rural woman, which reassured his second aunt a lot.

Before she came, she was worried that Brother Yan's daughter-in-law would not be a good match.

Mu Yunjin'er heard what Qi's mother said, but she didn't know if it was right, so she asked, "Auntie, I heard from my husband that his grandmother's second cousin's cousin is very well married! It is said that it is also a well-off family in your town."

"Oh~ I'm just a mistake. When we were looking for someone, we saw him two or three times. We looked at him, but we didn't expect that the family members would be so cruel. If I knew, I wouldn't let Yulan marry him. If the Magnolia's family really had no money, it would be fine, but I saw that the Magnolia's family always had a few dozen taels of silver. How much can a child spend to get sick? Yulian always earns hundreds of copper coins to one tael of silver every month? She can't spend money on her husband's money. But Yulan's husband is not a good man, so he won't treat his daughter if he doesn't let him save him? Who is this?"

After saying that, the second cousin's aunt shed tears and continued, "My Magnolia married to their family and worked as a cattle and horse. Although her in-laws lived in the town, she didn't have to go to the ground, but a woman got up every day to do housework, and she did embroidery work from dawn to dark. She gave all the money she earned from dawn, and she couldn't lose a penny. When she was pregnant with her first child, her belly was bulging and her husband's family didn't allow her to rest, otherwise a good brother wouldn't have just been shed. If I hadn't taken my two daughters-in-law to take care of her, she wouldn't have even allowed her mother-in-law to finish her confinement period. At that time, Yulan wanted to divorce her, so I shouldn't have stopped her. This time, I almost took my granddaughter's life." The second cousin's aunt said regretfully while crying, Mu Yun and the mother Qi next to her had to comfort her carefully.

Mu Yun was not surprised at all. The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls has existed in all eras. Even in the 21st century when he claimed to be equal to men and women, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls still exists.

In fact, she really didn't understand and didn't know what these people were thinking. Even outsiders who were not related by blood wouldn't have the heart to watch a living life be buried in front of her. Is it not that a life is more important than a few taels of silver?

In this world, there are female students and female officials, and women can go out to do things openly, but only a small part of them benefit. The fate of those girls from ordinary families is still tragic. Mu Yun felt angry but helpless, so he could only suppress his indignation and let the people in the mansion take good care of the little Nannan.

...

Xiao Nannan woke up once in the afternoon and also urinated and defecated. Yulan fed her some rice soup and she fell asleep again.

Looking at her daughter's sleeping little face, Yulan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said firmly to her mother: "Mother, this time, I must be separated from each other. I no longer want to stay in that cold and ruthless home. If I stay, I am afraid that our mother and daughter will even lose their lives."

Then she knelt down to Wen Tingzhou and his mother who came to see Xiao Nannan and cried, "Please help me with my cousin and mother. I will repay you even if I tie a weed and ring in the next life." The second aunt quickly pulled her up, hugged her and cried, "My poor daughter!"

Wen Tingzhou stood aside and asked, "Cousin Magnolia, have you really figured it out? If you figure it out, it's all your own flesh and blood. I will definitely help you with this."

After hearing this, Yulan nodded desperately: "I can't think clearly, cousin."

Everyone was afraid of arguing with the little Nannan in the room, so they moved the room to the next room and talked.

After all, it is not a trivial matter, so you have to discuss it well. Yulan is worried about her daughter, so she asked a little maid to take care of her little Nannan there.

After arriving at the main hall, Magnolia's second brother Zhuzi first spoke: "Harmony is not a trivial matter, have you thought about it?"

Yulan nodded: "I've thought about it. Second brother, you guys have seen this time. Even if I don't leave me and Nannan, I will be sad at that house. There are no outsiders in this room, so I will just say it. When I first had my first child, the doctor said that I was not in good health. Later, although I tried my best to take care of my daughter, it was still not good. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the offspring in the future."

After pausing, she said again: "What's more, the people in the in-laws don't regard me as human beings, they all treat me as a money tree. None of them, including my husband, really feel sorry for me."

"Every day, my mother-in-law only stares at me for needlework and follows me every time I hand in my job, for fear that I would secretly hide it myself. I earn two or three taels of silver for my mother-in-law every month, eat porridge, and wear clothes and cloths when I got married." At this point, she wiped her tears.

"My parents-in-law only loves their eldest grandson and younger son, and devotes himself to my brother-in-law to study and take the scholarship. My husband also expects his brother to become prosperous in the future to support him. Most of the money I earn is for my brother-in-law to spend on studying, but this ungrateful wolf has gone to the dog's belly. Nannan is his niece after all, and he doesn't care about helping her when she is sick, for fear that the child will delay my work and make money. Later, when he sees that the child is not going well, he is afraid that he will spend money at home, so he coaxes my mother-in-law to get Nannan away quickly..." Yulan said while crying.

My second aunt didn't know these inside stories before, and she murmured: "Your brother-in-law looks like a very polite child on weekdays!"

Yulan gritted her teeth and said, "It's just a show for people to show it! My mother thought that the town's official family would know the news that Nannan was seriously ill so quickly, so she rushed to buy Nannan to match her. It was not because my brother-in-law and a concubine of the official family were classmates, and this matter was indispensable to my brother-in-law's business."
