While he was talking, Wu Lian pulled a young woman in coarse clothes and a green cloth headband, and walked in.

"Dad...Mom..."

As soon as the second son-in-law of the Jia family entered the door, he started crying. When the two of them took a look, they knew that they were probably beaten by the second son-in-law again and came back to hide!

Jia Jincheng looked his daughter up and down, and sure enough he saw that the corner of her mouth was broken, and although her forehead was covered with hair, she could still see a big purple bump. Xiang did not feel sorry for her second daughter, so she cursed when she saw this,

"It's almost Chinese New Year, why are you back?"

Erlian's eyes were red and swollen, showing that she had cried. She replied,

"Mom, I can't help it. Guan Zhu has been walking around among relatives these days. He drinks wine every day..."

Jia Jincheng and his wife knew that the second son-in-law would beat the second daughter as soon as they drank wine. Jia Jincheng's face turned gloomy when he heard this. He was a little dissatisfied with the second daughter returning to his parents' home, but he didn't want to make the family cry in this year's customs, so he responded,

"Don't cry. Even if you come back, just stay at home for a few days!"

After hearing this, Xiang cursed and said,

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, what are you doing here? It's bad luck for a married daughter to celebrate the New Year at her parents' house!"

But Jia Jincheng had already spoken, so she couldn't say anything anymore. Fortunately, her second daughter interrupted her, so she was beaten less, so she went to the kitchen and pointed at her daughters. Got angry.

So for today's dinner, because Erlian came home, she added half a dried rabbit. Jia Erlian ate it voraciously, crunching the bones of the rabbit and swallowing it in her stomach. When her sisters saw her like this, they all Secretly feeling sorry for her, no one picked up the rabbit meat in the bowl. Only Jia Youchuan glared at Jia Erlian.

"Erlian, what are you doing back here? You have already married into the Guan family. You are no longer our Jia family!"

How dare you come back to snatch meat from him!

Jia Jincheng frowned after hearing this.

"Lao Qi, what's not the Jia family? This is your second sister!"

After saying that, Erlian took a look, the bruise on his face became more and more obvious, and said to Sanlian,

"I'll boil an egg later and give it to your second sister..."

Sanlian nodded, Jia Youchuan glared at Erlian dissatisfied, stretched out his hand and pulled the bowl of rabbit meat in front of him...

After finishing the meal, the sisters returned to the house. Sanlian peeled the boiled eggs, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and carefully rolled them on her forehead. Erlian looked blank and let Sanlian use the hot eggs to rub them on her forehead. The rubbing of her forehead and corners of her mouth made Si Lian and the others feel pain when they looked at it, but she didn't even move her eyes. She was clearly used to it. San Lian was so heartbroken that she cried and said,

"Second brother-in-law, why are you so cruel?"

Erlian sighed, closed her eyes, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye, and replied after a while,

"Third sister, this is my fate. He... he... he is still quite good when he doesn't drink!"

Sanlian felt sad for a while, then shed tears and said,

"He is just an alcoholic. How can he not drink alcohol?"

After hearing this, Erlian just closed her eyes and said nothing. Several sisters were feeling uncomfortable beside her. Silian had an angry look on her face.

"Second sister, you are too cowardly. Are you going to let him beat you for the rest of your life?"

Erlian didn't speak. Wulian and Liulian looked at each other with fear on their faces. They were younger and had not yet gotten married. Seeing their sister's miserable state, they were so scared that they did not dare to get married. Got it!

That night, Erlian stayed at her parents' house. Early the next morning, the sisters were woken up by Xiang. The one who worked at the stall and the one who cooked breakfast made breakfast. Sanlian took Silian and Wulian out of the house. Erlian and Liulian were left at home to serve their parents and brothers.

Jia Jincheng rarely slept in, so he got up late at night. After breakfast, he remembered that Qian'er had agreed to his daughters' request to buy fabrics, and went out with his hands behind his back.

He walked on the street until noon, found a tavern and had a drink and two side dishes. In the afternoon, he went to the goulan to listen to music for a while. Seeing the snow falling outside and the sky getting dark, he thought about buying something.

The fabric came home.

The children at home have all returned. Jia Jincheng called Sanlian over.

"You are getting married, I will use this material to make you a bedding..."

When he took it out and looked at it, it was a piece of water-red cloth. Sanlianxi's face blossomed into a smile.

"Thank you dad!"

Jia Jincheng called Jia Youchuan again,

"Let your mother make clothes for you with this piece of material!"

Jia You was overjoyed and complained,

"Dad, if you didn't buy it earlier, the Chinese New Year will be coming tomorrow and you won't have time to do it!"

Xiangshi hurriedly coaxed him and said,

"Don't be afraid, your second sister is back, let them catch up in a few nights, and they can catch up with the clothes for the festival!"

Jia Jincheng called Silian over again and gave her a piece of material.

"I think this material can be used to make a skirt. You can make one to wear..."

Si Lian was also very happy. He took the cloth and opened it with Wu Lian and Liu Lian. They found a piece of fine soft satin with a light yellow color. It was so soft that it seemed to melt when held in his hand. Wu Lian and Liu Lian knew this.

The skirt was shared by them, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. The three of them said in unison,

"Thank you dad!"

Jia Jincheng was very happy. He raised his hand and wiped his beard under his chin, nodded and smiled. When Xiang saw it, he immediately said with dissatisfaction,

"Master, San Lian is getting married, just buy it for her. What are you buying for these girls who are losing money?"

Especially Silian, she is the most spoiled and supercilious person, so if you buy it for her, you will be blind!

Jia Jincheng glared at her,

"On New Year's Day... don't make me unhappy!"

Xiang didn't dare to say anything.

After all this stumbling and noisy, New Year's Eve finally arrived, and the guilds in the court went to the palace to congratulate the emperor on the New Year. However, the vendors in the market went out of business, and the daughters of the Jia family finally got a few days of rest.

, I don’t go out to do business until the fifth day of the lunar month.

Jia Zuo worked diligently on errands this year, and was appreciated by Lord Fu Yin. When the new year came, he was given an additional 30% of the silver reward. As a result, the Jia family had a New Year with meat, vegetables, new clothes and firecrackers.

There were many daughters, so everyone worked together and quickly organized a table. In Jia Silian's eyes, the New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous.

After all, it was the New Year's Eve, so Jia Jincheng didn't give Xiang a look, and Xiang didn't mention her parents' family to spoil her husband's happiness. She just ate dried fruits and got angry at her daughters.

Even if the parents didn't quarrel, Xiang's family just made a fuss as usual. Jia Youchuan had new clothes and firecrackers were set off, but there was no fuss. So the Jia family had a very happy New Year. On the first day of the new year, Jia Jincheng took Jia Yu

You Chuan went to a colleague's house to pay New Year's greetings and got a lot of dried fruits and candied fruits. When Jia Youchuan came back, Jia Youchuan took them all into his house, put them in a porcelain jar, and carefully hid them under the bed, preparing to keep them for later eating.

On the second day of junior high school, Jia Jincheng led a large family to Xiang's house in the south of the city. Xiang's face was dark all the way. Jia Jincheng really kept his word this time. He took the whole family to Yue's house to pay New Year's greetings, and only brought a dried

Xiang felt that she had no face because of the chicken and a piece of bacon. When she thought of my mother's mean and ferocious face, Xiang was afraid from the bottom of her heart.

Last night, she had been begging Jia Jincheng,

"Master, how about we bring the box of dried fruits that you rewarded in the Yamen?"

Jia Jincheng said coldly,

"Didn't your two brothers bring some dried fruit preserves back first?"

Xiang thought for a while and said,

"Then... let that damn girl Si Lian bring out the good stuff you bought. Her second uncle's daughter, Zhen'er, is also getting married. As an aunt, why should I also add some makeup?"

Jia Jincheng smiled coldly,

"Didn't you give them the two pieces of green cloth in front?"

Seeing that her husband was resolute and unable to persuade her, Xiang simply went to her daughters' house and started rummaging around. Unfortunately, Si Lian and the others were on guard and hid the good things early. Xiang was in the house. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the fabric, but I found the maltose in the bamboo basket on the beam.

"Okay! How dare these damn girls steal food behind my back!"

Xiang held the last piece of maltose in his hands, angrily came out and grabbed Si Lian first and asked,

"Tell me...did you steal the money from the stall to buy candies?"

Si Lian blinked and replied,

"Mom, this is given to us by the customers at the stall..."

Xiang was furious, raised his hand and slapped Si Lian.

"You little kid with a foreign heart, you hid it and ate it at home, even if your parents gave it to you!"

Jia Youchuan on the side was also very angry when he saw it, and echoed,

"It's just... mother... she dares to hide it from me. If you go search their house again, there might be some more!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xiang to go in, he ran in and searched. None of the sisters said anything. Not long after, Jia Youchuan came out with a look of unwillingness, pointed at the sisters and said,

"You said...where did you hide the candy?"

Si Lian responded,

"It's just such a piece. We saved it for New Year's Eve, but before we even ate it... my mother found it!"

Xiang and Jia Youchuan didn't believe it, but they almost demolished the house and only got a piece of maltose. In the end, they gave up with a curse. Xiang cut the piece of maltose into two pieces with a knife and gave one piece to his son. , wrapped it together and prepared to take it back to her parents’ house the next day.

Afterwards, the sisters gathered together. Sanlian patted her chest in fear and whispered to Silian,

"Fortunately you reminded me, I hid that piece of cloth somewhere else..."

Si Lian nodded. She knew which piece of cloth San Lian was referring to. The third sister would be getting married in two months. Then she would stuff the things into the bag and take them away. They must not let them find it!

In this way, Mrs. Xiang returned to her parents' house with only a piece of maltose in her arms. She walked in anxiously. The second and third sons of the Xiang family knew that their eldest son-in-law did not let them take advantage when the second and third sons came back. , so when he saw the Jia family coming over, he had no smiles on his face. When he saw that Jia Jincheng only had a chicken and a piece of meat in his hand, his face became so gloomy that water dripped from his face.

Jia Jincheng had known for a long time that they would be like this. After all, he was working in the yamen and had seen many living and dead people. No matter how ugly the faces of the two elders of the Xiang family were, they would never be uglier than the corpses that died of unjust deaths. He sat calmly and calmly. Next, he even asked about Xiang Er and Xiang San.
