Ch. 22
Recently, things have been a bit turbulent at Old Liu's house. Since Liu Jinfeng came back, Old Liu Shi has been cursing all day long and seems to dislike everyone.
Daya and Erya were not talkative to begin with, and now they have become even more taciturn.
"Mom, have you seen Jinbao today? I don't know where he has gone again. He has been missing recently." After a period of recuperation, Xiao Liu Shi was finally able to get out of bed and walk around. After looking around for a while and not finding her man, she complained.
Xiao Liu Shi found that since she started to protect her pregnancy by lying in bed, Liu Jinbao had gradually changed. He spent less time at home and was a little indifferent to her, and sometimes Xiao Liu Shi could smell some smells on him that did not belong to him.
She knows her own man. Liu Jinbao is actually a lazy, somewhat lustful, and soft-hearted person. Thinking back to when her mother said that marrying her second cousin would make her family closer, and with her aunt as her mother-in-law, her life would not be too bad.
So she believed her mother's words and married her second cousin. Who knew that her mother wanted to marry her to her second cousin just for the betrothal money of a few taels of silver from her second cousin's family?
After getting the betrothal money, her mother immediately arranged a wife for her younger brother. Fortunately, her mother gave her the dowry that should have been given to her.
After marrying her second cousin, Xiao Liu Shi found that her life was not as good as her mother said. The second cousin was not as diligent as he seemed but was actually quite lazy. And his eyes were not honest. If she hadn't been watching him closely, he might have had someone else outside.
Because of the betrothal money, her mother-in-law didn't look at her well for a while, but compared with her eldest sister-in-law Wang Shi, her life was relatively good.
The younger sister-in-law, Liu Jinfeng, was the treasure in her mother-in-law's heart. Her status at home was higher than her two brothers, but she was not a good person. She always instigated her mother-in-law. With her at home, the whole day was noisy. Fortunately, she was married far away later. Otherwise, she didn't know what she would do to this family.
"What's the matter? You're looking for a man every day. You can't live without a man, right?" Liu Shi said unhappily.
"It's just a baby. Look at the village. Which wife is lying in bed for so long when she's pregnant?" As a mother-in-law, Old Liu Shi was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xiao Liu Shi had to take medicine to preserve the pregnancy and lie in bed to recuperate.
