Skillful Wife of Military - C21

With such a big hat, He’s was unable to even lift her head up. She was stunned for a good while before she whispered: “Mother, what are you talking about? “How could I …”

“Why don’t you know how to? Since Xue Wu is so old, you don’t even know how to manage and let the child mess around. You will roam about randomly in my house, and when you go out, you will not even know what’s going on. If you do something like stealing the title of a thief, you will definitely harm your man, do you know that? Also, you don’t know how to clean up your house all day long, do your jobs, sew clothes and embroider flowers when you have nothing to do, and also earn some money to buy food and drinks for your man. If you aren’t out walking around, then this is just scolding, this is just scolding, and this is messing up a good house, how can Third Brother’s luck be good … … … … … … … … …. “Xiao Li’s disease got more angry as he spoke, he felt that Xiao He had been blaming He’s for all these years.

The more He’s heard, the redder he became, the more he did not dare raise his head. He never would have thought that Xiao Li’s disease would actually attribute the reason for Xiao He not being able to become an Elementary Scholar to him, to his own body. She had always been the most favoured daughter-in-law in the family, and had never been lectured like this.

Realizing that all of this could be caused by that little bitch, He’s could not help but sneakily glance at Xu Hui.

Seeing that the Xiao Li’s disease had scolded him, Xu Hui quickly passed a cup of water to him. Seeing that the Xiao Li’s disease had finished drinking, he then turned to Xiao Pao and Xiao Li’s disease and said, “Master, mother, I was also in the wrong today. I was too scared and angry, so I lost my composure and attacked Xue Wu, but I also did it for Third Uncle’s sake, afraid that it would affect Third Uncle’s reputation and ruin our family’s future!”

He’s grabbed onto the conversation point, “That’s right, father, oh mother, you all didn’t see, little one, how ruthless did she hit Xue Wu just now. If I didn’t run fast, Xue Wu would have been beaten to death by her!”

Xu Hui turned to He’s and said, “Don’t speak nonsense Third Aunt, I just hit Xue Wu’s butt twice with a broom. Children are mischievous, Third Aunt, you as a mother should take more care of them, Third Uncle needs to test his reputation, how can our children be like the children in the village? Master, milk, don’t you think so?”

He’s was furious listening to her. Her own child had become a wild child, but since a New daughter-in-law dared to talk to her like this, she would tear apart the little slut’s mouth!

But before waiting for He’s to take action, Xiao Pao knocked on his pipe and said, “Dazong’s daughter-in-law is right. Ol ‘Three’s daughter-in-law, our child is not young anymore, and cannot get used to it, much less outside. Ol’ Three is about to take the examination, my family must be peaceful and kind, who would dare to affect Ol ‘Three’s exam — —” Xiao Pao looked at He’s and Xiao Xuewu sternly, then looked at Xu Hui and Niu Niu.

Xu Hui smiled and said, “What I said was right, I will take care of Niuniu and not let her run around randomly!”

He’s could only say: “I understand father, I will … take care of Xue Wu!”

Xu Hui looked at He’s with a smile: “Today, I helped Third Aunt discipline the child, Third Aunt won’t blame me, right?”

In front of Xiao Pao and Xiao Li’s disease, the only thing He’s could do was to squeeze out an ugly smile, “No way!” Dammit, it would be strange if she didn’t. Right now, she really wanted to skin this little bitch alive!

Xu Hui was jealous. “I’m doing this for Third Uncle’s own good. If Third Uncle manages to pass the exam in the future, my wife will be the Elementary Scholar’s wife. We’ll all have to follow her and bask in her glory!”

Hearing that, He’s’s face became better, but Xiao Li’s disease’s face became ugly.

That’s right, in the future when Third Bro tries to become an Elementary Scholar, He’s will be an Elementary Scholar, and compared to himself, an Elementary Scholar, He’s would be even more prestigious in front of outsiders. How could the Xiao Li’s disease allow others to take advantage of his, and how could he allow the He’s to stand shoulder to shoulder with his in the future? He immediately decided that he had to be more strict with the He’s in the future and let her know who made this decision.

What needed to be done was said, what needed to be said was said. What needed to be said was done, and what needed to be said was buried, Xu Hui successfully retreated, hence she pulled Niu Niu and said goodbye to Xiao Li’s disease and Xiao Pao, then walked past He’s and Xiao Xuewu to her room.

He’s almost vomited blood due to anger from Xu Hui’s disdainful glance. She felt that she had been played for a fool today, clearly wanting to take advantage of Xu Hui, but being taken advantage of. She was not done well, even when her son was beaten up, it was all for the sake of the future of the family!

He’s was very angry, but he knew clearly that this Dazong’s daughter-in-law was not someone to be trifled with. Not only was he not to be trifled with, he could not afford to offend him.

Xu Hui brought Niu Niu back to her room, she touched Niu Niu’s face and asked softly, “Niu Niu, did sister-in-law hit Xue Wu scared you?”

Xu Hui ruffled her hair and said softly, “Your brother left. They all wanted to bully us, so sister-in-law beat Xue Wu up, letting them know that even if your brother wasn’t at home, we wouldn’t be easily bullied. In the future, you don’t have to be afraid of us alone, just like today.

Xu Hui was afraid that Niuniu would grow up in such a living environment and develop a cowardly personality. If he went out, he would be easily bullied by others, so she wanted to teach her a little bit of toughness. As Niuniu grew older, she could not stay close to her and had to have her own social circles. Before this, Xu Hui had to teach her so that she would not be bullied the moment she stepped out of the door.

However, Xu Hui had never thought that Niu Niu’s current thoughts were: ‘Sister-in-law is amazing! Sister-in-law is awesome! In the future, she will be like Sister-in-law. Whoever dares to bully her, she will smack them back!’

With this thought in mind, Niuniu embarked on a path Xu Hui would never have thought of. She also did many things in the future that Xu Hui would never have thought of.

She believed that the He’s would behave for a few days after today’s lesson. With the example of the He’s, other people would also think twice before finding trouble with her.

Because of this torment, the sky had turned dark. They hadn’t even eaten dinner yet. Xu Hui packed up all the food on the table and stuffed the meat into a cake for Niu Niu to eat first. She boiled the meat with water and prepared to cook some porridge.

Niuniu sat on the stool with Xu Hui as she watched Xu Hui burn the cake. Xu Hui smiled and said to her, “Niuniu, eat well and grow bigger. In the future, you can go out and play with other children. Niuniu, do you like to play with other children?”

Niu Niu nodded, Xu Hui smiled and said, “You can’t just nod your head, you have to say it. If you don’t say it, others won’t know what you want to do, how can I play with you?”

“Yes!” Xu Hui rubbed her head and said happily, “Niuniu’s words are getting better and better. She’s so smart, you know how to teach!”

“Hello sister-in-law!” Niuniu raised her head and looked at Xu Hui. Xu Hui held her face in her hands in pleasant surprise, “That’s even better. Who taught you that?”

Niu Niu pointed at herself, Xu Hui smiled and asked: “You think about it yourself?”

“En!”

“What a good child. Come, tell your sister-in-law that I thought about it myself!”

“I … I … I … I … miss myself!”

“Well said, I’ll say it again!”

“I, myself, think, think!”

“Niuniu is awesome! I’ll say this again after eating some cake!”

Under Xu Hui’s careful teaching and encouragement, Niuniu was becoming more and more talkative. She had gone from the first word, one word at a time, to the second, and now, she was even able to say a complete sentence from time to time.

Teaching Niuniu to talk had become the most important thing for Xu Hui besides weaving.

Regarding weaving, Xu Hui remembered that the best silk fabrics in Jiang Prefecture were sold for about twenty to thirty taels of silver each. White cotton was sold for about three taels of silver each, and weave cloth was sold for about one tael of silver each.

There were very few people weaving here in Mingzhou. Cloth was trafficked over from outside the city so the price would be slightly higher than in Jiangzhou. Xu Hui heard from Aunt Wei that the white cotton was sold for three and a half taels of silver each. According to her current speed, she could weave a piece of white cotton cloth in about ten days. The average family would earn seven and a half silver taels if they could get three a month. However, they were still far from Xu Hui’s expectations.

Because they did not raise silkworms, it was difficult for Xu Hui to buy cheap silk threads. Therefore, at the moment, he could not weave the most valuable or profitable fabric. But she wasn’t going to knit the quickest white cotton either. She decided to knit the twill cloth, which was also very high quality cotton in Stonecroft. It was about one or two dollars a cloth. Weaving denim was slower than knitting white cotton. Xu Hui could probably weave two pieces a month now, but the better thing was that the cost of yarn would not increase by much. The two pieces of denim could earn Xu Hui around two or three dollars a month, which made him satisfied for the time being.

She planned to save money for the weaving of cloth so that she could help the Xu family get a set of loom s. That way, the Zhou’s and the others could make money to support their families. In the end, Xu Hui wanted to get a weaving machine to weave that weave that weave yarn that was as valuable as gold.

Although she was in a hurry to earn money, Xu Hui did not use his body as a price. She only weaved one hour every morning and four hours in the afternoon. She did not stay up all night to ensure a normal rest and activity time.

Since he needed to weave cloth, after Xiao Dazong left, Xu Hui spent most of his time at home with Niuniu. Other than having three meals a day, he spent most of his time teaching her how to read and write.

The vegetables and eggs that were needed could be bought from Aunt Wei’s house. The He’s, who loved to cause trouble, was tidied up by Xu Hui and did not dare to show her face for the time being. The other Xiao Family members, who had been instructed by the Xiao Pao to create a good environment for Xiao He, were all quiet.

On this day, Xu Hui got up and cleaned up. She was in the middle of making rice bracts for breakfast.

Although Xu Hui knew how to cook, that was only for cooking. She had never cooked any pasta before, and things like steamed buns and steamed buns were even worse. Xu Hui had been learning for so long, but the cake she made was still not soft enough. She was afraid that Niu Niu would not digest it easily, so they often had some thick bract for breakfast. This way, they wouldn’t need to eat a main dish to fill their stomachs.

Xu Hui had just poured the stir-fried rice noodles into the pot of boiling water when she heard a knock at the back door. She quickly walked over.

He then opened the door. The person who came in was the big girl from the Wang family, who came in regularly to deliver firewood and water. When she saw Xu Hui open the door, Wang Daniu, who had thick skin and was slightly dark, smiled foolishly and carried two buckets of water on his back.
