Chapter 68 Fighting for Satin

Some people are so weird, what they see is never what they have in their hands, but what they see is better in other people's hands. Chen Aju is such a person.

Once Chen Aju starts making trouble, Mrs. Hu will definitely lose her temper.

Isn’t Chen Ye a good face? Let him see the greedy faces of his wife and daughter, and feel ashamed of his face. Also let Chen Ming and Wang see that this is not just a matter of a few pieces of satin, and don't just say casually whether they will give it to them or not in the future.

At the same time, he can also see more clearly in the big house, who is worth paying attention to and who should be guarded against.

However, Da Ya did not dare to give her the crimson or red satin that she originally planned to cut. Even Chen Afu himself did not dare to make such bright satin at the moment.

If Chen Alan has a piece of cloth left over from making clothes, let her make a short bib for Daya. The little girl was beaten very pitifully by Mrs. Hu that day, and her cries made Chen Afu feel heartbroken.

Chen Afu gave himself and Wang a brown piece each, and Chen Ming, A Lu and Dabao each pulled a bright blue piece. Each person only does one body first.

In fact, Chen Afu doesn't like brown satin at all, it's too old-fashioned. However, it is difficult to make other kinds of satin now, so I have to use it to make a long skirt first.

Except for the two pieces of satin cut for Dabao and myself, which were left here, the rest were taken to the old yard.

Chen Ming could tell that Chen Afu was not very happy. He sighed and said, "My parents don't want to give it to Mrs. Hu... Hey, for your uncle's sake, just give it to her once."

Chen Afu pouted, "Once? What if she wants it again?"

Chen Ming said, "Let's just say there is no more satin."

Chen Afu added, "Because of her greed, we don't even dare to wear the satin we earned, and we have to keep it at the bottom of the box? In the future, if my mother and I wear a silver or gold hairpin, and she comes to ask for it again, what will happen?" What should we do if our family has good things and builds a big house, and she asks us to build a bigger house for her? "

This is Hu's style.

Chen Ming opened his mouth, not knowing what to do. In the past, my family was poor and there was nothing that Hu valued. Now that I have money, I can't keep it under the box. More than ninety taels of silver were already buried under his box. Such a large amount was something he had never dared to imagine before.

But now they just don’t dare to spend it.

Even if they don't spend it now, Alu will definitely have to build a big house when he marries his wife in a few years. If Mr. Hu desperately wants money, what should he do?

For the sake of his eldest brother's original affection, he would even be willing to spend dozens of taels of silver so that his eldest brother would enjoy happiness and less fatigue in the future. But he didn't dare. As long as he took out the money, Mr. Hu would think that he might have more money in his hand and would find ways to beg endlessly.

Chen Ming sighed helplessly and said, "You and Dabao are having a better life. You can still buy the things you like, buy some fields, and build a big tile-roofed house. After all, you have separated and established a separate family. Your uncle is shameless. She wants it from me, but she can't get it from my daughter who has established a separate family. She wants these satins, they are not big things. She can't let them go from your hands, and dad can't be your master. . As for my parents...hey, let’s live like this for now.”

Chen Afu added, "I think respecting my uncle does not mean condoning Mrs. Hu. She should give her whatever she wants."

Chen Ming opened his mouth again but said nothing. He also knows this reason, and he doesn't want to give it to Hu. However, things always develop to the point where he has to give even if he doesn’t. Thinking about Chen Shi, a shrewd person, he was so scared by Hu that he did not dare to return to the village.

Chen Afu glanced at the troubled Chen Ming and said no more. Let’s stop here first. Some concepts are slowly changing. Besides, the right to speak is in the hands of powerful people, and their second wife is still a little weak now.

That night, Chen Ming and Wang went to the first room to deliver satin. Mrs. Chen's satin was left in the second room, and Wang would make it for her. Before they left, Chen Afu gave another instruction.

I heard from Chen Ming and Wang after they came back from the big house that Chen Aju frowned when she saw the satin and said why not give more. Two and a half feet of satin is not enough to make a dress, only enough to make a bijia or a shirt. Or a long skirt. Besides, this color is old-fashioned and not suitable for young ladies to make clothes.

She saw the two feet of beautiful blue satin in Gao's hand, which was for Dahu. She wanted to go there and said she could make a coat. It would be a pity for children to wear satin clothes.

Chen Agui's face darkened, and Mrs. Gao gripped the satin tighter. Chen Ye and Mrs. Chen scolded her a few times before they dared to continue begging.

When she saw the crabapple red satin for Chen Alan, she was so excited that she reached out to grab it.

Alan was so frightened that he quickly ran away and locked the satin into the box as quickly as possible. She could give in to her sister in everything else, but she would never give in to this piece of red satin, and she liked it very much. Thinking of the day after her wedding, wearing such a gorgeous and beautiful dress and going to the bedroom with her handsome husband to meet her parents-in-law and relatives, she smiled at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Chen Aju burst into tears when she saw Chen Alan locked the beautiful satin into the small box, and said, "I like that piece of red satin. I am fairer than the eldest sister, and I will definitely dress better than the eldest sister."

When Madam Hu saw her little girl crying, she asked Madam Wang unhappily, "Master Tangyuan only rewarded you so much? Didn't Ah Fu leave a few feet?"

Wang strictly followed what Chen Afu taught, "No more. The master of Tangyuan only rewarded Afu with a few feet. Afu thought that Alan was about to get married, so he gave it all to Alan, and she didn't even keep a piece of cloth. "

Mrs. Hu usually loves her little girl more, so she said to Alan, "I'll give your sister two feet, and each of you can make a little coat."

Chen Alan also burst into tears when she heard this. She felt very wronged. She was about to get married, and there were only a few feet of good cloth, but her sister was ignorant and fought with her, and even her mother followed her.

Old Mrs. Chen was unhappy and said, "Alan is about to get married. If the bride dresses up nicely, her son-in-law will like it. It was not easy for my cousin to give me a piece of beautiful material, but my sister was ignorant and fought for it, and my mother still indulged her."

Chen Ming also frowned and scolded, "You are still my sister, even Ah Fu can't compare to you. Ah Fu knew that Alan was getting married, and would rather not wear it herself and give it to your sister. You still have the nerve to fight with your sister. You are really spoiled by your mother."

Chen Aju looked at the satin in her hand, and she felt that it was not good. The red satin was beautiful, so she burst into tears, "I just like that piece of red satin. My elder sister is so selfish. She's already engaged, why does she wear such a beautiful dress?"

Chen Alan felt very wronged and cried, "I have always given you everything since I was a child. Am I selfish? You should speak with conscience."

Chen Aju shouted, "If you are not selfish, just give me that piece of satin." Seeing that Chen Alan did not move, she said, "Humph, you are obviously selfish, but you say it nicely."

Chen Alan felt even more wronged and cried even louder.

Chen Yeli raised his eyes and yelled at Chen Aju, "That satin is for your sister, don't fight for it anymore. If you make trouble again, I will beat you with my big shoes."

Usually, Chen Aju would not dare to make a fuss when she saw Chen Ming was angry. But today she really wanted that piece of satin, and she also boasted to Hu Cuicui that she could make at least two beautiful clothes. Now not only did she not have two sets, but she didn't even get the most beautiful satin. She was unwilling to accept it. She didn't care about Chen Ming's scolding, she jumped up and down and cried.

Chen Ye was so angry that he took off his shoes and hit Chen Aju a few times, but was pulled away by Chen Agui and Hu.

Chen Aju was beaten, and she ran to the side, stamping her feet and crying.

Hu was very distressed to see her little girl like this, and said to Wang, "Sister-in-law, please buy a few more feet of satin for Aju. My Aju is now in the marriage stage. If she dresses up beautifully, it will be easier to find a good family."

Thank you for the sachet of the cute little Mengyue, and thank you for the purse of Jane and Rose, Hera x-on:Qianlin
