"Miss Anxiu, please come in." Hearing the knock on the door, the sister-in-law hurriedly opened the door to welcome An Xiu into the room, asked her to sit down, saw the purse in her hand, and asked suspiciously, "This is it?"

An Xiu said with a smile: "Sister Niu, I have been staying at your house for the past few days, and I have caused you a lot of trouble. I am really sorry. After thinking about it, I don't have any other good things on me, just thinking..."

Before she finished speaking, the sister-in-law repeatedly refused: "Miss An Xiu, you are too polite, no need, I really can't accept your money." She thought she had silver in her purse.

An Xiu shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's not money, it's just some small things in the purse." She opened the purse, took out embroidery needles, thimbles, wool, small scissors and other tools one by one, and pointed to the roomand said: "Madam Niu knows how to weave, right?"

The sister-in-law nodded: "Yes, but I can only weave the simplest coarse cloth." Coarse cloth, also known as earthen cloth, is made of cotton and silk, and is the most commonly used cloth by ordinary people.

An Xiu said: "It's good to know how to weave coarse cloth, and it's easy to learn other things. Mrs. Niu has taken care of me for several days. I have nothing to thank you for. After thinking about it, the ability of weaving and tailoring is not bad. I will follow you."Let's communicate."

The sister-in-law was very pleasantly surprised: "Really? Miss An Xiu, what kind of cloth do you know?"

An Xiu smiled: "Brocade, damask, silk, satin, linen, coarse cloth, I can do it." Of course, I can do it. She was a Weaver Girl originally, with a Tisuo in her hand, and even the clouds in the sky can be woven into brilliant clouds.

The sister-in-law was very envious now: "Miss An Xiu, you are really amazing, you will get so much! But... how can I feel sorry? You saved Cowhand, we should repay you, how can I still lickWhy did the face ask you to teach me such an important craft?"

An Xiu smiled and shook his head: "I rescued Cowhand with little effort. I can't just sit and watch a life disappear in front of my eyes without asking for anything in return. My sister-in-law stayed with me for several days despite not being close to me., and you are so kind to me, if I don't thank you well, I will feel really sorry."

"I thought, my sister-in-law is very old-fashioned, so she definitely won't accept cash; I also thought that instead of giving money, it would be better to teach you how to weave and tailor clothes."

The sister-in-law obviously also understood this truth, she was so moved, she held An Xiu's hand with tears in her eyes, and thanked her non-stop.

An Xiu said: "I also saw you and Big Brother Niu working hard and running the house in a down-to-earth way. That's why I wanted to help you. I hope you can live a better life step by step."

Sister-in-law nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, miss An Xiu, you are really a good person, your heart is as kind as a fairy in the sky!"

An Xiu slightly bent the corners of her mouth, isn't she a fairy now?

In the following time, Anxiu demonstrated how to weave linen and satin with his sister-in-law, while quietly insinuating about Cowhand.The sister-in-law got An Xiu's kindness, and she has long regarded her as her best friend, and she was completely unguarded. As soon as An Xiu started, she would pour out the bottom of her mouth.

An Xiu asked: "I heard Brother Niu mentioned several times that Cowhand rarely comes to your house. But aren't Brother Niu and Cowhand blood brothers? Why does it sound like they have little contact?"

The sister-in-law paused for a moment, and said, "Our two families separated as early as ten years ago."

An Xiu asked: "But Cowhand looks like he is only 20 years old. The family separated ten years ago. Wasn't he only ten years old then? Why so early?"

The sister-in-law's complexion suddenly turned a little ugly: "Miss An Xiu, did you hear some people outside say that our family is not good? Alas, every family has a difficult scripture to recite. If it is not really helpless, I am not so vitriolic.Such a cruel person, how could he forcefully insist on breaking up the family."

An Xiu asked again: "Oh? What happened ten years ago? It stands to reason that even if the family is separated, they are still brothers of the same root and origin. It is common sense that we should keep in touch more."

The sister-in-law sighed heavily: "Oh, Miss An Xiu is not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. My husband-in-law is ten years older than Cowhand, and my father and mother left early. The husband-in-law almost regards this younger brother as aMy son raised me, so let’s not mention the hardships of those years. Ten years ago, when I married into Niu’s family, I planned to get along well with my younger brother, Cowhand, but it was really difficult, too difficult!”

"My father and mother spoiled Cowhand when they were alive, and my husband spoiled him too. He is a big boy, eats a lot and does little work, which makes me and my husband work hard every day, but it is difficult to make money every month. IThinking that we will have children in the future, we have to be more diligent and frugal, so I said a few more words to Cowhand, and he complained to my husband. During that time, my husband and I quarreled countless times.”

"A few months later, I was pregnant and I was not feeling well. I wanted Cowhand to do more work. I don't want to do more work in the field, so I have to help with the work at home? He still doesn't want to, thinking that housework should be done.It was what we women did. I had no choice but to do it myself, but my tire was gassy and I almost failed to keep my little stone."

"I can't take it anymore. For us mothers, the most important thing is the child. He made me almost lose my child. I can't bear him anymore! So I finally got tough and let my husband choose.Do you want a wife and children, or a lazy brother? Fortunately, my husband did not disappoint me that time and chose me."

An Xiu nodded: "So that's the case, Mrs. Niu worked hard all those years ago."

The sister-in-law sighed: "Yes. Of course it was really hard. Fortunately, I made it through."

An Xiu made a "hard to say" expression, and asked again: "But Brother Niu and Sister-in-law Niu seem to be kind people, why I heard in the village that you treated Cowhand harshly when you separated?All the property under him, only a dilapidated thatched hut and an old Yellow Ox that he raised since he was a child?"

The sister-in-law suddenly became very angry: "Which bastard is ignorant of my conscience and gossips behind my back, can you say such a thing? I split up not only for myself, but also for Cowhand, he is good! If he lives with usOne piece, if a gentleman is used to him, he will never be able to stand up!"

"When we separated, we only gave Cowhand a thatched hut and a cow, but the thatched hut was not broken. It was built with the cleanest and strongest thatched grass and branches after a whole month of hard work.! That cow is not the old Yellow Ox, it was growing up ten years ago, so it is worth a lot!"

"Miss An Xiu, you probably don't know that cattle are very, very precious to our farm family. That Yellow Ox is the most valuable property of our family! We are willing to give it to Cowhand, the conscience of heaven and earth, I am sorry for him!"

An Xiu nodded: "So that's the case. The rumors outside are really unbelievable, it's too outrageous."

The sister-in-law had tears in her eyes: "Yes, yes, my husband and I treated Cowhand very well. When we separated, what we left for ourselves was a slightly larger thatched hut and a few acres of thin land. Father and motherThey are all poor, so they didn’t leave much property at all, so how can they score? Cowhand also has a strong yellow ox to help with the work, but we have a pear head and a hoe to dig the ground by ourselves!”

"Our current brick and tile house was built by the two of us bit by bit with blood and sweat! It has nothing to do with Cowhand!"

An Xiu patted her on the shoulder: "Sister-in-law Niu and Brother Niu are hardworking people, so life is getting better and better."

The sister-in-law said: "Yes, we are different from Cowhand."

An Xiu asked with a smile: "Oh, Mrs. Niu means that Cowhand is lazy? Why do I hear people in the village say that he is very diligent after the separation of the family? In the past two years, he has knocked down the original thatched house and built the current wooden shed.Woolen cloth."

The sister-in-law smiled and said: "Compared to when he lived with us, he is indeed much more diligent. Isn't he forced? If he doesn't eat or wear clothes, he can't eat if he doesn't work. Don't you have to be diligent? But once he hasOnce you have food and clothing, you will be lazy again."

"How should I put it, Cowhand is really diligent when he is diligent, but most of the time, he still does not change his nature and is lazy. You see, he has been running to our place every day for the past few days, just to eat delicious food and drink, shamelessVery thick."

An Xiu lowered his head, the smile didn't reach his eyes.The purpose of Cowhand is not just for eating and drinking, but also for her.

"By the way, Miss An Xiu," the sister-in-law lowered her voice and asked next to An Xiu's ear, "Are you really friends with Cowhand?"

An Xiu shook her head: "It doesn't count, I just know each other. However, you and I are friends, Mrs. Niu."

The sister-in-law suddenly smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows: "Hey, hey, then I am really honored to be friends with Miss Neng An Xiu. Miss An Xiu, what are you not used to here? If there is anything you don't understand, don't be polite.Just tell me, we are friends, I won't hide anything from you."

An Xiu responded with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Mrs. Niu."

After An Xiu taught his sister-in-law how to weave for a while, seeing that the rain had stopped outside, she opened the window and said, "It's finally sunny."

The sister-in-law looked at the sky and shook her head: "It will rain again in a while. For some reason, it has been raining non-stop for the past few days. But if it wasn't for the rain, I wouldn't be able to keep Miss An Xiu to stay for a few more days.Thinking about it this way, I hope this rainy season will last longer."

An Xiu also looked towards the sky, and said meaningfully: "The wind and rain will always pass."

"Tomorrow must be a sunny day."

She concluded that it was raining every day these days, it was definitely not accidental, but man-made!

Who else could have done it?It must have something to do with the old Yellow Ox reincarnated from Taurus!

You want to repay the favor to Cowhand, and you should repay it yourself. Why drag the innocent Weaver Girl down?

Oh, so to speak, Cowhand is really the same as the old scalper. He repays An Xiu for saving his life, which is also a generosity of others.

The firewood room at this time.

While chopping wood perfunctorily, Cowhand chatted with his elder brother about the family.

The eldest brother wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Brother, it's not a big deal if it rains every day. I thought, if the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, I'll take an ox cart to take Miss An Xiu home."

When Cowhand heard this, he became anxious!
