She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 188

Seeing that Gu Qingqing really didn't understand, Luo Meihua put away her smile and said, "Sister-in-law, there is something to say here. When a girl is born, the gift is also 20 steamed buns, and the weight of each steamed bun cannot exceed two taels. When a boy is born, the minimum weight of each steamed bun must be over two taels."

After Luo Meihua's simple explanation, Gu Qingqing instantly understood. One was no more than two taels, and the other was no less than two taels. Although the difference seemed small, there was an invisible trench in the middle.

My daughter was looked down upon from the moment she was born.

Gu Qingqing nodded with clear eyes, "I understand. Then you can add whatever else you want, right?"

"If you have the intention, you can give the child a cloth cover or a quilt, and give Xiaocao a few eggs or a piece of meat. But don't give too much. Although we farmers also want to wear gold and silver, we are afraid that if we give too much, the child will not be able to suppress the blessing. If you have the intention, you can make up for it slowly in the future." Niu Li also said.

The three of them then talked for a while, and when Gu Qingqing felt the light in the room was getting dim, she said goodbye.

"Okay, I understand. I'll prepare it tomorrow. Aunt, Meihua, I'll go back first. You guys go ahead with your work. Remember to come to me if you have anything." After Gu Qingqing said the last sentence, she secretly exchanged glances with Niu Li.

Niu Li also nodded to her secretly.

"Sister-in-law, I'll see you off." Seeing that she was about to leave, Luo Meihua stood up to see her off.

After leaving the house and entering the yard, Gu Qingqing listened carefully to the east room. It was very quiet inside, so she thought the child must be tired from playing and went to sleep.

When she got to the gate, Gu Qingqing didn't rush to leave. Seeing that no one was around, she asked her curiously, "How big were the buns you received when you gave birth to Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang?"

Luo Meihua lowered her head and smiled, "Xiaoyang is the older sister, her steamed buns are only two taels each, Xiaoguang's are bigger, six taels each."

"Six taels for a steamed bun? How can such a big one be steamed?" Gu Qingqing was surprised. She didn't feel sorry for the flour, but she was worried about how to steam such a big steamed bun.

When Luo Meihua heard what she said, she knew that what she wanted to do was probably something big.

At this time, Xiaoxiao said, "Of course it can be steamed. I think the big sister-in-law will make a lot of it. You can make the dough rise tomorrow morning and I will help you."

Gu Qingqing nodded, but stopped halfway through nodding, and suddenly said, "One more thing. I went to town today and bought some pig offal. Since you're going to help me steam buns tomorrow, I'll make some for Yang Xing and the others, and they can sell them there."

When Luo Meihua heard that she was finally going to make the pig offal to be sold in Taohua Town, she nodded hurriedly, "Leave it to me, I'm going to town."

Gu Qingqing gave her a resentful look, "Didn't you just say you would help me steam buns tomorrow?"

Luo Meihua's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled obediently, "You can go to the dough in the morning and I will be back around noon. I won't delay your business. Sister-in-law, you don't know, I've been used to going to town for the past two months. It's snowing these few days and I'm feeling bored."

"You should enjoy yourself when you should. Why do you live a life of toil?"

"I don't feel tired. You can go and ask around in the village. That person earns much more than me!" Luo Meihua deliberately showed off in front of Gu Qingqing.

What she said was correct. Even though the men in the village were already participating in charcoal burning, at the moment, they were not as well-off as she was.

"Okay, I'll leave you less tomorrow." After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she saw Luo Meihua nodding happily. She suddenly said with a flash of intelligence, "It's definitely not possible to pull a cart on a snowy day. You have to put the load in a basket and carry it across. Fortunately, Yuzhu is not busy these days. You can just let him follow you and help you carry the load. This way it may be faster. In addition, the weather is bad now. I will give you an extra five cents a day when you go to town."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't want your subsidy. The thirty cents you give me every day is already too much for me. Now if you want to give me more, I won't go." Luo Meihua said angrily.

"Haha, you're still angry. Fine, just pretend I didn't say that. Go back to the house. I'm coming."

Gu Qingqing said that the matter was over, but in her heart she was thinking about giving her only employee a red envelope at the end of the year.

There is no sun today and the sky is a bit gloomy. Normally it would be still early at this time of day, but now the light is already mixed with black dust.

The snow under Gu Qingqing's feet made a crunching sound. She couldn't figure out why rice and steamed buns were given as gifts when a baby was born.

It was not until she entered the yard that she heard Erhua say from the kitchen, "Grandpa Yang, your cooking smells so good. Although I just ate an egg, I can still eat a lot of rice."

Gu Qingqing suddenly understood that sending rice and steamed buns was to let the mother have something to eat.

Every household in the village lives like that. The things sent by the daughter’s parents are just to make up for the loss of their daughter.

In the final analysis, it was all caused by poverty. After figuring it out, Gu Qingqing finally felt relieved. Her steps became lighter as she headed towards the kitchen. The sounds of conversation inside could be heard one after another.

"Hahaha, if you like Grandpa Yang's cooking, can I make it for you every day?"

"Ah! Then forget it. Although I also like the dishes cooked by Grandpa Yang, I like mother's cooking more. If I can't eat the food cooked by my mother often, my little belly will miss it."

When Gu Qingqing walked to the door, she saw Old Yang cooking. Erhua was sitting on a wooden stool in front of the stove, lowering her head and patting her belly gently.

As for Daxin, who was in charge of making the fire, he was squeezed into a corner.

"You often don't eat the food cooked by Grandpa Yang, don't you miss it? Oh, Qingqing is back." Old Yang was talking when he noticed someone at the door. He turned around and saw it was Gu Qingqing who had returned.

Erhua looked up hurriedly when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was her mother who had returned, she immediately stood up from the wooden block and rushed towards Gu Qingqing, "Mom, you're back!"

Gu Qingqing caught Erhua and said to Old Yang, "Uncle Yang, why are you bothering me to cook? Wuyan, just leave it there, I'll do it!"

Gu Qingqing rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

"I saw that it was not completely dark yet, so I asked him to go read first. Wuyan said he would make a dish of cabbage and tofu stewed with meat oil, so you don't have to get involved. I'll do the rest."

Seeing that Old Yang didn't give up his seat, Gu Qingqing didn't fight for it either. She patted Erhua on the shoulder and said, "Go to the front yard and call your father for dinner. Uncle Yang, please stay here first. I'll go check on Sanhua."

It was not until dinner time that Gu Qingqing suddenly realized that something was missing from the house. She sat on a bench in the kitchen and seemed to be craning her neck to look outside, but she was actually wondering whether she had met Dahei when she came back today.

After a while, she asked Li Xin, "Da Xin, why didn't I see Da Hei today? Isn't he the most active during mealtimes? Was he accidentally locked in your room?"

Li Xin used to eat with Old Yang and Wen Wuyan, but only recently he managed to eat at the small table.
