    On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yi Xiaomei got up early in the morning.  In front of the dressing table, I parted my hair in the middle, braided two braids, and tied them behind my head.  A red sweater with a half turtleneck, and a jacket of the same color, with a small suit collar.  On the right collar is a sequined butterfly brooch given to her by her younger brother.  After rubbing some snow powder on his face, he smiled at himself in the mirror, feeling that he was still a passable beauty.

    After finishing all this, he walked to the bed, pushed Ma Juyuan who was still under the bed, and urged him to get up.

    "Wake up soon, I'm going to a small fishing village today to pay New Year's greetings to your mother-in-law!"

    Ma Juyuan turned over and said, "What's the rush, anyway, let's have lunch there."

    "My cousins ??are all going today. My mother must be very busy. I have to go back and help. Get up quickly and bring Jingchen over."

    "Jingchen is going back too?"

    "Nonsense, it's New Year's Eve, why doesn't he go back?"

    "Didn't he say he would stay in the factory and watch the gate for Uncle Liu?"

    "I told Uncle Liu that Jingchen will go back with me today and won't show him the gate."

    Ma Juyuan lazily sat up from the bed, and asked Yi Xiaomei for clothes: "Bring me the clothes."

    Yi Xiaomei gave him a turtleneck sweater and padded jacket from the closet, but he was not happy: "I wear a suit and a white shirt."

    "Are you wearing a suit on such a cold day?" He said so, but still gave him his gray suit and white shirt.

    Ma Juyuan put on his shirt, buttoned it up, and said to Yi Xiaomei, "Don't you think it's strange why Jingchen didn't go back during the Chinese New Year?"

    "What's so strange about this, I don't want to hear my parents nagging."

    Ma Juyuan shook his head: "I don't think so. No matter how much you hate your parents' nagging, it's impossible not to go home during the Chinese New Year. I heard that he committed a crime and fled to us."

    "What nonsense are you talking about?"

    "I'm not talking nonsense." Ma Juyuan put on his trousers, walked to the closet, and took out a sweetheart-neck sweater, "It's strange for him to come to work, and the work has been arranged for him, and he has been unwilling  Come here, it¡¯s the end of the year. I heard that two days before he came, Xu Xiangfeng from your town was arrested on the charge of gang robbery. Didn¡¯t your father say that Jingchen has been in the hospital since he came out of the winery?  Follow Xu Xiangfeng?"

    After listening to Ma Juyuan's analysis, Yi Xiaomei became suspicious.  But after all, he is his own younger brother, and he still maintains his words: "Being with Xu Xiangfeng does not mean that he has also robbed! Jingchen is usually a fool, but he is very clear about right and wrong, he would not do such a thing  Things. Besides, if he really did such a thing, would the people from the Public Security Bureau come here?"

    "I didn't say that he did such a thing? But everyone is spreading the word."

    Yi Xiaomei said: "I don't care what other people say, you can't go out and talk nonsense."

    "Don't worry, I don't want to have a brother-in-law who is a robber!" He put on his suit and tie, and took a picture in front of the full-length mirror, "But you still have to ask your mother clearly when you go back.  Is there such a thing? If Jingchen has something to do with the robbery, our family will be involved in the crime of harboring and covering up!"

    Yi Xiaomei's face was ashen: "You are afraid that my brother will hurt you, right?"

    "No." Ma Juyuan saw that his wife's face was not right, and immediately smiled, "I mean, we are all a family, and there is no need for our parents to hide it from us. Knowing the details, we can think of a way to deal with it in advance!"

    Yi Xiaomei remained silent, she was obviously dissatisfied with Ma Juyuan's explanation.

    She and Ma Juyuan have been married for more than a year. When she first married him, the Ma family was still poor and poor, and they had a lot of debts when they married a daughter-in-law.  In order to pay off the debts, married into the Ma family and worked almost day and night. The garment factory had to take care of the field work when she got home from get off work.  Old clothes are passable and still wearable.

    Ma Juyuan also made a report from a small clerk in the beverage factory and went to sales.  In the first year, he ran into two big deals and got a lot of commissions. The leaders also looked at him with admiration.  It took a year and a half to pay off all the family debts.

    Since then, the mother-in-law has become a little arrogant when speaking in front of her, as if paying off the debt is all due to his son, and being able to marry their Ma family is a blessing she has cultivated for eight lifetimes.

    Occasionally, I went back to my natal home, and when I came back, I heard a neighbor complaining to her, saying that her mother-in-law was talking about her outside, and when she went back to her natal home, she secretly moved things from the Ma family to her natal home.

    For these words, at first she laughed them off.  These days, who is looking forward to whom?  If she really wants to get along with someone because of other people's gossipThe mother-in-law made a fuss, but it made people laugh.  But after hearing such things too much, it's impossible for her to not have any grudges in her heart. She believed that her mother-in-law must have said something outside, and there is no wave without wind, otherwise others would not rush to complain.

    After hearing Ma Juyuan's words today, she felt very unhappy.  She believed that her mother-in-law often nagged in front of her husband, saying that she had used the money to support her natal family.  Ma Juyuan looks generous on the surface and likes to save face, but he is as stingy as his mother in his heart.

    Alas, who can be blamed?  If you want to blame, blame your mother's family for being too poor, and my younger brother for not living up to expectations.

    But because of this, will I be looked down upon by them?  When she married their Ma family, the Ma family was also poor, and Ma Juyuan was not like Jingchen, just messing around all day long?

    Ma Juyuan had already gone out on his motorcycle, and came back less than ten minutes later with Yi Jingchen on his head.

    The two stood downstairs and shouted to Yi Xiaomei to quickly grab her things and go downstairs, ready to go.

    Yi Xiaomei went downstairs carrying two bottles of wine from Xiao Jing Yi Zhengjun, two boxes of royal jelly from Xiao Jing Feng Ruiying, and a net bag of fruit.

    The mother-in-law was standing in the corridor knocking sunflower seeds, but her eyes were fixed on the things in Yi Xiaomei's hand.  Yi Xiaomei felt uncomfortable, and hung the fruit on the handlebar of Ma Juyuan's motorcycle.

    "When are you coming back?" asked the mother-in-law.

    "Come back after eating." Ma Juyuan said.

    "It's rare for Xiaomei to go back. If she wants to stay for one night, let her stay for one night." The mother-in-law pretended to be righteous, "Don't worry about family, there are me and your dad at home."

    Yi Xiaomei had no choice but to show a virtuous look: "Thank you, Mom."

    "Family, thank you for nothing. Go back and say hello to your parents for me!"

    Ma Juyuan had already started the motorcycle, and Yi Xiaomei stepped on it first and sat in the middle.  Yi Jingchen sat at the end.

    When the car drove out of the yard, Yi Xiaomei's mother-in-law yelled from behind: "Slow down! I don't know if this motorcycle can handle the three of us, it's such a long journey!"

    Ma Dafu, who was sitting in the corridor basking in the sun, said: "Stop shouting, I can't hear you."

    She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat next to her husband: "See, two boxes of royal jelly. Yesterday I was only given one box."

    Ma Dafu said: "She didn't buy cigarettes for her father, but bought me a pack of cigarettes."

    "That's because her father doesn't smoke!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
