Chapter 238 New Year (2)
Mu Bai smiled in a weird way, but her face was not smiling. It was unclear whether she was joking or scolding her son.
Caiwei stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you are jealous of the tens of coins of those boys, it is not worth anything. Let my mother also give you a few tens of coins as a gift. What do you think?"
Mu Bai choked and was about to curse with her loose eyelids, but suddenly remembered the words the old man told her not to anger them. It was the real thing to get the silver, so she swallowed the dirty words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Mu Zhongli heard the noise outside and ran out of the house. Seeing the second son's family, he ran over enthusiastically.
"Second brother, we've been waiting for you to come back. Dad and mom have been nagging all morning. Come on, what are you doing here? Come in."
As he spoke, he stretched his neck and shouted: "Fuer, Caier, come out quickly. Your second uncle is back. Come out and help get things."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door curtain of the main house was suddenly opened, and the two brothers Mu Chongfu ran out of the house like a whirlwind. When they saw the second uncle's family, they didn't even say hello and ran straight to the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the bundles piled in the carriage were exposed. When Mu Baishi and Mu Zhongli saw the bundles piled up like a mountain, they were so happy that their mouths were grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh, what a big bundle!"
Mu Baishi forgot Caiwei's unreasonableness and looked at the bundles in the carriage with her eyes almost popping out.
Mu Zhongqing also smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "Hey, Cai'er, you kid, be careful, don't break anything!"
Li and Caiping also came out after hearing the noise. Caiping was wearing a pink cotton short jacket today. This was her best dress, made two years ago, and now it was a little short. Because she had worn it for too long, her elbows had been worn out. Although she embroidered two big chrysanthemums on the worn parts, the pink dress with two cow dung-sized chrysanthemums looked so abrupt that it was unacceptable.
She saw Caiwei wearing a brocade fur-lined cloak, standing there elegantly, holding a gilded and gem-studded hand warmer in her hand, like a rich lady from a wealthy family, and she was so jealous that she wanted to kill someone.
She is the eldest daughter of the first wife. She is smart and clever since she was a child. She is loved by her parents and grandparents. She gets everything good at home first. For example, the only fine cotton clothes in the family are worn by her.
Mu Caiwei is just the daughter of the second wife who is not favored by her grandparents. Her family has been separated. From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the object of bullying and ridicule by herself. She has always only looked up to herself.
But now, she is wearing silk and satin, standing there proudly, with a cold and arrogant look, as if she didn't see herself. Even the most basic greetings between sisters are disdainful to her.
Why is she so arrogant? Why is she wearing silk and satin now, while I am wearing patched cotton clothes, and they are small and old? At this moment, she must be complacent in her heart, and must be laughing at myself and looking down on myself!
She has been a proud person since she was a child. This feeling of being compared to someone who is far inferior to her made her feel a nameless fire in her heart. She wanted to vent, but she couldn't find an outlet.
After Li came out, she was surprised to see the second house's family, especially when she saw Du's beautiful face that had returned to its original state. She was so jealous that she gnashed her teeth and wished that foxy face would die.
However, she was an adult after all, so she quickly suppressed her emotions, put on a friendly smile, and greeted politely with a smile: "Oh, why did you buy so many things? It really cost me money. Come in quickly, it's warm inside..."
