Song female man
Chapter 36
After taking Lu Quan to put the beans away, Shun Niang turned around and said to Lu Quan very sincerely: "Third brother, I sent you back last night and I have already told my sister-in-law about your heart, she said She doesn't want to leave Xi's family, and doesn't want to remarry."
Lu Quan was stunned after hearing this, stared at Shunniang, then stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve and shook his head, "No, no, you must be coaxing me, you are the one who stopped her from remarrying, right? Fortunately, you are still my second brother, you...you..."
When Shunniang heard him say this, she got a little angry, and scolded him not to talk nonsense, every word she just said was true, and if she coaxed him, she would be punished by heaven.
After hearing Shunniang's words, Lu Quan still didn't give up, saying that he had to meet Qi's face and listen to her tell him that she didn't want to remarry before giving up.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go find my sister-in-law right away, and let her tell you directly." After Shunniang finished speaking, she turned and went to find her sister-in-law.
When she went upstairs, she found her sister-in-law, who was holding Hui'er and was sitting uneasy on the bedside, and asked her to go downstairs and make it clear to Lu Quan, otherwise Lu Quan would not give up, and she comforted Mrs. Qi not to be afraid. beside her.
Mrs. Qi nodded silently, and followed Shunniang downstairs. When she went downstairs, Shunniang asked her to hold Huier, but Kecheng also stayed in the front room. She took her sister-in-law to meet Lu Quan at the back, and followed him say clearly.
Mrs. Liu asked Shunniang to be next to her daughter-in-law to avoid any accidents.
Shunniang agreed, and she felt that Lu Quan might do something crazy, so there was some reason for my mother's worry.
Mrs. Qi followed Shunniang with her head down and walked into the bean sprouting room in the backyard. Then Shunniang spoke and asked Lu Quan to ask her sister-in-law what she was thinking.
As soon as Lu Quan saw Qi Shi coming in, his eyes lit up, he walked towards Qi Shi excitedly, Qi Shi saw it, backed away uneasily, and retreated to hide behind Shun Niang.
Shunniang had no choice but to remind him: "Third brother, you scared my sister-in-law..."
"Oh, I... I was confused as soon as I saw her, I backed up... backed up..." Lu Quan came back to his senses, knowing that his move was a bit inappropriate, so he hurriedly backed away until he reached her. He stopped just where he was standing.
Shunniang then pulled her sister-in-law out from behind and asked her to speak to Lu Quan.
Mrs. Qi wrung her hands, lowered her head, and said in a soft voice: "Nujia... I don't want to leave Xi's house. I want to stay in Xi's house for the rest of my life..."
Although her voice was low, the room was quiet, and both Shunniang and Lu Quan could hear her clearly.
"...No! You must have been forced by Xi's family to say that!" After Lu Quan heard this, his originally bright eyes dimmed instantly, and his face turned pale, but soon he blushed, excited He shouted loudly at Qi Shi.
Of course he didn't give up, he was still speculating about the possibility of getting Qi to change his words, maybe this sentence was also a kind of comfort for himself.
Qi suddenly raised her head, looked at Lu Quan, and said loudly: "No, neither my mother-in-law nor my uncle forced me. I don't want to remarry. I want to take my two children and stay in Xi's house for the rest of my life!"
"...Miss Qi, listen to me. If you are willing to follow me, I will correct my evil ways and do a decent job. I will only treat you well. I will love you and love you for the rest of my life. I will also respect your two children. Go out with me..." Lu Quan looked at Qi's helplessly, his voice was full of determination and pleading.
Maybe Mrs. Qi was also touched by his words and expressions, and hesitated for a while, but soon her face became determined, and she said firmly: "You go, I will not leave Xi's house no matter what !"
After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house, not forgetting to whisper to Shun Niang: "Uncle, I have finished all I have to say, and my family is going back."
Shunniang said hello, and when she looked at Lu Quan again, she saw his face full of pain, and watched Qi's figure disappear at the door of the house, his hands hanging by his sides trembled slightly, and mist appeared in his eyes.
"Third brother, are you alright?" Shunniang asked with concern as she had never seen Lu Quan with a playful smile.
Lu Quan stood in the room blankly as if he didn't hear Shunniang's words.
Shunniang went up, got closer to him, and patted his shoulder.
With this clap, Lu Quan seemed to wake up. He glanced at Shun Niang, suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed her away vigorously, and then ran out.
Shun Niang also ran out, and saw that Lu Quan had already run out of Xi's house, she followed to the door, and saw Lu Quan's running figure disappearing into the bustling crowd of people on the street.Inexplicably, Shun Niang was a little worried, she felt that this matter might not end so easily.If Lu Quan is a paranoid person, then this matter must never end.I hope he will not hate his sister-in-law because of love, and then do irrational things later, and because his sister-in-law rejected him, he will blame himself and fight against Xi's family.If this is the case, then Lu Quan's destructive power is definitely greater than that of Zhao Sanlang.
With this kind of worry in her heart, Shunniang turned around and went into the room, her mother walked towards her, took Kecheng by the hand, and asked Shunniang, "What did your sister-in-law say to Lu Erlang, and what did Lu Erlang say?"
Shunniang pretended to be relaxed and told her mother that her sister-in-law had rejected Lu Quan, and her sister-in-law said she would not remarry and would stay at Xi's house to raise two children. Lu Quan was so disappointed that she ran away.
Mrs. Liu was silent, and said softly: "Actually, my mother thinks that if Lu Erlang is sincere to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law may marry him. , when I was young, I was not very motivated, but didn't I get better later..."
Shun Niang laughed when she heard the words: "Mother, do you still know Zhou Chu? But, isn't there only one like Zhou Chu for hundreds of years?"
Mrs. Liu nodded after hearing this and said that Shunniang was right, not everyone can be Zhou Chu, and her daughter-in-law was right to reject Lu Quan, this woman is not sloppy in life-long affairs, if Lu Quan really has Qi's in his heart, then Don't just swear and swear, you have to live a human life for others to see.If he can really do what he said, on that day, this old woman will personally send Mrs. Qi to be his wife.
Shunniang couldn't help but praise her mother for being open-minded, for not keeping her daughter-in-law in her husband's house for the rest of her life like other mothers-in-law.
Liu said: "As a mother, she is also a widow. Naturally, she knows that it is not easy for a woman to be a widow. Your sister-in-law is not yet twenty. If there is a good marriage, you still have to work hard to make it happen."
Shunniang said that she thought so too, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, then Shunniang went upstairs and called her sister-in-law down, saying that Lu Quan had left and was fine.
Only then did Mrs. Qi come downstairs with Hui'er in her arms, and handed Hui'er to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, to take care of the housework by herself.
Shunniang looked at the sky and saw that it was still some time before dark, so she took an ax, firewood, sticks, ropes, etc., went up the mountain to chop two loads of firewood, and returned to dry under the eaves of the yard behind.
During dinner at night, she told her mother and sister-in-law that she was going to start working hard now. Sister Song Yu had already said that her shop needed 100 catties of mung beans every day. In this way, starting from tonight It takes five catties of mung beans a day to produce more than thirty catties of bean sprouts.And Shunniang also showed them the list of more than [-] foot shops that Sister Song Yu gave her that sold wine in the Songjiazheng Store, and said that in a few days, the foot shop above would sell some mung bean hair seeds I am afraid that they will have to bring two to three hundred catties of seeds into the city a day. If this is the case, they will be busy enough.
Mrs. Liu was taken aback when she heard this. She calculated that if two or three hundred catties of seeds were distributed a day, she would need to use thirty catties of mung beans every day. However, she and her wife were too busy.Then she did some calculations based on the price of ten yuan and three catties. If she sold three hundred catties of mung bean hair seeds every day, she would earn one thousand yuan a day. Stone money can earn at least four or five hundred cash a day.
"Four to five hundred words, that's a lot!" Mrs. Qi couldn't help being surprised when she heard her mother-in-law's settlement.
Shunniang smiled: "That's all. As long as we start this seed business, the money we earn will only increase day by day. At that time, we don't have to worry about the changes in the four seasons, and we will have stable money every day." Checked in."
Mrs. Liu began to calculate with her fingers again. If she received four or five hundred cash per day, and excluding food, drink and rent, she could save at least three hundred cash a day. Ten days would be three thousand cash, and one month would be nine thousand cash. arts.In this way, if you do the seed business for a year, don’t you have to save hundreds of dollars? In that case, you can go back to Xijiazhuang to buy back the sold houses and land of Xijia after a year , not only that, but also build another good house, and buy dozens of hundreds of acres of good land...
Shunniang listened to her old lady's calculations, and she went back to Xijiazhuang to buy land and a house after the calculations, so she couldn't help but ask her if she was willing to throw away the hundreds of thousands of annual income here and go back to Xijiazhuang.
Mrs. Liu was stopped by Shunniang, and to be honest, she couldn't bear it.
Shun Niang said: "Then it's over? However, we have saved a lot of money, so we bought a yard facing the street in Yangliu Town, so we don't need to rent other people's houses. In Xijiazhuang, we bought back the houses and land that we sold and hired people to plant them. This way, we can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and it is safe."
Both Liu Shi and Qi Shi agreed with what Shun Niang said, praising her for being thoughtful.
With goals in life, Xi's family is full of energy. After dinner, Mrs. Liu took her two children, and Shunniang and her sister-in-law went to wash the dishes, soak the beans, and water the bean sprouts that were distributed two days ago.
While busy with work, Mrs. Lu, his wife Li Shi, and Lu Zhan came over to talk to Shun Niang.
Shunniang went out and bowed to the three of them, and asked them to sit down and talk. Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of the three of them, she couldn't help but wonder if they came here for Lu Quan.
Sure enough, the next thing Mr. Lu spoke, he said that his youngest son Lu Quan left a note today, saying that he would leave home today and never come back again. Someone saw him running out of Xi's house in the afternoon, so they came here Ask Shunniang what happened at Xi's house in the next afternoon to make Lu Quan leave such a note saying that he would never go home again.
When Mrs. Lu said this, Mrs. Liu was also on the side. After listening to Shunniang, she asked if Lu Quan was joking. After all, she heard from Mrs. Wu next door that Lu Quan often ran out and would not return for three to five days. Home is also commonplace.
Mrs. Li answered with a crying voice. She said that her son not only left such a note, but also packed a bag and took away some of his clothes and money. This has never happened before, so she Believing that his son was telling the truth, he came to Xi's house to ask what happened, and his youngest son decided to leave home.
Shunniang didn't expect that Lu Quan would run away from home after being hit, but I don't know if this runaway was for a short time or for a long time. From this point of view, Lu Quan is still a sophomore in middle school. Undecided, I feel that my sister-in-law made the right choice, and Lu Quan is still too young after all.
So Shunniang took Lu Quan's fancy to her sister-in-law and wanted to marry her, but her sister-in-law rejected his words and told Lu Qian and his wife and Lu Zhan.
"What? There's such a thing!" Lu Qian got angry when he heard it, "This bastard has done such a shameful thing, he should go away, and never come back!"
After listening to Shunniang's words, Li Shi and Lu Zhan also felt that they couldn't hold back their faces. They apologized to Shunniang and Liu Shi, saying that Lu Quan was ridiculous, and asked them and Qi Shi not to take it to heart.
Of course, Shunniang and Mrs. Liu said it didn't matter, saying that Lu Quan was only a teenager with such a heart, and they also comforted Lu's family by saying that maybe Lu Quan would go home after he figured it out after running away for a while.
Lu Qian, his wife and Lu Zhan felt that their faces were dull, and immediately stood up, said goodbye to Shun Niang and Mrs. Liu and went back.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Liu told Shun Niang that Lu Quan still had a bit of a temper. She didn't expect him to run away like this. However, it was a good thing that he ran away. It was better than staying in Yangliu Town, where everyone looked up and looked down. Yes, it is inevitable to be embarrassed on the face.
As for Shunniang, she thought that if Lu Quan really ran away like this, would the Zhao family make something wrong again?Also, what should I do if the Zhao family continues to question me and Xi's family?
Although she had such worries in her heart, Shunniang decided to continue to live her life step by step.
Four or five days later, when Xi's family sent out [-] to [-] catties of mung bean seeds for the first time, and began to set up a stall in front of their house to sell the seeds, Mrs. Liu, who was standing in front of the stall, saw the wife of the Zhao family enter Xie's butcher shop next door.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help thinking, if this lady of the Zhao family wants to buy meat, she should buy it in front of the meat stall. Why did she go into the Xie family's butcher shop? Is she going to do something wrong again.For this former neighbor, Liu Shi is not very cold now, and always thinks that she is a narrow-minded villain who is always plotting to harm others.
She thought, should I take the time to go over and remind Mrs. Wu to be careful of Mrs. Zhao...
At this moment, in a small room used as a reception room at the back of Xie's butcher shop, Mrs. Zhao's family was talking to Mrs. Wu who was receiving her.
It turned out that the mother and son of the Zhao family went back and waited for Xie Yi and his wife to come to thank them with a thank you gift after they went to Xie's butcher shop and said bad things about Shunniang, but they waited and waited. They still haven't waited for Xie Yi and his wife to come to the door.
Zhao Sanlang complained in front of his mother that his mother was talking nonsense. Didn’t he say that Xie Yi and his wife would come to thank him with money and pork? It’s been so many days since there was no movement at all. He also sneered that his mother's old ginger looked like a bad piece of ginger, and it was no longer spicy.
After hearing what her son said, the lady of the Zhao family couldn't help but get angry, saying what she meant by going to Xie's house to see them. If the words of Xie Yi and his wife don't count, then don't blame her for telling about Xie Erniang being bullied by Xi Erlang. Let's see who in Yangliu Town dares to marry her.
Therefore, when Mrs. Wu received the wife of the Zhao family who walked into Xie's house with an unhappy expression on her face, the wife of the Zhao family spoke a little hard.
Mrs. Wu had discussed this matter with her husband Xie Yi long ago. They felt that Zhao's mother and son came to their home to provoke the relationship between Xi's family and Xie's family, which caused conflicts between the two families, so the thank you that Xie Yi said earlier was of course It doesn't count, and it is even more impossible for them to come to the door with thank you gifts to thank Zhao's mother and son.
However, they also unanimously decided that if the wife of the Zhao family came to talk about this matter, they would talk to her well, comfort her, and even bring her a piece of meat to go home. Jealous of the Xie family, thus spreading unfavorable words about her daughter in Yangliu Town.For a villain like Mrs. Zhao who is greedy for cheap, she can neither be offended, nor should she be flattered, otherwise this kind of person will definitely push her forward.
Mrs. Wu received Zhao's wife according to this principle, saying that she and her husband have been busy recently and have no time to go to Xie's house to thank them. Regarding her daughter's affairs, she also invited Mrs. Zhao's family to eat tea fruit, saying that the tea fruit that was put out was a good one that she bought from Bianliang City recently.
Seeing that Mrs. Wu had a good attitude and invited herself to eat good tea and fruit, the lady of the Zhao family gradually calmed down. She began to eat tea and fruit while saying that she knew that Xie Yi and his wife were busy people who were doing big business, so they didn't It's normal to come to Zhao's house empty-handed.
In order to appease the wife of the Zhao family, Wu later called a man and asked him to go out and cut two catties of fat meat in, and bring it back to the wife of the Zhao family in a while.
The man responded and left, and after a while, he brought in a piece of meat, but it was not fat meat, but a piece of fat that was always wide, and the rest was lean meat.The lady of Zhao's family was a little disappointed when she saw it, but thinking that she didn't come back empty-handed this time, Mrs. Wu also asked the staff to cut a piece of meat and give it away, which is better than giving herself some bones.
Ever since Zhao's father and son lost five pennies in gambling in Qi Dalang's gambling shop, and Zhao's family collected money to pay off the gambling debt, the whole family hasn't eaten meat for so long. The Zhao family's wife saw this piece of meat at this moment , Just like a very hungry wolf seeing a sheep, it can pick and choose.
Mrs. Wu's gesture of goodwill immediately made Mrs. Zhao feel complacent, thinking that Xie Yi and his wife were still taboo to tell about Xi Erlang bullying Mrs. Xie, and then mentioned that her son admired Mrs. Mrs. Xie and wanted to Asking to marry her.
After she said it, she looked at Wu Shi, wanting to see Wu Shi's reaction.
Mrs. Wu never expected that the wife of the Zhao family was still a hungry dog, so she cut a piece of meat for her, and she began to miss her precious daughter, and wanted her daughter to marry Zhao Sanlang, who is talented but has no talent. , Want a guy who has no skills.According to the meaning in her words, if she does not agree to this marriage, she will embellish the scene that Zhao Sanlang saw by the river that day.Even though she knew that what the mother and son of the Zhao family said was not true, the Wu family still hated such rumors spreading in the town. Even if the Xie family and the Xi family came forward to clarify that it was a rumor, it would still damage her daughter's reputation, so , even though she hated the insatiable villain Zhao's wife in front of her, she said with a smile on her face that her daughter would not be ready until next year, so it's too early to think about it now.
The wife of the Zhao family probably also knew that Mrs. Wu was not very willing, but judging from the perfunctory smile on Mrs. Wu's face, she believed that Mrs. Wu was afraid of the handle of Erniang Xie in her hand, so she continued to say without fear So what's the matter, although Xie Erniang will marry Ji next year, but don't delay this year to get engaged, and it's okay to do the marriage after she gets married next year.
Mrs. Wu was surprised that the lady of the Zhao family was pressing her every step of the way. It seemed that if she didn't promise her daughter to Zhao Sanlang, she wouldn't let it go.
She has never been quick-witted, only a bit of a woman's cleverness, but when encountering difficult things, the usual way is to ask her officials.
Facing Mrs. Zhao's pressing every step of the way, she casually said that her daughter's marriage was a big deal, and she had to discuss it with her officials before she could give Mrs. Zhao an answer, so she asked Mrs. Zhao to go back and wait for news.
The wife of the Zhao family asked: "But I don't know how many days we have to wait. If we make an early decision, our family can also make preparations early, paint the walls, and build furniture..."
Wu: "It will take three to five days."
The wife of the Zhao family was dissatisfied and said: "Isn't this a one-sentence matter? Mr. Xie is now in front of the stall outside, Mrs. Wu went to talk to him, and he will answer me immediately."
Mrs. Wu had the urge to pounce on the face of Hua Zhao's wife. If such a woman really became the Xie family's in-laws, she would probably take it for granted that it was all the Xie family's property. Such a rascal and shameless person, To be honest, Wu felt that this was the first time he had seen her.
With a stiff smile, Mrs. Wu told Mrs. Zhao's family that her officials dislike being disturbed when they are doing business. If anyone comes to him and talks about things that have nothing to do with business, he will get angry, so she plans to wait until dinner. After leaving the stall, I will tell my husband about this matter again, and I think I will be able to answer Mrs. Zhao's family tomorrow.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll go home and wait for one night, and come back tomorrow." The wife of the Zhao family was proud of forcing Wu Shi to say the exact date, and she stood up immediately, and mentioned the piece that Wu Shi asked the staff to cut off. Even fat meat and lean meat went out waddlingly.
When she went out, she casually glanced at the Xie's meat stall, and suddenly found that there was an additional stall next to the Xie's meat stall, and the original neighbor, Mrs. Liu, was sitting in front of the stall and was selling seeds.Some people who bought meat also went to Liu's stall to buy raw seeds.Moreover, there are a bunch of light green seeds on Liu’s stall. Many people passing by the stall were attracted and stopped to ask Liu. As for Liu, he also introduced what it was to others. According to Shi's introduction, he also bought a catty and a half catty.
It turned out that the Xi family had actually started a seed business. The wife of the Zhao family hated her teeth when she saw it. She couldn't see the Xi family's life, so she thought maliciously that as long as her son married Xi Erniang, Xie Erniang would let Xie Mr. and Mrs. B drove Xi's family out of the place they rented. This place should be used as a business for their son...
Glaring bitterly at Mrs. Liu, who was giving birth to the scales with a smile, the wife of the Zhao family went home in a gloomy mood.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhao Sanlang ran up, first he was happy that his mother had brought back a piece of meat, and that he could have a dental sacrifice tonight, and then asked her if Xie Yi and his wife agreed to marry Xie Erniang to him.
Seeing her son's happy face, the wife of the Zhao family finally felt better, with a smile on her face again, and triumphantly told her son that Mrs. Wu said it, and discussed it with Xie Yi at night, and she will reply tomorrow.She also said that she was determined that Mrs. Wu would not dare to give Xie Erniang to her son, and she would not dare to gamble with her daughter's reputation.
Zhao Sanlang giggled when he heard this, dragged his mother to sit down, poured her a bowl of tea in a flattering manner, held it for her to drink, and praised his mother for being really good, as soon as he stepped out, he took care of Mrs. Wu.
The lady of the Zhao family laughed out loud, telling her son to wait to marry Erniang Xie, Erniang Xie is already a piece of mutton on the chopping board, so she won't run away with long legs.
"By the way, mother, do you know that the Lu family in the town had a scandal a few days ago?" Zhao Sanlang looked at his mother and said with great interest.
The lady of the Zhao family is a gossip lover, and she is most concerned about who is involved in scandals in the town. When her son said this, she immediately stopped drinking tea, looked up at Zhao Sanlang and asked: "The Lu family you said is just open. What kind of scandal is that Lu Family in Lu Family Academy, let me tell you about it."
Zhao Sanlang told her mother that it was the Lu family. As for the scandal, it was Lu Erlang, a rascal from the Lu family who wanted to hook up with Xi Erlang's widowed wife, but the Xi family found out and kicked him out. Ashamed and angry, he packed up his clothes and belongings, packed a bag and ran away, and has not returned home yet.
"Oh, there is such a thing? Lu Qian's sour scholar must have lost face now, hahahaha!" The wife of the Zhao family laughed happily when she heard it, "My mother hasn't gone out for a few days, so I don't know Such a scandal happened to the Lu family! Lu Erlang, that naughty idler, even misses a widow, so he is a wicked ghost. Xi Erlang sworn brothers with such a person, and now he is shooting himself in the foot. ..."
Zhao Sanlang speculatively said again: "This Lu Quan has run away, let's see who Xi Erlang still has to support him, I haven't forgotten the fact that he plotted against me and my father, and made us almost bankrupt, let's see when I will come again." Go call the dog and give him a good meal!"
Mrs. Zhao: "Yeah, why didn't I expect this level? Lu Quan ran away, and Xi Erlang has no one to support him. He is an outsider, even if we bully him, there is no one in this town to help him. .”
After thinking for a while, she said, "It's just that although Lu Quan ran away, Qi Dalang is still there. If Xi Erlang went to ask Qi Dalang for help, our family would still suffer a loss when confronting Qi Dalang. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't rush to get revenge on Xi Erlang for the time being, just take a look and talk about it, in case that Lu Quan returns to Yangliu Town soon. The first thing we need to do now is to get Xie Yi and his wife to agree to give Xie Erniang to you Also, I came out of Xie’s butcher’s shop today and saw Xi Erlang’s mother set up a stall next to Xie’s butcher’s shop to sell raw seeds, and many people bought them. For my mother’s sake, as long as you and that Xie Erniang must kiss, I want the in-laws and his wife to drive out the Xi family, and give that place to our Zhao family for business, so it would not be good for us to sell the seeds."
Zhao Sanlang nodded when he heard the words: "Mother is very considerate...Mother, let me tell you one more thing. Many people in the town are also telling you about it..."
The wife of the Zhao family asked what was the matter.
Zhao Sanlang said that he heard some people say that Xi's family stopped Lu Quan from hooking up with Xi Erlang's widowed sister-in-law because Xi Erlang's uncle and his widowed sister-in-law didn't know each other well, so Xi Erlang even kicked out his brother Lu Quan.
"What? Hahahaha!" The lady of the Zhao family laughed heartily when she heard that, tears almost flowed from her laughter.
Seeing this, Zhao Sanlang smiled wretchedly.
After the mother and son laughed, the Zhao family's wife's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said, "Heaven take care of me, I didn't expect that the two enemies of our Zhao family are now having scandals and being stabbed in the back, Liu's still alive!" There is a lot of enthusiasm for selling seedlings there. I think everyone in the town knows about it, and who else is willing to go to her stall to buy her seedlings. We, mother and son, have something to do now. That is to help spread the word to everyone in the town. As a mother, I will take the women in the town to spit in front of the Xi's stall, so that the Xi's family can't lift their heads in front of everyone, and have the face to show Doing business?"
Zhao Sanlang: "Mother is right. Tomorrow I will vigorously tell the people I know about this Xi family's scandal!"
But it is said that after Mrs. Zhao went out with the meat waddling, she jumped three feet high in anger, picked up the tea bowl in front of her and was about to smash it down, but when she lifted it so high, she couldn't bear it, so she had to let it go. It came down and placed heavily on the table, spilling tea all over the dress.
She cursed Zhao's mother and son angrily, and stamped her feet in a circle in the room. It happened that Xie Erniang came in with her younger brother Xie Sanlang. Seeing her mother like this, she asked her what happened.
Seeing her daughter, Wu blurted out: "There is a toad that wants to eat swan meat!"
Xie Erniang: "..."
After saying this, Wu felt that she had made a slip of the tongue. She felt that it was inappropriate for her daughter to know that the mother and son of the Zhao family plotted against their youngest daughter and wanted her to marry Zhao Sanlang as his wife, so she forcibly suppressed it next. Furious in his heart, he asked his daughter to take his younger brother to play elsewhere, only one, not allowed to leave the shop.
Xie Erniang nodded in surprise, and agreed to take her younger brother to the backyard to play with cats and dogs.
In fact, she has only been detained by her mother for a few days without going out, and she already feels very uncomfortable. The only thing she has a little fun every day is secretly watching Xi Erlang drive the ox cart into and out of Xie's yard, watch him unload the cart, and watch him feed. ox.Even if her mother scolded her several times, saying that she didn't know shame, and even peeked at Kijiro, and Kijiro didn't mean anything to her, she should give up as soon as possible.She was scolded by her mother to the point of tears, but as soon as her mother left, she completely forgot what her mother scolded her, and she was still the same. , or when he came back from driving the ox cart, he hid somewhere in the house and watched him secretly.
She couldn't control herself, she just liked to see him, and secretly scolded herself for being worthless in her heart, but looking back, she thought, she is a woman, why should she be so promising, she likes to see his figure, so she hastened to see him.Because when she reaches Ji next year, she will get married, and she doesn't know who she will marry, and she doesn't know whether the person she marries likes or not, she only knows that every old woman in this town has to marry, She is no exception.
Mrs. Wu stomped her feet in the room and cursed Zhao's mother and son for a while, and finally couldn't bear to wait until her husband Xie Yi finished selling the meat before telling him about it.
She called a guy over and told him to go out and call her officials in to talk.
The buddy Ma Liu agreed, and went out to call Xie Yi in. As soon as Xie Yi came in, he asked Mrs. Wu what was the matter, maybe the back of his feet was burned, and she was doing business outside, so she called herself in.
Mrs. Wu went to close the door, then took her husband to the corner of the room, and whispered to Xie Yi what Mrs. Zhao said just now.
Before Xie Yi finished listening, he became angry. Veins popped up on his forehead, and he clenched his bowl-sized fist and punched the wall, causing the dirt on the wall to fall down. He said angrily: "This old pig dog! She Do you know how much she weighs, how dare she plot against our second mother! Only when I bring people to beat them up, and then demolish the Zhao family, will they realize how much I thank Yi!"
Wu hurriedly stopped him and advised him not to say such useless words. She said that if she really took someone to beat the mother and son of the Zhao family, it would appear that the Xie family was guilty. What about those words that are not good for my second mother?Unless Xie Yi kills the Zhao family, they can be silenced.She also said that the reason she heard what the Zhao family's wife said just now was angry with her, but she still wanted to discuss it with her husband and find a way to get the best of both worlds. And save her daughter's reputation.
Xie Yi shook his head again and again, saying that this might be difficult, the wife of the Zhao family is greedy, judging from what she said today, she is determined to threaten her by telling Xierlang about bullying her daughter, so that the Xie family will assign her daughter to him. Her family Zhao Sanlang.
After hearing her husband's words, Wu immediately panicked and asked Xie Yi what to do.
Xie Yi murmured: "In any case, we can't do what Zhao's wife wants and promise our second mother to Zhao Sanlang, then what is Zhao Sanlang, he is not worthy to carry shoes for our second mother!"
Mrs. Wu: "If we follow the official's words, then our second mother's reputation may not be preserved, and the reputation of innocence will not be preserved. Is there any gentleman in Yangliu Town who is willing to marry her? Could it be that we want to marry our family? Did Erniang marry far away? Even if she married far away, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. One day, the people in the in-law's family will know about it, and our Erniang will not have a good life..."
The more she talked, the more sad she was, almost crying.
Xie Yi was silent, for a while he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "The big deal is that we will raise Erniang for the rest of my life, and she won't marry."
Wu was shocked: "Ah? Is this the good idea you thought of?"
Xie Yi: "No matter how bad my method is, it is better than pushing our second mother into it knowing that there is a fire pit in front of me. Just wait, if the mother and son of the Zhao family really dare to ruin their daughter's reputation, I, Xie Yi, will follow Zhao Home is never over!"
"Then... the wife of the Zhao family will come to ask tomorrow, and I will tell her that our daughter will not marry Saburo Zhao?"
"Yes, just tell her that, and tell her also, let her think clearly, if my daughter's reputation is ruined, she will have something good to eat!"
"But what if the wife of the Zhao family insists on going against us and insists on ruining our second mother's reputation?"
Lu Quan was stunned after hearing this, stared at Shunniang, then stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve and shook his head, "No, no, you must be coaxing me, you are the one who stopped her from remarrying, right? Fortunately, you are still my second brother, you...you..."
When Shunniang heard him say this, she got a little angry, and scolded him not to talk nonsense, every word she just said was true, and if she coaxed him, she would be punished by heaven.
After hearing Shunniang's words, Lu Quan still didn't give up, saying that he had to meet Qi's face and listen to her tell him that she didn't want to remarry before giving up.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go find my sister-in-law right away, and let her tell you directly." After Shunniang finished speaking, she turned and went to find her sister-in-law.
When she went upstairs, she found her sister-in-law, who was holding Hui'er and was sitting uneasy on the bedside, and asked her to go downstairs and make it clear to Lu Quan, otherwise Lu Quan would not give up, and she comforted Mrs. Qi not to be afraid. beside her.
Mrs. Qi nodded silently, and followed Shunniang downstairs. When she went downstairs, Shunniang asked her to hold Huier, but Kecheng also stayed in the front room. She took her sister-in-law to meet Lu Quan at the back, and followed him say clearly.
Mrs. Liu asked Shunniang to be next to her daughter-in-law to avoid any accidents.
Shunniang agreed, and she felt that Lu Quan might do something crazy, so there was some reason for my mother's worry.
Mrs. Qi followed Shunniang with her head down and walked into the bean sprouting room in the backyard. Then Shunniang spoke and asked Lu Quan to ask her sister-in-law what she was thinking.
As soon as Lu Quan saw Qi Shi coming in, his eyes lit up, he walked towards Qi Shi excitedly, Qi Shi saw it, backed away uneasily, and retreated to hide behind Shun Niang.
Shunniang had no choice but to remind him: "Third brother, you scared my sister-in-law..."
"Oh, I... I was confused as soon as I saw her, I backed up... backed up..." Lu Quan came back to his senses, knowing that his move was a bit inappropriate, so he hurriedly backed away until he reached her. He stopped just where he was standing.
Shunniang then pulled her sister-in-law out from behind and asked her to speak to Lu Quan.
Mrs. Qi wrung her hands, lowered her head, and said in a soft voice: "Nujia... I don't want to leave Xi's house. I want to stay in Xi's house for the rest of my life..."
Although her voice was low, the room was quiet, and both Shunniang and Lu Quan could hear her clearly.
"...No! You must have been forced by Xi's family to say that!" After Lu Quan heard this, his originally bright eyes dimmed instantly, and his face turned pale, but soon he blushed, excited He shouted loudly at Qi Shi.
Of course he didn't give up, he was still speculating about the possibility of getting Qi to change his words, maybe this sentence was also a kind of comfort for himself.
Qi suddenly raised her head, looked at Lu Quan, and said loudly: "No, neither my mother-in-law nor my uncle forced me. I don't want to remarry. I want to take my two children and stay in Xi's house for the rest of my life!"
"...Miss Qi, listen to me. If you are willing to follow me, I will correct my evil ways and do a decent job. I will only treat you well. I will love you and love you for the rest of my life. I will also respect your two children. Go out with me..." Lu Quan looked at Qi's helplessly, his voice was full of determination and pleading.
Maybe Mrs. Qi was also touched by his words and expressions, and hesitated for a while, but soon her face became determined, and she said firmly: "You go, I will not leave Xi's house no matter what !"
After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house, not forgetting to whisper to Shun Niang: "Uncle, I have finished all I have to say, and my family is going back."
Shunniang said hello, and when she looked at Lu Quan again, she saw his face full of pain, and watched Qi's figure disappear at the door of the house, his hands hanging by his sides trembled slightly, and mist appeared in his eyes.
"Third brother, are you alright?" Shunniang asked with concern as she had never seen Lu Quan with a playful smile.
Lu Quan stood in the room blankly as if he didn't hear Shunniang's words.
Shunniang went up, got closer to him, and patted his shoulder.
With this clap, Lu Quan seemed to wake up. He glanced at Shun Niang, suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed her away vigorously, and then ran out.
Shun Niang also ran out, and saw that Lu Quan had already run out of Xi's house, she followed to the door, and saw Lu Quan's running figure disappearing into the bustling crowd of people on the street.Inexplicably, Shun Niang was a little worried, she felt that this matter might not end so easily.If Lu Quan is a paranoid person, then this matter must never end.I hope he will not hate his sister-in-law because of love, and then do irrational things later, and because his sister-in-law rejected him, he will blame himself and fight against Xi's family.If this is the case, then Lu Quan's destructive power is definitely greater than that of Zhao Sanlang.
With this kind of worry in her heart, Shunniang turned around and went into the room, her mother walked towards her, took Kecheng by the hand, and asked Shunniang, "What did your sister-in-law say to Lu Erlang, and what did Lu Erlang say?"
Shunniang pretended to be relaxed and told her mother that her sister-in-law had rejected Lu Quan, and her sister-in-law said she would not remarry and would stay at Xi's house to raise two children. Lu Quan was so disappointed that she ran away.
Mrs. Liu was silent, and said softly: "Actually, my mother thinks that if Lu Erlang is sincere to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law may marry him. , when I was young, I was not very motivated, but didn't I get better later..."
Shun Niang laughed when she heard the words: "Mother, do you still know Zhou Chu? But, isn't there only one like Zhou Chu for hundreds of years?"
Mrs. Liu nodded after hearing this and said that Shunniang was right, not everyone can be Zhou Chu, and her daughter-in-law was right to reject Lu Quan, this woman is not sloppy in life-long affairs, if Lu Quan really has Qi's in his heart, then Don't just swear and swear, you have to live a human life for others to see.If he can really do what he said, on that day, this old woman will personally send Mrs. Qi to be his wife.
Shunniang couldn't help but praise her mother for being open-minded, for not keeping her daughter-in-law in her husband's house for the rest of her life like other mothers-in-law.
Liu said: "As a mother, she is also a widow. Naturally, she knows that it is not easy for a woman to be a widow. Your sister-in-law is not yet twenty. If there is a good marriage, you still have to work hard to make it happen."
Shunniang said that she thought so too, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, then Shunniang went upstairs and called her sister-in-law down, saying that Lu Quan had left and was fine.
Only then did Mrs. Qi come downstairs with Hui'er in her arms, and handed Hui'er to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, to take care of the housework by herself.
Shunniang looked at the sky and saw that it was still some time before dark, so she took an ax, firewood, sticks, ropes, etc., went up the mountain to chop two loads of firewood, and returned to dry under the eaves of the yard behind.
During dinner at night, she told her mother and sister-in-law that she was going to start working hard now. Sister Song Yu had already said that her shop needed 100 catties of mung beans every day. In this way, starting from tonight It takes five catties of mung beans a day to produce more than thirty catties of bean sprouts.And Shunniang also showed them the list of more than [-] foot shops that Sister Song Yu gave her that sold wine in the Songjiazheng Store, and said that in a few days, the foot shop above would sell some mung bean hair seeds I am afraid that they will have to bring two to three hundred catties of seeds into the city a day. If this is the case, they will be busy enough.
Mrs. Liu was taken aback when she heard this. She calculated that if two or three hundred catties of seeds were distributed a day, she would need to use thirty catties of mung beans every day. However, she and her wife were too busy.Then she did some calculations based on the price of ten yuan and three catties. If she sold three hundred catties of mung bean hair seeds every day, she would earn one thousand yuan a day. Stone money can earn at least four or five hundred cash a day.
"Four to five hundred words, that's a lot!" Mrs. Qi couldn't help being surprised when she heard her mother-in-law's settlement.
Shunniang smiled: "That's all. As long as we start this seed business, the money we earn will only increase day by day. At that time, we don't have to worry about the changes in the four seasons, and we will have stable money every day." Checked in."
Mrs. Liu began to calculate with her fingers again. If she received four or five hundred cash per day, and excluding food, drink and rent, she could save at least three hundred cash a day. Ten days would be three thousand cash, and one month would be nine thousand cash. arts.In this way, if you do the seed business for a year, don’t you have to save hundreds of dollars? In that case, you can go back to Xijiazhuang to buy back the sold houses and land of Xijia after a year , not only that, but also build another good house, and buy dozens of hundreds of acres of good land...
Shunniang listened to her old lady's calculations, and she went back to Xijiazhuang to buy land and a house after the calculations, so she couldn't help but ask her if she was willing to throw away the hundreds of thousands of annual income here and go back to Xijiazhuang.
Mrs. Liu was stopped by Shunniang, and to be honest, she couldn't bear it.
Shun Niang said: "Then it's over? However, we have saved a lot of money, so we bought a yard facing the street in Yangliu Town, so we don't need to rent other people's houses. In Xijiazhuang, we bought back the houses and land that we sold and hired people to plant them. This way, we can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and it is safe."
Both Liu Shi and Qi Shi agreed with what Shun Niang said, praising her for being thoughtful.
With goals in life, Xi's family is full of energy. After dinner, Mrs. Liu took her two children, and Shunniang and her sister-in-law went to wash the dishes, soak the beans, and water the bean sprouts that were distributed two days ago.
While busy with work, Mrs. Lu, his wife Li Shi, and Lu Zhan came over to talk to Shun Niang.
Shunniang went out and bowed to the three of them, and asked them to sit down and talk. Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of the three of them, she couldn't help but wonder if they came here for Lu Quan.
Sure enough, the next thing Mr. Lu spoke, he said that his youngest son Lu Quan left a note today, saying that he would leave home today and never come back again. Someone saw him running out of Xi's house in the afternoon, so they came here Ask Shunniang what happened at Xi's house in the next afternoon to make Lu Quan leave such a note saying that he would never go home again.
When Mrs. Lu said this, Mrs. Liu was also on the side. After listening to Shunniang, she asked if Lu Quan was joking. After all, she heard from Mrs. Wu next door that Lu Quan often ran out and would not return for three to five days. Home is also commonplace.
Mrs. Li answered with a crying voice. She said that her son not only left such a note, but also packed a bag and took away some of his clothes and money. This has never happened before, so she Believing that his son was telling the truth, he came to Xi's house to ask what happened, and his youngest son decided to leave home.
Shunniang didn't expect that Lu Quan would run away from home after being hit, but I don't know if this runaway was for a short time or for a long time. From this point of view, Lu Quan is still a sophomore in middle school. Undecided, I feel that my sister-in-law made the right choice, and Lu Quan is still too young after all.
So Shunniang took Lu Quan's fancy to her sister-in-law and wanted to marry her, but her sister-in-law rejected his words and told Lu Qian and his wife and Lu Zhan.
"What? There's such a thing!" Lu Qian got angry when he heard it, "This bastard has done such a shameful thing, he should go away, and never come back!"
After listening to Shunniang's words, Li Shi and Lu Zhan also felt that they couldn't hold back their faces. They apologized to Shunniang and Liu Shi, saying that Lu Quan was ridiculous, and asked them and Qi Shi not to take it to heart.
Of course, Shunniang and Mrs. Liu said it didn't matter, saying that Lu Quan was only a teenager with such a heart, and they also comforted Lu's family by saying that maybe Lu Quan would go home after he figured it out after running away for a while.
Lu Qian, his wife and Lu Zhan felt that their faces were dull, and immediately stood up, said goodbye to Shun Niang and Mrs. Liu and went back.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Liu told Shun Niang that Lu Quan still had a bit of a temper. She didn't expect him to run away like this. However, it was a good thing that he ran away. It was better than staying in Yangliu Town, where everyone looked up and looked down. Yes, it is inevitable to be embarrassed on the face.
As for Shunniang, she thought that if Lu Quan really ran away like this, would the Zhao family make something wrong again?Also, what should I do if the Zhao family continues to question me and Xi's family?
Although she had such worries in her heart, Shunniang decided to continue to live her life step by step.
Four or five days later, when Xi's family sent out [-] to [-] catties of mung bean seeds for the first time, and began to set up a stall in front of their house to sell the seeds, Mrs. Liu, who was standing in front of the stall, saw the wife of the Zhao family enter Xie's butcher shop next door.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help thinking, if this lady of the Zhao family wants to buy meat, she should buy it in front of the meat stall. Why did she go into the Xie family's butcher shop? Is she going to do something wrong again.For this former neighbor, Liu Shi is not very cold now, and always thinks that she is a narrow-minded villain who is always plotting to harm others.
She thought, should I take the time to go over and remind Mrs. Wu to be careful of Mrs. Zhao...
At this moment, in a small room used as a reception room at the back of Xie's butcher shop, Mrs. Zhao's family was talking to Mrs. Wu who was receiving her.
It turned out that the mother and son of the Zhao family went back and waited for Xie Yi and his wife to come to thank them with a thank you gift after they went to Xie's butcher shop and said bad things about Shunniang, but they waited and waited. They still haven't waited for Xie Yi and his wife to come to the door.
Zhao Sanlang complained in front of his mother that his mother was talking nonsense. Didn’t he say that Xie Yi and his wife would come to thank him with money and pork? It’s been so many days since there was no movement at all. He also sneered that his mother's old ginger looked like a bad piece of ginger, and it was no longer spicy.
After hearing what her son said, the lady of the Zhao family couldn't help but get angry, saying what she meant by going to Xie's house to see them. If the words of Xie Yi and his wife don't count, then don't blame her for telling about Xie Erniang being bullied by Xi Erlang. Let's see who in Yangliu Town dares to marry her.
Therefore, when Mrs. Wu received the wife of the Zhao family who walked into Xie's house with an unhappy expression on her face, the wife of the Zhao family spoke a little hard.
Mrs. Wu had discussed this matter with her husband Xie Yi long ago. They felt that Zhao's mother and son came to their home to provoke the relationship between Xi's family and Xie's family, which caused conflicts between the two families, so the thank you that Xie Yi said earlier was of course It doesn't count, and it is even more impossible for them to come to the door with thank you gifts to thank Zhao's mother and son.
However, they also unanimously decided that if the wife of the Zhao family came to talk about this matter, they would talk to her well, comfort her, and even bring her a piece of meat to go home. Jealous of the Xie family, thus spreading unfavorable words about her daughter in Yangliu Town.For a villain like Mrs. Zhao who is greedy for cheap, she can neither be offended, nor should she be flattered, otherwise this kind of person will definitely push her forward.
Mrs. Wu received Zhao's wife according to this principle, saying that she and her husband have been busy recently and have no time to go to Xie's house to thank them. Regarding her daughter's affairs, she also invited Mrs. Zhao's family to eat tea fruit, saying that the tea fruit that was put out was a good one that she bought from Bianliang City recently.
Seeing that Mrs. Wu had a good attitude and invited herself to eat good tea and fruit, the lady of the Zhao family gradually calmed down. She began to eat tea and fruit while saying that she knew that Xie Yi and his wife were busy people who were doing big business, so they didn't It's normal to come to Zhao's house empty-handed.
In order to appease the wife of the Zhao family, Wu later called a man and asked him to go out and cut two catties of fat meat in, and bring it back to the wife of the Zhao family in a while.
The man responded and left, and after a while, he brought in a piece of meat, but it was not fat meat, but a piece of fat that was always wide, and the rest was lean meat.The lady of Zhao's family was a little disappointed when she saw it, but thinking that she didn't come back empty-handed this time, Mrs. Wu also asked the staff to cut a piece of meat and give it away, which is better than giving herself some bones.
Ever since Zhao's father and son lost five pennies in gambling in Qi Dalang's gambling shop, and Zhao's family collected money to pay off the gambling debt, the whole family hasn't eaten meat for so long. The Zhao family's wife saw this piece of meat at this moment , Just like a very hungry wolf seeing a sheep, it can pick and choose.
Mrs. Wu's gesture of goodwill immediately made Mrs. Zhao feel complacent, thinking that Xie Yi and his wife were still taboo to tell about Xi Erlang bullying Mrs. Xie, and then mentioned that her son admired Mrs. Mrs. Xie and wanted to Asking to marry her.
After she said it, she looked at Wu Shi, wanting to see Wu Shi's reaction.
Mrs. Wu never expected that the wife of the Zhao family was still a hungry dog, so she cut a piece of meat for her, and she began to miss her precious daughter, and wanted her daughter to marry Zhao Sanlang, who is talented but has no talent. , Want a guy who has no skills.According to the meaning in her words, if she does not agree to this marriage, she will embellish the scene that Zhao Sanlang saw by the river that day.Even though she knew that what the mother and son of the Zhao family said was not true, the Wu family still hated such rumors spreading in the town. Even if the Xie family and the Xi family came forward to clarify that it was a rumor, it would still damage her daughter's reputation, so , even though she hated the insatiable villain Zhao's wife in front of her, she said with a smile on her face that her daughter would not be ready until next year, so it's too early to think about it now.
The wife of the Zhao family probably also knew that Mrs. Wu was not very willing, but judging from the perfunctory smile on Mrs. Wu's face, she believed that Mrs. Wu was afraid of the handle of Erniang Xie in her hand, so she continued to say without fear So what's the matter, although Xie Erniang will marry Ji next year, but don't delay this year to get engaged, and it's okay to do the marriage after she gets married next year.
Mrs. Wu was surprised that the lady of the Zhao family was pressing her every step of the way. It seemed that if she didn't promise her daughter to Zhao Sanlang, she wouldn't let it go.
She has never been quick-witted, only a bit of a woman's cleverness, but when encountering difficult things, the usual way is to ask her officials.
Facing Mrs. Zhao's pressing every step of the way, she casually said that her daughter's marriage was a big deal, and she had to discuss it with her officials before she could give Mrs. Zhao an answer, so she asked Mrs. Zhao to go back and wait for news.
The wife of the Zhao family asked: "But I don't know how many days we have to wait. If we make an early decision, our family can also make preparations early, paint the walls, and build furniture..."
Wu: "It will take three to five days."
The wife of the Zhao family was dissatisfied and said: "Isn't this a one-sentence matter? Mr. Xie is now in front of the stall outside, Mrs. Wu went to talk to him, and he will answer me immediately."
Mrs. Wu had the urge to pounce on the face of Hua Zhao's wife. If such a woman really became the Xie family's in-laws, she would probably take it for granted that it was all the Xie family's property. Such a rascal and shameless person, To be honest, Wu felt that this was the first time he had seen her.
With a stiff smile, Mrs. Wu told Mrs. Zhao's family that her officials dislike being disturbed when they are doing business. If anyone comes to him and talks about things that have nothing to do with business, he will get angry, so she plans to wait until dinner. After leaving the stall, I will tell my husband about this matter again, and I think I will be able to answer Mrs. Zhao's family tomorrow.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll go home and wait for one night, and come back tomorrow." The wife of the Zhao family was proud of forcing Wu Shi to say the exact date, and she stood up immediately, and mentioned the piece that Wu Shi asked the staff to cut off. Even fat meat and lean meat went out waddlingly.
When she went out, she casually glanced at the Xie's meat stall, and suddenly found that there was an additional stall next to the Xie's meat stall, and the original neighbor, Mrs. Liu, was sitting in front of the stall and was selling seeds.Some people who bought meat also went to Liu's stall to buy raw seeds.Moreover, there are a bunch of light green seeds on Liu’s stall. Many people passing by the stall were attracted and stopped to ask Liu. As for Liu, he also introduced what it was to others. According to Shi's introduction, he also bought a catty and a half catty.
It turned out that the Xi family had actually started a seed business. The wife of the Zhao family hated her teeth when she saw it. She couldn't see the Xi family's life, so she thought maliciously that as long as her son married Xi Erniang, Xie Erniang would let Xie Mr. and Mrs. B drove Xi's family out of the place they rented. This place should be used as a business for their son...
Glaring bitterly at Mrs. Liu, who was giving birth to the scales with a smile, the wife of the Zhao family went home in a gloomy mood.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhao Sanlang ran up, first he was happy that his mother had brought back a piece of meat, and that he could have a dental sacrifice tonight, and then asked her if Xie Yi and his wife agreed to marry Xie Erniang to him.
Seeing her son's happy face, the wife of the Zhao family finally felt better, with a smile on her face again, and triumphantly told her son that Mrs. Wu said it, and discussed it with Xie Yi at night, and she will reply tomorrow.She also said that she was determined that Mrs. Wu would not dare to give Xie Erniang to her son, and she would not dare to gamble with her daughter's reputation.
Zhao Sanlang giggled when he heard this, dragged his mother to sit down, poured her a bowl of tea in a flattering manner, held it for her to drink, and praised his mother for being really good, as soon as he stepped out, he took care of Mrs. Wu.
The lady of the Zhao family laughed out loud, telling her son to wait to marry Erniang Xie, Erniang Xie is already a piece of mutton on the chopping board, so she won't run away with long legs.
"By the way, mother, do you know that the Lu family in the town had a scandal a few days ago?" Zhao Sanlang looked at his mother and said with great interest.
The lady of the Zhao family is a gossip lover, and she is most concerned about who is involved in scandals in the town. When her son said this, she immediately stopped drinking tea, looked up at Zhao Sanlang and asked: "The Lu family you said is just open. What kind of scandal is that Lu Family in Lu Family Academy, let me tell you about it."
Zhao Sanlang told her mother that it was the Lu family. As for the scandal, it was Lu Erlang, a rascal from the Lu family who wanted to hook up with Xi Erlang's widowed wife, but the Xi family found out and kicked him out. Ashamed and angry, he packed up his clothes and belongings, packed a bag and ran away, and has not returned home yet.
"Oh, there is such a thing? Lu Qian's sour scholar must have lost face now, hahahaha!" The wife of the Zhao family laughed happily when she heard it, "My mother hasn't gone out for a few days, so I don't know Such a scandal happened to the Lu family! Lu Erlang, that naughty idler, even misses a widow, so he is a wicked ghost. Xi Erlang sworn brothers with such a person, and now he is shooting himself in the foot. ..."
Zhao Sanlang speculatively said again: "This Lu Quan has run away, let's see who Xi Erlang still has to support him, I haven't forgotten the fact that he plotted against me and my father, and made us almost bankrupt, let's see when I will come again." Go call the dog and give him a good meal!"
Mrs. Zhao: "Yeah, why didn't I expect this level? Lu Quan ran away, and Xi Erlang has no one to support him. He is an outsider, even if we bully him, there is no one in this town to help him. .”
After thinking for a while, she said, "It's just that although Lu Quan ran away, Qi Dalang is still there. If Xi Erlang went to ask Qi Dalang for help, our family would still suffer a loss when confronting Qi Dalang. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't rush to get revenge on Xi Erlang for the time being, just take a look and talk about it, in case that Lu Quan returns to Yangliu Town soon. The first thing we need to do now is to get Xie Yi and his wife to agree to give Xie Erniang to you Also, I came out of Xie’s butcher’s shop today and saw Xi Erlang’s mother set up a stall next to Xie’s butcher’s shop to sell raw seeds, and many people bought them. For my mother’s sake, as long as you and that Xie Erniang must kiss, I want the in-laws and his wife to drive out the Xi family, and give that place to our Zhao family for business, so it would not be good for us to sell the seeds."
Zhao Sanlang nodded when he heard the words: "Mother is very considerate...Mother, let me tell you one more thing. Many people in the town are also telling you about it..."
The wife of the Zhao family asked what was the matter.
Zhao Sanlang said that he heard some people say that Xi's family stopped Lu Quan from hooking up with Xi Erlang's widowed sister-in-law because Xi Erlang's uncle and his widowed sister-in-law didn't know each other well, so Xi Erlang even kicked out his brother Lu Quan.
"What? Hahahaha!" The lady of the Zhao family laughed heartily when she heard that, tears almost flowed from her laughter.
Seeing this, Zhao Sanlang smiled wretchedly.
After the mother and son laughed, the Zhao family's wife's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said, "Heaven take care of me, I didn't expect that the two enemies of our Zhao family are now having scandals and being stabbed in the back, Liu's still alive!" There is a lot of enthusiasm for selling seedlings there. I think everyone in the town knows about it, and who else is willing to go to her stall to buy her seedlings. We, mother and son, have something to do now. That is to help spread the word to everyone in the town. As a mother, I will take the women in the town to spit in front of the Xi's stall, so that the Xi's family can't lift their heads in front of everyone, and have the face to show Doing business?"
Zhao Sanlang: "Mother is right. Tomorrow I will vigorously tell the people I know about this Xi family's scandal!"
But it is said that after Mrs. Zhao went out with the meat waddling, she jumped three feet high in anger, picked up the tea bowl in front of her and was about to smash it down, but when she lifted it so high, she couldn't bear it, so she had to let it go. It came down and placed heavily on the table, spilling tea all over the dress.
She cursed Zhao's mother and son angrily, and stamped her feet in a circle in the room. It happened that Xie Erniang came in with her younger brother Xie Sanlang. Seeing her mother like this, she asked her what happened.
Seeing her daughter, Wu blurted out: "There is a toad that wants to eat swan meat!"
Xie Erniang: "..."
After saying this, Wu felt that she had made a slip of the tongue. She felt that it was inappropriate for her daughter to know that the mother and son of the Zhao family plotted against their youngest daughter and wanted her to marry Zhao Sanlang as his wife, so she forcibly suppressed it next. Furious in his heart, he asked his daughter to take his younger brother to play elsewhere, only one, not allowed to leave the shop.
Xie Erniang nodded in surprise, and agreed to take her younger brother to the backyard to play with cats and dogs.
In fact, she has only been detained by her mother for a few days without going out, and she already feels very uncomfortable. The only thing she has a little fun every day is secretly watching Xi Erlang drive the ox cart into and out of Xie's yard, watch him unload the cart, and watch him feed. ox.Even if her mother scolded her several times, saying that she didn't know shame, and even peeked at Kijiro, and Kijiro didn't mean anything to her, she should give up as soon as possible.She was scolded by her mother to the point of tears, but as soon as her mother left, she completely forgot what her mother scolded her, and she was still the same. , or when he came back from driving the ox cart, he hid somewhere in the house and watched him secretly.
She couldn't control herself, she just liked to see him, and secretly scolded herself for being worthless in her heart, but looking back, she thought, she is a woman, why should she be so promising, she likes to see his figure, so she hastened to see him.Because when she reaches Ji next year, she will get married, and she doesn't know who she will marry, and she doesn't know whether the person she marries likes or not, she only knows that every old woman in this town has to marry, She is no exception.
Mrs. Wu stomped her feet in the room and cursed Zhao's mother and son for a while, and finally couldn't bear to wait until her husband Xie Yi finished selling the meat before telling him about it.
She called a guy over and told him to go out and call her officials in to talk.
The buddy Ma Liu agreed, and went out to call Xie Yi in. As soon as Xie Yi came in, he asked Mrs. Wu what was the matter, maybe the back of his feet was burned, and she was doing business outside, so she called herself in.
Mrs. Wu went to close the door, then took her husband to the corner of the room, and whispered to Xie Yi what Mrs. Zhao said just now.
Before Xie Yi finished listening, he became angry. Veins popped up on his forehead, and he clenched his bowl-sized fist and punched the wall, causing the dirt on the wall to fall down. He said angrily: "This old pig dog! She Do you know how much she weighs, how dare she plot against our second mother! Only when I bring people to beat them up, and then demolish the Zhao family, will they realize how much I thank Yi!"
Wu hurriedly stopped him and advised him not to say such useless words. She said that if she really took someone to beat the mother and son of the Zhao family, it would appear that the Xie family was guilty. What about those words that are not good for my second mother?Unless Xie Yi kills the Zhao family, they can be silenced.She also said that the reason she heard what the Zhao family's wife said just now was angry with her, but she still wanted to discuss it with her husband and find a way to get the best of both worlds. And save her daughter's reputation.
Xie Yi shook his head again and again, saying that this might be difficult, the wife of the Zhao family is greedy, judging from what she said today, she is determined to threaten her by telling Xierlang about bullying her daughter, so that the Xie family will assign her daughter to him. Her family Zhao Sanlang.
After hearing her husband's words, Wu immediately panicked and asked Xie Yi what to do.
Xie Yi murmured: "In any case, we can't do what Zhao's wife wants and promise our second mother to Zhao Sanlang, then what is Zhao Sanlang, he is not worthy to carry shoes for our second mother!"
Mrs. Wu: "If we follow the official's words, then our second mother's reputation may not be preserved, and the reputation of innocence will not be preserved. Is there any gentleman in Yangliu Town who is willing to marry her? Could it be that we want to marry our family? Did Erniang marry far away? Even if she married far away, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. One day, the people in the in-law's family will know about it, and our Erniang will not have a good life..."
The more she talked, the more sad she was, almost crying.
Xie Yi was silent, for a while he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "The big deal is that we will raise Erniang for the rest of my life, and she won't marry."
Wu was shocked: "Ah? Is this the good idea you thought of?"
Xie Yi: "No matter how bad my method is, it is better than pushing our second mother into it knowing that there is a fire pit in front of me. Just wait, if the mother and son of the Zhao family really dare to ruin their daughter's reputation, I, Xie Yi, will follow Zhao Home is never over!"
"Then... the wife of the Zhao family will come to ask tomorrow, and I will tell her that our daughter will not marry Saburo Zhao?"
"Yes, just tell her that, and tell her also, let her think clearly, if my daughter's reputation is ruined, she will have something good to eat!"
"But what if the wife of the Zhao family insists on going against us and insists on ruining our second mother's reputation?"
