Chapter 16 On the Self-cultivation of Those Who Have Daughters-in-law
When he first saw Fang Jiao coming, Lin Baitang deliberately didn't speak, wanting to see what kind of demon this Fang Jiao could do, but now that he saw her methods, he really couldn't stand it, so he simply snorted and interrupted Fang Jiao's words: "Stealing things also depends on the time, it's called robbery." ”
Lin Baitang often followed his father to the mountains to hunt when he was a child and exercised more, and his stature was a little taller than that of ordinary daughters, and he looked at Fang Jiao with a shovel at this time: "Since you know that I am easy to drive, then you should only know that it is not difficult for me to start a skull." ”
Fang Jiao was frightened by her and took half a step back, knowing that she was a little in a hurry, so she hurriedly laughed and said: "Sister Baitang, what are you doing so fiercely, I didn't think of so much just now, if you are unhappy, I will say sorry first, okay." ”
She was eighty percent sure that Lin Baitang would not beat her, but in the end, there were still two percent, which made her afraid of this Lin Baitang.
Lin Baitang had a toothache when he saw her like that, either or something, like he couldn't open his mouth, so he turned his head away.
Meng Zhenghui saw that Lin Baitang didn't plan to speak, so he simply took over the conversation: "What is Miss Su doing this time? ”
Fang Jiao choked, she really didn't expect Meng Zhenghui to not notice her new clothes, and she didn't expect that Meng Zhenghui really regarded herself as a cook.
But it doesn't matter, Fang Jiao coaxed herself to suppress the fire in her heart, the more such a person is, the easier it will be to coax after she gets her hands on it in the future, she will definitely not be like Lin Baitang, giving others a chance to take advantage of.
Fang Jiao endured the anger in her heart, and smiled gently: "It was my negligence before, I forgot to ask Young Master Meng and Sister Bai Tang if there were any taboos, so I avoided it." ”
She originally only planned to ask Meng Zhenghui, but Lin Baitang glanced at her, and she added Lin Baitang in her heart.
Meng Zhenghui went to look at Lin Baitang first, Lin Baitang shook his head, he understood: "There's nothing to eat, you can watch it." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his attention to the ground that had just been opened, intending to study how to save a little effort.
Fang Jiao didn't come over to go back for such nothing, although she was ignored, she pressed the fire and intentionally or unintentionally revealed her hand that was red from washing vegetables: "That's good, otherwise I'm worried that this dish will be washed in vain." ”
She smiled and waited for Meng Zhenghui to see her hand, according to her thoughts, even if it was just a superficial effort, Meng Zhenghui had to care about herself, and when the time came, she would excuse herself and talk to Meng Zhenghui more.
At that time, Lin Baitang will definitely not be able to see that she will be angry, it would be best if she loses her temper, but she is angry, the more she seems to be virtuous and gentle.
Feelings are the most unbearable.
Fang Jiaomei waited for Meng Zhenghui to ask, but after waiting for a while, Meng Zhenghui didn't look at it, so Fang Jiao had to send it forward by herself.
She reached out and patted Meng Zhenghui's cuffs: "Young Master Meng, be careful, you see that your clothes are dirty, and cotton cloth stained with ash is the most difficult to wash." ”
Fang Jiao's movements were not fast, and after deliberately letting Meng Zhenghui see his hand, he shrank in surprise: "Oh, I'm sorry, this hand wash is washed like this, so that Young Master Meng can see it, it's really a little ugly." ”
Lin Baitang couldn't help but smile on the side, she wasn't worried that Meng Zhenghui would be deceived by such a little trick, she was just really curious, what kind of brains should the men who could call Fang Jiao play with such means before.
Meng Zhenghui actually doesn't like others touching him, especially an unmarried woman who does it in front of his wife.
He quietly avoided Fang Jiao's hand, and his face was also cold: "Miss Fang's hand is indeed hard. ”
Fang Jiao thought that Meng Zhenghui was on the road and was happy, Meng Zhenghui slowly added: "It's all swollen like a carrot." ”
This description is really not a compliment for a girl.
The smile on Fang Jiao's face froze, and when she was wondering if Meng Zhenghui would not praise people, Meng Zhenghui spoke again: "I understand what Miss Fang means, she thinks that the food money she gave before is not enough, right, you can say this kind of thing clearly, you don't have to go around such a big circle." ”
Meng Zhenghui took two pieces of money from his pocket and handed them to Fang Jiao: "I still understand the principle of more work and more rewards." ”
Fang Jiao didn't expect her meaning to be misunderstood to this extent, she didn't plan to borrow money, but justified: "No, I ...... it"
Meng Zhenghui didn't wait for her to finish, and directly stuffed the money into Fang Jiao's hand, Fang Jiao didn't react, and the two coins fell from her hand and fell to the ground leisurely.
Meng Zhenghui glanced down, and had no intention of picking it up, so he said calmly: "Miss Fang, don't send it." ”
Fang Jiao didn't know where she had provoked Meng Zhenghui, so his attitude had changed so sharply, and she couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in her heart, squatted down to pick up the money, and turned around and left.
After only taking two steps, she heard Meng Zhenghui call her again: "That's right." ”
Fang Jiao looked back, Meng Zhenghui was looking at her, and the smile on her face was faint: "Miss Fang's makeup is very good today." But I still hope that Miss Fang can take off her makeup when cooking my meal with Xiaotang, and I don't want to eat scattered fat powder in my meal. ”
The little hope that had risen in my heart was shattered. No matter how patient Fang Jiao was, she couldn't control her tears from falling, so she turned around and wiped her tears and ran away.
Meng Zhenghui seemed to have expected this to be the case, so he didn't even give him a look, and then went to study how to use a shovel to save effort.
Lin Baitang actually didn't expect things to develop like this, until Fang Jiao walked away, she went over and poked Meng Zhenghui's shoulder: "What's wrong with you?"
Meng Zhenghui looked back at her, his eyes were blank, as if he didn't know what Lin Baitang was talking about.
Lin Baitang asked in a thoughtful tone: "I see that you didn't look very happy just now." ”
Meng Zhenghui pretended to think: "Really?"
"Well," Lin Baitang nodded: "Your usual personality is not very good at giving people such a faceless person." ”
Meng Zhenghui laughed, bowed his head and said: "Face is such a thing, she has to ask for it herself, I can give it to her, she doesn't want it herself, I still save face for her everywhere, which is not only not good for her, but also disrespectful to you." ”
"What's more, if I am not polite once, I can avoid future troubles, or possible conflicts with you, why not. ”
Lin Baitang thought that Meng Zhenghui was just dissatisfied with Fang Jiao's provocation these times, and even had to start inch by inch, but after Meng Zhenghui said this, she understood that the reason for this dissatisfaction was because she didn't like it.
Maybe it's because of his good mood, Lin Baitang feels that Meng Zhenghui is more and more pleasing to the eye: "It's the first time I've seen you like this, it's rare." ”
Meng Zhenghui paused the movements of his hand and looked back at Lin Baitang: "I will never do this to you." ”
"I'm not afraid. Lin Baitang was not very good at responding to such serious words, so he simply raised his fist and waved at him jokingly, as if to say, if you dare to make me lose face like this, I will use my fist to talk to you.
Meng Zhenghui held Lin Baitang's hand a little helplessly and pressed it down: "Don't worry, I won't, and I won't dare, so can you teach me how to use an iron shovel now?"
Lin Baitang shook his head, pulled Meng Zhenghui to the base of the wall, and told him to sit on the bench.
Although Meng Zhenghui sat down with her strength, he was still a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Lin Baitang said seriously: "I am very satisfied with what you did today, as a reward, I don't need your help today, just sit there and chat with me." ”
Where did Meng Zhenghui want such a reward, and was about to refute, but Lin Baitang gently pressed his lips with his fingers: "Be obedient, when your hands are good, there is something you have to learn from the work at home." ”
Lin Baitang looked good when he smiled, Meng Zhenghui didn't know if he was dazzled by the sun or Lin Baitang's smile, anyway, he obediently responded to Lin Baitang's words.
Meng Zhenghui, who was sitting at the root of the wall, was bored, so he simply flipped out a book from home and read it to Lin Baitang.
The two of them can be regarded as having a good time, and when Ning Caichen found out that Xiao Wei was not a person, he heard a sharp and high voice behind him: "Meng Zhenghui, you shameless, what happened to our Jiaojiao?"
This voice is too familiar, you don't have to think about it, except for Aunt Lin, no one can be so persistent in finding trouble with Lin Baitang's family.
Meng Zhenghui reluctantly closed the book, and even didn't forget to make a mark so that he could read it to Lin Baitang next time.
Lin Baitang's face had darkened, and the shovel poked into the ground, and said coldly: "Second Aunt Lin, if you can't speak, don't blame me for tearing it up, you didn't have enough lessons last time, what are you trying to do this time?"
Lin Baitang's momentum was amazing, Second Aunt Lin subconsciously shrank for a moment, and then raised her voice again: "Don't scare people, I won't look for you this time, I'll look for Meng Zhenghui." ”
She held a burning stick in her hand, and seemed to be planning to fight hard at any time: "Our Jiaojiao said that she wanted to ask you what kind of food you like to eat, and came out happily, but it didn't take long for her to cry and go back, and as soon as the door was closed, she refused to come out no matter how she called it, she saw you, it must be that you bullied our Jiaojiao." ”
Meng Zhenghui glanced at the neighbors who were attracted by Aunt Lin's loud voice and looked around with their heads poked around: "Second Aunt Lin, if I were you, I would be quieter." ”
Bullying is a word, it can be big or small, and it falls on the child, it may be who beats whom, and no one plays with anyone, but Meng Zhenghui and Fang Jiao are not young after all, and Aunt Lin is coming over noisily, it is inevitable that people will not think about it.
This group of people in the village is chasing after the wind and shadows, and he has seen the ability to spread falsehoods.
Although Meng Zhenghui doesn't like Fang Jiao's actions very much, a woman's reputation is not a trivial matter, so it is naturally better to be careful.
Second Aunt Lin didn't react for a while Meng Zhenghui's reminder was kind, and thought that he was afraid that it would end badly if it was too big, so her voice was a little higher: "What am I talking about, I'm not weak-hearted!"
Lin Baitang frowned and said: "You have bullied your girl one by one, do you think about what this word will become in the village, and your sister's reputation is gone?"
Lin Baitang said clearly, and Second Aunt Lin figured out what was going on, and she was afraid for a while, and subconsciously suppressed some voices: "I don't care, you have to give me an explanation." ”
