Chapter 35: Insults
When Zhang and Cheng Lao Er came back with peach blossoms, Zhang's whole body was already frozen, and although the house was not warm, as soon as it was close, he couldn't help but shiver.
The lock was sled, and there was no need to open it, Zhang took off the cotton clothes wrapped in Peach Blossom and handed it to Cheng Lao Er, "I'm in trouble with the second brother today." ”
Cheng Lao Er took the clothes, "Sister-in-law, let's boil some ginger soup and drink it with peach blossoms in a while, go to the cold, then I'll go back first." ”
Zhang smiled and nodded, and then entered the house with the peach blossoms.
After putting the peach blossom on the bed, I heard Cheng Laoer's voice ringing in the kitchen, "Mother, the peach blossom is back, I'll go back." ”
When Mrs. Cheng heard the movement, she stopped what she was doing, "There is still a face back, why don't you die outside." ”
Mrs. Cheng never liked what she said, but when she said that this sentence was still aimed at a five-year-old peach blossom, Cheng Lao Er's expression was condensed, he didn't dare to say more, and stepped out.
Zhang secretly bit his lip when he heard it in the east room, looked at the cotton on the side, held it in his hand, got up and walked out of the house, pushed open the door of the west room, and the heating hit his face again, which was obviously two temperatures from the kitchen and the east house.
"Mother, you can take this cotton to the maid of the aunt's family, I'm buying it for the peach blossoms." "Zhang knows that if this cotton is not delivered, the days will not be quiet.
She also made it clear in her words, this time it was given to Yaya, and the cotton clothes for the peach blossoms still have to be made, and you can't ask for it next time.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't understand it, her face sank, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you are divided, and you can live with two mouths to eat, but you can't live like this, we still owe some money outside our house, if you have extra money in your hand, take it over to pay off the debt first, otherwise let others think about it, our family has money to buy things, but there is no money to pay off the debt?"
Zhang bit his lip, "Mother, what did you divide when you split the family, you know, the money in my hand is also in exchange for mending your clothes and selling some bean sprouts, and I have no money left to buy some cotton for Peach Blossom to make cotton jackets." ”
Zhang's didn't want to poke it, she heard that her mother-in-law didn't want her to buy cotton, but this winter is only halfway over, and spring is the coldest time, and there is no spare wood in the cold house.
Mrs. Cheng snapped and threw down the things in her hand, "A little child, what good things to wear? Don't I have a torn jacket? You can take it to make cotton clothes for her in a while." ”
His granddaughter is not a child, his granddaughter is a child, and he can't tell which one is close or which one is close, Cheng Lao Khan couldn't help but lose his temper, and threw the bamboo basket in his hand, making a loud noise, and the frightened Mrs. Cheng's body trembled.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you take the cotton back, your eldest sister's maid will buy it as a cotton jacket," Cheng Laohan stood up, picked up the cotton and stuffed it into Zhang's hand, "You and Peach Blossom haven't eaten yet, go back and make something to eat." ”
Directly pushed Zhang out of the house, closed the door, and turned to look at Mrs. Cheng, who had a gloomy face.
Mrs. Cheng looked unhappy, "Don't you know what kind of life the eldest girl is doing, what happened to her letting her take some cotton?"
"If you want to do it for Yaya, don't rob the eldest daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law is still not soft enough by you? Look at Peach Blossom is only five years old, wearing a decent dress? If you don't give it to her as a grandmother, why don't you feel blushing? What did you give to the two of you when you split up? Now that people have a little money, you will remember it, and what do you let others think of our old Cheng family?"
Cheng Laohan sat on the kang, took the hookah and smoked it.
Mrs. Cheng was poked in her heart, her face couldn't hold back, and she cried with a wow, "My life is hard, who am I doing this for, I am not for this family, if I don't control it, I would have starved to death a long time ago, and you are complaining about me now." ”
"Alright, the howl in the middle of the night is endless, and the whole village hears it. ”
In the east room, after Zhang's father-in-law scolded the last sentence, her mother-in-law finally stopped crying, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the cotton in her hand, took out the flower cloth she bought that day, and made it quickly.
Late at night, when Peach Blossom woke up, she saw that the oil lamp in the house was still lit, and Zhang sat under the oil lamp, holding a cotton jacket made for her in her hand, and her heart was hit hard in an instant.
