Chapter 98: Hypocrisy
|151Kanshu.com text|.| When Mrs. Cheng saw her son come back by herself, her face was still so ugly, she knew what was going on, and she scolded left and right for a while, and it wasn't until the people in the second room came over to cook that she closed her voice.
"Lin Ziniang, do more today, bring out the big house."
"Mother, why don't you see Widow Zhang and Tiger Girl." Wang's eyes swept to the east house.
As soon as he was happy for one night, the people in the big room came over to eat again, and Wang felt uncomfortable.
Old Mrs. Cheng lowered her face. What kind of widow and widow, you curse your eldest brother, don't you call your sister-in-law in the future, and now you can conceive the eldest grandson of our family."
Although she didn't like Widow Zhang, in order to block Wang's mouth, Mrs. Cheng obviously favored the side of the big house, and as soon as she heard the word widow, she thought that her son had been abducted.
Wang's lips smacked, and his eyelids drooped. Mother, what are you going to do tonight, there is only a little coarse grain at home, when will Dad go into the city and sell the grain, and come back in exchange for food."
"When did you starve, don't you still have some sorghum rice at home, steam dry rice at night, your sister-in-law has gone to town, and you can buy vegetables and come back in a while."
"Sister-in-law." Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought it was Widow Zhang, and said with a smile. Okay, then I'll steam the rice."
Wang doesn't feel that he has suffered a loss.
The sound of cooking came from the outhouse, and Mrs. Cheng looked at her eldest son. Hu Niuniang is also coming back soon.If you borrow money this time, you will pack up and go to the county tomorrow.Read a good book.You don't have to worry about things at home.If you have something, let someone bring a letter to your home."
Cheng Erlang listened and looked over, knowing that the eldest brother was going to the county to ask for money, but listening to his mother's meaning, this money had a place, he was curious but didn't dare to ask more, just sat on the side and listened.
"Mother, don't worry, I will study hard." Cheng Dalang couldn't stay at home for a long time.
Cheng Laohan had other thoughts, and knocked the hookah in his hand. Tomorrow, when your eldest brother goes to town, you will go with you, and you will go with you, and you will load some grain and sell it in the town.
Mrs. Cheng nodded. I don't have much food at home, so I can save some food and survive until autumn. This time, let's pull ten bags first, except for nine bags of sorghum rice, and then change one bag of yellow rice."
They are located in the north, and they grow sorghum and yellow rice, and most of them also grow yellow rice, because the price of selling it is high, but unfortunately although everyone grows yellow rice, there are few families who are willing to eat it, and they all sell it, and they come back with cheap sorghum rice.
Mrs. Cheng is old, when she was young, Cheng Dalang was still young, her family was not so poor, she could still eat yellow rice for half a year, and so on, for Cheng Dalang's examination, she could save what she could save at home, and now she was reluctant to eat even yellow rice.
Now that my son has gone to the county, my grandson is still young, and Mrs. Cheng is also a little greedy.
Cheng Erlang was happy to hear it. Mother, don't worry, now a bag of grain can be exchanged for half a yellow rice."
The village is too small, and it is too backward, and it will not peel the yellow rice when it is grown, so it can only be changed in the town. This is also the reason why families are reluctant to eat yellow rice.
"Buy it back and take the yellow rice to my house.I'm afraid I'm not locking it.I don't know how to get half a bag of yellow rice when it arrives.And tell your daughter-in-law that she is stealing our grain from her parents' house.She won't eat it herself.How can a married girl always steal things from her parents.If it weren't for Cheng Lin's sake.I would have driven her back to her parents' house a long time ago."
Cheng Erlang didn't dare to say more.Every time he went back to Wang's mother's house, Wang's stole a lot of things.Either cabbage or food.Cheng Erlang didn't have to guess and knew that his daughter-in-law secretly hid it on weekdays.But one was a daughter-in-law and the other was a mother.He was caught in the middle.He didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing that her son bowed his head and was silent, Mrs. Cheng said hatefully. You're a bad one, lock all the rice in the wing, and bring me the key."
Cheng Erlang was scolded like a grandson.Cheng Dalang was on the side, as if it was nothing.Teasing Cheng Lin.Cheng Lin has always been not close to him.Cheng Dalang didn't make a sound no matter how Cheng Lin asked.Cheng Dalang frowned.
Cheng Laohan stood up. Let's go and move the food out of the room and put it in the courtyard."
Out of the house, Cheng Erlang breathed a sigh of relief, touched his wife's angry eyes, and Cheng Erlang immediately lowered his head again.
Out of the house, Cheng Laohan relieved his son. Your mother said that you don't want to go to your heart. This sand can only become a plate when it is hugged together. All the efforts of our family now are for your eldest brother to be promoted in the exam.
"Dad, I know." Cheng Erlang nodded innocently.
The two men entered the wing room, Cheng Laohan put his hands on the bags of grain on Cheng Erlang, and Cheng Erlang resisted to the courtyard and put them at the gate of the courtyard.
Cheng Laohan went out of the yard and told Lao Wang that he was going to use the car tomorrow.Cheng Erlang didn't like Widow Zhang's mother and daughter.He wasn't the kind of person who gave people an ugly face.He only turned around and went into the house first.
When Cheng Lao Han and Old Man Wang finished talking, when they returned to the house, Widow Zhang had already put ten taels of silver on the kang, and the whole family was happy with a smile on their faces.
Widow Zhang also took out the mung beans she bought." This is what my sister brought to me, and I don't know if I can use it at home."
On the way, Widow Zhang said to Hu Niu, that she would not let others know about the sprouts, and that she would steal money in the town.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes were smiling and she patted Widow Zhang's hand. Okay, we don't have many mung beans left, and I'm still worried about next year's seeds."
"That's a good idea.This thing can only be regarded as a thing if you find it that you are using.,Otherwise, it's useless to keep it." Widow Zhang smiled.
Mrs. Cheng was even happier when she heard this.Wang sat on the kang with her son in her arms and pouted.Who wouldn't say a good thing.But a handful of mung beans were sold.shallow eyelids.
Wang's heart was uncomfortable.The big house was okay.She looked uncomfortable.Especially this widow.,She actually had this ability.,Immediately borrowed ten taels of silver.
I was not happy in my heart, and put Cheng Lin on the kang." Sister-in-law, look at what you bought and come back, the family is waiting to eat."
Looking at the bamboo basket with a few frozen cabbages, Wang didn't wait to speak, and Mrs. Cheng spoke. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so you need to eat something good, stew cabbage for a while, fry a few eggs."
While taking out the key he was carrying in his arms, he handed it to Wang. Take five eggs."
Wang's skin is not smiling." Yo, it's good to have a body, and when I had Cheng Lin, my mother didn't want to take an egg out."
"What's so unhappy about you? When you were confined, you ate a basket of eggs, and you let you eat all the eggs you have saved for a year." Old Mrs. Cheng doesn't leave any face for the Wang family." If you want to eat, raise more chickens, why don't you talk so much when you feed the chickens, and you don't even let out a fart, for fear of working."
"Mother, I still have something to tell you." Widow Zhang immediately changed the subject, and Mrs. Cheng looked at it with a busy smile, not looking at Wang at all. Mother, I thought that Da Lang had gone to the county, I was pregnant, and I didn't take care of me at home, my sister was about to move out, and no one was watching the yard, let me go over and help watch, she should take my food every month, and she wouldn't pay me.
As soon as I heard that as long as I showed the house to others, I would provide food, Mrs. Cheng agreed, not to mention the side, and now the Zhang family did not agree to come back. Widow Zhang was pregnant and could not farm.
I was worried about this, I didn't expect Widow Zhang to bring such a news, where did she disagree.
"I'm fine, I'm just suffering you, and I don't feel at ease if you live alone in town." Mrs. Cheng looked worried.
Widow Zhang didn't believe it was true, and laughed. The tiger girl is not small anymore, I brought it over to help me cook, mother, you don't have to worry."
"In that case, I won't say anything more, when will your sister go?" The smile on Mrs. Cheng's face is not fake.
"I'm thinking about going together when Da Lang leaves, so that I can go to her house early to familiarize myself with the environment."
"Then let's go together tomorrow." Cheng Dalang took over, and now the more he looks at Widow Zhang, the more he likes it." You can rest assured that you will be pregnant there, and you will be an official wife in the fall."
Widow Zhang's eyelids were hammered." I don't want to be a wife, but now that I'm a concubine, it's not right."
Seeing that she knew how to advance and retreat, Mrs. Cheng's dissatisfaction in her heart just now disappeared because of her son's words. Old man, let's go to the house for dinner tonight, Mei Hong has entered our house, and we have to let people witness it, right?"
Cheng Laohan nodded. It's okay.The second child is going to run a trip.The two dishes at home are not good.Just let Erlang like to kill only **."
"It's not an outsider.The five old hens are still waiting for the spring to lay eggs.Mei Hong is also pregnant.You don't have to buy eggs when you sit in the moon." There are only five old hens in the house, and that is the life of Mrs. Cheng.
"Okay, let's kill one, and everyone in the family will be satisfied." Cheng Laohan made the final decision.
Cheng Erlang got his mother's consent before he went out of the house, there was a chicken to eat, Wang was naturally happy, and he was not tired of it.
Widow Zhang pursed her lips, she didn't have to suffer this hardship soon, she was naturally happy in her heart, she had a good reputation in the Cheng family, where could she find such a good thing.
