Chapter 74: Trouble at the door

|.| Zhang completely ignored Cheng Dalang, who was standing there angrily, and continued to bury his head in making steamed buns. The fire in the stove also burned and crackled, and the water in the pot was boiling.

Wang was cooking, watching the excitement, waiting for a long time, not seeing the eldest brother speak, while cutting bacon, while laughing. Sister-in-law, what can't be said between the two people, the eldest brother is now a showman, is it difficult to make the eldest brother bow to you, this is the man is the sky, the woman marries and obeys the husband, the three from the four virtues, these truths, the sister-in-law should also understand this reason, how can there be a reason for the master to bow to the mother."

The words persuaded Zhang's family, and the words provoked Cheng Dalang's anger.Originally, Zhang Dalang was angry.He was forced by Cheng Laohan to bow his head to Zhang.Now that I'm listening to Wang's words.I feel more and more reasonable.Thinking about apologizing to Zhang's family is even more unreasonable.

Cheng Dalang's tone was not good." My mother told you to come over for dinner."

Regardless of whether Zhang heard it or not, he turned around and entered the West House, and the old lady Cheng's dissatisfaction could be faintly heard in the room.

Wang pouted when he saw it, and quickly cut the meat with a knife, muttering to himself, but the voice was loud enough for Zhang to hear clearly. So many people who stutter and eat eat treat us like cows, and they don't want to be cheeky enough to be able to eat it."

From time to time, her eyes glanced at Zhang's side, and when she saw Zhang's continuing to burn the fire, she hummed. I hope that her ambition will be low to the end when it is time to eat, otherwise she will have to cook for her after suffering in vain.

Wang's heart is unhappy.Zhang's expression has long drifted away.Today, when she sees Da Lang like that.Her heart is cold.If Widow Zhang comes back with him.Will he bow to her like this?

Westinghouse made three dishes, chicken cake, fried bacon, and a stewed cabbage with frozen tofu, plus sorghum rice, and soon it was out of the pot.

The people in the West House sat down around the table, and Mrs. Cheng was obviously very happy to see that Zhang didn't come. took the bowl and divided the chicken cake with a spoon.

Cheng Erlang glanced at it, didn't dare to say much, buried his head in the rice, Wang put meat in his bowl, saw Mrs. Cheng glaring at her, and immediately stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of chopsticks in Cheng Erlang.

He was still talking." You do all the heavy work at home, and now that the eldest brother has won the show, you can also make up for your body."

Mrs. Cheng moved her mouth, glanced at Erlang who was buried in her head, didn't say much, Wang saw it, a touch of pride flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything, if this family wasn't supported by Erlang, she wouldn't have been able to eat for a long time.

Cheng Jialang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this." Erlang, you've worked hard all these years, you can rest assured, big brother will never forget you one day."

"That's how you brothers should support each other." Cheng Laohan's wrinkled face rarely showed a smile.

Cheng Erlang also raised his head and smirked.

Wang pouted, took the opportunity to put a large amount of meat with chopsticks into the bowl, Mrs. Cheng glared at her fiercely, Wang just didn't see it, the bacon entered the mouth, the mouth was full of oil, and the food was delicious.

The Zhang family didn't come over for dinner.Cheng Laohan didn't ask any more questions.He also had a complaint in his heart about this daughter-in-law at this time.No matter what a man does, a woman just has to be obedient.How can there be such a person who doesn't save face for his man.

"I don't know what's going on today.Big brother has a good appetite back and forth.I don't feel full in this bowl of rice." Wang's bowl was empty, and he looked behind Mrs. Cheng.

Since the beginning of winter, the Cheng family has set a fixed amount of food.Every two meals.One bowl per person.If there is a life.Cheng Laohan and Cheng Erlang can share one more bowl.Mrs. Cheng is old.One bowl is full.Cheng Lin is young.Half a bowl of rice is full.It is bitter Wang's can't eat enough every day.Today she cooks.And there is no old lady Cheng to look at.So she cooks more.After Mrs. Cheng gives each person a bowl.There is still half of the rice left in the rice bowl.

Mrs. Cheng listened to her and knew what she was thinking." In the evening, I have eaten too much food, and the chickens at home have not been fed. You go and feed them."

Cheng Dalang lowered his head, his ears were hot, he couldn't imagine that his family was in such a situation now, Cheng Erlang had long been used to it, he was buried in his head and eating, Cheng Laohan was a man who didn't care about these things, Wang didn't eat much, but was instructed to work again, and walked out of the house with a black face.

Mrs. Cheng saw that Da Lang had eaten half of the bowl, took the rice bowl from behind her, filled it with a spoonful, glanced at Erlang who was immersed in the rice on the other side, hesitated, turned around and put the rice bowl behind her again.

Cheng Lin didn't know anything, and ate a big bowl of rice with chicken cakes.

After feeding the chickens, Wang had to clean up the table again.When he got to the outhouse, while Mrs. Cheng teased her grandson, he took out an empty bowl and filled a bowl of rice, soaked frozen tofu and cabbage soup, and put it behind the lid of the pot.

Westinghouse quieted down.Eastinghouse Zhang also took the two children to eat it a long time ago.The steamed bun was served with boiled water.Simple but very full.I've been eating sweet potatoes these days.I can't see a few grains of grain with Ben.Although there is no food.But eating like this also makes Peach Blossom moved.I almost cried out.Secretly thinking that I must change this kind of day.

The tiger girl has something on her mind, she doesn't know the taste of the food, and she is unusually quiet, and she doesn't like to talk as much as she used to.

Cheng Dalang didn't come to sleep, he slept in the West House, and when Peach Blossom slept, he saw that Zhang's face did not have a sad look, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Zhang got up and warmed up the leftover steamed buns from yesterday. Mother go collect firewood, you and the tiger girl obediently stay at home."

Peach Blossom is suffocating in the house." I'll go with you."

"It's too cold outside, wait for the weather to be warm, peach blossoms 、、、 well"

"Cheng Jialang is at home." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a female voice.

The door of the outhouse was pushed open at the same time, and it was not the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, Cui Shi, who walked in.

"Why don't you see my three brothers and sisters?"

Cheng Dalang stood up as early as he heard Cui's voice.Cui asked Widow Zhang before he entered the house.Cheng Dalang was not easy to sit down.Just when he didn't know how to speak,Old lady Cheng took over.

"The third brother and sister of your family are the life of the phoenix, as soon as you go out with my eldest brother, you will fly up when you see Gao Zhi, how can you look down on our Cheng family." Seeing that the Cui family still dared to come to ask for someone, Mrs. Cheng held this breath for her son in her heart, and finally found a place.

"Yo, auntie, you can't say that, our third brother and sister followed your eldest brother, of course we have to ask for someone from the eldest lang." Cui Shi smiled.

As early as the day Cheng Dalang came back, Zhang Jialang saw that Zhang Meihong didn't come back with him, so he knew that it was wrong.

Originally, I thought that the relationship between people and Cheng Jiala was also in vain.It would be okay to change to someone else.What kind of character is Cui's character.Where would you just admit it.After weighing it all night.,The next day, I rushed to Cheng's house.

Old Mrs. Cheng exploded when she heard this." Why do you still want to rely on our family? Our family hasn't settled accounts with you, and a widow doesn't look at it, and she does that kind of thing to hook up with men, and it hurts my family's reputation and has the face to come to my house and ask for someone."

Cui Shi snorted coldly. Flies don't make seamless eggs.I can't blame my brother and sister for this thing.This thing has happened.It's useless to say more.Your eldest man has handed over the people now.Let's treat it as if nothing happened.Otherwise, we'll sue the county yamen and talk about it.You said that my third brother and sister flew to the high branches.I also said that you sold people."

Wang listened and took over. Sister-in-law Zhang: You can eat this food indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have that we sold people?

Old Lady Cheng said viciously. You go and sue, if you're not afraid of being embarrassed, you sue, there is such a shameless woman, and you dare to shout around. Be careful that no one wants your girl in the future."

Mrs. Cheng is not afraid, now that her son is Xiucai, even when he arrives at the county yamen, he has to give some face. In the eyes of Mrs. Cheng, there is no difference between Xiucai and the official master.

"What am I afraid of, there is no girl who can't get married, even if you are a sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. The Cui family alone is on par with Mrs. Cheng and the Wang family, and they are not afraid at all.

Cui's family doesn't look like a village man, he dares to come to Cheng's house to make trouble, that's a night of thinking, he has also heard books in the town, and he knows that these officials care about reputation, so he can say this.

Cheng Dalang didn't want to speak out yet.Thinking of Zhang Meihong, he was full of hatred.Now that he heard Cui's opinion.I know that I can't continue to make trouble.Xiucai is really nothing.And only after winning the lift.Can there be countless benefits.Back then, the squire was a squire..You can go in and out of the government.You don't have to pay taxes to the gentry.What is the case of fighting a case.With this backer, some people even want to bring their wealth to take refuge.For people in the village.If there are no officials around.People with merit can even organize civil courts.For some people who break the law, such as cases that conflict with the Analects.,Pull them out directly and be executed.
