Chapter 99: For a Wife
|.| Widow Zhang returned to the East House, sat on the kang, and was not happy that she was going to be accepted as a concubine at night.
Besides, which woman is willing to be a concubine, and now she helps Cheng Dalang take the money out to study, in case Cheng Dalang is promoted and becomes an official, and the official's wife falls on Zhang's body.
After thinking about it in her heart, she knew that the Zhang family couldn't stay, and before Cheng Dalang was lifted, she must leave the Cheng family.
Seeing that Widow Zhang was silent, Hu Niu sat down on the kang. Mother: Do you feel wronged by being a concubine?"
Look at her and look up, Tiger Girl said again. My mother is so good, I think about their family everywhere, I let my mother be a concubine, I have wronged my mother, I am not as good as a flat wife, we are in the village, I don't see you when I look up, I don't see you when I look down, and it is natural to give my mother a flat wife."
Widow Zhang's eyes lit up." Go and call your dad and say I'm not feeling well."
The tiger girl jumped off the kang and said with a smile. Mother, don't worry."
Widow Zhang felt more and more that her daughter was better.
When she was lying down on the kang, Cheng Dalang hurriedly ran in and sat down next to Widow Zhang. What's wrong?"
"You kid, my mother is just tired today, won't I let you call your father over?" Widow Zhang glanced at her daughter.
The tiger girl bowed her head cooperatively." My mother is pregnant with my younger brother in her belly, and I'm worried too."
Cheng Dalang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. It's okay, Tiger Girl is right to do this, you're not alone right now, you have another belly, you have to be careful everywhere, you know."
Widow Zhang bit her lip and pulled his hand and put it on her stomach. It's a pity that our son will have to carry the life experience of a concubine as soon as he is born.
"What a concubine, don't talk nonsense, this is my son, I don't care who he hurts." Although Cheng Dalang said these things on his lips, he had a plan in his heart.
Widow Zhang said coquettishly. Naturally, we won't have a distinction between concubines and concubines in the village, but Da Lang will be an official in the future.
Seeing that she was thinking about herself like this, and thinking about the ten taels of silver she borrowed back during the day, she had just arrived at home and thought about herself.
Comparing the two, Zhang Meihong in front of him was more into Cheng Dalang's eyes, and he turned his hand to hold her hand. I've been wronged."
Widow Zhang didn't understand Cheng Dalang for so long.Obviously he was a smart person.Why didn't he know that there was a flat wife?Hu Niu also saw it.Cheng Dalang didn't understand what a flat wife said.
She raised the corner of her eye. Mother, I don't want to call you aunt, I still want to call you mother, you and aunt are both father's women, why can peach blossom call aunt is mother, why can't I call mother mother."
"You kid." Widow Zhang lowered her eyes.
Cheng Dalang's eyes suddenly lit up. yes, how did I forget that?"
Then he excitedly took Widow Zhang's hand. The ancients said that Mei Hong, I will tell my mother now, marry you as a flat wife, so that the child you give birth to will not be a concubine, but a concubine."
"Da Langγγγ this γγγ how can this work." Widow Zhang looked completely frightened.
Cheng Dalang didn't care." You are a great hero of our Cheng family, giving birth to the eldest grandson, and it is also your credit that I can go to the county to apprentice, how can I let you be wronged again."
"But γγγ"
Cheng Dalang knew what she was worried about when she was hesitant." Don't worry, for the sake of your grandson, my mother can't let you be wronged, you lie down, I'll go and tell my mother now."
Before Widow Zhang spoke, Cheng Dalang had already gotten up and gone to the West House, and only after the mother and daughter were left in the house did he sneer.
When she became a flat wife, she didn't have to bow her head like Zhang's widow, and she was proud, with her current status in the Cheng family, Zhang's future and Ben couldn't shake her, and she was not the only one who was in charge.
The stewed chicken in the outhouse.The fragrance wafted in.The tiger girl swallowed her saliva.As long as she entered the city.There will be nothing delicious in the future.From tomorrow onwards, her life will not be like this.She wants everyone to look up at her when the time comes.What if the Zhang family doesn't teach herself to be a female celebrity.As long as you have money.What kind of embroidery master to find.
As soon as Cheng Dalang finished speaking, Mrs. Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong." Then let's get a flat wife."
Cheng Laohan was alert. It was Xiao Zhang who told you that you wanted to be a flat wife."
Cheng Dalang felt that his father was thinking too much." How can she understand this? It was her son who suddenly remembered that there was a record in the book. Daddy. Don't talk about it. My son can go to the county to study. It's not because of her. But what about Zhang's family, she only knows how to be jealous all day long, and she can't help me with anything.
Listening to her son's grumbling, Mrs. Cheng echoed. Your father said no, and if I did, I'd divorce her."
Cheng Dalang was silent, and when he came back from the ground, he met Carpenter Li, and he never mentioned it to anyone. Thinking that Zhang's family didn't take himself seriously, Carpenter Li's arrogance was to let Zhang's family occupy the title of Cheng's lifelong wife.
"Uncle Wu is here." The outhouse Wang shouted.
Cheng Laohan stood up. If you have something to say in a while, don't be embarrassed in front of Lizheng."
The father and son didn't welcome them out.Wu Xing walked in with a smile.The Cheng family father and son warmly welcomed people into the house.After turning over the politeness.Wu Xing sat down on the kang.
"Da Lang, you're the only talent from a few towns near us, I should have come to see you a long time ago, I was afraid of disturbing you reading, so I didn't come."
A village lives.Just these few families.Whoever is dead, only the mouse knows.Wu Xing is saying polite words.Everyone understands in their hearts.But let Li Zheng say it.Cheng Laohan still feels that he has face.
"You're in charge of everything in the village, it's up to Da Lang to see you."
"I heard Erlang say that your eldest son wants to take the third daughter-in-law of the Zhang family as a concubine. Wu Xing politely said a few words, and then stepped into the main topic.
Cheng Dalang glanced at his mother and bowed his head silently.
Mrs. Cheng glared at her son before she smiled. Wu Xian's nephew, that's right, Xiao Zhang's is pregnant, and she is pregnant with the first grandson of our Cheng family's big house.
Wu Xing showed a look of surprise on his face, but he immediately regained his indifference. Since the eldest lady has thought about it, let's do what the eldest lady says.
I disdain the Cheng family a little bit in my heart.Originally, it was a show.Naturally admirable.It's a pity that the things I did were too amazing.I eloped with a widow.Now I'm back to marry a widow.I want to marry a widow.And drive my good wife to live in a shack.
The rural people have been loyal people for generations, and if they do these things, they will be poked in the back. What kind of person is Zhang? What kind of mother-in-law is Mrs. Cheng? I don't know which one in the village knows. Unfortunately, this is a matter of other people's families after all, and it is not something that outsiders can say.
During the meal, Cheng Erlang put the kang table on and laid out the meal with Wang. The meal was very simple, but for such a poor village, it was also a hard dish.
Frozen cabbage stewed with frozen tofu, fried eggs and dried potatoes stewed chicken, a large pot of stuffed sorghum rice, there are foreign men at different tables, men and women are at different tables, Widow Zhang took the tiger girl over and kowtowed to Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Laohan, and only then took the tiger girl back to the East House under the witness of Wu Xing.
On the kang in the east house, Mrs. Cheng gave each person a bowl of sorghum rice, and there was only a small plate of three dishes on the table.
"Ah, it's not like I haven't eaten it, I see you're hungry." Mrs. Cheng said, but she also took a piece of chicken in her hand and put it in Cheng Lin's bowl.
Hu Niu hurriedly thanked Mrs. Cheng and said with a smile. The family, thank you, look at this child, it's more sensible than the peach blossom."
Wang's originally smug face, hearing this, when she met Widow Zhang's eyes again, coldly moved away, Widow Zhang didn't see it, bowed her head to eat, of course she knew that Wang was competing for favor, but she was an old woman, she was rare, and she was not rare.
"Mother, what can you call it in the future, both of them are sisters-in-law." Wang's chopsticks are stretched into the chicken most often.
Mrs. Cheng's face was already ugly, and she was worried that she couldn't find a chance to speak. Let's call it sister-in-law.Listen to how you seem to be laughing at your eldest brother.Erlang daughter-in-law.I can't write two words in this pen.You have forgotten.Your eldest brother is doing well.Our family is fine.There is a reason for others to laugh at some things.But there is no joke in this side.It's your own family that laughs first."
"Mother, didn't I just ask more, why are you still so angry, eat more chicken."
Mrs. Cheng didn't wait for Wang's chopsticks to catch the chicken and snatched the plate." I'm so old, it's useless to eat so much, your sister-in-law is pregnant, eat more."
Wang took the chopsticks and put a large piece of egg in the bowl. It's not, sister-in-law, you have to take good care of your body, but what you are carrying in your belly is the eldest grandson of our Cheng family."
Except for the Wang family, everyone got the chicken shared by Mrs. Cheng.How much didn't follow Wang's words.No one paid attention to her.Wang didn't dare to say more.The dishes of the big chopsticks.Quan didn't see Mrs. Cheng's face was green.
