Chapter 36: Get on your knees

Jiang's situation, everyone can feel that something is wrong at a glance.

Zhu Guida was shocked and angry, where could he still bear it, stepped forward and pulled her back, slapped her with his other hand, and shouted: "Jiang! What are you doing!"

Because of Zhu Guida's strength, Jiang Shi couldn't stand firm because of the pain, but he really took a few steps back before he was almost supported by Zhu Zilan. She looked dazed and stunned, as if she had just understood, tears rolled down her eyes, and then she hid her face and whimpered, pulled her handkerchief and cried: "I'm really miserable-"

"You-" Seeing this, Zhu Guida was so angry that his heart hurt, and he wanted to beat her hard, but he was also uncomfortable in the end, so he endured it and didn't move, but his eyes were wide open, and he grabbed her hand hard.

Old Mrs. Zhu was already annoyed, and said loudly: "What are you making trouble, stop it! This matter is already like this, what else can you do? Jiang, if you want to make trouble again, then go back to your Jiang family! You can't make me stingy with a letter of resignation?" He stared at Zhu Guida again and said, "This is all what you are used to, how old a person is, and you can't control your wife and children? You really want to be angry with me!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhu said this, Zhu Guida and Jiang both paused, and stood aside with their heads bowed and their faces stiffened.

Old Mrs. Zhu snorted, and suddenly stared at Zhu Biyun who was kneeling below, secretly hating in her heart, if she hadn't wanted to protect this granddaughter, where would the Zhu family have given birth to so many things, what kind of divorce and what kind of substitution marriage, and now she almost had a private opinion! It really made her lose face when she saw her father and mother a hundred years later.

Seeing Zhu Biyun's miserable situation, Li couldn't help but have red eyes, and stepped forward to help her. Hongzhu was so frightened by Jiang's side, his hands and feet were a little slower, and he didn't have time to stop Li before he stepped forward to help people, so he watched Li help Zhu Biyun up. Hongzhu was afraid that she would stimulate Jiang again, and her eyes stared at it for a moment.

didn't want Zhu Biyun to borrow strength, but he quickly let go of Li's hand again, covering his face while trying to kneel uprightly.

Li Shi couldn't bear it, "Biyun, are you okay?" Seeing that the scattered hair covered half of her face, she only saw blood marks, and couldn't help asking: "Let the third sister-in-law see your injuries?"

Zhu Biyun looked at her gratefully, then pushed her away and kowtowed heavily to Mrs. Zhu, and said in a low voice: "It's all Biyun's fault." ”

Seeing this, Hongzhu still had a faint worry in her heart after all, so she immediately rushed forward to pull Li back.

When Mrs. Zhu saw that Zhu Biyun had fallen miserably, she had no pity in her heart, and only said coldly: "Biyun, you have made such a ridiculous move today, ignoring the discipline of your daughter, ruining your reputation, and wasting your family's efforts, do you know your mistake?"

Zhu Biyun whimpered and nodded repeatedly.

Old Madam Zhu glared at her for a while, and said, "Since you know that you are wrong, you will be punished for kneeling and reflecting." As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Zilan who was standing on the side and called her: "Zilan, if you hadn't quarreled with your sister, she wouldn't have gone out." You don't respect your elders and don't know etiquette, do you know your mistakes?"

Zhu Zilan didn't expect it to involve her, and she was naturally unhappy when she heard the words, "Grandma, I didn't ......" She was about to reply to refute one or two, but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhu, and only scolded: "One or two don't understand the rules! Don't you know the severity of what you do, do you know the mistakes?"

Zhu Zilan was taken aback by Mrs. Zhu's face, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized a little bit in her heart, because she quarreled with Hongzhu and let Hongzhu learn about the surrogate marriage, she let the mother and son of the Cheng family take the conversation and make Mrs. Zhu lose face...... Mrs. Zhu is a person who values face a lot, and she can't help the Cheng family, how can she still let her go. Zhu Zilan couldn't hold back after all, but she was not angry, but she didn't reply half a word, and walked straight forward and knelt down.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi knelt down with a cold face and without saying a word.

Old Madam Zhu was stunned for a moment, immediately frowned, and snorted unhappily, "What, are you not convinced?"

Jiang Shi hung his head and said in a muffled voice: "My daughter made a mistake, and I failed to teach it well...... Old lady, tell me to kneel. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu couldn't say anything annoyed in her heart, and only said, "Is this my fault?" She glanced at Zhu Guida and said coldly: "It's your father-in-law who took Biyun to the Deng family today, my son, he did this thing, isn't it also me who didn't teach me well?"

As soon as Zhu Guida heard this, he also knelt down and said, "Mother, don't be angry, it's all my fault, it's my son who is not angry and has done errands." ”

Zhu Guida knelt down, and Zhu Boxiu, who had been silent, also barely stood up, and staggered down with one leg to support him.

Zhu Boxiu knelt down like this, and Jiang, who had always regarded him as his life, had no change in his expression, and his face was as silent as death. Zhu Guida sincerely admitted his mistake, and Jiang was obviously unwilling to coerce here.

At this time, the empty space in the hall was almost full.

Li Shi looked worried and dazed, and subconsciously grabbed Hongzhu's hand, and the footsteps also wanted to move forward, but Hongzhu was tightly pinched. Li Shi turned his face to look at her in surprise, and Hongzhu shook his head at her slightly. Li's face froze and hesitated.

Admitting mistakes, pleading for mercy, or coercing Mrs. Zhu? Hongzhu looked at the Zhu family like this, and her heart was a little cold, and now she really wanted to leave the Zhu family immediately. Thinking that the previous marriage was the fault of the Zhu family, Hongzhu made a big fuss, and Mrs. Zhu was still holding her breath in her heart. Once they kneel down now, Mrs. Zhu will not care whether they are reasonable or not, she is afraid that she will maintain her status as elders, and she will punish them with the same words of disrespect for their elders, it is better not to pretend this scene......

Li didn't think about it too much, but she had always been used to hearing Hongzhu's words, and although she felt that the Zhu family was uncomfortable kneeling and standing with her, she didn't move. Cheng Wenhan is looking at his sister with the head of the horse, and if the red bead does not move, he will not move. So the three members of the Cheng family stayed quietly, but they stood in the corner before, and if they didn't look at them at this time, they wouldn't be able to feel that there were still them in the house.

Old Mrs. Zhu didn't care about a few red beads at this time, she saw Zhu Boxiu kneeling down with her injured leg, her eyebrows furrowed, and she couldn't help but be even more annoyed with the Jiang family, this is a gesture to deal with her! She laughed angrily, but said very calmly: "Until now, it is also the life of the Zhu family, it is the life of Biyun, and if you continue to toss, this day will not have to pass." Then she said coldly, "Kneel if you want to kneel," and she said, ignoring the man who knelt down, and turned back to her room on crutches.

As soon as Mrs. Zhu left, the room became silent again.

Hongzhu moved her hand and was about to quietly pull her mother and younger brother out, but at this time, the half-hidden door of the hall opened, and Zhu Yanmei walked in with a basket in her hand.

I don't know how long she stood outside, but when she came in, she saw the situation in the house, and her face was not much surprised, but the tone of the question was exaggerated, "What's going on? Oh, what's wrong?"

Compared with Jiang's bright and dark calculations, Hongzhu didn't like Zhu Yanmei's ill-intentioned behavior even more, and didn't want to pay attention to her at the moment, so she quickly nodded to her and said hello, and pulled Cheng Wenhan of the Li family back to the room.

Seeing them avoiding like this, Zhu Yanmei's face changed, but she didn't stop it.

When he returned to the room, Hongzhu immediately said: "Mother, look at what we have to pack up, prepare early, and the province is in a hurry." ”

Li was still thinking about the things in Fang Caitang's house, and his mind didn't belong, so he didn't respond in a daze.

Hongzhu shook her hand, and Cheng Wenhan also shouted: "Mother!"

Li came back to his senses at this time, but said: "Didn't you wait until your father's business was done to move, where is the need to start cleaning up now." ”

Hongzhu persuaded: "There's nothing wrong with cleaning it up first, when Sister Biyun gets married, the family will be in a mess, where can I take care of these?" She explained first, afraid that the Li family would not care, so she said: "I see that the eldest aunt is all angry, but I am afraid that she will resent us in her heart, and she will cause trouble again when she turns around, so it is better to clean up properly, we can leave at any time." ”

When Li Shi heard this, he showed a little intention of running away and dodging, so he was shocked, and after thinking about it, he said helplessly: "Why is this really what kind of jackal, tiger and leopard are you your eldest uncle? She sighed and said, "Now that the family is sad about your sister Biyun, we will clean up here noisily, and it is too unfriendly to say it......"

Cheng Wenhan rolled his eyes, and he didn't persuade her carefully, but smiled crookedly and said: "Mother, this is called being prepared, you just listen to my sister." ”

Hearing what the children said, Li didn't say anything, nodded in response. It's just that because of the vast chaos, I don't know where to clean up for a while, and I say I want this for a while, and then I think of that again, and it looks like I'm swinging back and forth in a narrow room.

Seeing her like this, Hongzhu didn't feel funny, so she had no choice but to pull her over and sit down, and called Cheng Wenhan to sit on the edge of the bed together, and the three of them discussed what happened after moving.

The first important thing is that they leave the Zhu family to live there. Her mother Li is a young widow, and her younger brother Cheng Wenhan has to study, she doesn't feel like it herself, but according to others, she is also a big girl, so the three of them live more exquisitely. It's remote, it's noisy, it's big, it's small...... In fact, if it weren't for this, Hongzhu would not have returned to Zhu's house at the beginning.

Li also understood the situation at home, so he said: "Just find a place to rent near the south of the city, if the independent courtyard is too expensive, it will be one with other families." ”

Hongzhu remembered the restaurant they had just rented. Before, I thought that there were a lot of utensils and miscellaneous items in the shop, and sometimes I had to make a fire at night and so on, so I left the wing room for Uncle Li to live in and keep vigil. Since Second Uncle Li has lived, if the restaurant is busy, most of the Zhong family is unwilling to work back and forth, or they may live together. Then the small side courtyard that their Li family is renting now is big, and if they clean it up, they can also let the Cheng family live. Thinking of this, Hongzhu told me about it.

Li shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Hongzhu, your second uncle is good, but it is too much to mention this, it is already very troublesome for him for the two of us to open a shop together, and there is no reason to live together." ”

Hongzhu thinks about it deeply, it is inappropriate, the Zhu family is a flesh and blood relative, and now they live together and live like this, it can be seen that there are a lot of friction and trivial matters if they are too close, and there is a Li Nanxing in the Li family, and he is not his uncle and cousin, Hongzhu is still a little afraid of gossip. He only said: "I know, but I still tell my second uncle about the house, and the second uncle in the south of the city knows a lot of people, so I can't say that there is just an empty house." If I can't, let my second uncle find me a familiar and credible Chinese person to find. ”

Lee answered.

Cheng Wenhan listened thoughtfully, looked troubled, Hongzhu saw it and asked, Cheng Wenhan said, "Sister, it's better to ...... I'm going to apply for the Xishan Academy in the spring, right?" he paused and said carefully: "If I go to the academy, my mother and sister can live in the shop together." It's just that...... The cost of the academy may be more, and there will be fewer people in the family......" He wept and mourned, and felt more and more that he had made a bad idea.

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.
