Out of the upper room, Hongzhu pondered for a moment in her heart, and in the end she still followed Mrs. Zhu's wishes to find Zhu Biyun. went to her room but didn't see anyone, but Li Shi told her that Zhu Biyun was tidying up the shop in front.

After that big commotion, as soon as everyone dispersed, the grocery store was in chaos. Yesterday, the Li family alone only swept the floor slightly, wiped the shelves, and picked up the broken things and put them aside, but they hadn't cleaned up properly. Because of the situation of the Zhu family today, no one has come to open a shop.

When Hongzhu entered the store, Zhu Biyun was holding an account book, checking the goods item by item, checking yesterday's losses, and writing it down in the account book when it was clear, leaving it to be made up later. Hongzhu saw her holding a small half of her sleeve, her expression was serious and focused, and she didn't notice that someone came in the house, and the footsteps that stepped forward were a meal.

Zhu Biyun has something to do at this time, so he probably doesn't have the heart to think about it, if the red beads go in and bring it up at this time, it will not be good. In fact, Hongzhu didn't know what to persuade her, but Hongzhu understood last night that they were not a person of the same way.

As soon as she thought about it, Hongzhu turned around and withdrew, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a woman in a blue and green short jacket and a blue pleated skirt standing in the courtyard, talking to Li. Hongzhu was stunned for a while, and after looking at it for a while, she recognized it as Zhu Yanmei, the sister-in-law of the Zhu family.

Zhu Yanmei is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhu, and now she is only in her early twenties, which is the best time for her life. She looks like Xiao's father, if she changes to someone else, this is not a good word for a girl's family, but Grandpa Hongzhu is handsome, Zhu Yanmei is like him, her complexion is a little whiter and tenderer, and she has a soft figure, and she is a beauty at her sight.

Mrs. Zhu has been such a daughter all her life, so she naturally loves her so much. When she was born, even her third brother Cheng Guitang was ten years old, and at that time, the Zhu family was such a beautiful little doll up and down, and even Grandpa Hongzhu, a rough man born in the mountains, couldn't help but value her a little more. Therefore, although the Zhu family is not wealthy, Zhu Yanmei has been pampered since childhood.

The youngest daughter of the Zhu family was born well, and the neighbors in the south of the city knew about it back then. Zhu Yanmei grew to the age of eleven or twelve, and the matchmaker came to the door closely. At that time, Mrs. Zhu was so worried, she didn't say it on her face, but in her heart she only felt that her daughter was very good, even if she was an official wife, she was a good match.

But in the south of the city, where can a big official come to the Zhu family's three media and six appointments to ask for marriage. But if you want to tell Zhu Yanmei about a merchant in the south of the city, Mrs. Zhu doesn't look down on it at all. At first, Zhu Yanmei was young, so Mrs. Zhu used this as an excuse to shirk it, and only secretly paid attention to the good. Later, Zhu Yanmei grew up to 14 or 55 years, and she searched for one hundred and eighty families in private, but Mrs. Zhu was still not satisfied, and when she looked back, the people who came to ask were getting worse and worse!

Mrs. Zhu didn't understand the details at that time, so when she asked someone outside, she realized that she didn't know that those broken mouths were talking nonsense, saying that although this Zhu Yanmei was good-looking, she was squeamish and arrogant, and she didn't do any work on weekdays, but she was a beautiful ornament, and she had to wait for it back.

Mrs. Zhu was angry for a long time. She didn't blame her daughter, but she just thought that she had rejected many homes before, and the matchmakers walking around the neighborhood were secretly annoyed, so she deliberately made things difficult for her. She hated it so much in her heart that she turned her head and put aside those matchmakers, and went to the north of the city to inquire about the good official media.

Who knew that the official media was looking for it, but Zhu Yanmei's family affairs were still not going well. In the end, when he was seventeen or eighteen, he married Zhao Liang of the Zhao family's partial branch and the seventh room. Speaking of which, this family member said that it was the Zhao family of the Shi family, but it was just a nice thing to say, but the seven rooms were almost ruined a few years ago.

Hongzhu heard from the Li family, because of this unsatisfactory family affair, Zhu Yanmei was also annoyed by her own mother-in-law, and rarely returned to her parents' house in the first year or two after she got married. Two years ago, Hongzhu's uncle Zhao Liang didn't have a livelihood on the side, saying that he helped the Zhao family's house take care of the real estate and fields on the Yishan side, and became the Zhao family's steward.

Zhu Yanmei moved to Yishan County outside the city with her husband, but she became more and more distant from the Zhu family. But the people in the world are like this, far away, but they miss it, and now Zhu Yanmei is free and walks to Zhu's house.

I don't know if she got any news today, but she also came.

Although Hongzhu was surprised in her heart, she didn't delay to come forward to greet her, "Auntie is here!"

When Zhu Yanmei heard this, she turned her face, looked at the red bead for a while, and said, "I haven't seen you for the past two months, the red bead has grown again, and this little appearance is getting better and better." ”

Hongzhu knew that her sister-in-law was conceited and beautiful, and she praised her when she opened her mouth today, so she muttered a little in her heart, only smiled and didn't answer casually, turned her head and asked again: "Did my aunt come here because she knew about grandma's illness?"

Zhu Yanmei shook her head, "I only heard about it when I came." As he spoke, he cried with a plain blue handkerchief in his hand, "Why are there so many arrogant people, if they can't get married after a good discussion, they will come to the door!" Pity my mother for being so old, and she has to suffer so much, if something happens to my mother, what should I do!"

Li persuaded on the side: "Sister, don't worry, the old lady's body has always been tough, I asked the doctor to see it today, and I just said that it would be good to raise it for two days, and it would be fine." ”

Zhu Yanmei wiped her eyes, "No matter how good my mother is, she is also old, so how can I not be in a hurry." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and complained: "Third sister-in-law, you said that the eldest sister-in-law is too, Biyun is not good to find any relatives, she actually found such a family that ran the boat, and she is not afraid of people's jokes when she says it! Think about it, the men of the Deng family are in the wind and waves, and they are used to seeing life and death on that big boat, and they have already become cold-hearted, and they can take care of the lives and deaths of other people's children there, one is not compatible, don't say that they are in-laws, they call someone to kill them, and there is no one left!"

Li was shocked when he heard this, and he was a little afraid, but when he heard Zhu Yanmei talking about his sister-in-law, he didn't say anything after all.

Zhu Yanmei was about to say something, but Hongzhu couldn't help but speak when she saw it, "Auntie, it's awake in grandma's room, aren't you going to see her?"

Zhu Yanmei woke up at this time, turned around, took a handkerchief and wiped her tears and went to the upper room.

Every time she came, she always had to talk to Mrs. Zhu behind closed doors for a long time, and Li and Hongzhu didn't follow her. Hongzhu muttered, "This mother has been sick for a long time and didn't want to see her, but she cried first." The Li family next to him only vaguely listened to the general idea, and looked at her with a frown, "The little girl's family, how can she always arrange others." Hongzhu pursed her lips secretly, but did not respond.

Li Shi looked at the sky and said, "It's noon, I have to leave your aunt to eat, and I'll cook." With that, he went to the kitchen.

Hongzhu also went to help, and asked her again: "Mother, where is my uncle? Could it be that he went to Deng's house?"

Li sighed: "I was thinking of going. But you look at the old lady and your uncle, where can you walk, this morning your uncle asked the doctor and grabbed medicine, and it took a long time to get it done. Just now I was free, saying that I was going to walk around the owner's place. ”

Hongzhu nodded, and said, "In this way, the Zeng family didn't agree yesterday." ”

Li snorted, knowing that this was probably the case.

Hongzhu said: "Then you can't go to Deng's house today?" After thinking about it, he was a little worried, "It's so unclear, I'm afraid that Deng Jincheng suffered a loss yesterday, and I want to come back today to find face......

Suddenly, Zhu Zilan walked in, and when she heard Hongzhu's words, she couldn't help but be annoyed: "What is it to get face, if the Deng family wants to have face, the family should come to the door to apologize today!"

Hongzhu looked back at her in surprise when she heard this, but Zhu Zilan had red eyes, snorted angrily and pulled the cabbage in the basket between the stoves, and scolded: "All of them are white-eyed wolves." Accompany so many things on weekdays, and when it comes to helping, you don't have any strength, and sooner or later you will regret it. ”

Hongzhu frowned, and couldn't figure out whether Zhu Zilan was talking about the Zeng family, or Zhu Yanmei, who had just come? Thinking about it, Zhu Zilan's paranoid temperament was unreasonable, and at this time, she just wanted to comfort her, and she was also angry when she talked to her, so it was better to ignore it. Hongzhu didn't care about her, and secretly pulled Li's sleeve to prevent her from speaking.

Zhu Zilan stopped making a noise after a while, but seriously helped prepare lunch.

When Zhu Guida came back at noon, Jiang's was already better, and he didn't say that he was dizzy. And Mrs. Zhu's illness was already angry, but when she saw her daughter this time, the illness went to seventy or eighty percent, and her complexion improved a lot.

Because Zhu Yanmei was there, Zhu Guida didn't say anything to worry about, only said that the owner and Zhang Lao agreed to help, and said that if they were in a hurry, they would be able to make time to follow Deng's house in the afternoon.

Mrs. Zhu was afraid that something would happen again if she delayed the time, so she said: "If you can, it is naturally better to go in a hurry." ”

Zhu Guida also said yes, and no one else had anything to say, but Zhu Yanmei, who was silent, suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going together?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, and Jiang's expression was even more dazed.

Zhu Guida looked at the gauze bandaged on Jiang's head, frowned at his sister, and said, "Your sister-in-law is still injured, where can I go out." ”

Zhu Yanmei said disapprerovingly: "Then the Deng family is the neighbor of the sister-in-law's mother's family, I heard that this family is also the first to respond, and now she wants to go to the Deng family to make amends and return to the family, the sister-in-law goes, and then invite the sister-in-law's family to go together, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Hongzhu on the side heard a heartbeat, and secretly said that this Zhu Yanmei was ruthless.

What kind of family is the Jiang family, when the Jiang family married the Jiang family to the merchant Master Jiang, they were all unwilling, and now they still talk about the style of the scholar, who does not bend his waist when he is powerful, and when people are hungry and poor, it is also called peace and poverty. The Zhu family wants to withdraw from their relatives, or because their fiancé is seriously ill, how can the Jiang family get involved in such a disgraceful matter. If the Jiang family dares to come to the door, they will immediately be beaten out by Master Jiang.

and Jiang's own, saying that she wanted to go to the Deng family to make amends, and she was willing to go for the sake of her daughter, but if she really wanted to drag her sick body to the Deng family to cry and kneel and beg regardless of decency, how could she endure her anger......

Zhu Yanmei said so lightly, and she slammed off her sister-in-law's face.
