In the silence of the night, the shrill woman's screams were clearly visible, especially the words with a hint of expletive.

Gu Delei sat on the chair in his hall, smoking a dry cigarette, listening to the sound from next door, the old man looked up and crossed the courtyard wall as if he wanted to know what was going on next door, listening to the scolding voice, the old man had a trace of disgust on his face, this voice was obviously the eldest brother's temperamental daughter.

The so-called everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others. The old man only frowned, but he sat as steady as Mount Tai and didn't move. However, the old lady next to him got up curiously, tiptoed her head and looked at the next door, and picked her ears with her nails, as if she wanted to hear why the next door was arguing.

Wang Meili was also out of curiosity, and after walking out of the house quickly, she saw the old lady looking lively, but the old man of his family was smoking a dry cigarette with an expressionless face, as if such a big movement next door could not affect him.

Wang Meili walked up to the old lady and asked, "Mom, what's the noise next door, you don't go to sleep at night, your grandson is about to be woken up by them." ”

The old lady patted her chest and scolded her daughter-in-law who was complaining: "Ouch! You bad hearted, you walk without making a sound, your soul is going to be scared away by you, my good grandson is asleep, you are not in the house to accompany the child, come out and talk nonsense." ”

Wang Meili flattened her mouth, and said in her heart: "Why do you tell me to walk without a sound! Obviously, you are too involved in listening to other people's corners, okay!"

Although Wang Meili thought so in her heart, she couldn't say so, so she hurriedly laughed and said: "Mom, don't be angry, it's all your daughter-in-law's, isn't it your daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law who came out because she listened to the noise outside, I also feel sorry for Bao'er, this next door is really true, when don't you have to be noisy." Mother. Would you like to go over and have a look? Let them stop arguing. ”

The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law, and said fiercely: "Look at it, go back to your house! ”

Wang Meili was not angry on her face, and still said with a smile: "Okay, okay, daughter-in-law, let's go back to the house, and you and my dad will go to bed early." ”

The old lady waited for her daughter-in-law's figure to disappear, then walked to the old man and sat down, and said in a voice that the two could hear: "Old man, how long has it been since this Lixia came back for such a trip, even if my sister-in-law had an accident, I didn't see this girl come back, why did she quarrel like this when she came back?"

As she spoke, the old lady looked next door and continued: "I listen to the meaning of this, this girl is coming back to ask for the family property? The water spilled by the married girl, what does the separation have to do with the girl, this girl doesn't know? You have to be filial, how can this helmsman not leave you, you listen to what this girl said, why is it so vicious!" If my daughter dares to yell like this in front of me, I will definitely slap her in the mouth a few times, so that she has no door in her mouth, and give her the money, it would be good if I didn't sweep her out with a broom. ”

The old man knocked the ash in the pipe casually, and said lightly without raising his eyebrows, "Okay, you talk so much, what are you doing with other people's housework, if you want to be idle, go back to the house and sleep." ”

The old lady was not angry, but moved her body to the place where the old man was doing, "Look at what you said, I don't care about the eldest brother's family, our family is so close to his family, this can be heard next door in the yard, you said that this big night is noisy like this, change the big brother's face and can't hang up, otherwise you go over to persuade it, this is all a family, so fierce and hurtful and angry." ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his eyes, looked at the old woman and said coldly: "I want to go to you, you don't know what Lixia's temperament is, be careful that girl turns around and argues with you." The affairs of the eldest brother's family, he has his own measure, and we don't need to worry about it. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned at first, then shook her head, and said to herself: "Alas! This person is really old, and he knows that he has raised a white-eyed wolf, and I don't know what this old sister-in-law will think when she listens to what her spoiled daughter will say, and she will definitely be half angry! Fortunately, these are good, otherwise we would not have to die of misery!"

Here, Mu Yingying's house. Zhou Xing walked into the house after tidying up the stove room, looking at the light of her daughter's room, she lifted the curtain and looked over, only to see that her daughter was holding a needle and white cloth with her head down, and she was seriously embroidering something. Zhou Xing was very curious, and asked with a smile: "Yingying, why haven't you slept yet, what are you embroidering?"

Mu Yingying was not frightened when she heard her mother's voice, but sat up straight happily, looked at her mother who came over and said, "Mom, you are done cleaning up, come and sit on the kang." This is the cross-stitch that Sisi Protestant taught us to do, but it is easier than embroidery, you look at my embroidery for a while, how beautiful is it?"

Zhou Xing did it along the kang, looked at the white cloth handed over by her daughter, and touched it casually, "There are still patterns on it, this picture is really good, but your embroidery looks messy, one in the east and one in the west." ”

"Hehe, I'm embroidering a color first, and then I'll change to another color after this color is embroidered, and I'll show you when I'm done." Mu Yingying smiled awkwardly, it was the first time she did this, and she didn't think it was like anything at first, but after doing it, she still felt that she would definitely be able to do it well.

Zhou Xing looked at her daughter lovingly, and said distressedly: "Don't embroider for too long at night, it's not good for your eyes, and now our family can't afford your sisters and brothers to go to school, don't think about making money so much, just do a good job in learning." ”

"Well, Mom, don't worry, I can distinguish between priorities and priorities. It's just that I think I like to do handicrafts, and it's good to have this skill, and Sisi said, this cross-stitch is the first one in our town, and she didn't urge us to pay for a long time, just say that it's done, I just want to embroider a little every day, of course, reading is the most important. Mu Yingying nodded, took the white cloth and continued to embroider with needle and thread.

"You have to know it. Zhou Xing listened to her daughter's words, and she was very relieved. So the mother and daughter didn't speak, one embroidered and the other looked, who knew that it aroused Zhou Xing's interest for a short time, "Mom looks at this cloth as if it has been pulped, this is specially drawn like this, it is much easier to look like this, otherwise let Mom try it, if Mom can do it, now the wheat is also planted, and there is less work, Mom will do this at home." ”

Mu Yingying nodded, and then told her mother how to do it little by little, and after watching her mother try a few injections, she said: "Mom, we went to Sisi's house today, her sister-in-law came back, and she brought her uncle and two younger brothers, but Sisi didn't seem to be very happy, it seemed that Haohao was beaten, it was Uncle Sisi's son, it seemed that her sister-in-law was beaten, and her face was swollen." ”

"Really?" Zhou Xing's movements on her hand stopped, her brows twisted, she had seen the little boy named Haohao, how old was that child, how could this sister-in-law have such a heavy hand, thinking of Gu Lixia's appearance when she was her daughter, Zhou Xing couldn't help but give her daughter a reminder, "That Gu Lixia is a rude, very temperamental, you have to avoid her when you go to Sisi's house in the past two days, that person is not easy to mess with, presumably it will not be good to come back this time." ”

"Well, Mom, I know it all. But Sisi doesn't seem to be afraid of her sister-in-law at all. Mu Yingying nodded, taking what her mother said to heart.

"Sisi and her grandfather, her sister-in-law was spoiled by her grandmother, I think she had suffered a loss on her sister-in-law before! But now that they are separated, her sister-in-law can't reach her family, so she won't be afraid of her. Zhou Xing smiled, Sisi's child has really changed a lot, but her daughter is also very good now.

"Well, Sisi is more courageous than me and has more ideas, she will definitely not suffer. Mu Yingying felt that her mother was right, Sisi was not as weak as before, and now Sisi is her role model.

At this end, Gu Xing'an looked at the little sister standing under the eaves, he felt that the back of the little sister looked so lonely, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his little sister was still the best to be happy. "Little sister, go back to the house and sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow. There is a grandfather and uncle in front of her, and she can't make a fuss. ”

Gu Sisi didn't look back, but looked ahead through the night, with a faint sadness in his voice, "I just thought that grandpa would be very sad, but I didn't expect her to come back like this time." ”

In the front yard of the house, the old man stood, the pair of vicissitudes, slightly rough hands with green tendons, the weather-beaten face with anger, the old eyes were full of disappointment, the old man looked at the unfilial daughter who was messing around and talking viciously, and stopped coldly: "Enough! Did you say enough! This family is not your turn to call the shots now! What your mother is willing to give you, I will never stop it, but don't ask yourself, that is, steal!" Hello, this hand has reached into your own home, this is what you have learned over the years, it has simply lost the face of my ancient family!"

"What did I steal, what was wrong with my own things! I was ashamed? What was wrong with my share, why did you give them a share, only my share was missing! I tell you, old immortal, you think I rarely come back, you just beg me to come back, I don't even bother to reply!" Gu Lixia was first frightened by the old man's words, and then quickly recovered, looking at the old man even more open-mouthed.

"You...... You...... Okay, since you dislike this family so much, dislike me and your mother, you don't want to come back in the future! I will treat you as a daughter! Don't worry, even if you are prosperous and rich in the future, your mother and I, the two old immortals, will not go to you to beg you!" Goodsheng's hand holding the handle of the chair couldn't help but grasp it tighter, looking at the unfilial girl who was not far away, the old man felt a little empty in his heart.

Qin Shoucheng looked at the old man's reaction, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, this stupid woman's good hand of cards was broken by her. Qin Shoucheng pulled the stupid woman who still wanted to reply, and leaned into the woman's ear to warn: "Shut up for me! You talk to your father like this! Do you still want to live a good life!"

Seeing the stupid woman's body shrink, Qin Shoucheng said to the old man above: "Dad, don't be impulsive, this Lixia has a big temper recently, what she said is angry, she didn't mean that! You are calm and calm, how can you know what kind of character she has, how can you say that you don't recognize it, if you don't recognize Lixia, don't you even recognize Yangyang and Kangkang, they are your own grandsons!"

Qin Shoucheng's words did not save anything, but the old man knew more clearly in his heart, the old man waved his hand to stop what Qin Shoucheng still wanted to say, "Okay, don't say it! I'm old, but I'm not stupid! Whether this is true or false, I know it in my heart, old man! It's still the same sentence, everything that should be given to her in this family has been given, what you want now, this family can't give it, you can go back tomorrow!"

As soon as Gu Lixia saw this old immortal putting on her husband's face, the arrogance that had just been stopped by her husband instantly ignited, and the words in her mouth were thrown out without thinking about it. "No, you can't give it if you say you can't give it, I don't believe it! I ask you, what about the jewelry and gold bars that my mother hid in the box?

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shoucheng lost a smile on his face at first, but Gu Lixia did not notice the chill emanating from his body. Gu Lixia looked at the shocked expression of the old immortal, with a confident smile on her face, "Hmph! No points! Since there are no points, why don't you take them out, why don't you tell me no? Don't talk to me, I've seen those jewelry and gold bars, big brother and a few of them don't know, this is excusable, I know it clearly, don't fool me! I don't have any requirements, you give me some of those jewelry, give me a few gold bars......"

When Gu Guoqiang heard this, he also looked shocked and disbelieving, and before Gu Lixia finished speaking, he looked at the old man and asked in disbelief: "Dad, what gold bars? What jewelry? What she said is true?"

The old man looked at the reaction of the eldest son, and then looked at the face of the unfilial daughter, and he sat down tremblingly. When he looked up at the eldest son again, the old man sighed heavily, "Alas!" looked at the unfilial daughter and said, "Okay, you want to know where those gold bars and jewelry went, right? I'll tell you!"

Gu Lixia took a few steps forward, with anticipation on her face, even Qin Shoucheng was curious at this time.

The old man didn't miss the expressions on the faces of the two, and said lightly: "When you got married, how much private money did your mother give you?

"What do you mean? Don't tell me, those things are exchanged for gold bars and jewelry?" Hearing this, Gu Lixia frowned, looking at the old man's face very badly, don't be what she thinks!

The old man nodded and didn't speak, but just this point made Qin Shoucheng even more incredulous, Gu Lixia's face turned pale, and he shook his head and said: "No, no, I don't believe it!

"Believe it or not!" The old man glanced at the unfilial daughter lightly, and continued: "Back then, your mother was timid, afraid that our family would be branded and pulled out to criticize, she secretly sold some valuable ones cheaply, you can go to the village chief and his father to confirm that he collected the things back then." If you don't believe it, you are so big, what is good about your mother will be kept for you, just like that, your mother who spoiled you was afraid to secretly leave a few pieces of jewelry, saying that it was to make you a dowry, and the gold bars you saw were just wrapped in yellow paper and pretended, which was made by your mother herself, not true!"

Gulxia sat down on the ground, and said something in her mouth, "No, I don't believe it, you lied to me! You and the old woman lied to me! You are all coaxing me, coaxing me......"

The old man looked at the unfilial girl and continued: "There is nothing in the box you are looking for today, and it is your mother's obsession to lock it! You just turn this house upside down, and we have nothing for you! Boss, you go to the main house, take out the wooden box in the corner of the wardrobe, and let your sister see it!"

Gu Guoqiang obediently turned around and went to the house to get something, Qin Shoucheng endured the anger in his heart, looking at the stupid woman sitting on the ground with anger in her eyes, Gu Lixia didn't notice the look in her husband's eyes, at this moment she kept shaking her head, as if she didn't want to face this heavy blow, "No, no......"
