Chapter 166: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
The Jiang family has always treated Xia Zhi coldly, and only said a word to Xia Zhi when he was in the outhouse before eating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Now, the Jiang family took the initiative to find Xia Zhi, the purpose of which was to hear more about Fucheng.
Xia Zhi knew that what the Jiang clan actually wanted to know was not about Fucheng.
"Okay, auntie, if you like to listen, then I'll tell you about it. But I have a lot to say, and I don't know if I'm right. Xia Zhi said to the Jiang clan with a smile.
"Good, good. As long as you say it, my aunt loves to hear it. Jiang said this, and glanced around, and then took Xia Solstice to the cucumber stand, she also took the bench, gave Xia Solstice and Xiao Shu'er one each, and she herself sat on the bench, looking at Xia Solstice expectantly.
Xia Zhi smiled and didn't speak in a hurry.
Jiang hurriedly stood up, went to the cucumber rack and found two tender and raw cucumbers, and gave one to Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er.
"Don't let your grandmother see it. "It's not yet the season to eat cucumbers, and small cucumbers like this have to be kept for longer. Most people don't eat this because they think it's a waste of things.
In fact, such small tender cucumbers are delicious.
The summer solstice was not polite, but the cucumber came to take the handkerchief and wiped it and gnawed it. In this era, there is no pollution, there are no pesticides, and natural organic foods like this can be eaten without washing them with water at all.
While eating cucumbers, Xia Zhi began to tell the Jiang family about the affairs of the city. During this period, she naturally mentioned Aunt Xia, and then also mentioned Guo Xi and Guo Yuhuan. Jiang listened very carefully, and would interject from time to time to ask.
Slowly, Xia Zhi knew what the Jiang family wanted to hear most.
The gherkins have already been eaten, Xia Zhi said that his mouth is almost dry, and the Jiang family is still a little unsatisfied. However, Jiang also saw that Xia Zhi seemed to be reluctant to talk about it further, so she didn't force it.
"Summer solstice, you still have to stay here for a night. My aunt will take the time to listen to you talk about Fucheng. With that, Jiang left in a hurry.
Xiao Shu'er has been listening to the side, at first he thought that what Xia Zhi said was quite interesting, but gradually, when the topic of Xia Zhi and the Jiang family revolved around the sister-in-law Wang, matchmaking, bride price, and what kind of coffin shop Shao Owner and the like, Xiao Shu'er was not interested. However, he didn't leave, he wanted to stay by Xia Zhi's side at all times and be Xia Zhi's loyal little bodyguard.
"Sister, what do you always talk about matchmakers, what do you do matchmakers, I see my aunt's eyes lit up. When the Jiang clan was far away, Xiao Shu'er said to Xia Zhi.
"You can see that her eyes are shining?!" Xia Zhi smiled, "Does she like to listen, so I said it." ”
"Sister, is what you said true?" asked Xiao Shu'er. Although he was a ghost elf, he didn't understand the purpose and significance of Xia Zhi and Jiang's conversation at this time.
"Of course it's true. When did your sister and I deceive someone? Xia Zhi smiled, raised his hand and pinched Xiao Shu'er's nose. "Little tree, you did well today. When we go home, my sister will buy you something delicious. My sister made your dress for you herself. ”
"Sister, can you add another pair of shoes?" Xiao Shu'er's big eyes flickered, this is coquettish with the summer solstice.
Xiao Shu'er, this kid is really clever, and he will take the opportunity to talk to Xia Solstice about the conditions.
"Beautiful you. Xia Solstice immediately bluffed.
Xiao Shu'er hurriedly grinned and laughed, calling her sister in her mouth.
Xia Zhi was amused by him, "If you don't say it, you will make you a new pair of shoes." Didn't you see that I bought back so many rulers to make uppers? You'll have to let me do it slowly, though. ”
"That's not in a hurry, sister, just do it slowly. Xiao Shu'er was overjoyed and immediately said.
……
In the upper room, Xia Xiucai and Xia Qiao didn't know when they were taken to the mountain to see the fruit trees by Uncle Tian. Tian didn't go, she was sitting on the kang with her head slightly bowed at the moment, and if you looked closely, you could see that her eyes were red again.
On the opposite side of the Tian family, there were old man Tian and Tian Wang, and Tian Dabao was also sitting next to old man Tian.
Old man Tian didn't know what to say, so Tian Dabao pounced and knelt down for Tian. Then, he also hugged Tian's leg and shouted Gu one after another.
When Jiang walked into the upper room, he saw such a scene. She hesitated at the door, but walked in. She didn't speak, so she quietly walked to Tian Wang's side.
Tian Wang knew that his daughter-in-law was coming, so he didn't look at her, and just talked to Tian. “…… You are his aunt, if you don't love him anymore, who else will love him. Dabao is counting on you for marrying a daughter-in-law. ”
At this time, the Jiang clan should not have disturbed the Tian Wang clan. But after thinking about it, she still called out to her mother in a low voice, and then gently pulled Tian Wang's sleeve.
Tian Wang looked back at Jiang impatiently: "What's the matter?" Don't you see that she is busy? What she is doing now is the most important thing, it is related to Tian Dabao, why did Jiang come forward to interrupt with such a blank look.
"Mother, I have something to tell you. Jiang still said to Tian Wang.
Tian Wang's eyebrows wrinkled into a pimple again. She knew the temper of this daughter-in-law, if it wasn't for something really important at this time, the Jiang family would not interrupt her like this.
Tian Wang looked at Old Man Tian.
Old man Tian had long noticed that the Jiang clan was coming, and he had also seen the interaction between her and the Tian Wang clan. Old man Tian glanced at the Jiang family coldly. Jiang was slightly shrunk by Old Man Tian, but she did not withdraw, but insisted on pulling Tian Wang's sleeve.
Old man Tian glanced at Tian Wang's family: "Come back quickly." ”
Tian Wang agreed, and walked out with Jiang.
Tian Dabao was still kneeling on the ground, and Tian wanted to pull him up but couldn't pull him up at all. Tian Dabao is a fool~, and he was born with intellectual problems. In Tian's house, Tian Dabao listened to Old Man Tian's words first.
At this time, Old Man Tian didn't let him get up, he wouldn't get up.
Tian was extremely embarrassed: "Dad, I have thought of all the ways I can think of." I, I'll try to ...... "Over the years, Tian has responded to every request in front of Old Man Tian, and today is the first time that he feels guilty and embarrassed like now.
The father and daughter's eyes made brief contact, and they both had a very bad premonition at the same time. What Old Man Tian thought was that this girl would be useless in the future. What Tian thinks is that her family is gradually separated from her, and Xia Xiucai's situation is not as good as before, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to raise her head in front of her father and mother in the future.
……
Tian Wang followed Jiang to the outside and stopped under the window. "What's the matter?" Tian Wang asked Jiang with some impatience.
"Mother," Jiang said in a snort, "I think this time my sister and my brother-in-law will not be able to come out with more money." ”
Tian Wang saw that she was talking about this, so he glared at her. "Emaciated camels are better than horses. Squeeze it again, and you can always squeeze out the money. Your sister doesn't make money herself, and if your sister makes money herself, she won't talk so much. "This is to complain about Xia Xiucai, and Xia Zhi's children are separated from them, and they are unwilling to think about them wholeheartedly, so they can only work Tian's body.
"Even if you can squeeze out more money, it's just a layer away. Mother, did you see the summer solstice, I asked her again just now. Mother, our eldest girl is also older, and her appearance is not bad, and she is dressed up and dressed up, no worse than the summer solstice. Jiang did not refute Xia Zhi's words, "Mother, if the eldest girl can get back the bride price like Xia Zhi, who else do we have to beg, we can directly marry a daughter-in-law to Dabao." ”
Tian Wang looked at Jiang suspiciously: "I used to say that I was going to hire the eldest girl, let's collect more dowry, didn't you refuse to agree? What the hell is the idea in your stomach?"
Tian Wang's family actually doesn't like his daughter-in-law very much. Although the Jiang family is docile on the surface, she is very scheming, silent, and sometimes you can't do anything about her. If the Jiang family made up any idea in her heart, that is, she and Old Man Tian came forward together, and they couldn't hold the Jiang family.
The eldest girl is fourteen today, and two years earlier, they found a mother-in-law for the eldest girl. The other party lives in a mountain hundred and eighty miles away from here, and lives a poor life. The man is twenty-five or sixteen, and the family has only saved a few taels of silver. They don't dislike the young girl, and they are willing to take out all the silver as a bride price, and don't pretend. After the bride price, I will marry the eldest girl back, and I don't have to do anything here.
At that time, she and Old Man Tian both felt that the eldest girl couldn't do any work if she ate at home for nothing, so she was going to agree. But the Jiang family was looking for death and life, and in the end, she was stunned that she had nothing to do with Old Man Tian, so she could only push the family affair.
Because of this matter, she and Old Man Tian were really annoyed by the Jiang family in their hearts. But apart from this incident, the Jiang family is obedient in other things, and they are also diligent and quick in their work, and they also serve their sons and grandsons comfortably.
For the sake of these benefits of the Jiang family, she and Old Man Tian tolerated her and her two girls. Of course, she and Old Man Tian also had other plans in their hearts.
Although the family is willing to give up all their money, the total amount of money is very limited. If it had been placed many years ago, they would not care what happened to the Jiang family, and they would definitely send the eldest girl over. But over the years, the Tian family often went to the house to get silver, and they also looked down on the few taels of silver given by the family in their selfish hearts.
They want to wait for another opportunity, for someone who can pay more bride price.
In short, this matter is in line with the Jiang family's wishes, and in the past two years, the Jiang family has lowered his eyebrows and is pleasing to the eyes, and he also knows it in his heart. Now that he suddenly heard that the Jiang family took the initiative to mention the eldest girl, Tian Wang's family suspected that the Jiang family had some idea in his heart.
Jiang is the kind of person who has a special idea, in the words of Old Man Tian, it is called a soft and adulterous heart: he doesn't say anything on the surface, he knows everything in his heart, and he doesn't hold back any good ideas in his heart.
In the face of Tian Wang's suspicious eyes, the Jiang family was still soft and supple. She was bought by the Tian family with a bride price, and she has been working as a cow and a horse in the Tian family over the years. As early as the moment she gave birth to her daughter, she made up her mind that no matter what, she would not let her daughter go down her old path. (To be continued.) )
