Chapter 57: Compromise
The reason why the Song family is so proud in front of people is that she wants people to see that she has a way of disciplining her daughter-in-law and has prestige in this homecoming, who knows that it will backfire
Seeing that more and more people were accusing her of not being Song's face, she couldn't hold it anymore
"This is my house's business, why do you outsiders interfere," Song's person is usually used to being domineering, if it is also her, she said that someone else has a son who is studying, and a daughter-in-law of a rich man's daughter, she usually walks sideways in the village
The village chief looked at this Song family's unrepentant look, and he was angry, panting: "We don't have a clan ancestral hall in Pingyao Village, but there is still me, the village chief, where is the stupid woman Mingzhongren, let him take a good look at what virtue his wife is."
"It should be coming soon, someone will shout," said a young man who was about the same age as He Laosan
"Village chief, did you call Uncle Ming Zhong back, is it useful, I remember that Uncle Ming Zhong is not good for the two of them, when we were working all the way last day, he revealed his dislike for the third daughter-in-law," The name of the speaker is Xianglan, the daughter-in-law of Uncle Jinshan, and the relationship between her and Hongmei is okay, and she has long heard Hongmei talk about the Mu Zhen family
The village chief thought about Xianglan's words, and felt that it was the same, but the Song family was a shrew, and it was not clear how much to reason with her, and the man was in charge
"Let's look at it first, see what he said when he came back," the village chief is also helpless for this family, that is, the pig's intestine that can't support the wall
The words of the village chief and Xianglan were not disguised, so the Song family naturally heard them clearly, but she didn't care about it, and snorted coldly: "I said that you people just eat too much, and you have nothing to do in the old lady's house, and you outsiders can interfere with jokes."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Zhen who was kneeling at the door and said, "You little cheap hooves will actually cause trouble for the old lady, see these people are gone, the old lady will not pull out your skin"
For the arrogant attitude of the Song family, although the village chief was annoyed, but he was also helpless, the people just said a few heavy words, what else could he do, he came to hope that the Song family could be soft, and in the future, he would not embarrass the third family
Mu Zhen looked at the words of the scoundrel of the Song family, and the angry village chief had nothing to say, and when he was thinking about how to deal with the Song family, He Mingzhong's voice came
"Why is it so lively in my house today, what are you doing?" the man who was still following He Fuzhu behind him
Today, after Duanyang, He Fuzhu's two babies were clamoring to eat artichokes, and He Mingzhong took them to the field to dig potatoes, and before the potatoes were dug up, someone rushed to call him and said that the village chief came to his house and asked him to go back
Ordinary people are in awe and fear of the person who wears a hat on the head of the official, even if it is a small village chief, and they are afraid that they have done something wrong
So He Mingzhong was worried all the way
"Dad, I beg you to let our family go, we are all going to starve to death, my godmother helped us with a little food, and asked my mother to take it in the morning, so how can our family live" Before others could answer He Mingzhong's words, Mu Zhen threw herself in front of He Mingzhong and cried
He Mingzhong's disgust with Mu Zhen's family was unwilling, and he couldn't be less than the Song family, and now he looked at this situation and reacted, and the people who surrounded him at the door were probably Mu Zhen's reasons
At the moment, he didn't want to kick at Mu Zhen, and cursed in his mouth: "You broom star, you have a good holiday, you don't let Lao Tzu Ansheng, so many people gather in front of Lao Tzu to watch jokes, you feel comfortable."
Mu Zhen was to arouse He Mingzhong's anger, but she didn't expect her to do anything else, and the old man came up with a kick
With such a close distance, I thought I couldn't avoid it, Mu Zhen closed her eyes in resignation, but she didn't expect that the pain didn't come, but she was included in a wide embrace
"Dad, my daughter-in-law's body is already weak, and the skull that I asked you to push some time ago hit a bag, and now it's okay, if you step down, my daughter-in-law may ask you to kick something out again," It was He Laosan who said this
He Laosan's temperament is not to say that Pingyao Village is the entire Shanghe Town, everyone has heard of it, and he really said nothing to this father
He Mingzhong was also a little confused by He Laosan's rebuttal, when did he dare to resist him, when did he dare to resist him, there were still these people standing around, if he didn't clean up these two people today, then he wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of his father and fellow villagers in the future
Thinking of it, the expression on He Mingzhong's face suddenly became vicious, and he raised the hoe in his hand and was about to greet He Laosan
As soon as He Mingzhong got angry, He Laosan's thinking and behavior were not under his control, so even if the hoe was about to fall on him, he just hugged Mu Zhen and didn't move
Mu Zhen's heart was almost frightened when she saw this scene, but He Laosan's strength was great, and she couldn't move in order to protect her and hold her in her arms
"He Mingzhong, stop it for me," the village chief saw that He Mingzhong was unreasonable, and he was about to greet He Laosan with a hoe, and he also made a big jump, and hurriedly caught it with one hand
Mu Zhen barely broke free from He Laosan's arms, looked at the stunned He Laosan with palpitations, and then kowtowed to the village chief with teary eyes: "Uncle Fu, you and everyone have also seen it, it's not that our family is unfilial and unreasonable, it's really my father and mother can't tolerate us, every family is a difficult scripture to read, and there will be bumps and bumps in anyone's life, but my father-in-law's posture is clearly trying to kill the two of us, we are all bullied like this, if my father and mother can't tolerate us, then it is better to divide the family."
When Song heard Mu Zhen say the word separation, he immediately jumped up from the door stool, crossed his waist, pointed at Mu Zhen and said: "Okay, I said that the third child has always been honest, how can you dare to talk to the old man today, it turns out that you are the most ghostly family behind you, and you think of the beauty."
Mu Zhen didn't plan to divide the family today, her main purpose was to test the attitude of the Song family, but she didn't expect the reaction to be so strong, it seemed that she would have to split up her family at that time
Suppressing the irritability in her heart, Mu Zhen pretended to be angry and looked at Song Shi and said: "Don't divide the family's food, don't give me a face, you have to take the food that you go to other people's houses to beg for, are you going to force our family to death?"
"I said, the third daughter-in-law, you don't say that the sin is not mine, this sister-in-law has a lot of mouth, I have seen you buy things in the town more than once, and I went to eat in the restaurant in the town a few days ago, not to mention that I am here, but we are reluctant to eat in the house a year, and I have seen you go in."
He Fuzhu looked at it, although his father and mother had been babbling, but he didn't take much advantage, but made many people who watched the drama say that the second elder was harsh to his later life
Mu Zhen listened to He Fuzhu's words, but she was not too afraid, "Sister-in-law, have you seen what I bought, do you know what I am doing when I go to Jinxiu Textile and Restaurant, you have to say this flower clearly, and tell others what to think."
In He Fuzhu's impression, Mu Zhen is a person who has no brains, why is her mind so meticulous today, even if she says what she does, she still doesn't change or be busy
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, He Fuzhu continued: "When I went to the embroidery building, I naturally bought cloth, and I must have eaten when I went to the restaurant, and that time I saw you go to the stall where you bought pork and bought a lot of pork."
Mu Zhen said unhurriedly: "That's really called the eldest sister-in-law, I said it wrong, I went to Jinxiufang to help my sister-in-law Hongmei bring a few purses to sell, we went to the restaurant, but that was because of one of my distant cousins who was on duty there, he said hello a long time ago, and said that he hadn't seen me for several years, and specially picked up the two of us to eat, as for buying meat, I bought it, and I bought it for more than a while, but what I bought, presumably my mother is also very clear."
Saying that, Mu Zhen took her sleeve and wiped her face fiercely, and said: "If you weren't forced to be in a hurry, you can't live your life, who will go back and eat that thing, you ask my mother, what I eat, you ask the people in the village, who in the village have eaten those things?"
He Fuzhu looked at Mu Zhen with some doubts, she was a little far away at the time, naturally she didn't see what Mu Zhen bought, and when she walked in, those things were packed in burlap bags, she only knew that there were a lot of things, and it cost a lot of money
But seeing Mu Zhen's expression didn't seem to be like this, she couldn't help but ask Song strangely for a while: "Mother, she went to the red case to buy some good things, and when she came back, she didn't be filial to you."
Song snorted and said disdainfully: "Those pig offal, disgusting to death, who eats those things, and the old lady who has a pair of pig bones to feed the dog, I will eat it."
Song was very proud, but he didn't want Mu Zhen to say: "Yes, what is given to the dog is not eaten by everyone, why is it that our family eats, if we don't have anything to eat, we will beg for those things to eat."
The village chief, Hongmei, and Jinshan couldn't help but laugh when they saw Mu Zhen's expression in this issue, and if they hadn't tasted the delicacies made by Mu Zhen in person, they might have really fooled Mu Zhen now
As soon as I heard that Mu Zhen ate pig offal and pig bones, those people who were deliberately called here were really unhappy for Mu Zhen's family
"What kind of wife is this, old man, husband, I think people are very good, and people are better to their subordinates than they are to their sons and daughters-in-law."
"It's just that you see which one of the food and housing in his house is not better than the people in the village, and now the people in the three rooms are going to eat those things that no one can eat, and they still have to grab that little bit of food, do they have a conscience?"
"It's just that sooner or later, there will be a thunderbolt for this kind of person."
Everyone, you and I said that the Song family is red-faced and red-eared
Mu Zhen took the opportunity to say: "Father, mother, if you really don't want to see our family, then let us divide it, otherwise we won't be able to live this life."
"Divide the family, you think of the beauty" This time, even He Mingzhong followed and laughed at He Laosan, but he was the main labor force in the house, if he was separated, his family would drink the northwest wind
Mu Zhen knew that they would not agree, and then said: "If you two elders don't agree, then forget it, but from now on, you are not allowed to move anything in my house, you are not allowed to turn over my things casually, you don't care about our food, forget the food of the two of us, no matter where you get it, you are not allowed to rob it from us again."
At the very least, make sure that your house is safe before you can make other plans
The two looked at Mu Zhen with an expression that didn't need to be negotiated, knowing that she was hard-hearted, and compared with the separation of the family, they naturally chose the second one
Besides, there are many villagers who are watching the excitement here, pointing fingers at their family, and if they don't even agree, it is estimated that they can drown with other people's spittle
In the end, the husband and wife, but the big guy, compromised to ensure that the family who went to the house would not take anything in Mu Zhen's house in the future
