Chapter 19
When the sky was bright, Shen Zhuo stood up, yesterday he burned in the middle of the night, at this time his eyes were black, usually at this hour, Gu Sanniang was going to work in Xiuzhuang, Shen Zhuo was only afraid that he would miss her, so he endured the discomfort, simply freshened up, and then opened the door and walked to the opposite side.
Who knew that at this time, Gu Sanniang didn't go to the embroidery village, the north wind blew all night last night, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground, Gu Sanniang squatted under the porch Huo Huo sharpened the kitchen knife, when she saw Shen Zhuo coming, she just looked up at him coldly, and then sharpened the knife with a calm face.
Shen Zhuo was ashamed, he stood in front of Gu Sanniang, solemnly apologized and said: "Gu Niangzi, I was reckless yesterday, and I hope you will relax a lot, forgive me for this!" ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Gu Sanniang, Gu Sanniang did not avoid it, but still had a cold face, and replied with a hard mouth: "Don't dare to be, you are a famous man, I am a widow who has a new widow, I am afraid that saying a word to Shen Juren will damage your reputation as a man, from now on, our two families are still far away." ”
Her words with guns and sticks made Shen Zhuo's face flush with shame, Gu Sanniang didn't look at him, just buried herself in sharpening the kitchen knife in her hand, at this time, Zhu Xiaoyue came out of the main house, she saw Shen Zhuo standing in front of Gu Sanniang like a wooden man, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "In this cold wind and snow, what kind of play are you singing, but I am a little confused." ”
Zhu Xiaoyue asked like this, but she was actually full of doubts, in the middle of the night last night, she vaguely heard the sound of talking in the courtyard, and when she looked at these two people today, one was full of shame, and the other was full of anger in her eyebrows, and she knew what was hidden at a glance.
Gu Sanniang's knife edge had been sharpened to snow white, she looked at it expressionlessly, and then wiped the water droplets on her apron, and then spat at Zhu Xiaoyue, and said: "You are everywhere, it has been bright for most of the day, and the well water has not been picked up yet, you are waiting for Aunt Qin to pick it up herself!" ”
After that, before Zhu Xiaoyue could answer, Gu Sanniang had already entered the back room with a kitchen knife, and Shen Zhuo deliberately got up early in the morning to compensate her, and Gu Sanniang didn't say anything, but it made her even more disgusted with him.
Zhu Xiaoyue asked inexplicably: "What's wrong with Sanniang, who provoked her?" ”
Shen Zhuo stood in the middle of the courtyard with a pale face, and Zhu Xiaoyue looked at his frowning, so he shook his head and carried the wooden bucket to carry the water.
Let's say that Shen Zhuo stood at the door of the East Chamber, he kept looking at the West Chamber, but Gu Sanniang's figure never appeared again, I don't know how long later, Aunt Qin came out, she saw Shen Zhuo full of worries, and heard her daughter-in-law talk about the morning, so she asked: "Shen Juren, what's wrong with you and Sanniang, didn't you have a quarrel?" ”
If you want to say that the two of them will have a dispute, Aunt Qin doesn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, Shen Zhuo has been here for less than half a year, but he is humble and polite, and he is kind to everyone, as for Gu Sanniang, it is needless to say, she has lived in their house for six or seven years, and there has never been a place to provoke people when she talks and acts, although the identities of these two people are a little embarrassing, but they are both good people who keep manners, and the children in their respective families often play together, so Aunt Qin heard her daughter-in-law say that Gu Sanniang shook her face at Shen Zhuo, and she was also puzzled in her heart.
Shen Zhuo remembered that Gu Sanniang didn't have any relatives in the county, but she was very close to the Qin family, and she had always respected Aunt Qin very much, so she invited Aunt Qin into the house and told her what happened yesterday in detail.
When Aunt Qin heard the truth, she was so angry that she scolded Wang Jinsuo and his wife, she said: "You have wronged Sanniang, those two are his uncles and concubines, but you don't know the inside story, Sanniang's man was not cold that day, and her husband's family was going to take away her property, and also drove their orphans and widows out of the house, otherwise she would not take Xiaoyezi to beg for a life in the county." ”
Shen Zhuo regretted it in his heart, blaming himself for losing his mind for a while, and saying such hurtful words to Gu Sanniang, Gu Sanniang poured a basin of cold water on his head It was already cheap for him.
Aunt Qin sighed when she saw Shen Zhuo's annoyed expression, she said: "You are doing a bad thing with good intentions, her eldest uncle came to her, thinking that it was to make money with her, but Sanniang is not a person who kneaded dough, and her eldest uncle can't be begged in her hands." ”
Shen Zhuo lowered his head, and he said: "I also know that I have offended Gu Niangzi, and now she is angry with me, which is also what I asked for, but I also asked Aunt Qin to say a few good words for me, please don't seriously annoy me, if she is really angry, just scold me." ”
Aunt Qin nodded, after all, she lives in a courtyard, and she doesn't see anyone who looks down every day, if she is always so embarrassed or embarrassed, they will not be comfortable with others.
"Don't worry, don't look at Sanniang as a stubborn temper, in fact, the heart is the softest, when she is angry, you have to make a compensatory deal with her, presumably this matter will be revealed." Aunt Qin said.
Seeing this, Shen Zhuo thanked Aunt Qin, and at this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door from outside, Zhu Xiaoyue was washing rice in the yard, she heard the sound of knocking on the door quickly and urgently, so she trotted to open the door, and complained in her mouth: "Who is this, they are about to tear down the courtyard gate of my house." ”
Immediately, there was a dispute between Zhu Xiaoyue and others: "Who are you looking for, it's like raiding your house early in the morning, if you are so unreasonable, don't blame me for driving you out with a big stick." ”
Shen Zhuo and Aunt Qin heard the movement outside, and the two of them stood up, and they hurriedly walked out of the east chamber, just in time to see a quarrel at the door.
At this time, Gu Sanniang also came out of the West Chamber, she was holding a broom in her hand, Xiao Yezi followed behind her, when she saw Wang Jinsuo and his wife crowded at the courtyard gate, Gu Sanniang didn't say a word, she stepped forward quickly, waved the broom in her hand, and slashed at Wang Jinsuo's two mouths.
In the past few years, Gu Sanniang has rarely done farm work anymore, even if she has been pinching embroidery needles for many years, the strength she has practiced since she was a child is still there, this Wang Jinsuo and Wang Jinsuo's family were caught off guard, plus the two of them are full of hungry meals these days, and then only the part left is to be beaten.
The movement here soon attracted the neighbors to see, Wang Jinsuo and his wife avoided the broom, and scolded Gu Sanniang in their mouths, Gu Sanniang saw the two people rolling on the ground, new hatred and old hatred surged into her heart, and the broom in her hand also waved more and more vigorously, and finally until she finished her whole strength, Wang Jinsuo took the opportunity to snatch the broom in her hand, and she stopped.
Wang Jinsuo was furious and said, "Gu Shi, if you spill again, don't blame me for not being merciful. ”
Gu Sanniang panted and pointed at Wang Jinsuo and scolded: "Wang Jinsuo, you ruined the reputation of the old lady behind your back, and the old lady was the blood mold that poured eight lifetimes before marrying into your Wang family!" ”
"If you say such a thing, aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue? If it weren't for our royal family buying you back, I don't know which prostitute you were sold to! Wang Jinsuo scolded her.
"Bullshit, if I had known that your whole family would have such a vicious heart, I would have been killed by a headlong collision, and I would never enter the gate of your Wang family!"
The two sides scolded each other back and forth, and seeing that more and more people were coming around, Wang Jinsuo's voice was raised high, and she said: "Gu Sanniang, you are a little prostitute, you killed your own man, and you don't abide by women's morals to steal men. ”
In fact, Wang Jinsuo and the two of them had already come over, the two of them stayed outside, and they didn't see Gu Sanniang for a long time, only when they saw Qin Lin go out with their own eyes, they dared to come to the door to make trouble, and Gu Sanniang deliberately stopped working for a day, just to cure Wang Jinsuo, this time they finally came, if they didn't come again, she planned to look for it.
"Old shrew, you ruined my name, today you are either dead or I live!" Saying that, Gu Sanniang stepped forward, she slapped Wang Jinsuo's family twice, and Wang Jinsuo's family first shook it, and then grabbed Gu Sanniang's hair not to be outdone, and the two women rolled together in the snow. Shen Zhuo, who was driven out, was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
The fight in the woman's family is nothing more than biting or grabbing, that Wang Jinsuo's family first slapped Gu Sanniang a few times, and then relied on his strong body, turned over and pressed Gu Sanniang to the ground, Xiao Yezi saw that her mother was going to suffer, and was about to step forward to help, Zhu Xiaoyue grabbed her and said, "Yezi, don't go!" ”
Xiao Yezi struggled desperately, she cried: "They are bullying my mother again!" ”
"Obedient!" There is no reason for two women to fight, even the Wang Jinsuo can only watch from the sidelines, Xiao Yezi has not raised the broom high, and he can't help Gu Sanniang at all, but if Gu Sanniang loses, they will naturally help the fight.
Wang Jinsuo's family rode on Gu Sanniang's body, scratched a few blood marks on her face, Gu Sanniang was pressed and almost out of breath, she simply used her own head to hit Wang Jinsuo's face, that Wang Jinsuo's family was not vigilant, and was knocked into tears, Gu Sanniang got up from the ground, she grabbed the back of Wang Jinsuo's clothes, and dragged her to the well at the mouth of the alley, and said: "Hengzhi old lady was forced to live by your Wang family, today we simply went to die together, and waited until we got to the underworld, Let my dead man see how his own brother forced his mother to death. ”
Gu Sanniang's face was fierce and ruthless, as if she really wanted to drag Wang Jinsuo's family to seek death, that Wang Jinsuo's family struggled to the death, just because the snow was slippery on the ground, and she was about to reach the well at the mouth of the alley a few steps, she was so frightened that she yelled, Wang Jinsuo saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to beat Gu Sanniang, and when he was about to slap Gu Sanniang's face, he didn't want to be pulled by someone.
When he looked back, he saw that the person who stopped him was the poor man who raised him yesterday.
