Chapter 22: The War of the Mad Dogs

Sister Cao was burping, and when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and reprimanded, "What kind of tone are you, do you still want to drive me and my mother out?" This is our Cao family's business..."

"Shut up, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with the Cao family. If you don't get down to business, get out of here! Dong Rong stretched out her hand and lifted the small copper basin containing the porridge and slammed it on the stone table, and the loud noise frightened Sister Cao'er and shrunk her neck. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and hurriedly jumped to the side of the stupid pillar to pull the rescuer, "Zhuzi, you see that your daughter-in-law is going to kill me, why don't you hurry up and beat her!" ”

Silly Zhu shook off her arm in disgust, and said angrily, "She is my daughter-in-law, so I won't fight!" You ate my steamed buns, I'm going to beat you! ”

Sister Cao was annoyed and weak-hearted and defended, "You eat big fish and meat all day long, but I just ate two steamed buns, you are like this!" Wait for me to go back and tell my father! ”

Dong Rong was very happy when she heard that she was stupidly defending her, and stretched out her hand to pull him to stand aside, and then ignored Sister Cao, who was jumping up and down, and directly asked Mrs. Cao, who had never made a sound, "Say, what do you want?" ”

After all, Mrs. Cao has eaten salty salt for half her life, and she has a lot more eyes than Sister Cao. For a while, she was thinking in her heart, her daughter-in-law's attitude is so tough, I'm afraid she will never let this deal out lightly, and she should squeeze out some benefits first than to make trouble in the end. As long as she is still the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, there will always be a day when she will be able to obey her.

Thinking like this, she was not polite, and asked directly, "You gave so much food to the people in the village yesterday, why didn't you see half of it at home?" Seeing that the festival is coming, the family needs to add something to eat. You go to the street and buy 100 catties of japonica rice, 100 catties of fine noodles, 20 catties of pork, 5 catties of tea, 10 catties of lamp oil, 10 catties of salt..."

She counted down like this, and talked for half an hour, Sister Cao was afraid of leaving her family's share, so she was busy helping on the side, "Mother, there are muslin, candied fruit, and bud wine!" ”

The more Dong Rong listened, the darker her face became, and she couldn't help but sneer, this girl really robbed her as a rich man. If all these things are purchased, it will cost ten taels of silver, which is enough for a family of three to live for two years. It's a shame that they said it so justifiably, and they really took her hard-earned money as a wind.

She was just about to open her mouth to refuse, but someone outside the hospital was even more angry when she heard it, and she jumped to her feet and scolded, "Your Cao family is really poor, is this a door-to-door autumn breeze, or a robbery!" The business that our Dong family has taken over, why do you want to spend the money you have earned! ”

The two wooden doors in the small courtyard were really unlucky today, they were crumbling by Sister Cao before, and now they were kicked hard again and fell to the sides. The big-shouldered and round-waisted Niu Shi wore a vermilion dress and blew in like a gust of wind, and before everyone could react, she had already stretched out her carrot-like fingers and turned to Dong Ping and scolded, "You conscienceless little cub, you don't sue the family for such a profitable business, but let outsiders take advantage of it." If it hadn't been for the villagers, I would have been kept in the dark. ”

Dong Ping was shocked and angry when he was scolded, and retorted, "Although my sister is married, she is not an outsider. Besides, there is no money at home and we can't pay the bundles, so what's wrong with us trying to figure out our own way? ”

"Hey, little cub, you still dare to contradict your elders, your sage books are all read on the belly of a dog!" Niu's hands pinched his waist, and his voice became sharper and sharper, "It's useless to say anything else today, you either hand over the money you have earned over these days, or hand over this business to me, and I will find someone to take care of it..."

Originally, because Dong Rong was not as well-behaved and weak as Niu's praise, Mrs. Cao felt that she had fallen for a big deal if she spent a lot of money to marry back, and she was always angry with her mother-in-law. At this time, she was first ridiculed and ridiculed, and then saw that her family's business was about to be robbed, how could she not say anything?

"Mother-in-law, what you said is not right. Although this transaction was brought back by Brother Ping, it was my son and daughter-in-law who worked hard! It's just that I made money, and I am in charge of it. The water spilled by the married daughter, I have never heard of the mother's family still mixing with the daughter's family affairs! ”

Niu sneered, glared and scolded, "You are a peasant woman, there are many things you haven't heard of..."

The two of them came and went like this, but the anger in Dong Rong's heart over there was really uncontrollable. This ice sale business is something she has set up little by little, these two people have not exerted a little strength, why did they come to snatch the fruits of victory so righteously. Is she really muddy, too easy to bully?

She turned her head around and planned to find a broom to beat the two cheeky old women out. But then she thought about it, since the two of them were so scrappy, why didn't she come to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

Thinking of this, she put away her anger and changed it to a pitiful and embarrassed look, and whispered to Cao Pozi to persuade her, "Mother, my second mother is right, this is a deal taken by Brother Ping, and our Cao family really shouldn't interfere." I'll give her the ten taels of silver I earned before, and then let's go home together..."After saying this, she pretended to wipe two more handfuls of tears and sighed, "I originally planned to earn money and be filial to my father, but now it seems that it is not possible." ”

When Mrs. Cao heard that her son and daughter-in-law had earned ten taels of silver in just one month, her eyes were about to burst into flames. Hearing that the silver was going to be handed over to the Niu family, the fire instantly rushed to the top of his head. As soon as she raised her foot, she jumped on the stone bench, pinched her waist and pointed at Niu's and scolded.

"You fat woman who killed a thousand knives, why should my son and daughter-in-law give you the money they earned. I see that you have eaten too much lard and confused, you hurry up and get out of here, slow down and be careful that I discount your legs! ”

Niu Shi originally heard that Dong Rong was going to hand over the money, and couldn't help but smile proudly, she didn't want Mrs. Cao to intervene so sideways, she was also annoyed, and she didn't even care about wiping the spit off her face, she reached out and grabbed Mrs. Cao's skirt and ripped her off, "Old shrew, who do you let go, see me tear your mouth first!" ”

Mrs. Cao fell, and when she was in pain, she pulled her neck and shouted, "Eldest sister, Zhuzi, I'm going to be killed, you are all blind, and you won't come to help!" ”

Sister Cao had already rolled up her sleeves, and as soon as she heard the old lady shouting like this, she immediately stepped forward and pulled Niu Shi and tore it up. This mother and daughter are also good at fighting in the village on weekdays, and with the nature of mother and daughter, this one reaches out to pull her hair, and the other slaps it, which is really tacit cooperation.

Although Niu's has a big waist and a round waist, he usually holds his own status as a Xiucai lady, and he is very disdainful of such a barbaric sport, so he suffered a loss at this time. The waist was just pinched hot, and in the next moment, a lot of hair fell out, and she hated her so much that she scolded Dong Rong's sister and brother like a pig, "You two are dead people, if you don't come to pull them away, I'm going to be killed!" ”

Dong Rong saw the three of them rolling together, their hair was scattered, their clothes were ragged like beggars, and she was so suffocated that her intestines were about to twist. Not to mention stepping forward to pull the frame, she didn't find a few more bricks and handed them over, which would be kind.

But Dong Ping is a polite and kind child, even if he has been treated harshly by the Niu family since he was a child, he feels bad at this time to watch his stepmother being beaten, so he persuaded his sister in a low voice, "Sister, let's pull them away." ”

Dong Rong motioned to his younger brother not to worry, and then pretended to step forward and half-push and half-help Cao Pozi and persuade, "Mother, where did you fall?" Stop fighting. ”

As soon as she stretched out her hand to "help", Cao Pozi's hands and feet were restrained, and the Niu family immediately gained the upper hand and raised her hand to reward Cao Pozi's two dark circles. Without waiting for Mrs. Cao to shout in pain, Dong Rong hugged Niu Shi in a "panic" and persuaded, "Mother, stop it, my father knows it's time to get angry." ”

Niu struggled to get rid of Dong Rong and scolded, "Don't stop me, I have to teach her a lesson today." ”

Sister Cao saw on the side that this gap could not be delayed, and immediately returned two "heavenly cannons" for her mother!

In this way, Dong Rong was busy between the two parties, and from time to time she had to call Dong Ping for help, and before she knew it, the battle group actually moved outside through the courtyard gate.

Today's weather is fine, and seeing that it is about to reach the Dragon Boat Festival, some farmers in Shili and Eight Villages picked their own cherries and apricots and carried them into the city to exchange for some rice and flour sundries, and some took on the small green vegetables they grew to sell. When I happened to pass by this place, I saw someone fighting, so everyone came over to see the excitement.

A person from Huaishu Village was surprised, "Isn't this the lady of Mr. Dong's family, why did you come here to fight?" Don't be ashamed of the readers? ”

The villagers in Yimianpo Village also discussed, "Oh, these two girls belong to the Cao family." Aren't they and the Dong family in-laws, what happened? ”

When Dong Ping heard this, his face flushed with shame. He had the heart to step forward to explain a few words, but he didn't want Dong Rong to reach out and pull him back into the courtyard three or two steps, and then with a bang, the gate was closed, the door latch fell, and the small courtyard was finally quiet.

Dong Ping looked at his sister and asked in a daze, "Sister, sister, you are..."

Dong Rong smiled, reached out and patted his younger brother's shoulder and taught seriously, "Brother, you must remember in the future that the way to deal with a mad dog is to pick up a stick and hit it until it is afraid, and it is easier to deal with two mad dogs, throw a piece of meat and bones, and let them compete and bite each other!" Got it? ”

Dong Ping nodded subconsciously, and finally remembered that Fang Cai's stepmother and the Cao family's mother were so disheveled, it was really no different from a mad dog, so he couldn't help but want to laugh.

And the stupid pillar who was leaning on the door of the stove and looked at all the qiē in his eyes, his shoulders were shaking with laughter at this time. Mad dog, his little daughter-in-law is really a good mouth, but this is very reasonable.

"Laugh if you want to, don't hold back internal injuries." Dong Rong pinched his younger brother who was holding back his smile and his face turned red, and finally shouted at the courtyard, "Zhuzi, where are you running lazy, hurry up and help!" If you don't do business, you won't have the money to buy candy to eat. ”

"Hey, here we are." Silly Zhu smiled, changed into a simple appearance and walked out of the stove. Dong Rong went to the backyard while pulling the pillar while chattering about how much work there was today, and Dong Ping rubbed his sour cheeks and followed.
