"Why are you so anxious, listen to me slowly," Li glared at his daughter disapprovingly, and said: "At noon, Yang'er came to bring me food, but I forgot to bring chopsticks, so I went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, I didn't think that your grandmother and your fourth aunt were in the kitchen, I just wanted to raise my feet to go in, and I heard them say about your father's illness." ”

Tang Qing'er looked like gossip, and hurriedly said, "What did my mother overhear?" ”

Li Shi glared at her daughter again, what she said was so ugly, where did she eavesdrop, she just accidentally heard it, pulled her ear and said, "You just misinterpret what I mean!" ”

"Mother, I was wrong, I got married, and you still treat me like this in front of Xue Qianxun, isn't this to increase the morale of others and destroy the prestige of your daughter?" After Tang Qing'er finished speaking pitifully, she said again: "Just tell me!" You don't say that I'm itching in my heart. She really wanted to know what Zhang and Huang had said.

Li slowly opened his mouth and told Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun about the matter.

Huang said to Zhang: "Mother, my father is like this now, if the eldest brother knows that we are angry with him like this, he doesn't have to fight with us,"

Zhang snorted: "What are you afraid of!" The old man didn't even say this in front of the eldest and second child, he just didn't want them to know? Now that we have such a bad relationship with the old people, how can the old man tell them about this. ”

"Yes...... But I'm still scared...... Mother,"

"What are you afraid of, if you don't say it, I won't say it, if the old man doesn't say it, who can know?"

"Mother, in case my father is confused for a while, tell the eldest brother that it is because we want to go to the field he shared when he wants to divide the family, and the father has raised him for so many years, is the silver he should be filial to be calculated clearly, and give it to us directly, so that when the father is old, he will not pay a penny, so let the head of the family and the third brother take care of our father."

"Why not, he married a daughter-in-law with the money given by the old man, if not, would he be able to marry a daughter-in-law? Ungrateful things, conscience has been eaten by dogs, isn't it that life is better, and you are too lazy to take care of our poor relatives," he said and couldn't help but scold people bitterly.

"Mother, we didn't say anything at the time? How could Dad be angry like this? Huang is now pregnant, touching his stomach with his hand from time to time.

"Who knew that the old thing couldn't help but be angry," mentioning this, Zhang still couldn't hold back a few tears, don't look at her and the old man on weekdays, but the two still have feelings, who would have expected that this time the old man would vomit blood angrily.

Zhang really didn't expect the old man to vomit blood all of a sudden, and gasped for breath to ask her not to trouble the old family, Zhang hated it even more, at this time, he was still thinking about the old family, and he didn't take her and the baby she gave birth to to to all of them to heart.

Huang said: "Mother, if only we had gone to the town earlier to ask for a doctor for my father." ”

Zhang shed a few tears and said: "I didn't expect it, after the old man fainted, didn't we hurriedly ask the fourth child to go to the village to invite the barefoot doctor, he said that the old man was so angry that he vomited blood,"

Huang thought of the baby in his belly, wanted to accumulate some yin virtue for the baby, and said: "Mother, otherwise let's tell the eldest brother the truth of the matter!" Maybe they can forgive us. ”

After listening to the words of the fourth daughter-in-law, Zhang turned his head out to see if anyone was eavesdropping on them, Li took the opportunity to quickly hide, not letting them find out, and when Zhang turned his head to look directly at the fourth daughter-in-law, he said angrily: "Are you stupid, can you say this?" ”

"Mother......

"In the past few days, I will cry in front of the old man, and tell them all the hard work of how to pull the eldest and second child over the years, all in front of them, the old man is dying, if they don't plan to take care of me or give me some pension money when he is dying, I will not stop saying anything."

Huang stumbled and said, "Mother, this ...... It's not ...... All right! ”

Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then looked at her stomach and said: "If you get a man in one fell swoop, I will definitely serve you until the full moon, if it is a female baby, hum!" Provoke the old lady, I let the fourth child take a break from you. ”

With a bang, the basin in Huang's hand fell, and she said with a pale face: "Mother, I listen to you all, you can do whatever you say." ”

"Really? Then I'll tell you, the old man's illness is angry with the old man, and it has nothing to do with us, so I will let the old man blame himself, once he blames himself, it will not be easy to pinch him in the future. Zhang was calculating, and there was a thief smile on his face.

"Mother, I see."

"And you say hello to the fourth child about this, and he has to tell the boss everything about the fool like a fool."

Huang replied in a low voice.

After listening to what her mother said, Tang Qing'er could imagine that the Zhang family should have planned to take some benefits from her father at that time, but she didn't plan to be heard by her father, her father said that she didn't agree to anything, and the Zhang family had to make trouble.

Li Shi said: "I listened to it outside really well, I hated it so much that I gritted my teeth, where is there a more shameless person than her, when I and your father went to see your father the day before, our crying eyes were red, she also pointed at us and scolded us, we were at a loss, we could only listen on our knees, and we didn't dare to refute a word." ”

Tang Qing'er said: "Mother, after you heard it, why didn't you make it clear to them face to face." ”

Li sighed: "They won't admit it, you haven't seen your grandmother holding your grandfather's hand and crying tears, if you don't know the truth, we really think that she is reluctant to let your grandfather leave, and has a deep relationship with your grandfather, but after her plan is known to me, I have the right to watch the play, just wait for the day she provokes trouble." ”

"Mother, you're right." Tang Qing'er actually wanted to say, mother, you are becoming more and more scheming.

Li Shi said again: "Your father never told us why he was so sick, and your father, second uncle and aunt and I were all waiting for the day when the Zhang family provoked trouble, so we took the opportunity to see your father's attitude." ”

"Mother, in fact, you don't have to wait for that day, grandpa hasn't mentioned this since he saw you and dad, either because he wants to reconcile you with the people in the main room when he is dying, or he is afraid that after dad finds out, he will fight with the fourth uncle and them, which will make the relationship between the brothers even worse." However, she prefers the former, because in her father's eyes, the third uncle and the fourth uncle are weak, and her father and mother should take care of them.

At this time, Tang Tiexiong interjected: "Do you say that the Zhang family is still human?" After doing these immoral things, she was embarrassed to cry in front of us, did she expect our father to die sooner, and when she made the matter clear, we confronted her, and let the men, women and children in the village give us a review, which is right and wrong. ”

Sun pulled his sleeve and said, "Why are you also coaxing, now the eldest brother is uncomfortable?" Big brother didn't say anything, you turned out to be white-faced,"

Tang Tiezhu said lightly: "Even if you know, what can you do, our father won't have a few days to live, just let him go with peace of mind!" Don't make any more fuss. ”

Tang Tiexiong said angrily: "That's what we think, can the Zhang family agree?" She always thought that we didn't know the reason why my father was seriously ill, so she dared to act one false play after another in front of us. Seeing that the eldest brother still didn't squeak and didn't know how to breathe, he continued: "If Dad asks us to reconcile with the main room before he dies, will you agree?" ”

The second child asked what Li was thinking, she turned her eyes to the master, to see how he answered, not only Li in the room, everyone looked at Tang Tiezhu, under the expectation of everyone, he said: "Since it has been broken, what is the need to connect it." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, afraid that Tang Tiezhu would agree to Old Tang's last words and reconcile with the main house.

Xue Qianxun sat on the stool and didn't speak, no matter how he said that he was a foreigner, it was not appropriate to meddle in the affairs of the Tang family, he could only give some advice at the right time, but he couldn't reach out to help directly, and Qing'er was different, although she married herself and became the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, she was still the daughter of the Tang family, and she could both meddle and intervene in the affairs of the Tang family.

Tang Qing'er said: "Dad, if you think so, it's good, some people have some things, it may not be bad if it is broken, if grandpa is dying, he is still eccentric, don't care too much, you said before, after severing the relationship, only when grandpa dies, you will bring the whole family to the main house to put on linen and filial piety for grandpa, although it is different from what you said at the time, but as long as the result is the same as before." She was reminding her father not to forget her original intention because of her grandfather's last words.

Tang Tiezhu nodded, waved his hand again, and said, "Second brother, you are also tired for a day, go home!" Qing'er and Xun'er have been on their way back in the past two days, and the road has been bumpy, so you should rest early! After speaking, he didn't wait for others to speak, turned around and went back to the house by himself, everyone looked at each other, guessed that he was in a low mood, and could only take the babies home.

Tang Qing'er took the wooden basin and went outside to fetch some well water and came back, and after returning to the house, let Xue Qianxun wash, and when he cleaned up and went to the kang, Tang Qing'er poured out the water, went outside to wash again, and then went back to the house to go to the kang, the two of them lay in a quilt, Tang Qing'er said: "It's really time, it's really cold to wash your face with cold water at this time,"

Because Xue Qianxun went to the kang and entered the quilt earlier than Qing'er, his hands were always very hot, so he took Tang Qing'er's hand to warm her and said, "I'll cover it for you." ”

"En," turned his body and looked at him face to face, Xue Qianxun's hands in the nest held Qing'er's little hand tightly, and Qing'er said in a low voice: "Will you laugh at the fact that there are such ruthless people in my family." She was referring to Zhang.

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "I have seen people who are more vicious than her, and the Zhang family is quite a little bit of a witch, a little greedy, not worth mentioning,"

Tang Qing'er said again: "I don't know what I think, I hate my grandfather for always thinking about the main house and hate his ruthlessness to my father. ”

Xue Qianxun said slowly: "Although the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, but the ten fingers are still long, that is, grandpa treats his father and uncles differently, grandpa sees that our dad is living a good life, so he wants to let a few uncles be the same as our dad, but the things that can be done are always counterproductive, one is that the uncles are not angry, they are not self-motivated, they are lazy to eat, and they are stealing and playing tricks, and the second is that grandpa always uses our father's soft-heartedness to make what he thinks, so that the uncles do not know how to improve, and the third is the most important point, our father's heart is too soft, made grandpa think that as long as he opened his mouth, our father could help him do it. ”

Tang Qing'er sighed and said, "Can't I think of what you said?" In the past, the main house people had something to ask for their father, as long as they could do it, their father was able to help them succeed with a lot of effort, but when they arrived at Zhang's, they were scolded indiscriminately, and then fortunately you gave an idea, and finally broke off relations with them, but they still did not give up, and always tried any way to toss their own family, and now grandpa is really sick and dying, and I don't know what his last words will be to explain to our father when he is dying. ”

"Okay, don't think about it, Dad didn't say it in the end, don't worry, Dad won't agree." Xue Qianxun stretched out a hand and patted Tang Qing'er on the back.

Tang Qing'er closed her eyes and whispered, "I hope!" Who could have predicted what the end would be.
