Chapter Seventy-Two: Mother and Daughter
Hu Juan rested, and when he went to the old lady, the two mothers and daughters talked about themselves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old lady looked at her spirit and asked, "What are your plans to come back this time?" ”
"Mother, aren't you going to celebrate your birthday? I'll stay here and I'll go back after your birthday. ”
"Nonsense, you are the wife of the Zhang family, how can you celebrate the New Year in your mother's house? Your mother-in-law doesn't talk about you? The clan doesn't talk about you? There is no such reason at all, and others will laugh at it if you say it! The old lady looked at her current expression, and wondered if she had suffered any grievances in her husband's house, so she couldn't help but ask again: "Is there something wrong with you over there?" ”
Hu Juan's expression was gloomy, and his mouth was still tough, "Where else can there be anything, it's just that I haven't been here for too long, Yuyuan Yuchuan has never been to my grandfather's house, so I want to bring them over, and there is nothing to do at home." ”
The old lady was so angry that she hit her, "What can't you say to your mother, your temperament has been strong since you were a child, should you be so strong in front of your mother?" Did the Zhang family do something sorry for you? ”
Hu Juan turned his face and exhaled lightly after a while, "You know, my mother-in-law has never liked me very much, and it's not the same thing between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." ”
"And why are you doing this time?"
"I've been giving birth to Brother Sichuan for seven or eight years, and my stomach hasn't moved, and my mother-in-law thinks that a brother in the family is too thin, so she wants to take a concubine for my lord." Speaking of the back, Hu Juan sneered, "Why did he take a concubine, all the expenses in the family are my dowry, and I was blocked by spending my money, is there any reason for this?" ”
Hu Juan has always been strong, this husband was chosen by herself, and now she is not doing well, and she doesn't want others to know at all.
I laughed at the sisters who married into the merchant family before, and now they are better than themselves, although their husbands still have the phenomenon of taking concubines, but at least they are not as shameless as her husband's family, this head spent her money turned her face to show a disdainful look, what to say that the scholar should not take money too seriously, these are all blockages, they are all copper smells!
It's not like her, obviously she has the money to hire people, but her mother-in-law said that it was too extravagant and wasteful, and ordered her to cook and cook, and also asked her to sew clothes. She is a wealthy lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers! These are the things that the maid's subordinates do, why are they spread on her head?
Hu Juan has fought back, but after all, she can't fight her mother-in-law, and her husband is also facing her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law's words want to bring her and her children to her to raise her, Hu Juan has no choice.
She didn't tell her family about these grievances, but she was so disobedient to marry this husband that she made her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law angry, and now where does she dare to let them know? What's more, if Hu Xiu in the capital knows, then she won't laugh to death? And the concubines who have been oppressed by her before! One by one, they are waiting for her joke!
She can endure all of the above, but she can't bear her husband's concubine, when she first went to this husband, not only did she fancy his talent, but also his appearance, although she had a red face for more than ten years of marriage, but their relationship was still there, and in the first few years, they were like ordinary couples.
So she didn't agree to this concubine, and she still used her money to pay, the Zhang family Zixiang is a scholar, not good at housework, to put it bluntly, there is no money in the family at all, and usually lives on a few acres of land in the countryside to rent and collect rent.
So to sum up the above two factors, Hu Juan plans to go back to his parents' house to express his opposition and give the Zhang family a little color to see.
"And such a thing? This Zhang family is too unusual? Mrs. Hu immediately caught the message in her daughter's words, "Did the expenses in the Zhang family also embezzle your dowry?" ”
Hu Juan acquiesced.
Mrs. Hu was so angry that she slapped her palm on the table, "Tell me, tell me, what does my mother want to say about you?" Even the married daughters of small families and ordinary people know that they protect their dowry, and their mothers have taught you in vain before, right? ”
Hu Juan's face was hot, she regretted it now, she used to value her husband too much, she always thought that he could be promising, and he would enter the court as an official, and she would also be a wife with her husband's fate, everything was based on him, his dowry had supported the Zhang family for more than ten years, and gradually some couldn't hold it anymore, but the expenses in the family were close to him, as always, nothing had changed, and he would rather save money.
I didn't expect him to have no interest at all, he turned out to be a little teacher, she had no hope for everything she thought about before, and now her mother-in-law said that she was going to give him a concubine, he didn't have any opinion at all, but persuaded herself to be generous, she was really cold, and her heart hurt a lot!
"Did you get your head caught in the door?" The more Mrs. Hu thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but scold her, "You didn't even tell me until now!" Are you dead? Can't your mother's family support you? ”
Hu Juan covered his face.
The old lady looked at her like this, and she was distressed, "Now that you turn the corner, it's not too late, it should be like this, bring your pair of children back to their parents' house, let them go in a hurry, really when there is no one in our Hu family, your second brother is a jinshi!" ”
"Speaking of which, your two sisters are in this situation, it's just that your sister is smarter than you, she will tell her mother everything, although she spent a lot of dowry when she got married, but she never used her dowry to support the people of the He family in vain, and everything she did had its own benefits......"
Hu Juan interrupted her, "Who doesn't know that she is well married!" Of course she's good, her current good is all made with her mother's money! "Originally, she married such a family!
Old Lady Hu frowned, "Juan Niang, that's your sister!" ”
"What about my sister? Can a sister rob her sister's husband? If she hadn't robbed me of my marriage, would I be sad to be like this now? Hu Juan looked excited.
"Juan Niang!" Mrs. Hu was so angry that her voice trembled, "It's been so many years!" Are you still attached to this? So who did she rob? This is my father's decision, do you hate my father and mother now? ”
Hu Juan turned his face away.
Mrs. Hu covered her chest, this daughter really hated herself.
"I'm doing evil!" The old lady patted her thigh.
After all, Hu Juan felt that he couldn't offend his mother too much, so he turned his face and paused, "Mother...... I'm just sad ......."
After her youngest daughter left, Mrs. Hu felt powerless for a while.
Then I received a reply from my eldest daughter, and my heart sank.
The eldest daughter not only refused her request, but also complained about herself.
What kind of iniquity have you created?
