Chapter 55: The Stepmother is coming
Sang Yu touched the little heads of the two children, and asked with a smile, "Liansheng, Junsheng, is it delicious?" ”
He Liansheng still had meat wrapped in his small mouth, and when he heard Sang Yu ask him, he raised his little head and nodded as if a chicken pecked rice, "It's delicious, well, it's delicious." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Then He Junsheng also nodded.
When Jiang saw this scene, he felt sad and guilty in his heart.
While the two little guys were eating, Jiang put the rabbit meat in the pot and put it in a big basin, which was still the dowry given by his mother's family when Jiang got married, which was only a little smaller than the wooden basin for washing his face, but it was made of porcelain. When the family was first separated, the wife Lai Shi who married the old man He wanted to leave the porcelain basin, although she secretly said that she wanted the basin, but there was no mother-in-law who took the dowry of her daughter-in-law, besides, she was still a stepmother, and instigated the old man to divide the eldest son of He Da, who was righteous, and put herself on the cusp of the storm, and how many eyes in the village looked at it. If the Jiang family doesn't give it, she can't force it.
Therefore, this pot was finally brought out by the Jiang family.
It's just that the family doesn't need such a big basin for cooking on weekdays, and it is generally enough to use plates, so this basin has always been placed under the cabinet, and there is a lot of dust in it.
Jiang also wants to cook a soup, and if he is tired of eating meat, it is good to have a mouthful of soup to drink. It's just that she never thought about it, where can she get tired of eating, their family hasn't bought meat for half a year, and the last time they ate meat, it was still brought by Sang Yu, and that time, Sang Yu also had a fight with the Wang family.
Jiang's soup is a green vegetable soup, a very ordinary soup. Sang Yu had already gone out with the two children, and there were already several dishes on the table, and Jiang put the rabbit meat in the middle, which looked very good. Then he shouted that it was time to eat.
The sun had already set, and it was cooling down at the moment, and there was still a majestic wind blowing outside, He Da and Lin Dashan were talking in the courtyard. Hearing Jiang's voice, the two came in.
Sang Yu had already set the dishes and chopsticks, and everyone sat around the table. He Junsheng and He Liansheng had to sit next to Sang Yu, and Sang Yu sat in the middle, and one person on both sides sat one. The Jiang family joked that the two sons didn't like their mother anymore.
He Junsheng and He Liansheng went to pull the Jiang family again and didn't let go, causing the people at the table to laugh.
He Da has not tasted meat for a long time, and his favorite thing is fatty meat. I took a large piece and put it in my mouth, and my face was full of satisfaction.
The two drank wine and talked. Jiang was happy to see them drinking happily, but he would still persuade them to drink less. Sang Yu took the two children to eat, afraid that they would not be able to clamp it, so he kept sandwiching meat for the two children, and the two children couldn't win, and their mouths were full of oil.
Everyone ate happily, and no one noticed that the door of the courtyard was pushed open.
The people in the He family are the same as Lin Dashan's family, they are all kind of wooden fences, which can't stop people at all.
"Yo, I'm eating."
Everyone was eating happily when they heard a strange yin and yang voice.
Sang Yu frowned reflexively, she didn't have a good impression of such a voice at all, whether it was Wang, Chen, or Lin Lanxiang, they were all very good at this kind of speech, and they were all people that Sang Yu hated very much.
The woman, who had been standing outside the door, had already entered the house. Sang Yu stopped his chopsticks and looked at her. A sense of defensiveness rose in my heart. That woman is not as fat as Wang's, she is thinner, and she looks a little weak and pitiful, but Sang Yu previously classified her into the Wang family's kind of people in her heart, and naturally she has no good impression of her in her heart, but she only feels that her slightly thin face looks very sour.
As soon as the woman entered, the original joyful and harmonious atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared, and only the cold that remained. He Junsheng and He Liansheng didn't talk anymore, only carefully shaving the rice in the bowl.
He Da was originally still talking to Lin Dashan with a wine glass, but when he saw the woman at this moment, the smile on his face was completely frozen, and his face twitched involuntarily.
"Mother, why are you here?"
He Da stood up, his voice a little cold.
Only then did Sang Yu know that the woman turned out to be He Da's stepmother, that is, the wife of his father.
No wonder he looks younger than Wang.
The woman did not seem to hear the coldness in He Da's voice at all, but she took a step forward, and with a false smile on her face, she came to the table and exclaimed, "Oh, you have a sumptuous dinner." Such a big pot of meat, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. Hey, I'll just say, you young people, where do you know how to live, this life is not like this, don't have a little money today, it's all in your stomach, you have to save it. At that time, I said that you should leave the money to me for safekeeping, but you didn't, you insisted on leaving home to live on your own. Now it's such a feast and drink. I didn't invite my family to eat, but it was cheaper for these outsiders. Hum. ”
Na Lai's slanted eyes scratched Sang Yu and Lin Dashan, and he was so angry that he scolded that He Da and his wife didn't know how to take it back and be filial to them.
Sang Yu felt funny in her heart, could it be that all the women in the countryside were like this, and they had to try their best to put other people's money into their own pockets, so that they could feel better. She sneered in her heart, if she gave you all the money, I was afraid that all of them would be lost, it would be better to feed the dog, at least feed the dog, and the dog can help you watch the door.
It's just that this is a big family matter, and they don't have much to say to outsiders.
He Da didn't hear it, put down the cup in his hand, and asked what he just said again.
When the woman saw that no one in the house had invited her to sit down, she pursed her lips, glanced around the house, and said with an impatient face, "Your father said that all the grain in the house has been recovered, and you and your daughter-in-law will go to the house tomorrow to thresh." ”
As he spoke, his eyes kept on the rabbit meat in the middle of the table and never moved away.
When Jiang heard Lai's words, his heart froze, and he blurted out, "We have already gone to help take back the millet, why do you still ask us to thresh." ”
He Da also meant this, he looked at Lai's family, if it weren't for his father, he would have wanted to have nothing to do with that side at all. Partial women still come to find trouble every once in a while.
Na Lai's look was very impatient, she listened to Jiang's words, and laughed mockingly, "That's what your father said, if you have a problem, you go to him, what's the point of telling me." ”
Jiang hated her very much in his heart, if it weren't for this woman blowing the pillow wind in Old Man He's ears, then how could Old Man He ask them to do this and that.
But they have no choice, the woman is scheming, and she occupies the position of elders, and they only have the share of obedience.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Nalai knew that today's goal had been achieved. She should also go, this house is dirty and messy, and it is very unsightly to look at.
"In that case, then you should come early tomorrow. You guys, just eat whatever you want, your father and your brothers and nephews haven't eaten meat for a long time, I'll take this pot of meat away. So saying, he reached over and tried to take away the pot of rabbit meat that was in the middle of the table.
Only when her hand touched the porcelain basin, it was vigorously slapped open.
Anger rose on her face, and when she looked up, she saw Sang Yu looking at her with a smile. She also has lingering feelings about Sang Yu, after all, they are all from the same village, and they are not far away, and she is also very clear about those things about Sang Yu. That time, when Sang Yu was holding a knife to cut Lin Lanxiang, she was still watching from the side, and she only felt that the family must not marry a daughter-in-law like this. didn't dare to confront Sang Yu, so he only looked at He Da with an angry face, and asked, "He Da, what do you mean by this, can't I, a mother, eat some meat from you?" ”
But he didn't expect Sang Yu to laugh out loud.
Eat some meat from you?
Hehe, don't talk about eating meat, I'm afraid you want to boil all the bones of He Da's family to make soup and drink.
He Da's face did not change, but the hand under the table was trembling slightly, he was already extremely angry in his heart, but he still had to restrain the look on his face, "Mother, this is not the meat I bought, this is the one that Brother Dashan brought over today." ”
Lai didn't believe it, she had to get the meat back.
When even his sleeves covered his face and cried, "Alas, I'm really miserable, thinking that I haven't eaten meat at home for a long time, if you don't say that you sent it yourself, I didn't care about the face of the elders to ask you for it, and you still pushed it three times and pushed it four, and lied to me that it wasn't yours." Woo, I know that you think I'm a stepmother and refuse to respect me. I don't force it, but your father is always your own father, you have big fish and meat here, and your father eats green vegetables and radishes every day, and the taste in his mouth is dull. You eat big fish and meat, but your father gnaws cabbage and radish every day, how can you be willing to be a son. Woo, you must hate your father for marrying your stepmother back then, but I ask myself if you treat you well, your brother has it, and you have it. Now, you'd rather give that meat to outsiders than think about your home. Your brother eats it, and he can still remember your good in the future, and help you more, this outsider, eating is eating, and wasting this pot of meat in vain. ”
Lai's has always been able to speak, and he is the best at pretending, and he eats Old Man He to death. often said that he didn't say a word to turn over.
For example, now, although He Da was extremely angry in his heart, he couldn't even say a word of response. No wonder he and Lin Dashan can become good friends. It's because there are similarities in the personalities of the two.
Jiang is also most afraid that Lai's will come to the door, Lai's reputation in the village is not bad, and he can say well-behaved words to please others. often uses the excuse of his stepmother to blackmail He Da to help him do this and that, but He Da is very reputational, and every time she succeeds.
It seems that this pot of meat can't be saved, Jiang sighed, originally wanted to invite Lin Dashan and the two to come over for dinner, but now, the meal was not eaten well, but it made a lot of anger.
She couldn't help it. I hated that the Lai clan didn't come early or late, but it came at this time. It's really unlucky.
Seeing that no one was stopping him, he once again stretched out his hand to the pot of rabbit meat.
Before her hand could touch the pot, she shrank back with a tingling pain. I saw Sang Yu standing opposite her, holding something in her hand, by the candlelight, shining silver. She didn't look at Lai's family, only stared at her hand, and said lightly, "In this world, there are many people with cheap hands, but they don't know it, let's be a good person, scratch that cheap paw for her, and do a good deed." ”
Originally, Sang Yu didn't like the Lai family, but it was a family affair, and she couldn't manage it so widely. It's just that Lai's really annoying, she warned her once, but she didn't expect to give up the rabbit meat, and even said some nonsense without face and skin, Sang Yu felt that it was dirty ears when she heard it, so she took advantage of Lai's moment to speak, and went to Jiang's house to find a needle.
The needle was already small, and it only hurt when it was pierced into a person's body, but it didn't hurt. Sang Yu was pierced hard just now, and her ten fingers were connected to her heart, and you could hear how painful she was from Lai's scream just now.
Na Lai's family is used to being sideways at home on weekdays, and she hasn't worked much over the years, she was pricked by Sang Yu, her face turned white with pain, she covered her hands, and her face, which was still a little delicate and weak, was also distorted, Jiang looked at it, and her heart was very happy.
Over the years, Lai's father-in-law has eaten to death, and as soon as something happens at home, he asks someone to ask the two of them to do it.
If it weren't for the word filial piety, the Jiang family would have turned against her a long time ago.
Lai's pain was so painful that she also lost her usual hypocrisy, she twisted her face and yelled at Sang Yu, "What are you doing? The little prostitute who died even dared to move her aunt and grandmother. ”
Sang Yu suddenly remembered a very famous Internet sentence in the world, and said casually, "Who is the little prostitute scolding?" ”
None of the Lai clans reacted, so they immediately replied, "The little prostitute scolded you." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned white. Sang Yu leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and Jiang didn't dare to laugh, so he only lowered his head and bit his lip to keep himself from laughing as much as possible.
Lai's usual weak image provokes Old Man He to obey her, and she is also used to pretending to be a good person to win everyone's favor with other people in the village. Maybe it's because she's been pretending to be for a long time, and she seems to have become the person she has been pretending to be, and when people talk a little louder, she can't help but show that kind of aggrieved expression, as if she has been wronged.
Now that she is laughed at by Sang Yu and others, even the Jiang family, who she has always looked down on the most, secretly laughs at her under the table. Lai's face suddenly became aggrieved, her two eyes were instantly filled with tears, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at the people in the room who didn't care about her at all. It's just that if her face were more than twenty years younger, it might look soft-hearted, but she is almost forty now, and she can't maintain it, the corners of her eyes are so deep that they can trap mosquitoes to death, and the skin on her face is dull and yellow, and it is so loose that it hangs down. The melasma on his cheeks looked less youthful than Wang's. That Wang is already fat, fat people, naturally more rich than thin people, and their skin is better.
Sang Yu only felt that Lai's expression was really unappetizing, obviously she was an old woman, but she still made an expression like a teenage girl, how strange it was to look.
Originally, she didn't want to care about this matter, but the Lai family wanted to take the pot of rabbit meat away, you know, Sang Yu made a fuss that time, because the meat at home was taken away by the Wang family while she was away. Therefore, she naturally hates this kind of thing the most. The Lai clan was still faceless and had to leave in front of her.
In this way, the Lai clan is even more shameless than the Wang clan.
Sang Yu sneered, "I really don't know who can teach such a person in his family, he probably hasn't eaten meat in his life, and when he arrives at someone else's house, he doesn't say hello or say, but he stretches out his hand to take away the food on other people's tables." I've seen shameless, but I've never seen anything like this. Today, it was an eye-opener. ”
That Lai's face was hot when Sang Yu said it, but she didn't want to admit that she was wrong, so she stiffened her neck and argued, "What other people's house, hmph, this is my house, and here lives my son and daughter-in-law, I naturally want to come, I don't need to be an outsider to take care of you." But you, the meat of my son's house, should have been used to honor us, and you have eaten it, so much rabbit meat can be worth some money, I see, you will take out a tael of silver, and I will treat this thing as if it never happened. Otherwise, I'll tell him to go. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Sang Yu proudly, and there was still a trace of essence in his eyes. seems to recognize that Sang Yu will be bluffed by her.
When Sang Yu heard it, he thought he had heard it wrong.
This Lai actually took the money to buy his own rabbit meat, and asked for a tael of silver with the lion open his mouth. She probably didn't understand how much a tael of silver was.
Sang Yu has seen shamelessness, but he has never seen such shamelessness.
Over there, Lin Dashan saw that Lai's family was embarrassed by his daughter-in-law, and suddenly remembered the scene of Wang's embarrassment of Sangyu in his mind. It's just that, in the past, he was a party to the subject, with a mother on one side and a daughter-in-law on the other, and he was caught in the middle, and he didn't know what to do. But now, he is not the person concerned, it is none of his business, he watched his daughter-in-law being bullied, and an unspeakable anger swelled in his heart. Anger is mixed with deep guilt and remorse.
Before Sang Yu could speak, He Da sneered, looking at the coldness in Lai's eyes, which made Lai's couldn't help but shudder.
"Heh, whose mother are you, why didn't I know that your son and daughter-in-law still lived here."
He Da's voice was cold, Lai thought she had heard it wrong, she looked at He Da in astonishment, as if she didn't believe what she heard with her ears.
Jiang also looked at his man with some surprise, and his face seemed to be happy.
Lai Shi looked at He Da in disbelief, and asked in his mouth, "He Da, what are you talking about?" ”
There was a sneer on the corner of He Da's mouth, and looking at the wonderful expression on Lai's face, he repeated it again. I was afraid that Lai Shi wouldn't understand, so he said again, "My mother has died a long time ago, if she doesn't die, will it be your turn to enter the door of my He family?" What kind of mother are you, don't you die? ”
This is a clear curse. He Da has had enough of it over the years, and his backlog of grievances has completely poured out today, but he can't control it. He knew that once he tore his face, he was afraid that there would be more trouble, but it was too late for him.
If Lai didn't dare to believe that He Da would say such a thing at first, now, she can't help but believe it.
Her mind went blank, and she couldn't think of anything to do at the moment.
After a while, there was a smile of surprise on his face, and then he ran outside with a shout, shouting as he ran, "You are so disobedient and unfilial, I told your father to go, I told your father to go." ”
The Lai clan will just tell your father to go. When He Da heard this, there was not even a trace of surprise on his face, obviously he was used to it. Even the Jiang family didn't show the slightest strangeness on his face.
Lai Shi left, and the people at the table were no longer in the mood to eat. He Da poured a glass of wine into his mouth, because he drank too violently, and coughed. Jiang quickly poured him a cup of tea, and kept patting him on the back. He Da drank the tea, and his face turned red from coughing.
The two children are gone, and they are not as nervous as they were just now. Sang Yu looked at the Jiang clan while holding the dishes for them. She said with some worry, "Sister-in-law He, I'm afraid that your stepmother will talk nonsense when she goes back, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, Brother He's father will come over indiscriminately to make trouble." ”
But I heard Jiang's bitter smile, and his eyes were dead, like a foggy morning, and he couldn't see anything.
"Over the years, has his father been indiscriminate? It's just the two of us, Junsheng and Liansheng are just two children, and when they get there, they will only be bullied, and they will be sued by the wicked first. His father wouldn't even ask, he would beat the two children when he caught them, but he didn't look at others watching and laughing. I was also scared, and when the children heard that they were going there, they would not go at home crying and making noise, and no matter how I coaxed them, they would not go. I'm afraid that the children will also be raised to be cowardly and timid in the future, so what hope do I have in this life, do I have to be pressed on my head by them for the rest of my life, so I might as well die clean. ”
The more Jiang Shi talked, the more sad he became, and the more he talked, the more hopeless he became, and in the end, he actually lay on the table and cried sadly.
He Da lowered his head and didn't speak, how could he not feel the same way as the Jiang family. worked desperately for that side, and didn't get a good one, not even a full meal. After eating a little more, he was wronged by the Lai clan, and Old Man He's slap came down.
He is such a big person, and he was taught a lesson in front of his younger brothers, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces, and nieces, and he hated that old man a little bit in his heart.
The family affection that has been almost wiped out has long since disappeared, and now, there is nothing left.
He's thinking it through now, too. He was originally a person who didn't have a mother, but he was eager for that family affection, so he let the family treat him as if he were not a human being. originally thought that his own father would be good to him after all, but how could the dead fight with the living. His mother is dead, and there will be no more mothers.
Now, he only hates himself for being compromised at that time, if he could have recognized the situation earlier, he would not still be tired of his wife and children suffering now.
That night, the only people who ate happily were He Junsheng and He Liansheng. They are still children, so naturally they don't understand the troubles in the adult world. (To be continued.) )
