Chapter 116: Sister-in-law

Lu Jianpeng was in the mood next door, sitting by the window facing outward, afraid that his mother would be suspicious, and took the books borrowed from the school library in his hand and flipped through them. In the past, he liked to read the most, and felt that smelling the fragrance of ink was more comfortable than doing anything, but today it was like being obsessed, and the lines of words seemed to have become strange in his eyes, and he didn't know what the book said after reading for a long time.

All that turned around in my mind was the beautiful woman, but looking at her beautiful eyes, talking to herself with a smile, she seemed to be in front of her. Look, how young and beautiful that face is, like fat jade like the moon, those eyes, it's really hard for her to be born so well, clear as the water in the pool, rippling. There is also a pair of hands carrying the pot, soft and slender, if you are lucky enough to hold it, you will probably have no regrets in this life. Lu Jianpeng unconsciously stretched out his hand into the air, approaching little by little, as if he really wanted to hold her hand.

His mother has made her daughter full of anger in the past two days, and it is rare for her youngest son to come today, and she is comfortable to serve, and the sun is so good, so she leans on the bedside pillow and closes her eyes to rest. Seeing his youngest son's stupidity, he was frightened, and hurriedly opened his eyes and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" Is it because you have been sitting for a long time and your body is sore? ”

Lu Jianpeng was shocked by her words, and the beauty in front of him suddenly collapsed into pieces, and he couldn't pick it up again, he was annoyed and ashamed, but because it was his mother who asked, he stood up and said very respectfully: "It's nothing, Mom, it's because I read a paragraph in the book that is really good, so I came out of my mind." ”

"Then don't look at it, be careful to look like a nerd." The old lady may have been inspired by her eldest son's fight in officialdom, and did not care much about her younger son's schoolwork. On the contrary, I would like him to go out more and make some friends in society. It will also be beneficial to the development of his career in the future. It's just that this little son is not as she wishes, and every day in addition to textbooks is books. I don't know where he got so much spirit, he loves to gnaw on these brick-like things. Then he continued, "Come here, help me, and I'll get up and walk again." ”

Her body bones are actually quite strong, but she has been angry for days, and she always feels bloated and tight. I heard that the eldest son's hospitalization fee has not been taken yet, and the old lady is not without ideas in her heart, but no matter how much she thinks, she won't even show her face. And to whom could she say it? It's also to blame that she didn't talk a few days ago, and it was not good to mention anyone, but she had to mention the dead man's daughter-in-law. - Don't you know that that is his taboo?

She stood up with her youngest son's support and walked two steps. When people are old, their backs will always be ricketed, and her son is still in his prime, and his back is straight, which shows her shortness more and more. The old lady's eyes slipped off Lu Jianpeng's shoulder, and she sighed with a smile: "It is always said that time flies slowly." You're so big in the blink of an eye. At the age of twenty, if you say that you are not big, you should also find a way out for yourself. My eldest brother asked him to keep an eye on it, and if there is a vacancy, I will ask you to fill it. ”

Lu Jianpeng has heard this remark many times, and he still has the strength to defend himself at the beginning. He didn't want to follow the old path of his eldest brother, but his mother always forbade him to disobey her opinion. For the sake of respect, what does my mother say now? He replied: "Then I have to wait for the news of the eldest brother, although their Ministry of Finance has many positions, it has always been overcrowded, and I am afraid that there will be vacancies so soon." ”

"That's right, but your eldest brother is the second chief, so it's always more reliable than others to let him pay attention."

The old lady also knew that this thing was not said to be done, and the eldest son's official was promoted, so even if she wanted to go through the back door, she had to wait, so as not to ask people to gossip. The youngest son's career failed, and she was worried about something else, so she said: "That day, the Wang family's mother said that she wanted to give you a marriage, and I agreed for you, and I will ask your second sister to take a look at others in the next two days." It is said that the girl's father ran a grain and oil store, and his hands were very broad, and the businessman was such a girl, and if you marry her in the future, how much family property will not be yours? ”

Lu Jianpeng was most afraid that his mother would make a fuss about his marriage, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Why did Mom suddenly worry about this?" I haven't finished my studies now, and I haven't achieved anything, so why should I marry someone? Besides, that girl's background is so good, I'm afraid she may not be able to look down on me. ”

"What good background can a businessman have?" The old lady couldn't help but scoff at her youngest son's claim that he was too humble, patted the back of his hand that was holding her arm and said, "It is precisely because you are still unofficial and unemployed that I agree." In the future, if your brother finds a place in the Ministry of Finance for you, I don't like that girl. It's also in front of you, I can say happily, when your eldest brother married your sister-in-law, I was also just a reporter for your eldest brother, and your sister-in-law's appearance is reasonable, and your brother said that she has no relatives and no support in her family, and she can make up for some family expenses if she leaves a dowry, so I didn't think too much about it and allowed the two of them to get married. Speaking of which, I was so confused about my decision, completely forgetting that although her dowry was good, she had no background in the end, and she couldn't help your eldest brother at all, but told your eldest brother to work hard until he was almost thirty before becoming a second minister. If your eldest brother got married two years later and married a wife who was the right person, he would never be what he is now, and I am afraid that he will not be able to rise to the rank of minister. I will eat a trench and grow wise, this time I will not tell you a daughter of a poor family, whether it is a businessman or an official, it is always much stronger than your sister-in-law's mourning star. ”

"Mom!" Lu Jianpeng was a little impatient, "My sister-in-law has been gone for so long, the dead are big, don't talk about her behind your back." She has been in our family for so many years, and she has no credit and hard work, why can't you get along with her now? ”

"I can't get along with her? Jianpeng, don't turn your elbows outward. ”

The old lady can't see others saying good things for her daughter-in-law, what is it in the first place, what good can a daughter from a poor family have? With a foxy face, she would seduce a man, if it weren't for her, what kind of ladies wouldn't be able to say with Jianhao's conditions? Where is it like now, she is still haunted when she is dead, and the people who came to discuss her relatives heard that she was going to fill the house for the Lu family, who would marry a good girl? When she mentioned it, she was angry, and at this moment she said, "Tell me, what credit has she worked on?" It's been seven or eight years since I married into our family, and my stomach is not angry at all, and she was pregnant with one in front of her, and the first one in the back is not a handle, and she has the same bad luck as her mother, and it is gone early. I see, our family is restrained by her, look at your second sister, she hasn't been pregnant for three or four years of marriage, isn't she making trouble? ”

"Mom!" Lu Jianpeng smiled bitterly, he didn't know why his mother was so unreasonable when she met her sister-in-law, the second sister failed to get pregnant, according to rumors, the responsibility was all on the second brother-in-law, how could he have a relationship with the sister-in-law? He still has unbearable and sympathy for the innocent drowning sister-in-law and niece, and is very disgusted with his mother's slander, so he said, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, I don't think my sister-in-law has anything to be sorry for our family, your old man had cervical spondylitis before, and the sister-in-law is undressing for you to apply hot compresses and take medicine, can't you see her filial piety?" ”

"Ah, what is she called filial piety? She has a lot of bad eyes, and she barely burned me to death when she applied the hot compress. The old lady still hated and hated, and intuitively felt that the youngest son had let the fox coax her, and said good things to her everywhere, so she couldn't help but persuade, "You are still young, don't let people say a few good words in a few words, you can't tell right from wrong." If she says something, will you be completely on her side and against us? ”

"It's not a counterpoint, it's a ......"

Lu Jianpeng almost didn't know what to say, but fortunately, there was a knock on the door outside, interrupting his words. He hurriedly let go of his mother's hand and went to open the door, it turned out that the second sister Jianskirt and her brother-in-law Sinan came over.

Lu Jianskirt was also surprised to see Jianpeng at this moment, and smiled unconsciously: "Why does the third brother have time to come to the hospital?" ”

Jianskirt called her second brother-in-law and said, "There are no classes in the academy today, so come and take a look at my mother's condition." Unexpectedly, such a coincidence, the second sister and brother-in-law also came. ”

Jianskirt said: "It's not your brother-in-law, I'm worried about our mother's illness, I finished collecting the rent last night, and it's rare to have a day off today, so I'm back with me." "What she said was just to sell a good man in front of Jianpeng's eyes, what kind of rent collection does not collect rent? The land in Jiangbei is big, but the butt of the fireflies is not very bright (quantity), and the hands are not enough to chew the heads of the family. The two had a conflict all night, and in order to appease her husband, Jianskirt used her brains to go to the town guard's wife, so the couple rushed to the hospital today.

When the old lady saw her daughter's expression, she knew that it was not a good thing, so she turned her head and lay back on the bed as if she was not very comfortable. Lu Jian's skirt greeted her with a smile on her face, twisted her like candy and said, "Mom, how is your old man today?" You see, Sinan only finished collecting the rent yesterday, and he knew that he was going to come to see you, Tete took an old ginseng from the pharmacy, and this thing was the biggest supplement, you see. ”

"Don't look at it, you don't have to worry about it." The old lady tilted her head, saw Jianhua holding the old ginseng's hand and pushed it away, and said to Jianpeng in one direction, "I have been talking to you for a long time, and my mouth is very thirsty, you go and pour some water for me to drink." ”

"Thirsty? I'm coming, I'm coming. Lu Jianskirt hurriedly stood up and said, "Third brother, you sit and rest for a while, I have to do this thing of serving people." So saying, he found the thermos and wanted to pour the water, and when he opened the cork, he found that the bottle was empty, and there was not a trace of heat.
