Chapter Twenty-Seven: Separation
"Stop." Old Man Jin's angry face was blue, and he couldn't believe his eyes at all. Concubine, uncle and nephew actually fought together.
The most wolf among these people was Xu, but she saw that she calmly arranged her hair accessories and put on the clothes that were cheating.
In the middle of the sound, she knelt in the courtyard, but she didn't say a word, her eyes were crystal with tears, and she raised her head slightly to prevent tears from dripping.
Compared with the two sisters-in-law, the Xu family looks plumper, much younger than them who work hard in the village every day.
Bai Ze's skin looked even redder, and his face was full of grievances, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Compared with the hysterical Shu on the side, it seems that she is holding back the burden.
Shu has always been the smartest among several concubines, she knows current affairs, understands people's faces, and is the most silent.
Maybe it was years of patience that erupted at this moment, and the grievances in her heart covered her eyes, and she forgot about it, and there was only Xu Shi in her eyes, who was wearing gold and silver.
After so many years of hardship, the two sons only knew how to roll in the dirt at the age of six, and the husband owed a huge gambling debt, and their family didn't know if they could survive today.
But the woman in front of her actually has spare money to buy jewelry.
Such a thick silver bracelet, the top of the family does not worry about eating and drinking for a year, the top of the two sons carry a bookbag to school.
Now he brought it to her wrist to stab her in the eye.
Shu's family doesn't look forward to the good life of other people's families, even if she wears a golden hairpin on her head, she will only envy it. The Xu family is different, the Jin family is not separated, and the money earned by everyone is handed over to the Jin Jiang family, although it will be privately settled, it will not be a large amount.
A few years ago, they saved food and drink, and their tired legs were weak in order to earn some silver for Jin Qishuang to study, until Jin Qishuang had a job in the town, and it was a little easier.
But even so, a lot of money will be sent every year, for fear that their family will not be able to make a living in the town.
Looking at Xu's appearance now, it is a lack of money, but for so many years, it is natural to accept their hard-earned money.
"Your conscience is simply eaten by dogs." Shu's bloodshot eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth.
"The second sister-in-law doesn't know what to say, I just persuaded a few words, obviously it was the second brother's mistake, so I blamed it." Hsu stiffened his back and was undaunted.
Shu Shi crossed the hand that his sister-in-law was holding at the waist, wanting to catch the hateful person.
"Jin Qiwu made a mistake, he deserves to die, then you, who is responsible for our hardship?"
"It's everyone's credit that Qiquan is where he is today, but isn't that for a better life in the future?" Xu Shi was surprised, she showed a sad expression: "Isn't it hard to open the whole way?" After ten years of hard study, he got up before dawn to read, and he read all day. He knew that his family had paid a lot for him, and not a single day had fallen for so many years. ”
Xu Shi hid his face and finally couldn't cry: "He didn't pass the exam and lived up to everyone's expectations of him." But how many of them are children within a radius of ten miles? This is also the result of his years of dedication. ”
Jin Jiang couldn't help but feel when he heard her cry full of grievances. Her third son is her pride and her talking point in the village.
No matter how hard she lived, she never regretted it, she walked over, bent down and reached out to help Xu, this was Jin Jiang's attitude.
Shu Shi was slightly stunned, and in the eyes of everyone who were a little accusatory, she suddenly came to her senses.
In the war between her and the Xu family, she lost, lost because of the Jin family's attention to Jin Qishuang, and lost because of Jin Qiwu's inaction.
But looking at Xu's slightly lowered face, the corners of her mouth that vaguely floated up, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest and she couldn't breathe.
She was not convinced, she clinged to her sister-in-law's wrist and shouted with her last strength: "What about the silver bracelet on your wrist?" With our blood and our sweat, we are frugal, and we live like a chaotic person just to buy you jewelry? ”
"Silver bracelet?"
"What silver bracelet?"
Like a drop of water falling into hot oil, it will fry very loudly.
Xu's sleeves were not long, but they completely covered the wrists of both hands, and the eyes of the Jin family fell on her hands, but no one stepped forward to uncover them.
"Nonsense! Now that there is a big disaster in the family, I don't want to think about how to deal with it, but there is infighting first, how can the family not disperse. Jin Qishuang had a rigid face, but his eyes were a little flustered, and he said seriously, rubbing his fingers against the hem of his clothes and thinking about how to get past.
"What San'er said is that we also know your situation in the town, where there will be any silver bracelets." Jin Jiang pressed his hand to find out, but his eyes were staring at Xu.
The Lu family is not easy to fool, seeing is believing, if the Xu family really has a silver bracelet in her hand, let alone Shu's family, even she will make a big fuss.
"That's it, it's better for you to raise your hand and let us see, it's not good to misunderstand."
Xu Shi raised her lowered face, there was no panic in her eyes, there was a kind of light that made Shu Shi scream badly.
Between them, she raised her hand slightly, her sleeves drooping, and her hands were as bright as nothing.
She sighed softly: "I don't know what the second sister-in-law wants to target me today, but I have a clear conscience." ”
Shu Shi smiled bitterly, she was defeated, and she was defeated.
From the first words of Xu Shi to her, she had already stepped into her trap, and now she fell into the deep pit, and there was no way.
"The second sister-in-law is like a shrew against the Xu family, I'm afraid she is dissatisfied with me." Jin Qishuang clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Master Jin: "Dad, the second sister-in-law has such a big grudge against us, how can our Jin family still work together and glorify the door of the Jin family." ”
"I was disrespectful to my second sister-in-law." Xu continued: "How much effort did it take for the Qishuang examination to do a good job, and finally we had expectations, and now that the second brother has made such a fuss, I am afraid that he is not even qualified to be recommended to the exam." ”
"That's enough, I don't have to mention this matter again, the three teachers jointly recommended it, how can there be a difference." Jin Qishuang interrupted harshly.
"No, I'm going to say." Xu Shi said firmly, she leaned on her eldest child, and couldn't cry herself: "Even if you pass the high school entrance examination, as long as it is reported that you have a gambler brother who owes natural debts, the Xiucai who has worked hard for many years will not be invalidated." ”
"Is there anything wrong with the debt and the test show?" Lu didn't want to interject, but the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Yongjia is ten years old this year, except for Jin Qishuang, he has read the most, and he is inevitably a little proud in front of the Jin family, he raised his head and said: "The gambler is a shameless person, and the second uncle still owes such a large amount of silver, and his character is even worse." Dad and the second uncle have not yet separated, and the second uncle's words and deeds represent the Jin family, with such a family dragging, how to be an official, and how to rest assured that my father will be an official. ”
Yonghua turned red and said viciously: "You are not ashamed, you have a bad character." ”
Yongjia didn't take Xiao Maotou seriously, and continued: "Fortunately, my father is not an official now, and if the second uncle owes this silver, others still don't know how to say that my father is greedy for ink, so he can repay the debt." ”
Yongjia has an official on the left and an official on the right, and many people are dizzy, but they only know the benefits of being an official.
Lu Shi panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How is that good?" ”
Maybe the calculation was too smooth, Xu got carried away for a while, and opened her mouth to say what she wanted most: "It's better to split up." ”
