Chapter 70: Self-Defense
Huang's production, Pei Laosi naturally can't take care of working here. Not only did he not care about coming here, but because Pei Liu's family was angry with the Huang family on weekdays, and it was when Pei Rao was preparing for a dowry, he used this as an excuse and didn't wait. He also has to personally serve the Huang family's confinement.
Huang's mother only came to take care of her for seven or eight days when she had just given birth, and when her daughter was able to get out of bed and walk around, she went home to worry about the family's affairs.
Su Shiyin thought that when he gave birth, it was a similar situation. At that time, Pei Mingyuan was still lying on the bed and couldn't move, not as good as Huang. I felt a little empathy, and I went over sooner or later, helping for a few days.
As soon as she left, Xiao Pei Xuan was naturally left to Pei Yan and Pei Rong to take care of. Pei Yan has no one to help, and second, she has no more time to fiddle with her flowers and plants. Fortunately, there are enough ivy cuttings.
She also simply took advantage of this opportunity to rest.
On this day, she and Pei Rong were playing with little Pei Xuan at home, and Su, who had just gone to the old courtyard, came back in a hurry.
Pei Yan asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" Who made you angry in that courtyard? ”
Su has not been to the old courtyard since the New Year, until Huang's birth. Pei Yan thought it was Pei Liu's or Han's, or Zhao's, or Pei Rao's troubles for any of these people.
Su Shi waved his hand and smiled, "No, I just heard from people on the street that your Mama Tian is not feeling well, and she has been lying in bed for several days." I thought that your Aunt Mancang always saw that our house was busy, and she was too embarrassed to tell us. ”
Before the construction class, his family and Tian Mancang were already polite to each other. After the construction class, the relationship between the two families became closer.
So. Tian Shiquan's grandmother is sick, and it seems to be a serious illness that can't get up, Su Shi doesn't know, if he knows, he really has to take a look. Otherwise, it's polite.
As soon as Pei Yan heard this, she said, "Then you have to give some courtesy, right?" With that, he handed over his little brother to Pei Rong and went into the house to get money for the Su family.
It's not that there is nothing at home, but. It was prepared for Pei Mingyuan's team. Money for everyday use. Or she's out well.
Pei Yan took 200 wen and came out of the house, a little proud, she is a rich person now.
Su Shi laughed at her when he saw it, "Just those six or seven taels of silver will make you like this." Catch up with Ming and make more money. I can't be happy to the sky! ”
Pei Yan laughed. Hand her the money.
Su turned to leave. Pei Rong hugged her little brother and grinded behind her, "Mother, I'm going too." ”
Su Shi turned around and took two steps. Holding his youngest son in his arms, he said, "Cheng, you go too." Then he said to Pei Yan, "You can go too." Seeing that the sky is boring at home, the people in the town are almost unrecognizable to you. ”
Pei Yan shook her head, "I'm not going." ”
Su Shi smiled, "Let's go, Shiquan is not at home." ”
"Really?" Pei Yan didn't go to Tian's house, it was really because of him. Since the misunderstanding on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she deliberately did not go to Tian's house. Yes, since then, I really haven't seen Tian Shiquan.
Su Shi smiled and nodded, "Hmm." I heard your Aunt Mancang say, last time your Uncle Mancang came to the house, he made a fuss about learning from your brother, and he stopped studying and went to work in the construction class. Your Aunt Mancang didn't suppress him for a few days, and Qian'er took advantage of your Uncle Mantun to go to Fucheng and followed. ”
Tian Mantun is Tian Mancang's younger brother. When he was a child, he was also a famous Tao boy in this area of Bei'an Town, and after marrying his relatives, he didn't pay much attention to it.
The old man and his wife couldn't get used to him, so they followed the eldest son's family to live.
"In that case, then I'll go and see it too." Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
She just avoided Tian Shiquan because of this, not because she had anything in her heart. was afraid that Tian Shiquan would see her awkward, or, it turned out that his mind was not completely broken, and he was dangling in front of his eyes all day long, and he was hooked again.
Isn't that uncomfortable for yourself?
Even if he was just a little embarrassed, Pei Yan didn't feel comfortable, and he was very uncomfortable.
Well, old cows and young grass......
It's just too much pressure.
Fortunately, she followed the Su family to the town with a drum in her heart, and when she arrived at Tian's house, Tian Shiquan was really not at home.
As soon as the Lu family saw that Su Niang was coming, he hurriedly welcomed them into the house. Looking at the gift bag that Pei Yan was carrying, she complained to Su Shidao, "It's an old man of the old man, it's not a big deal, what kind of gift do you give." And he said, "Now we should be near, but you and I have seen you." ”
Asked the mother to sit down, and then said, "I think your family is in a hurry, don't let Sister Xing'er mention it in front of you, you still know." ”
Su Shi waved his hand and smiled, "Hey, what are we busy with?" It's them who are busy, and they're the ones who are messing up. ”
I went into the inner room again, went to see Mama Tian, and asked her about her condition.
Mama Tian gasped like a bellows, propping up her body to get up, panting as she got up, "People are useless when they get old." Before I could feel anything wrong with the rain, I got cold. I didn't pay attention to it at first, who would want to breathe like this. "Mama Tian has an old problem with asthma, and she can't stand the cold.
Lu Shi hurriedly helped her lie down and said, "If your old man had said that her throat and eyes were itchy, why didn't you grab some medicine earlier?" waited until he couldn't support it anymore before he spoke. If not, I would not have suffered this sin today. ”
Su Shi also said that she had to pay more attention to her illness and not get cold.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard Zhao's voice outside.
Su Shi hurriedly waved his hand at the Lu family, meaning not to let the Zhao family know that she was here. Save it from meeting someone else's house, and it doesn't look good if you don't speak. Speak, and what is there to say to her.
The Lu family understood, and came out of the curtain to see that it was indeed the Zhao family. She smiled and said, "His grandmother is sick in the house, and your family is doing a happy event again, so don't get sick, I won't invite you into the house." ”
Zhao didn't plan to enter the house, so he first asked about Mama Tian's condition. Only then did he plead with a hint of pleading, and said in a sincere tone, "I know what to say outside." I wanted to talk to people face to face, but it didn't reach my face, even if I wanted to tell the difference, I couldn't find anyone. There was no way, so I had to come and walk around the house. Let me tell you the truth about this. If you listen to my words and still feel that the girl is wrong, please also see that they are all neighbors, and the girl is young and young, spare her this time. If you think it's right, please ask the neighbors to hear this again and help defend it......"
Su Shi and Pei Yan looked at each other in the house, is the word Zhao very familiar?
Zhao's words continued, "...... The girl went home after eating at the third child's house, and when she walked to the door of the house, she saw the fourth daughter-in-law and the fourth child in trouble, her grandmother couldn't hold it down, and she was afraid that her fourth aunt would have a fetal gas, so she went to ask the third family to move to persuade the fight......"
“…… As a result, just after walking to the small bridge, the people in the courtyard had already received letters and came out to see the excitement. You also know the temperament of our villagers, and when you see someone's house is lively, it is more energetic than a monkey in the town. She had just arrived at the small bridge, and before she had passed, she called the people who poured out to block it. When I couldn't get over and couldn't retreat, I saw Brother Yu fall into the water. ”
“…… She was also anxious, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the eldest nephew of the Song family standing at the head of the bridge, and hurriedly asked him to save people. Who would have thought that the eldest nephew of the Song family was about to jump into the water, and this jump would bring the girl down. ”
“…… My brother-in-law of the Song family is a kind-hearted person, and when he saw that Brother Xian'er had made a fool of herself in public, I was afraid that it would be difficult for her to say kiss in the future, so I proposed it, saying that it would be ...... kiss to kiss."
When Zhao said this, he said hurriedly, "I don't know if you have seen my eldest nephew of the Song family." Endland is a good talent! To put it bluntly, if a girl wants to marry such a talent, I am willing to do so. What's more, if she doesn't marry, don't think about her family affairs in the future. That's it, we are happy to do the family business......"
After a pause, she sighed again, "...... It's just that my sister has always been high-spirited, and she looks down on the girl. I thought she was wilting, and she couldn't help the eldest nephew of the Song family in the future, so she was very angry with me, and even my mother was to blame ......" said, sighing.
looked very helpless.
Pei Yan raised her eyebrows at the Su family, listening to Zhao's words, reversing black and white is nothing, the key is to think about it.
Her last few words must have been to cover up the unconcealable quarrels that took place in the Pei family's old courtyard.
She shook her head and said "tsk", she is really a talent!
Su Shi quietly slapped his daughter and scolded her in a low voice, "Don't learn that weird look, you still had the face to scold Brother Yu before, aren't you doing the same today?" ”
Pei Yan secretly stuck out her tongue, straightened her expression, and then listened.
I only heard Zhao continue, "...... This is a great joy that is smooth and reasonable, and kissing. I don't know where all the ugly words from outside came from? Dare to be a girl to save Brother Yu'er, is it wrong to save it? Could it be that watching him drown and not worrying is this cousin love? ”
Speaking of this, she shook her head with a blank face, looking very sad and disappointed, "Others can be ruthless to this, but we can't be ruthless." Who would have thought that with a good heart, he would have bad intentions! ”
The Lu family heard it, and this alluded to the Su family. I was afraid that Su Shi couldn't stop listening to it in the house, and jumped out to talk to her. At that time, I will be embarrassed to help the person who helps to conceal it.
"I don't often stay at home these days, so I really don't know." But as soon as you say it today, I'll understand. Whoever says this again in the future, I will defend you. ”
For fear that she would continue, she hurriedly said, "...... I haven't seen the pomp and circumstance of the Song family's hiring, but I've heard it said. But that's really magnificent! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first one in our Bei'an Town. ”
Zhao lowered his head and stroked the broken hair in his ear, and said humbly, "How can there be." The rich man's house is here, how can we ordinary people cross his house. ”
The Qian family is in the town, and it can be regarded as a scholarly family that ordinary people look up to. The ancestor produced a fellow jinshi and served two terms as a county magistrate. In this generation, the family has made a move, and there is also some family business.
Lu Shi said, "Even if it is the pomp and circumstance of Old Man Qian's family when he was a parent, it is nothing more than that." ”
Curious about the rumors she heard recently, what different words would Zhao have, so she smiled and said, "...... I heard that your family is busy buying a dowry for Sister Rao'er. Everything was bought in Fucheng, and the dowry alone cost hundreds of taels of silver. ”
Zhao's face froze.
