Chapter 401: Memories
What happened in the backyard the night before, the Ji family knew about it the morning of the second day, and everyone felt that the long-standing stuffiness in their hearts emanated. And Mrs. Ji was waiting in the courtyard early in the morning for Brother Ji Shouye to come to ask for peace, and when he saw the smiling faces of those three people in the morning, he was so angry that his heart was almost squirting out.
He looked at the three of them with a cold face and asked, "What about the others?" Ji Shouye looked at him and said with a smile: "Father, it's not yet the right day for us to say goodbye, after getting up in the morning, I heard that there was trouble in the backyard last night, let me ask if my father is safe?" The two of them met on the road, and they were both concerned about their father's safety. ”
Old Lady Ji sneered and looked at the three sisters-in-law, and said, "What happened last night, you only came this morning, don't you think it's too late?" Ji Shoujia frowned and looked at him, and said, "Father, I heard that the backyard was too noisy last night, so I sent someone to inquire, and after knowing that my father was fine, I didn't make a special trip to ask for peace." ”
Ji Shoucheng was too lazy to talk to Mrs. Ji, he directly moved three benches, beckoned Ji Shouye and Ji Shoujia to sit down, and he said to Mrs. Ji: "Father, I don't have anything to do this morning, I can accompany my father to have a good conversation." Old lady Ji looked at him with white eyes and said, "Your wife and daughter came to make trouble last night, and you made a special trip to threaten me?" ”
Ji Shoucheng looked at him with a bored look on his face and said, "Father, why do you have to be a little less happy when you say the good things in our family." Obviously, the two of them came over yesterday to congratulate the old lady on her good fate and her father's son-in-law, why did my father say that they came to make trouble? ”
He looked at Mrs. Ji with a puzzled look on his face, and the look on his face made Mrs. Ji even more bloody. He stretched out his hand to cover his chest and said in a dumb voice: "Second child, their mother and daughter didn't kill me last night, you are here to add to the fire today, right?" ”
Ji Shoucheng turned his head directly, he was very discouraged and said, "Father, it is so difficult for me and you to continue." I said no, and you said yes. Forget it, father, think whatever you want. Old lady Ji shook her fingers and said, "Second child, I don't believe you don't know what kind of thing that mother and daughter came to do last night, are you just letting them be unfilial?" ”
Ji Shoucheng looked at Mrs. Ji with some anger and said, "Father, Ning has been married to me for many years, she may have some shortcomings, but she has always been filial to her father. Zhen'er is so simple, she has always been good friends with the old lady, last night she just accompanied her mother to talk to the old lady, you just look at their mother and daughter like this, so what do you want them to do? ”
"Slap" Old Lady Ji slapped the table again and scolded angrily: "Ning's deliberately came to slap his face, right?" She swollen the flower's face and spoke coldly to each other. Second, I want to ask you, what did I do with her to make the people in your room so angry and fight? ”
Ji Shoucheng's smile cooled, he observed the expression of the old lady Ji very carefully, and he said a little sadly: "Father, as early as more than thirty years ago, you didn't treat us as your sons, you only thought of us as the ones who blocked your way, right?" Ji Shouye Ji Shoujia looked at Old Lady Ji's expression silently, why don't they think like this in their hearts.
Old Lady Ji's face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "What happened more than thirty years ago, if you want me to talk to the person, it should be your mother, I think I have fulfilled my father's responsibility to treat you." Ji Shoujia listened to his words, his body sat upright, he looked at Old Lady Ji and asked in a low voice, "Father, it turns out that you have fulfilled your responsibility to teach me."
It's probably because I'm older, and I don't remember much of what my father taught me when I was a kid. Among the three of them, Mrs. Ji did his father's duty to his two older sons, and after Ji Shoujia was born, it was he who was tempted by the excitement outside and lost his way home, how could he take this little son to heart, he only felt bored.
Old lady Ji sneered at Ji Shoujia and said, "You are the child born to me, do you have any doubts about this?" Or do you want to settle some old things with me? If you want to count those old things, you should go to your mother to calculate them, she brought you to Shuzhou City, so that I can't take care of you. ”
Ji Shoujia was shocked by Old Lady Ji's cheekiness, and he sighed and said: "Father, you have not been able to be promoted as an official, I think your official luck is too bad, otherwise, with your actions, it may be just a petty official in the end." It's a pity that I don't have the ability of my father, and I don't have the ability of my eldest brother and second brother. ”
Bringing up the old things again, Old Lady Ji was also full of anger and resentment, and he always thought in his heart that Old Lady Ji ruined his official fortune. Originally, Mrs. Ji was willing to help cover up those things outside, and he must have a chance to climb up. However, Mrs. Ji chose a lose-lose approach, leaving him in his old age, and he could only live at the mercy of his sons.
At this moment, Old Lady Ji completely forgot that he had done it too obviously, and when everyone was snatching the same opportunity, the opponent saw his obvious mistake, so he naturally took advantage of it. And Mrs. Ji is such an inner house woman, she is lucky to have a good son who is filial and shrewd, so she did not die early because of Mrs. Ji's secret struggle.
Old lady Ji only remembers other people's mistakes, and he has never forgotten that he has made more mistakes. He sneered and said: "I regret marrying the wrong wife the most in my life, so that it is difficult to move in the officialdom step by step, and I have fallen to the point of achieving nothing in my life." The three Ji Shouye brothers all changed their faces, and after so many years, he still had such a deep grudge against Mrs. Ji.
Ji Shouye sneered and said, "Father, the relationship between you and your mother was decided by your grandfather and grandmother for you. If your old man really complains in his heart, you can go and talk to them in person in a few years. Mother, in this life, she has paid a lot for the Ji family, and later she has children, and she has never hurt any life.
Such a woman, she can't be regarded as a good wife, she can only say that her life is not good, and she is not blessed to meet a lover. Ji Shoucheng recalled with great emotion: "When my grandfather and grandmother were alive, they talked to their neighbors, and they all sighed that they had a filial daughter-in-law, and they would live so comfortably in their old age." ”
It is precisely because of Mrs. Ji's filial piety that when Mrs. Ji had such a affair outside, everyone thought that he was sorry for her. The people around him couldn't accept his change of heart after his parents left. When the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, when everyone pushed the wall, no one thought that it would affect Mrs. Ji.
Ji Baohua hid in Mrs. Ji's room, she waited for Mrs. Ji to breathe a sigh of relief for her, and discussed her family affairs by the way. But she listened to the topic outside, and gradually turned to the direction of reminiscence, she was very anxious in the room, she reached out and touched her face, she gasped. (To be continued.) )
