Chapter 491: A Different Look
Seeing that the coriander didn't react for a long time, Sister-in-law Li was not discouraged, and pulled her brother-in-law to the coriander and started the crazy sales mode:
"My little brother-in-law, don't look at him is only sixteen years old, he has a lot of strength, look at his muscles, and his head! He is full of energy, and he is very diligent, and he rushes to do any rough and heavy work at home! β
Not to be outdone, Aunt Kun put her son's coriander in front of her, and threw a roll of her eyes at the Li family's sister-in-law as if she was not convinced, and turned her face to smile at the coriander, and her voice was extremely beautiful and flattering, "The daughter-in-law of the Fuji family, my son is very capable, has gone to school, knows a lot of words, and can be regarded as a cultural person." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoHe's also very smart, no matter what you teach him, he will learn it-" She raised her head with her chest high, her eyes rolled, and her gaze swept over the sister-in-law of the Li family's sister-in-law with a deep meaning, raising her voice and insinuating, "Unlike some people with simple minds and developed limbs, they don't know a single big word, and they can't even write their own names. β
Sister-in-law Li could hear that Aunt Kun was targeting their family, so she immediately changed her face and choked back in a sour tone, "What if some people can read and write, they have been supported by their families for more than 20 years, not to mention that they haven't even married their daughters-in-law, and they haven't even earned a son for the family." I'm just raising a bunch of pigs, I don't have to do anything for me, I can still sell their fat for money! Hum! Besides, over the years, pork has been cooked several times! β
Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Kun were intrigued, and the two people they were defending did not react, as if this war of words had nothing to do with them.
Sister-in-law Li's brother-in-law and Aunt Kun's son, both of whom are very young.
Two young people with different mental states.
Sister-in-law Li's brother-in-law, fifteen or sixteen years old, is taller and stronger than his peers, his eyes are blazing, and his spirit is vibrant.
Aunt Kun'er's son, in his early twenties, was originally young and vigorous, but the whole person was sluggish, his sallow face looked lifeless, and he was born with sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and thief eyebrows. He hunched his neck and hunched his back, his hands were not known whether he was afraid of the cold or used to it, and he was tucked in the cuffs, looking like he was shrinking his head and shrinking his head. As long as it looks a little more valuable, his eyes look up, and it always makes people feel that he is not at ease.
Three braziers burned the room to the brim.
Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Kun said that their mouths were dry, but they didn't see any response from coriander, and they were secretly anxious. The humid air around them seemed to be evaporating little by little, and they realized the tragic fate of burning three braziers at the same time.
The servants of the master's house said so ugly that they were embarrassed to be cheeky like coriander and not be casual at that moment. Rao is that their mouths are dry at this time, and they are not embarrassed to pick up the tea bowl and take a sip of water.
Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Kun had dry mouths, and they really had nothing to say, so they waited for the coriander to reply.
Coriander ignored them, took a sour plum in her mouth, and after eating, she took a sip of tea to dilute the taste in her mouth.
The little daughter-in-law, Tianfeng, broke the silent atmosphere that gradually became awkward, "The daughter-in-law of the Fuji family, my sister didn't come today. My sister only met Miss Jiang not long ago, Miss Jiang must still remember - my sister has practiced with a Qin dialect master before, and her foundation is still good, I wonder if my sister is lucky enough to learn to sing under Miss Jiang? β
Although the little daughter-in-law Tianfeng did not speak as much as Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Kun, her tone was much better than theirs.
After Tianfeng finished speaking, Sister-in-law Li was impatient, and said to Coriander in a somewhat urging tone: "Daughter-in-law of the Fuji family, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we are all neighbors, if there is a difficulty, we should help each other, do you say!" β
"Hmph~" Coriander finally reacted, she first chuckled meaninglessly, took a sip of warm white water elegantly, and said slowly, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?" Sister-in-law Li, my Teng family and your Li family are separated by more than a dozen neighborhoods, and they don't seem to be very close. β
The smile on Sister-in-law Li's face that was about to be uncontrollable froze for a moment, and then Hua Zhi laughed wildly, "Yo, the daughter-in-law of the Fuji family, look at what you said......"
She seemed to want to break this embarrassing situation, but Cilantro didn't give her such a chance-
Cilantro raised her eyebrows and glanced at her lightly, and unhurriedly intercepted her and said, "You said that you are in difficulty, but I really can't see it-sister-in-law Li, the jacket you are wearing is made of the most popular satin, and it costs a lot of money to pull one......
Hearing what Coriander said, everyone looked at Sister-in-law Li, and saw that the rose-red printed jacket she was wearing looked bright and silky, and it was not an ordinary color at a glance.
People who can afford such good satin say that their family is in financial difficulties, and they don't believe such nonsense when they kill coriander!
Sister-in-law Li tugged at the corner of her clothes, and suddenly became shrunken, as if she wanted to cover her clothes.
She blinked her eyes quickly and said, "This jacket...... Satin...... Be...... It was sent by a relative of mine! β
The more the lies were told, the more slippery they became, so much so that even Sister-in-law Li herself almost believed it.
"It seems that the relatives at home are still more reliable than the neighbors outside - since Sister-in-law Li has such generous relatives, you can go to your relatives for help if your family is in trouble, and I won't make trouble for you here."
Sister-in-law Li's face became extremely ugly, and when she heard Aunt Kun'er's gloating laughter, she immediately became angry and glared at her fiercely.
"Aunt Kunβ"
"Gah?" Aunt Kun'er's laughter stopped abruptly, the expression on her face became dumbfounded, and she looked at Cilantro a little confused.
Coriander said naturally: "I remember that Aunt Kun'er's family is in the tofu business, and now that you are taking care of the family's livelihood alone, you never thought of letting your son take over your class?" β
Aunt Kun was stunned for a moment, and then said sharply: "Hey, how can there be any use in making tofu, it is all the work of an illiterate rough person like me." After all, my son has read and can read, so wouldn't it be a pity to let him take over my class? I just wanted to see if he could get a clerical job under the second master of Fuji......"
Aunt Kun'er's son didn't know when he started snorting hard, looking at his eyes sloppy and unstable, as if he was suffering from some kind of addiction.
Coriander took a sip of white tea and said calmly: "I think you should know that the call for a ban on smoking outside is getting louder and louder. Under pressure from the outside world, the second master had to lay off a large number of employees who smoked a lot. Nowadays, as a model of anti-smoking, none of the people under him are big smokers. β
As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Kun's son, who was obviously addicted to smoking, and her gaze became meaningful.
Ignoring Aunt Kun'er's surprised look, she continued: "Aunt Kun, you have to subsidize the family every day, and you have to buy golden flower paste for your son every month, have you forgotten how the golden flower paste killed your man?" β
The more Aunt Kun listened, the more surprised she became. She regularly buys golden flower paste for her son every month, and she has never told outsiders, how did the daughter-in-law of the Teng family know?
"If you send your son, who smokes a lot, to the second master, isn't that going to trap my second master in injustice? Wait until your son quits smoking, and then talk about finding a job. β
Aunt Kun was speechless.
As soon as she saw Cilantro's attitude towards Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Kun, Tianfeng knew that she had no fun in this matter, and couldn't help but retreat in her heart. If you are rejected in public like Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Kun, it is no wonder that it is embarrassing, Tianfeng simply spoke by herself:
"The daughter-in-law of the Fuji family, my sister's matter, I think about it or forget it, so I won't trouble you and Miss Jiang."
Coriander bowed her head, "Since you say so, I won't force it." β
In fact, the most shameless thing present was coriander, not one.
She rejected people with bad intentions, but she had a warm-hearted look on her face, but she couldn't find fault with it.
Sister-in-law Li, Aunt Kun and Tianfeng returned with their families. Although they didn't achieve their goal this time, they still earned it after thinking about it, at least they had enough to eat and drink in the Fuji family, and they took some by the way.
The rest of the people who watched the excitement also left together, but there were still old and young people lingering in the big house.
An old woman on crutches got up from the small bench after the people were cleaned, walked tremblingly to the place where Sister-in-law Li had sit, and began to clean up the mess on the table and on the ground.
A young man next to her whispered to her, "Grandma, don't do it, let's go!" β
After sending away Sister-in-law Li, Coriander who breathed a sigh of relief couldn't help but feel strange when she saw that this old man and young man were acting strangely.
The two of them looked very raw, not like they lived in this neighborhood.
She asked Hong's mother, "These two are ......?"
Hong's mother replied: "This is Grandma Zhuo, who used to serve our old lady, and that is her youngest son Zhuo Huan." β
Grandma Zhuo served by the old lady's side, and that was the old lady's old friend.
Coriander commanded: "Hurry up and say hello!" β
Coriander got up and hugged Grandma Zhuo, "Grandma, what are you doing here, you don't care about it, someone at home will clean it up." Come and sit! β
Grandma Zhuo was helped to the sofa chair, sat with coriander, and covered with the same blanket, looking very flattered, but she was pressed by coriander and couldn't get up. She couldn't help but look cramped.
Zhuo Huan sat silently to the side.
"Grandma Zhuo, we haven't seen each other yet, I'm coriander-"
Grandma Zhuo nodded crampedly, "I know, I know, it's the old lady's granddaughter-in-law-"
"Huh! My grandmother went to Hong Kong to play, what is the matter with you coming back? Grandma's avoided, just tell meβ"
Grandma Zhuo and Zhuo Huan witnessed the coriander driving Sister-in-law Li and them away one by one just now, and the purpose of their coming here is similar to that of Sister-in-law Li.
Seeing that Grandma Zhuo was difficult to speak, Coriander was relieved, "Grandma Zhuo, do you have any difficulties?" β
Grandma Zhuo was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look up at the coriander, and after thinking for a long time, she finally bit her heart and mouthed, and simply said stiffly: "Actually, I'm here today for my son who is not angry-"
She looked at Zhuo Huan, who bowed her head and was silent, and her face became stern, "You uncompetitive thing, don't get over quickly!" β
Zhuo Huan got up and walked to them silently.
Grandma Zhuo said to Coriander with a bitter face: "This is Xiaoer Zhuo Huan, he is the youngest in the family, and he was spoiled by me when he was a child." There are five people and six people who are long, and they can't do anything! Eh," she sighed, and added, "the year before last, his family was worried about his work, he had studied, he was proud of his bones, and he didn't look down on any of the errands that his family had given him. Last year was also the Chinese New Year, I came to visit the old lady, talking about the family, the old lady took care of the old feelings, so I asked Young Master Sun to find a job for my little son in the Rongji Chamber of Commerce......"
Zhuo Huan interjected: "It's an accountant." β
After speaking, he was glared at fiercely by Grandma Zhuo.
Coriander smiled, "Grandma Zhuo, you go on." β
"I don't know what's going on, my son has an unpleasant quarrel with his colleagues, isn't it just that he can't do it in the same place......" Saying this, Grandma Zhuo lowered her head in shame and continued with an old face, "It's just that he lost his job, and he was supposed to tell him a good family affair, but the other girl's family didn't want to marry into our family when they heard that he had no job......
I came here licking my old face, just to ask the old lady to be gracious again, and find a good errand for my little son......"
Seeing Grandma Zhuo shed tears, Coriander hurriedly pulled her sleeve to wipe her tears.
"Grandma Zhuo, don't cry, this matter is on me." Coriander said, "You will stay here for the next two days, and I will call my grandmother later, so that you two sisters can catch up with the old days." After two days, your son's work is confirmed, and I will ask someone to send you back. β
Grandma Zhuo had tears in her eyes and nodded gratefully.
Zhuo Huan couldn't help but look at the coriander, his eyes were surprised.
This little daughter-in-law of the Fuji family has a really good ability to talk about people when she sees people, and she has a lot of skills to talk about ghosts.
The old man has been sitting on the small bench for most of the day, and he must be tired. So Coriander asked Hong's mother to take Grandma Zhuo to the guest room to rest.
As soon as Grandma Zhuo followed Hong's mother, Coriander began to examine Zhuo Huan.
"You're such an adult, and you still let your mother of that age worry about you, are you ashamed?"
Zhuo Huan was quite obedient in front of Grandma Zhuo, but now that Grandma Zhuo was not there, she gradually revealed her true nature.
He was unconvinced: "I had already found a good job on my own, but they were not satisfied with the job I was looking for, so they had to change it for me!" They love to worry, what can I do! β
Yo, it's quite filial.
Cilantro was a little impressed with him.
Cilantro motioned for him to sit down with a look in her eyes.
Zhuo Huan saw that the position next to him was cleaned up by the maid, so he sat down.
After he sat down, Coriander asked, "Why are you having an unpleasant quarrel with your colleagues?" β
Speaking of this, Zhuo Huan seemed to be angry.
He wanted to vomit as soon as possible, but after looking at the coriander, he somehow swallowed the words that came to his mouth again. (To be continued.) )
