Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fighting Poison with Poison
After a while, Zhou Hongwen also rushed over to thank him.
Yun Yao is a woman in the end, and it is not good to say anything to Zhou Hongwen, but she just said a few words of mourning and other things with the crowd and asked Qi Jinzhi to lead her to the back room and sit down.
Yun Yao didn't have much strength, she didn't do much work, and she couldn't help much, so she just greeted the guests at Zhou's house, and sat down and rested for a while.
Qi Yinzhu was a great help, and many things were handed over to them, all of which were done quickly and well, Qi Jinzhi was finally not as busy as yesterday, and his feet did not touch the ground, and he didn't even have time to eat.
As soon as she relaxed, she began to concentrate on the wake and mourning.
In the afternoon, there were fewer people who came to mourn, and Jin Zhi could take time to rest for a while.
She went to the back room to talk to Yun Yao, and after the two said a few words, Yun Yao asked Jin Zhi to eat more, don't exhaust her body, and saw that Jin Zhi was full of sadness, and her face was not good, so she asked a few words: "Why is your face so bad?" Did you run into something that made you worried? If the money is not enough, I will give you some first. ”
Qi Jinzhi saw that Yun Yao was really going to get the money, so he hurriedly stopped: "Where is it to that point, the dowry of my dowry has not been touched now, where there will be no money." ”
"I heard that the Zhou family was poor, and I thought that you must have to live with your dowry when you got married, but I didn't think that your dowry could not move, so how did you get over these days, you won't be wronged yourself, right? The Zhou family has no opinion? Yun Yao couldn't figure it out, she just knew that the Zhou family was poor so she gave Qi Jinzhi more to marry, and she thought that Qi Jinquan liked Zhou Hongwen according to her. After coming, he must use the dowry to help the Zhou family, but who knows that Qi Jinzhi can only spend the Zhou family's money and not move her things.
Qi Jinzhi smiled: "I can't let people say that Xianggong eats soft rice, I only know the dowry of the daughter-in-law, besides, I'm not stupid, how can I not understand what the dowry means to a woman, I have to look at this dowry carefully, but." I don't want to let myself be wronged. Since I got married, I often went into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, which I was used to doing at home, and there was nothing unsuitable for it. It's also my luck. Hunt some good game and sell it from time to time. I happened to pick some good medicinal herbs and sold them, not only paying off the foreign debts owed by my former minister-in-law. I also lived my life. ”
Yun Yao was relieved when she heard her say this, and then she was very surprised: "Then what are you worried about now?" ”
"Ugh." Qi Jinzhi sighed: "It's not that I'm worried about my eldest sister-in-law, since the second elder is gone, she hasn't eaten or drunk all day long, and she can't be persuaded no matter how she persuades her. ”
"How so?" Yun Yao felt that Zhou Shuying was a little too much, even if she was filial to the old man, she couldn't do this, this person always died, his parents fulfilled their filial piety before death, how to mourn and mourn after he died, the old man sent him away Although he said that he was sad, but who still has to live, where is there such a cheap self for the dead.
"She just felt that she had no face for the things she had done before, and because of these things, she was tired of her father and mother, and she couldn't open up in her heart, no, she still wanted to die." Qi Jinzhi spread his hands: "If it were just herself, I wouldn't feel sorry for her even if she died, but isn't this still my father-in-law implicated, Xianggong feels sorry for his sister, and he can't sleep all night, so I'm not worried." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Jinzhi looked at Yun Yao, grabbed Yun Yao's hand and pleaded: "Good brother and sister, you have always been the most transparent person and the most eloquent, when the guest is gone, you can help me persuade her, no matter what, I have to ask her to eat some food first." ”
Yun Yao is actually not happy to take care of these things, this is not the Qi family's business, how can Zhou Shuying hinder her, but Qi Jinzhi begged like this, she couldn't help but agree, after thinking about it, she finally reluctantly agreed.
The two sisters-in-law talked for a while, and when they heard that someone was coming outside, Qi Jinzhi told Yun Yao about the crime and left the house.
For a while, Yun Yao listened to the crying from the mourning hall outside, and her brain twitched when she heard it.
When it was evening, the people who burned the dusk paper to help were gone, Qi Jinzhi and Zhou Hongwen were busy cleaning up the yard, and Yinzhu also came to help.
Yun Yao saw that everyone else was busy outside, and the two sisters of the Zhou family sat in the room with disgust and couldn't lift their spirits, thinking about what Qi Jinzhi asked for, so they could only bite the bullet.
She used to sit next to Zhou Shuying and pulled her sleeve: "Eldest girl, do you remember me?" ”
Zhou Shuying raised her head, her eyes were in a daze, and from those eyes and her thin and pale face, she could see that this girl was already dead.
"Yes." Zhou Shuying's lips were chapped, and when she spoke, her voice was hoarse as if something was scraping on the sand: "You are the daughter-in-law of Qi Laosi." ”
Yun Yao smiled: "Yes, I really didn't think that our two families could become relatives." ”
Zhou Shuying nodded and responded dryly: "I didn't think about it." ”
Yun Yao frowned, and said in a low voice: "Big girl, the eldest brother-in-law is most worried about you now, you can't see your uncle and aunt who don't eat or drink, you can't see it no matter how sad you are, you have to bring tired living people to suffer with you, and it's not easy for the eldest brother-in-law, let's not talk about how much suffering over the years, now that the second old man is gone, this burden will be pressed on the eldest brother-in-law, I didn't dare to recognize it when I came to see the eldest brother-in-law, how did you say that this person has lost weight like that in just a few days, and his clothes are shaking all over him, You don't feel sorry for you as a sister. ”
Zhou Shuying was still sitting in a daze, but Zhou Xiuying's eyes were a little more lively, she looked at Yun Yao, leaned over and asked softly, "What's wrong with my brother?" ”
Yun Yao sighed: "Your family doesn't have any relatives to help, now that the second elder is gone, isn't the eldest brother-in-law thinking to do the funeral or something, do you think it's so easy to do a funeral, everything has to be taken care of, and there are many villagers to help, taking care of three meals a day, and the eldest brother-in-law is busy every day except for crying." I didn't even have the time to sit down and drink a glass of water, and I had to kneel when I was watching, and at the end of this day, it was good that he didn't fall, but you two of his closest people didn't feel sorry for him at all, just cared about his own sadness, and didn't care about other things at all, and waited, which day the eldest brother-in-law was tired and you didn't know to panic. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shuying was still like that. It's like half dead. Zhou Xiuying came back to her senses, she gritted her teeth, grabbed the water cup, drank a glass of water in one go, and ate another piece of snack. So he jumped out of bed and went out to help.
Yunzhu looked at Zhou Xiuying's back. There was a little more appreciation in his eyes.
Although this girl is a little stubborn. is also capricious, but there is a good thing, she can distinguish the pros and cons. can recognize the situation clearly, and really care and admire Zhou Hongwen from the bottom of his heart.
In view of this, although Zhou Xiuying and Qi Jinzhi said that there were occasional contradictions, they would quarrel, but in the end there would be no major disputes, let alone things that would damage the interests of the Zhou family.
Compared with Zhou Xiuying, Zhou Shuying is much worse, she looks gentle and obedient, but that is only on face, in fact, Zhou Shuying is the most selfish and selfish of the Zhou family, and at the same time, she is also the most heartless and heartless.
Watching Zhou Xiuying go out, Yun Yao had to persuade Zhou Shuying patiently.
It's just that Zhou Shuying is like that, she doesn't pay attention to it, and she is completely trapped in her own inner world.
Yun Yao is so angry.
"What the hell do you think?" Yun Yao gritted her teeth and asked.
Zhou Shuying didn't reply, Yun Yao couldn't help it, and said in her heart that the old lady persuaded you not to eat, this is the rhythm of toasting and not eating and punishing wine, since this is the case, then my aunt and grandmother will fight poison with poison.
Qi Jinzhi and Zhou Hongwen were busy outside, and suddenly they heard a noise in the room, followed by a crisp slap and Yun Yao's angry reprimand.
"You foolish thing, I haven't seen anything more foolish and hateful than you in all these years, well, since you don't want to live anymore, it's better to let me die than starve to death."
Yun Yao slapped Zhou Shuying in the face, she used her strength to eat, and after this slap, half of Zhou Shuying's face was swollen.
After the fight, Yun Yao took a few breaths tiredly: "You are a noble person, you will die if you want to, and you will not shed a single tear if you die, that is, your brother and sister will cry a few times, and after a few days, everyone is also living their own lives, who remembers which onion and garlic you are." ”
Zhou Shuying raised her head, revealing a face that was so white that it was a little distorted: "I don't want to burden them, so it's ......"
"Big sister ......" Zhou Hongwen and Zhou Xiuying rushed in at the same time, just watching Zhou Shuying being beaten like that, and glaring at Yun Yao together.
Yun Yao ignored them, pointed at Zhou Shuying and scolded: "What you said is good, I don't want to bring them tired, is this something you don't want to do if you don't want to, no matter what you say, you are already tired." ”
"Who told you to beat my eldest sister?" Zhou Xiuying wanted to rush over to stop Yun Yao, but before she could move, she was dragged by Qi Jinzhi, Qi Jinzhi dragged Zhou Xiuying with one hand and Zhou Hongwen with the other: "Don't move, eldest sister is afraid that it won't work if you don't do something like this, let's take a look first." ”
Zhou Hongwen took a deep breath and calmed down, and Zhou Xiuying also came back to her senses later.
I saw Yun Yao reach out and grab Zhou Shuying's collar, and turned her head to tell her to look at Zhou Hongwen and Zhou Xiuying: "Can you bear it, can you bear it, don't give a stinky man a few words to deceive and elope with someone, since you are gone, don't go home, what do you think when you leave, I don't know what the reputation of the Zhou family will be lost when you leave?" When you come back, I'm afraid I will think clearly, as soon as you come back, others have to point at the backbone of your father and sister and scold, why did you go at that time, ah, why don't you die, at that time you knew that it was better to die than to live, why do you want to die now. ”
After scolding, as soon as Yun Yao let go, Zhou Shuying fell softly on the bed.
This time, she was no longer dumbfounded, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing this, Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still had to make a vicious appearance: "At the beginning, our family wanted to give you anger as soon as I heard that Bu Dazhuang had his uncle and aunt, and it turned out that the second sister also wanted to take the family and sisters to the Bu family to smash it. (To be continued.) )
PS: Small Theater:
Yun Yao: "Xianggong, bring a knife, since the eldest sister of the Zhou family doesn't want to live anymore, it is better to sharpen the knife for us before she dies." ”
Qi Jing: "Lady, the knife is here." ”
Zhou Shuying: "Wronged, I don't want to die, take away the knife, take away the knife, I just want to threaten my relatives to give me more monthly passes." ”
