Chapter 126
The sudden arrival of Mrs. Lu immediately aroused Mrs. Lu's vigilance, from the time Mrs. Lu entered the courtyard door, she followed the whole process, before she figured out the intention, she was able to endure not to speak and not turn her face, ignoring her black face that was blacker than the bottom of the pot, Mrs. Lu's performance was quite remarkable.
Yulan tore her face with Mrs. Lu at the beginning, but now people don't mention this stubble and comes to the door with a thick face, and she doesn't want to mention it again, and she receives it without being salty.
Lu Xiaoyi guessed that the sudden arrival of Mrs. Lu must be related to the rumors that were boiling for a while, and sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, Lu Xiaoyi's guess was confirmed.
Of course, Yulan also guessed, so when Mrs. Lu spoke, her face did not fluctuate at all.
Mrs. Lu said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, do you know what people in the village say about your family now?" Ouch, it's called an evil door, and those who came to me to inquire about the situation made my family lazy and rotten. ”
Yulan said lightly: "Aunt is here to ask me to pay for the threshold?" ”
Mrs. Lu didn't seem to understand the meaning of Yulan's words, and explained vigorously: "Look at what you said, our family is a family, and it's too late for me to help you drive people away, so how can I ask you to compensate for the threshold." ”
Yulan smiled lightly: "Thank you aunt for bothering!" ”
Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "It's okay to bother, in the past few days, in order to send those daughters-in-law away, my mouth has been dry, and lo and behold, the corners of my mouth are still on fire, and a bunch of small bubbles are rising." After speaking, Mrs. Lu pointed to the corner of her mouth, and sure enough, there were a few small blisters.
Lu Xiaoyi said deliberately: "Grandmother, are you sure you are really angry about our family's affairs?" And not because you gossip too much? ”
Mrs. Lu's lips opened slightly. subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to reprimand Lu Xiaoyi, but gritted his teeth and endured it, floating with an ugly smile, "Our Xiaoyi's unforgiving temperament is really like her grandmother." ”
Mrs. Lu, who had not been talking, said angrily: "My in-laws' granddaughter is not like me, can I go like you?" What are you talking about all this nonsense? Just say which women with itchy mouths and sore tongues are croaking in front of you, and I will help them scratch their mouths and pull out their tongues. ”
No matter how stupid Mrs. Lu is, she will not confess those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who are close to her, she just wants to sell Yulan a good one today, to find out if her family has really made a lot of money, and by the way, she asked for a copy of the scone recipe. It just so happened that my daughter-in-law's mother's house opened a grocery store. They roasted it at home and sold it in a grocery store.
Mrs. Lu talked to Mrs. Lu all the time, and sneered: "Look at what you said, I scolded these daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who chewed the root of the tongue and went out a long time ago, where do I need you to take action." Besides. No one in our village knows who doesn't. As soon as you make a move, you will not scold two sentences, apologize and say good things, or lose money to avoid disasters! Ay! The villagers will be retributed for doing too much. ”
Mrs. Lu stood up with a swish. was about to open fire with Mrs. Lu, but Lu Xiaoyi grabbed her hand and pulled it down, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly, shut up and sat back in place.
Mrs. Lu felt that she had the upper hand, and she was a little proud, so she turned to Yulan and said: "We are all relatives of the Lu family, and you also have a good relationship with your aunt, is it true that those village women passed it on?" ”
Yulan pretended to be confused, "Auntie, what are those village women preaching?" You've said so much, and you haven't made it clear! ”
Mrs. Lu said, "Don't be angry when you hear it. ”
Yulan replied lightly: "What's so angry, I want to live a few more years when I'm angry and hurt!" ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's mainly rumored that your family has made a lot of money, opened three big shops in the city, hired a group of dart masters to help sell cakes, and delivered goods to the city in two or three cars a day, tsk, it is rumored that you can earn ten taels of silver a day!"
Mrs. Lu scolded: "Fart, you are a pig's head, my son has to earn ten taels of silver a day, do you still need to work in the field?" Does my daughter-in-law still need smoky scones? Can you think of something serious with your pig's head? ”
Mrs. Lu scolded back: "A pig's head is better than putting in your head!" ”
Mrs. Lu was about to burst out again, Lu Xiaoyi grabbed her again, not because she was kind enough to persuade her, but because she didn't know the purpose of Mrs. Lu's coming, and wait and see again, seeing that Yulan was steady and didn't speak, she should think the same way.
Mrs. Lu angrily shook off Lu Xiaoyi's hand, and finally sat down.
Mrs. Lu secretly thought that Yulan must want to find something out of her mouth, otherwise she would not let Xiao Yi pull Mrs. Lu frequently, no matter what, let Mrs. Lu eat twice in a row, Mrs. Lu felt good about herself, and then said to Yulan: "And what! He also said that on the day of the opening of your shop, the best restaurant in the city rented the entire second floor, and the table was full of good meat, and the good wine was on the altar. ”
"Anything else?"
"Yes, and what's more, I also said that you went to the largest Fuxi Buzhuang in the city after eating, and the cloth and donkey carts you bought couldn't fit or they were sent back by Fuxi Buzhuang!"
Not only Lu Xiaoyi, but even Mrs. Lu was stunned, Lu Xiaoyi had to admire the creative ability of those long-tongued women, and the things of chasing after the wind and shadows were just the way, as if they had seen and heard with their own eyes.
Yulan had heard Sister-in-law Hua mention it, so she could still keep her face unchanged, and asked lightly: "That's all?" ”
Mrs. Lu exclaimed: "This is still less, your family has been said to be like this, you are still stable, I really don't know if you have a big heart or really make a lot of money!" ”
Yulan got up, "My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are still making cakes in the back, I have been delaying for a long time, and I can't help it, if my aunt has nothing else to do, I will be busy." ”
Mrs. Lu also urged her: "Hurry up, it's better to make a few more cakes than to waste this lot of tongues!" I'll leave it to me here, while Xiaofeng is taking a nap here, I'll have a good chat with my sister-in-law. ”
Yulan smiled, "There's Lao Niang, I'll go to the backyard." Yulan was about to leave, but was pulled by Mrs. Lu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, nephew, I still have something to say about sitting for a while!" ”
After talking nonsense for a long time, she finally wanted to say the purpose of this trip, and Yulan sat back in her place and waited for the following.
Mrs. Lu coughed twice, and said cheekily: "Our two families are relatives of each other, just like two melons on a vine, the blood and roots are all connected, and now that your family has made money, I am really happy for you." After speaking, he looked at Yulan, and saw that she was listening carefully without speaking, and the words in his heart couldn't wait to jump out, "The family doesn't talk to the two families, my aunt told you clearly, your cousin-in-law's family also runs a grocery store, and I want to sell your scones!" ”
Yulan said with a smile: "Aunt, it's not that my nephew and daughter-in-law are unhappy, but our family has signed a contract with the dart bureau, which is clearly written in white and black, and our cakes can only be used exclusively for his family. ”
Mrs. Lu only took Yulan as a prevarication, and was resentful, "Tsk, sell a cake and sign a deed, isn't it that you were deceived by that dart master, why didn't you call your uncle in the first place, and he will not be deceived if you have him to help you interrogate!" ”
Magnolia didn't bother to explain to her, bowed her head and didn't speak.
Mrs. Lu's wife didn't work in one move and made two moves, "Forget it, since you have signed the deed, there are constraints, and I won't embarrass you, or you will teach your aunt to scone cakes, and I will bake and sell them at your cousin-in-law's grocery store, so that you can not violate the deed, but also help the big house." ”
After speaking, he sang a bitter play, "You also know the situation of the big house, there is an old lady to raise, and the four grandchildren below are going to marry, your uncle and cousin only study all day long and do not produce, and the family has to use money everywhere, that little savings can only be seen but not rising, seeing that life can't go on, you can help us!" ”
Although the purpose of Mrs. Lu's words is not pure, the content is true, and she is full of tears, which is very touching.
Yulan's heart was a little sour, but when she thought of the purpose behind Mrs. Lu's son-in-law, she was a little angry, saying that she was a relative of her relatives, but what she did was the outermost outsider, and the scone business she did was also a recipe from the surplus grain, not something she could give, even if it was her family's recipe, so blatantly coming to the door to ask for it, it was clearly relying on the identity of her relatives to do what the outermost outsiders did.
No, some outsiders can't do such a thing, just take Sister-in-law Hua, who has helped so far, she hasn't asked a word about the baking recipe, even if she is personally involved, and she hasn't spread the news that the Lu family is baking cakes in the dirt pit. There are also Lu Lian and Wang Dongmei, relatives who are closer than Mrs. Lu, who have helped so far, and have not asked for a recipe to start a new stove, let alone Mrs. Lu, her mind is not on the baking cake at all, even if she separates the family, she did not force Yulan to tell her the recipe for the baking cake.
Thinking of this, Yulan smiled lightly: "Auntie, if you don't like to hear something, in the past few years, you didn't see our rural relatives who ate and drank spicy food in the city, but now when you return to the village, you can't pull down the face of the scholars, and you don't want to take back the good fields and cultivate them yourself, how much grain can you share if you rent it to others?" Uncle and cousin have ink in their stomachs, open a private museum to teach, don't say too much, you can mix up the daily expenses, and you and your cousin-in-law raise pigs and chickens and a variety of vegetables, you don't have to buy eggs, you don't need to buy vegetables, and you can earn a few taels of silver by selling pigs at the end of the year...... Hehe, keep your savings to say goodbye to your grandchildren, what's not going on? ”
If you don't work hard, don't blame others for not taking pity on you, Yulan's words made Mrs. Lu speechless, her face was red, Lu Xiaoyi secretly shouted for Yulan, you have to deal with such a person, didn't you say that your family can't live a good life? Then I will kindly give you some mention, help you live your life, and look at the four or two thousand catties, without talking about the scone recipe, I will throw the problem to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu is also happy in her heart, her vision of Yulan is a little different, in previous years, she looked down on this daughter-in-law, and always felt that if she didn't make trouble, she would not be able to make a climate, but now her daughter-in-law said that Mrs. Lu was ashamed and embarrassed, and she felt more energetic than her and Mrs. Lu's verbal war! It seems that the usual way of killing a thousand enemies and self-damage and eight hundred has to be changed, after all, it is still very difficult to be noisy!
Mrs. Lu smiled and said to Yulan: "The second daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the Hua family are still busy behind, you can hurry up and take a look, just leave it to me here." ”
Yulan nodded, and turned around and walked out of the house when Mrs. Lu's face was red, leaving Mrs. Lu, Lu Xiaoyi and Mrs. Lu staring at each other. (To be continued......)
