Mrs. Chen is a country woman, and her daily life is nothing more than arranging meals at home and dispatching some trivial chores in the house. This kind of life is dull and boring, so Mrs. Chen's only hobby is rubbing her daughter-in-law.

When the family was not separated before, the daughter-in-law who was picked by her on the tip of the needle was Li, and the daughter-in-law who held it in the palm of her hand was Zhao. Now that the Li family is gradually out of her control, Mrs. Chen feels more and more that her inner house control is being challenged, so the Zhao family, who came back from Xuzhou Mansion, hit the muzzle of the gun.

According to Chen Xuejiao's opinion, Mrs. Chen doesn't love any daughter-in-law, she only loves herself, and her daughters-in-law, including Zhao's, are all rafts in her inner house.

Old Lady Chen stared at Zhao with slanted eyelids, without saying a word, staring at Zhao all over her body.

Chen Xuemiao and Chen Qilin saw that Zhao knelt down, and they also knelt down together. Xue Miao looked up and saw Xue Jiao standing next to the door curtain, with a playful expression, rolled her eyes at her, pointed at her and said, "What are you doing in our house, don't get out quickly." ”

Chen Xuejiao glanced at Chen Xuemiao lightly, but instead of going out, she moved from the curtain to the house. Seeing Mrs. Chen sitting on the chair with a steady posture, it must be the rhythm of a storm coming.

Chen Xuejiao did not sympathize with the tearful Zhao family at all. The Zhao family has bad water in his stomach, and now that his son has been hit by the case again, seeing that the Li family is not high-headed, he may say something unpleasant.

The news of Chen Xiucai's shipwreck came last time, and all Xuzhou Mansion knew about it. The Zhao family naturally got the news in Xuzhou Mansion, not only did they not care about the family affection of the concubine and sent people to comfort the Li family, but also drove out Qi An, who went to send the news. It's chilling. didn't even bother to do superficial work, and broke all the contradictions with the big house.

Chen Xuejiao was most afraid that the Zhao family would come back, provoke Mrs. Chen, and make the entire Chen family compound have no place to live.

Chen Xuemiao saw that Chen Xuejiao did not avoid it, but walked into the room more and more, stretched out her finger and pointed at Chen Xuejiao, her face flushed with anger.

"Milk. Have a cup of tea. Chen Xuejiao picked up the hot tea that Caicai Zhao's maid Cui'er had placed on the table, and held it with her own hands and gave it to Mrs. Chen.

Chen Xuemiao's face turned white.

"You're a good eyer." Old Mrs. Chen's face softened, and she took the tea in Xue Jiao's hand. I went down half a cup in one breath, and I was going to scold the second daughter-in-law for a while, why don't you moisten your throat first.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law knows it's wrong. Spare your daughter-in-law. Zhao softened first.

has been begging for so many years of life under Mrs. Chen. After all, Zhao knows the essence of her mother-in-law's temperament, and knows that she likes to pamper her daughter-in-law in front of her daughter-in-law the most.

Thinking of this, Zhao's eyes sparkled when he looked at Cui'er, so frightened that Cui'er let Chen Xuejiao withdraw from the house, walked to the door and accidentally knocked down a dustpan, and the sound of "bang" made Zhao's body shake for no reason.

Mrs. Chen finished her tea. Swing the score, slowly speak. But he turned to Chen Qilin: "You get up, your mother made a mistake, and she can't complain about you, look at you kneeling, where is the head of the case." ”

Chen Qilin knelt on Zhao's side, lowered his head, the gloom in his eyes flashed, and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen and said: "The grandson who said the milk didn't dare not listen, but the grandson had a few words to say, and the mother went to grandma's house as soon as she came back from Xuzhou Mansion, it was really a hardship, grandma was sick, and my mother, as a daughter, couldn't ignore it, even if my mother was wrong, but for the sake of my mother's filial piety, spare her." ”

This remark was not leaky, and Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but glance at Qi Lin a few times. Zhao was originally crying with his eyes lowered, but when he heard his son trying his best to defend himself, he couldn't help but raise his head, and his tears were hazy: "Qi Lin......"

Mrs. Chen saw that her precious grandson not only didn't listen to her words, but also knelt on the ground to intercede with Zhao.

The strange Zhao family, who has always been obedient, dared not to put her mother-in-law in her eyes, it turned out that she had a son to support her, she relied on her son to win the case, and praised herself as the first hero of the Chen family, and her waist became more and more stiff and straight.

Mrs. Chen put the teacup on the table, pointed at the Zhao family and scolded: "Dirty embryo, the daughter of the Zhao family, sent to our Chen family as a daughter-in-law, not to say that she did not abide by the rules of the Chen family, she turned her elbow outward, licked her face and ran to the Zhao family's conspicuous place, I don't know the truth, I think our Chen family has divorced you, you have the ability, don't come back, you just stay in the Zhao family for fifteen." ”

Mrs. Chen and her entourage shouted Chen Zichang's name outside the courtyard, shouting to send the Zhao family back to Zhao's house. I think Mrs. Chen just scared the Zhao family, because Chen Zichang has been home every day, and now he doesn't know where to be happy.

The three of Zhao's mother and son paused when they heard this, and raised their eyes to look at Mrs. Chen, not wanting her to give Qi Lin such face. Zhao has never been a stupid person, and after thinking about it, he understands that Mrs. Chen is most afraid that her daughter-in-law will be arrogant in front of her mother-in-law because of her grandson's success, Qi Lin is okay if she doesn't plead, but she is afraid that after pleading, Mrs. Chen will be even more angry.

Mrs. Chen has made it clear one by one, she just wants to use the Zhao family as a pawn, that is, she deliberately puts her daughter-in-law's face in front of the grandson of the head of the case.

Zhao's heart was uncomfortable, like a salted fish boiling in a hot pot, heated on both sides, and the pain was heartbreaking.

She did rely on Qi Lin to take the first exam, thinking that she was dominant in the Chen family's compound, and she lived a life like a rich grandmother in Xuzhou Mansion, so she didn't look at the Chen family in her eyes, and even forgot that there was a mother-in-law on her head.

After understanding, Zhao changed his face, kowtowed and said: "Mother, you can beat or scold you, and your daughter-in-law has no complaints." This is not Qi Lin's business, the reason why Qi Lin said that just now was confused. ”

"Second daughter-in-law, you have lived a good life in Xuzhou Mansion, but you have forgotten your book, and you are vicious. One of my good eldest grandsons, who took the first exam, was taken by you all the time, why did you do that. Why do you still have the face to come to the Chen family, don't think that Qi Lin has taken the first exam, it is all your credit. This is the root of our Chen family. Just rely on your Zhao family, people have been using pig-killing knives for several lifetimes, and they can come up with a case leader and wait for eight lifetimes of reincarnation. The more Mrs. Chen scolded, the more energetic she became, and she turned around and greeted the ancestors of the Zhao family.

Zhao didn't stop kowtowing, Qi Lin stood aside with gloomy eyes, and just wanted to say something, but was pulled by Zhao: "Mother is right." It's because I don't know how thick the sky is, and I won't dare to be in the future, so I beg my mother not to drive me back to my parents' house for the holidays. Otherwise, how can the daughter-in-law behave as a person. ”

"How do you behave? When you come back from Xuzhou Mansion, you run back to your parents' house first, and stay for a few days, why don't you take the test of being a person, you can't even do your duty as a daughter-in-law. You're still thinking about being human. Old Lady Chen's voice was high and low. It's like a knife rubbing, and the ear of the person who cuts it hurts.

Zhao opened her mouth to defend herself, but Mrs. Chen didn't give her a chance, only to hear her nod her fingers at Zhao's mistakes as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "Look at how many mistakes you have made, as a daughter-in-law, you don't serve your mother-in-law at home, and you stretch your legs and run to Xuzhou Mansion to enjoy happiness; As a person in the second house, you don't want to persuade the second child well, and let him drink and empty his body; As Qi Lin's mother. You don't want to mention your son, but let him fight with me, an old generation. I think. Don't be in Chen's house, hurry back to Lao Zhao's house, I carried you into the door with eight sedan chairs, and now I also carry eight sedan chairs to send you out. ”

Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand, slapped her face, and put all the charges on Zhao. Chen Xuejiao saw Zhao's face change from red to white, and from white to green, and she couldn't help but sympathize with her in her heart, Mrs. Chen's mouth would turn black and white upside down, and put the fault that was not Zhao's on her.

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family is not good, and she offended Mrs. Chen, even if she used to hold it on the tip of her heart, she would personally step into the stinky ditch.

Hearing this, Chen Xuejiao didn't want to watch this big show anymore, and quietly walked out.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard the sound of breaking the tea bowl in the upper room, but I was afraid that Mrs. Chen was angry and hit the teacup.

It's already time to hold the lights, and tomorrow is the August Festival, and the items for the festival at home have already been prepared. Milky white grapes, watermelons from Yingchuan, pears from Mangdang, moon cakes brought by Chen Xiucai from the south, and all kinds of melon seed cakes are all placed in the house, just waiting for the moon to be admired tomorrow night.

Today, Qi An followed Mrs. Chen to the Wang family to visit relatives, and Qingyu brought the new lotus root this autumn.

At this time, Li was busy in the pot house with Xueru and Jinghao, and Xuejiao walked in and saw that they were frying lotus root clips.

This was originally a dish that the Li family often made in the autumn of previous years, the lotus root was sold cheaply in the autumn, and the pork skin was bought, the pork was chopped into a dumpling, and then mixed with a little shrimp skin, sandwiched two pieces of lotus root, wrapped in flour, fried out of golden and fragrant, and relieved hunger and hunger. In the past, when the family had no money, Li did this to give Xue Jiao a few to eat, and the lotus root was fried and crispy, and Xue Jiao could eat two large bowls alone, adding up to a knot as long as her arm.

As soon as the fragrant lotus root clip came out of the pot, it was still steaming, Chen Xuejiao stuck one and stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it, and couldn't stop boasting: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

"Be careful of burning you, too much, eat slowly." Xue Ru handed over a bowl of warm mung bean soup, and Xue Jiao drank a big bowl with Xue Ru's hand.

Suddenly, Zhao's cry came from the upper room, although he tried his best to suppress it, but the entire Chen family compound was such an idea, and it was difficult to spread it.

"Your grandmother is grinding your second aunt again." Li sighed while wrapping the lotus root clip.

Xue Jiao said about the matter of going to the room while eating lotus roots, Li Shi paused, and said: "We can't control the affairs of the upper room, don't listen to their affairs in the future, anyway, it won't hinder our affairs in this room." ”

Xue Jiao stuck out her tongue, Qi Ping happened to come in, and when she saw that the lotus root was drooling, the mother and daughter stopped talking.

Qi Ping came over to tell Xue Jiao interesting things in school while eating lotus roots, and when he talked about the matter of Mu Xiu on August 15 tomorrow, he jumped and jumped with excitement.

There was a happy scene in the pot house.

Suddenly, the oil lamp in the house flashed, and Chen Xuejiao raised her head and saw a tall man in black standing at the door of the pot house, and took a closer look at it was the eldest brother of the Zhao family, Zhao Butcher.

“…… It's so fragrant, what kind of food is cooking, sister-in-law. Butcher Zhao greeted him with a grin.

"Uncle, what about fried lotus root clips." Although Li didn't like Butcher Zhao, he coped with a few words for the sake of face.

"The eldest brother is not here, I heard that the eldest brother has come back from the south, and I have always wanted to come and see, but I can't be idle, so I will invite the eldest brother to my place for a drink." Butcher Zhao raised the meat in his hand and said happily.

Chen Xuejiao's face sank, usually when the family was poor, I didn't see him call Chen Xiucai a big brother, but now that Chen Xiucai has been sent outside, he began to show another face, and it was disgusting that he didn't come.

Chen Xiucai came with the news of the shipwreck, Mrs. Chen asked the Li family to remarry, and Zhao Butcher and his wife instigated a lot in the back, and even the matchmaker was found by Zhao Butcher.

"Uncle Zhao is here to see the second aunt, the upper room is there, don't go to the wrong place." Chen Xuejiao unceremoniously pointed to the upper room.

Butcher Zhao didn't care, and smiled sideways: "Sister-in-law, I'll go see my cousin and my sister-in-law first." ”

"What a shame." Waiting for Butcher Zhao to step into the door of the upper room, Chen Xuejiao spit behind her back.

…….

Old man Chen came back from the village house, seeing the crying of Zhao's cloak, Mrs. Chen scolded angrily, although he was also unhappy that his daughter-in-law came back from Xuzhou Mansion and went to her mother's house first, but because Zhao was Qi Lin's mother-in-law, and it was under the big festival, he endured his anger and scolded Mrs. Chen and relieved the siege for Zhao.

When Butcher Zhao walked into the upper room with the meat, the upper room was lighting the lamp. He didn't want to come to the Chen family, so he made an appointment with a few friends who killed pigs to drink together, how could he stand up to Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao knew that her daughter's actions were wrong, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed by her mother-in-law when she arrived at the Chen family, so she sent her son to the Chen family with meat to make amends.

Although the anger in Mrs. Chen's heart did not disappear, when she heard Mrs. Zhao's words of apology, she became proud again, and when she saw a few catties of fat and thin meat in Butcher Zhao's hand, her anger was half gone.

Butcher Zhao sat down in the upper room for a while and left, Chen Xuejiao brought a large bowl of lotus root clips to the upper room, and opened the curtain to hit Butcher Zhao.

"Big niece, I heard that your father has made a fortune, look at your clothes, you can't find a duplicate in Baitu Town." Butcher Zhao had nothing to say.

Chen Xuejiao ignored it and put the lotus root clip in front of Old Man Chen.

Before the meal in the upper room was ready, Mrs. Chen looked at the lotus root and began to rise again, of course, this anger was not because of the Li family, but because of the Zhao family.

immediately walked into Zhao's house, and said in a loud voice: "Don't stand up on the bed, you hurry up, change your clothes, and go to cook in a pot." ”

Zhao was washing his face, and when he heard this, he had to remove the hairpin ring.

"Also, your maid is not allowed to help you, you cook by yourself." After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Shi fiercely, and then stared at Zhang Shi who was standing on the side, "You go and show me your second sister-in-law, if she is a little lazy, you will sue me." (To be continued......)
