Chapter 182: Ruthless
"Old man, the boss's life is not good, he was stabbed last fall, I'm afraid that the king of Hades will recruit him to go." Mrs. Chen saw her youngest son being beaten and knew that Mr. Chen was angry.
She said this confusingly, in the end, she was the stepmother, she knew that she should make a sad look at this time, but the joy in her heart couldn't be covered, and she revealed her heart with one mouth.
Wen Ying got the news and rushed over, thinking that she was born without a mother when she beat her mother, her sister died last year, and now her brother is gone again, guarding Li and her nephews and nieces and crying again, and came to the upper room to see Old Man Chen.
Wen Ying is really sad, she has a stepmother and a stepfather, and she grew up with her brothers and sisters one foot deep and one foot shallow. When she was a child, she knew that her brother was the only seedling in the family, a man, and her sister tried her best to let him study, and she had to eat anything delicious with her brother. In her heart, her brother is more important than her father, he is heaven and earth. Although she has now married and given birth to two children, her brother is still her backbone, and with her brother, she has a family to rely on, and now that her brother is gone, she suddenly feels that the sky has fallen.
As soon as she entered the door of the upper room, she ushered in Mrs. Chen's nonsense, she used all her strength to knock Mrs. Chen open, grabbed Old Man Chen's clothes and cried: "Brother is gone, Dad, Dad!" ”
Old Man Chen's face was purple from phlegm, and he glared at Mrs. Chen fiercely, and when he saw Wen Ying coming in, he held her hand and exhaled with her strength. Wen Ying knew that her father was really sad, and poured a bowl of cold water while crying.
A few mouthfuls of cold water were poured into Old Man Chen's mouth, and he gradually eased his breath, trembling Suo Suo and holding Wen Ying's hand, and wanted to go to the North Wing to see the Li family and his grandchildren, and said to Old Mrs. Chen when he went out: "You don't treat the three of them as your own children." The eldest is dead, Qi An is the eldest son, and when the hundred days pass, let him be the head of the Chen family. ”
Mrs. Chen's mind seemed to explode a series of artillery battles, and the sky and the ground collapsed. She has been in the Chen family for so many years and has given birth to four children before and after, not counting the two who died halfway. thought that in the future, the Chen family would belong to her and her son and grandson. In an instant, it was all empty.
If Qi An set up the door, it would be confirmed from the root that Dafang was the head of the entire family, and from then on, the old couple would never care about anything again. Both the family and the outside have to listen to Qi An, and her sons and grandsons have to beg for a living from the children in the big house.
A ruthless old thing, she married him as a yellow flower girl, and she has not been dedicated to him all these years. Bear children for him, and take care of the household affairs for him. Without her, this family might be as sloppy as a pigsty.
said that she didn't treat the children born in front of her as her own children, and he was full of thoughts about the Liu family in front of him, if the Liu family was replaced by her. Nor will she treat her children as if they were her own. As a stepmother, she thinks that her heart is soft enough, although she does not support Xiucai's reading. But it didn't stop Wen Xiu and Wen Ying from getting married. Which one is not her to come forward. She has also seen those rotten stepmothers, forcing the daughters who came out of the front to be the concubines of the half-hundred old men, if they were to have such a stepmother, they would still allow three children to live until now.
I didn't think that all these years I looked at Mr. Chen and her heart, but in the end it was the flowers in the moon mirror in the water, and he didn't care about those good things, and when he died, he only thought about the child born to the Liu family in front of him.
Old Mrs. Chen watched Wen Ying carry Old Man Chen out of the threshold, gritted her teeth fiercely, wiped her tears and cried: "Ruthless old thing, you actually ignore Qi Lin, the same grandson, how can you only stand up Qi An?" said that I don't regard Xiucai as my own children, blind and struck by lightning, as big as starting a family, as small as four seasons clothes, shoes and socks, which point I don't prepare is complete and proper. Even the four children born to me after that, I have never been so careful. ”
The more Mrs. Chen spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, there were still three points of falsehood, but she had four points of sincerity when she peeled off herself, and tears flowed down in strings.
Mrs. Chen didn't say that it was okay, but her eyes turned red a few times when she said this. Speaking of clothes and shoes and socks in the four seasons, the winter clothes looked thick, and they were all stuffed with reed flowers, and they shivered when they were frozen. If it weren't for her, Wen Xiu would be able to marry Wang Baozhu, who was not successful and was finally tortured to death, that is, Wen Ying's in-laws, she was also carefully selected, if it weren't for the matchmaker who couldn't look at it and deliberately said that Zheng Huozi was unbearable, maybe she could marry Wen Ying to the man who made the next work.
"The sky is blue, you say these words, you are not afraid of boils in your throat and rotting inside." Wen Ying thought of her dead brother and unceremoniously tore off the veil of hypocrisy of Old Lady Chen.
Zhang was moving Mr. Chen's jar of pear blossom brew out, Mrs. Chen's eyes swished across her face like a knife, her frightened neck shrank, and she slipped out of the courtyard, pulling the sleeve of the mourning soldier and asking, "Are you sure she is really dead?" ”
The mourning soldier took a sip of wine, looked at Zhang's smiling face, and felt disdain. Just now in the north wing, surrounded by people on the third floor and the third floor outside, I listened to a circle of words and understood the affairs of this family. I only felt that the stepmother and daughter-in-law of this family were ruthless, and he went to many homes every day to report the funeral, and none of them heard that anyone died and was happy. Thinking about the big house, the four children like shallots, I sighed in my heart.
Seeing that the soldiers refused to speak, it was not enough to entertain her, she was scolded by Mrs. Chen every day these days, and wanted to ask about Chen Xiucai's death so that she could ask for a favor in front of her mother-in-law, so she went into the upper room and opened the lock of Mrs. Chen, and brought out two plates of fruit.
The soldiers who reported the funeral ate the fruit, and scolded in their hearts: "Although I didn't see anyone, but the water as deep as the Qiantang River fell into it and didn't die and fed the fish, and the Xuzhou Mansion issued an official document, and I received a letter this morning, four or five boats out of the Xuzhou Mansion sank, and the family reported the funeral on this day." ”
Zhang's brain was not bright, and when he heard the news, he snorted: "It can be regarded as my mother's intention!" ”
The people in the courtyard haven't dispersed yet, and the Zhang family is so nonsense, I don't know if it's really stupid or fake. This was not said by Mrs. Chen, and it was also what she meant when it fell into the eyes of everyone at this time.
Who doesn't know that Mrs. Chen, the stepmother, did the heart-wrenching things to the children in front of her, and the woman who was good friends with the Li family pursed her lips and discussed: "It's really a death to say this, there are gods three feet above the head, and the Bodhisattvas above are all watching, and I really don't know if I will go to hell after dying in the future, I really don't know whether to go down to the eighteenth floor or just build a nineteenth floor to pretend to her." ”
There are people in the courtyard who don't know about the Chen family's family affairs. But no, Xiucai's death is as Mrs. Chen wants, and there is no man in the big house to support her now, so I don't know what kind of miserable situation it has fallen into.
Zhang's words reached Mrs. Chen's ears, and she was still in the upper room to argue with Old Man Chen, she had to be more faceless when she was older, and she kept her mind in her heart, even if everyone knew it, as long as no one said it, she would not be afraid. But once you say it, it's like the pus head has been punctured, and you can't keep it. Mrs. Chen slapped her face: "." But if I want to die, if I have this idea, the thunder will come down and kill me. ”
Old Man Chen was dizzy and held Wen Ying's hand. Mrs. Chen's weeping confession, he couldn't listen to it. In his previous life, he hardened his heart and closed his eyes to ignore the three children in front of him, all these years. Mrs. Chen seems to be living with him with one heart, but when she is old, she still earns a high and low with the dead in front of her.
What is she like to the children born by the Liu family. He knew very well in his heart, he didn't want to care, just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life.
I thought that Mrs. Chen would have a stronger temperament, but she didn't expect her to plan for the death of her eldest son. This is dead, and her son Chen Zichang is the eldest son in the family.
Old Man Chen went to the North Wing, and Old Mrs. Chen stood dry for a while. Ignoring the chatter of the neighbors in the yard, he went to the door of the pot house and called Zhang out. Zhang knew that his words just now were just brains and were listened to by Mrs. Chen. trembling, he followed Mrs. Chen into the upper room, grinning and before she could open her mouth to reveal the news that Chen Xiucai was dead, she was slapped by Mrs. Chen and slapped to the ground.
"People all over the yard, you chew maggots in your mouth, shameless dead prostitute." Mrs. Chen pointed her finger at Zhang's forehead and scolded. Zhang was beaten by her, and since she beat Zhao and went to the city, Mrs. Chen scolded her several times every day, but she never beat her, and now she hit that heavy hand for the boss's affairs. Zhang covered his face and was scolded, so he immediately replied: "I said what my mother was thinking, why did you beat me?" ”
Mrs. Chen clutched her chest and tightened her breath, thinking of the Zhao family at this time, if she was at home, why let the Zhang family say those words that made everyone poke their backbones: "Who told you to say that?" You're still happy, our whole family is Chen Qi'an's. ”
Zhang got up from the ground in fright and slapped him: "Will the clan agree?" You have three sons. She reacted at this time, in the past, she helped the Zhao family and Mrs. Chen how to deal with the big house, everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, begging for a living in the hands of Chen Qi'an, if he didn't care about the previous things, it would be okay, if he thought about it, it was possible to open the ancestral hall to punish her and the Zhao family.
"How can this be done, won't the whole family return to the big house, isn't Qi Lin the eldest son?" Zhang stood up and spun around for half a circle, brushing his loose hair.
"The eldest son? In his heart, Chen Qi'an is, you are howling here now, and the things in our house will be Chen Qi'an's in the future. Mrs. Chen half gasped, picked up a cup of herbal tea from the table and poured it into her stomach.
Mrs. Chen held the teacup and thought about it, Old Man Chen wanted to make up for everything he owed to his son on his grandson. Although the Chen family does not have much family background, they also have a large yard and thirty acres of land, all of which are given to the big house, and a large number of them drink the northwest wind.
Last time, Chen Xiucai was stabbed, and Old Man Chen's sadness was still in front of him, and he didn't see him crying when he was beaten half to death. Now that the Li family dragged the child and really became an orphan and widow, he didn't empty half of his family to them.
"Mother, I see that my sister-in-law is young, can she keep it? Even if she wants to guard, the people of the Li family are willing? Anyway, Xiucai is dead, so it's better to persuade my sister-in-law to remarry. Zhang rubbed his face and said.
This incident is in line with Mrs. Chen's thoughts, she is also afraid that the Li family will pull the four children to cry sadly in front of the patriarch, if she really gives all the family property to Chen Qi'an, there will be no room for turnaround.
Mrs. Chen lowered her head and pondered for a while, rubbed her eyes, patted her thighs and cried. This time, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to coax Old Man Chen, he is all focused on the dead ghost, everything she says is wrong, if you stabilize the Li family first, the Li family is easy to handle, and the dead man is only afraid that the six gods will have no owner. She went to talk about her willingness to remarry and keep her four children at home, and she could handle it as she wanted. Chen Qi'an is old, but no one can stand the coaxing, and in the past two years, she told him about the family affairs she can see, and she can't hold him if she catches her granddaughter-in-law.
The most tricky thing is Chen Xuejiao's dead girl, I'm afraid that she will come to a fish and die in the net, so I'm not afraid, without her father and mother to take care of her, she will live or die, even if she is in school, she can't blame her if she dies.
The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more proud she became, there were still people watching outside, she couldn't be too proud, she rushed into the north wing room with tears, and slapped her face and howled: "My poor son! (To be continued)
