Chapter 41: Conflict
Xue Jiao sat on the small pestle next to Li and chatted with everyone.
Talking about Cai Jiujin's banquet, Li was very happy to know that the tea eggs made by Xuejiao were welcomed.
“…… I gave my uncle five hangings as wages, and my uncle gave me two hangings. Xue Jiao raised her face and said happily.
"You kid, how can you ask for your uncle's money." Li was disgusted, "Your aunt and uncle have always loved you and helped the family a lot, so hurry up and return the money to your uncle." ”
Lee was always kind.
Xue Jiao smiled and changed the topic and said: "Everyone says that the tea eggs I make are delicious, just because of the tea eggs, some people book my uncle's flowing water banquet in advance." ”
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "You can't take it big, people book your uncle's flowing water banquet, that's because your uncle's craftsmanship is good, and it's because of your tea eggs." ”
"Sister, we only ate two tea eggs in total, or taste them separately, can you cook them after you make money, so I can eat enough." Qi Ping walked up to Xue Jiao, twisting the candy as if it was touching her.
Xue Jiao pinched Qi Ping's cute little face and said dotingly: "Yes, yes, let you eat enough." ”
Thinking that someone came to the house to buy tea eggs just now, Xue Jiao planned to cook more this time, her own eggs were the lifeblood of Mrs. Chen, so she could only go to other people's houses in the village to buy some.
Xue Ru and Jing were embroidering insoles, and when they heard that Xue Jiao was going to boil more tea eggs, they said with a smile: "I haven't been to grandma's house for a long time, let's cook some and bring them to grandma." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud bang in the upper room, and then Mrs. Chen's shout spread throughout the courtyard.
"I'm going to kill someone, I'm going to kill someone."
Li's eyebrows jumped, and he stood up and was about to walk to the upper room.
Xue Jiao stopped Li and said, "Mother, I'll go to see the specific situation first, don't go yet." ”
Li hesitated for a moment, suddenly thought of what Zhao said that day, his heart became cold, and he sat on the chair and twisted the embroidery needle again.
Xue Jiao was relieved to see Li sit down again, so she quietly slipped into the upper room with Qi Ping, opened the curtain and secretly looked inside.
The house was in a mess, it turned out that the uncle of the Zhao family overturned the table, the cup rolled to the ground, the tea splashed, and the porcelain pieces were shattered.
The uncle of the Zhao family glared angrily, and Mrs. Chen protected Chen Zichang with her arm.
"As long as my brother-in-law compensates my sister-in-law, I can't do this, how can I rest assured that my sister-in-law will stay in the Chen family." Uncle Zhao rolled up his sleeves, and the black tattoo on his arm looked scary.
"We are in-laws, and we are separated by a layer of relatives, how can you say that Qi Lin's milk is your cousin, what kind of system do you shout in front of your elders like this." Old Man Chen couldn't help but reprimand the uncle of the Zhao family.
"Cousin-in-law, I'm just this sister-in-law, you begged to marry me back then, but now I am only allowed to do that unseemly thing, and I am not allowed to seek justice for my sister-in-law?" Uncle Zhao said viciously.
"What do you say, it's up to you, okay, it's okay to let the chief compensate Qi Lin and his mother, as long as you don't make trouble." Old man Chen felt sorry for his son, and he was afraid that the uncle of the Zhao family would slap him in his temper, so how could Chen Zichang stop it, so he slowed down and said.
Chen Zichang closed his eyes and stopped humming. He was angry in his heart, he was a big man and still had to compensate a woman, where was there such a reason. What's wrong with doing shameless things yourself, which man doesn't want to go to Fireworks Alley, and others don't have the ability to go. If he bowed his head to a woman, it would be more shameful than being beaten in Fireworks Alley.
Chen Zichang glanced at Mrs. Chen, and her swollen eyes, which were gradually becoming swollen, were blinked fiercely by the uncle of the Zhao family. Knowing her son's mother, Mrs. Chen knows her son's thoughts.
"How can there be a master who apologizes to his daughter-in-law, old man, whose father are you, you don't say to your son, but help an outsider speak." Mrs. Chen tucked the corner of the quilt for Chen Zichang and said with a crying voice.
Knowing that Mrs. Chen understood what she meant, Chen Zichang closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Old Man Chen has always listened to Mrs. Chen, but this time he ignored Mrs. Chen and continued to compensate Uncle Zhao: "Your cousin is such a person, as an elder, you can be considerate." Then he said to Mrs. Zhao, "Mother-in-law, I will compensate the Zhao family on behalf of my son, and I hope that the Zhao family will spare him once, if I go to that dirty place in the future, I will not be able to spare him." Saying the word "dirty place", Old Man Chen's old face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"What my cousin-in-law said is reasonable, I only need a word from my brother-in-law, and I won't change it in the future." Uncle Zhao saw that Old Man Chen's attitude softened, and his tone of voice was not so impulsive, "Don't tell me that he can't speak, he understands better than anyone else in his heart, he can't speak, when I beat him, the scream is louder than the sound of killing pigs." ”
When Chen Zichang heard this, his eyes rolled and he simply fainted.
Mrs. Zhao supported Zhao, the chrysanthemums on her face were wrinkled into a fold, and she listened to her son's words and said, "Father-in-law, don't want anything else, as long as the son has a word." ”
Mrs. Chen just wanted to speak, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Xue Jiao and exploded: "You girl, what about your father, I asked you to call your father, why don't you shout." ”
Chen Xuejiao opened her innocent eyes and said: "My father teaches in a private school, how can he leave class casually, and he didn't open the private school." ”
Old Mrs. Chen knew that Xue Jiao didn't go at all, and just wanted to have a seizure, but was stopped by Old Man Chen's look.
"Second brother, you can accompany your daughter-in-law." Old Man Chen said to Chen Zichang.
Chen Zichang was silent.
"Brother, you can accompany your sister-in-law." Chen Zifu opened his mouth to persuade. Uncle Zhao said one sentence of Fireworks Alley on the left, another sentence of Fireworks Alley, his face as a brother was already red and red, and it was not easy to persuade directly, so he could only be used as a set when the Zhao family scolded.
"My son made a big mistake, and we are old, it is not your turn to teach a lesson from a junior of the Zhao family." Mrs. Chen insisted on not letting Chen Zichang apologize.
"If your son doesn't get married, I can't care if he soaks in the kiln every day, and now that he has married my sister, I don't care who cares about me as my sister's mother's family, and you can't bully my sister." Uncle Zhao's temper has come up.
Zhao listened to his brother's words, and tears of gratitude fell.
Xue Yao was secretly anxious when she saw this scene, she thought that her mother was too confused, and it was good to let her mother's family support her, but if she survived the fire, she would harm herself. Gambling on a breath to make my father pay for it, it's no wonder that Mrs. Chen can let her go in the future.
She has always wanted to persuade Zhao, but Zhao was held back by her grandmother, and she couldn't find a chance so she could only be anxious.
"Uncle, it's hard for me to talk about this matter, but today I'm going to say a few words, and I hope my uncle will forgive me for being a niece. You feel sorry for your mother, my grandfather and grandmother both know, and you came here to talk to your grandmother because you want your mother to live a good life with your father in the future. Grandma and my grandfather treat my mother as a daughter, and I beat my father My father has guilt in my mother's heart, and he will definitely be good to my mother in the future...... I also asked my uncle to spare my father for the sake of my niece's face. Xue Yao was crying, holding Zhao's hand and speaking.
Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Zhao slammed a wit, and her daughter reminded her that she would have to live in the future, if she forced Chen Zichang to apologize today, I am afraid that she will no longer have a status in front of Mrs. Chen in the future.
So Zhao Shiqiang smiled and said: "Brother, you beat and scolded, so spare Xue Yao and her father." ”
Seeing Zhao's opening, Mrs. Chen pursed her lips, why didn't she open her mouth when her son was slapped a few times, why didn't she open her mouth when Uncle Zhao overturned the table, but she opened her mouth at this time. Thinking of this, Old Lady Chen snorted coldly: "The eldest lady of the Zhao family, I don't think our Chen family can afford it." ”
Zhao's face turned white when he heard this.
The old lady of the Zhao family heard that Mrs. Chen was not doing anything about her daughter, and the old lady was also a spicy person, clapping her hands and shouting: "My daughter is so knowledgeable, you don't appreciate it, she is filial to you every day when she marries, and you treat her like this in front of me, so it can be seen that it is fake to treat her well." He turned his face to comfort Zhao, "Don't be afraid, my mother will support you." ”
Zhao listened to his mother's words, and his face turned even paler.
Mrs. Chen was not to be outdone: "I said that why she was in front of me every day, it turned out that she was all blinded by me." ”
The two old ladies sang and harmonized, clapping their palms and stomping their feet, and Chen Xuejiao was dazzled.
Old Man Chen hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Chen, and the uncle of the Zhao family felt that his mother was majestic, and looked coldly at Chen Zichang lying on the kang and sneered.
"I'm, at me."
Suddenly, Mrs. Chen straightened up and fainted, and the bluffing Old Man Chen and Chen Zifu hurriedly pinched the people, and the old lady Chen still closed her eyes tightly after pinching for a quarter of an hour. When Mrs. Zhao saw this situation, she pouted and stopped talking, who did she coax, my mother and my daughter-in-law quarreled and often used this trick.
The Zhao family stopped crying at this time, and pushed the uncle of the Zhao family to shout Langzhong.
Zheng Huozi, who was building a pigsty outside, heard the movement, hurriedly ran into the upper room, saw Mrs. Chen fainting on the kang, and took the initiative to invite Langzhong.
At this time, the three concubines of the Li family, the Cai family, and the Zhang family, heard that Mrs. Chen had fainted, so they shrank their heads in their own room, and went into the upper room together to wait.
