Chapter 127: Self-Made
"What's wrong with your milk?" Li was soaking the beans of tomorrow's Laba porridge when he heard the sound outside and hurriedly ran out.
There was water on his hands, and when he went outside, the cold wind blew, and his whole hand was hot and painful.
Chen Xuejiao and a few other children also came out.
Through the white snow light, I saw Mrs. Chen lying on her back on the snow at the door of the pot house.
Li ran over and hurriedly helped her.
"Mother, are you okay, are you okay, mother." Li shouted anxiously.
Several children also joined to help.
Zhang stood in the middle of the pot house, his frightened face turned white, and the second and third eggs were young and had nothing to do, and they were already crying in fright.
Chen Xuejiao glanced at the ground, which was originally full of snow, but it was frozen at this time.
Zhang's was lazy, and the water for washing vegetables and rice was not poured into the pool outside the gate, so he poured it directly at the door of the pot house in order to save trouble. Layers of water melted the snow and formed layers of ice.
If the snow does not melt, Mrs. Chen will not slip so easily; Even if you slip, you won't be able to get up.
The ice on the ground was too slippery, and Li and Chen Qi'an pulled together several times but didn't pull Mrs. Chen up.
Seeing her wolf side by the Li family, Mrs. Chen was ashamed and angry, and pushed Li away: "Get out, you look at me I don't know, don't cry and fake mercy." ”
Although Mrs. Chen was lying on the ground, her strength was not small, and she slipped the soles of Li's feet and almost didn't stand, but fortunately she was dragged by Jinghao and Xueru next to her, so she didn't fall to the ground.
Mrs. Chen scolded for no reason, Li was aggrieved and embarrassed, and wanted to reach out to help her but didn't dare, her hand stopped in mid-air.
At this time, the door squeaked open, and the family in the second room came out surrounded by Mr. Chen. Chen Zifu's family came out in the west wing, and Chen Zigui in the south wing also came out with big eggs.
"What's going on?" Old Man Chen walked over quickly.
"Oh, mother, are you okay?"
"......"
Sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren all surrounded Mrs. Chen.
Among them, Zhao's voice was the loudest and sad.
Old Man Chen's face flashed with anxiety.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong. What are you doing? Zhao looked at Li and stood aside with an embarrassed face, thinking that Mrs. Chen's fall was related to Li's, and at this time, not to mention helping Mrs. Chen up, he directly attacked Li.
As soon as Zhao's words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Li.
Chen Xuejiao glanced at Zhao coldly: "The second aunt has always not asked about the innocent, you should ask the fourth aunt about this, we have just arrived." ”
Zhao couldn't hold his face when Chen Xuejiao asked.
Everyone's eyes focused on Zhang's face again.
"I don't know why," Zhang said.
Mrs. Chen and Zhang's quarrel can be heard by the whole courtyard, and they can't rely on it if they want to.
Chen Xuejiao was even more angry with Zhao. Once she was given a gap, no matter if she had it or not, she couldn't talk to the Li family first, she knew that the Zhang family and Mrs. Chen had a dispute, but when she went to the door of the pot house, she was the first to make trouble like the Li family.
"Grandma and the fourth aunt quarreled just now, didn't the second aunt hear it? As soon as she came here, she asked me what was wrong with my mother's grandmother, and how did my mother know if the second aunt wanted to get back the hairpin in the fourth aunt's hand. deliberately wanted to splash dirty water on my mother, thinking that the fourth aunt would return the hairpin to you. ”
Zhao's face was ashamed. I regret what I just said.
"Dad, the ground is wet and slippery, hurry up and carry my mother into the house first, please take a look." Li looked anxious.
Even though she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Chen in her heart, she didn't want her to fall and not be able to get up.
Old Man Chen showed an appreciative look at the Li family, and ordered Chen Zichang, Chen Zifu, and Chen Zigui to carry Old Lady Chen into the house.
And they all went into the upper room. Chen Zifu went to the town to invite Zheng Langzhong.
Mrs. Chen was lying on the kang with her hair scattered, and her whole face was pulled down.
“…… You say you, on a snowy day, what do you do when you go out, and we will eat whatever your daughter-in-law cooks. What the are you doing with that little care? Old Man Chen's complaining words were filled with unconcealed concern.
"The fourth daughter-in-law, the fourth daughter-in-law" Mrs. Chen covered her waist and trembled and complained, "She ate the heart of a bear bile leopard, talked back to me, and called me out, the fourth daughter-in-law, you are looking for a good daughter-in-law, I raised you for nothing." ”
Mrs. Chen cried bitterly, and Chen Zigui bowed his head and did not say anything.
At this time, the Zhang family didn't know where to hide.
"Don't talk yet, the third child is going to invite Langzhong." Old Man Chen sighed.
Chen Xuejiao's children were hungry for a long time, so they glanced at each other and walked out.
It's not that they don't care about Mrs. Chen, but listening to her neutral voice, there is no problem at all.
She just did it herself, she was on fire in her heart, she didn't have a place to sprinkle, she went to the pot house and caught Zhang's and scolded her, Zhang's shot back, she went to beat Zhang's, and fell down herself.
When they arrived at the north wing, they put the food on the table, and Qi Ping quietly called Li back.
Li's expression was wilted, and he only ate half a bowl of rice before putting it down.
"Mother, what's the matter, just now you went to help the milk, she lost her temper with you, don't worry, the milk is like that." Although Chen Xuejiao was angry at Mrs. Chen's behavior, she could suppress her anger and persuade the Li family.
"I'm not uncomfortable with any of them." Li smiled reluctantly.
The children looked at each other.
"Why is that mother?" Xue Ru asked.
"It was also snowing so heavily at that time, in the wax moon, if your aunt kicked me, I would ......" Li couldn't go on, and his eyes were red.
Several children got it.
Lee's first child was gone.
Zhang and Mrs. Chen quarreled just now, and they heard it clearly in the pot house, and those words uncovered Li's scars.
Chen Xuejiao thought of something else, before Li said that Wen Yan unintentionally tripped her, but listening to Zhang's tone was deliberate, otherwise Mrs. Chen would not have been so excited to defend Wen Yan and fall.
Before Zhang's words were finished, he was stopped by Mrs. Chen.
Could it be that Mrs. Chen deliberately fell down in order to block Zhang's mouth.
Chen Xuejiao was clever.
Xue Rujing saw Li's sad appearance, and she also wiped her eyes.
"It's nothing, your aunt was also young at the time." Li Shiqiang said with a smile.
"Mother, why did my aunt trip you at that time." Chen Xuejiao asked.
"At that time, your aunt had a quarrel with your second aunt. Ran to the yard, there was a lot of snow at that time, I was carrying a basin of water, your aunt cried and ran out without seeing the road clearly, and suddenly hit the basin, and my feet slipped. Just ......" There was infinite pain in Lee's eyes.
They also knew that the child was gone.
But is it really that much of a coincidence?
If it was unintentional, then why did the Zhang family say this every time he pinched the Zhao family, and every time he did it in front of Mrs. Chen.
Chen Xuejiao thought for a while and asked, "At that time, the fourth aunt hadn't passed the door, right?" ”
Lee said, "No. ”
Since Zhang has not passed through the door, how can she know the twists and turns in between.
Chen Xuejiao frowned and thought.
At this time, Zheng Langzhong came.
"Let's go check it out." Li said and stood up.
The family rushed in and entered the upper room.
Zheng Langzhong took Mrs. Chen's pulse, and then said to Mr. Chen, "...... It doesn't matter, people are old and hard-boned. Fortunately, I didn't fall and was injured, just lying on the kang to recuperate, and I had a recipe for this, just grab two pairs of medicine and eat it. ”
Old Man Chen thanked him.
Zheng Langzhong drank a cup of tea and sat still.
“…… Zheng Langzhong, what else do you have to say?" Old Man Chen spoke.
Everyone wondered why they didn't leave after checking the pulse.
Zheng Langzhong's face was embarrassed, and Chen Xuejiao suddenly blessed his soul. People gave the pulse and opened the prescription, but you didn't give money. It's hard for people to say clearly, of course, they sit and drink tea and don't leave.
"Master. I also have to pay Zheng Langzhong for the outpatient fee. Chen Xuejiao said innocently.
Zheng Langzhong lowered his head and drank tea without saying a word, raised his eyes to look at Xue Jiao, and showed a grateful smile.
"Oh, look at me, this memory, people are old" Old Man Chen smiled awkwardly. "Where's your money box, old woman."
Mrs. Chen closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Zhao and the others were silent, and lowered their heads together, pretending not to hear.
Really. One by one, the door is clear, and there are benefits, and one by one I can't wait for black corns, you eat me, I eat you; When it was time to pay money, one by one it was like a shrunken king and would not come out.
"Sister-in-law, you sell ...... son," Chen Zigui spoke.
"Fourth uncle, don't forget jì, who poured the milk on the ground?" Chen Xuejiao unceremoniously interrupted Chen Zigui's words.
It's Fang Zi again, Chen Xuejiao sneered, she sold Fang Zi at home, and she was so worried about them. The house call fee is only a few dozen dollars, not much, Chen Xuejiao can come out, she is not distressed about the money, but afraid that she will get used to it, and they will come to the door for everything.
Chen Zigui looked wolf-like.
Old Man Chen's heart was cold, the room was full of sons, and no one was willing to pay this money.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you see that Xue Yao is here with this money," Old Man Chen said to Zhao.
Xue Yao smiled and said, "Master, what's so difficult about this, I've always come up with this consultation fee, but I'm afraid that you will be too careful." ”
That's a nice thing to say, how did you pretend to be a dead man just now.
Zhao smiled, walked into the room and came out again, holding a small bag in his hand and handing it to Zheng Langzhong, Zheng Langzhong took the thanks, and fled in a hurry.
Chen Xuejiao pursed her lips and smiled, it is really good enough to force a doctor to look like this.
"That's all the money left in the house," Zhao explained to Old Man Chen.
"Ming'er asked your mother to add it to you." Old Man Chen said to Zhao.
It seems that I still can't bear to spend the money of the second family.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Is it better? Zhao walked over and asked softly.
Mrs. Chen, who was still asleep just now, opened her eyes at this time and cried: "Blame me for not being able to raise a good son, Zong's daughter-in-law is like something, she just wants me to die, the seed of a black heart." ”
Mrs. Chen scolded while looking around for Zhang with her eyes.
"Fourth, what about your daughter-in-law, you call her, let me ask her, what is her heart made of?" Old Mrs. Chen stared at Chen Zigui.
Chen Zigui was furious in his heart, and said stubbornly: "It's my daughter-in-law who is wrong, I'll go back and beat her later." ”
"No, you call her and beat her in front of me." Mrs. Chen was unrelenting.
Chen Zigui stood still.
Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.
"I'm so old, I was bullied by a daughter-in-law, what am I doing alive, just die." Mrs. Chen slammed straight into the kang head, and was grabbed by Zhao's stubbornly, pulling her waist, and couldn't help but scream in pain.
"Okay, it's not just your daughter-in-law's fault, you're also at fault, can that be someone who scolds your daughter-in-law? The big eggs are so big, you should give his mother a little face. Old Man Chen saw that Mrs. Chen was making a fuss, and he stopped it.
Mrs. Chen kept crying.
After making a fuss for half a night, everyone was sleepy and withdrew from the upper room one by one.
At night, Chen Xuejiao was awakened by a suppressed noise.
The noise came from the south wing.
“…… What are you arguing with your mother, and you don't know her temper? Chen Zigui reprimanded, "You annoyed her, and the money was in her hands......"
"You just think about you, why don't you think about me, I was deceived by you from the mountains." Zhang cried, "She scolded me, I can't scold her, I'm going to scold Wen Yan." ”
"What are you talking nonsense, don't annoy the second sister-in-law, what's in it for us. You just want to think about the hairpin, in the future, Xue Yao will be carried into the Ding Mansion and Qi Lin will be an official, and you will maintain the second sister-in-law now, and our future benefits will be more than just a hairpin. "Chen Zigui hates that iron does not become steel.
"I don't want this hairpin." Zhang sobbed.
"What is rare, don't stumble on the second sister-in-law, you know what's wrong with that, the eldest brother is not my own brother, he has always looked down on me, and he doesn't have the same heart with us, you go and please the second sister-in-law tomorrow......"
The more he spoke, the lower he spoke, and the less he could hear clearly.
Chen Xuejiao's heart sank...... (To be continued......)
