Chapter 217: Crying
Chen Xuejiao and Chen Xiucai returned to the North Wing, and Qi An, Xueru and Li hurriedly caught up and asked what happened.
Chen Xiucai naturally didn't want to say anything about this, he didn't say anything, turned around and went to the inner room.
Chen Xuejiao sat on the stool angrily, didn't speak, picked up the hot tea on the table and poured a cup.
"Xuejiao, what's going on, what's going on?" Li saw Xuejiao holding Chen Xiucai's hand and coming out of the upper room, so he vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Grandma saw that our father made some money, and her heart was unbalanced, and she asked her father to give her sister-in-law a golden crown, and she wanted her mother's kind of one with pearls embedded in it." Chen Xuejiao said angrily.
Li touched the homely plug on his head and sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't bring the crown when I went to the room just now, if I did, I might make a fuss." ”
That's what he said, but this is Chen Xiucai coming and going in the wind and rain outside, and how many hardships he went through to get so much money, not to mention that their family couldn't even eat enough to eat in the past, and some people were not happy after only a few days of this good day.
"I shouldn't have gone out with that golden crown today." Li sighed and said that she didn't want to bring such a valuable crown, but the crown was given by her husband, and now that her husband has come home, there is a faint rumor outside that Chen Xiucai is begging for a small outside, in order to resist those rumors, she wore it to her parents' house, and there were people to guide her all the way.
"Why shouldn't you wear it?" Chen Xuejiao couldn't help it, and said angrily, "It was bought by my father for my mother, who you don't wear, you not only wear it today, but also every day after tomorrow." ”
Li was silent, she went to the room just now, she deliberately changed into homely clothes, and only had a silver hairpin on her head. However, several children were dressed as usual, and they still wore big red pomegranate eight-piece Hunan skirts when they went out in the morning. There were golden droplet earrings on her ears, and as soon as she entered the room, she stabbed Old Lady Chen's eyes. The Li family can do whatever it takes, but several children have lived a hard life with them for so many years, and if they have money, they don't give a few children to spend it.
"Hey, the August Festival is coming, I just said that we would have a reunion dinner together, but I didn't expect to make such a ...... again," Li said.
"Mother. We don't blame it. Xue Jiao said angrily, "Our family has always wanted to live in peace, but there are people who are looking for trouble to prevent us from having a good time." ”
"Yes. Don't blame us. "Qi An, Qi Ping, and Xue Ru followed.
It was getting dark, and the lights were lit in the house.
The stone set the table, and dinner was brought from the pot house. There was no big trouble for dinner tonight, when I came back from Li's house in the afternoon. The Li family packed a few dishes, and when it was hot at night, it was considered a dinner. The stones are busy coming in and out. On the table, there is a plate of cold-cut beef, a bowl of bean roast pork, a plate of pig's ears, a large pot of corn cob porridge boiled on stones, a stack of green onion cakes, and a plate of autumn cucumbers to relieve greasy.
Everyone sat around the table and ate. Chen Xiucai came out of the house and sat on the top.
There are not so many rules at home, and you can talk and laugh at the dinner table, but today everyone is unusually silent. No one spoke.
"Dad, what the hell is a charter. Did you promise your mother in the upper room? Li opened his mouth.
Chen Xiucai ate a few slices of cucumbers, took a sip of porridge, and said slowly: "...... Wen Yan is just a set of heads......"
Chen Xuejiao heard this, looked at Chen Xiucai carefully, and saw a trace of guilt flashing on his face. Didn't he promise Mrs. Chen in the upper room just now, how could he agree in less than a cup of tea when he returned to the house.
For a moment there was silence on the table.
"Wen Yan's life is not very easy," Chen Xiucai said embarrassedly.
Chen Xiucai is really a kind person, Chen Xuejiao doesn't know how to do business outside with his heart.
"Okay, Dad, it's up to you to decide whether to give your sister-in-law a golden crown or not, we can't interfere, even if you give the whole family belongings to your sister-in-law, we don't say a word to our mother, after all, you earned your money." Chen Xuejiao put down her chopsticks and said unceremoniously.
"Yes!" The other kids www.biquge.info a little bit of fun.
Chen Xiucai was embarrassed, he was unwilling to agree to Mrs. Chen's needs, he knew the temperament of his stepmother, when his family was poor in the past, she refused to help even if the grain warehouse was full, seeing that he made some money, if she didn't dig out a sum from him, she would not give up. He thought that after all, he lived in a courtyard, and it was not good to make a fuss about the matter of a face, and it would hinder his reputation if it was spread out, so he secretly agreed in his heart after thinking about it.
"I listen to a few children, you can give it if you want to. The old lady has taken a fancy to my crown, I don't think you should go to the silver building in the town to fight, we can't play such a style in the town, I think it's better to give my ready-made to Wen Yan. Li put down the chopsticks and said unhurriedly, "Usually what Wen Yan does to us, you also know, she is not a child as big as Xue Ruxuejiao, she is the mother of two children, and it is not an exaggeration for me to say that she is not sensible as a sister-in-law." But in the end, her surname is Chen, she is your sister, and we can't say anything if you give it to her. It's just that I feel cold when I think of the incident last time, you don't know, last time she brought Sister Chun to the house, I was not at home, she brought a plate of fruit from our house, Qi Ping caught and offended Sister Qiu, and Sister Qiu splashed her face with lamp oil......"
When Li said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and under the light, Xue Jiao saw Li's tears falling.
Xue Ru hurriedly handed the handkerchief to the Li family.
"Sister Chun splashed me with lamp oil, and my aunt said that it was okay, she didn't care about me by eating melon seeds, and I ran to the town without eating and met Aunt Zhao." Qi Ping raised a smiling face and was indignant, "Dad, I don't agree with you giving my aunt a golden crown, she is not even willing to give me a handful of melon seeds, why do we want to give her a golden crown." ”
Lee's tears fell even more intensively.
Xuejiao Qi An took Li's hand and wiped Qi Ping's tears, looked up at Chen Xiucai and said, "Dad, you said a word." ”
Fang Cai Xuejiao said in the upper room that Qi Ping was splashed with lamp oil by Sister Chun, but he didn't listen to it, but now when he heard the tearful narration of his wife and children, his heart had already softened.
When Shi heard this, he thought to himself, this sister-in-law is really vicious! Glancing at Chen Xiucai, the master is good at everything, but his heart is too kind, if he really gave the unconscious sister-in-law a golden crown. But it completely chilled his wife's heart, and he added a bowl of rice to Chen Xiucai at the moment and said with a smile: "Master, the second lady and the eldest young master are like you to ask for a word." ”
After being reminded by the stone, Chen Xiucai reacted, coughed twice and waved his hand: "That's it, that's it, it's flat." Come. Daddy, look at where it's burned. ”
At night, lie in bed. Xue Jiao thought about going to the room. The Li family prepared enough gifts for the upper room, and the crutches given to the old man Chen were even more valuable, and the first shot was ten taels of silver, and the old lady Chen was still dissatisfied for two reasons. One is that she is greedy herself, and when she saw that her stepson, who had always been manipulated by her, suddenly had money and felt uncomfortable, she tried her best to instigate it. The second is that the gifts for the upper room are for food, the most valuable things are spent on Old Man Chen, and the old lady Chen is given two rulers, and her heart is naturally unbalanced.
Jing Hao and Xue Ru did not fall asleep. Xue Jiao told the two of them what she thought in her heart.
"Xue Jiao is right, I have been staring at the face of the milk, and my mother just took out the master's crutches and the ruler for the milk. Milk's face is very ugly. There is also the fourth aunt, and my mother has just opened the box here. She wanted to get her head into it. Xue Ru, who has always been honest and honest, can say such mean words.
The large items in the box were all for Old Man Chen, and the rest were all gone, and Zhang's face was green.
Xue Jiao smiled and fell.
"Now, I don't know how many words my grandmother and the four concubines have to chew behind my back." Jing said with a smile.
This is not what Chen Xuejiao cares about, Dafang is now thick and angry, and he has endured Shangfang in his heart for more than ten years, and he can finally vomit it quickly today.
Li cleaned up and entered the house, the stone boiled the water, took the basin and put it to the door, Li took off Chen Xiucai's shoes and burned his feet, Chen Xiucai's feet were soaked in hot water and rubbed back and forth, Li wiped the water on his hands and wiped his feet and said: "Ming'er Qilin comes back, I have to prepare another gift, I have already prepared that gift, the four treasures of the study are more than one set, and the four treasures of the study are still brought by you to the south." ”
Chen Xiucai nodded.
"Although I didn't give Wen Yan the golden crown, I also prepared a homely hairpin ring for her, and I was giving her a batch of satin." Speaking of Wen Yan, Li held back the discomfort in his heart, in the end, it was his sister, if he didn't give anything, the family probably wouldn't have a good life.
Since hitting the rejuvenation sister with lamp oil poured Qiping, Wen Yan was forced by the old man Chen to compensate the Li family, she added a layer of hatred to the big house, she used to go back to her parents' house for three days and two ends, since that incident, she rarely came, and when she came back to the house, she hid in the upper room and didn't even show her face, only once called Xue Jiao saw her standing in the upper room window with a gloomy face, watching the activities of the big room.
Wen Yan's husband is a good person, knowing that Sister Chun poured Qi Ping's face with lamp oil, and came to compensate the Li family alone, after going back, he scolded Wen Yan for a night, pulled Sister Chun away from her, and handed it to her sister-in-law.
Wen Yan's popularity in the Duan family is even worse, and her aunt's reputation for treating her nephew harshly is really enough for her to take responsibility.
Thinking that Wen Yan was going to come to the house, Li was a little worried, she was afraid that Wen Yan would rely on Qi Ping for what happened to the Duan family, so that she would have a bad idea.
Qi An was still reading, and the stone was waiting in front of him.
"Stone, you go to sleep first, I'll sleep after reading this chapter." Zi'an sent the stone to sleep.
Shi knew that the eldest young master was sincere, added a bowl of tea to him, and walked to his bed.
The house at home was tight, and Shi had to share a room with Qi An, and he was going to lay on the ground, but he was stopped by the Li family, bought a board from outside to build a simple bed, and slept next to Qi An.
The stone fell asleep, turned over, and saw that the eldest young master was still studying, so he recalled the words that the eldest young master taught him in his heart. The old man is a Xiucai and likes to read, he has learned a lot of words with Chen Xiucai, and now the eldest young master is also willing to teach him.
Although his father and mother have not been found, but in the end he returned to his hometown from Yuhang, and the master's family is kind, although he is the identity of a subordinate, no one up and down treats him as a person.
He plans to learn to read and write, and when the Chen family's business grows in the future, he will buy a house, land and a shop, and he will follow the errands, and he will also be in charge of things in the future.
When the stone was dreaming in the quilt, the old lady Chen in the upper room was also lying in the quilt and dreaming, Ming'er's eldest grandson was about to come back, and the pickled breath she was holding in her heart was about to vomit out, and what made her even happier was that when she asked the boss for the golden crown, the boss did not refuse. Look, you have the ability, or you can't escape from the palm of my stepmother, I can hold you the same. (To be continued)
