Chapter 172: Periodically
Yunzhu made such a fuss, and everyone in the village knew about it.
Village Chief Zhang apologized and left an IOU, and his spirit was sluggish. In the village, I can't hold my head up.
They all said in private that Yunzhu is powerful, don't look at it as a silent woman, this is really a bit of a skill. In other ways, the village chief bullies people like this, and I am afraid that there is only reason to admit it. Even if you have the courage to report to the official, the official office doesn't have to accept it.
Yunzhu did his best to recover a little loss for the family, making Village Chief Zhang bow his head. However, Yunzhu understands that Rao is like this, and Ping An has suffered so much, but he can't get it back. It is not clear whether there will be sequelae of this foot in the future. After all, medical care is limited.
Day after day, Ping An took the initiative to carry out rehabilitation exercises regardless of the pain. The seeds that Yunzhu bought and her mother-in-law have already planted them, just waiting to sprout.
But she also wants to dig a pond so that she can store some water during the rainy season. At that time, the ducks will also have a place to play, and they can't all rush to the Qinghe. The water is so clear, these ducks go down, and after a long time, the water becomes stinky.
After this is done. Feng Lao Niang and Yun Zhu discussed: "Yesterday, Meng'er and his mother asked me again to discuss the relationship between the two of them. I agreed, saying that they would talk about it in the sky. You promised me before that you would go with me? ”
Yunzhu smiled: "Since I promised, I will definitely not break my promise." I'll definitely go. ”
Feng Lao Niang said with a smile: "Cheng, you have a lot of ideas, and you will help the staff officers when the time comes." By the way, let's wear the pale red clothes that are newly made in the new year, and look spiritual. ”
Yunzhu agreed. The mother-in-law was afraid that she would not dress up. didn't pay attention to this matter, and it was a shame for the Feng family.
Turning around, Yunzhu and Ping'an mentioned the matter.
Ping'an said: "The two of them have been married for so long, it's time to get married." But it's not easy for you to be a sister-in-law. Just listen to it. ”
Yunzhu said: "I know. You have to be good at home, you can't be strong, you know? Meizi cooks for you at home, don't worry, I'll be back at noon. ”
Ping An nodded obediently like a three-year-old child.
The next day, breakfast was served. Yunzhu changed into the pale red clothes according to what her mother-in-law said. Find clothes made by tailors. After taking it back, Xiangmei said that it was too plain, so she helped her take yellow and tender green silk threads on the sleeves and hem of her clothes, and embroidered folded branch flowers. The skirt of the same color was trimmed with lilac cloth.
She changed her clothes. pulled the hair in a bun, inserted a hairpin, and smeared a light fat powder.
Ping An was stunned in the back, and said after a long time: "You cleaned up so well." I don't know, I thought you were going on a blind date. ”
Yunzhu looked back and smiled: "I'm not here to save face for your parents." Stop. It's still specially ordered by my mother. ”
After Yunzhu was picked up, Mrs. Feng called her in the courtyard. Yunzhu stepped forward and hugged Ping'an and said goodbye to him.
Yunzhu and Feng Lao Niang went to Liu's house, which lived across the river.
This is the second time Yunzhu has been to Liu's house. The first time was that the Liu family invited the New Year's wine in the first month, and the whole family came, in fact, it was time to mention Xiangmei's relatives, but there were many guests of the Liu family that day, and it was not easy to discuss.
Later, the Feng family was busy, and after the peace came out. I'm not in the mood either.
Liu Wang had already changed into new clothes and waited in the hall, while Liu stonemasons paced back and forth in the room.
Liu Wangshi lowered his head and fiddled with a string of Nanmu prayer beads in his hand. He frowned slightly, looking pensive.
The husband and wife didn't speak until they heard Qiaoyu shouting in the courtyard: "Aunt Feng and Sister Song are here." ”
Liu Mason walked out at this time, and Liu Wang couldn't sit still. When the stonemason Liu arrived at the eaves, he said happily: "My mother is here." Ping'an's daughter-in-law is also here! ”
Mrs. Feng agreed with a smile on her face: "Eh, father-in-law." There was a delay in something at home, and it was a little late. ”
Yunzhu also called "uncle".
When everyone entered the house, Liu Wang's family also greeted him, warmly took Feng Lao Niang's arm, and the two mothers greeted each other. Yunzhu greeted again, and then sat down with the host and guest.
Qiaoyu came in with a teapot, and Qiaoxiang held a teatray with two saucers and refreshments.
Qiaoyu helped serve tea. Feng Lao Niang praised vigorously: "Xiao Yu'er has grown into a big Yu'er, she is well-behaved and obedient, and I don't know which family will be blessed to marry her in the future." ”
Liu Wang's family followed up haha, she was already heartbroken about her daughter's relatives. Originally, she was not satisfied with her son's marriage, but the Feng family suddenly raised her head, and her mind became lively, thinking that the Feng family's life was getting better and better, then their Liu family would also follow the benefits, and this family affair would be considered a pair, so she was also extraordinarily enthusiastic.
"Hey, I'm afraid that the marriage hasn't arrived yet, and I've found a wishful family. If Sister Feng knows any suitable people, remember to tell me. ”
Feng Lao Niang smiled: "Where do I know any good people, I'm just afraid that your family will look down on you." ”
The two families humbled each other. Qiaoyu secretly pulled down her mother's clothes next to her and said, "Isn't it my brother's business, why did it involve me again?" ”
Liu Wang said: "Anyway, you have to get married sooner or later, and you can't avoid it." The room burst into laughter.
Qiaoyu blushed and pulled her little sister out.
Here, Liu Stonemason was concerned about Ping'an's foot injury: "Ping'an's foot is really wasted?" ”
Yunzhu replied: "Doctor Yuan said that there is still hope for recovery, and it depends on how well he recovers." ”
Liu Wang said: "I heard the daughter-in-law of the Tong family say that Ping'an's feet and bones are broken, and she can still walk?" ”
Feng Lao Niang sighed: "No, this child is destined to have many disasters, and finally his life is better, so this happened." I don't know if there is a problem with walking......" said and scolded Village Chief Zhang again: "That Zhang Dwarf who received a thousand cuts, I don't know where our Feng family offended him, and the black dog, a very honest boy, has a black heart." ”
Liu Stonemason was puzzled: "It stands to reason that your family has no enmity, that Zhang dwarf is so jealous of your family and wants to abolish peace?" ”
Mrs. Feng couldn't figure it out. However, Yun Zhu had already figured it out, and she said, "It must be related to the matter of asking him to contact the Fu family last time." He had promised us to come forward. I don't know that peace will be done by myself. He may feel faceless. ”
Liu Stonemason was also a little indignant: "If you don't have face, you want a safe life?" ”
Feng Lao Niang said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, and I can't ask him anything." I guess he was embarrassed to say. Now the daughter-in-law forced him to press his handprint, and now our family is their creditor. In fact, even if Zhang Jingai happily took out the money. Peace has suffered these days, and he can't pay it back. Didn't he just bully our family and be weak? We bought the mountain, probably because our eyes were red. ”
Liu Wang also agreed: "This Zhang family is really not a thing. ”
Liu Shimason said angrily: "Damn it! This surname Zhang is not a thing! Mother-in-law, if you nod, I'll find someone to fix that bastard. ”
Mrs. Feng was timid and afraid, and wanted to accumulate virtue for Ping An, so she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Forget it." As long as the Zhang family pays back the money owed, it will be over. ”
"Cheng, mother-in-law, if the Zhang family is in debt. You and me. I have someone under me who specializes in dealing with Lao Lai, and I want to let the surnamed Zhang know that he should not be so arrogant. ”
Liu Wang hurriedly pulled her man and said, "Hey." You also extinguish the fire. ”
They talked about it for a while. Everyone just lost the matter of the Zhang family. Liu Meng is back.
He wore a half-new bean gray jacket, came up to salute Mrs. Feng, and saw Yunzhu again.
Liu Meng's butt was next to the bench, and before he even took a sip of tea, he scolded: "Why is this black dog so bad, he ran away after doing something immoral?" I've been to Tong's house three times, but I haven't seen anyone. I didn't find anyone to inquire. Where do you think this black dog will go? ”
"How do you know this, don't you look for it all over the place."
Liu Meng gritted his teeth angrily: "This stinky boy." If I see him, I'll give him a good beating to relieve my anger. ”
"That's what we're talking about. It's hard to stop, and you're here again. Liu Wang still hopes that his son will not cause trouble. After all, there was still a relationship with the Tong family before.
Liu Meng said: "I'm not fighting for peace." The other family is now a family, and I can't swallow this breath even if I don't get married. ”
"Alright, don't say it. Today, the two of us are sitting together to discuss the family affairs of Meng'er and Meizi. ”
Feng Lao Niang said: "Yes." I just don't know what the plans of my in-laws and mother-in-law are? ”
Liu Stonemason said: "I have calculated with someone, saying that the second day of the sixth month is a good day, and I plan to set it on this day, what does my mother think?" ”
Mrs. Feng was a little troubled, there were these things in the family, and there were foreign debts, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it in June, so she couldn't do it: "The feet of peace are not good yet, so you don't have to wait." ”
Liu Wang thought it was funny: "The two of them got married, and it didn't have much to do with Ping'an's foot injury." ”
Mrs. Feng was a little short of words and glanced at her daughter-in-law.
Yun Zhu smiled and said unhurriedly: "Uncle, Ping'an is not in good shape now, and Niang is not in the mood to be in a hurry. Besides, my mother is old and tired. We have to wait for the feet of peace. No matter how much sister-in-law's dowry has not been prepared, this is not just the land added to the family, and the Fu family is still owed silver, but I am afraid that I will have to wait. ”
Liu Wang's mouth curled and said: "At the beginning, our family and your family didn't think your family was poor, and I also knew that you couldn't get much dowry, so it sounds good to say these at this time?" ”
Feng Lao Niang felt that her mother's words were a little yin and yang, and her face was a little uncomfortable, so she was about to speak, but she heard Yunzhu smile again: "Uncle, my mother-in-law is such a daughter, she is naturally a baby, and if she wants to marry, she will naturally marry in a beautiful way." Our family is not saying how long it will be delayed, and it will definitely be done in the second half of the winter. ”
Come on, this will be postponed for half a year. Liu Wang's heart was not very happy, she glanced at her husband, hoping that he would say something.
Before Liu Mamason could express his position, Liu Meng got up and said, "I can afford to wait, it's winter in winter." At that time, the kiln was also more stable. ”
Seeing that his son had already spoken, Liu Stonemason nodded and said, "Cheng, then postpone it later." ”
Seeing that the Liu family agreed, Mrs. Feng nodded and said, "In the end, the in-laws are accessible." ”
Liu Wang's mouth opened here: "Your Feng family has a thick waist now, so I will also mention the dowry." Needless to say, these pots and pans have to be bought newly. The furniture should also be freshly beaten, at least camphor wood boxes and cabinets. I also have to ask for a bag of money to press the bottom of the box. ”
Feng Lao Niang said that this is not embarrassing.
Yunzhu secretly said that the sister-in-law, the future mother-in-law, is not easy to deal with, and after listening to her advice, she said: "Cheng, these are not particularly difficult." However, the dowry has risen, and this bride price should be given more. ”
Liu Wang was speechless. Liu stonemason thought, this should be given, if it is spread out that their Liu family is not even happy to give a bride price, then I am afraid that I will be laughed to death by others, so I promised: "The bride price is easy to say, you just have to speak, as long as the number is not too outrageous, it will be done." ”
As soon as Liu Wang's words came out, she wanted to make her eyes too late.
Mrs. Feng glanced at Yunzhu, hoping that Yunzhu could help her say a number. Yunzhu lowered his head at this time and was drinking tea. She knew very well in her heart, in the end, she was just a sister-in-law, and she couldn't intervene to decide how much the bride price would be. It should be the mother-in-law who is completely in charge.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law didn't care, Mrs. Feng thought for a while before saying, "We countrymen don't have so many twists and turns when we get married. I think it's auspicious, just twelve taels. ”
Liu Wang's heart is not too outrageous.
Liu Shimason felt that this number was still enough, so he said: "Okay, twelve taels!" ”
Yun Zhu interjected with a smile: "Then the clothes and jewelry of the four seasons are counted separately." ”
"This ......" Liu Wang was dumbfounded, this woman is really shrewd, she was waiting for them here.
Liu Meng saw that his parents were not happy, so he hurriedly made the decision for them: "Shouldn't these be?" ”
"Haha, Meng'er is right."
Yunzhu said in his heart, Meizi, I fought for you again, and you have to thank me when you turn around. Mrs. Feng glanced at Yunzhu, with a smile on her face, very satisfied, thinking that she had really done the right thing to bring her.
The family affairs of the two families were temporarily settled, and Yunzhu helped the Feng family win the right to choose their day. This Liu stonemason was unwilling.
"There's no such rule, isn't it all set by men?"
Yunzhu said with a smile: "That's so, but the affairs of the two families can't be discussed by the two families." We chose the date, we still have to discuss it with your family, if you don't want to, we can't do it. ”
Liu Mason wilted.
At lunchtime, the dishes on the table were hearty. The Liu family also deliberately killed a chicken and slaughtered a fat goose. Yun Zhu felt that the goose meat was too fatty, and she didn't even stretch her chopsticks. Just eating a plate of vegetarian stir-fried choy sum in front of me.
When Liu Wang's family saw it, he said in his heart, yes, people now dislike their family.
Feng Lao Niang had already been nourished by Yunzhu's cooking skills, and she felt that this kind of meal was not easy to eat, so she only ate a symbolic amount and put her chopsticks aside.
After the meal, they chatted casually for a while, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their leave.
Liu Meng went to see them off.
Here Liu Wang's family couldn't hold back for a long time: "It's not rich yet, but it's picky." ”
Liu Stonemason went elsewhere to smoke his dry tobacco, and did not distinguish it from his mother-in-law. (To be continued......)
