Zhao Man stood in the courtyard expressionlessly, and the anger in his heart almost burned his heart, liver, spleen and lungs. Although he knew that his grandmother was mean and ruthless, he never expected that she would be mean and ruthless to this point.

He admitted that because he was short of money, he wanted to give priority to redeeming his own mother and siblings, which was his unfilial piety. But if he had enough money, he wouldn't have chosen to do so. People's hearts are biased, and their strength is limited, so he naturally wants to focus on his loved ones first, is it possible for him to leave his biological mother and young and frail younger siblings behind? Besides, this didn't work out, the second room gave out the money to redeem a few of their brothers and sisters, and Aunt Lian took the silver away again, he didn't even have enough money to redeem his biological mother, even if he wanted to redeem his grandmother, he was powerless. Besides, if you really want to be exiled, adults are naturally more hopeful than children to survive the hardships on the road, grandmothers are old, how many years to live? Can't think more about the child? People are also guilty of official crimes, and if they have the opportunity, they will protect their children first, which is like their own family, grandmothers are selfish, and in order to save their lives, their grandchildren can be thrown away. She never thought that in the future, when she was old and had no offspring to support, how much better would her life be?

Take 10,000 steps back and say that if he can only redeem his mother and younger siblings, and leave his grandmother and Zhao Xiang in prison, at least his biological mother Aunt Qian can still go to the Qian family to borrow silver, or make money by doing needlework and thread, and collect enough ransom money to rescue their grandchildren. It's not like now, when my grandmother and Zhao Xiang came out, they didn't do any work, and they had to spend silver money to redeem a few personal girls and wait for them. The money in the family was only spent, but not earned. Just because of Zhao Xiang's few slanderous words, he went to fight Qiufeng and deceived a sum of money, and his grandmother regarded herself as an enemy from then on, and her love in the past was no longer there. He finally took his biological mother home, both mother and son were exhausted, and the biological mother was also sick, and it was time to recuperate well and ask the doctor to take medicine, but the grandmother stopped them from entering.

She said that he, a grandson, was unfilial and disobedient, stole the family's money and ran out, and if he wanted to come back, he had to be punished first.

She said that Aunt Xiaoqian, the concubine of her son, was escorted to the northwest by the official, and the lonely men and widows on the road were afraid that the name and festival would have long been gone, and entering the door of the Zhao family would tarnish the reputation of the Zhao family, so they were not allowed to enter the door. Whether Aunt Xiaoqian is sick or injured now, life or death has nothing to do with the Zhao family. Hengzhi is just a concubine, not a serious daughter-in-law.

Niu's mouth kept moving, squinting at the pale faces of Zhao Yan and Aunt Xiao Qian's mother and son, and then at Zhao Man, who was about to cry, he only felt happy. These unfilial and disobedient things dared to throw her in prison, and they deserved it today! This is the beginning, and they will be better in the future. As for Aunt Xiao Qian, if she hadn't been sick and dying, maybe she would have let people in after a few boards, after all, she was also a laborer. But now that Aunt Xiaoqian is sick like this, she is only waiting to die when she comes back, and she has to pay for medicine and a coffin in vain, why bother? Naturally, how far is it to catch up. Why didn't this concubine die on the road?

Zhao Xiang hid in the house, stood by the door and looked out secretly, and saw the depressed appearance of Zhao Yan and Aunt Xiao Qian, and his heart was extremely happy. She remembered the time when she was so oppressed by her mother, brothers and sisters in the past that she had to be careful to even say a word, and her hands were clenched into fists, hoping that her grandmother would immediately drive the mother and son out of the house, even Zhao Yan was no exception. It is enough to have an eldest brother and a boy in the family, although he is confused, he is also a mother and a sibling with her. She didn't plan to use the money she had worked hard to raise to feed the children born to Aunt Xiao Qian.

Zhao Xiang was secretly happy in the house, and the Niu clan outside the door scolded people angrily, only caring about his own happiness, and he didn't notice that Zhao Yan's gaze at the latter had already brought bitter hatred. If it was because he didn't want to redeem his grandmother in the first place, his grandmother turned her anger on his biological mother, and he could still bear it. But the grandmother actually slandered the name of the biological mother, which is going to directly force people to death! Now that he has no silver on him, and his biological mother is also seriously ill and difficult to move, he must endure and find a way to stay, but as long as his biological mother's illness is cured, he will save some silver to make entanglement, and he will definitely leave this home with his biological mother and siblings, leave this mean and ruthless grandmother and vicious sister-in-law, and go back to the south to seek refuge with his uncles and aunts, how can it be better than continuing to be ruined by his grandmother and sister-in-law!

There are more and more people watching from outside the door, and the Zhao family has been living in these days, because of their arrogance, they have already caused the dissatisfaction of their neighbors, and now they happen to see his jokes, and they are privately saying that the old lady Niu is confused. Even if it's just a concubine, he has three children for the Zhao family, and two of them are men, even if it's for the sake of the children, he can't drive people away, isn't this clear that he wants to make a feud? The old lady is old, she is mean to her grandchildren, and she is also mean to her grandchildren, and when she is old in the future, who do you expect to support?

At this time, Zhao Ze came back. He had been thinking of looking for work outside recently, and someone told him about the big drama that was going on at home, and he was startled and rushed back immediately. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Yan with a small face, standing straight in the courtyard without speaking, and the green tendons on his hands exploded. And Aunt Xiao Qian on the side was so thin that she only had a handful of bones left, her clothes were ragged, and she was crumbling under the support of her daughter Zhao Man, as if she would faint at any time. Grandmother Niu stood on the steps of the main house and pointed at their noses and cursed, and even he felt harsh when he heard those words.

He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Niu: "Grandmother, don't say it, everyone outside has heard it, and people are laughing carefully." It's not right for the younger brother to go out without you knowing, but he is also anxious to save his mother, so you can spare him for the sake of his filial piety. It's a big deal to punish him for kneeling for two hours, or beat him a few times. Aunt Xiao Qian is so sick, it's better to let people into the house to rest quickly. Now that you have Brother Yan by your side and have great expectations for him, do you want to kick his biological mother out of the house in front of him? ”

Niu Shi was not convinced, but when he heard him mention Zhao Di, he frowned, looked back at the house, and found that Zhao Di was lying by the window at some point, looking over with a look of horror. The child is five years old and can remember, he knows who his biological mother is, if Aunt Xiaoqian doesn't come back, it's just that, when she comes back, she will drive people out of the door, and she won't hold grudges in the future, right?

Niu's heart was shocked, and he scolded with a sinking face: "Which dead girl took care of Brother Di'er?" Why didn't you wait for the young master and let him lie on the window? What should I do if I fall? Why don't you hurry up and take Brother Di'er back to the house?! Immediately, two girls carried Zhao Yan away from the window in a panic. Zhao Yan cried: "I want my mother!" Mother! Aunt Xiao Qian secretly wept when she heard this.

Niu snorted coldly: "Little rabbit cub, it's really unfamiliar." He scolded Aunt Xiaoqian again: "What did he call you?" Who are you? Just a concubine, dare to let a child call you mother? Do you deserve it?! ”

Aunt Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and lowered her head, and Zhao Yan said in a dark voice: "Grandmother, my aunt is indeed a concubine, but she is not a cheap concubine, but a good concubine." She is my father's cousin and our great-grandmother's niece's niece. When your grandfather was alive, you personally intervened to mediate this family affair and persuaded your grandfather to convince your great-grandfather. If it weren't for you, my aunt would be the wife of someone else's house now, why would you dislike my aunt today? ”

Niu's strong advocacy for his son to take the daughter of the Qian family as a good concubine, firstly, in order to envelop her husband's biological mother, Aunt Lao Qian, and secondly, under the pretense of letting her and her daughter-in-law Jiang fight against each other, not only consolidated her position in front of her husband, but also better grasped her son, lest her son forget his mother when he has a daughter-in-law. But her approach is not on the stage, and it is easy to be criticized. Now when she heard her grandson mention this, she felt that she had lost face and sank her face: "What did you say?!" ”

Zhao Ze hurriedly said: "Let's say a few words!" Then he quietly persuaded the Niu family: "Grandmother, how can the Qian family also be my grandfather's uncle's family, you should give your relatives a face." Aunt Xiao Qian has already returned, you should look at the faces of your grandchildren and granddaughters, and let her enter the door. ”

Niu sneered: "The Qian family doesn't know where to die, if you can help, why haven't you seen anyone from his family go to Beijing in the past half a year?" What is the use of relatives? The wife's maiden family is the in-laws' family, and the concubine's maiden family is just a servant! Your grandfather's uncle's family is the Qin family, what kind of thing is the Qian family? Your grandfather called out to his uncle, did their family have the courage to respond? You said it lightly, looking at a few small ones, let Aunt Xiaoqian enter the door, so where did she get the money to see a doctor and take medicine? In the future, when she dies, what will happen to the money for the funeral? If you have a way to get money, I don't care, but if you want me to give money, it's no way! ”

Zhao Zegang refused his grandmother's request to go to the second room to play the autumn breeze, and he was speechless when he heard this. When Zhao Yan heard this, he stiffened his neck and said: "I will support my aunt, whether it is to eat and dress, or to ask a doctor for medicine, I will never ask my grandmother to spend half a penny!" ”

Niu sneered: "To put it lightly, your aunt died in my house, and I'm worried that she will dirty the house!" ”

Mrs. Huo stood in the crowd and saw Niu's face at this time, and her heart was cold. She can be so kind to her grandson's biological mother and daughter-in-law who has been waiting for her for more than ten years, how can she be kind to others? If her son really marries her granddaughter, will he also be respectfully filial to such an elder in the future? Mrs. Huo's attitude towards the Zhao family's family affairs became more and more shaken.

Zhao Man was holding his biological mother, bowing his head and choking, but caught a glimpse of Mrs. Huo standing in the crowd outside the door. She paused, suddenly had an idea, and shouted: "Grandmother, Mrs. Huo is here!" ”

Niu's face changed, and he hurriedly looked out of the door: "Where?" Where is Mrs. Huo? ”

Mrs. Huo deeply regretted that she shouldn't have watched for so long, if only she had left early, what should she say when she entered the door at this time?

Unexpectedly, when Niu saw Mrs. Huo, he immediately remembered his big plan, because he waited for two days, he didn't hear the news that the emperor reprimanded Jiannanhou, but there was a small saying that the imperial history of Jiannanhou was hanged. She wanted to inquire in detail, but she had nowhere to ask, seeing that Mrs. Huo was here, where could she take care of anything else? Immediately greeted the door enthusiastically, and changed her smiling face, making people feel that she was like a phantom when she scolded the street meanly.

Mrs. Huo couldn't refuse, and was pulled into the house by Niu's good words. Zhao Xiang couldn't care about gloating, he hid in the corner of the house with a red face, picked up a piece of needlework and lowered his head to do it carefully. When Mrs. Huo saw it, she only felt that this girl was still good, beautiful and smooth, soft and chaste in temperament, and she also did a good needlework, why didn't she have a reliable good family background and a good elder?

Niu pulled Mrs. Huo into the house, leaving behind the big stall in the yard, and everyone looked at each other. Zhao Ze quickly whispered to Zhao Yan: "Hurry up and help my aunt into your room and freshen up first." I asked her to make some hot soup to eat. Even if Grandmother wants to rush for a while, she can't carry your mother and son out alone. ”RS
