He walked out of the gate of Du's house, the smile on his face had completely subsided with the sound of the door closing behind him, and he walked down the steps expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mother-in-law, you don't know what the third sister-in-law said kneeling in front of Yunkelou, I'm embarrassed to repeat."

"Listening to the meaning of the third sister-in-law's words, it seems that the third brother will definitely die"

"She and her children have nothing to rely on, and the people in the family are also unreliable, and the future will be difficult."

"As a younger brother and sister, I don't seem to be able to say this, but the third sister-in-law is really poor and bold, and she asked for a hundred taels with one mouth, and she didn't worry about retaliation afterwards. Originally, he had already negotiated with his mother-in-law, but he was forced to give money by the third sister-in-law, how can he get by in terms of face, besides, which of the rich people is good to get along with? We and my second brother were in the town, and we didn't ask us to help, but after getting the silver ticket, she turned around and went to the money bank, is this thinking about a way back for her? ”

"We don't covet the one hundred taels, the second brother told us a few days ago that the third brother's family wants to study and suffers from insufficient silver, so we immediately took out the silver to support and did not ask for it to be returned. But look at the third sister-in-law, where did a woman come from such a bold family to go alone to seek justice for the third brother, do you mean that there is no one in the Li family? You don't know how ugly the sarcastic words of those customers who come to the store are, doesn't that tear our hearts out? ”

"It's not too early, or my mother-in-law will have a meal at our house before leaving, I have a very mouthful of mouth recently, and I eat lightly, but it is difficult for my mother-in-law to accompany me to suffer."

He took a deep breath, no longer thinking about Du Shi's words, and tightly squeezed the handle of the basket that was carried in the crook of his left arm with his right hand. I sat on a cold bench after entering the door. The tea is also made with cold water, and she didn't say a few words. On the contrary, he heard a string of unpleasant words, and now the delicacies of the mountains and seas are placed in front of him, and she can't eat them. Although she originally intended to find out what the third daughter-in-law had done. But Du's speculation really made her unhappy.

Originally, I planned to give Du Shi a lot of eggs to replenish his body and stay in the basket, of course, this time Du Shi used a more filial reason - it is not easy to save some eggs at home, we can't go home to help, so we leave it to my mother-in-law to supplement nutrition. How does He know that people don't disdain her things at all, the eggs and flour that Li Cong brought back when he got married last time were thrown out of the car by Du Shi with a basket when the Li family couldn't see it, what can't she buy if she has money? Still a little bit of it?

As the party who married the husband, Du was already a little arrogant, and Li Zhuang's father refused to let Li Zhuang join him. This made her feel resentful in her heart, and her original appreciation turned into anger, although in the end Li Zhuang still became the son-in-law of the inverted door, but can she feel the same as the first time she talked about it?

She raised her chin and told the little maid, "Go, throw that set of teacups to me, brush that chair carefully and carefully three times, and then smoke incense." ”

The little maid said yes and took the teacup. Then came through the door, and went out on chairs carried by two little maids.

"Help me back to my room." Du Shi raised his right hand.

The henchman bent his knees slightly, holding Du's right hand and helping him get up, but someone came behind him to report.

"Miss. My uncle is back. ”

Du Shi paused, turned his head slightly, and frowned a little dissatisfied.

"Who informed my uncle? Go down and get 20 boards by yourself. The henchman on the side hurriedly shouted. She has the longest years with Du. I also know Du's mind best. If she could, the young lady would like to break off with the Li family cleanly. It doesn't matter at all. Every time I see the people of the Li family, Miss feels uncomfortable, and it is good to drive people out because of filial piety. As for the poor relatives fighting the autumn breeze, it is completely impossible, and the young lady will never let it, but fortunately, the Li family is not so uninteresting.

Li Zhuangxing hurriedly walked into the outer courtyard, followed by Fugui, a little girl who reported the news, stopped a sprinkler girl and asked, "The old lady is talking to the lady now?" ”

Du's mother died early, and the old lady in Li Zhuang's mouth naturally referred to the He family. It has been less than a year since the little girl entered the Du family, but she also knew that the uncle in front of her had no status at all in the family, and said that the master was not as decent as the big housekeeper. Isn't the old lady just an old woman in the country? He rolled his eyes, snorted lightly, and spit out two words: "Gone." ”

"What kind of attitude do you have, how do you talk to the master, believe it or not, I will reward you with a meal." Fugui immediately jumped out and shouted.

The sprinkler girl looked at Fugui with the expression that you are an idiot, and said arrogantly: "Fugui, I know you want to show your face in front of your uncle, but I advise you to keep your eyes open and don't make a mistake." This is an uncle, not a master. If you don't change your name, don't blame me for not warning you in advance. ”

Uncle, in essence, is an outsider, master, is the master of the family, in the Du family, is Li Zhuang the master?

"Jean, I'm still sweeping the floor." The sprinkler girl reminded her to pay attention, and the broom in her hand had already swept the broken leaves cut off by the pruning to Li Zhuang's feet.

"Dare to be a slave!" Although good men don't fight with women, the act of sprinkling and sweeping girls is too much, it is simply a bully, Fugui raised his sleeves to teach the other party a lesson.

"It's really a bold slave!" There was a cold scolding from the big butler from behind.

As soon as Fugui heard that it was the big housekeeper, he immediately turned his head and said, "The big housekeeper, you came just in time, this girl"

The girl hurriedly saluted, and two little maids immediately stepped forward and twisted Fugui's arms and escorted him down, and the chief steward also said: "Bold Fugui, instigate my uncle, the young lady has an order, and the cane will be punished by twenty." ”

"I didn't, I didn't instigate my uncle." Fugui, who was still covered with his head and brain, immediately cried out, and asked Li Zhuang for help: "Uncle, save me, uncle, uncle"

As soon as he turned the corner, Fugui's voice was inaudible, and the chief housekeeper turned his head to the backyard with a fist at Li Zhuang, preparing to be sentenced. Only Li Zhuang was standing alone in the courtyard, one hand tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.

"He Yingzhi!" Someone was shouting from behind.

He continued to move forward without reacting, and waited until the person shouted a second time, and He Shi realized that someone was calling her by her name, and she was called by Li He, He for so many years, and it really felt strange at first glance. It's been more than 30 years, and it's been a long time. She turned around, looked at the person in front of her with some confusion, her brain moved quickly, her eyes suddenly widened, and she lost her voice: "Zhang Xiuzhi!" ”

When He and Zhang Xiuzhi were young, they were called the "Shuangzhi" of Hejia Village. Not only because their names have a Zhi character in them, but more importantly, the two of them are first-class experts in embroidery and weaving both at home and in the field. He is the granddaughter of the former village chief, with a good face and love to fight unevenly, quite a chivalrous woman, Zhang Xiuzhi is a lost girl who fell into Hejia Village, gentle and graceful, well-behaved and quiet, and the completely different personalities of the two are also endearing. Although it is from the same village, the two usually have no intersection, and can only be regarded as acquaintances. But God tricked him, and the two were still entangled together - Zhang Xiuzhi fell in love with Li Dahai, but Li Dahai asked someone to propose marriage to the He family. As if inadvertently, the two became rivals in love. After figuring out why Zhang Xiuzhi provoked two or three times, He also sulked with Li Dahai for a while.

After the He family got married, he rarely returned to the village, and he heard less about Zhang Xiuzhi. It was only when she visited relatives later that she heard her eldest brother mention that after Zhang Xiuzhi's mother went, she followed a passing businessman away, and no news came back since. This parting is more than 30 years, and when they meet again, it is already a matter of right and wrong, and the two people who don't deal with each other actually meet again.

He Shi looked at the blessed and compelling woman in front of him, with white skin and thin waist, palms clasped on his abdomen, and noble and comfortable. If it weren't for the shallow fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she would still look like a young woman in her twenties. Each hand carries a few gold rings, and behind him there is a servant, like the wife of a large family. But this rich outfit didn't react much in He's eyes, but saw the shadow of the graceful Jiangnan woman back then.

Zhang Xiuzhi was not idle to look at He's, with a round bun and a silver hairpin on her head, her skin was a little tanned, and she was already saggy, older than the housekeeper mother beside her. She stood there with a basket, her eyes were not shocked, and there was neither surprise nor surprise on her face, Zhang Xiuzhi seemed to have seen the appearance of the arrogant granddaughter of the village chief back then. So, she grinned.

On the surface, but in fact she is not very good, after the widow left, she lived a difficult life, and followed the passing Jin Shang to become the fifth concubine of his family. At first, the two were also sweet and affectionate for a while, but soon she was miserable by the conspiracies of the other concubines, big or small. In front of the merchant, the other concubines didn't dare to use any tricks, and made her suffer behind her back, so she kept forbearing, thinking that as long as she was pregnant, she could turn over. When she conceived a child as she wished, she was happy to welcome the sixth concubine not long after. After a lonely day, she finally began to realize her situation: the merchant's wife was also the daughter of a rich family, with two sons and a daughter, and her position was firmly established, and the concubines were also sent by people who had business dealings, and there were four or five concubines, so she had no background. In this way, the child in her belly is also an embarrassing position, and there are no more children in her belly, and there is no less than one child. The man was unreliable, so she began to think about her own way out. The backyard is a woman's world, so her only way out is to hug his wife's thighs. She is also a ruthless person, and after making up her mind, she drank the soup in front of her wife, which brought her today's seemingly glorious life.

Not long ago, the merchant died of illness, and the family was in chaos for the family property, and she had no children and no daughters, so she naturally had nothing to fight for, so she begged her wife to return to her hometown. gave her a thousand taels of ceremonies, allowed her to take away the things in her house, and the servants who served him also gave her, so that she now looks like a rich lady returning to her hometown.

"I didn't expect that the first acquaintance I met after returning to my hometown was you." Zhang Xiuzhi seemed to sigh and seem to be nostalgic, stared at He's eyes and said, "Where is the cemetery of the sea, I want to go and pay respects." (To be continued......)
