Chapter Eighty-Three: Shame Again
Da Lang and Liu Ruyi's shop closed down, and they couldn't operate at all. The land in the village is drying up and no seedlings are growing at all. Many families who are already poor and cannot eat fine grains have begun to make cakes and drink rice porridge with sorghum wrapped in vegetable leaves.
Fortunately, Dong Xiaoman had food in his hand and was not panicked, but he didn't dare to say that his food was hidden in the warehouse on his mountain. She is also afraid that this natural disaster will last for three and a half years, and when the time comes, she will take two dolls to ask for food?
A person's life is actually very simple, steam two bowls of egg custard for Huanhuan every day. The big bowl is for Huanhuan, and the small bowl is for Jue'er. You only need three eggs, and the chickens at home can be supplied.
Then boil a pot of sticky and glutinous millet porridge and give it to the two children to drink with themselves. It's very simple to eat yourself, and a roasted sweet potato is also a meal.
There are more snacks for children, glutinous rice dumplings, egg tarts, and small cakes. Every time I do very little, and most of the time Zhu'er comes to do it when there is nothing to do.
Bao'er knew that the second aunt's family still had a lot to eat, and he knew in his heart that the second aunt loved her two younger siblings very much. So he comes often, and he eats it all up regardless of whether the second aunt is happy or not. Sometimes the Li family came to look for the child, and when he saw Bao'er gobbling up Huanhuan's snacks, he didn't care, and said happily: "Look at how good their brothers are." ”
Now the food is very expensive, how old is your son and he still eats up my child's snacks, are you embarrassed to be a mother? It's not Dong Xiaoman who picks the door, she is also a mother, and she is also worried about running out of ingredients for her children.
You must know that the only food you hoard is rice, noodles, sorghum rice, millet, and buckwheat. Sweet potatoes only. Red beans, sesame seeds, mung beans, and soybeans are not many in my own home, and they are just the ones in the cellar.
So every time Boa comes to the door. Dong Xiaoman always hides what he eats and doesn't take it out. Bao'er saw that there was no dim sum and actually asked Dong Xiaoman for it, Dong Xiaoman lied and said that without him, he didn't believe it, and the royal complaint was sued directly to Mrs. Zhang.
From this time on, Dong Xiaoman felt that Bao'er's child was not only spoiled by the family, but she felt that this child had some flaws in quality.
"Erlang's family. It's not me talking about you. Are you hiding that food from my eldest grandson? Mrs. Zhang led Bao'er to look at her and asked angrily.
Dong Xiaoman sat in the hall with the child in his arms, and explained very innocently: "You also know the current situation, where do I dare to make snacks for the child?" It's good to have enough to eat, but fortunately, my child doesn't eat much and isn't hungry. ”
Bao'er didn't believe it, and pulled Mrs. Zhang and said, "Grandma, grandma." The second aunt has food at home, so she must hide it for her sister to eat, and she won't give it to me. ”
Mrs. Zhang hesitated. I saw Bao'er shaking her arm fiercely and said aggrievedly: "The second aunt gave my sister egg custard, and I want to eat it too." ”
Mrs. Zhang frowned and glared at Dong Xiaoman: "I won't say anything if you give my grandson to eat, what are you doing with that girl." It's a waste of money, so it's better to save it for my grandson. ”
Dong Xiaoman was angry, raised his eyebrows and said in a bad voice: "Mother-in-law, are you here to pick me again?" My own child can't even eat an egg. That's my chicken and I'm willing to give it to him. It's not that his family doesn't have it, and he still has to reach out to me when he eats so fat? If he wants to eat, he can ask his father and mother, and if I am an aunt, what kind of fat man can I fill if I have no food at home? Besides, is it possible that his father and mother run a restaurant to give him less food? ”
Mrs. Zhang was unhappy: "What are you yelling about?" But just one sentence, it's really unvirtuous for an aunt of yours to treat her nephew so unlovingly. My son doesn't know why Lu Dao was blind and married such a white-eyed wolf as you, hum. ”
Dong Xiaoman laughed angrily: "I remember that it seems that the Zhang family married me in order to repay the favor, but I haven't seen how to repay the favor." I think the Zhang family owes us three times or twice. ”
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang didn't like to listen to it, and remembered the uncomfortable thing just now: "I knocked on a stick of incense outside. What are you doing at home and not opening the door? ”
Dong Xiaoman pouted and said, "The child's crying is too loud, I can't hear it in the back." ”
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it, who didn't know that her little grandson was as well-behaved as a kitten. said with a sneer: "Let me tell you, my son is not at home, you live alone in such a big house, don't do that shame to me." If I know the truth, I won't spare you. ”
Dong Xiaoman got up and said loudly: "Mother-in-law's words are so ugly, are you saying that I can't live with Erlang?" I don't know what kind of heart my mother-in-law has, or let my eldest son buy my house cheaply. Either they drove away the in-laws who came to be my companions and serve the children, and now they want to slander me. I'm really sad in my heart, if my mother-in-law doesn't like me, I can find the village chief to leave me, why bother forcing me everywhere? ”
Mrs. Zhang jumped up and pointed at Dong Xiaoman angrily: "You, you don't talk nonsense." I didn't want to divorce you, how can there be a daughter-in-law like you, I say that you have a hundred words to contradict. I'd rather go to the village chief and let him call the shots for me. ”
Maybe it's also because Dong Xiaoman is unhappy, and he has been troubled by miscellaneous things for several days, and he really got into trouble with the village chief on impulse.
Mrs. Zhang is not looking for her wife and son to make her own decisions like before, she has already found that as long as she quarrels with this second daughter-in-law, it must be her own fault. So this time, she thought she was very smart and went to the village chief, and things got bigger.
What is it called? Is it a snack or a bloody case caused by egg custard?
The people in the village didn't have any entertainment projects, and when they saw that Mrs. Zhang was angry and looked for the village chief and took the village chief to her second son's house, they all followed.
Dong Xiaoman also let people inform his friend and sister-in-law at this time, she is the most aware of her situation and can help at a critical time. Fortunately, the village chief's daughter-in-law usually has frequent contacts with him and has a good relationship, so Dong Xiaoman is still not so scared in his heart.
The door of Erlang's house opened again, and many people inside and outside were watching the excitement.
Dong Xiaoman's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't fall, and that pitiful appearance really added a lot of impression points to himself.
Hearing their contradictions, the village chief was a little speechless, and asked Mrs. Zhang in disbelief: "Do you just think that the eldest grandson is looking for his daughter-in-law when he comes to the second son's house and doesn't get anything to eat?" ”
Mrs. Zhang wouldn't admit it so stupidly, she just pointed at Dong Xiaoman and said, "Her mouth is not clean, and she is disrespectful to me." ”
The village chief didn't believe it, but he had a few encounters with Dong Xiaoman, and he knew that she was a reasonable and gentle woman. At the moment, he scared Bao'er with a black face, and the words came out of Bao'er's mouth in a few words.
Bao'er is a master in the nest, and she has long been frightened by the village chief and cried and grinned and told the truth. Mrs. Zhang wanted to scold the village chief angrily while protecting her grandson, but she didn't dare.
This is the men of the Zhang family who came here again helplessly and humiliated, and the old man Zhang has reached the point where he pulled Mrs. Zhang away without saying anything.
Where is Mrs. Zhang willing, she has to let the village chief make her own decisions.
Dong Xiaoman had no choice but to speak: "Father-in-law, the daughter-in-law did say something to her mother-in-law that she shouldn't say. ”
Mrs. Zhang suddenly pulled off Old Man Zhang's clamps, jumped out and shouted, "I heard it, you all heard it." She admitted it to herself, what else do I have to fear. She is an unfilial poisonous woman, and my son's life and death are uncertain, and she is bullying the family at home. ”
The noble sister-in-law was sarcastic on the side: "You still know that your son's life and death are uncertain, so you are still looking for trouble and bullying your daughter-in-law all day long." ”
Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "When did I find trouble and bully her?" ”
The sister-in-law sneered: "The big guy counts how many times this is the first time he has made trouble, which time is it justified?" I think there is something hidden this time, your son is not at home, your daughter-in-law has just given birth to a child, and she can provoke you by living behind closed doors with two children, I don't know what else can not be provoked by you. ”
Mrs. Zhang trembled angrily and stammered, "You, you, shut up." The little woman raised it, where do you know what is going on here, and the rotten goods who are used to meddling in things don't know if the road is clean. ”
This is insulting, your sister-in-law angrily stepped forward to tear up with her and scolded everyone, and after everyone pulled away, your sister-in-law cried: "Everyone has seen it, what kind of character I am, everyone knows a little bit about it for decades." Now I just said a few fair words to be arranged by her like this, which shows how difficult it is for this son to go to war and not know how difficult it is for her daughter-in-law to live or die on weekdays. ”
Dong Xiaoman suddenly stepped forward at this time to cover the pear blossoms that were crying with her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, don't say it, don't say it." ”
After the sister-in-law broke free, she said angrily: "Tell me why, you say." If you don't say that I am also scolded in vain, you don't say that who knows your suffering? ”
At this time, the village chief's wife hugged Huanhuan and said, "Huanhuan, what about your food." You take it out and give it to me to taste, you see so many uncles and uncles like you, you give everyone a taste. ”
Today's day, Bao'er often comes to fight the autumn breeze, and every time Huanhuan has a snack, Dong Xiaoman doesn't do it, so she has to lie to her: "Let my brother eat nothing, we don't have it." "Fooling the past, although it is the truth, but I don't want this little person to remember it.
And Huanhuan also saw Bao'er eat all the food in her snack box, almost as soon as Bao'er came, there was no food, and her young heart was also hurt a little.
Huanhuan burst into tears when she heard this, and shouted while crying: "Don't, no, it's gone, Huanhuan's fragrance is gone." It's all my brother who eats it, my brother is bad, my brother is bad. ”
Everyone knew in their hearts that it seemed that there was really no food left, after all, they were all nervous now. It's hard for people to make some food and let your children eat it, and now that you've eaten it all, you don't feel embarrassed but have to come to the door to ask for an explanation, which is really embarrassing.
Da Lang heard it clearly, his face was flushed, and he felt that he was really ashamed to die, how could Bao'er be the same as his mother.
The village chief's daughter-in-law said again: "I said Erlang's family, but you told me what you said to make your mother-in-law so angry!" Everyone also persuaded one after another, and the curiosity factor was hung to make people itch. (To be continued.)
