Chapter 5 Is My Mother Pregnant?
In the dim West Wing Ear Room, Mother Zhu was pulling her coat to wrap her chubby body, and she was wearing a belt, and the door was kicked open from the outside with a bang.
The menacing Gui Zhi blocked the door with a bunch of girls, and the red-dyed Kodan pointed straight ahead, "It's Zhu Jiuhong who smashed the kitchen without reason, and she has to prepare dinner for the six girls to drink the whole herbal soup of unknown origin!" Take her to grandma and let her judge herself! ”
A few hands pounced on Zhu's mother, pulled her hair and grabbed her breasts, and pushed and shoved Zhu's mother, who looked like a small mountain, out of the door, and into the yard.
"Phew! That's a bunch of pigs and dogs! Mother Zhu was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves, and her big fist was about to smash Gui Zhi's head, but she subconsciously glanced at Man Yun's room, but saw Du Shi standing in the shadow under the eaves with a cold face.
Mother Zhu closed her fist, bowed her head, silenced, and let a group of women shout around her.
Seeing that Zhu's mother, who had always been fierce, wilted in front of herself, Gui Zhi smiled proudly, and half of her face was red and swollen, which was even more hideous.
She trembled with one hand and picked up the herb basket she had just picked up from the kitchen, and with the other hand she poked the tip of Zhu's mother's nose with her rampant fingers.
"You're fierce! The eldest grandmother entrusted me with the management of things, but you came to abuse me. What kind of rotten medicine and weed can also enter the courtyard of the Zhou family? Fortunately, the sixth girl in your room is just a sister, not more expensive than her brother, so you can pick up the fifth grandmother to fiddle around, don't take the medicine prescribed by the doctor, eat these poisonous weeds, you will definitely find death......"
"In my opinion, you're the one looking for death, right?" , The sound of questions coming from not far away was light, with a slight coquettish tail.
Gui Zhi, who was scolding happily, quickly reached out to cover his lips, and his face was ruddy with excitement, and the ground became pale at once.
A bamboo stick in the fence of the flower garden in the courtyard has been pulled up, and it is held in the hands of Du Shanshan, who is clothed in red, and the wind is leading the way to the frightened cinnamon branch.
Let Guizhi cry and beg for mercy, dodging left and right, the sound of bamboo shoots frying meat is endless in the small courtyard......
Zhou Manyun, who was lying in the room, seemed to be sleeping instead of sleeping, and listened to a series of bangs faintly coming from the courtyard.
But it was the exaggerated voice of a woman who raised her crying and woke her up completely.
"Madame, you have to call the shots for me! The fifth grandmother is about to kill the slave maid! ”
This voice, not only Man Yun, but also the relatives of the Zhou family, who lived in Pingzhou, who were already crowded in the courtyard, whether they really didn't hear it just now, or those who pretended not to hear it were shocked.
Vaguely hearing that it was about his mother, Zhou Manyun supported his weak little body, turned over and got out of bed, and staggered towards the door.
Xiao Man, who also got up, rubbed his loose eyes, and jumped forward a few steps forward with a little numb foot to hold Man Yun in his arms, with a panicked face. "Sister Yun! I'll carry you to bed. ”
Zhou Manyun waved his hand and pointed firmly to the door.
Leaning beside Xiao Man, through the unrolled curtain edges, Zhou Manyun squinted at the very lively courtyard.
In the main house directly north of the small courtyard, the curtain was lifted, and then several maids and daughters stood at the door with a richly dressed middle-aged woman, looking coldly at the pile of people standing or kneeling in the courtyard.
Under the sun, only Du Shi was still standing idly, one foot on the ground, the other foot raised and stepped on the back of a woman who was lying on her stomach and sobbing, and the tips of the red embroidered shoes were beaded into colorful winged butterflies ready to fly.
Guizhi, who was stepped on by Du Shi, saw that someone came out of the upper room, so she wanted to raise her head and continue to scream, and a bamboo stick stuck to her forehead pierced straight into the soil.
The half-whimpered and choked with the foam, but he couldn't even hear the inaudible sobs.
Is this a mother? My Zhou Manyun's biological mother? Xiao Manyun's little hand tightly grabbed the cotton curtain, and the knuckles of his ten fingers revealed a nervous and excited whiteness.
But the next situation was unexpected by Zhou Manyun, and it took a sharp turn for the worse.
Seeing that Gui Zhi didn't dare to make a sound, Du's red figure rushed straight to the door of the main room, grabbed the arm of the sister-in-law Xie, Ying Ying knelt down, and the pear blossoms on her face were raining, and she hid her face in the room and cried.
"Please also ask the mother to call the shots for the daughter-in-law! It was really this slave who bullied the master, and the ostomy industry slandered Sister Yun's son, so the daughter-in-law couldn't help but teach her a few lessons. But she shouted all over the sky, purely to defeat my Zhou family. Mother, you love Wulang the most, and Wulang treats Sister Yun as if he is an eyeball, if he knows that I can't stop the lowly people from arranging Sister Yun, I, how can I explain it......"
Du's cry was extremely light and clear, not known to the whole house, but it could also be passed into Mrs. Zhou's upper room without any mistake.
Mother is kneeling! Zhou Manyun, who was separated by a distance, couldn't really hear it, and only watched his mother, who had been lost in this life, kneeling on the ground and crying, his heart aching.
The adoptive child knew the kindness of his parents, and he knelt on the ground that day, and only for the child's life, and the arrogant mother who was so arrogant when he beat Guizhi was not for her daughter, how could it be? Zhou Manyun's eyes were hot, his small body pounced forward, and he ran towards Du Shi with a loose step.
"Mother!" , called true, tears have been like rain.
"Sister Yun!" , Du Shi straightened his back and half-twisted, and the original pretended grievances were replaced by ten out of ten panic.
Zhou Manyun's fast running body shook in the stuffy yard, and she was about to be planted on the ground, but Zhu's mother's hand caught her in time.
Mother Zhu glared at Xiao Man, who was running behind Man Yun, and raised her hand to hand Man Yun into Xiao Man's outstretched arm.
"Don't! Mother! Zhou Manyun turned his head away, and pointed a small hand straight at Du Shi, who was still kneeling at the feet of the eldest grandmother Xie.
Mother Zhu panicked, and rushed to Du's side directly with Man Yun in her arms, and knelt down, grinning directly in a loud voice, "Madam, don't let Miss My family kneel, if you want to punish the old slave, Miss My family is still pregnant......"
Pregnancy? Mother Zhu's words, Zhou Manyun, who was sitting in the crook of her strong arm, was stunned, and a pair of big black and white eyes stared at Du's flat abdomen motionlessly.
"Yikes! Is this true? Xie Shi, the grandmother who was originally looking down at the top of Du's hair with a cold face, instantly softened the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly leaned over to help Du Shi.
Du Shi, who was a head taller than Xie Shi, stood up with his hand, lowered his head shyly, and whispered, "It should be." I've counted it myself, and I've only been on the body for two months, so maybe it's a ...... on the road."
A loud or low congratulatory sound, accompanied by Xie's surprised smile, rang out all around.
"Mother Zhu! You take Sister Yun back to the room first! Come back to your knees later! Xie Shi, who turned to Zhu's mother again, smiled, and his face was frosty.
Du gently tugged at Xie's sleeve, Xie smiled warmly, and the two of them took their arms affectionately and entered the upper room together.
As soon as the curtain in the upper room was lowered, Man Yun stood up from Mother Zhu's arms, and her little hand kept pointing to Mrs. Zhou's room, and she only screamed in her mouth, "Mother, mother......"
Zhou Manyun, who said too much, and was anxious to know what was going on, could only hold on and sell small with a small one.
Mother Zhu, who couldn't resist Manyun, looked embarrassed, and she couldn't leave, nor did she stay.
After a while, a beautiful maid came out of Mrs. Zhou's room, stretched out her hand to take Man Yun from Mother Zhu's arms, and coldly ordered, "Mrs. Xu Yun'er go in and ask for peace, and if you are tired of Mother Zhu, you will kneel under the corridor with Sister Gui Zhi and wait for it to fall." ”
Man Yun didn't care about Zhu's mother's punishment and knelt, and directly followed up with his grandmother, Mrs. Zhou.
In the room with the doors and windows closed, a faint warm fragrance rushed straight in, making Man Yun, who ran to Du Shi, unconsciously wrinkle his little nose.
The fragrance enters the nose as if it is natural, and then subdivided into several wisps. Compared with her previous life, this sensitive and weird feeling made Man Yun a little impetuous, and she quietly held her breath and calmed down, and she raised her eyes and looked around.
When he woke up a few days, Zhou Manyun only stayed in his own room, looking at the furniture and furnishings were very simple, but it really matched the appearance of living in a foreign land.
But Mrs. Zhou's room is different, the furniture is generally the same as that in Manyun's house, which is obviously a rented bargain, but the apricot-colored silk curtain on the bed frame, the sleeping toad spitting gold incense burner lit in the house, and the mirror box next to the bed, there is a faint hint of the Zhou family style that Zhou Manyun was familiar with in his previous life.
Sure enough, the statement in the previous life about his mother's birth in the cold family of the North should also be true. Zhou Manyun thought about it, and clenched Du's hand even more distressedly.
Mrs. Zhou is only fifty-seven years old, and because of proper maintenance, she can still vaguely see the good appearance of the year.
It's just that Mrs. Zhou had a golden silk bat blue brocade on her head that made her show her twilight, and she looked sick, leaning on the bedside pillow with her eyes closed. There were also four daughters-in-law who were waiting for the sick around the bedside, and the young woman looked like a flower, but it set off her appearance of dying or not.
As soon as Zhou Manyun saw Mrs. Zhou, he consciously knelt at the head of the bed, and waited to wake up.
Based on the experience of his previous life, Man Yun knew that Mrs. Zhou's old Xie family, who claimed to be the most noble and longest-standing Xie family in Jiangnan, was extremely respectful of rules and etiquette. And since Man Yun can remember clearly in his previous life, Mrs. Zhou has been sick like this.
Two years later, in the second year of Taiye, when Man Yun was seven years old, his grandfather Zhou Xian had been tortured and passed away from old sores that had relapsed, and Mrs. Zhou officially handed over the housekeeping to her eldest daughter-in-law Xie Shi, and became Mrs. Rongyang. But until the year Man Yun died, according to the news that was deliberately sent, the Zhou family's wife, Lao Xie, was still alive and well, seventy-seven years old.
"Mother! Sister Yun greets you! Grandma Xie looked helplessly at her sleeve that was pulled by Du's, and reminded Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou is the aunt of the eldest grandmother Xie, and the two families of Zhou and Xie are close to each other, so Xie has always been the eldest daughter-in-law who is the most popular with Mrs. Zhou, and her pleas are a hundred times more effective than other daughters-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou raised her eyelids tiredly, and motioned to Yinxia, the eldest girl standing beside the bed, to help Man Yun up, and a loving smile appeared on her face, "Good boy! I'm always sick and in bad spirits, and you don't remind me sooner. ”
"Mother, look at it, Sister Yun is really much better!" , Min Shi, the aunt of the fourth room, smiled, snatched Man Yun from Yinxia's hand, and pushed towards Mrs. Zhou's bed.
In an instant, Zhou Manyun, who was carrying an adult soul, saw the disgust that flashed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, and his heart was shocked.
In her previous life, she was not close to her grandmother, Mrs. Zhou. Except for the New Year's Festival, Mrs. Zhou rarely saw her.
The second aunt, Gao, explained the little Manyun in her previous life, once said that Mrs. Zhou also loved Manyun very much, but later Manyun's parents went early, and when the old man saw Manyun, he would think of his own pair of beautiful sons and daughters-in-law, and in order to prevent sadness and sadness, they gradually became estranged.
It turned out that my grandmother didn't like me in the first place. Xiao Manyun secretly raised his eyebrows, quickly glanced at the lying second aunt Gao, turned around and threw herself into Du's arms.
When he pounced, Man Yun was very careful, wrapped his arms around Du's neck, leaned on the edge of Du's chair, and carefully avoided Du's stomach.
"I won't touch it!" , the daughter was deliberately careful, and couldn't help but make Du Shiwan smile, but stretched out his hand and hugged Man Yun to his lap.
"Zhe'er's heir is difficult, you gave birth to Sister Yun for five years before you became pregnant again, so be careful." , Mrs. Zhou turned the Buddha beads in her hand to remind Du Shi, but she didn't let Man Yun go.
