Volume II, Chapter XVII

This Wang Yunlong's family has lived in the eldest brother's house for more than half a month, not to mention eating and drinking every day, Wang Yunlong does not go out to look for a job, his wife does not do housework, and the two of them sleep lazily and go shopping all day long. His children couldn't stop shouting and playing all day long in the yard. I went into that room casually, and I saw that everything was fresh, and I dared to take anything. There are no rules at the dinner table, when it is time to eat, none of them care, there is more meat in that bowl, the dishes in that bowl are delicious, and several pairs of chopsticks are eaten like a whirlwind. Wang Yunqing's family is a family that talks about etiquette and rules and likes to be quiet, and they must not be used to these uneducated behaviors, they just can't say anything because of their feelings, they all endure it in their hearts first, thinking that when they are sent away, the family will be idle, but no one knows when Wang Yunlong's family will be able to leave. One day for dinner, Gui Fang made a plate of his favorite braised hairtail fish for his father-in-law, this fish was just served on the table, and others had not moved the chopsticks, Zheng Meiqin first used chopsticks to take away a piece of fish for her son, and then her two daughters also got off the chopsticks. Gui Fang finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, she "snapped" the table and said sharply: "Second aunt, why don't your family have any rules?" Do you know whose house this is? ”

Zheng Meiqin pouted and said, "Yo! What's wrong with us? Look, you're scaring the kids! ”

"It's not that you won't be allowed to eat this fish, but you let our old man eat it first! How come you don't know to respect your elders? What are you robbing? Look at the gluttony of you, the harazi has flowed to the ground, as if you have never eaten fish in your life. ”

"Who are you sarcastic? Let me tell you, we grew up on the edge of the Renhai River in Tianjin, and we eat fish every day, and we eat more fish in a day than you eat in a year! This Zheng Meiqin's mouth is also very neat.

"I have a good life of eating fish every day, why do you go to Beijing to join our family? Eating fish every day is still so undecent! ”

Wang Yunlong was also angry when he heard Gui Fang sarcastically mock his own family, he patted the table and said: "I said nephew and daughter-in-law, you can't talk like this, this is my eldest brother's home, I take refuge in my eldest brother, this is our brother's business, how old are you?" Can you handle it? ”

"Second uncle, you said I couldn't take care of it, right? Okay, don't eat the food I cook from tomorrow, I really don't want to care about you! ”

Wang Yunlong pursed his lips: "Drink!" Isn't it just a little daughter-in-law, what's the big deal! ”

"Second brother, I have to say a fair word for Gui Fang tonight" Mrs. Wang, who has always been calm-hearted, really can't stand it.

"Gui Fang is a member of the Wang family when she enters the door of the Wang family, she is now the daughter-in-law of our family, she worries about the affairs of the family, she is busy all day long, and she has to cook the meals of the whole family, why can't she care about this? Besides, your daughter-in-law and a few children are really unruly and ignorant, and they don't know how to be polite at the dinner table, so I will take a nap at noon, and your children are shouting and screaming in the yard so much that I can't sleep, and I have been dizzy these days; There are also the two pomegranate trees in front of the door, and the pomegranates on the trees have not grown yet, so they are all picked by your precious son! How annoying! You parents don't know how to take care of your children. ”

Wang Yunlong saw that his sister-in-law was unhappy, so he had to stop talking. Wang Yunqing, who had not spoken for a long time, said to Wang Yunlong and his wife: "This child has been a sapling since he was a child, and it depends on the pruning of his parents if he wants them to grow well. Do you want them to grow up like you? ”

Wang Yunlong nodded: "That's what I said, I'll go down and teach the children a good lesson." ”

"Have you found a job?"

"Nope."

"Did you not find it or did you not find it?"

"Big brother, what's the hurry. Didn't I just arrive in Beijing a few days ago, so I took Meiqin to play around and look around. ”

"Second brother, you have been spoiled by your parents since you were a child, and you are lazy and useless! Tell you, don't expect me to go to me in the future, you hurry up and find a job! There are no parasites in the new society, and I don't raise people who eat for nothing! Wang Yunqing didn't finish dinner, he angrily put down his chopsticks and left.

Gui Fangmei stood up before eating, she told her mother-in-law that she had a headache and wanted to go back to the house to rest first, and Mrs. Wang saw Gui Fang's thoughts and agreed. After a while, Shuzhen, Wang Hongxing and Mrs. Wang all left, and only Wang Yunlong's family was left at the dinner table. Zheng Meiqin looked at the table of food and said with a smile: "Everyone is gone, come!" Let's wrap up all the food on this table! When her eldest son heard his mother say this, he immediately brought the plate of braised hairtail to him.

"You're rude! Let's eat together! Wang Yunlong said and put the fish back in the middle of the table, his son quit, and reached out to take the fish plate back in front of him, Wang Yunlong slapped him on the back of the head angrily, and the son just sat on the ground and cried "wow"!

"I'm going to cry and cry!" Wang Yunlong grabbed his son's ears and wanted to drag him out of the door, Zheng Meiqin saw this and hurriedly got up and pulled her son into the house, "Fuck! You've spoiled this kid! Wang Yunlong opened his mouth and scolded his wife, and the family started a fight.

Gui Fang was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night, and when she got up in the morning, she felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, so she went to a hospital she was familiar with to see a doctor, and only returned home when it was almost time to have lunch. She came to the kitchen and saw her mother-in-law cooking with sweat on her head, and she couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward to help. Gui Fang complained while doing it: "Mom, my second aunt is too ignorant, their family of five lives in our house, not to mention eating and drinking for nothing, she doesn't even know how to cook, this kind of person is really rare!" ”

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Who let our Wang family have such an uncompetitive brother, no problem!" Your second uncle is not angry, can his wife be good? ”

"Mom, this is our family, they have to talk about the rules. Otherwise, we'll bomb them away. ”

"I had a long-night fight with your dad last night, he always said that the Wang family only had two of them, and he couldn't write two Wang characters in one stroke, and his younger brother was in trouble, and his brother didn't help let the family poke the backbone."

"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, what's going on?" Gui Fang pursed her mouth high.

"Hey! Isn't it! Who has a way if your dad doesn't speak? I don't feel comfortable looking at their family! ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and cooked, and when it came to lunch, Wang Yunlong and his wife walked into the restaurant with their three children, and immediately surrounded half of the table. Gui Fang was not very angry when she saw them, she pointed at Zheng Meiqin and said: "You know that you eat for nothing, let my mother cook for your family alone, you let people serve you all day long, are you embarrassed to eat this meal?" Second aunt, let me ask you, don't you know how to cook? ”

Zheng Meiqin shook her head and said unhurriedly: "Gui Fang, you don't know, I have been a young lady since I was a child, and I can't cook at all, besides, your family has high tastes, and you can't eat the food I cook!" If you don't believe it, ask your second uncle. ”

Wang Yunlong said to his wife: "Okay, don't talk nonsense!" I've never seen you so lazy, so you'll help your sister-in-law in the kitchen in the future, and you'll brush the bowl after dinner. ”

Gui Fang said angrily: "Second aunt, don't lose by doing more work!" Besides, you're doing it for yourself. ”

"Yo, you also taught your aunt a lesson, since we entered the door of the Wang family, you picked your nose and didn't want to see us, I know that you can't tolerate us because you are afraid that we will hinder you from occupying the property of the Wang family in the future! As far as you girl's ghost thoughts, I can see it with my eyes closed! ”

When Gui Fang heard this, her eyebrows immediately rose, and she slapped the table and stood up; "Who does our Wang family's property give to or not, are you in charge of it as an outsider?"

"Look, let me speak, be angry! Ha ha! Zheng Meiqin added fuel to the fire and said.

Gui Fang's anger when she ate late last night has not disappeared, today this Zheng Meiqin is provocative again, Gui Fang, who has a strong temperament, was said to be angry, she poured a bowl of uneaten meals at Zheng Meiqin, and made Zheng Meiqin a big face. Zheng Meiqin is a person who can't suffer, she screamed "whoop", picked up a plate of vegetables and threw it at Gui Fang, but it didn't smash on Gui Fang's body but sprinkled Mrs. Wang's face, at this time, Wang Yunlong's eldest son saw that his mother was being bullied, and he clenched his fist and rushed to Gui Fang's body and raised his hand to fight, and was pushed far away by Gui Fang.

Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Wang, who had always been calm, couldn't help it, and she shouted: "Stop!" You're all reversed! ”

When everyone saw that Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, they all stopped. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she slammed the rice bowl in her hand on the table and said, "I can't eat this meal today, you all let me go!" Walk! ”

Wang Yunlong hurriedly came to his sister-in-law to make amends, and Zheng Meiqin also stepped forward to wipe the vegetable soup sticky on her sister-in-law's face.

After the whole lunch, several people finished eating with a straight face and angry, and after eating, everyone left, Wang Yunlong frowned and washed all the dishes and chopsticks alone and cleaned the restaurant.

After taking a nap, Mrs. Wang came to Gui Fang's room, and she saw Gui Fang's sullen appearance and persuaded her: "Gui Fang, you have a relaxed heart, you can't be angry with an uneducated person like them, what you did just now was a bit excessive, if you have something to say, you are not allowed to use your hands and feet in the future!" ”

Gui Fang said angrily: "Mom, do you see that second aunt can speak human words?" Even though he is a crow, he still says that others are black! ”

"No matter what, Gui Fang, I can't let your father know about this today, lest he feel that we are bullying his Wang family."

"Mom, you can't see it, and my dad can't look down on them."

"Okay, your dad is very busy all day long, he has been compiling some historical materials of the Beiyang period recently, and he has to write at night when he can't finish writing at work, so don't distract him from family affairs. Let's stay up for a few more days, and when we send them away, we can live a peaceful life. ”

"Mom, I see."

At dinner, the family sat together again, and Zheng Meiqin was the only one missing, Wang Yunqing felt strange and asked his younger brother: "Yunlong, why didn't Meiqin come to dinner?" ”

"This, she and she are with today at noon," Wang Yunlong said as he looked at his sister-in-law.

Before Wang Yunlong finished speaking, Mrs. Wang took over the conversation and said, "Meiqin told me at noon today, she is not suitable today, so she won't come to dinner." ”

Wang Yunlong's eldest son pointed at Gui Fang and said, "Uncle, when I was having lunch today, my sister-in-law beat my mother, and my mother said that she would never eat the Wang family's food from now on!" ”

"What's going on? What nonsense are you little kids! Mrs. Wang reprimanded sharply.

"Gui Fang, is that really the case?" Wang Yunqing's face was a little unsightly.

Gui Fang explained to Wang Yunqing: "Dad, I went out to see a doctor this morning, as soon as I came back to see my mother cooking for their family, I was so tired that I choked, these two aunts didn't even help, she was so lazy to do it, I really can't get used to it, their family only knows how to eat ready-made, I came up this time, if you want to complain, blame me!" ”

Wang Yunqing didn't blame Gui Fang after hearing this, he said to Wang Yunlong: "Your wife is just not sensible, go and call Meiqin over for dinner, I have to talk about her after eating." ”

When Wang Yunlong saw his brother speak, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out, when he walked into his room, Zheng Meiqin was alone in the house, drinking white wine and nibbling on roast chicken, and there was a plate of pig's head meat on the table. Wang Yunlong angrily snatched the wine bottle and said, "You don't go to eat, you hide in the house alone to drink wine and eat meat, when did you buy these foods, why don't I know?" This makes people see that they don't know what to say about you! You put these away and eat them together when I come back. You go to dinner with me first. ”

"Afraid that people will say that we have money? Got it! ”

"People have already said that you are lazy, you don't want to be careful!"

"What can they say? That's all I am! No one cares! ”

"If you don't eat if your eldest brother has food, you have nothing to do to waste my money to play! You just bought a pair of gold earrings a few days ago, and today you drink wine and eat meat again, how much money have you wasted from selling our house? You said! Wang Yunlong snatched the roast chicken from his wife's hand again.

Zheng Meiqin shouted: "Old immortal! You give it to me! I'll still eat it! She stretched out her hand to snatch the roast chicken back, but Wang Yunlong didn't give it, and the two of you grabbed me and touched the liquor on the table to the ground, and the wine bottle was broken, making the room full of choking wine. Wang Yunlong was so angry with his wife that he couldn't help but slap Zheng Meiqin in the face. Zheng Meiqin, who was on top of the alcohol, threw herself on Wang Yunlong's body like crazy and scratched it with her hands, and Wang Yunlong's face suddenly showed several bloody paths. Wang Yunlong scolded in pain and slapped Zheng Meiqin again, and then the two of them shouted and scolded and fought together.

The people who were eating in the restaurant heard the noise of Wang Yunlong and his wife, Mrs. Wang got up and was about to go out, Wang Yunqing held her down and said, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, can you manage it?" Let the two of them make trouble! ”

Wang Hongxing, who rarely speaks at home, also said: "Mom, my dad is right! The more you persuade them to fight, the harder they fight, let them both fight! See how long they can hit. ”

Mrs. Wang pointed to Wang Yunlong's three children and said, "Don't be stunned, leave them alone, hurry up and eat." ”

In the house of Wang Yunlong and his wife, Zheng Meiqin cried and screamed for almost half a night before it quieted down. Mrs. Wang was afraid of arguing her to go to the back garden to sleep with Wang Yunqing, and Guifang and Shuzhen didn't sleep well all night.

The next night, Wang Yunqing hurriedly found Wang Yunlong and his wife after getting off work and said: "As a big brother, I have done my best to you, you will start to eat by yourself from tomorrow, and if you mess around, please leave here and find a place to live by yourself." ”

Wang Yunlong said with a sad face: "Big brother, you let us cook by ourselves, but how much does our family have to spend!" I don't have the ability! ”

"Hurry up and find a job, or you'll be rich! As the saying goes, you can't expect me to feed you for the rest of your life! Let's be honest, you are here to this point by yourself! ”

"Big brother, you know a lot of people and have a wide range of friends, and I'm also a sixty-year-old person, you can help me find a job that makes more money and saves worry and effort."

"It's not that I don't help you find a job, I know your temperament, and I don't want to complain in front of my friends in the future."

"Then what can I do, an old man with no skills and no physical strength? If you don't help me, I won't be able to find a good job, so I'll have to stay at home. ”

Wang Yunqing looked at his younger brother's pitiful appearance and had to say: "Poor people must have something to be angry about!" Well, I'll help you one last time, and when you get a job, you'll have to move out of my house! The sooner the better! ”

Wang Yunlong listened to his brother tell him about moving out, he hurriedly said that the house was not easy to find, Wang Yunqing waved his hand and didn't let him say more.

"I don't care about finding a house, you have a job and you have to move out! That's it. Wang Yunqing said undoubtedly.

The first thing Wang Yunqing asked when he came back from work the next day was whether his brother's family had cooked alone, and Mrs. Wang said angrily: "At noon, their family came to eat again, and Meiqin came over to help me cook when I made lunch, so I asked her: Didn't you start a group by yourself?" Mei Qin said that she didn't have money to buy stoves and briquettes, and she wanted to eat a few more days at our place. I can't stop them from eating! ”

Wang Yunqing said: "I know, they are asking me for money." These two people have simply fallen into the eyes of money! ”

At dinner, Wang Yunlong and his wife sat at the dining table and bowed their heads to eat, not daring to face the eldest brother Wang Yunqing. After everyone finished eating, Wang Yunqing took out some money from his pocket and handed it to his younger brother and said, "Take it, I really gave you the money to sell stoves and briquettes, and the rest of the money was used to buy clothes for the children, and I won't give you a penny in the future!" I know that if I don't push you, you won't be able to support yourself. ”

Wang Yunlong took the money with a smile and couldn't stop thanking his eldest brother.

Although Wang Hongxing never expressed any opinion on his second uncle and aunt, and respected them on the surface, in fact, he also looked down on that family, and when he was upset, he also talked to Lao Zhao about his second uncle.

The business of Lihua Printing Factory is getting better and better, and Lao Zhao knows that thanks to Wang Yunqing's great help, it is possible to Lihua Printing Factory today, so Lao Zhao is grateful to Wang Yunqing, and when he knows that Wang Yunlong has no suitable job, he wants to return the favor of the Wang family. Lao Zhao found Wang Yunqing and said: "In-laws, there is a vacancy in my factory, do you think it will be possible to let Hongxing and his second uncle come to me?" Actually, there is no specific work, just look at the door and send and receive something. Don't be tired, the salary can be given high. ”

Wang Yunqing reminded: "Lao Zhao, you have to think about it." My brother is not a serious 800 person. ”

"That's okay! Even if my factory feeds him for nothing! ”

"Lao Zhao, then why bother! I'm afraid he'll get you in trouble when he comes to the factory. ”

Lao Zhao smiled and said: "In-laws, I heard that Hongxing and Gui Fang have said that the second uncle's family has caused you a lot of chaos, and I will also help you solve the problem." ”

Wang Yunqing knew that Lao Zhao really wanted to help him, so he agreed, he said: "Then it's decided, I'll let him go to work with you tomorrow!" To tell the truth, we are a family, I can rest assured that Yunlong is in your factory, if he is arranged to work at my friend's place, I am afraid that he will lose my face Wang Yunqing if he doesn't do it well. ”

In this way, under the strong opposition of Wang Hongxing, Gui Fang, and Shuzhen, Lao Zhao arranged for Wang Yunlong to work at the Lihua Printing Factory, and Lao Zhao also vacated two houses in the west courtyard where the factory was built for Wang Yunlong's family to live temporarily.

After Wang Yunlong's family left, the Wang family compound returned to its previous calm.
