The next morning, before dawn, my eldest brother and I hurried back. Along the way, he and I were in a nervous mood, for fear that something would happen, and the eldest brother said very little, and his eyebrows were twisted together while sitting in the carriage.

I know that he is actually more worried about the impact of their troubles on him and his sister-in-law's small family.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the grocery store at the head of the village, I saw Liu Ye and a few women chatting, holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands, leaning over there and smiling, she was wearing the same tattered cotton jacket as the second brother before, she was fatter than the last time we met, her eyes were several times smaller, and her hair was scattered indiscriminately, she completely gave up on herself.

As my eldest brother and I walked forward, I heard her speaking in a sharp voice: "Women always have to get married, my sister-in-law is the same, she is not in a hurry to get married, and every day I search for so much money, I have to die of sorrow for her, she is still beautiful!" ”

Several women around are all like to chew their tongues in the village, and they echoed the willow leaves and said a few words.

I said in my heart, eighty percent of the second brother hasn't said it yet, otherwise she must not have the heart to care about my business, and she would have been fighting with my second brother a long time ago.

Liu Ye continued to smile and said: "My sister-in-law was divorced and wanted to marry in the city, but she was dumped several times, and her reputation is completely over!" I think in two years, I will only be able to marry an old widower in my forties and fifties. What's the use of going to school, you say! There was a smug tone in his tone.

The eldest brother looked at me: "I'll go and shut her up." ”

I sneered: "Forget it, I'm not her sister-in-law soon, just let her say enough." ”

The proprietress came out to sweep the floor at this time, and said with a smile: "Your family is different, she went to secondary school, and she will be a teacher in the future!" ”

The second sister-in-law glanced at her and spit out the melon seed shell on the ground: "What you said is useless!" No man can do it? Look at me, I didn't go to school, but what I want to eat and drink, my family Zhijun never says a word, that's how to live, she just doesn't have anything to do, she can't do it at all! ”

The proprietress smiled: "I heard that your fish pond business is very good, but now your family is really different!" ”

"It's nothing, I have a fish pond at home, the fish can be eaten casually, if you want to eat chicken, just bring two fish and exchange one for one."

Everyone was envious: "When can our family be content with you!" ”

Liu Ye lowered his head, straightened his pants, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that it's good, it's okay, the main thing is that we live a serious life, and it's different from those who can't marry and are high-profile." ”

A few tongue-chewing women were echoing her, and suddenly when they saw me and my eldest brother coming, their faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly changed the topic: "It's really cold this day!" Is a fish pond possible? ”

Liu Yezheng said in Xingtou, where to pay attention: "You just give me a listen, if there is that kind of bachelor who can't marry a daughter-in-law, tell me about it, if you can let her marry out, it can be regarded as a big end for our Wang family!" ”

I said behind her, "Second sister-in-law, what do you say about me?" Didn't I say a long time ago that you don't have to worry about my business? ”

"Oh my god!" Liu Ye was so frightened that he threw all the melon seeds in his hand on the ground: "Qiao'er! You're trying to scare me to death! ”

"I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door, what does it matter to you if I can't get married?"

Liu Ye coughed a few times and said: "I also care about you, you don't want to be good or bad!" ”

"Looking for an old man in his fifties and sixties is also to care about Qiao'er? Who are you buried? The eldest brother said coldly.

"Big brother... I'm not..."

"Liu Ye, didn't I say you, every day you have this spiritual head and people, can't you manage yourself well? How fat are you now? The second brother's clothes look small on you. After the eldest brother finished speaking, he strode forward.

Liu Ye's face instantly became the bottom of the pot, she used to be quite confident in her appearance, but now when he said this, she suddenly couldn't accept it.

I knew that my eldest brother was helping me get angry, so I took a few quick steps and grabbed my eldest brother's sleeve: "Big brother, you really have you." ”

"Hmph, she buries my sister like this, I have to give her an eye medicine."

Liu Ye walked behind us, and Qi didn't speak all the way.

The second brother's house has been rented out by the person who bought the house, the yard is very neatly cleaned up, full of chopped firewood, and the middle of the two families was just a low wall, but now it is built high by the other party, and it is completely independent.

In contrast, our house was in a lot of chaos, the cane was also crooked, and my mother was chopping firewood in the yard, and when she saw us coming back, she hurriedly got up and greeted us.

"Zhiguo, why are you back on such a cold day?" She is very enthusiastic about her eldest brother now, and she ignores me. I didn't talk to her at all.

"Where's Zhijun?" The eldest brother asked.

"I don't know, I went out in the morning, eighty percent of it was to get a fish pond, isn't it frozen, I'm going to dig an ice hole in a few days, and I'll send it to the hotel on New Year's Day." After Mom finished speaking, her eyes glared at Liu Ye: "What did you do?" ”

Liu Ye didn't look at her squarely: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Wandering? This morning, I don't pick up water, I don't cook food, and I don't care about the children, what are you wandering around? ”

Liu Ye didn't speak, pushed the door and went in.

Mom grabbed the eldest brother and said, "Did you see it?" This girl is going to be angry with me, since she made money from fish farming, she has become a meritorious man, and if she doesn't do anything, she knows that she is angry with me! ”

"Go in, I'll chop wood. Qiao'er, you can get some food. The eldest brother snatched the axe from his mother's hand, and his mother didn't enter the house, chattering and complaining to him.

I went in to cook on the fire, and saw that the stove was full of greasy, and a stack of dirty bowls were thrown on the table, and the greasy ones were soaked in cold water. I frowned, now my mother and Liu Ye are really good.

I brushed the bowl, steamed a large pot of tortillas, and when I saw a piece of meat frozen outside, I brought it in and prepared to stew a cabbage stew with radish. The two little nieces were chattering and laughing on the kang in the house.

Willow stood in the doorway looking at me, still holding a handful of pumpkin seeds in her hand. While eating, he said: "Now that everyone lives together, all we eat is the food that your second brother bought." Don't be poor and generous with my stuff here, save some money. ”

"Don't worry, my eldest brother and I came here after dinner, and if it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't do it." After I finished speaking, I chopped the kitchen knife the piece of meat.

The second sister-in-law rolled her eyes at me: "I didn't say anything, why are you so angry?" You can be a teacher with such a temper? ”

I ignored her and waited until my meal was done. I heard the second brother's voice in the courtyard: "I'll hold on to you, slide carefully." ”

"Well, I'm fine, don't get your pants dirty." A gentle female voice rang out.

The second brother walked in with a bag of meat in one hand and Li Lanxiang in the other, wearing a goose-yellow cotton jacket, with a small face, delicate and snow-white skin, and hair tied into a ponytail, which was really beautiful. There was also a woman in her fifties behind her, who was Li Lanxiang's mother, Wang Tao.

Mom pointed at them, her mouth open, and she was speechless in shock.

Immediately after that, I heard a scream from my second sister-in-law behind me, and she slammed into me and rushed out quickly.

I walked to the door and saw Liu Ye grabbing the second brother's sleeve with his hand: "What are you doing, what's the matter with this?" ”

"Be careful when you speak! This is my daughter-in-law, what are you scolding her for? The second brother said coldly.

Liu Ye almost fainted when she heard this, crying and shouting: "What are you talking about Wang Zhijun, she is your daughter-in-law, who am I to you?" What are you doing here? ”

The second brother sneered: "Who knows who you are to me, can you care what I want to do?" Don't forget, we're already divorced. ”

Liu Ye was dumbfounded, she rushed to Li Lanxiang several times to grab her hair, but she was stopped by the second brother, and the last time, he used too much force and pushed her directly to the ground.

Liu Ye simply sat on the ground and cried: "Everyone come and see!" This is the ungrateful Chen Shimei, the turtle grandson crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and after using me, he dumped me! ”

It's morning meal time, and every family hears the sound and comes out.

The second brother smiled: "You make trouble, anyway, I have no face for a long time, and everyone knows who you are, if you have the ability, you are now in the pit of Wang Lao Wu once." ”
