Chapter 18: Widow Zhang's Provocation
In the following days, I was more cautious than before, and told Shen Bi not to follow anyone to remote places, so that my mother could rest at ease for two days.
It wasn't until Saturday and Sunday that I took Shen Bi and accompanied my mother out of the stall to continue selling our ice porridge.
As a result, it was only sold in the middle of the morning, and I saw Widow Zhang with a wounded face, Zhang Qiongyu, and my father, appearing in front of our ice porridge stall.
I stared at the family of three with some vigilance, and before I could speak, Widow Zhang started talking to my mother with a smile, "Sister Liu, your business is not bad." ”
My mom nodded, "Ah, it's okay." ”
"Sister Liu's words are modest, look at this endless stream of people, seeing that the sky is about to enter June and July, when the hottest time comes, your ice porridge will not be sold." Widow Zhang continued to laugh with all kinds of amorous feelings.
It's as if the previous filths have never appeared.
My mom was so stunned that she couldn't even speak.
I frowned, and just as I wanted to speak out to relieve my mother's embarrassment, Shen Bi's little temper exploded, "Selling hair or not selling hair has nothing to do with you, we don't welcome you here." ”
"Xiaobi! Why are you so impolite! My father's smiling face immediately darkened, "You bullied Qiongyu so much, don't come to apologize, forget it, now your Aunt Zhang took the initiative to come to you, but your attitude is really rude!" ”
"Weasel gives New Year's greetings to chickens, so it's not uncommon for us to find her." Shen Bi stubbornly replied.
My dad raised his hand angrily and was about to knock it down.
I hurriedly stopped in front of Shen Bi and changed the topic with a smile, "Dad, what is the matter with you coming to us." ”
My mother grabbed Shen Bi's hand and didn't allow her to speak again.
My dad's face softened, and his hand slowly fell.
Seeing this, Widow Zhang, who was watching coldly, came over, patted my dad on the shoulder, and said angrily, "Guozheng, why are you so fierce to the child, you forgot what we are here for today." ”
My dad smiled softly at her and said, "I know, I know." ”
Widow Zhang gave him a look, and then gently tugged at Zhang Qiongyu's sleeve.
Zhang Qiongyu, who had been keeping her head down since she came, finally raised her head, first sweetly, with a bit of flattery and flattery, and then apologized to Shen Bi solemnly.
"Sister Xiaobi, it's Qiongyu's fault, Qiongyu was also threatened by Cousin Ma Hao at that time, they said, they said that if I didn't help call Sister Xiaobi out, they would beat me, so I had no choice but to ...... It's all Qiongyu's fault, Qiongyu should have been beaten by Sister Xiaojiang, and now Qiongyu just wants to apologize to Sister Xiaobi, and hopes that Sister Xiaobi won't be estranged from her father because of this incident. ”
What I said made me frown.
When Zhang Qiongyu saw my expression, she cried sadly, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaojiang, I'm really sorry, if you are unhappy, you can beat Qiongyu again, but you must not be estranged from your father because of this matter, then Qiongyu will be guilty." ”
My dad looked at her tears and hugged her distressedly, "Silly child, don't cry, it's enough for Dad to have a daughter for you." ”
Shen Bi and I were on the side, and when I heard this, I inexplicably felt like I had eaten rotten pork liver.
It's kind of disgusting.
Zhang Qiongyu's crying became louder and louder.
My dad comforted her softly on the side, and Widow Zhang also wiped the corners of her eyes, and then walked to my mother's side, and said with a sigh, "Sister Liu, I know you don't like me, after all, I robbed Guozheng, but the child is innocent, Qiongyu is younger than Xiaobi, she has no bad intentions." ”
My mom opened her mouth and looked overwhelmed.
Widow Zhang took the opportunity to bend over, leaned into my mother's ear, and whispered, "Speaking of which, your daughter is also a good one, knowing that she feels sorry for her mother, she will help you work, and she will help you...... Divorce. ”
When my mother heard those two words, her body was shocked.
Widow Zhang took the opportunity to say again, "You know, how did the wound on your daughter's face come from?" Why was she beaten by Qiongyu, do you know? Because it was discussed between her and me, just to force you to divorce Guozheng, you said that your daughter is not intimate. ”
My mom opened her mouth wide with a look of disbelief.
"Sister Liu, don't believe it, look at it, your little daughter was only beaten twice, and your eldest daughter beat my Qiongyu to death. But her face was scratched at the beginning, and she took revenge? Why didn't she mention revenge? It's not because this is what she designed with me a long time ago, just to help her stupid mother divorce. Widow Zhang covered her mouth and laughed.
My mother's face was pale, her eyes stared at Widow Zhang, and after a while, she barely managed to squeeze out a few words, "You, you go...... I don't believe it...... I don't believe it. ”
"Believe it or not?" Seeing that what she had to say had been finished, Widow Zhang straightened up and slowly paced back to Zhang Qiongyu's side.
At this time, my father also coaxed Zhang Qiongyu almost, wiped away her tears, and promised to buy her a new dress.
Shen Bi stood next to me, although she didn't speak, but her eyes were faintly shining with envy.
It was only at this time that I realized that although we have been eating and drinking well and making money these days, I have never bought Shen Bi beautiful clothes.
We were still wearing the clothes of the year before last year, and because of our tall size, our clothes were even a little shorter.
"Bi-chan." I turned around and shook my sister's hand, "Sister Ming, too, will buy you clothes." ”
"Hey, okay, sister." Shen Bi grinned, and a crystal color flashed under her eyes.
I sighed, turned my head, and looked at the harmonious family of three in front of the ice porridge stall, disgust flashed in my eyes, but I tried to calm my tone, "The apology is over, the crying is over, can you go?" We're going to keep doing business. ”
"Sister......" Zhang Qiongyu looked at me with some grievances on her face, "It's Qiongyu who bothered you, I'm sorry." ”
"Good boy, don't always apologize all the time, you're not wrong." My dad took Zhang Qiongyu's hand, turned his head, and looked at me and Shen Bi with some disgust, "Qiongyu, this kid kindly came to apologize to you, but I didn't expect you to be so funny, it seems that you have really been taught bad by Liu Huimei during this time." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhang Qiongyu with one hand and Zhang Min with the other, and left here in stride.
Shen Bi was in a hurry, and as soon as she heard this, she stomped her feet and was about to quarrel with him, but I forcibly held down her hand.
"Forget it, he now thinks that Zhang Qiongyu is a good boy, we are not good, and it is useless to say more." I smiled and turned to look at my mom, only to notice her abnormality.
"Mom, Mom." I called her softly.
My mother raised her head, looked at me in a trance, didn't speak, and lowered her head again.
My heart lifted, and I continued to call her twice, very uneasily.
But this time, my mom didn't even lift her head.
At this time, another person who bought ice porridge came, so I went to greet the guests.
When it was time to close the stall at noon, my mother still didn't want to speak, so she returned home with her head down, sitting motionless on the bed, as if she had lost her soul.
I didn't know what was going on, so I barely fried two dishes, and she didn't come to eat when I called her to eat, so I had to eat two bites with Shen Bijiang.
Because the sun was so poisonous at noon, I thought my mother was suffering from heat stroke, so I wanted her to rest and rest, and by the way, I took Shen Bi to buy some clothes.
Shen Bi was very happy, my mother looked a little more energetic than just now, so I took some more money, went to the nearby wholesale market, bought two clothes for Shen Bi, bought one dress for myself, and bought one dress for my mother.
spent a total of more than 100 yuan, which made Shen Bi feel very distressed.
But when we touched the new clothes, we were all happy.
When I got home, I handed my mom the clothes I had bought, waiting for her compliments, or complaining sweetly about my indiscriminate spending.
However, my mother's response to me was to throw two pieces of clothing directly in my face.
"Mom......" I picked up the clothes on the ground a little dazed, "Mom, what's going on?" Did I do something wrong that made you angry? ”
My mom looked at me with strange eyes, and after a while, she hissed and asked me, "Why did your grandma come over suddenly when I divorced your dad?" Did you inform you? ”
My heart thumped, and after a moment of silence, I nodded.
My mother's eyes cooled, and her voice became more and more hoarse, "Did you know about the fight that your grandmother saw in advance?" ”
My heart sank, but I nodded.
"Okay, good Shen Jiang." My mother's tears fell, "My Liu Huimei is useless all my life, I was bullied by my husband, bullied by Xiaosan, bullied by my mother-in-law, and in the end, even my daughter-in-law bullied me, what's the use of my life, my daughter-in-law bullied me, what's the use of my life!" ”
At this moment, I had already concluded that it was Widow Zhang who said something to my mother.
Looking at my mother's tears, I was distressed and angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain to her, "Mom, this is Zhang Min who found me, think about it, if I don't agree, what if she really finds someone to beat me and my sister?" I'm pretending to be perfunctory to her, otherwise I wouldn't have really started that Qiongyu. My grandfather and grandmother are called by me, I just let them see Zhang Min's face clearly. ”
"However, the ultimate goal is to divorce me, right, you all want me to divorce, you all want me to divorce." My mom seemed to be in the horns of a cow, crying and shouting, and the loud neighbors opened the windows to look at us.
I stared at her blankly, both heartbroken and helpless.
I don't know how to explain it.
"You're all bullying me...... You all bullied me. My mom covered her face and cried.
Shen Bi, who had been standing silently behind me, suddenly grabbed me and shouted loudly at my mother, "Isn't it good to get divorced?" Why not get divorced? Do you want to live with my dad for the rest of your life? Or do you want to be bullied by that junior for the rest of your life? Moreover, have you thought about it, why didn't she say it sooner or later, she had to mention it at this time, Mom, she was avenging her daughter, provoking our mother, don't fall into the trap! ”
