Chapter 25: Embarrassment
The two of us cooked two large bowls of noodles and another boiled a poached egg and ate it in large gulps.
I said to my mother, "Now we have dozens of dollars in our hands!" Save it well, and when we get two hundred yuan, we'll leave the village, and I have a job anyway, so I don't have to live here. ”
"Okay." Mom smiled: "Anyway, it's just the two of us, and there is no land, so it's easy to walk." ”
Uncle was greedy and robbed of our family's things, now that I think about it, it's also a good thing, and my mother is reluctant to leave here.
Mom said again, "Nizi, I'll buy you a watch!" The grandfather clock at home is too old. It's still old and easy to break, and I see that everyone in the city carries watches. ”
"No, I don't need that kind of thing." I smiled and said, "The most important thing now is to save money, let's go to live in the city." ”
The next day, we were cleaning up at home.
He Xiang suddenly pushed the door and walked in, and the door slammed, startling us. She didn't say hello to my mom either, and walked in with her neck bent, swaggering as usual.
Compared with the last engagement day, she has lost some weight, and she is also haggard, I don't know if it is not because of Du Sanzhuang.
Mom was just about to say hello to her, but I grabbed her: "You are an elder, she is a junior, if she doesn't greet you, you don't have to pay attention to her!" When I finished speaking, I walked past her with a bowl and ignored her, and put it in the cupboard outside.
If she doesn't say what she's going to do, we don't care about her.
He Xiang gritted her teeth and looked at me, and her tone was arrogant: "Nizi, it's going to be the New Year, why don't you go to work at our house?" It's this time every year, right? Powder the walls, and dismantle and wash the bedding! When are you coming? ”
I glanced at He Xiang: "Why do we have to go to your house to work?" ”
He Xiang's mouth opened: "You are not the He family?" ”
I swept the floor with a broom, and suddenly sneered, "Then why don't you go to work in our house?" ”
"My dad is the eldest in the family! You are relatives of our family, of course you have to go to work for the boss! ”
"It's quite interesting to say this, I usually don't pay attention to it, but when it's time to work, I immediately remember that there are relatives like us. We're busy at home, so you don't get in the way here! As I spoke, I grabbed the broom and swept it hard at the upper of her shoe. She was wearing black cotton leather shoes, and she was so frightened that she quickly hid to the side.
"Dead girl, where are your eyes?"
I threw the broom to the ground and glared at her viciously: "You try to scold the dead girl again?" ”
"She's your cousin!" Mom grabbed me and smiled at He Xiang again: "Nizi went into the city to sell things today, I'm a little too tired, plus how much I have stepped out, my temper is too big, don't take it to heart." ”
He Xiang was obviously frightened, took a few steps back, paused, and then said to my mother: "Second aunt, my dad said that the family has to steam steamed buns and sweep the house, and it is too busy to work too much, if you have time, come over!" After all, they are all a family, and even if there is a conflict, it will not hurt the feelings. Auntie, don't mind, come over quickly. She spoke softly like never before.
If it was a previous life, my mother would have been flattered when she heard it, and hurried over.
But my mother just slapped the ashes on her body, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, your cousin has not been in good health since the last time she was transferred into the ice cave, and our family has not done a lot of things." Besides, we don't usually interact with each other. When it's time to work, let us go, and it won't do you any good if someone else sees someone who will gossip. ”
"What you said is a family, who can say anything, the second aunt still cares about this? How many years have you been doing, and you haven't said anything! He Xiang was a little bored.
Mom said indifferently: "It's because I've been working for many years, so I also think I've done enough." I won't do it in the future. Even if I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but my girl is also older, and I'm going to find a partner, who wants to find a daughter from a soft family? When they are separated, they live their own lives. ”
I looked at He Xiang coldly: "Did you hear my mother's words?" We are not your domestic servants, and we don't owe you anything. Forget about the free labor you usually do, I never expected you to be grateful. We will never go again. Am I married, and I have to continue to work for your family? ”
He Xiang gritted his teeth and looked at me: "Even like you, you want to find a good partner?" In this life, except for Liu Zhijian, you don't want to find a good one at all! Even Liu Zhijian doesn't want to deal with you, and he will only beat you every day when he marries! ”
They knew Liu Zhijian's personality in their previous lives, but they still coldly asked me to marry, and I guess I watched jokes every day.
I was angry in my heart, but I pursed my lips and smiled: "Thank you cousin for your concern, what kind of person I am looking for is better than the one you are looking for." At least you don't have to be a stepmother as soon as you get married. Oh, maybe you can't even get married, right? Didn't people say that if they didn't marry her, they would sue Du Sanzhuang? So you probably won't be able to get married. The tone was full of schadenfreude.
"You...... You ......"
"What's wrong with me? Think if you don't say it, I won't know about you? Aren't you awesome? Why did you choose such a husband, who is inferior, and doesn't force us to work in front of us, when he is so powerful, he will become a little sheep in front of others. ”
He Xiang looked shocked, and a look of shame appeared on his face. I would have laughed at someone as high as her, and I guess I never dreamed that there would be such a day.
"Cheap girl, you dare to talk nonsense!" She rushed over and tried to hit me.
I was not afraid at all, and went up and grabbed her wrist: "What nonsense? The whole village knows about you, and you still want to hide it? ”
Mom hurriedly came over and pulled us: "What are you doing!" The two sisters started fighting while talking! ”
He Xiang is not my opponent at all, I suddenly pushed it on the kang, she reached out to grab my face, I grabbed her neck hard, my mother pulled the frame on the side, grabbed her wrist, Hexiang screamed.
"Let go of me!"
"If you don't let go, you don't have the ability to keep Du Sanzhuang, so you ran to our house to be angry? What are you! I shouted.
We were making a fuss, Sister-in-law Osmanthus came over quickly, and I quickly let go of He Xiang.
"He Xiang, something happened to your family! Let's go back and check it out! ”
"What's wrong with my house?" He Xiang sat up from the kang panting.
"Du Sanzhuang is here, and then I don't know why I quarreled, hurry up and go back and take a look, the noisy chickens and dogs are jumping!" Osmanthus turned red with excitement, and ran forward quickly, as if something had happened to her family.
He Xiang heard that Du Sanzhuang was coming, so he was in the mood to care about us, so he walked straight ahead.
After walking a few steps, she saw me walking behind her, my eyes widening.
"What are you doing with me? Want to see the excitement? Hurry back and don't follow endlessly! She shouted.
"Huh." I smiled and said, "I'm going to tell your dad in person, I won't go over to help during the Chinese New Year." ”
"Don't talk nonsense here, you're here to joke!"
"Since it's my parent, of course I have to tell it in person." I said with a smile. It's a rare opportunity to see the excitement, and I want to cherish it.
"Don't go!" He Xiang shouted angrily, his voice was hoarse, and then he turned around and ran quickly.
Mom grabbed me and said, "Forget it, don't you go." ”
"I must go, Mom, don't worry."
In my previous life, I had such a miserable life because of them, when did I see them unlucky? I really want to see He Fa and Zhou Yufeng's faces now, just as a joke.
Mom just smiled helplessly when she saw me like this: "Just take a look from afar, I'm not going, you can come back quickly." ”
"Okay, no problem." I walked over with a smile.
Walking on the road, I suddenly laughed, Osmanthus sister-in-law is really well-informed, He Xiang ran to my house, she knows. In the future, I will have a good relationship with her, so that if there is something to do, she can help me.
I walked unhurriedly to the door of He Fa's courtyard, and I already saw many villagers gathered there, all of them stretching their necks to look inside, and there were people holding their own fried pumpkin seeds while eating and watching the excitement.
Sister-in-law Osmanthus took the lead, and her head was about to stick her head into someone's yard.
From time to time, there were shouts coming from inside, and the battle was fierce, and from time to time there were the sounds and cries of smashing things.
At this time, the big iron gate was knocked open, Du Sanzhuang suddenly rushed out of the courtyard, and some pastry boxes smashed on top of his head.
Osmanthus sister-in-law sighed: "What's going on?" ”
At this time, he was already blue and swollen, very embarrassed, and the clothes on his body were all dirt, and He Fa behind him rushed out of the room with a rolling pin, constantly chasing Du Sanzhuang.
"Damn it, my hard-working baby girl is in a hurry to make you miserable? You said that if you want to get engaged, you will get engaged, and if you want to get married, you will get married, you want to die, don't you? Do you dare to lick your face today? You've made other girls' bellies bigger, why do you want to harm my girl? Isn't this deliberately tricking people? ”
"Uncle, I don't want to get out of the marriage, but I can't do it now! I like Xiang'er too, but that woman just won't let me go, and you can't let me go into the bureau! I can only retreat, please forgive me and let me live! Du Sanzhuang pleaded bitterly.
I said in my heart, it seems that Du Sanzhuang's mother didn't get that Li Wanyun?
Wrong! When my mother and I met their mother and son, they meant that they would never marry Li Wanyun, which means that they wanted the He family to come out and get rid of her?
At this time, a sharp scream came out, and He Xiang, who had just entered the house, rushed out.
