Tianhui said: "Yes, I remember the last time we had dinner together, Li Sen was also there, I was still envious of him and Baolan had such a good relationship, but I didn't expect that now they have gone their separate ways." Duoshu sighed and said, "Yes, although Baolan has never mentioned Li Sen usually, I know that she must be very uncomfortable in her heart, and she has kept everything in her heart since she was a child." Tianhui said: "Let's try not to mention Li Sen, I hope time can dilute everything, remember to tell Shanlin to let him not mention Li Sen or wood, you also know that Shanlin sometimes has no door." Duoshu smiled and said: This is too difficult, right, and the wood can't be mentioned? It's not such an exaggeration, don't worry, Baolan is fine. ”

Duoshu went back to the store and told Baolan to go to Tianhui's place for dinner in the evening, Baolan said: "I haven't eaten Sister-in-law Zhang's food for a long time, Xiaoying, do you want to go to Sister Tianhui's place to eat together?" Wang Ying ran over and said, "Okay, I also wanted to meet the Sister Tianhui you often talked about, and you always said that the food cooked by Sister-in-law Zhang is delicious and I want to taste it, can I go together?" Brother Duoshu. Duoshu smiled and said, "It's really indispensable to you there, I'll let Shanlin take Yifeng over with me." ”

Wang Ying went to be busy with other things, and Baolan quietly asked Duoshu: "Brother, do you want to pull Wang Ying and Yifeng together?" Duoshu said while drinking tea: "You see it? Don't you think they're a good match? One didn't speak, the other kept talking, didn't Master Gu also say that he liked Wang Ying as his daughter-in-law? Baolan said: "But brother, Xiaoying told me that she likes you very much, and said that she wants to be my sister-in-law." Duoshu was so shocked by Baolan's words that he even squirted out tea, he wiped his mouth and said, "I beg you, sister, I've been frightened several times today, and my heart really can't stand it." Baolan said seriously: "What I said is true, Xiaoying told me a few days ago, brother, anyway, you should marry a wife at such an old age, you can't live your own life, Xiaoying is a big person and easy to get along with, or you should think about it." Many of the books shook like rattles. Duoshu said: "Thank you for your kindness, if Wang Ying talks to you about me in the future, you can tell her that I have a sweetheart, and ask her not to waste time on me." ”

Baolan looked at Duoshu with such a serious appearance and asked Duoshu: "Brother, do you really have a sweetheart?" Who is it? Don't tell me that the person you like is Sister Tianhui! Many books asked, "How do you know that I like Tianhui?" I never told anyone. Baolan pursed her lips and said: "How could I not know, you see Sister Tianhui's eyes are different, but brother, Sister Tianhui is still our second sister-in-law in name, although the second brother doesn't know where to go now, but they are still husband and wife after all." Duoshu sighed and said: "I know, so I don't dare to cross the line by half a step, but I have always hidden this feeling in my heart, as long as I can silently watch her and protect her, it is enough." ”

Baolan said to Duoshu: "Brother, why is the relationship between our brother and sister so unsmooth, one is a cape of the world, it is estimated that we will never meet again in our lifetime, and one is close at hand, but we have to keep our distance for the rest of our lives." Duoshu asked Baolan: "Are you still thinking about Li Sen?" He's been gone for months? I guess I won't come back in the future, so I advise you to forget about him. Bao Lan said with tears in her eyes: "I understand what you say, but some people can't forget if they don't want to, it's okay during the day, but at night I still think about him, I don't know if it's okay for him to go back there?" I don't know if he has a wife now? I always think of his funny look like a piece of wood. Duoshu patted Baolan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad Baolan, I hope time can dilute everything, if not, then our brother and sister will depend on each other for the rest of our lives." ”

Baolan was very moved by the words of many books, she wiped her tears and said: "Brother, don't worry, good people have good rewards, maybe after a while, the second brother will write a letter of resignation to Sister Tianhui, and then you will be able to be together openly, I heard my mother say that my father said before he died and said to the eldest mother that if the second brother comes back, let him write a letter of resignation to Sister Tianhui." Duoshu asked puzzledly: "Why did Dad say these words?" Bao Lan shook her head.

In the evening, a large number of people came to Tianhui to eat, Sister-in-law Zhang was busy all afternoon and made a large table of good dishes, Shanlin pulled a peak and piled up Sister-in-law Zhang and said: "I'm sorry Sister-in-law Zhang, today I brought another mouth, this is a peak." Yifeng said embarrassedly: "I disturbed Sister-in-law Zhang." Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "Don't listen to Shanlin's nonsense, come over often in the future, and Sister-in-law Zhang will make you something to eat." Tianhui also moved a chair for Yifeng to sit. Wang Ying stood up and said, "Sister Tianhui, Sister-in-law Zhang, I'm also disturbing." "Before Tianhui came to speak in a hurry, Shanlin said to Duoshu that you also brought more mouths." Ling'er patted Shanlin and said, "You talk so much, so many delicious things can't stop your mouth." Tianhui smiled and said: "Don't eat more, everyone, it's a lot of people, we haven't been so lively here for a long time." ”

At the dinner table, Wang Ying has been serving more books, and many books and many books are constantly calling, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Ying is interested in many books, and many books are also a little embarrassed. Shanlin looked at Wang Ying and said, "Sister Xiaoying, are you interesting to us for many books?" The sandwiches came and went, and the delicious ones all went to his mouth. Wang Ying's face turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Brother Shanlin, with my sister-in-law sitting next to you, you still envy me for picking vegetables for Brother Duoshu?" I just like Brother Duoshu again? Duoshu glanced at Tianhui and said a little unhappily: "Okay, okay, don't joke around, it's rare to come here today, everyone eat more." Everyone started chatting again, but Tianhui had been trying her best to hide her expression, she didn't know what was wrong, she felt so uncomfortable seeing that Wang Ying had been sticking to many books. But she knew that she couldn't show that unhappiness, even if she didn't like her, she had to force a smile, and she couldn't let others see what was on her mind.

At night, Tianhui didn't feel sleepy at all, tossing and turning, Sister-in-law Zhang saw Tianhui like this and asked her: Tianhui, what's wrong with you can't sleep. Are you thinking about more books and that little girl? Tianhui sat up and said to Sister-in-law Zhang: "Mother, am I too greedy, I am all other women, and I still want to be with many books, sometimes I really feel crazy, I look more ordinary than ordinary people, and now I have become an abandoned woman, what qualifications do I have to like others?" Not to mention the many books. Sister-in-law Zhang sighed and said: "It's all to blame for that Qian Duoyu, he can't see anyone dead or a corpse, what does he want to drag you for a lifetime?" The mother can see that Duoshu is also interesting to you, but you can't break through the bottom line of morality, although you have no relationship with Qian Duoyu, but nominally you are Duoshu's second sister-in-law after all. ”

Tianhui lowered her head and said: "I understand what you say, even if I like other girls, I will sincerely bless him, I know that I will never be worthy of him, I am just a person who is delusional, don't worry, mother, I will bury this feeling in my heart, you know, I only dare to tell you one person." Sister-in-law Zhang touched Tianhui's hair and said, "My poor child, my mother knows that you are bitter in your heart, and she can't help you for half a point, and my mother is really uncomfortable in her heart." ”

Tianhui comforted Sister-in-law Zhang and said: "Don't be sad mother, it's enough for me to have you, I'm very happy now, and the mother and daughter hugged each other after speaking."

Wang Shanlian's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she will be born in two or three months, the business in the store is not good, and the money is unreliable, Wang Shanlian has been in a bad mood, and the servants at home are called and drunk every day, and they are scolded more than when they are dissatisfied, everyone is afraid of her, they gave her a nickname behind her back called the Living Yama King, saying that she is more terrible than the previous Qian Duoyu, and Qian Duojin will be scolded by Wang Shanlian almost every day, he knows that she is pregnant with a child and does not dare to argue with her, so he can only endure it in his heart, When he was really upset, he secretly ran out to drink some wine to relieve the irritability in his heart.

One night, Qian Duojin went home drunk again, and when he returned to the house, Wang Shanlian saw him come back drunk again, angry, pointed to his head and scolded: "You useless thing, my belly is so big, you still run out to drink every day, I don't care about the things in the store, I have to go to the store every day to take care of the business with a big belly, no wonder your father was unwilling to take care of your business before, he already knew that you were a loser and unreliable." Wang Shanlian has been scolding over there, Qian Duojin is like he didn't hear it, he has been immune to these scoldings over the years, Qian Duojin's eyes have been staring at Wang Shanlian's maid Yingge, and his eyes are hooked and hooked without blinking.

Yingge is helping Wang Shanlian make the bed, she is also used to such scolding, Wang Shanlian scolded really hard, looked back and saw that Qian Duojin had been staring at Yingge, she was angry, she walked to Yingge and slapped Yingge in the face, scolding you little prodigal hoof, dare to run to my house to seduce people, you get out of here. Yingge was slapped by Wang Shanlian for no reason, she covered her hot face and cried and ran out of the door, but she didn't want to be pulled by Qian Duojin's arm.

Qian Duojin pulled Yingge and pointed at Wang Shanlian while he was drinking: "Wang Shanlian, why do you beat people for no reason?" On weekdays, you are used to being arrogant and domineering, I see that you have a big belly and endured it, don't go too far, Wang Shanlian saw that Qian Duojin's hand protecting Yinggeqi was shaking, and she scolded Qian Duojin: "Okay, you are really getting bolder, you dare to pull and pull openly in front of me, do you still take me in your eyes." Yingge was so frightened that she quickly shook off Qian Duojin's hand and ran out crying.

Qian Duojin pointed at Wang Shanlian and said loudly: "Wang Shanlian, you have been deceived too much, what's wrong, this Qian family is mine, I just fell in love with Yingge and is like this, what can you do if I take her into the room for a little girl?" I have a lot of money, even if I take a concubine, what can you do? It's not that I would have taken you off because you have a big belly, and I would have put up with you enough if you pointed fingers at me every day. Wang Shanlian heard Qian Duojin say this, and angrily smashed it with a teapot like him, Qian Duojin saw that Wang Shanlian was angry, and ran out with a roll.
