Chapter 14: The Way to Go
Then the order changed, originally after the moon, it should be the Ma family, but this time the Zhao family actually gave the Li family's children porridge first, then the Li family, and then the Ma family.
When Ma saw this scene, his face was silent, but in fact, he had already thought about it in his heart.
Ye Xing and Ye Wenjun are still the last wave, there is nothing left in the soup, almost all of them are soup and wild vegetables, and when it is Xing's turn, there is only soup left.
Xing sat there tremblingly, glanced at Zhao carefully, and heard her say that she could start eating, so he picked up the bowl and began to drink porridge, oh no, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it water.
Ye Xing and Ye Wenjun glanced at each other, broke half of their steamed buns with a very light movement, carefully hid them, and then began to eat.
As soon as Xing swallowed a mouthful of porridge water, he saw Zhao put down the steamed bun in his hand, slapped it on the wooden table, and let out a "Bang!" There was a bang.
Xing's body trembled reflexively, although she was cowardly, she was not stupid, and she already had a premonition in her heart about what might happen this morning.
This voice was like a switch, and the moment Sanfang Li heard the sound, he immediately sped up his eating, but the others reacted the opposite, put down their chopsticks, and looked at Zhao.
Seeing Zhao's small eyes like knives, shooting at Xing's, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Do you want to eat me to death with this steamed bun you made?" Hard as stone! ”
Xing's face turned pale and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but before she could say anything.
Zhao Shi spoke again: "Is the Ye family lacking you to eat or to drink, who do you show every day?"
"Mother, I'll go re-steam right away." Xing Shi hurriedly said, preparing to stand up as he spoke.
"Re-steaming? What do you want to do? When you buy food, you can toss it hard? You don't know what's going on at home. ”
"Look at Langzhong, it cost three hundred and ninety dollars, do you want a big family to drink the northwest wind?" Zhao pointed a finger at Xing and scolded viciously.
Xing's face became paler and paler, and one hand tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if this would give her strength and make her stand firm.
"Mother, Zhen'er... Zhen'er, she is also your granddaughter..."The rest of the words gradually faded into silence in Zhao's glare.
"You still know she's my granddaughter? I don't know, I think she's my ancestor, that's three hundred and ninety dollars! ”
"You can't beat a stuffy thing with your three sticks, and you can't earn it for the rest of your life!" Zhao was panting, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Why did she find such a daughter-in-law? There is no dowry, not to mention, and there is no pleasing baby born, this family is here to collect debts!
"I'm annoyed when I look at your face, don't eat today's meal, now go and fertilize the vegetable patch in the backyard!" Zhao scolded fiercely.
Ye Zhengming, who was at the other table, couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, so he stood up and walked in front of Zhao in a few steps.
"Poof" knelt down in front of her, bowing her head: "Mother, I'm going to work, I'll go to town after eating this meal, I will definitely find a job and earn money for my mother!" ”
"That's what you said!" Zhao didn't care if his son was cold on his knees, and said immediately.
"Well, the grain in the field is now finished, so let's go to the town now, find a job, and subsidize the family." Ye Zhengming lowered his head a little and said in a muffled voice.
If Ye Hao was here at the moment, she would definitely applaud the Zhao family's demon, well done, too good, you successfully pushed your son out by another point.
If it is said that Ye Zhengming originally hid his private money, he might still have a trace of guilt and self-blame in his heart, but now the Zhao family has personally extinguished this emotion.
Moreover, my father had planned to go to town, but before I could say anything, my grandmother couldn't help but have a seizure first.
However, being willing to go on your own initiative and being forced to go in this way are two different feelings, even if my father honestly doesn't think much about it, he will definitely not feel good in his heart.
With the second son's initiative, Zhao felt a little better, but she still felt dissatisfied, and looked at the third son again: "You wait for a while to finish eating, and go to the town with your second brother." ”
Ye Zhengli, who was eating fragrantly, stiffened his face when he heard this, but he quickly smiled again: "Mother, the second brother can go, what am I going to do?" ”
As soon as Zhao heard this, the fire immediately came up: "What are you doing?" Go find a job! After the grain in the field is harvested, you don't go to the town to find a job, and you still want to raise lazy bones at home? ”
"That's it, you go with your second brother after eating, if you can't find a job, don't come back, and then let me see you wandering around, secretly touching cards and losing money, see if I don't break your legs,!"
"Don't spend the money you earn, bring it back to me, do you hear?"
"Oh." Ye Zhengli responded listlessly, feeling that the food in front of him was not fragrant.
He did plan to wander around the village after eating, looking for an opportunity to touch cards and gamble money, but now it is good, the opportunity is directly blocked.
"Zhou Papi is not as ruthless as his mother!" He muttered to himself.
The work in the field has just been completed, and he didn't even breathe, so he was arranged by his mother to have a new job, and the second brother is to blame! Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Zhengming with resentment.
After Zhao said this, he turned his head and seemed to notice the second son kneeling on the ground: "What are you doing on your knees?" Still not up yet? It's another expense to get sick with a cold! ”
"Hmm." Ye Zhengming didn't argue, he stood up obediently, didn't return to his position immediately, hesitated, and said, "That mother, look..."
Zhao glanced at Xing charity, and finally spoke: "Okay, let's sit down and eat." ”
This meal, it is estimated that only the Zhao family can eat comfortably.
At the end of the meal, Ye Fang said: "Erlang is not here to get the medicine, you can take these two steamed buns back and give them to him." ”
The elder of the Zhao family's face was staring at the second son with knife-like eyes, as if he wanted him to give up on his own initiative.
But this time, Ye Zhengming didn't let her get her wish, his eyes swept over Xing and his two children, bowed his head and was silent for a moment, and responded in a low voice: "Okay!" ”
...............
What happened in the main house, although Ye Hao didn't know, she could guess a little, she also felt sorry for Xing, she was also helpless, if she didn't do this, if she could make her father wake up?
Although his father is not a foolish and filial, he has never disobeyed Zhao's orders for so many years, allowing her to squeeze Xing's labor and mean her children's food, and Xing's cowardice has deepened this phenomenon.
It's not that the father doesn't feel sorry for Xing and the child, but he doesn't want to contradict his mother, what he does is to help Xing do the heavy work and save some of his rations for the child.....
