Chapter 232: Forgiveness
Talking about the purlin daughter-in-law, he praised her in front of people, praised her filial piety, praised her for understanding etiquette, and even those children played in it, and the aunt and aunt put it on their lips for a long time. ”
"No, I've also heard that this old man Zheng and the Meng people are old and fine, and they are afraid that they will cover up for their daughter-in-law for the sake of face, but those little cubs are unlikely to lie, I haven't seen them say that their third aunt is what's wrong in the past, and the purlin daughter-in-law is really good."
Some people praised, and naturally some people questioned it, and no one took the bad things in the village before: "This person, it's impossible just to look inside, who knows if there is a traitor inside?" When the purlin daughter-in-law didn't get married, there were a bunch of nonsense, and this time there was that kind of speculation just in the stomach, which showed that it was not all good. ”
The previous bad words all spread to Lijia Village, and the remaining three villages surnamed Zheng naturally spread all over the village. It's just that they were not cautious in their contact with the Zheng family, so they didn't put it on the table to study, and they didn't shy away from the children in the family.
"It's hard to say this kind of thing, the purlin's daughter-in-law is carrying wild seeds in her belly, even if the old man Zheng and Meng Shi pinch their noses and admit it, according to the purlin's character, can he be willing to take this green hat? It's good that you didn't beat people to death. ”
"That is, I don't want to think about what day it is, I want to worship my ancestors on the family tree! This is on the family tree, that is the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, if the daughter-in-law of the purlin is really unfaithful to the purlin, can she stand here today? ”
This sentence on the back is to the point, and even the villagers who questioned Guo Mianmian at the beginning were speechless, and they didn't know how to refute it. It is also Guo Mianmian who is crooked, and the confrontation must be on the genealogy, otherwise I am afraid that people who do not believe in her disloyalty to Zheng Rin will also question her.
, Guo Mianmian was busy arranging the sacrifices, and he didn't pay attention to a research on the surroundings, but the Niu family, who was lined up at the back, heard it, and was so angry that he almost dropped the basket containing the sacrifices in his hand.
There's no way, hearing others compare herself with the person she hates the most, and being completely compared, this is the same as poking a knife in her heart without a body.
What taught her even more resentment was that after a mental calculation, not only did not slander Zheng Rin and Guo Mianmian, but made the two look more affectionate, and the affection between each other stimulated her almost crazy, especially with Zheng Shuiqing as a comparison, she was even more jealous and wanted to pounce on Guo Mianmian to strangle Guo Mianmian, so that she could stand by Zheng Rin's side.
This mentality has nothing to do with whether she likes porridge or not, it's just that she has wanted to be a master since she was a child, and after she couldn't realize this long-cherished wish in Tong's father, she put her hope on her husband in the future.
After hearing that Zheng Rin was such a person, she felt that the opportunity had come, but it happened that no one looked at her, so she had to retreat and choose Zheng Shuiqing, just because she felt that Zheng Shuiqing and Zheng Rin were brothers, and the three brothers lived together after building such a big house, and their parents would not live apart, so she still had a good life.
There is nothing wrong with such a calculation, after marrying into the Zheng family, the living level of the Niu family has directly increased a lot, and it is a pity that once separated, the dream of becoming a master was shattered.
If Niu is really clever, he should know that he can't rely on others all the time, and he regrets that she is a fool, thinking that he is unlucky, so he moved the idea that he shouldn't move, even if he can't replace him, he should pull down the person who gave birth to his demons and become more miserable than himself. Only in this way can the ability to feel truly happy.
Niu's obscure thoughts, Guo Mianmian didn't know, and he didn't have fun to know. made this woman covet the man, and she didn't take her seriously, and worked hard to figure out the other party's thoughts.
After helping to put the sacrifices on the table, Guo Mianmian stood honestly with his man, if it weren't for his demeanor and aura over there, it would look like he was no different from all the newly married daughters-in-law, and others would not take a second look.
"Is it cold or not?" Zheng Rin shook his daughter-in-law's hand, and couldn't help but ask worriedly when he noticed that it was colder than his hand.
"It's not cold, it's good to think about it all at once." Guo Mianmian was dressed thickly, and his hands were a little cold when he was blown by the wind just now, and his body was very hot and not cold at all.
Zheng Rin was not at ease, but still held her hands and warmed her hands with the temperature of her palms.
A woman saw it and joked to Zheng Rin: "This marriage is unusual, how rough it was in the past, it will hurt people this time." ”
Zheng Rin didn't spread out his hands, and looked serious: "It hurts if my daughter-in-law marries back." ”
When the woman heard this, she looked at Guo Mianmian and admired: "The purlin daughter-in-law is blessed, and I have seen many sisters-in-law, and few can hurt people like the purlin." ”
Guo Mianmian lowered her head and pretended to be shy: "Sister-in-law ......"
There is no doubt how thick the skin is at home, as a new daughter-in-law, it is better to keep it in it, it is inevitable that women will have contrasts, and it is impossible to be complacent with exposure, so as not to be considered slippery.
Looking at Guo Mianmian's reaction, the woman revealed a kind smile. learned that Guo Mianmian was going to go to the family tree today, and kindly reminded her of the matters she should pay attention to, so as not to make people laugh about her mistakes.
At present, other people are coming over one after another, the ancestor worship ceremony has not officially begun, led by the woman in the lead, and other people who are curious about Guo Mianmian are gradually surrounding, some people are concerned about her life in the Zheng family, some people are concerned about the child in her belly, and many people ask whether her mother's family still needs to recruit people to help after the beginning of spring, whether they can count one.
This kind of environment is just the time to pull into the relationship, and it is not a question that the body is impossible to reply, Guo Mianmian expresses her opinions endlessly, that is, whether her mother's spring is recruiting, she also said a few words in the mud, only saying that she would mention it to her mother's family.
These women didn't know that Guo Mianmian's flower sauce business still had Guo Mianmian's share, so they felt that she was the water spilled by her married daughter, and the whole of her mother's family had nothing to do with her. Hearing her say that she was happy to mention it to her mother, she felt that she was a good person, so she didn't ask too much.
After waiting for maybe half a while, the dozens of tables were already full of offerings. The patriarch and several clan elders arrived belatedly, and after confirming the number of people in each household, they revealed that the ancestor worship had officially begun.
Guo Mianmian intervened in ancestor worship for the first time, and was full of curiosity about the whole process. It's just that before she could hear the patriarch clearly, Meng Shi pulled her and pointed to a place under the eaves and said, "When the patriarch finishes speaking, I will give you brides a genealogy, you go there and wait first, and see what the others do, you can do it." ”
Guo Mianmian looked in the direction pointed by her mother-in-law, and saw that there were already two young daughters-in-law standing there, who looked like they were newly married last year.
Meng's unease is, and he kept admonishing: "You can go to the family tree at any time, and you will knock on it later, if you can't hold it, tell the patriarch, it's a big deal to go up again in the next year, and the patriarch will be compassionate." ”
"Mother, I know, you don't have to worry." Guo Mianmian comforted her mother-in-law, feeling a little helpless in her heart. She is not a child, and between the child and the family tree, she will definitely have a child urgently.
Zheng Rin was also not at ease, and advised: "You are not the only one who will enter the ancestral hall later, you pay attention to your step, don't trip over the threshold." ”
Meng Shi on the side also nodded violently.
Guo Mianmian was really helpless, she didn't want her ears to continue to absorb the chatter of the son and mother, so she simply stopped talking about her body and walked directly to the eaves.
Zheng Rin, who wanted to send his daughter-in-law over, looked at the empty hand and took it back, but a pair of eyes did not leave the back of his daughter-in-law.
plus Guo Mianmian, this time there are six little daughters-in-law in the family tree, all of whom are fifteen or sixteen years old. Guo Mianmian stood between them, and felt that there were several age groups in the middle, directly junior high school students and old fritters in society.
The biggest difference is that Guo Mianmian pretends to be shy in front of people, and these five shallot-like little daughters-in-law are really shy. In addition, everyone came to this kind of place for the first time, and I was afraid that I also wanted to give a good impression to outsiders, Guo Mianmian intended to talk to them, and one by one, the voices were more female mosquitoes, and the fun of chatting was suddenly lost, and it was really boring.
When Guo Mianmian was bored, his eyes occasionally met with a person, this person was not someone else, it was the Mu family who went to Zheng's house yesterday to take the initiative to confess.
Mu Shi smiled calmly, his expression was not the best-looking, and it was clear that he was still resistant to what he wanted to do after worshipping his ancestors.
Guo Mianmian smiled back, and then looked away, without any thoughts of forgiveness for Mu's unwillingness. She is not a virgin, no matter what purpose the Mu clan has for spreading bad words, she will not sympathize with the sinister people.
Letting the Mu clan apologize publicly is already considered to be forgiving her, otherwise according to the clan's association with the clan, if she holds on to it, the Mu clan will not be able to please her, and maybe the child's name will be crossed off the family tree. When it comes to it, she's already very generous.
Seeing that Guo Mianmian looked away, Mu Shi also breathed a sigh of relief. Since she left the Zheng family and returned home, her heart has been worried, afraid that if she recognizes the ugly things she has done in public, she will be looked down upon, so that the man and child will not be able to start.
It's just that she didn't choose anymore, especially when she knew that the result of refusal was not something she could afford, so she didn't dare to repent and not do it. She didn't blame Guo Mianmian for making too much of a request, but she hated the Niu family for being too vicious, calculating herself to her part, and letting herself fail to achieve her goal.
Thinking of the culprit, Mu's eyes searched through the dense crowd, and sure enough, he saw Niu standing in the corner. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth silently: The old lady can't be good, and you slut don't want to be clean.
Seeing that his mother-in-law's demeanor was wrong, Zheng Daniu thought that she was going to give birth to a moth again, and warned in a low voice: "You should be disciplined, don't make trouble again, not everyone is like Uncle Purlin, who is not like you." ”
When Mu heard this, he hated it even more in his heart. She didn't dare to show it, but she restrained the fierceness in her eyes, and said impatiently: "I know, I know, I won't fool." ”
Zheng Daniu didn't doubt him, and when he saw her say this, he believed it: "It's good that you know, no matter what others say later, don't be silent, after all, I and the children won't calculate this." ”
Mu Shi nodded indiscriminately, his psychology was no longer in his husband, so he naturally didn't hear what his husband said clearly.
On the other hand, Guo Mianmian was not bored for long, and the six of them were called to the ancestral hall, and at the prompting of a clan elder, they knelt in front of the ancestral tablet of the Zheng family.
The windows in the ancestral hall are not opened, and the sunlight inside is not very good to shine in, so it looks rather gloomy. Coupled with the lack of popularity, it gives people a cold feeling. If it's a hot day, it's very cold here.
There are many tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall, and they are distributed in a doorway from the top row to the bottom row. Guo Mianmian glanced at it slightly, and estimated that there were as many as thirty or forty.
It is not that behind the Zheng clan, they all have the qualifications to put the tablet here to enjoy the offerings of the descendants, only to make sacrifices to the Zheng clan, so that the whole clan is willing to worship on incense.
