Chapter 47, the red line of the bitter mandarin duck
With the protection of Zhou Wang's family, Zhou Yuan couldn't teach Zhou Wu a lesson, so he looked at the other two sons.
Zhou Wen and Zhou Ming are both well-behaved people, and as soon as Zhou Yuan's eyes arrived, they both lowered their heads.
"Dad, my son didn't take my brother well, please punish him."
"My son didn't report it in time, please punish him."
Lin Taohua was afraid that Zhou Yuan would be angry, so she stopped directly in front of Zhou Wen and Zhou Ming, and said cowardly: "Dad, I asked them not to tell you, if you want to punish me, punish me." ”
Zhou Ming was speechless, his father was obviously angry, how could he let her woman turn this matter over lightly? Quickly pulled her aside, "The man speaks, you a woman interjects something, and stays." ”
Lin Taohua's black line, when did she have such no status and was not qualified to interject? Girl, I'm the real power in this family, okay!
Zhou Yuan was in no mood to pay attention to their small actions, and said in a cold voice: "Brother Wen, as the eldest brother, he has the responsibility of teaching his younger brothers, don't you know how to deal with Brother Wu'er if he does such a humiliating thing?" Is it enough to kneel in the ancestral hall? What are you trying to do when I don't know? ”
Zhou Wentui was the first to be taught, and said in a whisper: "Brother Wu should be punished for acting inappropriately, but he and Huiniang are in love, and it is not a ......" was stopped by Zhou Yuan with a knife in the middle of speaking.
Zhou Yuan said angrily: "No matter what the reason, this kind of thing that humiliates the ancestors is not allowed to happen in my Zhou family." ”
Zhou Wen hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, my son wrote it down." The father was angry. ”
Zhou Yuan glared at him for a long time before looking at Zhou Ming: "Brother Ming, the garden was built by you, and the family business is also your husband and wife, so your brother and I made you the head of Zhuohua Villa." Today I want to ask you, do you know what a head of the house is? Brother Wu'er, he is your second brother, yes, he is a member of my Zhou family, if something happens, he will push it to his brother, you are the head of the family like this? Are my Zhou family's house rules a piece of waste paper? ”
Zhou Yuan pressed tightly, even if Zhou Ming was mentally prepared, he was ashamed of being asked, and obediently bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "What my father taught me was that my son knew that he was wrong." ”
"Humph! I see that the two of you have a very good idea, and you are clearly knowingly committing a crime, and you are kneeling here for me, and each of you has copied the house rules on the wall a thousand times for me. With that, he waved his sleeves and left.
For the first time, Lin Taohua saw the inoffensive majesty of the ancient patriarch, and also deeply realized how important family rules were to the ancient family. She didn't dare to take Zhou Wu down for treatment without permission, so she ran back to the room to get the ointment.
"Mother, give the second brother some medicine." She had been begging the Zhou Wang clan for a while.
"Let him suffer." Zhou Wang's family was not distressed, but thinking of what Zhou Wu had done, her chest hurt in anger.
Lin Taohua bit her lip, "Mother is ruthless, Peach Blossom can't do it, if you don't give it to him, I'll come by myself, it's my second brother anyway." ”
How could Zhou Wang's family let her little daughter-in-law give Zhou Wu medicine, snatched it up, glared at her before carefully smearing it on Zhou Wu.
There was peach gum in the ointment, and the healing effect was very good, and after a while, Zhou Wu woke up slowly. He hadn't drunk water for two or three days, and his lips were so dry that Lin Taohua hurriedly brought him a cup of tea.
"Second brother, I'll get you some porridge." I haven't eaten for so long, and I've been beaten so badly, and if I don't eat again, I'm afraid I'm going to have a fever at night.
Zhou Wu shook his head and knelt silently.
"Wronged!" Zhou Wang sighed, and tears fell again.
"Peach Blossom, you help your mother go back to the room first, the people outside tell them what to do, and the normal arrangement of things at home is." Zhou Ming saw Lin Taohua fidgeting and walking around, so he helped her out.
Lin Taohua thought that it was not a way to stay here, so she helped Zhou Wang's family away.
When there were only three brothers left in the ancestral hall, Zhou Wen scolded with a smile: "Brother Wu, you stinky boy, eldest brother, I am in my twenties this year, and I can still be punished by you for kneeling, and I will be sorry if I don't make some achievements in the future." ”
Zhou Wu's face was pale, and he was very guilty: "Big brother, I wrote it down." ”
Zhou Wenwen wanted to punch him, but he couldn't find a place to start, so he could only scold the stinky boy again.
Zhou Mingwan'er, and then sighed: "Second brother, it is estimated that my father will go to Sister Hui's house tomorrow to discuss family affairs, and when the marriage is completed, there will be no room for you in the garden." Peach Blossom and I bought a courtyard in Qiongya County, and you and Sister Hui lived in it first after they got married. I thought that when you have an heir, my mother will pity your grandson and will intercede for you. You and Sister Hui live in peace first, don't think too much. ”
Zhou Wu didn't have the luxury of staying at home, but he felt that he had affected his brother and younger brother, and he couldn't go away.
"Brother Ming, it's the second brother who makes you embarrassed."
Zhou Ming said with a smile: "I want my second brother to be happy more than being punished by my father." Hehe, I don't have any burden as a private person, and the second brother doesn't have to care. ”
Zhou Wen scolded with a smile: "Pull me to do the back, Brother Ming doesn't have the slightest burden to do it." ”
Zhou Ming was not embarrassed at all, and said with a shy face: "With the eldest brother supporting the field, the younger brother and I have the backbone." ”
", I think you're just not willing to be punished alone."
"Punishment and sharing are brothers."
"Stinky boy!"
"Haha." The three brothers looked at each other and smiled.
After Lin Taohua sent Zhou Wang's family back, she rushed back to the ancestral hall, and happened to hear the three people inside laughing, and she was speechless, she was worried in vain. In other words, is it really good to do such a non-serious thing in a serious place like an ancestral hall?
Anyway, the people inside were fine, so Lin Taohua simply went to get busy. Zhou Hui didn't come for the past two days, and the pile of braised meat in the champion building fell on her head again.
Early the next morning, each of the three brothers carried a wad of family training into the main house. Zhou Yuan's face was still very stinky, but he didn't say anything more, accepted the family motto and asked Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu to go back, and took Zhou Ming to Zhou Baogen's house.
Standing in front of the low thatched hut, Zhou Yuan was very emotional. I remember the last time he stood here stylish and young, but now he is half a hundred. Unexpectedly, after going around and around, his family still became in-laws with Zhou Baogen's family.
"Are the Bogan brothers at home?" Although Zhou Yuan didn't want to see Zhou Baogen, a bad gambler who sold women, Zhou Hui was a good woman, since he wanted to make her his daughter-in-law, he naturally had to take care of her face, and the process should be followed.
Zhou Yuan waited at the door for a while and no one opened the door, so he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming stepped forward and said, "Uncle Baogen probably drank too much again, let's go in directly." ”
Zhou Yuan had no opinion, so Zhou Ming pushed the door directly and entered.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Yuan was stunned by the smell of the smell in the room. Sunlight filtered through the door, revealing what was going on inside. The room was littered with dirty clothes, the dining table was placed directly on the kang, and the dishes with leftovers on the table had not been washed for a long time, and all that was visible to the naked eye were black stains. Zhou Baogen was sleeping on his back with a quilt that could not see the color.
But after a few years of hard work, the former thrifty man has degenerated like this, Zhou Yuan frowned in disgust.
Zhou Hui and Zhang Youfu came to Zhou Ming once last time, and this time they were much calmer. He stepped forward and twisted Zhou Baogen's exposed thighs hard.
"Whew!" Zhou Baogen, who was dreaming of making a fortune, screamed in pain.
He saw Zhou Yuan and Zhou Ming who were uninvited, and exclaimed bitterly: "My gold bars, my beauty, oops, it's all gone." ”
The corners of Zhou Ming's mouth twitched, and he bowed down very politely and said, "Uncle Baogen, my father came to discuss marriage with you." ”
Zhou Baogen was stunned for a moment, and then a string of gold ingots floated in front of him, and after smirking for a moment, he sucked and invited Zhou Yuan and Zhou Ming to sit enthusiastically.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the messy room and said lightly: "No need, Brother Baogen is also a busy person, let's just get down to business." The younger brother came this time to discuss the marriage of Hui Niang and Wu Ge'er with his brother, I don't know what you think? ”
Zhou Baogen quickly got dressed when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said, "How embarrassing is this." My family Huiniang is a divorced woman, and she is dragging a child, so she is really not worthy of Brother Wu. ”
Zhou Yuan sneered in his heart, this is to sit on the ground and start the price? If it weren't for Zhou Wu's only Zhou Hui in his heart, he wouldn't want to deal with Zhou Baogen, the guy who ruined the marriage contract and broke his face.
"That's what I mean, it's just that Brother Wu doesn't give up, so I just ran away, since Brother Baogen also means this, I'll go back and decide his thoughts."
Zhou Baogen was dumbfounded when he heard this, isn't this here to discuss marriage? If you haven't talked about it yet, how can you forget it? He's just going to take Joe.
"Hey, Brother Yuan, please stay, although my family Huiniang is not Yun Ying unmarried, but Brother Wu doesn't like it, how can we not be fulfilled as elders, hehe, you say yes?"
Zhou Yuan sighed, "With my current status in the village, the matchmakers who came to the door have all broken through the threshold, but this stinky boy likes Huiniang alone." If his mother doesn't agree, he won't get up on his knees, so let me try it, if Brother Baogen doesn't agree with him, he will give up this idea......"
