Chapter 13: Giving Pocket Money
The two saw that it was Zhao Laosan who came back, so they pulled Su Mi's hand before letting go: "Since it's my brother-in-law who is back, this matter will be easy to do!" ”
"What?" Although Zhao Laosan has never talked to his wife about the grievances she suffered in her mother's family, his heart is as clear as Spiegel.
Su Mi looked up at his man with tears in his eyes: "My brother and sister-in-law said that my mother is sick, and he is the only one to support the family's affairs, and I want to take twenty yuan......"
"Twenty cents?" Zhao Laosan's eyebrows twisted, and his dark cheeks did not have any expression, "It's true that my lady is a member of your Su family, and it is natural to honor your parents, but didn't I give you fifty yuan when I proposed marriage?" ”
"What? When the husband proposed, he gave his brother and sister-in-law fifty dollars? Su Mi only knew that when Zhao Laosan came to the Su family, he gave some money, but he didn't know how much he gave. It's fifty wen, not to mention in this remote town, even if it was in the capital a few years ago, it was enough to win a small restaurant.
Su Mi raised her head and looked at her man, she was infamous in Sujia Village, and she was worthy of him to take fifty yuan to propose. With this kind of love, Su Mi only felt that his heart was warm, and he couldn't help but shrink his body into the man's arms again.
"Now that there are wars and chaos, my father is gone, I am the only one who can work at home, and I don't need money inside and out!" Su Binghuai's hands were still in the coarse cloth cuffs, and when he saw that Zhao Laosan's face was ugly, his heart was a little weak, and his voice was lowered.
"Even if you don't work in this town, you can live for a year and a half, and it's only been squandered in just over 20 days?" Zhao Laosan's voice was cold, his thin lips were closed one by one, and he only hugged his mother's hand, which was gentle.
"Don't forget, that's the money you gave to our family, and our Su family can spend it as much as they like."
"Don't say it's January, even if it's a day, it's our Su family's business!" The sister-in-law of the Su family, Gu, crossed her hands on her hips, and looked like a woman in the field fighting for land.
Zhao Laosan's eyebrows were full of anger, and he gave the Su family fifty yuan at the beginning, all to save face for Su Mi. I only hope that my brother and sister-in-law will go out and talk about it, even if Su Mi is a widow, someone will pay a high price for a dowry to marry home.
"Good! That's your Su family's business, and it has nothing to do with my Zhao family, and the two of you came to me as brothers and sisters-in-law. This delicious and delicious hospitality, if my brother and sister-in-law are willing to stay, they will stay for a few days and then go back, if they don't want it to be early now, it is not impossible to go back immediately! Zhao Laosan let go of his little lady, unloaded the two wooden boxes containing tofu on the board car, and put them on the stone mill.
At present, the day is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and Zhao Laosan has only been wearing a coarse cloth gown since the end of February, and all the pear blossoms at the east end of the house have fallen. This courtyard is refreshing and full of vitality inside and out, Gu Shi looked at his sister and Zhao Laosan's fat life, and he was unhappy in his heart: "Su Mi is also a member of our Su family, if the twenty yuan is not out today, he will follow us back to his mother's house to serve his mother!" ”
This Gu family has been strong since she married into the Su family, and those village women in Sujia Village also know who she is. Right now, he reached out and grabbed Su Mi's slender arm and dragged it out of the courtyard.
Su Mi has always been well-behaved in her mother's house, what her father and mother say is what she says, and after her father goes, her brother and sister-in-law will listen to whatever she says. was dragged by Gu's, and his wrist hurt, "Sister-in-law...... If my mother really has anything to do, I'll go back and serve! ”
Zhao Laosan saw that the Gu clan was bullying his little lady like this, and hurriedly paced over, his eyebrows twisted, and there was a cold heroic spirit between his eyebrows, "You dare to take her away?" ”
Zhao Laosan married the Su family, and he also heard some gossip about the Su family when he sold tofu in the town. The two gambled and ate and drank in the town all day long, and the fifty yuan was afraid that they would lose the gambling money.
The three of them pulled and pulled, how could the Gu clan have Zhao Laosan's strength, and the whole person staggered to the ground after a while.
Zhao Laosan hugged his little lady, and saw that her white wrists were pinched red and purple, and the clarity between his eyebrows was gentle, and he protected her behind him in distress: "If my sister-in-law forcibly takes my mother away, then I will be forced." ”
"You are a big man bullying your sister-in-law, is it a shame to say that you are ashamed to go out? Since he is the son-in-law of our Su family, he has to take care of the elders of our Su family, what's wrong with this? Su Binghuai saw that Zhao Laosan had big shoulders and thick waist, and he deliberately shouted if he couldn't force it, and these village women who loved to watch the excitement surrounded him.
Zhao Laosan was silent and rarely interacted with these people, even if he got married last month, he did not invite the villagers to come to the house for dinner. Seeing that there were gradually more and more village women around her, Su Mi was a little panicked: "What's the matter with my brother and sister-in-law, let's go into the house and talk about it." ”
"Nope! I'm going to say it here! The Gu clan sat on the ground and told Su Mi how to kill Master Xue and how to marry Zhao Laosan.
Su Mi saw that her sister-in-law was so tricky, so she only hid behind her man and wept timidly. A delicate cheek, and in a moment, two streams of tears crossed the pointed jaw.
Zhao Laosan didn't like these village women, but when he saw Su Binghuai and Gu Shi messing around, he dragged the two of them up and threw them outside the courtyard.
The surrounding women saw that Zhao Laosan was really angry, so they dispersed. Su Binghuai and Gu Shi saw that they couldn't get the money, and they touched their noses again, and they were a little afraid of Zhao Laosan, so they left while saying cruel words.
Zhao Laosan shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and scooped a scoop of water at the well in the courtyard.
"If the husband is a mother, there is really a ...... of three long and two short"
"Mother is fine, it's just that your brother and sister-in-law really shouldn't be used to it, gambling and eating and drinking in the town all day long, even if it's only five hundred yuan, it's not enough for the two of them to squander." Zhao Laosan didn't even look at Su Mi, but looked at the green cloth mattress sheet drying in the yard, remembering that there was a lot of lingering last night, and his heart was soft and he felt even more sorry for his little lady.
Su Mi saw that his man only did his own thing, thinking that he was because his mother's brother and sister-in-law came to make a scene, so that the concubines were unhappy when they all knew about her in Sujia Village, and her voice was murmuring: "If you are angry, husband, you can scold me and beat me!" ”
Zhao Laosan wore his own lady's newly made cloth shoes today, and now the soles of his feet are still warm, and he saw Su Mi's smiling face and turned red with anxiety: "The women's mouths are broken, and the lady doesn't take it to heart." ”
It was getting dark, and the man picked up the beans to be soaked at night, and went to the stove to cook dinner. The little lady followed behind and washed the vegetables that Zhao Laosan brought back today, and bursts of white cooking smoke floated from the chimney.
The two of them had a simple dinner at night, and Su Mirao was so nervous that he couldn't eat. Zhao Laosan was a little tired, and he didn't comfort her, but he just looked at it in his eyes. When he arrived at the bedroom, the man took out some money from the money bag around his waist and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "I'm afraid that when I'm not at home and have to use the money, you can keep some for yourself!" ”
Su Mi took the money with the man's body temperature, her apricot eyes sank, and her delicate cheeks were white under the glow of the candle flame: "Husband, you don't have to give me money, what my brother and sister-in-law say, don't take it to heart!" ”
