Chapter 35: The Husband and the Concubines (2)
"No matter which family you are the daughter of, this is not in accordance with the rules, not to mention that this genuine lady is still here, how can you be so presumptuous!" When Su's mother saw that her daughter was wronged, she was angry and scolded the woman.
"Our Shen family doesn't have a son, a daughter is a son, and this rule naturally can't be followed by a daughter! After Zhao Laosan and our daughter cave house, this house is still for you to live in, this son-in-law, you will go back to our Shen family to help take care of the rice business. This Mother Shen stood on the dam and raised her eyes to look at the house.
"What, go back to your Shen family to take care of business?" Su Mi gasped, when did her husband have this woman outside, she didn't know.
"You and ...... How did you and your husband meet? Su Mi didn't want to ask, but looking at the mother and daughter, they entered the room as if they were going to squeeze themselves away, but they couldn't help but ask.
Shen Ke is not as aggressive as her mother, but her eyes are full of confidence, and a casual look is about to crush Su Mi: "He is in the tofu business, and I am in the rice business, both are businessmen, so naturally we know each other." ”
"Did my husband say he wanted to marry you?"
"Of course, if you marry me, you don't have to do the work in the fields, we just do business. But sister, this house is spacious, I don't fight with you, you and your mother can live here forever! As soon as Shen Ke arrived at home, he arranged for his original wife to come.
It's really Su Mi's soft temperament, and he always thinks about others, so when it comes to this, he just feels uncomfortable, "Is this what my husband means?" ”
"I'm all here, what do you think?" Shen Ke pursed a bright red lip, opened his mouth and smiled, his white teeth like bright moonlight.
"This matter can only be decided after my uncle comes back, and you are a woman who came by herself, it doesn't count." After all, Su's mother is old, and her momentum is still a little worse than that of Shen Ke's mother and daughter.
"Really? But I also heard that this sister Su Mi was not carried by Zhao Laosan and eight sedan chairs, but also came step by step with her own legs! Shen Ke smiled widely, but his mouth was unforgiving.
Su Mi choked a pair of teary eyes, the pain in her heart was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, and her jade-like upper teeth bit her lower lip, and there was a trace of blood between her teeth.
"Mother, let's go home!" Su Mi pulled her mother and said resolutely.
"Mi'er, this is all the words of this mother and daughter, I have to wait for my uncle to come back and listen to what my uncle has to say." Seeing that her daughter ran away, Su's mother chased after her and said anxiously.
Su Mi only felt that her body seemed to be falling apart, and she didn't wear a pair of shoes, so she had wind under her feet and ran to her mother's house. The wind was blowing in my ears, my shoes were falling off, and a pair of bare feet were on the ground. His eyes were full of tears, his brain was buzzing, and his mouth shouted: "It's all a lie, it's all a lie!" ”
This Su mother chased hard behind her, but after all, she was old, where could her daughter run fast. Seeing that there was really no trick, he ran towards the town, thinking about telling his son-in-law that his son-in-law should go after Su Mi, and he should be faster.
ran all the way home, and Su Mi only took more than an hour. On weekdays, it takes three hours to go home, and when I get home, I push open the door and sit on the chair in the hall, a delicate little face is flushed, there are tears in my eyes, and a pair of peach lips are bitten by Fang Cai's teeth, which is a little scabbed, and a touch of scarlet is particularly dazzling.
Sweat ran down her neck into the placket, and her sister-in-law Gu Chunqiang heard the movement, came out of the bedroom, and was startled when she saw that it was her sister. looked at it, this look, embarrassed and aggrieved, "Sister, did you fight with your brother-in-law?" ”
Su Mi didn't answer, but just glanced at her sister-in-law in a daze, a pair of apricot eyes with tears pouring down, like a flood that burst the embankment.
Seeing Su Mi crying so much, Gu Chunqiang crossed his hands on his waist and began to count down: "Sister is not sister-in-law who said you, this man is the most unreliable, you are delicate and weak, and the man is just looking fresh, if it is a long time, it is not as good as the mellow woman." ”
Taking a closer look, there were three scratches of different shades on Su Mi's left cheek, "Look at the wound on your face, was it from your brother-in-law?" ”
"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it!" Su Mi lay on the table and cried.
Gu Chunqiang saw that his sister was uncomfortable, on the one hand, he felt empathy, and on the other hand, he was watching jokes. When this girl took her man and taught her husband and wife proudly, she never thought that she would have today.
"If you want me to say, you should have married that Master Xue in the first place, even if he returned to the West, you would be able to worry about food and clothing in the past. What's so good about this Zhao Laosan, that is, he has a big waist and a thick waist and can do a good job, and the tofu sells for so much money every day, where can he compare with Master Xue. Gu Shi also sat down, seeing Su Mi like this, she was very happy.
"Sister-in-law, please, don't say any more, okay?" Su Mi's thin body lay on the table, and with the rhythm of sobbing, her body trembled.
"Now that I'm back, I will still have you in this family in the future, and my sister-in-law is not a person who has lost her conscience, she will live in wherever she lived before, and she will do whatever she did before!" Gu Chun was distributed, and yawned after speaking.
"Now, this field is gone, and there is another mouth in the family, I see that the wasteland in the west of the village is not bad, why don't my sister go out and grow some food!" Gu Chunqiang did little farm work in the past, and she couldn't do this thing of pulling weeds and carrying hoes. Right now, there is only one way to bully his sister.
Su Mi only felt that her headache was about to collapse, and she couldn't hear what her sister-in-law Gu Chunqi was saying on the side. I only remembered Zhao Laosan and Shen Ke in my heart, and I even thought about the picture when they were together.
Su Binghuai saw that the crying was getting louder and louder, and he also came out of the side house and saw his sister-in-law: "Yo! Sister, I knew why I had to do it today, there was no funeral in our family, why are you crying so loudly? ”
"Don't say a word, it's the busy farming season right now, my sister is back at this time, and our family has one more person to work, which can be regarded as a happy event!" Gu Chunzi poured a cup of tea and sipped the man who was squeezing his eyebrows at his man.
"But after all, it was my Su Binghuai's sister who was bullying, this Zhao Laosan, the third king and eight lambs, if I bumped into him, he would definitely break his legs!" Su Binghuai is a man after all, and he feels that his sister is angry at her husband's house, so he still has to vent his anger for her.
"I think someone broke your legs! This woman's fate is like this, you didn't want to divorce me a few days ago, you have to think about it! Gu Chunqiang saw that Su Mi supported his body, his cheeks were full of tears, and he hurriedly took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, reached out and wiped Su Mi's cheeks.
"Sister, tell me, what happened to Zhao Laosan? Did it hit you? Or do I don't want you anymore and drive you back? Su Binghuai only saw that his sister was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and his brain was confused.
"Husband...... The husband wants to take a concubine! Su Mi was about to stop crying, but as soon as this matter came to her mouth, she couldn't help sobbing, and a pair of autumn scissors cried a little red and swollen.
"Hey! I thought it was a big deal, sister, this is a common thing for men, no matter how many concubines you take, you are still the biggest, what are you crying about? When Su Binghuai heard this, his face was relaxed.
"What do you know, my sister-in-law has only been married for a few months, and this brother-in-law is about to take a concubine, isn't it too fast?" Gu Chunchi opened his mouth and glanced at his man.
"However, this brother-in-law is really capable. Now that the war is raging, I don't know when this peaceful life will pass, if these men are not high-ranking officials and dignitaries, they would have stopped taking concubines, and he still has the ability to take concubines? Su Binghuai put his hands in his sleeves, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and he circled around the room.
"A little bit of ability, which man is not three wives and four concubines, only the poor family in this village, the men who go to the fields and farm are so sloppy, and they only guard one woman for the rest of their lives." Gu Chunchi has long been accustomed to the thoughts of these men, and he doesn't feel inappropriate at all.
On the street of Qinghe Town
Su's mother finally arrived in the town and saw that Zhao Laosan had just finished selling tofu and was about to pack up the cart and go home. I was still carrying all kinds of pastries I bought from the Hibiscus Pastry Shop, thinking that my little lady and mother-in-law loved to eat.
When Su's mother saw her son-in-law, she didn't say much, but simply said that Shen Ke's mother and daughter came to recognize the door, saying that it was about his concubine's room. His daughter Su Mi was so angry about this that she has now run home alone.
After Zhao Laosan heard this, his face sank first. Then he handed the cart to Xiao Er of the Hibiscus Cake Pastry Shop and walked towards Sujia Village.
Rao was tall, with a big step, a knife-like cheek, and a gloomy look like a mountain pressed down.
Su's mother followed behind, sweating profusely, but she could only look at her son-in-law's back from a distance. However, looking at his son-in-law's anxious appearance, although he couldn't be sure whether the matter of taking a concubine was true, he at least understood that Su Mi was still the most important thing in his heart.
At noon, the scorching sun shone on Qinghe Town, and there were few people around, but a few people could be seen planting crops in the fields.
In less than an hour, Zhao Laosan arrived at Sujia Village. After bypassing the three fields and crossing a river, you can see the thatched house of the Su family. Zhao Laosan's heart still did not relax, but became more urgent.
Finally, I arrived at Su's house. The door of this courtyard is open, and there are strings of small footprints on the black clay outside, no need to guess, just one glance, Zhao Laosan knows that this is Su Mi's footprints. His eyebrows twisted, and his heart ached, he knew that she had walked back barefoot all the way.
The man's footsteps were a little heavy, and as soon as he arrived in front of the hall, Su Binghuai came out, and when he saw that it was Zhao Laosan, he was angry, picked up the wooden stick by the door and hit it: "You sanctimonious guy, I call you a concubine, I call you a concubine......"
