Chapter 36: I Can't See Her Anymore
"Oh, oh-" The sound of roosters accompanied by bursts of faint cooking smoke woke up the sleeping sun under the mountain and the villagers of Lijiazhuang. At this time, in Li Liming's house in the depths of the village, the oil lamp was finally extinguished after a rare night.
"Mother, don't say it, I'll bring all three!" Fuji Niang gritted her teeth and clenched her fists and said.
"Teng'er ......" Li Liming's eyes lit up, and he shrank back under the angry gaze of his mother.
"I said wisteria," Teng Niang has a nice boudoir name called Wisteria, and the one who spoke was Li Liming's mother-in-law Li Qiaofen, "Dabao can take it away, and Er Ya has to stay." There are so many jobs at home, you have taken everyone away, are you going to exhaust my old arms and legs? ”
"Mother!" Teng Niang lifted it in one breath, and finally put it down softly, and said a little helplessly, "I can't get out of the house on weekdays, and I'm still young, and it's already kindness for Mrs. to allow me to take it for a while." Dabao is a big child and can't be brought into the house. ”
"He's a fool to ......"
"Mother!"
"What do you ...... Li Qiaofen pursed her lips, but she was weakened. She knew that Dabao was the meat of Teng Niang's heart, and she had touched her mold. However, if she doesn't spend Dabao, she won't be able to control Erya's girl.
"Wisteria, don't there be male servants in Qianfu, wouldn't it be better if you sent Dabao to be a servant?" Li Qiaofen owes the ass on the bench and said.
"Mother! I'm not going to let my children be subordinates! Teng Niang is really hot this time, she said coldly, "Mother, don't say it, I will take Erya and Dabao away." I will bring back to you all the money that I have to give to my children. ”
As she spoke, she picked up the burden on the table and walked inside: "Dabao, Erya, my mother will take you into Beijing!" ”
"Oops......" Li Qiaofen quit, she shouted while giving her son a look.
Li Liming received the hint and hurriedly grabbed his daughter-in-law: "Teng'er, don't be angry, our children don't be subordinates, don't be subordinates!" ”
After speaking, he looked at his mother with some hesitation, looked at her weakly and asked, "Mother, why don't I accompany Dabao and Teng'er to live in Beijing for a while." Wait until it's okay, and I'll bring them back with me? Teng'er, you can help our master find a place to stay, do you think this is good? ”
When Li Qiaofen heard this, her eyes flashed and she calculated, "Who does the work in the field?" ”
"Mother, I'll go talk to the third uncle and ask the second cousin to help me live for a few days."
"That won't do! Your third uncle is very good, and he has to count money with you every day. Li Qiaofen shook her head into a rattle, "You have to go, I really owe you in my previous life." Forget it, you guys go. I'm an old immortal, and I won't die after a few days of work. ”
When Teng Niang heard this, she wanted to refute, but she was pressed back by Li Liming's pleading eyes pulling her sleeves: "Mother, then it's hard for you." Liming and I will stay in Beijing for a while and come back, Erya is sensible, she can help you do the work at home. ”
It's not that she doesn't want to take Erya into Beijing, it's that she knows this mother-in-law's temperament too well. If the whole family really enters Beijing, leaving her alone at home, I don't know how to make a fuss.
In the past, because she was a few days late in sending the silver back, the whole village shouted that she was unfilial and treated the old lady harshly. It doesn't matter if she was scolded a few times, the main reason is that the reputation of several children has been scolded by her.
The mother-in-law was stingy and greedy for money, and she didn't cover her mouth. scolded and scolded and brought the whole family and ancestors in, and she didn't think that she, her son, and grandson were also surnamed Li, and almost all the people in the village were surnamed Li.
"Okay, okay, just stay!" Li Qiaofen suddenly smiled, and even took the initiative to walk into the back room and led Dabao out, "Dabao, go to Beijing with your father and mother to see the world." ”
"Mother, I'll take a look at Erya again!" Teng Niang has been nagged by her mother-in-law since last night, and she hasn't talked to a few children properly. Now that Erya wants to stay at home alone, she feels distressed.
"Look at it, the child is still asleep!" Li Qiaofen pushed Li Liming and Tengniang out half-pushed and half-shoved.
"Mother, I haven't confiscated my things......" Li Liming said aggrievedly.
"What do you receive!" Li Qiaofen turned around and scolded, "Just let your daughter-in-law clean up some good ones from the pata (garbage) heap in Qianfu." The money that people pull out is more expensive than the gold we eat! ”
"Mother's ......" Li Liming was about to cry, his mother's mouth was really ......
"Okay, okay, hey, I'll give you a lot of money, there's everything in the capital!" Li Qiaofen sent her son away, and then turned her head and pushed Teng Niang and Dabao out, "It's dawn, the coachman has been waiting in the car all night, you guys go quickly." Erya will come back next time to see it! ”
"Bang!" Suddenly, the door of the house was kicked open, and the door was Uncle Shun, who was waiting for the carriage outside all night.
"Uncle Shun?" Fuji Niang felt the strong chill on his body. His face was shining, and he couldn't see it clearly, but his face was definitely not good.
"Teng Niang," the cigarette stick held by Uncle Shun was still burning with tobacco, and it smelled a little choking, "If you really leave Erya at home, you won't be able to see her in the future." ”
"Hey, what do you old man say!" Li Qiaofen exploded when she heard this, she took Teng Niang and Dabao inside, and she stepped forward to block Uncle Shun. It's just that she ignored her five short figures, even if Uncle Shun had bent her waist, he still crossed her and looked directly at the vine girl.
"Teng Niang, Lao Shuntou went to the village early in the morning, and I didn't want to hear anything about dirty ears." Uncle Shun snorted coldly as he spoke, lifted the cigarette stick, and smoked "let's da-da-da" and entered the house.
"Hey, what are you doing. This is my house, you forcibly broke into the house! ”
Li Qiaofen was about to tear her throat and shout, but she was glared at by Teng Niang: "Mother, what do you mean by Uncle Shun?" What do you want to do with Erya? ”
Uncle Shun's words made Teng Niang string up the abnormalities of the night, and she realized at this time that it seemed that her mother-in-law wanted to break her up and leave Erya behind. And his husband Li Liming must also be an insider.
"What do you mean! Listen to this old man's nonsense! ”
"Am I talking nonsense?" Uncle Shun couldn't hide his anger when he heard it, it was originally someone else's housework, and it was already a broken rule for him to interfere. Now he really can't stand it anymore, he slammed the table, "I think it's your wolf heart!" ”
"Mother!" Teng Niang spoke coldly, without a trace of warmth in her words, "If you don't make it clear today, don't think about taking a penny from me in the future!" ”
Teng Niang's words hit Li Qiaofen's weakness, she has seen and listened to a lot in the capital over the years, and she has a little bit of the atmosphere and means of a rich and noble family. It's just that she usually has a gentle temperament and doesn't show it easily.
Li Qiaofen looked at her usually gentle daughter-in-law with an expression like an ice cube, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, "It's over......" She knows that today's incident is over, I'm afraid she can't hide it.
She glared at Uncle Shun hatefully, and snatched the copper coin string in Li Liming's hand, "Say whatever you say, isn't it just that a good person has taken a fancy to Erya and wants to buy her!" ”
