Chapter 4: Jealousy
Liu Meihua shouted in a loud voice, and Zhang's mother, who was originally cooking breakfast in the kitchen, suddenly looked unsightly, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
She pursed her mouth tightly, glanced at her eldest son Zhang Chenyi, who helped her light the fire, and stopped talking a little.
Zhang Chenyi's mother, named Wang Xiaolian, is down-to-earth and hardworking, has a soft temperament, and can't speak the east and west, so she is often squeezed by this sister-in-law and is speechless, and she suffers every time, which is commonly known as 'bun' temperament.
Wang Xiaolian knows that this daughter-in-law is good-looking, not to mention, she is still angry, has a high vision, and looks down on their family, so she is also prepared.
Originally, she thought that it was normal to look down on it, this family business was indeed high for them, as long as Chen Xiangqin did her duty, she could live with his son in peace of mind, marry and go home to take care of more, even if she was a mother-in-law to serve her daughter-in-law, she had no opinion.
However, Chen Xiangqin can't even talk about her duty, at yesterday's wedding, she was reluctant to kowtow to her and her wife at first, although she was finally dragged by her son to kowtow, but this matter has already made trouble, and this face has been lost.
Because of this, she and her wife were angry and worried, and they didn't sleep in the middle of the night.
In order to marry Chen Xiangqin back, not counting anything else, the bride price alone cost a small 1,000, this amount, as soon as it spreads, it is staggering, this daughter-in-law is really expensive!
At this time, even if you are a worker, your salary is only thirty or forty yuan, let alone a farmer.
This thousand dollars is a huge amount of money!
The Zhang family couldn't get together a thousand yuan when they took out all their family funds, of which 600 yuan was borrowed.
owes a lot of debts, and marries a daughter-in-law who makes such a fuss, can you not be sad!
When Zhang Chenyi heard the words of the eldest aunt, his face also sank, and when he saw his mother's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he still didn't understand anything, so he said,
"Mom, Xiangqin, she's up. Rest assured, she won't make a fuss. ”
Wang Xiaolian sighed, she really regretted marrying Chen Xiangqin into the door, but she also knew that her son liked it.
She didn't fall asleep yesterday, and vaguely heard the movement of her son's room last night, but after most of the night, this morning, he was even more busy brushing wooden barrels and boiling water, obviously for his daughter-in-law to bathe.
Wang Xiaolian felt that there was no man in the village who could love his daughter-in-law like her son.
Since her son said so, Wang Xiaolian couldn't say anything unpleasant and mean, so she had to whisper,
"You can just think it's good, when you finish your vacation, let her follow you to the army when the time comes, and Mom doesn't care."
I can't manage it.
While the two were talking, Liu Meihua had already come to the kitchen, leaning against the door, and continued in a weird manner,
"Yo, the second one, you cook by yourself. This meal on the first day of the wedding should not be made by your daughter-in-law to honor you! You see, where did you marry a daughter-in-law, you simply married an ancestor and came back! I didn't give face at the wedding banquet yesterday, and I slept lazy on the first day of marriage this day, except for being a little handsome, it was really useless. Yesterday she made our Zhang family lose such a big face, if it were me, I would have beaten her back to her parents' house a long time ago! ”
"Auntie, this is my family's business!" Zhang Chenyi's face turned cold, his eyes looked at her sharply, and he said in a deep voice.
Liu Meihua's heart was tightened by his eyes, and she was a little scared, and she was scared back when it came to her mouth.
However, after this inexplicable chill faded, her face became even more ugly, and as soon as her voice opened, she slapped her thigh with her hand, and began to howl.
"What's your business! You don't have the surname Zhang! Don't think that after going out as a soldier for a few years and becoming a deputy platoon commander or something, it's not you who will come back with five or six people! Although your grandfather split up when he died, your father and my man are brothers, and I am also your aunt! You just give me a look on your face, you conscienceless! ”
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Yi didn't show you a face, he is just a child's house, he can't speak, don't worry about him." Wang Xiaolian looked dumbfounded, walked up to Liu Meihua, tugged at her sleeve, and didn't want to be with the mud in a loud voice.
"What a child! I've all married daughters-in-law, and I'm still young! Liu Meihua shook her off, pointed at Zhang Chenyi and continued,
"Look at what kind of woman you marry and don't know how to do anything, you know that you don't honor your in-laws when you eat and drink. Even your daughter-in-law, it's a shame to marry back......"
In the past, she didn't say that, at that time, she wished that Chen Xiangqin would marry her son in the end, and after a few quarrels with Old Man Zhang, there was no result. She went to Chen Xiangqin's house to talk about it, but was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Xiangqin's grandfather.
At that time, Grandpa Chen said that he looked down on her son, and he took a fancy to Zhang Chenyi!
At this time, Liu Meihua annoyed Zhang Chenyi, and even hated it.
She never liked this nephew Zhang Chenyi, because when Zhang Chenyi was born, she didn't give birth to a son, she only had a daughter who was more than two years old.
She married into the Zhang family early, but the eldest grandson of the Zhang family was not born from her belly, and there was still a broken mouth at that time, saying that she couldn't give birth to a son, which really angered her.
A year later, she became pregnant and gave birth to her son Zhang Hongtao, thinking that she was finally raising her eyebrows, but now no one said that she couldn't have a son.
However, this child is about the same age, and they are all cousins, so this is indispensable to make comparisons.
Especially Liu Meihua, she is a person who likes to be calculating and comparing.
However, the problem lies in his son, no matter how he compares it, he is not as good as Zhang Chenyi.
In terms of appearance, Zhang Chenyi has been handsome since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is even more upright and handsome, if he is not married, many girls want to marry him, although Zhang Hongtao is not ugly, but he really can't compare to him.
In terms of talent, Zhang Chenyi is very smart, after going to school, he studies well, he is the first in age every time, if it weren't for his poor family and his younger siblings later, he would not choose to be a soldier, but would have taken the university entrance examination.
As for other aspects, Zhang Chenyi is more liked by Grandpa Zhang, and he wants to leave him with any good things, no, it is also his to set a doll kiss.
No matter what it is compared to, Zhang Hongtao can't compare, can Liu Meihua not be annoyed, can he not be angry, just like that, he also hated Zhang Chenyi.
