Chapter 160: Shumei is not doing well
"Mother, when did you celebrate your birthday, I don't seem to have seen you before." Su Yuyan asked with concern.
Yang said: "What kind of birthday do the countrymen have! What a good man that must be! Since I was born, I don't remember that I had a birthday, but the country people are like that, and I don't have anything to complain about. But this year I am going to celebrate my fiftieth birthday, and my two sons have not said a word of greeting, and my heart is cold! ”
Su Yuyan comforted the Yang family: "Xu is the eldest brother and the second brother forgot, don't blame them, after all, this infrequent birthday will indeed make people unrememberable." I used to help my mother celebrate her birthday every year, but I forgot about it last year. But mother, I have been married into the Zhao family for a few years, and I have never helped you celebrate your birthday, and I feel a little guilty in my heart, your fiftieth birthday this year, then you must celebrate it well! ”
Yang waved his hand: "My wife doesn't like these vain, you are the same age as your father-in-law, you just do it for him." It stands to reason that men are making wine for the New Year, and women are only over the age of the elderly, but wasn't the price of rice suddenly depressed last year? Everyone is worried, and your father-in-law won't let me tell me about it, so as not to make trouble. But it doesn't matter if you do wine or not, we are old, what we want is a filial piety, we know the filial piety of you and San Lang, I and your father-in-law can live a good life, it is all thanks to your blessings, but those two sons are raised in vain. ”
Su Yuyan didn't know what to say, so she had to inform Zhao Linxian about it at night, Zhao Linxian pondered, his father and mother were indeed fifty years old, and he actually forgot about it, patted his head, and said that let Su Yuyan have a snack, and he will give his father a big birthday this year.
This is also reasonable, Su Yuyan has no reason not to agree.
Spring is the busiest time for Zhao Linxian, all his heart is in the field, Su Yuyan is at ease to give birth, one day when I went to the street to buy things, I saw Mrs. Qian also buying some trinkets, but her face was gloomy. Su Yuyan stepped forward to say hello, and Mrs. Qian saw Su Yuyan holding the bamboo, and she liked it very much, so she hurriedly bought a silver bracelet for the bamboo.
Su Yuyan wanted to stop it, but Mrs. Qian had quickly put on the bamboo, and said, "I heard that the bamboo was not good a while ago, but now it is better." ”
"It's a lot better, and now it's beautiful." Su Yuyan thought that she hadn't written a letter to Shumei for a long time, thinking about Mrs. Qian's face now, thinking that it wouldn't be Shumei's fault!
Sure enough, seeing Su Yuyan ask about her daughter, Mrs. Qian asked Su Yuyan to go to the teahouse to drink tea together, Su Yuyan thought that Mrs. Qian should have something to say to herself, so she went to the teahouse with Mrs. Qian.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Qian could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart: "Shumei is really miserable!" At the beginning, I saw that although the Liang family was not a rich and noble family, but Liang Zhongcai was also a scholar, so Shumei was allowed to pass, who knew that the mother-in-law of the Liang family was not a good one to get along with, seeing that Shumei gave birth to two daughters in a row, and now she is making trouble with her son to take a concubine! Shumi is still in confinement! How do they say that? ”
"You mean, Shumi gave birth to a second child, which is also a good thing! Why does the Liang family not know how to be satisfied. ”
"It's a pity that both children are girls, although Shumei is still young and can be reborn, but the Liang family relies on Liang Zhong to be a showman, although the last time the examiner was not admitted, but there is still hope in the end. The Liang family's mother-in-law was unscrupulous because of this. ”
"What does Shumei's husband say!"
"I don't think I'm a caring lord, otherwise how could Shumei write to tell me! She's been afraid of annoying me since she was a child. To say that the surname Liang is Xiucai, and my husband is also Xiucai, why does his Liang family think that my family is beautiful and climbs his family, it's really ridiculous. ”
Su Yuyan also took pity on her close friend who had played since childhood: "No wonder Shumei has rarely communicated with me recently, she is probably sad!" ”
Mrs. Qian sighed: "That child is also arrogant on weekdays, but now she is at odds with her husband's family, how can she be willing to tell everyone, she is knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood!" This time, Ken told me that he probably couldn't hold it anymore, and the Liang family was really too deceitful. ”
"Then we have to go to the Liang family! Can't let the Liang family feel that there is no one behind Shumei, you and the master are both people who do their duty, and they must have not come to the door yet! ”
Mrs. Qian thought about it, it was true, she always felt that this woman would become a husband after she got married, and too much interference from her mother's family always affected the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Su Yuyan thought that she hadn't seen Shumei for a long time, so she proposed to go with the two elders.
Mrs. Qian thought about it and agreed, after all, the two girls grew up together, and Su Yuyan is still bold and can support her, and multiple people are also many strengths.
So Su Yuyan made an appointment with Mrs. Qian and went early the day after tomorrow.
Su Yuyan entrusted the bamboo to the Yang family and Zhao Laohan, saying that she was going to a neighboring town to visit a close friend.
The Yang family originally thought that Su Yuyan had a big belly! You should not move around, lest you hurt the fetus.
However, the little fairy of Zhuzi has already told the Yang family about the conversation between his mother and Mrs. Qian.
After hearing this, the Yang family also felt that this Liang family was not authentic! Although it is also human nature to favor sons over daughters, no matter what, you can't do such a thing as letting your son take a concubine in the daughter-in-law's confinement, not to mention that the daughter-in-law can still give birth, not to say that she can't give birth or get pregnant, so it's still in the past.
So Yang also agreed with Su Yuyan to go and see her good sister, but just told her to be careful.
Bamboo still wants to follow a piece: "Mother, take me there!" I protect you. ”
Su Yuyan touched his head: "When you are older, you will protect your mother, you are too young now, my mother only hopes that you are safe, you have to listen to grandma at home, you know?" Don't be naughty. ”
Zhuzi nodded, and asked again: "Mother, what is a concubine." ”
Su Yuyan really didn't expect her son to be curious about this issue.
Yang said on the side: "You forgot what your grandmother said to you, those who take concubines are not good people, concubines are a man who marries his wife and spends money. Heart-to-heart! It's really shameful to get a few more concubines back to the house, although our farmers are poor, but they have always lived a monogamous life, I really can't understand what kind of heart those who get a few concubines back. ”
Zhao Laohan was excited again when he saw the old woman talking, and reminded her: "Don't say it, you wait and prick the heart of the third daughter-in-law, and her father also married two concubines." ”
Yang waved his hand: "The third daughter-in-law is the third daughter-in-law, and her father is her father, it's not the same thing at all." ”
The Yang family couldn't get used to Su Rongchang's not being a day or two, if she caught an opportunity, she really wanted to scold him for breaking his head.
However, Su Yuyan really didn't have any ideas in her heart, and others scolded Su Rongchang, which was also a very happy thing for her.
Zhuzi still didn't understand it, and asked again: "Aren't the concubines good people?" ”
Yang nodded and told his grandson very clearly: "That's right, so no matter how big an official you are in the future, choose a good daughter-in-law, don't take a concubine, and live wholeheartedly." ”
Zhuzi looked confused: "But my grandfather's family also has a lot of daughters-in-law!" Grandpa is not a bad person. ”
This time it was Yang's turn to be confused, she really hadn't thought about this problem! I didn't know that Master Lu's family also had a lot of concubines.
Su Yuyan knew that although the Yang family was spicy, her views on this matter were correct, but she couldn't point fingers at others when it came to taking concubines, so she said: "You grandpa because you want a child!" He accepted a concubine, but he still has no children, so it can't be said that a concubine is a bad person, it depends on what the reason is! ”
When Yang heard this, he became enthusiastic: "Master Lu has married so many daughters-in-law and has no children, it must be Master Lu's own problem, this man can't have children, but it's a big deal, there are a few people in our village who can't have children before, but everyone has adopted them, and it can be regarded as a root." Do you say that Master Lu's family has a big business, he can't give birth, and he won't go to raise him? There is no one to pass on that business. ”
Zhao Laohan said: "You mother-in-law is really blind enough, she is a big man, she must have thought about everything, and she still needs you to talk about it." ”
Yang glared at Zhao Laohan: "You have a lot of words today, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”
"I just see that your heart is used in Fucheng, remind you."
Yang still rolled his eyes, and then ignored Zhao Laohan.
Zhao Linxian has slept in Dongzhuang Village in the past few days, so Su Yuyan did not deliberately let people tell Zhao Linxian that she went to a neighboring town.
On the appointed day, he went to the neighboring town with Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian.
The first time she went to visit Shumei, Su Yuyan prepared a lot of gifts, but she didn't want the people of the Liang family to look down on her.
Mrs. Qian looked at the things that Su Yuyan was carrying, and her nose was sour: "Look, I still let you break the bank." ”
Su Yuyan smiled: "You are still polite to me!" My mother and I have been ostracized since we were children, whether you and the master or Shumei do not dislike us, and help us from time to time, this kindness, I have always remembered, besides, this is not a very valuable thing. ”
Mrs. Qian was speechless, she thought she had found a good in-law for Shumei, and she thought that Su Yuyan's family business was wronged, but now she looks at her Shumei's life in her mother-in-law's house. Hot, Yu Yan is already a lady outside the staff.
Let's talk about this man's life! How to see it accurately!
It takes a few hours to go to the neighboring town, which should be about the same distance as Fucheng, but the road is not as good as going to Fucheng, so it takes longer. This Liang family is not a big gateway in the neighboring town, hidden in a deep alley, and by the time I arrived at the Liang family, it was already noon.
As soon as they entered the door, the Liang family was eating, and there were chickens and ducks on the table.
When Mrs. Liang saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law coming, she was still enthusiastic, put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to entertain her.
Mrs. Qian introduced that Su Yuyan was a close friend of Shumei's boudoir, so she was anxious to see her daughter.
When Mrs. Liang saw the things Su Yuyan brought, she also had a flattering smile on her face, and hurriedly wanted to pour tea for Su Yuyan.
