Chapter 35: Losing Face
The woman was none other than Zhao, who had eaten two large bowls of cold skin yesterday, and in retrospect, she now felt a pain in her back molars, and she couldn't wait to shrink herself to reduce her sense of existence.
Her small movements fell in Chu Yan's eyes, and she suddenly felt interesting, but will things pass so easily?
I only heard Chu Yan's crisp voice sound: "Aunt Zhao, do you still come to the house to eat cold skin today?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao was so frightened that his heart trembled, "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first." ”
As he spoke, he was about to slip away.
Everyone is wondering why the Zhao family is so abnormal today, doesn't he like to join in the fun on weekdays?
I only heard Chu Yan continue: "Since that aunt doesn't go to eat at home, don't forget to give the food money of Bawen Qian when you go back!" ”
What's going on? A group of people don't know why, look at Chu Yan, look at the Zhao family.
This Zhao family's unstoppable appearance, how could Chu Yan deduct the copper plate from her hand?
"Da Zhuang's family, why does the Zhao family owe you money?" Someone smelled the gossip and asked with a curious face.
Other people also reacted and discussed: "Yes, tell me, what's the matter?" ”
There is something even better to block Zhao's way: "Yongsheng mother, don't be in a hurry to go, tell me, why do you owe money." ”
Zhao's face turned red, and he stiffened his neck and refused to admit it: "How can I owe money?" How can I owe money? It's all her nonsense. ”
The more she spoke, the more confident she became, as if what she said was true.
That's right, Zhao slapped her head suddenly, she ate cold skin at that time, and no one else saw it to testify, so she didn't admit it.
After twisting this bend in his heart, Zhao suddenly became arrogant.
I saw her rushing to Chu Yan: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I owe you money?" Ruined my reputation, and I had to find the village chief to evaluate and judge when I went back. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yan was dumbfounded, and Zhao was refreshing her perception of the wonderful best.
"Alas!" I only heard Chu Yan sigh, "Auntie, since you don't want to say it, forget it, you don't owe me money, maybe I remembered it wrong." ”
The more Chu Yan's tone became lower, and the more aggrieved her face became.
Everyone felt that this was not a simple matter.
Otherwise, how could this little daughter-in-law of the Da Zhuang family look aggrieved, everyone knows the character of the Zhao family, and she will definitely not suffer.
The Zhao family was still proud of her cleverness and wit, as long as she didn't admit it, Chu Yan couldn't help her.
Who knew that the crowd of spectators were unwilling to let go of the gossip that they had finally heard, and they would not let Zhao leave.
On weekdays, Zhao's nostrils are facing the sky, arrogant and domineering, and naturally there are people who don't deal with her, and they seize the opportunity to live or die and not let her go.
There was even a tall and thin woman's voice raised: "Da Zhuang's family, don't be afraid, if you have something to say, we will call the shots for you!" ”
Zhao was suddenly unhappy: "I said that the second child's family, you have nothing to do, what is the matter with you?" ”
It turned out that the person who spoke was Zhao's concubine, the second brother and daughter-in-law Pei, who didn't deal with it when they were young, and when they were old, they each had their own children and grandchildren, and still no one looked down on anyone.
When he was young, the Zhao family relied on being the daughter-in-law of the long house, and bullied the Pei family a lot.
Now as long as the Pei family finds an opportunity, he wants to step on the Zhao family a few times, so he looks like he is supporting Chu Yan, but in fact, it is purely to take revenge on the Zhao family.
Chu Yan lowered her head slightly and whispered: "No, no, in fact, Aunt Zhao wants to eat the cold skin I made, the villagers, I don't plan to ask for money, but the aunt is ......."
When Chu Yan said this, she didn't want to say more, which immediately caused everyone's infinite reverie.
After finishing speaking, Chu Yan seemed to regret a little: "Ah, don't guess, in fact, there is nothing, auntie, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, you don't owe me any money, really not." ”
The more Chu Yan helped explain, the more the big guy didn't believe the Zhao family.
Some people speculate that the Zhao family went to someone else to rob him, Chu Yan doesn't look very powerful, in fact, he is a young paper tiger, how can he compare to the Zhao family's pungency.
Some people say that the three members of the Wang family are doing business, and the Zhao family must have wanted to eat, saying that they would pay others, but in the end they refused to admit it.
Some people also think that the Zhao family is greedy for the secret recipe of the Wang family and wants to get it away secretly, so they have this moth.
......
Not to mention, there are really some people who guess the truth.
Wang Laoshi, a man, naturally didn't want to interject in the discussion of women, and urged Chu Yan on the side: "We have to hurry up and return the ox cart to the village chief." ”
Chu Yan hurriedly apologized to everyone: "Aunts and sisters-in-law, I'm sorry, the ox cart was borrowed from the village chief's uncle, I have to return it quickly, I can't talk with you, you are busy." ”
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, don't be embarrassed!"
"That's it, it's not easy for a man to be at home, it's so pitiful that the old Ishida clan is still running around at such an old age."
"It's a pity, some people just like to bully poor people." Pei shook his head, glanced at Zhao with disdain, and left triumphantly.
Anyway, no matter what the result is, Zhao's face is lost.
Speaking of Tian's family, she was only happy: "Chu Yan, your few words made the Zhao family lose face, so do we still want the money?" ”
Chu Yan said just now that she didn't want that eight pennies, although she didn't miss a few pennies now, she was still a little distressed.
Chu Yan smiled: "Mother, don't you think it's better to don't want this money?" In the future, she will never dare to come to us to inquire about the recipe for Liangpi. ”
Sometimes, an appropriate show of weakness can make public opinion stand on her side, and Chu Yan thinks so.
If she and the Zhao family scolded and even had a fight, it would not be as effective as the discussion and contempt of the villagers.
Tian thought for a while and figured out the truth, but he thought it was really good.
Eight pennies, can make the face comparable to the city wall, thick nostrils to the sky, the high-spirited Zhao family's gray face, worth it!
As she spoke, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
While talking, the carriage arrived at home, the three of them unloaded the cart, and Wang Laoshi went to return the ox cart, carrying two boxes of pastries, which were bought at the pastry shop in the town.
Let's talk about the Zhao family, today Chu Yan made her, who has always boasted that she was different from those women in the village, lose face, not to mention how angry she was.
When I returned home, it was not pleasing to anyone, the head of the old man's family was a bull temper, she naturally didn't dare to provoke her, and several daughters-in-law and children suffered.
The first of them is Wang Yongsheng's daughter-in-law Feng.
"It's not the boss's business, let me go to the Wang family to find out the secret recipe, take a look, what it looks like now." She chattered for a long time, and scolded Feng Shi for being a bloody dog.
"Don't think I don't know that you are a man with many eyes, don't talk about hiding your private money, ask the boss to find me and let me go, why don't you go, you thief?"
Zhao's fingers almost pointed at Feng's nose.
At night, Feng scolded Zhao, an old pious woman, countless times before she fell asleep unwillingly.
