On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Zhou Youcai brought a wife, a concubine and three sons to the old house to pay New Year's greetings.

The festival of the third room was prepared long ago when he went to the county seat, and the general who gave the old man drunk, tobacco and tea; What was given to Zhang's was the cotton jacket and cotton hand-copy of the county's silk village; What was given to Yu Lanyue, Yu Lanhua, and Yu Lancao was a broken jade tassel earring; To Zhou Buyan, Zhou Buyu and Zhou Busui are three sets of scholars and four treasures.

Zhou Youcai looked at the four treasures of the study room for his son, pursed his mouth, touched the sparse mustache and said in a strange manner: "My son will be titled on the gold list in the future, the inkstone will use the Duan inkstone of Huijun, the paper will use the Yipin Jinnan rice paper of Fucheng, the paper will use the white jade carving town of Zhou Guo, and the pen will be a sable wolf with a wood." ”

Zhou Buyan and Zhou Buyu straightened their chests, just like Zhou Youcai, looking at Yu Sanguang and Lan Ya with disdain, and the curvature of the corners of their mouths was enough to trap a mung bean fly.

Yu Sanguang saw that the gift was not liked by the other party, and he was disgusted that things were worthless, and his face was swollen red.

Lan Ya stretched out her big hand, took the three sets of study and four treasures into her arms, and smiled at Zhou Youcai as if innocently: "Since my brother-in-law doesn't like it, then send it back to Lan Ya as a gift, anyway, my aunt didn't prepare a gift for Lan Ya, and Lan Ya was very happy to receive this gift." ”

Without waiting for Zhou Youcai to agree, he handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Lu Liu with a smile, and playfully stuck out his tongue and winked at Zhou Buyan and Zhou Buyu's brothers, no longer looking at Zhou Youcai's mournful face, and walked out of the house with a calm demeanor, and went to Zhang's side house to listen to the women's narration.

"Lose money, you, how did you get it back? Do you regret giving something? Can still be frustrated back?? Zhou Buyan shouted angrily.

Zhou Youcai coughed lightly in anger, Zhou Buyan and Zhou Buyu are not young, but they have read the sage books for so many years in vain, and they speak without their brains, and they are always a little less interesting than clever children.

Zhou Busui is better, but he is also a sincere child, Zhou Youcai wants to train a clever person to inherit the family property, but always fails to do so, fortunately, Yu Caihe is now pregnant, and there are three or four months to give birth, Zhou Youcai is looking forward to a child, preferably as calculating as himself, and will inherit his mantle in the future.

Zhou Youcai couldn't sprinkle his anger on his son, and finally aimed his fire at Yu Sanguang, and said with a displeased face: "Third brother, if you don't want to buy a Boxing gift, I won't pick your gift, but what does Lan Ya mean by this?" Who did you show your face to? Because of the potato incident, I lost thousands of taels of silver, and I said that Lan Ya has a 'no' word? said that there was business with the Wang family, where is the business? I can't even hand it over!! ”

Yu Sanguang's face turned red and said: "Yes, it's my fault, I'll go and ask the four treasures of the study for a while, although the things are not the best, let's practice words on weekdays." ”

Zhou Youcai waved his hand unhappily and said: "It's not that I said you, third brother, men are the sky, women are the earth, and even the wives and daughters in the family can't discipline and can't be the master, what face does it have to gain a foothold in the village and be a dignitary in front of people?" Do you think which one dares to make a mistake in front of me? Look at your house again, you can't be the master of buying high-quality or low-grade pen and ink?! ”

Xu is Zhou Youcai was so angry that his beard was curled up one after another, a bit like a ruthless toad, his cheeks bulged one after another like a wind box, and his words were like a steel knife swept towards Yu Sanguang, shaved Yu Sanguang's body incompletely, and his face almost touched the ground.

How much money is stored at home, Yu Sanguang does not know;

How much dividends are distributed at home every month, Yu Sanguang doesn't know;

He didn't even know which family he gave a gift or what he gave during the New Year.

Although Zhou Youcai's words were rough, they pierced Yu Sanguang's heart, dripping blood, and he couldn't stop it, he was like an outsider and a fool, Lan Ya was in charge of everything, arranging everything, and the Hai Gang was calling Zhang Luo everything.

Yu Sanguang's face sank, and he said firmly: "Brother-in-law, I promise you that I will definitely get you a high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone fifteen years ago." ”

Lan Ya didn't know that her revenge was used by Zhou Youcai, which aroused the machismo in Yu Sanguang's bones, and listened to the women in the Westinghouse leisurely.

Yu Caihe has been pregnant for five or six months, the big belly is like a big basin, this is the pride of Yu Caihe, but also the guarantee of Yu Caihe's future life, naturally add twelve points of caution, even if there is a little girl to support, she always uses the palm of her hand to stroke the circle on the pointed belly, the face is always full of happiness, and the next person is even more pleasant and arrogant.

Zhang's carefully let his daughter go to the hot kang, and Caihe swept the kang with a handkerchief, obviously clean as new, but still pouted and said: "Mother, there is too much ash, I don't sit." ”

Zhang quickly wiped a small Mazha on the ground, and helped Caihe to sit down, Caihe pouted again: "Mother, Xiaomazha is too short, and the panic of sitting in the nest should be uncomfortable." ”

Wanguan is the nickname that Yu Caihe gave to the child in her womb, and she placed all her expectations for her "son" - "Wanguan with her waist" and inherited all the family wealth of the old Zhou family in the future.

Lan Ya is secretly funny, if she gives birth to a daughter named "Wanguan", it is really a proper sense of immediacy of a chartered mother-in-law.

Lan Ya happened to be smiling, only to see Cai He arrogantly looking at the makeshift wooden bench that Lan Ya and Hai were sitting on and said, "Mother, I sit on this, just not to nest my stomach." ”

Lan Ya frowned, hesitated and said to Cai He: "Sister-in-law, this is a temporary wooden slat, you are pregnant, it is dangerous to sit." ”

Yu Caihe's eyes stood and said: "You just have an opinion about me, and you can't see me well." ”

Lan Ya shook her head speechlessly, stood up with the Hai Clan, pointed to the blank long stool and said, "It's all up to you, don't pull out grievances at every turn." ”

Yu Caihe's eyes flickered, twisted his bulky waist, his ass sank, and he sat on the wooden slats all of a sudden.

The wooden slats are moving, Yu Caihe's buttocks are heavy, and they twist and twist, the wooden slats are displaced, and they turn over, and Yu Caihe's butt falls to the ground.

said that it was too late, and then quickly, Lan Ya's body was like a snake and a rat, and she got under Yu Caihe's body, and firmly supported her waist with both hands.

The plank flipped off, and a barb of the plank slashed through Lan Ya's arm, cutting an entire blood groove.

Jiang hurriedly helped Yu Caihe up, and Yu Caihe exaggeratedly covered his stomach and screamed, almost stunned.

Zhang's rushed to Lan Ya like crazy, came up with a slap, and scolded: "You are a broom star, you won't be able to live in peace during the New Year, you don't harm adults enough, and now you have to harm children." ”

Hai stubbornly protected Lan Ya, and said angrily: "Mother, it's Cai He who insists on sitting on wooden slats, and you don't stop you, now that something has happened, how can you blame Lan Ya, besides, if Lan Ya didn't save Cai He, can Cai He's child still be saved?" ”

Zhang's eyes stood when she heard this, and she scratched and beat Hai's again, her fingernails scraped her clothes, and she chopped, so painful that she stopped, pointed at Hai's and scolded: "You vicious mother's skin!" You want to curse the kid too, don't you? This is the delicate young master of the old Zhou family, how can you harm if you want to, Lan Yue, go find your third uncle, I will let him divorce this vicious woman. ”

Hai has been hugging and protecting Lan Ya, his back was beaten several times by Zhang's and scratched several times, with a thick grievance and worry on his face, Lan Ya smiled comfortingly: "Mother, it's okay, Dad is a sensible person, and he will definitely stand up for you and me." ”

Lan Ya was firm in her mouth, her face was stable, but she was apprehensive in her heart, to be honest, she really didn't have much confidence in whether Sanguang could maintain her and the Hai family, Yu Sanguang in the past had too weak personality; The current Yu Sanguang is too uncertain, which makes Lan Ya feel insecure.

Yu Sanguang was invited to the side house, looking at Yu Caihe, who was raining pear blossoms and shouting about abdominal pain, thinking of the confrontation between Lan Ya and Zhou Youcai just now, his face became more and more heavy.

Lan Ya felt a strong uneasiness rise in her heart, stopped in front of Hai's family, and explained calmly: "Dad, it was my sister-in-law who fell down by herself......"

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Lan Ya was petrified in the center of the house, Hai pulled Lan Ya distressedly, and said angrily: "Yu Sanguang, are you crazy?" ”

There was another "pop" sound, and Hai's face was once again printed with red and swollen palm prints.

People, sure enough, can't expect too much.

When the third slap fell, Lan Ya blocked Yu Sanguang's arm with her wrist, and said with a gloomy face: "Dad, you promised me and my mother that you would protect us thoroughly, and that's how you maintain it?" Don't ask about the indiscriminate? ”

Tears fell one by one, and the eyes were full of despair and vicissitudes;

The little arm that pulled Yu Sanguang's arm, the flesh of the wound turned over, and the blood flowed more due to the excessive force.

Yu Sanguang's eyes shrank, this was the first time he had seen such a desperate Lan Ya, this kind of vision he had experienced, at the beginning of spring, when the Zhang family drove Sanfang and wanted to cause Lan Ya to die, he also looked at Zhang with such eyes, despair, and, no thought of life.

Yu Sanguang shrank his head, Lan Ya was even more disappointed, he, his father who was full of dependence, didn't even have the courage to ask the reason or admit his mistake.

Lan Ya took out the dagger, picked out the wooden thorn in his arm, took out a handkerchief, and after a simple bandage, he glanced at Yu Caihe coldly and said: "Yu Caihe, people are not good for a hundred days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days." You'd better pray that Zhou Youcai will be good to you for the rest of your life, and don't take another concubine to disgust you. ”

Yu Cailian, who had been sitting on the kang without speaking, looked at Yu Caihe with pity, and the corners of her mouth were full of schadenfreude.

Lan Ya looked coldly at the Yu family who were united at this time, felt that her heart was as cold as ice, and she turned around and stepped into the snowy curtain of snow.

Hai wiped away his tears, wrapped Dalin's body tightly, turned around and pushed open the door, Zhang said in a sharp voice: "It's about to cook, where are you going?" ”

Hai Shi looked at Zhang Shi coldly, and then looked at Yu Sanguang Dao: "As my mother said, my Hai Donghua is a vicious woman, you are not afraid of eating poisonous mushrooms when you eat the food I cook?" I gave my sister-in-law a bad stomach, I can't bear the responsibility of murdering the delicate young master of the Zhou family, my mother should do it herself. ”

After speaking, he said to Lan Xiang, Lan Duo and Lan Ya: "We are money-losing goods, don't stay here and be an eyesore." ”

Lan Xiang, Lan Duo, and Lan Ya silently followed behind Hai's, and Lan Ya looked at Yu Sanguang anxiously, tears flashing in her crystal eyes.
