Chapter 21 Fire before and after
Ruojun walked quickly, her heart couldn't stop beating violently, she was on the run, she wanted to quickly escape from the dining room full of * smell, she wanted to escape from the strict mother-in-law, and she also wanted to escape from Ruikang, who made her feel oppressed from time to time.
But she didn't know where to run? She didn't want to go to the study to face the expressionless, numb and boring Ryan, although she had to go, she suddenly found that it was the entire Zhou family that she wanted to escape. Mother Zhao trotted after her, a little out of breath, and couldn't help shouting: "Grandma, slow down, slow down......"
After shouting several times, Mei Ruojun came to her senses, stopped, looked back at the panting Mother Zhao, she was very upset, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the basket, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Mother Zhao, I'll take it." β
Mother Zhao calmed down and said, "Grandma, it's okay, it's useless because I'm old." β
Mei Ruojun shook her head, holding the basket in one hand and supporting Zhao's mother in the other, she never felt that she was a young grandmother, she knew that she had no noble background, and she was not uncommon to do anything about young grandmothers, young ladies and wives, so she never regarded Cuiliu, Zhao's mother and others as subordinates, she felt that she was no different from them in her heart, the work they do, she also does it every day at home, and even does more.
Mother Zhao looked at her depressed, her face was sad, she sighed unconsciously, and said, "Grandma, do you have something on your mind?" β
Mei Ruojun sighed lightly and said, "I'm just worried about my father's condition and want to go back and see." β
Zhao's mother said: "You have been married to the Zhou family for almost three months, and it is normal for you to be homesick, why don't you talk to your wife tomorrow?" β
A helpless smile rose at the corner of Mei Ruojun's mouth, and she shook her head and said, "My mother won't agree." β
Mother Zhao sighed heavily, shook her head and said, "I don't know what's wrong with my wife, I've been with her for almost thirty years, and I've never seen her so strict as she is now." β
Mei Ruojun stopped talking, the two came to the study, Ryan was flipping through some books on the bookshelf, and Zhao's mother stepped forward and smiled: "Young Master, Grandma is here to eat with you." β
Ryan stopped, turned around, twisted his eyebrows to look at Zhao's mother, was stunned for a while, then looked up and stared at Ruojun, stared for a while, as if he was thinking about something, Ruojun didn't know why he was staring at himself like this, thinking, did he make him angry again? Is he dissatisfied with himself again? Or did his condition relapse, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, not knowing what he would do next.
She stood at the door in a daze, involuntarily remembering the night before the three dynasties returned to the door, and remembered the scene by the stable, the scars on her hands had not faded, and now his eyes showed inexplicable anger, which made her shudder involuntarily, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat, Zhao's mother didn't know what was wrong with Ryan, after a while, Ryan's eyes suddenly turned to the basket in Ruojun's hand, look at the basket, look at Ruojun, look at Ruojun and look at the basket, the left half of his body twitched, limping towards Mei Ruojun on crutches.
Mother Zhao's heart sank, but she was afraid that something would happen again, so she hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Young Master, what are you going to do?" Sit down, Mother Zhao will serve you and your grandmother to eat. As he spoke, he beckoned to Mei Ruojun and motioned for her to bring the basket box.
But at this time, where did Mei Ruojun still have the appetite to eat, she couldn't help but tremble all over, but she had to walk forward step by step, and after only two steps, Zhou Ruian suddenly shook off Zhao's mother's hand and rushed up quickly.
The muscles on his face kept twitching, his eyes were open, but he kept blinking, the corners of his mouth opened and closed strangely, and Mei Ruojun retreated to the door in fright.
Zhou Ruian looked at her deadly, and suddenly snatched the basket box containing the food from her hand, opened the door with a "brush--" sound, and threw the basket box out with a flick of his hand.
Zhou Ruian turned his head to look at Mei Ruojun, who was already frightened, and grabbed her arm again, as if throwing a basket box, and threw her out of the study, Mei Ruojun's head was blank, and he couldn't react at all.
Mother Zhao hurriedly came out to help her, Zhou Ruian didn't even look at them, turned around and closed the door of the study heavily.
Mother Zhao said with tears of sadness while helping Ruojun: "What's the matter, how can this happen?" Are you alright? β
Mei Ruojun gritted her teeth, endured the pain and slowly stood up, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, don't tell my father." You hurry up and quietly clean up this place, I'll go to the kitchen and make some more food, and you can take it to Ryan later, and I won't go in." β
Mother Zhao choked up and said, "Grandma Zhao, look at you, you have fallen like this, you have to go to your wife's house to copy the scriptures later, you better go and change your clothes." Madame is almost done eating, go quickly, cough ......."
Mei Ruojun was in a dilemma, and suddenly heard a voice from behind the shadow of the tree in the yard, "Ouchβwhat is this?" As soon as she heard the voice, she knew that it was Cuiliu, she hurried away, stepped on the lid of the bowl that had just rolled out of the basket, and her feet hurt and she cried out.
Cuiliu picked up the bowl lid and walked up the road, seeing the mess of food in one place, and seeing Mei Ruojun's loose hair and dirty clothes, Zhao's mother wiped her tears on the side, and stepped forward to ask, "Grandma, what's wrong?" β
Mei Ruojun hurriedly shook her head, Mother Zhao just sobbed and waved her hand, Cuiliu is a careful person, and she guessed seven or eight points in a turn of her brain, shook her head and stomped her feet, frowned, and complained in her mouth: "That head is on fire, this head is smoking, what is wrong with this family?" β
Mei Ruojun saw her anxious and troubled, thinking that there was something else, and hurriedly asked, "Cuiliu, what happened?" What is on fire, smoking? What are you going to do in such a hurry? β
Cuiliu frowned, pointed to the front yard, and said, "Listen to yourself, the front yard has already quarreled, the old man is angry, let me go to Yilan Xiaozhu to get the family law." β
"What?!" Mei Ruojun was shocked, listened to it closely, and sure enough, there was a sound of ping-pong and throwing things from the front yard, mixed with the roar of Master Zhou and the roar of Ruikang, Mei Ruojun forgot the pain on her body, and hurriedly pulled Cuiliu to open her eyes and asked, "Why do you want to take the family law?" β
Cuiliu hurriedly said: "Oh, the master and the wife have set up a family affair for the second young master, and the second young master doesn't know why he quarreled with the old lady, and the master is ruthless and wants to beat the second young master with family methods!" I can't afford to delay any longer, or I'll be beaten." Said that he hurriedly walked to Yilan Xiaozhu.
Ruikang is going to be beaten? He's going to be beaten? Just because his parents set him a family affair, oh my God, Mei Ruojun was stunned in place, her heart was hesitant, her heart was sour, her mind was confused, and she couldn't think of anything at all.
Cuiliu walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back again, with a mysterious look of embarrassment on her face, hesitated for a moment, smashed her mouth, and said, "Grandma, if you are for the good of the second young master, don't go to the front yard." After speaking, he looked at Mei Ruojun meaningfully, turned around and trotted into Yilan Xiaozhu.

"You rebel, what did you just say? We don't respect you? Are we the makers of tragedy? Are we the executioners who kill happiness? You dare to use such words to describe your parents, do you still have a king's law? Old Man Zhou slapped the table angrily, pointed to Ruikang who was kneeling on the ground and said loudly: "We gave birth to you and raised you, this is how you describe us and repay us?" You're so presumptuous. β
Mrs. Zhou sat on the side, frowning and sighing.
Zhou Ruikang knelt on the ground but looked unconvinced. Master Zhou continued to say angrily: "I don't understand, what's wrong with this family? You and Jiaqi are classmates, they have known each other for a long time, and Zhou Cheng's two families are of the same rank, why are you described as rotten, immoral, and inhumane? β
Zhou Ruikang retorted: "A marriage without love is rotten and immoral, father, mother, Jiaqi and I are classmates, friends, and even partners, comrades-in-arms, and confidants, but there is no love between us." β
"Love? What is love? You describe it to me, you explain it to me, the 'happy executioner'! Master Zhou asked angrily: "I tell you, your mother and I are the order of our parents, the matchmaker's words, on the night of marriage, we met for the first time, we have been loving and loving all our lives, smooth and smooth, respectful of each other, and living very well." I don't know what you mean by love, can your so-called love make your future marriage happier than ours? β
"Dad, that's your and mother's luck, you happen to be the one you like each other, but I'm not necessarily as lucky as you, especially since I've known Jiaqi for so long, if I have that heart for her, do I have to wait for you to propose to me?" Ruikang retorted urgently.
"Shut up! It's really more and more unlikely, I can't understand our parents' hearts at all, let me tell you, the Cheng family has agreed to the family affair, this family affair has been decided, you have to marry, you have to marry, you have to marry! Master Zhou was still angry, and he didn't want to argue with his son anymore.
At this time, Cuiliu came to the door with the "family law" in her hand, and looked inside, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly gave her a look, signaling her not to come in first, Cuiliu nodded and stood in the dark outside the door.
Ruikang still refused to bow his head and said, "Your hard work has almost driven the eldest brother crazy, and what kind of life Ruojun is living, can't you see?" Or do you think they're happy and happy? Now you want to drive me crazy again, so that Jiaqi also washes her face with tears every day? β¦β¦ It's not just rotten, it's cruel! Ruikang also became more and more excited, and his voice increased, and before his words fell, Master Zhou had already rushed up, and raised his hand to "Smack!" A slap in the face hit Ruikang hard.
"Sir!" Mrs. Zhou exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to check if her son was injured again, although she was stubborn and stubborn, but he was her masterpiece, her pride, her glory, she couldn't stand anyone destroying her perfect work, not even her own husband.
Looking at the five finger prints floating on Ruikan's face, Mrs. Zhou's heart was like a knife, and she knelt down and said: "Master, Ruikang is not sensible, you can dissipate your anger, you can scold him as much as you want, but don't do it." Ryan is already like that, we only have him, you must not break him. β
