Chapter 38: False Intention to Please
During the day, Su Jiudong said before leaving that he would come to participate in the tomb sweeping tomorrow, and Su Dayou was excited for a night.
Thinking that this was Su Jiudong giving him an opportunity to get close to Wen Yiheng, he kept thinking about how to please Wen Yiheng tomorrow, and he was still chattering before going to bed.
"Are you really going to let Su Jiudong come to sweep the tomb?" Li suddenly jumped up.
"Just because her aunt has a housekeeper, she said she wanted to come, of course I can't refuse!"
"She's all separated! I am not qualified to come to our Su family to sweep the tomb! Yesterday, unifying her to worship her ancestors was already my lowest concession. No more! The Li family was reluctant to let Su Jiudong go with him, but yesterday Wen Hengliang made his brother's status as a jinshi very covetous.
Su Dayou was determined to curry favor with Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong, but the Li family was helpless.
"Woman's view! Long hair and short insight are you! ”
Su Dayou scolded the Li family loudly: "You only saw Jiu Dong'er clamoring to split up, why didn't you see the uncle with Jinshi's brother next to her?!"
People have an elder brother who is an official, and in the future, I am afraid that he will not worry about food and clothing, and enjoy endless wealth!
When people are on the rise, you can only stare at the one-third of an acre in front of you to live! Do you really plan to live on this little field for the rest of your life?! ”
"If we can serve the second family well and climb the high branch of Aunt Jiudong'er, the glory and wealth will come!
When the time comes, why don't you worry about food and clothing, others will be worried about our family's identity as an uncle who has official relatives, and even Ah Lian, a fool, will not worry about marrying! ”
Speaking of Su Xinglian, Su Dayou was angry. Su Xinglian is lazy to eat, and her eyes are high.
Su Dayou was helpless about this, and he didn't bother to correct her temperament, so he only thought about waiting for Su Xinglian to marry into her husband's family in the future, and then her husband's family would educate him.
"Really?! If you please the second aunt, Ah Lian's marriage can be resolved? ”
But Su Xinglian herself is not in a hurry, and stubbornly adheres to the line of focusing on the master and the low, thinking that others are vulgar and unworthy of her.
She wants to recruit handsome and talented men into the Su family, because Su Xinglian's marriage has always worried the Li family.
If it is really as Su Dayou said, it can solve the troublesome matter of Su Xinglian's marriage, of course the Li family is willing to change his attitude and repair the relationship with the second room.
"I don't think Jiu Dong'er is as bad as you say on weekdays! There are good things that are still thinking about us.
Yesterday was so ugly, I didn't see my uncle and I was so angry that I wanted to leave, and Ren Jiudong'er was willing to take my uncle to sweep the tomb and connect us with a bridge. She still has our Su family in her heart! ”
Su Dayou fantasized about the future wealth and a better life at his fingertips, and squinted his eyes with a happy smile.
But Li Shi was worried, "But I'm afraid that it's difficult to please the second room, right?" Since Jiu Dong'er was born, we haven't cared much about the second room.
Don't look at Jiu Dong'er's young age at that time, she was afraid of our indifference, she remembered it all. ”
"It's just that you usually do too much! For such a big matter as the separation of the family, she didn't discuss it with me, and she agreed to divide it indiscriminately!
also forced people to leave the house! Now when I meet people, they say that she is not our Su family, how ugly is this?!
If the second room hadn't been divided now, we would have been able to take care of Jiu Dong'er and Uncle a long time ago, why would we have to spend so much effort to please others! Idiot! ”
Li was scolded so much that he didn't dare to squeak, he lost the arrogance of the quarrel just now, and remembered the previous separation and regretted not being at the beginning.
When Su Jiudong was clamoring to split up, it happened that the man in the family was not there.
Su Jiudong used the identity of the river god's envoy to split up and force her to make a decision.
According to the situation at the time, Su Jiudong was useless to the Su family, and if he split the family, he could also reduce the expenses of the second room, of course, the sooner he broke off the relationship with her, the better, but he didn't know that a wrong decision that day caused today's bitter fruit.
"I'll prepare a good seat for the second room early tomorrow morning. And also...... Why don't I ask Ah Lian to apologize to Jiu Dong'er sooner?
Yesterday, Ah Lian provoked Jiu Dong'er, the two quarreled, and I also helped Ah Lian scold Jiu Dong'er. ”
"What? Did Ah Lian provoke first? Didn't you tell me that yesterday? At that time, did you avoid the important and lightly help Ah Lian speak, only to deduce that Jiu Dong'er disobeyed the discipline and scolded people?
I actually believed that it was Jiu Dong'er who picked the fight first, and arranged them to an off-the-beaten-path position...... What a foolish woman! ”
Su Dayou was angry and slapped Li viciously.
Li was beaten so that his face and body were crooked on the bed, and he only felt dizzy.
"I'm going to find that idiot right now! Make it clear to her! Tomorrow you have to give me peace and keep to yourself! No trouble! ”
Su Dayou angrily went to Su Xinglian to preach, and Li was worried that Su Dayou would beat and scold Su Xinglian at every turn, so he followed.
Su Xinglian was reprimanded by Su Dayou for a night, Li stayed aside and didn't dare to help, and the three of them couldn't sleep well after the night passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Yesterday's ancestor worship, the Su family was supposed to leave people to eat at home and sleep in the ancestral house at night, but because Su Jiudong and the three of them did not stay in the ancestral house yesterday, they had to get up early this morning.
Liu Yunniang got up early to call the others, and after entrusting Su Tingan and Ah Rong to Widow Li to take care of, the three of them headed towards the ancestral house.
The Su family had already waited outside the door of the ancestral house with Qi Xiang wax paper money and other things, Su Dayou stood at the front, stretched out his head and looked forward to seeing the arrival of the second room soon, and ordered everyone to wait for the arrival of the second room before leaving.
"Yo! Jiu Dong'er and Uncle are here! Su Dayou was the first to say hello, and he only had Wen Yiheng in his eyes, completely forgetting Liu Yunniang's existence.
Li Shi also reluctantly pretended to face Su Jiudong with a smile, but he couldn't hide the blue and black and tired look in his eyes.
Su Xinglian silently followed next to Su Dayou, lowering her head and not daring to look at Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng more.
Su Xiaoshan also stood at the front of the team in an unconventional spring green shirt, hoping that Wen Yiheng would notice her.
Wen Yiheng looked at the Su family in front of him, turned his head and smiled tacitly with Su Jiudong.
"I slept late last night, and I got up late today, so I made Mrs. Su wait for a long time." Su Jiudong ignored Su Dayou's enthusiasm and took Liu Yunniang's arm to keep up with the marching team. Wen Yiheng only responded coldly.
"Soon, soon. Jiu Dong'er and Uncle you arrived just in time, and we just gathered. ”
Su Dayou opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the Su family, who had been waiting in the cold spring wind for half an hour, silently complained about him in their hearts.
"Everyone! Let's go! Su Dayou led the team and led the group to the Su family cemetery.
The Su family cemetery was built on the mountainside, and it didn't take much effort for people to go up. The group repaired the grave and put incense on it, so they were not busy.
Su Dayou toasted the first glass of wine in front of the grave, glanced at Su Jiudong, poured another glass and handed it to Wen Yiheng, and said flatteringly: "Second uncle, this second glass of wine is up to you." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the Su family began to discuss. Su Xingping, the son of the Su family, stepped forward and made a gesture to grab the second glass of wine, "Daddy, I am the son of the Su family, and I should pay tribute to this second cup of wine." ”
The others nodded one after another, no matter how powerful Wen Yiheng was, he shouldn't be honored by his son-in-law.
Su Dayou slapped Su Xingping's outstretched hand aside, and as he spoke, he took a wine glass and stuffed it into Wen Yiheng's hand: "What are you anxious about?" Wait for the third cup!
The second cup is from the second uncle, don't grab it without skin and face...... Second uncle, forgive my eldest son for being stupid and unreasonable, this second cup is still up to you, haha. ”
Wen Yiheng deliberately looked at Su Jiudong, and Su Jiudong nodded in agreement. Wen Yiheng deliberately waited for Su Dayou to notice that he was obeying Su Jiudong's meaning, then he took the wine glass and toasted solemnly according to Su Dayou's actions just now.
Su Xingping glanced at Wen Yiheng angrily, hurriedly toasted the third glass of wine, and was glared at by Su Dayou.
After the toast, it is to offer food and fruits, burn paper to worship, bow three times and kowtow, kowtow and set off firecrackers, and finally bring the sacrifices back to the ancestral house for a feast and share the food with everyone.
Back in the ancestral house, Su Dayou arranged Su Jiudong, Wen Yiheng and Liu Yunniang to sit at the main table, and then he was relieved to preside over the cutting of the roast pig.
The Li family took Su Xinglian, who had been "invisible" since just now, to the main table to apologize to Su Jiudong.
"Jiu Dong'er, yesterday's incident was all a misunderstanding, your Aunt Lian is young and ignorant, Grandma brought her over to apologize to you. Be magnanimous, but don't take it to heart. ”
Li Shi greeted Su Jiudong with a smile attentively, and looked at Su Xinglian vigilantly, so that Su Xinglian hurriedly moved.
Hearing the three words "ignorant" said by the Li family, Su Jiudong was silent on the surface, and his eyes were eager to turn to the sky.
Su Xinglian, as the aunt of the original owner, is already in her twenties, almost ten years older than the original owner, and she is embarrassed to say that she is young and ignorant......
Li's This is completely the argument of the bear parents in modern society to argue for the children in their own family to get into trouble.
After the "ideological education" of Su Dayou and Li Shi's scolding and scaring all night, Su Xinglian understood that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and finally agreed to apologize to Su Jiudong.
Li Shi enlightened her and said that she should bow her head and admit her mistakes, so as to improve the bad impression left on Wen Yiheng yesterday, and only then will she have a chance to get close to Wen Yiheng again.
Su Jiudong was silent, and saw that Su Xinglian had been struggling in her heart for a long time before she finally spoke, and said awkwardly: "Jiudong'er, it was my aunt who was messing around yesterday, and I didn't mean to bully you, now I'm sorry to tell you, don't mind." ”
"Mrs. Su, you, a grandmother and aunt, are under pressure, and you tell me not to mind and not to take it to heart.
If I don't agree, won't I have to be small-minded and unwilling to tolerate others? Then I can only accept it even if I don't want to accept it. ”
Su Jiudong first raised and then suppressed, and the words changed: "But I was chased and beaten so badly yesterday, and I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart."
I can't accept the apology from you and Aunt Xinglian, because I am a cautious person and I don't want to accept the villain's apology. ”
Li was embarrassed on the spot, but he didn't expect Su Jiudong to say that he was cautious rather than accept Su Xinglian's apology, which shows that he had offended Su Jiudong and the second room before.
