Chapter 11 The Chapter Family

After the dinner, Shen Mengxi went to Zhang Jiasen's house to pick up his luggage, after Huang Shiying said goodbye to Shen Mengxi, seeing that they seemed to have something to say, he went upstairs, Zhang Jiasen was a little sneering, Shen Mengxi looked at him, smiled and said, "Next, you are going to divorce too." ”

Although Zhang Jiasen was embarrassed, he still nodded persistently.

"I didn't even see at noon that there were traces of women living here." Shen Mengxi took a turn in the living room and looked at Zhang Jiaxuan: "Fourth brother, do you also have a confidante?" Are you also planning to get a divorce? ”

In today's world, the small-footed daughter-in-law of a peasant in the countryside is fine, and the original wives of progressive people in the city are all at risk of being divorced.

Zhang Jiaxuan shook her head, her round face was a little helpless, urging her sister to go home quickly.

"If there is a first divorce, there will be a nth one. It's normal too! Shen Mengxi's luggage had been taken to Zhang Jiaxuan's car by the maid, and she said to Zhang Jiasen earnestly: "It's just that most of the women in this era don't have independent financial ability, and if they lose their husbands, they basically lose everything." You should be kind to your second sister-in-law. ”

"Seventh sister, you won't still be thinking about Shizhe!" Zhang Jiaxuan suddenly said.

Where does this phrase come from? Only the two of you look at him well! It almost made me sick and vomited the Buddha jumping over the wall! Shen Mengxi laughed angrily, "I'm just reminding the second brother, think more from a woman's point of view, the woman you don't love is also the daughter and sister of someone else's pampered family!" In addition, I have no feelings for Xu Shizhe! This is true, truer than real gold! ”

Looking at the thoughtful Zhang Jiasen, Shen Mengxi pulled Zhang Jiaxuan and said, "Fourth brother, let's go, I'm so tired." ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at this sister who had undergone earth-shaking changes, revealing helpless expressions.

The fourth brother Zhang Jiaxuan's home is a two-story small building in the public concession, with a basement and a small attic.

The fourth sister-in-law, Lu Xiuxian, is one year younger than the fourth brother, and is also from Baoshan, her mother's family and the Zhang family are world friends, she is petite, with the posture of a middle-aged person, a pair of small feet came down from the upstairs, she was very careful and hard, and her niece Zhang Jingshu helped her down slowly. He was followed by two boys, one was eight or nine years old named Zhang Junde, and the other was four or five years old named Zhang Luming.

Lu Shunxian took Shen Mengxi's hand and shed tears before he spoke.

Shen Mengxi remembered the character of this sister-in-law, like her name, supple and virtuous, and extremely soft-hearted.

She helped her fourth sister-in-law to sit on the sofa, "Don't cry fourth sister-in-law, I'm not good, let my nephews give me a gift, I have brought a lot of gifts!" ”

Lu Xiuxian couldn't get used to the cheerfulness of her sister-in-law, and touched her hair hesitantly, "You must have suffered enough in a foreign country." Which woman is naturally spicy? No one to take care of them, not even a single subordinate! It's still on the other side of the ocean, how hard it is! After saying that, he began to cry again.

"Okay, you cry when the seventh sister doesn't come back, and the seventh sister is back, and you still cry! Why are you still crying endlessly! The fourth brother couldn't help but say.

One sentence stopped the fourth sister-in-law's crying, "Yes, yes, look at me!" After saying that, he smiled and asked the children to call their aunt.

The three sons and nephews all obediently greeted each other and called their aunts good.

Shen Mengxi's luggage had been moved by the maid to the room at the west end of the second floor, and she went up to get the gifts and gave them to her brother and sister-in-law and nephews and nieces.

"You're just too good at spending money!" Zhang Jiaxuan complained about his sister while looking at the tie in the box with a smile, "It's so fancy, how can I take it out?" ”

"I see that gentlemen in London wear it like this, and Mr. Wilson has a similar one, by the way, in two months, maybe Wilson of the East India Company will contact you, we met on a ship to England. I met again in Germany, and he would probably help me get my diploma. ”

"You didn't get your diploma?" Zhang Jiaxuan is wondering about his sister's sudden return to China.

Shen Mengxi briefly recounted the experience of Germany, omitting the passages that were too bloody, Zhang Jiaguang listened and touched her hair, "It's right to come back." ”

Lu Shunxian, who was next to him, was already in tears when he heard it: "How can there be such a wolf-hearted person!" We Jiayu saved them like that, how could we still shoot and kill people! She hugged Shen Mengxi and cried: "I'll just say that you suffered, why did the second brother leave you alone in Germany, and that Xu Shizhe is the most unkind thing, he will not die well!" ”

Shen Mengxi stroked her back soothingly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine." He also said to Zhang Jiaxuan: "Going abroad has allowed me to see a new world, and my years of experience have also changed my outlook on life and attitude towards things." Actually, going abroad and getting divorced are good things for me! ”

"How can it be a good thing! You don't know what happened out there in those years! The newspaper also said every day......" Lu Shunxian suddenly stopped, covered his mouth, and looked at Shen Mengxi apologetically.

Shen Mengxi smiled indifferently, "The tongue grows in other people's mouths, and they can say whatever they like." ”

Lu Shunxian looked at Shen Mengxi sadly, she felt that her sister-in-law had been gone for five or six years, and they would not be able to talk together if they came back. I can't help but feel sad and want to cry again.

Baoshan is very close to Shanghai, but Shen Mengxi doesn't want to go back, and what he faces must be sighs and tears, and maybe his mother's blame. Zhang Jiaxuan was angry, "After going abroad for so many years, your parents often cry when they think of you, now that you have returned to China, you should have gone back to visit and kowtow immediately, how could you delay for three days and not move?" “

"Don't be careful, Jiayu, your fourth brother didn't drive you away, let your fourth brother take you back, and then bring you back, ah, obedient!" Lu Shunxian persuaded her beside her.

Shen Mengxi had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Zhang Jiaxuan was busy with business and did not go back, so Shen Mengxi took Zhang Jiasen's car back to Baoshan.

Of course, Zhang Jiasen went back to divorce.

The Zhang family is quite famous in the Baoshan area, the family has a rich ancestral industry, and Zhang's father is also a famous doctor in the county. The ancestral house is very large, not only do several sons who have married have a place to live, but even the boudoir of Zhang Jiayu, the daughter who got married, is still untouched.

Shen Mengxi followed the second brother to kowtow to his parents in the hall, and after getting up, her mother took her hand and sat down, and asked her about her situation over the years.

Zhang's mother wiped her tears, "Why are you so worried, none of my eight sons are worrying about you!" I thought I had found the best in-law for you, but why did you come back with a break in the past few years! ”

"It's a divorce, not a divorce."

"That's not the same!" Zhang's mother is full of sadness and old face, which is very different from the image in Zhang Jiayu's impression.

There are twelve children in the Zhang family, and only four of the eight sons mentioned by Zhang's mother were born to her.

The eldest brother, Zhang Jiakun, was born to Zhang's mother and is 41 years old this year.

The second brother, Zhang Jiasen, was born to the second aunt and is 39 years old this year.

The third brother, Zhang Jiaheng, was born to Zhang's mother and is 39 years old this year.

The four Zhang Jiaxuan, born to Zhang's mother, are 37 years old this year.

The fifth brother, Zhang Jiadong, was born to the second aunt and is 33 years old this year.

The sixth brother, Zhang Jiashu, was born to the second aunt and is 30 years old this year.

The old seven Zhang Jiayu was born to Zhang's mother and is 26 years old this year.

The eighth brother, Zhang Jiage, was born to the third aunt and is 21 years old this year.

The ninth brother, Zhang Jiayu, was born to Zhang's mother and is 20 years old this year.

The tenth sister, Zhang Jiali, was born to the third aunt and is 18 years old this year.

The eleventh sister, Zhang Jiafu, was born to the third aunt and is 16 years old this year.

The twelfth sister, Zhang Jiarui, was born to the third aunt and is 14 years old this year.

This family, one wife, two concubines, twelve children, and more than eight years old are married, and they live together lively, and they are actually quite harmonious. This has a lot to do with Zhang's mother's behavior, she treats several concubines, and her sister-in-law treats her as her own, from Zhang Jiasen's several expensive studies abroad, it can be seen that the children in the family are all gentle and bright, and the daughters-in-law are also virtuous and sensible.

The eldest brother runs the family's cotton oil factory and takes care of the Baoshan industry in Shanghai, the third brother follows his father as a doctor, the fifth brother is in charge of the fields, the sixth brother and the eighth brother are in charge of the store in Baoshan, and the ninth brother is in school.

The three younger sisters are still waiting for the boudoir.

Zhang's father loved this eldest daughter the most, and when he saw her return to her parents' house after the divorce, he didn't cry or complain, but his heart was even more sad. But he still said: "What a good talent Shizhe is, our family is not blessed!" ”

Shen Mengxi was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.

Zhang Jiasen also said: "The loss of this sister-in-law is a great loss for our Zhang family!" ”

The family's ignorant "love talent" made her unbearable, and Huo Di stood up: "He has a wife and children, and pursues unmarried girls in England; After the divorce, he returned to China to seduce a married woman, this is the talent you admire! Talent without virtue is a scourge! ”

The whole family was shocked, and Zhang's mother saw that her carefully raised daughter had become vulgar, and she cried bitterly, trembling and pointing at her and saying: "Evil, it's me who didn't educate well, no wonder Shizhe wants to divorce her!" ”

Shen Mengxi sneered: "Zhang Jiasen, why are you going back to Baoshan?" Leave happily! Why don't I go back to Shanghai first! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhang Jiasen glared at Shen Mengxi angrily, and Shen Mengxi raised his chin, "What I said was wrong?" Or are you already planning to break up with Miss Huang Shiying? ”

The second sister-in-law, Zhang Qin, is illiterate, has two sons, only knows how to embroider and chant Buddha every day, and helps her mother-in-law to take care of housework, she is 37 years old, and her sideburns have some white hair. Over the years, her husband is knowledgeable, has a good character, and her son is willing to work hard in his studies, the eldest son is 22 years old, studying in the United States, and the second son is 15 years old, studying in middle school. She also thought that she had spent her whole life comfortably like this.

Who would have thought that the sister-in-law would throw such a bomb when she came back.

She stood up tremblingly and paced her little feet, "Jiasen, Seventh Sister is talking nonsense, right?" ”

Zhang Jiasen nodded with difficulty.

The second sister-in-law saw it and said happily: "Mother, you have to take care of the seventh sister......"

"What the seventh sister said is true!" Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Jiasen added a sentence and knocked her down.

After more than 20 years of marriage, Zhang Jiasen frequently studied abroad or worked outside, and most of the Qin family stayed alone in empty houses. But she knew Zhang Jiasen's character and knew that he would never come out in a hurry, this time she spoke so solemnly and hard, it must have been sincere, Zhang Qin's family couldn't lift it in one breath, and fainted.
