Chapter 12: The Rebel Girl

The Zhang family was in a mess.

Zhang's mother grabbed the feather duster in the porcelain vase on the table, and came to beat Shen Mengxi: "You rebel girl!" I'll let you talk nonsense! ”

Shen Mengxi's arm was slapped unguardedly, and she immediately cried out in pain: "It hurts!" ”

Hurriedly jumped away, everyone went to stop, Zhang Mu's little feet stomped on the spot, and she was so angry that she used a feather duster to smoke the table.

"Zhang Jiasen!" Shen Mengxi shouted.

With a "plop", Zhang Jiasen knelt down in front of Zhang's father, and everyone was cast a fixed spell, crying and shouting stopped moving.

"Father! The son is not filial! When I came back this time, I want to ask you to agree, I want to divorce the Qin family. After speaking, Zhang Jiasen kowtowed to his father, raised his body, and looked at Zhang's father.

Qin, who had just woken up, happened to hear this, she got up and stumbled to kneel opposite Zhang Jiasen, "Jiasen, Jiasen, are you fascinated by the fox spirit?" Your son is about to get married, how did you become like this? Qin slammed his head against his chest, crying uncontrollably. Zhang Jiasen's face was painful and let her beat him.

The elegant and kind father Zhang slowly stood up, the family has been peaceful for decades, the three wives and concubines have never had a big quarrel, more than ten children have grown up in harmony, and now the children and grandchildren are full, and the second son suddenly turned the sky.

He walked up to Zhang Jiasen, stretched out his hand, and slapped him hard, crisp and loud, Zhang Jiasen did not dodge or dodge, the left side of his face quickly swollen, Zhang's father's hand trembled in his sleeve, and even his beard was trembling.

Qin exclaimed, pounced up, and checked Zhang Jiasen's face, Zhang Jiasen pushed her away and hugged Zhang's father's leg: "Father, father, don't be angry, it's the son who is not filial, it's the son who is not filial!" ”

Zhang Jiaheng came over to support Zhang's father, let him sit on the chair, check his pulse, and rub his heart.

Father Zhang's face slowly softened, and he said sadly: "How did this world become like this? Is it intolerable among women? She wants you to come back for a divorce, and you just come back for a divorce? He turned his head to look at Shen Mengxi again: "Yu'er, can't you tolerate your husband having a concubine?" ”

Zhang Jiaheng signaled Shen Mengxi with his eyes, don't talk nonsense.

"Tell my father, first of all, I am the same as my second sister-in-law, but others can't tolerate my existence, and I am passively divorced. Moreover, in my opinion, their divorce is not necessarily because the wife of the family is bad, but because they want to pursue freedom, and what they want to divorce is just an arranged marriage. ”

Several brothers stopped her at the same time.

"Father is not so fragile that he can't even listen to the truth, Huang Shiying has already been in and out of public with her second brother, and it is estimated that she will not be able to hide it from you for a long time, maybe my father has already known it. Also, I would like to talk about myself about today's events. Xu Shizhe and I divorced, and there was no alimony for an eldest son, and he still took it for granted. I hope that my brothers will come forward and help me get all the dowry back, and I won't keep a single child! ”

Father Zhang seemed to frown, and Shen Mengxi looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see it clearly.

She really doesn't understand her father's and brother's love for Xu Shizhe. Is Xu Shizhe really good at being a person, or do they not pay attention to Zhang Jiayu at all?

"If the six brothers and two younger brothers can't help, then I'll take it myself, it's been five years since the divorce, I thought the Xu family would have sent it back a long time ago, and the interest over the years has been a lot."

"Father, I'll go get a dowry for Yu'er." Zhang Jiaheng spoke.

Father Zhang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Then you can take the family building with you, don't have disputes, it's best to bring Ah Huan back to live for a few days." ”

Zhang Jiaheng and Zhang Jiadong should be hanging their hands.

"As for you, don't even think about divorce!" Zhang's father yelled at Zhang Jiasen, who was kneeling in front of him, got up and was helped back to the room by Zhang Jiaheng.

"If you have more children, you are all debts!" Zhang's mother cried and said that she was also helped away by her sister-in-law.

Everyone left, leaving only Zhang Jiasen and his wife and Shen Mengxi.

"Jiayu! Why are you so impulsive! What Zhang Jiasen wanted was to ventilate his mother in private, and then slowly talk to the Qin family.

"Heh, when you feel sorry for Xu Shizhe in front of me, why don't you control yourself?" Shen Mengxi walked up to Zhang Jiasen, "He bullied your sister and said that she was a little foot bun!" In order to pursue a fashionable woman, divorce her! But you are sorry for the loss of your sister-in-law? Hahaha! What a joke! What is it? This, yes, cheap! ”

Shen Mengxi pointed at Zhang Jiasen's nose word by word, and Zhang Jiasen was trembling with anger.

Shen Mengxi didn't say enough, "If my sister is bullied like this, I will be the first to hit the door, and he will be beaten so that his nostrils are bleeding, and his own mother and son don't know him!" Shen Mengxi roared, "Brother? Do you have one? No! You're still in close contact with him! Have you ever thought about your sister's feelings? You are so optimistic about him, how is he better? Talent? His talent is used to write love letters, does it have anything to do with your sister? ”

Zhang Jiasen looked at his crazy sister in amazement, and for the first time seriously guessed how much his sister had been wronged. The Qin family was also frightened, and grabbed Shen Mengxi and told her not to say anything.

"Anyway, my father slapped my second brother for you!" Shen Mengxi shook off his second sister-in-law's hand and went back to his room.

******

Under the urging of Shen Mengxi, on the third day, Zhang Jiaheng and Zhang Jiadong took a few servants to Kipshi.

Zhang's mother has been angry, her daughter went to Germany for five years, and she became not a lady at all, she didn't know how to restrain herself, she didn't want to be patient, she didn't understand, she taught for 20 years, and she didn't arrive at the five years in a foreign country?

The Qin family has made a lot of trouble in the past few days, and has been hanged twice in search of death, but fortunately, they were all found by the servants and saved.

Of course, Shen Mengxi knew that Zhang Jiasen would not have any feelings for the Qin family, the Qin family was illiterate, the two did not have a common language, and it was very important for husband and wife to be able to talk. Relatively silent for decades, it is not as comfortable as celibacy.

"Jiayu, it turns out that you have been angry with your second brother, blame me for not standing up for you, right?" In the end, it is my brother, Shen Mengxi pointed his nose and scolded like that, but he still didn't hold a grudge.

"Humph! What is my brother for? Isn't it just used to deter the husband's family! Is it just for the dock? Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes, she didn't want to make a big fuss with Zhang Jiasen, so she hurried down the steps.

"Okay, it's the second brother who didn't think it through, and when I saw Xu Shizhe when I turned around, the first thing I did was to scold him, and the second thing was to beat him! Are you satisfied? ”

"It's like a brother!" Shen Mengxi said with a smile. "Second brother, it's hard for you to get married, I can only help you get here."

"What do you call helping me? You're a troublemaker! Zhang Jiasen couldn't cry or laugh.

"Actually, I very much disagree with you not getting a free body, so you went to provoke another woman. But something has happened, hopefully you can find the best way to solve the problem. I'm just giving you a start. ”

"Heh, you are clearly leading the way to the east! It's just that I love you and tolerate you. ”

"Hey! Difficult brothers, help each other, I took the dowry, I went to the French Concession to buy a house, moved out of the fourth brother's house, and lived my own life, so that you would not worry about seeing me one by one. ”

"What's the matter, it's not natural to live in my brother's house!" Zhang Jiasen said very disapprovingly.

"Alas, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels!" Shen Mengxi said with a smile.

Half a month later, the Zhang Jiaheng brothers came back, and the dowry was pulled back with a cart and a small cart, and it is said that a cart of wagons was loaded.

There is also a little boy about ten years old, Ah Huan.

The child got out of the car, stood there motionless, silently searched the crowd, and hesitated when he saw Shen Mengxi. The child's face is seven points like Xu Shizhe, and the text is quiet. Shen Mengxi walked over quickly and took him into his arms, the child was still motionless, but Shen Mengxi felt that his clothes were wet.

Poor child, Shen Mengxi touched his soft hair and hugged him tightly.

Father Zhang looked at the dowry list and ordered Zhang Jiaheng to hand over the list and all the money tickets, land deeds, jewelry, clothes, etc. to Shen Mengxi, "What is given to you is all yours." ”

Shen Mengxi didn't shirk and took it.

Ho, that's a lot of it! There are deposit receipts, silver dollars, shop title deeds, gold and silver jewelry, furniture fabrics, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even the stepping bed and toilet have been brought back.

"Thank you, third brother! Thank you, Fifth Brother! Thank you very much! Shen Mengxi saluted and thanked the two elder brothers, and they both smiled and said that they should be.

Shen Mengxi lived in Baoshan for three more days, so that Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were close to Ah Huan, and she went to Shanghai. Zhang's mother was very displeased, "What does it look like for a woman to stay at home and run around?" ”

"I'm no longer the Zhang family, I still live in the Zhang family, what do I look like, I have been studying abroad for a few years, I'll go to Shanghai to find a job to support myself and my children."

"What words? Is your dowry not enough for you to eat for the rest of your life? ”

"Good men don't eat family meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes. I'm still more down-to-earth on my own. You and your father take care of your health, and when I settle down, I will take you to live in Shanghai." ”

Shen Mengxi led Ah Huan, only brought the passbook, title deed and jewelry, and returned to Shanghai.

Ah Huan is looking forward to going to Shanghai, he heard his grandfather say that his father should also be in Shanghai, he has not seen his father and mother for many years, and this time he saw it all at once, which is really happy.

How did this child know that he followed his two uncles to Baoshan, and his father went back to his grandfather's house.

The turmoil of the Xu family is not smaller than that of the Zhang family, and Xu's father was already depressed because the two sons of the Zhang family came to take away the dowry. In fact, he still has fantasies in his heart, his son makes a fuss, maybe he will get back together with Jiayu, after all, it is his grandson's biological mother, and he has always been very filial when he got married, and there is no fault at all.

This time, when he heard that Jiayu had returned to China, he also considered sending someone to pick up his daughter-in-law to come back to live for a while, so that their mother and son could reunite. Who would have thought that the Zhang family came to take the divorce agreement and directly said that the dowry was recovered, it seems that there is no possibility of reunion, and there will be many inconveniences in the business in the future.

Over there, just sent off the Zhang brothers, the son here came back and said that he was going to get married, what kind of famous daughter is the woman, and she is still a married woman. Xu's father was so angry that he scolded his son for being rebellious and insulting.

But Xu Shizhe insisted that he would not marry that woman.

Xu's father was so angry that he fell ill. Xu's mother also cried every day, she couldn't accept that her son wanted to marry a woman who had just divorced, she beat her son's back: "Don't be a good daughter-in-law, don't want your son's mother-in-law, you marry a woman who has been married by someone else!" Are you stupid or crazy! ”

Xu Shizhe was very helpless: "Mother, we really love each other, you don't understand!" ”

"Phew! Don't have a face! Open your mouth and shut your mouth about the words of shame! I understand that my grandson doesn't have his own mother by his side, and I can take care of him for a few years! Do you have to let my only grandson fall into the hands of my stepmother? ”

Xu Shizhe knelt helplessly in front of his mother's bed.

There are no parents in the world who can beat their children, Xu Shizhe went on a hunger strike for three days, and Xu's father finally relented, he said: "As long as Jiayu agrees to your marriage, I will not object!" ”

Xu Shizhe was very happy when he heard this, jumped up and ran out, "Father! Jiayu she will definitely agree, she also hates this feudal arranged marriage, she signed the divorce very happily back then, today she will still agree to my remarriage, she will still bless me! ”

A gust of wind left, and Father Xu sat in the hall dejectedly, not moving for a long time.
