Chapter 144: Uninvited Guest
With Aunt Liu, the stiff atmosphere between Qian Qianqian and Qian's mother has finally eased a lot.
The mouths of the people at the table were quickly conquered by the sumptuous dishes, and the mouths were full of endless praises, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Qian Hui finished drinking a bowl of chicken soup, wiped his mouth, and praised him: "Eldest sister, I'm afraid that even the masters in the restaurant can't catch up with your skills." ”
As soon as the words fell, a sharp female voice came from far and near.
"Ouch, that's a big breath, then I'll have to taste it to see if someone is talking big or if I'm out of taste."
The unique sharp, yin and yang weird tone, who else is there besides the aunt who dies all day long?
Qian Qianqian was secretly annoyed, why did she forget to lock the door when she came in.
This lock door is not to prevent thieves and thieves, but to guard against brazen people like the eldest aunt.
Everyone is here, Qian Qianqian can ignore her, but Qian's mother cannot.
Mother Qian put down Qian Yao, got up from the seat, wiped her mouth, and the eldest aunt looked at her oily mouth, and then looked at the big fish and meat on the table, her eyes were shining, and she swallowed her saliva without any breath.
"For the Chinese New Year, my sister-in-law is not at home, why did she come to town?"
Mother Qian automatically ignored the eldest aunt's yin and yang strange words, and asked lukewarmly.
The eldest aunt rolled her eyes and sat down in Qian's mother's position, Qian Yao was squeezed and stumbled, but fortunately, Qian Hui next to her quickly held on to her and didn't fall.
Qian Hui was angry, glared and said, "As an elder, the eldest aunt can't even take care of the juniors, so how can she be embarrassed to sit down." ”
The eldest aunt was stunned, but she hadn't seen her for a few months, how did this kid who only knows how to eat has completely changed?
But can she still be afraid of half a child? The eldest aunt slapped the table and said bitterly: "What's the matter, you are developed, and you don't recognize me as the eldest aunt?" Can't even sit on your broken stools? ”
Qian Hui realized that the eldest aunt was avoiding the important and trivial, and was just about to reason with her, but Qian's mother interrupted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the child, if you haven't eaten, just eat at our house." ”
This is like words, the eldest aunt smiled with satisfaction, put the purpose of her coming to the back of her mind for the time being, and was just about to pick up the chopsticks to clamp the largest chicken thigh, and a pair of chopsticks to clamp it.
The eldest aunt looked up along the chopsticks, facing a pair of cold and unsmiling eyes, and the eldest aunt was cold behind her and looked embarrassed.
"Get out." Qian Qianqian said coldly.
Mother Qian can bear it, but she can't bear it, a woman who keeps making trouble with them, constantly harming them, and framing them, if she can bear it, she is not a human being.
"I'm your aunt!"
Qian Qianqian reminded: "Don't forget, when you drove us out of the Qian family, you had already broken off with us. ”
"You girl is so ruthless!"
Qian Qianqian put down her chopsticks, swept her eyes, and stopped on the broom in the corner for a while: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for driving people with a broom." ”
Qian Qianqian did what she said, and the eldest aunt had also seen how iron-hearted she was, and knew that she couldn't please her, so she had a plan and turned to Qian's mother smartly.
"I said you, you really don't think about the Qian family at all? If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about Qian Hui and Qian Yao? The two brothers still have to rely on the help of the Qian family! ”
Qian Qianqian smiled when she heard this, clasped her hands to her chest, and said sarcastically: "How can you be a scoundrel and shameless?" ”
"You!"
"What's wrong with me? Am I not right? Qian Qianqian forced to ask: "The eldest uncle and the third uncle are all strong, and it's not that they can't work in the fields, and they can't make money to support their families, why don't you have the shame to rely on our orphans and widows, and come to the door three times twice to fight the autumn breeze to find trouble?" ”
Every word is a poking word. The eldest aunt was already good-looking, but now she was stabbed in front of outsiders, her face was hot, she was annoyed and angry, she stood up and overturned the table all of a sudden, crackling into a pot of porridge, and Qian Yao was even more frightened and cried.
The eldest aunt sat on the ground, pounded her chest with both hands, and cried heartbreakingly: "You girl with a vicious mind, how did our Qian family have such a girl like you, God, aren't you trying to force me to death?" ”
Aunt Liu gave Liu Han a look, Liu Han understood, and Tong Bo walked out with a few children, leaving only Qian Qianqian, Qian Mu, Aunt Liu and the eldest aunt in the house.
Qian Qianqian didn't swallow her anger, and the eldest aunt's sprinkling and rolling was useless to her, she pointed to the door and said: "What I said is true, if the eldest aunt doesn't think it's good, don't do those embarrassing things." Now, if you want to save face, go out of our house. ”
The eldest aunt looked at Mother Qian and cried: "You still care about your girl, you bully your elders like this, you don't care, you have to ruin the reputation of the Qian family?" Are you worthy of your dead second brother? ”
Mother Qian panicked, she couldn't tell right from wrong for a while, but she knew one thing very well, there was a pungent girl who had a bad reputation for the Qian family.
"That's enough, Qianqian, apologize to your aunt."
Qian Qianqian sneered: "Apologize? Is it necessary to apologize next? Do I have to give whatever she wants? ”
The eldest aunt stopped crying for a moment, raised her head and hurriedly said: "I don't want anything, it's just that the family is so poor that they can't open the pot, and they can't even afford a decent New Year, so I want to borrow some silver from you for the New Year." ”
"How much silver?" When Mother Qian heard this, she couldn't bear it.
The eldest aunt's eyes lit up instantly, and she stretched out her right palm, shaking her five fingers.
"Five taels?" Mother Qian was a little heartbroken, but she could take it out by gritting her teeth.
Qian Qianqian witnessed everything, watched coldly, and after dealing with each other for so long, Qian's mother still didn't know enough about the appetite of that family.
They are not poor people who can't eat enough, they are black holes that fill the dissatisfaction.
After Mother Qian said five taels, the eldest aunt's face crossed with contempt, how can five taels be enough?
She said, "Fifty taels." ”
Mother Qian looked embarrassed, counted her small treasury, and said a little weakly: "Sister-in-law, I really don't have so much silver, and I can only take out thirty taels at most." ”
Thirty taels, Qian Qianqian was also a little surprised.
Because I am afraid that Qian's mother will send money to that family again, Qian Qianqian is in charge of the money she earns at home, and Qian Qianqian is responsible for all the expenses, but she also ensures that Qian's mother often has a few taels of silver in her hand to be able to deal with emergencies.
It is a good thing to save private money, but what Qian Qianqian is afraid of is that like today, Qian's mother will give the silver to her eldest aunt.
Thirty taels is a lot, it can be said that it is a huge wealth, but the stomach of the eldest aunt was raised by Mother Qian, and she can't look down on thirty taels.
The eldest aunt pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Your Qianqian can make so much money, fifty taels of silver is not a small matter to her?" ”
Mother Qian was tossed and had a headache, she just wanted to send away the living Hades as soon as possible, and pressed her head to Qian Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, give the silver to your aunt." ”
Qian Qianqian was unexpected, not only did she not refuse, but also said neatly: "Aunt is waiting, I'll come back when I go." ”
Mother Qian and the eldest aunt were stunned at the same time, watching Qian Qianqian push the door and leave without looking back, the eldest aunt raised her eyes and asked, "What is she going to do?" ”
Mother Qian leaned against the door and hesitated: "Maybe it is to go to the money village to go to the silver?" ”
Indeed, fifty taels is a lot, and Qian Qianqian is a careful person, and she will put the silver in the money bank like she will do.
When the eldest aunt thought about this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes swept to a mess and a complete chicken leg, so she picked it up and put it in her mouth without disgust.
Mother Qian silently looked away in her heart, and her sympathy for the eldest aunt was even greater, and she forgot how the eldest aunt treated her at the beginning.
Aunt Liu is worried, with her understanding of Qianqian, she doesn't seem to have a temperament that will calm things down, I hope there won't be any big mess.
Several people outside are also discussing, but without exception, they are all gambling on Qianqian definitely not to get money.
Several people looked forward to it, and finally waited for Qian Qianqian, but no one expected that she would invite the official to come.
It was the Chinese New Year, and there were only a few people on duty in the yamen, and everyone in the yamen knew that the money boss of the hot pot restaurant had a lot of friendship with the world-shaking General Xiao, so in this kind of day when she didn't have to deal with errands, she also sent two officials to come with her.
As soon as she saw the official in red and blue clothes, the eldest aunt instantly fell to the ground in fright, the chicken leg in her hand fell, rolled a few times in the mess, and returned to her original position.
The eldest aunt was so frightened that her face turned pale, this girl was so vicious, she didn't care about it at all!
In the trembling of the eldest aunt, the two officials got closer and closer and came to the eldest aunt.
"You're the one who broke into the private house to make trouble?"
The eldest aunt's limbs were weak, and her lips trembled and said: "Two officials Mingjian, I am the eldest aunt of this girl, and I am very close, don't listen to this girl's nonsense." ”
The two officials had already been instructed by Qian Qianqian, and they got some benefits, how could they listen to the eldest aunt, the two of them looked serious, wearing official uniforms, and were not angry and arrogant: "If you want to make trouble, follow me to the yamen, if you want to be self-aware, leave here quickly!" ”
When the eldest aunt heard the yamen, she was not frightened.
If she really entered the yamen because of trouble, she wouldn't want to raise her head in Qianjia Village in the future. Considering the consequences, the eldest aunt got up as soon as she slipped away, left the small courtyard without looking back, and returned to Qian's house in fear.
The money didn't arrive, but was reprimanded by the official, and the eldest aunt went back to Qian's house, exhausted, and before she could sit down at the door, she was surrounded by a large family.
"How's it going? How much silver did the girl give you? ”
The eldest aunt pushed people away, picked up a glass of water and poured it into her stomach, the fire in her stomach did not fall but rose, she gritted her teeth and said, "Silver? Hmph, don't talk about the silver, I almost ate prison food! ”
Without the official errand, the eldest aunt became a tiger again, and said indignantly: "That girl actually reported to the official and accused me of trespassing in a private house, if I didn't run fast, our whole family would have to be sent into the yamen by her!" ”
When the Sanfang family heard this, they pouted, and said unhappily: "What my sister-in-law said, you are the only one who asks for money, and no matter how you do it, you can't get anything to do with us." ”
The eldest aunt's eyes were horizontal, and her eyes showed a fierce light: "You rotten mouth, sooner or later you will be torn apart by me." ”
The third aunt snorted a few times, but she didn't dare to speak for fear of the eldest aunt's fierce appearance.
As soon as the others heard that they didn't get the money, they went about their own business in despair.
The eldest aunt was so hungry that she couldn't help but shout, "What are you going to do if you don't eat yet!" ”
In response to her, only the third aunt gloated: "We have all finished eating, you have to go to the kitchen to find something to eat by yourself when you are hungry." ”
When the eldest aunt went to the kitchen, she saw that only a few rotten leaves were floating in the pig food pot, and there was nothing left for her to eat.
