Chapter 60: Oppression and Resistance
Pu Cao glanced at the second couple Zhang who were still crying, turned her head and patted the arm of the second sister-in-law Chen, and whispered in her ear, "Second sister-in-law, please help me invite Li Zheng and a few elders to come over, just say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”
Chen's second sister-in-law is a well-known delicate heart, how could she not hear the implicit meaning of Pucao's words, she was so excited that she clenched her clothes tightly, and replied again and again, "Okay, good, sister, don't worry, I will take care of Li Zheng and the elders." ”
Pu Cao tore off the headscarf around her neck and stuffed it into her hand, and said with a smile, "Go and come back quickly." ”
At this time, Uncle Zhang's husband and wife performed too much into the play, and used their head as a stone to hit the table leg, and everyone was afraid that the pottery bowl would fall to the ground and rushed forward to help. Chen's second sister-in-law took the opportunity to open the door of the house and squeezed out quietly.
Second Uncle Zhang and his wife saw that everyone was like this, and they thought that their plan was about to succeed, so they made more and more trouble, chattering in their mouths, and even turned out the five catties of bud noodles they had given when Zhang Gui'er was born, so as to accuse Zhang Gui'er of being ungrateful, which made everyone cry and laugh and hate.
Liu Shuisheng has always been thinking about the purpose of coming here, seeing that his father and mother are all happy to see the excitement, as if he really left the business behind, he was a little anxious, and took advantage of everyone's inattention to give his father a look.
Father Liu inadvertently saw his son like this, and thought that there was something wrong with his eyes, but then he suddenly remembered that he hurriedly went to stab the old woman, and then got up and stepped forward to pull Zhang Er's arm and pretended to comfort, "Second brother Zhang, don't be sad." said a thousand ways and ten thousand, no one blames it, just blame Brother Zhang for going early. There are no elders in this family, and the rules just don't stand up. Look at our family, whether it is the eldest or the youngest, they are all filial piety and courtesy. Nothing has disobeyed my will, no one in this village is boastful. ”
Mrs. Liu also came to the front at this time, just opened her mouth to speak but coughed violently, and everyone who sprayed took a step back, she didn't feel anything, reached out and wiped her mouth and echoed, "That's it, if there are no elders in the family, it won't work." You see that my family has a son and Chunni is very filial, hunting and embroidering on weekdays, even if it is sold back for a few pennies, it will be handed over to us to take charge of. This time, the two of them followed the grass to grow vegetables and made a lot of money. If you don't believe me, just look at it, keep it for a while, and they will be happy to bring it out for me and his father to take back. ”
The old lady looked like she was very proud, turned to Chunni and Shengzi, and asked in a loud voice, "Isn't it, Shengzi?" ”
Old man Liu also hurriedly smiled, "You old woman, do you still need to ask, giving birth to a child has always been the most filial." Where do the two of them know how to save money when they just live, and if they don't give us the control of our parents, can they still dig a hole and bury it? ”
Liu Housheng sat on the chair, listening to his father and mother singing and harmonizing, and the cooperation was so intimate, his heart was like being splashed with a bucket of ice water, and he instantly froze.
Originally, last night their husband and wife got the money, and they were so excited that they hugged each other and shed tears, after all, they have a livelihood to rely on in the future, and they don't have to worry about being hungry anymore. The two of them discussed happily that they would repair the yard with more money in their hands in the future, and then have a child to live a good life.
It's a pity that before they put this thought in their arms, his father and mother made such a calculation again.
Help them keep their money in charge? He grew up in front of them since he was a child, how could he not know that his father's and mother's boxes have always been in and out. After they got married, all the money they earned back was taken away under such an excuse, but unfortunately when they finally separated, they didn't see anything...
The eldest son of the Liu family, who didn't know how to bully, was completely chilled, and they were thinking proudly that Zhang Er's family had fulfilled their crying like this. Da'er has always been honest and obedient, even if he is reluctant to give up those silver coins in his heart, he will never refute it in front of everyone. So the silver will be kept in their pockets.
Chunni pinched her hands together, trying her best to control herself from picking up the teapot at hand and throwing it towards the shameless old couple. Pu Cao is right, if the men in her family don't see the true face of their biological father and mother and don't make up their minds to resist for their little family, they will never be able to get out of the control of this unscrupulous in-law.
"Dad, mother," Liu Housheng finally lived up to Chunni's hopes, although his lips trembled, he still said clearly and simply, "Chunni and I have already separated from each other, and we will have to repair the house in the future, have children and inherit the lineage, and we will use silver money everywhere." Therefore, the money we earned back will no longer be handed over to my father and mother. ”
"What, what do you say! You repeat? Old man Liu and Mrs. Liu listened to Da'er's words in their ears, and they really couldn't believe it, they just thought they were poor.
It's a pity that Liu Housheng really broke off the foolish heart, and said again with a calm face, "Daddy, we have separated and passed away." The money Chunni and I earned back to support our family will not be handed over to my father and mother in the future. ”
"You unfilial son!" The eldest son, who had always been honest and silent, suddenly rebelled like this, so angry that the old man Liu scolded out with a snort, "What did you say? Separation! You are not my son when you are separated, your life is given by me, why can't I take charge of the money for you. ”
"That's it, you unfilial thing, my mother, I had a stomachache for three days and three nights before I gave birth to you. If I knew you were so unfilial, I should have drowned you in water. Mrs. Liu was still comforting Aunt Zhang just now, and immediately joined the ranks of the actors after a while, patting her thighs and crying loudly, which scared Zhang Er and his wife into a daze.
Chunni had already loosened her clenched fists, no matter how she looked at Liu Housheng's honest and honest face, she felt very fond of it, and she couldn't wait to rush forward and kiss him immediately. If he could have been as tough as he is today, would she have suffered so many grievances? But it's not too late now, in the future, their days will be more and more prosperous without the constraints of their in-laws!
Thinking like this, the corners of her mouth curled, and her face smiled like a flower. Mrs. Liu occasionally turned her head and cried even more when she saw her daughter-in-law so proud, and scolded quickly and urgently, "I am so filial to my son, and I have only been separated for a few days, and I have become like this, that is, I was abducted by you, a little girl who does not lay eggs..."
As a result, as soon as she said this, without waiting for Chunni to get angry, Liu Housheng's face was even darker, and he tried his best to correct his daughter-in-law's name, "Mother, how can you talk like that!" If it weren't for the fact that you said that you would have to spend more money on adding children to your family, and that we would have to delay it for two years, we would have both children and daughters now. Chunni married into our family, and she did the most work inside and out, not to mention adding three feet of new flower cloth to her, even her dowry was also looted by you who even wanted to rob..."
Once Liu Housheng rebelled against his parents, he really let go, and told all the hardships and grievances suffered by his daughter-in-law in the past, and everyone who was already ashamed to hear it shook their heads and frowned.
Chunni burst into tears, holding Pu Cao's arm and choking quietly, "Pu Cao, he knows, he knows..."
Pucao patted her on the back and persuaded in a low voice, "Don't cry, it's going to be a good day in the future." ”
Sister-in-law Chen and Dong Si's daughter-in-law also gathered around with envy and emotion to comfort them, for women, what is more grateful to them than their husband's understanding and maintenance.
The old couple of the Liu family pointed to the sky and scolded the earth, as if they had been greatly wronged, and pulled the old man Dong and Uncle Chen to comment.
It's a pity that no one is a fool, how can he help them to spill their son's money. Old man Dong is fine, but he laughs and shirks a few words. Uncle Chen told the truth, "The last time I gave birth to a son and fell my leg, I remember that you said that you have separated the family and can't take care of it." Now that they have a son and earn money, they are also younger. If it is delivered to you, how will they live? When you are someone's father, you can't be too partial. ”
After the old man said this, his eyes glared at Liu Shuisheng, staring at him so much that his face was red, and he reluctantly stepped forward to persuade his father, "It's not easy for the eldest brother, let's go home first." ”
"Back to what? You don't want to marry a daughter-in-law anymore? Mrs. Liu slapped her youngest son away and scolded loudly, "If you don't take the silver, how can you buy a dowry, do you want to beat a bachelor?" ”
The old lady was anxious to leak the truth, and everyone pouted. Just now, he kept saying that he wanted to take charge of the money for the eldest son, but he didn't expect to cheat the money to marry the younger son. This is really biased to the sky! Even this Liu Shuisheng is also a conscienceless, on the surface, he doesn't seem to dare to disobey his parents' orders, and he doesn't take advantage of it in a muffled voice?
Liu Shuisheng was even more embarrassed by everyone, and he couldn't care about his father and mother, so he wanted to leave quickly when he walked to the door in a few steps.
But he didn't think that his hand was not halfway out, but the door was vigorously pushed open from the outside, and he took a few steps back with a bang, and fell with the unscrupulous father and mother.
Mrs. Liu was bowing her head and twisting her nose, and suddenly she was knocked into a stumbling position, thinking that the eldest child was very angry, and immediately cried, "Everyone look at it, this unfilial beast is going to beat his father..."
Chen Lizheng took a few old men into the door, stretched out his hand and patted the snow particles on his head, and the corner of his eyes swept to Pu Cao standing at the door of the inner room with a smile, his face was relaxed.
Li Siye, who was standing behind him, was Xu Yes; Walking too quickly on the road and falling, half of his body was covered with snow marks, Dong Si stepped forward to help pat it clean, Liu Housheng and others also quickly gave up their seats and respectfully invited the elders to take their seats.
Zhang Er, his wife and the three members of the Liu family were a little stupid when they saw everyone busy, and muttered in their hearts who would invite Lizheng? Is it that Li Zheng is also going to take care of the family affairs?
Chen Lizheng had a gloomy face, raised his hand and took a sip of hot tea, and then asked slowly, "What is this all about, and it is not easy to be idle in the winter?" ”
Second Uncle Zhang was afraid that others would steal the conversation and say that he was not, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Lizheng, it's all a trivial matter, but just close the door and talk about it." How did this toss you and a few elders, it's really undeserved. ”
Chen Lizheng raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer his words, turned to look at Pu Cao, who was standing behind the crowd, and asked gently, "Pu Cao, but you want someone to invite us?" If you have anything to discuss with your elders, just tell us quickly. (Severe Carvin, the top of the head is also numb, and the flowering period is trying to smooth out the plot.)
