Chapter 59: The Fox's Tail

It is said that when a fox turns into a human form, there is always a time when his tail is exposed, and Zhang Laoer's words made everyone who was still confused immediately wide-eyed.

No wonder their family came uninvited, no wonder he wanted to be cheeky to envelop his nephew, it turned out that the crux of the problem was on the two words, "seeking money"!

How did he think of whitewashing this unrighteous thing so righteously, how did he pretend to be selfless and dedicated to sharing the worries of his nephew, this child's mind and face are really invincible in the world.

Zhang Guier nodded when she heard a sentence before, but later she realized that there was something wrong with the second uncle's words.

He has read books after all, and although he is a little stereotypical and pedantic, he is not stupid. Seeing that the second uncle was about to empty the house again, he couldn't help but lean back on the chair and said in a trembling voice, "Second... Second uncle, my sister-in-law Zhang Luo has these things, so I don't have to worry about the second uncle. ”

Zhang Er's eyes widened, as if this nephew had made a big mistake, and scolded, "What stupid things to say!" Which family is not headed by the elders, she is a woman's family, or your eldest brother kicked out of the house, how can she be the master of the house? Spread gossip, let outsiders know that you, a scholar who wants to take the top exam, still listen to an abandoned woman fiddling, do you still have the face to be a man? ”

He grabbed the top student in the reading exam like this and talked about things, and he really blocked Zhang Guier speechless. He had the heart to defend a few words, but he didn't know where to start, but after a while, he was so anxious that a layer of white sweat covered his head.

Uncle Chen couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't care about his son's eyes, and said loudly, "Second Zhang, what you said is unreasonable. The former prime minister was the widowed sister-in-law who did embroidery work to make money for him to study and take the top prize, and later the widow's eyes were tired and blind, and the prime minister served three meals a day in front of him, and treated him as filial piety as his mother. Who in our snow country laughed at him for obeying the woman's orders? Not everyone praises him for his kindness and gratitude.

Now that Pucao has worked hard to earn money for your brother to study, your brother will be looked down upon? To tell the truth, your brother is not a fool, he knows who is sincere and who is fake, and who has any crooked ideas. be

Isn't it, your brother? ”

The old man's words made everyone in the room nod, and Uncle Li Jiu and Fifth Uncle Kong also said, "Even if Brother Zhang is really dedicated to the good of your brother, he can't ignore Pucao's hard work these days. Now that their family has just passed, and they have a money-making business, you have taken over this mouth, if it spreads, I am afraid that everyone should say that you are an uncle's plot to make money. Besides, Li Zhenghe had already said that day that the Zhang family was made up of Pucao's family, which is afraid..."

Second Uncle Zhang originally took advantage of the wine to cover his face, so he said this cheekily, thinking about fooling his nephew to stand on his side first, Pucao is to find Li Zheng and the villagers to call the shots, and he can't stand the old Zhang family is one heart. That kind of vegetable shed, white flowers, and silver will definitely fall into his hands in the end.

It's a pity that he didn't calculate that Zhang Gui was not easy to deceive, and he didn't expect everyone to defend Pucao like this. For a while, he didn't know how to continue, so in anger, there was no door on his mouth, "What are you all doing?" Where is your turn to speak about the affairs of our old Zhang family. Do you also see that our Zhang family has made a fortune, and you all want to take advantage of it. Tell you, don't dream, it's useless to please Pucao!

This is our old Zhang family, and our Zhang family has the final say! ”

The Zhang family made a fortune, and every household in the village inevitably moved some thoughts. When I can't sleep at night, I think about getting up in the vegetable shed next year to grow vegetables, hoping that Pucao will teach everyone the tricks. Of course, this is a good thing to say, but when I think about it, there is still a suspicion of coveting other people's wealth.

But everyone spoke for Pucao just now, and it was really out of righteousness. At this time, when they heard Zhang Lao Er slandering them like this, they couldn't speak clearly, so they became even more indignant.

Uncle Chen was the first to scold, "Second Zhang, don't think that everyone in the world is the same as you." To tell the truth, we all know that we want to learn from the grass and sell it for money, and we will live a good life in the future. Let's not talk about what Pucao thinks, if she refuses to teach, none of us will have anything to say. After all, it was her hard work, it was hers, and no one could say anything wrong.

But if she is willing to teach, everyone will be grateful to her for the rest of their lives. In the future, I will pay my own money to build a shed, and I will contribute my own efforts.

It's like you, obviously you emptied your brother's family at the beginning, and you were reluctant to give up those bowls of bud porridge, and almost starved your nephew and niece to death. Now that Pucao is living a good life with her children, you come over again and shout how to love your nephew, you are not disgusting, you are really thick-skinned.

Don't you just want to invest money and work, so you want to take away someone's ready-made cornucopia? He also said that we want to take advantage, and you are the most greedy one! ”

The old man pointed at Zhang Er's nose and scolded him, he was so tired that he didn't say anything, and he scolded Zhang Er so that his face was pale. He didn't pretend to be drunk at this time, and jumped to his feet to argue, "I can see that you are changing the law and trying to provoke our uncle and nephew to make enemies." You just don't have a good heart! Brother, you say! Do you believe the second uncle, or do you believe the words of these villains? They are just jealous that our Zhang family is developed, and they are afraid that the second uncle will give you the helm, and they will have no chance to cheat money from you..."

Zhang Gui'er's brows furrowed tightly, her eyes swept over the faces of her uncle and everyone, and finally she lowered her head and remained silent.

Zhang Lao Er saw that his nephew didn't support him, so he cried even louder, and he had the posture of lifting the roof to attract the whole village to judge.

A group of old girls in the back room were talking about whose daughter-in-law had a big fat boy, and Mrs. Liu stared at Chunni's belly, her eyes were rolling around, and she was about to say something when she heard a commotion in the outhouse.

After they heard Uncle Zhang's words from beginning to end, Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Chen and the others looked at Pu Cao with a look full of pity. She is an abandoned woman with an unjustified name, it is not easy to live with three children, and there is such a family of relatives and elders who are comparable to hungry wolves next to her, it is really bad for eight lifetimes.

Pu Cao tugged at the corners of her mouth, barely squeezing out a wry smile, as if she was trying her best to endure her grievances but couldn't say much, and everyone was even more distressed, and she was comforted after patting her.

In fact, Pu Cao didn't worry about this long-expected thing at all, she only cared about one thing, that is, Zhang Guier's response. Fortunately, she listened carefully with her ears for a long time, and was sure that Zhang Gui'er did not respond to Second Uncle Zhang's sentence, so she was slightly relieved.

Second Aunt Zhang was originally at home and listened to Uncle Zhang's instructions to help, but unfortunately she was too full just now, and she almost fell asleep comfortably while lying on the hot kang.

At this time, I suddenly heard my man crying, and then I was shocked, jumped off the ground barefoot, and rushed to the outhouse to scold, "You mouthy donkeys, why do you care about my family's affairs, you have all been poured into the ecstasy soup by the little widow, and you want to drink her footwater..."

The Northeast peasant family has always been accustomed to being rough, and sometimes on the table where they eat and drink together, it is harmless for the old sister-in-law and the brother-in-law to make a joke. But it would be too bad to say that a group of men were having affairs with women, or even secretly thinking about fornication.

Most of the men in the house came with their daughters-in-law, and she scolded like this like boiling water and pouring oil on the pot, obviously looking for fried.

Second sister-in-law Chen was the first to rush out of the house, pointed at Aunt Zhang's nose and scolded, "Did you just finish eating with your broken mouth, and you dare to talk nonsense about nothing." Whoever you are a master is the same as your dog, peeking at the widow taking a bath and touching the little girl's buttocks, it's really shameless. ”

"That's it! The old eagle stands on the back of a pig, and he is black, but he wants to say that others are even darker! You should be so embarrassed by your family! ”

"If you talk nonsense, I don't care who you are, I'll tear your mouth apart." Dong's fourth daughter-in-law, Chen's sister-in-law, and Chunni also ran out later, surrounding Aunt Zhang's second aunt and eating her heart raw.

When Aunt Zhang saw that she provoked the anger of the public, she was also a little timid, her eyes rolled and she used the same trick as her own man, sitting on the ground and patting her thighs and crying loudly, "There are so many of you who bully one of our family, you are shameless, there is no justice in this world." When the uncle and aunt are better to the nephew, they will be said to make money, and they have wronged the dead..."

On the way back from the car yesterday, Pucao had already thought that there would be these follow-ups. The reason why she didn't hide the silver taels that Dong Si earned from selling vegetables was also for this reason.

She, a little woman with the name of an abandoned woman, wants to gain a firm foothold here, in addition to winning a good name, there is also one of the most important and effective ways, that is, to connect with the interests of the villagers.

Affection is the least reliable thing at any time, and only money and interests are the bonds that bind everyone firmly behind her.

If she eats meat alone, others will naturally blush. But if she gives some soup out, and even gives everyone another hope that one day they will eat meat, then when her piece of meat is coveted by jackals, a bunch of people will come forward desperately without opening their mouths.

No, Zhang Er's family came to grab the "meat", she has already received so much maintenance before she promised benefits, if everyone knows that there is a chance to make a fortune in the future, her life will be more economical.

Of course, Zhang Erjia's pustule that grows on their family, if this attack can make Zhang Gui'er completely hurt and see their true colors, it will be even better.

She leaned against the door frame to watch the excitement while her mind was turning, not only did she not have anger on her face, but even a faint smile. Chuniel, who was standing on the side, looked worried, quietly stepped forward and pulled her arm, and asked in a low voice, "Pu... Pucao, are you mad? Don't be like that. ”

"That is, we all know who you are, and there will never be any misunderstanding."

Zhang's second sister-in-law and Dong's fourth daughter-in-law also came over, staring at Zhang Er's husband and wife viciously while persuading Pu Cao, "What kind of character you have, everyone knows it in their hearts, but their family is the most famous stinky meat in the village." ”
