Chapter Twenty-Three: The Best Mother's Home
Here, Zhong Xiaoshu and Yin Zhige returned home, and the family brought out the food and was about to eat, when they heard someone shouting outside the house: "Xiaoshu, are you at home, I saw you with your sister!" ”
Zhong Xiaoshu frowned, according to the memory of the original owner, this voice belonged to her mother Zhang Cuiyun.
According to the impression of his biological mother and sister in his memory, there must be nothing good about these two people suddenly coming to the door at this time.
Before Zhong Xiaoshu could speak, Yin Zhige's mother Guo Shi opened her mouth and asked, "Is it from the in-laws?" ”
Sister-in-law Wang also followed: "Listen to this sound like yes." There was a bit of resentment in her tone, and she still remembered that the Zhong family had deceived her of the twelve taels of silver.
Outside, Zhang Cuiyun and Zhong Xiaodi's voices were getting closer and closer, "Xiaoshu, in-laws, are you at home?" ”
Zhong Xiaoshu was helpless, so he had to put down his rice bowl and said to everyone: "It's my mother who is here, I'll go out and have a look, you can eat first." ”
When the in-laws come to the door, who can eat by themselves without caring about themselves, and everyone in the family has put dishes and chopsticks.
"Yo, it's eating!" Zhang Cuiyun saw that no one answered her, and before Zhong Xiaoshu went out to pick her up, she took the initiative to push open the door of the hall, walked directly to the dining table, and said to Zhong Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, go get two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, your sister and I haven't eaten yet." ”
This anti-guest face made Zhong Xiaoshu frown.
She had the impression that her mother was quite strange, but it was also in her own home, but she didn't expect her to be too thick-skinned when she went to someone else's house.
If it weren't for the original owner's own mother, she would have wanted to pretend she didn't know.
"Why are you stunned, go quickly! You're a dead girl, you won't know your wife when you get married, right? Zhang Cuiyun saw Zhong Xiaoshu standing still and didn't move, and pinched her arm in displeasure.
Zhong Xiaoshu turned his head to look at Zhang Cuiyun, and his tone was a little stiff: "Mother, I didn't know you were coming, I didn't cook your meal." ”
"Then do it again, what's the matter, I'm your mother, I gave birth to you and raised you so big, I can't eat you a meal?" Zhang Cuiyun unceremoniously fiercely murdered Zhong Xiaoshu, as if what was in front of her was not her daughter, but her family's slave.
Yin Zhige also felt it, and his brows furrowed, his mother-in-law was angry with Xiao Shuyi in front of her mother-in-law, and she couldn't be so arrogant at home.
Looking at Zhong Xiaoshu's expression of "although I can't help it, I must hold back", his heart was full of distress.
"You two sit and talk, I'll fry two more dishes." Yin Zhige was unhappy that Zhang Cuiyun supported Zhong Xiaoshu, but he was an elder, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to get up and go to the kitchen.
Zhong Xiaoshu grabbed her arm and stopped him: "You don't have to go, our family is so poor, and there is nothing to give them food." ”
Then he looked at Zhang Cuiyun again: "Mother, if you have anything, just say it." "She didn't believe they had come all this way just to get a meal.
Zhong Xiaodi was so angry that he pointed his finger at her on the side: "Zhong Xiaoshu, why did you talk to your mother?" ”
Zhong Xiaoshu sneered: "I have always had clear grievances, others are good to me, I am ten points to others, and others are bad to me, and I will never accept it." From the moment you drugged me and asked me to marry instead of Zhong Xiaodi, you are no longer relatives in my heart. ”
"You ......" Zhong Xiaodi's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say to refute for a while.
She never expected that her ugly and cowardly sister would suddenly become so sharp and sharp that she would dare to raise the bar with her. She's going to be!
"Zhong Xiaoshu, I think you are impatient, don't you, how do you talk to your sister, you want to go to heaven if you are not used to it for a few days, don't you?" After all, Zhong Xiaodi is a young girl and cares about face, Zhang Cuiyun is purely a middle-aged shrew, while scolding, she raised her hand and wanted to hit Zhong Xiaoshu.
Yin Zhige couldn't watch Zhong Xiaoshu being beaten, and grabbed Zhang Cuiyun's wrist: "This is in my house, Xiaoshu is my daughter-in-law, who allowed you to beat my daughter-in-law in front of me?" ”
"I ......" Yin Zhige is tall and big, because of *** life, the muscles on his body are strong and strong, at this time, just simply grabbing Zhang Cuiyun's wrist has already made her feel the power contained in his body, where does she dare to fight Yin Zhige, her momentum instantly weakened, and her voice is not as confident as before: "Can't I teach my daughter a lesson?" ”
But having said that, Zhang Cuiyun still put down his palm.
Zhong Xiaoshu took a deep breath on the side and asked again, "What is the matter with you?" If you have something to say, it's okay, please go back. ”
Zhang Cuiyun saw that Yin Zhige was not good at stubble, and knew that this meal would not be able to be rubbed, so he simply explained his intention directly: "Your father's foot is broken, and he needs two taels of silver to heal his feet." ”
Sure enough, I came to ask for money, it seems that the novels I read in modern times were not in vain, and the strange mother's family had no other routine than asking for money.
Zhong Xiaoshu's face turned cold: "Didn't the Yin family just give twelve taels of silver as a dowry not long ago, could it be used up so quickly?" ”
Twelve taels of silver, that is the living expenses of the poor family in this neighborhood for nearly a year, and it has only been more than a month since the Yin family was hired, so she didn't believe that the money was gone so quickly.
Zhang Cuiyun shouted: "The twelve taels of silver, it will cost you a lot of dowry, and there is a large family to eat, how long can it be spent!" ”
When Zhong Xiaoshu heard this, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth.
This Zhang Cuiyun really dares to say, her dowry?
The Zhong family didn't buy her any dowry at all, just a quilt of flowers, or refurbished with old cotton wool that had been covered before, and the wedding dress she wore on the day of her wedding was also the cheapest fabric used.
Zhong Xiaoshu walked to the bedroom, took out the quilt and wedding dress from the cabinet, and said to Zhang Cuiyun: "These are all my dowry, you said that it cost a lot of silver, right, then you can take these back and sell them, it is enough for my father to treat his illness!" ”
"Why are you like this!" Zhang Cuiyun looked at Zhong Xiaoshu with wide eyes and disbelief, she couldn't believe that her second daughter, who had always been cowardly and obedient, had suddenly become so smart!
How much money can this thing sell, the wedding dress is only made of the cheapest linen, it cost less than ten copper plates, not to mention the quilt, which was renovated with the old cotton wool before, and it cost a little money to play cotton manually, but only two copper plates!
She doesn't even want this bit of stuff to her, not to mention how much it can be sold for, I'm afraid no one will buy it at all!
