Chapter 34: Something Happened

Maybe it's really the pickle business of the three rooms, and the eldest aunt learns the craft very seriously.

After finishing her studies, she bought 900 catties of cabbage in one go and pickled it in full swing. In order to have a better taste, the best autumn oil is used, the best spice and pepper are used, and even the coarse salt is the most expensive.

Ye Shi looked at it and shook his head, and tried to persuade: "It's the beginning of summer soon, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and I'm afraid that so many dishes will not be pickled." Why don't you soak a little? ”

The eldest aunt looked at Ye Shi vigilantly, and said perfunctorily: "It will take a month to get really hot, I will put more salt, and it will be fine." ”

Ye no longer persuaded him.

On the day that the eldest aunt's pickles came out of the tank, she went to the market early and occupied a stall opposite Yang Cui. She shouted when she saw people, and the price was cheaper than Yang Cui's.

Who is short of money these days, who doesn't want to save two copper plates? I heard that I tasted it at a low price, and the taste was similar to Yang Cui's, so I bought it in a swarm.

Yang Cui was very angry: his family's profits were not thick, and the capital of the eldest aunt was more reduced, what could he earn by selling? She is simply deliberately stealing business!

Zhang Cun, who was selling firewood on the side, was angry, stomped over and asked, the eldest aunt glanced at him in a hurry, and said with a smile: "You are selling firewood, how can I sell pickles to get in the way of your business?" ”

"Be a man with a conscience, you ...... like this"

Yang Cui hurriedly pulled Zhang Cun back, lowered her voice and said, "It's my eldest aunt." Trouble, where to put the Yang family's face? ”

"That's your and your mother's craft, she just learned it, and it's ......"

"Say no more!"

Carambola raised her eyes and looked at the bustling crowd in front of the eldest uncle's stall, and her expression darkened: "The day she came to study, my mother and I expected today." I just didn't expect her to lower the price and suppress people. ”

"Isn't it just a price reduction, who's afraid of whom?"

Zhang Cun put his hand in a trumpet shape to his mouth, and shouted with a loud voice: "It's cheap, it's cheap, the delicious pickles are cheap, buy a pound and get a pound free." ”

"What do you do?" Yang Cui was anxious, turned around and glared at Zhang Cun: "How can you do this business?" ”

"Why can't it? You didn't spend money to buy cabbage, but you earned a lot back a few days ago, and you are still afraid to compare the price with her? ”

Before he finished speaking, all the people who were squeezing to buy pickles on the opposite side hugged him, took out the money and squeezed it inside: "Give me two catties, no, three catties." ”

"I want three pounds too!"

Zhang Cunhuan happily helped weigh the dishes, but Yang Cui didn't move and only stared at him with his eyes: If you do this, something will happen!

As soon as the idea was finished, the white-faced aunt walked over. She sneered and asked Yang Cui: "Buy a pound and get a pound free, what do you mean?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Cui to answer, Zhang Cun grabbed the words first: "What do you mean by selling cheaply, what do we mean?" ”

The eldest aunt glanced at Zhang Cun, raised her hand and slapped Yang Cui in the face: "Let you come out to sell vegetables, not let you hook up with men." You are shameless, our old Yang family...... Ah......h

Zhang Cun pushed the eldest aunt away and blocked Yang Cui strongly.

The eldest aunt was pushed and staggered, and after standing firmly, she pounced on Yang Cui: "Even the elders dare to fight, do you still know what is the respect and inferiority of the elders and the young?" ”

Zhang Cun wanted to push her again, but Yang Cui, who was white-faced, hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Uncle, the second sister is also fourteen this year!" "She is exactly the age of her mother-in-law's family, if you pour dirty water on me, you are not afraid of affecting the reputation of the Yang family and your daughter's marriage?

The eldest aunt was stunned, she was not good at spilling in front of everyone, and she refused to let go of Yang Cui, so she knocked over the pickles in three or two times, and scolded viciously: "I will settle accounts with you when I go home." ”

The pickles were scattered all over the ground, and Yang Cui's eyes were sour just looking at it.

How can this be? How can this be?

Zhang Cun also blushed angrily, he wanted to chase after him and smash the uncle's vegetable pot, Yang Cui grabbed his sleeve and shook his head: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!"

Zhang Cunyi sat on the stone pier on the side of the road, panting unevenly with a straight face.

Yang Cui's tears also fell, she sat on the stone pier for a long time, and then turned her head to look at Zhang Cun: "I am a person who has a bad reputation, and I have to know shame when I listen to it." Zhang Cun, can you not quietly follow me home in the future, can you find a new place to sell firewood? ”

Zhang Cun looked up at her suddenly, with a shocked and hurt expression on his face.

Yang Cui couldn't see that he was being bullied, so she got up and fled with an empty basket. Zhang Cun suddenly got up to chase, but stopped with his fists clenched.

If the name is not right, it will not be good, what can he do if he catches up? Even if Yang Cui doesn't drive him away, what can he do?

Yang Cui ran away in a hurry, but did not go home, she hid in the back mountain alone and cried, crying heartbreakingly, liver and intestines.

When he finally adjusted his mood and went back, he pushed open the courtyard door and received a slap in the face: "The dog thing that spoils the family style, do you still have the face to come back?" ”

Yang Cui was knocked to the ground, her head hitting the wooden basin, and blood ran down her face.

She staggered to her feet, craned her neck to look at her angry uncle, at the palm he had just slapped her.

Ye came over to help Yang Cui, and glanced at the eldest uncle with a dark face: "If you don't ask three or four, you will beat someone, if you really don't feel sorry if you are not your own child?" ”

"Shouldn't she be taught a lesson?"

"What does she look like? She ......"

Seeing that the faces of the family members had changed, Yang Laosan hurriedly glanced at Yang Cui comfortingly, and then pulled the corner of Ye's clothes and said, "It's all beaten, let's talk about things first." ”

Ye Shi glared at Yang Laosan, but in the end he still accepted the words behind him, and turned to ask Yang Cui: "What is the matter between you and the kid who sells firewood?" ”

When she was beaten, Yang Cui guessed that things would be like this, and sure enough!

She didn't answer A-Niang's words, and looked up at the high-flying uncle: "Are you happy if you forced me to death, what do you want me to do with Zhang Cun?" ”

The blood on her forehead flowed Yang Cui's face, and Ye wanted to help her wipe it, but Yang Cui raised her hand and refused.

She looked at the eldest aunt coldly, and asked her coldly, "Aren't you sorry?" I learned my mother's craft, but I sold pickles at a lower price opposite my stall, how can you do it? ”

Looking at Yang Cui's bloody face, the eldest aunt was a little unbearable, but Yang Cui poked this thing out, but she couldn't tolerate it anymore. So he stiffened his neck and pretended to say, "Who is the blood spurting?" It's clear that I bumped into you and that kid who were not clean, and provoked that kid to smash my stall, and when it came to your mouth, I was not a person? ”

As she spoke, she sat down on the ground: "It's a pity that I was swept around by pickles, and I couldn't bear to make trouble in the market, just to save your face?" ”

The eldest uncle, who had a bad face, glared at Yang Cui warningly: "What does your eldest aunt look like, can your father and mother understand that you are covered in pickles, and she can't pour it herself?" ”

Yang Cui smiled, looked at the eldest aunt and smiled coldly: "Just for a few taels of silver, are you like this?" ”

She slowly knelt down and kowtowed to her father and mother three times, and then before everyone could understand, she had already gotten up and slammed into the stone pillar by the door: "Lying will be punished, uncle, God is watching what people do!" ”

It happened too suddenly, and by the time everyone reacted, Yang Cui had already broken his head and fell to the ground along the stone pier.

"Tsui Er ......"

Ye shouted, rushed over and hugged Yang Cui with tears on his face.

"Mother!" Yang Cui was lying in her mother's arms and smiled weakly, she held her mother's hand tightly with all her strength and said: "Don't be sad, in fact, I don't want to live for a long time, what am I doing when I am disliked and scolded by others?" ”

"No one dares to dislike you, no one dares!" Ye Shi tightly covered Yang Cui's wound with his hand, and shouted at Yang Laosan, who was in a hurry: "What are you doing in a daze?" Go find Aunt Wang, go find Aunt Wang. ”

Yang Cui pulled the hem of her mother's clothes: "Don't look for it, let me go!" ”

Tears crossed her cheeks and fell into her mouth, so bitter that she frowned: "After the incident of the Li family, anyone can point at my nose and scold." It's just that I figured out what happened, and I was also despised by others.

The matchmaker introduced me to either the lame, deaf, and blind, or let me be a house-filler and a stepmother. Am I living to be cheap? If someone treats me well, does it have to be unclear and shameless? Mother, do you know what it's like to be splashed with dirty water by your blood relatives, don't you know? ”

She whimpered and cried, wanting to lean on A-Niang's arms like this, and never have to come out again.

The house became a mess of porridge, and the eldest aunt fell to the ground and turned pale: she didn't expect things to develop like this, just for a few words and a few pots of pickles, why did it become like this?

Carambola came back with the medicine box humming a song, and when she opened the door, she bumped into Sister A lying in her mother's arms unconscious, so frightened that the medicine box was thrown on the ground.

"Sister!" Her body was all soft, and her hands were shaking when she ran over to check the pulse of star fruit.

Fortunately, the wound looked scary and didn't hurt the vital point.

She quickly bandaged Sister A's wounds, and helped A-Niang carry Sister back to the house to settle them, and then asked with a straight face: "Did the beast of the Li family really do it?" ”

The Ye family glared at the eldest aunt who was still soft on the ground with hatred, and snorted with his nose: "If it is really the Li family, it will not be so cold." ”

Grandma immediately threw the basin, pointed to the tip of the uncle's nose and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The eldest aunt only cared about tears and refused to say a word.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, the old woman will go to the set and ask by herself. There are so many small stalls and vendors at the entrance of the vegetable market, I don't believe that I can't find two people who know. ”

Grandma turned around and left, so anxious that the eldest aunt crawled over and hugged Grandma's leg: "Mother, I was wrong." It's not that Cui'er is indecent, it's not that Cui'er and people will be beaten by wild boys, it's me, it's my own lard that blinds my heart......"

Grandma slapped her over, glaring at her and unable to say a word.

The eldest uncle, who had slapped Yang Cui before, was also stunned, he looked at the big paralyzed blood on the ground in a daze, and found an iron pickaxe to smash the eldest uncle's pickle jar.

The eldest aunt knelt on the ground and trembled, she repeated repeatedly: As for it? Is that all? It was rumored all over the village that she was not clean, and she didn't look for death, what did I do because I was going to die or live if I said a word? Yang Cui, I haven't offended you, don't hurt me, don't ......

The vat shattered in front of her, and the porcelain pieces hit everywhere, and the eldest aunt was so frightened that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to hide, and never go out again.
