Chapter Seventy-Eight: Seven Out
Fan Jin agreed to Wen's request, and Ling Sanniang and Du Dalang continued to stay in the capital. In order to be able to explain to her mother-in-law when she went back a year later, Ling Sanniang began a life of seeking medical advice.
I don't know why, she has been married to Du Dalang for almost four years, and her stomach hasn't moved at all. Du Dalang's mother, Cheng, has written a lot of letters urging her in recent years, and her words are full of dissatisfaction with Ling Sanniang. Before going home, Ling Sanniang was full of energy to conceive a child.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and when Ling Sanniang poured three bowls of bitter medicine soup into her stomach every day, Cheng took her second son and youngest son to the capital. When the three of them inquired about the Huaishu Lane rented by the Ling family, they happened to come back from buying vegetables for the Wen family.
"Mother-in-law." Seeing the familiar figure, Cheng shouted.
As soon as Wen looked up, she saw the three of Cheng's mother and son, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed the door and walked in after reacting. Seeing this, Cheng trotted up and grabbed her sleeve.
"Mother-in-law, this place is really hard to find, and I finally found you." Cheng panted.
Wen couldn't pretend not to see it now, and said with a wry smile: "Why did you come to the capital, I didn't hear you say a word before I came." ”
Cheng didn't answer her question, but beckoned to the two sons, "What are you two still doing there, hurry up and close the door." ”
Saying that, he took Wen's hand and walked in affectionately, and those who didn't know thought that Wen was the guest. Hearing the movement coming from outside the house, Ling Sanniang walked out of the house, and the moment she saw Cheng's family, her face changed, and a bad premonition surged in her heart.
As soon as Cheng entered the courtyard, the smile on his face faded, and he turned his head and asked Du Erlang, "Is the door closed?" ”
Du Erlang nodded.
Cheng looked at Ling Sanniang at this time, and said unhappily: "Why, after staying in the capital for three years, you don't take my mother-in-law in your eyes?" ”
Ling Sanniang hurriedly said: "Mother, you misunderstood, I suddenly saw you and your two younger brothers coming to the capital, and I haven't come to my senses yet." After explaining, he asked: "I don't know what happened to my mother, my second brother, and my third brother coming to the capital?" ”
Cheng snorted coldly, "What exactly am I here for, you should know in your heart." What about Da Lang, why didn't I see him? ”
Cheng's yin and yang weird tone made Wen a little angry, and just wanted to sneer at each other, but was stopped by Ling Sanniang with his eyes. Wen carried the basket into the kitchen.
Ling Sanniang said: "Da Lang is still sleeping, I'll go and tell him to get up." ”
Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, "What time is it and still sleeping, since marrying you, Da Lang has become unenterprising." It's good now, even the fame of the show on my body has been taken off, if someone hadn't told me B, I would still be kept in the dark by you. ”
Hearing the word "fame", Ling Sanniang chuckled in her heart, she pretended to be calm and said: "Mother, what do you say, the fame of the husband is naturally still there." ”
Without waiting for the Cheng clan to speak, Du Erlang on the side said sharply: "The county government has already posted a notice, you and our Du family are all fools." ”
Ling Sanniang's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to explain.
At this time, Du Dalang came out yawning, and he suddenly woke up after seeing his wife and two younger brothers.
"Mother, second brother, third brother, why are you here?"
Cheng Shi was angry when he saw his lazy appearance, and stepped forward to grab his ear and scolded: "If I don't come again, you will be wasted." ”
As he spoke, he increased the force in his hand and said, "Look at you, what time is it and you're still sleeping." After studying hard for so many years, I finally got a show, and now I have been smeared with fame, what future do you have in the future. ”
"Mother, light, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Cheng didn't feel distressed at all, but mocked: "I know it hurts in just a few clicks, so do you know that your mother and I are about to break because of your heart, your father and I have spent so much effort cultivating you, and this is how you repay us?" ”
Du Dalang didn't dare to say anything.
Cheng let go of his hand after twisting it a few times, pointed at Ling Sanniang and said: "She has been married for so many years, and she has never even laid an egg, which has made people talk a lot of gossip about our Du family, and it has caused you to lose your reputation, so don't want such a harmful spirit." Today you have to give me a clear word, whether to stay in the capital or go back with me. ”
Du Dalang stared at his old lady with wide eyes, and Cheng held his arms and tilted his head to one side. Du Sanlang said impatiently on the side: "Big brother, be happy, hurry up and choose." ”
Du Erlang also said: "Big brother, if I were you, I would choose to go back with my mother." ”
Du Dalang glanced at his two younger brothers and did not say anything.
Ling Sanniang was a little annoyed, pointed at Du Erlang and said, "Second brother, I don't think I have offended you, why did you break up me and Dalang?" ”
Du Erlang said disdainfully: "You haven't offended me, but because of you, how much criticism our Du family has suffered, whether it is for the sake of our Du family's descendants or for the future of my eldest brother, we must divorce you." ”
Wen hid behind the door and eavesdropped, and couldn't help jumping out after hearing Du Erlang's words, "Bah, what are you, you dare to divorce my daughter, and don't look at who her brother and my son are." ”
Cheng sneered, "Who in Yucheng County doesn't know that your son Ling Jiming climbed up by relying on women's nepotism, and in order to climb up to the daughter of Fan Zhi County, he would rather be a negative man who abandons his wife and daughter." ”
Saying that, he turned the topic to Ling Yuanniang, "I heard that your eldest daughter married as a widow in the capital, you said that if her current in-laws knew that she was abandoned for stealing people, would the family still want her?" ”
Ling Jiming and Ling Yuanniang are the treasures in Wen's heart, and Cheng's words poke her lungs every word. "We're talking about Sanniang and son-in-law now, don't talk about my Erlang and Yuanniang."
"Okay." Cheng pointed at Ling Sanniang and said, "Your daughter has committed seven rules since she married into our Du family, and today I want my son to divorce her." ”
"Nonsense." Wen's subconscious retort.
Cheng's example of not being in a hurry or panic: "First, if you marry into the Du family for four years and have nothing to do, this is childless; Second, the reputation of the daughter of the Ling family is damaged and criticized, which is obscenity; Third, I have never served my in-laws in the past four years, which is not an uncle; Fourth, if you want to abduct someone else's child and implicate my son, it is theft; Fifth, if you have nothing to do, you don't allow your husband to take a concubine, which is jealousy; Sixth, if you have not been born for four years and your body is weak, it is a serious disease; Seventh, the dispute between good tongues and tongues, dividing the relationship between Dalang and Erlang's brothers, this is a lot of words. ”
Every time she said a word, Ling Sanniang's face turned white. Only then did she understand that Cheng came prepared this time, and it seemed that she would not give up if she didn't stop.
She pinned all her hopes on Du Dalang, but fortunately, Du Dalang did not disappoint her.
"Mother, don't say it, I won't agree to divorce my wife." Du Dalang rejected Cheng without the slightest hesitation. Cheng's heart was suddenly upset, and he scolded: "Evil barrier, did she give you ecstasy soup, mother, it's all for your good." ”
He said smoothly: "Think about it, her eldest sister Ling Yuanniang did such an ugly thing, who in ten miles and eight towns doesn't know." Even if she Ling Sanniang has never done anything unruly, as long as she is Ling Yuanniang's sister one day, others will always wonder if you have been cuckolded, and our family can't afford to lose this person. ”
"Mother, the eldest aunt is the eldest aunt, and the third mother is the third mother, you can't confuse them." Du Dalang didn't agree with his mother talking about his wife like this, because that would also damage his face in disguise.
He was unwilling to divorce his wife, not because of how unswerving he was to Ling Sanniang, but because he considered a lot of practical issues. If he goes back with his wife like this, he will definitely be ridiculed and can't raise his head, and the wife he remarries may not have Ling Sanniang's current family background and appearance.
If you stay in the capital, in exchange for the favor and guilt of Ling Sanniang and the Ling family, maybe you can get more benefits in the future.
He made up his mind not to divorce his wife, and the Cheng family couldn't do anything about him, so after throwing away the cruel words that he didn't want to recognize Du Dalang's son anymore, he took the other two sons away angrily.
After the mother and son left the Ling family, they forgot how to go back to the inn because they were angry, and wandered around the alley for a long time before they got out smoothly. After returning to the inn, the Cheng family still couldn't swallow this breath, "I don't believe that I can't cure the Ling family." ”
She instructed her two sons: "Erlang, Sanlang, you go and inquire where the little brother who is traveling with us lives, and let him give us ideas again." ”
Du Erlang and Du Sanlang nodded in response.
