Chapter 6: Chen Cainu returns home
"Mother, are you worried about it again, Mu'er is marrying a daughter-in-law and not a daughter, what does the salt household have to do with us."
"The girl's family doesn't know what to say?" Su Shiniang glared at Su Mi, saw that she lowered her head and admitted her mistake, before continuing, "It's still young now, it's a little early to say this, let's take a look in a few years, Chen Yatou is a snake, three years younger than Mu'er, and her age is just right...... You dead girl, you also want to think about these things that you don't have, Chen Yatou is only six or seven years old, and she is still young. β
Su Mi just snorted and said, "The picture will be decided early, and it will be regretted if it is preempted by someone when the time comes." Seeing that Su Shiniang was glaring at her, she quickly shook the silk handkerchief and concentrated on embroidering.
When Chen Shiyou and Chen Shuang went home, he saw a small carriage parked at the door of his house from a distance, and there were many people watching.
"What's going on?" Hurriedly walked a few steps, ran over to see, a group of gorgeously dressed girls were surrounded by a girl in pink clothes, blocking the door in the noise.
"Pick a girl!" Chen Shiyou exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Cainu, the eldest girl of the Chen family, married into the county town a year ago and became a concubine for a wealthy businessman surnamed Hong, today is the first time she came home after getting married, Chen Shiyou was immediately happy, and said: "Why don't you say it in advance, there are no dishes prepared at home, why are you blocking the door, hurry in?" β
Chen Cainu's appearance follows the Yang family, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but Chen Cainu's personality is relatively weak, a pair of lips always droop slightly, and she always looks a little sad, as if crying but not crying, sometimes it is not so pleasing.
Before Chen Shiyou could get closer, the maid who came back with Chen Cainu took a step forward unceremoniously and said, "Master Chen, please avoid suspicion." β
Well, Chen Shiyou was stupid all of a sudden, this was the first time he had heard someone say that he wanted to avoid suspicion, and he was stupid at that time.
The Yang family inside heard the movement and came out to take a look, she unceremoniously took the broom out and waved it twice, and scolded directly: "The person has been delivered, you are good to go back, there is no place for you to stay in a small place in the countryside!" β
I have never heard of the truth of driving guests out, the Yang family didn't give any face, pulled Chen Cainu into the door, and then blocked the door, not letting those maids and women enter the door.
There was no way, the maids had no choice but to put down their things and explain a few words to Chen Cainu through the door, nothing more than to be disciplined, don't lose our family's face, let the countrymen look down on you and something.
Chen Cainu responded unpromisedly, and the angry Yang family raised the broom again, and finally drove away the group of maids, and turned around and scolded Chen Cainu: "Why don't you have any interest at all, and you are still climbed on the head by your subordinates when you get married, how can you be an aunt!" β
"I'm just an aunt......" Chen Cainu muttered very aggrievedly, and was glared at by Yang without saying a few words, her eyes immediately turned red, and tears turned around as if they were about to fall.
Chen Shiyou hurriedly came over to relieve the siege: "It's so easy for the big girl to go home, why do you bother to make her cry, the four girls hurry up and move your sister's things in." β
This time, Chen Cainu brought a lot of things, clothes and quilts, even there are two basins, the same fine and exquisite, completely different from the commonly used by Chen Shuang, I can see that Chen Shuangchuan is a little excited, especially there is a bronze mirror carved with a beautiful lily pattern, which is very delicate and beautiful, and Chen Shuangchuan can't help but touch and touch, very much I can't put it down.
When Yang came out and saw it, his face immediately changed, and he nervously pulled Chen Cainu to the side, and said quietly: "You plan to come back and live for a few days, why do you even bring quilts and basins, could it be...... Divorced, right? β
"Mother, what are you talking nonsense......" Chen Cainu was so frightened that she hurriedly covered Yang's mouth, and it took a lot of effort to explain clearly, this is the habit of rich people, and when you go out, you have to bring your own habitual things, and if you share them with others, it is a big thing to lose face and lose your identity, so she promised to let Chen Cainu come back and live for three days, but it was like moving with a lot of luggage.
Yang also muttered, "What kind of score do you put when you go back to your parents' house, you dead girl was spoiled by that group of rich people." β
"It's not like I'm going to be a concubine." Chen Cainu was scolded by the Yang family, and immediately felt aggrieved, and began to wipe her eyes with tears, complaining, "If you weren't ruthless, I wouldn't have fallen into that fire pit......"
"Okay, okay, married all the time, what else can I do?" Yang was most afraid that Chen Cainu would cry, so he said a word stupidly, found an excuse to cook and hurriedly ran out, leaving Chen Cainu aside.
Chen Cainu's things are too much, the Chen family's room is only two rooms, one is Chen Shunan, and the other is a large one, separated in half by a cloth curtain, with Chen Shiyou and his wife living in front, and behind is the staircase used to go up and down and the bed of Chen Caichun and Chen Shuangzhuan two sisters.
Originally, there was a small shed on the side of the main house that was Chen Cainu's room, and after she got married, Yang was disgusted with the cooking smoke, so he changed the stove there and used it as a kitchen, and all the downstairs was emptied.
Chen Cainu's original room was gone, so she could only squeeze a bed with Chen Caichun's sisters, and her things were all piled downstairs, except for a few clothes to change into, which were basically not dismantled. However, some of the meat and seafood she brought with her were still distributed in a timely manner, which greatly enriched the Chen family's dinner table, and even Chen Caichun ate the braised pork she had in mind, and happily even narrowed her eyes into two small crescents.
After eating dinner satisfied, Yang pulled Chen Cainu to gossip, and when he was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Caichun quietly told Chen Shuangchuan: "It's very strange, I looked at the clothes when the eldest sister took them, and the clothes were good, they didn't fit well, not like the eldest sister's own." β
When Chen Shuangchuan put away the cleaned dishes, he felt that his hand slipped and almost dropped a plate on the ground, so he quickly put it down, thought about it and said, "The eldest sister won't be bullied, I saw her crying just now." β
As a concubine, Chen Cainu was really bullied, at first she still held on and refused to say, but later Yang took a fancy to her carved copper basin, saying that since Chen Cainu had brought two of them, she would leave one at home for Chen Shunan to use. Chen Cainu cried out, saying that her luggage was all for faΓ§ade, and the eldest woman lent it to her, and when she went back, she would return it without landing, and if she lost a woman, she would be arrested and beaten severely.
Rolled up her sleeves and took a look, sure enough, she was full of bruises and scars, and from Chen Cainu's continuous crying, it can also be known that her life in her husband's house is really not good, the eldest woman is very fierce, beating and scolding at every turn, often can't even drink hot soup, life is miserable, if she didn't take care of the master, Chen Cainu might have been sold out a long time ago.
