91. Poor and rich

Sure enough, at noon, I drank some noodle soup casually with pickles and steamed buns, and the workers did not raise any opinions.

Because when the workers were serving the meal, Xie Wang was standing in front of another stove to fry meatballs, and the aroma of the whole house was wafting along the cold wind throughout the Zhuangzi.

The workers watched as the lump of meat fell into the oil pot, rolled over, and turned golden brown when it floated up, and the saliva in their mouths couldn't help but secrete it, and no one did not swallow it.

"Old sister-in-law, your croquette skills are high!" Zhou Laomai followed his two sons Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang to serve the meal together, and when he saw Xie Wang's croquettes, he couldn't help but praise them while swallowing his saliva.

"Lao Mai, keep your stomach, and have a good drink with Qingshan when the time comes!" Xie Wang's face was full of smiles and he greeted.

When the three fathers and sons of the Zhou family went, a few workers came one after another, and saw that on the kitchen stove, table, and cabinet, there were meat, pig offal, large intestines, as well as tofu, mushrooms, vegetables and other things.

"Yo, my mother-in-law is here too! I could smell the smell from afar, it turned out to be fried meatballs! ”

A discordant voice broke into this lively atmosphere, it turned out that the three brothers of the Li family also came over, and the second Li Changwei was like a turtle and stretched his neck to look into the oil pot, and took a deep breath of the thick aroma of hot oil and meatballs:

"It's delicious! Third brother, your daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are here, you can't eat or sleep well these days, why don't you hurry up and ask your mother to scoop a bowl of meatballs for you to make up for it?! ”

When Xie Wang and Hui Niang heard this, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, this Li Changwei has the ability to say the originally good words to make people feel awkward.

"Second brother, what kind of meatballs to eat, it's not at this moment. Didn't Dad say it, pack up your things in the second half of the day, and let's have a banquet! Li Changping smiled embarrassedly at Xie Wang's family, and said this, "Mother, my second brother is joking, don't be angry......

Xie Wang's face softened somewhat, but Hui Niang still frowned.

"You call your father and mother affectionate, I'm afraid people won't treat you as a son-in-law!" Li Changwei smiled, saw Zhou An and Zhou Quan, the brothers who came from afar, and pouted, "Look, the real son-in-law of the family is here, and I don't know how many small stoves have been opened behind the back......"

"Smack-" There was a sound of a knife slashing on the cutting board, and Qiu Niang, who was cutting shredded meat, stood up suddenly.

"The surname is Li, you have eaten feces in your mouth, or you are blinded by feces, why are you squirting feces all over your mouth?" Qiu Niang stood up with a kitchen knife, and shouted at Li Changwei with angry eyes: "When is the time to open a small stove, you can tell me!" The big pot of rice we have eaten these days, you tell me, which eye did you see us open a small stove? ”

Li Changwei saw Qiu Niang's scolding, and couldn't help shouting: "What's the matter, what's the matter, what's wrong with me kidding?" The scolding is ugly! ”

"No matter how ugly I scold, you are cleaner than your mind! You are a bone in an egg - out of nothing, a fan shakes - the wind! If it weren't for the fact that you are not straight, you are not acting properly, and your speech is ugly, who will I scold you for? Qiu Niang has always been a quick talker, where can she bear others to slander her family in person, a string of words is crisp and spicy, and the angry Li Changwei is full of purple.

"In-laws, sister, my second brother has never had a door to speak, just think he's farting, don't be like him!" Li Changhe saw that Li Changwei couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said haha to be a peacemaker.

"You are also a white-faced wolf wearing a hat - be a good person, why didn't you come forward to stop your good second brother from spewing feces all over his mouth and telling me to shout out, so you came forward to be a peacemaker!" Qiu Niang was angry, Xie Wang called her and ignored her, shouting: "Your second brother has not for three years - fecal swelling (bastard), you are a poisonous snake into the bamboo tube - pretending to be upright!" What kind of good guy?! ”

When these words came out, Li Changhe couldn't laugh anymore, and his face sank.

Li Changping was anxious and didn't know what to do, so he looked at Hui Niang for a while, and then went to persuade his eldest brother Li Changhe, and asked Li Changhe to say a few words that were neither soft nor hard, and his face was dull.

"Third brother, I see that my in-laws have finished their work, and we are not welcome, what wages do we want, what kind of banquet do we have, pack up and go home!" As he spoke, he shouted loudly to the workers around him who were avoiding suspicion:

"Big guy, look at it, the three of us brothers are kind enough to help our in-laws, and we didn't think about asking for wages at first. Who knows that after this work is done, the in-laws will see that we are not pleasing to the eye, and we are talking with soft nails, what are we still doing here, calling our relatives to give us no face? Let's go, the province is disgusting! Can you still eat this banquet in your mouth? Maybe people are cursing us behind their backs! ”

As he spoke, he looked like he was about to leave.

Boss Li is a good-looking person, and if others give him no face in public and make him unable to get off the stage, he will occupy the moral high ground, incite the emotions of the crowd, and let the other party apologize to him in person.

Only when he forgives the other party with great mercy, has his own face, and belittles the other party to the point that everyone spurns it, can he easily let the other party go.

Xie Xuan couldn't help but admire Li Changhe's methods, this person fortunately didn't go to school, this kind of mentality, if he had knowledge and fame, it would be amazing.

"Qiu Niang! Apologize to your brother Li! Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian also came over when they heard the voice, and when they heard the people around them talking, they hurriedly asked Qiu Niang to apologize.

Zhou An also hurriedly walked over, pulled Qiu Niang's arm, and gently persuaded: "Qiu Niang, listen to your father's words and apologize to Brother Li......"

"It's not something I picked up, why do you want me to apologize?" Qiu Niang looked up and held the kitchen knife, looking unconvinced, "The matter is true and false, Li Lao Er falsely accused us of opening a small stove for the family, and Li Lao Boss did not persuade his second brother, but came to pull the shelf." Although my scolding is ugly, every sentence is reasonable, he Boss Li deliberately confuses black and white, why do you want me to apologize to him? ”

After saying this, Li Changhe's face became more and more ugly, and Li Lao Er was even more about to jump up, and Li Changping was in a dilemma.

"Okay, since the in-laws don't like the three of us, what kind of banquet do we eat, what kind of wages do we want! The in-laws deliberately let the girl say this in public today, isn't it just to see that the ground house is almost completed, and there is no need for us, so I want to avoid those few taels of silver and drive us back! ”

Li Changping sneered and said loudly: "As the saying goes: Rich do not forget their roots, everyone praises the benevolence and kindness of the Xie family, I look at it, but it is all pretended, and in a blink of an eye, we will leave our poor relatives!" Okay, although our Li family is poor, but not poor in ambition, you Xie family and we can't afford to climb high, second brother, third brother, let's go! ”

This big hat was buttoned down, and the Xie family's bad reputation of "forgetting their roots when they are rich and ignoring their poor relatives" was settled.

"Uncle, what you said is a bit heart-wrenching!" Seeing that the matter could not end, Xie Xuan stood up from behind Xie Wang and sneered:

"If my family forgot their roots, knowing that grandpa sent you to Zhuangzi to steal the vegetable planting method, we would have driven you away a long time ago, why wait until today? Isn't it for the sake of your relatives? ”
