57, brothers
Xie Wang hasn't spoken yet, Xie Xuan was laughed at by the scoundrel Li Er, she hasn't forgotten the last time the two of them and Wu Qingxi teamed up to beat her!
Those two hot slaps still think about it, and there is still a faint pain on his face.
"Yo, I don't think I'm here to help my family, but to enjoy my family!" Xie Wang sneered twice, "I can't afford to eat chicken, duck and fish at home, so I have to prepare it for you?" Do you want my family to help, and you have to provide good meat and wine every day? ”
Li Lao Er had a hippie smile: "Look at what you said, auntie, where can you eat like this every day?" Just eat like this every other day! ”
Xie Wang's face darkened, and he couldn't care about his face: "I said eldest nephew, you have a flea face - such a big face, how dare you think about it!" If I really ask you to help for two days, I will pay you wine and meat every day, your abacus is ringing, but it is a pity to break the jar and make tiles - it is not cost-effective! Dig up the meat to mend the sores - you can't draw it! Let's braised tofu with cabbage - no one touches anyone's light! Go home, we can't afford to help!" ”
Xie Xuan was completely impressed by her grandmother, this string of words was really crisp and spicy, and the Li brothers were so boring.
Seeing that Li Lao Er was about to say something again, the boss Li Changhe hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and scolded: "What do you want to eat and drink, the two bowls of soup at home didn't block your mouth?" said that he came to help the uncle and aunt's family, but he came to work honestly, but he didn't come to enjoy the blessings! ”
He smiled at Xie Wang's family and said: "Auntie, you know, this brother is a bad guy, but he doesn't have any bad intentions, you just don't pay attention to him!" Where do my uncle and eldest brother work? The three of us brothers just go straight to it! ”
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Li Changhe was accompanied by a smiling face, and Xie Wang's was not good for a while, so he had to say lightly: "They are all working with workers on the Zhuangzi!" Sincerely come to help, and I will take you. However, the wages are the same as the workers, my family's Qiu Niang's son-in-law and brother also work in the Zhuangzi, everyone eats and lives the same, but there is no wine and meat to pay you filial piety! ”
"Auntie is laughing! We are just like them, what kind of wine and meat do you want! Li Changhe's posture was very low, accompanied by Xiao Qinqin, and kept saying soft words.
Xie Wang saw that Boss Li still knew some advances and retreats, so he went to the kitchen to boil water and refill tea for them.
Xie Xuan pulled Zhou Qin and the two to play in the hall, and wanted to take the opportunity to listen to what they had to say.
Hui Niang coaxed Sheng Lin'er and put it into the east ear room, so that Li Ying and Li Lian could watch it. I walked to the hall and called Li Changping, who was sitting there, to come out.
When Li Changwei saw it, he stopped the third child and smiled at Hui Niang: "Brother and sister, if you have anything to say, let's say it generously, it's all adults, and it's not the youngest daughter's family, why do you still ask Changping to go out and whisper!" He deliberately ridiculed Hui Niang, wanting her to be shy and retreat, for fear that Changping's honest pimple would be asked by Xie Huiniang, so he poured beans into the bamboo tube and said everything.
"Second brother, we husband and wife talk about ourselves, don't worry about it!" On her own turf, Xie Huiniang didn't feel sorry for him in her heart, and turned her head and called her husband: "Changping, come here, I'll have a few words with you!" ”
Seeing that there was no reason to stop it, the Li family brothers glanced at Li Changping again and again, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Li Changping came out on the deadline, and said with a smile to the flattering Chao Huiniang: "Huiniang, why don't you run back to your parents' house without saying a word, I will go back to the house to see that you are not there, and you are anxious like something......
Hui Niang was beaten by her mother-in-law at Li's house, and she was angry, where could he be smoothed out by saying one or two words in a low voice, and sneered: "Li Changping, don't pretend to me, leave your flattering face to your mother!" Let me ask you a question, what do you three brothers want to do when you come to my house? ”
Although Li Changping is as soft as snot and thick as sauce in front of others, Hui Niang has always saved him two faces, and he really acted as a man in front of Hui Niang's mother and daughter. Seeing that Hui Niang no longer saved face for him today, and his words were hard, he felt that Hui Niang had changed and become unvirtuous, so he became indignant:
"Hui Niang, why are you talking to me like this, you weren't like this before. Dare to love is really your family rich, don't take our Li family and don't take me in your eyes? It seems that what my mother said is not bad......"
As soon as she heard this, Hui Niang trembled angrily, her thin yellow face turned blue, and she pointed at her husband and scolded:
"Your father and mother scold you all day long, I only say that you are too honest, who knows that you are not only a nest, but also a fool! You are looking at the sky with your ass - there are eyes without beads, dogs eat pig shit - no distinction between good and bad, star anise fell into the dung pit - the smell is not distinguished! You can't tell who is good to you, and you can't protect your wife and children, but I say that I have become fast! When my mother tore me and my daughter, where did you go? Our mother and daughter have no food to eat at home every day, why don't you even dare to fart? At this time, where did you get the face to say that I didn't have a good voice for you?! ”
Xie Xuan had already paid attention to the movement here, and secretly followed over to listen.
Hui Niang's words came into her ears, Xie Xuan had to smack her tongue, sure enough, she was the daughter of Xie Wang's family, even if she was forced to be in a hurry, she would bite.
"I ...... I...... She's my mother! What else can I do? Can I beat her up? Li Changping was speechless by Xie Huiniang's words, and took out the old saying to resist.
"Of course you don't dare to fight! You don't even dare to say a word back! Hui Niang sneered, "You can only let your wife and children be angry, hungry and cold every day, and now, we finally can't stand it anymore, you run over and accuse me of changing!" It's become unvirtuous! ”
As she spoke, Xie Huiniang's eyes were red, "If you have a good life, even if you are poor and hard, I can accompany you to live a good life." It's just that they are busy working every day, and the family is also happy, as if they are in the Li family, and they can't see hope all day long, and they can't see any hope, and they have consumed people into something......"
Li Changping opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. He himself grew up at home since he was a child, and Li Zhang's family has always beaten and scolded their brothers since they were children, and they have long been accustomed to it, which father and mother have never beaten their son when they were young? Li Zhang's harsh criticism of his daughter-in-law, he also knows it, but his mother's authority is getting deeper and deeper, where can he dare to say a word for his wife and daughter? In order to avoid disputes, it has always been for wives and daughters to give in and be patient.
This time, Hui Niang finally couldn't bear it, and said these words to him, where could he not be moved?
"Hui Niang, you...... You've suffered, I know that. Let's get back...... I must ......" Li Changping wanted to give Hui Niang a guarantee, but "certainly" for a long time, he couldn't say what he could guarantee? Can you guarantee that his mother will no longer criticize Hui Niang and her children? Can he guarantee that his mother will beat and scold Hui Niang in the future, and he can stand up to his mother and protect them?
Hui Niang saw that he had no follow-up for a long time, and her heart finally became cold.
"Changping, let's not talk about this for now!" She said in a light tone, "You and I both know that my father and mother don't have such a good heart, so let your three brothers come to my house to help." Tell me the truth, what are you guys doing today? ”
Li Changping hesitated for a while, and picked and chose what his father said at breakfast: "Dad said that we are idle at home, and there is no farm work to do in winter...... Since the Zhuangzi of the family recruits short-term workers, the wages given are also sufficient, and it is not better to take care of their relatives if they give it to others...... So we came. ”
"Is that really all?" Hui Niang looked at him suspiciously.
Li Changping is not a habitual liar, he blushed his neck and said, "What else can it be?" What can we do here? The family has money, can we come to the family to grab money? ”
Hui Niang glanced at him coldly: "Don't just blush at your wife, but be kind to others." The family is talking about the wind in their ears, the outsiders are talking about the golden scriptures, and the ill-intentioned people are telling two words, and you will run over in a hurry. Someone who is good to you, a sincere word, but you don't listen, and you think of the goblin as a bodhisattva - there is no distinction between good and evil. ”
Li Changping was rarely reprimanded by Hui Niang, and he used to admonish him to speak softly and slowly, with a good voice, how could he have stabbed him in the face so bluntly? Yes, he stiffened his neck, full of unconvinced.
Hui Niang glanced at the hall, Li Changhe and Li Changwei sat on chairs, stretched out their heads to look at this side, and said to her husband: "In the Li family, have you suffered less?" When the good things are not divided, the bad ones are thrown to you! You're not being used as a gunman, so grow your heart! "Anyway, ignore him and go to the kitchen to help my mother.
Li Changping went back to the house in a daze, and the eldest and second child asked him what he wanted, but he only said nothing.
Xie Wang's refilled the tea for them, drank a tour, scooped up a can of ground hazelnut powder and red dates, drank a whole pot of boiling water, but couldn't pour a drop of water at the bottom, drank the belly round, loosened the belt a few times, the hazelnut and red date tea in the intestines was in the throat, and Boss Li beckoned the second child who was too lazy to move and the third child who was sitting in a daze.
Because Xie Wang said clearly, the workers all brought their own beds to lay on the floor of the Zhuangzi. They really want to help and take it with them. The Li brothers went back to pick up the covers.
The three brothers of the Li family were sent away, and the steamed egg custard in the kitchen was already steamed and old, and they were all hard, but even so, everyone ate very deliciously.
Xie Wang's family cooked again, fried bacon and cabbage, pulled noodles, and gave them to Hui Niang and a few children.
After eating, the mother and daughter sat in the east room, and Xie Wang asked Hui Niang about what happened to the Li family. Hui Niang had a lot of bitter water in her heart, where could she bear it, and slowly said it. Xie Wang's scolded while listening, and felt sorry for his daughter for a while, and regretted marrying Hui Niang to the Li family for a while, and the mother and daughter chattered until the sun went down.
When it was dark, Xie Qingshan, who was working on Zhuangzi, drove a mule cart and came back with Qiu Niang and Lin, and Xie Pingtian slept on Zhuangzi. Because Qiu Niang and the Lin family are both female dependents, they get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, and they are afraid that the road will not be safe, so they have always been escorted back and forth by Xie Qingshan or Xie Pingtian.
When the family saw each other, they were overjoyed.
Xie Wang told the three brothers of the Li family that they were going to come to the Li family to work for a short time, and Hui Niang also made it clear that her father-in-law must not have a good heart to send the three brothers to come, so it was better to refuse.
Xie Qingshan thought about it for a while, and then said, since they stated that they came to help and refused them, it would seem that their Xie family was not close to the people, so it was better to let them go to Zhuangzi, so many people watched, and they didn't believe what tricks they could come up with.
When Hui Niang saw her father say this, she had no choice but to give up, and only reminded his father to guard against Boss Li and the second child.
After speaking, everyone packed up and went to sleep.
Xie Xuan took advantage of the time to secretly pull Xie Qingshan and talk for a while in a no-man's land.
At night, Xie Qingshan slept in Xie Ping'an's house. Because of guarding the vegetables in the shed, Ping An has been sleeping in the grass shed in the vegetable field today, and the stove is still burning in the grass shed, which is warmer than at home.
Lin took Zhiyuan Zhicheng in the east wing. Li Ying, Li Lian, and Zhou Qin slept with Xie Xuan in the west ear room.
Hui Niang took Sheng Lin'er, and Qiu Niang took Zhou Hong to sleep in a room with Xie Wang's family. Because the east ear room is a pan of kang, it slips along the wall for a long time, and it also sleeps. Although the mother and daughter can see each other every month or two, they haven't gotten together like this for many years, talking affectionately and warmly, chattering about the fourth watch, remembering that there is still a lot of work to do the next day, so they barely sleep.
