Chapter 53: The Turmoil of Family Separation
Mingyue said to Xu Jinniang, who was worried, "Mother, don't go out, stay in the house with my brother, I'll just go out." With that, he got up and went out.
Xu Jinniang grabbed Mingyue's arm, with a worried face, Mingyue patted Xu Jinniang's hand comfortingly, and comforted, "Don't worry, Yue'er can handle it." Xu Jinniang let go of her hand, and there was still uneasiness in her eyes.
When Mingyue went out, Mrs. Ming was still patting her thighs and crying for her mother, and Old Man Ming was sitting on the side, with a gloomy face, and he didn't intend to stop it.
Liu Shi and Minghui Mingkang sat in the corner, not daring to make a sound, Ming Wenli sat on the bench, Mrs. Ming was so crying and making trouble that she was just about to hang herself, where could Ming Wenli argue with Mrs. Ming, her eyes looked at the ground in front of her without focus, her face was full of pain, but she was helpless.
The entire cave was filled with the cry of Mrs. Ming, and even the little white wolf who was still wandering at Mingyue's feet before was afraid that he couldn't stand this cry and ran away without knowing where to go.
Mingyue walked to the bench in front of the table and sat down, and only then did she say coldly to the old man Ming who was constantly smacking the dry tobacco pouch in front of him, "Master, let's divide the family." ”
It's just that the voice of this old lady crying is too loud, completely covering up Mingyue's voice.
Mingyue frowned a little bored, looked around, then took a bowl on the table, snapped, and threw it on another bowl on the ground, the sound of the two bowls colliding and shattering finally attracted everyone's attention, and Mrs. Ming, who was crying, was also frightened by the sudden movement to stop crying, and looked at Mingyue's side.
Seeing that it finally quieted down, everyone looked at themselves, and Mingyue spoke up again, "Master, let's split up." ”
Old Man Ming couldn't help frowning when he heard Mingyue's words, and didn't answer immediately.
Mrs. Ming's eyes flashed, doesn't this division of the family mean that you have to divide the silver and food, and she said in her heart that this girl is very calculating, and she has already begun to scold, "I'm not dead yet, you are going to make a family split, you unfilial dead girl, do you want to curse me to death." ”
Mingyue sneered, how could she not understand what the old lady Ming had in her heart, and said in a cold tone, "You can move everything, move the grain, take the silver, and leave this cave to our mother and son." ”
Ming Wenli raised his head and looked at Mingyue in surprise, "Yue'er, don't mess around." ”
Mingyue looked at Ming Wenli, "Fourth uncle, I'm not messing around, it's good to divide the family, our mother and son don't want anything, our share should be regarded as alimony for grandma's filial piety." ”
Mingwenli listened to Mingyue's words, how could he not understand Mingyue's meaning, I was afraid that he was completely chilled, and he planned to clear up the relationship, but these were obviously earned by Mingyue's hard work, but he didn't want anything, how could this be? How can he be at ease?
Mrs. Ming muttered, "Don't you still want this cave, and you don't want anything, this cave can be cultivated like this, or is it the result of everyone being busy for so long!" ”
Ming Wenli's eyes when he looked at Mrs. Ming suddenly became strange, and he couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "That's the case, then divide it, I don't want anything, I also have a share of this cave, so I'll stay in this cave, and take the rest of my parents away." ”
At this time, Ming Laosan also chimed in, "We don't need it, this cave is very good to live in, and you can live hunting." ”
Mingyao also spoke up, "I also think this cave is very good, Dad, let's stay too." ”
Mrs. Ming pointed at everyone angrily, "You, you unfilial sons, are angry with me......"
Old Man Ming watched the reactions of several sons, and finally compromised, and said loudly, "Okay, this is one hundred taels, the third daughter-in-law, you and the second daughter-in-law will work together to make Luo Yue's marriage, and put aside the matter of repairing the house for the time being, and talk about it when the Yue's family affairs are over." ”
Mrs. Ming said dissatisfiedly, "How can this matter of repairing the house be delayed, we are still waiting to move down the mountain to live." ”
"Shut up." Old Man Ming's roar finally frightened Mrs. Ming, and Mrs. Ming stopped talking.
Mingyue sighed in her heart, it seems that the separation is going to be in the soup.
Sure enough, Old Man Ming said loudly, "Don't mention the matter of separating the family anymore, it's all gone, what should I do, the third daughter-in-law, clean up the table and the ground." With that, he went into the house with a dry cigarette.
Mrs. Ming was still muttering something dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say it too loudly.
A farce came to an end like this, Xu Jinniang was in the house, and she also heard it, she was satisfied with the marriage that did not divide the family, and the old man gave one hundred taels of silver to Zhang Luo Mingyue.
Mingyue was a little helpless, but also a little moved, in this family, although there are such two superb old people, but there are still so many heart-warming concerns.
Liu cleaned up the table and the dishes and chopsticks that fell on the ground, Mingkang obediently went over to help, and Minghui followed Mingyao to the lake with torches to fetch water.
Boss Ming, the third elder Ming and Ming Wenli sat on the edge of the fire burning in the courtyard outside, and they were all silent and did not speak.
Mrs. Ming went back to the house, lay down on the bed in Datong, and muttered in a small voice scolding and scolding, of course, there would be no good words, nothing more than scolding them for being mother and son, and scolding several sons for being unfilial and unconscionable.
Xu Jinniang also lay on the bed with Mingyang in her arms, listening to Mrs. Ming's abuse silently, Mingyue stood at the door and watched, but finally did not enter the house, and went to sit down next to the fire in the yard.
Boss Ming looked at Mingyue, who was sitting opposite him, and said softly, "Grandma is old, and some things are not thoughtful enough, Yue'er should not be like them." ”
Mingyue sighed and said, "Yue'er is about to get married, and the most reassuring thing is her mother and younger brother, her father is gone, her mother is helpless, and her younger brother is young. ”
Mingyue paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Mingyue asks the third and fourth uncles of the eldest uncle to take care of my mother and younger brother when Mingyue is away. ”
Ming Wenli looked at Mingyue distressedly, and responded, "Yue'er, don't worry, the fourth uncle will definitely take care of the second sister-in-law and Xiaoyang." ”
Mingyue said softly, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle." ”
Boss Ming also said, "Don't worry, Yue girl, although the uncle is illiterate, he is not a bastard." ”
Ming Laosan sighed and patted Mingyue's head, "Don't worry." ”
Mingyue said, "With the care of the uncle, the third uncle and the fourth uncle, Mingyue is relieved." ”
At this time, it was quiet, everyone was not talking, the atmosphere became very depressing, and it was only in the house that Mrs. Ming did not hear the abuse, and Mingyue greeted and went into the house to sleep.
Since this farce, Mrs. Ming has lost a good face to Mingyue, and when she saw Mingyue, she scolded Mingyue with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes, which made Mingyue bored but helpless.
After that, Mingyue stayed at home for less time, most of the time stayed at Zhang Langzhong's house to study the traditional Chinese medicine here, of course Zhang Langzhong would not hide his secrets, all the books in the house were found for Mingyue to read, Mingyue has something not to understand, as long as he knows, he will also teach him.
Mingyue also began to seriously think about Li Yun's leg disease, and asked Zhang Langzhong about Li Yun's leg disease that he had seen in the past few days, and Mingyue probably had a direction, it was very likely that something was compressing the leg nerves, but her legs had been unconscious.
Mingyue analyzed Li Yun's opinion on Li Yun's condition to Zhang Langzhong, Zhang Langzhong didn't understand it very well, Mingyue explained it to Zhang Langzhong in detail, but it gave Zhang Langzhong a further cross-field understanding of medical skills.
There are only four or five days left before Mingyue gets married, and because of Xu Jinniang's relationship, Mingyue has to stay at home obediently to get married.
The matter of getting married, with Xu Jinniang and the Liu family in charge, basically don't have to worry about Mingyue, in fact, even if Mingyue wants to worry about it, she doesn't understand anything, everyone else is busy, this Mingyue is idle.
Ming Lao usually does not dare to go outside, the range of activities is generally in the yard, in order to stay away from Mrs. Ming's magic sound devastation, so Mingyue followed a few children every day to mingle, outside to teach a few children archery and boxing, go into the water to fish, teach them to swim.
Except for Mrs. Ming's dissatisfied abuse from time to time, life is good; Of course, Mingyue didn't forget what she promised the fourth uncle before, and taught the fourth uncle Mingwenli to take the grapple.
The little white wolf is now quite familiar with Mingyang, since he found that the little white wolf will not hurt Mingyang, Mingyue no longer cares, and the little white wolf will disappear from time to time for a day and a half, and go out to hunt and feed his stomach.
Since knowing that this little white wolf would hunt and feed itself, Mingyue no longer cared about the little white wolf, except for Mingyang who shouted to feed it from time to time.
Mingyue's family affairs, with the lessons of Ming Meimei's family affairs last time, plus because of the relationship on the mountain, he didn't plan to set up a banquet, everything was simple, so there was not so much to prepare, the dowry was ready, and the Ming boss and the third Ming in the family were idle, so they were called by Ming Wenli to continue to build traps and other fortifications around the cave.
Mrs. Ming saw that Mingyue was idle every day, so she made up her mind, and suddenly became kind and said, "Moon girl, why don't you go to the mountains for a walk?" I'll ask your fourth uncle to accompany you. ”
Before Mingyue could answer, Mingwenli, who had just entered the door, said, "Does my mother want me to go with the moon girl to die?" Do you know how many beasts we encountered last time we went into the mountains? Not to mention the leopards that were carried back, the blind bears who were several people tall chased us all the way, as well as the ferocious big insects and poisonous snakes that would attack. If it weren't for the little beast that my mother called away every day to help kill the poisonous snake, I would have died of snake venom. ”
Mrs. Ming was also frightened when she heard Ming Wenli's words, and said stupidly, "I'll just talk about it." ”
Mingyue chuckled, went out, and helped the uncle set a trap, why didn't she understand in her heart, the greedy milk was afraid that she was not satisfied, and she thought that she would go into the mountain and dig a few more ginseng roots.
Ming Wenli didn't know anything in his heart, sighed, didn't say anything more, and followed Mingyue over to help.
