Chapter 342, Tian's pension (2)
"No, I think, if my mother knows, I'm afraid I won't agree. If I can bring my mother back to life, I will depend on you for everything. Zeng Ruixiang raised his head and said.
"But, second nephew, you are a scholar, you have always been reasonable, this matter is not your mother's fault, if it weren't for your aunt, how could you do these things? Anyone in that situation is likely to do something foolish, not to mention, your mother is just a country woman, where can you accept this for a while? This woman's jealousy is strong, and she also lost her hand for a while, forgetting that your mother is a pot-bellied woman, so this kind of thing will happen. Ota advised.
"I admit that my aunt's words have some truth, but I can't do it now as if I'm fine, and I'm still the same as before, I mistakenly treat the enemy as my mother for decades, since what my aunt said is reasonable, then the grievances will be eliminated, and in the future, the two will have nothing to do with each other. Over the years, I have raised this big family, and it is enough to pay it off. Zeng Ruixiang said.
"What else? Even if your own mother is alive, you can't call her mother, I am also your serious mother, and it is only natural for you to raise me, don't want to listen to your father's foolish words, and want to leave me from now on. Don't you want to think about it, if outsiders know, how can Zifu still be officials? Tian said.
"Mother, you have been taking this for more than 40 years, will I still be at your mercy? If you are not afraid that the eldest brother will embarrass them, let's tear our faces, I will move my mother's grave back, and see who is the last ugly? Zeng Ruixiang looked at Tian and said.
"What to move, who said that you can move? She hasn't entered the door of Zeng's house yet? Tian shouted.
"That's it, since you haven't started, my mother can't harm other people's lives and pretend to be fine. If you want us to raise you, you can do it. Find a place to reason first. Mother can think clearly, anyway, there are two door plaques given by the emperor in my house, and I am still the five-grade lady who was personally given by the emperor, and then see who is good at talking? Shen stood next to Zeng Ruixiang and said.
"Mother. Don't embarrass your second brother, I promised my father that I would take care of you. Seeing this, Qiu Yu hurriedly persuaded.
Qiuyu was right. Mother, the matter of the second brother, let the second brother think about it himself, no one can let go of the grievances so quickly. Don't worry, since I promised my father, there will always be a bite of food for you, so let's bring everything tomorrow. Zeng Ruiqing weighed it. With a stroke of his hand, he made a decision, mainly because he didn't want to offend Zeng Ruixiang.
"Mother, I'll come over early tomorrow morning to help you pack your things, don't worry. We will be filial to you. Zhou lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a happy face. Zhou suddenly thought of what the old man said, Tian had saved some silver taels in his hands in the past few years, which was enough for her to eat and drink. Since you can't push it out, it's better to have a better attitude, maybe, when the old woman is happy, she can still leave some for Ziquan.
Tian saw that Zeng Ruiqing and Qiu Yu were persuaded by Zeng Ruixiang and Shen's attitudes. I had to sigh. just insisted on going back to the school to stay for another night, and went back with his three daughters and sons-in-law, although Zhou was very reluctant, he didn't stop him.
"I think your aunt wants to calculate your grandma's little things, but it's still a little worse, I bet your grandma will send those rice, flour, grain and oil to your aunt's house tonight. Believe it or not? As for those silver taels, I'm afraid they will be handed over to your sister-in-law for safekeeping. Lin Kangping said with a smile.
"I believe, and, I think I will definitely see a lively scene when I go to the school early tomorrow morning, I'm going to sleep, and I'll send Ziyu away early tomorrow morning, so I'll pass by the school, you go too, there are a lot of things that my father has purchased." Ziqing said in a daze with a yawn.
After breakfast the next day, Ziqing hurriedly went back to her parents' house, sent Ziyu and the two out, Zeng Ruixiang said that he wanted to go to the school to see, Ziqing hurriedly said: "Dad, I'll go too, I'll accompany you, today's New Year, my mother has more things, I and Kangping accompany you." ”
"What are you going to do with all this fun? It's a mess, if you bump it, it's not fun, just let Kang Ping accompany you, we don't have much in our house. Shen said.
"Qing'er just wants to accompany me, with Kangping here, what are you worried about? It's not about going to fight. Zeng Ruixiang said.
Ziqing smiled mischievously at Shen's, Zifu also came out with Liu, Zilu took Chen, Zishou Zixi and the two, because Yang and Fu still had to breastfeed their children, so they didn't follow, it is estimated that everyone wanted to see the excitement.
Everyone entered the school, Zeng Ruiqing and Zhou had already come over, Zhou scolded in the hall, looking angry, and Tian sat on the bed and patted the bed board and cried, "How much food do I have leftover, how much do you give me a year?" Old man, have you seen it, this is the sin you created, as soon as you leave, I will be angry with the old woman. ”
Ziqing didn't see the big hair and five mao of the Chunyu family and Yan Renda, Xia Yu and Qiu Yu were accompanying the Tian family, and they were also uneven.
"Second brother, you came just in time, let's comment on this reason, when the summer harvest, we gave a year's rations to my father, this is only half a year, my mother has three or five catties of rice left, there is not a grain of rice left, there is less than half a catty of oil, there is not a grain of wheat, and half a scoop of flour is left, I just asked, did this thing send to Chunyu again, my mother began to cry, saying that I bullied her, the things I brought, gone, I asked if there is anything wrong? Mother doesn't have to hide it, everyone's hearts are like a mirror, for so many years, my mother has not sent less food to Chunyu, even the vegetables in the garden, and she can't hide it. Zhou saw Zeng Ruixiang come in and said.
It's a pity that Zeng Ruixiang has lost interest in these, and he has been tired of it again and again, and if it weren't for cleaning up the things in the school today, he wouldn't have come over.
"Ruiqing, that's your own sister-in-law, her family is in trouble now, who else can she point to? I'm just a pity for Ermao and Sanmao's remaining wives and children, and I cleaned up some rice and grain at home, how much money can I have? Tian saw Zeng Ruixiang coming, probably didn't want Zeng Ruixiang to see the joke, so he said to Zeng Ruiqing.
Zeng Ruiqing listened to it with a black face, and scolded Zhou: "You mother-in-law, what kind of good idea I said, I have to come early in the morning to find it, the thing is my mother's, I will give it to whoever I like, it's your business." Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, you still have the time to take care of this idle matter, the house at home has not been cleaned, and the things for the New Year have not yet been prepared. Hurry up and move, move whatever you have, and go home to do things. ”
Zhou muttered a few words, asked Zhou Yunjiang and Zhou Tianqing to dismantle the bed and move it away, and then looked at the pots and jars, tables, chairs and benches, as well as the pots and pans in the stove room, etc., and muttered a few words as if there were fewer pots and pans.
Who knew that Tian's clothes had already been packed, and Chunyu helped carry them, and Zhou saw that he couldn't take advantage of it, so he shook his hand and left, pulling Zeng Ruiqing home to sweep the house, leaving Ziquan to watch.
Zifu and they helped to dismantle the old bed in the west guest room first, the bed where Tian and they lived was newly built when the house was built, Zeng Ruixiang frowned when he saw it, and said to Zifu: "This bed has also been dismantled and moved." I don't want anything in the house. He really didn't want to see any traces left by the Tian family.
Tian Shi listened and hurriedly said: "In this case, let the Chunyu family pull it away." ”
Chunyu listened to his opinion, pulled the reluctant Simao forward, moved the bed out, and took away a few jars and dining tables by the way, just right, Yan Renda drove the ox cart to pick up a few of them, Ziquan saw that they were going to take these things, and hurriedly ran home and told Zhou.
Zhou threw down the work in his hand and rushed over, seeing Chunyu's family loading things on the ox cart, scolding, and about to unload it from the ox cart, Xia Yu and Qiu Yu didn't bother to persuade them, shouting that Simao was carrying Tian on his back, and several people hugged him back to Zeng Ruiqing's side, Tian looked back at the school deeply, and also glanced at Zeng Ruixiang by the way.
Zeng Ruixiang was looking at the vacated house blankly, thinking that when the old man was there, he would always come over and take a turn after class every day, and the old man's voice and smile seemed to be still in this house, and it had only been a few days, and the room had already been empty.
Zeng Ruixiang's tears fell, in fact, he also hated the old man, hated the old man's lack of responsibility, if he wasn't so cowardly, where would Zeng Ruixiang's mother die early?
In the final analysis, the old man is also pitiful, in this life, he was calculated by his eldest sister, and he was pinched by the Tian family, which disappointed his mother, and he was burdened with such a big sin, and I don't know how many comfortable days have passed?
Zifu saw that Zeng Ruixiang was sad, and saw that the house was empty, so he persuaded Zeng Ruixiang to go home, at the door, Zhou was still pulling with Chunyu, Zifu locked the small door of the school, and the group went home.
Lin Kangping and Ziqing followed back to their parents' house first, and Zixi said: "Grandpa's business, we have to keep filial piety at home for three months, and during the period of filial piety, it is not appropriate to break ground, and the matter of the glass factory will be talked about later." I plan to do the third phase in the capital, so that I won't need so much silver, I mean another five hundred taels of silver per share, and I am willing to buy some land or a shop or something. ”
"Okay, you can just discuss it." Ziqing said.
"Speaking of filial piety, this year's Ziquan's children's test is going to be delayed, so I can only go again next year. Fortunately, the third brother's township test was in the autumn. Qing'er, this doesn't matter, after all, you are the Lin family, it's almost fine, but my mother instructed me not to put off fireworks, and to set off fewer firecrackers. Zifu said.
Ziqing promised, after returning from her mother's house, Ziqing settled down to do some housework, the Zeng family can't go to other homes to pay New Year's greetings this year, Ziqing also saves trouble here, and there is no need to treat guests. Ziqing took the roster and prepared the red envelopes and monthly money of the subordinates.
"I don't know if my aunt and aunt are still pulling? I don't know who is more powerful? Ziqing asked suddenly.
"What are you bothering about? How to fight how to fight, horizontal and vertical has nothing to do with us, speaking of which, I am glad that our father is not the eldest son, otherwise, Grandma is really not good to let go of his hand. ”
"Why? Grandma has to live with her own son. However, my aunt is unwilling, you didn't see her push out. ”
"Aren't all the same? Generally speaking, you live with a long house and leave a little property, and when your grandfather split up, he didn't favor your father's house. But our father is filial and doesn't care, that's why he did these things. If our father is the eldest son and really wants to push Grandma out, outsiders will still speculate wildly, which will have some impact on our father, so it doesn't matter. Lin Kangping said.
Only then did Ziqing know that it was no wonder that when she persuaded Shen to let her third brother and sister Yang be in charge, Shen didn't agree, it turned out to be because of this. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
