In mid-February, the chrysanthemum fish pond was dug first, and the water was slowly diverted to fill it, while transplanting lotus root seeds from the old pond. It is not easy to get fish fry, so I said hello to the fishermen in the lower pond set, and the fresh fish fry were sent.

Fifty acres of wasteland on the mountain were also opened, and old bamboo began to be transplanted, and the rice husks and wheat husks that were bought back were covered with a shallow layer on the surface.

In the busyness, the matter of the school was finally noisy, so Zhou Juren and Li Gengtian and some village elders gathered people from various families to discuss the matter in the village ancestral hall, and Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan went.

At noon, the two came back, with black faces, sat down in the courtyard of the Zheng family, took the tea sent by Liu Yunlan and poured two sips, without saying a word.

"Dad, what did Zhou Juren say?" Aoki asked Zheng Changhe. He originally wanted to go in person, but he couldn't let people say that the son of the Zheng family crossed Lao Tzu as a talker, so he had to let his father go.

Wang sat under the eaves of the porch, holding a half-contained sole in his hand, and looked at his son-in-law with a blank eye - this matter is related to the future of her grandson's birthday, she has been restless these days, and she can't even sleep well, for fear that she will be squeezed out of the school.

Zheng Changhe snorted and said: "It's all a bunch of conscienceless consciences who have called dogs to eat." What are we sorry for in the village? Now a baby goes to school and is still disliked. Ungrateful stuff! ”

Aoki frowned, Dad only cares about losing his temper and doesn't talk about business, doesn't this delay things?

Chrysanthemum also paid attention to this matter, and waited at the Zheng family for a long time, and when she saw this situation, she turned her eyes to Zhang Dazhuan: "Father-in-law, what do you mean by saying that there are those who have or not?" ”

She thinks the same as Aoki: what others say doesn't count, only what Zhou Juren says counts. If she wants her to say this, the villagers should not be involved in this matter at all. At the beginning, Master Zhou was very assertive, he would accept whoever he liked, and it was useless to have more money if he didn't like it.

Zhang Dazhuan sighed and said: "Master Zhou Juren didn't say anything, let everyone discuss it carefully, come out with a quasi-word, and he will act accordingly." ”

Aoki and Chrysanthemum looked at each other and couldn't help frowning at the same time.

Zhang Dazhuan said again: "Where can we negotiate?" There was a lot of noise, and everyone was not happy that the people from the unexpected village came to study, and even the village chief was not easy to speak. Zhao San and Liu Da Fat helped us speak, and the other people who had a little conscience didn't dare to speak, and those who didn't have a conscience said that they shouldn't let the fat water flow into the outsiders' fields, and they breathed out from the Sun family and Li Mingtang's nostrils. ”

Yang gritted his teeth and scolded: "The black-hearted mother-in-law should let her daughter die if she wants to be retributed......"

She looked at the chrysanthemum, and finally swallowed the words back, and didn't complain about her!

How could Chrysanthemum not know her mother's resentment?

She sighed, thought for a while, and said to Aoki: "Brother, if you go with Huaizi in the afternoon, you will say that our father is sick - anyway, he has not been around for two days, and his body is still a little weak; said that Huaizi's grandmother had something to do, and her father-in-law was called over to help. She turned her head and said to Zhang Dazhuan, "Dad, you go to our uncle's house for one night, drink and gossip with the third uncle, and go to relatives." ”

Zheng Changhe and Zhang Daxuan sent the two away in a few words when they saw her, looked at each other and laughed.

Zheng Changhe said with a smile: "Chrysanthemum, my father can't speak, it's okay for you to let your father pretend to be sick, why do you do the same to your father-in-law?" Aren't you afraid that he will be angry and respond in his heart? ”

Zhang Dazhuan glared at him and said, "What are you talking about, what do I have to deal with?" My son goes for me, and no one else goes for me? It is impossible to be unconvinced, and besides, Lao Tzu is not as good as his son, and he is not ashamed. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Who said that Lao Tzu is not as good as his son? Didn't you bred and raise them? One generation is better than another, and no matter how many people want to ask for it, they can't ask for miles. I don't let you go, because I'm afraid that my father will be too honest and make people angry, and besides, this matter can't be solved by quarreling. Brother, you go with Huaizi, don't argue with others about those things outside the village - it's useless to say that - just tell Zhou Juren that everything is arranged by the master. In the evening, I went with Huaizi to visit his house. ”

Aoki nodded and said, "Master Zhou should have the final say." It's just that this master ······" He felt that it was a little strange that a group of crop men had been noisy this week.

Chrysanthemum didn't think so, and her impression of this week was greatly reduced. But she still told Aoki: "No matter what, don't quarrel with anyone in front of him, and speak with reason and evidence-let's find another way to solve this matter, and we can't solve it by noise." ”

Aoki nodded slightly, his eyes blazing.

It's not that you can't take out the money, but it's really unpleasant to be forced to take money like this, and it's even more chilling to be squeezed by people who have received favors. I don't have anything to say to the people in the village, let alone get a baby to go to school, even if I get two or three, it can be reasonable.

Wang Shi has been wiping away tears for a long time, thinking that he really can't go back to sell land.

At least fifty taels of silver, where did she get so much money? No matter how rich the daughter's family and the eldest son's family are, they also earn it themselves, everyone has grandchildren, and a large family has to support, how can she open her mouth? Besides, the second daughter-in-law who is not angry, if she is more virtuous and less disgusting, it is better to say, but she is disgusted by people, and her brothers and sisters don't want to see her, won't she be retributed?

Seeing that her grandmother was sad, Chrysanthemum comforted her and said, "Don't worry, grandma, how can this matter be decided so easily?" No matter what you say, the book is a must-read.

Yang's breath was accumulated in his chest, and he was uncomfortable, and suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Wait for the old lady to come to the door and scold her ancestors for eight generations." She won't let us get better, let's shake out all those things about the sesame seeds and rotten grains, and see which one is embarrassed? ”

Aoki and Chrysanthemum stopped at the same time: "Mother, this can't be done." ”

Aoki persuaded: "Mother, you dissipate your anger first, and I'll go with Huaizi to take a look in the afternoon." In the evening, let's raise someone again and talk to him privately. Are you still not at ease when I work with chrysanthemums? ”

Chrysanthemum also said: "Now is not the time to fight with her, you have to get the matter of studying in Laishou first." If you come to the door to scold like this, even if you win the scolding, isn't it that you haven't solved the problem of studying? On the contrary, he said that the people looked down on him that week, saying that our countrymen were vulgar, and my brother had read some books, but he couldn't let people say that. ”

Yang was persuaded and had nothing to say, only to feel that his chest was uncomfortably blocked, he was dizzy for a while, his eyes were dazzling, and he couldn't stand on his feet when he staggered, but everyone was discussing going to the school in the afternoon, and they didn't even see it.

Liu Yunlan, who was cooking in the kitchen and calling everyone to eat, just came outside, and saw her mother-in-law holding her forehead with her hand, swaying and standing unsteadily, screamed, hurriedly took a few big steps, rushed forward to support her, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Everyone turned their heads, only to find that Yang's face was pale, his lips trembled, and he was immediately frightened, so he swarmed forward and surrounded him to ask.

Zheng Changhe was even more flustered, grabbed Yang's arm and asked in a loud voice, "Baby, what's wrong with you?" You are angry, when the matter of studying in Laishou is done, Lao Tzu and Sun Jinshan will not be finished······" Before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Shi push his hand away violently, suddenly turned his head, and spit out with a "wow".

Chrysanthemum was very nervous, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, quickly bring a chair and let my mother lean on to take a breath." Don't move her yet. She knew that her mother was angry, and she was sad for a while.

Seeing that Laishou was also back, Wang hugged him and cried: "It's my useless old woman who hurt you." You were doing well, but if I didn't bring Shou to study, I wouldn't be able to do this. Whining! Come to Shouwow, let's not read this book, save your aunt from being praised and discredited, and look at her so angry ......"

Laishou didn't squeak, but tears rolled in his eyes.

Liu Yunlan hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Grandma, you can't say that, if you come to Shou and go back like this-then you were forced to go back, isn't my mother even more angry?" ”

Chrysanthemum was feeding Yang's water, Aoki patted her on the back to help Shunqi, Zheng Changhe took Yang's hand, his eyes were red, and Zhang Dazhuan rushed back to call He and Huaizi.

Chrysanthemum listened to her sister-in-law's words and said to Wang: "Grandma, my mother is uncomfortable, and your old man will make trouble." My father and my brother are in charge of this matter, and my Huaizi won't watch it, so you can rest assured. You persuade my mother a few words, I'm afraid she will be better. ”

Wang also felt that he had lost his temper, so he wiped his tears and stepped forward to look at Yang.

Yang rinsed his mouth, feeling better, but he was not very energetic, leaned back in the chair, and whispered to everyone: "Worry, I'm fine." It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.

Yun Lan, my mouth is bitter, go pick up some sour bamboo shoots to let me pass my mouth. ”

Liu Yunlan agreed, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to Zhang Luo.

For a while, He and Zhang Huai also came over, and asked again, and then He cursed endlessly, Huaizi whispered to Aoki, Liu Yunlan and Chrysanthemum surrounded Yang, while persuading and feeding some sour bamboo shoots, and letting her drink water, Wang was also comforting on the side, Zheng Changhe went to the stove hole to pick up some grass ashes, and cleaned up the stolen goods that Yang vomited.

The little gourd squeezed to grandma and stood there, touched her hand, and suddenly said, "Grandma, don't be angry, the gourd beat her!" ”

He just heard his mother and aunt persuade his grandmother not to be angry, so he said that.

When Yang heard this, his heart softened, and he took his little hand and said, "Hey! Grandma listened to the gourd and was not angry. It's not worth getting angry with that mother-in-law. Sooner or later, the woman will be punished. ”

Wang nodded again and again, touched Laishou's head and said, "Laishou, when you grow up, you have to honor your aunt, look at your aunt's things for you to study, it's all like this." If you win the show......"

As she was talking, she suddenly noticed that there was a big blue patch on one of Laishou's cheeks, and there were two bloody ridges on her ears, so she hurriedly asked, "What is this......?" Who hit you? Laishou, did you get into a fight with someone in the school? ”

With this shout, everyone's eyes turned to Laishou again.

Laishou is only seven years old, and his brother Laicai is completely different from each other, Si Swenwen, at this time, he covered his face with one hand, turned his head to avoid his grandmother's scrutiny, and whispered: "I didn't fight with anyone, I accidentally touched it." ”

As soon as he raised his arm, Yang and the others had already discovered that his wrist was also bruised. To be continued.
