Chapter 22: Speechless
"After a lot of chatter, I should go back too! There are still many things to do in the house, thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for your snacks! After sitting for a while, Steward Sun was very humble, and he was about to leave, Chen Qiaoqiao also knew that the steward was busy, so she didn't keep it, but personally sent Steward Sun to the gate.
As soon as I turned around, I saw the figure of the apricot in a hurry, "Apricot! What's wrong? Xing'er looked worried, "The third young master refuses to go to school, and the third young grandmother is crying!" I was going to go to my dad and have a look! After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran away, Chen Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, what the hell did he do early in the morning!
Chen Qiaoqiao took Si Zuo and Si You into the small courtyard of Shu Ping, she was the first time to set foot here, looking at this, she knew that their husband and wife were not doing well, this was the smallest courtyard of the Chen family, and the degree of dilapidation was better than that of the Chen family's courtyard.
"Cry! Just know to cry! If you can cry money, you'll cry enough! I was unlucky to marry a crying daughter-in-law like you! My mother's family can't help, I don't know how to be a person, you look at the second sister-in-law, what kind of intimacy with the sister-in-law, what about you! If you want five taels of silver, you won't come back! Study! Study! I don't have any money to read, everyone is preparing the carriage, and it's about to leave at noon, but I'm at home watching you cry! As soon as he approached their room, he heard the shouts of the statement in hysteria.
Xu Huifang could only sobb quietly in his abuse, Chen Qiaoqiao understood what was going on, she was really angry, what kind of man is this! If you want money, you don't dare to come out yourself, ask for your daughter-in-law, or come back and get angry with your daughter-in-law! This is the kind of man Chen Qiaoqiao hates the most, she calls it a scumbag!
This kind of man who has no responsibility, is like a mouse outside, and is like a tiger at home, Chen Qiaoqiao thinks that he should not live in this world at all! As a result, this scumbag is still her nominal son, look at how she cleans him up! So he kicked the door open, "Statement Ping!" Are you talking human? You should snicker when you marry a virtuous and virtuous wife like Huifang! According to Erniang's thoughts, you should beat a bachelor with such a useless thing! Can't help my mother? You know how much dowry you look at your wife as a man! Do you think your eldest brother has had a good time all these years? Yes, he used a lot of money from the Hu family, so do you know how much anger he suffered? Dare to speak! When I saw my sister-in-law, I saw my sister-in-law like a mouse and a cat, and I was able to do it again in front of Huifang! If you put this momentum on reading, what book can't be read? ”
Being drunk like this by Chen Qiaoqiao, Shu Ping's arrogance suddenly extinguished a lot, and he lowered his head and looked pitiful, "Am I still upset?" In the academy, my money has not yet been handed over, and the master has urged me yesterday, and I will leave at noon today! ”
"Mother-in-law! Don't scold Xianggong, he is bitter in his heart! Reading is a money-consuming thing, although the eldest brother said that he would support the father-in-law, but the money is in the hands of the sister-in-law, early this morning, I went to ask the sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law did not give a good face at all, saying that she was looking for the eldest brother to go, but the eldest brother had already gone out, and he couldn't come back without half a month! Xianggong is right, I don't have the ability, I can't come up with the silver! Xu Huifang sobbed.
Chen Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, what kind of theory is this? This poor person must have something to hate, this sentence is not bad at all, this Xu Huifang put her position too humble, maybe in her heart she climbed high and said Ping, so she would do whatever she wanted.
"Huifang! What do you call this, you yourself look down on yourself, who will look down on you! Mother-in-law looks at you very well, and these three daughters-in-law like you the most! Shu Ping, you listen to me, these five taels of silver are for you, but you have to study hard, you must not let Huifang lose face, and you can no longer scold Huifang at will! This silver is given to you for the sake of Huifang's face, if it were you, Erniang would not look down on the virtue of your dog!" It was said that his head was about to fall into the crotch of his pants.
"Mother-in-law! Are you serious, you have silver? Xu Huifang was pleasantly surprised. Only then did Shu Ping raise his head, "Erniang, aren't you joking?" "Although I just heard what Erniang said, it's just that Erniang's situation is not as good as theirs! How can there be silver!?
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but have a headache, remembering that she had impassionedly said the words she gave her for a while, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Oh...... This morning, Lord Wang Duo sent ten taels of silver and said that it was a meeting gift for Si Zuo and Si You, since you are waiting to use it, I will give you five taels, Huifang, follow me back to the room to get it, but you had better keep your mouth shut about this matter, understand? ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and asked Si Zuo and Si You, "Is it okay to lend your silver to the third brother first, and when the third brother has a chance in the future, she must pay it back!" ”
Si Zuo and Si You nodded as if they didn't understand, "Mother!" We're lending it to the third sister-in-law, aren't we? We are willing, the third sister-in-law is a good person, and she used to secretly sew and mend clothes for us! ”
Who said that children are not sensible, and they keep every little kindness to her in mind! Xu Huifang couldn't help but be moved, a smile appeared on Shu Ping's face, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help frowning slightly, in all fairness, this Shu Ping's appearance is the most outstanding of the three brothers, and it is not too much to look like Pan An, but this Chen Qiaoqiao really has no good impression of such a scumbag, "Think left and right, remember in the future, you must not look for your third brother like this!" Find a good husband who will take care of you and take care of you! ”
Shu Ping's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to reply, so he walked to the side stupidly. Xu Huifang was afraid that she would be embarrassed by the statement, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Mother-in-law! Forget it, let's go get the silver, and we won't have time to go to the school in a while!
There was a trace of pleading on Xu Huifang's face, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but soften, this Xu Huifang's sincerity to Cheng Ping was so ruined by this Cheng Ping.
Walking out of their yard, Chen Qiaoqiao saw the figure passing in front of her, and she was a little suspicious, why did she look so much like Ye Wanrong? It's not good, she knows that she has silver, I'm afraid it's not good, it seems that my silver has to be collected quickly.
When they returned to their residence, Chen Qiaoqiao specially asked Si Zuo and Si You to wait outside, she and Xu Huifang went to the room, but they were not in a hurry to take out the silver, but just took out the fabric sent by Wang Duo, "Huifang! What do you think of the fabric? This is sent by Lord Wang Duo, there are so many, why don't you make a dress too! ”
Xu Huifang was anxious to get the silver, "Mother-in-law, this ......" Chen Qiaoqiao sighed softly, "Don't speak, listen, someone is coming!" ”
Xu Huifang quieted down, and sure enough, she heard the chaotic footsteps, and Si Zuo and Si You shouted, "Sister-in-law! Second sister-in-law! The voice was very loud, just to remind Chen Qiaoqiao.
Chen Qiaoqiao sat for a long time, not moving at all, and Hu Feng walked in in a hurry, "Mother-in-law! You can't be partial, but I heard that you are going to take five taels of silver out to Shu Ping, in this case, mother-in-law, don't forget, you have three sons! ”
Chen Qiaoqiao knew that they would make trouble, so she didn't take out the silver, "Daughter-in-law, where did you hear it?" If my mother-in-law has money, will she be entangled with you for Sizuo and Siyou's clothes? Don't listen to any nonsense! ”
"Mother-in-law! Don't deny it, I hear it all! Ye Wanrong also jumped out. Originally, she wanted to secretly take a look at the situation in the third child's family, but she didn't expect that she vaguely heard about the silver, but now she was not convinced, Chen Zhongkang originally told her to quietly return the jewelry to her mother-in-law, she was still a little hesitant, and now she doesn't give it! This mother-in-law has private money, but she hides it and doesn't give it to them, so she gives it to the third child, which is absolutely not good!
So she told Hu Feng in a hurry, and they would kill her immediately, no matter how much silver she had, and then talk about it after blowing.
Chen Qiaoqiao's eyebrows raised, "Wanrong, what did you hear?" Tell me about it? Ye Wanrong didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so calm, but she stammered a little, "I heard my mother-in-law say five taels, what I give is probably to give five taels of silver to the third brother!" ”
"Humph! You haven't dug up your earwax, and you're still learning to eavesdrop? I mean, the fabric sent by Lord Wang Duo is worth at least five taels of silver, and I know that Huifang's craftsmanship is good, and I want her to make clothes for me! It's strange that it becomes like this when it comes to your ears, I can't imagine that you can not only have children, but also money! Chen Qiaoqiao scoffed.
Hu Feng heard Chen Qiaoqiao say this, and then looked at the fabric spread on the table, and believed a little, to be honest, although she suspected that her mother-in-law had private money, but over the years, almost all of her mother-in-law's room had been scavenged, if she had private money, why was it gone?
"Wanrong! Did you hear me clearly? Hu Feng couldn't help but look at her angrily, she was settling accounts, but she was pulled by Ye Wanrong. Ye Wanrong was stared at by her like this, "this ......" Ye Wanrong was not sure.
Chen Qiaoqiao stood up and slapped the table vigorously: "Are you not convinced when you see your mother-in-law giving the clothes to Huifang?" Okay, Hu Feng, take it and make a dress for your mother-in-law! "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm busy up and down this big family, and I haven't looked at it yet! Hu Feng looked at Chen Qiaoqiao in surprise, and felt that this mother-in-law was getting more and more inches.
"Wanrong! Why don't you do it? Chen Qiaoqiao squinted at Ye Wanrong, Ye Wanrong was startled, she is not good at this needlework, besides, if she wants to do day work, how is it possible!?" Mother-in-law! My daughter-in-law is still pregnant! But you must not be tired, let's ask the third brother and sister to do it! Ye Wanrong's face was very embarrassed.
