Chapter 56: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Liu Fu returned to Liu's house in a daze, and met Zhao Hong in a hurry on the way, thinking that Zhao Hong was looking for his own teacher to ask for guilt for Zhao Ergang's beating, and the guilt was even worse, and his head was almost lowered to the ground.
Zhao Hong looked left and right at no one, pulled Liu Wu aside, lowered his voice and said: "Su'er, my mother asked me to tell you, be careful of your aunt, she doesn't want to stay at home, hide everywhere, go to the east house today, go to the west house tomorrow, pull his wife's tongue everywhere, saying that the Li family lives in the Liu family in vain and doesn't leave, because, because ......"
Zhao Hong's face was flushed, and she stammered for a long time without saying anything.
Liu Fu's face turned black, and then he said: "Is it because Li Wensheng has taken a fancy to me?" ”
Zhao Hong's face flashed with surprise, he shook his head, his face turned crimson, and he said stubbornly: "I didn't say you, I said that the old man and old tree of the Li family sprouted, and he wanted to dig out the widow's quilt ......."
Liu Fu's face turned pale, and he chuckled in his heart.
The Song family did this, nothing more than worrying that the Li family had lived in the Liu family for a long time, and it was inevitable that they would be gossiped by the villagers.
As the so-called toad jumps on its feet, it does not bite people. Before others guessed randomly, the Song family first buckled the basin on Liu's head, seized the opportunity, and he could end up light.
Liu Fu himself doesn't care about rumors, no matter how Song pays attention to himself, he is the soul of a modern person, what else can he not bear except death?
But Liu is different. According to Liu's axis of "being born as a person of Liu Changjiang and dying as a ghost of Liu Changjiang", pay attention to her, which is no different from forcing her to die.
Liu Wu hurried home, and sure enough, he heard Liu's crying in the house.
Just as he was about to open the door, Song pushed the door out of the house, and when he saw that it was Liu Wu, he pretended to comfort him: "Su'er, the mouth is on other people's faces, we can't control it, let your mother want to open a little, don't go to your heart." ”
After saying that, he went straight back to his room.
Liu Wu looked at Song's back deeply, and there was a kind of hatred that swallowed her alive.
When I entered the house, I saw that Liu on the kang was holding a pair of scissors and was distracted, Liu Wu snatched the scissors with his hands, threw them far away, and said angrily: "Mother, why are you so cowardly, and you want to kill yourself?!" ”
Liu blinked, he did want to prove his innocence for a moment, didn't he do it for the sake of the future reputation of his two daughters, so that he could find a good in-law?
Liu Wu's eyes were red, and he sighed and said, "Mother, I have heard the gossip outside, but it is my eldest aunt who said these words." ”
"No, your eldest aunt just came to report the ......news," Liu Shihu doubted.
Liu Xu sneered and said: "Mother, if you die because of these gossips, the most beneficial person is not the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village, but my grandmother and the entire Liu family." They just used your innocence as an excuse to kick the Li family out of the Liu family; Another advantage is that if you die, Liu Ya'er and I will be like osmanthus, let them sell and sell. ”
Liu's eyes turned red, he took out a rope from the beam, rushed out, and was pulled back by Liu Wu, and exclaimed: "Mother, why do you still want to die?" You're dead, what should I do with Ya'er? ”
Liu shook his head firmly and said, "If my mother is not really dead, my mother can't let go of your three sisters and brothers." Back then, your grandmother forced you to pass on the willow hair to Uncle Changdi, and your mother used this trick to stop you. My mother was at the gate of the courtyard, hanging herself in front of the whole village, to see which one dared to pay attention to me with a big mouth and a long tongue, where is my Liu Jinhua's reputation ruined, it is clearly to deduct the basin on your father's head, I will never follow ....."
Liu Wu pulled Liu back to the kang and whispered: "Mother, don't make a big fuss, this is red-mouthed and white-toothed, only saying that Li Guangde, an old widower, has taken a fancy to the widow of the Liu family, but he didn't name and say that it was you who took a fancy to you. ”
Liu stared at Xinghua cutely, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you mean me?" Who else could it be talking about? ”
Liu Fu shook his head and said, "Mother, who said that our family is a widow......"
The catkins winked playfully.
Liu covered his mouth in shock and said in fright: "You won't mean ......"
Liu Fu nodded heavily, confirming Liu's thoughts, so that Liu's mouth was not brought back for a long time.
Liu Wu still didn't worry about Liu, and carefully told Liu: "Mother, the heart is selfless and the world is wide. Now is the time for rumors to spread, and the calmer you are, the less convinced people outside are that it's true. Therefore, you can't show cowardice, and besides, whether it is the Liu family or the Li family, when you are asked to do something alone, you agree on the surface and tell me secretly behind your back. ”
Liu himself is an unassertive person, seeing Liu Wu's solemn face, he knew that the matter was serious, and nodded solemnly.
The catkins always feel that the right eyelid jumps and jumps, and it always feels like something is happening.
Liu Fu felt that he was not at the bottom of his heart, and he had to postpone going to the town.
Liu Wu is still lazy at Liu Changdi's house during the day, trying his best to please Ah Huang, who is still angry.
Ah Huang is still innocent, ignoring the catkins, and he owes not a smile.
Liu Wu made two bowls of milkshakes again, and sent them to Liu Mao and Ah Huang as if flattering.
Liu Mao pointed to the milkshake, learned from Liu Wu's usual appearance to Ah Huang, and said with a smile: "I'll count to three, let's ...... together 1.2......"
After a long pause, "three" refused to be counted, and Ah Huang still refused to pick up the milkshake to eat.
Liu Mao pushed the milkshake bowl closer to Ah Huang again, and persuaded: "If you suck and eat with your mouth, you won't be able to show your teeth......
Ah Huang glared at Mao Mao angrily, and simply lay on the kang and couldn't get up.
Liu Mao waved his hand helplessly to the catkins, and the catkins walked out of the house as they said, covered the door, and secretly looked in along the crack in the door.
Mao Mao regretfully received the milkshake in front of him, and said arrogantly: "I have a good mouth today, I can eat two bowls of ......."
Ah Huang sat up suddenly, snatched the two bowls of milkshake in his hand at the same time, and sucked it to his mouth.
Mao Mao said angrily: "There is a bowl of me, how can you eat my ......."
Ah Huang pointed to his open teeth and said, "My teeth need to eat more to grow, otherwise Sister Xu will laugh at me......"
This time it was Maomao's turn to get angry.
Liu Fu felt that his throat was choked, and his heart was uncomfortable.
It turned out that Ah Huang had been ignoring himself all these days, not because he was still angry when he said he was a "fool", but because he was afraid that he would dislike him and be ugly......
I live and die with him, how can I dislike him? Although, the open-toothed people look a bit of a joke......
He quietly pulled the catkins over, pointed to the outside of the courtyard and said, "Su'er, did your mother miss the willow hair, and she didn't come in after dangling at the gate of our courtyard for a long time." ”
Liu Fu hurriedly greeted him, wanting Liu to come into the house to warm up, and also to ease the knot with He due to succession.
Liu shook his head and said, "Su'er, I won't go in first, I'm here to find you for something else." ”
Liu Wu once told Liu that there was a job for her to do alone recently, and she promised on the surface, but behind her back she wanted to tell Liu Wu.
This time, the Zhou family sent the Liu family to run an errand to the wooden shed in Liu's field and beckoned Liu Changtan to go home for dinner.
There is a cat greasy, and the catkins directly sniffed out a smell of conspiracy.
It's the cold winter wax moon, and there are no crops in the field, what is Liu Changtan doing in the wooden shed where he has nothing to do?
The most suspicious thing is that Liu's family does a lot of work at home, running errands and other small things, and Lilai is the business of half-sized young men like Liugan, Liuzhong, and Liugen.
Liu Mao squinted his eyes lightly and said to Liu: "Mother, you go into the house to see Mao Mao, Mao Mao has gained a lot of weight in the past few days, and I think about you all day long, and I will go back to Liu's house in half an hour." I'll run errands for you. ”
Liu hesitated for a while, and passed Liu Mao to Liu Changdi and He, which was always the place where she refused to forgive herself, and she was afraid that Liu Mao would hate her.
Seeing that Liu was a little loose, He also went out of the house, and pulled Liu into the house half-pulled and half-pulled.
Liu Wu first turned into the Liu Mao and Ah Huang house, confessed two sentences and left the Liu family, pretended not to know and returned to the old house, and said to the willow as if unintentionally: "Is your father at home?" ”
Wicker snorted lightly in his nostrils and said disdainfully: "Do you think my father eats idle meals and doesn't do work like you?" ”
Liu Wu was noncommittal, and turned to the laundry vanilla and said, "Sister-in-law, are my uncle and aunt at home, I have something I want to ask them." ”
Vanilla looked up sluggishly, then shook her head and said, "I went out just now, I don't know where to go, but my mother-in-law deliberately took a * bag in her hand, probably to buy wheat bran." ”
Liu Fu secretly sneered in his heart, turned his head to look at the main room, and sneered: "If I guessed correctly, my grandmother is not at home, right?" ”
Vanilla looked at the catkins whose face was getting cold suspiciously, and for some reason, she shook her head and said, "That's not true, grandma has been in the house all the time." ”
Oh, the fact that the Zhou family didn't go with her doesn't prove that she didn't participate in it, it only shows that she wants to drive away the Li family immediately, and she doesn't have the idea of forcing herself out, or the last one to come out to be a peacemaker.
The more Liu Wu thought about it, the more cold he became, in order to drive the Li family out of the Liu family, the Liu family was really willing to spend their blood and come up with such a way to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, did they ever think that the Liu family is Liu Changjiang's daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law of Liu Wu and Liu Ya?
If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, if you cheat me, don't be afraid that I will cheat you.
Liu Fu said with a smile: "Little sister-in-law, where are the brothers of the Li family?" ”
Vanilla thought for a long time before saying: "My sister-in-law and my brother-in-law have not come out of the house, and Li Jiashilang went to the county to deliver firewood; The eldest lang of the Li family and the second lang went hunting, and the grandfather of the Li family was led by the uncle to eat and drink. ”
Liu Wu vaguely agreed, as if unintentionally said: "I heard others say that it seems that I saw Brother Liu Shu coming back from the county seat, and the scholar pays attention to a 'husband and wife', sister-in-law, don't you go to greet the husband?" ”
Vanilla's face darkened at first, and then she seemed to have made up her mind, wiped her hands that were red from the cold from washing clothes, and said, "Okay, I'll go to greet my husband." ”
Vanilla hurried out of the yard.
Liu Wu ran two laps outside the courtyard and was tired and sweaty, and then ran into the main room, and said to Zhou out of breath: "Milk, milk, the big thing is not good, the wooden shed next to our house is on fire, I heard that there seems to be a scream inside, inside......
"What? How can it catch fire? Zhou's eyes were red, and he suddenly slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "I must have drunk two bowls of cat urine, I don't know how serious, how is this good, fast, go and save people......
Zhou stumbled to the ground, and because the sky was already dark, he almost fell a big heel.
Liu Wu helped Zhou up, put the bearskin hat on his head on Zhou's head, and said: "Milk, it's cold at night, you wear a thicker one, save your ears from freezing, I'll go get a torch and light it." ”
Zhou's heart warmed, and he thought, this granddaughter is not useless, she can't sell it to that kind of pickled place like osmanthus in the future, how can she be a rich family's house, and she can borrow a little light.
