Chapter 153: Splashing in the Street
A few days after her mother-in-law came back, Ren Haoxuan's eldest cousin died. I heard that he died a tragic death, leaving behind a seven-year-old son who died without even closing his eyes. The mother-in-law heard the news and did not speak for a day. Her heart is really ruthless, in order to save a few travel expenses, she can really be open-minded.
Maybe when she came back from her nephew, she had already explained to her niece and daughter-in-law that she couldn't go. When the nephew was cremated at the funeral home, all the relatives were present, only the mother-in-law was not present, and no one came to pick her up at home again, and Sun Xiaohong didn't see how troubled she was. Money is moving, last time she went with interests, but this time she didn't go, how much it has to do with spending money. She is absolutely obsessed with money.
Speaking of the eldest cousin's experience, it is tragic enough, after he smashed a piece of bitterness, he stood up and was still bitter, when he was alive, he did not live a warm day, he suffered so many years of sin in the wind and rain, but he did not expect a good life, but he had an incurable disease. When he died, he left orphans and widows, leaving nothing but two houses. It can be seen that freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
When the eldest cousin was alive, he and his daughter-in-law stood on the street to do small business, and these small profits usually did not make a few dollars, and sometimes the goods could not be sold, so they had to work for nothing, and there was no sponsorship from the elderly, and their lives were very poor. My cousin-in-law is even more so, in order to beg for food, the two of them have a cold and a hot mouthful, and they have never taken health seriously, and their marriage has caused a tragedy.
It's also sad to think that when they got married, they were kicked out of the house by their in-laws empty-handed. When they left the countryside, they wanted to work in the streets. But after searching the streets and alleys, I didn't find a suitable job, and I watched others stand on the street to buy vegetables, and I also started a small business. The poor live a life, big money can't be earned, and small money is not easy to earn, they have saved everywhere, but life is still tight. The eldest cousin doesn't smoke or drink, they are reluctant to buy coal in winter, reluctant to buy umbrellas in summer, haven't even eaten a few full meals, and even have to scrape together enough change to buy bags of salt.
The illness on the eldest cousin was forced by the cruel real life. But when the mother-in-law came back, she said: "A good man has no good wife, they are two people who often quarrel, and let his wife make him angry to death!" "This is the same, his illness is caused by poor living conditions, crooked reasoning like her, as if her nephew's illness is caused by her nephew's daughter-in-law, her imagination is too rich, thinking about people in a bad way, her cousin-in-law was also shot while lying down, and her innocent victim thinking is really vicious.
Mother-in-law chatters like this every day, which makes Sun Xiaohong's ears calloused. In the past, when she said this, Sun Xiaohong barely listened to a few words. Now, her mouth changed its taste, Sun Xiaohong heard that her words were strongly targeted, and immediately hid in the Westinghouse, closed the door, picked up the knitted sweater, and never went out again. Her cold war made her mother-in-law have no one to vent to, and she was extremely annoyed.
When she was fine, Sun Xiaohong put her mother-in-law's mother-in-law's family on a line and pushed it forward, and she suddenly found that her mother-in-law's sisters and brothers were more domineering than the other, and they were not in harmony with each other. As long as they are put together, there will be a lot of right and wrong.
It's really unlucky to have such a mother-in-law on the stall. Sun Xiaohong thought to herself.
After dinner, Sun Xiaohong quickly cleaned up the kitchen, she returned to the West House, just sat down, the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman with short hair walked in from outside, with an apron tied around her waist. Sun Xiaohong looked up and saw that she knew this person, she was the sister-in-law of the old Chen family in the West Courtyard. On the night of the wedding, it was the quilt she laid out. She is very diligent, and she has a lot of housework every day, as if she is not idle from morning to night.
As soon as she walked to the door, Sun Xiaohong hurriedly greeted her: "Sister-in-law is here!" Hurry up and get inside! On such a cold day, you don't wear anything, see you freeze like this, hurry up and go into the house to warm up! Xiaohong smiled and let her into the house.
"Where is Xiaohong at home? Now that winter break is over, you'll be able to stay at home for a few more days! Look at your class, don't talk about running twice, it's still so cold, but it's enough for you to toss? The sister-in-law cracked her mouth and kept feeling sorry for Sun Xiaohong. She has a loud voice and doesn't betray anyone when she says anything.
"Well, you can stay at home for more than a month during the winter vacation!" The mother-in-law heard her sister-in-law talking to Sun Xiaohong and poked her head out of the door.
"The eldest daughter-in-law is here, hurry up and go into the house to smoke a cigarette!" As he spoke, he let his sister-in-law into the house. Sun Xiaohong saw that her sister-in-law was called by her mother-in-law, and she turned around and went back to her house.
"Third aunt, don't you need the panel at home, if you don't use it, borrow it from me, our family will make frozen dumplings tonight." I couldn't do it alone, so I found several people in the alley to help. By the way, Xiaohong has no kung fu, if so, let her come over and help me make dumplings. The sister-in-law said, glancing at the Westinghouse with the peripheral vision of her eyes.
"Did I hear her just talking? Now it's like knitting a sweater in Westinghouse, you wait, I'll go over and ask you. After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she pushed the door and walked in: "Xiaohong, your sister-in-law's family makes frozen dumplings tonight, if you have nothing to do, go over and help!" With that, she went to the kitchen to get the panel.
Hearing her mother-in-law call her, Sun Xiaohong walked out of it. The sister-in-law hurriedly stood up: "Xiaohong, find you some work, and follow me to the house to make dumplings in a while!" "The sister-in-law saw that her mother-in-law had moved the panel out, and she; Hurriedly took it.
"Okay, it's not a big deal at home anyway!" Sun Xiaohong followed behind her sister-in-law, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard door while talking, and then came to the courtyard of the sister-in-law's house.
There were already a few middle-aged men in the room. They all sat cross-legged in the kang, drinking tea and chatting. Sun Xiaohong didn't know any of these people, so she put the panel on the kang and slowly kneaded the dough. After the dough was kneaded, she lowered her head and began to make notes, rolling out the dough, and her hands were busy with joy. Anyway, the people in the room, what topics they talk about has nothing to do with them.
It was getting dark, and a few more men came into the room. The eldest brother of the Chen family teaches in the village primary school, and he is an introvert who does not like to talk. When talking to others, he always smiles and then speaks, and he is recognized as a good person in school.
As they talked, they suddenly didn't know what was going on, and they all focused their eyes on Sun Xiaohong. A short man touched the eldest brother's hand with his hand and said, "Hey, Lao Chen, why is this little girl so old-looking, I have never seen it before, introduce us to her, what kind of relative is she in your family!" When he asked suddenly, no one in the room spoke.
Sun Xiaohong just lowered her head and was busy working on the bread in her hand, when she heard someone in the kang asking about her, her face turned red, she didn't answer, and continued to do what she was doing. When the sister-in-law saw that she didn't speak, she thought she was embarrassed, so she came over with a smile and explained:
"You don't know each other, do you? She is the daughter-in-law of Xiao Hao in the East Courtyard. You can't make this joke, according to the generation, she has to call you uncle? You have to be careful when you talk about you, lest people look down on you! "Sister-in-law's words are really effective.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, no one in the room joked casually. After a while, the short man said: "It's not that I don't speak well, you look at the third brother of the old Ren family, he said ten words outside, nine sentences may not be believed, you look at other people's sons, he married such a good daughter-in-law, it is really a good life to burn hoes and hoes as thick as incense in his last life." Otherwise, people don't dare to die! ”
This sentence clearly alludes to Sun Xiaohong's flower inserted in cow dung. But he didn't say it explicitly, so it can be seen that this person has never put Ren Tiezui in his eyes. In this remote village, one family lives, and ten families stand on a high post to watch the excitement. If you don't live a good life, there are too many people who look down on you.
Sun Xiaohong did not speak, nor did she look up. She kept busy working on the dough on the board until midnight, when she went home to rest.
The next morning, when the whole family was sitting together for dinner, Sun Xiaohong said everything in front of Ren Haoxuan about the words of those people on the kang when they made dumplings at the eldest brother's house yesterday.
"Which one of the people who received a thousand cuts said this, see if I don't settle accounts with him. There is no one else who says this disgusting thing, so I will go to him now, and let her talk nonsense, and see that I don't tear his mouth apart! "When my mother-in-law heard about it, her house exploded. She slammed her chopsticks on the table, and before she could finish eating, she turned around and walked out.
She scolded as she walked: "Who the can't talk so much? What's wrong with my son? Feelings, our family can't afford to talk about such a daughter-in-law? I don't have any ideas, using you guys to talk nonsense behind your back, isn't this a mouth idle looking for a fan? What's the muttering behind your back, you have the ability to come to me! ”
The louder she shouted in the alley, the louder it became, as if the whole village was afraid of her. She walked into the short man's house screaming and swearing, and then she didn't know what was going on.
Sun Xiaohong was taken aback when she saw her broken horse Zhang Fei. She saw what Lushan's true face was like today. In the past, others said anything bad about her, and she didn't believe it, but today is an eye-opener.
She had to admire that she was really talented. If there is another war in the bay, it may not cost a single shot to send the mother-in-law there without planes and cannons.
She is also too domineering, others just said something that shouldn't be said, and she made a storm in the city, and nodded to her again and again to apologize, such a character is really shameless to see Jiangdong's father. There is no wind and no waves, and flies do not bite seamless eggs. My mother-in-law really has two sons in this village. Then again, the short man's mouth was not honest and quite hateful.
This New Year's Day was taught a hard lesson, and it stopped, and I don't know what to do. If you don't manage your mouth well in the future, it may not be as simple as being scolded.
