Chapter 43: The Black-Hearted Landlord
When Xiao Yue entered the house, she saw Yang Changfa sitting by the kang. I walked over to the closet and took out a piece of clothing, walked up to him and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Yang Changfa sighed and said, "Early in the morning, my father and mother asked Sanbao to call me to go to the old house, I went, what do you think my father and mother are looking for me?" ”
Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows and shook her head.
Yang Changfa continued: "They said that my sister-in-law was a married daughter and couldn't live in our house, and they said that my sister-in-law was alone now, and maybe she would get into trouble. Let me hurry up and drive my sister-in-law away, so as not to cause trouble to the family and drag down the third child, how can they do this? That's my sister-in-law, my father's sister, and the third is an official, how could my sister-in-law implicate him. ”
Xiao Yue shook her head, she had already seen the group of people in the Yang family. When Yang Changfa was injured, they were indifferent, just like an irrelevant person.
She patted Yang Changfa on the shoulder and said, "That's how you got angry?" When you were injured, they all felt that it had nothing to do with them, you were still your father's son, they could be like that, let alone your sister. Okay, don't be angry, hurry up and change your clothes and have breakfast, you are not afraid of your sister-in-law thinking too much. ”
Yang Changfa thought about it, and his family knew best, so he didn't get angry.
Xiao Yue saw that his face was better, and asked, "Then Daddy said that, what did you say." ”
Yang Changfa said while changing his clothes: "I said that my grandfather raised me, and now I want to give my sister-in-law a pension." We're separated, and they can't take care of it. I'll be back when I'm done, it's our own family's business, we just have to decide. ”
Xiao Yue nodded and said, "That's right." ”
After the two of them finished speaking, Xiao Yue went to set up a meal with Aunt Yang.
She smiled and said to Aunt Yang: "Sister-in-law, don't think about it, we are relatives." ”
Aunt Yang smiled and nodded, and the three of them ate breakfast together.
Xiao Yue saw that the gloom between Aunt Yang's eyebrows had receded a lot, and her heart felt a little better. Too many things that are depressed in the heart are not good for the body.
Aunt Yang drank porridge, her heart was warm, she cried out and confided, and the attitude of her nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law made her feel much more comfortable and stable.
After eating, Yang Changfa went to the mountain, and Xiao Yue and Aunt Yang cleaned up the house.
Yesterday, I felt uncomfortable, and the three of them didn't care about cleaning up the place where they lived, and Yang Changfa even survived on the chair all night.
Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue live in the house on the right side of the living room, the room on the left is empty, it was originally planned to live for the child, but let Yang Xiaogu live now, and the child will talk about it when the time comes.
Xiao Yue took out the new mattress and quilt she made and laid them out for Aunt Yang, and when Aunt Yang came back, she didn't even take her clothes, so there was nothing empty in the house.
Xiao Yue planned to buy something when she was in the market, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the town to buy something for you later." ”
Aunt Yang said: "No need, there is a place where my sister-in-law lives, just wait for us to go to the town and get it back." ”
Xiao Yue didn't object, "Okay, let's see when the time comes, and buy what we lack." ”
Now Xiao Yue makes sauces seven days at the beginning of each month, and the rest is to go to 5 meetings to do business, and the rest of the time is free.
I happened to be idle today, so I simply went to the town to buy something for my sister-in-law.
After cleaning up the house, Xiao Yue asked Yang Changfa to take the ox cart out, locked the door, and the three of them went to the town.
Because it wasn't a rally, there weren't many people. Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa first went to the place where Yang Xiaogu lived, and in a very remote alleyway, they turned right and came to the front of a dilapidated house.
Aunt Yang opened the door with the key hidden in the grass at the door, and when she went in, the two couldn't help but feel sad.
In one room, there was a stove with stones by the window, and none of the pots and pans and kitchen knives were good, all of them were notched. A wooden bed, no mattress with straw, a tattered quilt. There is no wardrobe, and the change of clothes is placed at the head of the bed.
Xiao Yue looked around the room and said, "Sister-in-law, forget it, these things are already old like this, we don't want them, we'll buy you a new one." ”
Aunt Yang said: "It's a little bit to save a little!" ”
"What do you save, if you are blessed, enjoy it quickly!" A high-pitched voice sounded.
Xiao Yue turned her head to see that it was a fat woman in her fifties, her face was smeared with thick powder, her words fell down, and her lips were red as if she had drunk blood.
The fat woman's eyes swept back and forth between Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa's bodies, "Sister Yang, who is this?" Do you still have rich relatives? ”
Yang Xiaogu said in a light tone: "This is my nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law. Changfa, Yue'er, this is Aunt Fu, this house is hers. ”
Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa also shouted.
Aunt Yang said to Aunt Fu, "I'll tell you if I moved away." ”
Aunt Fu's eyes rolled, "Ao, it turned out to be a relative of your mother's family, this is to take you back, it seems that your mother's family is still good, then why have you been here like a beggar......"
Aunt Fu was still talking, but Aunt Yang interrupted her, "Okay, I'm just coming back to get something." ”
Aunt Fu smiled and said, "Oh, I still want you to be in tatters!" Okay, if you want to move out, give 10 taels of silver for rent! ”
Aunt Yang's eyes widened, "Didn't we say when we rented it at the beginning, 1 tael of silver a year?" I've already given you 1 tael, and I've only lived there for 3 months. ”
Aunt Fu patted her thigh and said, "Good my eldest sister Yang!" At the beginning, I thought you were really pitiful to charge so much money, you think this is the town, how can there be such a cheap rent. ”
Xiao Yue knew from the moment the woman glanced at her just now that she wanted money, and sure enough, she didn't know it. She opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Fu, although this is the town, you don't have such an expensive rent for this house!" ”
Aunt Fu squinted her eyes and said to Xiao Yue: "Niece and daughter-in-law, look at my house, behind this is the most famous lotus pond in our town, on the left is the largest restaurant in the town, and on the right is the best private school in the town, isn't this location good?" ”
The corners of Xiao Yue's mouth twitched unconsciously when she said this, yes, these places are in these directions, but it will take half an hour to pass.
If this can be counted as the surrounding environment of this house, then the surrounding environment of the whole town is good, and this fat woman can really open her eyes and talk nonsense.
However, Xiao Yue didn't want to dwell on it anymore, she chuckled and said: "Aunt Fu said really well, but these places are not close to here, I only see that behind this house is a sludge ditch, on the left is a coffin shop, and on the right is a garbage mountain." ”
Aunt Fu waved her hand indifferently, "But there are few people, it's clean!" ”
Xiao Yue was really speechless, this is nonsense, "Okay, Aunt Fu, what is it, we know in our hearts, my sister-in-law is going to move away, and we also thank you for taking her in at the beginning, we can only give you another 1 tael of silver, it depends on you or not, otherwise we can only go to the government to talk about it." ”
Aunt Fu thought about it for a while, there was 1 tael is 1 tael, nodded and said, "Okay, but you can't take the things in this house." ”
Xiao Yue didn't plan to ask for these things, so she agreed. Yang Changfa took out 1 tael of silver and gave it to Aunt Fu. Aunt Yang only took her two clothes.
Aunt Fu sighed at the 1 tael of silver, and put it into her arms with a smile on her face.
A middle-aged man came in and asked Aunt Fu, "Who is this?" ”
Aunt Fu said: "It's the eldest sister Yang who lived here before, this is her nephew and nephew-in-law." Then he said to Xiao Yue and the others, "This is my mouth, and they all call him Uncle Fu."
Xiao Yue shouted to Yang Changfa, and Yang Changfa said, "Okay, let's go!" ”
Xiao Yue nodded and pulled Aunt Yang away, she always felt that Uncle Fu was looking at Aunt Yang. Thinking of Aunt Yang's in-laws, Xiao Yue always had a bad feeling.
Looking at their backs, Uncle Fu asked Aunt Fu, "Is it her nephew who is driving the ox cart?" ”
Aunt Fu nodded. Uncle Fu touched the mustache on his chin and said, "Okay, I know, I'll go out for a while." ”
Aunt Fu shouted again and again, "Why are you going back again, it's time for lunch soon." ”
Uncle Fu ignored her, walked briskly to the door of a house with two courtyards, and went in after the report.
Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa took Aunt Yang to buy some odd things, Xiao Yue bought cotton and cloth that can make 2 quilts and mattresses, bought several pieces of cloth for Aunt Yang to make clothes, and bought some things to use at home.
took Aunt Yang to a pharmacy, after all, the doctor's medical skills in the town are better than those in the village. The doctor also said that the body was losing a lot of money, and he had to take care of it, and prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and the three of them went back after finishing their work.
Aunt Yang has been making clothes for herself in the yard for the past few days, she didn't do it originally, but Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue kept persuading her, and she agreed.
Xiao Yue spread a mat in the courtyard and made her own bedding. The two chatted while doing needlework, and rumors spread in the village about Aunt Yang.
Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa also heard about it, but they ignored it, the more they explained this kind of thing, the more inexplicable it became, and after a long time, the people in the village felt that there was nothing new and it passed.
Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa ignored it, but some people were in a hurry.
On this day, Xiao Yue took Yang Changfa's changed clothes to the river to be cleaned, and when she came back and walked to the door, she heard the sound of someone arguing in the yard.
When she went in to take a look, it turned out to be Yang Changfa's uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, old man Yang, and Wu were here, and Yang Xiaogu was standing on the side with red eyes, Wu and Yang had a quarrel, and the men were standing aside.
Xiao Yue was a little puzzled how these people could come together. In fact, she didn't know that since Yang Changfu became an official, people on the other side of the Yang family's old house were praised everywhere they went, and of course there were many people who were related to the old family to set up relationships. They are afraid that others will take advantage of their own advantages, so they take the initiative to alienate their relatives.
This time, Aunt Yang came back from an injury, and they were afraid that she would come back to fight the autumn wind, and they were afraid that she would cause trouble and affect themselves, so they wanted Yang Changfa to drive her away.
That day, Yang Changfa was asked to go back to the old house for this matter, but Yang Changfa did not agree. Although Wu and Old Man Yang were angry, they couldn't help it, and they couldn't go to their son's house to catch up with their sister.
