Chapter 53: Old Accounts (2)
"Okay, now that my in-laws also know, I won't talk any more nonsense. At this point, it is unrealistic for our children to live with yours anymore. What we mean is that if we can discuss it, it can be regarded as fate, and then everyone will get together and disperse. Zhang Dazhuang looked at Gu Wu and nodded, so he directly spread out the words and said.
"The eldest daughter-in-law is good, but the eldest of our family is not blessed, I'm sorry for her." Gu Wu looked guilty, "If you have any requirements, you can mention them, and I will not object to what you can do." ”
"No, why ......" Chen Suxiang shouted, Gu Wu cut it with a knife, Gu Jinhua quickly grabbed her and whispered: "Mom, Mom, don't get excited, let's listen to what they say first." ”
Chen Suxiang stopped her mouth fiercely, and her face was gloomy.
Being slapped in front of Gu Wu in public aroused her fighting spirit and made up her mind, even if Gu Wu beat her again, she would definitely not be able to let her go. It's a big deal, she's used to being beaten anyway, can this dead old man really kill her on the spot? Isn't the worst thing to lie in bed for a few more days, it just so happens that now she has a second daughter-in-law who doesn't have to stand up to cook.
At this critical time, the second daughter-in-law hid as soon as she came back, and she didn't say anything to help her? Chen Suxiang was annoyed - this is not crawling out of her stomach, in the end, it is unreliable......
Zhang Dazhuang, Wen Xiu and the others looked at Chen Suxiang, who was staring at the side, ready to pounce and bite at any time, and knew that the next conversation would definitely not be pleasant.
Who's afraid of whom?
Wen Xiu knows that her wife is a gentle person who doesn't like to compete with others too much, but this is not the time to be a good person. She didn't force him to change his temper all of a sudden, so she pushed him away and rolled up her sleeves herself. She didn't even look at Chen Suxiang, so she smiled at Gu Wupi and said: "Father-in-law, our two families have been married for so many years, you should also know that our Zhang family is not an unreasonable family, right?" It stands to reason that it's really not interesting to turn over the old accounts, but I can't bear that some people not only do too much but also don't cultivate their morals, and some things are probably kept in the dark and you don't know. So today, I can't help but take advantage of this opportunity to say a few words. ”
"You say."
Gu Wu saw that Wen Xiu was angry, but his words were still orderly, and he didn't scold people at all, so he nodded gently.
"Let's just say that your house has been built and made of furniture, at the beginning, our family worked hard and gave you more than a month of work, although it was a slack at that time, but the field was not completely devoid of work. At that time, because our relationship was still good, and you would be in a difficult situation, we didn't bother to help you, not only delayed the work in the field, but also didn't go to the odd jobs that could have gone out to find some compensation for the family, which was enough to do our best, right? ”
"We have to thank you for this."
"There is no need to be grateful, as long as the people of your family do not resent and slander us behind their backs, it is fine. Didn't we help you because you and we were in-laws, and we thought that we could save you some money because we wanted you to be nicer to my children? Today I mention this again not to ask for any gratitude from your family, I just feel that some words are not said again, and I feel panicked. ”
Wen Xiu said that tears fell suddenly, and her voice choked.
"Is there a misunderstanding here?"
Gu Wu was stunned, and he didn't believe Wen Xiu's words in his heart. What did she say? The in-laws help their own work, and their own family naturally only has gratitude, how can they still talk about resentment and slander?
Misunderstand?
Hum--
Wen Xiu didn't answer his words, wiped her tears and continued to walk at her own pace: "At the beginning, my old man and two younger sons worked in your house, but do you know what they eat at every meal? Even if there is no meat, no oil and water in the dish, our old man and children have also lived a hard life, so we won't be shallow and worry about these things with you. But the staple food of every meal is not enough, and the dishes are either fried or salty and cannot be eaten, so people can only drink cold water and mix it to a full stomach. Even the landlords and old rich people in the old society didn't go so far as you did, right? ”
Even Zhang Weiqiang and Zhang Minzhen heard about this for the first time, they didn't know that their father and two brothers helped the Gu family work, but neither of the two brothers and sisters knew that the three of them were treated like this when they were working. Only Lin Qin knew the truth and was instructed not to tell the brother and sister.
Zhang Weiqiang clenched his fists, and his face was ugly.
Zhang Minzhen's eyes were red, and she asked Wen Xiu with a crying voice: "Mom, why didn't you tell me about this at the time?" ”
"Tell you what to do, can you still quarrel with them?" Wen Xiu's tone was a little helpless, why did she and her old man endure it? It's not that they don't want to make their daughter and in-laws turn their faces because of this? It's not that the two of them are like this out there who can be bullied casually. On the contrary, because her wife has a bit of crop skills in her hands, and the existence of her eldest son, she has been setting up stalls to sell small things over the years, and even those ruffians and scoundrels on the street do not dare to come to find fault and bully.
"But no matter what, I can't wronged my dad, second brother, and third brother like this." asked his father and brother to work for his mother-in-law's family, but his mother-in-law's family didn't even have enough to eat, and Zhang Minzhen hated her weakness and incompetence over the years.
"I didn't wronged them, and then I prepared a nest for them to eat on the way back, and I didn't lose their mouths when I got home, how could I not let them eat better when I got home? Oh, I'm talking about it, don't interrupt again, what's there when we go back, let's talk about it slowly. Wen Xiu stopped her daughter from continuing to pester, and turned to look at Gu Wu to see what he said.
Wen Xiu's words made Gu Wu even more embarrassed when he heard it.
It's true that he doesn't care about the affairs of the family, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't know the etiquette and doesn't care about the relationship at all, on the contrary, there are some things engraved in his bones that make him value some things more than anyone in the family.
At the beginning, his in-laws came to help with the work, although he said that he was helping, but there were so many furniture used inside and outside the house, how could he really ask his in-laws to do day work, and the family was not really difficult to that extent. The old woman also knew that he still had some old things in his hands, so he specially took a gold bar out and asked her to secretly exchange it for cash.
