4. Controversy in the cafeteria
As night fell, a drizzle fell over the land. The road was wet, and passers-by were walking cautiously. A cold wind blew, and the rain was cold and cold on people's faces. It's still a little sore!
The breeze blows, and the drizzle is like a filament sprinkled on the flowers and trees. Flowers and trees swayed in the rainy night, as if greedily sucking the nectar of spring. Raindrops flowed down the stems of flowers and plants into the soil, bringing the first joyful rain of spring to the dry soil!
A spring rain finally sent away the dryness of winter and ushered in a drizzling spring. However, the atmosphere inside the Li Mansion canteen, which is right next to the street. At this moment, it is full of cold winter!
The Li family sat around the dinner table for dinner, the whole process. Li Yunfei didn't say a word, nor did he take the initiative to clip a piece of food. His face was as if he had been frozen by the "omnipotent" glue!
Yue Hongying quickly noticed her husband's abnormality, she looked at the man next to her suspiciously, and put a few pieces of meat in his rice bowl one after another. Inexplicably asked: Yunfei, what's wrong with you? Is the Yamen's affairs not going well?
Hearing this, Li Yunfei looked at his wife with a look of wanting to say something, and then lowered his head and continued to eat.
was so anxious that Yue Hongying kept tapping with chopsticks: his rice bowl. Said impatiently: Yunfei, what is the matter, you can tell it. Who are you showing with such a face?
When Li Yunfei heard this, he still didn't raise his head and muttered sullenly: Hongying, let's talk about it after dinner. As he spoke, he quickly grabbed the food and put it in his mouth and devoured it!
Then, Li Yunlong, who was sitting opposite, saw that his eldest brother's rice bowl had fallen into his tears. He looked at his eldest brother in a daze, and couldn't help but add another layer of uneasiness in his heart: Oh, I already said against my will two days ago that I would no longer mention going to the capital to take the exam. Big brother is like this, which play is he singing?
Just when he wanted to ask his eldest brother for clarification, he clearly heard his seventy-year-old mother beside him. He let out a long sigh softly, but didn't say anything. Then, I felt it: my mother's hand pinched his thigh.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but turn his head to look at his mother, and saw that his mother shook her head at him. said flatly: Yunlong, your eldest brother must have something to worry about. Don't block him anymore!
However, the two nephews also noticed that Daddy's abnormal behavior was unusual. The eldest of the two children was twelve years old, and the youngest was only eight years old. Of course, they can't understand: why is today's dad unhappy?
At this moment, the two children turned to Li Yunfei and said uneasily: Daddy, because my mother did not agree to my uncle going to the capital to take the exam. Are you still angry?
Hearing this, Li Yunfei didn't want to scare the two childish children. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: Rui'er, Hua'er, Daddy just feels bored. You two don't have to think about it!
As soon as his words landed, the two children looked at their mothers tremblingly. said in unison: Mother, why is Daddy not happy at all? Did you quarrel with your dad again?
Hearing this, Yue Hongying's face changed sharply, she snatched her eldest brother's job and put it aside, and said menacingly: Yunfei, you are like this, it is my Yue Hongying who owed you the debt in her last life, didn't you pay it back? If you don't make things clear today, we won't both eat. Whether you say it or not, you can see what you do!
As she spoke, she put some fish and meat in the children's rice bowls, waved her hand and said: You two go to the kitchen to eat, there are green vegetable tofu soup and cabbage and pork liver soup in the kitchen pot, you can drink it yourself!
The two children looked at their father and mother with trepidation. just resignedly left the table with the rice bowl.
Seeing the children's backs completely disappear outside the hall, Yue Hongying put down her chopsticks with a "snap", twisted her head to the side and muttered angrily: Hmph, who do you want to disgust? It's inexplicable!
Hearing this, Li Yun stood up quickly, wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief, and said in a choked voice: Hongying, you speak. How come you never know, touch your conscience and say it?
When Li Yunlong heard this, he hurriedly reached out and pulled his trouser tube and kindly reminded: Big brother, you say so. But it's "stabbed the hornet's nest", hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law!
Then, Yue Hongying's extremely domineering words mercilessly drilled into his ears: Aha, with you being depressed here for a long time, I have been provoked by you. Hmph, you're really getting better. I didn't think of it at all!
As soon as the words landed, she also stood up, her eyes were like eagle eyes, and she glared at her husband and said: Li Yunfei, I want to see how much ability you have?
At this time, Li Yunlong and his mother suddenly blurred their heads, as if they had suddenly stepped into the situation of "clouds and fog": in the past, Li Yunfei's attitude towards his wife was like "a lamb meets a wolf"! However, he quarreled with his wife "unprecedentedly" today. This is what this girl really didn't think about!
At this time, Li Yunfei's words of grief and indignation accusing his wife were like the "snow in June", floating into the ears of Li Yunlong and his mother: Hongying, which man have you seen that you can watch your relatives being wronged? My mood in the past few days has really been tormented like a sudden "knife and fire". Do you understand?
Yue Hongying stretched out her hand and poked her husband's forehead, and said gloomily: Yunfei, I heard it, you want to send your uncle to the capital next year to take the exam. Have you ever thought that just the cost of traveling back and forth from our town to the capital will cost a lot of money? In addition, when the uncle went to the capital, he had to visit his mentor Yang Jun, the examiner Xu Changyuan, and Pan Yuhua, have you calculated how much the cost of this trip to Beijing will cost----
Before she could finish speaking, Li Yunfei bowed to her with his hands in fists, and then knelt on the ground with a "poof" as soon as his legs were bent. Raising his head and pleading with his wife in mourning: Hongying, I beg you. All right? If, with a clear conscience, we prevent our younger brother from going to the capital, the father under Jiuquan will definitely not be able to turn a blind eye. The ancestors of the Li family will never let go, we and our children.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong and his mother burst into tears. At this moment, the mother and son are even dreaming of "One Thousand and One Nights". It would never be unthinkable that Li Yunfei, who has always been loyal and honest, would be able to disdain all the dignity of a man for the sake of his younger brother's future. He knelt on the ground and begged his wife!
The scene that happened in front of them stirred the hearts of the two of them rapidly: Hey, today's matter, Li Yunfei can do this, it is indeed commendable. However, with Yue Hongying's selfish personality, she agreed to this matter. Unless "the sun comes out of the west" Oh! If, in the end, the outcome of this matter still does not work out. Then, Li Yunlong's life should be like this!
At this time, two childish voices came from outside the hall: Mother, mother, you agreed to Daddy's request. Let Uncle go to the capital next year to take the exam! Subsequently, the two nephews rushed to the side of their father, knelt down and took their mother's hand, and kept shaking and begging: Mother, you have already promised your critically ill grandfather about going to the capital to take the exam. Now, why don't you say yes to Daddy?
The words of the two nephews moved Li Yunlong's heart very much. Gradually, his eyes moistened!
Because, he thought: Usually, the sister-in-law has always been willful, pampered, and domineering, suppressing the eldest brother like a "parasite". is called by the sister-in-law every day, without the slightest man's self-esteem and arrogance. It's the "puppet" of the sister-in-law at all! The villagers and elders of the ten miles and eight towns, as long as the eldest brother is mentioned, they will not hesitate to give the eldest brother a meaningful nickname - wife and strict control.
However, at this moment, he would never have thought that his sister-in-law gave birth to a child in October, and her blood flowed from her body. The personality is the opposite of her!
Seeing this, he couldn't help but think: Hey, as the saying goes, "tiger poison does not eat children", I hope my sister-in-law can listen to the words of the two children. Otherwise, the matter of going to Beijing to take the exam is really "hopeless"!
Although, Li Yunlong has been worried about it in his heart: Can his ideals be realized? However, the two nephews are so well-behaved, sensible, and kind, Li Yunlong still feels extremely relieved in his heart!
However, how would the young Li Yunlong know: As soon as the eldest brother's words landed, the sister-in-law looked at the three grandfathers in front of her in surprise. My heart is like the "overturned vinegar bottle" that is extremely sour!
This sourness immediately spread all over her body, and soon the sweetness in her heart was to be smoked away. At this moment, no words can express: her sour mood at this time!
I saw that Yue Hongying stood up suddenly, glared at her husband and said, "Hmph, look at your good lead." Are you going to me off alive?
Then, she pulled up her two sons and said meaningfully: Rui'er, Hua'er, you are still young. I don't know that Mom is doing this for the good of both of you. Mom hopes that you two will stop "messing around" and go back to your room to do your homework!
Who knows, the two sons took her hand and shouted anxiously: Mother, mother, the old gentleman in the private school taught us that we must be "a gentleman takes money in a good way". Don't embarrass Uncle again!
When Li Yunfei heard this, he hugged the two children with great emotion, and said with tears in his eyes: Rui'er, Hua'er, you two are right. Daddy was so impressed!
At this time, Yue Hongying scolded angrily at the three of them: Hmph, you have all discussed it together, and you are deliberately demolishing the stage for me. Li Yunfei, listen to me, as long as I still have a breath of air, I don't believe in this evil! Let's see which of your Li family's dead ghosts will jump out of the ground. Come and settle accounts with me!
At this time, Mrs. Ruan, who was on the side, couldn't help but stand up anymore, looked at her, who was the daughter-in-law of the long house, and coughed and said: Hongying, in front of the baby, you are an elder. How can you say such an incredible thing? What do you want the two babies to learn from you? There is an old saying that "the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked", haven't you heard of it? I don't look like an adult at all!
It stands to reason that Mrs. Ruan's words have some basis. There is no shortage of etiquette at all!
However, Yue Hongying is a difficult master who "unforgives people unreasonably, and stirs up three points unreasonably". As soon as the mother-in-law's words landed, she was like a fierce tiger, scurrying in front of the old man, laughing wildly and shouting: Hahaha----, mother thinks I don't speak well? Okay, let's just say a few kind words for your old man. Uncle will go to the capital to take the exam next year, and there is no door! I want to see what else you can do with me, so old?
Li Yunfei, who was kneeling, really didn't expect that as the wife of his daughter-in-law, he would be able to say these "rebellious" words. He knew very well that these words must have hurt his mother's heart: the lonely old heart. You must not let your wife continue to treat her mother like this!
So, he finally couldn't help but stand up, hid his hands in fists behind him and walked in front of his wife, and said abruptly with green veins on his forehead: Hongying, you, you are too much. Please hurry up and tell your mother, we used to be so sorry for you!
Yue Hongying, who has an arrogant and unreasonable personality, can't listen to her husband's words at all. She wouldn't have believed that Li Yunfei, who has a cowardly and kind personality, would be angry at what she just said. I'll even fight her! Therefore, she deliberately turned her head away "blindly, without hearing", and a light sneer broke out of her nostrils.
In fact, Li Yunfei just clenched his fists with both hands just for his mother, younger brothers, and sons. He really hopes that his wife can apologize to his mother for "seeing the wind and making the rudder". If his wife really listens to him and apologizes to his mother, he can "get off the donkey down the slope". However, at the moment, his wife did not do what he said, his hands were really "ready to fly"!
Next, two crisp sounds drifted into the ears of his mother and Li Yunlong with the wind. The lady and son, who were contemplative, raised their heads in surprise and followed the reputation!
I saw Yue Hongying covering her cheeks with her hands, and staring at Li Yunfei with her eyes blazing. Gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, you really hit me." I'll make you regret it! After speaking, she wiped her tears and dragged the two children out of the gate of the Li Mansion together!
The mother was so anxious that she stomped her foot at the eldest brother, coughed and said, "Yunfei, what are you doing here?" Hurry up and chase her back!
Originally, looking at the back of his wife leaving, Li Yunfei was still stunned and looked at his hands silently. When he heard his mother's voice, he ran into the utility room, took out an axe and rushed into their room!
After a while, the sound of "ding dong, ding dong" knocking on the iron lock made him stick his head out of the crack in the door, and went forward and into the hall one after another: the ears of his mother and Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong was extremely moved and said: Mother, my eldest brother is smashing the lock of the box containing money for me.
Li Yunlong's words, the mother who was so shocked that she cried, suddenly woke up and shouted: Yunlong, hurry up and go back to me to stop it, your eldest brother knocked on the box lock. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!
As she spoke, she coughed and stood up, and ran tremblingly into her eldest son's room on crutches.
The mother's words made Li Yunlong suddenly remember: Just now, the sister-in-law dragged the two children back to her parents' house, and she must have gone to "move the rescuers"!
Thinking of this, he hurried into Li Yunfei's room with a spirit. Grabbed his arm and said anxiously: Oh, my sister-in-law's parents and brothers are all arrogant and unreasonable. Don't knock again!
In the room, Yue Hongying took a handful of gold and silver treasures from the half-opened wooden box, and put the gold and silver treasures into an open cloth bag. The mother hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and said sharply: Yunfei, you quickly put these things in. The eldest brother said with tears in his eyes: Mother, these things should have a part of Yunlong. Hongying couldn't hear my proposal at all, and Hongying, a piece of Yunlong's family property, was also deliberately occupied. That's all I can do!
Li Yunlong grabbed a cloth bag on the side of the box and held it up against the mouth of the box, and the gold and silver treasures fell into the box again.
Li Yunfei was extremely surprised and said: Yunlong, these things are a fraction of what you should get. Why are you doing that? If you are too little, then even take this wooden box with you!
Li Yunlong took his hand, put his mouth to his ear and said: "Big brother, everything you have done for me. I'm very, very grateful! However, if it is not something that my sister-in-law willingly gave me, I can't ask for it.
Hearing this, Li Yunfei said helplessly: Yunlong, your sister-in-law, you should know that she will never be able to wait, she is willing to give you a share of the family property you deserve.
Li Yunlong said emotionally: Big brother, that's what I said. However, I can't stand by and watch, because my share of the family property will destroy your family. I'm going to the capital next year to take the exam, so let me try to figure it out by myself!
In fact, he knew that he was a stinky boy who had never set foot in society. I don't have any interpersonal relationships at all, and I know where to find a job for a while? Who wants to take him in and work in a thin body? He has no work to do, so why should he raise money to go to the capital next year to participate in the "Autumn Festival"?
When he returned to the room and lay on the bed, Li Yunlong suddenly remembered: his sister-in-law had to go back once a week, and he heard his two nephews say, "My mother went back to find a cousin to calculate his fortune."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: Hey, since the sister-in-law loves "fortune telling". Why don't we just find a fortune teller and come to the house to "knock" her? Perhaps, you can successfully "persuade" her to change her mind by mistake?
Then, Li Yunlong closed his eyes. I silently thought in my heart: Hey, I hope the night will retreat soon. A better tomorrow is coming soon!
