Chapter 5 Remittance Slips
"Is it because you didn't change your name?" Wang Yazhi looked at the two red marks on Kou Xi's face in distress. Kou Xi covered his arms and grinned, tears rolling down.
Not to mention that Wang Yazhi is her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law is distressed, so she helped her to walk into the house: "What's the matter? Why did you beat you?"
"I wondered if I hadn't changed my name, and I thought about buying a pound of peach crisp and going home to coax them. Before Kou Xi finished speaking, Wang Yazhi scolded her head and face: "You still buy them peach cakes? ”
Kou Xi sobbed: "As soon as I entered the gate, Huo Tianyi ran over to ask me. I gave him a piece to eat first, and my mother-in-law saw it and said that I was too picky and gave too little. I was not happy in my heart, and I said that it would be good for me to be a lady. I want to eat it and ask his parents to buy it, but my mother-in-law is in a hurry. ”
Old Mother-in-law wrung a clean handkerchief, handed it to Kou Xi and said gently: "Girl, wipe your face and speak slowly." Don't be afraid, our old family will support you. This is your mother's house, we can't let them bully. ”
Kou Xi sighed and said, "Thank you, auntie, hey, I just don't have that good life." My mother has been dead since I was a child, and I wonder if I can be a good mother-in-law like you, how can I expect to meet such a ....."
The old mother-in-law was very comfortable, and patted her chest and said: "You will treat me as your own mother, don't worry, we will support you." ”
Kou Xi said again: "I went back to the house to find a dress to wear to work tomorrow, and my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law came in." As soon as he came in, he yelled at me, saying that I couldn't do this or that's wrong. My brother and daughter-in-law said that even if I gave up the quota to my brother-in-law, the two of them didn't appreciate it. That's what I should have been, because I got married and robbed them of their house. My mother-in-law also said that the old Huo family gave me a bride price of 3,000 yuan, and I should work for my brother-in-law. ”
didn't wait for Kou Xi to finish speaking, Wang Yazhi's carbon-like temper couldn't stand it. crackled and said, "That's not right, she didn't give you this bride price." It's your man's own salary, and the daughter-in-law who others pay for their own money, what does it have to do with them?"
"Yes, I also said that the old house was originally built by my mother-in-law when she was alive. For so many years, our old man didn't spend money to build a house, and I didn't build a house when I got married, so shouldn't we live in the east house? Why are the two of us outsiders?" Kou Xi was angry and aggrieved: "My mother-in-law also said that I ate and drank for nothing at home, and I didn't give a penny of living expenses. ”
"Don't give living expenses?" Wang Yazhi was angry: "him numb! After you got married, Huo An sent 100 yuan to the post office every month. Isn't this money collected by your mother-in-law, why didn't you give it to you? 100 yuan a month, where did you spend it? And you still ask for living expenses?"
Kou Xi looked at Wang Yazhi with a confused expression: "Huh?"
Wang Yazhi saw her stupid look, and nodded on her head with hatred: "Didn't Huo An remit his salary to the post office in the past two months? The post office sent the remittance slip to your house, and everyone saw that it was your mother-in-law who went to get the money." I ask you, did you give you this money?"
Kou Xi felt that when he remembered it, it seemed that there was such a thing. When she first got married, her mother-in-law coaxed her to say that Kou Xi was young and ignorant. She saved the money for the two of them, and then what happened? Oh, it was Huo An who came back from family leave and told her to let her save the money herself. She just had the first passbook in her life, and the money she had before was gone.
is really reborn, and many things follow one after another, and she can't remember it carefully. If it weren't for her cousin Wang Yazhi mentioning it on the side, she really couldn't remember it for a while.
Looking at Kou Xi's angry appearance, Wang Yazhi felt aggrieved. She said to Kou Xi: "You stay with me, I'll go and ask the old Huo family if I can get by." You can't split up in a hurry, it's not okay to bully people like this. ”
Kou Xi hurriedly caught up and said timidly: "I, my mother-in-law is amazing." Sister, can you do it alone?"
"It's really interesting!" Wang Yazhi patted her chest and said, "I'm not a vegetarian either." You can rest assured that you will stay here today, and you will go to work tomorrow morning. Lao Huo's family doesn't want to hand over the remittances for these two months, don't want to pick you up from our house. There is no royal law! I really can't do it, so I'll go to the commune to file a complaint. Look where their family's faces are gone!"
Kou Xi's heart is warm, and it feels so good to be cared for. If she hadn't had this cousin thinking about it all these years, she wouldn't have known how much she would have to suffer.
It's a pity that my cousin is good at everything, but the family is too poor. After giving birth to two children and not going to college, she worked all her life facing the yellow earth. When he was old, he also went to Shandong to peel garlic to earn pension money.
Kou Xi secretly decided that if she really came back, she would definitely take her cousin to make a fortune this time, and no longer let her work hard for life.
Just thinking about it, Wang Yazhi had already gone to the stable. took out a long horsewhip and called out to the daughter-in-law next door. The two old ladies who were five big and three rough were in a hurry, scolding and scolding all the way, and rushed to the Huo family with high spirits.
It's not Kou Xi's cowardice, she has always been passive since she woke up. It's not a good time to have a face-to-face conflict with her in-laws, and she really needs a buffer time to think.
Old Yu persuaded her to lie in the house for a while. I couldn't help but quietly go out to see the excitement, wanting to see how my daughter-in-law who exploded like carbon cleaned up the shameless crooked mother-in-law of the old Huo family.
Now that the autumn harvest has passed, there is nothing for every family to do. When you hear some movement, don't all the whole family go out to see the excitement.
Li Cuilian was smoking her daughter-in-law in the yard just now, and it had already spread in that area. And Kou Xi covered his face and cried along the way, which also attracted a lot of people who watched the excitement.
At this time, I saw Wang Yazhi holding a horsewhip and rushing out all the way. They were all excited, as if they were all excited, and thirty or forty old people, children, men, and women, followed behind Wang Yazhi.
There was even a half-grown son who had that good thing and ran to the Huo family to report: "The daughter-in-law of the old Yu family is here, and the daughter-in-law of the old Yu family is here!"
Li Cuilian saw Kou Xi crying and running out just now, and she understood in her heart that this was a bad thing. Wherever she could go, she must have gone to her cousin's house. This Wang Yazhi can also be regarded as the introducer of Huo An and Kou Xi, and she can't tell how many mouths she has when she comes to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
She didn't dare to let Huo Dagui know that no matter how Wang Yazhi scolded outside at this time, she just shrunk her head and the turtle just didn't go out.
But how could Huo Dagui not hear it, he didn't pay attention to what was going on just now. As soon as I got out of the tofu room at this time, I saw many people watching the excitement around my yard, and immediately walked to the gate. Pulling Wang Yazhi and asking, "Niece and daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Wang Yazhi sneered: "Uncle, don't assume that you don't know. My sister let your mother-in-law beat her up, and this can't be counted like this. I'm just here to ask your family, why did you beat her? My old brother-in-law hasn't even touched a finger from her, why is your family so bullying?"
Huo Dagui's face was full of surprise: "Who beat it? Huo Lu beat it?"
"Can't?" Wang Yazhi exploded: "I'm such a big person, can I lie? I can lie, Kou Xi's face is full of red marks she smoked, is it fake? You ask this neighbor in front of you, everyone saw Kou Xi being beaten by your daughter-in-law in your yard. ”
Wang Yazhi simply didn't even shout "uncle": "Huo Dagui, there is no such bullying as your family! How do you still want to take advantage? Ah? Your daughter-in-law is not even willing to build a house, and my old brother-in-law still accompanies a TV set and a sewing machine. I'll just ask you, do you want to show face? My sister can't get married, so your family is so bullied? Let me tell you, don't you explain these things to me today. Let's go to the commune, go to the government and say, look at what your family is doing!"
Huo Dagui was ridiculed like this by a junior, and his face was full of anger.
There is a daughter-in-law who is familiar with Wang Yazhi, and she doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement and says: "That's right, Kou Xi is very good." Why are you beating people like that in the yard! Aren't people's parents distressed? You see that other people's men are in the army, so they bully her and she is helpless!"
"Oh mom, I haven't heard of deducting my son's remittance. Li Cuilian is so embarrassed, really good, I haven't heard that there is still a woman who asks her daughter-in-law for food. ”
"If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, isn't this what this thing is all about. It's a hundred dollars a month, what kind of face do you need for money!"
"Kou Xi can really bear it, if I didn't do it a long time ago!"
"No, you new daughter-in-law. The mother's family is not here, and the man can't see him once a year in the army, but he is just allowed to be bullied by his mother-in-law's family. ”
"Oh mom, it's really pitiful! Tut-tut, Huo Dagui is so powerful, I didn't find out that he was such a person before! Fortunately, I didn't tell my daughter to his family, so I won't regret dying." ”
Huo Dagui was pointed at by the people around him, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
He was furious, turned around and yelled at the house: "Hey, Li Cuilian, get the fuck out of here!"
Gao Liman trembled with the child in his arms, and did not dare to make a sound. Li Cuilian didn't dare to breathe even more, and decided that she would not take it out today even if she said that she would break the sky.
Huo Dagui failed to call his daughter-in-law out, and was ridiculed by the men around him who were watching the excitement: "Oh, Huo Dagui, you can't do this." You are not in charge of the house at home, and your daughter-in-law is not used to you at all. Oops, what a stumbling one!"
Huo Dagui, who was irrational, rushed into the house angrily. grabbed Li Cuilian, who refused to go out, and dragged her to the yard. Pointing at the people outside, he yelled at Li Cuilian: "What's the matter!"
