Chapter 4: Quarrels
Gao Liman heard her mother-in-law's scolding, and ran out excitedly with her daughter in her arms.
I couldn't hide the excitement in my eyes, but I had to pretend to be surprised and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Who provoked you?"
Li Cuilian came out of the vegetable garden in a hurry, patted the soil on her body, and gritted her teeth as she walked: "The little slut of Malegobi, I really gave you face." Dare to quarrel with me, I think she has a good life at the end. ”
"Oh, is it my sister-in-law?" Gao Liman pretended to be surprised, and just now his son ran in with a piece of peach cake to show off. The daughter in her arms screamed greedily, and she herself hadn't eaten peach cake for months. couldn't help but break a piece on his son's peach cake, and rolled Huo Tian on the ground in a fit of anger.
She was coaxing her son: "I'll ask your aunt for it after eating!" As soon as the words fell, she heard her mother-in-law scolding Kou Xi.
At this time, Gao Liman followed behind her mother-in-law with the child in her arms and entered Kou Xi's room.
Huo Dagui also started making tofu in the past two years, and the tofu he made was delicious and the price was fair. A piece of water tofu with a square bowl is three dollars a dime, and these three pieces are 1 catty! Riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys to sell tofu, selling a drawer in the morning, a drawer at noon, and a drawer in the evening. Although the sales are good, they are not very profitable, and there are no other reasons why many families do not give money. Most of them exchanged their own soybeans for tofu to eat, half a catty of soybeans for a catty of water tofu, and Huo Dagui finally earned a manual fee.
Therefore, the Huo family has not been separated, for no other reason than because there is no money. Originally, I was counting on Huo An to get married and lead Kou Xi to live in the army, so that if there is a house there, the family will be worry-free. Who would have thought that it would backfire.
Kou Xi is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she was supposed to live in the East House. It's a pity that the East House originally lived in the two of Gao Liman. And Kou Xi was alone, and the Huo family arranged for her to sleep in the hut next to Huo Dagui's main house.
Who would have thought that before getting married, the dowry sent by the Kou family was extremely rich, and that cottage couldn't fit at all. It is impossible for the father-in-law to use his daughter-in-law's dowry to drive his daughter-in-law to the hut with the cellar. Build a house temporarily, and there is not enough time.
In the end, Gao Liman and his family moved to the hut in the main house, and Huo Tianyi followed his grandparents to sleep on the big kang that could accommodate seven or eight people.
Kou Xi moved into the freshly painted East House and packed her dowry in one go.
Kou Dewang has such a daughter, and he is a purchaser of the supply and marketing cooperative, so he must buy some good dowry for his daughter.
At the beginning, Huo An gave the Kou family a bride price of 3,000 yuan, which shocked everyone. Everyone said that Kou Dewang was really lucky to find such a stupid and rich uncle.
After turning around, Kou Dewang bought an extremely rich dowry: a butterfly brand sewing machine cost 350 yuan, and a Beijing brand 19-inch color TV cost 3,000 yuan. With these two dowries, Kouxi in the entire Hongqi Town is also unique.
No matter how thick-skinned Huo Dagui was, he was embarrassed to let Kou Xi live in a hut where the cellar took up one-third of the cellar. Gao Liman was no longer happy, so he could only reluctantly move out.
Therefore, when he entered Kou Xi's room, Gao Liman was angry!
Li Cuilian rushed in in a rage, and was angry at Kou Xi, who was rummaging through the camphor wood box looking for clothes.
"Kou Xi, did I give you a face, kick your nose in the face, right?"
Kou Xi looked back with a look of surprise on his face: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Cuilian was angry, what annoyed her the most was Kou Xi's innocent appearance. When she spoke louder, she lost her face as if someone was bullying her.
"What did you just say, you don't know yourself?" Li Cuilian pointed to Kou Xi's nose and scolded, "What about you and Sei?"
Kou Xi looked innocent: "Isn't what I said wrong? My father gave me the money to buy the peach cake, and you didn't give me the money to buy it." I give Tianyi food to me as a mother's kindness, so you can't pick what I give less. I want to eat it and let his parents buy it themselves, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Li Cuilian was speechless, but she still had to argue strongly: "Of course there is a problem, you are his aunt, you should buy it for him." Besides, you're quite the boss, what are you going to eat when you buy this thing?
"Rich!" Kou Xi nodded stunnedly: "If you don't have money, how can you get me a job!"
"Don't think that you gave up your job to Horu, you are the hero of our family. Li Cuilian's face gradually revealed: "I'll tell you, Kou Xi, this is what you should do." You live in Lao Huo's house, we don't care if you want living expenses, it's good. Let you eat and drink for nothing, don't do any work every day, what do you want you to do? Besides, our old Huo family spent so much money to marry you back, you shouldn't make some contributions!"
Gao Liman nodded again and again: "That's it, the bride price of 3,000 yuan." Your family's heart is black enough, you really dare to ask for it! I only gave a bride price of 600 yuan at that time, and I also gave birth to a grandson to the old Huo family. What did I say, I didn't pick on it at all, did I, Mom!",
Li Cuilian nodded again and again, looked at her daughter-in-law and said with satisfaction: "Well, you are a worry-free person." Turning his head and looking at Kou Xi again, he sneered: "Can you give birth to a son? You can't give birth to a son, so many dowries, are you embarrassed?"
Kou Xi sneered: "The bride price money is not given by you, it is the salary that my man earns himself." What did it cost your family to marry me? Didn't you just paint the walls of this house? Twenty dollars is enough, right?"
Li Cuilian leaned back angrily, pointed at Kou Xi's face and trembled: "You fart, Huo An's money is the money of the old Huo family." It doesn't matter who pays for this money, it's all from our old Huo family!"
Kou Xi pouted: "That's what he is willing to offer, and I am worth the price." Besides, my dowry is higher than the bride price. Without me, you would have to go to someone else's house to borrow a sewing machine. Huo Tianyi has grown up in my house, and I have to pay the electricity bill every day to watch TV, why? ”
"You!" Li Cuilian said angrily: "There is a thing that has a father and no mother, it is a young education!"
Kou Xi exploded, glared at his eyes and roared: "What did you say? You tell me again? Who has a father and no mother? Say it again!"
Seeing Kou Xi like an angry lion, Li Cuilian felt timid. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have also been in prison for two months, and they have long figured out what her temperament is like. I never thought that Kou Xi would have such a big fire, and his momentum suddenly became half a point shorter: "You, why do you still want to hit me?"
"Hmph, you're really impressive. Alright, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Let's go, I'm going to change my clothes. "Kou Xi gave an eviction order, but Gao Liman here was not happy.
shouted screaming: "Kou Xi, is this your attitude of talking to your mother? Mom said that you are the top ten sentences, whose daughter-in-law is like you!"
Kou Xi said coldly: "Yes, no daughter-in-law is as stupid as me." If you don't do a good job, you have to give it to your uncle, there is really no such fool in the country. ”
Gao Liman snorted: "I really think we asked for you, don't you? Don't think you're great, tell you, even if it's given to us, we won't take your favor." Mom is right, this is what you should be. ”
"Should it?" Kou Xi repeated in a low voice as he narrowed his eyes.
"Why shouldn't it be? You live in our house, we move to the cottage, and that's what you compensate us. Who doesn't know that the two of us are benevolent and righteous, and who doesn't pay attention to you bullying people behind your back!" Gao Liman's words made Kou Xi think of one thing.
At that time, she was really not good in the eyes of her relatives and neighbors, and she was promoted by Li Cuilian and Gao Liman as a daughter-in-law who was lazy and did not give birth and loved to play with her temper.
"I remember that this old house was built by my mother-in-law back then, and Huo An is the eldest son, shouldn't we live in the East House?" Kou Xi asked rhetorically, turning Li Cuilian's old face red.
Nodding again and again: "Okay, okay, little deflated calf." You're starting to blow up your wings with me now, aren't you? Okay, I'm disgusted with the short-lived Zhang Guiying, right?"
Li Cuilian walked around the house, taking care of the things that were handy everywhere. Finally, I saw a feather duster on the kang, grabbed the feather duster and pumped it at Kou Xi's face.
Kou Xi was caught off guard and was pumped twice, and then he reacted. Covering his face and running out, he howled and cried as he ran. It's okay if you don't have tears, as long as it's loud enough.
Hearing Kou Xi's crying, Li Cuilian had a feeling that she had finally found her way back. Standing in the yard, the swearing words and swearing became more ugly, and the voice was louder.
Kou Xi squatted on the ground and held his head, howling and saying in a voice that only Li Cuilian could hear: "I'm not wrong, this is the house built by my mother-in-law." You say I'm an outsider, and your daughter is also an outsider. She has been eating and drinking for nothing for so many years, have you given the money?"
The three words of the oil bottle completely angered Li Cuilian, and she saw Kou Xi squatting on the ground and wailing with his head covered. She forgot Kou Xi's thunderous anger just now, thinking that she was still the little girl with a nest.
The feather duster in his hand pumped harder, and he crossed his waist and cursed while pumping. Calling out the neighbors to see the excitement, everyone was shocked to see her Yaksha.
Kou Xi saw that the play was almost done, so he pulled his legs and ran outside. What Wang Yazhi said just now was really prophetic, if she was wronged at her in-law's house, she could only go to her house for help.
Although her body was pumped in pain, she would definitely achieve what she wanted to achieve.
Wang Yazhi was cutting radish strips in the yard when she heard a frightening cry and was startled.
Her mother-in-law looked at Wang Yazhi in horror and said, "Whose family is dead?"
As he was talking, Kou Xi pushed the door in, bursting into tears: "Sister, my mother-in-law beat me!"
Wang Yazhi exploded immediately, and stood up with full aura. The small stool under her ass was kicked out of her legs and stomach.
Seeing the two marks on Kou Xi's face, Wang Yazhi rushed over and screamed, "Why did she beat you?"
