Chapter 13: Uninvited Guests
At dinner that day, an uninvited guest came.
Wu, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, took her pregnant eldest daughter-in-law Shen, the third aunt Zheng and the fourth aunt Jin, and came uninvited when everyone was having dinner.
The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family have no way to respect these elders of their own family, when they first returned to the old house, they came very diligently, every time they came to the eyes, they were not enough to have a hand, at that time the Zhou brothers and sisters did not realize that they would live in this place for a long time, seeing that they were elders, it didn't matter if they were filial, sometimes they saw something to the ground, and they also turned a blind eye.
Who knows that when the money is gone, but the parents are far away, the so-called relatives are not as good as the neighbors, the second mother sometimes gritted her teeth to borrow some food, except for the uncle and aunt for the sake of the grandparents, borrow a catty to half a catty, and the others are all watching the fire from the other side, but also sneering, and finally simply pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, how can the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family be so angry, so they simply treat themselves as if they don't have these relatives.
Therefore, when Wu and the others were let into the lobby room by Zhou's mother with a look of watching a joke, the family only Siniang put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, and the others pretended not to see it.
Wu and the others changed their faces again and again, the old man said that at the end of the year, why should they send some food to the children, they deliberately chose dinner, just to see the embarrassment of the young masters and ladies of this group of high-ranking second families.
Who knew that there were three tables in this big house, and each table was filled with fish, meat, tofu and green vegetables! It's actually fish and green vegetables!
Shen was pregnant, and he couldn't smell such a fragrant smell of rice, and he stared at the dinner table with almost good eyes.
It's three tables! What are the rules? On the table of this person, the food is the same as that of the master, it's too much!
Wu pouted and said, "What a sin!" The old man in the family doesn't know where to sin badly, and you have already begun to lose! ”
Erniang put the bowl heavily on the table, trembling with anger, "Auntie, who are you talking about?" ”
Jin hurriedly said, "Look at the colorful ice lamps on the wall of your courtyard, how many candles do you have to use?" We are a villager, who have you seen use so many candles at night? Look at your table full of fish and meat, how much silver does it cost? Even if there is fish and meat, you still have grandparents, you should also honor them first, right? Look at you again, you are only a few children, just a small piece of land, and you actually use so many subordinates, your uncle's family, which family is not working hard, you should also let them serve the suffering elders with this group of idlers, right? ”
Xue Jian was looking at these people curiously while eating, and when she heard this, her hands shook with joy, and the dishes fell on the table, Zhou Bo glared at her from afar, and Xue Jian couldn't help laughing, for fear that she would suffer internal injuries because of this. I've seen angry people and laughing people, but I've never seen it said so bluntly.
Wu Niang and Liu Lang jumped out one after another, and Wu Niang asked first: "Elders?" Where are the elders? ”
Liulang pointed at the Jin family: "These old ......" was glared back by Zhou Bo, "These old people are our legendary elders, fifth sister, have you forgotten?" ”
Wu Niang sneered: "Elder? When we came back, we met the elders a few times, and when we left, the elders who came to visit the younger ones did not return empty-handed! ”
Rokuro continued, "Later, when we didn't have anything to eat, the second sister borrowed food a few times in the past, but I heard that it was rare to see even the elders. ”
Seeing that there was no one for them to sit, Wu Niang and Liulang squeezed them with words, and no one stopped them, their faces turned blue at the moment, and they said without words, "If it weren't for us to help, would you guys be able to eat and drink well?" ”
At this moment, Zixue couldn't hold back any longer, she burst out laughing, and she quickly covered her mouth.
Siniang stood up and said coldly: "It's really a blessing to the elders, our family hasn't starved to death, and we can still eat and drink well, may I ask the elders, the fish on our table is what you received?" Do you receive meat? You received the food? Or did you take care of the cotton clothes on our bodies? By the way, I see that the hairpins on the heads of the eldest mother and the two aunts are familiar and tight, didn't they take them away from us? ”
Xue saw that her eyes lit up, and her heart said that there should be applause here, but she didn't expect that the four ladies were usually wilting, and her words were to the point.
Zheng's mind is the most active, and she secretly wonders in her heart, isn't it that Erbertuo has come back? Otherwise, how could this loser, who has no land, no money and no income, be so festive and drunk? Seeing that these children don't have a city government, and now they are eating with their subordinates, isn't this money being managed by some powerful subordinates? She rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and said, "The tutor of this second uncle's family is really good, I haven't heard of the master eating with his subordinates." ”
Zhou's mother and the others' faces sank, everyone has been together for a long time, although they have been defeated, but they are still full of rules, and then they are poor, everyone is hungry and supports each other to live, or everyone can eat after Xue Jian comes.
Zhou Bo Erniang and the others were grateful that they not only did not take the opportunity to leave the Zhou family, but took care of them more carefully, so Xue Jian suggested that everyone simply eat together.
Now seeing that Zhou Bo and others have been criticized for this matter, they are all ashamed and ashamed. Zhou's mother and Du's mother were even more tearful, and they were about to kneel down from the table, when Xue Jian stood up and supported the two of them, and said loudly: "What is a subordinate?" What is the Venerable Master? These subordinates in your eyes, they are reluctant to eat and give to the masters, reluctant to drink to the masters, reluctant to use the masters, and pull down their faces to borrow things and work everywhere to try their best to feed the masters, compared to those who are bent on taking advantage of the younger generations who borrow land and do not pay it back, and call themselves elders in vain, how much stronger than a hundred times a thousand times? ”
The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family and the Du family and the Zhou family who said it all had different faces, but they were all teary-eyed. Several arrogant elders were extremely embarrassed for a while, and they couldn't refute it.
Jin pointed at Xue Jian unwillingly: "I haven't seen you before, what are you?" ”
Xue Jian turned his head and scolded directly, "You are the thing, your whole family is the thing!" ”
She hated, hated her level of scolding, and turned over and over so many words, why didn't she learn a little bit from the two bad friends in her previous life? Those two are really masters who scold people without dirty words, eat people without spitting out bones, and fight against people for a day and a night without heavy words, one can say the living to death, and the other can say the dead alive.
Under the candlelight, the snow was frosty when she saw it, but it was still not as beautiful as an ordinary product, and Shen suddenly took two steps back and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you the one who flew from the sky on Chinese New Year's Eve, vixen?" She covered her mouth violently and hid behind Wu in a trembling voice.
A few women instantly remembered the rumors in the village, and looked at the table full of food that seemed to be conjured by magic, the fish can also be bought in the town or county, and the green garlic seedlings, at this time, can only become out? Think about it again, when Ming Laba, the family also borrowed food everywhere, since the fox spirit flew in the new year, not only did they not borrow food, I heard that even a few neighbors who usually get close to them have been stained with big fish, big meat and green vegetables.
The woman in front of her, with crystal clear skin, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, is young but charming and coquettish, not a fox spirit, what is it?
Xue saw that he was furious, and he opened his mouth to continue scolding, you are a fox spirit, your family is full of fox spirits, and he hasn't scolded yet, but Zhou Bo suddenly got up and slapped the table, the four of them were trembling, and when they heard this sound, they almost lost their souls, and the Jin family sat directly on the ground.
"Enough! Auntie, three aunts and four aunts, do you see where you have half of the elders? You come here and talk nonsense, I only think you are sprinkling hysteria, today I tell you clearly, although this Yukimi is just my girl, but her words are my words, I hope you remember! And these people you are talking about," Zhou Bo pointed at Zhou Mancang and them, and said in a deep voice, "These people, these are the elders of my Zhou family, and they are my relatives of Zhou Bo!" ”
