Chapter 146
Chapter 146
Zhang Yueniang, who was still a little weak at the back, saw that her mother-in-law reprimanded, so she quickly lowered her head and answered. [No pop-ups. As soon as he was about to go to the stove room to work, he saw his younger brother's complicated gaze, and he only felt embarrassed.
But what can she do, years of depression have long made her accustomed to being called around. So Rao was uncomfortable, she just forced a smile, and said in a good voice: "I know my mother, I am cooking." ”
Zhang Manchu can't say what he feels in his heart now, if he wants to say that he is distressed, but he doesn't seem to be it. If he said that he was still a little guilty before, then now that he sees Zhang Yueniang's self-defeating scene, he really feels that his guilt is too worthless. In his mother's family, his brother's family, he can be bullied by his mother-in-law, can such a person really be saved?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his face, glanced at Han Li who had just spoken, and said coldly: "There's no need to eat, you can go back before it gets dark in a while." ”
After that, he just raised his feet and walked to the main house. But before he could get to the door of the house, he heard another burst of scolding and scolding behind him, and then this time there were a few sounds with the sound of water, and only the sharp scolding of Han Li, who was still smiling just now.
He turned around in disgust, but saw that Han Li was angrily beating and scolding a girl who was not much taller than a bucket, and the girl didn't say a word with a wooden face, just trembling with fright.
Zhang Manchu already had excellent eyesight, but when he took a look, he saw that the girl was somewhat similar to the eldest sister. Looking at the yellow-skinned and thin child, with a thin body and a handful of bones left, he felt a wave of anger in his heart.
But before he could speak, he saw his eldest sister, the eldest girl's mother-in-law, looking over from the stove room. When he saw that the wooden bucket that the eldest girl was laboriously carrying in her hand fell to the ground with water and wet a piece of green bricks, and also stained Han Li's shoes, she immediately snorted coldly and shouted: "Dead girl, don't hurry up and pick up your grandmother, you can't do anything when you're so big, it's true." ”
After that, Zhang Yueniang didn't even want to take a second look, and went back to the stove room to get busy. Not to mention protecting his daughter, he didn't even show half of his distressed look.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Manchu looked stunned, and then saw that the child was obviously beaten and couldn't stand staggeringly, but he still didn't say a word, but he was stunned and didn't have a trace of vitality when he opened his eyes.
Even if her daughter-in-law fled all the way and lived a life of wandering for many days, she didn't seem to be lifeless like the eldest girl.
Looking at the eldest girl who was reprimanded and scolded by her mother, she habitually knelt down like a puppet, and stretched out her little hand to polish Han Li's shoes. However, before her hand touched Han Li's shoes, she was ruthlessly kicked aside.
"It's dirty, it's really a loss of money, let me tell you, your mother is pregnant with a little brother, and when she is born, you will quickly find me an errand to earn money, so that I can save all the food and lose the family."
When Zhang Manchu saw his eldest sister's behavior, and then looked at Han Li's and the sluggish eldest girl, the anger in his heart came out directly, and he was really angry. It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, he thought that even if his father was not close and his grandmother was not to be seen, at least he would feel sorry for the child, but he didn't want his eldest sister to become so ruthless.
Xu felt too shocked, or looked at the thin girl too pitiful, Zhang Manchu's face became more and more gloomy. After thinking about it, he walked directly to the side of the eldest girl, squatted down and softened his voice as much as possible: "Eldest girl, can your uncle take you to eat?" ”
At this moment, he was really glad that his daughter-in-law didn't come back. The daughter-in-law's heart is the softest, and she has never seen her child suffer, if she is allowed to see this scene, she will definitely be directly angry. After Xu Zai, he would think about it from time to time, and he was so distressed that he secretly shed tears.
There was no fluctuation in the eyes of the eldest girl who was questioned, and she didn't even have a scared and timid expression, she just looked up at Zhang Manchu, and then moved her mouth for a long time and just let out a dry sound.
Seeing this, Han Li quickly smiled, licked his face and said, "Manho, you don't care about this dead girl, crying all day long is like death." After speaking, he glared at the eldest girl viciously and scolded, "I'm blind, why don't you hurry up and go to fetch water." ”
Hearing her grandmother's words, the eldest girl didn't dare to look up, so she quickly picked up the bucket and trotted out to fetch water. Of course, Xu was limping at this moment because he had just broken his leg.
Zhang Manhu made a tiger face, glared at Han Li unbearably, and said coldly: "The eldest girl is my niece, if you don't want to take care of it, let the Zhang family take care of it." ”
After saying that, he got up and followed the courtyard.
Han Li, who was lost in the face, saw that Zhang Manchu had gone away, so he drooped his face and took a sip, and then scolded Zhang Yueniang a few more words, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai for finding stubble. But when she was done, she was proud again. I've heard people say before that if the first child gives birth to a daughter, she must be tortured to death, so that the next daughter will not dare to come, and in the end she can only give birth to a son.
I used to hear the old women in the village say that they didn't care about it at the time, but after giving birth to a big girl, they suddenly remembered it, and simply took a few hands with the attitude of being able to believe it or not. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, just to say that her mood will be much better after she gets angry every time.
Now that I think about it, it really kills two birds with one stone, one can make Zhang Yueniang have a baby son in her belly. Second, it can also make her feel better. In this way, the big girl is not useless.
But then again, looking at Zhang Manchu's appearance, he obviously married a daughter-in-law, and he actually whispered to a niece who lost money, could it be that they couldn't give birth by themselves, and they had the idea of passing by?
As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly couldn't wait, so she quickly threw away the melon seeds in her hand and twisted her body to go to the stove room to discuss with her daughter-in-law.
When Zhang Yueniang heard her mother-in-law's speculation, she was also a little uncertain. You know, my younger brother is said to have been married for more than half a year, and the younger couple can be regarded as affection, but Lin Baozhu's stomach has not moved at all, isn't it really impossible to give birth?
If that's the case, then the matter will be a big deal, a woman who can't give birth to marry into the Zhang family, what kind of mind does she have. This is to make the Zhang family a desperate household, and cut off the incense.
Now the Zhang family has a big business, not to mention the outside business, let's just say that the two workshops in the village employ a lot of people. Even if it's the Xia landlord's family, that's just it. If it is really as her mother-in-law guessed, Lin Baozhu can't give birth, what should the Zhang family's property do?
No matter what you say, you can't let outsiders go.
Han Li pondered while pouting Zhang Yueniang to discuss with Zhang Manchu, if he really wanted to pass on, he simply gave the money to the Zhang family. After getting the Zhang family's industry, she finally had a way to pull her son and grandson into her hands.
Of course, she didn't say the last sentence, and said it was for the good of the Zhang family. It's good that the big girl also bleeds the blood of the Zhang family, she is not an outsider, and this is not cheap.
Originally, Zhang Yueniang was a little brainless, especially when she saw that her younger brother cherished and valued her daughter-in-law so much, and Lin Baozhu, a daughter-in-law who fled outside, could dress so well, she had long been jealous. At this time, there is a chance to make her family live a good life, and she can also suppress Lin Baozhu, what is she not happy about!
Immediately, Zhang Yueniang answered and asked her younger brother later, if the real brother-in-law was a child who could not be raised, she naturally couldn't let it go. Even if it's for the sake of the mother who has long been gone, you can't let your brother break off.
She thought it was good, but she just used a high-sounding reason as an excuse to cover up her selfishness and greed.
But they didn't wait for long to be secretly complacent in their hearts, and before Zhang Yueniang could finish dinner, Han Liuxu, who had gone to the village private school with a clear face, came back with a pale face and a look of distraction.
If you say that when he went before, he was smug and put on a good show. Now, he has completely destroyed his beliefs, and his whole person is full of decadence, and his face is even extremely ugly.
Also, a talent who can't be regarded as a real talent, actually provoking the old gentleman who even King Rui values a little bit with his smug eyes, isn't that looking for death? Not to mention crushing on the Four Books and Five Classics, just meeting Liu Jincai, who went to the old gentleman to ask for teaching, was enough for him to drink a pot.
If others may feel empowered and enlightened, Han Liuxu is pretentious but has no achievements, and he can't jump when he is ridiculed coldly. Partiality others didn't dare to say anything because he was Zhang Manho's brother-in-law, but Old Man Zhao didn't buy it, and directly scolded the individual for being incomplete.
They are all people from the farmhouse, and sometimes they are very angry and naturally speak a lot rougher, and they are only afraid of Han Li's words. So he was shamed and shameless, and it was strange that he could stay.
On the way back, he had already thought about it a thousand times, and he was determined to let his brother-in-law drive the uninteresting old man away, so that he knew that he was not easy to bully. And what Liu Jincai, simply drove out of the village or found an excuse to cut off his opportunity to go to a private school, so that he dared to look down on himself again.
I have to say that it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, Han Liuxu and his mother, and even Zhang Yueniang, are all extremely selfish and incompetent people.
In the end, Zhang Manchu and the eldest girl did not come back, but at the food workshop, Zhang Xiuniang was full of distress and helped the eldest girl change into the clothes before Zhaodi. It's also a shame that Zhao Di still had two clothes from her childhood before she was a child, but Rao is like this, and she is empty when she wears it on the eldest girl, as if she is draped in a piece of cloth.
"Alas, this child is really pitiful, her thin whole body is just bones, and I am afraid that I will break the child's bones when I dress her." Zhang Xiuniang helped the eldest girl get dressed, and then called Zhao Di to accompany her to eat something. came out by himself and went to the hall to talk to Zhang Manchu.
What she said didn't add any moisture at all, looking at the big girl's figure, it was really terrifying. That's it, how could the Han family still treat this child harshly? It's really mad and infuriating.
