Chapter 80: Reaping the Consequences

Zhou Yiran looked at her and said, "Auntie hasn't come back for a long time, she should want to buy a two-pound meat filial piety grandma, right?" I heard that the aunt and the uncle are doing business in the city, so they must have made a lot of money, and our family has cheap meat, and I believe that the aunt can afford two catties of meat. ”

When she said this, Chen Xuemei couldn't say anything. If you can't afford two catties of meat, won't it become a joke in Zhangjiawan.

"Okay, then buy two catties of meat."

Seeing this woman gritting her teeth, she was extremely happy in her heart, turned her head and made a trumpet shape with her hands, and shouted.

"Big cow, someone has come to buy meat."

Zhang Daniu, who was chopping bamboo in the back, listened to the sound and put down the scimitar and went back.

Chen Xuemei saw her shouting loudly like this, with a look of contempt, thinking that she was vulgar, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a person from a big family, and began to believe Liu Hua's words a little, maybe she was really pretending.

She looked back and saw Chen Xuemei's contemptuous eyes, but she didn't care, because she was too lazy to deal with this kind of person.

Zhang Daniu came back and saw that it was Grandma's daughter-in-law, and in terms of seniority, he had to call her an aunt, but he couldn't call her at this time.

When I walked in, I asked, "How much meat do you want?" ”

"One"

"Two pounds." Zhou Yiran took the lead.

Chen Xuemei endured it, smiled and nodded: "Well, two catties." ”

Zhang Daniu looked at the two of them and knew that this was his daughter-in-law's ghost, so he went back to the kitchen to wash his hands and came out, picked up a knife and cut meat.

"Here, your meat, forty dollars in all."

Chen Xuemei saw that he said that even if he didn't weigh it, even if it was money, she frowned and said, "Why don't you weigh it, what if it's less?" ”

"There will only be more, not less, if you don't believe it, you can weigh it." Zhang Daniu stared at her after speaking.

Chen Xuemei took the meat, reluctantly took out the money bag, and then saw the five taels of silver in the bag, took it out and gave it to him.

"I'm sorry, I don't have copper coins, I don't know if you can find this."

After Chen Xuemei said this, Zhou Yiran laughed and said, "Auntie, wait a minute, I'll find you money." ”

She took the five taels of silver in Chen Xuemei's hand into the house. She was trying to exchange the silver in the box for a whole one, and Chen Xuemei was exactly what she wanted.

Chen Xuemei looked at her and frowned. Could it be that she can find it? Like Zhang Daniu, he used up all the money when he had it, and it didn't take long for him to get married, and Liu Hua also said just now that this woman had a miscarriage, even if there was a little money at home, it should be used up.

After a while, Zhou Yiran came out, holding a bunch of copper coins in her hand, not to mention, it was quite weighty.

She walked in front of Chen Xuemei, put 4,960 copper coins into her arms, and said at the same time: "Auntie, count and see if it's right." ”

Chen Xuemei looked at the copper coin in her arms, and her face became a little ugly. How long will it take to count so much? Raised his head and looked at the two of them.

"I believe that you will not be less, so I will not count."

"That's not good, Auntie, you have to count, if you go back and drop something, doesn't it mean that we give less, so Auntie, you still count! So you can rest assured, and I can rest assured. Zhou Yiran grabbed her and said.

Who knows if this woman will deliberately say that she has less money after she goes back, and when the time comes, she will come back to find fault, and she can't say anything clearly, so it's better to count it clearly in person.

Chen Xuemei felt that she must have done it on purpose, she was not angry, and if she was angry, she would appear stingy.

"Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about." Chen Xuemei kept smiling and planned to leave after speaking.

However, Zhou Yiran just didn't let her go, blocking her way, and said bitterly: "Auntie, just count!" Just now you were worried that my big beef cut meat is less than two catties, let's still count, the eldest mother should be kind, she didn't make a few dollars, if you look back and say less, wouldn't we be a hundred mouths to argue. ”

After saying this, Chen Xuemei's face changed, and she said, "Daughter-in-law of the big cow, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person?" ”

Zhou Yiran saw that she was angry, and immediately showed a pitiful appearance, hid behind Da Niu, and then whispered: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to feel at ease, after all, my family is poor and can't stand the toss." ”

"You..."Chen Xuemei looked at her like this, and then looked at Zhang Da Niu protecting her, she felt as if she had bullied Da Niu's daughter-in-law, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and finally she could only compromise and said, "Okay, I'll count." ”

Putting the meat on the table, she began to count the money, and in order to reassure the daughter-in-law, she counted the voices.

"One... Two... Three..."

Zhang Daniu watched Chen Xuemei count the money and looked down at the lady beside her.

Zhou Yiran saw him looking at herself, smiled at him, and blinked her beautiful big eyes.

Zhang Daniu glanced at her and scratched her nose with his hand.

Zhou Yiran knew that he was seeing through it, so she smiled and didn't speak, and turned her head to look at the lady who was counting the money, thinking it was funny.

"Three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine... Three thousand..."

"Wait, shouldn't three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine be four thousand?" Zhou Yiran immediately corrected it.

Chen Xuemei was also dizzy, nodded and said: "It's four thousand, forget it, I won't count, whether it's more money or less money, I swear I really won't come to you." ”

After listening to Chen Xuemei's words, she raised her eyebrows: "This is what you said, auntie, if you have less money at that time, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance to count." ”

Chen Xuemei looked at her with a wicked smile on her face, and her heart began to be bottomless again, I wonder if there is really little money here.

After thinking for a long time, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered her head and continued to count the money.

Looking at Chen Xuemei like this, she laughed. He said he didn't care, but what was he doing? Such a person is still doing business, hehe, most of them don't do business.

******

Zhang Zhihui came back from the vegetable field, didn't see his mother-in-law, and went into the house to ask his wife.

"Mother, where did Xuemei go?"

"Where is your daughter-in-law, how can your mother know, other people's daughters-in-law are waiting for her mother-in-law, how did she get here, her daughter-in-law ran away, it is estimated that she is waiting for me to wait for her with this old bone, wife, why don't you take it away when you leave, why is my life so bitter, as the saying goes, a son and a daughter become good, but these children are not filial, what is this!"

Zhang Zhihui listened to his mother's words, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

Walk over to your own mother.

"Mother, I know that I have done something wrong over the years, but I also have to be considerate of my son, and it is not easy for my son. In order to let the children study hard and take the top exam in the future, Xuemei and I got up early and stayed late, and we didn't have a day of leisure, but the business was not good, so we were able to make a living. Mother, you also know that things used for reading are expensive. It's not that the son is not filial, but the son has a weak heart, and he really doesn't have the face to come back, if he is not forced to be helpless this time, he will not come back to find his mother to ask for the jade pendant. Zhang Zhihui cried as he spoke.

Seeing her dozens of years old son crying, her heart was also uncomfortable, but she felt that these were not reasons.

His eyes were cloudy, he looked at the child in front of him, and said: "Son, my mother is not rare if you give money or not, my mother just wants you to go home often to see my old immortal thing, the city is not very far from here, you can arrive in a day's time, not to mention the festival to let you come back to see me, but this New Year, is it really too busy to come back?" Son, you touch your conscience and tell your mother, are you really too busy to come back? ”

Zhang Zhihui stopped talking and lowered his head.

Grandma looked at him like this, and knew the answer, smiled sadly, and said, "Let's go!" This is given to you, and I will not have you as a son in the future. ”

Zhang Zhihui raised his head and looked at the jade pendant in his mother's hand, but he didn't take it for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Grandma said with a dark face: "What? Isn't that what you're looking for? Take your things and go, don't eat this lunch. ”

Zhang Zhihui, who was about to pick it up, didn't dare to take it after hearing this. He was afraid that after taking it, his mother really didn't recognize him as a son.

"Mother, I don't want it, you put it away." Zhang Zhihui pushed things back.

Grandma has already decided, give him something, and let him go now, so as not to be upset by it.

"Take it and go immediately."

Zhang Zhihui shook his head, took two steps back, and then said, "I don't want to." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room, and then went out to find his mother-in-law.

As soon as I went out of the gate, I saw my mother-in-law coming back, thinking about what my mother said just now, I was furious, and yelled at Chen Xuemei: "Where did you go, can't you stay at home honestly and clean up this house?" ”

Chen Xuemei was stunned by him, because she counted the money just now, her brain was not very good, so she was still stunned after being yelled at by Zhang Zhihui.

Zhang Zhihui saw that she was still pestle, and became impatient, and then saw the meat in her hand, which became even more hot.

"If you don't eat meat for a day, you will die, you don't know what our situation is now, you still want to eat meat, eat you fat woman."

This time, Chen Xuemei was also on fire, and quarreled with Zhang Zhihui at this door.

"Zhang Zhihui, have you eaten feces in your mouth? Okay, what are you yelling at me? Did I provoke you? Also, what's wrong with me buying meat, I'm not looking at why we don't have meat at home, is it possible that you come back once and let your mother be a vegetarian? I've done bad things with good intentions, and if you think I'm not doing something right, I'll give back the meat, and I'll wait. ”

After saying that, he turned around and planned to return the meat.

After Zhang Zhihui listened to Chen Xuemei's words, he immediately pulled her back.

"Okay, the meat is bought, and it's being returned, so what do people think of us."

"No, this meat must be returned, lest someone say that I am hungry and delicious, and when the time comes, I will give me the whole delicious and lazy to make it, I will not carry this pot." As he spoke, he broke his hand.

Zhang Zhihui knew that she was blocking her breath with herself, and immediately apologized: "Xuemei, I was wrong, let's go home." ”

Fortunately, there was no one at this time, otherwise it would be a dead person.

Chen Xuemei saw him apologize, so she was a little angry and threw the meat in her hand into his arms.

"You cook at noon."

With that, he pushed him open and entered the door.

Zhang Zhihui knew that she was angry, so he took the meat in and walked to the kitchen.

After Chen Xuemei entered, she entered the house, looked at the mother-in-law in the house, and walked over to sit in front of her.
