Pearl doesn't accept their tricks at all, she can do whatever she wants, and if she wants to be fair, why? Is it because of blood, you must love your son, because you love your son, you have to make concessions, but in Pearl's view, treat your parents or children, they are all the same idea, there is no free lunch in this world, even if your own children are born once they are separated, it will be more difficult to recover than any relationship, how much you loved you in the past, how resentful you will be now, how sad, although Pearl is a halfway mother, but at this time I also feel sad.

The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and Pearl can imagine that these two families will make themselves ugly on that day, making Zhou Ze uncomfortable, maybe Zhou Ze will endure things because of the presence of outsiders, you know, such behavior is fatal to his body.

Since Pearl anticipated their intentions because of their actions, he hated them even more for being ruthless and unjust, and with sinister intentions. The next day, the eldest family and the third family were called to the village chief's house, and several respected old people in the village had gloomy faces, and to their surprise, Zheng's parents and Zhang's parents were here. At this time, Pearl was also there, and both couples felt a little dangerous.

Before they could speak, the village chief spoke, "Zhou Rong, Zhou Deng, you two are also adults, not three or five-year-old ignorant children, don't tell us any excuses, that little trick has long been understood in the eyes of our old people, and we are not happy to take care of your family's affairs, but Brother Zhou is a righteous and loyal good man, and he has never done anything bad in his life." Now that you're leaving, don't say that you are children, even us old brothers, we have to think of ways to make him happy and send him away happily, otherwise, you think these old people in our village are so heavy! Always go to your house for an hour or two? ”

The daughter-in-law of the village chief got a lot of benefits from pearls, and this time she gave a very beautiful red gold and pearled hosta, which was very valuable, and the pearl promised that if it was smooth when the family was separated. Just give a complete set of pure gold jewelry. as a dowry for her precious daughter. This can be said to be a complete set of dowry, at least it will cost eleven pieces, and more than 30 pieces, and she only got a small set. That was enough for her to get excited. There are today's hairpins inlaid with gold and jade. It is not difficult to imagine how valuable the dowry will be in the coming days. Now it's time for her to speak,

"Zheng. How many years have you been in the door, working secretly and treacherously, letting the second daughter-in-law do everything, your mother-in-law doesn't say it, you are blind when you are the people in the village? framed your sister-in-law and gave people a message of hope, your heart would have been dark for a long time. Your mother-in-law didn't hand you over to prison, it's already a great kindness, what else do you want to do? Just because of these things you have done, even if you give birth to ten sons, this in-law's family will not tolerate it, even the laws of the country will not tolerate it. Lao Zheng's family, about your daughter, we also talked about it earlier, you said, did her mother-in-law feel sorry for your daughter? ”

Zheng's father is Xiucai, and his face was flushed with anger for a long time, and when he heard this, he said, "This is the benevolence of the in-laws, this daughter, let the in-laws dispose of it, but my Zheng family, but I can't have this daughter anymore." It's just that she is divorced, bought, and died, it has nothing to do with us, it is because we have not educated her well, and we are already very sorry for our in-laws, what face do we have to speak? ”

Zheng's mother still wanted to say something, but thinking that her daughter's mother-in-law dealt with the problem like this, she still gave her way out, and if she talked more, it was likely to be bad, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.

In the other family, the village chief's daughter-in-law spoke again and said to Zhang's parents, "There are some things, let's not break it, let's talk about the wedding night, and the matter of giving you silver and cloth jewelry." ”

Zhang's mother didn't know about it, although she left her daughter's dowry, but at that time they really didn't have this intention to keep, it was her daughter who said that these silver were stored here by her parents, and it was also regarded as six back roads, and it was a fair and honest private money, and she needed it in the future, and her mother's family sent it back, and her in-laws and husband must be very grateful at that time. Unexpectedly, her in-laws seem to care about it! Turning his head and asking Pearl,

"In-laws, what's wrong with the wedding night? This ......"

Pearl sighed, bowed her head and said nothing, the village chief's daughter-in-law didn't know anything when she saw Zhang's mother, so she pulled Zhang's mother into the gift, and said that Zhang's mother was not red, and Pearl said everything about protecting her in front of her son, Zhang's mother was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was even more energetic, and said, "It stands to reason that if you don't fall red, you can withdraw from the marriage directly, right?" Your in-laws didn't dislike it, didn't pursue it, and made a guarantee for your daughter in front of your son, this is a virtuous and generous mother-in-law! Now because she bought some fabric for the four girls to make clothes, she joined the Zheng family to make trouble, stealing food and smuggling silver to the house, the family didn't know, her mother-in-law usually gave a lot of money, really wanted, can you stop it? Your daughter is like this, oops, it's so unspeakable, ungrateful! ”

Zhang's mother's footsteps were a little floating, went back and sat down, and lay on her husband's ear to tell the matter, Zhang's father originally had a heart, counting on the New Year's Month when he broke up, he could help his daughter fight more, but now after hearing this, his face is red, he is also a person who wants to face, and there is a girl who is not married! If it spreads, no one will say anything about the youngest daughter, and their family will not have the face to stay in the village. How to look up in front of friends and family. In the eyes of Zhang's parents, they don't believe that Zhang's is white at all, and they all have the same idea in their hearts, that is, their daughter has indeed done ugly things, the Qin family is generous, in order to make the family peaceful, they take on this matter, they know very well that now Zhou Ze's health is much better, because the family has a lot of prey, plus the sale of Liu's embroidery when he was young, he got a lot of silver, and it is not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law again, but now her daughter is like this, she is really ungrateful, too stupid, taking her father-in-law's work to blackmail her mother-in-law, is still a generous and virtuous mother-in-law, unreasonable, shameful! Zhang's father immediately said, "Although Yue'e is pregnant, but to do such a disobedient and unfilial thing, it is reasonable and unreasonable, it is intolerable, we are parents, we are really ashamed, we have the same attitude as the Zheng family's eldest brother and sister-in-law, this daughter will be disposed of with her in-laws, and we will not come in the future, the original dowry was originally given by her village in our place, I will let people send it, we should not have this daughter, unless she reforms her ways, can atone for her sins, and satisfy her in-laws, otherwise, there is no in-law to speak, I will never let Zhang Yue'e enter my door. After speaking, he said to the pearl, "Sister-in-law, the Zhang family is sorry for your family, and even more sorry for the sister-in-law, our Zhang family has written down the kindness of the sister-in-law, what is the sister-in-law nodded, you personally spoke, I will recognize this daughter again, otherwise, don't come and go, every New Year's holiday, birthday ceremony and other things, and don't need her to go back." "And when he had finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the pearl,

Pearl smiled and said, "You're polite, I don't want to make trouble, but now my old man can't stand the stimulation, let alone get angry, if he makes trouble, he will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

Zhou Deng is still different from those three people, he didn't expect these three people to plan like this at all, looked back at Zhang, saw Zhang's face was pale, and said, "You just toss!" When you give birth to a child, how to settle the ledger together, this is the last time, if I find out, you follow the passer-by again, you hurry up, I don't want the dowry, you take the dowry, the child wants to give it to you, don't want me to stay, then I would rather give you the silver and let you go, otherwise my father will make you angry to death, and it will be useless for me to cry to death. Hum! Zhou Deng finished speaking and left.

When Zhou Rong saw Zhou Deng leaving, he said to the village chief and a few old people in the village, "It's because this woman is too careful, I'll go back and educate her well." ”

However, no one believed his words, let alone paid attention to them, Zhou Rong has long lost his humanity, and the old people have all experienced ups and downs, and they don't think he is filial at all. Pearl thanked the village chief, and then followed the two in-laws, warmly invited them to the house for dinner, and then sent them back to their carriage after eating. The two families were originally embarrassed, but since their in-laws kept people, they didn't want to save face, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to compensate their in-laws, and they also had the intention of talking to their daughters. Zhou Deng's face was angry, Zhou Rong was a little trembling, because the old man also knew about it, although he was also a showman, his father-in-law didn't want to take the test, he bought it from someone, and the old man was a very prestigious person in the eyes of the nearby students and literati, if the old man didn't give a good face, or said something special, the consequences would be extremely serious!

The dinner was very rich, and although Zhou Ze didn't know what was going on, he was still very happy that his in-laws came. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after breakfast, the family continued to come to the house, a large group of children ran around inside and outside the house, and the two grandsons carried a big purse, which was filled with candy, preserved fruits, melon seeds, and peanuts. By the end of the evening, before it got dark, there were already a lot of people in the house. As soon as it was dark, all the lanterns were lit with candles, extending from Zhou's house to the outside, not only all the people in the village came, but also many people from nearby villages. First I watched the lanterns, and then I was a fan of money. But it's hilarious! There were several tables outside, with snacks such as snacks and candies, and it didn't take long for hot rice balls and fried Lantern Festival to be served. The people in the village went back to get the dishes and chopsticks, and some directly brought chopsticks to skewer the Lantern Festival to eat. There are also roast chicken, sauced beef, and fruit wine on the table, the old people do it together, chat and drink, the men are also at the same table, and some people are responsible for checking the answers to the riddles and distributing prizes. When it was almost over, Pearl asked the second and third children to take out the fireworks, and told all the children to stand back, and when the fireworks were lit, the brilliant fireworks made everyone scream, there were spark trees on the ground, there were flowers that exploded in the air, there were red, blue, green, and colorful, and they were set off for a long time. Zhou Ze was so happy today, and he drank two glasses of fruit wine! (To be continued.) )
