Chapter 68: Taking the Opportunity to Make Trouble
Li Xin raised his head slightly, angry and smiling in his heart.
What's the matter with her? Didn't she instigate Ah Xiu to quarrel with her father-in-law, her father-in-law's own daughter was dissatisfied with him, and she was to blame for being a sister-in-law and daughter-in-law? Does that make sense?
She hasn't said a word so far!
The elders taught that as a junior, Li Xin naturally would not yell back. After all, her men are still around, so it's better to let Guan Wen come out.
Guan Ming felt that something was inappropriate when he yelled, and he still held his neck for the sake of face, and his face was angry. Ah Xiu sneered without waiting for Guan Wen to speak: "What's the matter with my sister-in-law again?" What does this have to do with sister-in-law? You don't feel panicked when you are a father-in-law! ”
Guan Ming was choked by Ah Xiu, and immediately scolded: "Lao Tzu raised you so big, didn't let you come to confront Lao Tzu!" When the family is in difficulty, you don't eat and drink in one sip, and now you haven't married yet, so dare to raise the bar with Lao Tzu? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu sold you to be a maid! Save yourself from saying something inconsequential every day to embarrass Lao Tzu! I don't have to let people say that my Guan family's daughter is not educated! Ah Xiu was angry for a moment, no, it can be said that she was out of anger, ignoring Li Xin and Ah Mei pulling her, and her voice suddenly rose, "I'm not educated?" Be! I'm not educated, I don't have a mother's education! But have I eaten and drunk yours? Even if I begged for two mouthfuls of food and drink when I was a child, not all of them were earned by the eldest brother and the second brother! You are serving Guan Lao Liu at home as an old lady, and it is the eldest brother and the second brother who support this family! You're not qualified to talk about me! You have the ability to sell me! You don't need to sell! I went and sold myself myself! You don't want to take a penny and a half if you get money! "You, you, you" Guan Ming naturally had never seen Ah Xiu with such sharp teeth, and with a "snap" he slapped the board resting on the stove, and yelled: "Are you going to rebel, aren't you!" "Ah Xiu!"
Guan Wen stepped forward to stop Ah Xiu and didn't allow her to speak, his face was also a little cold, and he said to Guan Ming: "Dad, if you have something to say, don't say cruel words." No matter how poor our Guan family is, it can't reach the point of selling our daughter. Guan Wu also pulled Guan Ming and said: "Dad, you and Ah Xiu are both angry, you can't take it back if you say it, it's better to dissipate your anger, don't talk about these hurtful ......" "Is it a joke to be Lao Tzu?" , Guan Ming glared at Ah Xiu fiercely, "Don't think that Lao Tzu is talking about playing, if you provoke Lao Tzu, I will be happy to send you to be a maid, out of sight and out of mind!" "And you!" Guan Ming pointed the finger at Li Xin again: "How long have you been married, and Ah Xiu was ruined by you!" In the past, she never dared to speak loudly to Lao Tzu, but now she has the courage to yell at Lao Tzu! What kind of ecstasy did you give her to make her so obsessed with you? If you get married, you will share it with me, and you will lose those moths! Now your stomach hasn't moved, you still dare to jump ether! ”
As soon as the words fell, the stove room instantly fell silent, and the silence that could be heard when a pin dropped.
Li Xin sneered in his heart, and his face was not good-looking, but he still didn't say a word.
Seeing this situation, Ah Mei was so frightened that she was about to burst, tremblingly hugged Li Xin's arm, and whispered with a crying voice: "It's none of my sister-in-law's business......" "Are you also facing her?" You're all reversed! Guan Ming yelled at Ah Mei, and Guan Wenli shouted: "Dad! ”
Guan Ming still had two fears of Guan Wen in the end, but he felt that his reasons were valid, so he snorted and turned his head.
Ah Xiu finally relieved himself and said slowly: "I kind of understand, the eldest brother, the second brother, the fourth brother, the third sister, and I and the elder sister are not your own, right?" You're just going to stop that son, right? When your daughter-in-law marries back, she cooks for you, serves tea, pours water, and passes on the lineage, so if you are not happy, you can scold casually? It's a shame that my mother died early, otherwise she wouldn't have been practiced by you all these years?
……”
Guan Wen wrung his brows and looked at Ah Xiu disapprovingly: "Ah Xiu, say less!" Don't talk about what you don't have! Ah Xiu chuckled, still saying slowly: "Big brother, why did you attack me and my sister-in-law today?" Just for the needlework that my sister and I did, I planned to take it to the market today and sell it for myself, but he said that the sixth brother was going to take the children's exam, and he had to invite Mr. to dinner, so we would give the money over. I didn't agree, so he came over and scolded me, and even scolded my sister-in-law. ”
Saying that, Chan Heng snorted and said to Guan Ming: "What does it have to do with sister-in-law?" If it wasn't my sister-in-law who taught me and my sister needlework, would you still be able to calculate my and my sister's body and silver today? ”
Guan Ming was so angry that he trembled, he never knew that his daughter was also a poisonous mouth, so he choked so much that he couldn't speak.
Guan Wu pondered and pondered, and felt that his father was wrong about this matter, so he pulled Guan Ming's sleeve and said: "Dad, Ah Xiu and Ah Mei are finally able to save some money by themselves, and they will have a little confidence to marry in the future, so let them keep it themselves." The eldest brother and I will find a way to deal with the matter of the sixth brother" Guan Ming's face was unhappy at first, and finally he was relieved when he heard it, and before he could open his mouth, he heard his eldest daughter-in-law ask: "Father-in-law, I don't know how much silver the sixth brother will cost to invite Mr. to dinner?" "This" Guan Ming was slightly stunned, he had expressed strong dissatisfaction with his eldest daughter-in-law just now, and now the eldest daughter-in-law asked him softly, which really made him a little unaccustomed. But since it's all asked...... "It probably costs a tael of silver or something, and it must be rectified, and I have to give gifts to Guangsheng and the three squires." Isn't that what it usually is? ”
Li Xin nodded and said lightly: "Since it's eating at home, I'll get it after it's finished, and my father-in-law doesn't have to worry about this." As for giving gifts to my husband and squire, I will also look at the purchase, and my father-in-law will not have to worry about it. Guan Ming didn't react at once, but Ah Xiu sneered, "Did you hear it, Dad, my sister-in-law has taken it over and prepared it herself, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." Hurry up and serve our Tai Sui Buddha well, otherwise you won't be able to go to the Tongsheng test when the time comes, and if you can't pass the test, you will be embarrassed and lose your hair! ”
Li Xin took the matter over and looked like he had solved Guan Ming's urgent need, but in fact, compared to taking the silver and letting Guan Ming buy it, there was less of the process of letting Guan Ming handle it.
Guan Ming suddenly realized that he was blocked by his daughter-in-law.
He wants to say it's okay, he can do it, but people say it very well, this is to share your worries, you don't agree, you insist on taking the money, it's unreasonable.
So Guan Ming's face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't wait for him to speak and listened to his daughter-in-law say: "It's not too early, if you don't leave, you can make up for it." Father-in-law, you are resting at home, Ah Wen and I will go to the market first, and they will not come back at noon. As he spoke, he quickly lifted the wooden barrel a few times, poured the boiled pigweed and fed it to the pigs, then washed his hands, took a big back, and loaded the muntjac, let Guan Wen carry it, and found a smaller one, put the needlework he and Axiu Amei did into it, took care of his back, and said hello lightly: "Father, then let's go first." Then she was the first to go out of the door of the house, and her steps were bigger than usual, and she knew that she was trying to get away from this place.
Ah Xiu took Ah Mei to wash her hands and followed, without saying hello to her father.
Guan Wu looked at the three sisters-in-law who were walking away in front of him, and then at his father and eldest brother who were standing in place, stomped his feet and said, "Dad, you really went too far this time!" Then he hurried to the front.
Guan Ming and Guan Wen are left.
Lao Guan trembled and leaned against the root of the wall, and saw that Guan Wen was still stunned, and asked vaguely: "Don't you rush...... Guan Wen said: "Hurry, grandpa is eating?" ”
"Eat, my granddaughter-in-law cooked it alone, and it was very soft." Lao Guan walked to the place where the food was specially prepared for him, reached out and brought out a bowl of almost shredded meat and gnocchi that were boiled, and then slowly returned to the hall by touching the root of the wall.
Guan Wen looked at the old Guan Tou and disappeared before he spoke lightly, and he didn't look at Guan Ming, and said, "Dad wants to sell Ah Xiu to be a maid?" ”
Guan Ming was slightly embarrassed, "If that girl doesn't make me angry, I won't sell her" "Hmm" Guan Wen nodded, raised his head slightly, and asked: "Dad thinks Ah Xiu dares to contradict his father like this now, it was my daughter-in-law who taught her?" At this time, Guan Ming didn't know how to answer, coughed and said vaguely: "A man has to control his mother-in-law, like your second brother, you can't be controlled by a woman, and you can't ...............be like you." "What am I?" ”
"What?" Guan Ming was stunned.
"It's my father who said that it can't be like me," Guan Wen looked at him, "What am I?" ”
Guan Ming was speechless.
If you want to say that the eldest son spoils his daughter-in-law, he hasn't seen much pet. If you want to say that the relationship between the young couple is not good, I don't see the two of them fighting each other. Although once the eldest son told the family very seriously that he was not allowed to talk about the daggers before the eldest daughter-in-law, it was also for the sake of the man's face, right?
So what is he like?
……,
Guan Ming frowned, and only said for a long time: "Oh, that's right! It's been several months since she entered the door, and she hasn't seen any movement in her stomach...... "Guan Wen squinted, "Didn't Mrs. Li say it when she got married, Xin'er asked her to tell her that she may not have children in the future, and asked if we can accept it." I said at the time, it's nothing if you don't have children, and you can just pass one from your brother in the future, and you will nod your head. Did Daddy forget? Guan Ming smiled wryly, and said: "Then she is next to your fifth sister, and now your fifth sister dares to talk back to me......"
"Dad, do you think it's the fifth sister's fault?" "She has no respect for her elders......"
"Then why doesn't Dad find out who did it wrong in the first place?" Guan Wen strangled the rope on his shoulder, and asked softly: "Ah Xiu thinks that Dad did something wrong about this, Ah Wu also said that Dad, you went too far this time, Ah Mei said that you still caught Xin'er if it wasn't about Xin'er." If I also say, Daddy, you are not right, Daddy, do you still think you are right? ”
Guan Ming's old face couldn't hold back: "You guys are angry with me!" I'm mad! None of them are old or young......"
Guan Wen was silent for a while, turned around and strode out, walked two steps and turned around, and smiled, but how bitter that smile looked.
"Dad, I suddenly found that although what Ah Xiu said was not good, it was true. In my father's heart, I'm afraid only the sixth brother is your son. ”
After speaking, he hurried forward, and faintly saw the scattered shadows of torches in front of him.
It's not dawn yet.
