Chapter Eighty-Four: Does My Family Owe You?
"Is Brother Ji at home?" Someone shouted outside the door, and heard that it was Steward Lin's voice, Ji Nuan asked the eldest brother and second brother to find a way to get the third uncle away, and he must not let him see the vegetables in the hall.
Ji Lianxi jumped out of the back wall, came in through the gate and told the third uncle and grandmother to call him home to eat meat, Ji Ruixue's mind and eyes were on the shopkeeper Lin who had just entered the door, and when he saw the two carriages behind him, he thought that he was a gift again.
Last time, I didn't see what the other party sent, and was fooled by the second nephew's words, this time he has to stare at the carriage to see what the other party is taking, even if he has to order white noodles, snacks and sugar, he won't leave at this juncture!
Seeing that Ji Ruixue refused to leave, Ji Lianqiu and Ji Lianfu dragged him to the next room and plugged in the door, both of them knew Ji Ruixue's temperament, that is, a man with a kang head, and his family showed off his might and saw someone else coercing him.
The two of them scared him and said that Steward Lin didn't like to be disturbed by strangers when he was talking about things, didn't he see that their brothers didn't go to the hall, and if they were unhappy, they would scold people, and if they were serious, they would let the thugs around them drag people out and beat them.
Really? Ji Ruixue didn't believe it, Ji Lianfu told him that if he collided with Steward Lin, don't blame himself for not reminding him in advance, Ji Ruixue said that he was very tough, and he didn't do anything bad to be afraid of, and his steps didn't move a little like lead.
Looking through the hidden window to see the people brought by Steward Lin to carry things to the carriage, Ji Rui asked the two nephews what was in the basket?
"Our family sent a return gift from the forest steward, except for some mountain goods, which are chickens, eggs, etc., and we can't afford too valuable things." Ji Lianqiu was afraid that the third uncle would suddenly rush out and block the door.
It wasn't until Steward Lin left, and after a while, it was estimated that his mother and sister had put the silver away, and the brothers took Ji Ruixue out of the house, and it happened that Ji Ruinian was also there at this time, and he asked his daughter-in-law to scoop five catties of white flour and put it in a basin: "Let's go, I'll go to the old house with you." "It is necessary to tell my stepmother that my money is also out, and I have taken my things, and I have inquired about it in the crescent ditch, who is more generous than the New Year's gift I gave to my father and mother, and what do I want.
They are also too greedy, today they actually came to ask for noodles and fish, this is to share their own blessings, they must warn and let their father know what they do, restrain his younger brother, such a big person doesn't want to make money on his own, do you expect others to help you live?
As soon as the brothers entered the gate of the old house, Liu Xiuhong trotted out to greet them, and when she saw that there was only a pot of noodles, she rolled her eyes and pouted: "Big brother, you are too picky, give us a little bit if others give us so many things." ”
"Third daughter-in-law, do my family owe you anything, let's put it in my heart, if it weren't for my father's sake, I wouldn't have taken these things. I'm here today to tell you, don't let the third child go to our house to ask for this and that in the future, I will bring what should be given without you urging me, and it's useless if we don't want it. Ji Ruinian stood at the door and didn't enter the house, and when he caught a glimpse of the old man in the house, he specially raised his voice.
"Boss, what do you mean, you just want to break up with us after two good days, don't you? Let me tell you, not only do you have to take care of me and your father, but you also have to take care of Ruixue, and you have to take care of it for a lifetime. Ji Liu rushed out of the house, wanting to use his status as an elder to suppress his stepson with the momentum of being a family member.
It's a pity that Ji Ruinian is no longer the foolish and filial person who thought that filial piety was greater than heaven a few months ago, and would rather be wronged than disobey his father. After he experienced life and death and no one cared about him, his own daughter was almost thrown away, his stepmother and brother didn't blink an eyelid, and he suddenly wanted to open it when their family was almost swept away.
Some people don't deserve to mention the word family affection at all, maybe they also have family affection, but they just give it to others, and they have never had it for their family.
"I repaid your nurturing grace with one leg, and I am worthy of the third brother, a person as big as him has hands and feet, and even his daughter-in-law is married and does not work and waits for gold ingots to fall from the sky, why don't you want to think that I still have eight children to raise, who will help me."
From now on, don't let the third brother go to our house to ask for things, otherwise I will ask the village to open an ancestral hall, let's talk about it well, I don't want to make noise for the New Year, so I will give you some noodles, and now return the pot to me. ”
Ji Liu poured out the white noodles and wanted to throw the basin on Ji Ruinian's face, Liu Xiuhong walked over and deliberately bumped into her mother-in-law's hand, and the basin fell to the ground and cracked: "Oh, big brother is so embarrassed, I didn't mean to." ”
"Dad, you have seen it, even if I dig out my heart and give it to this family, I will not be able to earn any good money, to be honest, it is better for me to send things here than to send beggars, they may still think of me. Dad, the day you get old and can't do anything, go to your son's place to care for the elderly, I won't care about the others anymore, if someone doesn't believe it and wants to make trouble, just try, I will let her live in the crescent ditch. After Ji Ruinian said these words, his heart was relaxed, and he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
After Ji Ruinian left, Ji Baojin smoked a cigarette pouch for a long time: "The family can't get along well, and now you are satisfied!" I also announced one thing today, from the end of the year, what do I do Ruixue and his daughter-in-law have to do what they do, if they don't do it, we will split up, and I will take my share of things to the old family. I can eat white flour buns when I go, and I don't have to go out to work every day, life is definitely more comfortable than here, you want to make trouble and continue to make trouble, I'll go out for a walk. ”
The old man extinguished the cigarette pouch, put it on the table and left with his hands behind his back, since the boss promised to support himself, he would not regret it, and now he was also down-to-earth, let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law make trouble, just toss.
In the blink of an eye, in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after Ji Ruifeng's family hung up the peach charm, they ran to the eldest brother's house Ji Ruinian to pull his reluctant younger brother and Ji Lianqiu to follow the ancestors. This year's ancestor worship is all prepared by Ji Ruinian, Ji Lian took his cousin to see the wild boar, Gu Shuzhen said that the piglet will be raised and sent to the second brother and the second master's family.
Li Wanyun made a red skirt for Ji Nuan, and learned that Zhang Qiaohua also gave her a red skirt, so she had to change into one today, and combed her with a bun and tied a red hairband. The two of them were tinkering in the house for half an hour, and when Li Wanyun led Ji Nuan out of the door, it happened that Ji Ruifeng and they also came back, and the old man also followed him into the courtyard, and he was a little afraid to recognize his granddaughter after he was dressed.
This child used to be very inconspicuous, and it was difficult to be found in the pile of embarrassment, but I didn't expect to completely change after the separation, so dressed like a young lady, did she look away, this girl is really a blessing?
