Chapter 043: A Confused Look
Liu Xinyu's arrangement can be said to coincide with Zhang Hongliang's plan, but what came out of Liu Xinyu's mouth made Zhang Hongliang feel a little uneasy.
He froze and was silent for a moment without saying anything against it: "Okay, listen to you." ”
The two communicated well, and went to Liu Qingshan's tomb to worship together, and then went down the mountain.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Liu Xinyu looked back at the halfway up the hillside, just as a gust of wind blew, and the small tree planted in front of Liu Qingshan's grave swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving goodbye to her.
"I will live well for your daughter and honor your grandmother." Liu Xinyu silently said goodbye in her heart, turned around and strode in the direction of the village's house, her steps were very brisk.
Compared with Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hongliang seems to be a little distracted.
Today's face-to-face communication was completely in line with Liu Xinyu's expectations, which made Liu Xinyu feel open-minded, and almost hummed a little song on the way home.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, otherwise there would have been a big mistake, because the song she almost hummed was not a song of this era!
Zhang Hongliang sent Liu Xinyu home, watched the lights in the hall turn on, and then turned to leave.
"Came back, did they catch the eel?" As soon as Zhang Hongliang entered the house, he was surrounded by a family.
"Put the cage away, and I'll be back." Zhang Hongliang frowned, he didn't like the state of his family at this time, and simply gave a half-truth answer.
"I've only seen Liu Qingshan catch yellow eels before, and I've never heard that other people in the Liu family can catch yellow eels. I see, adding vegetables is just the Liu family's talk, hmph, you believe it! Saying that, Wu Qiaozhen glanced at Zhang Daniu, and her tone was a little contemptuous and disdainful.
Zhang Daniu was very dissatisfied with Wu Qiaozhen's attitude, and scolded with big eyes: "Even if they can't catch the yellow eel, it's very good for people to have this heart." ”
Since that mudslide, Wu Qiaozhen has felt unhappy almost every day, especially in the last few days.
After listening to Zhang Daniu's scolding, he opened his mouth and was about to go back, but was preempted by the old woman: "Okay, Hong Liang is back, and the family is also together." Let's discuss the matter of Hongxia again. How soon to be a grandmother, I still don't know the severity. ”
The old woman's words made Wu Qiaozhen have to swallow back the words that had reached her throat.
Zhang Daniu's parents are alive, the old lady is two years older than the old man, she is seventy years old this year, and she is still deaf and clear-sighted.
Chen Jialuo scolded him with a slap on his face, so that Zhang Hongxia still hadn't recovered, and at the moment she was sitting in the shadows of the light with a dazed expression, burying her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
"The general situation of our negotiation with the Chen family today has been said just now, the Chen family's attitude is still good, and the Chen family has also admitted his mistake." Looking at Zhang Hongxia, who was like a plague chicken, Zhang Daniu couldn't help but sigh.
Seriously, when the news of Chen Jialuo running to the field to scold Zhang Hongxia reached his ears, he didn't believe it.
For a long time, Zhang Daniu has been very satisfied with the family affair between Zhang Hongxia and Chen Jialuo.
Chen Jialuo is the only son of the Chen family, he has a sister who is three years older than him, married to the town five years ago, and there is a younger sister below, who has also been engaged, and the marriage date is only two months later than Chen Jialuo and Zhang Hongxia.
There are no other elders above except for their parents, and when Chen Jialuo's younger sister gets married, the Chen family only has two couples, the old and the young.
When the Chen family came to propose, not to mention Zhang Daniu, Wu Qiaozhen, who has always been picky, was very satisfied, and Zhang Hongxia was even more happy, the only thing that made people dissatisfied was that it was said that Chen Jialuo had always liked Liu Xinmei.
But who didn't have a favorite when they were young?!
Besides, since Chen Jialuo and Zhang Hongxia got engaged, almost every festival will come to Zhang's house to give gifts and relatives, the young man is polite and not vulgar, and he is diligent, always helping the family work.
Who would have thought that Liu Xinmei's few words would make him even indiscriminate.
This not only hit Zhang Hongxia hard, but also made the Zhang family lose face.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Jialuo's parents really liked Zhang Hongxia, and Chen Jialuo also sincerely admitted his mistake, Zhang Daniu might have quit this family in a fit of anger.
"Have you asked clearly, what did Liu Xinmei say to Jialuo?" Wu Qiaozhen asked with a calm face.
Originally, she planned to go to Chen's house in person to ask for clarification, but she was stopped by Zhang Daniu, and the old woman also stopped her from going, so she had no choice but to report at home.
Zhang Daniu's father and son didn't speak, but from their faces, Wu Qiaozhen could already guess a rough idea, and as soon as he slapped the table and stood up, he rushed out: "This is what you said to admit your mistake?!" No, I can't swallow that! Xiao Chi didn't say it, I asked Liu Xinmei directly about the dead girl, I didn't believe it, and there were words I couldn't ask! ”
"Don't you think it's big enough to be ashamed?!" Zhang Daniu slapped the table violently and yelled at Wu Qiaozhen, who was pulled by Zhang Hongliang but still wanted to rush out.
Wu Qiaozhen sat on the ground, patted the ground and cried: "You only care about your face, Hong Liang is like this, and Hongxia is like this." Is your face that important? ”
Zhang Daniu was so embarrassed that he raised his foot in anger, and he wanted to kick Wu Qiaozhen several times.
Zhang Hongliang didn't expect that what he was talking about was Zhang Hongxia, but he lay down again, and he really wanted to get out of the way.
But he is the eldest son, he must not walk away, neither can he watch his parents conflict, nor can he ignore his elderly grandmother, stepped forward to block between his parents, bent down and helped Wu Qiaozhen up from the ground: "Mom, calm down, don't cry first, let my dad finish speaking." ”
Wu Qiaozhen could splash at Zhang Daniu, but she was reluctant to embarrass Zhang Hongliang, and gradually calmed down under Zhang Hongliang's persuasion.
Old man Zhang, who has never liked to talk, glanced at his wife and children and grandchildren, "Not stupid, not deaf, not a writer, people, it's rare to be confused if you want to learn!" It's late at night, sleepy, just say the result! ”
Zhang Daniu looked at Zhang Hongliang.
On the way back from Chen's house, they discussed Zhang Hongliang.
This is the reason why the family insisted on waiting for Zhang Hongliang to return home.
Zhang Hongliang nodded at Zhang Daniu and looked at Zhang Hongxia: "Chen Jialuo promised us that he would only be good to his eldest sister in the future."
The Chen family proposed to change the wedding date to August 18, and add a Shanghai watch to the dowry.
Now it's up to the eldest sister to see what she thinks.
If we are not satisfied, we can continue to negotiate with the Chen family.
If you don't want to be close to the Chen family, you can also return the dowry to the Chen family and find a better one! ”
Zhang Hongxia raised her head suddenly, looked at Zhang Hongliang in surprise with her mouth slightly open.
In the past, Zhang Hongxia felt that it was her great blessing to be able to marry Chen Jialuo, but what happened today made her feel as if she had fallen from heaven to hell, and it also made her see that what Chen Jialuo liked was actually Liu Xinmei.
She wanted to gamble and give her back the kiss, but she ...... She is already a member of Chen Jialuo.
After retiring from her family, who else can she marry?
Looking at the tearful Zhang Hongxia, Zhang Hongliang twitched his mind and said: "You always say that Liu Xinyu is squeamish, in my opinion, Hongxia is not as good as her!" ”
Well, all eyes were on his face.
