Chapter 52 Aunt Zhang fried chestnuts

Fang Shi saw that his man's tone was a little hesitant, and his heart was happy, as long as there was a diaphragm in his heart, it would be easy to say.

"Why not, don't be stupid, don't you see that your mother is now thinking about the eldest brother in her heart, and your second son has completely fallen out of favor in his mother's eyes."

"No, my mother treats us as equals now, don't think about it, it's better to finish the work in hand quickly, so that we can pack up and go home."

Seeing that his man was not moved by his words, Fang Shi could only angrily take out the spoon in his hand.

Because of the experience of selling goods last time, this time the sugar-fried chestnuts were sold out without much publicity, and the chestnut cakes were sold out a little slowly, and they were all sold out.

The two Wende brothers were full of joy, looked at the mother who was counting the money, and asked a little anxiously: "Mother, how much did you earn today?" ”

Ma Chunhua stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of the three of them, looking particularly proud.

"Two taels?" Fang was even more pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

The two sons are also happy, the family has an income, the standard of living will improve, so that they can earn twenty taels a month, a total of eight people working in the family calculated, on average, to catch up with a strong man working outside for people to earn money.

Fang Shi calculated in his heart that the income of a large set was two taels, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable, he was doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, but making money was counted on everyone's heads, and it was a little unevenly distributed.

It was not revealed on the face, but in the heart he felt uncomfortable, feeling that he had mastered the technology, and if he was separated, the money earned from the sale would be put into his pocket like running water.

"Isn't this the Zhang family's aunt? What kind of business is such a big stall doing, right? ”

The one who spoke was Miao Hua, a widow from the same village, who married her husband Ma Guang a few years ago, but because the other party was addicted to eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling, her body was hollowed out and she died of illness.

Miao Hua is a Jiangnan woman who was abducted and trafficked, kind-hearted, very delicate, her husband died and did not leave, and she took a daughter to serve her in-laws and survived a difficult life.

Two years ago, the second elder also died one after another because he missed his only son, leaving her three-year-old daughter Ma Xiaoling well-behaved and sensible.

Ma Chunhua saw her enthusiastic appearance and replied: "It turned out to be Xiaoling's mother, did she come to the market today, what a coincidence!" ”

Miao Hua is a transparent woman, so she didn't continue to ask when the topic diverged: "Yes, auntie, I brought Xiaoling to the town to pull some flower cloth to make cotton clothes for the child, I am afraid that I will make winter clothes in a few days, and the price of flower cloth will rise again." ”

When Ma Chunhua heard her answer, she knew that this child was a good woman who lived a good life, but she was pitiful that Xiaoling had no father at such a young age.

"It's good to prepare early, my family has already prepared, and in a few days, the price of the cloth store will definitely increase."

"You pack your things and get ready to go home, then Xiaoling and I won't bother you, we have to go to the grocery store to buy something."

"Go, go, by the way, in a few days, my boss will hold a full moon wine, and you can bring Xiaoling over to be lively and lively when you have time."

Miao Hua's eyes widened instantly, obviously unprepared, she didn't expect that the aunt of the Zhang family was an invincible barbarian woman before, and when she saw someone she didn't want to provoke, she would invite herself to drink full moon wine so warmly.

Recently, people in the village have said that Aunt Zhang has changed, she has become reasonable, and she has become easy to talk, and she just wants to say hello when she meets her today, after all, she lives in a village.

Miao Hua couldn't believe that she could be invited to participate in the child's full moon wine from a widow's family?

Wende saw Miao Hua's surprise, and said awkwardly: "My Jinbao is smart and well-behaved, and I will bring the child over when I have time!" ”

Miao Hua was a little excited, the people in the village had always thought that she was an ominous woman, killed her husband, and angry her in-laws away.

"Can I go?"

Miao Hua was unsure of what she heard.

Wen Hong knew that the eldest brother was stupid, so he took over the conversation and said: "There is a village to live, what can't you come, the eldest brother and his mother sincerely invite you to drink the full moon wine, don't be polite to us!" ”

Miao Hua nodded gratefully at the second brother, grateful for his clear and detailed explanation.

"Auntie, eldest brother, second brother and second sister-in-law, that's really good, then I'll go over early that day to help!"

Ma Chunhua looked at the shy Miao Hua in front of her, and she couldn't say that it was a kind of distress, "Then let's say okay, come over early, you also know that I have many boys and few female dependents in my family, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to work when the time comes." ”

After Miao Hua agreed, she said a few polite words to Ma Chunhua before leaving with Xiaoling.

"Phew! What, a widow's family doesn't know how to avoid suspicion, and everything is rubbed forward, what a shameless woman. ”

Ma Chunhua immediately glared at her angrily and scolded: "What, what's wrong with the person I invited, letting you insult her behind her back like this?" ”

Fang Shi saw her go away, and suddenly said something bad for her, she was actually not clear about her character, but there was a happy event in the family, and it was obviously a bit unlucky for such a half-person to come to the house.

"Mother, our family is holding a happy event, how bad it is for half of her dead husband to celebrate, I'm also afraid that it will be bad for our Jinbao!"

"Our old Zhang family does things above board, I don't believe in these heresies, I drove Ming Miaohua to the house, don't show me face, don't say I didn't remind you?"

Wen Hong went up and grabbed Fang Lingxiu, and said softly: "What kind of half-cut people, our family is not doing a happy event to marry a daughter-in-law, and the full moon is not so particular, don't worry about it?" ”

Fang Shi recalled Miao Hua's flattering eyes towards her man just now, and he was angry.

Taking advantage of the fact that her mother-in-law couldn't hear it, she scolded in a low voice: "I think you don't pay attention to her, as soon as people open their mouths, the second brother is long and the eldest brother is short, and he doesn't know the southeast, northwest, right?" ”

Wen Hong's face sank, how could this woman not know what to do, she still kicked her nose and face when she gave her steps, why can't she learn from her sister-in-law to be as empathetic as her.

"What do you mean?"

"I said she was a vixen, and when she saw a man, she would stick it up, and she didn't know how to be ashamed."

"Be quiet, don't let my mother hear it, what's wrong with you, ruining people's reputation like this?"

"Big brother, second brother, then I'll come early, what are you doing early, it's not early to seduce other people's men, widows without men are all virtuous, not a good thing!"

The more Fang Shi spoke, the more presumptuous he became, and while learning Miao Hua's tone, he was only talking about humiliating language in his head, and when he heard a loud noise, he was stunned for a moment.

"Smack!"

Before Fang's voice fell, he heard Ma Chunhua drop the iron spoon in his hand on the table.

At the same time, the two brothers were frightened in an instant, and even the traders who were closing the stalls next to them were frightened by the old lady.

But she didn't understand what was going on, and she didn't dare to come forward to persuade her at will, so she could only hope that her children would let the old lady discourage her as soon as possible.

Fang Shi regretted it after speaking, she didn't listen to the second child's whisper, in fact, she also had some opinions about her mother-in-law, but said that Miao Hua was a widow and not a good person, and even her mother-in-law was involved, she was really unintentional.

She got angry and forgot that her mother-in-law was also a widow, and this was not a disguised scolding of her mother-in-law for not being a good person.

Wende stepped forward with courage: "Mother, my brother and sister are not intentional, they should listen to the rumors of the loudspeaker, you should be angry and don't be like her." ”

With the help of the eldest brother to explain, Fang hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is just afraid that it will be unlucky for her to come, since our old Zhang family didn't say it, then let her come." ”
