Chapter 12: Two Drunkards

Wang stared at Shen Luzhu with a pair of eyes, staring at Shen Luzhu stubbornly, and he couldn't say a word for a long time!

How to say, what to say? Shen said everything to death, if she said that she hadn't said it, Shen would definitely say that she was embarrassed to admit that she felt sorry for her juniors, did she let her say that what she said at the time in front of her son, daughter-in-law and grandson, admitting that she was behind her back and instigating the relationship between the Chu Yi brothers?

Wang's can be regarded as knowing what it is called, the dumb eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say it if he suffers!

"It seems that I misunderstood the aunt yesterday, it turns out that the aunt is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and she doesn't want to say more when she does good things! Don't worry, I will make good use of those two rooms, and the things that my aunt left in them will also take good care of them! ”

Chu Ren looked at his cousin's bride in front of him, it seems that everyone was deceived by her yesterday, this Shen family is not a person who will be bullied and cry by his aunt at all, what kind of person is his aunt, he knows best as a son, after yesterday's incident, it would be good if Ah Niang didn't go to find trouble with the Shen family, how could she kindly vacate the house for her to use!

It seems that he has to remind his aunt when he goes back, and he will not have conflicts with this Shen family in the future, his aunt is not an opponent of others, and spreading it will only affect his reputation.

Chu Ren took two steps forward, nodded slightly at Shen Luzhu with a smile, and looked polite: "Brother and sister are too polite, A-Niang, she has always been like this, her mouth is hard and soft-hearted, maybe she can't go away with it yesterday, it's like this, the room on the left and right is empty, even if the brother and sister use it!" ”

Shen Luzhu saw Chu Ren looking at him, I don't know if it was because of the relationship between the eldest aunt and the Wang family, and he didn't have a good impression of this lobby brother, he didn't squeak, just looked at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi saw that his wife looked at him and didn't speak, so he tacitly took over the conversation: "Then thank you to the eldest aunt and cousin!" ”

When the husband and wife were lying on the kang and chatting at night, Shen Luzhu suddenly remembered that the Wang family alluded to him and Chu Yi monopolizing money, and was a little puzzled, when the in-laws died, the Chu family did not divide the family, where did the family property come from for the two of them to swallow it alone: "Chu Yi, isn't it only the uncle's family that has been divided, why does the eldest aunt think that we have swallowed the family property alone?" ”

"The rules left by the Chu family, after the children and grandchildren get married, if they finish the work at home, they can do private work to earn their own money, grandpa, daddy, when they were young, they were like this."

Shen Luzhu listened, turned to face Chu Yi: "It turns out that there really is!" ”

Chu Yi lifted the quilt up, covered Shen Luzhu's shoulders that were exposed because of turning over, and then got up and went to the kang cabinet to take a purse out: "There are more than ten taels left before getting married, I used up four taels of jewelry, and the rest is said to be kept for Chu Li, let's marry Zhao Cheng and they will follow some, they are all here, and they will be handed over to Azhu in the future!" ”

Shen Luzhu took the purse and muttered Chu Yi's words: "Jewelry? What jewelry, jewelry in a dowry? ”

"Well, Grandpa and Grandma and Third Uncle each gave three taels, and I took four taels of jewelry!"

"Chu Yi!" Shen Luzhu sat up suddenly, and threw himself into Chu Yi's arms: "Why are you so good!" "Make her hairpins, give her New Year's money, help her block things, and secretly pay for her jewelry, and don't say anything!

Chu Yi hugged the girl in his arms tightly and caressed her back: "My Azhu is also very good!" ”

The days are in April in a blink of an eye, spring ploughing has just ended, and the ninth day of the new year ushered in Grandpa Shen's 60th birthday! The birthday banquet was held in the evening, and Shen Luzhu and his wife waited for Chu Li to come back from the school, and then went to Shen's house together to celebrate Grandpa Shen's birthday!

Shen Luzhu has been married to the Chu family for almost three months, since the last time the house was vacated, the eldest aunt has not found any trouble, Chu Grandma thinks that Shen Luzhu does not know how to save cooking materials, so she and the third uncle's Xiuxiu to help to help, on weekdays, it is to clean up the house, and then wash the clothes of the Chu Yi brothers and herself, or help Xiuxiu do some work.

It is said that this day should be very smooth, but the longer she lives in the Chu family, the more depressed and unhappy Shen Luzhu feels, and the reason is very simple, she feels sorry for Chu Yi!

In addition to the old house where the Chu family lives now, they also built a coffin shop with a large yard on the vacant land at the end of the village, working in the backyard and doing business in the front shop. The Chu family has always relied on the craft of making coffins to make a living, and the field is not much to buy, only six acres, but it is just enough for the family's rations!

When the family was separated, Grandpa Chu gave the yard with the shop to the eldest family, and now it has been converted into a residence, and three acres of land and a lot of silver taels were given to the uncle's family.

Here in the Chu family's old house, Grandpa Chu is getting older and older, and now he can't do any physical work, the third uncle broke his left leg back then, and he has to go on crutches on weekdays, Chu Li is still young, and Chu Yi is the only strong laborer in the family!

Chu Yi got up before dawn every day, first went to the river to fetch water, then chopped firewood, and the three acres of land, such as ploughing and turning the soil, which required physical strength, also depended on him! After doing this, Chu Yi still has to make coffins every day, from selecting wood, making suitable size boards, to finally making coffins, every step has to be done by himself!

Shen Luzhu felt sorry for him, not only because he had so much work to do every day, but because Chu Yi worked so hard, all the elders of the entire Chu family, except for Third Uncle Chu, no one recognized and affirmed his efforts, and even despised him, ignored him, and took everything he did for granted!

Why? The people who give the most for this family don't get the attention and care they deserve! And some people, obviously chose to abandon this family at the most difficult time, but just because of an illusory and ethereal possibility of changing the court, they can get all the favors of the elders!

Shen Luzhu has never had such a strong desire to make money as now! She didn't want to be said to be a waste by Grandma Chu every time she wanted to do something good for Chu Yi and Chu Li, she didn't want Chu Yi to work so hard, and she wanted him to be more relaxed!

In his previous life, Shen Luzhu had read a lot of time-traveling novels, those protagonists who relied on modern knowledge to make a fortune in ancient times, discovered gold and silver mines, made perfumes and cosmetics, took the imperial examination road to become a big official, and many made all kinds of food, or cultivated out-of-season melons, fruits and vegetables, in short, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they can't do!

But she didn't know how to cook those tempting foods, she didn't have any knowledge of biology, agriculture or chemistry, she was just an art student who didn't finish her studies! Until the day of Qingming, Chu Yi took her and Chu Li to sweep the grave of her in-laws who had never met, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi burned a lot of paper money, thinking that the Chu family made coffins, maybe ......

Mother Shen was preparing the meal for tonight's birthday banquet, listening casually, her daughter often has all kinds of whimsical ideas, and Mother Shen has long been used to it: "So, this time you plan to sell the paper money?" ”

"Well, my daughter asked Chu Yi, the coffin shop of the Chu family also sold paper money before, but later it was separated, first, there was no shop to sell goods, and there was no time to go to the town to buy goods, so I didn't sell it anymore!"

Shen's mother actually disagrees with her daughter's idea, the most important thing in a woman's family is to teach her husband and children, and it is the responsibility of men to earn money, but she is now married, and some things still have to be discussed by the two of them: "So, you have already discussed it with your son-in-law, does he agree?" ”

"Of course, so this is not to listen to A-Niang's opinion again!"

"The son-in-law is more reliable than you, if he thinks it's okay, what else can A-Niang say! But I still have to remind you, in the end, this matter still has to be agreed by the Chu family, it is not easy for the countryman to save some money, if it is not good to explain to the in-laws if you lose it, you also said that the Chu family also sold it before, I can't say what the Chu family thinks, it's not good to insist too much! ”

Shen's mother said so, but she was quite relieved of her daughter at this point, Shen Luzhu was still in the Shen family, and some strange ideas would pop up from time to time, Shen's mother always felt that she was empty and unrealistic, but fortunately, Shen Luzhu never stubbornly insisted!

Shen Luzhu saw Shen's mother's disapproval, and there was nothing surprising, A-Niang always felt that she was thinking nonsense, but she didn't expect her A-Niang to agree because of Chu Yi's consent! For a while, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, in the eyes of her mother, whether Chu Yi was too reliable or she was too unreliable!

Immediately thought of what she said to Chu Yi, Chu Yi didn't ask anything, didn't ask her if it was a whim, didn't ask her if she had a plan, didn't even think about whether she would lose money, just looked at her, and then said "yes" gently and firmly!

Firmly, it was as if she said that she was going to pick the stars in the sky to sell, he would not hesitate to accompany her!

Grandpa Shen has always been popular in the village, his old man's 60th birthday, all the relatives and friends of the Shen family, and the villagers in the village can come to cheer! Chu Yi, as the aunt of the Shen family, followed the men of the Shen family to entertain the male guests in front, and Shen Luzhu took Chu Li to mix in the female guest seat.

Shen Luzhu was happy today, seeing that there was a home-brewed sweet fruit wine, he drank a lot, Chu Li saw that his sister-in-law was drinking happily, and the child was curious and drank it too!

A little later, the relatives and friends who came to celebrate the birthday left the table one after another, and Shen's father saw that it was not early, so he called Chu Yi, who was still helping to clean up, to stop, and asked him to call Shen Luzhu and Chu Li to go home, and the rest of his house was slowly cleaned up.

Chu Yi didn't see his wife and younger brother in the backyard, and went to his wife's original house again, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw two little drunkards sleeping dimly! couldn't wake up people, there was really no way, in the end, he could only walk in front with his wife on his back, and his eldest brother helped to follow behind with Chu Li on his back, and finally set foot on the way home!

The night in early spring was still a little cold, Shen Luzhu was lying on Chu Yi's back, and woke up as soon as the wind blew it, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, he was being carried home by Chu Yi! I don't know if I'm still a little drunk, or I'm too happy today, Shen Luzhu lay on Chu Yi's back, humming a song that was out of tune, hummed for a while and saw that Chu Yi didn't react, so he leaned forward again, and muttered in Chu Yi's ear: "Chu Yi!" ”

Chu Yi thought that his wife was drunk, and he was uncomfortable when he saw the wind, so he hurriedly stopped: "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

The person on his back ignored him and continued to say his own: "Chu Yi...... Messire...... Husband! ”

"Well, I'm here!"

"Chu Yi, A-Niang said that you are more reliable than me! Why is A-Niang like this...... Chu Yi is still the best! Chu Yi! ”

"Hmm!"

"Chu Yi, don't you think that A-Niang's cooking today seems to be too much salt?"

"Thirsty?"

"No, it's just ...... Then why do I always miss you! After speaking, he held Chu Yi's face, "Bar chirp" is a mouthful!

Shen Chuanbai, who was following behind Chu Li on his back, couldn't wait to be deaf and blind at the moment, his soft sister, how to drink a drink, she turned into a disciple in the play!

Fortunately, the night was dark, blurring Chu Yi's earlobes that were almost dripping blood, and the insects chirped, covering his rapid breathing and heartbeat, leaving only the river water reflecting the moonlight, vaguely reflecting the corners of his mouth that he couldn't let go!
