Chapter 97: Family Meeting (2)
Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Ren's face with some unconcealable disgust and anger, and laughed in his heart, but his face was still light and light: "Where did you just go?" Oh, yes, when it comes to the convenience of the aunt and sister-in-law to take care of their son, this time, Ali is now living in the house where his father and mother were alive, and we can't stop the child from thinking about his father! Second, the granddaughter-in-law thinks that the uncle is right, the father and mother live in the same room with the son, and it is convenient to take care of it. Grandpa and grandma feel it? ”
Although Grandpa Chu couldn't get used to seeing Shen Luzhu confronting his elders in a weird way, he was very tired of the Wang family's love to take advantage of him and his trouble-making temperament, so he chose to turn a blind eye and not express his position.
Grandma Chu doesn't have much feeling about this, whose child didn't live with his father and mother when he was a child, anyway, if the Wang family wins this matter, or Shen Luzhu wins, it doesn't hinder herself: "It's done, why do you have to do it!" ”
"Then listen to Grandpa and Grandma, this matter is decided! When I go back, my aunt will move back, just let me know in advance, and I will tidy up the two rooms! ”
Seeing that the Wang family was a little unconvinced, and seemed to want to refute a few words, Chu Ren hurriedly interjected on the side: "Grandpa, we also think that this will be done, and we all listen to grandpa and grandma!" ”
Grandpa Chu smashed the cigarette pouch in his hand twice, and then continued: "It's cold now, let's wait until the end of the New Year, but from tomorrow, let's start firing together, and those coffins in the backyard, Chu Yi, you go back and wait for your uncle and them to move over, and then use the ox cart to pull them to the yard on the other side of the shop." ”
"Okay."
"Alright, there's nothing else to do, let's eat!" Grandpa Chu said that he was about to move the chopsticks first, but was interrupted by the Wang family!
"Daddy, I still have something to say!"
Hearing this, Grandpa Chu put down the half-sandwiched dishes and chopsticks, picked up the cigarette pouch again and said, "Say it." ”
"Daddy and Auntie, that's the case, we also have a shop now, and the coffin trade will have to be moved over when the time comes, so it's better to simply move the paper money to the shop over there, so it's convenient to put it together!"
Shen Luzhu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, they didn't care whether they returned home or split up, but no matter how the family lived in the future, it didn't seem to be about their paper money shop: "The matter of our shop won't bother with Uncle Niang!" Chu Yi and I don't need to move, and the shop is also newly built, just in front of the courtyard gate, so it's convenient for us to do business! ”
"What's yours, ours, aren't they all our old Chu family's shops and traders, besides, didn't the shops also sell paper money before, isn't it just right for the coffin shop to sell paper money! From now on, it's all their own work, and it's not easy for everyone to work together, and besides, when the shop is bigger in the future, Chu Yike will have to focus on making coffins, but it can't be like now! ”
Shen Luzhu can be regarded as knowing, what kind of wishful thinking this Uncle Chu's family is playing, what they want to do for filial piety for a long time, and serving their grandmother is just an excuse, it turns out that people are eyeing their paper money business!
"Uncle!"
Shen Luzhu stopped Chu Yi, who had already stood up, and he didn't pay attention to the Wang family, but turned his head to face Grandpa Chu, who was sitting on the top seat: "Grandpa and Grandma think the same way?" ”
Grandma Chu glanced at the Wang family, and thought about what the Wang family whispered to herself that day, for the sake of the eldest grandson, the financial power in this family really has to be held in her own hands, or take advantage of this opportunity to come back, I am afraid it will be even more difficult in the future!
Grandma Chu paused, cleared her throat and persuaded: "There is nothing wrong with what your aunt said, they are all a family, and the whole family works together to live this life well. ”
Hearing this, Grandpa Chu glanced sideways at Grandma Chu, his face was not depressed, obviously he was angry with the small tricks made by Grandma Chu and the Wang family behind his back, and he didn't inform him in advance of such a big matter!
But no matter how angry Grandpa Chu is at this time, he will never be able to dismantle the stage of his wife and son with his own hands, if Chu Yixiao's business can really take this opportunity to return home, it will be a good thing for the Chu family and Chu Ren to take the imperial examination road in the future!
Seeing this, Shen Luzhu also guessed the situation, Grandma Chu must be aware, and it is even possible that she planned this act with the Wang family, even if Grandpa Chu didn't know about it before, it seems that he has already acquiesced!
Shen Luzhu couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart for being stupid, he thought that Uncle Chu's family just wanted to make up some money for Chu Ren today, but he didn't expect people to have a big appetite!
"Grandpa, we said it clearly before, this paper money transaction is a private work that I and Chu Yi did by themselves, since the beginning of the day, I have not used a penny at home, and later promised to give Grandpa and Grandma three taels of silver every month, in exchange for Chu Yi's half-day rest time, Grandpa promised to be categorical, and said that in the future, who will say something about what is not, change your mind indiscriminately, and come to you to call the shots! Grandpa doesn't want to admit it now? ”
"Shen's ......"
Seeing that Grandma Chu was in a hurry to talk, Shen Luzhu turned his head and scolded: "Grandma should not talk first, it is the first time for the granddaughter-in-law to see Grandma take the lead to take advantage of the grandchildren, in case you can't control it for a while, it's not good to say something more ugly!" After all, no one has such a big belly, and he can tolerate his hard work of weeding, fertilizing, and cultivating crops for a year, and in the end all the pigs will be arched! ”
"Shen! How do you speak! ”
"There's something even more ugly, do you want to hear it?"
Third Uncle Chu hurriedly stood up on crutches and acted as a peacemaker: "Luzhu, don't get excited, Daddy and Auntie, sister-in-law's arrangement is really not appropriate, how can this deal be said to be our Chu family?" It's obviously the family's own, so it's considered to be a family, and it's normal for the juniors to feel uncomfortable! ”
When the Wang family heard this, he stood up, pointed at Uncle Chu and said angrily: "Third brother! When will your elbow turn outward be corrected! I won't talk about the previous things, what benefits did this Chu Yi and his family give you, so that you don't care about your own interests, then the family has earned money, why don't you follow the flowers? I see you ......"
"Auntie, if you have something to say!" Chu Ren had no choice but to stop Wang's next words again, they really didn't care so much about the shop, this time they were bound to offend Chu Yi and his family, but that couldn't offend everyone at once, for the third uncle, they still had some tricks to woo.
"Third uncle, A-Niang, she has always been straightforward and fast-talking, there is no malice, she is just thinking about the family, if the third uncle thinks something is wrong, he can discuss it again."
But the Wang family was angry, and he was very puzzled by Chu Ren's obstruction, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he said it all, so he naturally had to do it all at once, saving him a lot of dreams at night in the future!
"Daddy and Auntie, it's true that this deal was done for Chu Yi and the two of them before, but don't you look at what they have done with this deal! All this business was done by them, and they were put in prison! The signboard and face of our Chu family will be lost by the two of them, not to mention, this will affect Chu Ren's imperial examination in the future! This deal says that nothing can be done for them anymore, it must be taken back! ”
"Sister-in-law! Ah Yi and the two of them were obviously wrongfully framed, haven't they all explained this matter clearly, it has nothing to do with them! ”
The Wang family doesn't care if Chu Yi and the two have been wronged, whether they have explained it clearly, she has only one goal at the moment, that is, to quickly take the cash cow-like shop into her own hands: "Explain it clearly, why are there so many rumors in the village, there are all kinds of rumors!" Besides, this time they came out by luck, next time, if I want to say that they don't know how to be people, they offended the Hu family, so that the family will bite our shop! This shop said that nothing can be done for the two of them anymore, and it must be taken back! Daddy and Auntie, we have to think about the other juniors in this family! ”
Shen Luzhu snorted contemptuously: "Heh! Uncle Niang really sings well, reversing black and white! Since I am afraid that Chu Yi and I will affect my cousin's career in the imperial examination, what are you doing with the current momentum of having to return home? Are you afraid that the road to the imperial examination will be too smooth? ”
"Shen! That's what your parents taught you? That's how you talk to me, an elder! ”
"Who did you learn from that aunt who loves to take advantage of her like this, is Grandma still your mother's family?"
"Shen!"
"Enough!"
Grandpa Chu raised his palm and slapped it heavily on the table, and with a "snap", the dishes and chopsticks on the table trembled!
Wang was taken aback, shrunk his neck and stopped temporarily, but Shen Luzhu didn't care at all, didn't dodge or dodge, and looked at Grandpa Chu fixedly: "Grandpa hasn't answered my question yet, don't you want to admit it in this posture today!" ”
Grandpa Chu widened his eyes and looked at Shen Luzhu viciously: "Shen! Don't challenge my patience! ”
Chu Yi got up again, stood there side by side with his wife, looked around at his elders, and then returned his gaze to Grandpa Chu's face, looked directly into his eyes coldly, and said word by word: "Grandpa, do you want the uncle's family to return to the old mansion, and how to arrange the business of the coffin shop in the future, we can all not mix, but only this paper money shop, except for me and Ah Zhu, no one can interfere, let alone take it up like this!" ”
Compared with Shen Luzhu's resistance, Grandpa Chu actually couldn't accept Chu Yi's words, which was simply a naked provocation for Grandpa Chu, who was accustomed to Chu Yi, who had always been obedient!
"It's against you! It's really against you! I haven't settled accounts with you for all the mess you caused before! The ancestors of the Chu family have never been in prison for so many years, and the face of the Chu family will be lost by the two of you! You're embarrassed to tell me here, you can't meddle in your shop at home! I'm still going to intervene in this matter today.,Tomorrow I'll get up this shop and go home.,I see who dares to have an opinion! ”
When Wang heard this, he couldn't hold back his joy, and his eyebrows opened and he smiled, as if it was not her who had just earned a red face and a thick neck.
The table was clapped by Grandpa Chu, who was eager to stand up and re-invigorate Chu Yi, Chu Yi just stretched out his hand to protect Shen Luzhu, and in this louder slapping sound, he completely recognized the reality, and the fact is that his blind forbearance cannot be exchanged for a moment of peace for his wife and younger brother.
"I said, the paper money shop belongs to me and Ah Zhu!"
Grandpa Chu grabbed the chopsticks at hand and fell over: "Even you are my Chu family's species!" ”
Chu Yi stretched out his hand to block the chopsticks that flew over, and then said lightly: "Split up!" I took Ah Zhu and Ah Li Single, whether the Chu family wants to divide or want to be together in the future, even if it is selling food and opening a gambling house in the shop, it has nothing to do with us! ”
"Ayi!"
Third Uncle Chu looked at Chu Yi with a shocked face!
