Chapter 45: The East Window Incident
Chen didn't say anything, and after He Chun'er said it, his expression seemed a little unnatural.
He was puzzled earlier, and then suddenly realized that the "mother-in-law" He Chun'er said was her biological mother's maternal uncle's family, not Chen's.
Because they earned almost ten taels of silver, the group was very happy, until they returned home with a smile on their faces.
He Tanger'er looked at them with some suspicion, and suddenly said, "Third sister-in-law, what is the basket on your back?" Let me see. ”
Chen whispered: "It's nothing, it's just sorghum wine for my father." ”
"Show me." He Tanger's voice was quite commanding.
He Zao smiled: "Mother, since my sister-in-law wants to see it, I will show it to her, so we bought wine, and came back with some grass by the way, but I didn't go to play." In his heart, he was glad that he was fortunate to come back and persuaded Chen to hide his things outside, otherwise there would be trouble.
"Phew, I went to the street and said I didn't go shopping, who did I say to it!" He Tanger'er glared at her, unceremoniously snatched the basket from Chen's hand, and looked down for a while.
But apart from the top jar of sorghum wine, there was nothing but grass and leaves.
Mrs. He suddenly scolded: "What about the orange cloth, why didn't you buy it?" ”
Without waiting for Chen's answer, He had already deliberately blinked his eyes: "What, milk, didn't my sister-in-law say I didn't want it when I went, and took the money away, not to mention whether there is any money, my sister-in-law said that none of us dare to buy it if we don't want it, isn't it, mother?" ”
Chen glanced at her and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense in the morning." ”
"Humph! Love to buy or not, when I'm so rare! He Tangerine strode around and entered the house, and smashed the bamboo curtain, and the curtain hit the door with a crackling sound.
When Mrs. He saw it, she frowned and scolded: "Go to work quickly, I am expected to do a lot of things!" ”
Chen was silent, went into the room to change his clothes, and when he saw that He Zao had also followed, he gave her the silver and copper coins: "Keep them well." ”
He Zao glanced at her, answered in a low voice, and took it.
The honeysuckle and scorpion sold before were also more than three taels, plus this time, she had a total of twelve taels of silver in her hand, and a few strings of loose money, compared to other traversers, these silvers were really insignificant, but He Zao was already very satisfied.
Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and money should be earned step by step!
Except for the silver that sent the four treasures and the seven treasures to school, the rest is just used as an investment, and no matter what you do in the future, you will not be without capital.
"Mother, are there winter melons planted in our field?"
Chen was a little surprised, He Zao basically didn't talk to her in private these days, but today's attitude seems to have changed a little.
But as a mother, of course, she was pleased with this change, nodded lightly, and smiled: "There are many in the field, I told your father at night, do you want to eat winter melon?" ”
Normally, she discourages children from eating greedily, and she is not allowed to ask adults for food, which in her opinion is unruly.
But perhaps she was too pleased with Hezao's change, and she didn't think about it at all.
He Zao thought about it, nodded, and whispered: "Let's go to eat on the slope." ”
Uphill, in fact, also uphill.
According to the dialect of Lujia Village, sometimes, they will call the shallow mountains in front of them the slopes, and the deep mountains in the back. For example, if you go to the south of Lujia Village, there is a village called "Poqian", and further in, there is another village called "Poli".
Chan didn't say anything more.
After only going out for a while, he turned back and handed He Zao three potatoes, apparently just taken from the kitchen: "I was really hungry when I went up the mountain, so I stewed and ate it, and I was hungry." ”
He Zao was suddenly surprised.
Qibao, who was still on the side, took it with a smile: "Thank you, mother, I love potatoes." ”
Chen, however, would like to advise: "Pay attention to open flames." Don't let your, sister-in-law see. With that, he turned around and went out.
He Zao smiled slightly.
She took the silver and went into the room, and Qibao followed up like a fart, and whispered: "Second sister, are you hiding money?" I'll show you people. ”
The tone of asking for praise made He Zao want to laugh.
She took a kerosene lamp for Shippo to shine on, and she went under the table, groped around the wall for a while, and then pulled out a large moving brick, in which the silver was from.
After putting it away, it came out in disgrace.
Qibao looked at her face, covered her mouth and snickered: "Second sister is like a big cat." ”
He Zao glared at him, but he couldn't help laughing.
After changing my clothes and washing my face, I just came out of the wing room, and I heard the angry shout of Mrs. He from the upper room: "The third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, Chun'er, Sibao, Qibao, Zao'er, you all come in for me." ”
He Zao chuckled in his heart, and there was an ominous premonition.
Qibao timidly pulled her sleeve: "Second sister? ”
"It's okay, let's go take a look."
Sibao and He Chun'er also came from the backyard, the latter still holding millet bran for feeding chickens.
"Just now, the second grandmother of the village head came, and after a while in the house, she left." Sibao reminded in a low voice.
He Zao nodded and whispered: "When the time comes, you will act according to my eyes." ”
These days, Hezao's capable sisters and brothers have seen it, so they all nodded and followed Chen into the house.
He Tanger'er sat beside Mrs. He and stared at them all from beginning to end, as if she was looking at glittering gold.
Ma gloated.
Mrs. He was furious and looked straight at Chen: "You ask you, what are you doing in the town today?" ”
He Zao first swept the inside of the house, on the kang, on the window, on the table and on the shelves over there, there was nothing more, let alone what they were hiding outside.
When the second grandmother came, she must have seen them hiding something outside, so it must be-
Sure enough, the next moment, Mrs. He scolded Chen: "You have lost your conscience, where did you get the money, and the five of you went to the restaurant to eat dumplings, ah?" Do you think this is your talented father's house, is it your mother's house? Spend a lot of my family's money, just for that bite to eat, why don't you pour the yellow soup into your stomach, the yellow soup that comes out is much more fragrant than dumplings! I said, why are they all clamoring to go to the street to catch a meeting, it turns out that they are all going to steal food, a bunch of glutton! ”
Chen was scolded a little dazed, and forced himself to defend: "Mother, no...... It's a few babies who haven't eaten anything good, so I want them to taste it......"
"Ahh I haven't eaten anything good, born in this family, that's life, you have to endure eating chaff vegetables, I haven't heard of my in-laws starving at home, and my daughter-in-law takes my son and daughter to eat and drink on the street, I want to go to your mother's house and ask, which family has this truth, you have a mother's birth and no mother's support, your mother taught you to honor your in-laws in the first place? ”
Mrs. He's scolding was so ugly that Chen wanted to explain a few sentences, but after hearing it, the whole person was like a lightning strike, and tears rolled down.
"Cry, which face do you have to cry? I have so many unfilial daughters-in-law, grandsons, granddaughters, I should have been hit headlong ago, you still have the face to cry, the eldest daughter-in-law, you go to the field, call the old man and the third child back, I have to say that I am ugly today, I am so bullied by the juniors, I can't be angry! ”
Ma was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he hurriedly agreed.
