Chapter 55: Too Unfilial
Time rewinds to before Apricot opens the courtyard door.
Outside the door, Mrs. Shen was sticking gold on her son, while looking at the closed courtyard gate in front of her, and her teeth itched with hatred in her heart.
In the past, Qin Jiuniang was obedient like a docile kitten in front of her mother-in-law, so that she didn't dare to go east to west, and she didn't dare to pick up rice to eat when she drank water.
But this time she came to her son's house, but she was shocked to find that her daughter-in-law, who was once extremely obedient, had turned into a little wild cat with bared teeth and grinning, not only divorced her son, but also let her eldest daughter be imprisoned in the government prison, with those death row prisoners and felons!
要不是他们沈家祖宗保佑,皇上下旨大赦天下,她家大闺女怕是就要悄无声息地死在府衙大牢中了!
至于她这个做婆婆的就更不用说,才刚到儿子家门口,门都还没有进呢,就被儿媳妇推进了门前的河里——
Mrs. Shen always believed that the reason why she crashed into the river that time was all caused by Qin Jiuniang.
Qin Jiuniang said that her daughter-in-law, she is a mother-in-law, and she, as a mother-in-law, wants to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, and her daughter-in-law should stick out her head and let her beat.
If Qin Jiuniang stood there obediently and didn't dodge when she rushed over to hit Qin Jiuniang that day, how could she crash into the air and be unlucky enough to crash into the river?
In the cold winter of the river, there is still a layer of ice ballast floating in the water, how cold the river is, you can imagine how cold it is, and she almost didn't freeze her old bones to death in the river.
Not to mention that the girl spent a lot of money to hire someone to salvage her, just the money she spent on seeing a doctor and taking medicine in the back could make Mrs. Shen half distressed to death.
In her opinion, all of this is Qin Jiuniang's fault.
Every time she thought of this, Mrs. Shen was so angry that she trembled, and she couldn't wait to tie up Qin Jiuniang and stuff her into the pig cage and drown in the pond.
Now that she finally grabbed Qin Jiuniang's pigtails, how can Mrs. Shen let go?
The old woman lifted two thin eyelids and looked at the chimney that was still emitting white smoke, and her heart was proud and excited.
The white smoke in the chimney kept rising, indicating that someone was in the house.
And now it's time to make lunch, and the chimney is just white smoke, indicating that the master and servant should be making lunch in the kitchen at this time.
If you smell carefully, you can indeed smell the aroma of the food.
But she and her son have been calling the door outside for a long time, and the people inside don't come to open the door, what does this mean?
It means that there is a man hidden in the house, and the people inside dare not open the door!
不然的话,谁家大白天会把院门关得这么严实,而且还怎么叫都叫不开啊!
As long as she blocks people in the house, catches them, and lets people know that Qin Jiuniang is a slut who does not abide by women's morals, then her son's reputation can be saved!
- It's not in vain that she worked so hard to run this trip today.
Mrs. Shen pushed her son away, took a deep breath, and shouted again in a loud voice: "Jiu Niang! Jiu Niang, open the door! Mother came to see you—"
Shen Chongde deserved to crawl out of Shen Pozi's belly, his thoughts were the same as Shen Pozi's, and he also felt that Qin Jiuniang was obviously at home, but he didn't open the door for them, he must be doing something invisible in the house, so he pretended to be dead and didn't dare to open the door.
Originally, today, he deliberately came to the door to ask for peace - of course, his so-called peace is just an illusion for the world to see.
Zhong Ziyan is right, his Shen family's property is all Qin Jiuniang's hard work.
Now although Qin Jiuniang has left the house and given him all the property, he can't do nothing, so he takes over the huge property left to him by Qin Jiuniang.
Otherwise, it would really be the same as what Qin Jiuniang said at the Xixue banquet-
——这些产业,就当是我送给你的赡养费。
He is a big man, and he still has to live on alimony from women, what has become of this?
Not to mention that he will not be able to hold his head up in front of the world in the future, even his children and grandchildren will be implicated and ridiculed by the world in the future.
Unless he doesn't want the Shen family's existing property, he will earn the family business again with his bare hands and his own skills.
But with such a big family business in front of him, except for Qin Jiuniang, a madman, who can be willing to say that he doesn't want it?
Besides, is it so easy to earn a family business?
Therefore, for the sake of his reputation, and for his descendants not to be ridiculed by the world, he must do something to let the world know that even if there is no Qin Jiuniang, Shen Chongde can still be a huge rich.
He discussed with Zhong Ziyan for most of the night, and then he came up with the current method: he put down his body for the time being and took the initiative to come to the door to ask for peace.
As for whether Qin Jiuniang accepts his request for peace, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to let the world know that he, Shen Chongde, has always loved Qin Jiuniang, a woman.
Then he played an affectionate signboard, and on the grounds of guarding the emotional witness between the two, he naturally took over the property that Qin Jiuniang left in the Shen family.
As a result, who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected gain, Qin Jiuniang, a crazy woman, is really crazy, in broad daylight, she dares to have sex with other wild men at home!
There was an unexpected surprise from the sky, but Shen Chongde was not so surprised, he was more angry in his heart, angry that Qin Jiuniang did not abide by women's morals, and dared to cuckold him.
The woman he Shen Chongde doesn't want, no one can touch it, he can only guard him like jade for the rest of his life, and he will be lonely for the rest of his life!
Therefore, Shen Chongde, a strong man, could have completely grabbed Shen Pozi and prevented Shen Pozi from hitting the door.
As a result, he didn't do this, only moved his mouth, gritted his teeth and persuaded Mrs. Shen: "Mother, let's wait a little longer, maybe Jiuniang is busy at this moment, and it's inconvenient to open the door for us." ”
What he said was too easy to make people think, in broad daylight, what could be so busy that it was inconvenient to open the door?
He didn't directly tell the people who came over to see the excitement of the melon-eating crowd, saying that Qin Jiuniang was in the house and had a good time.
大家本来就对秦九娘一直不开门的事感到奇怪不解,如今听了沈崇德的这句“不方便”后,众人心中的不解和狐疑就全都迎刃而开了——
- The people in the house are busy fooling around with wild men, but it's just inconvenient to open the door!
Everyone's eyes released an ambiguous light of gossip, and they looked at Mrs. Shen eagerly, waiting for her to kick the door.
Mrs. Shen was greatly encouraged!
She took a few steps back, then quickly rushed to the courtyard gate, kicking it towards the courtyard gate.
It was at this time that the courtyard door, which could not be opened no matter how it was called, suddenly opened with a "creak"!
The familiar scene repeats itself again.
The courtyard door opened, and Shen Pozi, who had riveted enough strength, kicked in the air, pounced forward, and fell to the ground with a "clang".
What was waiting for her this time was the mallet that Apricot had just thrown on the ground.
Mrs. Shen fell down with a forward pounce, and her chin happened to hit the mallet just by chance.
She only felt a numbness in her jaw at first, then soreness, then a sharp pain, and then a large stream of fishy sweet heat suddenly gushed out of her mouth.
Spit out, spit out a puddle of bright red.
The bright red was also wrapped in two white broken teeth.
Mrs. Shen sat on the ground, staring at the two teeth and was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what was going on-
Her tooth was broken!
It's two of them!
Mrs. Shen immediately went crazy, jumped up and pointed at Qin Jiuniang and scolded: "Qin Jiuniang! Good shameless little whore! Dare to make a black hand at the old lady! Do you still have my mother-in-law in your eyes! Aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder! ”
The sudden change also made Shen Chongde stunned for a moment, and at this moment he reacted, hurriedly rushed into the courtyard, and also said angrily to Qin Jiuniang:
"Qin Jiuniang! I think you're crazy! Mother is so old, how can you bear to do such a black hand to her old man! ”
Splitting the head and covering the face is a reprimand.
Most of the melon-eating people gathered outside were ordinary people, who had not participated in the Shen family's Xixue banquet, and they didn't know what happened at the Xixue banquet.
Their understanding of Qin Jiuniang also comes from the oral accounts of the Shen family's mother and son.
They only knew that Qin Jiuniang was Shen Chongde's wife, and because they were dissatisfied with Shen Chongde's being too good to the concubine, they moved out in anger.
The mother and son came over this time to invite her back.
As a result, I didn't expect that after coming over, I didn't open the door no matter how much I called it, and finally called the door open, and let Mrs. Shen, the mother-in-law, fall two teeth...... This is really filial piety!
Suddenly, everyone looked at Qin Jiuniang with condemnation, and even those righteous people, with their sleeves rolled up, they were about to come out to accuse Qin Jiuniang.
Qin Jiuniang naturally wouldn't give the other party a chance, and before the other party could speak, she took out a document from her sleeve pocket and opened it, and showed it to Shen Chongde.
"Master Shen, although you don't read much, you must still know this letter of Hugh Fu."
