Chapter 13: Becoming an Old Lady Thirteenth Day
Facing the eyes of her two sons together, the old lady was calm:
"When your father was alive, he hoped that Guangqing would be able to succeed in his studies, and now that he has been admitted to Xiucai, your father has also got what he wanted. Let's go to your father's grave together and tell him the good news. ”
The old lady didn't pay attention to Boss Hu's discomfort at all, and all she was talking about was Hu Guangqing's competitiveness. Boss Hu was not angry, but he was even more angry when he heard this.
He slammed the table and stood up, and roared at the old lady:
"Mother! Are you still my mother? ”
He has never suffered this kind of grievance, could it be that a talented grandson can really compare to a talented son? What's so great about fifteen-year-old Xiucaigong? He hasn't been hovering around Xiucai for a full twenty years!
Boss Hu's face was flushed, and the remaining eyes were scarlet, and he stared at the old lady, bound to ask for an explanation.
The scene was suddenly deadlocked, the Hu family looked different, and the old lady was still calm.
She straightened the corners of her clothes and said nonchalantly:
"I'm not your mother."
Boss Hu: "......"
It's like a punch on cotton, and the breath in my heart can't go up or down. Thinking that he was no longer the only talent in the Hu family, Boss Hu was suddenly deflated and sat back with his ass.
"Mother can't hope that her son will be good!" The right fist hit the left palm, and Boss Hu was so aggrieved that he couldn't do it.
Old lady: "......" these days, to be honest, no one believes it?
The old lady was unmoved, and persistently asked:
"How much did the Qian family give?"
Anyway, it's not a hundred taels, it's not two hundred taels.
Boss Hu was silent, and the old lady turned her gaze to Boss Hu.
"Second child, you say."
This is said to be the most shrewd person in the Hu family, and he is smiling at the old lady at the moment, no matter what else he looks like.
Hu Laoer, who was named, paused slightly, with helplessness on his face, as if he was inadvertently reminded:
"Didn't my mother say...... One thousand taels? ”
The old lady said this amount in public, and Cong had already told him. Moreover, the old lady also said that it was he who said it.
Hu Lao Er wanted to ask the old lady about her sin, but Hu Lao Boss couldn't sit still.
"One thousand taels!" He slammed the table and stood up, blew his beard and glared, accidentally pulling the muscles on his face, and sat back in pain.
"Where did you get a thousand taels, you don't have a thousand taels after selling me!"
Not really.
"Well, I believe in big brother." Hu Lao Er had a forward-looking posture of only Hu Boss, and his proper follower did not win the same trust of Hu Boss.
Others don't know Hu Laoer, doesn't he understand?
"Second brother, you don't pretend to be a good person here! Didn't I share your money, you talked nonsense with your mother, don't you want to be good? ”
Boss Hu is even more angry when he talks about it, a few brothers, he is the best for Hu Laoer. At the critical moment, Hu Lao Er sold him completely. Now pretending to be a good man in front of him, he is really blind!
Hu Lao Er didn't admit this.
"Big brother, I just came back when you made a fuss, where are you talking nonsense."
Hu Lao Er smiled and smiled, wanting to throw the dirty pot on him, and his temper came as soon as he said it.
Boss Hu's eyes fell on Cong's body, Hu Lao Er didn't say it, wouldn't Cong say it? As soon as he glanced at it, he was blocked by Hu Lao Er, and said righteously:
"Don't involve women in men's affairs."
Okay, don't involve the woman, involve him, okay!
Boss Hu's face was so painful that everyone was intact to see if he was the only one...... Only him!
Why!
In a fit of anger, Boss Hu's slap slapped Boss Hu's face. Hu Lao Er is not such an unprepared person, as early as when Hu Lao Boss was in trouble, he was always on guard against Hu Lao Da's counterattack.
At the moment when Hu Lao Da slapped him, Hu Lao Er quickly grabbed his wrist. Boss Hu couldn't swing his slap, and he felt even more embarrassed, and in anger, his fists and feet were added, and the brothers were in a ball.
Hu Laosan and Hu Laosi were stunned for a moment before they reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and others also persuaded them. The yard was in a mess, and the old lady sat like a clock, watching coldly.
Hu Laosan and Hu Laosi hugged one by one and reluctantly separated the two.
"Hu Shanju, you hypocrite! One set in front of the face and one behind the other. I'm blind, I think you're a brother, I'll give you a small stove, I'll help you be an accountant, so you don't have to do muddy work, and that's how you repay me! ”
Hu Lao was angry, and all kinds of curses were scolded, scolding the second child's face was red, and the third and fourth children looked at each other.
It turns out that in the eldest brother's heart, they are "mud legs". We are all brothers, who is more noble than whom?
Hu Laoer's hairband was pulled open by Hu Laoda, and his cloak was panting, and he was embarrassed. He can be regarded as serving Boss Hu, but he can't do the exam, and his brain can't do it. If he didn't occupy the status of the boss, why could he go to school?
Boss Hu is crazy, he can't go crazy with him. I wanted to ask the old lady for coming, but I was interrupted by Boss Hu, but he ignored him.
This is not possible!
"Mother, where did you hear that the bride price is 1,000 taels?"
Hu Lao Er asked patiently. Boss Hu also looked over, if it weren't for the second child's tricks behind his back, he would have seen which Wang Balamb dared to play behind his back!
The old lady who stayed out of the matter once again became the focus of everyone, and her old man's eyes were raised, very innocent:
"I guess."
"Guess ......" Hu Lao Er lost his temper directly, and Hu Lao Er was speechless.
Guess, can you guess this kind of thing?
The brothers had a falling out, and the result was ...... Guess?
The old lady has something to say:
"Your eldest brother said that an official is short of 1,000 taels, I guess if it weren't for the high bride price given by the Qian family, he wouldn't be so biased."
Hu Laoer's face immediately turned wrong, staring at Hu Lao's yin and yang weirdness:
"Big brother, there is a shortage of one thousand taels, you are really powerful."
He waved away Hu Laosan's block and gave Hu Laosan a thumbs up.
Boss Hu's face was also wrong, Hu Lao Er knew about the lack of officials, and naturally he also knew how much silver was needed. Boss Hu said a thousand taels, which was to trap the old lady for his own money, but in fact, he didn't need so much at all. I didn't think that the old lady would expose him in public and make him shameless.
This was not enough, and the old lady continued:
"When I said one thousand taels, the Qian family didn't deny it."
This is silver for the Qian family, and it is strange that the Qian family can deny it!
"Not a thousand taels." Knowing that it was the old lady who was talking nonsense, Boss Hu was a little more relieved, but he asked him to take out a thousand taels of silver, no!
"How many are there?" The old lady then asked, and Boss Hu said casually:
"Five hundred...... I...... Mother! Then he reacted and looked at the old lady with a frightened face.
It's over, it's over, and he tells the truth.
The word "five hundred" was clearly heard by those present. Hu Laosan was furious, and the Qian family's bride price gave five hundred taels of silver! But the eldest brother said to him a hundred taels.
It's all brothers, how can he be like this!
Hu Laosan clenched his hands into fists, and at this moment he really wanted to go up and give Hu Laoda two punches. The concept of respect and inferiority he had cultivated since childhood prevented him from doing such a thing, and with nowhere to vent, he rushed to the grapefruit tree in the yard and slammed the trunk. The leaves made a "whoosh" sound, and the green grapefruit "bang" to the ground.
Boss Hu shrank beside the old lady, the third child's appearance was too scary, but fortunately it didn't hit him.
