Chapter 8: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
After the word father-in-law moved out, the atmosphere in the room changed, at least Xu Huairen didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, his eyes turned to his father, wanting to ask for an idea.
Xu Maoshan kept his face calm and didn't speak, that was the last thing he wanted to mention, it was like silver falling into a pit, and no matter how clean it was when it was fished out and rinsed, it would still feel bad.
But Mrs. Zhao seemed to have been poked in a place where she couldn't touch anything, and scolded with a snort, "You little brute, you usually look like a stuffy gourd, you can't make a fart with three sticks, but now you are opening your mouth and grinning?" Where are you sorry for your father-in-law? You didn't give him linen and filial piety? You didn't throw a pot and make a banner for him? Or did you not marry his daughter? ”
One is higher than the other, aggressive, and justifiable.
Playing this with him? Xu Huaiyi is really not afraid, the principle he pursued in the past was not to be blind if he can do it, and there are problems that his fists can't solve? If you're not honest, then you'll be beaten twice.
But now...... He kept in mind his daughter-in-law's advice, as if he had put on a tight spell, since he couldn't win with his fists, he could only outwit him, dragging his daughter-in-law's blessing, in his previous life, he watched a lot of court dramas with swords and swords, and he hadn't seen any means, but at the moment, it was not worth mentioning.
Xu Huaiyi looked at Mrs. Zhao blankly, and asked in a daze, "Isn't that all right?" It's a matter of course, do I still have merit? ”
It's a killer statement.
If Mrs. Zhao continues to scold, she will be stuck in her throat all of a sudden, her choked old face is blue, she will spill again, and at this moment, she can't open her mouth.
Xu was suspicious but continued to slap the faces of these people in the house, "The conditions discussed with my father-in-law at the beginning, in black and white, were written on the paperwork, my father-in-law gave our family fifty taels of silver, and a box of books that could be used for the imperial examination, I joined the Gu family, and the child born in the future was surnamed Gu, and the incense was extended to the Gu family......"
Speaking of this, he deserted, and then remembered that before, he discussed with his daughter-in-law, his daughter's name is Xu Zhao, good guy, does this have to be changed to Gu Zhao in the future?
He frowned in thought, looking embarrassed.
But this expression, in the eyes of others, is crooked.
Wang Suyun was simply frightened, what did the third child want to do?
Xu Huairen also felt inexplicably uneasy, and subconsciously picked up the tea bowl and drank the water that had long been out of temperature.
Xu Maoshan instinctively couldn't let him continue to speak, and said in a deep voice, "Third child, how long has it been since these things?" What's the point of churning it out? Entering the ...... Do you still think you have a long face? ”
finally couldn't hold his breath and spoke, this is the worst one in the family, much more ruthless than Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao is just one of his guns.
Xu Huaiyi laughed at himself, his expression sad, "Dad, you don't have a long face...... Do I still have to choose? ”
When these words came out, the room was eerily quiet.
After all, the matter of getting rich really can't stand the attention, the Xu family's second room has many sons, but it is not poor and can't open the pot, how can he send his son to be a son-in-law?
If you really received the great favor of the Gu family, it would be fine in the name of repaying the kindness, but on the contrary, it was the Gu family's silver and books, and this would be ugly.
Moreover, what is even more ugly is that the five large tiled houses built with the Gu family's silver are pestled at the head of the village, and the books that Xu Huaiyu used to go to school cannot be concealed.
But the Xu family can pretend that nothing happened, and they usually don't mention it, they all pretend to be deaf and dumb, the so-called covering their ears and stealing the bell, but that's it.
At this moment, this fig leaf is opened, who doesn't have a panic on their faces?
After half a ring, Mrs. Zhao took the lead in crying, "God, let's kill me with a thunderbolt, I'm guilty of being a mother, I make my son resentful, who am I doing this for......"
Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi sneered in his heart, he brewed his emotions, and suddenly knelt down at Mrs. Zhao, crying more than her movement in the next second, "Mother, you just kill your son, how dare your son resent you, filial piety comes first, don't say that you sold your son to your father-in-law as a son-in-law, you just sold me as a slave, my son doesn't dare to resent you, my son only hates that he only has one life, and he can't repay your kindness, otherwise, you can sell your son again now, and you will have silver for your fifth brother to study......"
His voice completely suppressed Zhao Pozi's crying, Zhao Pozi's mouth opened wide, her heart was beating in a hurry, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Think that's the end of it?
Xu suspected that he didn't give others time to react, and continued to howl in grief, "Mother, my son regrets it, why didn't you ask your father-in-law for more money in the first place?" If you have a lot of money in your hand, my daughter-in-law will not have no money to grab medicine, and you will force me to sell the dowry, which will be a shame for our family. ”
"You, you ......" Mrs. Zhao covered her chest, breathing rapidly, Xu Honglian next to her hurriedly helped her to follow her breath, turned her head and shouted at Xu Huaiyi, "Third brother, you see the ...... who makes my mother angry"
Xu Huaiyi asked very seriously, "Where am I angry with our mother?" Isn't the filial piety I just expressed enough? I'm willing to be sold by our mother again, it's okay to be a slave, or just sell it to the palace? I heard that the one gave more silver, but I don't know how old I am, do people still want to ......"
Xu Honglian was dumbfounded.
Xu Huairen stomped his feet, pointed at him angrily, and said, "Third child, I think you are crazy, listen to what kind of crazy words you just said?" Why sell yourself as a slave and sell it to the palace, you, you are ......"
If this word spreads, one in the family will be counted as one, and no one will be a human being.
Xu Huaiyi looked dazed and innocent, "Big brother, I'm not crazy, I want to be filial, didn't our mother say that I resent her?" I didn't, when I was asked to be a son-in-law, did I refuse? I'm not obedient, I should do everything? I didn't expect that our mother was still not satisfied, so I thought, maybe I will sell it a few more times and get more money at home, and my mother will be happy, isn't this right? ”
Xu Huairen, "......"
Is his third brother really stupid or ......
Xu Maoshan's heart was beating at this moment, squinting his old eyes and looking at this third son who had never been taken seriously, let alone asked him to take it seriously, with strips of cloth wrapped around his forehead, and faintly stained with blood, his face was thin, his body was thin, and the clothes he wore were patched with several layers, compared with the eldest son wearing a long shirt next to him, he didn't look like a brother, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a master and servant......
But he suddenly had the feeling of looking at outsiders.
Did he lose sight of his eyes before?
Silent and honest are all pretended? This son who is so ashamed of him is actually a ruthless master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger?
