Chapter 73 Let's see
It’s the end of the Chinese New Year, and they buy meat to improve their lives. The two elders in my family don’t move at all. They eat whatever they usually eat, and there is no atmosphere of Chinese New Year.
Forget it, the key is that they bought the good ones and put them away secretly.
In the dead of night, take it out to eat, and don’t let the little ones in the family touch their mouths. Such old people are really chilling to serve them, and they are not afraid of eating at night.
To be honest, even though they are sons, I still curse these two old men in my heart.
The two misers who went to the house didn't know these four sons until now, and they already had a dissatisfaction with them.
When it was dark, no one came out to light the fire and cook, and Yuan Xu, who was angry, cursed and shouted in the upper room.
Old man Yuan slapped the doors and told them to come out and cook.
Brothers of the Yuan family asked their daughters-in-law to cook, and Mrs. Yuan Xu opened the warehouse door with the key and supervised them to take the food.
The resistance started at this moment. The four daughters-in-law pushed the mother-in-law away at once. The eldest daughter-in-law took out several bowls of rice, the second daughter-in-law took a whole piece of meat, the third daughter-in-law took several cabbages, and the fourth daughter-in-law On the other hand, he hugged a few radishes and a piece of bacon.
Yuan Xu howled in anger, and was about to beat them, but she didn't expect the four daughter-in-laws to push her, kick her, one poked her with their buttocks, and the last one hated her even more. She pinched her body hard.
Ms. Yuan Xu ran out of the warehouse in shock, came to the upper room and yelled loudly.
"Old man, they have gone against the sky. They took so many things and didn't say anything, but they still beat me."
Old man Yuan puffed his pipe and walked out of the house, "Are you trying to rebel?"
I thought that when he spoke, the daughters-in-law would freak out and be obedient, but I didn't expect them to still be doing what they were doing in the kitchen.
The four sons came out of the house and looked at old man Yuan together. Those cold eyes could freeze old man Yuan to death.
His heart twitched involuntarily, and his tone slowed down a lot.
"You want to rebel too?"
"Dad, it's Chinese New Year, let everyone have a full meal?"
"Only by being diligent and thrifty in managing the family can we accumulate wealth, do you understand?"
"Then what is it that you and your mother secretly eat meat at night?"
"you!"
"If you can live together, let's live together. If you can't, let's separate. If you and my mother feel that you are capable, you don't have to live with us. In the future, we will earn money to support our own family. The money for the child to be a girl in a rich family should be We will collect it as parents, so you don’t have to go, and besides, I hope dad can return the money we earned before.”
"What, you, you want to separate?"
"Otherwise? You took the fifth child away, and now you come to grind us, and sold our children, but our parents are not full. You buy meat and eat it secretly?"
"We are old people."
"Then look like an old man, don't worry about it anymore, we also want to live a good life and eat meat."
Old man Yuan raised his pipe and wanted to do something. Seeing the four brothers walking forward together a few steps, if he dared to hit someone, they went up and beat him together.
He was scared, and Yuan Xushi froze in the room. What's going on?
Why all of a sudden, the sons don’t listen to them? The daughter-in-law doesn't treat them as old people anymore?
"You don't listen to your parents, do you want to be unfilial?"
"Don't use this trick to tie us down again. If you want to sue us, you can go to the Yamen to sue, but let's go through the mayor first. Who doesn't know what virtue you have?"
"What virtue do we have?"
"A pair of misers, who can sell their sons and granddaughters for money, you are a pair of demons who drink their blood and eat their flesh."
Old man Yuan and Mrs. Yuan Xu didn't expect their sons to say this about themselves, and just wanted to yell at them. Seeing how their sons behaved, as long as they dared to scold and do something, they would fight with them.
The two of them hadn't worked all year round, so they were no match for their sons. They pointed at their sons with trembling hands.
"You are doing well, let's see."
Seeing the two old men go back to the house, the brothers looked at each other, they won, the resistance was useful, and they can have a full meal tonight.
Tian’s dinner is a pot of thin brown rice porridge, dry food is stick noodles, and a large pot of fried cabbage is placed in the middle.
Tian Yaozu had already returned home from vacation, and seeing the food on the table, he had no appetite at all, so he got up and left.
Seeing that his eldest grandson hadn't eaten, Mrs. Li Tian took the key to the warehouse to take out a few eggs, scrambled a bowl of eggs for Tian Yaozu, and sent them over.
"Yao Zu, eat it, you still need to study, how can you succeed if you don't eat some."
"Thank you grandma, why don't you sit here and have some food?"
"No, you can eat, grandma, go eat with them."
The Tian family not only treats Qiao Mai and their daughter-in-law badly, but also knows to treat their own children well, which is much better than the Yuan family.
In the Qiao family in Lihua Village, Qiao Shicheng can already walk around. Ever since he knew that Qiao Mai was recruiting a son-in-law, he has been making a face all the time.
A few days ago, I sent my granddaughter to Qiao Mai to beg for something, but she didn’t come back. They thought the child was left in the town to eat and drink spicy food.
Who would have thought that that was not the case at all. After Qiao Jiang left, Qiao Mai admitted it, but said that he was not with her.
It was only later that he asked about his granddaughter at Yaxing, and sold himself to the county seat. Qiao Jiang chased them to the county seat, but unexpectedly, his granddaughter didn't recognize them at all.
She cleverly saved up the money from selling herself, and never gave the Qiao family a chance to **** her blood.
Qiao Jiang received a lot of scolding after returning home, saying that all the daughters are money-losing goods, and Qiao Jiang Qiaohe simply sold all the daughters to rich people to celebrate the new year.
Don’t keep them anymore, I’m afraid everyone will follow suit.
The granddaughters were so frightened that they burst into tears, and Qiao Shicheng threw away his chopsticks and didn't even eat dinner.
These three families have been in a bad mood because of scheming people and being schemed. I am afraid that this year will not be a good one.
Not only these three families are not good, but the Chen family is not good either.
Ever since she came back from eating stewed pork ribs at Qiao's house that day, she was in a very uneasy mood. She was afraid that once Qiao Mai found out that she liked Yuan's family, her child would not be able to go to free school, let alone her family's glory.
So he asked Chen Hao to go and play with Fengyun and the three of them.
When the Yuan family opened the door, they sent Chen Hao home, not even letting the child in, which made her feel even more frightened.
Even went to look for it personally, but Yuan Jiaqi didn't say anything else.
"Sister Chen, it's the Chinese New Year. I'll give the child a holiday. Come over after the fifteenth day. My family is busy during this period, so I can't take care of Chen Hao."
"My Haoer can also help look after Linger."
"It's really unnecessary, he's here, my wife and I have to worry about him, it's okay to come back when we're free, don't come these few days."
Mr. Chen could only smile awkwardly, and reluctantly turned around and went back.
Yuan Jiaqi glanced at her back, and sighed in his heart, although the adults are not very good, but the children are innocent.
Qiao Mai was busy in the kitchen, when he heard the words and answers from the courtyard gate, he immediately laughed until his eyes popped up.
She only prepared for the new year's goods from shopkeeper Lu and the mayor's house. She didn't prepare for Chen's at all. Since Chen's came over with some jujubes on August 15th, almost every time she came, she came empty-handed.
Although she didn't mind, it made her classify Chen as an ordinary friend.
As for Mrs. Chen, she felt very uncomfortable seeing Yuan's family offering New Year's gifts. She also wanted to receive Qiao Mai's New Year's gift.
It's a pity, Qiao Mai didn't take her part at all.
Now even the children are not allowed to enter the house. When Chen returned home, he was so angry that he wanted to throw things, but he was reluctant to take anything, so he just hugged a pillow and cried.
