The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

Chapter 65: Chen is disliked by the whole family

Bai You's wife looked at Yan Ba'er's children beside her, distressed but helpless, so she could only discuss it with her husband in a low voice.

Bai You used to be the magistrate of a state. He was reported for corruption and bribery, and his family ended up in exile. Only he knew the details, and the emperor who ordered him to be exiled knew best.

Zeng Yu Zhengqing had met him once, but with Yu Zhengqing's status, Bai You at that time naturally had no chance to talk to him.

And now that everyone has been reduced to this together, Bai You, like everyone else, is really curious. Everyone is obviously exiled together, why did the Yu family bring so many supplies with them?
They were exiled here from their hometown, all they ate were black-faced steamed buns, smelling the aroma of porridge wafting from the pot of the Yu family, each of the "nobles" who were once pampered couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Senior An, why do you still have these belongings?"

"It was done half way."

"Huh? This...can it still be like this?"

Yu Zhengqing had nothing to say and nodded perfunctorily.

Seeing that Yu Zhengqing didn't respond to what he wanted, Bai You's face was hot. No matter what, he was once a scholar, and the skin of a literati is already thin.

Looking back at the distance, still looking at his wife expectantly, Bai You shamelessly continued to get closer to Yu Zhengqing.

"Shizi An, I want to... I want to talk to you. You can borrow this pot from your house and make some hot rice."

"Don't borrow!"

Before Bai You opened his mouth, his cheeks were already burning hot, but before he could say the words smoothly, Chen's face on the side was stern, and he yelled and refused!
Chen's voice made Bai You jump in fright, and even Yu Zhengqing, who was sitting cross-legged to rest, was also startled, and looked back dissatisfiedly at his mother.

Seeing this from Yu Zhengqing, Chen's expression softened a little, "It's not that we are cruel, our family only has two pots, and I will lend them to you. What if you break them? In the wilderness, you will not be able to buy these things. "

Hearing this, the thin-skinned Bai You had no choice but to stand up in embarrassment and leave sadly.

"Hey, we've run out. If you want to use it, just take it."

A sudden voice sounded not far behind him. Bai You stiffened and looked back in surprise, with a rare smile of joy on his face.

Yu Qiang stood up, poured the black noodle steamed bun soup that had just been made in the iron pot into the earthen pot, and handed the iron pot to Bai You.

Seeing the iron pot offered to him, Bai You's eyes filled with gratitude, he hurriedly took it with both hands, and bowed at ninety degrees to Yu Qiang.

"Thank you, thank you! We will take good care of your pot and send it back to you when it's used up."

Yu Qiang waved his hand indifferently, "We are all in trouble. It is very possible that there will be no tomorrow but today. In such a cold day, if you can eat something warm, try to eat something warm. Take it back quickly. It would be good for your family to get some hot water to drink."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

Bai You took the iron pot and returned to his family excitedly. Seeing the joy of their family, Yu Qiang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a gratified smile.

"Oh, does this mean that you are more generous than me?"

Mrs. Chen's strange voice broke the rare tranquility and warmth. The smile on Yu Qiang's face slowly faded, and he glanced at the sarcastic Mrs. Chen, turned around and took the hand from his daughter-in-law. With the wooden bowl in hand, I went to eat.

Chen, who was ignored, snorted in displeasure, turned around and looked at Lan and Yu Meiyao who were cooking, and lost her temper.

"Stupid as a pig, everyone has already eaten, you two, can you hurry up?! I want to starve to death!"

"Okay mom, it'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon!"

Lan Shi, who was cooking, was so smoky that she couldn't keep her eyes open, tears came out, and Chen Shi's curse sound came from next to her ears, she was so scared that she hurriedly responded obediently.

"Stop resting, both of you, and go back to gather more firewood. I don't know what will happen tonight. With just this little firewood, I'll wake up from the cold in the middle of the night."

After scolding Lan Shi, Chen turned her head to look at Chang Huilan and Yu Yingying who were resting, and reprimanded her in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yu Yingying immediately blushed. This day's journey was more tiring than any other day before. She wished she could just close her eyes, stop eating, and just sleep. Her grandmother came again .

"No, I don't want to move anymore! Grandma, let me rest."

"Why rest? Your eldest brother, second brother and your father are the ones who are working the hardest. You and your mother didn't even carry a basket on your back on the road. What's the point of resting? If you don't collect firewood, you'll be waiting to be picked up by others. Will we freeze to death at night?”

"I'll freeze to death. I can't move anyway!"

Yu Yingying also lost her temper. These days, she found out that her grandmother is even more annoying than when she was in the Hou's mansion!
Every day, I only know how to rely on one mouth to arrange everything for them. I know that I have never suffered, but when I am resting, I let myself do this and that!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Yu Yingying became!
This anger caused her to completely lose her previous obedience to Mrs. Chen. She immediately broke the jar and threw it away, not bothering Mrs. Chen at all!

"Hey, look, look, Mrs. Chang is your good daughter. Now that the Hou Mansion is gone, she can ignore me as a grandmother!"

Chang Huilan was speechless for a while when her name was called.

The daughter is not hers alone, so why is she only caught preaching, not her son?His son was still next to hers, why didn't she dare to say a word about him?

Hehe, I don’t have any eyesight at all. When did it happen?He only cares about showing off his mother-in-law's prestige, and he really gives her face.

Although she was a hundred unhappy, and even cursed at Chen Shi a thousand times in her heart, Chang Huilan's face was still as gentle as before.

"Mother, it's my fault, it's my daughter-in-law who didn't discipline her well..."

"Okay, stop arguing! What's the big deal? Grandma, you too. Yingying took more whips than anyone else today. You should also feel sorry for her. According to my grandson, among the whole family, you are the only one. It’s the most leisurely time. If you have some free time, it’s a good thing to pick up some firewood and help everyone relax.”

Already upset, Mrs. Chen was still here to discipline people. Yu Zhengqing's eldest son, Yu Xiaoran, suddenly couldn't listen anymore and scolded, directly interrupting his mother's apology.

Hearing Yu Xiaoran's words, Lan's mother and daughter continued to cook in silence, but their hearts were filled with joy!

They have long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Chen's self-centered attitude. Now even her most precious grandson is allowed to work for her, which is a great pleasure!
