The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 15 Zhang borrows food
After buying the pork, Yue Mingzhu went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings, and only bought salt, sugar, and vinegar.

The seasonings in this era were still very simple, not even soy sauce. There was miso, but we had miso at home, so there was no need to buy it.

The salt is not particularly white, and the sugar is also yellowish, but the vinegar is more fragrant.

The conditions are like this, there is no way to compare with modern technology.

These days, if you are willing to add salt and oil to cooking, it will be very fragrant.

Yue Mingzhu went to the pastry shop and bought two boxes of pastries for her nephews.

After buying, the three of them walked home happily.

The eldest brother originally wanted Yue Mingzhu to ride in the carriage, but Yue Mingzhu felt that there was no rush for time anyway, so she would just stroll back and lose weight.

Just like this, I strolled all the way back to Yueying Village.

When she arrived at the door of her house, she saw Mrs. Zhang angrily walking out of her house. She saw Yue Mingzhu beside her and gave her a sideways look, which was extremely disgusting.

As soon as the eldest brother Yue Mingqiang saw the way Zhang looked at his younger sister, he wanted to go up to Zhang to argue.

What do you mean, if you dare to dislike your little sister so much in front of him, will you still be able to marry her in the future?Just think that there is no one left at home, right?

Yue Mingzhu hurriedly grabbed her eldest brother, who was instantly grabbed and couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Another day when I was shocked by my little sister's strength.

Yue Mingzhu didn't want her eldest brother to have a dispute with Mrs. Zhang because of her. Men should not interfere in matters between women to avoid criticism, not to mention Mrs. Zhang was a widow.

Besides, I still don’t know what happened to Mrs. Zhang. I’ll wait until I ask my mother.

When the three of them entered the room, they saw Mrs. Wang with a sullen face, sitting on a stool without saying a word.

Yue Mingqiang asked cautiously: "Mom, what's going on?"

He spoke softly, for fear that my mother would beat him violently in anger.

"Close the door!" the old lady ordered in a deep voice.

After the door was closed, the old lady couldn't bear it any longer.

"What kind of thing is Mrs. Zhang? She dares to come to me and be arrogant. She obviously came to borrow food, but in fact she asked for it for free. Look at her shamelessness, our family owes her!"

Things have to go back to an hour ago.

At that time, Mrs. Wang was sweeping the yard. When she looked up, she saw Mrs. Zhang's expression as if she was the queen of the country. She looked like the Queen Mother had arrived.

Mrs. Wang immediately said something bad in her heart, there must be nothing good going on when Mrs. Zhang comes.

But because of her daughter, she took a deep breath and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Ah, sister, I haven't seen you for a while. You are such a rare visitor. Come and sit in the room." Old Mrs. Wang said and welcomed her into the room.

He even ordered his daughter-in-law to make some sugar water, which was a treat only for distinguished guests.

Ms. Zhang picked it up and took a sip, feeling sad for a while. It was a pity that her family could hardly eat, but Yue Mingzhu's family still had sugar water to entertain guests.

"Sister-in-law, I don't have anything else to do. I just came here to take a look. We are fellow villagers and our two families are related like this. We should move around more." Mrs. Zhang was hesitant and rambling. If she didn't want to come up, she would just talk. the goal of.

She is a person who cares about face. If she can, she doesn't want to be inferior to others and doesn't want to ask for food. Although she thinks it is right, she is a bit unable to open her mouth to ask Mrs. Wang, whom she despises, to borrow food. .At the same time, he complained crazily about Yue Mingzhu's family.

Knowing that her family was orphaned and widowed, with little income and no food, she didn't know how to take the initiative to send some food to her family, but waited for her to come asking for help in a humble manner.

She has already come to the door, why should she clearly explain what she means? Who will come if nothing happens? There are just a few filthy rich people, no matter what the pretense is. When her son becomes an official in the future, she will not even think about taking advantage of her son's money.

Why did you marry Yue Mingzhu in the first place? Isn't it obvious? What was it for? It was because Tuyue Mingzhu's family was rich. If she didn't care about money, why did she want this fat girl?
She knew everything, but if she had to open her mouth, she really thought that having a few dollars would be a big deal. There were many richer people in the town and even in the county than their family.

It's just that she hasn't decided which family to marry with yet, otherwise she won't even come when Mrs. Wang invites her.

However, seeing Mrs. Wang's attitude, she couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Old sister-in-law, that's what happened. Usually, that girl Mingzhu always runs to my house. Why doesn't she go these days? I'm still talking about her. Don't worry, come and take a look."

Mrs. Zhang still didn't say it directly, she just pulled the moon pearl and poked at Mrs. Wang's heart.

When Mrs. Wang heard what Zhang said about her daughter, she immediately became angry and said in a weird voice: "Zhuzhu is a big girl now. In the past, she was a child with a childish mind and was ignorant. Now that she has become more fresh, she is no longer rare. Children are like that."

Mrs. Zhang felt uncomfortable when she said this. Your daughter is so naughty, but she still doesn't care about my son?

"A few days ago, Mingzhu ran to my house, clamoring to see Pengfei. Today she brings a basket of eggs and tomorrow she brings a bag of rice. Neither of us can eat it."

Zhang's words mean that Yue Mingzhu is upside down.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she stood up immediately.

Ordinarily she shouldn't be so out of control, but her daughter is her darling. When others say this, especially when her future mother-in-law says this about her own daughter, she wants to beat Mrs. Zhang to death immediately.

But she couldn't beat Mrs. Zhang to death. She was her daughter's future mother-in-law, so she had to stay calm for her daughter's sake.

She probably guessed Zhang's reason for coming, either to borrow money or grain, but she refused to give it.

"My daughter is kind-hearted. When she sees beggars on the street, she runs home to get a steamed bun. What's more, with the relationship between our two families, she can't see you orphans and widowed mothers starving to death, isn't it? It's just a throw to the dog. Steamed buns and dogs have to wag their tails. People say that a wolf has a heart and a dog has lungs. Sometimes people are worse than dogs." Mrs. Wang said slowly, focusing on who was more irritating.

"You..." Mrs. Zhang was trembling with anger.

Old Mrs. Wang was relieved and didn't let Mrs. Zhang go: "Sister, let me tell you, my daughter just doesn't like poor people. She used to be afraid that you two would not have enough to eat, so she always gave you things. , but to hear what you mean, sister, you don’t need it at all. Also, who are you from? Why do you need a silly girl like me to meddle in your own business? I’m really causing trouble for you.”

Seeing Mrs. Zhang trembling with anger, she felt relieved and continued, "Don't worry, I will not let Zhuzhu give you another grain of food in the future. Pengfei is a scholar. If people know about it, he will have to rely on the support of his future family. It's like barging in the door upside down, how bad is that?"

Mrs. Wang just wanted to cut off Mr. Zhang's way of borrowing food and money.

I asked you not to speak human words, but to come to Qiu Feng's door and still be so mean, what a shame for a widow.

If you had been kind and nice, I could have lent it to you, but with your ungrateful nature, you didn't even say a word of kindness when I lent it to you. You also belittled my daughter in every way, and even threw it away to feed the dogs.

Mrs. Zhang, you hate me so much, you old lady Wang.

"Okay, okay, your daughter is a treasure, keep it for yourself." After Mrs. Zhang said that, she stormed out the door.

It's not that she doesn't want to say a few harsh words, or simply scold Yue Mingzhu, but she doesn't dare. She's afraid of Mrs. Wang, and it's OK to say a few words in a weird way. She's afraid that she'll say something too harsh, and Mrs. Wang will fight her tooth and nail.

She was angry, so when she met Yue Mingzhu when she went out, she gave Yue Mingzhu a sidelong glance.
