Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 100 Zhang's sister-in-law
This woman is wearing a water-red top, a light-yellow trousers, and a water-green cotton skirt underneath. She is really enchantingly dressed, Su Ho sighed in her heart.The slightly upturned corners of the eyes are somewhat unusually charming. Even now that the meal is almost gone, Su Ho still sees this daughter-in-law of the Zhang family with red rouge on her lips. To other people, it looks a little wider, and the whole person does not look like the simplicity of ordinary farmers.

When Mrs. Zhou heard her daughter-in-law's sudden words, she looked a little annoyed. Su He and Mrs. Wang lowered their heads slightly to hide the embarrassment on their faces. Anyway, they are all outsiders, so let them hear what they said. , is not very comfortable!

Sensing the emotions of Su He and the others, the old man of the Zhang family coughed and said, "Boss wife, what's the matter, is my daughter short of your food or your drink, so I don't want to see you?"

The old man of the Zhang family is already in his fifties. He looks energetic, his eyes are piercing, and his brows have the majesty of the head of the family.It seemed that the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was still a little afraid of her father-in-law. She hugged the child in her arms tightly, mouthed, but said nothing, but her eyes were very unhappy.

She felt that what she said was not wrong. What happened to my sister-in-law who got married? Isn't she the daughter of the Zhang family?Now that my mother's family is in trouble, shouldn't I subsidize it a little bit? If I say a few words, my father-in-law will be upset... The eyes glanced at the light in the room with a hint of sinisterness.

Seeing the interaction of Zhang family's family, Su Ho felt a little uncomfortable. She thought for a while, stood up and said, "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, you sit down, I'll go and help my sister-in-law..." She had a decent look on her face. Seeing Zhang's family members nodding, Su Ho turned around slowly, and the corners of her skirt drew a nice arc in mid-air.

The atmosphere in the yard was a bit awkward for a while, but fortunately, Zhu Dahan's mother was eloquent, and after a while, the atmosphere in the yard became active.

When Su Ho entered the room, Mrs. Zhu bent over and was washing the bacon on the stove. There were green onions, ginger, garlic, and some seasonings on the stove.A large stone-cut water tank was placed in a corner of the room, and the water pipes on the bamboo frame were rushing with mountain spring water. Apart from the sound of rushing water, the only sound in the room was the sound of Mrs. Zhu vigorously rinsing the bacon.

Su Ho stepped forward, just in time to see Mrs. Zhu wiping her face with her dirty hands.

Mrs. Zhu heard the voice, looked back, and said with a smile: "Sister, didn't I ask you to rest in the yard? Why did you come in?"

Su Ho looked at the smile on Mrs. Zhu's face, and felt that her smile was not as cheerful and cheerful as before. The corners of her mouth were wide open, but no matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of bitterness.

Su Ho pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "I can't sit still, let's see what can help you... Sister-in-law, what else can you do? You can just say, you can't let me, who is here to help, sit and play." !” Talking in his mouth, he sat on the stool in the room, picked up the potatoes in the pot in his hand, and started to peel them.

"Sister-in-law!" Su Ho exclaimed, "I see that there is a lot of bacon at home. Why does Brother Zhu still go to the town to sell meat?"

Su Ho was really puzzled. She had been in Tieshuibu for a while, and she knew the villagers here very well. Generally speaking, if there was bacon at home, she would seldom sell fresh meat to eat.Moreover, Su Ho knew that the life of the Zhu family was not very affluent.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "My sister-in-law doesn't like bacon very much, so I asked Dahan to buy some fresh meat so that she won't make a fuss again..." Her tone was light, and her happiness and anger could not be heard.

Su Ho shook his head, changed the subject, the two talked and laughed, the time passed quickly, during which Zhu Dahan brought in the pork he bought, and then went out again.

Zhu Dahan's father left a few years ago, and Zhu Dahan is now in the filial piety period. According to the rules, he can't eat and drink big fish and meat, but now Mrs. Zhu's parents are here, so let's entertain him. Of course, vegetarian dishes are still available. Mostly.

A total of eight dishes, fried bacon with hot pepper, fried shredded pork with sauerkraut, a shredded potato, a fried cabbage, and a scrambled egg with leeks, shredded bamboo shoots with garlic, tiger skin hot pepper, and a tomato tofu soup. There are many, but the color and fragrance are also complete.

The Zhang family includes Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhang, the eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Jizhong, the second son, Zhang Xingzhong, the youngest son, Zhang Wenzhong, the eldest daughter-in-law, Wen Shi, who is the woman holding the child, and the second daughter-in-law, Jin Shi. There is a four or five-year-old grandson Zhang Chaotian, eight people, plus Zhu Dahan, Zhu Dasister, Zhu Dahan's mother Zhao, bitter melon, leek, Su He and Wang, a total of fifteen people sat down at two tables up.

The food just came to the table, when we heard Wen's yelling: "Why are there only so many dishes, we won't be able to starve to death, I said, little sister, do you still think we are your natal family?"

"Shut up for me!" Mr. Zhang slapped the table and shouted, "If you like to eat or not, if you don't eat, get out of here!"

"Father!" Wen's didn't know what was wrong, she was no longer afraid of Mr. Zhang, and continued to say with her face raised high, "Look, look, except for these two dishes , which dish is for people to eat, huh? We came all the way here just for these two dishes? Not to mention that parents worked so hard to bring her up, even ordinary relatives should not be treated like this when they come here? Taohua, tell me, do you still see our natal family in your eyes?"

Su Ho frowned, feeling very speechless in his heart, man, can you be so shameless?

Mrs. Zhu's face was a little pale, but she still said: "Sister-in-law, my father-in-law just passed away, and the family is still keeping his filial piety. It's really..." The latter words were not spoken, but everyone knew what they meant.

"So what, it's just a dead person..." Wen's voice was stubborn, and he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, a thick voice shouted: "Wen's, shut up!"

The voice was thick and loud, yelling at people, making people feel very frightened. The children in the room were so frightened that they were silent and did not dare to look at the man. Su Ho tightened the leek into his arms, feeling a little displeased He raised his head, his son, he was reluctant to yell at him, but he was yelled at here.

At first glance, it was Zhang Jizhong, the eldest son of the Zhang family. Su Ho hadn't heard him speak since he entered the door, but now he was displaying his majesty as a husband. Wen wanted to say something, but Zhang Jizhong raised his hammer-like fist , his complexion was very ugly.

Wen's looked at her husband, fear and embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare not listen. Due to her status, her father-in-law couldn't do anything to her, but if her husband wanted to beat her, he would have no scruples at all.

In the end, everyone didn't enjoy the meal very much. After eating, Su Ho and Mrs. Wang took the leeks and left.Before leaving, Aunt Zhu sent them out of the village with apologies.

After thanking Aunt Zhu, Su He and Wang each held the hand of Leek and walked slowly towards the house.

"Mother, isn't sister-in-law Zhu a child of the Zhang family?" Su Ho said suddenly.

Mrs. Wang was stunned, and asked, "How do you know?" It was no different from affirming Su Ho's conjecture.

Su He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang told me? Mother, why did sister-in-law Zhu marry into our village? Judging by their family, it doesn't look like they have no money!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang sighed, and said: "Isn't it because your sister-in-law Zhu is not the daughter of the Zhang family? You have also seen, your sister-in-law Zhu's temperament and appearance. If you want to find someone with the right family Isn't it easy? At the beginning, your Uncle Zhang had three sons, and Aunt Zhang wanted a daughter. After years of begging, she still couldn't get it. Your sister-in-law Zhu was picked up by them, and the family loved her very much. But since the Wen family entered the door, they pretended to be false and framed in every possible way, which finally made your sister-in-law Zhu and the Zhang family divorced, and Wen family used tricks to marry into the mountain... What a crime..."

"Mother, I guess...the Wen family probably has a good family background, right?"

"Isn't it? I heard from your sister-in-law that Wen's natal family is a bit of a big deal. The Zhang family lives in Qi County outside. Wen's natal family is the largest grain merchant in Qi County, and the Zhang family's family background is quite good. , but how can it compare to the Wen family? Because of this relationship, the Wen family has been bullying your sister-in-law Zhu since she married the Zhang family, and your sister-in-law Zhu naturally didn’t say anything in order not to hurt the Zhang family. They were all deceived by Wen's..."

"But, mother, according to what you said, Wen shouldn't marry Brother Zhu!" Seeing that the leek was sweating profusely, Su Ho bent down, picked up the leek, and wiped the sweat from the leek's forehead. After wiping it off, he put his hand into the back of the leek and touched it. He didn't sweat much, so he was relieved.

"I don't know what's going on..." Mrs. Wang said, "However, Aunt Zhang is willing to marry her so far away. I'm afraid your sister-in-law Zhu's reputation in Qi County is not good..."

Mrs. Wang's guess was not bad. When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, Mrs. Wen, first married into the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhu didn't want to have too much contact with this sister-in-law, so she avoided her far away when she saw her, but Wen thought it was Zhang Taohua who looked down on her, so she hated Zhang Taohua inexplicably in her heart, and slowly spoke bad things about Zhang Taohua in front of the Zhang family elders.

At the beginning, the two elders of the Zhang family didn't believe Wen's words. After all, Zhang Taohua was raised by the two elders since childhood. , and rarely appeared in front of the two elders of the Zhang family. As time passed, the two elders of the Zhang family became skeptical.

And that Wen family is also very ruthless, unable to attack for a long time, she simply asked someone to spread rumors outside to ruin Zhang Taohua's reputation, and even found someone to take Zhang Taohua's handkerchief, saying that she had a private relationship with that man, This made Zhang's elders furious, and he was unwilling to marry Zhang Taohua into that man's family, so he simply married her into the mountains far away.

Afterwards, they regretted it, but unfortunately, it was too late.
