Yoshida Mii

Chapter 73
"Ah?!" Li Shi's face turned pale, and she was speechless for a while.

Probably because of lack of confidence, Huang's tone was exceptionally "kind". Seeing Li's silence, Huang felt a little annoyed, and raised her voice and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you pack up and go home!" "

"Grandma, you're sleepy! This is my home, we're not going anywhere!" Dong Bao finally realized that she had thought about all kinds of situations where the Song family came to make trouble, maybe they came to ask for money, maybe they came to ask for food... ...I just never thought that Mrs. Huang would call them home as if she had lost her memory.

Li Hongqin came out of the kitchen when she heard voices in the courtyard, holding a sharpened kitchen knife in her hand, "Hey, auntie is here, what's the matter?" in the eyes.

When Huang saw Li Hongqin, she became angry, but she didn't dare to provoke Li Hongqin too much. Huang was very afraid of this kind of ruthless woman who could go all out.

Looking around, Mrs. Huang was very annoyed. The only thing she could handle was a soft bun from Mrs. Li, "Boss, daughter-in-law, have you recovered from your illness? Come home with me when you're done."

"Mother, what... are you doing when you go back?" Shi Li asked.

Huang Shiqiang suppressed the urge to jump up and scold Li Shi, looked at Li Shi and said: "This division... the division was too hasty at the beginning. I went back and thought about it for a few days. It can't be divided like this. How can you orphans and widows? Independent business? We still have to live together as a family, hurry up, pack up and go back."

Li's face was pale, rubbing his fingers at the front of his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Mother, the family separation papers have been written, and the black and white letters have passed through the Yamen."

Song Yu hid at the door and looked inside. Hearing what Li said, he hurried in with his hands behind his back, pointed at Li and said, "Sister-in-law, you are wrong! The separation papers are nothing, no matter how powerful they are." Bigger than our family’s blood relatives? My mother told you to go home, and you told me, did you answer? Hey, why are you still hesitating? You weren’t like this when your elder brother was here!”

"Second uncle." Dong Bao said with a smile, "Since my grandma has spoken, we must go home. However, there is a condition."

Song Yu felt numb when he saw Dong Bao's smiling face, and asked, "What conditions?"

"Second uncle, manly man, one spittle and one spittle, it was you and my grandma who were arguing to separate the family, my grandma is the elder, let's not talk about it, as long as you lick back the spittle that spewed out, My mother and I have never separated from this family!" Dong Bao smiled, but his tone was cool.

Are you kidding me, they have separated, and each of these people still think of themselves as slave owners of the ruling class?

"You! You..." Song Yu was furious and was about to slap Dong Bao's face, but Lin Shi grabbed him and pushed him back. Song Yu staggered a few steps before standing up. Steady body.

Lin Shi said with a straight face: "Second Uncle Song, do you think this is your home? If you dare to hit someone again, don't blame me for not treating you as an elder!"

Seeing that her son suffered a loss, Mrs. Huang couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Lin Shi and cursed: "You, a junior, are the ones to speak up about our old Song's family? Boss daughter-in-law, you have no conscience! Uncle, are you worthy of my poor eldest son?"

"Brother Da Shi is not an outsider." Dong Bao smiled, took Lin Shi's hand, and cheered Lin Shi up. Mrs. Huang can scold anyone, but Lin Shi cannot be scolded.After listening to Huang's scolding for several months now, she feels that she is numb, and only these few words are repeated over and over again. The most cruel and ugly thing is to greet her ancestors for cursing. It is really nothing new, and it is a joke. Coupled with Huang's frothy expression, it is also quite joyful.

In short, as long as she doesn't take Huang Shi seriously, she has no fighting power.

Li Hongqin couldn't stand it anymore, and angrily raised a kitchen knife and cursed loudly: "Who has no conscience? Who is shameless? You old bastard, try calling out again! Believe it or not, I hacked you to death with a knife, and saved my sister from being a scourge of you! At worst, my life is for life!"

Frightened, Mrs. Huang took two steps back and hid behind Song Yu. Fearful and annoyed, she yelled at Mrs. Li, "Boss daughter-in-law, you just watch your sister hack me to death, you have no conscience!"

"Okay, okay! Don't argue at noon." Dong Bao was a little annoyed, "Go back quickly, baby, the paperwork for the separation of the family has already passed the Yamen, it's useless if you continue to argue, you have to force me to follow My mother went to the yamen to beat the drums and appeal for grievances, and asked the county magistrate to comment? The official servant who takes people with chains and splints is not as good-tempered as my mother."

"You dare?!" Huang yelled aggressively, "Your third uncle knows the people in the yamen very well! If you want to take it, you and your mother are the two conscience-stricken people!"

"Grandma Song, I heard that my third uncle is going to be a scholar this year." Lin Shi said with a smile, "If someone sues your family at this meeting, the reputation of the Song family will be bad, and the official will erase the third uncle's exam. qualifications."

"That's right, Third Uncle thinks I'm living for nothing, so he wants to sell me for him to study!" Dong Bao took the opportunity to say. "He told me everything. He said that I was living for nothing, and how much a girl in the town can sell! You have to talk to the official about these things."

Lin Shi frowned and said, "That's because there is a lack of virtue. Not only did he sell his niece by force, but he also seized the property of the widow's sister-in-law. You don't need to go through the magistrate, but you can report to the county magistrate to disqualify him from the final exam."

Huang's heart suddenly turned cold. Although she has no education, she also knows that if she wants to be an official, she must have a clean fortune and a good reputation.Besides, Lin Shi had studied in a private school for a year, so he was quite educated in the village, and he spoke clearly and logically, which seemed to be the case.

"Sister-in-law, why do you think you can't even start a family? Just let Dongbao, a girl, collude with an outsider to bully her grandma and second uncle, and spread the word to make people think of you? You're going to sue before this happens." Her third uncle has gone, and her tone is really loud! Sister-in-law, why don’t you hurry up and make amends to your mother. Our mother sees that you orphans and widows are too lonely and can’t stand up. These days, our mother has been talking about you two every day! You Let's see how you two do things? You don't give to my mother the tofu you give to the Lotus Bridge, so you're telling people to gossip about you!" Song Yu pretended to smooth things over.

Dong Bao twitched the corners of her mouth. She believed that Mrs. Huang was talking about the two of them every day, either because Mrs. Li was missing and there was no one to work, or because Mrs. Huang hadn't sold her for money earlier.Song Yu talked about giving away tofu again. He didn't expect him to know so soon, so what if he was jealous, she just didn't want to give it away, and wanted to eat it?Yes, let's buy it with money!
Mrs. Li wiped the red corners of her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I'm just a useless person, I can't afford to be in charge. Dong Bao is smarter than me, whoever is smarter will be in charge, and my daughter won't cheat on me." .”

"Second Uncle, take my grandma back quickly. If you continue to quarrel, I will go to the villagers to judge and ask them if my mother and I should go back. Grandma, Third Uncle's studies are important." The last sentence, Dong Bao accentuated his tone.

She still remembers that when she was very young, a teacher at school just had a few quarrels at home. The teacher's brother and sister-in-law went to the school to make a scene and yelled at the door. Although it was not all the teacher's fault, from then on that teacher His reputation was rotten and he was forced to leave the school.

Ancient times should be more conservative than that time. If she went all out to practice her voice at the gate of Wenfeng Academy, it is estimated that Song Bai's fate would be more "spectacular".

"That's right! Auntie, go back quickly, our food is poor, don't delay Auntie's lunch!" Li Hongqin laughed loudly.

After coming out of Dongbao's house, Huang's lungs were about to explode, and he was panting for breath, walking quickly all the way.She thought she had the ability to take care of her eldest daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Li, who had always dared not fart, would dare not listen to her and make her lose face in front of the younger generation.

"When I win the third prize, I'll ask them...to kowtow to me in front of the whole village!" Huang said through gritted teeth.

Song Yu who was following on the side asked cautiously: "Mom, you know what's going on in our family. Da Mao is going to have a kiss in two years... If the third child doesn't win this year, can he still read it?"

"Read it! Why don't you read it?" Mrs. Huang said firmly, "You haven't read the book and don't understand it. Scholars are so easy to take the exam? Didn't your elder brother take the exam a few years ago? Don't look at how much you spend now. , in the future your third younger brother will earn a lot when he becomes an official, so when your third younger brother becomes an official, take good care of those two grandchildren!"

During lunch, Li Hongqin shook her head and sighed: "I really convinced her, why did I say this with that old face, and the second person wouldn't be able to say it!"

Dong Bao smiled and said: "My grandma is amazing, what does this matter matter to her? She must have heard that we made money selling bean curds, so she came here and let us go back." Go back and continue to support her son and grandson!

Li's heart was a little heavy, "This is endless, she is an elder, how can...how can..."

"Mother, don't think so much." Dong Bao persuaded, "The separation documents are clearly written. As long as you don't listen to my grandma, what can she do if she keeps making trouble? My second uncle's family is of the same virtue. Damn! So many people watched when the family was separated, what did he say at the beginning? After the separation, each family lived in its own way, and the good and the bad all depended on their own abilities. Now why don’t they each rely on their abilities? My third uncle only has him in his eyes I wish I could sell my whole family for him to spend. If you take them seriously, you are cheating yourself!"

The Song family could cheat Song Xiucai, who was devoted to relatives and friends, and the kind and cowardly Li family, but they couldn't cheat Dong Bao, so they could only cheat people who were thin-skinned and treated them as relatives.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Li Hongqin and Zhang Xiuyu were sleeping on the bed in the next room, under the quilt, Zhang Xiuyu said to Li Hongqin: "Mom, Brother Dashi just dismissed Dongbao's milk today. It's really amazing." !"

Li Hongqin became vigilant when she heard her daughter's voice full of excitement and longing amidst shyness.
