Pastoral little master

86 - Unable to resist temptation
Zhao's self-satisfied words changed the faces of Xu's mother and daughter.

Erxia's cheeks were hot and she felt shy, but she didn't run back to the room to hide like before.

She just looked nervously at Xu Shi, her pink lips were pursed slightly, and there was some uneasiness in the depths of her phoenix eyes.

In the morning, she heard from Liuju about the whereabouts of Qiduo and Tan Dejin and his party. The situation of the Lin family is unknown, so why did the Zhao family get married?
Erxia's hands hanging by her side couldn't help clenching tightly, her nails piercing her delicate palms.

Mrs. Xu was not only surprised, but also angry, deceiving too much.

"Erxia, you go back to the house first." Mrs. Xu waved to Erxia with a gentle tone.

Erxia nodded lightly, walked out of the room slowly, her back was a little stiff.

After Erxia left, Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Zhao with a gloomy expression, and said, "Mother, Erxia's engagement is such a big deal, how can I, a mother, not believe it in advance? Isn't this too much?" .”

The tone was very displeased, with undisguised accusations.

Facing Zhao's shamelessness and bullying, Xu felt that her patience had reached its limit.

Mrs. Xu's attitude made Mrs. Zhao very annoyed.

She immediately patted the table and said angrily, "Mr. Xu, what kind of attitude is this? Even if the family is separated, I will still be your mother-in-law. Erxia's marriage has been told to you and the boss a long time ago, and the boss also agreed to the engagement." , Why did I go too far, a dead thing who doesn't know what is good or bad."

Xu gritted her teeth and retorted, "De Jin didn't nod at all, and besides, we don't know what kind of family the Lin family is. What do you take Erxia for such a hasty engagement?
Also, the last time you told De Jin that you were engaged tomorrow, how could it be so hasty today? Could it be that there is something shameful about this marriage? "

His mind was stabbed, and Zhao's old face suddenly turned red.

Not ashamed, but angry.

She got up, pointed Xu Shi's nose and cursed, "Xu Shi, look at what kind of nonsense you are talking about. I only care about Er Xia and your first room, but you are suspicious there. Do you still have a conscience? I Make an appointment in advance, because you are worried that this relative will be robbed by someone, dead thing."

After cursing, she hurriedly opened the door and left.

Xu Shi was also panting heavily with anger.

Yang looked at Xu and smiled coyly, pointed to the inner room, and said, "Mother, let me go and see Liulang, is he better?"

Xu's heart was filled with anger, but she refused Yang's request without reason, and nodded, "It's a little better."

Then he took Yang Shi in to see Liu Lang.

Liu Lang originally had his eyes open, but when he heard the movement, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Mrs. Yang walked into the inner room, not daring to approach Liulang, but just took a look from a distance, and asked Mrs. Xu, "Ma'am, is Liulang awake?"

"Well, I woke up a few times, then went back to sleep, alas!" Xu sighed softly.

"Oh, Ma'am, don't worry, Liu Lang is a blessed man, he will be fine after a few days of recuperation. I have to cook, so I'm leaving first." Yang gently shook Xu's hand, comforting softly.

Then she also left in a hurry, not daring to stay, fearing that Liu Lang would get mad at her, and also worried that Mrs. Xu would ask about Er Xia's marriage.

Liuju closed the door, pouted and asked Mrs. Xu, "Mother, what should I do about this matter?"

At this time, she really hoped that Qiduo was here, and believed that Qiduo would handle this matter well.

Xu gritted her teeth, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and picked up the gift box brought by Yang on the table, no matter what it was.

She said to Liuju, "Ju, you watch Liulang at home, and I'll go to the room."

"Mother, let me go with you." Liuju said hastily.

"No, I can do it alone." Xu shook her head.

She packed her things and went out, and went straight to the upper room.

In the upper room, Tan Deyin was talking with Mrs. Zhao, the mother and son said something happy, and Mrs. Zhao grinned happily.

Tan Deyin also leaned forward and back together with a smile, his two wide front teeth were extremely conspicuous.

As soon as they saw Xu, the mother and son stopped laughing and sat up straight with serious expressions, as if the happy scene just now was Xu's illusion.

"Mother, where's your father?" Mrs. Xu didn't bother to pay attention to other things, and asked directly.

"Sleep." Mrs. Zhao gave her a sideways look and replied coldly.

Mr. Tan didn't get up all day today, he didn't even eat any food, he just lay on the bed and sighed.

Mrs. Xu carried her things and walked towards the door of the inner room.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly got up to block it, "Your father is resting because he is unwell, what are you going to do?"

A guilty conscience flickered deep in the cool eyes.

"It's nothing, I have something, I want to talk to Dad." Mrs. Xu walked around Mrs. Zhao, and shouted into the inner room through the curtain, "Dad, Dad!"

The voice is much higher than usual.

For Erxia, she no longer has any scruples.

Mr. Tan was not asleep. Hearing the commotion outside, he couldn't help but sighed deeply and lifted the quilt to get up.

Outside, Mrs. Zhao was extremely angry at Mrs. Xu's actions, and couldn't help raising her hand to hit Mrs. Xu, "Mr. Xu, you bastard, you don't have any elders in your eyes. If you blind your dog's eyes, see if I don't beat you to death."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly avoided, angrily, gritted her teeth and shouted loudly, "Is there a mother-in-law calling a daughter-in-law a bitch?"

"Old woman, shut up." When Mrs. Zhao was about to do something again, Mr. Tan lifted the curtain and came out, yelling at her.

"Old man, why are you so angry at me? Just after we separated, Mrs. Xu no longer sees me as my mother-in-law. Shouldn't she be taught a lesson?" Mrs. Zhao yelled unconvinced.

"You stay and go." Mr. Tan was very angry in his heart, he pushed Mrs. Zhao aside unceremoniously, and then asked Mrs. Xu, "Daughter-in-law, what do you want me for?"

Mrs. Xu shook the gift box in front of Mr. Tan, "Father, I just want to ask, De Jin and I haven't made up our minds about Erxia's marriage, why did my parents decide on it?"

Mr. Tan's eyes froze, and he looked at Mrs. Zhao, "Old woman, what's going on?"

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard it, she knew that Mr. Tan didn't know, and her eyes softened a little.

Mrs. Zhao swallowed her saliva, and said with a guilty conscience, "What's going on, Erxia's marriage was agreed in the morning. Today, Mrs. Liu came over and brought the betrothal gift, and I will send it to the boss and the others." .”

"Old woman, didn't I tell you in the morning that Erxia should first ask the eldest daughter-in-law for their opinion? Sister-in-law Liu is here, why don't you inform the eldest daughter-in-law, what exactly do you want to do?" Mr. Tan was angry. Gotta punch the wall with my fist.

Why did he marry such a woman, to cause him trouble!
Mr. Tan hates it!

Zhao's eyes widened, she lifted a wooden stool by her feet, slammed it hard on the ground, and said playfully, "What am I doing, I'm not doing it for Er Xia's sake, ah, you heartless people, I don't want to It's over."

While speaking, the person leaned on the ground, sat on the ground, beat his chest, stamped his feet, and began to cry.

Mrs. Xu sneered with some disdain, put the gift box on the table beside her, and said to Mr. Tan, "Father, Er Xia's marriage should be discussed after De Jin comes back. As for the appointment and engagement, as parents, we don't know. Countless.

If you really want to get married with the Lin family, it's a big deal to make an appointment, how can it be done so quietly, it must be done in a lively manner.Otherwise, Master Zhuang didn't know what was going on and made people laugh.Dad, put the things here, I'll go back first, everything will wait for De Jin to come back. "

Putting down the gift box, Mrs. Xu straightened her back and walked away.

Mr. Tan looked at Zhao Shi who was like a shrew, and became even more angry. He kicked her on the leg and scolded, "Damn old woman, you are doing it again. If the boss and the others disagree with this marriage, see how you tell the Lin family." Tell me, just do it!"

Then he turned his back to the inner room.

Mrs. Zhao got up from the ground and followed into the inner room.

She grabbed Mr. Tan's arm and said very seriously, "Old man, don't give me a dead face. Who am I betrothed to Erxia for? Isn't it for everyone? Is it for me? I can't eat it as a snack. I just hope that life at home will be easier and you can relax.

Except for the land deed and the cloth for tea cakes, I gave them all to the boss. "

She took out a land deed from her sleeve and handed it to Mr. Tan.

Mr. Tan took it after hesitating for a moment, and looked at it. The word "Thirty Mu" made his heart tighten, and his heart trembled slightly.

He is very clear about the value of [-] acres of fertile land, and it is quite a temptation for him. Even if the family does not grow these fields, they can earn a good income if they are sold or rented out now.

In addition to the fertile land, there are also two shops and gold and silver jewelry.

Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Tan have been husband and wife for decades. Seeing the change in his expression, he naturally knew what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth twitched triumphantly.

"Old man, if you really don't want these land deeds, I'll take them to the second child and ask him to hand them over to Aunt Liu, and return Erxia's family." Mrs. Zhao said, and reached out to grab Mr. Tan The land deed in his hand.

Mr. Tan instinctively put Tian Qi away in his arms, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm not blaming you for making Erxia's engagement, but that you should tell the eldest daughter-in-law before accepting the betrothal gift. My daughter is engaged I don't know, it's no wonder that the eldest daughter-in-law is upset, and it would be unhappy for anyone."

"Well, if I tell the eldest daughter-in-law and she comes to see Mrs. Liu, will the land deed still be in my hands? Anyway, when the boss comes back, you must find a way to get him to accept this marriage. Sister-in-law Liu has already agreed that the Lin family is very satisfied with Erxia, and they wish to get married sooner, we have already agreed on the eighteenth next month." Zhao added.

"Hey, where did the boss go?" Mr. Tan sighed and asked suddenly.

"I heard from the second daughter-in-law that he went to Pingshan with the fourth son early in the morning, saying that he was going to dig ginseng for Liu Lang. He didn't do serious things all day long and just messed around." Zhao sneered.

"Let's talk about it when the boss comes back." Mr. Tan waved his hand, and then put away the Tian Qi.

Mrs. Zhao returned to her place with a raised heart, and walked out of the inner room with a smile.

Tan Deyin had already left the upper room, and returned to the east chamber to tell Yang about Xu's matter, his tone was a little worried, and the duck with its mouth full could not fly.

"Put your heart back in your stomach, what are you afraid of when you have your mother standing in front of you? You can point at her and spit out the thirty acres of land that mother swallowed? That's absolutely impossible," Yang said. Said very calmly.

She thinks she knows Mr. Zhao very well.

"That's right, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law are unwilling to let Erxia get into the sedan chair, what should I do? They can't snatch her alive." Tan Deyin was still worried.

"Ah, Deyin, you are usually so smart, why do you get confused when it comes to the critical moment. What do you need most, what do you need most? It's money! They will still not agree to it when the time comes, and ask mother to spit out some money Give it to them, and it will be guaranteed." Yang pushed Tan Deyin away and blamed him disdainfully.

"If that's the case, that's fine." Tan Deyin whispered.

For some reason, he suddenly felt very uneasy, and his eyelids twitched violently.

It seems like something is going to happen.

Qiduo, Tan Dejin and Tan Debao finally rushed back to Tan's house before dark. The three entered the compound and went straight to the upper room.
