Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 102
Chapter [-]
Could it be that Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Yang naively thought that Mrs. Sun would hide their belongings under the corners of these boxes and the straw?Jin Xi thought to herself.

There was no place to put the cotton wool on Mrs. Sun's shoulders, so she put it on the straw. Suddenly, there was a creaking noise from under the straw, and a super-fat mouse jumped out of it and disappeared in a flash.

Jin Xi and Jin Rou were taken aback by this, both of them were afraid of mice, so they hugged each other tightly in fright.

Sun turned over the straw angrily, and she was surprised by this, there was still a nest of tender skinned mice that hadn't opened their eyes yet, shrunk into a wriggling pink mass under the straw.

Although Jin Xi had already guessed that Tan Shi and the others would definitely not be able to take care of this room before, but they never expected it to be so dilapidated.Jin Xi's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and Jin Rou let out a cry.

This is what old Liangtou said, a ready-made house, and you just come in with your clothes?Jin Xi sneered, Sun Yuxia and the others' guesses were true, the house of four has been left unattended for the past few months since their family of four came out!

Sun suppressed her chest-breaking anger and stood aside, put her arms around the cotton wool, and said, "Rou'er, don't cry, leave this rat's nest here, and leave it to your father to take a good look at it!"

In the East Wing, Old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan are sitting at the table in front of the window, one on the left and the other on the right. Mrs. Tan is drinking tea, while Mrs. Liang is smoking tobacco. On the table between them, various snacks and dried fruits are strung together The wine jars, the whole packs of shredded tobacco, and the cloths for Mrs. Tan were piled up like a hill.

"Third brother, did you spend a lot of money to buy these things? Except for the ones given by Xi'er Gapo, you paid for the rest yourself?" Old Liang asked with a cigarette stick in his mouth.

Liang Yuzhong stood in front of them, scratched his head and smiled honestly, a little proud of his ability to honor his parents, and said: "Yes, we earned it ourselves, and it didn't cost much, isn't it just a new year? , Xi Erniang and I discussed, no matter what, we should buy some decent gifts for our parents!"

Old Liang nodded and did not continue. Tan, who was sitting opposite him, sneered, put down his teacup, stared at Liang Yuzhong sternly, and said, "We are mothers. You married a daughter-in-law, no matter how much filial piety you receive, that's what you deserve!"

Liang Yuzhong didn't dare to scratch his head anymore, and stood below with his hands down, waiting respectfully and somewhat anxiously for Tan's next words.

Tan glanced at the pile of gifts on the table, and said: "If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive rice is. If you earn a few coins, you will have to spend money. If you buy such a bunch of gaudy things, then how can you give me any money?"

Liang Yuzhong was stunned for a moment, he was so happy to be back that he almost forgot about it.A few months ago, I went to Sunjiagou with Mrs. Sun, and I agreed with Lao Liangtou and the others to guard the tea garden, five taels of silver a year, and ten taels for two people. Food and lodging are covered there, and spring farming is busy and autumn harvests. Yes, the couple have to rush back to help with the work.

Old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan were looking for the pure money of ten taels of silver, which would not delay the busy farming and save food for the four of them, so they let them go to Sunjiagou.

Mrs. Tan wondered, even though it's only been two or three months since I went home for the New Year, how could I get some cash, right?
"It was agreed that there would be ten taels of silver for the two of us a year, so we managed to do it for a quarter. They were kind enough to settle the wages for Xi Erniang and me for a quarter. The total was two taels of silver plus five hundred Wen. These gifts are miscellaneous, and they cost about one or two taels of silver, and my son still has one to five hundred coins left, and a lot of them will be handed over to mother for safekeeping!" Liang Yuzhong followed the agreement he had made with Sun and Jin Xi before, and took The accounts were reported clearly, and then, he took out one, two, five hundred coins from his body and put them in front of Mrs. Tan.

Lao Liang's family has a large population. In previous years, the chicken, duck, and pork were all produced by the family. Going to the market to buy other New Year's goods only cost more than one tael, less than two taels of silver.

If it were in previous years, the one to five hundred essays handed in by Liang Yuzhong would be enough for the New Year, but this year is different. The pigpen, cowshed and chicken coop in the backyard of the house are all empty. You don’t need to buy Chinese cabbage, so what else can you not exchange for money?One, two, or five hundred words seems insignificant.

"Father, mother, what's the matter with you two? My son has put all his wealth here, and he didn't dare to hide it on his body. In Xi'erniang's baggage, there are only a few changes of clothes!" Liang Yuzhong said. .

Mrs. Tan glared at Liang Yuzhong, and said angrily: "You useless coward, what kind of ecstasy soup did the Sun family give you? Go out and go around and come back. If you haven't made a lot of money, you will learn to speak for your mother-in-law." It’s a good word, it’s because your mother-in-law is restless and kind, and bought these fancy things to get rid of our elders, and now that little money can buy a fart!”

Liang Yuzhong was stunned, and stared blankly at Tan's reprimanding mouth, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Old lady, the young couple are going to show people the tea garden, not to make money, so you're about to get it!" Old Liangtou couldn't bear to hear Tan's reluctance, so he opened his mouth.

Mrs. Tan pushed the thing in front of her to the other side, snorted heavily and turned her face away, not looking at the presents. Old Liangtou sighed heavily, and continued to smoke the dry smoke without making a sound.The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull, and Liang Yuzhong couldn't breathe.

Liang Yuzhong stood there for a while, but he didn't want to stay any longer. He was thinking about Niangsan at the Westinghouse, and said, "Mother, don't be angry. With this ability, my son is not as good as the elder brother and the second brother. I will leave things for you." That's it, I have to go back to the West Wing to clean up, you always have to call me later, my son is gone!" After Liang Yuzhong finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring Tan Shi who became angry again behind him.

After leaving the door of the East Wing, Liang Yuzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and strode towards the West Room.

..........................................

"Oh, what's the smell? Why is it so pungent?" Liang Yuzhong pushed the door in and was rushed by the musty smell in the room, and asked with a frown.

Jin Xi stepped on a stool, and Jin Rou squatted aside to support her. Jin Xi was bending over and pulling out a large mess of sheets and quilts from the suitcase in front of her. As more and more, the moldy smell filling the room became heavier and heavier.

Liang Yuzhong sneezed and asked in confusion, "Xi'er, what are you doing? What happened to those sheets?"

"Termites were born under the cabinet, and several holes were drilled. Mother asked me to pull out the quilt to see if it can still be used!" Jin Xi said without turning her head.

"It's so moldy and rotten, how can it still work!" Liang Yuzhong pinched his nose and said, walking towards Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun was standing by the bed with cotton wool and a bundle roll in her hand, with a cold face not to dump him, her eyes were flushed, it was obvious that she had just cried.

Liang Yuzhong was stunned for a moment, and reached out to touch the underside of Sun's eye sockets, it was really wet.He was surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Why did I cry after I walked away for a while? Who bullied you?"

"All the things were taken to that house by your parents?" Sun asked.

"Well, I sent them all away. Let me ask you, why are you crying when you go home happily for the New Year?"

"Then your parents, what did you say when you saw those things?" Mrs. Sun didn't answer Liang Yuzhong, but only asked herself.

Liang Yuzhong was stunned, scratched his head, and said: "It's rare, and my mother even said that I praised you for being able to do things!"

Jin Xi and Jin Rou glanced at each other, the sisters curled their lips, the father is not a liar at all, he is still like others to be a heartbreaker!

Mrs. Sun obviously didn't believe it, and twitched the corners of her mouth: "Is it rare? Her father, I'm not the new wife of your old Liang family, who are you fooling! It doesn't matter whether your parents like the gift or not, I just follow you Said, let’s come back this time, this family will score regardless of points, otherwise, I won’t be able to survive this day!”

After Sun finished speaking, she stuffed the things in her hand into Liang Yuzhong's arms, covered her face and sobbed.

"We can't go on anymore!" Jinxi and Jinrou came to Sun's side and said in unison.

Liang Yuzhong was taken aback, and looked around again, seeing the dilapidated scene, Jin Xi then added a little bit of color to the incidents of the rats' nests in the straw pile and the house being turned over by someone. After telling him, and seeing this terribly wronged Niangsan, Liang Yuzhong felt uncomfortable, as if he had been punched hard.

"Let's go to the next room first and have a look. If it works, let's pack up and settle down first. I won't mention the talk about taking over the ancestors and dividing the family. After this, I'll tell your grandma! Let's just bear with it for the next two days, and everything will be fine once the separation is over!"

Now that Liang Yuzhong has promised this, Sun's third wife also restrained her emotions, left this room, and went to the room of Jin Xi and Jin Rou next door. Their room is not much better than this, but luckily , the house you don't have mice nesting in the bed.

Mrs. Sun was busy cleaning the house, making the bed, and carrying the grass on the bed outside to dry in the yard. Liang Yuzhong also brought some moldy chairs from the next room to the door to dry, planning to build a bedside shop at night.Jin Xi and Jin Rou are not idle either, and after a while, they go to the yard to turn over the grass that made up the bed.

During this time, the door of the east wing opposite was kept closed, and Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan did not come out.There was no movement in Liang Yumei's house, only Mrs. Jin, who was in the kitchen, came out to hold firewood and said a few words to Mrs. Sun. I didn't see anyone else in the old Liang's family, including those who had a good relationship with them. Fourth Uncle Liang Yuzhou.

After a while, Yang poked his head out from the stove, went to the east wing, and folded it out after a while, glanced at the west room, sister Jinxi who was bending over straw, Yang pouted , raised his voice towards the front room and yelled a few times, and after a while, Liang Liqing and Liang Libai entered the backyard, like the footsteps of galloping horses.

Seeing Jinxi Jinrou squatting at the door of the West House, Liang Liqing smirked, Liang Libai made faces at the two of them, and followed Yang to the dining hall.

"Sister, is it time for dinner? I'm hungry..." Jin Rou whispered.

Jin Xi patted Jin Rou's head: "Wait a minute, there will be our share!"

As soon as Jinxi finished speaking, Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan left the door of the east room one after the other, and walked towards the kitchen. Mrs. Tan looked downcastly, glanced at the pile of hay, and spat: " Hypocritical!" Then, he threw the curtain and entered the kitchen without even saying hello.

On the other hand, when Old Liangtou saw the pair of little sisters, he smiled and waved: "Is Rou'er hungry? Come on, Master will take you to dinner! Xi'er, go tell your parents that dinner is ready!"

Jin Xi looked at Jin Rou, and asked her what she meant with her eyes.In the kitchen over there, Jin's and Yang's had already brought out steaming dishes, and went to the dining room next door to set them up.

Jin Rou held Jin Xi's hand hesitantly, and the old Liang came over and said with a smile: "Rou'er, hurry up and follow me, your parents will be here soon."

Jinrou was led by the old Liangtou to the dining hall. Here, Jinxi got up quickly and hurried towards the West Room, talking to Liang Yuzhong and his wife about the meal.

"Where's your sister?" Sun asked while telling Jin Xi to wash her hands.

"Master took her to the dining hall, father, mother, let's wash our hands and go quickly, Rou'er is there alone, and those two boys are like calves, I don't worry!" The three of them hurriedly washed their hands , quickly went to the dining hall.

"You two go to the dining hall first, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." Mrs. Sun stopped at the entrance of the dining hall and said, the rule of the old Liang family is that when eating, daughters-in-law are not eligible to serve at the table, they have to wait After the men, children and Mrs. Tan finished eating, they could grill a few mouthfuls of leftovers under the stove.

Jin Xi originally wanted to come to Mrs. Sun to sit in the dining hall, but seeing Mrs. Sun's eyes cast over her, Jin Xi held back, and it was not good to challenge the old Liang's rules as soon as she came back.

"Hey, some people have gone out for a while, and when they come back, they will become rich and precious! Tsk tsk, they are scrubbing and drying, making the yard full of straw and smoky. There is no one when cooking. It came out with a chugging sound while eating, how shameless!" Yang saw Sun entered the kitchen, and with his hand that was about to scoop up soup, knocked on the side of the pot, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Mrs. Jin was serving rice in the big pot inside. Seeing Mrs. Sun coming in, she lightly touched Mrs. Yang with her elbow.

"Sister-in-law. I'll serve it." Mrs. Sun went over to take the spatula from Mrs. Jin's hand to replace her. Mrs. Jin hurriedly said: "The third sibling is tired from the journey today, let's take a rest and wait until you fill it up tomorrow."

"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you such a good old man? This big pot of rice is made by the two of us in disgrace, and the third brother and sister just serve a meal, so you can let her do it, or else, she treats it How dare you eat it!" Yang said in a strange voice.

Sun's expression was indifferent: "Second sister-in-law, you said this. In the past, I made all the meals for our family. Don't you eat and drink every meal? Then how thick-skinned you must be!" !"

When Mrs. Yang heard this, her hair blew up. She swung the spatula, and the soup in the pot splashed onto the pot table. Speak clearly, or I will never end with you!"

Most people can't resist Yang's smacking. During this period of time, Jin and her sister-in-law were getting along, but they were ruled to death by Yang's smacking methods.

At this moment, Mrs. Jin shrank her shoulders in fright, and leaned against the wall, not daring to speak for Mrs. Sun. If this had happened before, Mrs. Sun would definitely bow her head and admit her mistake immediately.

They didn't know that Sun's steamed stuffed bun had awakened during this period of time, and was no longer the submissive persimmon he used to be.

"What does the second sister-in-law want to talk about? Well, let's not talk about it here, let's go to the canteen next door and talk about it in front of my parents, and see what I can't do as well as you!" Looking down at Yang Shi weakly, his gaze was so calm that Yang Shi was afraid.

Mrs. Sun used to walk and do things at Lao Liang's house, always with her back hooked. This is the first time she stood up straight in front of Mrs. Yang, and she was surprised that her stature was half a finger taller than Mrs. Yang's. !
Yang Shi was also surprised, and began to panic.On the one hand, it was because of Sun's eyes and attitude, as if she had changed, which made her feel a little uncertain.On the other hand, Yang Shi was puzzled, because she used to look down on Sun Shi, but now, Sun Shi stood in front of her, standing half a finger taller than her.Could it be that during these few months at her mother's house, Mrs. Sun has grown taller after eating well and living well?That's impossible!
