Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 188
Chapter [-] Desire Dissatisfaction

"Xi'er, don't worry, you're still sick, at least wait for dad to finish talking!" Liang Yuzhong said, just now, from the eyes of his daughter, he suddenly saw a kind of viciousness and ruthlessness that didn't match his age. , Holding down the shock in his heart, he said.

Jin Xi didn't say anything more, she looked at Liang Yuzhong quietly, waiting for his next words.

"Er Hu came back and said that those who came to make trouble were neither black nor white. To put it bluntly, they were just young people. Moreover, they went after Boy Sheng and Taozhi at first, and learned that Taozhi was from our hot pot shop. The people who are here have annoyed our hot pot shop together." Liang Yuzhong said.

Jin Xi is slightly surprised, Liang Lisheng and Aunt Taozhi?Where did this come from?Then, Liang Yuzhong brought back the news of Sun Erhu, including the cause of the incident, that is, it snowed heavily that day, Taozhi went to the market in Xiaobeilou to buy vegetables and was robbed by Ma's wife, Liang Lisheng drew his sword to help when he saw the injustice, and because of this As for the marriage with the Ma's mother-in-law, and the incident that caused the Ma's mother-in-law and her five natal brothers to make a scene with Qian Lixiang, she told Jin Xi in full detail.

"Xi'er, the two tigers came back and said, the Ah Cai that Brother Wen gave us is really amazing, don't you know? This time when Ma's mother-in-law and her natal brothers made a big fuss in our shop, Ah Cai was left alone. Three of the five brothers, the remaining two are your uncle Dahu and your second cousin. Later, you Lihui brother learned about this from some unknown source, and brought two elder brothers of the yamen servants to the shop. Uncle stuffed red envelopes for the two big yamen servants, hehe, when the Ma brothers went back and found people to come over to make trouble again, the mantis, the cicada and the oriole were behind, and three of the five brothers were sent to prison. This woman pretended to be dead and sick on the spot, so she let her go for now, and her two clever brothers are still absconding!"

"It's not just Ah Cai, the four guys that brother Wen sent over to arrange in the shop are all skilled practitioners." Jin Xi said calmly, apparently not surprised at all by the fact that Ah Cai is good at skills.

Liang Yuzhong was dumbfounded, he really didn't know about this, and Sun Yubao and the others didn't know about it before, they only knew that these four guys were quick and nimble when they walked, so it turns out... that's it!
Jin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, pretending to be dizzy when sick?Absconding?Hmph, such a bully on the East Street, such a punishment is still too light, just wait, if you dare to provoke her, there will be more exciting things in the future.

……

In the morning of the next day, Wending really came as promised, carrying almost half of the gifts in the carriage, and Cai Qingyang moved them all into Jinxi's room. On the table, on the desk, there were piles of tonics, some There are all kinds of snacks and gadgets, there are cloths, and there are many pamphlets and books.

"Brother Wen, these gifts you brought can fill up my little room." Jin Xi glanced at those books with bright eyes, and teased: "If I had known earlier that I would be able to recover from a minor illness, In exchange for so many good things, I should have done so long ago!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wen Ding sat on the small round stool two steps away from the bed, Jin Xi's eyes followed those presents, his eyes never shifted from looking at Jin Xi's face.Hearing Jin Xi's teasing, his expression darkened slightly, and he said again: "Sure enough, your face seems to be narrowed, how do you feel now?"

"I'm in good health, I can get out of bed a long time ago, but my mother-in-law and mother-in-law insist on not letting me stay on the bed." Jin Xi said, after finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek and smiled Said: "Last month in the hot pot shop, I was full of fish and meat every day, and my face became fat like a baby! Am I really thin? This is a good thing."

Wen Ding was choked, and smiled helplessly. The two of them talked for a while, and some things were summed up. Then, Cai Jinshan came in and asked Wen Ding to have lunch in the main room in the front yard.

"Xi'er, take a good rest for two more days, and I'll go out first. Also, I will start to prepare for the two things we discussed just now, and I will accompany you when you recover and can go down to the ground alive and kicking." Let you do it yourself." Wen Ding got up and said, Jin Xi nodded with a smile, it was Brother Wen who understood her, and watched him out of the room with a smile.

After Wen Ding stayed at Jin Xi's house for a sumptuous farm-style lunch, he set off for the town.Although tomorrow is the Laba Festival, Mrs. Sun managed to catch up with Wending to come over and let Mama Dong cook the eight-treasure rice carefully selected in the past few days on a slow fire, so that Wending could enjoy it here. I tasted Laba porridge one day earlier.After Wen Ding left Jinxi's house, women from Chunzhu's family, Daniu's family, Cui's family, and Butcher Zhang's family all came to visit Jinxi, and Chunzhu's family brought eggs. The one from the Niu family brought scallion pancakes just out of the pan, the one from the Zhang family brought a pair of pork kidneys for Mrs. Sun to fry for Jinxi as an appetizer, and the Cui Kongque from the Cui family brought a live chicken.

The next day will be the real Laba Festival. After the Laba Festival, it means that the real lunar month has entered. The day is approaching the end of the year. The whole village is filled with a joyous atmosphere. Every household is sifting rice and cooking porridge. The whole village The sky above seems to be filled with the unique aroma of Laba porridge.

Every year and festival, Liang Yuzhong's family must show filial piety to the old Liangtou and the Tan family. The adults and children don't like to see each other very much, but the filial piety that the younger generation should fulfill, the couple Liang Yuzhong and Sun have never neglected.

So, when the fragrant Laba porridge was ready, Jian's first filled a bowl and put them on the Kitchen God's place on the inside of the stove, and then Liang Yuzhong sent the old Liangtou and Tan's share to the village. Jian's filled several bowls and prepared them there, and Sun sent them to the good friends in the village one by one. Soon, those good friends also sent Jin Xi's home the eight-treasure porridge cooked by each family. After sending each other off, all Jinxi's family members washed their hands and sat around the big table in the dining hall of the inner courtyard, ready to have a feast.

Although Cai Jinshan's family will also change with Jinxi and Liang Yuzhong's requirements in other aspects, such as titles and kowtow to salute when they meet, it is simple, but when it comes to eating, no matter how Liang Yuzhong and Sun invite , The six members of their family resolutely refused to eat at the same table with the host.But in time for a festival like Laba, Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun tried their best to invite them, and Cai Jinshan's family would never refuse no matter what they saw. The Big Eight Immortals table was full of people, Jin Rou and Wen Yun were playing with the hand rope, Wen An was teasing the third child in Mrs. Sun's arms with a rattle, and the fourth child was staring curiously at Mrs. Sun's arms with a pair of dark eyes. Everything, the smiling Dong Mama and the taciturn but down-to-earth Jian Shi, presented all kinds of dishes and Laba porridge on the table one by one. Although Jin Xi recovered better, she still couldn't bear the nagging of Mrs. Sun and insisted I even wore a jacket over my jacket. Sitting there, looking at everything in front of me, I felt a lively and warm feeling that I had never experienced before. If it could be like this every year in the future, it would be great!

At the same time, the old Liang's house, the front house and the backyard are also shrouded in a strong atmosphere of Laba Festival festive atmosphere.Near noon, old Liangtou sat in the dining hall with Liang Yulin, Liang Yuzhou, Liang Liqing and Liang Libai who had rushed back from the town, drinking tea and chatting homely, while waiting for the women in the kitchen next door to celebrate the Laba Festival. The food porridge is served on the table.

In the kitchen next door, Mrs. Tan led Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Yang and Cui Xique were busy working around the pot, while Liang Yumei stayed in her room and hadn't come out yet.

Since Cui Xique married into the old Liang's family, he took over the power of the old Sun's spatula again. Liang Yumei's laundry work, serving food and water and so on.

"Second brother's family, go and put the dishes and chopsticks, and go to the east room to call your sister out for dinner, old man, the fire in the stove is almost gone, you go and serve the hot dishes in the dish cupboard to the next door for dinner Go to the hall, the fourth family, you scoop out the Laba porridge!" Tan stood aside, waving his arms and turning around the three daughter-in-laws, Jin and Yang went out one by one, and Cui Xique was left in the kitchen Spoon porridge there.

Cui Xique turned her back to Tan Shi, although she didn't use her eyes to look at her, she could feel Tan Shi's eyes coldly moving back and forth on her back. Shi's cold eyes met him.

Cui Xique was startled, what kind of eyes does this old lady have?Scary!

"Mother, you, what are you looking at me?" Cui Xique suppressed his shock and asked crisply.

Tan's eyes still swept Cui Xique back and forth with cold eyes, snorted coldly, and said: "What are you doing, I want to see how different you are from other women, so that you can fool the fourth child." I know how to hang around under your skirt!"

When Cui Xique heard this, he felt a little annoyed. Today is the holiday, he pressed down forcefully, and said coldly: "My mother, your eyeballs are almost popping out, but did you get any results?"

Mrs. Tan glanced at Cui Xique very disdainfully, and said with a strange yin and yang air: "It's not good to be dead, what are you talking about is a flower in Jinjishan Village, it's not protruding in the front and not warping in the back, it's not easy to give birth to at first glance. Hey, he's not tall but not young, but he's coaxing my good-for-nothing son around with just a vicious face!"

Cui Xique did not expect that Mrs. Tan gave away her two sister-in-laws, and she deliberately wanted to ridicule her here. This criticism is really merciless, Cui Xique immediately turned pale, and poured the ladle into the porridge pot After falling, she straightened her waist and chest and said to Tan: "Hey, you are really right, I have no ability, but it is enough for me to have one ability to coax men, this, yes One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, mother, if you don’t believe me, just ask your son and see if he is willing to be coaxed by me!”

"Shameless coquettish vixen, you have the face to say this kind of thing, you are dead, you have to do things for the fourth day, you are a bottomless pit that can't be filled, you still haunt my son every night, a man who doesn't know how to be considerate of himself, Shameless..." Tan stared at Cui Xique, gnashing her teeth word by word.

Cui Xique's face burst into irritability, only God knows, she and Liang Yuzhou have only done that twice since they got married, both of which ended hastily, she has not yet experienced the happiness of a woman except for the pain, In Tan's eyes, he has become a dissatisfied...

"Mother is really good at it. She even knows everything about her son and daughter-in-law's bed clearly. A mother-in-law like you in Jinjishan Village who is as long-handed and caring as you is, I'm afraid I won't be able to find another person." Cui Xique was not angry. Laughing back, he patted his thigh, and said: "Oh, I see, it's not that my mother is good at it, but that I have a good little girl who likes to listen to the corners, and I haven't even promised my husband's big girl, what about my brother-in-law's bed? It’s just fart, oops, if I talk about this to the outside world, the villagers will probably envy me, such a good mother-in-law and sister-in-law are all given to me, so lucky..."

Tan is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that someone will use Liang Yumei to make an argument. Cui Xique had learned from Jin Xi before that Liang Yumei was Tan's weakness.

"Damn it, don't pour dirty water on Mei'er. It's been said that she has sleepwalking since she was a child, and it's not uncommon for her to go to the wrong place!" When it came to Liang Yumei, Tan became distraught. It's time to stand, and the arrogance must have dropped by two feet in an instant as before.

Cui Xique remained silent, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Tan Shi with a half-smile.

"Okay, okay, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just see you young people, some things hurt your body without restraint, so I kindly remind you a few words, you are dead, and you are still in a show!" Tan Shi Seeing Cui Xique's cold attitude but not giving in at all, she also knew that this fourth daughter-in-law was different from the other three daughter-in-laws, and she was not something she could easily take down. .

Cui Xique raised his eyebrows, but remained silent, looking at Tan with a half-smile.At this time, Mrs. Jin came back from the dining hall after delivering the dishes, and said: "Mother, Meier and the others are all seated, why don't you bring the Laba porridge to me?"

Tan frowned, pointed at the ladle that had been thrown into the porridge pot, and urged Cui Xique to say, "What are you doing, quickly scoop up the porridge and bring it over, because you want to make the whole family hungry." ?”

Cui Xique glanced at the porridge pot, put his arms around his chest, and snorted softly: "My hands are just twisted, I can't hold the ladle, and I'm full, and I can't eat Laba porridge. I'll go back to the house to rest." Let’s go, mother can figure it out on her own!” After saying these words, Cui Xique stepped out of the kitchen, and Tan Shi was so angry that she almost fell backwards, and her daughter-in-law went on strike. Two times, the first time was before the Chinese New Year last year, that time with the Sun family, and this time it was Cui Xique again!

On the contrary, all of them disregarded her as a mother-in-law less and less. Tan's face turned green with anger, wishing to rush up and grab Cui Xique and spray her to death with saliva, but he was afraid that Cui Xique would kill her in front of her. The face of the old Liangtou made Liang Yumei hear what happened in the corner of the wall, so Tan had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow the blood, thinking to himself, living under the same roof in the future, there is a chance to blame Cui Xique!

As soon as she looked up and saw Jin shi shrinking at the door of the kitchen, Tan became even angrier, transferred all her anger to Jin shi, and said angrily: "Damn it, why are you still standing there dumbfounded? Hurry over to scoop up the porridge, all of them are upside down, just want to sit and wait to eat, do you want to upside down too?"

Aggrieved, Mrs. Jin hurried over to scoop up the porridge, listening to Mrs. Tan gnashing her teeth and cursing Cui Xique behind her, Mrs. Sun was so frightened that her body trembled, but she was very envious of Cui Xique in her heart.

"Old man, didn't the boss say that you came back to accompany us to spend Laba today? What are you doing?" Mrs. Jin came to the dining hall with porridge, and Mrs. Tan followed behind angrily, looking at the people in the dining hall. People, who didn't see Liang Yuju, questioned the old Liangtou loudly.

"I don't know. I said that when I left the day before yesterday. Maybe it was delayed on the road, or I met some friends in the business field! You also know that he was in Huhai County two months ago To do business, you must have met a lot of businessmen over there, and it’s a big festival, it’s not uncommon for friends in the business field to have a drink or two together!" Old Liang looked up at the door of the house, frowned, and said.

"Father, when the eldest brother left two days ago, he was in such a hurry. Could it be that something happened to his business? That can't be helped, Liang Ji even gave him 50 taels of silver!" Liang Yulin hurriedly said that Liang Yuju found him a few days ago and invited him to join him in the antique business. Liang Yulin is a monkey-like person, but his biggest weakness is greed, although he is obviously not safe about buying antiques. , but he couldn't stand against Liang Yuju's brilliant tongue, and couldn't stand Liang Yuju's extravagant handwriting when he came back this time. Therefore, Liang Yulin joined the group in the name of Liang Ji for 50 taels of silver, and he even moved 20 taels of private money in private. He also joined Liang Yujuna as a team.

When Mrs. Yang heard that there was such a good opportunity to make a fortune, she secretly went to the county to look for Liang Jinlan without telling Mr. Liangtou and Mrs. Tan. Huizi Liang Yuju hurried to Huhai County, but couldn't make it home to celebrate the Laba Festival. Among the big family, the ones who were really anxious were Liang Yulin and the Yang family.

"Yeah, father, there is a gap in the money when elder brother is doing the antique business, and he doesn't even pay half a penny to the third and third family, but our Liang Ji filled it in. Father, are you serious about this matter?" Check it out, tsk tsk, 50 taels of silver is not a small amount!" Yang Shizhen poured wine for Liang Yulin and Lao Liangtou, and said in amazement.

"Second brother, what are you two talking nonsense about? It's not clear what your elder brother does. When did he make a mistake in his business vision? It doesn't matter if it was Liang Ji, who took care of our family before, or this trip from Huhai. After getting rich, he took out hundreds of years of silver to pay off the money owed to the shopkeeper Fang. He is a good hand at making money! You guys, you can’t see him well. Laba porridge, just think about it like this, you have shallow eyelids!" Old Liangtou glared at Liang Yulin and Yang Shi dissatisfiedly, and tried his best to defend Liang Yuju.

Liang Yulin and his wife didn't dare to speak any more, and the family began to bury their heads in eating porridge.

"Hey, old lady, why don't you see the fourth daughter-in-law?" Lao Liangtou just picked up the chopsticks, glanced at his eyes, and then realized that Cui Xique was missing in the room, so he asked Tan.In fact, before Cui Xique left, he went into the dining hall and whispered something in Liang Yuzhou's ear.At that moment, old Liangtou was discussing with Liang Yulin the bright prospect of making money from antique shops, so he didn't pay much attention to Cui Xique's movements.

Mentioning Cui Xique, Tan's face was livid, he gave Liang Yuzhou a hard look, and said: "It is said that the wrist is twisted, so go back to the house to rest!"

Old Liangtou 'Oh! ' said, and looked at Liang Yuzhou with displeasure, and said nothing, so the family ate porridge in silence.

"Father, mother, eat slowly, I'll go back to the house when I'm full!" Liang Yuzhou, who hadn't said a word, hurriedly finished a bowl of porridge, stood up and said to Lao Liangtou and the others.

"What's wrong, a big old man only eats this few mouthfuls?" Old Liangtou asked in surprise.

Liang Yuzhou was a little hesitant, Tan picked up a small spoon to scoop up the second bowl for Liang Yumei, squinted at Liang Yuzhou, and hummed: "The worthless thing knows how to chase after the daughter-in-law's ass all day long! Go away, don't worry about it!" The old lady is upset when she sees it!"

Without saying a word, Liang Yuzhou got up and left the dining hall. He didn't go straight to the front room, but turned into the kitchen.

Here, Mrs. Tan thumped the chopsticks in her hand on the table, and said angrily: "Fuck you, little bastard, you haven't learned anything else. You only want to get used to a daughter-in-law, and you brought it to her in the house." Eat? Dream!" After speaking, Tan pulled away the stool and was about to go to the kitchen to intercept him, but was stopped by Old Liang.

"Stop fussing, she just got married this holiday season, so don't make such a fuss and let the neighbors see and laugh at you!" Old Liang said, actually it was next to the Cui family's rapeseed and wheat fields, Every time old Liangtou went to visit the land, he would meet old Cuitou. Every time the two old men would sit on the dam and smoke dry cigarettes to make daily life, they had some friendship.

Mrs. Tan gave the old Liang head a hard look. Outside, Liang Yuzhou was carrying porridge and striding towards the front room. Mrs. Tan spat hard, sat down stiffly, and said, "Damn it, just this once, let's go again!" There will be a next time, even if it is the daughter of the Heavenly King's family, don't even think about it, the sky is turned upside down, this is..."

No one in the family dared to speak anymore, they all buried their heads in the bowls and ate the porridge, because the previous rounds of commotion and strong festive atmosphere suddenly seemed to disappear.

What Old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan didn't know was that in such a festival where thousands of families reunited and celebrated eating Laba porridge, as the greatest pride of the old Liang family, Liang Yuju, the most proud money-maker of the old Liangtou, this At noon, I was indeed with a few friends in the business field, but instead of sitting in a restaurant drinking and having fun, the few people were hiding in a depression in Beishan, the border between Wanghai County and Huhai County. Just a dry scallion pancake in everyone's arms and a pot of cold water on their waists.
