peasant girl wedding

Chapter 7 Grievance
When Mrs. Tong dragged Tong Zhaofu into the yard, Fang Cuiwei was so startled that she almost fainted.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" God gave Fang Cui a slight look, and sneered, "You'll find out later."

Tong Zhi'er, who was knocked to the ground by the old lady, walked over staggeringly. Fang Cuiwei saw a big swelling on her forehead, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, don't cry."

At this time, Mrs. Lin led Mr. Tong, the eldest child of the Tong family, the second child and the fourth child in. They hurried back because they saw what Mrs. Lin said as if the sky was about to fall.

As soon as Old Man Tong entered the room, he yelled at Mrs. Tong angrily: "What kind of moth are you messing with?"

"I... Did I provoke a moth?" Mrs. Tong was also very angry, and immediately quarreled with Mrs. Tong.Seeing this, Mrs. Lin gave her a hand, and said in a low voice, "Mother, don't you want to talk to Dad about something important?"

Mrs. Tong was confused by Mrs. Tong's anger. After Lin reminded her, she immediately piled Tong Zhaofu to Mrs. Tong's side, and said loudly, "Your grandson is stealing things."

Steal!
With a bang, Old Man Tong jumped up from the chair, his brows were erected, his fierce appearance frightened Tong Zhaofu half to death, and he burst into tears.

Both Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were stunned. Tong Zhaofu stole things. How could he steal things at such a young age? Why did mother say that?
"Stop crying, tell me, whose property did you steal? Who taught you this?" Old Man Tong asked, but his eyes quickly glanced at Fang Cuiwei.

Fang Cuiwei was also anxious, and immediately grabbed Tong Zhaofu who was crying, and said anxiously: "Ah Fu, tell mother if you have stolen anything?"

Tong Zhaofu stopped crying, choked and said, "Mom, I just took an egg from the chicken coop."

Fang Cuiwei and Old Man Tong heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

"I can't understand what I'm saying, and I'm talking about it." Old man Tong stared at old lady Tong extremely dissatisfied.

The old lady Tong said angrily: "I told you I'm in charge of the eggs in the chicken coop. Ah Fu went to get them secretly. Is this stealing or something? Don't care if it's someone else's house or not. Ah Fu has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was young. How can he do it when he grows up?" ?”

"I... I didn't mean to take milk's eggs. It's just that my second sister was sick at that time, and the doctor said that eating some eggs and meat would make her recover quickly, so I took one."

"Hmph, you still dare to argue?" Mrs. Tong was furious when she heard the words.

"Mother," Tong Zhi said with a heavy heart, knelt on the ground with a plop, looked at Mrs. Tong with great heartache, and said, "Ah Fu loves his second sister, is it wrong to give her an egg to eat? I really don't understand why we are still a family because of such a trivial matter?"

Tong Zhixin said with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Tong was taken aback, while Old Man Tong looked at the crying fourth child in shock.

The honest fourth child was forced to say such things, what happened to this family?
Looking at Tong Zhaofu and Fang Cuiwei who couldn't stop crying, and Tong Zhixin who was crying silently, Tong Zhi'er felt sour.

Old man Tong took a step forward, helped Tong Zhixin up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Fourth, how can you say that, we are of course a family."

Tong Zhixin didn't speak, stood up, supported Fang Cuiwei, dragged Tong Zhaofu and Tong Zhi'er out of the main house.

Old man Tong didn't stop them either, knowing that Mrs. Tong's actions today would break the fourth child's heart.

He looked at the cold-faced old lady Tong in the room, sighed in his heart, and said, "Why do you not want to see the fourth child? After all, he also came out of your belly. Why do you just... "Old man Tong couldn't say the latter words.

Old lady Tong's lips trembled, she lowered her head, but she didn't say a word.

The crop work couldn't be delayed, and after a while, Old Man Tong called the eldest son Tong Zhaoyin and his second grandson Tong Zhaoyin to go to Longshang to clear the fields. As for the fourth son Tong Zhixin, he didn't call him.

In another courtyard.

Tong Zhixin embraced his wife and children from the main house back to his yard, and remained silent for a while.Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er, who came back from the laundry, noticed something strange and also entered the room, sitting silently beside Fang Cuiwei.

Fang Cuiwei was still sobbing.

Tong Zhixin looked at Tong Zhaofu in her arms, and said, "Ah Fu, from now on, don't touch anything in the main house, just tell dad what you want, you understand?"

As soon as Tong Zhixin said this, Tongduo, Tongduo, Tongtongzhi, Tongzhaofu and Fang Cuiwei both burst into tears at the same time.

"Mother doesn't like me, and even if I do, you will be wronged."

"The child's father, don't say that." Fang Cuiwei looked at Tong Zhixin with tears in her eyes.

Tong Zhixin looked at his wife and children, wiped away his tears, and said, "I'm going to work in the fields first."

After Tong Zhixin left, Tong Zhi'er asked Fang Cuiwei, "Mother, since grandma doesn't want to see father and us so much, why don't we separate from the family?"

"My child, you are still young, so you don't understand these things." Fang Cuiwei gently touched Tong Zhi'er's head, with a bit of bitterness in her smile, "No matter how annoying you are, when the old man is still here, he is unwilling and unable to separate Family. Don’t mention this matter in front of your father. He loves us. If he is moved because of your mention, the folks in the village will probably kill your father. Mother doesn’t want your father to suffer such grievances. .”

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and also vaguely had a new understanding of the folk customs of this world.

The days passed slowly, and although Mrs. Tong had restrained herself a little these days and didn't find fault too much, she still tried to make things difficult for Fang Cuiwei every now and then.

such as.

"What kind of food are you cooking? Did you throw the stone in on purpose? Are you proud of it when it hit my teeth? You treat me like this because the fourth child and those children love you and protect you? You Do you still have elders in your eyes? When you were at home, did your parents teach you what filial piety is? Huh, the Fang family is really a good family tradition!"

Mrs. Tong scolded these words sternly, and Fang Cuiwei could hold back when she first heard it, but she couldn't help it when it came to her natal family in the end, crying and saying: "Mother, there are stones in the vegetables because I accidentally , I won’t do it again next time. There are still unmarried sisters in my family, please don’t say that, if it spreads, my sister’s reputation will be ruined, what will I do in the future..."

"Hmph, I'm afraid your sister won't get married, so don't play tricks in front of me in the future."

Mrs. Tong was a little shy when she was told, she didn't bring up the previous topic, but she still didn't let Fang Cuiwei go.

"You don't want to serve my old woman, so the old woman wants you to serve me. Go to the kitchen and cook a new table. If you still do this this time, don't blame me for tarnishing your natal family's reputation."

So, on this day, Fang Cuiwei spent an hour picking vegetables and washing vegetables for an hour, until he wished to use a microscope to take photos of the leaves of the vegetables.

For another example, when Fang Cuiwei took the clothes washed and dried in the yard back to the main house, Granny Tiao took the opportunity to wipe ash on Old Man Tong's clothes.

"How do you work? These clothes can't be washed clean. Look, look here, what's the matter with this dust? It's fine if you blame me for not wanting to see me. After all, I don't have a good face for you. However, Old Man Tong has nothing to say to you. You are a black heart, but you don't care about Old Man Tong's clothes, and just deal with it casually. You don't know that there is a happy event in the village, and Old Man Tong will wear this dress to attend Is it? If I hadn't been on guard against you and found out about this, Old Man Tong would still have to lose his life..."

So, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's always inevitable.

At first, Tong Zhi'er and the others were very angry and rushed into the yard of the main house to argue with Mrs. Tong, but they were stopped by Fang Cuiwei.

She said: "Mother knows that you feel sorry for mother. Your grandma is such a person. Mother is used to it. It's okay. Fortunately, your father treats mother very well. You also let mother worry about it. Mother is very grateful and satisfied. , don’t expect anything else. You are still children and Grandma’s grandsons, don’t get involved here, just take care of yourself, and don’t worry about your mother’s affairs.”

What Fang Cuiwei said made sense, and Tong Zhi'er understood after thinking about it.

Mrs. Tong already thought that her fourth daughter-in-law was not pleasing to her eyes. If they said good things to her mother again, Mrs. Tong would be even more picky, and mother's situation would be even more difficult.

The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most troublesome for thousands of years.
