Peasant woman

Chapter 19

After Xu Cao and Shen Shi went out, Niu Shi was standing in the yard, holding the brocade box in his hand, and Chen Shi stood in front of the kitchen door and stared at Niu Shi with a look of hatred on his face, "You little hoof, you are so flustered!" You're going to die!" As Chen said, he caught sight of the brocade box in Niu's hand, saw that the brocade box was bright and beautiful, and seemed to be worth a lot of money, and said angrily: "What are you holding in your hand? But stealing Things at home?"

Raising the brocade box in his hand, Niu said: "Mother, this brocade box is hidden in the sister-in-law's house, and there are a lot of silver and jewelry in it. Her natal family is so poor, how could she give such a good dowry, it must be her Stolen. Mom, what did you lose?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this.Xu Cao and Shen stared at Niu in disbelief, wondering why there are such shameless women in this world.Looking at the brocade box, Mrs. Chen was a little moved. This brocade box is very beautiful and looks worth a lot of money.Thinking that Xu Cao's family was poor, she would not have such a good dowry, it must have been given to her by wealth.Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen looked up at Xu Cao, and said angrily, "Master, is this something rich?"

Xu Cao pursed her lips and stared at Niu fiercely.Seeing the brocade box in her hand, she didn't dare to go up to snatch it, otherwise, if it fell, the bracelet inside would definitely be lost.

Seeing Xu Cao's angry look, Mrs. Niu felt very proud. Didn't you lend me money?It's hard for me to make you feel bad now, and you won't be able to get such a good thing.

"Mother, that thing is my dowry, not a rich one!" Xu Cao looked at Mrs. Chen with open eyes.She believes in wealth and she doesn't want to let Mrs. Chen know that this thing is left by her mother.

Niu snorted and said, "Sister-in-law, you really know how to lie. Such a good brocade box is not an ordinary thing at first glance. Can your natal family give such a good thing? Don't be ridiculous, this must belong to the elder brother , since it belongs to eldest brother, it must be good to leave it to mother for safekeeping."

"Mother, don't listen to the nonsense of the third brother and sister. This is something that the third brother and sister stole from the sister-in-law's room. Third brother and sister, please return it to the sister-in-law." people.

"Second sister-in-law, don't be confused. This must belong to the elder brother. The elder brother's belongings must be handed over to the mother for safekeeping. Otherwise, it will be given to the elder sister-in-law. What if she steals it? Mother, do you think so? Mother, give this thing I will leave it to you for safekeeping." As Niu said, he wanted to hand the brocade box to Chen.

Xu Cao rushed forward one step ahead, but Niu escaped, holding the brocade box tightly in her hand.Xu Cao pointed at Niu and said angrily, "Third siblings, don't be ashamed, return the things to me!"

Niu said: "Sister-in-law, I advise you not to grab it. If you say this is your dowry, how about we go to your mother's house to confront it now?"

Mrs. Chen also said with a serious face: "Boss, is this your dowry or the boss's? If it is really your dowry, you can show us the list of dowry. If not, leave this thing to me for safekeeping." Already!"

Xu Cao couldn't help but sneered when she heard this, and she didn't care whether she was an elder or not, "Mother, I respect you as an elder, so I can tell you in a nice way, whether this thing is my dowry depends on you." What's the relationship? Since I'm married to Fugui, and Fugui will give you household expenses every month, Fugui and I don't owe you anything, and you don't want to mess with other things." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to the bull again Shi said: "Third brother and sister, you'd better return the things to me obediently, or don't blame me for being rude!"

This was probably the first time that Xu Cao got angry and became ruthless in his previous and this life.She has a gentle temperament, and she has never seen anything dirty in her family harmony in her previous life.Although Mrs. Xu often beat and scolded her in this life, she was an old lady, she didn't attack hard, and the whole family was considered harmonious. When did this kind of thing happen.Although it was the first time she encountered such a thing, she knew very well that she could not show weakness, otherwise she would definitely be oppressed by the Niu family and the Chen family in the future.

Seeing Xu Cao's appearance, Mrs. Niu was a little scared. Thinking, she rushed towards Mrs. Chen, put the brocade box into Mrs. Chen's hand, and said, "Mother, I'll give you this thing. I don't care about other things." gone."

Miao Miao and Brother Jun next to them were crying in fright, Shen was afraid that the two children would be hurt later, so she hurriedly carried the two children into the room, turned around and came out again, and closed the door.

Mrs. Chen was also very angry at first, and when she was yelling at Xu Cao like a mother-in-law, Mrs. Niu suddenly stuffed something into her, which made her startled.

Just as Xu Cao was making a fuss, Xu Cao was thinking of going all out, and when he snatched the brocade box back, Father Yang's voice suddenly came, "What's going on? What are you making a fuss about? I heard you yelling and cursing all the way away. .”

Several people looked towards the gate of the courtyard. Father Yang, Yang Dapeng, the second younger brother of the Yang family, and Yang Xiaotong, the third younger brother of the Yang family, walked into the courtyard one by one.Seeing the angry people in the yard, they didn't know what happened.

Yang Dapeng glanced at Shen, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter, what happened?"

Shen Shi glanced at Xu Cao, but hesitated to speak.

Father Yang saw the brocade box in Mrs. Chen's hand at a glance, his face darkened, and he said angrily, "What's going on?"

Niu Shi pretended to be clever and took a step forward, came to Father Yang, and said with a smile: "Father, you are back? Today I found something from my sister-in-law's room. My sister-in-law insisted that it was her dowry. I looked at it. Obviously it belongs to the elder brother, I thought, since it belongs to the elder brother, it is better to leave it to the mother for safekeeping. In the end, the elder sister was not happy and lost her temper with me and mother."

Father Yang's face became darker the more he listened, and when Niu Shi finished speaking, Father Yang was already trembling with anger. He pointed at Niu Shi and said, "Are you from the third family? That's the sister-in-law's room. Who let you in? Still searching? Aren’t you a thief? You stole something from my sister-in-law and handed it to the old woman, causing trouble everywhere! You, you.”

Seeing Father Yang's appearance, Dapeng and Xiao Tong were both terrified, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Father Yang, "Father, don't be angry." After Xiao Tong finished speaking, she turned her head and gave Niu a look. Regretful and uncomfortable, he said: "Meizi, I never thought that you would be such a person with unclean hands and feet, that you would go to the sister-in-law's room to steal things. Not only that, but you also provoke the relationship between the whole family. That's all, that's all. We can't go on anymore, you talk too much, steal, you committed two out of seven, now I can only divorce you."

Niu's surname is Niu and his name is Mei.

As soon as these words came out, several people were dumbfounded. Niu stared at Xiao Tong in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what the man in his eyes said.Although Xu Cao and Shen Shi were surprised, they also knew that it would be a matter of time.

Mrs. Chen was dissatisfied, "Sanlang, why are you dissatisfied with Meizi? Isn't she thinking of our family? If your eldest brother gave this to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law wouldn't swallow it!"

Father Yang finally calmed down a bit. Hearing this, he jumped three feet high, rushed to Chen Shi, pointed at Chen Shi and said angrily: "What do you mean the boss swallowed it? The boss and the boss are not from the same family." What happened to her taking care of this thing? Fugui gave you a lot of household expenses every month, right? Now you are even greedy for what Fugui's mother left him, are you still a human?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stupid again.Chen stared blankly at the brocade box in her hand, and murmured: "It was actually left by her. She has been dead for 20 years, but this is the first time I have seen this thing. You and Fugui should keep it from me. Bitter."

Father Yang sneered and said, "I don't hide it from you? If I don't hide it from you, even the last little things she left for Fugui will be stolen by you. The dozens of taels of silver, jewelry, and other things she left behind will be stolen by you." It doesn't matter if you take it, this thing must be left to Fugui, and this is the only thing she asks to leave to Fugui and his wife."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she lifted the brocade box angrily and threw it on the ground.Father Yang's eyes were red, he pointed at Chen Shi and said angrily: "If you dare to smash it, we will not have to live in the future, we will all be scattered."

As soon as these words came out, Chen's raised hand slowly fell down, squatting on the ground and howling.

Seeing this, Old Man Yang rushed to Xu Cao and said, "Master, put away the things quickly, and you will keep this thing in the future. The rich and noble mother-in-law said that it is for your daughter-in-law, so this thing is yours." It’s over, keep it safe in the future, and don’t let petty thieves steal it.”

Niu's face turned red with embarrassment, and even Xiaotong's complexion was a little ugly.

"Thank you dad." Xu Cao said as she stepped forward and took the brocade box from Mrs. Chen's hand.Finally she breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen was also relieved when she saw that, at least there was a sensible elder in the family.

Looking at the empty hands, Mrs. Chen raised her head and gave Old Man Yang a hard look, and shouted, "I knew this day would be impossible. She's been dead for so many years, but you still haven't forgotten him. You're still biased." Her son and daughter-in-law, when did you take care of you Erlang Saburo and fourth sister?"

Hearing her mention of her dead ex-wife, Father Yang was full of resentment, and said angrily: "It's not that I haven't forgotten her, you are the one who made this life impossible? You have to bring her up every time you quarrel, and you want to call me How do you forget? How did I treat Dapeng, Xiaotong and Xiaoan badly? Tell me with your conscience, I don’t treat any of the children equally, but you, how do you treat the rich? Okay, since you said these days There’s no way to go about it, if I say I’m partial to the rich, then we’ll separate the family, and the rich and noble will go out to do it, so you’ll always be thinking about it!”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Xu Cao: "Boss, you will separate your family in the future. Our family has nothing, so we won't share it with you. Now you are just starting to live. The two houses on the west side are reserved by rich mothers-in-law. Those who came down, now you move here to live, two houses, one of you built a kitchen, and the other one will be occupied first. You and Fugui save some money, and when the money is enough, you can go out and build a house for yourself past."
