pastoral wedding

Chapter 8 A farce

"What the hell, they are all my brothers, but it's just a little calf, and it's worth holding it in your hands like this? If you don't give it to us, isn't it cheaper for others?" Qin said while pointing to Liu Shugang's face , "I've never seen such a wimpy man like you! You're just a little calf. If you don't come to ask me to come, and don't make you ashamed, who else will you show me like this..."

Before she finished talking there, Mrs. Liu on this side has already shaken off the hand of her sister-in-law, stepped forward and said forcefully: "I think my second brother is useless, okay, then let my second brother divorce you. Whoever you see is not worthless, you go to whom!"

"Little sister!" "Qing Cui!"

As soon as Liu's words came out, sisters-in-law Jiang and Su Wenshan hurriedly stopped them. After all, this is family affairs, how can you, a girl, ask your brother to divorce his wife.

Liu Shugang also looked over in surprise, but saw his sister glaring at him viciously, immediately lowered his head, thought for a while and then looked at Qin, squatted down on the ground, clasped his head in his hands and said angrily: "It doesn't matter. Well, it's good to get rid of her, so that I won't be able to lift my head up in the village day by day, and lose our old Liu family."

"What did you say? Are you going to divorce me? Do you dare to say it again?"

The Qin family went into a rage when she heard the words, and asked jumping feet, but she was still a little uneasy. This willow tree has always been soft, but this time it has been emboldened by ambition and leopards?
"I just want to divorce you," Liu Qingcui answered, "It stands to reason that I, a girl, can't stand up for my elder brother, but look at what you have forced my second elder brother into? For the sake of the two nephews, I don't care about you, but now you are going too far, and you even made a fuss with your elder brother and sister-in-law. As the saying goes, the elder brother is the father, our family is no better than other families, parents leave earlier, and it is all up to the elder brother to take care of them. We are two brothers and sisters, how dare you bully them like this, you will take advantage of you if you are divorced, when the eldest brother comes back, we will invite the patriarch to come, second brother, you should go and write about Hugh first, and then throw it in her face Come on, let's see if she dares to play tricks on our house!"

"You..." Qin was really dumbfounded now, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the situation like this, Mrs. Jiang stepped forward to persuade: "Sister, don't be angry, it's my sister-in-law's fault, but it's just a calf. I didn't want to give it to the town because I wanted to sell it for some after the new year. The money was given to the eldest brother to set the marriage. I was confused. The eldest brother is still young, so there is no need to be so anxious. This cow is given to the second younger brother and sister first. forget it."

Liu Qingcui pursed her lips and said nothing, Su Wenshan couldn't get involved at the moment, so she gave Sister Su Tang a few winks.

Su Tang stepped forward and pulled her mother's arm, and persuaded: "Mother, this matter can't be settled in a short while, no matter what happens, we have to wait for uncle to come back. Besides, there are so many people outside, it's not good If you keep arguing like this, outsiders will see the joke, so let's talk in the house."

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly followed up with a few words of persuasion, and then Liu Qingcui moved a step and entered the main room, and everyone followed in. Those who were watching the excitement outside couldn't see it, so they all dispersed.

Everyone sat down casually, Qin Shi stood aside aggrieved and did not dare to speak, but kept looking at Liu Shi.

As soon as Liu Shu saw it, his heart softened, but knowing his sister's temper, he didn't dare to plead for his mother-in-law easily.

Seeing this, Su Jin smiled and shook her mother's arm, "Mother, didn't you bring a few pieces of cotton cloth and said it was for the first aunt and second aunt? The first cousin is getting engaged soon, and the first aunt just happens to be able to Useful."

"That's right," Qin said involuntarily when she heard something, "It's still girl Jin who is sensible. This cotton cloth was given to my second aunt, and your second cousin will soon reach the age of marriage. Let's not talk about it as a family From the conversation between the two families, I just see that Jin'er is a good-natured girl, and she looks good, although the eldest of our family is a bit older, but the second child just happens to..."

"You mother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and shut up!" Liu Shugang was really annoyed by her. Earlier, she had talked to herself about falling in love with the third girl of the sister's family, but the girl's thoughts He also knew a little bit, how could his second child be worthy of him, he told her several times, he thought she understood, who would have thought that he would still be so confused!
Qin Shi was scolded, and only then remembered her current situation, and hurriedly apologized with a smile and dared not speak anymore.

Liu Qingcui didn't bother to talk to her any more, she just turned to talk to Jiang Shi.Su Jin rolled her eyes and went over, cooperating with her and trying to help her out, but she still missed her. My third cousin is a good one, but it's not good for a close relative to get married, right?And since I'm still so young, I don't have that thought.

Not long after, Liu Shumin, the eldest of the Liu family, came back. He was in his early thirties, wearing a navy blue padded jacket, and he was very tidy, which showed that Jiang was a housekeeper.

Behind him was a young man of sixteen or seventeen, and a young girl who was about the same age as Su Jin. She was dressed in bright yellow and had two deep dimples on her face.

Seeing Liu Shumin came back, everyone got up hurriedly, Liu Shi even told him what happened just now, and then stared at his second brother angrily and said: "Brother, tell me, what should we do about this matter?" ? If the second brother agrees to divorce the second sister-in-law, I will pay for the remarriage, so I must find someone as virtuous as the elder sister-in-law."

When Qin heard this, she was about to explode again, but Liu Shugang gave her a stare and dared not say any more. She just looked at Liu Shumin eagerly, hoping that he could discipline her meddling sister-in-law.

Liu Shumin calmly took the big bowl of tea from his daughter Liu Ya'er, took a big sip, and said, "Ya'er took your sisters and brother Shuo to your house to eat some fruit."

The juniors hurriedly retreated after hearing the words, Sister Su Jin and Liu Ya'er went to her room to talk, Brother Shuo was taken to buy candy by his eldest cousin Liu Yi.

"Qingcui, let's forget about this matter. I know your second sister-in-law well. If you want to blame it, you can blame your second brother for not being able to handle it." Liu Shumin said and glanced at his second brother. It's not something that outsiders can see clearly. The elder brother knows that you are doing it for the good of our family, but your two nephews are about to reach the age of marriage. If you divorce your second sister-in-law, even if you marry another one, how can you be sincere? Take care of them, listen to the elder brother, forget it."

Now that the elder brother had spoken, Liu Qingcui stopped pestering her, and she could only stay at home for a day and a half, and she didn't want to be so stiff, so she nodded.

When Qin saw it, he immediately put a smile on his face, and he didn't say anything about asking for a cow. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves, pulled his sister-in-law Jiang and said: "Today, a rare girl and her family come back, we have to do something. Okay, sister-in-law, what kind of vegetables do you have at home, or I will ask Brother Yi to buy some meat, and I will call your two nephews over later, and we will have a reunion dinner at noon."

Don't take anything, just want to take advantage!Liu's Liu Qingcui curled her lips, and after seeing her husband-in-law's eyes, she just said tactfully: "No need, I brought some meat, and the second sister-in-law can just cook it." Shi's hand walked to her bedroom, and said as he walked, "Then I will trouble the second sister-in-law."

Qin opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but rolled her eyes again, and answered.Su Jin saw it lying on the window sill in the room, and looked at her cousin Liu Ya'er who was only two months younger than herself in surprise, "Ya'er, why do you think the second aunt is so talkative today?"

Liu Ya'er poked her head out to take a look, pouted for Su Tang and said, "Second Aunt, you still don't know? How can she do things that are not beneficial, she must be doing it for the sake of stealing."

Several people were talking, when they saw Mrs. Qin coming in from outside the house, they all stopped talking, Su Tang smiled and said, "What's the matter with Second Aunt?"

Qin's yin and yang said strangely: "I can't live better than your mother and aunt. I have to go to the kitchen to cook, and I don't have a girl who can help me. I said, girl Tang, you are old and young. You must be at home. It's the cook, let's go and help the second aunt."

Su Tang agreed and was about to go, when Liu Ya'er hurriedly said: "Big cousin, you can rest and let me go, I am used to doing housework." After saying that, she was about to stand up.

Su Tang pushed her down and sat down, "You are still young, play with the third girl here, I'll just go."

Su Shuang also stood up, nodded to them and left with Su Tang.Su Jin dragged Liu Ya'er to sit down again, and asked about her eldest cousin Liu Yi's marriage.

Soon it will be the New Year, and every household is busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and steaming rice cakes. Children are all dressed in new clothes, eating such and such fruits happily with their hands in their hands.

The Su family has also been really quiet for a few days. No one wants to be in trouble for the Chinese New Year. Even the Lu family is smiling and watching a few grandchildren playing in the yard. The caramel was divided into points, and even Su Tang and the older ones got two pieces.

This new year didn't end until the [-]th day. On the [-]th day, Brother Shuo went out to play with a few boys from the neighbor's house and came back, clamoring to go home.Everyone didn't know what it was for, so they were busy asking, and Brother Shuo coyly said that he heard that there would be fireworks in the town this year, so he was anxious to go back and watch.

Although there is a Lantern Festival every year in this Qingshi town, there are very few fireworks, so the eyes of the little ones lit up when they heard it.

When the old lady saw it, she said that she would have dinner early in the afternoon, and if anyone wanted to watch the fireworks, she asked Su Wenshan to drive the family's ox cart and take them with her.Everyone was immediately happy, even Xiao Lu was eager to pull up Liu's sleeves to cook, only to realize that it was a bit too early when the old lady glared at her.

In the afternoon, the Su family really ate dinner early. The mother and daughter of the Liu family packed their clothes early, and when they were about to return to the town, they went home and never came back again. If Brother Shuo stayed for a few days, Su Wenshan knew that Liu would also be reluctant, so he shied away and said that he would go to school on the fifteenth day, and sent him back when he was on vacation another day.The old lady just gave up.
