Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 16

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, Yuan Shi, cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen. In the past, the three daughter-in-laws of the Zhao family took turns to cook, but the newcomer Li Xiuer refused to do it on the pretext of being pregnant. I had to make it once, but the porridge was all mushy, and Li Xiuer was still yelling about her stomach ache from the heat in the kitchen. It just so happened that Mrs. Hong came to see her daughter that day, and she pointed at Mrs. Zhao's nose and cursed on the spot. Xiucai helped him pave the way, and persuaded Mrs. Zhao in private for a long time, but Mrs. Zhao had to let him go reluctantly, so Li Xiuer didn't have to cook.

However, the eldest daughter-in-law Yuan and daughter-in-law Xu of the Zhao family who were also pregnant before did not have such good luck.At this time, Yuan Shi heard the commotion outside and someone was smashing things again, so she hurriedly poked her head out to look, and then immediately retreated. There are so many people, her husband can't come out, and she was anxious and didn't dare to move for a while.

Both Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang were studying in the room. Zhenzhen of Zhao Dalang's family was still lying on the bed, woken up by the noise outside, and was about to cry with her mouth puckered. Zhao Dalang didn't have time to coax her, and hurriedly let his son who was practicing calligraphy Le Kang went to coax his younger sister, and seeing his son's little shoulders trembling in fear, he said in a slow voice: "Look at my younger sister in the room, and don't come out when you hear any sounds, dad will come soon!" Said After finishing, he ran to the courtyard in a hurry.

Zhao Erlang was held back by Mrs. Xu, who was doing embroidery work in the room. Mrs. Xu peeped out the window, hugged Zhao Li's arm, and said anxiously, "There are so many people outside, and they are all farmers. Plowing the fields, one of them can beat you twice! Didn’t you just get beat up by them for nothing when you went out?”

Seeing that Zhao Erlang was still stubbornly going out, Xu burst into tears, "If you are injured, I don't have any money on hand to take care of you. Mother will definitely take care of my uncle wholeheartedly and won't care about us!"

Zhao Erlang frowned, but said sharply: "As a woman, if I don't even care about my own brother, am I still a human being?" No matter how biased my mother is, the third child is still his younger brother!

Seeing that the three brothers of the Zhao family were all together, Zhang Shu sneered and said, "I didn't expect there to be Haoerlang in the Zhao family!" Seeing the resolute faces of Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang, he said disdainfully, "The whole family is inferior to animals. My sister and I don't want to talk about it, and I come to the door again and again to find bad luck! I really think that I, Zhang Shu, are easy to bully!"

Seeing Zhang Dalang's stern eyes, Zhao Wen unconsciously moved behind the two elder brothers.

Both Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang glanced at their younger brother with resentment, they were happy when they caused trouble, and now they want to hide, but seeing the people from Shuiyang Village, they don't want to embarrass their younger brother in front of outsiders, they all frowned He frowned without making a sound.

Zhang Dalang picked up the stick in the corner, pointed at Zhao Wen, and asked, "What did you provoke Wu Ling last time?"

When Zhao Wen heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he argued forcefully: "I didn't say anything, but it's not easy to tell Brother Wu Ling, Amu, I hope he will treat her well in the future!" Zhao Wen swallowed after finishing speaking. .

"Oh! You can be so kind, if you have such a conscience, I, Zhang Shu, will have the same surname as you!" Zhang Shu laughed angrily at Zhao Wen's words. "Since you don't tell the truth, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless!"

"My brothers in Shuiyang Village, just don't kill or maim people for a while!" Zhang Shu said loudly.

When Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang heard this, they both took a step back involuntarily.

"No! This has nothing to do with my Dalang, you can't beat him! Brother Jun, my sister is your second sister-in-law, how can you bully your own family!" Yuan Shi saw her sister's uncle early in the morning, and this time When he saw that his husband was about to be beaten, he didn't care about being afraid, and ran over from the kitchen with his arms outstretched, protecting Zhao Dalang, and crying sadly to Brother Jun who was standing behind Zhang Shu.

The second sister-in-law of Xiaolang of the Yang family is indeed a sister of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. Brother Jun knows it. Hearing Da Yuan's words at this time, he said: "Auntie, look at what you said, I don't think so. Do it to Brother Zhi!" In terms of closeness, Amu and I grew up together!Brother Jun muttered in his heart.

"It has nothing to do with my husband, and you can't beat him. My husband has never treated Zhang Mu harshly!" Xu also ran out of the room holding her crying son, Le Ping, and stood in front of Zhao Erlang. Miaomiao lay timidly on the edge of the door.

The people in Shuiyang Village couldn't do anything to women and children for a while, so they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all looked at Zhang Shu, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Okay, this matter really has nothing to do with your two families. As long as Zhao Da and Zhao Er don't stop us, we will naturally not touch him!" Zhang Shu said in a deep voice.My father and Zhao's father still have a certain affection, so we can't let Zhao's father feel too disappointed.

At that moment, both Yuan Shi and Xu Shi took their husband-in-law back. Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang were moved when they saw their daughter-in-law protecting them like this, but they couldn't leave their brother and ignore them, so they all yelled at them in low voices. Noisy!

For a while there were cries of women and children, and men's scolding, and the courtyard of Zhao's house was boiling like a pot of boiling water.

Mrs. Zhao was lying on the window, holding her voice and listening with her ears up. When she heard the two daughters-in-law not letting the eldest and second child help the third son, she cursed in her heart, "You two white-eyed wolves, I will not punish you severely in the future!"

For a moment, he remembered that Li Xiu'er didn't even go out to protect San'er, he was worse than these two white-eyed wolves, and felt even more resentful, it was all caused by this little vixen, otherwise Zhang Mu would still be doing embroidery at her house to earn money Woolen cloth!Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly opened the window and shouted: "It's all caused by that vixen Li Xiu'er. If she hadn't seduced my Wen'er and was pregnant, how could my Wen'er let Zhang Mu go home! Zhang Mu My family has always been very diligent, and although I treat her harshly, I still like her in my heart! Nephew of the Zhang family, if you have to find someone to beat you up, you can take it out on Li Xiuer!"

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned, Li Xiu'er is pregnant now!How could the Zhao family bring a pregnant woman out!
When Zhao Wen heard this, his eyes lit up.

Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang also pursed their lips and said nothing, this is not their daughter-in-law, the third younger brother is here, he doesn't say anything, let alone their turn to care!

Li Xiu'er originally saw that her husband went out to open the door, but she didn't take it seriously, she was lying on the bed to feed her stomach, her mother came over yesterday to bring brown sugar and eggs, but these things would not go into her mouth after entering the kitchen, she didn't expect it for a while Method, I put them all under the bed, and I was thinking about how to eat them, if I knew it, I would have agreed to take turns to cook!Hearing the sound of smashing and smashing outside, he got up immediately, opened the window and took a look, then stayed in the room obediently and listened to the movement in fright.

At this time, when she heard her mother-in-law push her out to do the job, she was so frightened that her mind went blank for a moment, "I can't just admit it like this, I won't let so many people beat me to death!" Running outside, I shouted: "I don't know anything! My husband taught me! He told me to find Zhang Mu! I agree that my husband took her back! Why are you still bullying me! "

Zhang Shu was so noisy that he couldn't turn his head, and he couldn't hear what Li Xiuer was crying, but Brother Jun next to him was shocked when he heard it.

Zhang Shu saw Li Xiu'er, who came out with her belly outstretched, with a thin body, her face was sunken, and her big protruding eyes frightened everyone!I knew in my heart that the Zhao family had committed crimes again, and this was another girl who was cheated!

Zhang Shu waved his hand to Li Xiu'er, and said, "Go into the house, and just don't provoke my sister in the future!"

Seeing that Zhang Shu was so talkative, Li Xiuer was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the husband who was hiding behind the uncle and second uncle, and wanted to intercede, but seeing Zhang Shu's cold face, he opened his mouth and endured it, and walked quickly back to the house inside.I thought about going home tomorrow, my mother-in-law is too bad!
Seeing that Li Xiu'er had returned to the house safe and sound, Mrs. Zhao shrank back into the house and did not dare to make a sound!Just keep your ears open.

But I found that it was suddenly quiet outside, and even my little grandson Miaomiao stopped crying. Mrs. Zhao didn't know what happened, and she was even more panicked, and she didn't dare to open the window to look. And broke her old bones, so I had to listen with uneasy ears.

In the courtyard, when Zhang Shu saw Father Zhao kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, his heart was full of bitterness. Such a good old man knelt there silently at this moment, waved his hand, and led the people of Shuiyang Village away!Before leaving, he kicked Zhao Wen twice, Zhao Wen protected his hands, not daring to move.

After Zhang Mu waited for Zhang Dalang to go out, he tidied up in the kitchen and went out to pick up some firewood. Everyone had to eat at home at noon today, so they had to get ready early in the morning.

Taozi asked Mrs. Wang to help her to buy vegetables in the town. Niu Dalang followed her to Xishui Village today. Taozi and Mrs. Wang had to go to the Yang family to rent a car. But the Yang family has a lot of land, so they work at home when the farming is busy, and they don't go out to deliver goods, but if any family in the village needs a car, they can also rent it.When Yuan Shi saw Zhang's daughter-in-law coming to rent a car, she snorted disdainfully. Tao Zi ignored her and only asked Yang Erlang if it was okay.

We all belong to the same village, so Yang Erlang agreed and gave Little Yuan a dissatisfied look!

Little Yuan curled her lips, twisted her body and went back to her room.

When Tao Zi and Mrs. Wang came back from the town, Zhang Mu had already cooled the tea, baked a pot of scallion pancakes, and was kneading glutinous rice balls. The sesame stuffing inside was made by Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Wang made a sauced pig's trotter, which she was good at. Mrs. Zhang cooked a dish of braised crucian carp. Tao Zi made some vegetarian dishes, mixed a pot of cucumber and a pot of vegetable melon.When Zhang Dalang and his party came back, Brother Jun smelled the aroma in the kitchen, swallowed hard, and ran to the kitchen.

When Mrs. Zhang saw him coming in, she said with a smile, "I'm already married, and I can't change my gluttony. Go and sit in the room, and he'll be here in a while!"

Brother Jun was embarrassed by the words, scratched his head, and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood, so I came in to ask for a bowl of water."

"Okay, you go and sit in the room, I'll let Amu Duan pass!" Mrs. Zhang didn't expose him any more, and pushed him to the main room. Those who are optimistic about Brother Jun are just that Brother Jun is one year younger than Amu, and Mrs. Yang did not show her words when she was alive. Later, she ordered a girl who was three years old for Brother Jun early in the morning, and Mrs. Zhang also agreed. Give up.

When I went to Xishui Village today, I only smashed things and didn't fight the Zhao family. Everyone felt much more relaxed than when they went.The atmosphere in the Zhangjiatang room was much more lively than before.Brother Jun took Zhang Shu to the door and said, "Brother Shu, I think there is still something wrong with the Zhao family. Did you hear Li Xiuer say that Zhao Wen wants to take Amu as a child!"

"I knew there must be ghosts in the Zhao family. I didn't expect Zhao Wen's heart to be so rotten! He wanted to ruin Amu's life!" Zhang Dalang clenched his fists, regretting deeply. If you soften your heart, you should have broken Zhao Wen's leg at that time!I'm afraid the last time he blocked Wu Ling was also related to this matter.

Zhang Dalang looked up and saw his younger sister coming over with tea, walking briskly, with a smile on his face, and a little relaxed in his heart, his younger sister is much more angry than before, this time he will definitely protect her!
