Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 30

The Chu family occupies one-fifth of the alley in Wutong Lane in the town. His family started with wood. It has gone through three generations to Mr. Chu's generation, and it is only a single pass. Mrs. Chu gave birth to three children, but two One is a daughter, the eldest daughter is married to the county, and the son is also married to the Chen family.During this period of time, Mr. Chu had a lot of business entertainment, and he often went to the county town to stay for eight or nine days, and he only came back yesterday.

Mrs. Chu came to Wu's house secretly. Second Master Ding has done business with his master for many years, and they live in the same town. They have a little friendship, and his master is the most loyal. If you let him know She thought of a way to harm Wu Ling's daughter-in-law, so she probably won't spare her, but Rui'er has been sitting in the room for the past two days and was unhappy. I have my eye on Wu Ling!"

She was about to scold Rui'er for a few words, but Rui'er hugged her, fell into her arms and began to cry. During these days, thinking of Rui'er's marriage every night made her so worried that she couldn't sleep. Now her daughter actually watched After being hit by Wu Ling, she just felt so bitter that she couldn't express it. If she had revealed her words to the Ding family earlier, maybe Rui'er would have gotten her wish now!
But yesterday, she had no choice but to persuade her earnestly: "Rui'er, if it were someone else, mother will surely grant your wish, but Wu Ling has already married a wife!"

Rui'er never let go, she just kept crying, the delicate girl she grew up in the palm of her hand for more than ten years, never let her suffer a little bit of grievance, now she just thinks that whatever her daughter wants, she will do it , was about to speak, but saw Rui'er wiped away her tears, looked at her firmly, and said, "Mother, I don't want to fulfill my wish either. He is a carpenter, and I think he is his blessing, but he is still married to Mrs. Zhang." Humiliate me together, mother, can you teach them a lesson, I don't want to see the two of them together, I want people in the town to look down on Zhang Shi when they see her!"

Mrs. Chu's heart skipped a beat at the time, she was really shocked by her daughter's words, Rui'er wanted her to ruin Zhang's reputation!She wanted to coax her daughter, this thing of ruining a woman's reputation will kill people, isn't this nonsense! "Rui'er, listen to your mother..."

Mrs. Chu's words were rolling in her throat, and Chu Rui looked at her fixedly: "Mother, as long as you help my daughter do this, my daughter will give up! Otherwise, my daughter will learn from Li Xiu'er!"

Li Xiu'er, that was the one who seduced Zhang's ex-husband. An unmarried girl was pregnant. Now who in the town doesn't gossip about Li Xiucai's family behind their backs.Mrs. Chu should not speak anymore.My daughter knows in her heart that she is very stubborn, but whatever she wants and wants to do, once it goes against her will, she will not let it go.Madam Chu immediately had a plan in mind.

In the past few days, she heard from the neighbors that Li Xiucai's family was having a lot of fun, and his son-in-law came to town every day to eat. Isn't Li Xiucai's son-in-law the ex-husband of Wu Ling's wife?As long as these two people get together, there will be no rumors in the town for a few days.

Mrs. Chu walked to the alley of her house, looked at the lights in the courtyard, felt bitter and unbearable, Zhao Wen was still at home, in order to avoid the presence of the master, she had to hide him in the ear room prepared for her little grandson.She and her daughter agreed to keep Mrs. Zhang at her house for one night, and ask Zhao Wen to send her back early tomorrow morning.However, Mrs. Zhang didn't coax him over, and the money given to Zhao Wen might not come back.Mrs. Chu walked towards the door of her house a little restlessly.

Before the door was pushed open, the door suddenly opened. Mr. Chu was standing in the courtyard, his son, daughter-in-law and daughter were all standing behind him, but none of the servants in the family saw it. Holding his sleeves, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why are you all in the courtyard? Could it be that you are waiting for me?"

Master Chu had no expression on his face, "Where did my lady go so late? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"I was gluttonous and ate two more mouthfuls at night, and my chest was so stuffy that I went out for a casual meal. Can my husband ask me for something?" Mrs. Chu said calmly, hiding her panic.

"I don't know Zhao Wen in the west side room, Madam, do you know what's going on? When you were not around, he ran into your daughter-in-law! Madam is in charge of the house. If this big living person enters our courtyard, don't say anything. I got into the room my daughter-in-law prepared for my little grandson, and I’m not in a hurry to go back tonight!” Master Chu looked at Mrs. Chu coldly, he really didn’t know that this daughter-in-law was so brainless, and she ruined his own family. reputation!The most important thing in business is reputation. Once this is done, there will be no good reputation in the town in the future. Who would want to do business with Chu Zhun, a family who ruins women's reputation.You must know that the roots of the Chu family are here!

Mrs. Chu looked at her master's black and blue face, but she didn't dare to defend herself. Could it be that she should push Rui'er out?Mrs. Chu's expression changed, she didn't expect Zhao Wen to confess everything to the master like this.No matter how unwilling I was, I had no choice but to admit it at this time, lowered my head, and said no more.For a while, he resented his daughter-in-law for being busy, and went to the ear room to do something, unconsciously glanced at the daughter-in-law standing next to her son from the corner of her eye.

Cheng was looking at her mother-in-law, and when she saw her glance at her from the corner of her eye, she felt a little uneasy. She just wanted to decorate the room for her unborn baby, but she didn't know that there was a big living person hidden in it, so she couldn't put her in the room. But I was taken aback.When I saw my mother-in-law, I was blaming myself, and pulled my husband's sleeve aggrievedly.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was still teasing him at this moment, Chu Yuan frowned and looked at her. Seeing her daughter-in-law bit her lip and bowed her head, she looked away.I don't know what my mother is thinking, what are you doing to provoke these things, my sister is a little kid, so I can't indulge her like this, he and Wu Ling still have two points of friendship!But after all, is it my own mother or not, so I took a step closer to my father and said, "Father, this is because mother and sister messed around together. Fortunately, nothing happened. You said it, mother and sister I will count them in the future, and I will not dare to mess around like this again."

Facing his eldest son, Chu Zhun has always been more patient than usual. At this time, the eldest son begged for mercy, but he didn't want to embarrass him. He paused for a moment and said: "Madam hasn't been back to Yue's house for a long time, go back and stay for a while Even today, don't meddle in Rui'er's marriage."

At her age, her parents are long gone, her niece and niece are all married, and she is an old aunt who goes back to live, so her brother and sister-in-law don't have to show her face.My master is letting me go back and be humiliated!Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu's face suddenly turned pale. If she was driven back to her mother's house to repent, how would she display her mother-in-law's money in front of her daughter-in-law in the future? Now, she looked at Master Chu and said, "Sir, brother and sister-in-law have a large population. , I don’t have a place to live when I go back!”

Master Chu trembled a little when he heard her voice. He had been married for so many years, and he had never given up on her like this. Looking at her face, he was a little panic-stricken. Thinking of the situation of her natal family, he couldn't bear it for a moment, but finally he was ruthless. There was no response.Looking back into the house.

The next day, as soon as Wu Ling and Zhang Mu left the alley, they saw Chu Yuan taking Mrs. Chu back to her natal home. Mrs. Chu was in the car and Chu Yuan, who was getting off the car, was giving instructions, and saw Wu Ling and Zhang Mu at the entrance of Baique Alley. After saying a word, he lowered the curtain and let the coachman go on his way.Her mother's family is in the mountains, so she probably won't be able to arrive until evening after all this trip. Hearing the sound of the wheels rolling and thinking of her sister-in-law's sharp mouth, Mrs. Chu felt restless.

Seeing the carriage go far away, Chu Yuan waved to Wu Ling. Although his mother's plan failed, he still reminded Wu Ling to be on guard against Zhao Wen. Seeing Zhang's smoky dress standing quietly By Wu Ling's side, he actually felt that the two were a good match, thinking of his mother's plot against Zhang Shi, he felt a little guilty.

"A Ling, I'm afraid you still don't know my mother's intentions about what happened yesterday. Zhao Wen was in my side room yesterday. I apologize to you and don't ask for your understanding." As he said that, Chu Yuan turned to Wu Ling and his wife made a deep bow.

Zhang Mu noticed that Wu Ling's body froze suddenly, he was suffocated, and tugged at Wu Ling's sleeve.Wu Ling took a deep breath, missed Chu Yuan's apology, and said with his head held high, "You and I grew up together, and I have a certain affection for you since I was a child, but your Chu family, it's not like this." It's too deceiving!"

Chu Yuan waited to open his mouth again, but saw Wu Ling walking away without looking back, holding Zhang Mutou. Chu Yuan stood up, looked at Wu Ling's straight back, and his eyes were a little sour. Wu Ling was an orphan since he was a child. It's not easy, but since my mother abused him like this!Thinking of Wu Ling's envious look at him every time he came to play at home when he was a child, he secretly usurped his fist, mother and sister really went too far this time!

Wu Ling took Zhang Mu directly to the shop, and Erye Ding was greeting the guests at the front. Seeing Wu Ling coming in with an angry face, he hurriedly called Erniang Ding to come out, and took Wu Ling to the backyard by himself.

"Father, the Chu family really deceived people too much this time!" As soon as Wu Ling entered the courtyard, he told Mrs. Chu what happened yesterday.He and Amu had only been married for a few days, and these people insulted her like this. When Wu Ling thought of the tricks of the mother-in-law of the Chu family, he felt so angry that he wanted to kill her. He had never seen such a vicious woman again.

"A Ling, don't worry, I will let the Chu family and the Zhao family give you an explanation for this matter. How dare they plot against you like this is truly despicable!" When Ding Erye heard that Wu Ling had met with him last night. Such a vicious thing made my heart tremble with anger!This is bullying Ah Ling is an orphan!Not to mention that he has already recognized A Ling as his adopted son, even if A Ling is only his apprentice, he will definitely give A Ling such bad breath.

Second Master Ding asked Wu Ling to weave bamboo baskets in the backyard. At this time, he didn't dare to let Wu Ling touch a sharp weapon like an axe. It would be bad if this kid ran out on impulse.After instructing his wife to pay attention to the young couple, he went to the Chu family and the Li family on his own.

However, Ding Erniang and Zhang Mu greeted the guests at the front, and if one of them didn't pay attention, Wu Ling disappeared, and there was also an ax for splitting wood!
