Flowers are expensive

Chapter 67
"never mind?"

"It's fine, nothing but a headache."

"Yo, there's a huge difference!" Mrs. Zhen shook her head lightly and said, "You can drink after all, I can't see that your fourth aunt is really a good drinker! Your third aunt just..."

"Hey hey..." As soon as Jin Ling'er was mentioned, Mo Xiang couldn't help laughing when she remembered her drunkenness.

"Shut your mouth, don't laugh! If your grandma sees it, she will definitely be scolded! Just now when she was cooking in the kitchen, she scolded your fourth aunt from head to toe several times. By the way, with Your fourth aunt said no? Don't come down, lest you get scolded!"

"Don't worry, I told my aunt! Hehe..."

"Stop laughing!"

"Mother, don't you think it's funny?" Zhen couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "If you want to laugh, go back to the room and laugh later, don't let your grandma see it, she is very angry today! But you Third Aunt really can't see that kind of virtue!"

At dinner, Jin Ling'er hadn't woken up yet, so Lihua naturally didn't come downstairs.Aunt Xie's complexion was very bad, and she asked Man Ting, who was sitting opposite to eat, "Is your wife still awake? How long are you going to sleep?"

Man Ting replied slowly: "Tomorrow morning."

"You two," Mrs. Xie said, pointing at Man Ting and Man Sheng with her chopsticks, "Are you a bit promising? You don't care if you let your daughter-in-law drink together outside? Next time, if you do this again, neither of them will be allowed. Come in, do you hear me?"

"En." The two brothers responded softly.

"Also, no one is allowed to mention Jin Ling'er's drunkenness today..." Before Aunt Xie finished speaking, Mo Xiang and Man Xiang laughed at the same time, they couldn't help it!She raised her eyebrows, and shouted: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" The two of them quickly suppressed their laughter, and put food into their mouths vigorously.She said again: "Then what does she know when she's drunk? We're all one family, so don't laugh at her, you know?"

Mrs. Guan said: "Your mother is right, who knows what it's like to be drunk? It's not like the whole family doesn't like this. So, don't make fun of Jin Ling'er, you can't tell It's that kind of virtue that you yourself are drunk!"

Aunt Xie breathed a sigh of relief, because it was rare for Mrs. Guan to say a word for Jin Ling'er.She nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, Jin Ling'er didn't think about it herself. If the family members make fun of her, how can she hold her head up?"

"From now on, give Jin Ling'er less alcohol, it's best not to drink it. Her father let her go, but now that she is married to our Xie family, she can't follow her temper. Look at her chopping here with a knife today. Isn't it scary there?"

"Isn't the fourth daughter-in-law all to blame? If she hadn't yelled to drink with Jin Ling'er, wouldn't Jin Ling'er have gotten drunk?"

"What's your name? It's called nitpicking!" Guan looked at Aunt Xie with a little dissatisfaction and said, "Do you know that Jin Ling'er was drunk and went crazy? Even you don't know, maybe even her own father doesn't know , where does Lihua know where to go? Besides, did Lihua force Jin Linger to drink that wine? If she doesn't want to show off, can she compete with Lihua for wine?"

Auntie Xie couldn't answer her words.Guan said again: "I know you love Jin Ling'er, don't like pear blossoms..."

"Mom, I don't mean that..."

"What's wrong?" Guan suddenly raised her voice, "Now she is really the mother-in-law of four daughters-in-law, dare to talk back to me?"

The atmosphere on the table was suddenly wrong!Even Man Cheng, the eldest son of the Xie family, had never seen Guan get angry at his mother, let alone anyone else.Only then did everyone understand that Guan's anger was quite scary, and his face was quite gloomy!

No matter how upset Aunt Xie was, she was bluffed.These years, she and Guan have gotten along very well.Guan is a very kind person and doesn't get angry easily. Except that she offended Guan when she sold the whole house to the farm behind Guan's back, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law almost never blush in recent years.She never expected that Guan Shi would be really angry today.

Xie Wu touched Mrs. Xie with his foot under the table, and then said to Mrs. Guan: "Mother, eat and eat! If there is anything to do, we can sit down and talk about it after dinner. The younger generation will look at you Well, don't frighten them."

Only then did Guan's face soften a little, and he put down his chopsticks and asked Aunt Xie: "Daughter-in-law Xie Wu, tell me, how many times have I been angry with you since you have been married to Xie's family for decades?" Aunt Xie lowered her head , blushing: "Just...just twice..."

"You have a good memory, once you sold the whole house to the village behind my back, right? And then, it's about today, right?"

"Yes……"

"Meeting a mother-in-law like me, are you lucky or unlucky?" Guan stared at her and asked.

"Then... that's naturally good!" Aunt Xie was telling the truth. It's really rare to meet such a reasonable mother-in-law as Guan.Seeing how other daughter-in-laws lived happily under her mother-in-law's hands, she often felt very lucky.Therefore, she respects Guan from the bottom of her heart.

"You have been married to Xie's family for decades, and I only got mad at you twice. What about you? It's only been a few days since Lihua came in, how many times have you scolded her? I always say that the family should be harmonious. Yes. It’s not that the whole family has become a family now, you just try to make you feel comfortable, and you don’t care about Lihua and Manting’s feelings? You’re really a mother-in-law, and you can scold whoever you want, right? ? You live too comfortably in my hands, do you want me to scold you several times a day like you scolded Lihua, so that you will know what it feels like?"

Aunt Xie's face turned redder and redder. After all, this was the first time Guan had scolded herself in front of the younger generation.But she didn't dare to talk back to Guan Shi, so she could only lower her head and listen.

Xie Wu wanted to say something, but was scared back by his mother's eyes.Guan said again: "You have a better life than me. You have four sons. As for me, I only have one son like Xie Wu. Anyway, I won't live long, so you should give me a few days to live a good life, even if it's not very good. If you like Lihua, treat her better, okay?"

Madam Xie dare to say no?She nodded hurriedly, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, I won't scold her easily in the future. Mother, your words are too much, you have a long life! Man Sheng Man Ting has not given you Tim great-grandson, you have to take care of yourself."

"If you don't listen to your scolding, I will take care of myself."

"Yes yes yes... From now on, I will order less cursing."

"Don't forget, you are lucky. You have better luck than me. You have four daughters-in-law instead of one. In the future, there will be a large group of children and grandchildren who will line up to kowtow and offer tea to you. Then you will know how to thank you." I'm sick," Guan's complexion finally returned to normal, and he picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat!" The solemn atmosphere dissipated, and everyone ate their meals carefully. I lost my appetite after half a bowl.

After Guan Shi left the table, Xie Wu hurriedly helped her back to the room.After she sat down, she sighed softly and said, "You don't blame your mother for training your daughter-in-law in front of your son-in-law and grandchildren today, do you?"

Xie Wu brought a bowl of tea and said: "You scolded your daughter-in-law, what am I blaming you for? She has become a lot more tempered recently because of Lihua's entrance, she should be scolded! Come on, mother, drink some tea to moisten your throat You must be tired from what you said just now, right?"

"It's been a long time since I started lecturing people, and I'm really tired..." Guan looked at the knife wrapped in tiger skin hanging on the wall and said, "Probably, the day when your father comes to pick me up is not far away. Xie Wu hurriedly said: "Mom, I don't want to say such depressing words! If this family loses you, it will become a mother and become confused again in the future. Who will scold you? Are you not feeling well recently?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I suddenly heard you mention Uncle Zhao today. You haven't mentioned him for many years. Could it be that someone from the Zhao family came to you?"

Guan looked at his son thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you still remember that Uncle Zhao?"

Xie Wu nodded lightly and said: "Although I was only eight or nine years old at the time, I don't remember very clearly, but I still have some impressions of Uncle Zhao's appearance. He is very tall and strong, and he can easily lift me above his head. Dad is a brother who worships, right?"

"Yeah...it's unexpected that you still remember."

"I still remember the last time I saw him, it was at the gate of Qingyue City. That year you and Dad took me back to Zique Village, and he personally delivered it to the gate, touched my head and said: 'Xiao Wuzi, there will be a period later! Grow up Yes, uncle gave you a daughter-in-law.'”

"Hehehe..." Guan couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that, you didn't remember anything, but you remembered what Uncle Zhao said that he would give you a daughter-in-law."

"By the way, Uncle Zhao is still alive?" The smile on Guan's face faded like a fading flower, and his eyes dimmed instantly.Xie Wu noticed something, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that he, like father... has passed away?" After a moment of silence, Mrs. Guan nodded heavily and said: "Yes, he has passed away. Dad passed away earlier." "But why haven't you and dad mentioned it before?"

"Everyone has already gone, so what are you doing here?" Guan looked at Xie Wu cautiously and said, "Ah Wu, forget everything about Uncle Zhao! If you can't forget it, just leave it at In your heart, don't tell anyone. If I really go one day..."

"mother!"

"Don't interrupt, listen to me!" Guan said with a serious expression, "If one day I really go looking for your father, no matter who mentions Uncle Zhao to you, you have to say that you don't know him. Just remember one thing, At the beginning, father and mother only went out of the mountain to do some small business, traveled all over the mountains and rivers and gave birth to you, and then took you back to Zique Village, and never went out of the mountain again, understand?"

Xie Wu nodded and said: "Understood. But mother, I'm really puzzled, can't you tell me who Uncle Zhao is?"

"As I said, everyone else has gone. Why are you talking about those things? You just need to remember what I just said. When your father and I chose to take you back to Zique Village, we just wanted to live in peace and quiet. live, do you understand?"

Xie Wu is a very filial son, he knew that there must be a reason why his mother didn't say anything, so he didn't continue to ask, although this doubt has been lingering in his mind for many years.After leaving Guan's room, Xie Wu was still immersed in his own memories and confusion.Aunt Xie, who was walking towards him, asked him: "Is mother still angry?" "No, she has always been a lot, and she won't get angry easily."

"But looking at her face tonight..." Xie Wu didn't wait for Mrs. Xie to finish speaking, and dragged her back to their room.Aunt Xie said with some grievances: "Mother has never scolded me in front of the juniors, but tonight it's a good start! I just don't understand, why mother protects the fourth son's daughter-in-law so much?"

Xie Wu frowned slightly and looked at his daughter-in-law, then shook his head lightly and said, "Don't you even understand this? Naturally, it's because of Man Ting. Mother feels that the family owes Man Ting, so she is partial. This Is it different from your preference for the third daughter-in-law? Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Can it be the same? Jinling'er is pure and innocent, a girl from a good family. She grew up under our noses when she was young. She knows her roots and background. You and I know what kind of person she is. But what about Qin Lihua? Bianjing City Do you know who is from that big place, where is his hometown, and who else is in the family? That girl never said that! You just think that I don’t feel sorry for Man Ting, or for the suffering he has suffered away from home all these years ? Isn't it because of distress that you want to find a good wife for him? Isn't that wrong?"
