Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 45

Wen Yue didn't want to talk too much with them, and Man'er, who was sleeping soundly, turned over, so she pretended to take care of Man'er and only nodded to them.Guo Liniang didn't care, instead, she praised Zhou Xianli's embroidery, and within a few words, she became acquainted with Zhou Xianli.Wen Yue also had to admit that this Guo Liniang knew how to please others, and she seemed so sincere when coaxing others.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li didn't come back until almost noon. In the past, Zhou Xianli had already left at this time, but today, because she had a good chat with Guo Liniang, she even forgot the time.At this time, Guo Liniang was telling Zhou Xianli what she had seen along the way, trying her best to exaggerate the prosperity of the big city.

And all of this was too attractive for a Zhou Xianli who hadn't even been out of Zhoujiabao a few times.Seeing that Zhou Xianli's eyes were shining, and she seemed to be ready to go out for a tour immediately, Wen Yue had no choice but to interrupt: "Xianli, it's getting late, or you can stay at home for dinner Bar."

Zhou Xianli said "ah", stood up hurriedly and said to Wen Yue with a blushing face: "No, no need, I was too negligent, and I talked for so long, my mother should be anxious at home. Sister Yueniang , I’ll go back first, and come back tomorrow.”

After seeing off Zhou Xianli, Wen Yue and Mrs. Li set up the meals together, and Fang Tongye sat on the main seat with his sleeves slumped. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to have seen it, and Mrs. Wen didn't seem to notice it. I felt that only Mrs. Li was frightened and fidgeted a little, and Mrs. Zhao yelled: "Eat your meal", and Mrs. Li hurriedly picked up the bowl.

Guo Liniang pulled Guo Lixue, who was about to speak, to signal her to keep quiet, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became weird.Suddenly, Fang Tongye put his chopsticks heavily on the table: "Mother, how can people live in that house now? It's icy cold inside. If Sister Guo Li lives in it, how will she be able to bear it?"

He finally couldn't help but find a way out for himself, and said what he wanted to say by himself.

"Why can't we live? How much warmer was it when we first came? Seeing that spring will start in two months, let's persevere. If it doesn't work, they will go to the town to get everything in order. Once the fire is on It will be warm." After eating all the rice grains in the bowl, Mrs. Zhao put down the bowl and said with emotion: "Oh, the life at home is getting worse and worse. Let me inform you that our lunch will be reduced tomorrow. Eat only two meals a day."

"Mom!" Fang Tongye yelled in disbelief.

"Mother, what mother, you want to breastfeed. One day, the mother screamed!" Zhao turned his head and cursed Fang Tongye with a loud voice.In the past few days, she had really endured enough with her colleagues in the other party. She originally wanted to worry about Guo Liniang and the others, and didn't want to lose his face in front of outsiders.But looking at it now, this colleague doesn't need to save face at all: "If you want to eat three meals, you go to make money. There are so many people in the family, how can there be any surplus food to eat? Didn't you see that Dachuan went up the mountain today? Why? Don't you know if you want to enter the mountain?"

The meal broke up so badly, Guo Lixue frowned and asked Guo Liniang in a low voice: "Sister, what should we do now?"

"Let's go!" Guo Liniang said cruelly, "Let's move out, but not now. Tomorrow we will find a way to enter the town and replenish some of the original things at home. Damn old woman, you really think I really like living here, hmph!"

Guo Lixue nodded, since she was beaten by Guo Liniang that day, she has returned to the attitude of following Guo Liniang's lead, so Guo Liniang is very satisfied.

I don't know who Guo Liniang and the others looked for, they actually found an ox cart and entered the town in such a cold day. Of course, they couldn't do without Fang Tongye who played the role of flower protector.Before leaving, Fang Tongye insisted on asking Zhao for money, saying that he was going to the town to buy pens and inks, but Zhao couldn't resist, so he reluctantly took 500 Wen and handed it to him.

But Fang Tongye couldn't be satisfied, seeing that Mrs. Zhao wanted no money, he even took away the rabbit that Fang Dachuan went hunting in the mountains yesterday when he was about to leave the house.When Mrs. Zhao found out, Fang Tongye had already left. She was so angry that she jumped in the yard and cursed, saying that she must have committed a great crime in her previous life to give birth to such an unfilial son as Fang Tongye.

When Fang Tongye came back in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhao, who was still angry, hit Fang Tongye twice. Although she was puzzled, she had no other choice.In this way, after a few days of busy work, Guo Liniang and Guo Lixue finally moved out of Fang's house. By coincidence, Wen Yue and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Fang Tongye who was going to see him off, thinking that he has been busy these days, which makes people angry.I can only tell myself to bear it any longer, the scourge has already been removed, and he should be fine if he is held back.When they finally couldn't see their backs, Mrs. Zhao let out a long breath and said, "I finally left, you don't know, as soon as I saw the eyes of those two women rolling around all day , I’m so flustered.”

"Grandma, you have already left, so you don't have to think about it. We can just live our own lives in the future." Wen Yue stepped forward to comfort her.

Mrs. Zhao snorted: "I don't think it's that easy. Look at your father-in-law, he looks so old and disrespectful. I really can't figure out how he could be born by me? And those two women, obviously He is a liar, look at him, he said he has no money, but these days he goes to town every few days, which time he comes back without a big bag?"

The more she talked, the more excited she became, she almost gritted her teeth and continued, "Your stupid father-in-law asked me for money, saying he was buying pens and inks, but where I bought them, I didn't even see a piece of paper. Fortunately, I only gave him 500 Wen, otherwise I would have been deceived by those two women, and I will lose a lot."

The face of Li Shi next to him turned pale all of a sudden, and he was also stunned there, being left behind by Wen Yue and Zhao Shi.Mrs. Zhao turned her head and looked at Mrs. Li: "Why don't you go and stand there? I don't think he can come back at noon, so don't wait."

Mrs. Li lowered her head and didn't speak or move. Mrs. Zhao suddenly opened her eyes wide. After years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she suddenly thought of something, and said in a changed voice: "Daughter-in-law, where is your money? My child." Honor your money, let it stay with you."

Mrs. Li lowered her head even more, and Mrs. Zhao said impatiently, "Don't lower your head, you are talking."

In fact, at this time, what else is there that I don't understand from Li Shi's actions?It's just that Mrs. Zhao still has a little hope in her heart, and she just doesn't want to believe it.Sure enough, Li Shi who raised his head was already in tears, and Zhao Shi lamented: "What crime did I do, daughter-in-law, that beast took all your five taels of silver?"

Mrs. Li nodded, choked up and said: "I don't want to give it, but how can it be much better? The child's father? In the middle of last night, he lost his temper with me and said that I was delaying his future. I had no choice but to give it." .”

"You!" Mrs. Zhao pointed at Mrs. Li, you, you for a long time, and finally let go of her hand dejectedly, muttering: "I don't blame you, can I not know what kind of temper you have? But if you can hold back I don't have to worry about him anymore."

Wen Yue was also speechless, Li Shi and Zhao Shi didn't have much money in their hands, it was all the pocket money she and Fang Dachuan gave them on weekdays, but just like this, probably each of them had something in their hands many.No wonder Guo Liniang is always so happy to buy things these days, she doesn't care about money at all, all the co-authors spend is Fang's money.She would be happy even if this matter was left on her, where would one find such a victim, if one encounters it, one would be a fool not to kill him harshly.

But now that Zhao and Li are both so sad, Wen Yue is afraid that it won't be worth it if the two of them get sick again. The people around them have already left, so they can't continue to influence their lives. "Grandma, mother, don't get angry, it has already happened, what else can I do? However, my father-in-law is too generous, let me say something disrespectful, and I must never give money to my father-in-law in the future, mother!"

This is Wen Yue's first time expressing her dissatisfaction with her peers. Although the younger generation said that the elders' right and wrong are not good, but for Fang Tongye, who is indeed at a disadvantage in virtue, the mother Zhao really has nothing to say.What's more, almost all the money in this family is earned by Wen Yue, she already has the right to speak.

"No, I can't just leave it like this, daughter-in-law, come with me. I have to go find those two little vixens. Didn't they say that they are going to invite people to dinner today? I have to deal with the matter in front of the big guys." Make it clear." Mrs. Zhao pulled Mrs. Li and walked out.

Li Shi was unwilling, she pulled Zhao Shi back hard and said loudly: "Mother, if you do this, where will you put your husband's face? If you get into a big trouble, people will laugh at him."

"What face does he want, what face does he have?" Although Mrs. Zhao said so, she didn't go any further. Wen Yue sighed in her heart when she saw it. After all, it was her son, and the mother was not completely disappointed I was always unbearable before.Originally, she was very happy when she heard Mrs. Zhao say that she was going to reason. As long as the incident is resolved, even if the Guo family sisters want to come to the door, they will not come again in a short time. They also have to face it.But now that Mrs. Zhao is not going, I am afraid that he will have to deal with the Guo family sisters frequently in the future.

Wen Yue is a little irritable, what is this called?It was a good day, but I want to come back with such a disgusting father, and I am a junior, I really can't beat and scold him, is there really nothing I can do except to wipe his ass?Why didn't Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li think about her and Fang Dachuan?With such a father, there will definitely be a lot of troubles in the future. Fang Tongye is only in his early forties, and he still has at least a few decades to live. Could it be that they will continue to live in trouble like this in the days to come?
"No, no matter what I think, I still have to go. I can't let them take advantage of this." Zhao Shi entered the house, but suddenly stopped, looked at Li Shi and said, "Would you like to go?" ? Let me tell you, I treat you like a daughter, and you can see that Fang Tongye's heart is not in our family, not in you.

I'm his mother, so I can't say I don't want him, so I can only work harder to pull him back.Mrs. Sun and Da Chuan can't do this. They are juniors. If they make trouble, they will inevitably be criticized. They still have a long way to go, so we can't let them bear this burden.You will make trouble with me in the future, I will not let him divorce you, so you let go of your courage to help me, you have a son and I am here, don't be afraid of anything, okay? "

"Mother!" Li looked at Zhao in shock, bit her lower lip for a long time before saying: "I dare not, mother, I'm afraid of him."

"Don't be afraid, son, there is mother here, and mother doesn't need you to do anything to him, you can just listen to mother's words from now on, will it work?" Mrs. Zhao has lost the drive just now, and her voice is weak.Seeing that Mrs. Li was still a little timid, she shook her head and said, "Xiu, what are you afraid of? Have you ever thought about it? If we let our colleagues go on like this, how will we live? Although you have a grandson, There will be more juniors in the future, don't you think about them? If I could think clearly back then, I wouldn't let Dachuan live like this."
