chapter 22
I don’t like to be high-profile, but some things that are not high-profile and are known to everyone, so that won’t work.
"I said why are you so stubborn? I said if you don't need it, then you don't need it! Take the person back to me!"
"This is my filial piety to our father, mother and our breasts. It's all your business! I'm happy to spend money! You can't control it!"
At the door of the gun house, the old farmer and I stood opposite each other and quarreled loudly.
It was the time for supper, and everyone in the shop was at home. As I expected, in just a while, neighbors came out to watch the fun.
Que'er stood behind the old farmer and was looking at him with admiration and worry.
Damn it, I'm pretending to be a bad face to help you find a wife. It's really a bargain!
"I don't need people at home, nor do I need people! If I use people, I can hire them myself! I don't need you!"
"You got it! Don't you know what our father and mother's body look like? Our milk is old, do you have the heart to let them work on their own? Ah! I'll hire someone to take care of them for you, and you're not happy?"
The old farmer didn't know how to act, but for some reason, he performed very well in this scene. It's really real and can't tell any flaws.
Alas, it seems that love can really change people.
"What do I mean I'm not happy? I mean, I'm looking for someone myself and hiring someone to serve them myself, but I didn't say I won't hire him!"
"Then you hire me!"
"Don't I have not had time to hire me yet? Besides, I haven't discussed this with them yet!"
"What are you discussing! You need to discuss filial piety!"
"What are you doing? Oh, I won't discuss it! I didn't say anything and took a girl home! Those who know I hired a servant to come back, and those who don't know thought I had a wife!"
"Don't talk about that useless! You are afraid of these, I'm not afraid!"
"Of course you are not afraid! You are not our Gun family! Even if you gossip, you can't tell me about it!"
"What do you mean is that I am not your Gun family? I am not the surname Gun, but in my heart, my father, my mother, my mother, my mother, my mother, my mother, my mother, my mother, my mother, my mother! We are a family! Why don't you admit it?"
"How can I not admit it! But brothers still have to settle the score clearly. Are you doing this randomly?"
"What is random? I am filial!
Before performing this scene, we found a place where no one was rehearsed several times. After that, I asked the old farmer and Que'er to wait outside, and went home first, informed the family, and asked them to prepare. Then the old farmer brought Que'er to my house, and I stopped them outside and started acting.
The purpose of acting in this play is very simple, it is nothing more than to block the mouths of neighbors and prevent them from gossiping. Everything is arranged very well. The only drawback is that the old farmer is too impatient. As soon as I got to know my family, others arrived.
My mother seemed to want to say something to me, but I had no time to listen, so I could only go out immediately and play an opposite scene with the old farmer. While acting, I secretly observed the faces of my neighbors and eavesdropped on their conversation. After confirming that they understood what we were fighting for, I shouted into the house.
"Dad! Mom! Grandma! Come out and take charge of the old farmer! I can't control him anymore!"
This is the code that I agreed with my family. As long as I shouted like this, they would come out to fight, and then accept the old farmer's "filial piety" and let Que'er live in my house.
What surprised me was that after I called out, neither father, mother, or grandma, I didn’t come out. If they didn’t come out, I could only leave the old farmer and Queer outside first and go in and look for it myself.
When I entered the house, my father, mother and grandma were sitting on the kang, looking depressed. I felt that the atmosphere was not right, so I quickly slid my shoulders, tiptoed to the kang, and asked in a low voice.
"Dad, mom, grandma, what's going on? Why don't you cooperate with me?"
"What are you cooperating with?" Dad said with a calm face, "Cooperate with you to tell others about your wife?"
"Hehe, that... isn't the old farmer his own? After I helped him find a wife, wouldn't he be more diligent in finding a wife for me? Do you think so?"
My father gave me a blank look, muttered twice, and said nothing.
"Mom, what do you think?"
"Oh, that child is good everywhere, but his brain is not good, and he always forgets things."
My mother frowned, and she answered something wrong.
"Forget it? What's the matter?"
"I just wanted to tell you, but you were in a hurry to go out and refused to listen. Are you willing to listen now?"
"Yeah! I'll listen!"
"Didn't you tell me about a wife in the family before?" said my mother, "Mom knows that the wife of that family is greedy and can't be a good mother-in-law, so she didn't have any hope. So I thought, since it's hard to find a good mother-in-law, then find someone without a mother-in-law."
Find someone without a mother-in-law?
After hearing this, I had a bad feeling again.
"A while ago, didn't you know a girl who makes shoes? When you were not at home, that girl would occasionally come to our house to help clean up the house, wash clothes, etc. I saw that this girl was good, so I ordered a few handkerchiefs and insoles for her, and I became familiar with each other after a while.
My mother likes her, but her family is in a bad condition, she has no father and mother, and she has three younger brothers at home, which has too much burden, so she didn't think about it. After yesterday's incident, my mother understood that having no father or mother is not necessarily a bad thing, so I want to introduce you to both of you.
You are stubborn, like your father. Mom knows that you don’t like walking, so this time I don’t let you walk, and I want you to get along slowly. But you are so busy that she can’t go to the army to accompany you. What should I do like this? Mom thought about it and felt that my daughter’s life should be very tight. If she hired her to work at home, she wouldn’t object.
My mother told Shengzi about this and asked him to tell you, but the child forgot. This morning, my mother went to the daughter's house and talked to her, and her daughter agreed. My mother planned to let her come to live in our house, so she asked her to pack up and bring her youngest family to live. Calculate the time, the daughter is coming soon."
My! Oh my god! Hey!
My dear mother! You are really my dear mother!
If you weren't my mother, how could our thinking on doing things be so similar?
Wait! Now is not the time to be poor.
My mother had hired a servant in private and asked her to bring her brother to my house to live, so Que'er could not stay at my house legitimately. In this way, the scene I played with the old farmer became meaningless.
As long as Yumi brings her youngest, Que'er can only leave. After all, my family is not a big family. Although my father, mother and grandma are not in good health, they are just not healthy enough. They are not yet healthy enough. They have not yet to be taken care of by others. One person is busy enough, so there is no need to hire two people.
If you really hire two people, it would be a bit of a show of wealth and it would be easy to gossip about others.
Just as I was thinking about these things, there were riots coming from outside.
