Chapter 48 The uncle takes the girl back from study tour
The journey was calm and there were no naughty children making trouble. Zhu Pingan rode the old scalper and Zhu Pingjun returned home smoothly.
Before I got home, I saw a lot of people outside the main gate of the Zhu family, huddled together, pointing and talking about the Zhu family courtyard. Many aunts and ladies even looked down upon them.
Zhu Ping'an's heart trembled, something big happened at home. He hurriedly urged Lao Niu to run home, and Zhu Pingjun followed him and squeezed in from the crowd.
The Zhu family courtyard was really in a mess, with cries, curses, and noises turning into a mess. Mother Chen and several sisters-in-law rarely stood on the same front, comforting the eldest aunt who was crying and scolding.
"There was lightning at night and light rain falling in the sky. She stood there alone. She was so thin, as if a gust of wind would blow her away. Her clothes were so thin, as if she would be frozen at any time.
, her eyes were full of longing, I knew that at this moment, she needed warmth, so I gave her dozens of yuan to buy some clothes, but I didn't expect that she would reciprocate." The uncle stood there and said,
The emotion on his face can be said to be a bit like worrying about the world before he does.
"Bah, is this why you took your shoes home after you broke them outside?" the eldest aunt spat, crying and scolding her, wanting to go up and bite off a piece of my uncle's flesh.
Hearing his uncle's explanation, Zhu Pingan had only four words in his mind: What a great uncle! It's so shameless. It hasn't rained for more than a month. I need some warmth. It's still very hot at night these days.
Woolen cloth.
When my grandfather heard this, he was so angry that he chased his uncle all over the yard with a stick. My grandmother stopped him, fearing that he would hit his uncle with the big stick. Now his uncle had no bearing of a scholar at all, and his hair was all disheveled.
, probably because he was scratched by his aunt before. He ran around the yard with his head covered like a drowned rat, fearing that his face would be broken by his old father's big stick.
"Hey, please be gentle, old man. Don't break our old man."
Standing in a corner of the yard was a young woman with an orchid in her hands and a finger eating melon seeds. She looked like an average person who could only dress up a bit. There was a windy look between her eyebrows. She was also wearing very bright clothes, but she was a little more exposed than ordinary women. Her voice was also pretentious.
You can tell by looking at her that she is not a serious woman.
Well, Zhu Ping'an almost understands the relationship. The uncle went to the county for only two days and brought a woman back. Didn't he say he went to meet friends for a study tour? Why did he bring back an obviously immoral woman? Where did you come from?
Money, even two dollars is not enough.
"Bah! You shameless slut, who is your uncle? He is my man." The eldest aunt was so stimulated by this woman that she even put aside her usual pretense of magnificence and transparency.
Being a shrew, he stepped forward and spat out a big mouthful of thick phlegm on the woman, then started cursing her.
That woman was not a light-hearted person either. After being spat on by her eldest aunt, she rushed forward with a roar and wanted to fight with her. At this time, the role of the sisters-in-law became apparent. Her mother, Mrs. Chen, her fourth aunt, and her third aunt
They all abandoned their previous grudges and went over to help the aunt scratch the girl, even taking the time to rub her black feet. After a while, the girl was pushed to the ground and scratched by the aunts. Her clothes were messy, her hair was numb, and she was in a miserable state.
"Zhu Shouren, what did you say when you came? You are still not a man!" The woman was scratched and shouted at the uncle who was running around like a rabbit.
It doesn't help, the uncle himself is still a mud Buddha crossing the river and he can't save himself.
Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Pingjun were shocked by this scene almost as soon as they entered the courtyard, and could not recover for a long time.
The grandfather over there also took the opportunity to hit the uncle with two sticks, and his grandmother cried out in distress.
"Dad, Dad, listen to me." The uncle hid behind his grandmother and spoke in a panic.
The father and the third uncle were stunned and didn't know what to do. The fourth uncle took the opportunity to look at the woman who was being pushed to the ground by the aunt and the others, and took the opportunity to enjoy his eyesore.
I really didn't know what to say. Zhu Ping'an came to his senses, got off the back of the cow, and quickly went to the gate and closed it to avoid being laughed at by outsiders. As for the rest, it was not up to him to be a naughty kid.
Already.
There was a lot of noise in the yard before it gradually calmed down. The yard was simply turned into a trial meeting. Grandpa was sitting on a chair. Except for the uncle and the naughty woman, everyone else found stools and chairs to sit on.
On both sides, the uncle and the woman stood in the middle looking embarrassed.
"You son of a bitch, why don't you kneel down!" Grandfather was so angry that he couldn't help but cough.
Grandma hurriedly stretched out her hand to help grandfather calm down, but he pushed him away and complained angrily, "It's all your fault!"
The uncle was scolded by his grandfather and fell to his knees. His formerly clean face was now extremely embarrassed.
"Dad, listen to me, this is not my son's idea." The uncle insisted on explaining.
"It's not your idea, you lead the family."
Upon hearing this, the grandfather angrily threw the big pipe rod in his hand towards the uncle. The uncle dodged with sharp eyes, and the big pipe rod fell to the ground, splashing a burst of mud. If the uncle had not dodged, he would definitely be knocked.
A package.
When the grandfather saw his uncle running away, he became even more angry. His fingers trembled with anger, "Tell me, what did you say when you asked your wife to ask your mother for money? Study tour, study tour, that's how you study tour!"
The uncle's face was red from embarrassment or from exhaustion from running just now. In short, he kept his face red and said, "Dad, I don't want to either. I went to the county to study with colleagues, but there was no one."
After discussing knowledge together, he admired his son's knowledge very much, so he invited me to have a drink at their house. It was raining lightly at that time, and Juan'er was waiting outside the door in thin clothes. Her son couldn't bear it, so he gave her money to buy some extras.
She wanted to wear clothes to protect her from the cold. Unexpectedly, she was like a promise. When her son’s friend saw that his son was alone and had no one to take care of him, he gave Juaner to his son for free. The son also tried to avoid it in every possible way. But the man forced her to give it to his son.
, and also said that his son does not regard him as a friend. If the son does not accept it, he will cut off his ties with his son. He will not tell his son the test points that his mentor told him. The son cannot shirk it, and the son is helpless."
The uncle's words meant two things. I didn't buy this woman with my money. It was a friend who admired my knowledge and insisted on giving her away for free. I was helpless.
This is too confusing. Zhu Ping'an is really speechless. Who are you? Someone gave you a beautiful girl for free, but you can't shirk it in every possible way.
When the uncle said this, Zhu Pingan clearly saw the ridicule on the corner of the woman's mouth.
"Old man Xiaoxiaohuo, didn't you listen to what the boss said? It was given as a gift. Can't we just give it back to them?" Grandma spoke for the uncle on the side.
The fourth aunt gently interjected from the side, "Since it was given to me for free, where is the money that the elder brother took with him when he left?"
Mother Chen gave her fourth aunt a look of appreciation.
"Of course we have money." The uncle didn't have the confidence to speak.
"Where's the money?" The fourth aunt held on tightly.
The uncle reached out and took out a handful of money from his sleeve and put it in grandma's hand.
Well, the total is less than ten cents.
The grandfather's anger had not subsided, but now it became even more angry. He couldn't help but take the stick at his feet again. Seeing this, my grandmother immediately rushed over to hold down the stick, turned to the uncle and shouted, "You bastard, why don't you get angry?"
Please explain!"
"Son, my son and his colleagues in the county treated his mentor to a meal, which cost a lot..." the uncle stammered in explanation.
"His eldest brother, that's only two taels of silver, enough to feed our family for half a year, and it's just one meal." His mother, Mrs. Chen, lamented.
But instead of punishing the uncle, the grandmother gave the fourth aunt and Mrs. Chen a hard look and told them not to talk nonsense.
