Yue Zhongyao failed to come directly to Qiao Mingjin this time.
The shrewd Mrs. Wu sent her two daughters-in-law to wait for him at the entrance of the village early.
After waiting for several days, he finally saw Yue Zhongyao's figure. He pulled Yue Zhongyao, who was carrying large and small bags, back to Yue's house.
Yue Zhongyao was upset, but he had nothing to do.
I knew that the two brothers and their wives were a bit unreasonable, but I didn't expect them to be so unreasonable.
Grab it as soon as you get it!
It was so sticky that he couldn't move his hands to grab the package and snatch it back.
Occasionally, one or two villagers can be seen on this village road. What happened to a grown man and his two brothers and their wives?
Yue Zhongyao only watched helplessly as Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu looked like they were doing good for him and grabbed several packages into their arms.
In addition to the things he bought for Jin Niang and her daughter, there were also several feet of cloth that the eldest sister had pulled for Wan'er and a pair of cloth shoes.
It seems that I can't keep it.
"Second sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister-in-law, it's better for me to get it. How can I help you with your hard work?"
Sun's and Yu's bodies were quite flexible, and they both dodged to both sides, allowing Yue Zhongyao to miss them.
"Oh, third brother, why are you so polite? We are all one family. If your two brothers weren't busy in the fields, they would have come to the entrance of the village to welcome you."
Sun's eloquence is so eloquent that outsiders may praise the family's close relationship between uncle and sister-in-law.
"Yes. Your two brothers are looking forward to your return. Ji Wen also said that no matter how hard he works in the fields, he can't even compare to you, third brother. He has long been looking forward to your return to give him some advice."
Mrs. Yu also said with a smile. As she spoke, she pinched the package in her arms with her hands.
There was joy on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced in his heart.
Her father-in-law had decided to let her man go to recruit men. Otherwise, her husband would be on official business now when he came back. Maybe she and her son could live in the city with them and live the lives of city dwellers.
Didn’t you see that the third brother has only been working as a businessman for a year, but he is already well-dressed and can’t leave a package on the left and a package on the right? I don’t know how much money he saved.
It was a waste of time to get that Qiao family's advantage.
She didn't have a son, but she made the man devoted to her.
Yu snorted reluctantly.
Together with Mrs. Sun, they hurried home. Yue Zhongyao, who was afraid of being too cunning, snatched a few more packages.
When they got home, they saw that Mrs. Wu had been waiting at the door for a long time. The two of them had decided not to carry out the plans they had made along the way, and they couldn't help but feel a little upset.
With Mrs. Wu watching, these packages would not be able to enter their room no matter what.
Then he flattered Mrs. Wu and handed several packages to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu was naturally very satisfied with the performance of her two daughters-in-law.
Cats have cat paths, rats have mouse paths. Huh, how can a monkey climb over Tathagata's Five Finger Mountain?
Yue Zhongyao watched as his own mother snatched several packages that he had carefully guarded all the way and carried them into the house where she and her old Yue Tou lived.
Follow quickly.
He still doesn’t know his mother’s temperament? There’s no way he can take out the things that go into his mother’s pocket.
"Mom, in addition to the things I brought for you, dad and the rest of the family, there are also my own things. Where are you going to take them?"
"You brat, your wings are strong. You've been working as a clerk in the Yamen for a few days, but you dare to yell at me? Without me, you don't know where you would be waiting for reincarnation!"
Wu swerved, twitched and bowed, but Yue Zhongyao could not get the slightest bit of the package.
Lao Yuetou didn't look like it, and shouted from behind: "What are you doing! I'm not afraid that others will laugh at you!"
"Fart! I'm helping my son pack his luggage. What cat who drinks too much urine dares to laugh at me?"
As he spoke, he glanced fiercely at Sister Xiu's house next door.
The couple had a good life, their parents were so poor that they could kill each other. When they lived in a thatched hut, they had to point to her old man for help, but now they are living in Qiao's house, who eats everything in and out, and they eat meat and water every day.
He said he was planning to buy a homestead and build a new yard.
Humph, there is only so much land in this village, and every branch of the family wants to buy land and build a house. Once his family buys a homestead, does it mean that they want to expand to their own house?
Then my feng shui is blocked by his family. How can this happen?
If you buy it, I won’t buy it?
Yue Zhongyao followed Mrs. Wu into the house. Seeing that Ms. Wu had put the packages on the bed and prepared to unpack them for inspection, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed one of the packages in his arms.
Wu was in a hurry, so she naturally knew that there was something in the package, and she might have bought it for the mother and daughter.
How to be willing?
A hungry tiger pounced on the food and started fighting with Yue Zhongyao.
How could Sun and Yu miss this opportunity? They had been following Wu since she entered the room. Now that they had met, they naturally helped Wu.
If Yue Zhongyao caught the joke, it would naturally be sent to the other end, so where would their share be? Help the mother-in-law grab it, and the mother-in-law would naturally leave some to their sons.
Their son is a good grandson of the Yue family.
In the package were the clothes and gadgets that Yue Zhongyao bought for Wan'er, as well as a pearl hairpin and two story books for Qiao Mingjin. There were also some candied fruits and other snacks that the mother and daughter loved to eat.
These were carefully selected by Yue Zhongyao, how could he let Wu take them?
I'm afraid that when his mother sees this, she will be even more angry with Jin Niang and her daughter. She said that she would use the money to buy books that are not suitable for eating or drinking. Then how can he resolve the grievances between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Besides, it's not like he didn't bring gifts for his family.
Mrs. Wu and her two daughters-in-law surrounded Yue Zhongyao, scratching and scratching him. The old Yue looked behind and stamped his feet to stop him, but no one listened to him.
Yue Xiaoman got angry and came up to drag her mother, but Wu swung her back so hard that she almost fell to the ground.
Yue Zhongyao was angry and impatiently pulled at the three women. He raised the package high above his head.
Shouted: "Mom, what are you doing!"
"What are you doing? Don't you see what you're doing? The son I raised with so much hard work is not thinking about his own mother, but thinking about someone else!"
After Wu said that, she climbed on Yue Zhongyao's shoulder and jumped up and down, trying to grab the package in Yue Zhongyao's hand.
"Mom, you have to be reasonable. Jin Niang is the wife I am marrying, and Wan'er is my flesh and blood. She is your and dad's biological granddaughter. How can she be someone else?"
"Humph, those who live in my house are naturally members of my family, and those who live elsewhere are naturally irrelevant!"
As Wu said this, she bounced upwards and had already touched the corner of the package. She was secretly pleased that Yue Zhongyao might as well have ducked out of the way and let her miss.
Mrs. Wu was angry and anxious. She stepped forward and slapped Yue Zhongyao, and cursed: "You don't recognize your parents! I have raised you in vain for so many years. If I had known, I should have thrown you into the back village and let the kidnappers pick you up."
!It also saves money on tea and rice!”
"Mom, when did I come back without bringing anything for you and dad? Why do you say that to me? I married Jin Niang and raised Wan'er. Naturally, they have to worry about their food and clothing. Feeding them is natural.
It's my responsibility. I missed Wan'er for another four years, and now it's time to make up for it, so how can you still hold her back?"
Wu was very angry.
"It's as if I only let them drink well water during those four years! Didn't I serve the two of them during those four years? You are a rip-off!"
Mrs. Wu punched Yue Zhongyao more than ten times bitterly. After being dragged down by the old Yue, she still couldn't understand her hatred. She rushed forward and punched the old Yue about ten times.
She beat Lao Yue's old bones until they almost fell apart. He was so angry that he threw the hookah pole, grabbed Wu's hands, and shouted: "Okay! Who can show you this!"
Wu's promiscuous behavior was not as strong as that of Lao Yuetou, who worked hard every day. For a moment, his hands were bound by Lao Yuetou, and he could not move.
She was so angry that she kicked the old man on the head.
The old man-in-law didn't mind her using this move, but she kicked him in the calf bone, causing his teeth to set in pain.
Lao Yue got a headache and threw Mrs. Wu onto the bed.
Wu fell two steps and fell back on the bed. Her body pulled down the mosquito net hanging from the iron hook and pressed it under her body.
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she beat the bed board and howled incessantly. She only said that she could not live anymore, and the old and the young only wanted her to die.
Yue Zhongyao had a headache.
I wanted to step forward to help him, but I was afraid that Wu would take advantage of the situation to become more aggressive. He just stood there, looking left and right, with the veins on his forehead so tight.
Sun and Yu were shocked when they saw Wu hitting her head on the bed board. At this time, they did not dare to step forward.
Yue Xiaoman stepped forward to comfort him, but he only received an even louder howl from Wu. He just said that he couldn't live anymore.
Lao Yuetou pointed his fingers at Wu and opened his mouth, but he couldn't come up with a coherent sentence. He just said "shrew, shrew" several times, then squatted down to pick up the hookah pole and went out with his hands behind his back.
.
Yue Zhongyao heard him calling out in the courtyard again: "San'er, go and see Wan'er quickly, and then come back and go to the fields with dad!"
Yue Zhongyao also felt that he was here and his mother was trying to manipulate him to death, so it was better to avoid him.
Then he picked up the package in his arms and walked out.
Wu was so excited that he jumped out of bed, took two hurried steps and shouted: "Yue Laosan, where are you going!"
Yue Zhongyao didn't even look back, he just replied: "Mom, I'll be right back when I go." As he said that, he walked quickly and walked out of the yard in a few short steps...
On the path leading to the outside of the village, the trees on both sides have evoked the breath of spring, they are lush and green, swaying gently in the wind.
Yue Zhongyao's depressed mood was immediately filled with a little breeze, and he suddenly felt a little lighter. Unconsciously, his steps were getting faster, and the corners of his mouth were raised when he thought that he was about to see his lovely wife and daughter, whom he missed day and night.
Qiao Mingjin and Wan'er were not at home at this time, and General Tie was guarding the door.
Yue Zhongyao dialed the iron lock on the door in a daze. It was really locked.
Where did it go?
It’s busy farming, have you returned to Yunjia Village?
Yue Zhongyao thought deeply for a while, then walked around the house with the package in his arms and looked around.
Various vegetables sprouted in the fence field, and there seemed to be traces of watering on the ground. In the chicken coop on the other side, there were only hens waiting to lay eggs in cages.
Then he went around to the stable behind the house and took a look. Only the horse pulling the cart was inside, but the cow was not there.
Yue Zhongyao made up his mind and turned around to walk to the Yayi Workshop. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
