Jia Dalin had been injured on the head by the thief before. His mother's slap made him feel dizzy. The injury was already uncomfortable, and his mother had not considered it serious or serious, so he suddenly became annoyed: "I can't tell you that."
She was the one who came to steal things! She also inflicted the injuries on me!"
"Then you deserve it." Mother Jia said angrily: "Da Mei is your biological sister. Why can't we discuss things carefully? Why did you threaten her like this? You may not have intended to really spread those things, but she took it seriously
Really! Do you know how much she cares about this marriage in the Zhou family?"
Jia Dalin looked away: "You are just partial."
"I am partial." Mother Jia was so angry that she burst into tears: "Since I was a child, you have been the one I love the most. Among the three siblings, you endure the least hardship and get the most benefits. Dalin, you can't lose your conscience as a human being."
"Mom!" Jia Dalin was dissatisfied: "I never asked my family what they wanted."
"I gave it all on my own initiative. I owe you, okay?" Jia Mu said, crying even more sadly.
"Noisy!" Chen Sanniang rubbed her forehead: "Mom, if you don't want to take care of me, you don't have to come back. We can't recover from the noise!"
Jia Dalin answered: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Jia Mu was so angry that she turned around and went out. She couldn't sit still and went to the kitchen to cook and boil medicine.
When Jia Damei met her mother, it would be a lie to say that she was not touched in her heart. But when she thought of the days that would follow, her disappointment instantly disappeared.
Zhou Ping's mother came to propose marriage in person with a matchmaker, and Chu Yunli accepted the offer.
Next, while Jia Damei was preparing to get married, she did not miss her job at the wine shop. She planned to continue doing it after getting married. Zhou Ping was very supportive of this.
Jia Mu had been home for two days and was thinking about the Wu family's work, so she took the time to go back.
She deliberately chose the busiest time at home, and planned not to see anyone in person, but to leave as soon as she finished her work. In this way, even if Wu Pengsheng was dissatisfied, he would not have time to complain to her. She persisted several times, and she would not return when her son's condition improved.
.
When Wu Pengsheng saw her passing by, he didn't even look at her.
Seeing this, Jia Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to look at the stall any more. She walked in with her head down and didn't even have time to drink. She carried the pile of clothes to the well and beat them hard.
This busy work lasted an hour. The food seller's clothes were dirty and difficult to wash. Most of them were replaced by Li Qiuman. After washing, Jia Mu felt that her whole body was sore. She did not dare to rest, so she quickly filled the water.
Go to the house and scrub.
What was comforting was that the house was not too dirty. It only took two and a quarter of hours to wipe the house and the floor clean. When she went out carrying the dirty water, she looked up and saw someone coming in at the door.
The person who came in was an acquaintance who lived on the street of Wu's house. She was a woman who made a living by washing people's clothes and cleaning their houses. She had a hard life. Not long after she got married, the man died and she didn't even have a child.
I wanted to stay, and I wanted to remarry, but my mother-in-law was ill in bed and needed someone to take care of me. If she was cruel, she would have left regardless, but she was kind-hearted and couldn't leave her mother-in-law, so she stayed here for several years.
Until last month, her mother-in-law passed away from a serious illness... The old lady was clean when she left. People around her praised her and thought she was a good woman. Before Jia Mu came home, she had heard
It was said that a matchmaker came to propose marriage.
When Jia Mu saw the person, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that it was probably Wu Pengsheng who saw that there was no one to clean up the house, so he specially invited her to come and help. He immediately smiled and said: "I'm done with my work, I don't need you."
"Are you done?" The woman Guan was a little surprised: "There are so many clothes. I came back specially and planned to wash them until dark."
Mother Jia didn't pay attention to the word "come back" in her mouth, thinking that she was working elsewhere to find time to come here to clean up. After all, this place is not far from her home.
"My son's injury hasn't healed yet. He has to go home for two days after finishing his work. I don't dare to delay at all." Mother Jia smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip."
"No trouble." Mrs. Guan looked a little weird, as if she had something to say, but she didn't say anything. As she turned to go out, she turned back and said, "Paulin's father has something to tell you. You were not here before, and he didn't have time...
…”
Before he finished speaking, he had already gone out.
Of course, Jia Mu knew that Wu Pengsheng had something to say to her, but she didn't dare to face it because the couple would definitely quarrel if they couldn't talk to each other. Therefore, she didn't take it to heart and planned to postpone it for a while.
When her son's condition improves and she comes back to work, there will be nothing to talk about.
After finishing her work, Jia Mu tidied her clothes and went to the stall outside, planning to say something and leave.
Looking at the busy stall, Jia Mu hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to step forward: "The work at home is done, and Dalin can't get out of the ground. I'll go back and take care of it for a few more days."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Wu Pengsheng in front of the pot glanced at her: "Don't worry, I have something to tell you."
His tone was gentle, showing no trace of anger, and he handed over a steamed bun.
This was put on a stall and sold to the laborers. It was delivered specially by the appointed shop every day. Mother Jia hurriedly reached out to take it, feeling somewhat comforted. No matter how busy the family was, Wu Pengsheng was not unkind.
.
"I've been busy for a long time and I'm really hungry."
Wu Pengsheng cooked a few more dishes without any intention of stopping. Wu Baolin beside him was still preparing dishes... Jia Mu looked at the sky and said, "If the matter is not urgent, wait until I come back."
"It's quite urgent." Wu Pengsheng put oil in the pot. He was always willing to cut the ingredients, so even if his craftsmanship was not very good, his business was always good.
Jia Mu was embarrassed: "But you don't have time to talk now. Dalin and the others don't have dinner. If I delay any longer, I won't be able to go back."
"It's so urgent." Wu Pengsheng nodded: "Then you can go and don't worry about my family's affairs. When you are free later, let's sit down and talk about our reconciliation."
Jia Mu's eyes widened when she heard this: "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Wu Pengsheng looked as usual, as if he was saying that the weather is nice today: "You have your own things to be busy with, and I can't live without people here. We are not the ones who have to live and die for love.
Young people, if we can get along, we can get along, and if we can't, then separate. I can't force you, and you have your own ideas that you can't accommodate to me. Let's just get together and part ways."
The movements of his hands were smooth and fluid. While he was talking, he cooked another dish and put the dish on the plate in just two moves. Wu Baolin smoothly carried it to the table over there.
On a hot day, Jia Mu felt her whole body was cold: "You can't do this to me!"
Wu Pengsheng looked puzzled: "When we were together, I never treated you badly. When you came to the Wu family, I never cheated on you for food or drink. We have known each other for so many years, and I have always been very concerned about your affairs. I think I
You have a clear conscience. Why are you acting like I am a heartless person?"
Jia Mu opened her mouth. She was willing to marry him, but she didn't just want to be with him!
But those little thoughts in her heart must not be expressed to her mouth. She was silent for a moment: "Just because I want to go back to take care of my son, you don't want me?"
"It's not that serious." Wu Pengsheng sighed: "Qiu Man... doesn't want you to take care of her anymore."
This reason is even more strange.
Jia Mu stared at him: "I am your wife!"
"She is my first wife and the mother of my child." Wu Pengsheng emphasized: "It is through her that I can run this business. As a human being, you must not forget your roots. To put it bluntly, the money I gave you to support you was also given by her.
I owe her, and so do you. Maybe you feel wronged by taking care of her, but in my opinion, this is what you should do. You have been here for so long, and I can see that, about her
You always hide when you can, and usually don't meet each other if you can't. She is lying on the bed and needs someone to talk to her..."
Jia Mu looked ugly.
Does she owe Li Qiuman?
Play that fucking bullshit!
During the years when the two of them were secretly dating, Wu Pengsheng gave her a lot of money, but he also took advantage of her. Although his daughter's words about not getting enough money were unpleasant, it was true!
"After all, you still don't plan to keep me and want to break up with me, right?"
Wu Pengsheng nodded: "If you are not in a hurry, go back and collect your things. You can take away all the things I bought for you..."
"Fake generosity!" Mother Jia couldn't bear it any longer and cursed with her arms akimbo: "Wu Pengsheng, I have been married for so long and have been working as a horse for your family. We are a couple in name only. If we can't live together, we will have to do it."
Let’s discuss how to compensate me, and I’ll leave if you ask me to leave? I’m not a fool, anyway, you can’t even think of asking me to leave.”
Her sharp voice attracted everyone eating there to look over.
Wu Pengsheng frowned: "You have disturbed my guests."
Wu Baolin came over to serve the food and said casually: "Dad, I have told you before that this woman has an impure mind. She just wants our family's money."
These words poked a hole in Jia Mu's mind, and she naturally refused to admit it, and immediately sneered: "My son also owns a shop, and his business is almost as good as yours. Not to mention the other daughter-in-law, all the wealthy businessmen in the city
The master came to your door with money and begged her to release the goods. It’s a big joke that I covet your money. Wu Pengsheng, I’ve always been interested in you! But in the end, you gave me such a big deal.
Surprise, I remembered it!"
She stepped forward and pressed the spatula in Wu Pengsheng's hand: "Don't move yet, let's talk clearly."
Wu Pengsheng frowned even more tightly: "Don't be ignorant."
"I'm just too sensible, that's why I suffered so many grievances." Mother Jia stretched out her hand: "All these cocoons are only found when I come to your house. I don't even help my own son, I come here to give them to you.
Home work..."
"Don't make any noise." Wu Pengsheng waved his hand, intending to push her away. But Jia's mother was agitated and unsteady on her feet. After being pushed like this, she fell to the ground in a panic. Her face was pale and tears were gushing from her eyes.
Luo Luo: "Wu Pengsheng, you bully me."
Wu Pengsheng looked helpless: "I didn't mean to do it."
"You did it on purpose." Mother Jia glared at him fiercely, then suddenly turned around and ran to the Wu family's yard: "I want to ask Li Qiuman, I have served her so hard and without complaint for so long, and I have even cleaned up my shit for her, so where can I be sorry?"
she?"
Halfway through the run, she met Guan. She realized something and turned back to Wu's stall and asked fiercely: "You were looking for a young man, so you kicked me?"
Without waiting for Wu Pengsheng to answer, she turned to the somewhat bewildered Guan and said, "I have been secretly dating Wu Pengsheng for less than ten years, at least for five or six years. We have such a deep relationship, but I still ended up like this. You just have to
Remember me today, and it will be your tomorrow.”
Ms. Guan felt uncomfortable: "Sister, don't get excited. This matter is not very honorable..." Don't make a big fuss and make it known to everyone.
"Anyway, I won't come here anymore, and I don't care what outsiders think." Jia Mu said the next sentence, walked into the yard and went straight to Li Qiuman's house: "You dead paralytic, what can I do to you? Like me.
How many people can you find in this world who are willing to serve you?"
Li Qiuman half leaned on the bed: "I didn't say anything bad about you."
"Wu Pengsheng told me everything." Jia Mu said sternly: "Don't hide it from me."
Li Qiuman sighed: "Men are all greedy for novelty."
The implication is that she did not want Jia Mu to serve her, it was simply that Wu Pengsheng wanted to find another woman to use her as a raft.
Mother Jia was full of anger: "This matter is not over yet! Even if you want me to leave, you still have to pay me monthly wages. I have served you for more than a year, so you have to give me at least a few taels of silver."
Wu Pengsheng worked tirelessly around the stove all day and could not make a few taels a year, so naturally he was reluctant to part with it. He chased him to the door of the room and saw that Jia Mu only cursed without doing anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't bother me.
Qiu Man, if we have something to do, let’s come out and discuss it.”
Jia Mu turned around and glared at him: "Wu Pengsheng, serving a paralytic is a dirty and tiring job. If I had known that you were paying wages, I wouldn't have done anything. You liar!" She said fiercely: "I will serve her during the day.
, to serve you at night. You have to pay me at least four taels of silver every month, give me five taels, and we'll pay it back!"
"That's not how the accounts are settled. I really want to live with you." Wu Pengsheng looked helpless: "You are angry right now, you can't speak clearly, and you do things impulsively. In this way, my family will live here and can't run away.
, you go home and think about it carefully, and when you calm down, we can discuss it carefully. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you, and I will never let you serve Qiu Man in vain."
This seems like a human saying, but Jia Mu also knows it in her heart. If Wu Pengsheng is willing to use money to eliminate disasters and is willing to pay her five taels of silver, he will not hesitate to settle things with her at this moment.
After that, I just wanted to talk about the price.
Jia Mu was no longer anxious at this moment, and simply sat under the eaves: "I'm not excited. Like you said, we are not young people. We can get together or hang out, I can accept it!"
She was not in a hurry. Wu Pengsheng had a lot of guests outside and had no time to greet her. But there was Li Qiuman in the house who was helpless and he did not dare to leave.
Guan was less than thirty years old, and she had helped many people with work over the years, so she had seen the world. Seeing the Wu family treating Jia Mu like this, she didn't show it on her face, but she felt it was inappropriate in her heart.
She had only made a verbal agreement with Wu Pengsheng to be husband and wife, but had not moved here yet, and did not regard herself as a member of the Wu family... At this moment, when she saw this situation, she assumed the identity of the Wu family's daughter-in-law.
If the person Wu Pengsheng treats like this is her... she can't be offended.
Unlike Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Guan has no children of her own. All she wants is stability, but she can no longer withstand the hardships.
Mother Jia noticed Guan's secretly looking eyes and said seriously: "Wu Pengsheng seems to be a very generous person. When I secretly interacted with him, he never treated me badly. But since I married him,
The whole family really treats me as a long-term worker. You are younger and more beautiful than me, so he must be very interested in you. But no matter how he treats you now, it will definitely change in the future. You don’t have children yet, so you can only
Under Wu Baolin’s thumb!”
These words reached Guan's heart, and her expression changed on the spot.
Jia Mu continued by herself: "You still have your own house, no wonder he abandoned me. I admit defeat, but as a woman, I kindly advise you, you have to be careful with yourself. The deed to the house is thousands of years old.
Don’t change his name!”
Guan was completely panicked. Just last night, Wu Pengsheng discussed with her that the yard was not big and there were many people living there. His first wife was also here. It was uncomfortable for everyone to live under the same roof and there was no place to move. Since she
There is a yard, and after the two get married, they can live at her place. At that time, Guan thought it was very good, and the couple lived their own lives behind closed doors and no one could disturb them.
But at this moment, it was hard for her not to think too much. First this man lived there, and then what?
"What about that, Brother Wu? It's not appropriate for me to stay here with this noisy situation. You guys talk first."
With that said, the man ran away quickly.
Wu Pengsheng stepped forward to chase him, but was unable to catch him.
"You are not ashamed to be old." Mother Jia mocked: "You are so old that you attack a young widow. How can you be embarrassed when you have grandchildren?"
There is indeed a generational gap between the two. Guan is young and has no children, and is famous for her kindness. There are many people who want to marry her. Wu Pengsheng also spent a lot of effort to persuade Guan to relent and run away.
He knew in his heart that it would not be easy to ask him back again.
He turned around and lost his patience: "What do you want?"
Jia Mu hummed: "Give me the money, and if I don't come to your door again, even if I have something to do, I will not pass by your door."
Wu Pengsheng was silent for a long time and said: "It's getting late, so I'll have someone take you home. We're so late here, and if we really want to separate, we can't explain it clearly in a few sentences. If you have something to do at home, go back and do it first.
Let me think about it."
Mother Jia squinted at him: "I can't leave empty-handed!"
There are still customers waiting outside. If the food is not served quickly, it will not only be today's business, but also the impression that Wu's stall may be slow to cook and not be able to eat for a long time. Wu Pengsheng gritted his teeth and took out the food.
A silver dime was issued: "You take the flowers first."
Mother Jia reached out to take it and had an idea in her mind. As long as Wu Pengsheng set up a stall, he would not be afraid of not giving him money. Anyway, the Jia family's business was already established and they were not afraid of people making trouble. She quickly went into the house and packed her things without looking at my house.
After the chaos at the stall, he took the carriage directly back to the outer city.
She was thoughtful and her eyes were red when she entered the room.
Hua'er saw it first and quietly ran to tell her mother about it.
Chen Sanniang looked surprised, but she didn't feel comfortable asking. After poking the man next to her, Jia Dalin saw her mother and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
"Wu Pengsheng said he didn't say hello when I came home, chased me back, and said he wanted to break up with me." Jia's mother sat at the table wiping tears and choked up: "He said I was too busy with things at home to delay me.
, so it’s easy to get together and relax.”
Jia Dalin looked surprised: "He asked you to leave, and you left? Have you been working in vain this year? And his savings..."
For more than a year, the mother and son have been accommodating the Wu family. In the final analysis, they are interested in Wu Pengsheng's money. They don't want outsiders to say that Jia's mother is not doing her best, and then does not divide the money.
"It's very hard, and I don't want to give anything to you." Mother Jia said angrily: "It's like chasing a beggar, asking me to pack my things and leave."
"That's too much!" Jia Dalin punched the quilt hard: "This matter is not over yet."
Chen Sanniang looked unhappy: "Then you will move back?"
Mother Jia met her daughter-in-law's eyes and frowned: "Why, I can't come back to live?" She emphasized: "Sanniang, I am your mother-in-law!"
Chen Sanniang: "..." Who is willing to serve mother-in-law?
For the sake of money, Jia Dalin was willing to accommodate her in every way, but the mother-in-law was not necessarily so. Before, when she didn't want to cook, Jia Dalin cooked for her, helped her with laundry, and even brought water for washing her feet. Now at home,
With the addition of a mother-in-law, even if Jia Dalin is willing, the old woman will definitely not agree.
She calmed down and said, "Mom, did you have a fight with Uncle Wu today?"
"Noisy!" Jia Mu poured a bowl of water, drank it, and threw the bowl on the table: "If I had known that bastard wanted to drive me away, I wouldn't have washed so many clothes."
Chen Sanniang was thinking a lot at this moment. In the final analysis, if she wants to live a comfortable life, she cannot let her mother-in-law live at home. She tentatively said: "Maybe Uncle Wu is just temporarily angry with you, and he will be fine in two days. You
It would be a pity that the relationship between the two of them for so many years has ended like this."
Jia Mu narrowed her eyes: "Sanniang, what do you mean?"
When Chen Sanniang met her eyes, she didn't dare to say anything more, but there were some things she didn't want to say. She murmured in a low voice: "It's a shame to come back for nothing."
Mother Jia was deeply convinced by this. She sat back in her chair and said nothing for a long time, then returned to her room without saying a word. During this period, Jia Dalin shouted twice, but she didn't hear her.
The next day, Wu Pengsheng came to the door early in the morning.
He was guarding the stall and had to prepare the dishes early in the morning. There were slightly fewer customers at noon, so he could have some free time in the morning. If he couldn't go back, he would let Wu Baolin take care of it first.
After he entered the door, he didn't wait for Jia Dalin to get angry and said first: "I'm here to explain, Qianniang, you misunderstood yesterday. I didn't want to marry anyone else."
Jia Mu was no longer as aggressive as last night: "I was so angry at the time. Those words were not my intention."
Both of them actually wanted to reconcile.
