On the day of Zhou Shui'an and Zhao Yuan's wedding, the Shen family was filled with dark clouds, and no one was smiling.
Father Shen was squatting under the eaves, smoking a cigarette in his hand, with a heavy face. Mrs. Zhang was sitting in the middle of the main room, and several sons and daughters-in-law were sitting around.
"Mom, the Zhou family's business is so unethical. If I go to make a scene with my eldest brother, it will definitely mess up his marriage."
"Mom, I'll go too!" Jiang Miao stood up. She discovered this first. She had to watch the Zhou family get slapped in the face with her own eyes.
"Everyone go!" Father Shen knocked his pipe on the ground and said in a deep voice.
The whole point of going to a place like this is the strength of the crowd. If you don't support your daughter at this time, how long will it take?
The Shen family put on decent clothes and rushed to Zhou's house aggressively.
Zhou family
Although Zhou Shui'an was taking a concubine, Zhao Yuan was Zhou's mother's biological niece, so this etiquette was compared to marrying a wife.
Zhou Shui'an bought the house early, and in order to get married, Zhou Shui'an spent money to find someone to renovate it. Now the door is hung with red silk with the word "Fu" on it, which looks festive.
Zhao Yuan was wearing a red wedding dress with a hijab with mandarin ducks playing in the water beside it. She was sitting on the bed with a shy face. Next to her, Xipo was putting makeup on her face. She had a smile on her fair face and said something.
Pleasing words.
"This little lady is really more delicate than a flower. Her face is so tender that she can squeeze out water. She looks lucky."
"It is A-Yuan's blessing to be able to marry my cousin."
When these words struck Zhou's mother's heart, an old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, patted her hand, and praised her to everyone she met.
"My daughter-in-law here is good-looking and has a good temperament. She should have been married five years ago. How could she let that loser take advantage of her..."
Zhou's mother spat in the direction of the kitchen, with disgust on her face. Xi Po knew all about the Zhou family's affairs, and she couldn't stand Zhou's mother's behavior, but she still complimented her and made the two of them happy.
Heart.
Shen Yingxue was working in the kitchen with her daughter. Today, all the neighbors came. Zhou's mother couldn't bear to eat good food, so she asked Shen Yingxue to stew cabbage and tofu in a pot with some meaty meat to cope with it.
Although Zhou Ling is young, he also understands the meaning of getting married.
"Mom, dad doesn't want us anymore?" she asked timidly, wringing her hands.
Shen Yingxue put down the knife in her hand and wiped her tears behind her back.
"Don't think about it, why would dad not want Ling'er?"
"Then why did he marry a new bride..."
Other people's fathers only have one daughter-in-law, but her father has two.
Shen Yingxue didn't know what to tell her daughter. After all, even she couldn't accept sharing her husband with another woman.
There was a lot of noise in the yard, neighbors came to the door, and Zhou's mother poked her head in.
"Is the meal ready? The guests are all here."
"alright."
Shen Yingxue lowered her head and put the vegetables into the bowl. Mother Zhou looked at the meat in the bowl with a gloomy expression.
"You're a prodigal, the money in your family was blown by the strong wind and you made it like this. If you don't keep the meat for your own consumption, you'll know how to take advantage of outsiders. Come on!"
Zhou's mother pushed her aside and took out the meat in the bowl with chopsticks, leaving only two pieces of fishy meat.
Shen Yingxue knocked her elbow on the edge of the pot. The pain made her eyes red and she couldn't use half of her body.
"Okay, take it out."
Mother Zhou put the bowl in her hand, but Shen Yingxue couldn't hold it firmly, and the vegetable soup spilled all over the floor. She looked panicked and was about to explain, but Mother Zhou slapped her in the face.
"Bitch, did you do it on purpose? You must have held a grudge against Anzi for marrying Ayuan, and you deliberately became so angry on the day they got married!"
Mother Zhou didn't believe that she was not sure. She had long felt that Shen Yingxue was scheming and intolerant.
"Mom, I didn't..."
Half of Shen Yingxue's face was swollen, her hair was a little messy, and she looked very embarrassed.
Zhou Ling was so frightened that she cried, "Mistress, don't hit my mother."
"Pah! You lose money, you have the same virtue as your frustrated mother and you know how to cry. On the big day, all the blessings will be wiped out by you crying!"
"Mom, Ling'er is still young, please don't hit her. Wife, go back and teach her well."
Shen Yingxue's heart was broken when she saw her mother-in-law slapped her daughter. She didn't care about the pain on her face and quickly held her in her arms. Zhou Ling didn't dare to cry anymore, her eyes were dull and she rested in her arms. trembling inside.
"Hurry up and serve the food!"
Zhou's mother glared at the two of them, saying that a slap could hurt as much as they were delicate.
Although you had to pay ten cents to eat, the yard was still full of people. Most of the people living in these two alleys were commoners. They heard that the boys from the Zhou family wanted to take concubines, so they all rushed to join in the fun.
"Hey, Mrs. Zhou, when your family holds a wedding banquet, you let the guests eat stewed cabbage. We paid a gift of ten cents, so we can't even have meat."
Some people were dissatisfied when they saw the clear soup and lack of water.
"If you want to eat, go away. I didn't ask you to come."
Anyway, she would not refund the gift, and she would still save money on food if the person left. Mother Zhou was so good at planning that no one else could do anything to her.
Bah, what the hell!
The guests cursed in their hearts and smiled on their faces.
Shen Yingxue put the dishes on the table one by one, showing the slap marks on her face when she bent down. The woman next to her had a gossipy look on her face.
"Ms. Shen, was your mother-in-law beaten?"
She didn't get along with Zhou's mother to begin with, and her loud voice attracted the attention of everyone around her.
"What did I hit? She was so clumsy that she didn't know where to hit her. Go back to your house quickly and don't be an eyesore here."
Zhou's mother looked ugly, and it was not a good reputation to treat her daughter-in-law harshly. Shen Yingxue said nothing and lowered her head before leaving.
At this time, the door of Zhou's house opened, and Mrs. Zhang led the way in.
"Why are you here?" Zhou's mother was horrified.
"There is a happy event for the in-laws, how can we not come and have a wedding drink?"
Mrs. Zhang was smiling but not smiling. When the Shen family stopped in the middle of the courtyard, Mother Zhou felt a little scared.
"It's just a concubine, there's no need for the in-laws to come..."
She glared at Shen Yingxue fiercely, she was such a bitch, she didn't have any control over her words, and she always told her parents' family everything.
Shen Yingxue felt aggrieved because she had never told the Shen family about taking concubines.
"Mother..." She raised her head slightly and looked at Mrs. Zhang.
"Don't call me mother. I was bullied to death and you didn't say a word to your mother. Do you still have me as a mother in your heart?"
Mrs. Zhang had a face full of complaints. As long as she came home and said something, would they just sit back and watch?
If Miaoya hadn't been clever, by the time they found out, the concubine would have walked in long ago.
Zhou Shui'an heard the noise and came out of the new house. Zhao Yuan followed her. Seeing that the Shen family was a little timid, Zhou Shui'an became extremely protective and held her hand to comfort her. This scene made the Shen family half angry to death.
"Shameless thing, I won't let go of your hand yet!"
