Ying Bao finally couldn't hold it back and quietly ran to the West Village to watch the excitement.
A large group of villagers had already gathered in front of Chen Laoshuan's house in West Village.
Chu Man's biological mother, Sun Shizheng, was arguing with Chen Laoshuan and his wife.
"We must give an explanation to the Chu family about that matter. The eldest daughter of his family, Qing Hong, must not be taken advantage of by others."
It's because the Chu family is a family that doesn't care about face, and Mrs. Chen Feng is just mad because of it, not to mention her son's hatred of iron.
But in front of so many people, he couldn't let his son lose face, so he put his hands on his hips and scolded: "What kind of whore dares to falsely accuse his second husband! I don't even know if my daughter is doing anything, but his second husband can see it."
exist?"
As soon as she said those words, Mrs. Sun was so angry that she rushed over and started fighting with Mr. Chen Feng.
Everyone rushed to start a fight.
Chen Changhai's wife even pushed back and hugged Sun tightly and said, "Don't you hit anyone casually? People say that family scandals should not be made public. Why am I so ignorant that I throw shit at my daughter's head?"
Smashing."
Mrs. Sun struggled hard and shouted: "It's obvious that the Chen family has done something wrong, he is so stupid! He must give an explanation to his daughter, otherwise, we will go to the government to argue!"
When Chen Laoshuan heard that, he frowned.
His son had just been admitted as a scholar in June and had not yet received the admission notice, so he had not yet entered the county school.
This is because before admission, the county academic officer is required to examine the moral character of the fifteen new students in the county one by one. If they find that their moral character is deficient, they will be directly deprived of their admission qualifications.
Can my son be criticized at that time? Maybe the academic officer will come to inspect them soon.
"Okay! Everyone go inside and shut up!" Chen Laoshuan shouted, and his wife winked.
Chen Feng understood, straightened her messy hair, hummed, and turned around to enter the house.
Chen Laoshuan mistook Mrs. Sun again and said, "Please also invite Mrs. Sun into the room to speak. If anything happens, let's discuss it slowly."
That was all Sun asked for, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
Later, Chen Laoshuan asked his third son to go to Chujia Village to call the Chu Clan Chief and Chu Cunzheng, and the two families officially went east to discuss the matter of their children in detail.
The original intention was not to let Chu Man marry into the Chen family and become Chen Changping's stepmother, otherwise everyone would be in court.
Chen Laoshuan had to agree, but on the pretext that his family had no money and could not afford much betrothal gift, he let the Chu family figure it out.
The Chu clan leader and Chu Cunzheng looked at each other wrongly, gritted their teeth, and agreed to the Chen family's rude request.
But I would like to ask Chen Changping whether the clothes of the newlyweds must be all green when they accept the bride.
According to folk customs, if you marry your first wife, you should wear green wedding clothes. But if you marry a step-brother, the wedding clothes given to the woman by the man will not be bright red.
Not only because red cloth is cheaper than green cloth, but also because of local custom.
Chen Feng refused flatly, claiming that the etiquette could not be broken, her own granddaughter and grandson were watching, and her son's ex-wife could not be disrespected.
However, the two families got into an argument about the wrong color wedding dress, and finally each took a step back and let the bride wear a red dress and a green skirt.
Just like that, Chu Man married into the Chen family on the 24th of the winter lunar month and became Chen Changping's stepmother.
It was quite peaceful when I first entered the house, and I was quite warm when I treated Chen Wan, Chen Zhao and Chen Xubao.
That month, Chu Man took her clothes and went to the pond to wash them, but before she could finish washing one piece, she ran home and quit because the water was so cold.
She threw the clothes to Chen Wan and asked her to wash them.
Chen Wan has a soft temper and is used to being submissive. She picked up her clothes and went to the pond to wash them.
Her look made Chen Zhao's teeth itch, and he even chased after her to scold her.
"Why should I wash her clothes?" Chen Zhao said bitterly: "Those are her own clothes. They are very small clothes. Why should we wash them?"
Chen Wan said in a low voice: "It's just a few dresses, and they will be washed quickly. Ah Zhao, I don't care so much. Is she our stepmother? It doesn't matter if we, the juniors, do something for her."
Chen Zhao was furious, turned around and left.
I found Yingbao and complained to her: "He will have sex with her again, and his kindness will not be repaid! She actually said that he cares about her, doesn't that mean that he is petty? Huh! Let her wash it off!"
Ying Bao was not surprised at all.
Would Chen Wan have such a weak temper in her entire life?
The only time I dared to resist was when I ran and jumped into the river.
She thought that by committing suicide, she could win their attention and pity, or make the wrong party discover her conscience.
As everyone knows, the wrong party doesn't care about her life or death at all.
Chen Zhaoxu chatted with Yingbao for a while. Suddenly he remembered that his younger brother Xubao had no one to take care of him, so he hurried home.
Soon it was the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The house next to the shop in the county town has been completed, and Jiang Cheng also wants to marry Qiu Rong, the daughter of Rongfuji Pastry Shop, so the Jiang family all requested to go to the county town to hold an engagement banquet for Jiang Cheng.
Chun Niang left the chickens and ducks at home to Chu Chu and Zhang Meng to take care of them. She took her children and walked in the carriage driven by her husband, and went to the county town with her sisters-in-law.
Going to the county town with them were Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang, and Dani Erni. Old Jiang and his wife stayed back to visit the family.
When he arrived in the county town, Jiang Cheng settled his family in the large house he bought.
The house was not far from Jiang Sanlang's house. It was a large house with two entrances and nine rooms in total. There was a well next to the kitchen in the front yard.
The house was originally an old house, but it was later renovated and repainted by Jiang Cheng, and all the household appliances inside were re-purchased.
Jiang Cheng placed his parents in the main house, while his second uncle, second aunt, and younger brothers and sisters arranged to live in the east courtyard in the backyard.
Jiang Sanlang's family has their own house and does not live here.
Yingbao saw her elder brother's house, and then went to the store to see her own house.
Five large rooms stand neatly, with carved doors and windows painted with purple-red tung oil.
The outside of the house is fully furnished, and the three bedrooms are equipped with Kangs.
There are many shelves in a warehouse, but the shelves are empty with no goods.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ying Bao took out all the mushrooms in his cave, put them on the shelf, and recorded the purchase amount in the ledger.
After leaving the storage room, I saw that a well had been drilled not far from the kitchen. The wellhead was covered with a lid. Once the lid was placed, a bucket with a rope was tied to it.
The kitchen was very large, with three pots and stoves built in. There was a pile of chopped firewood at the mouth of the stove against the wall.
Ying Bao nodded with satisfaction and returned to the shop.
Her shop has three rooms, two connected stores, and a blue brick counter. There are shelves behind the counter, and the shelves are stocked with items.
The other room is a counting room. Outside the counting room, there is not only a cash cabinet and a table, but also a small bed for resting.
The door to the accounting room is inside the counter, so outsiders cannot enter easily.
Jiang Yunniang's snack stall is located on the right side of the specialty shop, and the stall's oilcloth umbrella is only a few steps away from the shop door.
Yingbao stood at the door and took a look.
The food stall sold meat pies and mixed vegetable soup. It was a meal at that time, and the business was pretty good.
Aunt Jiang Yunniang had been there for a while. When she saw Yingbao looking at her, she smiled and asked, "Yingbao, can you please have some meat pie?"
Yingbao nodded and walked to the small square table under the oilcloth umbrella.
Jiang Yunniang filled a bowl of mixed vegetable soup and gave her a piece of freshly made meatloaf.
Yingbao was not polite, took it and took a bite.
Not to mention, the meatloaf tastes very good.
Taking another sip of the mixed vegetable soup, you can see that there are chopped green vegetables and diced gourds in the vegetable soup, as well as a few shredded chicken.
The soup is thick and thick. It is blended with flour and seasoned with lard, pepper, salt and so on. It tastes very delicious.
