Zhuang San grinded the flour but was also absent-minded. After finishing it hastily, he did not sweep away the remaining flour on the stone mill as carefully as Aunt He did. He pierced his pockets and hurried home.
This time, he didn't go around any uninhabited paths. Instead, he took the nearest road. Even if he met a few people pointing fingers at him, he didn't care.
"Is this all back?" When Zhuang San came back, Wu was still lying in the main room.
The bamboo recliner under her body was brought to her by her husband from her father-in-law. She disliked the greasy smell of old people on it, so she forced Zhuang San to rub it three times with soap locust before giving up. At this time, she
I lay on it with my belly full and ate some snacks. Not to mention how comfortable it was.
"Um."
Zhuang San buried his head and didn't say another word. He just sent the bag in his hand to the kitchen and went out again. When he was leaving the yard, he remembered to say hello to his wife and asked her not to wait for him to eat.
"What the hell! If you don't come back, why don't you let my aunt cook for you?" Wu cursed in the room, but Zhuang San had already gone far away at this time, so he could not hear her words.
Zhuang San is going to his second brother’s house.
He originally planned to establish a good relationship with Dafang alone and get involved in the tofu business, but the current situation did not allow him to slowly plan for the three-fang family. When they get married in autumn, they can't count on two.
Months of time, if he doesn’t take this opportunity to mess up the marriage, he won’t even think about the business, let alone the tofu recipe!
Thinking of this, he stepped even more hastily.
"Third brother, why are you here?"
The second brother of the banker and the old man of the banker had just come back from the fields when they saw the third brother running towards them from a distance, so they shouted without thinking.
Zhuang San turned around and saw that it was his father and his second brother. He could not hide his anxious expression. At this moment, seeing the two resisting the hoe's unhurried pace, he wished he could turn around and pull them back home immediately.
Zhuang Er was a lunatic, and Old Man Zhuang didn't care about anything except farming. At this time, the two of them didn't notice how anxious their son was, and the younger brother waved at him leisurely and gave him a smile.
White teeth.
Zhuang San was speechless. He didn't bother to pay attention to these two people. Anyway, they couldn't talk at home, and only his mother could rule this house.
Yes, the top priority is to find the mother and tell the important story in this matter!
Zhuang Er saw that his third brother ignored him and walked away in a hurry. He was quite confused. "What's wrong with third brother? Could it be that my sister-in-law is about to give birth?"
After hearing this, Old Man Zhuang didn't say anything, but he took his son and hurried home.
"mother!"
When Zhuang San came, the old lady was not in the yard, only the second brother's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, was cleaning the chicken coop.
It was a hot day, and the chicken coop was filled with chicken excrement, which was very smelly. Seeing that it was her brother-in-law, Mrs. Li wanted to go up to greet him, but when she saw her body, she shrank back again.
Zhuang San called mother twice, but when no one responded, he rushed to Mrs. Li in the chicken pen and asked, "Where is mother?"
Mrs. Li was afraid that the other party would think she was dirty and smelly, so she took two steps back and replied: "Mom is still asleep. It's hot today, and I feel sleepy easily..."
She opened her mouth, and was about to say that her mother would not ask anyone to disturb her, when her brother-in-law opened the door and walked straight into her house without being polite at all.
Zhuang San broke into the main room and saw that the door of the east room was open. When he walked in, the old lady was lying sideways on the bed. The window was open, illuminating the room brightly.
"Mom! Wake up! I have something to say."
He wasn't worried about startling the old man taking his nap with such a loud voice, he just wanted to explain the matter clearly as soon as possible.
The old lady was sleeping soundly, but suddenly she heard a thunderous sound in her ears. She stared in confusion, opened her mouth and cursed, "You are blind, deaf, and heartless! You told me not to make any noise, but you are still here crying in mourning!"
She thought it was the second daughter-in-law who had no expression, and wanted to scold him a few more times. But when she opened her eyes wider, she realized that this was not Mr. Li, but his third son.
"Guisan, why are you here?"
Although Zhuang Er and Zhuang San live close to each other, the third child doesn't come to the door very often. It's all because he found a powerful wife for him, and she coaxes him to be submissive at home. Most of the time, he doesn't even listen to what I say.
.So when the old lady saw Zhuang San on this unforgettable day, she immediately sat up with joy.
"Mom, let me tell you something."
Zhuang San was not in the mood to engage in any kind of motherly and filial drama with the old lady, so he went straight to the point.
"My sister-in-law has agreed to the marriage of the Shen family boy, and they will get married in the autumn!"
The words came so fast that the old lady didn't even realize who the sister-in-law her son was talking about was.
Seeing that his mother was completely out of sorts, Zhuang San almost gritted his white teeth. "Hey! It's Widow Qin! My niece is going to marry that boy from the Shen family!"
The son spoke in a hurry, but the old lady also came to her senses. She rolled her slightly cloudy eyes and knew what he was talking about.
That thing is not new. It has been almost a month now. What is so strange? Why is the third child so anxious now?
The old lady didn't say anything, but Zhuang San was very anxious, "Mom! You have to think clearly, that boy from the Shen family is not a kind person, otherwise he would be expelled from the house. Don't let this sister-in-law and her family be deceived.
Got it!"
"Do you still know how to care about your sister-in-law?"
Sitting on the edge of the bed, the old lady glanced at her son who was standing against the light.
After all, it was his own child. What did he think? Could he still escape his own eyes?
"mother!"
When Zhuang San said this to his mother, he didn't know how to say it. He didn't say anything about the tofu business openly, he just hoped to borrow the old lady's help to mess up the marriage, and then he would do it again.
Make plans.
At this point, he didn't want his second wife to get a share of the pie.
"You kid, stop pretending to be like your mother and worry about your sister-in-law? What a joke!"
The old lady stood up. Although she was just a little old lady, she still had no loss of momentum when she stood in front of a tall man like Zhuang San.
"Isn't it just that tofu recipe for an itchy heart? I've been waiting to see when you would come to discuss it with me."
After being told what he was thinking, Zhuang San's tone became weaker, "I'm here right now, aren't I?"
The old lady only glanced at him sideways, then walked out of the back room and came to the yard.
At this time, it happened that Zhuang Er and Old Man Zhuang also came back.
"Third brother, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that something happened to my sister-in-law?" Zhuang Er couldn't speak, so speaking up made people feel bad.
The old lady glanced at her second son with disgust, then turned her head and saw her third son still following her. Knowing that the other party wanted to take action on her own, she finally sighed.
"You go back now. I'll ask you to go with me in a few days."
Zhuang Er was puzzled by this nonsense sentence, but his third brother thanked his mother with a smile on his face, and then made a gesture of squeezing his shoulders and hitting his back, making the other three people confused.
