Mrs. Wu couldn't control that much. If she had a temper, she would let it out immediately, regardless of whether others would listen to her.
However, Mrs. Qian still had some ideas to take care of her face. Seeing her daughter-in-law screaming more and more outrageously, she immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth.
"What are you shouting for? It's so late at night, so I'm not afraid of surprising anyone!"
Mrs. Li didn't expect her younger siblings to suddenly scream like crazy. She was so frightened that she didn't even react to Mrs. Qian's wink to help her.
The old man and the young man were struggling together, and Mrs. Wu was holding a child in her arms. There was a lot of movement, but the only one who was lying in the back room, Mr. Zhuang, who could stop the fight, blocked his ears and eyes with his hands and turned over.
Fell asleep again.
Li was stunned for a while, and was finally awakened by the sound of the baby crying, and rushed to start a fight. But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have been angry for many days, and they used all their strength to prevent anyone from giving in.
Who? You grabbed your hair and I pulled my belt. I used my elbow to push Mrs. Li back a few steps. She covered her stomach and couldn't straighten her waist.
"Mom! What are you doing!"
Fortunately, the man is back.
Zhuang Er stood at the door. He and his third son separated at the fork in the road and walked home, when they heard some noisy sounds. Unexpectedly, the sound got louder as they walked home, and even added to the exclamations of his own wife.
Realizing that something was wrong, he hurriedly ran away, but when he got closer, he saw that the door of his courtyard was open, and several black figures were dancing inside.
Could it be that someone is coming to your door!
He unloaded the rattan basket on his back and rushed into the yard, hoping to catch the criminal who was in the hospital immediately.
But if you look at it under the moonlight, there is no bad guy!
It's just that his mother and her sister-in-law were wrestling together. Their hair was messed up and their clothes were scattered. They were in such a mess.
"Erlang, you are back!"
When Mrs. Li saw that it was her own man, she immediately felt like she had found a savior.
Zhuang Er didn't have time to comfort his wife, so he just stepped forward and pulled the two of them apart, who were still fighting, and shouted: "Mom! Stop fighting!"
This sudden male voice suddenly woke up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"You're back?!"
Mrs. Qian glanced around and saw her son standing in front of her, and her heart finally settled in her stomach.
"Where's San'er?"
After seeing her second son arrive home safely, she started to worry about her third son again.
"San'er went back, and we separated on a fork in the road."
"That's good, that's good!"
Mrs. Qian's mean old face showed a rare expression of concern for Zhuang Er, but Zhuang Er didn't see it at all.
He turned his head and hurriedly asked Wu, "Brother and sister, are the children okay?"
Mrs. Wu also came to her senses at this time. She had just rushed with passion and shouted too much. However, she still held her neck and showed no sign of weakness. "I'm fine! I just pity my son."
, I just got kissed and beaten by her again, I thought I was going to tell Saburo!"
After that, he didn't stay any longer and just carried the crying baby out.
"I'm going to see him off." Mrs. Li hurriedly followed her out, "I took the child with me at night, so the road is not easy to walk."
As soon as Mrs. Li left, Zhuang Er became worried again. He turned to Mrs. Qian and said, "Mom, I'm going too, and I'll be back soon."
The small courtyard that was so "busy" just now was all gone in an instant, and only Mrs. Qian was left. Looking at the wide open courtyard door, her anger, which had calmed down, surged up again.
When Zhuang San arrived at home, he was in a cold state. There was no trace of his wife or daughter in the house. He was worried and was about to look for her when he saw his second brother and second sister-in-law sending Wu back.
He hurried back to the house, lit the oil lamp, and brought it out so that the others could see the road clearly.
Who would have thought that this light would clearly reveal Wu's miserable appearance.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you!"
Zhuang San was so shocked that he didn't even bother to thank his second brother and sister-in-law, so he asked about his wife.
"This day, this day is not easy!"
When Mrs. Wu saw the man, she felt aggrieved. She held the sleeping child in her arms without saying a word, just crying.
It was late when Zhuang Er and Mr. Li met, and they had something private to say, so they didn't want to stay any longer.
On the way back, Zhuang Er picked up the rattan basket that he had just unloaded in a hurry and carried it in his hand.
"Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Her men came back, and although Ms. Li was relieved of her worries, she still wanted to know how they had not come back until now, causing such a rift between her mother and her siblings.
"Hey~" Zhuang Er sighed.
In order to set off early, he only brought some sweet potatoes cooked in the stove. At the end of the day, he only had water to satisfy his hunger, just to save some money and keep the stall.
He and Zhuang San were busy for half the morning, visiting all the popular shops, but no one was willing to accept their dried potatoes. The only one who was interesting was only willing to pay seven cents a pound, and the third brother didn't.
If you agree, you will lose the opportunity to sell goods to the store.
After that, he could only set up stalls and sell them sporadically. In the end, he sold everything, not only seven cents per catty, but six cents per catty.
It's not that he blames the third brother, he just feels that he is a farmer after all, and if he wants to make money, he should work honestly in the fields and not play with those silly ideas.
Seeing him sighing with exhaustion, Mrs. Li felt a little distressed, so she didn't ask any more questions.
But just because she didn't ask, it doesn't mean that Mrs. Qian didn't ask.
Zhuang Er carried a rattan basket into the yard. Before he could catch his breath, the old lady asked him, "Have they all been sold?"
"Mom, there's still some left." Zhuang Er replied weakly.
Mrs. Qian spat, "Goodbye!" She turned around and walked into the house. The door swung open.
Fortunately, it was late, and the old lady didn't want to light the oil lamp, so she just asked.
Zhuang Er finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was able to sleep well. If he was going to be scolded, he would have to wait until tomorrow.
On the second day, Zhuang Keqing got up early and went into the kitchen.
I grabbed some grains and washed them, cut two sweet potatoes into cubes, put two pieces of brown sugar in them, and cooked a pot of sweet and glutinous sweet potato porridge. I also took out the eggs and made pancakes, and fried a small plate of sauerkraut with minced meat.
Eat the cake.
The family had a hot breakfast and felt energetic at work.
Those who grind the beans grind the beans, and those who cut the sweet potatoes cut the sweet potatoes. By noon, about ten slabs of tofu were made, and the sweet potato pulp was filtered through a cloth.
A salesman came over to buy some goods, but he bought a lot more before leaving.
The villagers are no longer surprised to see her now, and they can't feel any jealousy in their hearts, only envy. Who makes the dealer's girl smart, diligent, and most importantly, kind-hearted.
A few days ago, the village chief had gathered everyone together and talked about how to use the fish fields. Now every household is looking forward to coming early next year and having a good time working in the paddy fields.
By the way, the villagers were convinced by the banker's eldest family, but for the second and third families, everyone had their own opinions.
On the second day of the market, the village was filled with gossip, making people wish they had more ears to listen.
"What are you talking about? There was a quarrel at the old lady's house again last night?"
"That's right! I live not far away. Darling, her third daughter-in-law howled so loudly that she didn't scare me out of bed!"
The person who spoke was exaggerating, and everyone else looked like they were gossiping. When they heard something exciting, some covered their mouths and sighed, and some frowned, all looking like they were watching a good show.
"He said he wanted to divorce his wife!"
"Is it true? The old lady said that?"
"I can't stand it if my son-in-law marries someone like this. How can a mother-in-law be so angry? It's time for a daughter-in-law to keep her tail between her legs." said a middle-aged aunt.
The older women all nodded in agreement. As for the young daughter-in-law, although she didn't speak, she either lowered her head or rolled her eyes or curled her lips, fearing that she was scolding these old ladies.
Got a clear view.
But it didn't stop these people from gathering together to talk.
"But I said, don't worry about what's going on at home, but isn't the dried potato business also pretty good? I heard there's money coming in!"
"Hey! When did you get the news? It's already out of date."
"What did you say?"
As soon as these words came out, the ears of those who had just pretended to be working perked up.
"Yesterday, my husband also went to the market. Guess what?" The aunt who spoke was beaming, and her face was filled with excitement. "His dried potatoes sold for seven cents a pound and no one bought them.
oh!"
"When my man left, his two brothers were still squatting on the street. You didn't see how pitiful they were."
You said it as if you saw it, and you muttered in your heart when you heard the gossip.
But this didn't stop them from talking more and more enthusiastically, and they even recited the words "ten coins and a pound" that were passed before, and the whole room burst into laughter, everyone was shaking their heads.
