"Why is the schedule full? You just don't want to do it, so you made up this nonsense to fool me, a woman!"
After Mrs. Wu coaxed the child, she turned around and screamed at Zhuang San, "Liu Wanzi next door just made a deal this morning, and her wife just showed it off to me!"
"What!"
Only then did Zhuang San realize that his daughter-in-law, who was fine, suddenly went crazy again. It turned out that what he thought was true, it was Liu Da who deliberately refused to take his order!
How could he stand being so angry now? Why would he use it if he had money? How could he pretend to be like this!
"I'll go find Liu Da again!"
When Mrs. Wu saw the housekeeper taking some farm tools and going out angrily, she suddenly panicked again.
Zhuang San walked all the way to the fork in front of Liu's house. The wind blew for a while and he had calmed down.
Why doesn’t Liu Da want to make a kang for his family?
Could it be that I had issues with him before?
No, he racked his brains and couldn't think of anything. To put it more harshly, he had never dealt with Liu Da before, so how could he have a holiday?
Is that because we didn’t give enough money?
This is even more unacceptable! I went there with my money bag that day, and refused even if I had a chance to pay for it.
Then what is it for?
After grabbing his hair several times, Zhuang San decided to ask for details.
After turning into a fork in the road, I walked a few steps to the door of the Liu family's yard. I looked inside and saw that Liu Da was not there. Her wife had moved a small bench and was sitting at the door of the kitchen, tending to the dishes.
"Sister-in-law of the Liu family."
Zhuang San was straight-faced and upright, and he was quite amiable when he deliberately put on a smile. His friendly voice made Mrs. Liu stunned.
"Who are you……"
"I am the third youngest of the banker, is Brother Liu at home?"
"Ah, Liu Da went out to sit on the bed. Why, do you have something to do with him?"
Liu's wife usually does a lot of work at home and doesn't go out to socialize much. Now she heard Zhuang San say that she was the third son of the banker, but she didn't realize who it was.
"Sister-in-law Liu, I just want to book a kang. The children at home are small and weak, and I'm afraid of getting sick from the cold in winter."
Zhuang San said in a sincere tone, took out his money bag again, held it in his hand and showed it to others, "I have all the money with me. If you pay the full amount now, you will get it."
When Mrs. Liu heard that he wanted to sit on the bed for the sake of her children, she immediately felt good in her heart. We are both parents, how could we not look forward to having children?
So when he replied again, there was a smile on his face, "Brother Zhuang, there is no need to deposit money for now. When the man at home comes back, I will tell him that I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible!"
"Hey, thank you sister-in-law!"
Zhuang San was so happy that he thanked her and kept saying compliments, which made Mrs. Liu smile.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome in my home!"
Just when Zhuang San thought it was done, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.
I turned around and saw that it was Liu Da who was back.
He hurriedly put on a smile and said rather flatteringly: "Brother Liu, it's not about the kang. My wife at home is urging me, so you can arrange a time. The money is easy to talk about, and I can add more."
"
But Liu Da had a straight face and replied coldly, "It's not about money. I just won't do it for you and the other two banks!"
"Why is this?" Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law was puzzled when she saw her husband speaking coldly to this kind-faced young man, so she tried to persuade her, "It's for the sake of the children. Why are you so unreasonable?"
"What do women know?"
Liu Da obviously didn't want to listen to his wife's advice anymore, so he just said to Zhuang San, "Get out of the way, don't block the road."
Zhuang San had never received such a cold look before. He couldn't bear it for a moment and couldn't keep the smile on his face. He broke the jar and said, "Liu Da, tell me something nice, why don't you give me a Kang bed?"
Yes! Could it be that I have sinned against you before?"
Liu Da looked over Zhuang San, glanced sideways at him, and suddenly smiled: "You still have the nerve to ask?"
"But since you asked, I'll just tell you what's on my mind!"
"When Zhuang Da died, did you and Zhuang Er not even show their faces?" Liu Dali asked.
"I really want to go, but my mother won't let me! As a son, how can I go against the wishes of my elders?" Zhuang San rolled his eyes and immediately threw the blame on his mother.
"Okay! Let me ask you again." Liu Da did not expect Zhuang San to be so shameless in sophistry, and sneered, "On the day of Zhuang Yatou's wedding, did you find some bullshit to make the wedding happen? But
Not to mention it was your mother who instigated it again, the old lady never leaves the village, how can she know these unreliable people?"
"I, Liu Da, am different from you. I know how to repay kindness. This kang method was taught to me by Zhuang Yatou. There is nothing I can do to help you and be the person who repays kindness with hatred!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuang San had nothing to say. He stood in a daze and didn't even react when Liu Da spat at him.
"So he is Zhuang San?" Liu's wife glanced at him in disgust, "If he is a person like him, then we really can't give him a bed. I really misjudged him just now and thought he was a good person."
"That's it." Seeing that his wife had figured out the situation, Liu Da turned around and closed the courtyard door, completely ignoring the people standing outside.
Zhuang San never thought about it. He just thought of scheming his niece's tofu business, but unexpectedly he shot himself in the foot. From losing 300 yuan, he went to the potato drying business, and now he can't even get a bed.
If you can't succeed, everything you do won't go well.
This...this knot is still in the dealer's main room!
He returned home in a daze. As soon as he entered the yard, he was surrounded by his daughter-in-law Wu and asked about making a kang. Zhuang San raised his face and asked feebly, "Do you think we should go to Zhuang to make amends?"
"What did you say?"
Mrs. Wu asked inexplicably.
Zhuang San muttered and told the story, and only then did Wu know the whole story.
She is a little thoughtful and loves to show off, but Ah Qing is still the most important thing now, and making the kang can't be delayed. For the sake of her children, what's the difficulty in asking herself to come to the house to beg a little girl? How much is face worth?
"Tomorrow, I will catch a chicken at home and pick up a basket of eggs. You and I will come to the house together."
Wu gave the instructions simply.
"Come to the door? Where?"
At this juncture, Zhuang San's brain was running out, and he opened his eyes and looked at his wife eagerly.
Mrs. Wu was so angry that she, the head of the family, was usually very smart, but at this critical moment, her brain was not enough. Maybe she couldn't let go of her body, right?
"If you say you are smart, you are smart; if you say you are stupid, you are really stupid!"
Mrs. Wu put one hand on her waist, and extended her index finger with the other hand to poke Zhuang San's forehead, "Before, you could have a grudge with Dafang, but now you have lowered your attitude when you come to the house and say that for Ah Qing's sake, that family
My wife is a womanizer, how can I really be so cruel?"
"As long as you relax this time, let's run around more and be more sincere in the future. After a long time, can people still push you out?"
"After all, we are all surnamed Zhuang. We are a family. We have broken bones and even tendons. If you have some good ideas in the future, how can you take advantage of the village and not leave some food for your own family?"
Wu told her one by one, and Zhuang San became more and more right as he listened, and his eyes became clearer. "Daughter-in-law, you are right, we cannot save face and suffer the consequences."
"How can I be like your mother, who never thinks about the consequences of doing things, and doesn't know how to wipe her butt when shitting." Mrs. Wu couldn't help but feel proud when her man praised her, and she didn't know the importance of it as she spoke.
The corner of Zhuang San's mouth twitched, but he nodded. Forget it, my mother couldn't hear her anyway. She just said a few words, and it would be a shame. Thinking of this, he turned behind his wife and pinched her in a flattering way.
Lift your shoulders.
The next day, Zhuang San picked a fat chicken from the chicken coop early in the morning, tied its feet with a rope and threw it at the door. He also picked up twenty eggs from the wooden barrel in the kitchen, plucked two fresh cabbages, and tied the vines to the ground.
The basket was filled to the brim, and then he and his wife went out together.
No matter what happened today, at least the kang matter was settled.
Not long after he left the door, Mrs. Zhuang came to the door. Seeing that the door to her son's small courtyard was locked, she stood outside the courtyard and shouted a few times, but no one was there waiting there.
When I came out to open the door, I looked out and found that all the doors inside were locked.
"Aunt Zhuang, stop shouting, the couple went out early in the morning."
Next door, Liu Kanzi's wife took a basin of water and splashed it out. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The splashed mud almost got on Mrs. Qian's body.
Cursing inwardly that she was unlucky, Mrs. Qian still raised her head and asked with a smile, "The Liu family, do you know where they have gone?"
"I didn't know this. You are not a relative or a friend, why should you explain it to me?" Liu Kanzi's wife smiled, "But, I saw that she carried a lot of things out."
"It's both chicken and egg, and even the vegetables are included. Are you visiting relatives?"
Visiting a relative? What kind of relative? The third daughter-in-law is married far away, and the family is extremely poor. It’s so easy to leave this relative!
