"That's right. Even if the family is separated, there is no way to stop grandma from seeing her grandson. This is indeed too much."
"Yes, there is gold under the man's knees. This Zhuang San is also the girl's third uncle after all. He is an elder. It's really outrageous to let people kneel down like this."
When the older woman saw Mrs. Qian's miserable state of mind, she felt pitiful and pathetic. She also thought that the village should not encourage such unhealthy trends of disrespecting the elders, so she did not spare any money for the banker's house.
feelings.
But the young women on the side had a different view.
"I don't know much about Grandma Qian's personality, but I only know that Girl Zhuang is usually kind-hearted and has done many good things for the village. There must be a reason for her to do this."
Why, if you are older, what is the right thing to do?
You have lived for a long time without knowing much, not to mention those who become more cunning as they get older and will take advantage of their age to bully others!
Besides, the banker's girl is really a nice person. Now that the life in the village has changed a lot, isn't it all because of her idea?
Even when the villagers used the threshing machine used for summer harvest last time, the girl didn’t receive a penny in rent!
Why, now it's just an old guy who pretends to howl a few words, and it's easy to get over it. Is it reasonable to say such hurtful words?
Even if you want to comment, you can’t just listen to one person!
These younger daughters-in-law had all suffered at the hands of their mother-in-law, and all of them unanimously stood on the opposite side of the elders.
When Mrs. Qian saw that there were still people on her side, she automatically ignored the group of young women and only complained to the older women. She cried every time, with tears and runny noses all over her face, and she was so embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter if he is a scholar, he has no respect for his superiors. If I sue the county magistrate ruthlessly, I might even be able to take away his honors!"
The more she talked, the harder her waist became, and she even started to pull it randomly.
Who would have thought that when she said these words, everyone outside, whether they sympathized with her or disliked her, looked dumbfounded.
"What?"
"Mr. Qian, what are you talking about? What's wrong with Shen Xiaolang? Is he a scholar?"
"Yes, that's what happened, but he..."
Before Mrs. Qian had time to repeat what she said to Che Lulu, the villagers outside were too lazy to look at her again. Instead, they cheered to Shen Ling and Zhuang Keqing who came out.
"I told you that Shen Xiaolang will definitely win!"
"How about you? Isn't this a sure thing?"
"Then, what's the point of winning twice in a row? An, An hand, but still can't hit the scholar?"
"Look at you, read more books, I'm called the head of the case!"
"Why, I haven't read yet. It seems like you still know how to read!"
Although everyone was talking to each other, they all had smiles on their faces, and their congratulations were sincere.
Zhuang Keqing nodded slightly, thanked everyone, bypassed Mrs. Qian, stepped forward and opened the door of the small courtyard, and said to the villagers outside: "Would you like to come in, take a rest and have a cup of tea?"
This talented lady was specially invited to come in. There was no one who could refuse. Everyone was willing to come in and feel happy. However, the old lady who had complained about everything just now was instantly left out in the cold.
"Huh? Huh? What are you..."
She stood awkwardly at the door of the yard, reaching out to pull the old women who were standing beside her just now, but this time no one was willing to give her another look.
This bunch of people favor the superior and disdain the inferior!
She was filled with hatred, but she had no choice but to follow him angrily, and then went back to the main room to stand with her husband and son.
Zhuang San on the other side had already gotten up a long time ago, and now he didn't dare to think anything wrong.
His niece-in-law had a clear mind and was not someone who was easily manipulated. If she fell into his hands, there was no hope.
Zhuang Er finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother and his third brother calm down.
I really don’t know why I came here today. I said I wanted to ease the relationship, but it actually seemed like I had made a grudge. Moreover, there seemed to be something else that Brother Ling could use to get hold of the third brother. I don’t know. He had done something offending again behind his back.
"Girl, Shen Xiaolang won the title of scholar this time, why didn't you see your family and everyone reporting the good news?"
"That's right, there is only one scholar in our Erlizi Village now, Shen Xiaolang, but we can point to him to win public praise for the village!"
"Isn't that right? When Shen Xiaolang comes to earth as a purple star, he might win the first prize in the future. By then, our village will not be able to change its name to the No. 1 Scholar Village?"
The women did not dare to talk to Shen Ling, but kept chatting with Zhuang Keqing. Looking at the momentum, it was quite like a star flying over the moon, while the four people in the second, third and fourth bedrooms of the Zhuang family were completely left out in the cold, not even Liu. It's not even possible to leave, it's too embarrassing.
"This, this, Brother Ling, why don't we go back first..."
Zhuang Er saw that his parents and third brother looked bad, so he wanted to find a chance to say goodbye, but he was interrupted again mid-sentence.
"Girl, where did Shen Xiaolang get on the exam this time?"
When everyone learned that Shen Ling was admitted as a scholar, they all had this question in their hearts.
I got first place twice. If I take the test again, can I still get first place?
Everyone's attention was focused on Zhuang Keqing for a while.
The girl smiled brightly and replied politely: "Thank you for your concern. A Ling also took the case examination and came back this time, so she didn't bury everyone's expectations."
"The head of the case!"
"Another case leader!"
"This was originally a two-dollar win in a row. Now, isn't it a three-dollar win in a row?!"
Everyone was amazed and looked at Shen Ling with awe in their eyes.
How rare it is to have a three-yuan case!
But Shen Ling didn't look arrogant at all. Instead, he bent his back slightly and bowed his head to thank everyone for their congratulations.
You must know that in this era, scholars were scholars, and their status was much higher than that of ordinary farmers. Not to mention that Shen Ling was now famous, and they were just a group of country peasant women. Normally, men would often angrily accuse themselves of being ignorant women. Who really respects them?
But this child can still salute them?
Just because they said a few sincere words of congratulations?
For a moment, everyone looked at Mrs. Qian and others with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
If he had such a capable grandson-in-law, why would he come to his door like this before it was too late to fawn over him?
Are you still asking someone to comment? Are you okay with your brain?
This is a misunderstanding of Mrs. Qian and his party. They really came here with the intention of easing the relationship this time. It’s a pity that they have done too many bad things before, and they have already chilled the big house’s heart. How can they do it because of your simple words? Just a few nice words and you forget all the injustice you suffered before?
"Mr. Qian, you are wrong. Shen Xiaolang has a great reputation and is the pride of our whole village. Why do you still look down on people's kindness and want to go to the county boss?"
"That's right, I think Shen Xiaolang is smart and knows etiquette. How could he do the unfilial thing you mentioned? I'm afraid there is no misunderstanding!"
This was because I wanted to save some face for Mrs. Qian, so I spoke a bit tactfully.
"This, no, it's not..."
Mrs. Qian couldn't explain it even though her whole body was full of mouth.
"You have misunderstood..."
She cried so miserably just now, everyone sympathized with her, and now they looked at her with disgust and disdain.
"I don't know whether you have misunderstood me or not, but you came to my door today and kept saying that you came to see my little brother Aman."
Zhuang Keqing faced the women and said seriously: "Since you insist on everyone's judgment, then I will trouble everyone here to make a judgment."
The girl looked solemn and spoke sincerely. Everyone heard her words and responded one after another.
"That's as it should be!"
"Since the girl asked us for help, how can we shirk it?"
"Thank you all." Zhuang Keqing glanced at the old lady who was gritting her teeth and bulging her cheeks, paused, and then said, "This time I will only comment and not show emotion. You don't have to care about anything else. Just tell the truth according to what you think. "
"Girl, don't worry!"
"That's right, in my hometown, my fellow villagers always convince others with reason. If we say something against our will this time, how can we get along with each other if we don't see each other with our heads down or our heads up in the future?"
Every word from the peasant women urged Zhuang Keqing to speak quickly so that they could hear what exactly happened today, and how it got to such an extent.
