What troubled Gong Jian's mother-in-law was that during the period when her husband was recuperating from illness, his temper became worse and worse. He would yell at her at every turn, and even attack her from time to time.
Although Uncle Gong Jian is still ill, so his strength is not as strong as usual, but the most important thing is that Uncle Gong Jian is also sick. How can she withstand Uncle Gong Jian's beatings?
Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, Aunt Gong Jian had a very hard time. She endured both mental and physical torture.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother and sister-in-law knocked on their door again.
As soon as he saw his sister's sick look when he opened the door, her eldest brother immediately shouted out in surprise: "Sister, why are you still looking like this after so many days? I heard from the doctor at that time
I said, although you are sick, you can recover for three to five days."
When Aunt Gong Jian heard what her eldest brother said, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. She stretched out her hand and began to wipe away her tears. This time she was really sad, and she completely gave up her usual crying and fussing appearance.
Seeing her like this, the uncle's eldest brother immediately poked his mother-in-law, hoping that she would come forward to comfort his sister.
Gong Jian's sister-in-law first curled her lips and rolled her eyes, then reluctantly came to Gong Jian's side, pretending to take out a handkerchief, and shook it as if she wanted to wipe her tears.
After a few beats, she spoke at the same time.
"Oh, sister, don't be sad. If you have anything to say, just say it. Your elder brother and I will make the decision for you. Why have you become like this after we haven't seen each other for a few days?"
At this time, Uncle Gong Jian sent Uncle Gong Jian out to open the door, but after waiting for a while, no one came in. Uncle Gong Jian was in an even worse mood. He held the wall irritably and walked out of the door. He saw at a glance
, the way my mother-in-law is crying with her natal sister-in-law.
Uncle Gong Jian was angry for a while. If he hadn't cared about his brother-in-law who was still standing next to him, he would have wanted to go over and kick this stupid woman a few times. How could she still have the nerve to cry?
Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother also saw his brother-in-law walking out of the room at this time. He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "Brother-in-law, how is your health? This year, you were unable to return home due to illness.
Family, our mother is thinking about you very much."
Uncle Gong Jian was too embarrassed to show his face to his brother-in-law. He quickly softened his expression and greeted his brother-in-law with enthusiasm: "Brother is here, come in quickly. It's so cold outside now, come in and warm yourself up."
"
Hearing Uncle Gong Jian's greeting, his eldest brother and sister-in-law immediately ignored everything else and walked quickly into the house with a smile. It was indeed very cold outside, who wouldn't want to stay in a warm house?
?Only their little sister is not polite. As soon as she entered the house, she was not allowed to rest in the house, so she cried in the yard. They were both extremely bored.
After the two of them entered the house, Uncle Gong Jian didn't even bother to glance at his mother-in-law, and then turned around and entered the house. Uncle Gong Jian also felt that she was very boring in the yard. She acted so hard, but she still
No audience came to see it.
She looked back at the room with some embarrassment, and could still vaguely hear the voices of the three people talking in the room. Aunt Gong Jian looked at the empty yard again, shrank her shoulders, and then realized how cold the weather was.
She walked over, closed the courtyard door, turned around and hurriedly got into the house.
Uncle Gong Jian's family doesn't have to worry about firewood in winter. From this we can see how shrewd Uncle Gong Jian is.
His family doesn't cultivate their own fields, but rents out those fields for cultivation by other villagers. He signs different contracts with each household. Some collect rent, and some collect grain. Even more
So, he had signed an agreement with a family early on, asking them to provide him with firewood in winter.
So every winter, Uncle Gong Jian’s house would be kept warm, and he didn’t have to worry about firewood at all.
As soon as Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother and sister-in-law entered the room, a rush of heat hit their faces. They both sighed comfortably. The face that had been almost frozen outside just now finally came to life again.
Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother immediately said, "Brother-in-law, your house is warmer." Their family was reluctant to burn so much firewood to make the house so warm.
Hearing his brother-in-law's praise, Uncle Gong Jian's face became better. He hurriedly greeted the two of them: "His brother-in-law and his aunt, sit down quickly. You guys must have been freezing since you came here so early in the morning.
, come and warm yourself.”
After saying this, he turned his head and glanced outside at his mother-in-law, who was still dazed in the yard. He happened to see the eldest mother-in-law wiping away the tears on her face in embarrassment, and hurriedly walked into the house.
Came over.
As soon as he saw this scene, Uncle Gong Jian immediately shouted angrily at his mother-in-law: "Why are you so blind? I didn't see that my eldest brother and sister-in-law have been sitting there for so long, why don't you hurry up and make tea?"
?”
After saying that, he turned around again and said to the two people who were already sitting on the stools and looking at the room: "My uncle and aunt, have you eaten this morning? If not, ask your mother-in-law to go quickly."
Get ready."
His words made Uncle Gong Jian's mother-in-law very tempted, but before she could say anything, her man said first: "Brother-in-law, um, stop working. We had breakfast before we came here.
of."
He still has some conscience, and he actually feels uncomfortable when he sees his brother-in-law treating his sister like that. But because he is asking for help, he has to endure this tone. Even because of what he said, his mother-in-law Bai Bai next to him
After looking at him several times, Aunt Gong Jian's eldest brother still insisted.
And his performance made Uncle Gong Jian somewhat satisfied. This brother-in-law of his had some eyes and knew how to read people's faces. Thinking of this, his expression became a little better, and he saw his mother-in-law bringing a pot.
Tea, I was too busy entering the room to greet the two people for tea.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you drink tea." It was Uncle Gong Jian who invited people to drink tea, but it was Uncle Gong Jian who actually took the initiative.
After serving tea to her eldest brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Gong Jian poured down the remaining cup of tea and carefully placed it in her man's hand. She mumbled without saying a word, and then sat down carefully, her man
