Zhou was not surprised by Zheng's performance. After all, although Mrs. Zheng seems to be very talkative on weekdays, she is actually the one who is most mean-spirited and makes the most petty tricks in private.
She might also be the mastermind behind today's incident.
However, this was not the time to pursue these matters. Zhou turned his head and looked at the eldest uncle of the Zhou family and said, "Brother, what on earth is going on?"
The eldest uncle of the Zhou family felt hot on his face when he saw Zhou asking questions.
But when he thought about his purpose, his expression became calm again.
"We have all heard that the second brother is actually going to be exiled to Guanyuan Town. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. If he had not encountered the amnesty, I think the second brother would never be able to return to Beijing in this life."
"It will definitely be inconvenient for you orphans and widowers to stay in Shangjing. If you are bullied, you will have nowhere to redress your grievances. So after discussing with my third brother, I finally decided to stay and help you!"
Hearing that the other party wanted to stay and help him, Zhou just raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, this is not a small land in the mountains. It doesn't mean that you won't be bullied if there are many people, and it doesn't mean that you will be bullied if there are few people. This is the foot of the emperor, and the laws are clear. , As long as nothing happens to my wife, the Zhou family will be safe and sound this week."
Zhou's words were somewhat ironic, and the eldest aunt of the Zhou family couldn't help but said immediately, "How can the Zhou family be safe and sound with you? Who knows whether you will remarry as soon as your second brother leaves, or whether you will misappropriate the family's property behind our backs?" Go to your parents’ house!”
What the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said somewhat ruined her face. Mrs. Zhou was naturally very angry after hearing this. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? You doubt me! What a joke. My husband and I are more than 20 years old." The relationship between husband and wife of 20 years has turned into a waste of time in your mouth? You also said that I moved the family's property to my parents' house. You are really a big joke."
After being reprimanded by Mr. Zhou, everyone remained silent. Apparently, they all just believed that Mr. Zhou was such a person.
At the same time, Mrs. Zheng saw that the window paper had been pierced, and she simply stopped being a good person.
She just said casually, "Second sister-in-law, we don't mean to doubt you. After all, you are just a foreigner of the Zhou family. Your Zhou is the Zhou of your maiden name. As the old saying goes, you must be on guard against others? You You also have to be considerate of your elder brothers and sisters-in-law, they are also worried that you, a woman, cannot bear this burden, and secondly, they are also worried!"
Hearing Zheng's words, Zhou felt even more heartbroken. She had lived with her second son for more than twenty years, and the couple had a daughter.
Unexpectedly, she and the other person were still just outsiders.
Fortunately, this was not said by the second child, and the second child also said it himself. The property of this family was reserved for their mother and daughter, not for each other.
So Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "Ms. Zheng, do you know what the previous sentence is that is necessary to be on guard against others?"
Zheng naturally knew, but she remained silent.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou continued, "You must not have any intention of harming others. You are like this today. The two of you left before the tea was cold, and you wanted to drive me away! Why are you so vicious!"
"Vicious, second sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. We are not vicious. It is only natural that we want to get back the property that belongs to our Zhou family!" The third child only followed suit at this moment.
"Your property? You are so shameless. Why did our wife let you in in the first place! I think she should have kicked you out at that time!" After hearing their confusing words, Zi Juan immediately spoke out angrily. Fight back.
When the third youngest of the Zhou family saw that a maid dared to talk back, she immediately said angrily, "Damn girl, shut up! This is where the masters talk. What's the matter with you?"
When Mrs. Zhou saw that the youngest of the Zhou family was criticizing her personal maid, she defended Zijuan, "Zijuan has been with me for more than ten years. She is my personal maid, and she can be regarded as half the master of our family in this house. What's more, she is speaking for me. I think you told her to shut up, but you actually wanted me to shut up!"
"But I am the second son's wife, married by a matchmaker, and a serious daughter-in-law. My second son and I have been together through thick and thin for more than 20 years, and I even gave birth to a daughter for him! I am now this week's family! I am speaking on the territory of my own home. , what? Still more?
Is it possible with your permission? "
The third child of the Zhou family is actually just a bastard.
He only spoke out against Zijuan because Zijuan was just a maid. He thought he was more than enough to criticize her as a maid, but he didn't want Mrs. Zhou to speak out against him after hearing the words.
He was actually a little afraid of this second sister-in-law, not to mention that Zhou had her own reasons for what she said, so the third child of the Zhou family was quickly defeated by her words.
When Mrs. Zheng saw this, she naturally wanted to say something to her husband. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou immediately said to Mrs. Zheng, "Mrs. Zheng, don't even think about helping your husband to criticize me for saying that I am a foreigner." , my surname is indeed a surname to you, my surname is Zhou, your surname is Zheng! But my husband and I are a real family! If you say not, then what do you and my sister-in-law mean? Since you You are a foreigner, so why don’t you go back to your natal family! Why are you still manipulating your third brother all day long? I think you, as a guest, shouldn’t talk too much.”
Zheng was speechless at this moment because of Zhou's rebuke.
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family had a strange idea, "Can we be the same as you? You and your second child just gave birth to a daughter. Your daughter is going to get married. You don't even have a son to inherit the family property. Will you have to hand over the family property in the future?" Give us!"
"But Zheng and I are different. We have a son!"
"Sister-in-law, if you give birth to a son, will your surname be Zhou? Does your son have your surname? You see, your son has the same surname as your husband. What's the use of having a son with a different surname?" Ms. Zhou He immediately responded to the other party with the thinking of the eldest aunt of the Zhou family.
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately turned livid with anger when she heard this.
At this moment, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family just said, "Okay, you all shut up! Today is Yaoniang's happy day, why should we make such a fuss."
Hearing Uncle Zhou's words, everyone immediately chose to shut up.
Ms. Zhou didn't think that her eldest uncle would speak for her, so at this moment she just silently chose to wait and see what would happen.
As expected, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family spoke to Mr. Zhou after everyone chose to shut up.
"Brothers and sisters, we don't really doubt you, but you also know that the second brother is your husband, but he is also our brother. Our surname is Zhou, and the blood we shed is the blood of the old Zhou family. Thicker than water, so we brothers are naturally close to each other, and we really came here to help a bunch of second brothers and their families."
"We didn't think about anything else at first, but your recent actions really make us doubt your purpose!"
When Mrs. Zhou saw the eldest brother of the Zhou family saying this, she immediately asked, "Brother, what have I done?"
After hearing this, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family also began to talk about his worries. ..
"First of all, Zhou is not the eldest brother, let me tell you, we have been here for so long, and you haven't let us see the second brother! It turns out that it was only during Yaoniang's wedding that we saw each other!"
When the other party said this, Ms. Zhou immediately defended herself and said, "Brother, how can I let you see your second brother? The second brother is in prison. The prison is not run by my family. I just want you brothers to be there." There’s nothing I can do when we meet!”
"What's more, if you really want to see him, why don't you go and straighten things out on your own?"
After hearing what Zhou said, she just kicked the ball back. Zheng immediately said, "Second sister-in-law, aren't we unfamiliar with each other?"
After hearing this, Ms. Zhou immediately said, "Just because you are not familiar with the place, you don't go to see your second brother. How do you know that you can't see him even if you don't even try? You are not familiar with the place, so you don't know how to open your mouth or communicate." ?」
"Sister-in-law, isn't your son very eloquent with you? As far as I know, in the short period of time you have been in the capital, your son has made acquaintance with the young masters of several wealthy businessmen in the capital. Now we have only concluded the negotiations. There are several business deals. With your son’s eloquence and connections, what can he do? Isn’t it easy?”
After receiving such a rebuke from Zhou, Zheng felt a little embarrassed.
Although the eldest uncle of the Zhou family is usually not on good terms with the Zheng family, at least today they are on the same front.
, so the eldest uncle of the Zhou family just said to Mrs. Zhou, "This is just one of the things. The other thing is that I have asked you several times before. When I asked the second brother what to do, you always You told us that the second brother would be released! We believed you at the time, but we just found out that the second brother was going to be exiled, and you were still saying that there was nothing serious about the second brother. You are like this What’s the point of hiding it from us?”
Faced with the aggressiveness of the eldest uncle of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "Brother, what can I do for you? Aren't I afraid that you will worry? I thought that after I told you about this matter, you wouldn't be able to do anything to help me." If you are busy, you will only worry, so I thought that instead of letting my second brother worry so many people because of this matter, I might as well worry about it secretly by myself. I don’t think I am worrying too much.”
Zhou's last sentence was somewhat sarcastic. Although everyone present understood Zhou's sarcasm, after experiencing the verbal war just now, Zhou could fight three or four of them by himself. After seeing Zhou's power, they naturally did not dare to fight again. He spoke easily. After all, no one wants to be criticized for nothing.
And the eldest uncle of the Zhou family obviously has no intention of messing around with the Zhou family on these trivial matters.
He then immediately said, "Okay, I think you have a point in saying this, but you are sending boxes of these things to your son-in-law! How do I know if you are transferring property?"
The eldest uncle of the Zhou family said this, it can be said that he is trying to see the dagger in his hands.
