Changping Village.
The Guanyin Temple is being built in full swing. Because the person who paid for the construction of the temple is General Luo, Blacksmith Luo spends time here almost every day, working with the craftsmen and supervising the work.
Luo Fengtang gave the craftsman Baotou an extra amount of food money and asked him to use the money to solve the problem of food and drink while the craftsmen were building the temple.
As long as these foremen work as foremen and lead people to work, and do cooking and other errands, they all use their own mothers-in-law or sisters-in-law and so on. If the master gives money, they can more or less get some oil and water out of it. No matter what, it doesn't work. , it also solves the problem of food and drink for the family. It can save a mouthful of food for the family!
Everyone has his place.
In the village, Mrs. Liu gave Yang Huaming the key to the house where she lived in the town, "Go ahead and buy vegetables in the town. You don't need to buy vegetables and fruits. Just go to our own stall to get them." What you have to buy is meat and vegetables, and you have to buy wine.”
Yang Huaming took the key in his hand: "I'm going to town to buy groceries. Why do you give me this key? Do you still have meat dishes in your house?"
Mrs. Liu glared at him fiercely: "I don't have meat and vegetables in my house, but I have money in my house. If you don't have money, how can you buy meat and vegetables and drink?"
If these words were put in the past, they would be what Yang Huaming dreamed of hearing.
But now, he was not happy to hear it.
Throwing the key on the table next to him, he said with a face: "You look down on people, I, Yang Huaming, don't gamble or go whoring now. I save every penny I earn. If I can't buy two tables of food, am I still a man?" ?”
Ms. Liu raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Yang Huaming, who was holding his head high and chest high in front of him, with a sneer on his face.
"Come on, a dog can't change his habit of eating shit, gambling or whoring, but he can't guarantee that the money will end up in the pockets of Widow Zhang and Widow Li. You'd better go buy groceries with my money and don't pick it up then. He’s so shrunken that he makes people laugh.”
Liu's bar key was put into Yang Huaming's hand again, and Yang Huaming was really annoyed.
He grabbed Mrs. Liu and forcefully stuffed the key back, "I don't want it if I don't want it, but I can't let a woman like you look down on me!"
He turned around and left. Mrs. Liu called him from behind, but he didn't even look back.
Mrs. Liu stamped her feet: "I can't be bothered to care about you, you idiot!"
"Whose mother are you with the surname Liu? I am his mother, don't be so blind!"
Mrs. Liu was busy complaining to Yang Huaming, but she ignored Mrs. Tan, who was sitting in the east room with her hands in the doorway, basking in the sun. No, she was choked by Tan.
Unless absolutely necessary, Mrs. Liu tried her best not to provoke Mr. Tan.
"Isn't it because he was angry? It's just a catchphrase..." she explained.
Mrs. Tan snorted, raised her nostrils and glared at Mrs. Liu: "Words are not enough. If you want to compete with me for seniority, there is no way."
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment. She really couldn't say anything in front of the old lady. She could pick out the bones from the eggs for you.
Mrs. Liu would give Mrs. Tan a chance, but not a second time. Anyway, she was no longer the wife of the old Yang family, so what was she afraid of?
"Should I say that you, an old lady, think too much? Or are you just trying to put your face on yourself? Are you trying to steal your seniority? Ha, even if you want to join me, I'm too lazy to do it..."
Tan suddenly stood up, pointed the crutch in his hand towards West House, and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? Who wants to bow to you? Can you say it again?"
Mrs. Liu raised her hand to close the bun on her head, and smiled strangely: "Let's talk about it again, I'm still afraid of you..."
"mother!"
The weak voice of the third girl suddenly came from behind.
Mrs. Liu turned around and saw the third girl standing with one leg on the ground, holding on to the door frame. The other curled up foot was still bandaged. Mrs. Liu was shocked: "My little aunt, why don't you just lie down on the bed?" Did you run to the ground? What if you bump into each other? Come on, come on, I'll help you go back and lie down!"
Ignoring the fight with Mrs. Tan, Mrs. Liu quickly helped the third girl back to the bed, let her lie down, and carefully pulled a thin quilt to cover her.
Outside in the yard, Mrs. Tan was still scolding Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu's face gradually became unsightly, and she moved faster to cover herself with the quilt.
The wrist was suddenly held by the third girl.
"Mom, please give me some respect and don't get too serious with me this time, okay?" The third girl raised her head, her still pale face full of requests.
Mrs. Liu said: "It's not that I don't give her face, you heard what happened in the room before, right? She was deliberately looking for trouble. If I didn't stand up and say a few words, she would think I had scared her!"
The third girl shook her head gently: "Mom, you are a junior, and those previous arguments were not a big deal after all. Does winning or losing in a few words matter so much? Don't go out, let her yell a few words, and naturally she will It turned off."
"Third girl, I'm your biological mother. Are you trying to help me with your breasts?"
The third girl smiled, "Mom, what did you say? I just want you to give me some face. Think about it, if something happens to me this time, my mother is also very anxious."
"I was even more anxious. I fainted several times." Liu said angrily.
The third girl gently rubbed Ms. Liu's hand: "So, you are all the same when it comes to caring about me."
At this point, the third girl came closer and lowered her voice: "Besides, my grandma came to see me last night and secretly gave me a red envelope, saying she wanted me to buy something to eat."
"Seriously?" Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes wandered around the bed like searchlights: "Where is the red seal? Take it out quickly and let me see how many coins are inside."
"Mom, you have to promise me that this matter is over now, even if my grandma nags me about it later..."
"I'll just think she's farting, or I'll pretend I'm deaf. That's alright, right?" Madam Liu assured her, patting her chest, "Well, take out the red envelope and look at it. She didn't even receive any of the new year's money. Damn it, I want to see how much money can be packed in this red envelope!"
…
Yang Huaming went to Yang Huazhong's house at the entrance of the village with a dark face to borrow the carriage.
Without saying a word, Yang Huazhong immediately put down his work and went to help Yang Huaming hitch the carriage.
Mrs. Sun looked at Yang Huaming's face and asked tentatively: "What's going on? Who did you quarrel with?"
Yang Huaming curled his lips and said angrily: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Liu's wife who looks down on others."
Snob?
Mrs. Sun couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't use random words. If the fourth brother and sister were really the kind of person you said, they would have remarried long ago. She is doing well in her own business, and there are also some shopkeepers in the town who are interested in her who want to renew their relationship. Yes, but the fourth brother and sister just won’t let go, what’s the reason for this, others don’t understand, don’t you understand?”
After Sun finished speaking, the dark fog on Yang Huaming's face seemed to have been blown away by the wind, and his whole person became brighter.
