Across the half-height stone courtyard wall of Lao Wang's house, Yang Ruoqing saw Wang Hongquan squatting on the abandoned stone mill in the middle of the yard smoking a cigarette. His cousin Wang Hongtao stood beside him, still talking. with some words of relief.
Hearing the footsteps, Wang Hongtao glanced this way. After seeing the person clearly, he quickly pushed Wang Hongquan, who was squatting there with his head drooped: "Brother, your parents and the others are here."
Wang Hongquan raised his head and saw Mrs. Sun helping Mrs. Tan enter the courtyard, followed by Yang Ruoqing.
Wang Hongquan was so frightened that he quickly jumped down from the stone mill, took a few steps towards Tan, and greeted Tan and the others.
Sun and Yang Ruoqing spoke to Wang Hongquan in a friendly manner as usual, and Yang Ruoqing also took the initiative to say hello to Wang Hongtao.
As for Ms. Tan, she did not scorn the two brothers at all. She glanced around the yard with one eye and asked Wang Hongquan in a cold voice: "Where is my daughter? What have you, Mr. Wang's family, done to her?"
Wang Hongquan was stunned and turned to look at Wang Hongtao. Both brothers had the urge to vomit blood.
Wang Hongquan smiled bitterly and said: "What my mother-in-law said is serious. Mei'er is the daughter of your old Yang family and the daughter-in-law of our old Wang family. She is a member of the family. We are family members, not enemies..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just going to ask my girlfriend where she is!" Mrs. Tan interrupted Wang Hongquan's explanation angrily, glanced at Wang Hongquan from head to toe, shook her head, and whispered with contempt on her face: "Just pull the text when you come up. , It feels like you’re full of ink, why don’t you go and get the top score and come back? You’re so shameless!”
Because the two parties stood very close to each other, it was inevitable that Tan's murmur was heard by both parties.
Or maybe Tan didn't intend to hide it from the beginning. The old lady has such a character. To describe it in a lyric, it goes like this:
My heart wants you to hear it, my love wants you to see it, and I am not afraid to admit how much I hate you.
When I 'hate' you, I hope you can hear my 'taunting'...
Obviously, Wang Hongquan heard all of Tan's thoughts and was angry and annoyed but could not get angry.
Sun did not dare to persuade him, so he could only smile apologetically at Wang Hongquan.
Yang Ruoqing knew that she couldn't let the two of them stand face to face and look at each other like this anymore, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of words that would destroy people's views later.
"Where's my aunt? My aunt left something at my house earlier, and we specially delivered it to her."
Although Wang Hongquan and Wang Hongtao knew that Tan was worried about Yang Huamei and came to support him, as a member of the old Yang family, Yang Ruoqing felt that the words should be nice and smooth, so as to save some face and a buffer for both parties. platform.
After all, they are relatives, not life-or-death enemies.
Wang Hongtao received Yang Ruoqing's message and immediately said with a smile: "We just sent Xiao Hei out and he returned to school. Mei'er should be packing things in the room right now. Let me shout for you!"
As Wang Hongtao sang a few words, the window in the west wing in front opened a little, and Yang Huamei poked her head out.
When she saw Tan and Wang Hongquan confronting each other in the yard, Yang Huamei was startled. When the window cover fell with a bang, people kicked their shoes and ran into the yard in a panic.
"Mom, it's almost dark, why are you still here?"
"Isn't it because I don't trust you? I'm afraid they will bully you one more time." When Tan said this, he deliberately glanced at Wang Hong's body.
Last time, Meier and Xiao Hei had an argument. This dead old man was lying in there favoring Xiao Hei. Meier was so angry that she almost hung her neck. The people of the Old Wang family only protect the people of the Old Wang family. Even if the daughter-in-law gives birth to children, they will all be from a foreign surname. , they don’t even kiss each other, the old and the young are all a bunch of heartless white-eyed wolves.
Wang Hongquan had a dark face and remained silent. Facing this difficult old lady, silence was the best weapon.
Wang Hongtao patted Wang Hongquan on the shoulder: "Brother, come and sit at my house for a while. I happen to have something I want to discuss with you."
Wang Hongquan nodded and said to Yang Huamei: "Mei'er, please entertain your mother and sister-in-law, and I'll go to your uncle's house."
"Okay, dad and uncle, go about your business."
Yang Huamei now hopes that one of the two sides will withdraw first.
After the Wang brothers left, Yang Huamei hurriedly came over to hold Tan's other arm, and together with Sun, she helped the old lady enter the west room.
On the way, Mrs. Tan couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Hei didn't contradict you when we came back earlier, right? Did that old dog Wang Hongquan not try to make you angry with Xiao Hei?"
Yang Huamei smiled and shook her head, then turned around and poured tea for them.
"Auntie, there's no need to pour it for me, I can't drink it." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Sun also stood up: "I don't want it either, no need to bother."
Mrs. Tan waved her hands and said, "Stop making false moves. I'm here to ask you something, not to drink tea. Come to me and tell me in detail."
Yang Huamei put back the tea bowl she just picked up, and returned to Mrs. Tan with a wry smile.
"What are you talking about? Just like that, the child is not easy to worry about. He will always argue with me every few words he says. Even if I beat him and scold him so that he dare not talk back, my words will probably go to one ear and the other. What comes out of the ears is probably not heard in the heart.”
"This bastard, you really don't know your blessings even though you're in the midst of blessings!" Ms. Tan stamped her feet angrily.
"Xiao Hei went to school?" Yang Ruoqing also asked.
Yang Huamei glanced at her and nodded helplessly.
"I probably didn't want to go. On the way to visit me at noon, I was very excited and said that I would go back to school after eating Laba porridge. I didn't respond to him at the time."
"I came back earlier and listened to my scolding. Most likely because I was annoyed. I couldn't stay at home anymore, so I just picked up two books and ran away. I didn't let my grandpa and grandpa give them to me."
"We have no choice. We have to beg his cousin to chase him. It would be best to see him enter the school with our own eyes."
At this point, Yang Ruoqing and the others also understood why Wang Hongtao was accompanying Wang Hongquan in this courtyard.
"That bastard, after eating his father's birthday wine, he shouted to go to his third uncle's house for dinner. He didn't leave even after he was done. He was still thinking about Laba porridge. After finishing Laba porridge, he wanted to stay at home and eat the food of his cousin Xiangxiang who came out of the palace. Where’s the wedding wine?”
Tan was scolding again, "After the third girl came out of the cabinet, it will be time to kill the New Year pig and eat the pig rice. Then we can't leave. Why don't you tell him to just finish the New Year? No, after the New Year It’s better to go to school again during the Lantern Festival. If it still doesn’t work, then don’t study. If you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, do you really think studying is child’s play? If you don’t study hard, you will be wasting your time. It is still a waste. Your money!"
Tan's breath didn't stop, and after he finished speaking, he felt very contented, and his whole body was so permeable, as if he had opened up the Ren and Du meridians.
But Yang Huamei's head was about to be sold to her crotch, and she was so ashamed that she felt ashamed...
