Because he was threatened by the scheming little loli to tell a story for a while, Zhu Pingan didn't have time to grill the fish today. When he came home from school, he took the entire fish basket home. Today’s fish supply is not as abundant as yesterday’s, but there are five palm-sized fish for comfort.
I rode the old scalper back home and found that the house was in a mess.
The fourth aunt, the third aunt, and mother Chen were having fun with the eldest aunt and grandmother in the noisy yard.
It must have been caused by the eldest aunt asking for two pieces of money from my grandmother, but I don’t know who was responsible. Three against one, the grandmother didn't say a word, the mother couldn't suffer, so Zhu Pingan didn't step forward.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you colluding with the in-laws' family to play tricks on us? A few days ago, the in-laws' family sent us a lot of money, and yesterday you asked for two dollars from your mother. The loan sharks are not that high, right? I asked the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law Ask, you are saying that we are causing trouble for the family and destroying the brotherhood, so we can't ask anymore?" The fourth aunt looked aggrieved and vomited her bitterness.
"Didn't I tell you? It's not what you think. Your eldest brother is going to the county for a few days to study. He will definitely be a scholar next time. By then, our family will enjoy the scenery together. He can be on an equal footing with the county magistrate without having to kneel down. If you can be exempted from taxes and corvee, I am not telling you, my fourth brother and sister, that you should take a long-term view. How can your eldest brother forget about you when he gets rich?" The eldest aunt was able to cope with the fourth aunt's questioning, with a sullen smile on her face, and said The eldest sister persuades her ignorant little sister.
"In the middle, in the middle, my sister-in-law says this every time, and I haven't seen my eldest brother ever get it!" the fourth aunt muttered in a low voice.
"Fourth brother and sister, what did you just say?" The smile on the eldest aunt's face couldn't be held back, and it broke.
"No, I didn't say anything. How do we know whether the eldest brother used these two coins to go on a study tour or to please his in-laws?" The fourth aunt waved her hands repeatedly. Who didn't know that the eldest brother's success was the eldest sister-in-law's wish, but she didn't dare to touch it. This brow just leads the topic to other places.
"That's right, sister-in-law, two dollars is not a small sum of money. If we use it ourselves, Jun'er can learn from it, and it will be enough for my piggy to learn from it as well." Mother Chen continued.
After hearing this, the eldest aunt looked at Zhu Ping'an who was riding an old scalper outside the door and coming in with a fish basket. The smile on her face was a bit disdainful, but she still smiled and said:
"Second brother and sister, I think Shi'er is doing well in herding cattle. You see, Shi'er has caught fish again. I originally didn't want my Jun'er to go to elementary school. I wanted to keep him in the fields to herd cattle, but I'm a fortune teller. I have to say that my Jun'er is a Wenquxing who descended to earth. I even saw several fortune tellers who said so. What else can I say, if I don't send Jun'er to school, it will be forbidden by God. I'm afraid to say that. I told my wife at home, but to my surprise, her grandma immediately sent me the money."
Zhu Ping'an saw that his mother's face turned blue because of what his aunt said about holding a gun and a stick. He saw that his mother was about to step forward to discuss swordsmanship with aunt Huashan.
At this time, Zhu Pingjun also came back from school outside the door, because Zhu Ping'an rode the old scalper faster.
"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore. The old master doesn't like me and slaps my palms every day. You can see they are swollen. Anyway, I will never go there again."
Zhu Pingjun yelled as soon as he entered the door, stretched out his little hand that was red from the master's beating, cried with snot and tears, and said that he would never go to school again.
Although Zhu Ping'an was dressed simply and had patches, he was chubby and quiet; Zhu Pingjun was well-dressed and had new clothes, but his face was full of snot and tears, and his face was still muddy. trace. Looking at it, Zhu Ping'an looked more like a student of elementary school, while Zhu Pingjun looked like he was wearing a crown like a monkey, but he looked like a cow herder.
Mother Chen looked at this scene, the anger on her face suddenly disappeared, and she returned it to the eldest aunt with the same expression and eyes as the eldest aunt just now.
The eldest aunt was so stimulated by her mother, Mrs. Chen, and then looked at her son who was crying and fussing that the master slapped his palms every day and never wanted to go to school again, she suddenly exploded.
"I told you not to go to school anymore. I told you not to study hard in school... Do you know how much your parents have worked hard for your tuition..." The eldest aunt could no longer maintain the situation just now. The sisters-in-law were so angry that they couldn't hold back their anger. They grabbed Zhu Pingjun over with one hand, took the broomstick that was put aside, and slapped it on Zhu Pingjun's butt.
"Oh, sister-in-law, if you're angry, don't hit the child. What does Jun'er know at such a young age? Don't break Wenquxing." His mother, Mrs. Chen, was not someone who wanted to suffer. What she said sounded like she was protecting Zhu Ping. Jun, but in fact, what he said was ridiculing the eldest aunt.
"Sister-in-law, you just said how much money you spent on Jun'er's education. Did I hear you correctly? Didn't you say that Jun'er's schooling was paid for by the in-laws' family?" The fourth aunt had sharp ears and caught the eldest aunt's words. Hold on tight.
The third aunt who had been silent also spoke up, "I heard my sister-in-law say that too."
The aunt who was lecturing her son paused when she heard this. Zhu Pingjun broke free from her hands and did not run away. He just lay down on the ground and rolled, crying loudly as he rolled, " Beat me to death, beat me to death, anyway, I will never go to school again."
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Pingjun turned into a mud monkey. Two white streaks of tears rushed out from his face, which was in sharp contrast with the mud on his face. There were still two mud snot hanging on his nose. He was crying so miserably. .
"Brother Jun, get up, the floor is dirty." Little Loli Yu'er timidly emerged from a corner, walked up to Zhu Pingjun and coaxed.
Zhu Pingjun kicked himself and ignored Xiao Yuer.
Zhu Ping'an got off the back of the old scalper and walked over with the fish basket. He looked at Zhu Pingjun, who was like a mud monkey, and then at Xiao Yu'er, who was blinking her big watery eyes and asking for help, and said something. :
"Let's go, Xiao Yu'er. My brother caught several fish from the river. Let's put them in the water basin to play. There is a fish with a colorful back, which is very beautiful."
As Zhu Pingan said this, he took Xiao Yu'er and carried the fish basket to the well in the yard, where there was a water basin.
"There are nice-looking fish, wait for me, wait for me, I'll go too." Zhu Pingjun, who was rolling and crying on the ground, stopped crying when he heard that there was something fun and nice to see. He got up from the ground and stretched out his mud. Wiping away the tears and snot with his paws, he ran after Zhu Pingan like a normal person.
Everyone in the yard looked at this scene blankly.
Then
The fourth aunt reacted first and asked the eldest aunt, "Sister-in-law, you haven't answered what I and the third sister-in-law just said. Isn't Jun'er's education paid for by the Yue family? Why did you and the eldest brother spend so much money? The strength?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you have to tell us."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we are a family. We can't hide anything from our sisters-in-law."
The yard started to be noisy again. ;
