The journey was calm and there were no naughty children to cause trouble. Zhu Pingan rode the old scalper and Zhu Pingjun returned home smoothly.
Before I got home, I saw a lot of people outside the main gate of the Zhu family, huddled together, pointing and talking about the Zhu family courtyard. Many aunts and ladies were even more contemptuous.
Zhu Ping'an's heart trembled, something big happened to this family. He hurriedly urged Lao Niu to run home quickly, and Zhu Pingjun followed suit and squeezed in from the crowd.
The Zhu family courtyard was really in a mess, with cries, curses, and noises turning into a mess. Mother Chen and several sisters-in-law rarely stood on the same side, comforting the eldest aunt who was crying and scolding.
"Lightning struck at night, the wind blew again, and it started to rain. She stood weakly and pitifully at the door. The wind blew over and made her shiver. The rain came over and soaked her clothes. She was very helpless. My assistant was very pitiful and weak, and her tears were weak and hurtful. I knew that at this moment, she needed warmth, so I gave her dozens of coins to buy some clothes, but I didn't expect that she would reciprocate with my body. "The uncle stood there with a look of emotion on his face. It could be said that he was worried about the world before he could.
"Bah, is this why you took your shoes home after you broke them outside?" the eldest aunt spat, crying and scolding her, wanting to go up and bite off a piece of my uncle's flesh.
After hearing his uncle's explanation, Zhu Pingan had only four words in his mind: What a great uncle! Too shameless. It's raining a lot. It hasn't rained in more than a month. I need some warmth. It's still very hot at night these days.
Upon hearing this, my grandfather angrily chased his uncle all over the yard with a stick. My grandmother stopped him, fearing that my grandfather would hit his uncle with the big stick. The uncle now has no scholarly bearing at all, and his hair is all disheveled, probably because he was scratched by his aunt before. He covers his head like a drowned rat and runs around the yard, fearing that his face will be damaged by his old father's big stick.
"Hey, please be gentle, old man. Don't break our old man."
In a corner of the yard, standing against the wall, was a young woman with an orchid in her arms and a finger eating melon seeds. She looked like she could only dress up a bit, with powder on her eyebrows and a dusty look between her eyebrows. She was also wearing very bright clothes, which were better than those of ordinary women. She is a bit exposed and her voice is pretentious, so you can tell at a glance that she is not a serious woman.
Well, Zhu Ping'an almost understood the relationship. The uncle went to the county for only two days and brought a woman back. Didn't you say that you were on a study tour with friends? Why did you bring back an obviously immoral woman? Besides, where did you get the money? Two dollars is not enough.
"Bah! You shameless slut, who is your uncle? He is my man." The eldest aunt was so stimulated by this woman that she even put aside her usual pretense of magnificence and transparency. Because he was a shrew, he stepped forward and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the woman, then started cursing her.
That woman was not an economical person either. After being spat on by her eldest aunt, she roared and rushed towards her to start a fight. At this time, the role of the sister-in-law became apparent. The mother, Mrs. Chen, the fourth aunt, and the third aunt all abandoned their previous grievances and went to help the eldest aunt scratch the girl. They also took the time to scratch the girl. After a while, the girl was touched by the mother. The wife, the eldest aunt, and the others were pushed to the ground and scratched, especially on the face. Soon, the woman's plain clothes were messy, her hair was numb, and she was in a miserable state.
"Zhu Shouren, what did you say when you came? You are still not a man!" The woman was scratched and shouted at the uncle who was running around like a rabbit.
It doesn't help, the uncle himself is still a mud Buddha crossing the river and he can't save himself.
Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Pingjun were shocked by this scene almost as soon as they entered the yard. They couldn't recover for a long time. Women fighting was so crazy.
The grandfather over there also took the opportunity to hit the uncle with two sticks, feeling sorry for the grandmother and crying to heaven and earth.
"Dad, Dad, listen to me." The uncle hid behind his grandmother and spoke in a panic.
The father and the third uncle were stunned and didn't know what to do. The fourth uncle took the opportunity to look at the woman who was pushed to the ground by the aunt and the others, and took the opportunity to enjoy his eyesore.
He really didn't know what to say. Zhu Pingan came to his senses, got off the back of the cow, and quickly went to the gate and closed it to avoid being laughed at by outsiders. As for the rest, it's not up to you to be a naughty kid.
The courtyard was noisy for a long time, and then it gradually became quiet. The courtyard was simply turned into a trial meeting. Grandfather was sitting on the chair. Except for the uncle and the unruly woman, everyone else found stools and sat on both sides of the chair. The uncle and the woman stood in the middle looking embarrassed.
"You son of a bitch, why don't you kneel down!" Grandfather was so angry that he couldn't help but cough.
Grandma quickly stretched out her hand to help her grandfather calm down, but he pushed her away and complained angrily, "You're the one who got used to it!"
The uncle was scolded by his grandfather and fell to his knees. His formerly clean face was now extremely embarrassed.
"Dad, listen to me, this was not my son's idea." The uncle insisted on explaining.
"It's not your idea. You lead the family."
Upon hearing this, the grandfather angrily threw the big pipe rod in his hand at his uncle. The uncle dodged with sharp eyes, and the big pipe rod fell to the ground, splashing a burst of mud. If the uncle hadn't escaped, he would definitely be beaten.
When the grandfather saw his uncle running away, he became even more angry. His fingers trembled in anger, "Tell me, what did you say when you asked your wife to ask your mother for money? Study tour, study tour, that's how you study tour!"
I don’t know whether the uncle’s face was red from embarrassment or from the exhaustion of running just now. In short, he kept his face red and said, “Dad, I don’t want to either. I went to the county to study with colleagues, but there was no one.” After discussing knowledge together, he admired his son's knowledge very much, so he invited me to their home for a drink. It was raining lightly at that time, and Juan'er was waiting outside the door in thin clothes. Her son couldn't bear it, so he gave her money to buy some extras. She wanted to wear clothes to protect her from the cold. Unexpectedly, she was like a promise. When her son’s friend saw that his son was alone and had no one to take care of him, he gave Juaner to his son for nothing. The son also tried to avoid it in every possible way. But the man forced her to give it to his son. , and also said that his son does not regard him as a friend, and if the son does not accept it, he will cut off his ties with his son, and he will not tell his son the test points that his mentor told him, so the son cannot shirk it, and the son is helpless."
The uncle's few words meant two things. I didn't buy this woman with money. It was a friend who admired my knowledge and insisted on giving it away for free. I was helpless.
This is too confusing. Zhu Pingan is really speechless. Who are you? You are not even a scholar. They give you a beautiful concubine for free, but you can't shirk it in every possible way.
When the uncle said this, Zhu Pingan clearly saw the ridicule on the corner of the woman's mouth.
"Old man Xiaoxiaohuo, didn't you listen to what the boss said? It was given as a gift. Can't we just give it back to them?" Grandma spoke for the uncle on the side.
The fourth aunt gently interjected from the side, "Since it was given to me for free, where is the money that the elder brother took with him when he left?"
Mother Chen gave her fourth aunt a look of appreciation.
"Of course we have money." The uncle said without confidence.
"Where's the money?" The fourth aunt held on tightly.
The uncle reached out and took out a handful of money from his sleeve and put it in grandma's hand.
Well, the total is less than ten cents.
The grandfather's anger had not subsided, but now it became even more angry. He couldn't help but take the stick at his feet again. When the grandmother saw this, she immediately rushed over and held down the stick, turned to the uncle and shouted, "You bastard, why don't you get angry?" Please explain!"
"Son, my son and his colleagues in the county treated his mentor to a meal, which cost a lot..." the uncle stammered in explanation.
"His eldest brother, that's only two taels of silver, enough to feed our family for half a year, and it's just one meal." His mother, Mrs. Chen, lamented.
But instead of punishing the uncle, the grandmother gave the fourth aunt and Mrs. Chen a hard look and told them not to talk nonsense. ;
