Shen Zeqi looked at his wife, who was sitting on the kang with her head lowered and not knowing what she was thinking, and felt weak: "My uncle and mother-in-law also came to see me a few days ago and said almost the same thing to you. Come on, what did you say to them? Did you say that I, Shen Zeqi, was incompetent and could not give you a good life, or did you say that the Shen family treated you badly?"
That day, Shen Zeqi, Father Shen, Uncle Shen and Shen Songjie had just come down from the medicine field on the mountain. They met Uncle Liu and his mother Liu in the village. They had been busy all morning and they were all very tired. They exchanged pleasantries for two days. Ju saw that the Liu family had no intention of leaving, so he guessed that they might have something to tell him.
Naturally, the second cousin Shen Songjie noticed it. Perhaps he felt that it was difficult for the Liu family to speak because of the presence of elders, so he asked Father Shen and Uncle Shen to go home first, while he squatted on the roadside of the village waiting for him.
How could Shen Zeqi have imagined that the Liu family not only had something to say to him, but also educated Shen Songjie together. He still remembers word for word what his uncle from the Liu family said that day.
"Zeqi, don't blame me for being a talkative brother-in-law. Your Shen family is now a big business family. You are still working in the fields and mountains all day long. Who does the work in the fields? , you, the boss, don’t go to town to discuss business, and stay in disgrace all day long, don’t you make people laugh? Even if you don’t care, you still have to consider my Honglian.”
Shen Songjie listened to these words and felt more and more uncomfortable. He thought that the Liu family was here to teach his brother a lesson. He stood up and walked over: "Boss Liu, what do you mean? My cousin can do whatever he wants." What, as my mother-in-law, are you being too strict with me?"
The uncle of the Liu family was humiliated by Shen Songjie, and he stumbled back: "You, Shen Laoer, I, I am Shen Zeqi's uncle, why are you talking to me!"
Shen Songjie thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that you are Liu's mother-in-law, what he said would be a hundred times uglier than this. If the Liu family disliked that they were doing farm work, they shouldn't have entered into this marriage in the first place. Now the children are all If someone comes to make irresponsible remarks after giving birth, if you can, take his daughter back and marry her to someone they are satisfied with, so as not to delay his brother here.
At this time, Liu's mother hurriedly came out and pulled her eldest son away, trying to smooth things over with the Shen brothers: "It was just a small talk, why are we getting into a quarrel now? Our Hongxia family has already married Zeqi, so of course we are all I hope that the two of them will get along as well as possible, but Songjie, as an elder, I have to say a few words to you. You are a cousin, and you have to know how to promote your own brothers. There are some things that Zeqi doesn't understand. Yes, you have to take care of him more often, how could you just leave him at home if he doesn't know how to do it?"
After all, the other party was his cousin's mother-in-law. Shen Songjie couldn't speak like he did just now and could only stand aside silently.
At this moment, Shen Zeqi just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. What he didn't know was that he had found his wife's family to put pressure on his second cousin. He only left one sentence: "The Shen family's family affairs should not be bothered by the Liu family. !」
Then he grabbed his cousin beside him, ignored his wife's family, turned around and left.
Shen Songjie looked at his somewhat dull cousin and advised him, "The Liu family only survives after eating enough. Don't take it too seriously. Go back and talk to your siblings. Don't quarrel."
Shen Zeqi was even more ashamed after hearing his cousin's words: "Second cousin, this is all up to me. Don't take it to heart. I don't want to go to town to discuss business. Whenever you call me, I only want to go home." When there was work in the fields, I put it off, but I didn’t expect that outsiders would miss you so much. I..." ap.
Shen Songjie put his hand on his cousin's shoulder, shook it and said, "Brother, I don't know you. You haven't liked to go to crowded places since you were a child. You deliberately drag yourself home to find other jobs. I really think I'm looking at you." If you don’t come out, as a cousin, how can I argue with you about this?”
"As for the Liu family, Mrs. Liu should have said something when she went back. Second cousin, don't worry, I will talk to her when you go back."
"Hey, hey, it's better to say goodbye. Just wait until you have the opportunity to talk to her properly. Right now, you are so angry that if you don't get it right, you're going to start an army to accuse her. Besides, what if it's not Liu's business? Listen to me. Cousin, we men have to be more generous."
Ms. Liu did complain a few times to her parents' family a while ago, but she really had no choice. The man wouldn't listen to her, and she couldn't get involved in the Shen family's business, so she had no choice but to talk to her brother when she returned to her parents' home.
Chang Aniang asked to see if there was any other way. Who would have thought that they went directly to Shen Zeqi.
"My husband, I don't have one. How could I tell Aniang and the others that you are incompetent? I just want them to help me come up with ideas to see how I can, how I can make you..."
"What do you want me to do? You want me to go to the town like my second cousin and do what you think a boss should do, right? I've told you before, I'm not the boss, and I don't want to go to the town. , that job is not suitable for me. My second cousin can do it better, so just let him do it. Why can’t you understand? Do you know that my mother-in-law asked my second cousin in front of me to take more care of him in the future? Look at me, and when you promote more brothers, I can’t wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!”
Mrs. Liu felt very wronged. It wasn't that she didn't understand, she just couldn't understand, or she didn't believe Shen Zeqi's words at all. How could there be someone in this world who was just enjoying the scenery and enjoying the boss instead of doing it, and would rather carry the burden every day? The hoe goes into the mountains and into the fields.
She felt that the man must have been bullied by his second cousin, but he was obsessed with saving face and refused to admit it because he was concerned about the friendship between the family: "Second cousin, second cousin, you are almost bullied to death, and you still care about the whole family. As for your affection, I don’t know if they regard you as a brother! It’s all the work of the family, why should you bully others like this? My husband, if you are embarrassed to say it, I will say it. If my second cousin doesn’t want to take you, , let’s go find our cousin. Her shop has more contacts with the bosses. If you learn from your brother-in-law, you will definitely be better than your second cousin in the future. We can do things ourselves, so why do we have to be pressured by others all the time!"
"enough!"
Shen Zeqi looked at the completely unreasonable woman in front of him, and was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of strangeness and powerlessness: "Liu Honglian, let me say it for the last time, it was because I didn't want to go to town to negotiate business, so I pushed it all to my second cousin. Yes, I, Shen Zeqi, am such a loser. I was like this before we got married, and I have been like this all my life. If you dislike it, just say so as soon as possible. I will go and beg my parents to allow us to divorce and let go. Go to your house."
Mrs. Liu never thought that Shen Zeqi would want to reconcile with her because of this matter. She rolled over from the kang and rushed towards the man. While beating her, she cried and cursed: "Peace! Shen Shenze Jie, do you still have a conscience? Why am I doing this? It’s not for you, but for our little family. I, Liu Honglian, have been married to you for so many years and have flourished for your Shen family. I have worked hard without any credit, but you actually just Because you want to reconcile with me over such a small matter, your conscience will be eaten by a dog!"
Liu's noise woke up Sanqi, who was already sleeping. After all, he was just a child of four or five years old. When he saw his parents quarreling, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"We'll talk after you calm down."
Shen Zeqi didn't want to continue arguing with Mrs. Liu, so he walked to the kang and picked up Sanqi, turned around and left the house. As soon as he took two steps, he bumped into the Shen family members who heard the noise and ran out of their rooms to check.
When Aunt Shen saw her son holding her still sobbing grandson, she guessed that the young couple must have had a quarrel. She hurriedly stepped forward to take Sanqi over and said, "What's going on? You're a grown man and don't know what's going on at noon." Give way to your wife!"
Shen Songjie was the only one in the family who knew what happened to the Liu family a few days ago. He didn't even tell his wife and mother-in-law. When he saw his cousin and his wife quarreling, he guessed that it was because of that incident. He knew that Shen Zeqi Afraid that she couldn't speak directly in front of the whole family, she hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Second aunt, how can a couple not quarrel? I'll wait for my cousin to go to my room to calm down. If anything happens, I'll wait for a while." Let’s talk about it later.”
Shen Luzhu also wondered if this was because Mrs. Liu was looking for trouble for him just now. Just when he was hesitating how to persuade him, he saw Shen Zeqi coming towards him first and said in a confused way: "Lu Zhu , she says whatever she likes, and you just pretend you didn’t hear her.”
"Cousin..."
"Listen to my cousin."
Aunt Shen was wondering what the brother and sister were playing riddles when she saw Mrs. Liu who heard the movement outside the house and opened the door. Seeing the tears on her face, she ignored her and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mrs. Liu, are you What's going on with Zeqi? You tell A Niang that if that brat bullies you, A Niang will teach him a lesson for you!"
Although Mrs. Liu felt that she was doing good for Shen Zeqi, she also knew that she was not that unreasonable about it. After all, her parents had secretly found a man and her second cousin, and she had secretly found Shen Luzhu. Not so good
, hemmed and hawed for a long time, but couldn’t tell the reason.
The second aunt, Ms. Zheng, knew her daughter-in-law well and her son even better. When she saw the young couple acting like this, she knew that Ms. Liu was most likely at fault. She sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't rest at noon, the babies are still here." If you want to rest, please go back to the house. Zeqi will carry Sanqi and me to your father's house, and then come back to the house for me. I'll talk to you two."
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Shen's mother came to her daughter and son-in-law. Although she didn't know what the fuss was about today, she also guessed that it might have something to do with her daughter. , then said: "Just listen to your cousin, don't think too much, go back and rest with your son-in-law."
Shen Luzhu could not sleep at this time, but he didn't know what to do, so he and Chu Yi could only go back to the house first.
Seeing that his wife was a little weak, Chu Yi hugged her and comforted her: "Let's ask the second brother privately later. If there is really any difficulty, of course we will help. Don't think about it now. The elders will definitely handle it." of."
Zheng and Liu entered the room and asked directly without hesitation: "Tell me, what is the reason for today?"
Seeing Mrs. Liu didn't speak, Mrs. Zheng was not annoyed and continued: "If you don't say it now, won't it be the same when Xia Zeqi comes back? The daughter of the family will come back with her son-in-law for a day, and you guys will make such a fuss. I don't know. I thought you had some objections to our Luzhu, but I just heard what Zeqi said, what did you say to Luzhu?"
