Chapter 13: Uninvited Guest
At dinner that day, an uninvited guest came.
Wu, the aunt of the Zhou family, came uninvited with her pregnant daughter-in-law Shen and her third aunt Zheng's fourth aunt Jin.
The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family really can't respect the elders of their family. When they first returned to the old house, they came very diligently. Every time they came, they didn't have enough eyes to have a long hand. At that time, the Zhou family did not realize that they would live in this place for a long time. Seeing that they were elders, they had nothing to be filial. It is said that sometimes when they see something smooth, they also open one eye and close the other.
Who knows that when the money is scattered, but the parents are far away from trust, the so-called relatives are not as good as the neighbors. The second mother sometimes gritted her teeth to borrow some food. Except for the uncle and aunt who borrowed half a catty for the sake of her grandparents, others were watching the fire across the shore and had to sneer. Finally, they simply pointed to scold the locust, the Zhou family Brothers and sisters have never experienced this, so they just think that they don't have these relatives.
So, when Wu and others were asked to enter the lobby room by Zhou's mother with a look of watching jokes, the family only put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up. Others pretended not to see them.
Wu and others's faces changed again and again. The old man said that at the end of the year, he had to ask them to bring some food to the children. When they deliberately chose dinner, they just wanted to see the embarrassment of the young ladies of this group of the superior second family.
Who knows that there are three tables in this big house, each with fish, meat, tofu and green vegetables! It's fish and green vegetables!
Shen is pregnant, and he can't smell such a fragrant rice. He almost stares at the dining table with good eyes.
These are three tables! What is this rule? On this person's table, it's too much to eat the same food as the owner!
Wu curled his lips and said, "What a sin! The old lady in the family doesn't know where to mess up, and you have begun to lose your family!"
Er Niang put the bowl heavily on the table and trembled with anger, "Madam, who is the loser?"
Kim rushed to say, "Look at those colorful ice lamps on the wall of your yard. How many candles do you need to use?" People from our village, who do you see using so many candles at night? Look at your table full of fish and meat. How much money does it cost? Even if there are fish and meat, you also have grandparents, you should also honor them first, right? Look at how many of you are children, just a small piece of land, and there are so many servants. Your uncle's family is not working hard. You should also let them serve the suffering elders when you raise this group of idle people, right?
Xue saw that she was looking at these people curiously while eating. After hearing this, her hands trembled with joy, and the dishes fell on the table. Zhou Bo stared at her from afar. Xuejian couldn't help laughing for fear that she would endure internal injury. I have seen something annoying and funny, but I have never seen such a straightforward saying.
Wuniang and Liulang jumped out one after another. Wuniang asked first, "Senior? Where are the elders?
Liulang pointed to the Jin family: "These old men..." were stared back by Zhou Bo, "These old people are our legendary elders, fifth sister, have you forgotten?"
Wuniang sneered: "Element? When we came back, we had seen the elders several times. When we left, the elders who came to visit the younger generation did not go back empty-handed!"
Liulang continued, "Later, when we had no food to eat, the second sister borrowed food several times, but I heard that it was rare to see the elders' faces."
Wu saw that there was not even a person who let them sit down. Wu Niang Liulang squeezed them with words, and no one stopped them. At that moment, his face was blue and he said unscrupulatively, "If it weren't for our help, would you guys have been able to eat and drink well?"
At this time, Zixue couldn't help laughing, and she quickly covered her mouth.
Siniang stood up and said coldly, "It's really a blessing for our elders. Our family hasn't starved to death, and we can still eat well. Excuse me, elders, are you helping the fish on our table? Did you take the meat? Did you take the dishes? Or did you take the cotton-padded clothes on us? By the way, I think the hairpin on the head of the aunt and the two aunts is familiar and tight. Isn't it taken from us?"
Xue's eyes lit up and said that there should be applause here. Unexpectedly, the four ladies were usually tingled and spoke to the nail on the head.
Zheng's mind is the most lively, and she secretly thought about it. Isn't it that the Erberto people have come back? Otherwise, how can these prodigalers who have no land, no money and no income eat and drink so much? Look, these children don't have a city government. Now they eat with their servants. Isn't the money managed by some powerful servants? She turned her eyes and curled her lips and said, "This second uncle's tutor is really good. I have never heard of the master eating with his servants."
Zhou's mother and others all looked down. They had been together for a long time. Although they were defeated, they were still full of rules. Later, they were poor and hungry and supported each other. They could only eat after the snow came.
Zhou Bo Er Niang and others were impressed that they not only did not take the opportunity to leave the Zhou family, but also took care of them more carefully, so Xuejian suggested that everyone eat together.
Now that Zhou Bo and others have been criticized for this incident, they are ashamed and ashamed. Zhou's mother and Du's mother were even more tearful. They were waiting to leave the table and kneel down. Xue Jian stood up and helped them and said loudly, "What is a subordinate? What is a superior? These servants in your eyes are reluctant to give food to the masters, those who are reluctant to drink, and those who are reluctant to use to give to the masters. They pull down their faces and borrow things around to try their best to support the masters. Compared with those who are single-minded to take advantage of the younger generation and do not return the land, they are in vain to call themselves. The elders are more than a thousand times stronger?
Although the Zhou brothers and sisters and the Du family are different, they are full of tears in eyes. Several arrogant elders were extremely embarrassed and unable to refute them.
Kim reluctantly pointed to Xue Jian and said, "I haven't seen you before. What are you?"
Xue Jian turned his head and scolded directly, "You are the thing, and your whole family is a thing!"
She hates and hates her scolding level. Why didn't she learn from two bad friends in her previous life? Those two are really masters who curse without dirty words, eat people without spitting bones, and fight against people day and night without heavy words. One can tell the living people to death, and the other can talk about the dead people alive.
Under the candlelight, Xue's face was frosty, but it was still as beautiful as ordinary. Shen suddenly retreated two steps and trembled and said, "Are you the one who flew from the sky on New Year's Eve?" She suddenly covered her mouth and hid behind Wu's.
Several women instantly remembered the rumors in the village and looked at the food that could only be made into magic. The fish can also be bought in the town or county. Isn't the green garlic sprouts only available at this time? Thinking about the Ming Ba, the family also borrowed grain everywhere. Since childhood, the foxes have come here. Not only have they not seen them borrow grain, but I heard that even the neighbors who are usually close to them have been stained with big fish, meat and vegetables.
The woman in front of her has crystal clear skin and picturesque eyebrows. Although she is young, she is charming**. She is not a fox spirit, but what is she?
Xue was furious and opened her mouth to continue to scold. You are a fox spirit. Your family is full of fox spirits. Before you scolded, Zhou Bo suddenly got up and patted the table. The four people were trembling. Hearing this, they almost lost their souls, and Kim sat directly on the ground.
"Enough! Auntie, third aunt and fourth aunt, where do you look like half of your elders? You come here to talk nonsense. I only think that you are spreading the disease. Today I clearly tell you that although Xuejian is only my girl, her words are my words. I hope you can remember them! And the people you are talking about," Zhou Bo pointed to Zhou Mancang and said in a low voice, "These people are the elders of my Zhou family and my relatives!"
