Chapter 4 Marriage
"Grandma, you are so excited to eat chicken so early in the morning! You guys eat, I've finished, I'm going out first."
She also sent her father's portion to the house early.
After saying that, Zhou Qing left with a smile without waiting for Sun's reaction.
She had made her attitude clear yesterday. She didn't want to quarrel with the Zhou family unless it was necessary.
After all, anger makes people old, and poverty makes people unable to maintain themselves.
"Where are you running to again? Don't go out to the wild. Go to the fields with your uncle later!"
Sun was so angry that she jumped and yelled. Seeing that Zhou Qing was about to run out of the gate, she didn't care about scolding him about eating chicken.
Standing at the gate, Zhou Qing smiled from afar: "I'm going to the county to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for my father! Grandma, don't worry, I got up early and borrowed money from Chengwu!"
After saying that, Zhou Qing turned around and ran away.
Sun
Getting up early in the morning to welcome three consecutive critical hits!
"This little bastard deliberately wants me to die!" Slapping her thigh, Sun cursed loudly, "What bad luck has the Zhou family had in this life that I have to suffer this kind of suffering? My children and grandchildren are unfilial, my children and grandchildren are unfilial!"
When Mr. Zhou came back from the toilet, he saw this scene.
With a dark face, he said, "What's wrong with getting up so early in the morning?"
Sun cried and cursed and repeated what Zhou Qing had just said, "Why did she kill the chicken? She might as well kill me. I don't want to live anymore!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou's face turned black.
However, the perpetrator had already run away.
The die is cast and the chicken has been put into the basin.
In a while,
the pen, ink, paper and inkstone will also be bought back!
Mr. Zhou turned his head with a dark face and walked towards Zhou Huaishan's house.
Sun hurriedly followed, and Wang rolled her eyes and followed, pulling Zhou Huaihai as she walked.
Zhao looked at Zhou Huailin, "Shall we go?"
Zhou Huailin shook his head, "With mother's voice, you can hear it even if you don't go."
As he said that, Zhou Huailin took a few pieces of meat from the basin and gave them to Zhou Ping, "You eat first."
Zhou Ping wanted to say thank you, Dad, but when he opened his mouth, all his saliva leaked out.
Zhou Huaishan was lying on the kang, and when he heard the footsteps approaching outside, he took a deep breath.
It's time to test this marquis's skills!
As soon as Mr. Zhou entered the door, he saw Zhou Huaishan staring at the beams above his head with his big eyes.
"Awake?" With a dark face, Mr. Zhou sat on the kang.
Zhou Huaishan didn't say anything, his eyes were still staring at the beams, and on his honest face, there was a kind of despair of wanting to die.
In the past, when he lost the cricket fight, he often used this expression, and he was very accurate.
Seeing Zhou Huaihai didn't say anything, Sun patted him on the head, "Your father is talking to you, the dead girl is unfilial, and you are also unfilial?"
When she thought of the chicken in the basin, and when she thought of Zhou Qing saying that he borrowed money from Chengwu to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Sun felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.
A slap fell on Zhou Huaishan's head, and Zhou Huaishan didn't jump up in pain.
Character setting, character setting, character setting.
Important things should be repeated three times silently.
Zhou Huaishan still stared at the beams with a dead face, as if he was dead as ashes and motionless.
"Shanzi, what do you want? Dad and mom are here to see you, so you should tell me." Zhou Huaihai looked like he was disappointed with her, and sighed, "You let Qing girl make such a fuss, it's not good for her reputation."
Zhou Huaishan stared at the beams, his expression unchanged, but tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes, and they flowed.
In that way, anyone who saw it would feel that he had suffered great grievances.
Old Master Zhou's heart trembled.
After all, he is his own son.
"Do you blame your father?"
Zhou Huaishan didn't say anything, and cried even harder.
Sun was so angry, "Why are you crying? Your daughter got up early in the morning to kill the chickens at home, and now she has borrowed money from Chengwu to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone. I am not angry to death yet, why are you crying!"
As soon as Sun finished speaking, Zhou Huaishan cried out loudly, howling loudly, gasping while crying, and blowing bubbles from his nose from time to time.
Sun and Old Master Zhou were stunned.
The second child has never cried since he was three years old.
This.
Wang wanted to say a few words, but seeing that he was crying like this, it was not easy to interrupt for a while, so she just pulled Zhou Huaihai.
Zhou Huaihai sighed, "Shanzi, if you have any grievances, tell me."
Zhou Huaishan's howling became louder.
A family.
No matter what others say, Zhou Huaishan just burst into tears, crying so hard that it shook the earth and broke his heart. If you don't know, you would think someone in the family died.
There is no way, they can't communicate, so they can only go out.
Old man Zhou walked towards the kitchen with a dark face.
Zhou Huaihai followed him and sighed: "Dad, I see Shanzi is like this, I'm afraid he is determined to study, otherwise."
Sun cursed: "What to study, there is no money at home."
Wang said: "But Qing girl and Chengwu borrowed money."
When she mentioned money, Sun felt pain in her heart.
"Borrowed money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, could it be that Chengwu also borrowed money for him to study!"
Wang opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she remembered the thing in her heart and looked at Zhou Huaihai. Zhou Huaihai shook his head, and Wang shut up.
The old couple and the eldest wife finished a luxurious breakfast with dark faces, and Sun cursed while eating.
I have never felt so painful in my heart when eating chicken.
After eating, the third roommate wiped his mouth and went to the field.
Carrying the hoe and walking away, Zhao said to Zhou Huailin: "Dad, why do you think the second brother is crying?"
Zhou Huailin did not answer Zhao's words, but said: "Maybe, this time we can really separate the family."
He really wanted to separate the family!
If the family is divided, they can save dowry for their daughter and support their son's education.
But the old couple and the first wife disagreed, and he and Zhou Huaishan had no say.
When Zhao heard about the family division, her eyes lit up, "Really?"
Zhou Huailin smiled, "It's almost true!"
On this side, the couple of the third wife were talking about exciting future.
On the other side, Wang cleaned up the kitchen and walked towards Sun's room.
"Mom, I have something to tell you. My nephew from my mother's family wants to marry into our family. Let me ask you what you think."
Sun made Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Qing so angry that she sat on the kang and said unhappily: "Isn't your nephew from your mother's family a cripple?"
Wang smiled and said: "Mom, he is a little lame, but he has no other problems. Besides, my brother and sister-in-law only have this one son, and the gift money is enough."
When Sun heard about the gift money, the anger on her face faded a little, "How much?"
Wang stretched out her hand and spread out her five fingers.
"All other gifts are fine, and another five taels of silver." Wang sighed, "Mom, with Qing's temper, if it weren't for my nephew from my mother's family who liked her, how could other families be willing to give such a good gift."
Raising a daughter is just to get more betrothal gifts when she gets married.
Sun took a breath, "I'll talk to the second brother about this."
"Hey!" Wang responded, "Mom, the second brother will listen to you in everything. If you agree, I will go back to my mother's house and tell my brother and sister-in-law so that they can come to propose marriage."
Sun
The second brother used to listen to her in everything.
But now.
Thinking of the second brother's crying just now, Sun felt aggrieved and uncertain.
She had to think about this matter carefully.
Zhou Qing, who was worried about his marriage, was sitting on a mule cart, following Cheng Wu from the same village into the county town.
