Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5419 Ox Cart
"Let's go."

The woman's voice softened a bit, "The bed has been made for Auntie."

"Aunt, go to bed early..."

……

The woman took the woman away.

……

The woodcutter looked at the young scholar.

……

The young scholar pursed his lips slightly.

"I'm sorry, brother."

Because of what happened in the afternoon, he was a little impulsive.

If he had been nicer to the woman just now, the following incident would not have happened.

……

The woodcutter shook his head.

"She's always thinking about it. No matter how you treat her, she will say those words."

"What do you apologize to me for?"

The one who was scolded was obviously the young scholar.

……

The young scholar was silent.

Because just now the woman was a little angry with the woodcutter.

……

"All right."

The woodcutter reached out and patted the young scholar on the shoulder.

"Go back and read."

He knew it was not yet time for the young scholar to rest.

but……

"Rest early if you are tired."

"Don't force yourself."

……

"elder brother."

The young scholar hesitated to speak.

……

"what happened?"

The woodcutter was puzzled.

……

"What my aunt said just now..."

The young scholar doesn’t know what his brother thinks?
……

"Don't take her words to heart."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the woodcutter reached out and patted the young scholar on the shoulder.

"Although what my aunt said was unpleasant to hear, she was concerned about you."

"She just misunderstood."

"Just because you've heard it."

……

"Ah."

The young scholar smiled.

……

The woodcutter turned and left.

He paused slightly when he heard the door close behind him.

After a while, he shook his head and started walking again.

……

The next day, after breakfast, my aunt prepared to set off.

The woodcutter and the girl saw my aunt to the door.

……

The woman turned around and said, "Okay."

"Don't give it away."

"I'm going back."

My aunt looked down at the pork in her hand, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

“Thanks for the pork.”

She didn't take anything when she came.

I didn't expect that I would not return empty-handed.

This way she can explain herself when she returns.

This piece of meat is not cheap to buy.

……

"Aunt, be careful on your way back."

The woman smiled.

……

"Do not worry."

The woman nodded.

"In broad daylight."

“I’ve walked this road many times.”

……

The woodcutter and the girl watched the woman's figure go further and further away.

Then he turned and went back into the house.

……

The woman walked briskly.

With this piece of pork, the woman felt that her trip was worth it.

……

The woman was already thinking about what to do with the piece of pork.

I wasn't paying attention for a moment and was almost hit by a bullock cart.

The woman cried out immediately.

"Ouch!"

"You don't have eyes?"

"Ouch~"

The woman bent over and rubbed her feet.

Although she didn't get bumped into just now, she was startled and reacted a little too strongly, and it seemed that her foot was twisted.

……

The owner of the ox cart was a simple and honest old man.

I was a little at a loss as to what to do with the woman's threats.

All I know is to apologize awkwardly.

……

The woman's eyes rolled.

I have an idea in my mind.

……

The woman pretended to sigh.

The ox cart owner quickly agreed to the woman's request.

……

The woman got on the ox cart.

She's very lucky.

The direction of the ox cart was actually the same as the direction she was heading home.

This was also the reason why the ox cart owner agreed to give the woman a ride without any hesitation.

...Soon, there was another passenger on the ox cart.

She is a mother-in-law who carries a lot of bags.

Although he is old, he looks very capable.

He took advantage of his seniority and easily got on the ox cart.

……

At first, the woman and her mother-in-law sat opposite each other.

No one spoke.

Later, no one knew who spoke first, but the two of them came together and soon started chatting enthusiastically.

……

The mother-in-law came to see her daughter.

My daughter hasn't been back to her parents' home for several years because she was pregnant, gave birth, and is taking care of the child.

The mother-in-law missed her daughter and went to find her herself.

As a result, he was almost driven away by the servants in the mansion.

She shouted loudly, attracting many passers-by.

Later he was brought into the mansion.

But I didn't see my daughter.

Only a maid came to deliver the message.

Let her go back first.

She was also asked to take back everything she brought.

She was puzzled.

Praying and shouting.

But she was dragged away by a strong maid.

……

After standing at the door for a while, the mother-in-law left dejectedly.

……

"Why doesn't your daughter want to see you?"

The woman was curious.

……

"do not know."

Mother-in-law shook her head.

"Maybe……"

My mother-in-law narrowed her eyes slightly.

"She's still blaming me."

……

"Blame you?"

The woman became more and more confused.

"You are her mother."

How can children blame their mother?

……

My mother-in-law smiled.

"She blamed me for selling her for the bride price."

"But doesn't she look at herself now?"

"Wear gold and silver."

"The clothes on her body are all silk and satin."

"No other girl in the village has a better life than her."

"They all married country folk."

"Every day I am busy."

"As soon as I open my eyes, there is endless work to do..."

……

"The girl is young and ignorant."

The woman understood her mother-in-law's approach.

"She'll understand later."

"It's better for a rich family to do it."

“Children nowadays…”

The woman shook her head and sighed, "I don't know the good intentions of my elders."

"I'm going out this time..."

The woman told about her experience of going out this time.

……

"…I'm doing this for Jiro's own good."

"It's such a shame if a good person is ruined by studying."

"He's not even married yet."

"He really has ruined his brain. Which girl from a good family would marry him?"

……

"Do you think I have good intentions?"

The woman felt quite aggrieved about herself.

"In the end, they all blamed me for speaking rudely."

"Do you know that honest advice is unpleasant to the ear?"

"How dare a junior to show disrespect to an elder?"

"Do you think they have no conscience?"

……

"Yes."

The mother-in-law nodded, "You are also reminding me with good intentions."

……

"Isn't it?"

The woman seemed to have found a soulmate, "Reading is good."

“But you also need to be able to read the results.”

"I haven't got any grades yet and I'm a useless person. What's the point?"

....
"Yes."

The mother-in-law agreed, "That's right."

……

One day, the woodcutter returned home and saw the woman standing in the yard with a depressed look on her face.

I feel a little confused and a little worried.

"what happened?"

"Who made the lady angry?"

"I'll teach him a lesson."

……

"Master."

When the woman saw the woodcutter, her eyes lit up slightly.

Then his face darkened, "It must be my aunt who spread it everywhere..."

……

"what?"

The woodcutter didn't understand what the woman meant.

"What's wrong, aunt?"

Didn’t my aunt leave?
It's been several days since I left.

Why are you mentioning her again?
……

"you do not know……"

Women and children come out.

She clenched her fingers, "I'm going to the village market today..."
