take a wife to support the family

Chapter 158

Mrs. Zhu is confused, but Wang Xiaofu is not a fool.

He knew who to listen to when something happened. He agreed and walked out. After walking a few steps, he whispered to Lamei: "I'll be back tomorrow, don't worry."

Lamei glared at him: "Who is worried about you!"

If she said such a thing in front of her parents, where would she put her face?
Mrs. Zhu couldn't call Wang Xiaofu, and couldn't control Lily, so she cried angrily: "You don't pay attention to me before your father is gone. If your father does go, are you going to spoil me into the world?" In the mud!"

"My father won't be able to go for a while," Lily said coldly, "Don't think you are doing it for Qingsong, who is not clear about your idea?"

Zhu's suffering can't be explained, she prefers Qingsong, so naturally she thinks of Qingsong in everything, and refuses to let him suffer a little bit.But now, Li bamboo craftsman is seriously injured, Qingsong is still a half-grown child, and the affairs of the family depend on the married eldest daughter.

She really didn't dare to offend Lily, lest she lose her face and walk away.

You can't beat and scold the big girl as usual, Zhu Shi is so aggrieved that she wants to say something to Lamei to vent her anger, but Lamei replied: "I only recognize my father, but I don't recognize you as old, you are old Don't make a mistake!"

Without getting angry, Zhu Shi soon became listless and weak.

In the afternoon, people came to visit the craftsman Li one after another, most of whom were friends with Lily on weekdays. Li Caifeng, Mrs. Dagui and Mrs. Wang all made soup and rice.

Liu Yi came to help change dressings and turn over, and deal with defecation.

Mrs. Zhu said to Lily: "I don't see how popular you are. I think it's because of how much money you have now, and they want to please you. Don't make a mistake and tell them to coax you away. You have money and good things. , might as well leave it to your brother."

"The reason why people treat me well is because your son-in-law and I treat them sincerely. They are all like you. They refuse to give anyone even a bowl of water. How can they deal with them?" Lily no longer expected to be able to To change Zhu's opinion, at her age, it's all about not causing trouble in the future.

Since Mrs. Zhu didn't believe in Lily, she still babbled on some stupid things, but Carpenter Li couldn't bear to listen, and said weakly: "Old woman, don't say a few words. Just say that this time I am like this, not our big girl. My subordinates, who do you think is willing to help me with all my heart? Can Liu Yi serve me with shit and pee?"

Some biological sons are still unwilling to serve their own father like this, not to mention that Liu Yi is not related to him for no reason, not for the sake of Song Haonian and Baihe, how can this be so?
Unconvinced, Lamei put the bowl of bean curd on the table with a "boom" and said, "You should eat something to fill your stomach first, don't stop eating!"

Usually she doesn't understand anything, she just thinks that mother is a powerful person, but now after seeing her a lot, she realizes how confused she is, if she is asked to continue talking, maybe people will be far away from her home.

The person her elder brother-in-law worked so hard to deal with, the caller said to leave with a few words, how wronged!

Mrs. Zhu still wanted to talk, but felt that the bean curd was fragrant and sweet, so she couldn't bear to let go, holding a spoon and eating very deliciously, and couldn't care less about making trouble for her daughter.

Lily saw that Lamei was flushed with anger, so she could only say: "What are you fussing about with her? She is also a poor person. She has never even visited the town market a few times in her life. Do you expect her to come up with some good ideas?" ?”

Zhu's experience limited her eyes to the one-acre land in Liushan Village, and she couldn't understand the part beyond Qingliu Town. Getting angry with her had no other effect except to anger herself for nothing.

Lamei said: "When I think that we were born like this, I feel ashamed!"

But what can be done, who can choose their parents?
Her mother was like this, Song Haonian's parents were just as bad, and Song Xiuxiu's in-law's family was not much better. After thinking about it, every family has a whole bunch of bad things, and no one will live in peace.

Carpenter Li has to stay in the hospital for a while. It is not a problem for Lily to see that everyone is chained here, so she tries to get a straw mat to spread on the ground, and then spread a bedding on it. And some.

She broke free from her fear and panic, because she said: "When Qingsong comes back tomorrow, father can only stay here with two people every day. Mother looks after father during the day and sleeps at my house at night. I, Lamei, and Qingsong will take care of father at night. They come in rotation, and when it’s not their turn, they go home and cook—I can’t see the sky and eat the food brought by others.”

Mrs. Zhu shook her head: "I won't go to your house! I just look at the old man and don't go anywhere."

Lily couldn't laugh or cry: "You are still old, how can you stand the consumption of day and night? I am filial piety, if you don't appreciate love sick here, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

After being hypocritical for a while, Mrs. Zhu finally agreed, and muttered, "It's not that I'm going to stay at my daughter's house in a shameless manner, it's because you begged me."

"All right, all right, even if I beg you."

That night, Baihe asked Zhu Shi to go back to her house to sleep, and she and Lamei stayed to take care of her father.

Looking at Lily's neat and tidy house, Mrs. Zhu started to think: "I heard people say that the big girl is living a good life now, but I didn't expect her life to be so good. This damn girl is hiding secrets from her old lady, so she won't come here for a while." I still don’t know! These good things, give me Qingsong later, and Qingsong will be able to marry a good wife!”

Lily didn't know that her mother was still thinking about her family property, so she and Lamei decocted medicine and fed water, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment to take care of Carpenter Li, for fear that his injury would worsen.

The next day, Qingsong came back from the county with red eyes, and burst into tears as soon as he entered the house. The whole family would inevitably cry again, but it was Wang Xiaofu who persuaded him: "Uncle is fine, as long as he takes good care of him in the future." , There will always be times when you get better. You are the only man in the family, if you don’t stand up, are you still asking your sisters to stand up for the family?”

Only then did Qingsong stop crying, first thanked Lang Zhong and others, and then thanked his sister for their hard work.Actually Carpenter Li's injury has basically stabilized by this time, and Lily has also settled down, no longer as dazed as before, seeing that Qingsong seemed to be terrified, she asked: "What did your shopkeeper say?"

Qingsong said: "When the shopkeeper heard that my father was seriously injured, he hurriedly called me back, and even hired a car for me, and paid an extra month's money. I'll just go back to work when my father is well."

When he said this, Mrs. Zhu first praised: "Amitabha, your shopkeeper is so merciful." Her son found a job with great difficulty, and he couldn't just throw it away like this.

Qingsong pulled Lily and whispered to someone: "Sister, let the female family members know about the injury of father. Sister Xueniang and Sister Yueniang both gave me money and asked me to take it to treat our father's injury first. The shopkeeper and the owner know about it." .”

Lily heard Song Haonian talk about the women's family, and knew that Xueniang was Chen Bin's concubine, and Yueniang was the daughter of shopkeeper Liu, so she said, "Since that's the case, you can keep the money and don't give it to me. It will cost you money to treat the wound." You write down how much, and you have to know how to pay people back in the future.”

"I know! The accountant taught us how to do arithmetic, and I'm the best in the store!" Qingsong was a little proud. He already had a foundation in reading and writing, and he learned to do calculations faster than others. Shopkeeper Liu praised him several times, saying He will do well in the future, and he might be able to work as an accountant.

Lily smiled and said: "Then you should study hard so that you can be an accountant in the future! Even these days, don't fall behind, just take some time to practice, you know?"

He said he was taking care of patients, but in fact he had a lot of free time. Qingsong could write in the ashes with a reed stick when Carpenter Li didn't need him, and consolidate his arithmetic by calculating medical expenses.

He was originally worried that he would fall behind when he returned home, but Carpenter Li is his father, he is a loving child, and he would go home to take care of his father without any hesitation. Now that he has a way not to fall behind others, he is naturally very happy.

Baihe suddenly thought of something: "Why do you call all the female family members sisters, so you can see them every day?"

Ordinarily, the silk and satin shop and Chen Bin's house are not in the same place, so how can these little fellows see their female relatives?

Qingsong smiled and said: "You don't know, shopkeeper Liu is a good person, he often takes us to his house for dinner. Both Xueniang and Yueniang are older than me, so we call them sister indiscriminately."

Let alone Yueniang, Xueniang is Chen Bin's concubine, she doesn't want to be so lively, Chen Bin doesn't shy away from seeing her with the boys.

Lily let it go as soon as she thought about it, her father was still hurt, she didn't care about other people's backyard, she just said: "When entering and leaving people's backyard, you must observe the etiquette, and you must not mess around, even if the person with you has You are not allowed to come here if you are tempted, just tell the shopkeeper and the boss."

Qingsong these days in the city is not only learning to write and settle accounts, but also learned a lot of high eyebrows and low eyes. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, he is better than Lily. He knows what his elder sister is talking about, so he nodded: "I understand."

Mrs. Zhu came out and said, "You two have something to say, why don't you come in soon?"

Her darling son has been in the city for several months, and one day off every ten days is not enough to walk back and forth on the road, so Qingsong didn't come home these days, only Song Haonian and Baihe sometimes went to see him.

Mrs. Zhu can't wait to hug Qingsong in her arms and rub it well. Qingsong is taller and has a much more mature expression. She nestled in Mrs. Zhu's arms for a while, and before she can rub her whole body, she chanted heartily. After a while, Qingsong stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go and ask Dad what he wants to eat."

"This little heartless one!" Zhu's kindness had nowhere to vent, so he ran to Lamei and said, "I think your brother is filial, not like those heartless sons and daughters."

Lamei had a heart disease, and after hearing what Zhu said, she stabbed herself only when she thought she was her, and said with a lowered face, "Yes, only your son has filial piety, even if your daughter puts her heart in front of you, you only think they are plotting against you!"

Mrs. Zhu was dumbfounded, unable to figure out why Lamei lost her temper suddenly for a long time, and went back to complain to Qingsong: "Sanniu is getting more and more outrageous, and she won't be happy if I praise you."

After listening to Zhu's story, Qingsong really couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother, my elder sisters are no worse than me in filial piety, if you only praise me and don't praise them, who can bear it?"

Mrs. Zhu curled her lips: "I don't want to praise them! I think my son is the most filial!"
