Chapter 22

It's already past dinner time. Usually, Mrs. Zhang will walk around the yard at this time, go to the daughter-in-law and son of each room to give lectures, and enjoy "female emperor-like" treatment.After the tour is complete, he will go home, wash his face, wash his feet and go to bed.Sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I will take two puffs of cigarettes from my wife, puff on clouds, and then go to bed.

"Shh! The old witch has come out." Tang Wanwan gestured to her brother to silence him.

Tang Xiaojian thought that elder sister called grandma like that, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Fortunately, Tang Wanwan covered her mouth in time, so she was not discovered by Mrs. Zhang.

He only heard the door open with a creak, and a hunched old woman walked out of the room, wearing pointed-toed cloth shoes, trousers tucked into socks, and she walked with some sullenness.

Like a general patrolling her own battlefield, she looked here to see where she was, and then took a small step and went to the eldest daughter-in-law's house.

Just as she was walking, she suddenly saw something dropped on the ground, her eyes lit up, and she even bent over to pick it up.However, as soon as she picked up one, she found that there was another beside the ditch where water was poured on weekdays, and she immediately walked over excitedly.While picking it up, his mouth grinned happily to the door of his ear.He muttered to himself: "I said, hearing magpies calling early in the morning is definitely a good thing. Most of the money that fell on the ground was lost by the guests from the Xu family today. Since there are one, two , Maybe, if you look through this yard, you can find more silver.

"Old man, come out quickly."

"What's the matter, I fell asleep."

"Hurry up!" The old lady didn't dare to speak too loudly, in case the two daughters-in-law next door heard it and knew about it.If they also come to pick up money, then such a good thing will be gone.

But the old man said it all, he dared not not listen to what the old woman said.Otherwise, don't think about cleaning your ears this night.This is not to mention, if she encounters her unsatisfactory situation, she can talk about Chen Zhi's rotten millet over and over again for three days and three nights.

"What's the matter, this is a surprise." Tang Laotian wrote ink in the room for a while, and then came out.

"I found Qianla." Madam Zhang smiled and spread out the two cents of money in her palm to her wife.

"Where did it come from?" Old Tang's eyes also lit up. This is real money, and it shines brightly in the light.

"I picked it up in our yard, maybe someone lost the purse today. I found two, maybe there are more. So, you and I look for it together, you look from this side, I from there Find."

Old man Tang rubbed his eyes with his hands, couldn't help yawning, and said, "It's not a big deal, why didn't we see it during the day."

"Why don't you say I'm lucky? I took the lamp and saw there was light on the ground. When I pulled it, it was money, and I picked up two at once."

"After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she touched her still-bewildered wife with her arm and said, "Hurry up, let's find them separately. "Old man Tang could only nod his head, put the outer jacket on his body, and cheer up. The two of them split their heads, looked down at the ground, and searched hard.

"It should be almost time, just wait and watch the show." Tang Wanwan could hear it clearly outside, she knew that Mrs. Zhang would not just give up when she saw money falling on the ground.Sure enough, she called her wife out, and the two of them worked hard to find money together.This gave her plenty of time.

It turned out that when Mrs. Zhang came out, Tang Wanwan quietly opened a hole in her clothes, fearing that it would not be effective, she let out seven or eight bees at once, and then wrapped the hive again with clothes.Then he and Tang Xiaoyi turned over and went down the courtyard wall, and found a hidden place to hide from afar, waiting for news.

The bees really followed the smell, and they flew around at first, but after a while, they all arrived in Mrs. Zhang's yard in a neat and uniform manner.Plus Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Tang both had lamps in their hands, where would they go if they didn't go there.

Madam Zhang lowered her head and looked at the ground attentively when she suddenly heard a strange sound in her ear. She raised her head and saw a black winged thing hitting her face and the lamp.

"what."

Madam Zhang thought it was some kind of flying insect, but she didn't care after hitting it twice with her hands.After a while, there was some itching on her neck. If she wanted to scream on weekdays, she didn't dare to scream today.Seeing her gasping for breath, old man Tang kept waving his hands in front of her, hurriedly ran over, and asked her how she was doing.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice and said, "Don't come here, it's important to find money."

The old man Tang said helplessly: "What can you find this night? I came to see when I saw that you were bitten by something."

"I'm fine, just a few little bugs, it's fine."

"I see that you are just looking for money."

I never thought that Old Man Tang could finish his sentence. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream from Madam Zhang, and then he covered her face.The oil lamp also fell to the ground at once.If it wasn't for Old Man Tang, the oil lamp might have been on fire.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhang had just finished speaking, but she was stabbed by something on her forehead. This part was very sensitive and her skin was thin. No one could stand the stab so coldly.

"No, it's the bee, where did the bee come from in the middle of the night." However, it was pitch-black everywhere in front of him. The bee flew here and there for a while, and he had to be careful not to be stung by him. Can't catch it at all.

Only heard a ghostly cry from Mrs. Zhang's mouth.

"Help, Jianmin, Jianyong, the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, they are about to die."

Here, Mrs. Wang and her daughter, Tang Ruyi, are picking clothes in the room. What they never expected was that Tang Ruyi's blind date was very successful today, but they were very happy for the girls, knowing that the old lady would come to lecture every night. , If you can't go to bed so early, you can wait until things are over before going to bed, and their mother and daughter are just as usual.

Tang Ruyi is very angry, and now she has met a good family. Seeing that the clothes at home are dusty and ugly, she clamors to buy new clothes and bracelets.When Tang Ruyue saw that her sister wanted to buy new clothes and jewelry, she muttered in a dissatisfied voice, "Mom, you promised me that you would give me a new dress for my 13 years old birthday this year. The family is not well-off, but the second sister also wants to buy this and that."

Tang Ruyue's worry was not without reason. Seeing that it was only a few days away, the family's money was already tight, and the second sister would buy clothes and bracelets again, so how could she have her share.

Tang Ruyi immediately grabbed her sister's hand and said in a good voice, "Little sister, you will let the second sister this time. You have a birthday every year, so this time is not bad, right? The second sister promised you, When you have your birthday next year, how about I'll give you a set of clothes?"

"Xu Gongzi is not an ordinary family. If the second sister dresses decently, others will think highly of us, right? If I marry, I will definitely give you a good marriage."

Tang Ruyue cocked her mouth suddenly. "Mother, look at my second sister, she always looks like this, but she never counts what she says."

"Hey, you're still having fun, aren't you. Do you think I've gotten a good temper recently and I don't dare to hit you. I tell you, don't think about always learning from that little bitch Tang Wanwan against me. , I don't have your fruit to eat."

Tang Ruyi's temper came up, so she slapped her sister, and Tang Ruyue burst into tears.

"Oh, you two ancestors, stop arguing. I have a headache from the noise. I promise you, I will buy it for you."

With Wang's words, the two daughters stopped arguing, and everyone thought about their own thoughts.Tang Ruyue ran outside angrily, and Tang Ruyi was also in a bad mood.

However, Wang felt that one head and two were big, this one needed to be clothes, the other a new bracelet. After doing all the calculations, he always felt that the money that could be used at home was really too little, and they added up to less than two taels. The college still has to manage, and the two girls at home are also making trouble, how can she live.If only I could get some silver flowers somewhere.

Wang Shi was thinking about how to make some money, and he didn't want his son Tang Cheng to run in. "Mother, it's not good, my grandma is making trouble again, saying that she is going to die, and I ask you to help."

"Hmph, what is this old woman doing, and one day she will destroy this family."

Xiao Wang was bringing her daughter Tang Dani the meat she secretly steamed, and asked her to eat it quickly.The meat was steamed together in the radish. Although it was only a tiny bit at the bottom of the bowl, it was very fragrant.The meat and bones were brought by her brother when he came today.The eldest brother opened a butcher's shop. He hid some meat in his sleeves without the knowledge of his mother-in-law. He brought it to his sister, and also brought two big bones.

Xiao Wang was afraid that the meat would be discovered by her mother-in-law and hid it, so she cut a little bit and steamed it for her daughter to eat, but the bone soup was boiled together by the whole family, and she brought some back before she finished drinking it.

Hearing Madam Zhang's wailing, Xiao Wang's hands shook in fright, and the broth poured over Tang Dani.Tang Dani even cried, saying that her mother did not want to give her meat.

Tang Jianyong also told his wife that she couldn't even feed a meal.

Xiao Wang was full of anger. As soon as she got to her mother-in-law's yard, she saw a mess. She didn't know what everyone was fighting, so she was confused and joined their battle group.

In the end, in addition to Mrs. Zhang's being bitten, Mrs. Wang's arm was also bitten. Mrs. Wang was stepped on by the elder brother, saying that her foot was lame and asked the elder brother to pay for the medical expenses.

Wang Shi immediately broke up with his sister-in-law.

Tang Wanwan had no expression on her face after reading it, and took her brother's hand to prepare to go back.When she decided to do this, she could have expected such an outcome. She didn't want to show the ugliness of human nature, the selfishness and greed of human beings when it really happened.
