Jinyi Music

Chapter 37
Answered to you,

"This is our meat..."

As they talked, the two brothers stretched out their chopsticks to mess with the bowl. Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Jiayou reached out and picked up the bowl containing the chicken, and poured all the soup and water into his own bowl.
"You lied to us!"

The two brothers realized that they had been fooled when they saw this. Hearing this, they stood up and rushed towards him. Jiayou was clever, and as early as when the chicken was poured into the bowl, he slipped off the table with the bowl in his arms and ran away, and the two brothers followed suit. After passing by, Jia Youchuan ran while eating, and when the two chased him, he had already eaten all the chicken and rice in the bowl, turned around and stuffed the empty bowl in Xiang Gui's hand, and turned his head And shouted to Xiang Mu in the house,

"Grandma, don't be lazy when cooking. When washing rice, pick out the sand in it!"

Xiang Fu and Xiang Gui were furious when they heard the words,
"Jia Laoqi, you beggar, how dare you think the food is bad!"

Jia Youzhuan is not the one who is willing to suffer. He has never lost a quarrel on the street, so he retorted,
"Who is begging for food? I don't know who came to our house several times a month...you are the beggars...the beggars!"

He yelled the word "beggar" very loudly, and everyone's faces froze when they heard it, and Xiang's family members looked unhappy. Only Jia Jincheng's mouth curled up slightly, and secretly told his son that he had done a good job.

The Xiang brothers became furious and grabbed Jia Youchuan who was about to run away. Jia Youchuan was not afraid of them. He bowed and turned around in a circle, but turned behind Xiang Fu who was holding him. When Xiang Gui rushed over, he collided with his brother, and Jia You sent back a punch to Xiang Fu's lower back.
"oops!"

A blow to Xiang Fu's waist and eye made him cry out in pain. As soon as he let go of his hand, Jia Youchuan broke free and started running around the yard. The Xiang brothers chased after him, screaming. The kid was running fast, and the adults wanted to intervene, but they didn't know how to stop him for a while. Seeing Jia Youchuan running, he suddenly stretched out his foot to Xiang Rong, the second child's family, and hooked him. Lao Qi was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a thud.

The pair of brothers were overjoyed when they saw this, they rushed forward to press him and beat him up. Erlian and the others saw their brother being beaten, so naturally they couldn't stand idly by, and rushed forward to pull them away. Seeing his son being beaten, Jia Jincheng's face darkened After getting down, he stood up and saluted Xiang's second son, and then saluted the two brothers-in-law again,
"Today's meal is almost finished, let's go back first!"

The Jia family left just like that, hired a carriage at the entrance of the alley, and the family staggered back to Yanghua Husi, Xiang Shi looked at the scratches on his son's face with some distress,
"You said you, it's not that there is no meat at home, why are you arguing with them?"

Jiayou Chuanyu was very angry and shouted,

"The meat and chickens on the table belong to our family, they all belong to our family... They are just a bunch of beggars. They eat our food and dare to bully me!"

In Jia You's narrow eyes, what Xiang's family eats is from their Jia family, and Jia's food is from his Jia You, so why should Xiang Fu and Xiang Gui take advantage of his food!

Jia Youchuan turned to Jia Jincheng and said,

"Father! Next time if anyone from Xiang's family dares to enter the door, they will be driven out with sticks!"

Jia Jincheng nodded, glanced at the embarrassed Xiang Shi, and smiled coldly,
"This is your mother's family, eating our food and beating my son!"

Xiang Shi was angry and annoyed, and felt sorry for her son, but she didn't attack her husband, so she just stared at Erlian and cursed,

"You guys are all dead! Seeing your brothers being beaten, you don't know how to go up and help!"

Erlian and the others have long been used to her messing around, so they didn't speak, only Silian responded,
"Mother...why didn't we help, if we didn't help Lao Qi, Lao Qi would still be beaten by Xiang Fu and the others!"

Xiang Shi was just letting out his anger, but was choked back by Si Lian, and his heart became even more angry. Hearing this, he glared at her viciously, but Si Lian was not at all afraid.
"Mother, don't stare at me, you have that ability, why don't you talk about Xiang Fu and Xiang Gui, what Lao Qi said is right, he eats our Jia family's food and bullies our Jia family's people, do you want to come to our house in the future? Is it autumn wind?"

Xiang's toad eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and she didn't dare to beat her daughter because of her natal family because of Jia Jincheng's face to face, she secretly said cruelly,

"What mother said is also reasonable, this girl should get married as soon as possible..."

Especially these four girls, every day they do not do right,

"Hmph! Just go crazy! My old lady will find you a powerful husband, so that you will be beaten by men!"

By the time the Jia family returned to Yanghua Hu, it was already the end of the hour. Erlian got out of the car first, and saw a person squatting in front of the closed gate of the Jia family. He wore a green cloth jacket and a pair of thick cotton shoes, which were covered with mud.

"Er Lian!"

When the man saw Erlian, he hurriedly got up and came over. Silian and the others got out of the car one after another. Seeing the man, he was taken aback for a moment, and then resentment appeared on his face.
"Humph!"

Si Lian snorted coldly, turned her face away and ignored him, after Jia Jincheng and Xiang Shi came down, the man stepped forward to salute,
"Father-in-law! Mother-in-law!"

Jia Jincheng grudgingly grumbled, looked up and down at his second son-in-law, and seeing that he came empty-handed, his face was not good-looking, so he sarcastically said,
"Yo...Second Young Master, where did you come from? How come your feet are covered in mud, tsk tsk tsk...you still have mud on your body, why didn't you fall and throw away this New Year's greeting!"

Guan Zhu, the second son-in-law of the Jia family, was embarrassed when asked by his mother-in-law. According to the rules, the second day of the new year is the day when he returns to his natal family. It was really unreasonable to come here empty-handed, but he beat Erlian in front of her, and Erlian went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger, throwing all the old elders and two screaming babies to him.

There are two elders in his family. One of his legs has not recovered from an early fall and has been bedridden all year round. The other suffers from asthma and wheezes like a bellows after walking two steps. The two children are one and a half years old, one is only six months old, and Erlian As soon as he left, he had to take care of his father and mother, and feed the two crying children. He took care of this and ignored the other, which only made him burnt out, so sad!

During this new year's festival, relatives in the family walk around, and every family has a New Year's Eve dinner. They only have a cold pot and a cold stove in their house, and they only have time to cook a pot of porridge. This morning, he didn't even eat two bites of porridge, so he was kicked out by the elders of the family come out,
"If you don't bring your daughter-in-law back, don't come back!"

Seeing this situation, the two elders of the Guan family thought that if the daughter-in-law did not come back, the life of the family would be difficult, so they made up their minds to drive their son into the city, but none of the three of them remembered the New Year's ceremony, and Guan Zhu was empty-handed. When he arrived at Jia's house, all the Jia family had gone out, and he didn't know when the Jia family would come back, so he didn't dare to leave, so he could only squat in front of the door and wait.

Seeing people coming and going in the alley, Jia Jincheng didn't want to show his family's ugliness, so he said sullenly,

"Go ahead and talk about it!"

Immediately when everyone went in, Si Lian took a brazier and lit charcoal. The whole family warmed up around the brazier to dissipate the chill. Jia You passed on Jia Jincheng Road,
"Dad, I'm hungry!"

At Xiang's house, he didn't have enough to eat at all, and he bumped all the way back here, and the little food in his stomach was gone again!
Jia Jincheng thought for a while and told Si Lian,
"Bring a few sweet potatoes from the cellar, let's roast them and eat them!"

Sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, are foreign sweet potatoes. They were brought to the Daqing Dynasty by overseas businessmen in the early years. Because of their drought tolerance and high yield, the imperial court vigorously promoted them in the past few years and issued notices calling on the people to plant them. The people had never seen this new thing, and it was not planted properly at the beginning, and the taste of the sweet potatoes produced was not good, and the response from the people was mediocre, so His Majesty ordered the Huangzhuang to plant it first, and then distributed the seeds to the farmers near the capital, and taught the people The way they grow.

Even if His Majesty took the lead in planting, the civil and military officials in the court naturally followed suit. This year, many officials and eunuchs in the capital have planted this kind of sweet potato in their farms. The sweet potatoes from all the officials were distributed to the rest of the officials in Beijing. Those who had land planted them, and those who did not have land used them to eat.

Jia's family has no land. This year, [-] catties were handed out from the yamen. After Jia Jincheng came back, he let Si Lian put it in the cellar. In this weather, the whole family gathered around the brazier and ate roasted sweet potatoes with rough flesh. There is so much sweetness in it, it is a rare pleasure to eat it in your mouth!

Si Lian went to fetch a few according to her words. Twenty catties of sweet potatoes were neither too much nor too little, and one of them weighed half a catty. Jin Sweet Potato went to Xiao Ban, and Xiang rolled his eyes in distress, staring at his second daughter and second son-in-law,

"I just said that the girl's film is a loser, and today I made up my mind to come back for free!"

Jia Silian put the sweet potatoes on the edge of the brazier and let them be roasted slowly by the charcoal fire. Jia Jincheng looked at the second son-in-law sullenly,
"What are you doing here?"

Guan Zhu lowered his head guiltily, this farmer is usually honest and honest, he can't beat a fart with three sticks, and he works as hard as that old scalper when he does the work in the field, there is only one thing that is the most unbearable, that is to see Alcohol kills you!
As long as he sees wine, he will never give up until he gets drunk, and after drinking, he is like a different person. A cowardly and cowardly farmer on weekdays, after drinking wine, he becomes Manic and vicious, he is merciless when beating his wife. Erlian has been beaten since the second month of her marriage, and it has been nearly three years now.

Guan Zhu groaned for a long time,

"Father-in-law...I...I'll take Erlian home..."

"What are you doing when you go back? Will you call me when you go back?"

Si Lian couldn't help interjecting, Guan Zhu bowed his head and remained silent, just staring at his pair of rag shoes soaked in snow, the tops of the shoes were open, exposing his muddy toes, Jia Jincheng frowned, and said ,

"Er Lian has only been married to you for three years. How many times have you beaten her? If you beat her to death, do you still have money to marry another woman?"
