Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 25 Mother Gu angrily criticizes Jia Zhang
Mother Gu knocked on the door, and the door creaked open. Widow Qin's eyes were red, "Aunt Wang, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Gu Ma walked into the house and saw that the first uncle and the first aunt were also there. Banggeng was being held in the arms of Jia Zhang. Xiaodang was hiding in the corner holding Sophora japonica and asked Qin Huairu with concern: "The first uncle and aunt are also here." Yes. Xiao Qin, what's going on? What happened at home? If you have any difficulties, tell us and let's work together to find a solution!"

Before Qin Huairu could answer, Jia Zhang said angrily: "Oh, my wings are hard now, no wonder you dare to quarrel with me!"

Hearing this, Gu Ma's expression changed, and Qin Huairu's tears fell again.

Gu Ma asked sharply: "What's going on?"

At this time, Qin Huairu shed tears while telling the story.

It turned out that Qin Huairu was cooking this morning and found an extra small bag of peanuts at home, and asked Jia Zhang where they came from?Mrs. Jia Zhang lazily said that Banggeng brought it back yesterday.Qin Huairu then asked Banggeng, and Banggeng said nonchalantly that he got it from under the bed of Shazhu's house.

Qin Huairu taught Bangge not to take anything from Uncle He's house in the future, and also not to call Uncle He: "Silly Zhu, this is rude."Then he has to send the peanuts back to Shazhu, and apologize to Shazhu with a stick.

This time it's broken, it's a hornet's nest!Bangge cried and rolled back and forth on the ground and said, "Silly Zhu asked me to go to the house to get things at will. Why should I send the peanuts back? I want to eat them, and I will also give them to my sister."

Mrs. Jia Zhang began to curse: "What's wrong with getting some peanuts? What's wrong with calling him Silly Zhu? His father calls him Silly Zhu, and we Banggeng call him that, what's wrong?" "We Banggeng are good children, and we still care about our sister. ?”

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly: "Mom, Silly Zhu is not at home. It is wrong for Banggeng to secretly go to someone's house to get things! Besides, no matter how others call Silly Zhu, we can't control it, but Banggen is a junior, how can we do that? Calling Zhu Zhu’s nickname? Besides, we didn’t miss out on Sha Zhu’s lunch box!”

Jia Zhang continued to yell and scold: "What do you mean stealing? That's because Sha Zhu wanted to do it himself! Why is Sha Zhu willing to give our lunch box? Don't tell me, you don't know Sha Zhu's little thoughts!"

Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly turned red: "Mom, what are you talking about in front of the child? What are you thinking about?" "Ren Si Zhu also listens to the great master and is kind-hearted to help our family!"

"Come on, Bangge, stop making trouble and listen to mom. If you want to eat it later, mom will buy it for you!"

"No, no, I just want to eat it today!" Bangge rolled on the ground even harder.

Qin Huairu was so angry that he picked up the broom and wanted to scare Banggeng. Okay? Jia and Zhang jumped up like a tigress, hugged Banggeng in her arms and cursed Qin Huairu: "This has turned the world upside down! You still think about it?" Beat my grandson! What's wrong with you yet? Are you feeling distressed if you get some stupid peanuts from Banggeng?"

"The idiot in the backyard gave our family a chicken, and you went out of your way to send money there!"

"Don't think that I don't know your thoughts, flirting with this one or acting coquettishly with that one. I tell you, there is no way!"

Jia Zhang said without hesitation: "I tell you, Dongxu is gone, but I am still here! Bangge's surname is Jia!"

Qin Huairu burst into tears, "Mom, what are you talking about? Banggeng, are you stealing something?" "Besides, the soldier in the backyard is still a young man! And the old Gu family usually takes good care of us. This roof was built with the help of soldiers!"

"Sinzhu is willing to do it himself. How can he call it stealing when he takes it back?"

"Isn't a half-grown man a man?"

"I don't understand men yet? It's all about the lower body that makes the final decision!"

"Besides, for the sake of Banggeng, don't give up those two ounces of meat on your body!" Qin Huairu almost collapsed and cried even more sadly: "Mom, how could you say that in front of your child?"

"Shouldn't children be responsible for stealing things?"

At this time, the first uncle and the first aunt discovered that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were quarreling, and hurried over to try to persuade them.

The first uncle said, "Huai Ru, what's going on? What can't the family say? Why is your mother-in-law so angry?"

A mother-in-law sings: "Huai Ru, yes, your mother-in-law is not in good health, why are you arguing?"

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly to the eldest uncle and eldest mother: "Master, aunt, I didn't offend my mother-in-law because Banggeng secretly went to Shazhu's house to get peanuts. I want to send them back and bring Banggeng to Shazhu to apologize. My mother-in-law doesn’t want to and is angry with me!”

The uncle was delighted when he heard this: "What do I think it's about? Silly Zhu likes this kid Bangge, what does it mean to come to the house to get something? They are all family members!"

"Shazhu knows, I can only be happy!"

"Are you going to make your mother-in-law angry just because of this?"

"Hey, there are no elders who are not good, only children who are not considerate!"

"Hurry up and apologize to your mother-in-law!"

It was even more remarkable that Jia Zhang had someone to back her up. She became arrogant: "Qin Huairu, let me tell you, it is your turn to make the decision in this family! If you start attacking me again, I will drive you back to the countryside next time!"

The first uncle and the first aunt in turn advised Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law, don't say angry words!"

"Huai Ru is so filial to you! He is busy all day long!"

Qin Huairu could only cry silently.

Just then, Gu Ma knocked on the door and came in.

After listening to the whole process, Gu Ma turned to the old man and said, "What's the matter? Isn't it wrong to steal people's things now?" "Stealing needles when you are young will steal gold when you are old. You don't even know this?" "Why, it's still the same. He said that Banggeng has grown up and grown crookedly! One day, it really goes in. It has nothing to do with you, right?" The old man's face turned blue!

Mrs. Jia Zhang was furious: "Your child has grown crooked, so he went in!"

Gu's mother said "poof", "What a joke, my son is now a security officer!" "Specialized in catching petty thieves!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately let go of the stick, jumped up and pointed at Gu Ma: "Who are you talking about stealing?"

Gu Ma's eyes widened and she scolded Jia Zhang: "What's the matter? Is Silly Zhu your son or your son-in-law?" "Take someone's things when you say you're going to take them?" "Why are you so shameless?" "You're talking about you. Have you been wronged for petty theft?”

The elder's face turned greener and greener, "Old Gu family, unless you talk like this, is it nothing for neighbors to take something from each other?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly responded: "That's because the relationship between our two families is good! You can't envy me!"

Gu's mother said sarcastically: "Hey, we have such a good relationship! Let's just live together together!" "Should I call you mom or mother-in-law?" "Why do you need to take other people's things secretly?"

"What is stealing? Taking something without telling you is stealing!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang opened her teeth and claws as if she was about to pounce on her, and shouted: "You are just envious! Jealous! Your family is the thief! Your family is not popular in the courtyard. Who in the courtyard has not spread rumors about your family?" !”

When the elder heard this, his face turned even greener, and he and the elder mother quickly stood between the two of them.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Gu Ma took two steps sideways, grabbed the rolling pin next to the stove, and raised it, "What's the matter? You can't make sense, but you still want to fight with me? You try?" "Those who spread gossip are all envious of us. Our family is living a good life!" "The more gossips are spread, the better our family's life is!"

"Just like you, I can only envy you!"

Gu Ma's little mouth was like a machine gun: "As the old saying goes! A small tree will not grow straight if it is not repaired, and it will grow wild if people do not take care of it!"

"This child has made a mistake. Is it wrong for a mother to educate her own child?" "You don't protect your children in this way? Which path are you trying to lead your children to?"

Gu's mother became more interested and even yelled at the uncle: "Also, his uncle, are you so willing to break up the fight?"

"What? If it's not my daughter, no one will love her, right?"

"How can you make your mother-in-law angry just by opening your mouth?" "What kind of feudal family?" "What's going on? Are you going to reverse history?"

"Oh, I still feel that my parents and brothers are far away and there is no one to support me, right?"

"I've never seen such a "various" (Northeastern dialect, out of place) mother-in-law like you!"

"I lie at home all day long, taking a worn-out shoe sole and paying for it every day. Why don't you take it out and sell it for money?"

"Every day you have food to open your mouth and clothes to stretch your hands. Are you a landlord and a wealthy person?"

"Let me tell you, Mrs. Jia Zhang, do you think any family in their 50s is like you, eating too much and not doing any housework? In the countryside, people in their 70s are still working in the fields! How dare they be at home? You are dominating! Believe it or not, I will go to the government and sue the Women’s Federation to ask you to reform!”

"We working people have stood up since the day our country was founded!"

Seeing that Mrs. Gu couldn't defeat her, and fearing that she couldn't beat her with a rolling pin, Mrs. Jia Zhang sat down on the ground and started howling: "Oh, my life is miserable! Someone comes to our house to bully orphans and widowed mothers!" It's inhumane! God, please open your eyes!" "Take away this vicious and fierce woman in front of you!"

The elder's face was extremely dark, but he did not dare to say anything else. He patiently advised Jia Zhang in a monotonous tone: "Sister-in-law, stop making trouble."

The eldest mother also looked bad and advised Gu's mother, "Junzi's mother, you should also take a rest. Calm down and stop arguing."

Qin Huairu also came over, holding Gu Ma's arm, crying and urging her, "Auntie, stop arguing, it's all my fault!"

Gu Ma glanced sideways at Jia Zhang, what kind of fighting power?Where is this?I have only used one-tenth of my power!

Gu Ma curled her lips, patted Qin Huairu with the back of her hand holding the rolling pin, and said disdainfully to the first master and Jia Zhang: "You also said that I bullied orphans and widows!"

"Back then, our old man Gu joined the army in 46, and for several years he didn't hear a single word from me. I was no different from being a widow! I was at home, honoring my parents-in-law at first, raising my son at the next, and I didn't do anything behind!"

"Widow! What happened to the widow? Chairman Mao said: Women can make half the sky!"

Pulling Qin Huairu in front of her, Gu's mother solemnly said to Qin Huairu: "Xiao Qin, you have a soft temper. We women have to stand up when it's time to stand up. Don't be afraid, you will have your Aunt Wang in the future!"

At this time, Shazhu walked in sleepily, "What's wrong with this? I heard you guys making noise when I was sleeping in the room?" "Sister Qin, are you okay?"

Gu Ma looked at Silly Zhu with disdain and sneered: "Silly Zhu, does anyone want to live in the same family with you?"

Silly Zhu blurted out without thinking: "But where is my dad in Baoding?"
