There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 242 Unaware
Looking at Zhong's current situation, it is difficult to raise Chunbao, right?

To raise a son, you need to build a house for him, provide him with education, and help him marry a wife in the future.

Maybe Mrs. Zhong didn't want to?

By default, Chunbao will go with his own father?
However, Chunbao's biological father has already married a wife, how can the stepmother treat her stepson well?

That stepmother was young, and even yelled at Chunbao...

Chen Laiqing was thinking about it, and before he knew it, he was on the way to Xiangshui Village.

Thinking, he hadn't been home to see his wife for several days, so Chen Laiqing bought two catties of brown sugar and some dried fruit snacks at the grocery store at the entrance of the village.

"Wrap it in two parts." Chen Laiqing told the shopkeeper, "Wrap the same amount in two parts."

"Come to celebrate, your family is not divided, why are you divided into two?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"It's better to pack them separately, they need to use them together," Chen Laiqing said.

One is for his wife and the other is for his sister-in-law.

If you only have one copy, it's not good for anyone.

The shopkeeper smiled, packed them separately, wrapped them in paper bags, and tied them with hemp rope.

Chen Laiqing gave the money and walked home with it.

In the grocery store, there were two other shoppers.

When Chen Laiqing walked away, a middle-aged woman who was shopping said, "Here is Laiqing, he is a person who knows how to do things. Look, he always buys two copies of everything when he buys things.

One for my mother and one for my sister-in-law.Although, his sister-in-law and mother are not separated, but after all, they are two people, right?

If I bought a copy and gave it to my mother, what would my sister-in-law think?She took care of her mother-in-law, and her uncle didn't say anything when he came home?

Only for the sister-in-law, the old lady will think again, the son was born in vain, and the door-to-door son-in-law will not recognize her mother.It will inevitably be cold.Buy two copies, each happy. "

"Yes, yes, there is no quarrel at home with this way of doing things." Another old woman also nodded.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "The brothers of the Chen family can handle things, and Chen Laiqing is also capable. It's a pity that he honestly became the son-in-law."

"Didn't he divorce the women of the Luo family? He has already left the Luo family to live alone." The old woman said.

"But, look at his age. He is already 40 years old. He doesn't have a house or a field. There is no woman willing to marry him. For a lifetime, that's it. Fortunately, he has many nephews, so no one will break the filial piety in the future." .” The shopkeeper said again.

Several people sighed and sighed, which was heard by Mrs. Xiang passing by.

She had just come out of Chen Laiqing's house and had been talking to Chen Laiqing's wife and sister-in-law for a long time.

The family is polite, although they are poor, but the outside of the house is clean and refreshing.

Mrs. Xiang had a very good impression of the Chen family.

Mrs. Xiang was angry with the Luo family, and she swore that she would be a matchmaker for Chen Laiqing, so that she would be mad at Mrs. Luo to death.

She was a little unhappy when she heard the conversation of a few people in the grocery store. She walked over and said loudly, "What are you talking about? Someone is clearly interested in Chen Laiqing, and the matchmakers have come to the door."

"Huh? Whose woman is it? Is it an old lady, a widow, or a divorced woman?" The grocery store is always a place where there is a lot of gossip. If the shopkeeper of the grocery store doesn't gossip, he can't get business.

"Why did I tell you? Hmph." Mrs. Xiang turned and walked away.

"Come on, a poor man is still an old man. Which woman would like him? It's common for a big girl to fall in love with a young man. Old women don't have a hot head. He's smart." The shopkeeper of the grocery store shook his head.

Aunt Xiang glanced back, snorted, and left.

These people, just wait and see, don't be shocked when the time comes.

……

Chen Laiqing returned home.

He went back to the house in the back room, and his elder brother and sister-in-law's family lived in the front room.

As soon as he entered the back door, he saw his sister-in-law and his mother were talking, as if they were talking about something important, with a serious look on their faces.

"Mother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" He smiled and put the two gifts on the table, "This is for sister-in-law, and this is for mother."

Every time he goes home, he buys the same two copies.

His sister-in-law said with a smile, "Buying one copy is enough, why bother to separate?"

"I want it, my sister-in-law is working hard at home to manage the housework, how can I lose my sister's share?" Chen Laiqing said with a smile.

"You, you, really." Mrs. Chen smiled.

Although Chen Laiqing was honest, he was very sensible in his work and speech, and the lady of the Chen family had no objection to her uncle.

"It's just in time for you to come back. I have something to discuss with you. Come and sit here." Old lady Chen smiled and waved to her youngest son.

"What's the matter, mother?" Chen Laiqing was thirsty after walking, so he poured himself a bowl of herbal tea and drank it.

After drinking, he moved a chair and sat opposite Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen.

"The thing is like this. Someone came to say goodbye just now, and your sister-in-law and I want to ask you what you mean." The old lady Chen said, "The matchmaker is Mrs. Xiang, a neighbor of Luo Cheng's family. I heard that she is in Jinshan Village. She is very popular, no one gossips about her, she is a reliable person, and she must be a good matchmaker."

Matchmaker?

Chen Laiqing was stunned for a moment, "I never thought about getting married again?"

His house was only three broken brick houses, and he had to share it with his mother.

The money on hand is only a few hundred Wen, and I am getting old, what kind of wife should I marry?

I can live alone.

The old lady of the Chen family smiled, "Come to celebrate, that woman's conditions are good. The man died the year before last and gave birth to three daughters. She is only 33 years old and can still have children. She has five acres of land in her hand. A pond, four big brick houses, and a donkey cart."

Seeing that Chen Laiqing was frowning, Mrs. Chen said, "Don't worry, I didn't ask you to be a door-to-door son-in-law. The woman said that she was willing to come to our house and have another child. Her only idea was to be worthy of her three sons." Daughter is biological.

Our family is not such a petty family, as long as anyone calls me grandma, or your elder brother and sister-in-law, they are all children of our family.I will be my own. "

"By the way, Laiqing, that woman's ex-husband is also surnamed Chen, so she heard that the man she was looking for was named Chen, and she agreed without saying a word. Now, it depends on what you want. " Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

The condition is very good, it's just...

Chen Laiqing was not moved, perhaps because the previous marriage did not make him feel the joy of getting married, and he did not expect happiness in remarriage.

"I...I have a lot of things on hand, and I don't want to get married for a year or two." Chen Laiqing stood up, "I'm still busy in the tavern, and I'm going home when I have time. Luo Cheng and Jiao Niang are going to Shuanghe Village on business today. Now, no one in the tavern is watching, I have to go back."

After he finished speaking, he left.

"Hey, come to celebrate, come to celebrate?" Mrs. Chen quickly stood up and chased her out.

Chen Laiqing's legs are all healed, and he can walk like flying, and he has gone far.

He turned a corner at the intersection ahead and disappeared.

"This damn child—" Mrs. Chen shook her head, "Why did you become stubborn?"

Mrs. Chen smiled, "Maybe he didn't come back to his senses for a while, after all, the daughter-in-law he married before made him feel hurt."

"Hmph, I blame the Luo family. They don't take people seriously. They came to celebrate such a good young man. After 20 years of marriage, they have become less talkative." Mrs. Chen shook her head and sighed.

Mrs. Chen didn't know what to say, "Then, how do we return to Mrs. Chen?"

"Laiqing said that he didn't want to get married for a year or two. The widow is 33 years old. How can he wait for him? Just say sorry to Mrs. Xiang and ask the widow to marry someone else." Old lady Chen groaned angrily. He hummed twice and said.

"Okay, I'm going to find Mrs. Xiang." Mrs. Chen said.

……

Chen Laiqing left his own village, and did not go back to the tavern immediately, but immediately went to the village where Luo Fucai lived.

He kept hiding in the dark, and when Chunbao came out to play alone, he quietly pulled Chunbao and wanted to take Chunbao away again.

Chunbao refused to leave even though he said nothing.

"Your stepmother didn't beat you?" Chen Laiqing asked worriedly.

"No." Chun Bao said, besides scolding him all the time.

Chun Bao refused to go with him, and Chen Laiqing could not take him away by force, so he could only say, "That's good, if she beats you, you can go to the tavern."

Chun Bao nodded, "Understood."

Chen Laiqing patted his head and left.

After walking for a while, he went to the dark place and observed there quietly.

It turned out that the fat woman did not hit Chunbao, but just scolded her a few times.

He shook his head, left, and went back to the tavern.

The stepmother can only treat her stepson like this.

……

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng arrived at He's house before Maoshi.

The He family was very fond of this banquet, before Mao Shi, the house was already brightly lit, and all the servants were already busy.

Some moved tables and chairs to the gazebo, and some moved potted flowers to make shapes in the garden.

Others carried incense burners and moved them into various houses.

From time to time, I heard the lady in charge directing the servants.

It is estimated that there are thirty servants busy.

Being so nervous and busy, the person invited must be of high rank.

Li Jiaoniang told Luo Cheng the thoughts in her heart.

"I heard that three nobles have come, and these three nobles must have a lot of background." Li Jiaoniang said.

"Whoever he is, we just have to do our own thing well, and we won't meet them anyway." Luo Cheng comforted her.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I'm bold, I'm not afraid, I'm just curious, who is here."
