Flowers are expensive

Chapter 86
Deng Kailuo asked with a smile: "Are you two going to talk for the rest of the night against the stars and the moon?" Lihua shrugged helplessly, pointed to the attic and said, "No way, brother Cailuo, there is still a plague god sitting there If you are willing to leave, if I don’t ask clearly, our family Xie Daxia and I will not be able to sleep tonight!”

Gong Shi covered her mouth and giggled and asked, "Really?"

"Why don't you go up and take a look? You're still sitting there like a pissed-off Stove King Bodhisattva! His fourth brother almost threw him down." "Then tell him, our Deng family can't do that." The matter of selling the girl will go back to the city resident surnamed Zeng tomorrow."

"That's good, I can sleep soundly now! Be careful on the way back, and go in first!" After Lihua slipped back to the gate, Deng Kailuo asked Mrs. Gong as he walked, "What are you muttering about? Who is the Kitchen King Bodhisattva?"

"Man Xiang! Who else? He likes Yutao, you don't know?"

"There are so many people who like my sister, how can I control those? However, if Manxiang wants to marry Yutao, he has to pass Mrs. Xie's test. My mother's place is nothing, it's not her daughter , it's Manxiang!"

"Lihua said that the horoscope is a joke that the fortune-teller came up with when he was full and had nothing to do. If he can really calculate the past and the future, why doesn't he calculate how long his family will live and when will he get rich? You Is that the reason?"

"Have you learned a lot of lip service from Lihua? I'm afraid I won't be able to speak up to you in the future!"

"You know how to bully me!"

"I want to bully other people's daughter-in-law, and you don't like it!"

Gong couldn't help laughing, patted Deng Kailuo on the back and laughed: "Go, go, why am I not happy? You just go, I can't live without you?"

Deng Kailuo suddenly turned around and wanted to catch Gong Shi, but Gong Shi smiled and said: "Go aside, if someone sees it, they will think what these two couples are doing!"

"In the middle of the night, who has time to come and see us? What did you mean by that just now? Who else are you going to find if you leave me?"

"I'll go back and find my father to live with. Is it okay for the head office?"

"That's about the same. If you dare to find another man, I'll kill a robber one by one."

"Look, you're so proud. Next time you see a robber, you'd better stay away. Last time I was scared to death. I thought I had to change my marriage before I got through the door! This time you go out, you can Be careful, those people are not easy to mess with."

"Got it, got it, come on, I'll carry you back!"

Deng Kailuo bent down, and Mrs. Gong jumped on his back skillfully, and they went back to the village together.

This night, Man Xiang was probably the one who couldn't sleep the most, because when he had breakfast the next day, he kept yawning, as if he hadn't slept all night.Mrs. Zhuang asked curiously: "Man Xiang, you stole the cow last night? Did you not sleep well?"

"No." Man Xiang replied lazily.

"Is it sick?" Aunt Xie asked again.

"No."

"What's the matter?"

"No."

"Nothing? Are you talking like your fourth brother?" Aunt Xie patted him on the head and said, "I haven't seen you in the field recently, and you look like you're dying of exhaustion. Say, what did you do?" "

Man Xiang looked at Lihua with extremely innocent eyes, and the porridge in Lihua's throat almost choked out, thinking that the boy would not talk about such a pretense, and he was talking about business!She glanced back at Man Xiang with a smile in her eyes, as if she was saying that she could handle it herself!
"May I ask you something, Fifth?" Aunt Xie asked again.

"I didn't do anything, mother. I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. Do I have to tell you one by one what I did? I don't go to the fields recently, but I didn't stop the work that my elder brother asked me to do." Zhuang After receiving the words, he glanced at Jin Ling'er and his wife and said, "Old Fifth is quite honest, his second elder brother often praises him, he works neatly, he is not lazy, and he has done well in what he has been told. By the way, the fifth—" She asked Man Xiang with a smile on her face, "Have you been to the fields recently? Why didn't I hear what your second brother said? Did you go to visit some wife?"

Man Xiang's ears only heard the last sentence, his face blushed slightly, he lowered his head to pick up the rice and said, "Second sister-in-law, where did you go? Whose wife do I dare to sneak a peek at? Eat and eat!" Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Zhuang sighed in her heart while laughing, after all Man Xiang was still young and couldn't understand the true meaning of what she just said.My mother-in-law doesn't go to the field very often now, how do I know that Man Xiang rarely goes to the field recently?I'm afraid someone is complaining behind his back.

Man Xiang didn't hear this, but Aunt Xie did.She glanced dissatisfiedly at Mrs. Zhuang from the corner of her eye, took advantage of the atmosphere, and asked Man Sheng with a smile on purpose: "My third son, have you and Jin Ling'er thought it over? Should we go to town or stay at home?"

Man Sheng knew that Mrs. Xie was stepping down the steps for him, so he hurriedly said: "Mom, Jin Ling'er and I have thought over what grandma said several times, and after much deliberation, we still feel that we can't leave this house. It's our thinking." It was incomplete, and my family members misunderstood it. In fact, we didn’t have any bad intentions, we just wanted to open a tofu shop in the town to earn money, and bring the whole family to live in the town.”

No one answered his words, only Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "It's good for you to have such a thought. You should tell grandma about it in the morning, so as not to be misunderstood. Now be humble to grandma, and you'll be fine. Right, mother?" She finished speaking and looked at Guan Shi.

Guan raised her eyelids, and said slowly: "Since you have decided not to leave home, you have to work harder in the future, don't let the youngest brother be compared to you, you don't look good yourself. The owner of the tofu shop After I die, you can slowly figure it out." Man Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, touched Jin Ling'er with his arm, and signaled her to say something.But she was ashen-faced, biting the tip of her chopsticks, she just refused to bow her head to Mrs. Guan.What she has been looking forward to has come to naught now, she wants to cry but has no tears, how can she have the energy to speak kindly to Guan Shi?
Man Sheng had no choice but to smile and said to Guan: "Grandma, we know, don't worry, we will remember what you scolded us!"

"Want to take revenge?"

"No, no! I just plan to remember to change it properly."

"Man Sheng, if you want to do business, your mouth is not good enough, you need to hone it. Learn from your fourth sibling. If you can talk faster than her, then grandma will let you do business without worry. gone."

"Yes, yes, yes," Man Sheng nodded eagerly, "The fourth younger brother can talk, and it's the fourth younger brother's blessing to be able to marry her!"

This was originally a casual polite remark from Man Sheng, but it accidentally pierced Jin Ling'er's most painful heart.luck?Is it considered a blessing to be married to such a sister?She glanced sideways at Lihua, who was serving vegetables in the courtyard, and her heart was full of jealousy and hatred!
After breakfast, Man Sheng went back to his room to change his shoes, ready to perform well on the field.Jin Ling'er then came in and asked, "Xie Mansheng, do you plan to stay here until the day grandma dies?"

"Jin Ling'er, don't be in a hurry," Man Sheng persuaded, "Things have come to this point, if you don't give in first, is it possible to move out? With your little dowry in the town I can live on, but I, Xie Mansheng, don’t want to be told to let my wife take care of me! Besides, why can’t I share the things in this family? I’m the real son of this family! Grandma’s brain is wrong, but mother’s heart I understand. Once grandma dies, the family will be separated at that time, and I will take what I deserve and leave!"

Jin Ling'er's face turned green with anger, and she yelled at him in a low voice: "Is that what you intend?"

"This is the only way to go now, what else can you do? Who told you to learn how to make tofu from your mother? You know that old people have the habit of waking up at night, and they don't sleep like young people, so why not?" So careless..."

"Xie Mansheng, is your son here to blame me?" Jin Ling'er couldn't help being furious, "Even if grandma knows that mother taught me how to make tofu in private, would she have thought about our going to town? If it wasn't for you How would grandma know if you drank and chatted with your good buddies here and boasted? Which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village don’t ask grandma to get herbal medicine? Can you pass it on to her? She is as wicked as a needle point Yes, if mother hides and teaches me again, she has to find out! You are such a man! If you dare not take your wife out of the house, you can blame me instead!"

"I have a part in this house, why should I leave empty-handed? Besides, you have been clamoring to live in the town and don't like to stay in this house, but this is my house after all. Living here, who dares to say anything?"

The more Jin Ling'er thought about it, the angrier she became: "Is this how you coax me? Who told my parents before that I will definitely live a good life, and all the houses and shops in any town will be in order, and it won't be long. Move over! It’s good now, I still have to fight with those people outside!” In fact, it doesn’t matter who I fight with, what matters is that she has to watch Lihua and Manting stick together every day, and she feels so uncomfortable to death!

Man Sheng blushed at Jin Ling'er's words, and became anxious: "Hey, Jin Ling'er, are you marrying a man or a shop? I didn't say that I wouldn't move to the town? Didn't I have to take care of grandma?" Is grandma so angry that I will be accused of being unfilial, how are you doing? What’s the matter if you live in this house for a longer time? I treat you badly? You lose your food and clothing?”

"I just don't want to live here anymore!" Jin Ling'er couldn't hold back her anger, and yelled at Man Sheng.She felt very wronged in her heart, how could Man Sheng, a stupid pig, know how much she didn't want to live here?
"If you can't stop, you have to live!" Man Sheng clenched his fists tightly, wanting to slap her and slap her into the corner!But in the end he liked Jin Ling'er, since he was a child, so he held back and didn't do anything, just slammed the door and walked out.

Jin Ling'er was so angry that she patted the table several times, her palms were numb with pain.She complained in her heart that Xie Mansheng was not a man, and he didn't even have the ability to move out to support his wife. Why did he lose his head and marry such a man back then!Originally, my father wanted me to marry Xie Manting, but who knew that Xie Manting's tail was so high that he looked down on him anyway!Because of this, she shed tears behind her back!
"Jin Ling'er, your mother is here!" Zhuang's lukewarm voice sounded outside the house.

Jin Ling'er hurriedly cleared her throat, answered, opened the door and walked out quickly.Mrs. Xie was greeting Mrs. Guo and wanted to invite her to come in for a sit down.But she stood outside the door with a perfunctory expression on Aunt Xie's words, and then waved to Jin Ling'er.

Jin Ling'er walked out the door, pulled Guo Shi and asked, "Mother, what's the matter at home?"

"You child," Guo scolded after seeing each other, "Knowing that Xiu'er is in a bad mood, she doesn't come back to take a look. She has been bored these days, and she doesn't talk to anyone. Your father is dying of anxiety. Hurry up and go back with me, and persuade her well. "

"Mom, do you just think that I really don't want to go back?" Jin Ling'er lowered her voice and said aggrievedly, "Now the Xie family has set a rule for me. If I want to go back, I have to ask grandma, and grandma agrees to go back. You don't know I stayed at home for a night, and when I came back, I scolded my grandma bloody!"

"What? Scolding you for such a trivial matter? The Xie family doesn't take our Jin family seriously, does it? I have to ask Mrs. Xie, where is there such a bully?"
