The wife of time travel

Chapter 9

Mrs. Zheng chased after Zheng Xiaolian with a broom, and cursed: "You little bastard, are you just happy to piss me off to death? I won't beat you to death today!"

At the side, Mrs. Liu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and was smiling happily. Seeing Xu Xiaofu, Mrs. Liu raised her face with a thick layer of makeup, "Yo, you're back?"

Xu Xiaofuen let out a cry, and looked up at Mrs. Zheng, feeling a little surprised in her heart, what is going on with Mrs. Zheng today?Usually she loves Zheng Xiaolian the most, but now she is chasing and beating her with a broom, it's really strange.

The lotus behind him seemed a little frightened, and hid behind Xu Xiaofu.

Seeing Zheng Xiaolian who was hiding and jumping up and down, Liu Shi giggled again, turned to look at Xu Xiaofu, approached mysteriously, and said, "Sister, do you know why mother beat Xiaolian?"

Xu Xiaofu took two steps back due to the smell of powder on Liu's body, and asked calmly, "Why?"

"Hehehe...Xiao Lian..." Before Liu could finish her sentence, the broom in Mrs. Zheng's hand suddenly flew towards Liu. Mrs. Zheng stared at Liu and Xu Xiaofu fiercely. "You bastards, if I don't beat you to death if you gobble your tongue!"

Xu Xiaofu turned around and took the lotus back to the room.In fact, Liu Shi didn't need to say anything, she could guess a general idea, maybe it was about Xiaolian and Qingsheng.

Qingsheng's surname is Chen, and he lives on the same street as Zheng's family.

Chen Qingsheng is the second child of the Chen family. The Chen family also has an elder brother who is already married. His wife is a fierce one, and Mrs. Chen dare not mess with her.Mrs. Chen had great expectations for Chen Qingsheng, and she doted on him very much.Mrs. Chen turned a blind eye to the secret relationship between her youngest son and Zheng Xiaolian. Although she didn't like Zheng Xiaolian, her son would not suffer no matter what, so she didn't care about them.

If you marry into such a family, the consequences can be imagined. Because of this, Mrs. Zheng knew that she would not want Zheng Xiaolian to be close to Chen Qingsheng. Unfortunately, Zheng Xiaolian is a master who does not lose money and does not have a long memory. This time I saw Mrs. Zheng If you are so angry, you are afraid that you will cause trouble.

Xu Xiaofu didn't inquire too much, living under one roof, he would always know what happened.

After returning to the room, she could still hear Zheng Xiaolian's voice begging for mercy, "Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop beating me..."

"You idiot, what's the point of being wrong now, now you..." Mrs. Zheng started to cry as she spoke, and then there was a moment of silence outside.

At dinner time, Xu Xiaofu was making dinner in the kitchen when Zheng Xiaolian came in disheveled, "Sister-in-law, help me make hot and sour shredded radish tonight..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng came in from the outside and gave Zheng Xiaolian a look, "You still have the guts to eat! Tonight when your second brother comes back, let your elder brother and second brother take you to the Chen family to seek justice!"

Zheng Xiaolian was quite impatient at what Mrs. Zheng said, "Mother, Brother Qingsheng said he would marry me, so stop talking about it, okay?"

Mrs. Zheng snorted and stopped talking.

Xu Xiaofu knew what was going on, it should be that Xiaolian was pregnant with Chen Qingsheng's child.For this, Xu Xiaofu had to admire Zheng Xiaolian, she was really daring, she dared to do such an advanced thing in such a feudal era.

Sure enough, during the meal, Zheng Xiaolian retched again and again, which made Mrs. Zheng turn black again.

After dinner, Mrs. Zheng took Zheng Shiwen, Zheng Shihua and Zheng Xiaolian to Chen's house.

Xu Xiaofu went to bed early, so he didn't know what the outcome of the matter would be.

Seeing Zheng Xiaolian with red eyes at breakfast the next day, Xu Xiaofu knew the result, the Chen family didn't want to marry her.That's right, what kind of temperament is that old woman of the Chen family, how could she let her son marry a down-and-out family like the Zheng family.

Mrs. Zheng's eyes were also red, apparently she hadn't slept well all night, even Zheng Shihua looked haggard, only Zheng Shiwen was refreshed, apparently had a good night's sleep.

"Dalang, Erlang, what do you do now?" Mrs. Zheng asked with a weary expression.

Zheng Shiwen said: "What else can we do? The kid from Qingsheng doesn't want to marry Xiaolian, so can we force him to marry him? I think we can just grab some medicine and give Xiaolian to eat it..."

Zheng Shihua retorted, "No, the medicine will hurt your body, and how will Xiaolian marry in the future? You must let Qingsheng marry our Xiaolian!"

"Erlang is right. No matter what, the boy from the Chen family must marry Xiaolian from our family. This matter must be done quickly, otherwise Xiaolian's stomach will be in a few months..." Mrs. Zheng glanced at Zheng Xiaolian's stomach as she spoke, and then Seeing that Liu Shi was covering her mouth with a handkerchief, she couldn't help cursing angrily: "What are you laughing at, you bastard! It's been months since you entered the house and you still haven't gotten pregnant, don't be another chicken that doesn't lay eggs!"

Liu's expression changed, but she just snorted softly.

Nian frowned, "Okay, let's eat quickly. Brother and Xianggong have to go to Chen's house again after dinner, and settle Xiaolian's matter earlier."

The family stopped talking and started eating with sullen heads.After dinner, Mrs. Zheng took Zheng Shiwen, Zheng Shihua and Zheng Xiaolian out again.Nianshi is going to the shop, only Xu Xiaofu, Hehua and Liushi are left at home.Mrs. Liu didn't go back to her room either, she stood in the kitchen and watched Xu Xiaofu wash the dishes, "Hey, sister, do you think that Chen family boy will marry Xiaolian?"

Xu Xiaofu said: "I don't know."

Mrs. Liu leaned against the kitchen door weakly and bonelessly, and said delicately: "This Xiaolian is really bold, she dared to sleep with a man before she even settled on a marriage, and she even has his own kind Now, with such low self-respect, it's no wonder that the Chen family boy doesn't want to marry her, giggling... Xiaolian deserves it, sister, don't you think?"

Xu Xiaofu said again: "I don't know."

"Boring!" Liu Shi pursed her lips, twisting the waist of the water snake and walking away.

Xu Xiaofu was indeed not interested in Zheng Xiaolian's affairs, and Zheng Xiaolian had nothing to do with her no matter what.Busy with the work in the kitchen, she took the lotus and went out.

When walking out of the alley, he had to pass by Chen's house. Xu Xiaofu glanced at Chen's house. The door of Chen's house was closed, and he could vaguely hear Mrs. Zheng yelling and cursing.A group of neighbors surrounded the Chen family, as if they wanted to watch the excitement, their eyes lit up when they saw Xu Xiaofu, one of the women pulled Xu Xiaofu over, and said with a smile: "Xiaofu, your mother-in-law brought the whole family to Chen What's the matter at home? I looked inside and started arguing?"

Xu Xiaofu lowered his head and said timidly: "Auntie, I don't know what's going on."

The woman obviously didn't believe it, "How is it possible? I look at your mother-in-law very unhappy, does it have something to do with Xiaolian?"

"Auntie, I really don't know." After finishing speaking, Xu Xiaofu hurried away with the lotus in hand.

When they came to Xu's house, Wang's big bone soup had already been cooked. Seeing Xu Xiaofu, he smiled and said, "Xiaofu, here you come? Come and taste the soup I made."

Xu Xiaofu tasted it, and the taste was naturally very fragrant. Before making hot and sour soup, Xu Xiaofu asked Mrs. Wang to bring out two marinated sauerkraut, and made some chili powder, and used big bone soup to make soup At the bottom, add sauerkraut, heart and lung, pepper, and a pot of hot and sour heart and lung soup is out of the oven. It tastes very good. The hot and sour soup is very appetizing.

Then I made another pot of clam meat tofu soup.

Fortunately, there were many stoves at home, so Xu Xiaofu accompanied Wang to the pier at noon.At this time, many people were already waiting, and seeing them hurriedly said: "Auntie and sister-in-law are here, what soup do you have today?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Brother, today we have big bone soup, hot and sour heart and lung soup, and clam meat and tofu soup. Both big bone soup and hot and sour soup cost one penny a bowl, and clam meat and tofu soup costs two pennies a bowl." .”

The man said: "Why is clam meat and tofu soup more expensive? Is the clam meat delicious?" His mother-in-law made it before, and the meat has a strong smell and is tough.

"Brother, this tofu needs money to buy, and the clam meat has to be fished in the river. It's not easy in this cold weather, so it's naturally more expensive. Why don't you try it, if you don't think it tastes good, I won't accept it How about your money?" Xu Xiaofu said with a smile.

The man said: "Success, then give me a bowl of clam meat and tofu."

Xu Xiaofu swiftly added a bowl of clam meat and tofu soup to the man. The man took a sip, was stunned for a moment, and without saying a word, he handed it to Xu Xiaofu.Someone nearby asked the man how the clam broth tasted, and the man said: "You will know if you buy a bowl and try it."

Seeing how delicious the man's food was, the man hesitated for a while and bought a bowl to taste it, "Oh, it tastes really good, but it's really fresh, and this clam meat is also delicious, auntie, how about you?" It's really good workmanship."

Wang smiled and said nothing.

There were a lot of people at the pier, plus Xu Xiaofu and his family were the only ones who sold food here, and soon the three pots of soup were sold out, and the two of them collected the last bowls and chopsticks and pushed the cart back.

"Mother, after I go back, I will give you the recipe for the clam meat. You can try it out. Once you are proficient, you will be able to master the heat and the taste will be good." Xu Xiaofu knew that he would not be able to come here often in the future, so Mrs. Wang must learn these things quickly.

"Okay, after I learn it, you will come here less often, so that your mother-in-law won't nag you again. Don't worry, Xiao Fei. I see that folk remedy seems to be very effective. I haven't coughed up blood for a few days. Wait until I earn money." I’m going to ask the doctor to come over and take a look at the money, so don’t worry about it.” Today, I earned 150 Wen, and the cost is only [-] or [-] Wen. If it goes on like this for a long time, Qingshan will be able to have money to marry a wife. Wang was very happy in her heart, and was very grateful to her daughter.

"Mom, I see."

Bringing the lotus back to Zheng's house, it was already dark, Xu Xiaofu didn't care about Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Xiaolian, who were in the room with ugly faces, and went straight into the kitchen to cook.

Not long after, Mrs. Zheng came in. She glanced at Xu Xiaofu, her expression seemed a little embarrassed, and she said after a while, "Xiaojian...Xiaofu, is there a second brother in your family who hasn't married yet?"
