Chapter 55

It was almost evening when Xiucai came out of Linjiacun and hurried back to Wangjiacun. He was hungry and tired. He barely ate a meal last night and it has not been easy until now. Now, what I want to do most now is to go home and have a good rest.But Mrs. Cui even reprimanded Mrs. Zhang to tell him to go over.

After Lin Guoxiang took the child back to her mother's house, Wang Liu's family completely depended on her house. They lived and boarded at her house without any excuses. Wang Tao and his family had no choice but to stay. She saw that Cui's health is fine and she wants to go back the next day, but Cui has no choice but to stay at the eldest brother's house.This time Mrs. Zhang has to serve not only her aunt's family but also her sister's couple. It can be seen how bad her mood is. She resents Lin Guoxiang more and more in her heart. The dead woman slipped away very quickly and found an excuse to offend everyone. She happened to go back to her mother's house to hide and didn't even have to make up excuses. She is now regretful. She would have known that she had used this trick too.

Mrs. Zhang felt resentment in her heart, so she became more and more displeased when she saw a scholar. Even if he was a scholar, she still couldn't help but sneer at him, otherwise how could she balance her heart?
"Second brother, you are such a noble person, it's hard to invite. I have invited you back and forth no less than three times before I finally invite you." Mrs. Zhang squinted at the scholar from the corner of her eye and said sarcastically, Mrs. Cui That old woman is so eccentric. The aunts and aunts are all there, but they are not allowed to come and call people, but she is a busy person who is so busy that everyone is blind. I didn't see that she was both cooking and mowing grass. Feed the sheep?Not to mention the fact that he just sat there with his hands stretched out and waited for her to serve him. Do you really think that you are a nobleman or an uncle?
The scholar was already tired enough after driving for a day and a night, and he was already annoyed that Mrs. Zhang came to trouble him like this again, and the evil fire in his heart couldn't stop surging to his forehead, so he also He replied unceremoniously: "Isn't that right? After all, I am recognized by the public as a scholar. Even if I am not as good as those nobles, I am much more expensive than some rural housewives in the village."

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she fell on her back. Fortunately, the awe that even she didn't know about scholars in the past played a role in bringing her back to her senses. Otherwise, she really wanted to show her paws directly like Lin Guoxiang. He greeted the scholar's face.However, Mrs. Zhang has always been used to being arrogant in the Wang family, and the little uncle Xiucai usually keeps silent. After a long time, people will have the illusion that he is a bully just like Lin Guoxiang, but she But I forgot, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that Xiucai is such a big living person.

"Hmph, now you're talking like a person, and I don't know which shameless Lai is cheating on food and drinking at our house, and it's not that he has no hands or feet and has to be supported by others. He's really thick-skinned." How can Mrs. Zhang suffer? , so unceremoniously sarcastically went back, "If you really have nothing to eat, you can just go beg for food. What are you still doing at our house? I would rather feed those things to the dog and still hear the noise at night, but after feeding That shameless white-eyed wolf really wasted food for nothing..." Mrs. Zhang's words became more and more excessive, and the scholar's eyebrows frowned, and finally he couldn't bear it and shouted: "Enough!"

Mrs. Zhang was so frightened by his low shout that she almost jumped up. Although she said it cheerfully, the awe accumulated over the years cannot be wiped out in a few sentences. How could Xiucai get angry? Can it make her not afraid?
"Sister-in-law, sometimes people don't go too far, otherwise there will be retribution sooner or later." Xiucai stared at Mrs. Zhang with gloomy eyes, "Don't worry about how many bad things you have done to our family by secretly instigating the old lady all these years." In the past, I didn't know, no one is a fool, I think you are my sister-in-law to give you some face, but don't go too far, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Mrs. Zhang has been married to the Wang family for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has seen such a terrifying side of her little uncle. Although he didn't show much anger on his face, those dark eyes were like a dark bottomless pit. There was a stream of cold air coming out of it, and it penetrated directly into her forehead. The whole person seemed to have fallen into the ice that would not melt for thousands of years, and the cold air was blowing from the inside to the outside.At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and her hairs stood up from the cold, her scalp became even more explosive, and her body began to shiver involuntarily.

Zhang felt that her entire soul was going to be sucked in by that dark bottomless pit, her legs were so weak that she almost sat on the ground, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and finally managed to stabilize her mind and said sternly: "What retribution, don't talk nonsense here, I can see how filial I am, what can I do to tease her Yes! It’s you, who ate my food and drank mine but didn’t even thank you in the end, I think you’re not as good as a beast!” After speaking, he spat on the ground, expressing his contempt for the scholar, and at the same time Embolden yourself with this.

"I'll eat yours and drink yours?" Xiucai thought it was the coldest joke he had ever heard, "Did sister-in-law forget to take money from the old lady every month? Don't forget the money I earned it by teaching people, and even if I went to your house to eat, I paid for it!" Actually, he lied from the beginning, and he knew some things these years, but he had to pay for it for some reason. Pretend not to know, as long as what they do is not too much, they can only bear it and not have an attack.

When Mrs. Zhang saw that Xiucai mentioned the matter of silver, she jumped up from the ground like a cat whose tail was stepped on. In her heart, she cried out guiltyly like a thief who was caught on the spot during the theft: "Those silver are all If the old lady is willing to give it to me, it’s none of my business! If you have money, it’s a stick! What’s more, this is what you should do, hehe, the old lady told me everything about it back then, you killed me Father-in-law, so it's only natural for her to take money from you!"

Mrs. Zhang's words made Xiucai's face change suddenly, his livid face was mixed with guilt and regret, and he said sharply: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't kill dad!"

Mrs. Zhang knew that she had made the right bet this time, and she really hit the scholar's weakness, tearing off the wound that had been sealed up in his heart, leaving his wound exposed to the air again bloody.Seeing Xiucai lowering her head from anger to slump, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help showing a smug smile mixed with complacency. Her heart was as comfortable as drinking a bowl of cold well water in the dog days, but she never thought about it. But how vicious and cruel it is to do so.

"Why, I have nothing to say? Or did you not expect the old lady to tell me this?" Mrs. Zhang was so proud of herself. She felt that she had finally reached consummation. She finally completely stepped on her uncle who had always been aloof Under your feet, it's like trampling an ant to death, "Hmph, you can't think of it, the old lady was not far away when you pushed father-in-law into the river, she was going to ask you to go back to eat, but she saw you doing it There was something about killing your own father, tsk tsk... This person really can't just look at the surface, let's take you as an example, the second brother, you pretend to be a dog on weekdays, but it turned out to be such a vicious person .”

"Shut up!" Scholar shouted at Mrs. Zhang with blood-red eyes, and the veins on his neck and forehead were all bulging, twisting and looking extremely ferocious on his bookish and delicate face, " I didn't push Dad into the river, he slipped down by himself, I tried to pull him but he didn't..."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips in disdain: "Hmph, most murderers say they didn't kill... Ah, what are you going to do, let me go!"

"Like I said, I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't push dad down!" Xiucai jumped up like an enraged lion, and strangled Zhang Shi's neck, mixed with tears while pinching Zhang Shi He shook his neck vigorously and roared, "Why don't you believe me, why? It's been 20 years, why you still don't believe what I said, huh? I said I didn't push my father into the river, it was him I slid down by myself..."

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes when she was pinched by Xiucai, and tried to break Xiucai's hand with both hands, but she couldn't break it away because of Xiucai's strength.Now she is afraid and regretful in her heart. She knew that she should not have angered him by telling this matter. He can kill even his own father. What's more, she is just a sister-in-law with a different surname. Dead man...

"Father, I really didn't push him into the river..." Just when Zhang's face turned purple from being pinched and was about to die , "If you have to tell me what you say, you will believe me. I really didn't push Dad into the river... I really didn't do it..."

After being relieved, Mrs. Zhang would dare to stay here, like a frightened rabbit, she even forgot the "task" that Mrs. Cui had given her, and let the scholar squat there and murmur in pain.When she ran home, she rushed into the pot house, drank two bowls of cold water and hiccupped before she finally recovered.Thinking of the situation just now, she still felt a little bit of fear in her heart, patted her chest and secretly rejoiced that she was really lucky...
