Chapter 214 The Xu family came to the door, making a fuss
Zhanggang Village is a small ten miles away from Lijia Village, and is very close to Taoyuan Town. Many families in the village go to the town from time to time to do small businesses and make some money to supplement their family income. The Zhang family is no exception.
As a result, the entire Zhanggang Village is slightly richer than the nearby village, and even the young people in Zhanggang Village are particularly popular.
Compared with his peers in the village, Zhang You is more prominent. He works as a job in the largest grocery store in the town, and does not have to throw food in the ground like his father, facing the loess and backs to the sky. He eats and lives in the shop every day, and he can still get 800 cents of money at home at the end of the month. This wage alone is a big drop in his peers.
In addition, the Zhang family's own financial conditions are also higher than most families. When other people's families can fry eggs twice a month, the Zhang family can eat pork twice a month. This alone is extremely rare. The matchmaker who wants to tell Zhang You about marriage is even more able to flatten the threshold of the Zhang family.
Zhang You is seventeen years old, only one year older than Yue Niang. Originally, he was in a village house, and he could get married and have children at this age, but Zhang You also had a two-year-old brother who had not got married. According to the rules, the brother did not get married, and the marriage between the younger brothers could only be postponed.
Of course, there is a deadline for this extension. It is impossible for Brother Zhang You to drag his brother down to get married and to be a bachelor. If Brother Zhang You was twenty years old and Brother Zhang You still hadn't gotten married, then the Zhang family would put down Brother Zhang You's marriage and talk to Zhang You first.
The reason why Brother Zhang You did not get married was that he was killed when he was young, and he had to marry and have children after he was twenty-two years old, otherwise there would be bloody disasters that would affect his close relatives.
At the beginning, the Zhang family did not take the fortune teller's words to heart. When Zhang You's elder brother was seventeen years old, the Zhang family began to tell him about his dear and soon found a suitable girl.
As a result, the day after the two families got engaged, Zhang You's elder brother was hit by a mad cow while he was selling vegetables in the town. He was hit by a serious injury and fell into a coma. Later, he asked the doctor to see it and took three months to recover.
At that time, the Zhang family just thought it was an accident and did not realize that the accident just confirmed the fortune teller's words. It was not until the third day after Brother Zhang You recovered that he was hit by a child who was throwing stones in the village to play with. He fell to the ground with blood like a pillar. The Zhang family realized the strangeness and soon remembered what the fortune teller said back then.
After all, the life of his son is the most important. In panic, the Zhang family risked being scolded by others, and hurriedly returned Brother Zhang You's marriage and paid the other party a large sum of money. After that, the Zhang family did not dare to say tribute to Brother Zhang You again.
Zhang You is only three years younger than his elder brother. If his elder brother can get married after he is twenty-two, his marriage will be delayed until he is nineteen. It just so happened that Yue Niang will not be able to be filial until she is eighteen years old. It happened that she met Zhang You's time to get married. It can be said that it is very suitable and no one delayed anyone.
In short, on the surface, the Zhang family did not mind Yue Niang losing her father and support, and was compatriotous to her son before telling Zhang You about this marriage. At least the reason was believed by the Sang family, and irrelevant outsiders also believed it.
But Gu Huai helped to investigate Zhang You's mulberry, a little suspicious. The day before the two families officially exchanged their tokens, they quietly told their suspicion to their mother: "The Zhang family has good conditions, and Zhang You is also the most promising one among the three sons of the Zhang family. Even if Zhang You has to wait until he was 19 years old to marry him, it would not be too late. Some girls with better conditions than Yue Niang are married. Why did the Zhang family make Yue Niang so happy?"
It’s not that Yue Niang is not good, Yue Niang looks good, has a skillful mind and obedient temperament, and is completely the candidate for those women who are mother-in-laws. However, at least three or four of such good girls are like this, but only one or two of them are lost in one hundred.
But this is Yue Niang's biggest flaw. The Zhang family cannot have no worries, otherwise they would not have given up the good marriage because their eldest son had two accidents after getting engaged.
"It's you who said Zhang's good family is good, and it's you who said Zhang's problems. If you have to do this repeatedly, your mother will be tired for you!" Mu Shi wanted to roll her eyes, and wanted to pry her brain open to see if there was a change in the core: "No matter if the Zhang family has any other ideas, Zhang's appearance is good, age is good, and has a good temperament. It just matches Yue Niang, and Yue Niang likes it too, why do you want so much?
”
Looking at her mother with a calm look on her face, Sang Ye suddenly realized and approached her with a mercy and asked, "Mom, have you thought about this problem, right? Then what are you thinking? Tell me about it!"
Mu looked at his daughter, and after he looked at her contempt, he said his thoughts: "You can't think of anything you can think of? When you get married, you always have to try something. Just like your father and you, you can help your elder brother to support your family. Zhang family, I'm afraid that our family can bring benefits to their family."
Mu was very open about the Zhang family's little plot. If she had said she was hiding to her younger son, if there were two girls with similar conditions in front of her, she would definitely choose the one with a relatively better family background.
This is not about what is behind the wife, but just to make your son live a better life after marrying her. This is better than marrying a house and spending money to fill it up, and it will be harder to live a difficult life if you are implicated.
The Zhang family's life is good, and Zhang You also has a good job, which is very good. The Zhang family will not be able to settle down when choosing a wife. What are you afraid of losing your parents? Even if you really defeat your father and mother's life, it doesn't mean you will defeat your husband and mother's family.
If the Zhang family did not want anything, she would be worried about telling her goddaughter to their family, so that they would not be jealous and would slap people to death if they had anything in the future.
After listening to his mother's words, Sang Ye felt that some of the ideas he insisted on had been completely subverted, but he couldn't say anything wrong. This is because my mother saw through the selfishness of human nature, so she would feel at ease to promise Yue Niang to the Zhang family!
Without the Zhang family and the Li family, Zhao family, who can guarantee that these families are willing to marry Yue Niang, but who can guarantee that they are not thinking of Zhang family? Zhang You is indeed a promising person, and he is the most suitable Yue Niang so far. No one is better than Zhang You.
Sure enough, ginger is still so hot that she is more considerate. Sang Ye gave her a thumbs up to her mother, and she was so impressed that she was overwhelmed.
Mu felt satisfied, but he was disgusted on his face: "You can just take care of yourself in the future. Don't think about Yue Niang's marriage anymore."
Sang Ye looked confused and pointed at himself and asked, "What's wrong with me? Am I fine?"
When Mu heard this, he became even more disgusted: "I have been married to the Zheng family for so long, but I haven't seen you take care of me as a grandson. I have to worry about you all day long, and dare to say that I am fine? I am not anxious about my own affairs, but I just worry about other people's affairs. Do you think you are careless?"
Sang Que's eyes were full of black lines, and he didn't want to recite this very derogatory word. He retorted with a serene retort: "Didn't you get pregnant with your elder brother half a year after marrying your father? Now that your son-in-law is not at home, who will I ask for you to take care of your grandson? I'm afraid that I will really take care of you, and you are the first to beat me to death!"
Mu smiled angrily, raised his hand and gave her without hesitation: "You unlucky child, why are you so careless? Why did you give birth to such a slander? I really want to make you angry to death."
Sang Ye covered his forehead and rolled his eyes: "Then you have to ask you and your father, why did you make me like this? This must be your and your father's problem."
This was a big blow to the point. Mu did suck her daughter several times, otherwise she would have been holding her back and was afraid of holding her up.
The mother and daughter had a long time fuss. Mu touched her daughter's haggard face and reminded her: "Now that the house at home is built, you will rest at home from now on. If you feel bored, mother asks Yue Niang to go to your place to accompany you."
Yimu's idea was to keep her daughter in her parents' home to take care of her. With so many people accompanying her parents' home, she thought that her daughter would no longer have random thoughts and tossed herself like this.
But the daughter is married, especially when the son-in-law is not at home, it is not a good idea to live in her parents' home for a long time. Even if the in-laws don't say anything, people outside should talk about it again. When the daughter is at her parents' home, their family doesn't care what the people say, but the in-laws are different. It would be bad if the in-laws are dissatisfied with their daughter for this matter.
"No need for mom. I've been much better these two days. Don't let Mom come to accompany me." Sang Ye told a small lie and rejected his mother's proposal with a smile.
In the future, he will go out from time to time, and she will have to slowly adapt to the days when he is away. This time the parting was too sudden, and she got used to relying on him in that month, which made her mental and physiologically feel strongly discomfortable.
This time, it will not be as difficult as it is now. It is impossible for Yue Niang to come and accompany him every time he leaves.
Seeing that his daughter was determined, Mu did not persuade him and instead talked about moving: "The New Year will be in less than a month. Your father wants to move on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, so he happened to have a reunion dinner. The whole family was lively and we would like to invite relatives to come to the warm-up room on the auspicious day after the New Year."
When Sang Ye heard this, he knew that his mother was asking her indirectly whether she could bring Brother Lin back for a reunion dinner that day, and she was a little embarrassed: "Mom, Brother Lin said she would come back before the New Year, but I don't even know where he is now, so I can't guarantee that he will definitely come back for a reunion dinner."
Upon hearing this, Mu did not dare to show disappointment in front of his daughter, but instead comforted her: "It's okay, if A Lin really can't come back, you can bring Huan'er over, and your mother will make all the dishes you and Huan'er love."
Sang Ye felt warm in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing on his face: "Okay, then I'll wait for my mother to make a big meal for me, and I'll be jealous of Yue Niang and her eldest and second sister-in-law."
Mu couldn't help laughing, poked his daughter's head, and laughed and scolded her "snail ghost".
Yue Niang was still in the filial period, and the Zhang family was not easy to be arrogant. The parents of the two families exchanged tokens in person and made a marriage in a low-key manner. During the engagement, Sang Ye was also present and carefully observed Zhang You. Seeing that he was in moderation and was humble and not ostentatious, he felt a little satisfied.
Especially when Zhang You saw Yue Niang, the light in her eyes was not fake, and she obviously had a good impression of Yue Niang. Yue Niang had seen Zhang You a long time ago, and it was precisely because of her own eyes that she chose Zhang You between Zhang You and Zheng Cong.
Although the two met, due to ethics, as a person who experienced it, Sang Ye clearly saw that the two of them met from time to time, bursting out thorny sparks!
Sang Ye was very pleased to see it. He teased Yue Niang a lot in private, and he made Yue Niang blush and let her go with a smile.
After lunch at noon, Mangye returned home and unexpectedly found a guest at home.
The person who came was none other than Xu, the eldest aunt of the Meng family who had met Jingcha that day.
"Hello, my aunt." Sang Ye had no good impression of Xu's family who was making things difficult for her. He took the initiative to say hello to her for the sake of her mother-in-law, and thought about the reason why Xu's family suddenly came to her at this time.
Xu glanced at Sang Ye with a squinted look, and he was picking up on both sides: "Oh, aren't you a slave from a wealthy family? I heard that wealthy families value rules. Now that you see me, an elder, don't even have a blessing or gift. I'm afraid that in a wealthy family, I'm going to be beaten to death?"
Meng's face changed, and he looked at Xu's tone with a little anger: "Sister-in-law, you're too much!"
How could the farmers use the rules of the ceremonies of the rich? The daughter-in-law took the initiative to call people, and there was no place to be rude. Why would the sister-in-law not be able to get along with her?
Xu did not take the anger of his sister-in-law at all, and said confidently: "What's wrong? What did I say wrong? She was not someone else's slave before? She had bad rules, so I, the aunt, could not say it?"
"That was before! Xiao Ye is not a slave now, but my daughter-in-law!" Meng was really angry when she saw that her sister-in-law dared to say it.
My daughter-in-law was indeed a maid from a wealthy family before, but now she is free. My sister-in-law opens her slave in front of her and keeps her slapping her daughter-in-law in the face. Isn’t this also a slap in the face of her eldest son and herself?
"Mom, please calm down and don't get angry." Seeing that my mother-in-law was really angry, Sang Ye hurried forward to give her anger, and was very grateful for her mother-in-law's protection.
When Meng's mood calmed down, Sang Ye turned around and looked at Xu with a smile, without any anger on his face: "My aunt is right. I was indeed a slave to a wealthy family before, and the rules of a wealthy family are indeed great. Unfortunately, now I am free, and my aunt is not my master, so I am not qualified to ask me to give a big gift! Of course, one day, my aunt became my wife and used the rules of a wealthy family. As a junior, I will naturally follow the customs and give my aunt a good gift."
These words were simply a shady irony, which satirized Xu's peasant wife, but she showed off her wife's prose with a big face, and implied that she was unkind and bullied the younger generation.
Xu is not a fool, so she can't hear the sarcasm in Sang Ye's words. She just said those ugly words on purpose just to anger the little vixen so that the vixen could not hide the fox's tail and make it happen with her. She took the opportunity to label her "disrespect to the elders". Unexpectedly, this vixen was not fooled and dared to laugh at her. It's really not a thing!
Xu's eyes rolled, and immediately pulled Meng's crying and started to play with rogues: "Look, look at your good daughter-in-law. If one of my elders said a few words to her, she would dare to stab me in front of me and let my old face be put? You must give me an explanation, otherwise don't blame me for yelling out and let the people in your village judge me."
Meng was frustrated by the quarrel, and was worried that Xu would go out and yell. He quickly dissuaded: "Sister-in-law, this matter is because you were wrong first, and Xiao Ye didn't say the wrong thing. If you yell about this little thing, it's you who are laughing at me!"
These words can be said to be sincere about Xu's concern. Meng really doesn't like Xu's trouble, but in her concept, she is all relatives and her parents' sister-in-law makes unreasonable troubles. It's okay to make trouble at home. If you go outside, it's embarrassing. She has to dissuade her and let her not be embarrassed.
It would be fine if he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Xu's eyes turned pale with depression. He pointed to Sang Ye who was smiling and asked Meng: "Are you going to stand on this vixen? Don't forget, I am your dear sister-in-law and your brother's companion!"
When Meng heard this, she subconsciously said, "Xiao Ye is also my daughter-in-law and my son's companion." It means that they are all her own people, and she has not helped anyone.
But in Xu's ears, it was that his son and daughter-in-law kissed him more than his elder brother and sister-in-law. In Xu's own eyes, it was like this.
Xu was even more angry. She glared at Meng fiercely and said with gritted teeth: "Okay, okay, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are your own people, I am an outsider, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to have a kiss, and I will leave now!"
