Lu Qianting's face turned red, his expression was a little dazed, a little shocked, and a little embarrassed.He didn't seem to know how Lu Qianshan, who was gentle and quiet before, became what he is now, speaking so harshly.

"You, you were not like this before..." Lu Qianting stammered.

Lu Qianshan sneered, "It's true that I wasn't like this before, but people always change. Didn't you force me to become like this?"

"What are you talking about?" Lu Qianting was a little annoyed, "What do you mean being forced by us? Who forced you?"

Lu Qianshan knew that there must be no leeway in dealing with this kind of people, as long as there was leeway, they would slap their noses in the face, which was very annoying. "Then do you know why I was suspended?" he asked.

Lu Qianting shook his head.He really didn't know, because when Lu Qianshan was suspended, he was still in the academy.

Lu Qianshan's voice was very soft, but he spoke clearly.He said slowly: "Other people marry me because they think they can take advantage of Mr. Xiucai. Otherwise, who wants to spend 20 taels of silver to marry a little brother who can't bring any dowry and will be beaten by the family of Mr. Xiucai?" What? I married me for a year. During this year, your family went to other people’s houses again and again. You want this and that. After taking things away, you only leave me kneeling and kowtowing. I beg them not to care. It’s been a long time. I also found out that our family is nothing more than your family's servants. Not only can't get cheap, but also pay back, so I divorced me in a rage. I didn't bother you about this because I really don't want to see Your family is gone, and you, it’s best not to trouble me.”

Lu Qianting was dumbfounded, "No, no, you must have misunderstood something."

Lu Qianshan snorted and said, "What's the misunderstanding? How can you be even more shameless if you misunderstand?"

"You!!" No one ever said that to Lu Qianting. He has been pampered and held up by his family since he was born. Later, he studied as a scholar at a young age, and he is an existence that the whole village looks up to. "I don't know what to say!" After he finished speaking, he took a few breaths and said coldly, "I came to you because I wanted to rent the yard in the backyard of your house. After the first month, how much do you want?"

Lu Qianshan looked at him in surprise, "Can't you understand people's language? I said I don't want to see your family!"

"Is two taels of silver enough?" Lu Qianting said with a gloomy face, "Lu Qianshan, the reason why I spoke nicely to you is because of our previous friendship, don't..."

"Who has friendship for you? Do you want to be shameless? I know it. When you bring things to the door, others think you are here to ask for forgiveness. So you are here to provoke? Now that I have been suspended, you are bullying me. Come on me? You can be considered a scholar!" Lu Qianshan's voice became louder and louder, attracting all the neighbors who live nearby, and leaning on the courtyard wall to peep their heads.

"Lu Xiucai, I've come to this point. Please don't bother your family anymore, okay? We don't intend to take advantage of your family, let alone be beaten by your family again and again. Please forgive our family. !" After Lu Qianshan finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed twice, "Lu Xiucai, can your family stop pestering me? Do you want to kill my family if you want to be happy?"

Lu Qianting had never seen anything like this before, so he quickly took two steps back in fright.

Zeng Hongmei rushed out of the house with Lu Qianfan, holding a broom in her hand, "My surname is Lu, do you think that we will be afraid of your family if you are admitted as a scholar? You really can't bully people enough!" After finishing speaking , and greeted him with a broom.

"You are shrews, shrews!!" In order to avoid the broom, Lu Qianting stepped on the ice and fell to the ground. "I just want to come to your house to rent that small yard. What are you doing?"

"You guys just want to take advantage of renting a yard! Let me tell you, Lu Xiucai, don't be shameless, if you make me anxious, I will go to your academy and ask, why do people like you study and take exams? Talent!" Zeng Hongmei doesn't care about this, she has a lot of resentment towards the Lu family in the west of the village, and she brought Lu Qianfan just to support her, but seeing the whining of the broom in her hand, ten Lu Qianting might not be her opponent .

Lu Qianshan hugged Zeng Hongmei's leg and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, forget it. After all, he is a scholar who is not easy to mess with. Even if others know that his family always plots against us, but we are ordinary people, what's the use? Back then I Wasn’t it just because of this? Forget it, we can hide if we can’t be provoked. Lu Xiucai, please, don’t show kindness and don’t come to our house? There are so many people with the surname Lu in the village, you Go find them!"

Lu Qianting carried the snack box and ran away in embarrassment.

He came home panting, with a gloomy and ugly face.Mrs. Wang from the fourth family took a nap and went out to pour hot water. When she opened the door and saw him, she said, "Where did Mr. Xiucai go? Did you buy some snacks? Come on, fourth aunt will help you get it in?"

Lu Qianting pushed her away violently, "Get out of the way!" After saying that, he entered the main room with a livid face.

Wang Shi pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I think I'm rare for your snacks." After speaking, she followed into the main house with an empty pot.Now there are only two stoves in the main house that are burning all day long. Other people only burn firewood and boil a pot of hot water to wash their faces and hands and heat the kang when they go to bed at night.However, there were many people in the main house, so she just went to a hot water to drink, and then thought about which house to go to in the afternoon to warm up the kang.

When he entered the house, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun were busy at the stove behind the main room, making dough and peeling potatoes.In the past, when Mrs. Wang was around, she would help the two of them with some work, but Mrs. Wang has gone back to her mother's house now, and Lu Guangfa borrowed a car to pick them up after lunch, and she hasn't come back yet.So the work done by the women inside and outside the yard is basically done by Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun.

Yu Shi also fell asleep and woke up feeling uncomfortable all over.She was leaning on the kang and was discussing the appearance of flowers with Jin Zhi'er, while Yu Ye'er was sitting in the back, fiddling with her jewelry and looking back and forth in the mirror.Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the edge of the kang, sewing small clothes for Mrs. Yu's unborn child.

A few women chattered about the housework, the thick cotton door curtain was brushed aside, Lu Qianting walked in with a dark face, and threw the snack box in his hand on the kang table.

Yu Shi was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are your clothes still dirty? Where did you drop them?" Then he got off the kang, and took a broom to sweep the dirt off Lu Qianting's body.

Only then did Lu Qianting realize the pain in his body, his butt hurt, his back hurt, and his arms hurt.He rolled up his sleeves and found that the skin on his elbow had been broken and blood was oozing out.

Yu exclaimed, "Where did you fall? Why is it still broken?"

Mrs. Zhang also hurriedly dropped the things in her hands to look at them. The two women frantically went to find medicine for wounds and a clean coat for Lu Qianting.

Lu Qianting changed his coat and applied the medicine, sat on the chair angrily, and said angrily: "That family is really unreasonable, I'm so mad!"

Xiao Zhang asked, "What's the matter?" She didn't know that Lu Qianting went to Lu Guangming's house, and thought he went to someone's relative.

Lu Qianting opened his mouth, remembering what Lu Qianshan said, he gritted his teeth with hatred, "Mother, let me ask you, how did Lu Qianshan get divorced?"

Xiao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's because she can't give birth."

"Married for just one year? Was she dismissed because she couldn't have children?" Lu Qianting's voice became louder, "Who would marry a wife like this? She will come back after being unable to have children for a year?"

"Oh, what are you doing with such a loud voice?" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly covered his mouth, "Keep down, your grandma doesn't want to hear about his family."

Although Lu Qianting was really angry, his voice was also quieter, "If you don't want to hear it, you can pretend that you can't hear it? Then Lu Qianshan told me that he was married, and our family went to ask for things every time. If the family is not happy, we will divorce him. I'm back, but that's it?"

Xiao Zhang hesitated and couldn't speak.

Seeing her like that, Lu Qianting understood a lot, and became even more indignant, "I studied hard in the county town, and I wanted our family to honor our ancestors. But what? Now people say that our family is not benevolent and is taking advantage of others everywhere! This should spread, What else should I read? Why don’t you come back and farm!”

"My ancestor, don't say that." Xiao Zhang panicked, "You... went to their house? Oh, why didn't you tell me? When they called at the door, they called me. Your mother and I even smashed the windows of our house, and it cost a lot of money to repair the windows. Will people be happy if you come to the door?"

"Did I let them smash it?" Lu Qianting's voice rose again, "My father and uncle and I were studying hard outside, but there were always people holding us back at home. Now we have made people anxious and caused trouble. On the contrary, it made my face look dull! If I had known that I would be so embarrassing, why would I come back?"

"Oh, my good grandson, which one embarrassed you?" Mrs. Lu Zhang was originally in the east room, making daily routines with her sons, being affectionate and affectionate.Then I heard the angry voice of the eldest grandson, and he also became anxious.She got off the kang and hurried to the West Room. Passing by Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun, she found fault and scolded her, "You are the only ones who are precious? Washing potatoes and using hot water? Do you think you are Miss Qianjin?"

After scolding, she opened the curtain of the west room's door.

Lu Datian and Lu Guangzeng also heard the scolding, so they went to the Westinghouse together, wanting to know who made their scholar so arrogant.

Seeing Lu Zhangshi, Lu Qianting managed to force a smile, "Grandma, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Lu Zhang felt sorry for her big grandson, and said with a smile: "Isn't that why you are angry? What's the matter? Who provoked you and told grandma, grandma will help you."

Lu Qianting twitched his lips and said, "Uncle Guangming's Lu Qianshan provoked me, grandma, he said that the reason why he was dismissed was because our family always went to his in-law's house to take advantage of the autumn wind, but that's the case?"

Mrs. Lu Zhang was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, slapped her thigh and cried, "The shameless little bitch of that family, you can't bully my wife, but even bullied my grandson!" She just stood there crying, but don't move.If he had taken advantage of it, he would have rushed out and cursed people in a hurry.

Lu Datian's face was also a little ugly, and he said to Lu Qianting: "That family is a mess, they came to our house to make noise a few days ago, and they have already said that well water does not violate river water. In the future, don't go to their house, they are unreasonable Don't hurt you again."

Lu Qianting said angrily: "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have the face to stand in front of others if I was beaten to death! It is already a serious crime for a family to dote on a concubine and kill a wife. If it offends Uncle Guangming's family, they will sue, and they will implicate our family later." Come out, I can't afford to lose that face! They are not very serious relatives with us. Why should our family take advantage of the autumn wind when their younger brother gets married? Grandma, you are a straightforward person. Our family lost my father when something like this happened. My uncle and my face, grandma, can you still bear it? If you want me to say, you should separate out this relative who embarrassed your ancestors, so as not to cause trouble in the future!"

When Lu Zhang heard this, his face turned blue and white, and he even forgot how to cry.How dare she mention this, after all, she was the one who took the lead every time and ran to other people's houses to grab things. I thought that the whole family would be weak, even if they were divorced, nothing would happen, at worst, they would find another family to marry. go out chant.But who knows...

No one else spoke, but Lu Guanghui laughed instead, "Don't say that, Mr. Xiucai. We brought back a lot of things from their house and sent them to the county. The flowers brought by your sister, the bracelet for your daughter-in-law, the four seasons Good fruit, and the pens, inks, papers and inkstones that were given to each of you last year, but they are all from others. It’s a pity that you can’t be relatives now, huh? Then you can’t blame your grandma, your grandma is not for you. When I sent it, I also said that it was taken from someone else, but I didn’t see that you don’t want it.”

Lu Qianting was choked, and stammered: "Didn't you still be relatives at that time?"

Lu Guanghui sneered and said, "You said just now that you are not a serious relative, but now you are a relative again? I know that scholars in your family look down on your fourth uncle and four aunts. After all, your fourth uncle and four aunts have no skills, but what can you do?" The good things are all sent to you. Every year when you go to the fields, your fourth uncle and aunt go to work, but your family does nothing. The old five know how to embroider things to subsidize the family, tsk tsk ..."

When Xiao Zhang heard it, her face turned pale, and she didn't know why the words came to her, "What did fourth uncle say? I was busy at home and I didn't worry less. Why did you say that I became Nothing to do anymore?"

Lu Guanghui smiled generously, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too. Didn't I not like it when I heard my nephew keep saying that I want to distribute the autumn wind? Yes, my wife and I went to fight the autumn wind. That's my mother's bandit." If mother doesn’t take it with her, do we dare to go?”

The corners of Lu Zhang's mouth twitched twice, he sat down on the ground, patted his legs and began to cry, "Yes, it's my old lady who got you involved, it's the old lady's fault. I'm old and I don't understand, I just give it my all. For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I only want to use whatever is good for my children and grandchildren. How many days can I live? People who eat bran and swallow vegetables... let me die, you will be clean after I die, let me die !!" She was about to bump into the edge of the kang as she said that, Yu Shi was so frightened that she quickly put her legs up, for fear of being hit by the old lady.

Lu Guangzeng hugged Lu Zhangshi's waist in a hurry, and howled, "Mother, mother, what are you going to do? You can teach your grandson something wrong, what are you doing? Dad, what are you doing? Don’t rush to persuade your mother!”

The west room immediately huddled together, and Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun in the outer room turned pale and ugly when they heard the movement, and trembled all over.As long as Lu Zhang's temper is not going well, the two of them will definitely have an attack. Now their men are not at home, and they have no choice but to bear it if they want to find someone to cry.

There was a lot of commotion here, but the Lu family in the east of the village was quiet.

Zhou's first reaction was to look at Lu Guangming when Lu Qianshan told her that Lu Qianting wanted to rent the small yard.

Lu Guangming wanted to say, isn't it just renting a yard?Just live for two months, just rent it.But as soon as he looked up and saw Zhou's eyes, his desire to survive was overwhelming, and he swallowed these words forcefully.

Zhou said: "Father, what do you think of this?"

how can i seeLu Guangming laughed and said, "Of course we can't rent it, and we're not short of the two taels of silver."

Only then did Zhou show a smile, and after laughing twice, his eyes turned red again.She pulled Lu Qianshan into her arms and cried, "Mother doesn't know that my son has suffered this kind of grievance. I thought that the family just disliked my son as a little brother who couldn't have children after a year of marriage. We can't afford it either. It turns out it was their family who caused the quarrel, and my son's reputation has been ruined by the quarrel, and my mother's heart hurts. If I knew this would happen, I should have beaten the old woman too."

Zhou's hug was tight, Zhong Yulin huddled in Lu Qianshan's arms, almost squeezed into a cake, and huddled without daring to move.I couldn't bear it anymore, so I poked Lu Qianshan's belly hard.

Only then did Lu Qianshan push Zhou Shi away with a smile, and said: "It's all in the past, and now my son is doing well, so don't cry, mother, it hurts your eyes if you cry all the time."

Zhou said: "Mother feels uncomfortable. The more I think about those years, the more uncomfortable I feel. Looking back, those years were as if my heart was covered with pig manure, and my eyes were blind. I can't see my own children suffering. That Lu Qianting...mother was afraid that he and his old uncle would be tired from studying at night, so she thought about making noodles for them and eating eggs at night, so as to replenish their body. Look now, I can eat all the noodles and eggs The dog belly is gone!"

Lu Qianshan said: "In the future, we will close the door and live a good life. What do we want to do so much? By the way, mother, I think of a few ways to cook food. Maybe we can make some money next time. Think about those It’s better to make money and spend it on your own, isn’t it, mother?”

"Yes, yes, my son is now fully enlightened, so mother can rest assured." Zhou wiped away her tears, and laughed, "Don't be like your father, who spends all day dull and stupid, and doesn't know what's good or bad."

Lu Guangming touched his head and laughed twice.

Lu Qianshan told Zhou the recipe for making rice cakes and maltose. Rice cakes are not fresh in the south, but they are a new thing in the north.Although the maltose can be sold in the town, if you can make it yourself, it will save you a lot of money to buy candy during the Chinese New Year. It would be good to think about it.After Lu Qianshan finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou got up from the kang, stopped sewing, and went directly to the granary to find the unhulled wheat and the remaining rice.

Lu Guangming followed, besides helping with work, he could also coax his wife.

Lu Qianfan stood aside with his head sullen, and suddenly raised his hand to touch Lu Qianshan's head, "Brother, if this kind of thing happens in the future, don't let your sister-in-law drag me. I'm your brother. If you are wronged, I can help you." back."

Lu Qianshan nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid you will hit me, brother, you have to learn from my sister-in-law, she is smart. If you all go to this matter today, it will not be good."

Zeng Hongmei raised an eyebrow at Lu Qianfan and said, "Let me just say it, you still blame me."

Lu Qianfan chuckled twice, "I'm going to help my mother with some work." Just as he was about to leave, he was dragged by Zeng Hongmei, "Are you stupid? Didn't you see dad passing by? Forget it, go and chop something." Chai."

Zeng Hongmei sent her husband away, coaxed her younger siblings to see Mavericks, and then said to Lu Qianshan, "Second Uncle, I hope you will always be like this in the future, but don't change back."

Lu Qianshan looked at him, Zeng Hongmei pursed her lips, and said, "I, I think... Forget it, I don't think it's anything, anyway, you are fine now, really fine." After speaking, she lifted the curtain and went out.

Lu Qianshan rubbed his chin and felt that this sister-in-law was really a smart person.She should have realized that she is not the original self. When she was possessed by the ghost, she seemed more nervous than Zhou... But this is also a good thing. If he really has any ideas in the future, he will discuss it with Zeng Hongmei. Anyway, she will take care of this family from now on.

After dinner, Lu Qianfan went over early to heat up the kang in the small courtyard.When Lu Qianshan returned to the yard, he saw a bowl of cooked chestnuts on the stove, thinking that it was Lu Qianfan who made it while the kang was burning, and felt a little warm in his heart.

This family is good people, but too honest.But this is not bad, at least be obedient, and teach slowly in the future.When I'm gone, they won't live the previous life anymore.

Zhong Yulin doesn't look small now, but his posture is not small.I have to wipe my face and hands, I have to eat and drink tea, and I want to take a bath after eating and drinking.

Lu Qianshan felt that if it wasn't for the fact that he had dragon aura and looked like a real dragon cub, he might have thrown away this eccentric little bauble long ago.What bath?Can't you wipe it?Complaints are nothing but complaints, he still brought a large bowl of hot water over and put it on the kang table.

There is no way, this gadget is too small, it can only be bathed in a bowl.

Zhong Yulin covered himself with a handkerchief, concealed himself, and said from time to time: "Don't look, I'm a man after all, you can't just watch me take a bath."

Lu Qianshan almost laughed angrily, "Aren't you enough? You are probably not as big as your own before, so what's the matter with you? It's not that I haven't seen it before, it's only the size of a grain of rice. Let me see it." I don't even bother to look."

Zhong Yulin was furious, "Presumptuous!"

Lu Qianshan looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Are you still taking a bath?" Then he burst out laughing, "I forgot, you are too short to climb into the bowl." He stretched out his hand and squeezed Zhong Yulin's small body , carefully put into a large bowl.

"Like a big dumpling."

"Presumptuous, you, you are presumptuous!" Zhong Yulin was angry like a repeater.

"I'm being presumptuous, you bite me?" Lu Qianshan pushed his forehead wickedly.

Zhong Yulin quickly grabbed the side of the bowl, this big bowl of water was enough to drown him, he didn't want his epitaph to say that this person was drowned while bathing in the bowl.

Can't afford to lose that person!
