018: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked (minor repair)
Chang Xi feigned anger and responded, "Zhang Yingda, you are not allowed to slander my godmother."
Well, she has the character of being a good girl, and there is a nanny Luo who pricks her ears next to her, so she pays great attention to what she says.
But Zhang Yingda, who was in a rage, did not notice these details and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Don't forget, if it weren't for that old godly woman, you wouldn't have been sold to the Jie family. The Jie family..."
Grandma Luo was unhappy when she heard this and was about to scold the half-grown boy in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Chang Xi spoke faster than her, "Zhang Yingda, I know you hate Mrs. Zhao for helping Mr. Lu and letting your father get your mother out, but you hate it, don't drag me into it, Mrs. Zhao
No matter how bad it is, she is still my godmother, do you understand?"
As she spoke, she secretly winked at Zhang Yingda. A real man could bend and stretch, so he couldn't show off his courage at this time.
"Besides, her old lady has died a brutal death, so we have to keep our word even more."
In other words, there is nothing to argue with the dead. Of course, this is the rhetoric on the stage.
Zhang Yingda was furious at first, but he still received the message secretly conveyed by Chang Xi. He glanced at the Jie family's nanny who was following the sedan and staring at him. Only then did he regain his sense and finally remembered that Chang Xi was
After marrying Zhao Po as her godmother, Chang Xi still has to return to Jie's house to continue living her life.
In ancient times, marriages were done as relatives, so it's no wonder that Chang Xi would openly defend Zhao Po, an old godly woman. As for the Jie family, the same was naturally true.
His outspoken words may bring her into trouble.
"I spoke too hastily, don't take it to heart."
At this time, he secretly glanced at the stern-faced Aunt Jie from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, the old servant woman didn't glare at him anymore. Although she didn't give him a good look either, there was a flash of sympathy in her eyes.
, obviously influenced by Chang's words just now.
It turns out that showing weakness can also be beneficial, and he gradually understands some principles of how to behave in the world.
Chang Xi's face softened a little when she heard Zhang Yingda's compensating words after calming down. "It's good if you understand." After a pause, "Of course, I can also understand your anger, but the key to your mother's misfortune remains.
In your father's case, he is the instigator. If he doesn't want to, it will be useless for anyone to instigate and pull strings."
Mrs. Zhao is hateful, but what is even more hateful is the man who pawned his wife off.
Zhang Yingda's father was like this, and so was Xu Dalang. When she thought of the culprit who killed her, her heart surged with murderous intent. Xu Dalang must not die a good death.
Zhang Yingda clenched the fist in his hand. He understood the truth behind Chang Xi's words, but that person was his father. He couldn't love her more, hated him more, so he could only vent all his hatred on Granny Zhao.
, it’s all because of this old godly woman that his family fell apart.
Chang Xi noticed his clenched fists and knew that such a half-grown boy would not be able to turn around in a short time. The word "filial piety" had a very important weight in ancient times, so it was no wonder that he could not accept the cruel truth.
She did not urge her, nor did she look at Zhang Yingda anymore, but continued to observe the changes in the street. At this time, the sedan walked into another street. There were no shops here, but urban civilians lived there. They were obviously about to arrive at the Xu family.
That alley is not far from Granny Zhao's home.
Not long after, she saw the grocery store owned by Mrs. Zhao. The door was closed and a white paper was posted on the door. None of the people who usually gathered in front of the grocery store were seen. Apparently everyone thought it was unlucky.
Willing to come again.
She sneered. It seemed that Mrs. Zhao's grocery store wouldn't be open for long. The Zhao family, who had no income, might be able to use it. She silently thought about how to place this chess piece.
Zhang Yingda glanced at the white flags hanging in front of the door of Granny Zhao's house, and then slowly loosened his fists. He licked his dry lips, covered up the hatred in his eyes, and said softly, "You said so,
I don’t have to worry about it.” So, I won’t act impulsively.
Chang Xi, who was about to step out of the sedan chair, heard this low reply and then looked at Zhang Yingda. He could turn a corner so quickly. This Yingda was quite malleable.
As for whether Zhang Yingda has hatred in her heart, she doesn't care. If she wants to take revenge, she must have the strength.
"As long as you understand."
After hearing this, Zhang Yingda raised his head and looked at Chang Xi. As soon as he looked into her eyes, he instantly understood what she meant for him to understand.
Chang Xi naturally turned away and looked at the door of Granny Zhao's house, tears began to accumulate in her eyes, preparing for the big drama to start later.
The arrival of the Jie family's sedan chair had already attracted many neighbors to watch, and someone immediately recognized Chang Xi.
At first, she didn't dare to recognize her. After all, even though Chang Xi was wearing plain clothes, the material was not something ordinary people could afford, and the exquisite silver jewelry with shining silver on her head was not something ordinary people could afford.
Started.
Later, someone still boldly shouted out, "Are you the Chang family of the Xu family?"
Chang Xi looked at the person calling with tears in her eyes. This person was a talkative woman nearby. She had seen this person in Chang San'e's memory, so she responded, "Auntie, it's me."
The fat woman known as the aunt pushed away the crowd, looked at Chang Xi up and down with her small eyes, and said excitedly: "Ms. Chang, are you a popular drinker in the Jie family? My dear, how much are these clothes worth...
…”
Xiao Tao on the side saw this plump woman trying to reach out to touch Chang Xi's clothes, and immediately stretched out her hand to block it, "Don't touch our Lady Chang with your hands."
How could Chang Xi have been touched by this woman? She had already calmly taken two or three steps back.
"It won't break if I touch it." The plump woman muttered, but she did not dare to offend the servants of the Jie family. She restrained herself a lot this time, put away her jealousy, looked at Chang Xi curiously,
"By the way, Mrs. Chang, why are you back? Your mother-in-law is at home, do you want me to inform her..."
"My godmother is gone, I'm here to give her some incense." Chang Xi pretended to be a white flower and wiped away her tears, ignoring what she had told Mrs. Zhu.
When the people around heard this, they looked at each other in confusion at first. Because Zhao Po died suddenly and the neighbors thought it was unlucky, no one thought of offering incense to her family. However, they did not expect that Zhao Po had taken in a good daughter-in-law and even thought about giving her a gift.
When she offered incense, she immediately had to praise Chang Xi for her kindness and righteousness.
When Mrs. Zhao's son saw a sedan parked in front of his house, he quickly came out to check. He saw Chang Xi, who was dressed in wealth and wealth, preparing to enter the house surrounded by people. He smiled hurriedly and nodded and bowed, greeting her with a "girly" voice.
Chang Xi.
This girl was good-looking, and he had secretly tried to hook up with her before, but it was a pity that this woman didn't understand the charm, and he couldn't even touch it with his little hands. Later, my mother found out and warned him not to let him have any ideas about Chang. After all, rabbits don't eat from the side of the nest.
Damn it, if he doesn't get into trouble, the Zhao family will have to live in this area.
While Chang Xi pretended to be sad, she secretly looked at Granny Zhao's son. She vaguely remembered that his name was Zhao Da. He looked like a human being, but his temperament was arrogant. At first glance, he was not a good person. Also, he was not upright.
If the lower beam is crooked, what good son can Mrs. Zhao raise?
I vaguely remember that he also coveted the original person, but the original person was very simple and didn't see anything, otherwise he would not have come to Zhao Po's grocery store to kill time.
"Sister, you still have the kindness to remember my mother. Alas, my mother died miserably..." Zhao Da tried his best to squeeze out a few tears.
He didn't care about my mother's death. When he first persuaded me to keep the one hundred taels of silver for him, my mother refused to agree. She was always afraid that he would squander the money. For this reason, the mother and son had no less than a dozen quarrels.
round.
It's okay now, he was stabbed more than a dozen times by the thieves and died.
Even if he lost his life, in the end he couldn't save his one hundred taels of silver, which makes me feel very sad just thinking about it.
Chang Xi cried even more sadly. After persuading Zhao Dajie to accept her condolences, she asked, "Where is the godmother's death?"
The Zhao family is so big, and now they have arrived at the main hall. Not only do they not see the coffin, but there is not even a memorial tablet. This Zhao Da is really perfunctory about the death of his mother. I wonder what Mrs. Zhao will feel when she is in heaven.
Only then did Zhao Da remember that it was too hot to bury the body, and because my mother died suddenly, she couldn't be buried in the Zhao family's ancestral grave, so he found a random place to bury it yesterday, thinking that no one would come to the house.
He wanted to pay homage, so he didn’t even put up a memorial tablet.
"Here, here..." Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ou, rushed out holding the tablet, wiped it with her sleeve, and then placed it on the altar table aside.
After doing all this, she held Chang Xi's hand and cried, "Sister, my mother-in-law was wronged. She was talking about finding a day to go to Jie's house to see if you were doing well, but she didn't know that she was doing well in the end.
