Separating from Mrs. Chen at the door of Lu Yi's house, Mrs. Tong pushed the door open and went in.
Seeing that she was covered in water stains, her hair was messy, and her clothes were torn in several places, Mu Siyu asked, "Did you fall?"
"Hey!" Mrs. Tong briefly said what happened just now. "If it weren't for me, Mother Chun Sheng wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. I just saw several claw marks on her face."
"Aunt Zhong's mouth is comparable to that of Mrs. Jiang. Sister-in-law Chen is not the only one who hates her in the village. It's not surprising." Mu Siyu said: "But she did this because she stood up for you. Mom, over there
I have some cold tofu skin, you can send them a copy."
Braised pork is always given as a gift. She is too embarrassed to give it, but the other party is too embarrassed to accept it. Cold tofu skin is a rare thing here. Even Jiang's Restaurant sells it very well. I think Chen and others can also enjoy it as a novelty.
Mrs. Tong filled a bowl of tofu skin and knocked on Lu Chunsheng's door.
Mrs. Chen's husband works in the city and her son is an apprentice. When the farming season is busy, she will go home for a few days to catch up on work. At other times, she looks for work in the city to make money to supplement the family income. There are only Mr. Chen and her sister-in-law Lu Zhenzhen at home.
"Here we come." Lu Zhenzhen opened the door.
Seeing Ms. Tong, she smiled and said, "Aunt Tong, come in and sit down."
"No." Ms. Tong was restrained. "This is the tofu skin made by our family. You can just eat it as it is. It's quite filling. It's not a rare thing, so don't dislike it."
"Oh, Sister Yu's craftsmanship is so good. I'm almost dying of greed. Why would I dislike it?" Lu Zhenzhen's eyes widened. "But my sister-in-law said, I'm almost ashamed of taking your things, so I can't accept them anymore."
"We are neighbors! I want you to try something new. It's nothing. You take it in first and I'll wait for you here." She wanted to take the bowl back.
Lu Zhenzhen is also a straightforward girl. Seeing what Tong said, she agreed: "Okay! Auntie, please wait here for a moment."
After Mrs. Chen changed her clothes and came out, she saw Lu Zhenzhen coming in with another bowl of something. Mrs. Tong stood at the door and glared at Lu Zhenzhen angrily.
Lu Zhenzhen stuck out his tongue and slipped into the kitchen playfully.
"Auntie, please tell Miss Shaoyu not to give us anything. She has raised that girl more and more. How can she get married like this?" Mrs. Chen said helplessly.
"It's not something rare. If you really ask her to bring out something rare, she won't be able to part with it! Don't take it to heart." Tong said, "I really hurt you just now. Are you injured?"
"It's okay. A few scratches are nothing. I thought I was scratched by a cat." Ms. Chen didn't take it to heart.
Lu Zhenzhen took out the washed empty bowl.
"Auntie, thank you!" Lu Zhenzhen said sweetly.
"You're welcome. I'll go back then."
Mrs. Tong walked to the next door, and Mrs. Chen's voice came from behind, complaining about Lu Zhenzhen: "You, you, how can you say good things to you? It's not easy for Lu Yi's family. They ask you not to always accept their things. Why don't you listen?"
"Sister Yu's craftsmanship is so good, why don't you accept it?" Lu Zhenzhen said: "If you feel really sorry, I will go and tell Sister Yu later that from now on, give me her clothes and I will help her wash them."
Cough! Cough! A violent coughing sound came.
Ms. Tong stopped in confusion and looked in the direction of the sound. When she saw the person standing there, she frowned and turned around stiffly.
"Han'er Niang." A hoarse voice sounded.
Mrs. Tong kept walking.
"Daughter-in-law." The man's voice was trembling, as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.
Tong finally stopped.
She didn't look back, she just said calmly: "What are you doing here?"
"I...I came to see you." Mu Dashan said sadly: "I am sick and feel very uncomfortable. If you were here, you would have gone up the mountain to dig herbs for me. The herbs you dug were very useful in the past. I took two of them."
Just once. Wife, I know I was wrong. You are the only one in that family who really cares about me. My mother-in-law... was reluctant to spend even a penny to treat me."
"These have nothing to do with me." Mrs. Tong lowered her eyes. "I'm not your wife, you don't need to tell me these things."
No matter how soft-hearted Mr. Tong is, he still hates Mu Dashan.
After being married for many years, she had endured for him for so many years, and was finally abandoned by him ruthlessly.
She was burned at that time and almost died.
Does he understand what he is giving up?
"Daughter-in-law..." Plop!
Mu Dashan knelt down.
"I can not live without you."
Without her, he wouldn't even be able to eat something warm.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law have gone to the city, and the third brother has been in the city. The eldest brother Yi has been studying in a private school in the city since he was seven years old. He and the Jiang family are the only ones left in the family.
Mr. Jiang cursed him every day for being useless, scolding him for being slow at work, and scolding him for not knowing how to help with housework after he was busy outside. He was like a slave in the family, he was wanted inside and out, and everything was in his ears every day.
It's a curse.
Mrs. Tong was in tears and her steps were too heavy to take that step.
"Mother." Mu Zhenghan came over carrying firewood. "Why don't you go in?"
As he said that, he glanced at Mu Dashan lightly, his eyes indifferent.
Mu Dashan's face turned red with embarrassment when his own son saw him in such a mess.
"me……"
"Mom, you have a son." Mu Zhenghan looked at her. "Your son will be very filial to you, will not bully you, and will not let you be wronged. You also have a daughter, and your daughter and son-in-law are very filial to you.
so……"
What do you want a man for?
Do you think your life is too long?
Creak! The door opens.
Lu Shaoyu looked at the two of them: "Mom, it took you a long time to come in? The food she cooked is almost cold."
"Right away." Tong wiped her tears. "Come right now."
Mu Zhenghan glanced at the shocked Mu Dashan, gave Tong a gentle push, and took her into the yard.
Bang! The door closes.
Mu Dashan swayed and fell down.
Mrs. Tong opened her mouth and looked at Mu Zhenghan nervously: "Han'er, mother..."
"Mom, you choose your own man or son." Mu Zhenghan looked at her: "If you don't want a son, you can forgive him. It doesn't matter, I will just pretend that I have lost my father and my mother."
"No, no, mother will not leave you." Mrs. Tong felt a bucket of ice water pouring down on her, and her whole body shivered.
Mu Siyu had long heard the noise outside, and seeing Tong being suppressed by Mu Zhenghan, she secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Mu Zhenghan pursed his lips and smiled.
The Lu Yi brothers did not express their opinions. In their opinion, even upright officials could not deal with such household matters, let alone outsiders like them. Let Tong think about it himself!
"Da Shan... Brother Dashan... come here, Dashan has fainted." The villagers found Mu Dashan unconscious and shouted for help.
After shouting for a long time, none of the nearby families seemed to hear him, so they had to carry him back to the Jiang family.
"You've done evil, you really look like the 'gu family melon' in the drama."
