Mu Zhenghan carried the firewood into the kitchen and said to Mrs. Tong who was drying clothes: "Mom, my brother-in-law is back, and I asked us to go to her place for dinner at noon."
"Lu Yi is back?" Tong said happily: "That's great, your sister is not alone at last."
"Since when has my sister been alone? Aren't Shaoyu and Yuner here?" Mu Zhenghan didn't understand what Tong meant.
"You are still young. You will know when you grow up." Mrs. Tong smiled. "Women still need a man who knows both coldness and warmth. With a man, at least he has a backbone."
"Oh." Mu Zhenghan really didn't understand Tong's thoughts.
In his opinion, his sister is having a very happy life these days. She can do whatever she wants every day and earn a lot of money. According to his observation, his sister has earned two taels of silver in the past few days.
When it comes to making money, he gets ten cents a day, or dozens of cents. His damn dozens of cents don't count.
By the way, sister told him yesterday...
"Mom, where's the salary my sister gave you?" Mu Zhenghan asked casually.
"Keep it!" Mrs. Tong said in a low voice: "Your sister said that wealth should not be revealed, so I hid it. What's wrong? Do you want to use it?"
"Then give it to me and I'll put it away together." Mu Zhenghan looked at Tong and touched his nose: "It's easy to lose your hand here and there. Besides, I'm good at arithmetic, so you can take care of me.
Money!"
Tong didn't care. Mu Zhenghan was her support for the rest of her life. If she didn't trust him, who else would she trust? Besides, in her mind, if her son really needed it, her money would be his, just give it to him.
Mu Zhenghan got dozens of coins from the Tong family and deliberately found a place to hide their money. After searching for a long time, he finally found a secret place to ensure that the Tong family could not find it.
"Mysterious." Tong muttered.
Mu Zhenghan sighed softly: "If it weren't for your soft ears, would I be such a bad person? Sister said, I have to keep an eye on the money at home, otherwise it might disappear at any time."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Tong didn't hear.
"Nothing." Mu Zhenghan picked up the empty bucket. "I'll fetch water."
"Then I'll go to your sister's place to help you later." Tong said, "After you pick up the water, go to your sister's place."
There hasn't been much work in the fields lately, so besides cleaning up the house, Tong helps Mu Siyu with some things. In the morning, she usually helps braised pork, and in the afternoon, if there's nothing else to do, she also helps out.
I just found two mushrooms at the foot of the mountain, and I just brought them to my daughter to add to her dish.
Mrs. Tong carried the basket and walked towards Lu Yi's house.
"Han'er Niang..."
When Mrs. Tong saw Mrs. Zhong, she smiled: "Aunt Zhong."
As he spoke, his feet quickened, wishing he could grow a pair of wings and fly away from there.
I had never seen this Zhong before when I was the wife of the Mu family. If she and her mother-in-law had sex, the whole ground would shake.
"Oh, why are you running so fast? I won't eat you." Zhong said angrily.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tong couldn't speed up her pace anymore, so she had to slow down.
"No, it's just something urgent."
"What's the emergency?"
"Yu Yatou asked me to go over and help."
Tong instinctively lifted Mu Siyu out.
Perhaps she subconsciously believed that Mu Siyu's intimidation in the village was enough to relieve her of some trouble.
But she obviously underestimated the other party's face. What's more, Mu Siyu's recent actions were very mysterious. Originally, she was getting close to her just for Mu Siyu's sake, but now she took the initiative to bring it up, just to divert the topic.
"What is Girl Yu busy with recently?" asked Zhong.
"It's nothing."
"What do you mean it's nothing? Several carriages came to see her, and they brought something with them. And she cooks meat at home every day, and the whole village is hungry, okay? Is it nothing?"
"I don't know either." Yu Yatou said not to talk about her affairs outside. If people ask, she just doesn't know.
"Mother Han'er, it's boring for you to be like this. I am your elder after all! When your elders ask you something, you are prevaricating like this." Mrs. Zhong was displeased. "Your daughter won't do anything shameful, right?"
"I said Aunt Zhong, you are really the Kitchen Lord sweeping the yard and meddling in other people's business!" Aunt Chen, who was carrying water, laughed and said: "Have you swept your own floor clean? Why are you always inquiring about other people's affairs? I haven't seen Aunt Tong.
Don’t you want to say it?”
"What the hell are you doing? I want you to get involved." Mrs. Zhong scolded: "I see your man hasn't come back for a long time. Is your butt itchy? Do you want me to give you something to poke you in?"
Sister-in-law Chen's face turned red, she threw away the bucket in her hand and said angrily: "You damn old woman, your mouth is specially used to spray feces. Is it because you have eaten too much feces?"
"Who do you think eats shit?" Mrs. Zhong strode over. "I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Let's see whose mouth is torn apart!!!" Sister-in-law Chen showed no sign of weakness and started fighting with Mrs. Zhong.
Tong was frightened and quickly pulled the two away. However, you pushed me and the situation became more and more out of control.
"What is this for?"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. Your clothes are torn, why are you so shameless?"
After being persuaded by the villagers, the two finally separated in embarrassment. However, both of them were extremely embarrassed, staring at each other as if they wanted to eat each other.
Mrs. Tong also received several scratches. Looking at the basket she was carrying was thrown to the ground, and the two mushrooms were trampled to pieces, she felt as if she felt distressed.
What's all this?
"Okay, okay, let's disperse." The older woman dispersed the crowd. "Did everyone get thunder? They exploded at every turn!"
Mrs. Tong helped Mrs. Chen up and said, "Let's go!"
Mrs. Chen's clothes were torn and the water in the bucket was spilled all over the floor.
She curled her lips and glared at Mrs. Zhong: "You damn old woman, others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. If you keep spitting shit out of your mouth, see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
"Come on! Let's see who rips off whose mouth!" Mrs. Zhong was not to be outdone.
The woman who had just stopped the fight said to Ms. Tong: "Take Chun Sheng Niang away. She is so old, she gets angry easily."
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me." Tong felt guilty.
"What does it have to do with you?" Mrs. Chen said, "I have wanted to do this for a long time."
Mrs. Zhong has offended many people, and Mrs. Chen is the one who hates her the most. To say the reason, it is nothing more than trivial things.
However, it was these trivial things that made Mr. Chen hate Mr. Zhong. This is why he would take action whenever he disagreed.
If it were an ordinary woman, looking at Ms. Zhong as an elder, she would tolerate it even if she hated her. But Mrs. Chen would not let it go, not even to her death. She wished she could tear that old woman to pieces.
Mrs. Tong picked up the basket.
Mrs. Chen calmed down and took another load of water to carry away.
Both of them were going in the same direction, walking together.
"Are you still angry?" Mrs. Tong persuaded Mrs. Chen. "That's Aunt Zhong's temper. There's no need to be angry with her."
"Auntie, you know that if it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have lost a child." Mrs. Chen's eyes turned red. "I hated her when I saw her and wanted to kill her, so I couldn't control myself. This has nothing to do with you.
Even if it doesn't have anything to do with you, I still want to tear her apart."
