Zhang Yuying did not hesitate. She turned around and walked into Jiao Niang's room. She wrapped the mother and daughter's belongings in a sheet, carried them out and threw them into the alley.
Today, with his cousin's guards present, he was not afraid of being beaten by his elder brother, so he simply carried his elder brother Zhang Yukun's things out of the house and threw them together with Jiao Niang and her daughter's things.
This time, more and more residents gathered to watch.
Someone asked what happened, and the person who knew the inside story told the whole story, and finally said: "How shameless! They are so young and they are determined to go to the theater. No wonder Madam Jiang kicked them out of the house."
Another person laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? That girl's mother was a secret agent. She got pregnant with a child from some unknown man. Her husband didn't get angry when he saw that it was a girl. He wanted to raise her to make money. So, her family has always preferred girls to boys."
"Yes, yes! I also know how cruel Jiao Niang was to her son. Poor boy, if it weren't for the kindness of Madam Jiang who took him in, he would have been tortured to death."
Everyone was talking at once, but no one dared to mention Yingbao.
After a while, Zhang Yuying and her husband drove Zhang Yukun and his wife and their children out of the house.
While the princess's cousin was still there, the two men stood at the door and accused Zhang Yukun and Jiao Niang.
"It's not that my husband and I are cruel. This house originally belonged to my husband. We took them in with good intentions, but ended up taking in a bunch of ungrateful wolves."
Yuying's wife, Li, said to her neighbors, "Today I have no choice. My princess cousin came to visit us, but the concubine and her daughter kept making trouble. They knelt at the door and stopped my cousin from leaving. They wanted my cousin to take her to enjoy life. Please judge for yourself. Are there such shameless mothers and daughters?"
"I'm going to make this clear today. From now on, Zhang Yukun and the concubine and her daughter will have their own way with my family. If they dare to set foot in my house, I, Li Guixiang, will chop them to pieces with a knife!"
Since the relationship had been broken off, Li Guixiang might as well go all out. Even if it would make her mother-in-law lose face, she would never give in.
At this time, Yingbao and her aunt and second aunt had already left, and Jiang Yunniang also returned to her room, her heart as calm as water.
Her eldest son was not close to her, and her daughter-in-law treated her like an enemy. Even the children born to her eldest son and his wife did not respect her as a grandmother.
Even though they had lived together for such a long time, the two children never took the initiative to call her grandmother. Instead, they treated the concubine's family as their own relatives.
The reason why she didn't set up a stall was because the two children often went to the stall to ask her for money, and made all kinds of trouble if she didn't give them. Even if they were scolded by her eldest nephew Jiang Cheng, they would just smile and run away, as if they were just naughty children, but they would still make trouble the next time.
So Jiang Yunniang stayed at home in anger.
Today, the second daughter-in-law finally drove them out, and Jiang Yunniang felt a lot more relieved.
"Mother." Xiao Lang came in with a plate of cakes in his hand: "I see you didn't eat much today, this is sent by my aunt and the others, please try it."
Jiang Yunniang glanced at Xiaolang, sighed, picked up a piece of cake and said, "Xiaolang, you should stay in the specialty shop for a few days to avoid being bullied by your aunt."
The pretty girl would never give up after being kicked out of the house, and the young man would definitely become her punching bag.
It would be better to let Xiaolang go to his eldest cousin's place for shelter and come back in a few days.
Xiaolang nodded, put the cakes on the table, and walked out.
He went to his room, packed some clothes and some shoes and socks, tied them up with a bag, and quietly left the yard.
I stood in front of the specialty shop for a while, then walked into the yard.
He also has a room here, which is fully equipped with everything, including clothes, all of which were bought by his eldest cousin.
The young man put his bag in the cupboard, sat down at the table, and picked up a book to read.
In fact, he would rather stay here, where it is quiet and warm.
If only, if only that person could disappear, or if I could leave this place and stay away from her, then I wouldn't be blackmailed and harassed by her in the name of her own mother.
Inside Jiang’s house, several children were playing hide-and-seek together.
Only Wuyang was sitting on the kang, clapping his hands and looking around.
When he saw someone being found, he laughed uncontrollably and tried hard to get off the kang.
An Rou watched him closely, and when she saw him crawling to the edge of the kang without any harm, she put him back to his original place.
When Yingbao came in, Wuyang's eyes lit up and he opened his little arms to ask for a hug.
Yingbao picked him up and asked Anrou, "Are the kids not making trouble together?"
"No, I'm fine and very well behaved." An Rou replied.
Yingbao nodded, carried Wuyang out of the house, stood under the eaves and looked into the yard.
The weather is not very good, it looks like it's going to snow.
Wei Zhan and his father-in-law went on horseback to patrol outside the city early in the morning and have not returned yet.
Chunniang and her two sisters-in-law were talking in the room, discussing how to celebrate the Little New Year on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, in addition to welcoming the God of Wealth, people also have to drive away the five poor, open the market, eat dumplings, sweep the house, and worship their ancestors.
The five kinds of poverty are poverty of wisdom, poverty of learning, poverty of literature, poverty of fate and poverty of friendship. These must be swept away with a broom on the fifth day of the New Year to welcome the God of Wealth into the house.
It is said that wealth leads to the east, west, south, north and center. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, not only do the elders in the family not go out, but the women in the family also do not visit other families.
Moreover, people are not allowed to cook with raw rice at home, and they are not allowed to use needlework. Women are not allowed to go out to pay New Year's greetings, otherwise they will be disliked and considered to bring bad luck to their family.
Chunniang said, "Why not bring your parents here? Our place is big and it's lively with more people. If all else fails, there are still empty rooms over there that can accommodate people."
Mrs. Jiang: "Okay, I'll go back and tell my parents."
Yan Ru also nodded: "Just follow what my third brother's wife says."
...
After the fifth day of the New Year, Old Man Jiang and his wife returned to their hometown with their eldest son and his wife. Dani and her husband Zhang Shaodong also returned to Chuanhe Town with their children. They said that they still raised chickens, ducks and pigs at home, and although they asked the neighbors to take care of them, they could not always trouble them.
Erni didn't go back, she wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with Yingbao.
Jiang Erlang and his wife didn't go back either. Yan Ru finally came to the county town, and she wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time in the county town, visit her aunt, talk to her, and wish her father a happy new year.
Yan Ru's stepmother was now much more polite to her and even personally invited Yan Ru and her family to have dinner with her.
However, she repeatedly suggested at the dinner table that Jiang Erlang find a job for her son, and even said that it would be fine for him to work in the Princess's Mansion.
Yan Ru was almost laughing out of anger. After the meal, she didn't stay long and left with her husband and children.
As they walked along the road, Yan Ru said to her husband, "Don't agree to anything from them in the future. Her son is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and now he is dreaming of plotting against our family."
Jiang Erlang: "I'm not stupid. Can I just agree to anything?"
"That's good." Yan Ru pulled her daughter and said as they walked, "Hu Zi said before that we should take care of our family affairs and move to the capital. We should live in the house of our third brother for the time being and move in after his house is repaired."
Jiang Erlang said nothing.
In fact, he didn't really want to go to the capital.
First, he was unfamiliar with the place, and second, he had nothing to do after arriving there, which was the most fatal thing.
But it seems that I can't not go either. Hu Zi is already old and someone must take care of his marriage.
