Early the next month, the guests left one after another.
Because Mrs. Ming was still ill and could not see her guests off, they asked her to "rest in peace". However, they did not tell her until noon when all the guests had disappeared.
Mrs. Ming felt a little ashamed at first, and said to Mrs. Xiao, who had been serving her in those days: "Next year will be really unlucky. Things have been going on since the beginning of summer, and even the Yamen were alarmed. No wonder they Please leave. When we get back to peace, we have to make amends to both families, lest we think we are deliberately neglecting them!"
Did Ms. Xiao know the whole story of seeing off the guests? She would not tell her mother-in-law at this moment, so she smiled and said, "You said so!"
Then in the morning, Mrs. Sheng sent people to inform everyone, and everyone gathered in the Forbidden Snow Hall to have dinner. When he had something to say after the meal, Mrs. Ming felt a "thump" in her heart and realized that something was right!
The old lady held on to the hope of being safe, and hurriedly ordered her confidants to quietly go to Shixiating to order some Shenglansi before dinner. But when it was time for dinner, Shenglansi knelt down with a "plop" as soon as she entered the door. He admitted his mistake with tears, saying that he was stupid and blind, so that he missed his first wife, who was from the wrong family and had a virtuous nature. Instead, he regarded ambitious women like Hong and Wu as treasures, causing unrest in the backyard of the second house. , even the relationship between himself and his wife's eldest son has become alienated, and he is really ashamed of himself.
Fortunately, he now knows that he was wrong, and plans to reconcile with Sheng Weide in the future, try to make up for that son, and then change his mind and live a good life.
At that time, people had almost arrived, and Mrs. Sheng suddenly came to the room. Sheng Lanci was waiting there alone.
Seeing that situation, the juniors just stood aside silently because they were not qualified to interrupt anyway. However, Mrs. Feng and Sheng Lanzi and his wife both frowned and looked at Mrs. Ming, who was holding a tea bowl. , sighing: "Why do I kowtow to him for my evil deed? How can he survive every day with his old bones, and how afraid of being hurt by me? On the contrary, my brothers, sisters-in-law, my nephews and nieces, they are very good." Those who were harmed by me! I am asking for forgiveness, so I should tell them!"
After hearing this, Sheng Lansi went to kowtow to Feng and the others one by one, apologizing repeatedly. Feng and the others were livid with anger. After avoiding them, they had to shut up: but if they said it was okay, they would obviously be beaten by Mrs. Ming. Yes; let’s just say he is right, he has knelt down to admit his mistake in front of so many juniors. Besides, he is not good. Not only does he appear stingy, but he is also easily taken advantage of by Mrs. Ming to make trouble.
Therefore, Mrs. Sheng was used as a shield: "They are just bad, but the key point is that my parents were very angry that time! Especially my father, I think that when my husband was in Hanlin Academy, my father had a serious illness, so Although he didn't come in at all, he was frightened when he heard his husband talk about the danger at that time! Although that happened nearly twenty years ago, his father Ruming's age cannot be compared with that of twenty years ago - It's been several days, and now I can barely get up, and my mother's complexion was not good at that time... How can I bear to ask us to be juniors?"
Feng's eyes were already red-rimmed before he finished speaking.
She was so tall, but Sheng Lanzi and his wife understood it. Sheng Lanzi sighed: "Sister-in-law is so wrong! The things my second brother has done over the years have affected the family. After all, we are all a family. How can we not support each other?" What? But the second brother is not that old anymore. Even if we brothers are too stupid to be brought up and cannot share the worries of our parents like the eldest brother, we should at least stop worrying about us and stop asking our parents to worry about us. Right? Now the second brother is apologizing to them, but there is no need to ask. The key is that when dad comes later, the second brother must obey dad and don't make dad angry again! "
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Ming, who was at the head, had already poured a cup of tea angrily and shouted angrily: "You bastard! I also know whether my second brother is of that age. He is standing in front of so many juniors." He kowtows to me to apologize, but instead of forgiving him magnanimously, I actually want to drive that brother out! How could he be angry with a rebellious son like me who doesn’t care about our brotherhood? "
When she shut up, the old lady glanced at Feng with hatred, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said, "I usually pretend to be virtuous, generous, brotherly, and cruel, but my true colors are revealed when things really happen! It's in vain that he thought I was a good person in the past, now think about it He is simply blind!"
Sheng Lanzi has always been the least conspicuous among the three brothers of the Sheng family - his father, Mrs. Sheng, is fond of the eldest son, and his mother, Mrs. Ming, naturally worries about the second eldest son. As for his youngest son, his parents are both negligent and can just follow the crowd all day long. Confinement period.
Fortunately, he doesn't have any ambitions. He agrees with his father and brother all day long, and occasionally gets scolded by his mother. He doesn't feel aggrieved, but is happy and relaxed.
Then my sister-in-law would be scolded for her help, and she would shrink her head and quickly become silent.
Even though he was a docile person, the old lady refused to let him go because of this. The old lady told Lance to kneel down as soon as he entered the door, in order to let the second room go out without asking, and if he didn't, she would scold the junior. If you vent your anger and ask for money to withdraw your troops now, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort
So the old lady gouged out her son's eyes and continued: "People say that a prodigal son can't exchange for gold when he returns home. No matter how good my brother is, it's just because he's a womanizer and he's made some mistakes! Just for that one thing, it's because the women outside are not upright. I have taken the initiative to seduce him a lot! I have never stolen or robbed, and it is not an insult to my ancestors, and if I change my mind and come to change my mind, I will not tolerate it?! I touch myself My conscience must be to eat Baqian!"
Seeing that everyone was listening silently, and although no one refuted, they were full of clear resistance. Mrs. Ming was disappointed and anxious. She gritted her teeth and simply looked at Feng, "Father, let me tell you, no. Isn’t that true?!”
She obviously didn't hesitate to break up with her eldest brother and ask for the second house!
Feng sneered in her heart, but her face showed sadness, and she shed tears before she said anything: "But what a good job they did, my parents don't need to worry like that at such an old age!" "
Mrs. Ming interrupted and said: "Just ask us brothers to live in harmony and unite together. What do they parents have to worry about?"
"What Mom said means that we are not united and harmonious." Mrs. Feng put her handkerchief on the corner of her eyes and said, "Since he came in, he didn't dare to say that everything was thoughtful, but he also tried his best to be a good person and do things. Now, I suddenly heard what my mother said. Is he... is he really... I'm so ashamed that I can't say!"
When it was over, without waiting for Mrs. Ming to say anything else, she started sobbing!
Mrs. Ming was so angry that her eyes were blurred, but the two brothers and sisters in the eldest house were holding Feng on one side and on the other, and they kept whispering persuasion. After receiving their advice, Feng cried endlessly. Apparently, Mrs. Sheng was Before arriving, she had planned to use this method to buy time.
Mr. Sheng, on the other hand, was very cruel to his eldest son, and he always gave face to his eldest daughter-in-law. Most of the time, the reason why he was so lenient was because of Sheng Lanci, his biological son. I suddenly knew that after the old man came, he saw Mrs. Feng crying or saw that Mrs. Feng had cried. How could he ask
Even if Feng doesn't add any fuel to the fire and reveals a little bit, the old man will get furious if he doesn't know what to do - even if he had a lot of room for maneuver, he'll have no room for maneuver!
In this way, the old lady's idea for Sheng Lansi not only failed to work, but actually stole the chicken but lost the rice!
The more the old lady thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned her eyes between Sheng Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao, and couldn't help blurting out: "I think back then, our family was excited to hold a banquet for our father's birthday. It turned out that Qiao Er and Wu'er were very happy. During the confinement period, in front of all the guests coming and going, something happened that deliberately framed my brother. What did our two wives say and do afterward?! Together with our own children, we knew that it was our brother's turn to blame. Are you so stingy that you don’t even have the stomach for it?!”
"Mom, haven't we already figured out that matter? It's because Dongren is not good and misunderstood the children's meaning!" Mrs. Xiao became anxious when she heard this. That matter caused a stir in Nanfeng County. I don’t know, the first house and the third house came to apologize and finally managed to escape. What does Mrs. Ming mean now? !
"Then Lance was led astray by those shady women?!" Mrs. Ming immediately said, "If the Ming Hong family and the Wu family are no longer around, he will marry him a governor later." What do we have to worry about? After decades of brotherhood, we are so cruel that we don’t even give him a chance?!"
Ms. Xiao was so stunned that her mother-in-law said it was easy!
I also don’t want to think about how Ao, who was the governor’s observant wife, left the Sheng family. Sheng Lansi could have taken care of it if he married a wife. Mr. Sheng, a person who is strict in raising his children, needs to be so angry that he falls ill on the bed. ? !
She was angry in her heart, and was begging for a rebuttal from Bungao Buqin when she suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice saying: "Mother Jian first said no, then she mentioned their poor mother who just disappeared. How about that?" Is their mother a nondescript person? No matter how bad his mother was, she couldn't have been carried into that home with three matchmakers and six certificates! "
- Fu Sheng Weirao, she sneered and raised her head, looking at Mrs. Ming who was in charge without any awe, "Besides, how old are the second sister and the seventh sister? How old will his father be next year? Grandma compares her grandchildren with her children. Don’t you feel guilty, ridiculous or unreasonable?!”
She suddenly stood up, which was much beyond everyone's expectations. Feng went to put down the handkerchief and shouted sternly: "Rao'er, I am really unreasonable! My mother was wrong when she was alive. My grandmother also called me 'Mother', even if she I just went, death is a big deal, but my grandmother is her elder after all, so what if I say a few words to her in anger? No matter how much I feel sorry for my mother, how can I not abide by the order of elders and younger ones?!"
Feng's words seemed to blame Sheng Weirao, but they concealed the meaning of protection: Even if Hong didn't know that the old lady was the daughter-in-law, life was important. Especially Hong's death, which was only a few years old. In front of her granddaughter, she said that her biological mother was not good and bad. Her biological daughter was the one who stood out for her deceased mother. Even if the order of birth and birth was ruined, people would still ask for it. Explain how unkind the old lady is as an elder!
"Evil girl!" Mrs. Ming was the first to explain her mistake, and was blocked by her eldest daughter-in-law again. Her face turned green and red, and she was speechless for a moment. However, Sheng Lance, who was kneeling in Didong, couldn't bear it anymore and crawled to the ground. When he got up, he begged to whip Sheng Weirao, and said with gritted teeth, "I heard that when the Hong family just died, I wished I could pay for her life! It can be seen that I have been thinking about killing my father for a day or two! I didn't succeed this time, and that time again It's my fault that my own father has murderous intentions, why don't I kill them all and never be satisfied?! I don't want to settle the score with me, I... "
While he was shutting up, he had already rushed to Sheng Weirao, slapped him high in the air, and begged Dong-Feng and Sheng Lanzi to give him a hard slap.
The children of the second wife simply stood together. When Sheng Weide saw this, he pulled his sister quickly and blocked the front. He said urgently: "My sister has no intention of doing this. Please calm down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lance Sheng slapped him hard on the face, causing him to tilt his head and spit out half of his bloody teeth!
Only then did Mrs. Ming stand up in shock: "Lance! I'll stop his legs!"
-That's not only because the old lady valued Sheng Weide's eldest grandson more than Sheng Weirao's disobedient granddaughter, but also because Mrs. Sheng came right away. If she saw Sheng Weirao being beaten, it could be said that she disrespected her grandmother and was punished. Is it natural? Now that Sheng Weide is injured, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire? !
"Mom, the kid is so happy!" But after beating his son, Sheng Lansi suddenly had an idea and was confused. Instead, he grabbed Sheng Weide by the lapel and misunderstood the old lady and said, "Dad, I want to make it clear that I want to divide the second room into two bedrooms." Going out, the big house and the third house are obviously not what they want! In that case, even if the child can be kept here, not only will they have to live a humble confinement life from now on, but anything will irritate them later. , if you can’t help it, just ask to bring up the old matter again and continue to sweep the child’s room out!”
His face was distorted, and he looked around the hall almost ferociously. He suddenly laughed ferociously and said, "Just leave!" Bu Nao, the children of his second wife are not allowed to stay, they all have to get out of that prosperous mansion for him! "
As he spoke, he kicked Sheng Weide hard. Sheng Weide's expression changed. Although he could barely stand, cold sweat broke out on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Sheng Lansi turned a blind eye and said happily, "It's okay to split it up! At least in the future, if he wants to vent his anger on his son, he doesn't need to worry about what his father and elder brother think; if he doesn't have money to spend, he can sell his daughter to get some money for gambling. Let’s try our luck... So mom, there’s no need to beg them anymore!”
"If we separate our families, we will separate our families. Who is afraid of whom?!"
Feng, Sheng Lanzi and his wife looked at him in disbelief and almost died of anger on the spot! ! !
Just then, footsteps were heard outside, and Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Lanci finally arrived.
