After coming out of the uncle's house, as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly saw Zhang Eryong waiting for her at the gate of the uncle's house, with a big burden on his back, looking like a traveler!
Shen Ruolan said in surprise, "Why are you back? Why are you here?"
Zhang Eryong smiled innocently and said, "There is a bill due at home, and it happens that the money we earned this month is enough to pay the bill. I will pay the bill when I come back, and I will come to see you by the way. I went to your house just now, and the thin girl said you Here, I'll come and wait for you."
As soon as the account was mentioned, Shen Ruolan immediately thought of what his old mother came to do that day, and her good mood disappeared immediately. She glanced at him and said lightly, "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we go home."
"Why!"
Zhang Eryong agreed, followed her obediently, and walked to Shen Ruolan's house together.
On the way, Zhang Eryong asked Shen Ruolan several questions, such as: "What are those sheds you made in the garden? Your house has been built for a few days..."
Shen Ruolan answered one by one, but didn't say anything else.
In fact, Zhang Eryong still has a lot of things he wants to say to Shen Ruolan. He hasn't seen her for more than a month. He misses her so much, misses her frowns and smiles, and misses her crispy calling him "Brother Er Yong." Take her little hand...
But, for some reason, he always felt that Ruolan treated him lightly, as if angry, and didn't even call him 'Brother Er Yong', which made him feel very worried and a little scared.
Did she do something to make Ruolan unhappy? Why did she ignore him
When I got home, Shouya was sitting on the kang playing Geba!
It is to take apart the rags they wore before, align the rags one by one, stick them on the panel, and stick them to a certain thickness, and then peel them off after the paste dries. It's done.
Geba is used to make shoe soles. You can draw shoe prints on the leather, cut them out, and cut out a few more, and stack them together with hemp rope to make them dense. It is the legendary thousand-layer bottom.
Thin girl is very frugal, afraid of wasting lamp oil, she usually goes to bed early at this time, but today because she has to wait for Shen Ruolan, she can't sleep, and she feels that the lamp oil is useless, so she made some paste , Sitting under the lamp to beat Geba, waiting while beating, but instead of Shen Ruolan, Zhang Eryong waited.
Zhang Eryong was a polite person, seeing that Shouya was alone at home, he was afraid of gossip, so he went out and waited in order to avoid suspicion.
After Shen Ruolan took Zhang Eryong home, the thin girl hurriedly got off the ground and said, "I'm going to the toilet, you guys can chat."
After speaking, he went out and gave up his home to them.
Zhang Eryong untied his burden, sat down on the edge of the kang, secretly glanced at Shen Ruolan, saw that her face was still calm, with a lukewarm expression, and felt even more anxious.
"Ruolan, what's wrong with you?"
He couldn't help asking, "Why do you seem to be angry?"
Shen Ruolan looked at him, and said calmly: "Your mother and your sister came over a few days ago."
Zhang Eryong was dumbfounded when he heard it.
He knows what his old lady is like, she is selfish and greedy for money and unreasonable, she will definitely not have good things when she comes to Ruolan!
Sure enough, Shen Ruolan continued: "Your mother came to me to borrow money, but you also saw that I built a shed and a house, and I really had no money to lend her. Your mother got angry and called me Repay her the money you bought me for those things before, and asked me to return the fox fur you gave me to her, but those things were all taken from you. If I want to pay back, I will also pay you back, not her. "
"You don't have to pay it back. I gave it to you. You don't have to worry about my mother." Zhang Eryong blushed when he heard that his mother came to Ruolan to borrow money and asked Ruolan to return those things. She feels ashamed of her behavior and feels guilty towards Ruolan.
"Ruolan, you are right for not returning her. From now on, she will take care of what you want and you don't have to give her. If you want to be filial to me, let her come to me for what she wants."
Shen Ruolan said coolly: "She won't come to me again, she has already divorced me and the two of you, she retired in this room that day, and almost beat me, if it wasn't for Aunt Xie and the others who rushed over in time , your mother and your sister probably smacked me."
Hearing this, Zhang Eryong's head buzzed, as if blood rushed to the top of his head, his mind went blank for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Ruolan, Lan'er, our marriage was decided by my father and your father. My father has the final say in my family, and my mother's words don't count. Don't take it seriously. I will not withdraw the marriage." , will never retreat... "
His face was flushed, and he was so anxious that he was a little incoherent. Shen Ruolan glanced at him, and from the anxious eyes, he could see his pain and tension.
Shen Ruolan couldn't bear it anymore, sighed, and said: "Er Yong, you are really embarrassing me now, I don't know what to do with you, I am engaged to you because I think I can live a leisurely and comfortable life by marrying you in the future But seeing your mother’s behavior now, I already have a premonition of what it will be like when I marry you. It must be a wild and restless life. Anyway, it won’t stop anyway. That’s not what I want Life, I really think it's time to think about whether we should go on."
Zhang Eryong's face turned pale, and he was too scared to speak by her words.
"And your sister, do you know what she did?"
Mentioning Zhang Jinfeng, Shen Ruolan frowned, and the disgust in her eyes could not be hidden: "Your sister stole a set of clothes from me, which are made of floral cloth that you bought for me. Originally, I wanted to Save it for you to wear when you come back, now it’s all right, let her wear it for you to see.”
"Ruolan, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Zhang Eryong stood up, his forehead was sweating, and he said hastily: "I'll go back right away, I will explain to them clearly, and I will never let them If they come to disturb you again, don't worry, Zhang Eryong is not someone who can't stand things, and he won't let you be wronged with me."
Afraid that she would say anything else, Zhang Eryong hurriedly got up and walked out, as if fleeing.
Before reaching the door, Shen Ruolan called to stop him: "Wait a minute."
Zhang Eryong paused, turned around, and looked at her nervously, lest she make that terrible request.
Seeing his panicked look, Shen Ruolan couldn't bear it anymore, and said slowly: "What are you in a hurry, I forgot to take the package."
After being reminded by her, Zhang Eryong remembered his package. His face blushed slightly, and he walked over to pick up the package on Kang Yan'er. After a pause, he put the package down again, opened it, and took it from inside. He took out a letter of snacks and put it beside Shen Ruolan.
"This is Shen Ji's lotus root flour osmanthus cake, the most famous dessert in Jizhou, you should try it."
As he spoke, he took out a patched purse from his pocket, and poured out all the money in it, including copper plates and silver, about two taels or so.
"Ruolan, I saved all this money, you can keep it and spend it. In the future, you will spend all the money I earn."
He stretched out his hand to her, and in the palm of his hand lay a few pieces of broken silver quietly.
Shen Ruolan looked at his big callused hands, and guessed that he must have endured a lot of hardships and hardships in Jizhou for more than a month, how could he bear to ask him for such a little money
"I still have money here, you can keep the flowers for yourself." She didn't take the few coins.
But Zhang Eryong stubbornly put the silver beside her, looked into her eyes, and said solemnly, "Take it, Ruolan, the family is building a house and a shed now, and there are many places to spend money. Although the money is not much, it can be of some help anyway, I will work hard to earn more money in the future, I will let you live a better life, and I will not make you wronged again, you believe me!"
Seeing his sincere and persistent appearance, Shen Ruolan couldn't bear to blame him anymore. She picked up the few pieces of silver that still had his body temperature, and even couldn't help exhorting: "Although making money is important, you must Take care of your body, you see it's only been a month, and you've lost weight."
Zhang Eryong saw that Shen Ruolan no longer mentioned the matter of divorce, and told him to take care of his body, almost moved to tears, "Ruolan, don't worry, my body is stiff, by the way, I'll come over tomorrow to cover you up." house."
Having said that, the conflict between the two was resolved, and Zhang Eryong also heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that it was getting late, he reluctantly left with his pack on his back.
I haven't seen each other for more than a month. I originally wanted to talk to Ruolan, but I was disturbed by my mother and sister. Not only did I fail to kiss Fangze, but I was almost divorced. Zhang Eryong felt annoyed and angry One can imagine!
Thinking about what they did, Zhang Eryong became even more annoyed.
Riding on the moonlight, he went back to Taohua Village, and when he heard a knock on the door, Mrs. Cui, who was teasing her grandson on the kang, called out to Zhang Jinfeng, "Jinfeng, go open the door and see who is coming." gone?"
Zhang Jinfeng glanced sideways at the back room and shouted: "Sister-in-law, someone is here, why don't you open the door?"
Zhang Dayong's daughter-in-law said unhurriedly: "I'm going to shit on your nephew, or if you come and shit on the child, I'll do it?"
When Zhang Jinfeng thought of the stinky poop, disgust appeared on his face, forget it, let's go open the door, opening the door is better than messing with children's shit.
"Emma, the second brother is back!"
After Zhang Jinfeng opened the door and saw the people standing outside, he screamed and then shouted loudly.
"What's the matter? What are you shouting so loudly? Who's here?" Cui heard Zhang Jinfeng's cry from the room, and hurriedly shouted to the outside.
"Mom, it's my second brother who's back." This time, Zhang Jinfeng shouted louder.
This time, the family felt like a temple was blown up. Mrs. Li, who was shitting on the child, Mrs. Cui, who was teasing her grandson, and Zhang Sanyong, who was studying in the house, all ran out of the house.
"Second brother, come into the house quickly, I'll take the package for you." Zhang Jinfeng stepped forward diligently to take the package in Zhang Eryong's hand. Ever since she saw the second brother come back, her eyes had never left the second brother's package, and Zhang Eryong's eyes never left Zhang Jinfeng's short, thin, floral dress that was tightly bound around his body.
"Hey, Er Yong, why are you back? Where are your father and your eldest brother? How much money have you earned during this time? Where is the money?" Cui ran out, but she didn't look at her son when she went out, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Eryong The package brought back is on.
Zhang Dayong's daughter-in-law also asked, "Where's your elder brother? How is he? Why didn't he come back?"
Zhang Eryong said indifferently: "My father told me to come back and pay the debt. My elder brother and my father are still in Jizhou."
"Oh, how much money have you made over the past month? How much can you pay back this time? How much did you get back? Did you get it all back?" Cui asked in a repeated voice, her eyes burning.
Zhang Sanyong said: "Mother, let's go back to the house and talk, my second brother must be tired after walking so far."
Only now did Cui remember that the whole family was blocking the door.
"Hey, okay, let's go to the house and talk, let others listen for nothing." Cui was afraid that others would hear about their family's money, so she hurriedly lowered her voice, beckoned her son to go back to the house, turned around, and did not hesitate. He snatched the package from the little girl's hand.
So, Zhang Eryong followed a large family and entered the house.
"Er Yong, how much money did you get back? Tell mother quickly, how are you doing over there? How much money did you earn?" Before sitting back on the kang, Cui couldn't wait to speak.
Zhang Eryong looked at his old lady who kept talking about the money, didn't even notice that his son had lost weight, and didn't ask him how he was doing there, he felt blocked for a while, and he said in a muffled voice: "I'm Take back sixty-four taels, and take back all the money we have earned for more than a month. There are more people in Jizhou and the business is good. In another month, the famine in our family will be fully repaid, and we will not be short of money. Mom, don't ask Ruolan to borrow money from now on."
