220: Digging a Pit
"Haha... I will definitely satisfy you!" Xuzhou said after hearing the second aunt's words. Unconsciously, the Xu family's yard was already full of people, of course, they were all those with good or decent relationships.
It also has something to do with it. For example, Ma Yuzhen next door completely forgot about the fact that she cursed at the scholars in the yard yesterday. She blew up the mohua in the morning and saw the villagers coming to the Xu family one after another, she knew what they were doing.
In fact, she had already prepared the red paper, but she was not embarrassed to be the first to come. She thought that she would wait for too many people and then go over and squeeze into the crowd, so she would not be so conspicuous.
Can the Xu family not see her? Zhou Hongmei saw her when she stepped into the gate of her yard. If it weren't for the New Year or the neighbors, she would have blown the people out long ago.
Lin Baoxiu also saw her. She didn't like this person and didn't want to worry about pretending to be harmonious with her. Fortunately, there were many people in the family, so Lin Baoxiu just came to any aunt and didn't have to greet her.
No one greeted him, and Ma Yuzhen didn't care. She said a few words to the person on the left, and said a few words to the person on the right, squeezed himself in the middle, and took advantage of the situation. After the other person wrote it, he spread his own red paper on the table in front of Xuzhou.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou didn't say anything, but just looked at him and smiled like nothing.
Ma Yuzhen was so angry that he opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw that Xu Zhou had lowered her head, she closed her mouth honestly again. No matter what, just write it.
She couldn't understand what Xu Zhou wrote. She was afraid that Xu Zhou would use tricks to harm her family, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear that Xu Zhou would annoy her family and no one would help her. With this intent, she went out with the couplet written by Xu Zhou.
"Hey hey hey, Uncle Qin, you can read, please help me see what Xuzhou wrote for my family?"
"Have you read it to you?" Xu Qinlao, who was stopped by Ma Yuzhen, couldn't help but ask in confusion when she heard her request. However, before Ma Yuzhen answered, Xu Qinlao said again, "Maybe I think you can't understand it even if you say it to you. Don't worry, what Xu Zhou wrote is good. Some people have ink in their belly, so they won't write it badly for you!"
Xu Qinlao was also one of the people who asked Xu Zhou to help write couplets. His family had finished writing a long time ago and had been staying in the Xu family until now. He just wanted to hear what Xu Zhou said. The words said by these cultural people were better than they said, let alone those couplets they wrote. They were either wealth or peace, and they were happy just by listening.
Xu Qinlao waved his hand and signaled that Ma Yuzhen didn't need to read it at all. Besides, even if she read it herself, she couldn't remember it. Xu Qinlao said and was about to leave.
"No!" Ma Yuzhen stopped the person again, and said in a very serious tone, "I am different from you. Don't I live close to their family? There are benefits and disadvantages when living close to them. I won't talk about the benefits. This is a disadvantage, it is easy to have conflicts. You said, if Xuzhou holds a grudge against the conflict between our two families and writes me some messy things, how can our family live next year?"
"..." Xu Qinlao was speechless when he heard her worries, and his eyes were hard to describe.
You said that since you don’t trust others, don’t ask for help?
If Zhou Hongmei's bad tempered woman did this, it would be strange if she didn't tear the couplet.
It’s such a coincidence that he will do whatever he wants. Although Xu Qinlao was speechless, he still wanted to prove to Xu Zhou that scholars are not that small.
He reached out and took the couplet in Ma Yuzhen's hand and read it aloud: "Happy place is prosperous for thousands of years, and blessings will shine all the best in the family. This couple is great. If you don't like it, I'll exchange the one from our family for you!"
Xu Qinlao said, and he was about to take out his own dry couplet. When Ma Yuzhen heard that it was OK, how could he be willing?
He reached out to get the couplet in Xu Qinlao's hand, but another hand was one step faster than her? He took the couplet in Xu Qinlao's hand. Xu Qinlao was stunned for a moment, looked back subconsciously, and saw Zhou Hongmei, who was expressionless, and his heart skipped a beat. Xu Qinlao thought, it's bad now.
It was broken. They both spoke seriously. They didn't know how long Zhou Hongmei had been standing here, and they didn't know if Ma Yuzhen's words were heard.
Although Xu Qinlao felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help but be embarrassed for Ma Yuzhen. This person didn't even think about his mind when he talked and did things. If Zhou Hongmei heard it, could she let her go today?
Only then will there be a ghost!
Zhou Hongmei took the couplet and walked back expressionlessly. Well, she originally wanted to tear it off directly, but later she thought that this was written by her son with great effort, so why did she tear it off?
So, I took it away directly.
"Hey hey... sister-in-law, what are you doing? That's my couplet!" Ma Yuzhen saw Zheng Hongmei taking her couplet and left, and hurriedly followed behind and chased after him.
Seeing this, Xu Qinlao wanted to pull the person back.
"Forget it, don't want it, there's no need to quarrel!"
"Why don't you want it? That's the red paper I bought! Why do I want her to be cheap? I don't want it? What do we post on the door of our house tomorrow? I'm standing and talking without feeling the pain!" Ma Yuzhen said to Xu Qinlao with her eyes rolled and said to her, then she walked over to the Xu family's yard.
Xu Qinlao: "..." In the end, he stood up and spoke without complaining about his back pain! Okay, go, go, I want to see what good fruits you can eat?
The person who originally planned to go home was not in a hurry, and walked back to the Xu family with his hands behind his back.
Over there, Ma Yuzhen has already caught up with Zhou Hongmei and is about to have a couplet with Zhou Hongmei.
Of course, Zhou Hongmei would not give her, but explained to Lin Baoxiu, who came out to see the situation, and asked Lin Baoxiu to go to the set of red paper in the house as soon as possible.
"I don't want red paper, I want our couplets!" Ma Yuzhen knew what Zhou Hongmei wanted to do at once, and said anxiously. "What's wrong with you? Don't I just ask your son to write a couplet for our family? Do you need such a face? Do you don't want us to come to your house to ask Xuzhou for help!"
Xu Qinlao, who had just entered the door, happened to hear the words behind him, and staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, he held the door frame in time to barely stabilize his body. He had a new understanding of Ma Yuzhen in his heart.
This person is also completely stupid. If she apologized to Zhou Hongmei and admitted that she was petty, she would not be able to get the couplet back.
Now, not only do you not think about whether you are wrong, but you dig a pit for Zhou Hongmei. If you are really smart, you can dig a good pit, but you are capable, but what's the use of digging a pit that anyone can see?
