713: not pleasing to the eye
At around nine o'clock, Zhou Hongmei led her son and daughter-in-law to the Tao family.
Originally, Xu Zhou planned to ride a bicycle to take them with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Her wife sat in front and her mother sat in the back. Unfortunately, her mother disagreed. Xu Zhou had no choice but to hold her wife with the things in one hand and follow her mother to rush to the Tao family.
Fortunately, the road leading to Xiaotao Village in front was planted with tall poplar trees on both sides, and the lush branches and leaves cast a thick layer of shadow so that they did not have to face the sunshine.
"Why don't you take a ready-made bicycle?" After walking for a while, even without having to face the sunshine, Xu Zhou's forehead was already sweating, and then he asked his mother with a puzzled look on his face.
"Didn't I ask you to ride a bicycle and take Baoxiu with me?" Zhou Hongmei was angry.
"Can we ride our bikes by ourselves and leave you alone?" Xu Zhou said with his eyes rolling.
Zhou Hongmei was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just didn't want to ride the bike he rode? Because she fell down by Xu Jianguo, the reason why she stopped riding a bicycle from now on was naturally impossible. If she said it, she must ask, when was it going to happen? Is it serious? Why don't you tell us something or something?
What a big deal, Zhou Hongmei doesn't want to do it as if the sky has collapsed.
"You'll be there after a while!" Du Baoxiu said, holding a veil to help him wipe the sweat from his face, and said in a low voice.
The Tao family is indeed not far from the Xu family, and it only takes more than ten or twenty minutes to ride a bicycle. After walking for a while, they have already reached the junction of Xiaotao Village and Taoyuan Village. Well, it is also the flour mill of Cui Laoer's family.
Even before, when they got here, they were disturbed by the rumbling sounds. All they heard was the sound of women cursing.
Xu Zhou frowned and looked at the cursing woman standing next to the bridge. This person is Cui Lu's second aunt? Is the person she scolded... Cui Lu?
Zhou Hongmei obviously noticed this scene, and her reaction was to snort coldly.
"What's going on?" Xu Zhou reached out and poked his mother, asking with confusion. Cui Lu didn't know where he was going. What was this woman scolding here? Before leaving, Cui Lu stole her money?
"Bah!" After hearing his son's guess, Zhou Hongmei spat very bluntly, "If you don't have enough food, where can you get the money for someone to steal?"
Because of Cui Lu's incident, Zhou Hongmei had no favoritism for this woman and was not polite at all.
"Then why did she scold Cui Lu?" Xu Zhou asked with a frown.
"What else can I do? Can anyone else make her scold so easily?" Zhou Hongmei said, not happy to look under the bridge.
Xu Zhou: “…”
"She said Cui Lu harmed people!" Du Baoxiu, who was beside him, said in a low voice.
"Bah!" Zhou Hongmei turned into an angry young man, and scolded him whatever others said, "I'm mean, I've left the person with a mean face, and I still have the face to blame others?"
"Mom, you talk well, what's going on?" Xu Zhou poked Zhou Hongmei. If something was going to divert attention, the high temperature seemed to be less difficult.
"What else can happen?"
It turned out that after Cui Lu disappeared, the story of how Aunt Cui treated Cui Lu was spread all of a sudden. Everyone thought that Aunt Cui was unauthorized. Don’t give a penny to you to work in a flour processing factory. What’s wrong with you stuttering? It’s not the time when I couldn’t eat in the past. Now it’s hard to say anything else, it’s okay to have enough food, right? Don’t say how good you give your children to eat and how good you wear, at least you’re giving them full.
But what about Aunt Cui? The food for the puppies at home is more abundant than that for Cui Lu! Others don’t know about this, but the people from their village must know about it. This is a story that spreads through ten thousand times. Everyone says that the child Cui Lu can’t stand the abuse of this Aunt Cui, so he left.
Such character is naturally unfavorable. Everyone would rather take a detour than go to her house to process flour. In addition, a flour processing factory is also opened in the east of Taoyuan Village, so even fewer people come to her house to process flour!
Now, probably few people are coming!
Otherwise, she could sit here and curse? She used to be busy, but now she can only leave the machine empty and wait for it to rust. Are you anxious?
"Oh, the people around us are quite righteous!" Xu Zhou sighed.
"That's it!" Zhou Hongmei said. Which of the few people who grow greenhouses in their families is not very caring for Cui Lu? This relative, even if he is not a legitimate relative, shouldn't treat a child like this. It would be fine if he eats and drinks for free at your house. How capable are they!
"His second uncle has never been in charge?" Xu Zhou asked. He remembered that before Cui Ming was arrested, this second uncle was quite taking care of Cui Lu! When Cui Ming was arrested, why did the second uncle's attitude change?
"How can he manage?" Zhou Hongmei said, "He can manage for two days a day, and he can still manage every day? Can he keep fighting with his wife for Cui Lu?"
At the beginning, Uncle Cui might really want to take care of this nephew, but as time goes by, how much of the maintenance left before is there?
Uncle Cui is indifferent and Aunt Cui is cursing every day. How many people can bear it?
Xu Zhou sighed. If he had known that the child had this idea, he would have taken him away!
Zhou Hongmei didn't agree with it after hearing this.
"Don't think that their family is like Cui Lu. It's not that easy to really lead Cui Lu!" Zhou Hongmei said.
"Hmm?" Xu Zhou raised his eyebrows, not understanding what was difficult.
"Cui Lu is at her house, and that's a free labor force. Can she let you take it away easily? If you really take someone away, why would you blame you!"
Zhou Hongmei said, "Is there anything else to say?" There are so many relatives in their family and those in the village. How many people want to go to Nancheng with him? If he takes Cui Lu, even those relatives, even those in the village will have to make a fuss!
After hearing this, Xu Zhou just laughed it off. Who he wants to take away? He can't decide what he wants?
The family kept walking through the flour processing factory, and after walking for another ten minutes, they arrived at Xu Yuetaoyong's residence. As soon as they arrived, their second brother-in-law, who was riding a bicycle, also brought Xu Yan with them.
"Oh, we called you so many times from behind, but no one heard it!" Xu Yan looked at her mother and younger sister-in-law and said helplessly.
Zhou Hongmei and others: "..." I didn't hear it yet!
The group didn't say much, and waited for my second brother-in-law to park the car and walked into the house together.
This is the second time Xu Zhou and Du Baoxiu have come to this place, and Xu Yan and her second brother-in-law have come to this place for the second time. The first time was when Xu Yue had just given birth. Although Xu Yan didn't like this sister, she couldn't leave anything she should have. On the third day after giving birth, Xu Yan and her second brother-in-law sent two chickens over. Zhou Hongmei had been here many times. Tao Wu was here. When she saw them coming, she immediately welcomed them enthusiastically.
Tao Yong was busy setting the table. When he saw them, he hurriedly came over with a smile.
Everything is enough for a son. These days, Tao Yong’s smile has never dissipated. Everyone is smiling when they see him, and crow’s feet are almost smiling at the corners of his eyes.
"Mom! Second sister! Second brother-in-law! Xuzhou, brother-in-law!" Tao Yong looked at the few people and greeted him with a smile.
Several people have a good impression of Tao Yong, especially his second brother-in-law, who has made great changes to Tao Yong. After all, during the busy farming period, his eldest brother-in-law, who has always worked with him in the Xu family, abandoned him. Now the person who is in the same boat with him has become Tao Yong. Sharing together with his worries is the easiest to cultivate feelings. Now, he and Tao Yong are already as close as brother-in-law. Even if his eldest brother-in-law comes back, he will have to be in the back row.
"How are you preparing?" Zhou Hongmei asked.
"It's almost done!" Tao Yong replied with a smile. Today, except for his father, everyone else came to help! The one who was in charge was an aunt from the village who specially organized a banquet for others to cook. Now he has come here to be busy and will not miss the time. "Xu Yue and the child are in the house, you can sit in the house!"
Tao Yong's child is called Tao Wenbo. He specially asked his second brother-in-law to help him. Tao Yong felt that it was very good, at least he was much better than Haitao and Haibo Guoxing. Wenbo will definitely be able to get into college like his uncle and uncle in the future and become a college student.
Zhou Hongmei and Xu Yan and Du Baoxiu entered the house together. Xu Zhou handed the bag to Du Baoxiu, and stayed outside with his second brother-in-law to help.
Soon, Xu Zhou noticed a gaze that was not very friendly fell on him. Xu Zhou looked up and looked over the feeling. He saw Tao Yong's younger brother, the man named Tao Dawu!
Xu Zhou still has some impression of this person. He has been thrown twice by him. Well, he has been bitten by two of their dogs. No wonder he dislikes him!
Xu Zhou smiled, not caring it to heart, and wanted to tell him very much, just like you who can't stand me and can't get rid of me.
Chapter completed!
