Chapter 86 A Household with Three Widowers
Chapter 86 Three widowers in one family
After the uncle and nephew returned home, they first visited Wang Sanlang and saw that he was able to go to the fields. They were relieved.
Wang Yun followed Wang Ge to the kitchen house like Little Tails.
Wang Shu heated up the dinner food that had been set aside for dinner, and Wang Ge and his second uncle squatted directly in front of the stove to eat.
The medicine cauldron was placed on the smallest stove. Wang Shu poured the herbs into it and added water to boil the medicine.
Wang Yun watched that there was no one in the courtyard, knelt down in front of his second uncle and his sister, and said: "Brother Zhu Cong was sent to live with the widower by Linshui Pavilion. He usually helps with cooking, warming quilts, and cleaning. As long as he takes good care of the widower,
That's fine, you don't need to do anything else. Mr. Qiu Dong from Linshui Pavilion personally sent Brother Zhu Cong there. Grandma Wei happened to see him and asked what happened. Mr. Qiu Dong said that it is too cold this winter.
Afraid that the widower would suffer from the cold, he specially hired half a labor force to take care of the widower and take care of his food. He didn't have to do heavy work of chopping firewood. The only exception was that Brother Zhu Cong was not allowed to return home before Ji Chun. Grandma Wei was extremely envious, tut tut... and chased him out.
Lord Qiu is so far away that he asked Brother Zhang Cai to go and keep company with Brother Zhu Cong."
Jia Guo coughed and came in. Wang Shu quickly concentrated on cooking the medicine while Wang Shu covered her mouth.
The old man first looked at the medicine in the cauldron, then sighed and said, "Sanlang is suffering from a heart disease. If he knows that he can go see the evil boy every day, the disease will be half cured."
Wang Erlang asked: "Then Ah Zhu...is he scared?"
"It's good to be scared!" Jia Gu was still angry and distressed. "If you don't scare him out, he won't know the seriousness of it. Your third brother's... that honest man can't control his son at all, so your father said
, let A Peng live in the main house from now on. By the way, you went to the countryside today, didn’t you see Huan Xiaolang?”
Wang Ge said: "No, the competition between rural soldiers should not be in the towns. By the way, aunt, there is a rare thing..."
Wang Erlang's face turned red, and he immediately stuffed the remaining half of the cake into Wang Ge's mouth: "Eat!" Eating can always block your mouth.
Wang Ge chewed the cake and said: "I met the Muxiang official in the countryside when I was taking the craftsman's examination...Second uncle, what are you doing?"
"Give me the cake."
"Mom, look at my second uncle!"
"Give me the cake."
The laughter of everyone made little Jia stop outside the house.
The corners of her mouth raised awkwardly, trying to laugh with them, but it was so difficult. She was worried about losing her hair all day long. When her uncle got sick, he thought that the Wang family could finally be like her, so he became worried. Unexpectedly, oh, unexpectedly, a courtyard
Here, there are still two ways of living.
As a family, shouldn’t we be sad even when we are sad, and laugh even when we are happy?
Wang Ge's voice came: "My second uncle's and I's bamboo slips will be delivered to the village in a few days. Mother, I have thought about it and will set off on the 20th. If the weather changes along the way, I and I will
Even if my second uncle stays in the post house for a few more days, he won't be able to delay his enrollment."
Little Jia specially passed through the door of the kitchen house, went into the utility room, scooped up some fish sauce and salted beans, and left out the door.
Jia Gu's face was sullen, as she could not scold the little Jia's rat thief in front of A Shu.
Wang Ge returned the remaining mouthful of cake to his second uncle, went to the utility room, and covered the lids of the pots and pots respectively. Xiao Jia took only a little and sent it back to her parents' house. In this way, the Jia family must be dissatisfied and think that
The in-laws' family treats the bride harshly and looks down upon the marriage's family.
Two days later, Wang Sanlang regained his complexion. He was afraid that his father would be angry, so he only went to the widower's house to see Wang Zhu every two days.
Wang Ge seized the time to make wooden rules and made many sharpened fire sticks, which can be used as pencils. Two months of intensive experience in making wooden rules made her draw straight lines, curves, one-foot distances, and small circles with perfect accuracy.
Once written, there is no need to revise. Even Wang Weng’s wood-planing skills and Wang Shu’s grasp of proportions and inches have improved.
As soon as the sun passed, Wang Ge packed his luggage. Rulers, square rulers, and wooden rules of each type were placed separately. The inside of the box and the space between the utensils were all padded with reeds to reduce collisions.
With these, the uncle and nephew's bamboo baskets were basically filled up. The bedding could only be placed on top, and then a layer of reed mats was added to protect against rain and snow.
Seventeenth day.
Tie Feng made a special trip to Wang's house and brought two baskets full of new year's goods, including winter wine, bacon, salted fish, coarse salt, rice, five-color beans, reed ropes, peach figures, and rattles. What made the children even more happy was that,
The donkey carrying the basket was first fostered in the Wang family. The little ox also mooed, as if he knew he had company.
On the day of the nineteenth.
When little Jia entered the utility room early in the morning, she saw that all the pots and jars were gone, and only grain bags were piled in the corner. She immediately burst into tears.
The cows and donkeys all brayed after her.
It was approaching the twelfth lunar month, and the old man was most afraid of crying. Except Wang Weng and Dalang, everyone else came out. Jia Gu couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Bride! What are you making trouble for? If you don't tell me clearly today, you will go home.
Well, if you want to cry, go back to the Jia family and cry, don't mourn my Wang family!"
Wang Erlang wanted to grab the bride and go back to the house. Little Jia shook his hand away and shouted: "Wang Erlang, don't touch me, you idiot! Just go home when you go home. Anyway, you all have the surname Wang, and I am the only one with a foreign surname, so I will
It’s your wish!”
As she walked away in a hurry, she raised her head and shouted: "The neighbors in the village are here to comment. How can a man be as wary of brides as he is of thieves? My Jia family is not as good as my uncle's family. I go to my house to ask for some salted beans, but every time I get nothing but
Dare you grab a handful..."
How could Erlang allow his family's scandal to be exposed? He grabbed her and pulled her back, trying to cover her mouth. Little Jia's backhand scratched her severely. Wang Erlang screamed in pain and let go, with blood on his face.
This grab was so hard that Jia Gu and others who were chasing after them were all frightened. Wang Ge rushed up and hugged his second uncle's waist. Wang He ran up to little Jia and was slapped.
Wang He was stunned.
Neighbors from the village had already gathered on the road, and little Jia shouted at the top of her voice: "The neighbors from the village are here to comment. Since I married into the Wang family, when have I ever scolded Wang Er outside? Have I ever said anything bad about disrespecting my uncle? But this family
Why, go behind my back and call me a rat thief! Rat thief! Just because I grabbed a handful of salted beans from my house a few days ago, I’m being treated as a rat thief!”
Wang Erlang: "Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Jia Gren: "Shut up! Bride, you, you..." The old man's eyes turned black with anger and he fell back. Wang He ran back quickly and supported the eldest mother with his sisters.
Wang Shu cried and tried to hold her breath.
Wang Weng had no choice but to go out of the courtyard. "When Erlang comes back, your wife is determined to leave and my Wang family will not stay. We don't need to argue with her. My neighbors! Don't listen to the wind and the rain. Who is right and who is wrong? This woman
You will know when you get home! Apeng, Hutou, there is no need to close the door. My Wang family has no fault, and I am not afraid of the reputation of three widowers in one family. Everyone, go back to your house!"
Little Jia was extremely angry and laughed: "Haha! You have seen it. There are three widowers in the same family, are you afraid that I will rely on Wang Er? Who cares? Who cares! Wang Er, if you are not a husband or a fool,
Go to the countryside to divorce me now. If you want to divorce me, it’s just a dream!”
Wang Erlang came out again: "Okay! Let's go now! I have troubled my neighbors to be my guarantee. Whoever reneges today will die without a burial place!"
"Yes! Whoever regrets it will die without a burial place!"
At this time, little Jia's mother came running. To everyone's surprise, the woman hit little Jia as soon as she came near. While beating her, she cried and asked: "What are you making a fuss about? You are making trouble so early in the morning."
What? My Jia family has lost all their face by you!"
Little Jia lost half of her hair and cried hoarsely: "Isn't it because I feel sorry for you and my father? I caught some salted beans and sent the salty sauce back, but my uncle, Wang Er, turned me into a rat thief, ugh..." She screamed again
He shouted: "This morning, the Wang family hid all the pots and urns containing sauce and salted beans! Who can guard against brides like this!"
Every time little Jia made an accusation, her mother wanted to cover her mouth and kept saying, "Stop talking," and "You must have been possessed," but there was no way to stop her. The old woman had no choice but to make trouble for the entire Jia family.
No longer able to live in the village, she took advantage of her daughter to take a breather and cried: "Your uncle asked Wang Peng to give the whole pot of meat sauce and salted beans to our family last night!"
Wangri: In the ancient calendar, the time of the full moon of each month was called "Wang". The first day of each month was called "Suo" and the last day was called "Hui".
Divorce: Divorce was already mentioned in the Jin Dynasty. This word is recorded in "Shishuo Xinyu Xianyuan".
