Tie Kui Extra Story (28)

Pumpkins, winter melons, and soybeans were packed into a big bag, and then a bag of Chinese cabbage was also packed.

Looking at the half-ox cart, Tie Kui said with a smile: "Second sister, it's also fortunate that you are recruiting a son-in-law instead of marrying into someone else's house. Otherwise, you can send this big bag to your mother's family, and you won't be caught by your in-law's family." People hate death."

"There are plenty of these things at home, and they are not worth much." After finishing speaking, Chun Ni said, "I don't know why some people like to live in the city so much. Like my eldest sister in the county town, it costs money to buy a handful of green onions." Even if the eldest brother-in-law There are four taels of silver wages per month, and life is not well off.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Eldest sister, I'm going to buy you a house in the county. In this way, if you are older, you can have a place to live when you go to study in the county."

Even if Tie Kui didn't say anything, Chun Ni was going to send Fat Dun to school when she was five years old. Only after reading the book can we have a good future in the future.

Chun Ni said: "You save all the money for yourself and marry a wife in the future. Fatty has me and your brother-in-law! Kuizi, if you bought the house without my consent, I wouldn't want it either." It was given by Tie Kui, so how can you be so greedy for his money.

Tie Kui knew Chun Ni's temperament, so he did what he said: "I must buy the house, but I don't buy it for you, I buy it for myself. If you don't live, you can rent it out first. When the fat man goes to the county to study, he will live at home. .”

Chunni refused straight away: "You don't need to buy it, we will buy a house in the county seat when Fat Dun studies." They have also saved a lot of money in the past two years, so it is no problem to buy a smaller house.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "That's fine too." It's actually better to live on your own and not rely on him.

At the door of Chunxiang's house, I heard an old woman standing at the door and swearing loudly.

Duan Dongzi saw the woman and said to Tie Kui, "This is the eldest brother-in-law's mother."

In fact, Tie Kui knew who this old woman was without him having to say it. When Chunxiang got married, he sent her to Shao's house, and naturally met Shao's mother.

At the gate of Chunxiang's house, Tie Kui dismounted, ignoring Shao's mother who was standing at the gate, and vigorously patted the gate.

Seeing Tie Kui's viciousness and the knife on his waist, Shao's mother thought it was someone from Shao Li's criminal government who came to arrest him, so she ran away.

After Shao's mother ran away, Tie Kui stopped knocking on the door, but said to Duan Xiaodong: "Eldest sister and the others are not at home, you wait here and I will go to the pharmacy to find elder brother-in-law." In fact, he had already guessed that Chunxiang was not there. Otherwise, with his eldest sister's temperament, even if she hated Shao's mother, she wouldn't keep the door closed.

I found out when I got to the pharmacy.

Today is the birthday party of the grandson of the pharmacist doctor, and Shao Lili and Chunxiang took their three children to the wedding banquet.

Let Zhong Shantong go back and tell Duan Xiaodong, while he went to the market to buy things. First I went to the bookstore to buy a few enlightenment books, and then I went to buy some cloth.

When Zhong Shantong found him, Tie Kui's horse had already loaded several packages.

Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "My lord, I didn't know that you like shopping so much." In Tongcheng, Tie Kui often bought medicinal materials to make wound medicine. However, this wound medicine is not a free gift, but sold.

Although it's just hard-earned money, it can't stand the large amount needed. So in the past few years, Tie Kui has also accumulated a sum of money.

After shopping, Tie Kui asked Duan Dongzi to eat at the restaurant. After dinner, Tie Kui asked Zhong Shantong to go back with his things first, while he and Duan Dongzi went to Shao's house.

Counting the time, the two of them should go home.

Shao Lili and Chunxiang didn't know Tie Kui was here until they got home. Chunxiang complained a little: "I told you to go to the wedding banquet alone, but you want me to take the children with you."

Shao Lili was also very helpless: "I didn't know Brother Kui would come." If he knew that Tie Kui would come, he would also be waiting at home instead of going to the wedding.

The couple were talking when they heard a knock on the door. Hearing the familiar voice, Chunxiang hurriedly ran to open the door.

"Brother..." called out, and Chunxiang couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Seeing this, Tie Kui laughed and said, "Sister, I came to see you on purpose, which made you cry. Next time, I won't dare to come."

Chunxiang hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Shao Lili said: "Brother-in-law, Brother Kui, it's cold outside, hurry up and get warm inside."

The house was lit with charcoal fire, which was much warmer than outside. After sitting down, Chunxiang asked, "Brother, will you not leave when you come back this time?"

Tie Kui felt a little sad when he heard this. Even though he was in this position, his family still didn't want him to go back to the barracks: "This time I came back to visit relatives, and I will return to the army in half a month at most."

Hearing this, the tears that were finally suppressed fell down again. Chunxiang wiped away her tears and choked with sobs, "Brother, we have been thinking about you every day these past few years, and we just look forward to your return home."

This brother-in-law has a good future now, how could he come back. Shao Lili hurriedly opened the door and said, "Chunxiang, go see if the water is boiling, and bring a cup of hot water for brother-in-law and Kuizi."

Chunxiang nodded, opened the curtain and went out.

Shao Lili smiled and said: "Your sister is such a worry-loving person, don't take it to heart."

"I didn't take it to heart. But elder brother-in-law, you promised me that day that you would never let anyone bully my sister. I also trusted you before marrying elder sister to you. What happened? You let me down." Said When he said this, Tie Kui's expression was not good.

Shao Lili's face was a little stiff: "Brother Kui, how do you say this?" He asked himself that he didn't treat Chunxiang at all badly.

Tie Kui didn't say anything, he just kept his face sullen.

Seeing Shao Lili looking at him, Duan Dongzi said: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law and I came to see your mother swearing at the gate just now, and the swearing was very ugly."

Only then did Tie Kui speak: "If I'm not mistaken, this is definitely not the first time. Big brother-in-law, is this what you said not to let anyone bully my sister?" This anyone includes not only Shao's father and Shao's mother, It also includes Shao Lili himself.

"Those swear words are unbearable. If it wasn't because it was your mother, I would have cut it with a knife."

Shao Lili's face turned blue and purple.

Tie Kui said with a cold face: "If you can't protect my eldest sister, let her take the child back to her mother's house. Our Tie family does not lack the food of their mother and child."

After speaking, Tie Kui got up and left.

Chunxiang poured the water, and as soon as he brought it to the yard, he saw Tie Kui walking out of it: "Kuizi, why do you have to leave?"

Tie Kui nodded, and said: "It's getting late, if you don't go back, you won't be able to get home before dark. At that time, Dad and Second Sister should worry."

Chunxiang hummed and said, "Then you go back earlier, in two days I'll take Goudan and them back."

After the couple entered the house, Chunxiang asked, "What's the matter? Did you upset Kuizi?" Even if you were in a hurry, it was impossible for her to leave before her butt was hot, unless her husband said something unpleasant.

Shao Lili smiled bitterly and said, "When Brother Kui came over, he happened to meet my mother scolding people at the door. He got angry with me because of this, saying that I made you feel wronged."

Chunxiang had had enough of Shao's mother, and said, "Sir, even if I can bear it, the children can't bear it." Since last year, Shao's mother has been clamoring for Shao Lili to take care of him. As for the previous agreement that Shao Lili would not be required to provide for the elderly, Shao's mother refused to accept it at all.

Shao Lili is not soft-tempered, so he is naturally unwilling to pay for Shao's mother. In the beginning, it was just them going home to make trouble. At the beginning of the year, after Shao Lili changed the house, Shao's mother went to the county to make trouble. Shao Lili didn't let go, he came to make trouble every once in a while.

Neighbors on the left and right knew about this. Some said that Shao's mother was unreasonable, and some said that Shao Lili should support his parents as a child. Anyway, Chunxiang had a bad year.

"I'll take a day off in the future, and I'll send your mothers back to their natal homes first, and then back to Dazhang Village." If this matter is not resolved, his brother-in-law's temperament may really turn his back.

Tie Kui arrived home with Duan Xiaodong, and when he entered the door, Chunni complained: "I said, what are you doing with so many things? It's a waste of money."

After speaking, Chunni also angered Duan Xiaodong, saying that he should stop Tie Kui from letting him be so lavish.

Duan Xiaodong was dumbfounded by the scolding.

Tie Kui laughed and said, "Brother-in-law was waiting for eldest sister-in-law and them at the door of eldest sister's house. I bought the things on the street alone. After I finished shopping, I asked Ah Tong to bring them back. My brother-in-law didn't know about it at all."

Chun Ni said with a dark face: "You are still laughing, so many things cost twenty or thirty taels of silver. With such a loose hand, how can you save money. In the future, what will you use to marry a wife?"

"I save all the money to marry a daughter-in-law!" I won't marry a daughter-in-law within three to five years, so why save money in such a hurry.

While eating, Chunni knew that Shao's mother had gone to the county again to make trouble, so she couldn't help cursing: "The old godly woman, when the family was separated, it was agreed that the eldest brother and husband would not divide the family property, and they would not have to support them in the future. As a result, now Living with the youngest son is difficult, and she is making a fuss to ask her elder brother-in-law to support her. If not, she will go to the Yamen to sue her elder brother-in-law for being unfilial."

Tie Kui said: "I've already told Shao Lili that if he doesn't solve this problem, I will let my eldest sister go back to her mother's house. When the matter is resolved, I will let my eldest sister go back."

Chunxiang hesitated a little: "Brother-in-law is still very good to elder sister." Even if Shao's mother is shameless, she never scolded Shao Lili for anything bad. Because Shao Lili treats Chunxiang really well.

"Elder sister makes that old shrew point her nose and scold her every day, is that good?" No matter how good Shao Lili treats his elder sister, her life is miserable. Moreover, people have been accused of making irresponsible remarks

Tie Hu made a firm decision on the matter: "This matter is up to you, Kui Zi." He believes that his son can solve this matter well.

Two days later, Chunxiang came back with the child. No one in the Tie family mentioned this, so as not to worry Chunxiang.

Tie Kui sent Shao Lili out of the village, and said, "If the matter of the Shao family is not resolved, let the eldest sister live in the family. It will save you from being angry every day when you go back."

Shao Lili didn't have the guts to refute.

Because he delivered a message home in advance, his father and elder brother were both at home when they arrived at Dazhangshu.

Sitting on the stool, Shao Lili said: "The day before yesterday, Dr. Li's grandson held a birthday party, and our family went to have a wedding. Mother went to knock on the door and no one answered. She thought it was Chunxiang who didn't open the door on purpose, so she scolded for a long time at the door. It happened to me My brother-in-law came back to visit us and saw her swearing at Chunxiang with foul language. My brother-in-law told me today that if I wronged Chunxiang again, I would let her stay in the Tie family with Goudan. Their mothers eat at one bite."

Shao's father put down the pipe and said, "My Shao family's children can't be raised by the Tie family." If they are raised by the Tie family, they will become children of the Tie family.

Shao Lili said: "Father, Chunxiang and I have saved forty taels of silver in the past five years, and borrowed twenty taels of silver from my sister-in-law to change to the current house. Now we not only have to support a family, but also I need to save money to pay off my debts. Dad, I really don’t have the ability to support you and mother right now.”

Shao's father said: "I don't need you to support me. But your mother, she is really living a hard life now."

After Shao Lili's resignation and family separation, Shao's father was not at ease with Shao's sister-in-law anymore. Half of the money he earns is given to his eldest son, and the other half is saved by himself. Don't wait until you get old and can't move, and your daughter-in-law is unfilial, and it will be so ineffective every day. Therefore, it is safest to hold money in your hand.

Shao Lili said: "Father, mother only has the third child in her heart. Unless I am willing to support the elderly and the third family, she will not be satisfied with what I do."

"What do you want?"

Shao Lili said: "As long as the mother doesn't live with the third child and lives alone, then I will give her fifty catties of grain and two hundred coins every month." In the countryside, vegetables can be grown by themselves and chickens can be raised by themselves. Fifty catties of grain and two hundred Wen are enough to feed Shao's mother.

Brother Shao smiled wryly, "Mother won't agree."

Shao Lili said: "If she doesn't agree, I won't pay any money. I'm living in poverty, so it doesn't make sense to take money out to support the San family."

Shao's father smoked and smoked until the cigarette in the pipe was washed out, and then he said: "Your mother, let me tell."

The old couple talked in the room for a long time, and finally Shao's mother's eyes were red and swollen.

After coming out, Shao's father said to Brother Shao: "Go and call the young couple, I have something to say."

When Shao Lixing and Pang came over, Shao's father said the result of the negotiation between the two: "Your mother and I will not live with you, we will live together." Although Shao's mother has done a lot of excessive things, but in the end husband and wife for so many years. He also couldn't bear to see Shao's mother can't eat enough now, and she fell ill and lay on the bed with no one to take care of her.

Mrs. Shao disagreed: "Father, how can this work? It was agreed that you will follow us, and mother will follow the third child." Shao's father can not only do carpentry to make money, but also work in the fields. And he just immerses himself in work and never cares about other things. In the past few years, he has given Dafang a lot of help.

Shao Lixing couldn't wait for it, and immediately refuted Mrs. Shao: "It is said that couples come less often and accompany each other. Father and mother are getting older, and they have a better life." He was fed up with the daily noise at home, and hoped that Shao Mom doesn't live with them.

Father Shao didn't even look at Shao Lixing, and said, "Your mother and I are too old to do heavy work. From now on, the three of you will give us two hundred catties of grain and one tael of silver every year. If you are sick, see a doctor The three of you will share the cost equally."

Under Shao's father's decision, the matter was settled.

After Tie Kui saw that Shao Lili had settled the matter, he let him pick up Chunxiang and go back.

Chunni asked with some concern: "Kuizi, is this useful?" It didn't feel useful.

Tie Kui shook his head and said: "This is already very good. After all, that person is the mother of the eldest brother-in-law, and has the grace of giving birth. It is impossible to abandon it and not support it." Outsiders don't care whether you have a share of the family property or not. They would accuse Shao Lili of being unfilial when they saw Shao's mother suffering from insufficient food and clothing.

"If I had known it earlier, I should have asked my elder sister to marry him that day." This was completely out of anger, and Chunxiang's heart was on Shao Lili. Let her marry someone else, and she will not be happy.

Tie Kui said: "If Eldest Sister is wronged like this again in the future, you will take Eldest Sister back to live for a while."

Chuni nodded.
