Chapter 337 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take advantage
Unlike the absent-minded old lady Gu, Mrs. Liu vaguely guessed why Patriarch Gu asked Gu Wulang to call her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go to the ancestral hall in front.
After all, Mrs. Gu was walking in front of her. As a grandson, it was impossible for Gu Wulang not to see his grandmother and just call her, the second eldest daughter, to go ahead.
Come to think of it, the child's grandfather and the clan elders still think that her Liulang is able to make a small three yuan, and she, the mother, and Sanya, the daughter-in-law, have the greatest contribution.
Commend her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to enter the ancestral hall?
He really agreed to Huniu's previous joke. Before Liu Lang gets her mother back, why not let her and Sanya go into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of their Gu family?
The side hall of the Gu family ancestral hall.
As the head of the clan and the daughter-in-law of the clan, Wang Wang withdrew her gaze, turned her head and winked at Mrs. Liu and Zhou Banxia, and took the lead to lead the way.
Then, it got interesting.
Zhou Banxia met Gu Wenyu's sister-in-law, who she should call her third sister-in-law, and deliberately fell one step behind and wanted to walk behind her. How could this be done?
Old and young are in order.
If Ma Shan wasn't pregnant and shouldn't go to the main hall where the ancestors' shrines were placed, she would have stayed with Ma Shan, otherwise she would have taken herself too seriously.
——No, you have to go ahead.
——I am the third child of a couple, older than you.
That's amazing. Don't do anything like her sister-in-law, who is always occupying her. It's the courtesy of the elder sister-in-law.
Zhou Banxia still couldn't say it out loud, so he could only continue to talk dumbly with the other party.
Mrs. Gu Wang and Mrs. Liu each turned around and glanced at their daughters-in-law in a tacit understanding, and immediately asked their daughters-in-law to follow them in an orderly manner.
Zhou Banxia was secretly happy when he saw this, and followed the three of them to the main hall.
In the main hall, the old and young men of the Gu family have lined up in several rows in an orderly manner. No one said anything. With many ancestors and gods standing there, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
It's just that there are five more female dependents suddenly. Even if they are at the back, they will be out of place. She will not be able to see Xuanzi, who is at the front of the queue today.
It was said that she and her mother-in-law fell into the trap by asking her and her mother-in-law to give a stick of incense to their ancestors. It did not belong to the male members of the Gu family. The amount of red tape for the female family members was still beyond imagination.
She didn't even know how many sticks of incense she had placed on the many ancestral shrines enshrined by the Gu family and how many times she had kowtowed.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law was there, so I just followed the instructions.
After a long worship ceremony, it was already noon. Zhou Banxia followed Liu and exited the main hall. Zhou Banxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally leave the ancestral hall, but he didn't expect to be able to leave.
Why don't you go back to the side hall again?
It is said that I came in to see the Gu family's ancestral hall, but I don't know what it is like inside the Zhou family's ancestral hall. It shouldn't cost more than a hundred taels of silver to renovate it, right?
These unfilial descendants will try to deceive their ancestors. Except for the main hall and the side hall, which are blue brick houses, the rest of the buildings are all adobe houses.
Following Mrs. Liu into the side hall, Zhou Banxia saw that not only Ma Shan was still there, but Gu Erlang was also here with his second brother.
Ashamed.
Fortunately, she had mistakenly thought that Ma Shan must have gone outside to listen to the gossip. Even the father and son were not reliable and left her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law alone.
Come here and wait if you dare.
Looking at the elders sitting at the head of the clan, including the elders including Mr. Gu, Zhou Banxia thought they were discussing how much money to donate to repair the ancestral hall.
Wrong guess again.
After making mistakes in judgment again and again, Zhou Banxia was too lazy to use his brain again.
Just listen if you want, and you will hear a lot of fancy praises.
Who said that the old men here are not good at eloquence.
Listen.
People become better with age. Not to mention whether her mother-in-law would be praised for having a strong sense of family honor, her sister-in-law would be praised so much that she almost forgot that her real name was Ma, and she was so happy.
The old men are so good at indulging in ecstasy that it is impossible not to accept them.
Especially Mrs. Gu.
Mr. Gu is the uncle of the three brothers, Patriarch Gu, Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu.
This elder is considered to be the most senior one, but he often uses his old age as an excuse to rarely speak out in public, never thinking that his eloquence is not average.
The most, most important thing is that when you praise someone, you don’t have to be too heavy-handed, and you don’t have to talk too much. After you finish your compliments, you can immediately announce your dismissal and go to the banquet.
Those who didn't know better might mistakenly think that this senior man was a foodie, so he stood up and went out to have lunch immediately.
Of course, the banquet tables set up under the pergola outside the ancestral hall are not for the female relatives of the clan, but are still only for the old and young men of the Gu family to enjoy themselves.
This is very bad. Sooner or later this broken rule will be changed.
After leaving the ancestral hall and on her way home, Ma Shan quickly asked Zhou Banxia in a low voice while there was no one around, "Do you want to go to the ancestral hall opposite? Let me help you."
The so-called ancestral hall opposite is actually the ancestral hall of her natal family - the Zhou family.
Zhou Banxia was frightened.
Does she dare to go?
She finally managed to get through her uncle's ideological work last night, and yet she threw herself into a trap?
"I won't go." Zhou Banxia shook her head decisively. Don't look at the time. What if she is asked to kowtow in the ancestral hall again! “It’s so hot, I won’t join in the fun.”
Ma Shan suppressed a laugh and looked around. In front of her was her mother-in-law, who was walking slowly. It didn't matter if she heard her, "Aren't you worried that Dajiang can't handle it alone?"
"Don't worry." Zhou Banxia raised her chin, "My great-grandfather and my uncle are still here. It doesn't matter whether we go or not. But don't argue with me this time."
Ma Shan didn't react for a moment, "What are you fighting for?"
"Renovate the ancestral hall."
"I thought you were talking about something." Ma Shan patted Zhou Banxia's arm in confusion, "Go and talk to your elder brother, he has the final say between us."
"Impossible, Liu Lang and I have the final say." After saying this, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. Liu, who was walking in front of her two daughters-in-law, laughed out loud, "It's not hot. It would be nice to go home and chat slowly. It's sultry today, and it will definitely rain tomorrow."
Zhou Banxia and Ma Shan looked at each other when they heard this - well, it will be sunny tomorrow, and then the two sisters laughed sullenly.
"Laugh if you want to."
"Haha..." Ma Shan laughed, "Mom, did you say it was raining on purpose so that you could go to the city on a sunny day tomorrow and not be afraid of being hit by the rain?"
"Hey, my tiger girl is already thinking about my mother." Mrs. Liu reminded with a smile, "Look more at your feet. I wonder where the old lady is now."
Asked the right person.
Ask Sanya, Sanya definitely doesn’t know.
Taking a look at Sanya's confused look, Ma Shan couldn't help laughing and replied, "Nine times out of ten, I went to my aunt's house.
I heard that before we left the ancestral hall, the eldest uncle seemed to have gone back early, so the old aunt invited the old lady to her house to eat and rest for a while. ”
Ms. Liu didn't find it difficult to understand why Mr. Oda, who loved to join in the fun, could go home early.
To put it bluntly, even Gu Yangqing and the others, who run a big car shop in the city, have returned to the village. I wonder if the eldest uncle, father and son are really too busy to come back, or for some reason, the eldest uncle of the child has to show up anyway. .
But it's definitely impossible for the child's aunt to be sincerely happy for her children, Liu Lang and Wen Yu. It would be strange if she didn't curse her good Feng Shui for being robbed.
Rather, "Who do you listen to?"
