Chapter 5893 Tan’s Secret Weapon
Tan’s words hit the mark every word, leaving Yang Huazhong speechless and speechless.
After being silent for a while, Yang Huazhong tentatively asked Tan for advice: "Mom, please give your son a clear message. My father has been deliberately ignored by us, so we should wait and see. Does it work?”
Tan picked up the needle and thread again, pushed it into the sole plate, penetrated it and pulled it out. Come on, slowly utter out a few words: "Look at it first. I am sincerely sorry, but not like this now. Is it sincere or perfunctory? I can hide it from you, but I can't escape my blind eyes."
Yang Huazhong nodded, "Okay, it's all up to my mother to make the decision. My son will go out first."
"Come back." Tan called him again.
Yang Huazhong turned around: "Mother, what are your orders?"
"Come here, help mother thread this needle and thread."
Tan raised her hand and twisted it with one hand. A needle, a thread in one hand, and the half-done sole plate resting on the leg.
Yang Huazhong felt sad for a while, and said as he took the needle and thread: "Mom, your eyesight is not good, so just don't do these needlework. Several daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law will not be short of your clothes and shoes. socks.”
Mrs. Tan shook her head gently, "No one is short of me. I am also idle when I am free, doing some needlework to pass the time. Otherwise, when the third girl gets married, I will be alone in this house without anyone to talk to. No more.”
Yang Huazhong paused his hand slightly and glanced at Tan secretly.
The sun outside is strong, but the light inside is dim. The wrinkles on my face are getting deeper and deeper, and the skin on the back of my hands is folded together, like withered tree bark.
My hair was mostly white, and there were more age spots on my face and hands than before. My empty eyes were a little moist. I sat there and turned my head to look out the window, but I couldn't see anything.
Mom is really old.
Lonely, deserted, old...
Yang Huazhong's heart sank a little.
A little awkwardly, she threaded the needle and thread and put it back into Mrs. Tan's hand, "Mom, even if the third girl gets married, there are still Yongzhi and Yongqing in the front and backyard, not to mention that the fourth brother lives right across from you. Now, Tiedan also comes to your house from time to time. Meier is also married in the same village. We will come over from time to time to talk to you. You always... don't So sad!"
Tan turned around, raised his hand and patted the outside of Yang Huazhong's arm: "What am I so sad about? I've been doing this all my life. You go and do your work. Let’s do something for a while.”
Yang Huazhong stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll come and pick you up after the meeting starts.”
Not long after Yang Huazhong left, the three girls came over.
"Milk, the banquet will start in a while. I went to the kitchen just now and saw the lotus seed and white fungus soup being stewed. I brought you a bowl. Have a drink and watch. It will relieve the heat in this hot day. "
The third girl put the bowl on the table next to Tan, and then looked at the shoe sole in Tan's hand.
"Hey, who are you getting these shoe soles for? Why are they so thick? How can you walk in these?" The third girl asked in confusion.
Ms. Tan put down her shoe soles and stretched out her hand to hold the bowl and spoon. "I'll give you the shoe soles. I'll make them into a dowry and put them under the box to take to my husband's house."
The third girl was holding the sole of the shoe and looking at it over and over. She was surprised when she heard this.
I was so surprised that I laughed: "Nai, are you worried that your granddaughter can't walk out because she's too short? Look, I've grown taller. I'm as tall as Sister Qing'er!"
While stirring the sweet soup in the bowl with a spoon, Tan thought about it, "I still remember Fat Ya's height. I wasn't blind at that time. If you really grow as tall as her With that height, it’s not easy to lose when fighting in a crowd of women. "Ah?" The third girl opened her eyes, "Why are you fighting?"
Tan didn’t. He said angrily: "When you get married, even though there is no pressure from the parents-in-law, you are the master of your own family. This is a good side. But there is also a bad side,"
"The bad side is that those blind sisters-in-law make things difficult for them, and aunts and others deliberately use their seniority to suppress them. If you encounter a few quarrels and can't get over it, you may have to fight. It's not uncommon for women to fight. , Your mother used to get into fights with people in the village, and she tore out several handfuls of her hair!"
The three girls have black lines all over their heads.
"Milk, I don't quarrel with others, and I don't even fight." She said, squeezing the thick soles of her shoes in her hands.
"Besides, Brother Liu will protect me..."
When he said this, his face was slightly hot, but fortunately grandma couldn't see it.
Mrs. Tan snorted, "He's protecting you? He can't tie you to his belt and protect you all the time, right?" My parents have never taught you anything, and even if I teach you, you won’t be able to understand it, because they have lived in confusion all their lives.”
“ Let me tell you, we women, relying on the sky and the earth, relying on men and children, are not reliable in the end, only relying on ourselves is our true ability."
"If nothing else, let me say that. You Fat Sister..."
"Nai, it's Sister Qing'er. Sister Qing'er is not fat at all, why do you keep calling her Fat Girl?"
"I'm used to it, and I can't change it. Besides, it sounds so nice, and it makes people feel blessed. In the past, when your aunt was not out of the government, she was so chubby that she was like a flower in every village in the world. Later she got married and had children. I've lost weight, I don't know How ugly!”
The three girls couldn’t laugh or cry. If Auntie and Sister Qing’er hear about Nai’s aesthetics, they don’t know what to think...
“Nai, let’s not talk about the fight. Okay, then you tell me "Say, are you giving me the soles for wearing?"
The third girl asked again, bending down and pointing the soles at her feet, "Miscellaneous, are they for me to wear?" The soles of the shoes are several inches bigger than my feet. I might not be able to wear them..."
Tan was already drinking, smiling proudly as she drank: "These shoe soles are given to you, not for you to wear, but for you to keep at hand for making. Weapons.”
"Making a weapon? What do you mean?"
"Hey, you girl is really stupid. When you fight with others, what's the use of just scratching them with your fingers? You can wear these shoe soles when the time comes. Just stick it in the back and hide it, and pull it out when fighting with the sisters-in-law. If the family I bought a maid who was disobedient, and I will use this lesson as well.”
“I’m secretly telling you, I added some ingredients to the soles of these shoes, and it’s so painful when you slap them on your face, who are you talking to?” You won’t suffer any loss in a fight..."
The third girl laughed when she heard this.
I waved the soles of my shoes in the air a few times, imagining that scene and couldn't help but laugh again.
"Mistress, are you deliberately trying to laugh me to death? I am getting married, not going to the battlefield! Are you preparing a kitchen knife for me?"
With a casual joke, Mrs. Tan He actually took it seriously and let it go The spoon asked seriously: "Do you want it? If you want it, I will prepare it for you. It's a bad thing if the kitchen knife is too big. How about scissors?"
