Chapter 510 The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 60
There is a rocking chair placed under the green bamboo clump in the upper right corner of the yard. The sun is just right and the breeze is calm.
Chen Mufeng sat there reading a book, looking up from time to time at the woman walking in circles in the yard, holding her belly.
He persuaded her several times to be careful about her belly, and every time Yao'er said that walking would help pregnant women give birth.
He also asked the doctor, and the answer he got was that it was indeed beneficial for pregnant women to move more, but looking at it like this always made people worried.
"Oh, Mu Feng, don't be so nervous all the time."
Yu Yao said to him with a big belly and a smile.
Chen Mufeng put down the book in his hand, sighed helplessly, stood up and walked over, "Yao'er, your belly is so big, I really don't feel at ease, in case something goes wrong"
"Bah, bah, bah, good luck, don't say such unlucky words."
She quickly interrupted him and touched her round belly, "The babies are fine and well-behaved. Don't worry."
Chen Mufeng also knew that he said the wrong thing, and he quickly followed it with a sigh.
Then he quickly changed the subject, "Yao'er, I sent a letter to my family yesterday, telling them that I am currently in the capital. Firstly, it's the New Year's Eve, and secondly, it's also to reassure them. After all, I have been away from home for so long, so I should go and seal the deal. Let me know by letter that you are safe.”
He paused and then said: "I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept it, so I didn't mention our marriage in the letter."
Yu Yao was slightly startled, her expression a little complicated, and then returned to normal, "You have been out for a few months, and you should write a letter to inform your family that you are safe. You don't have to tell me this specifically, it is what you should do."
< br>
She looked at him and continued: "As for our marriage, it's better to keep it a secret for now. If they find out, they might cause trouble."
Chen Mufeng also had the same thought in his mind. Yao'er was about to give birth, and it was not suitable to mention it to his family now.
It would be better to at least wait until the child is born, or after spring is over.
However, I felt a little guilty.
He stepped forward and gently held her hand, "Yao'er, I've wronged you. I will definitely find a suitable reason for my mother to accept you"
"No, it's better for your mother and I to stay away from each other forever. I don't expect her to accept me, and I don't care about her acceptance."
She sneered in a low voice with a mocking and disdainful expression.
Then he looked at Chen Mufeng, who looked embarrassed, and continued: "You know how much your mother hates me. Even if you talk about it, it won't change her impression of me at all. When you and I were three, When my brother and I were together, she looked down on me in every possible way, and made trouble in every way. In the end, she even forced your third brother to divorce me.”
When she said this, she looked a little bad, "Not to mention, you are still her proudest, most beloved and promising son. If your mother knew that I married you, she might hate me, and she might even want to kill me. ”
What she said was not false. According to Wang's character, the trouble would be minor, and she might poison herself with a packet of medicine.
When Chen Mufeng heard this, his expression was complicated. He also knew that what Yao'er said was the truth, which was why he had never dared to tell his family.
Seeing that he was silent, Yu Yao's eyes flashed and she asked again: "Mu Feng, let me ask you, if you pass the Jinshi exam in the spring and successfully stay in the capital as an official, then your mother will ask for What will you do if I follow you to the capital to enjoy your life?”
She stared at him closely, obviously wanting an answer.
Chen Mufeng was stunned by this sudden question. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
My mother Wang's daily behavior and her various attitudes towards Yao'er kept flashing through my mind, and my heart was full of tangles.
He knew very well that if his mother followed her to live in the capital, the courtyard would never have peace in the future, and the quarrels in Quanshui Village would return to the same situation, and maybe it would get worse.
This is not what he wants to see, and he is also afraid of such a scene, and even more afraid that his mother will separate him and Yao'er.
There was a moment of silence.
He slowly said: "Mom is used to living in the countryside. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to living in the capital all of a sudden. If I go to high school in Chunwei and stay in the capital as an official, I can send someone to send more money back. Let them build a big house in the village and hire a few maids and slaves to serve it. Wouldn't it be more comfortable than living in the capital? In this way, the two of us can be quiet and avoid making troubles. "
< br>
This was the best way he could think of.
Mom, it’s better not to come, just stay at home.
This is good, everyone feels comfortable.
Yu Yao frowned after hearing this, "Your idea is very good, but according to your mother's temperament, she hopes that you will be successful, so that you can become an old lady in an official family, and call your slaves and maids from then on, with endless glory. I am afraid that I will only give you money. I won’t agree, and I will definitely make a fuss and come to the capital.”
Chen Mufeng frowned deeply and suddenly felt a headache. "It's too early to say anything about this matter. Everything is unknown. There is no need to consider these issues at the moment. However, if that day comes, I will not let my mother come to Beijing easily, let alone let go." ”
He is not the third brother. Although my mother is important, in his heart, Yao'er is obviously more important.
After hearing what he said, Yu Yao was in a good mood.
She was afraid that Chen Mufeng would be like Chen Xiuyuan, stuck in a dilemma and unable to figure things out. That was the headache.
As long as Chen Mufeng didn't let Wang come over, the damn old woman would have no choice but to stay in the country.
If she came to the capital, she wouldn't mind letting him know why the flowers were so red.
Don't say anything about filial piety or not. It would be a joke to ask her to be filial to the Wang family.
While the two were talking, Mrs. Liu came over with freshly boiled chicken soup, "Madam, drink some chicken soup to warm yourself up. It has just been boiled and is very nourishing."
"Thank you Aunt Liu. It's really hard for you. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Yu Yao said this with a faint smile.
He reached out to take the chicken soup and sat at the stone table in the yard to drink it. It was steaming hot. The winter in the capital was very cold and the chill was heavy, so it was just the right time to warm up.
If it hadn't been for the sunny weather, she would have hid indoors.
"What did the madam say? This is what an old slave should do."
Mrs. Liu said with a smile, then turned to the kitchen and brought a bowl of chicken soup to Chen Mufeng, "Young master, you have worked hard at studying. It's cold now, so you should have a bowl of chicken soup to warm yourself up."
"Thank you Aunt Liu."
Chen Mufeng smiled and reached out to take it, then sat opposite Yu Yao and started drinking.
During this period of time, his life in the capital was warm, peaceful and sweet. It was exactly what he had dreamed of. He was much happier and more comfortable than he had been in Quanshui Village.
The New Year is getting closer and closer, and Chen Mufeng also puts down his books and concentrates on spending the New Year with Yu Yao.
The two posted Spring Festival couplets together and prepared New Year's goods together, which was busy and fulfilling.
Of course I am very happy. Quanshui Village, the old residence of the Chen family.
On this day, Chen Xiuhe, the second eldest brother, held a letter from the capital and ran home in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Father, mother, eldest brother, third brother, you guys come out quickly, there is a letter from the sixth brother."
When everyone in the Chen family heard that it was Chen Mufeng's letter, they hurried out of the house.
Mrs. Wang was even more anxious. She stepped forward in three steps and grabbed the letter from Chen Xiuhe's hand. She muttered: "Oh, my son's letter is here, please let me see it quickly." .”
She couldn't wait to open the letter and looked up, only to realize that she was illiterate and looked embarrassed.
She handed the letter to Shi Shi, who was already in school, "This is your uncle's letter. Read it quickly."
Although Shi Shi had only been in school for half a year, he still knew some words. He took the letter, cleared his throat, and began to read:
"Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are all as familiar as each other. Now that the New Year is approaching, I miss my relatives at home very much. My son has arrived in the capital now. Everything is fine. He is concentrating on preparing for the spring exam. After the exam, he will be with his family again. Describe everything in detail. I hope my relatives at home will not miss me. I hope my parents are in good health and that everything goes well for my brothers. ”
After Shitou finished reading, he looked at everyone, "I finished reading, that's all in the letter."
Everyone present heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Chen Mufeng left, there was no news. Even if they wanted to inquire, they didn't know where to go. They could only worry in their hearts and pray that everything went well for him outside.
When I heard that he had arrived in the capital, everything was fine, and he was preparing for the Spring Festival Examination, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Mrs. Wang smiled brightly, but she scolded her, "This child, after being gone for so long, finally knows how to come back with a message. It makes me worry day and night, and I can't even sleep well."
"No, I didn't sleep well during this period. I was always worried. Now that I know that he is well, I can finally sleep well."
Father Chen echoed in a low voice with a sigh of relief.
Then the conversation changed, "But you can't blame Rokuro for this. The capital is far away and it takes time to send letters."
"What dad said is that as long as everything goes well for the sixth brother in the capital, it is better than anything else."
The second eldest brother, Chen Xiuhe, also said happily.
The rest of the Chen family were also smiling and saying happy words.
What I want to say here is that after Chen Mufeng left Quanshui Village, Wang dragged a matchmaker to marry Chen Xiuyuan, hoping to find him a new wife.
Because the trouble between Yu Yao and the Wang family was quite big, the nearby villagers and people also knew about it.
As a result, no villager in Shiliba Village dared to marry their daughter to Chen Xiuyuan.
Chen Xiuyuan is not Chen Mufeng. He is young, handsome, accomplished, and has a bright future.
In order to be an official's wife, everyone tolerated even if there was a shrewd, overbearing and unreasonable mother-in-law.
But Chen Xiuyuan is different. Not only was he paralyzed in bed, but he also married a wife. He had no ability, and was also famous for his stupidity and filial piety. According to my words, who would dare to marry such a man?
Mrs. Wang was also anxious when she saw that there was no result in her professing marriage.
Is the third child really going to be a bachelor in this life?
She was unwilling to accept it, so she asked the matchmaker to look for it again.
Unexpectedly, on this day, Mrs. Zhou took her daughter Taohua and took the initiative to find the Wang family and said that Taohua was willing to marry Chen Xiuyuan as his stepmother without any gift.
Mrs. Zhou's idea was simple. Since Taohua couldn't marry Chen Mufeng, as a future official wife, it would be good to marry Chen Xiuyuan.
Chen Xiuyuan is Chen Mufeng's elder brother. If this younger brother becomes prosperous, he will support and support him.
Moreover, the Chen family has never been separated. When Chen Mufeng passes the Jinshi examination and stays in the capital as an official, the whole family will definitely follow him to the capital.
As Chen Xiuyuan's daughter-in-law, Taohua will naturally follow her to the capital. Are you afraid that she will not be able to enjoy the blessings by then?
Although Mrs. Wang doesn't like Mrs. Zhou, nor does she like Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom is still a yellow-flowered girl after all. She is willing to marry the third child as a stepmother without asking for a betrothal gift. Such a good thing cannot be found with a lantern, so she naturally agrees in a hurry.
Chen Xiuyuan also knew his situation. He should be happy that Taohua was willing to marry him.
But Taohua once seduced his sixth brother, which made him feel alienated.
In addition, he was thinking about Yu Yao, so he never let go.
But I couldn't help Taohua coming over every day to ask for help, being gentle, considerate and warm-hearted.
Although Chen Xiuyuan could not resist it, he gradually accepted her and agreed to the marriage.
The two got married not long ago.
It wasn't that fast originally, but Mrs. Zhou urged her to hold the wedding before the year.
Naturally, the Chen family would not refuse to agree. Since the Zhou family did not ask for a bride price, the wedding was a lively affair.
Being in the same village, the wedding was even more lively, and both families were very satisfied.
Taohua became Chen Xiuyuan's new wife and lived in the third room of the Chen family.
Everything in the room that Yu Yao had used had been thrown away by Tao Hua.
She would not keep things that other women had used.
Mrs. Wang was pretty good to Taohua, neither finding fault nor looking for trouble.
Taohua has a sweet mouth, and her parents' family doesn't ask for any gifts. She comes from the same village, so she can be heard when she yells loudly.
If she dares to mess with the peach blossoms, Mrs. Zhou is not a vegetarian, and she is afraid that she will attack her in the blink of an eye.
Father Chen was quite satisfied with the peach blossoms. Thinking that the New Year was approaching, he said to Chen Xiuyuan: "Third brother, you and your wife will go to town to buy some New Year gifts to send to Zhou's family tomorrow. Buy better things and give them to you this time." Don’t let anyone talk about your in-laws’ annual gift.”
Wang didn't say anything after hearing this.
After hearing what Father Chen said, Chen Xiuyuan responded, "Dad, I understand. I will take my wife to the town tomorrow to pick out some good things to send to the Zhou family. No one will talk about it."
< br>
Taohua listened at the side, her face turned red, she gently tugged on Chen Xiuyuan's sleeves, and said coquettishly: "Ms. sir, don't worry too much, we are all a family, just take care of yourself."
She really didn't want to send good things to her, and she didn't have any good feelings for her mother's family. She was eager to get rid of the vampire of her mother's family.
Even though my mother didn't ask for a bride price, her purpose was to get more, and she also expected to bring my mother's family with me after she went to the capital.
Although it is unlikely, her mother likes to dream.
