Chapter 36: The chicken flies and the dog jumps, the family has shortcomings


Chapter 36: The whole family is short-lived

Because he was threatened by the scheming little loli to tell a story for a while, Zhu Pingan did not have time to grill the fish today. When he came home from school, he still put the whole fish basket in Brought them all home. Today’s fish supply is not as abundant as yesterday’s, but there are five palm-sized fish for comfort.

Riding the old scalper back home, he found that the house was in a mess.

The fourth aunt, the third aunt, and mother Chen were having an affair with the eldest aunt and grandmother in the noisy yard.

It must have been caused by the eldest aunt asking for two pieces of money from my grandmother, but I don’t know who was responsible. Three against one, the grandmother didn't say a word, the mother couldn't suffer, so Zhu Pingan didn't step forward.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you colluding with the in-laws' family to play tricks on us? A few days ago, the in-laws' family sent us a lot of money, and yesterday you asked for two dollars from your mother. The loan sharks are not that high, right? I asked the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law Ask, you are saying that we are causing trouble for the family and destroying the brotherhood, so we can't ask anymore?" The fourth aunt looked aggrieved and vomited her bitterness.

"Didn't I tell you? It's not what you think. Your eldest brother is going to the county for a few days to study. He will definitely be a scholar next time. By then, our family will not be able to enjoy the scenery and happiness together, and he will be able to compete with the county magistrate. You don’t even have to kneel when you’re sitting on equal footing. If you can be exempted from taxes and corvee, I’m not telling you, my brothers and sisters, to take a long-term view. How can your eldest brother forget about you when he gets rich?" The eldest aunt was able to cope with the fourth aunt’s questioning, with a sullen smile on her face, and said. The eldest sister persuades her ignorant little sister.

"In the middle, in the middle, my sister-in-law says this every time, and I have never seen my eldest brother get in the wrong one before!" the fourth aunt muttered in a low voice.

"Fourth younger brother and sister, what did you just say?" The smile on the eldest aunt's face couldn't be stretched, and it was broken.

"No, I didn't say anything. How do we know whether the eldest brother used these two dollars to go on a study tour or to please his in-laws?" The fourth aunt waved her hands repeatedly. Who doesn't know that the eldest brother's show is the eldest sister-in-law's? Wish, I don't dare to touch this brow, it just leads the topic to other places.

"That's right, sister-in-law, two dollars is not a small sum of money. If we use it ourselves, Jun'er can learn from it, and it will be enough for my piggy to learn from it as well." Mother Chen continued.

After hearing this, the eldest aunt looked at Zhu Ping'an who was riding an old scalper outside the door and coming in with a fish basket. The smile on her face was a bit disdainful, but she still smiled and said:
< br>"Second brother Sister, I think Shi'er is doing well in herding cattle. You see, Shi'er has caught fish again. I originally didn't want my Jun'er to go to elementary school. I wanted to keep him in the fields to herd cattle, but the fortune teller insisted. They say my Jun'er is Wenqu Xingxiamundi, I even saw so many fortune tellers saying this, and what else, if I don't send Jun'er to school, it will be forbidden by God. I was afraid of what I said, so I told my mother at home, Unexpectedly Her grandma rushed to deliver the money."

Zhu Pingan's face turned green when he saw his mother's words. Auntie Huashan had a sword discussion.

At this time, Zhu Pingjun also came back from school outside the door, because Zhu Ping'an was faster riding the old scalper.

"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore. The old master doesn't like me. He slaps my palms every day. You can see they are swollen. Anyway, I will never go to school again."

As soon as Zhu Pingjun entered the door He yelled, stretched out his little hands that were red from the master's beating, cried with snot and tears, and said that he would never go to school again.

Although Zhu Ping'an was dressed simply and had patches, he was chubby and quiet; Zhu Pingjun was well-dressed and had new clothes, but his face was full of snot and tears. There are still traces of mud on the little face. Looking at it, Zhu Ping'an looked more like a student of elementary school, while Zhu Pingjun looked like he was wearing a crown like a monkey, but he looked like a cow herder.

Mother Chen looked at this scene, the anger on her face suddenly disappeared, and she returned it to the eldest aunt with the same expression and eyes as the eldest aunt just now.

The eldest aunt was so stimulated by her mother, Mrs. Chen, and then looked at her son who was crying and fussing about how Master slapped his palms every day and never wanted to go to school again, she suddenly exploded.

"I told you not to go to school. I told you not to study hard in school. Do you know how much your parents have worked hard for your tuition?" The eldest aunt could no longer maintain the demeanor of arguing with the sisters just now, and her face became angry. He couldn't hold it anymore, so he grabbed Zhu Pingjun over with his hand, took the broomstick that was put aside, and slapped it on Zhu Pingjun's butt.

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't hit the child if you are angry. What does Jun'er know at such a young age? Don't break Wenquxing." Her mother, Ms. Chen, was not someone who wanted to suffer a loss. It sounded like he was protecting Zhu Pingjun, but in fact, his words were ridiculing his aunt.

"Sister-in-law, you just said how much money you spent on Jun'er's schooling. Did I hear you correctly? Didn't you say that Jun'er's schooling was paid for by the in-laws' family?" The fourth aunt had sharp ears and grabbed He took advantage of his aunt's words and held on tightly.

The third aunt who had been silent also spoke up, "I also heard my sister-in-law say that."

The aunt who was lecturing her son paused when she heard the words, and Zhu Pingjun followed The eldest aunt broke free from her hand and did not run away. She just lay down on the ground and rolled, crying loudly as she rolled, "You beat me to death, beat me to death, anyway, I won't do it again." No more going to school.”

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Pingjun turned into a mud monkey. Two white streaks of tears rushed out from his face, which was in sharp contrast with the mud on his face. There were still two mud snot hanging on his nose. He was crying so miserably. .

"Brother Jun, get up, the ground is dirty." Little Loli Yu'er timidly emerged from a corner, walked to Zhu Pingjun and coaxed.

Zhu Pingjun beat himself up and ignored Xiao Yuer.

Zhu Ping'an got off the back of the old scalper and walked over with the fish basket. He looked at Zhu Pingjun, who was like a mud monkey, and then at Xiaoyu, who was blinking his big watery eyes and asking for help. Son, he said:

"Let's go, Xiao Yu'er, my brother caught several fish from the river, let's put them in the basin to play. There is a fish with a colorful back, which is very beautiful. ”

As Zhu Pingan said this, he took Xiao Yu'er and carried the fish basket to the well in the yard, where there was a water basin.

“There are nice-looking fish, wait for me, wait for me, I’ll go too.” Zhu Pingjun, who was rolling and crying on the ground, stopped crying when he heard that there was something fun and beautiful, and started grunting from the ground He got up, stretched out his mud paws to wipe away his tears and snot, and ran after Zhu Pingan, as if nothing was wrong.

Everyone in the yard stared blankly at this scene.

Then

The fourth aunt reacted first and asked the eldest aunt, "Sister-in-law, you haven't answered what I and the third sister-in-law just said. Jun'er Mengxue is not from the Yue family. Did you pay for it? Why did you and your brother spend so much effort?”

"That's right, sister-in-law, you have to tell us."

"Yes, sister-in-law, we are a family, and we can't hide anything from our sisters-in-law."

The yard started to be noisy again. (End of this chapter)
