23. Uncle Chen

On the second day, Chen Suzhi went to the house of He clan to greet Liu, thanking Liu for giving vegetables yesterday. Seeing that he was handsome, Liu praised him with a smile, "You siblings are both beautiful people."

Chen Su was humble and had seen He Heng again after saying a few words. He knew He Heng a long time ago, but he was not familiar with him. He couldn't help chatting more this time. After Chen Su said goodbye, He Heng sent him out. Chen Su was good at socializing, not to mention this description, He Heng had the intention to communicate with each other. Today, He Heng was right. He Heng couldn't give up, "My brother Su is going back to the village. I know you have a long way to stay. If the time is delayed, the elders at home are worried. When Brother Su comes to the county next time, he must find me to have a drink."

Chen Su said, "No need to say that, I will come to the door too."

He Heng gave some caution on the road before Chen Su left.

He Zijin did not forget to send his uncle a pot of jasmine flowers.

Chen Su came and went, but He Zijin didn't feel sad about parting. The main reason was that her uncle came every few days and it was too easy to meet. Shen went to the kitchen and baked a few scallion pancakes, cut them into the sauce and meat for the food for his younger brother on the way.

After Chen Su left, He Zijin wandered around the house for a few moments, and was dizzy and went to his father's study to look for books.

However, after turning two pages, He Zijin threw away his hand. Is this kind of classical Chinese, even a travelogue, or something interesting? Anyway, He Zijin couldn't read any fun at all when he read "The Drunken Old Man's Pavilion" in his previous life. Even if the most popular book at the moment, He Zijin turned a few pages when he passed by the book shop, he felt bored. Oh, by the way, her family is not a family, nor does it have the rules of the Dream of Red Mansions, such as the scripts, no one cares whether you read them. With He Zijin's favor, if she really wanted to buy two books, her mother would probably not care about it.

However, when Shen saw that his daughter threw away the book, he smiled with He Gong, "Just three and a half days of freshness, I will take back the book for you so that the girl will not throw it away."

He Gong laughed, "It is inevitable for children to stay at home."

The young couple were talking when they saw Madam Yu coming and whispered, "Mrs. I'm here, my wife asks the grandma to come over and talk."

He Gong hurriedly got up, and Shen grabbed her husband, "The clothes are worn in the house, how can I go to see my aunt?" He Gong took another long robe and changed it. He asked Aunt Yu, "It's rare for Aunt Yu to come here. I heard that Aunt was not good before, so I said I went to visit her. Madam looked at her, "I'm so happy now?" The Shen family was born with such a cleverness. Shen saw that Aunt Yu's face was a little wrong, so she asked.

The He family is not a rigorous family. Besides, even though Mrs. He is always picky about Shen, Madam Yu dare not look down on this future hostess. Madam Yu whispered, "Look, Madam's face is not very good, her eyes are swollen, as if she had cried."

He Gong asked, "Is it possible that my aunt has something to do?"

"Let's go over and you'll know." After taking care of her husband, Shen closed her hair in the mirror and looked around. There was no inappropriateness, so she went to Mrs. He's house with her husband.

Madam Yu's words were quite tactful. Aunt Chen hadn't cried before. Aunt Chen simply cried her eyes into walnuts. When she saw Shen, she hurriedly covered her tears and said, "The niece-in-law is here too." She was just worried about being sad, but she didn't hear Mrs. He call her over with her.

Mrs. He patted his sister-in-law's hand and said, "None are outsiders." Although Mrs. He doesn't like Mrs. Shen, he is a bit blind, but he is not blind after all. His son is filial and honest. He is the best choice for Mrs. He. However, it is not possible to be honest in this world. Mrs. He has been picky about Mrs. Shen for the past three or four years, and he has to admit in his heart that Mrs. Shen is a powerful and capable person. Just a few days ago, he opened a pickle shop with a private house. At least he is a strong person. Besides, Mrs. Shen is still a bit smarter. Even if he is not called Shen now, his son will not hide it from Mrs. Shen. Instead of doing this, it is better to ask Mrs. Shen to listen and have any good ideas. Mrs. He said in a deep voice, "Your aunt has suffered grievances. You must know that we are your aunt's family and have to stand up for your aunt!"

He Gong hurriedly asked, "I was about to say, who was wronged by my aunt? My aunt told me that I must not forget this way." Just like this, Aunt Chen loved He Gong very much. Even though the marriage between the two families was not completed later, Aunt Chen was a little resentful and did not spread to her nephew. When she heard her nephew say this, Aunt Chen couldn't help it anymore, and a sob in her throat and tears flowed down.

Old Madam He said on behalf of him, "It's not that shameful person of your uncle. At this age, he actually wants to be young!" He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

He Gong and Shen were all shocked. To be honest, although there is a case of taking concubines in the world, it is rare in this small county town. Although the Chen family is rich, when Aunt Chen married into the Chen family, the Chen family was still very embarrassed. Aunt Chen had the first shop that Aunt Chen pawned part of the dowry. Later, although the Chen family gradually became rich, Aunt Chen was still wholeheartedly treating Aunt Chen. The two have been married for decades and have given birth to five boys and two girls, a loving couple known to Hexian County. Now that he is old, Aunt Chen actually wants to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, it is no wonder that Aunt Chen is so sad.

He Gong said in surprise, "How could my uncle--"

Aunt Chen cried, "There is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fishy food! I've been working hard for him for a lifetime! That heartless person, I thought I had pawned the dowry and opened a shop for him. This is how he repayed me!" Chen Gu beat her heart and her mother burst into tears.

Aunt Chen has arrived. He Gong is a serious nephew of his parents' family and is determined to make a comeback. He Gong did not refuse, and agreed and said, "Auntie is staying at home for the time being. I'll go and ask my uncle now."

Shen stopped her husband and said, "Don't be anxious first. This is not a matter of urgency. Please ask your aunt to stay first. If your aunt doesn't go back today, even if your uncle doesn't come, your cousin will definitely come. When we introduce you, we will discuss a proper way and solve the matter with a quick knife. Otherwise, it will be very rumored and it will hurt your face."

Shen advised Aunt Chen again, "Auntie thinks about cousins, and you have to cheer up." She gave Mrs. He a wink. She had an ordinary relationship with Aunt Chen. Many words were more effective when she was a brother and wife. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very emotional. Mrs. He answered Shen's words, "Yes, Dalang and others are all filial, and grandchildren are all promising. The eldest sister also needs to take care of her health for the sake of the children. Otherwise, she will be frugal and the vixen outside! If you have a good time, can you tell the children to call the vixen mother and grandchildren to recognize the vixen as grandmother!"

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law really deserved their friendship for many years. My grandmother He said immediately poked Aunt Chen's lungs. Aunt Chen's eyebrows stood up and bit her silver teeth. Her voice was filled with murderous aura, "Don't think about it!"

"So my sister must live well and live well. Otherwise, if you are not good, the vixen will be a joke!" Old lady He said hatefully, "When his uncle comes, I will definitely talk to him with a good life!"

Old Madam He said again, "Groupe Gong's daughter-in-law goes to the kitchen to see and cook a few dishes your aunt likes. Gong'er goes to find your cousin to ask the reason, Ayu finds out the new bedding, and sister rests with me." After sending the person away, Old Madam He persuaded his sister-in-law to say a lot.

He Zijin sighed, "Men will become bad if they have money."

Shen whispered, "Don't say that in front of your grandmother and grandma."

"I'm not stupid." He Zijin stepped on his feet boredly, "Mom, can I go to Grandma's place to play?"

"Stay at home and have supper in a while."

"Where? I just had lunch, it was still early before dinner." He Zijin said, "The house is messy, just ask Cui'er to send me over."

Shen thought about it, and after a while, a few cousins ​​were going to come, afraid that they would not care about their daughter. Shen said, "That's good. Aunt Xian is more peaceful."

The life of the wife of the Xian Gu is really pure, and no one disturbs her at any time. She grows flowers, grass, drinks tea and reads books. When she is really idle, she will recite a few Buddhist scriptures, like a god.

The jasmine flowers in He Zijin's house were given to her by Mrs. Xian Gu. Now that He Zijin comes, Mrs. Xian Gu laughs, "Why are you here now?"

He Zijin sighed and sent Cui'er home to help Shen's help. Then he talked about Aunt Chen while having snacks at Mrs. Xian. He Zijin said, "The house is messy, so I'll come over."

Mrs. Xian Gu was used to He Zijin's words like a little adult. He Zijin bit the snack and watched Mrs. Xian Gu manage flowers and plants. He felt that many people became married and married. In fact, life may not be better than Mrs. Xian Gu's wife. Of course, it depends on luck. Mrs. Xian Gu is a widow, but her luck is really good. She is widowed at her parents' home and serves her parents. Her parents pity her daughter's life and leave a property for her before her death. Moreover, Mrs. Xian Gu is widowed for her in-laws after all. Even if she lives in her parents' home, she cannot ignore the daughter-in-law with a chastity arch. Before she gave the gift, Mrs. Xian Gu became a widow. Moreover, Mrs. Xian Gu was determined to keep clean and not marry, and her in-laws also cleaned up some industries to send to her as betrothal gifts. She still has contacts with her in-laws every year.

Mrs. Xian Gu got these two industries and lived in her parents' home. Her brothers were there. She had a good reputation and had a comfortable life. Moreover, Mrs. Xian Gu was a wise man among the people. Although she received gifts from her husband's family and her parents' home, she was a widow after all, and she had no children in her life. She had nothing but these things with her. When she was alive, the things were naturally hers. However, Mrs. Xian Gu had asked the two families to explain clearly that if one day she had passed away, the things would still belong to each family, and it was not relevant.

Although there is no need to give her some advice in the middle to be polite, because of this, my in-laws' family has no grudges, and she can only treat her more respectful.

Therefore, it is hard to be a widow, but it depends on who will stay as a widow.

The wife of the virtuous aunt kept He Zijin for dinner and ordered her maid Qingdeng to take her home.

Aunt Chen has moved back to her parents' home. One of He Gong and Shen wants to discuss with his cousin how to solve the problem of Mrs. Chen taking care of her, and the other is responsible for the food of several people in the family. She can't hide her fatigue until she rests at night. She asked He Zijin what she ate at Mrs. Xian, and said a few more words, then asked Cui'er to serve He Zijin and go to bed.

Shen and He Gong also had to discuss here, and He Gong said, "You didn't see the big cousin's face, which looked like something. Fortunately, I didn't ask my aunt to look at it, otherwise I wouldn't know what happened."

Shen asked, "Is it possible that my uncle even beats my cousin?"

He Gong frowned, "I heard from my second cousin that my uncle was as obsessed with the ghost. After a few words, my uncle immediately turned against me and beat my cousin to me..."

Shen sighed, "I heard before that my aunt and uncle were loved for many years and had given birth to so many children, and the relationship was unusual. I really don't know what kind of methods the woman outside confused my uncle to this point."

He Gong disdained and looked down upon him, "What kind of good woman can't be a good woman? Anyone who is a good woman can't alienate his wife and children?"

Shen asked, "What should I do about this?" To be honest, Mr. Chen wants to accept the young master, after all, it is the Chen family's business. The He family can express their opinions, but it is not realistic to say that he will take care of Mr. Chen. After all, Mr. Chen has made a fortune now, and the county magistrate wants him to make a fortune.

He Gong said, "You have to see your uncle first."

Shen frowned and thought for a long time, and said softly, "My uncle is so old that he has been walking outside for many years. In theory, he has seen a lot. Over the years, he has a good relationship with his aunt. If he had not been an idle person, his uncle would not have thought of taking a concubine. Now that my uncle has said it, he will definitely do this. You must have a clear idea in your heart."
