Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Mother-in-law wants my dowry
“Mother, what are you doing? Everyone is watching. My mother-in-law wants my dowry…” Wang Xiushu screamed and ran, pulling her hair loose with her hands from time to time.
Xie’s widow was so angry that she felt painful when she remembered that the dowry was subsidized to the Wang family, “Oh, why is my life crying so much? Where is there a wife who doesn’t listen to her mother-in-law…”
Widow Xie started crying and howling again, and then she sat down on the ground and cried loudly. Wang Xiushu quietly wiped her tears beside her like a quail without saying anything.
The neighbors in the neighborhood also gathered around, and they persuaded, “Thank you, widow, how did your daughter-in-law provoke you? Our ears are going to be deafened again…” As he said, the people next to him laughed, who doesn’t know about Xie’s widow. It’s the thunder and the rain, and there are no tears but voices.
“You mean this unscrupulous daughter-in-law…” Widow Xie’s face was stiff for a moment, but she used to cry like this before letting the two children live, so this tactic has always been used.
Wang Xiushu’s hair was loose and his eyes were red as if he was wronged, but he just didn’t speak and only shed tears. This made everyone around watching the bustle feel that Wang Xiushu was wronged.
“Okay, thanks widow, where are you not happy to have this wife, cooking, washing clothes, working in the fields, that is not for you, so stop making trouble.” Li is holding a cane Come out to uphold justice.
Widow Xie’s voice stopped abruptly, watching Lizheng converge, “Lizheng, when did you come here, come home for a cup of tea…”
You know, Xie Zurong is now a scholar, and whether he can be admitted to Juren still needs Lizheng’s recommendation, so whoever Xie widow is not afraid, is afraid that Li will cancel her son’s exam qualifications because of her own reasons.
Xie Zurong looked at the farce outside the window with a look of disgust, but he walked out, “Li Zheng, come in for a cup of tea and rest.”
“No,” Lizheng watched Xie Zurong raise his hand, and then said to the people around him, “Okay, let’s go home for dinner, don’t watch the excitement.” As he said, he walked back, but his eyes fell. There was a sigh on Wang Xiushu’s body.
How could such a good girl have such a mother-in-law.
The good show ended. Widow Xie grabbed Wang Xiushu and went into the kitchen, ordering, “You don’t have to eat at noon today. When will you bring your dowry back, you will eat it again.”
Xie Zurong was also ignorant of Wang Xiushu’s answer, and he also had a hint of disgust and dislike, “I don’t want to pour some water on my mother, wink…”
“Weiniang will one day be **** off by your unbelievable daughter-in-law…” Widow Xie groaned and said viciously, as if Wang Xiushu was a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh.
Wang Xiushu didn’t speak. Since she didn’t take her as a human being, she didn’t have to be polite. So when she scrambled eggs at noon, she put salt on it desperately, and the result was salty panic.
“Ahem, why is this dish so salty? Did you beat the salt jar?” Xie Yuxiang saw Huang Yingying’s egg and quickly took a bite with his chopsticks, but the expression on his face was very exciting.
Wang Xiushu seemed to know nothing, still pretending to be silly, “This…I don’t know…” He lowered his head and looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, but he was actually happy in his heart.
Let you eat eggs, let’s do it now. The monk doesn’t eat meat, but he is avenging me on the drums, letting you bully me.
Widow Xie hurriedly took a bite, and then her face changed suddenly, “Bah, baah, what is this, why do you put so much salt in the eggs? Are you feeding pigs?” After taking a bite, spit it out, and then pointed to Wang Xiushu. An angry face.
“I was pulled by you just now, and then the salt was too much.” Wang Xiushu said in a panic, pulling his half-old clothes uneasy with his fingers.
“My salt…” Widow Xie seemed to think of something, and suddenly howled and ran to the stove.
Xie Zurong frowned when he looked at Wang Xiushu who was expressionless, and then suddenly put down his chopsticks and went back to the house, packing up his things and preparing to go back to the school.
Xie Yuxiang also put down his chopsticks, and drank a few sips of water before coming back, “Are you deliberate?” His long eyes were full of picky and disgust.
“I didn’t mean to…” Wang Xiushu began to wiping tears silently, without reasoning.
At this time, Widow Xie walked out of the stove holding the salt jar, and then she cursed her head and face. Of course, the object was Wang Xiushu, “You think the salt doesn’t need money. Did you pick it up? How come you are a prodigal daughter-in-law. ”
“I was blind too, so I found you the hapless daughter-in-law for Zu Rong…”
Wang Xiushu suddenly raised her head, “Mother, if you don’t like me, you can just let Zu take my leave.” She didn’t want to stay at Xie’s house anyway.
“Okay, you have learned to talk back, haven’t you?” Widow Xie was out of breath, looking at Wang Xiushu as if she was looking at the enemy.
Wang Xiushu raised his head and said coldly, “Mother, what’s wrong with me, but you can’t torture me like this. I was married to Xie’s family, not sold to Xie’s.” After speaking, Wang Xiushu turned around and went back to the house.
Widow Xie was blocked and couldn’t speak. It took a long time to say to Xie Yuxiang, “Look at her, I haven’t said anything yet, she has learned to talk back…”
Xie Yuxiang’s eyes flashed, and then she lay in Widow Xie’s ear and said, “Mother, brother, don’t go back to the school tomorrow, we have a chance to toss her.”
“Yes, when your brother is gone, I will teach her again.” Widow Xie said viciously looking at the direction Wang Xiushu was leaving.
As he was talking, Xie Zurong packed up his things and walked out of the hall, “Mother, I’m going to the school now.”
“Why so early?” Widow Xie said while pulling Xie Zurong’s sleeve, thinking that she might leave tomorrow.
“No, my schoolwork is relatively busy. I can review my homework if I go today.” Xie Zurong said while comforting Xie’s widow.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay at home, it’s really that he doesn’t want to see Wang Xiushu. Had it not been for so many dowries, he wouldn’t have married her in the first place.
“Alright, the environment at home is not as good as that in the academy,” muttered to himself, and then took out a piece of silver or two from his waist, “You take this, usually you are so worldly and so on…”
Xie Zurong looked at the silver in his hand and the corners of his mouth twitched, “Okay, mother, I’ll leave, what work is at home, you let Wang Xiushu do it, you rest.”
The mother of a thousand miles is worried. Widow Xie watched Xie Zurong leave, but her heart was full of excitement. Nothing else, when her son left, she had time to toss Wang Xiushu.
At night, Wang Xiushu slept in the room, but she couldn’t fall asleep with her eyes open. She was confused and didn’t know when she would fall asleep when she opened his eyes.
