Chapter 59: Moth

Matchmaker Ma came to the Yang family and told He that Feng Xiucai had agreed to the marriage. If there is no objection, she will make a small appointment.
After Ma matchmaker left, He began to ponder. Seeing that the food in the family is about to be eaten, she also has to give the fourth child a small appointment. After the small appointment, she means that she wants to finish the wedding after the new year. After all, there is only more than a month before the New Year, and the time is definitely too late, and the woman who is so anxious will not agree.
There are too many places to spend money, and He is stretched. I couldn't help but hit the second and third family. As for the eldest family, it would be good if they didn't ask her for money.
But what the Chief Yang said last time is still fresh in his memory. It is definitely not daring to make trouble with the He clan, so I can only find an excuse.
He remembered that the two and the third family had to provide support for their two elderly people every year. At the beginning, the chief Yang said that the support would start from next year. But He thought that if she complained, she should still be able to get it first.
The He family had even figured out how to tell the second and third family in their minds. This time she would definitely not make a fuss too hard. It would be no good to be stabbed by the Yang family to the patriarch Yang. She cried and begged them, for Yang Xuezhang He decided to throw out her old face this time. She didn't believe that she was crying and begging them, and they could still be cruel. And even if it gets to Clan Chief Yang, she is not afraid of it. She is crying to find her son for next year's support because the family is too embarrassed, and she doesn't want more. No one dares to say that she is ignorant of the world.
I have to say that He is very smart and knows how to change his mind according to local conditions. But the only thing she didn't expect was that her two sons were almost raided in a clean home, and even no food was distributed to them. The family has been separated for less than a month. Where can the two families get her a stone of grain and a couple of silver?
He thought it over by himself, and went to say hello to the old man. After listening to what He said, Mr. Yang didn't say anything. It might be due to self-defeating, or breaking the jar, or Mr. Yang was afraid that He might quarrel with him, and he didn't make any comments anyway.
He looked at the old man with such a satisfied smile, and planned when to find his second and third child, and it is best that the second and third wife should not be there.
He only discovered now that this second wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Subtle influence is more powerful than anyone else, even her always honest young couple was instigated by her to break up with the family. And the third daughter-in-law had better not come. Yao’s sudden nervousness last time really scared He. She had nightmares for many nights and dreamed that Yao had hanged and then kept calling her to come.
But can He's wish be fulfilled?
At least in this aspect of not allowing Lin Qingwan and Yao Shi to go, she is absolutely impossible to achieve her wish. Yang Tiezhu obeyed his wife's words. Yao's relationship with Yang Tiegen became better under Lin Qingwan's training. Both men now want to hold their daughter-in-law in their hands.
Especially during this time Yang Tiegen separated from his family, and no one restrained him. He also helped the second sister-in-law to do business and divided a lot of money himself. He usually dealt with the second shopkeepers in the restaurant, and his vision and mentality had changed a lot.
In the past, Yang Tiegen felt sorry for the Yao family only secretly, but now no one cares, and he is not afraid of attracting attention. Lin Qingwan has seen the two people's affection for many times. Yao's face no longer looks frowning, and his smile is always getting better and better.
He told her second and third family to go to the main house at night and she wanted to say something. It was the third house who told Yang Tiegen to talk to Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiezhu. It is estimated that Yang Tiezhu's stool scared He, and he did not dare to go to the second house.
Lin Qingwan's face sank when she heard Yao's words. She sat there thinking for a long time and didn't understand why He asked them to come over and talk about it.
Thinking of the matchmaker I saw last time, is it because I was short of money and wanted money? But how could this be possible? She thought it was too good!
However, Lin Qingwan didn't bother for too long. If he wanted to know what He was looking for, he would know when he went to night.
After dinner in the evening, Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiezhu went to the main room with the three-bedroom couple. After entering, there was no one else in the room, only the old couple sitting on the kang.
He was sitting on the Kang with a stiff face. She actually wanted to smile. Who knew that it was too difficult to laugh with these people, and He's old face was not strong.
"Sit down."
Lin Qingwan's rare good attitude really surprised Lin Qingwan. Several people took a stool and sat down far away from the kang.
After sitting down, the atmosphere in the room was very depressed.
The few people sitting below were silently waiting for He's Yaozi, while He was wondering what to say.
After a while, He spoke with a good attitude and a calm tone. This makes the people who have always been used to He's always screaming, violently cursing, or ridiculing yin and yang, are extremely unaccustomed.
"I asked you to come here today because I want to talk about something. Your younger brother, the fourth child, talked about a marriage, and the woman is..." He's Barabala said, but several people have not interrupted He's and let her talk about it. I also slowly listened to her words, which is to describe what kind of situation is at the house of the fourth wife's wife.
But what does this have to do with them? Could it be that calling them here today is to inform the fourth child that he is going to get married?
Anyway, Lin Qingwan thought, things are not that simple.
Sure enough, after the explanation, He cut to the topic.
"You two know the situation at home. Now the fourth child is going to say that there is no money in the family, and there is not much food in the family. I will discuss with your father and see if both of you will give the family the support for next year. Overcome this difficulty..."
Dare to call them here just to say this?
Old man Yang has been sitting sideways and smoking a dry cigarette without making a sound. His face is filled with smoke, and he can't see the happiness and anger on it. But since he has not spoken, he seems to agree with Ho's approach.
The peace of the He family, the silence of Mr. Yang, and the depressive atmosphere in the room make people feel a sense of absurdity. There will even be a question, is this the same family?
No one can answer.
Lin Qingwan didn't know what to say, He's such a good attitude, not crying, making trouble, or sloppy, made her feel helpless not knowing how to speak.
However, no matter how much he concealed it, he couldn't conceal a fact, that is the selfishness hidden under the silence of Mr. He's calm.
Don’t these two people know that they separated a few days ago, and the family didn’t even give them a grain? In less than a month, if they really don't have their own cards, will they be forced to death by these two selfish old men at this time?
If she doesn't have the money to sell embroidery, does not have the income of dried meat, and now she has no money and no grain, will they starve to death? I don't know if Mr. Yang or the He family can really be indifferent by that time and let them fall into such a field?
This does not seem to be a question. The actions of Mr. Yang and the He family clearly show that this is an affirmative sentence.
The few people sitting below understood this, and everyone was silent. Yang Tiezhu's joy and anger are difficult to distinguish, and Yang Tiegen's face is full of sarcasm or pain.
Lin Qingwan wondered if it was a sarcasm. After all, Yang Tiegen was always honest and honest, and this kind of emotion shouldn't appear on his face.
Yao, who had always been silent, spoke.
During this period of time, although there was only a short period of less than a month, the Yao family never felt relaxed. No one suppressed and no one ridiculed her as a hen who didn't lay eggs. No one pointed to her nose every day and said that she was wasting food. Yao felt as if she was back when she was not married. The always rigid brain seems to be a lot more flexible, at least the Yao family can see the selfishness and cruelty hidden under the good attitude of He family.
"Father, mother. Has anyone ever said that you are really cruel?" Yao sarcastically smiled, "Daughter-in-law made a mistake, you are not cruel, you are cruel to our family and your second brother's family!"
Yao's words made He's head a little confused, and even Father Yang couldn't pretend to be silent, and his hands began to shake. It's just that he still hasn't turned his face, maybe at the moment the two sons began to betray him in his heart, he gave up the two sons.
Yes, betrayal.
Old man Yang always felt the pain of being betrayed, especially the actions of the Yang Tiegen and his wife gave him a heavy blow, making him unable to recover for a long time.
It's just that he never thought that the father is kind to the son and only the father is kind to the son can filial piety, so that people have no way to survive, and others can only fight to the death.
Many people are always like this, only thinking about themselves, never considering the feelings of others. Just like Old Man Yang, he still feels a little guilty about Yang Tiezhu, after all, the family forced them to separate. But Yang Tiegen and his wife, who had always been honest and obedient, suddenly showed up like this, making Grandpa Yang feel extremely hurt.
But he never considered the feelings of others. After you feel hurt and betrayed, why don't you ask yourself how you treat others?
The Yao family saw that neither He nor Old Man Yang had spoken, and continued to speak: "We were separated. We did not give any food at the time of the separation. Do you know how we got here? Do you know? To get married, there is no money or food at home, and we have to take out the support we will only give next year this year. Have you ever thought about what we should do? Let the whole family die?"
Yao's voice was very stable at first, but when he said it, he became excited, especially the last sentence, "Family is going to die" sharply cut through the peaceful faces of He and Mr. Yang.
Although He did not react to Yao's reaction, she still suppressed the riot in her heart and acted according to the plot she had thought of.
He didn't cry or rage, just tugged his sleeves and touched his tears.
"I don't want to be like this either, but there really is no rice or money in my family, and I don't have to ask for more. I just ask you to give the next year's support in advance. Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are few days left. . And—" He paused, and then said, "Don’t you have a good life for your two families? We have stewed meat from time to time at home. How long have we not eaten meat here, do you know?... …"
He is also aware of the good life of two bedrooms and three bedrooms. After all, the stoves used for cooking nowadays have chimneys. Which one has a stew, not the fragrance of the yard? How could He not know that the life of the second room and the third room was not tight, but He did not doubt the source of the money in the two houses, after all, she knew that there was a rich Yang standing behind the two houses.
The Yang family has a rich son, and everyone in the village knows that the He family also knows that Yang’s heartache Yang Tiezhu will definitely not sit back and watch them go hungry. She also pays attention to it. She forced her second child to support them next year. Even if the second child doesn't have any money, do they have the Yang family?
This person like He has never thought about the question of why other people should ask for money from an aunt.
Anyway, she thinks so, she thinks it must be feasible.
He's mantra has always been an old lady or something, but today she didn't say anything, just sadly telling the family's difficulties, with a humble attitude but difficult to conceal a trace of victory in her expression.
Why can't you show a little bit of pain, embarrassment, and struggle? Why do you have such a good attitude and humble but strangled them to death? They will sell the bill, why can't you even give everyone a little bit. Actually, the family is really difficult. You are also embarrassed. The illusion... even if it is a deception...
In fact, no one wants to be unfilial. Really, many times the unfilial piety is forced by others. Force you to speechless, to chill, to cold, until your heart is dead...
No matter how weak He is, who has lived with her for so many years, who doesn't understand her personality?
But what can they say? He doesn't make troubles or spoils, just ask them for it, oh, it's not, it's given in advance. Can they refute it?
Well, they can refute it, but they didn't make sense anyway. When the children don’t support the elderly, they watch the elderly suffer from poverty and starvation, and others don’t ask for too much, they just ask you to give it in advance. In that way, why would they stay in Luoxia Village in the future?
Yang Tiegen couldn't sit still. The more he listened to his wife Yao, the more his heart hurt.
Yang Tiezhu had always understood his parents' attitude towards him, so he felt that he was used to it, or he would have died long ago. But Yang Tiegen is not. Yang Tiegen has been filial for so many years, maybe so many years, he has indeed received a lot of unfair treatment at home, but he has always ignored it. Every time his daughter-in-law was wronged, he tried his best to let the daughter-in-law to forgive the elderly. After all, life is still based on filial piety.
However, no matter how honest and filial the child is, he can't stand the repeated blows and injuries, especially this kind of injury and human selfishness are still so naked-naked in front of his eyes.
Yang Tiegen couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up.
"You are really my good parents!" After speaking angrily, Yang Tiegen turned his head and left.
He still wanted to stop him, but Yao said a word and stopped He's behavior.
The author has something to say: "Don't worry, even if our whole family sells houses and land, I will collect the things and send them to you!" After speaking bitterly, the Yao family followed.
Lin Qingwan shook her head, stood up, and helped Yang Tiezhu by the way.
"Since you have all planned this way, those of us who were juniors can't say not to give it up." Lin Qingwan smiled like a flower, but the smile on her face was ridiculous. "After all, you don't want much, just ask us to support next year in advance. Don't worry, we will get enough to send the house and land."
Yang Tiezhu was expressionless, and said, "Let's go."
After speaking, he and Lin Qingwan turned and walked out the door. From beginning to end, Yang Tiezhu didn't say a word to the He family or Old Yang.
ps: It's not that the people in the two bedrooms and three bedrooms recognize the buns, but they all understand that He may have a good attitude at the moment, but if they say a word, He will make trouble. At the end of the trouble, they were the one who was wrong. After all, the He family didn’t ask for anything more. They asked their two sons for help in advance because of the difficulties at home. Hey, I hope everyone can understand the meaning...
