Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position
Chapter 26 Playing dumb and deaf
"Ji Shou, turn off the fire. The remaining charcoal will allow the braised meat to absorb its juices. Finally, take it out and place it on the large bamboo sieve to cool. Remember to put the sieve in the pot to catch the fat that drips from the braised meat and use it to stir-fry for dinner."
Ji Shou was panicking. The young lady was going crazy, the old man was cursing, and the door was slamming loudly. He had just arrived and encountered such a thing. It was like finding a job and then finding out that the boss was not a good person. He was as panicked as if he had just found a job...
"Don't worry about it, just do your own thing."
"Ji Shou understands."
Brother Ji is nearly forty years old, and it is rare for a teenage girl to cause a fight. He sneered at his brother's disgusting family tradition, but he did not forget his purpose today and kept silent.
Ji Wangyue, who was standing by, whispered to Old Madam Ji, whose chest was heaving with anger and about to collapse, "Grandma, let's go in and sit for a while until Third Uncle comes back."
Mother Ji had already left her trembling mother-in-law behind and knocked on the door of the west wing, coaxing her softly, "Shushu, it's mother..." She tried to push the door, but it wasn't locked. She hurried into the house and locked it. She walked into the bedroom and saw Wangshu changing clothes without saying a word. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be angry, be good."
If you get angry at yourself, you will suffer the most. "You were still breastfeeding at that time. One time, your mother was very angry. She felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. Suddenly, her milk stopped flowing. You cried loudly because of hunger."
After changing into pajamas, Wangshu went to the bed and lifted the quilt to cover his head. He was in a bad mood and was even treated arrogantly by the disrespectful old woman. The original owner was very sick before, so why didn't these people come? They waited until she, the big victim, took the position and everything was calm. Everyone came here to act like a big boss. Get out of here!
"If I'm here, they won't be here! At most, I'll give that old man some rice and flour every month!"
Wangshu spoke briefly and to the point, then turned sideways to face the wall, leaving his small back to Ji's mother, making it clear that this matter could not be negotiated or compromised.
Suddenly I envied my daughter. I said whatever I thought without having to consider various personalities. Yesterday, my mother-in-law implicitly expressed that the whole family would settle down here, and the two uncles would move out when they had a stable house. She had not enjoyed the blessing of her youngest son for many years and wanted to stay in her third son's house for a long time.
Even though they knew their daughter had objections, the couple pretended to laugh it off but never mentioned agreeing to move in.
After not seeing mother and daughter for a long time, Madam Ji was prepared for a long stalemate. She didn't believe it. Filial piety was more important than anything else. It was not too much to kick a girl who looked down on her elders out of the house. The blame lay on the third daughter-in-law being useless. She only had one daughter, but she spoiled her into such a lawless and rebellious character.
After finally calming down and coming to the hall to sit with Ji's mother, who was scolded again, she said:...
After so many years, the same old tune is still being repeated!
"It's because my daughter-in-law is useless. My husband and I are ashamed to face our ancestors, so we came here from afar to take care of our daughter."
"You accept your fate?! But San'er is childless, how can you just accept your fate and get rid of it?! You have caused his family line to end, and I am too ashamed to face the ancestors of the Ji family! Do you know how many people in Hangzhou County are laughing at our Ji family? The three unfilial acts are not having descendants, and the worst is not having descendants. You just walked away and lived freely here, and we have suffered the consequences. The spit of the neighbors is almost drowning our whole family! In the future, your married daughter will be like a drowned child. When you two are old and can't move, just wait to starve to death!"
Ji's mother, with a splitting headache: ...She really doesn't understand...Why does a woman have to make things difficult for another woman...It's obvious that her husband himself doesn't care that he doesn't have a son...
"Mother-in-law, I understand that raising a son for a hundred years means worrying about him until he's ninety-nine. I'm sorry for all the worry. But Wangshu has grown up, and I hope you won't say anything more about the worst thing of all, like having no descendants. In my heart, she's better than a son, and in my husband's heart, his daughter is better than any son. As for when we grow old, as long as Shushu is well, we'll die of hunger and thirst with peace of mind!"
Madam Ji was furious and pointed her finger at her: "You!! You are such an unyielding and unrepentant person!"
"Sister-in-law, what you said is heartless... If your mother didn't care about you, she wouldn't have given you any advice. Your kindness is taken for granted. As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences. A son is a son, and a daughter is always an outsider. Wait until her heart is set on another man, and then you regret it? It will be too late! A hundred years from now, who will be able to offer you sacrifices and burn incense on holidays?"
Ji's mother said nothing.
After putting the other person at a disadvantage, Madam Ji finally spoke softly again, "I won't beat around the bush with you. Hangzhou County was in turmoil, and your uncles and their families and I have come to Yaocheng. You and San'er should follow the principles of filial piety and be courteous hosts. How can we afford to stay in an inn for a long time? I came here today to ask for your advice."
Ji's mother mentioned the middleman in Second Lane, "He's trustworthy, and there are a lot of empty houses there. You can contact him."
He pretended to be stupid, finished his words, and then lowered his head, waiting to be criticized.
.........
Good one, just contact them! Madam Ji gritted her teeth again and again. Apart from her appearance, was the person in front of her still the third daughter-in-law who was respectful, soft-spoken, gentle and considerate in front of her more than ten years ago?
"Is this your idea?"
"My daughter-in-law is stupid and doesn't understand what her mother means." She pretended to be stupid.
"Okay! Your uncle's letter specifically stated that San'er should be well settled. Is he going to kick us out?" Ji's mother was shaking with anger when she mentioned yesterday. She didn't believe that she couldn't fix this family! "San'er is a scholar who reads the books of sages. His reading is really eye-opening!"
...The silent mother Ji began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The family wasn't wealthy to begin with, having saved some money over the past six months. Her daughter's dowry was far from complete, and Ji's mother wouldn't try to boast. What good was fame? Her daughter had forbidden the entire family from worshipping Buddha. She couldn't even burn a stick of incense for the Buddha, and she'd offended everyone.
Her husband doesn't rely on anyone for clerical work, and she earns money with her own skills. As long as her daughter is healthy and pain-free, she doesn't care about other things such as reputation.
"Mother, brother!"
When the next shift was over, Tao Tao took the lead and pointed out the previous text. Ji Wenshu hurried in and saw his wife, who looked like a clay statue. He gently persuaded his wife to leave, "Madam, go see your daughter."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away. Mother, uncle, please excuse me."
If Ji's mother were pardoned, she would leave quickly. Unless a woman becomes the mother-in-law of a deceased husband, she is an outsider everywhere.
Tang Bo brought the grown-up Wangcai over. Despite being coaxed and persuaded by Ji's mother, Wangshu never smiled. He also ignored Wang Chai, who came up to him and sniffed around trying to recognize him. "Stinky dog, get out of here!"
With so much traffic at home all day, the cook was going crazy. "Let's make some more dumplings for dinner, chicken and leeks..." Thinking all the eggs were gone yesterday, there wouldn't be enough left today. "Let's finish the delivery and buy some more eggs... Make some sour soup dumplings... Prepare more and cook as many as you can." The idea was to prepare food for the number of people and then cook the dumplings for the number of people staying.
Hehe quickly called out to Ji Shou to load the clay pots onto the truck, "Hurry up, tie them up tightly!"
Taotao took the instructions and quickly prepared the dough and cut the chives. "Mom, I'll make three servings first. Once I buy the eggs, I'll make the rest!"
That's right! "Remember to add oil to the chives first, stir-fry over high heat for a few times and remove from the pan quickly! Add more stuffing!"
"My daughter will definitely fill it up nicely so that Sister Shushu will enjoy the meal!"
The day before, Qin Xiuyuan noticed that Ji's father's saddle did not fit the horse well, so he specially exchanged horses with Ji's father after work today and rode a pony to the horse market to re-saddle the horse.
When she came back riding on a pony, the little girl stopped smiling and talking and looked completely uninterested. She just nodded or answered with one or two words to every question.
"Don't be afraid. Mount the horse first. Start from the left side. Hold the reins with your left hand and secure the stirrup with your right. Put your left foot on first and then step your right foot over the horse's body."
The pony was docile. Qin Xiuyuan stroked the horse's head while teaching people how to mount it. Usually, Ji's father would help people mount the horse, but he just led her for a few laps.
I think I want to learn how to ride a horse, but the enthusiasm for learning how to ride a horse... won't last long...
"After you sit down, sink your heels down."
Wangshu touched the saddle with his toes, unable to reach it due to his short legs. He glanced at his new master. Qin Xiuyuan also noticed and stepped forward to shorten the saddle again. Wangshu looked down at his face from above, and now stared at the top of his head, thinking, at least there is someone in this shabby world who is as good-looking as me...
"try again!"
She stepped on it and now she could use her foot to exert force.
"Put your heels down, step on the saddle, and control the horse's direction. To go left, hold the reins and turn them half a circle from the left... To go right, turn them half a circle from the right.... Hold on tighter... Come on, go straight. If you want to go straight, just kick the horse's belly with your feet.... Speed depends on your strength and the location. Brake the horse, lean back in advance, and then pull the reins down."
Seeing that he was following closely, Wangshu also turned left and right and walked straight with peace of mind. If there was no one in the alley, he would jog a few steps.
"When you have a day off, go to the back hill of Famen Temple and go horseback riding." Seeing that she just nodded, Qin Xiuyuan added, "You can go to the temple with your aunt to burn some incense first."
The ancients were superstitious!
"Rich people squander their money, poor people worship Buddha, I won't go!" He kicked the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves clattered as it ran away a few steps.
Suddenly provoked, the person went berserk, leaving Qin Xiuyuan, who was choked and a bit confused, saying: ...was that look of contempt just now? ...
What's the point of spending money to worship Buddha? Isn't this just to make people happy?
Qin Xiuyuan felt miserable because he couldn't coax his mother or his fiancée.
