The sturdy life of crossing

Chapter 14 Aunt and Nephew

Leaving the ox cart in Hua Ren Tang, Brother Jian Leyang went shopping with Tian Xiaoniu.

I need to add some seasonings at home, so I bought some sugar, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. After coming out of the grocery store, Jian Wenyuan asked, "Brother, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to the cloth store. We all need to add some summer shirts, as do my father and mother." Jian Leyang gestured at the height of him and his younger brother, and both of them grew taller. Fortunately, the family has added several acres of land in the past few years. , all the remaining grain this year can be kept, otherwise we have to find a way to buy grain and stockpile it.

When he first came out from his grandfather, he told Tian Xiaoniu what they discussed with his grandfather and Doctor Hua just now, and told his father all the time when he went back.

"it is good."

Jian Wenyuan and Tian Xiaoniu walked in front and talked together, Jian Wenyuan walked behind with a basket in his hand, the three of them went into the cloth shop in the town together, just as they stepped in, Jian Leyang glanced at him, secretly said bad luck .

There were not many customers in the shop at this time, so the three people who came in immediately saw the two girls who were picking up cloth inside. They had a lot of connections with Jian Leyang and his brothers. One was their cousin, Jian Hehua, the daughter of the Xiao Wang family. , and one is the youngest daughter of their grandmother Da Wang, who is also the sister-in-law of the two brothers, Jian Wan.

Jian Hehua is gesturing a piece of floral cloth to Jian Wan, with a flattering expression on her face, while Jian Wan's slightly chubby square face shows a look of satisfaction.

"Little aunt, the last time I saw Du Zhenzhu wearing this kind of dress, I heard she said it was given to her by an official lady in the county. It must look the best on my little aunt. The little scholar also has a high opinion." Jian Hehua held a piece of flowered silk cloth that was said to be popular in Fucheng this year in her hand, she said flattering words on her lips, but there was a look of contempt in her eyes.

In fact, Jian Wan's complexion is dark and she has a square face. The brightly colored cloth in Jian Hehua's hand is not suitable for Jian Wan, it will only highlight her complexion.

Da Wang had four brothers and sisters, and Jian Wan was born the most like her, so Da Wang doted on the youngest daughter, only after her third son, Jian Guirong, who was the most proud of her. The granddaughter drank porridge, but she could eat meat , The granddaughter's clothes have been patched one after another, but she can have new clothes every season.

Jian Hehua was the first to be jealous of Jian Leyang's appearance and the good marriage she had arranged, but today she felt the happiest because her mother got a letter and sent it to the town, and the Du family was going to her second uncle's house to withdraw the marriage. Happy, why does a strange man have such a beautiful face and a good marriage.

The second person who is jealous is her little aunt, who is obviously not as good-looking as her, but she has been favored by her grandma. The little aunt waited on her so that she could follow suit, and Jian Wan was so stupid, so it was very easy to use.

Make Jian Wan happy, she can also take the opportunity to cut a new dress, it will be too late at her age if she doesn't talk about marriage, so she has to dress up.

Jian Wan was very happy just now, but when she heard about Du Xiaoxiu, she became unhappy, and this displeasure made her slightly fat and square face look a bit fierce: "What's the use of Du Xiaoxiu being high-minded, he was ordered by my second brother a long time ago." That monster."

"You don't have to worry, little aunt. Pearl told me that the Du family has long looked down on that weird brother, but Jian Leyang and the second uncle are ignorant and refused to take the initiative to withdraw. This time, Aunt Du doesn't want to wait any longer. Du Brother Ze passed the examination as a scholar, so Jian Leyang, who has a bad reputation, is no match for him, so I'm going to my second uncle's house today to cancel the marriage, maybe it's already done by this time." Jian Hehua said while Paying attention to the little aunt's expression, Jian Wan, who was really not happy just now, is now smiling so hard that her eyes are narrowed, she doesn't know what to think, and her face is still flushed.

In fact, He Hua knew from Pearl that the Du family had actually entered into another good marriage. That was the daughter of the county magistrate's family. But for the young lady of the county grandpa's family, even Zhuzhu looked at her with a bit of disdain, as if she also regarded herself as a rich lady of the official family.

"Lotus, what you said is true? Then what are we waiting for, let's go back quickly!" Then he let go of the cloth in his hand, grabbed Jian Hehua and was about to run out, Jian Hehua saw that she was self-defeating, her eyes flashed Looking annoyed, they were trying to persuade Jian Wan to slow down, but when they turned their heads, the aunt and nephew saw the brothers Jian Leyang and Jian Wenyuan who had just entered the door.

Jian Hehua was taken aback. She wondered if what she just said was heard by Jian Leyang. Although she was pushing Jian Wan to confront Jian Leyang behind her back, she was also afraid of Jian Leyang's strange strength. She remembered being pinched by Jian Leyang once , the bruise on the wrist took half a month to subside. Since then, I have learned my lesson and stopped rushing forward.

Jian Wenyuan heard a cousin and an aunt talk about Du Xiaoxiucai grandly in the cloth shop, no matter how young he was, he could understand what it meant. After falling in love with Du Xiaoxiucai, he was angry about the marriage that his father had arranged before, and he was almost happy to hear that. No wonder my sister-in-law was always targeting their family and his brother, calling him a monster.

A look of sarcasm flashed across Jian Leyang's eyes. He was very clear about Jian Wan's thoughts early in the morning, including Jian Hehua's contribution. This Jian Hehua was self-aware, and even encouraged the idiot Jian Wan to rush forward. He really thought he couldn't see through it. her trick?

"You...why did you come here? Why didn't you call someone when you came?" Jian Hehua subconsciously grabbed the lead.

Jian Leyang grabbed his younger brother and prevented him from speaking, playing with the taste: "Speak first and call someone, how can you hear such a good show? Jian Hehua, don't you think so?"

He pursed his lips and smiled, obviously he was a very good-looking brother, but when he smiled like this, he brought out a naughty smell, which made the two girls Jian Hehua and Jian Wan almost blush.

However, Jian Wan decided that this was the monster she hated the most. She raised her chest and raised her chin: "Let me ask you, did the Du family go to your house to retire? No, the Du family went to your house to retire. Are you still happy to go shopping?" Then he looked suspiciously at Jian Hehua, don't lie and just play around.

Jian Hehua secretly yelled, this is tantamount to self-reporting, even if Jian Leyang didn't hear what they were talking about just now, she can guess it now, when she looked up, she saw Jian Leyang's half-smile eyes, and said bravely: "I From what Pearl said, maybe it's not today, but tomorrow?"

Jian Wan was indeed a fool, she became happy when she heard this, and said to Jian Leyang in a sympathetic tone: "Who told you to be a powerful monster, except for farmers who farm land, who would dare to marry a monster like you? For a monster like you, you should take the initiative instead of letting people come to withdraw from the marriage, your reputation will be worse now, you should find a mud leg to marry, or I will go back and talk to my mother."

Listening to her talking about monsters, Jian Wenyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to rush out to find a place for his brother, but Jian Leyang grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back, Jian Wenyuan kicked his legs: "Brother, what are you doing, she is considered an elder , I can’t scold you like that, sister, my brother is not a monster, so let me go!”

Jian Leyang was not annoyed at all when others called him a monster. He pulled his younger brother back and patted his forehead: "Idiot, only those who are not self-aware use their words to belittle others in order to elevate themselves. I have great strength What's wrong? I can support my family, I can move my fist when others move their mouths, who do you think is faster?"

"Ah—" Jian Wan screamed in fright, "Monster, you dare to hit me? I'll tell mother to go!"

She was not stupid at all, and she could understand what Jian Leyang said. Jian Hehua also shrank behind Jian Wan in fright. The reason why she didn't dare to directly target Jian Leyang was because he was afraid of his unreasonable temperament and didn't care about his reputation at all.
