Chapter 19 The Attitudes of the Two Houses
Jiang Yun heard Jiang's sarcastic words and responded angrily: "Since you know that my parents have nothing to eat or drink, then hurry up and make something. I saw Qing'er catch a big fish."
Xu took the grilled fish off and placed it on some leaves her son had picked from somewhere. Then she looked at Jiang and said, "Sister-in-law, since you mentioned eating and drinking, I have to say a few words."
"Yesterday, my husband heard that something had happened to my father and eldest brother, so he hurried home to tell my mother. But my mother not only refused to see my husband, but also told him to get out."
At this point, Xu glanced coldly at Old Lady Ouyang, Chen Yanhua, and continued, "If it weren't for Old Lady's aggressive pressure, my mother-in-law wouldn't have passed away right after giving birth to my husband."
"It's said that the old lady has provided my husband with food and drink for these years, but why did I hear that my husband was raised by a wet nurse? Don't accuse me of being unfilial as a younger generation. It is said that a father is kind and a son is filial. If you want a son to be filial, you must first have a kind father..."
Chen Yanhua saw that her eldest son looked at her as soon as Xu finished speaking, and she shouted with a guilty conscience: "How could I know that something would happen? Ouyang Jin didn't say anything, so how could I know..."
Seeing the old lady who always blamed him for everything, Ouyang Jin stood up and asked coldly, "Didn't I say that? If I didn't say it, how did Butler Li and the others know about it?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Chen Yanhua again, but instead fixed his gaze on his father, Ouyang Hong: "You are my father, and I can't change this based on blood."
"But ever since I was eighteen and you threatened me with death and forced me to give up my official career, I've been without a father. You are the almighty Lord Ouyang, and you are the old lady of the Ouyang family."
After saying that, he ignored everyone, sat down, picked up a grilled fish and started eating.
I heard yesterday that Ouyang Hui was sentenced to exile because of his huge corruption.
He simply couldn't believe it. He had worked diligently for the Ouyang family over the years and had accumulated a considerable fortune. How could Ouyang Hui still...
When he looked at his father again, he regretted it immediately when he saw that he and the third brother were implicated but he didn't say a word.
He regretted that not only had he been going out early and coming back late for the Ouyang family over the years, but he had also neglected his wife and children.
This time, his delicate and soft daughter was pushed down by the thirteen-year-old daughter of the eldest wife. Not only was her arm injured, but her head was also bleeding. However, this old lady who was so biased to the point of being partial to him didn't even say a word of blame.
Could it be that his eldest wife's daughter is a treasure, while Ouyang Jin's daughter is just a weed?
This is exiled, and you still want to show off
He also wants me to ignore my wife and children and serve their family. He looks shifty, but he has beautiful thoughts.
I won't serve you anymore, do whatever you want!
I have to say, Ouyang Jin was really disappointed.
Especially when he heard his daughter say that it was this old lady who masterminded the attack on him by bandits, he felt sad.
If I hadn't brought the servants my father-in-law arranged to protect me, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back.
Thinking about it now, I still feel scared.
He worked so hard to run the shop for the Ouyang family, but the old lady actually used the money he earned to hire someone to kill him.
Thinking about the years I've spent in the Ouyang family, it's just a joke!
While eating grilled fish, Ouyang Jin was thinking in his heart, at this moment, two crystal drops fell from his eyes...
She ate the grilled fish mixed with tears, took the fish soup handed to her by her son Minglou, and drank it slowly.
As for the eldest wife and Lord Ouyang, Ouyang Jin forced himself not to look, for fear that he would make the same mistake again if he was soft-hearted.
Xu felt very sad when she saw her husband's appearance, but what could she do at this time? She could only sit quietly beside him and accompany him.
Ouyang Qin, who had been silent all this time, looked at his second brother and felt a sense of empathy.
Although he is the youngest child in the Ouyang family, as the old saying goes, love the older and care for the younger.
Although he was loved, it was only before he was five years old. After he turned five, he felt that his parents were alienated from him.
Every time I don’t feel like working hard anymore, my second brother will tell me something, whether it’s a humanities biography or a historical poem…
It wasn't until he passed the imperial examination that his mother, the old lady, decided that there was no need for him to continue taking the exam, saying that his second brother wasn't managing the family store with enough care, so she asked him to take over the management...
At that time, he blurted out a question: "Mom, if my second brother doesn't manage the store well, how can the store have so much income every year?"
Because he said this, the old lady threw him directly to his second brother...
It can be said that if it weren’t for his second brother, he wouldn’t know what he would be like now.
Ouyang Qin looked at his second brother who kept his head down, sighed in his heart, and then buried his head to drink the fish soup.
As for Lord Ouyang and Old Madam Ouyang, they have their precious son, grandson, and precious granddaughter with them, so they should be doing fine.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Jiang wanted to step forward and grab the small half pot of fish soup.
But as soon as she moved, she received Xu's death gaze, and then turned around and hurried back to their place.
After Jiang left, brothers Ouyang Mingqing and Mingyan came over with fish.
"Uncle, Aunt, can we borrow your knife to clean the fish and grill it here? We only need one fish."
Mrs. Xu looked at her second son, Ouyang Mingxu, and said, "Xu'er, go help your two brothers clean the fish and grill them. Don't be greedy."
"Hey, Mom, I'll go right away. Big cousin and second cousin, give me the fish, I'm fast." After responding, Ouyang Mingxu hurriedly looked at his two cousins and said.
Ouyang Mingqing said seriously, "Let's do it together. You can teach us."
"Okay, let's go to the river. It's a good time to wash after we clean up."
"good."
As they were talking, the three brothers came to the river.
Then, under the stunned expressions of his two cousins, Ouyang Mingxu quickly cleaned the two fish and cut two or three times on the fish so that they would be cooked faster.
When the three brothers came back again, some firewood had been added to the already weak fire, making it just the right time to grill fish.
Brothers Ouyang Mingtao and Mingli consciously served a bowl of fish soup to their two cousins, with half a fish in the soup.
Seeing his two little cousins offering him fish soup and fish, Ouyang Mingqing wanted to refuse. But when he thought of his parents, he accepted the fish soup and thanked them. Then he grilled the fish and drank the soup.
After a while, Ouyang Mingxu sprinkled some salt on the two fish.
When the food was almost cooked, Meng Yi's voice rang out: "It's almost time, pack up and continue on your journey."
This time, no one heard Meng Yi mention a place to rest, and they guessed that they might have to use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a mat.
Before leaving, the two fish were finally grilled. The two brothers thanked Ouyang Jin, Ouyang Qin and their group, and then walked back to their parents.
The two brothers did not eat the grilled fish. Instead, they gave one grilled fish to their father Ouyang Hui and the other to their grandfather Ouyang Hong.
Under Meng Yi's urging, the Ouyang family once again embarked on the road ahead...
