Chapter 40 It’s all my brother’s fault!
Jiang Datao and Jiang Dalang's mouths were so wide open they could almost swallow an egg. They asked in shock, "Are you saying our eldest brother agreed to Xiaoyu's marriage three years ago?"
Not just agree, but even agree with it as Big Brother's idea?
In the past, they had looked for the eldest brother many times because of Xiaoyu's matter, but the eldest brother covered his face with his hands and said that he was useless, unable to control his wife and unable to protect his sister. He was afraid that if he did not agree, his wife would run away, and then the children would be left without a mother.
He couldn't let his child be motherless, so he could only let his sister down.
As I was talking, I almost cried. My eldest brother was already in so much pain, why were they still sprinkling salt on him?
After all, this is someone else's family affair, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Now that parents are gone, the eldest brother and his wife are in charge of the marriage of their younger siblings. The eldest brother has no way to decide, so what's the use of forcing them?
The elders had tried to persuade him, but after hearing this they didn’t dare to persuade him anymore.
But, "Big brother said, he said that you insisted that Xiaoyu get married, and he couldn't stop you."
Shen Qing snorted in his heart. If it was inconvenient for him to come forward, he would let his wife take the lead. The bad reputation would belong to his wife, and he would get the benefits.
Her expression was mournful. "What family's major affairs can be decided by a woman? Besides, Xiaoyu is her own sister. If it wasn't his idea, he would have beaten me to death just for suggesting that I marry Xiaoyu to a widower who forced his wife to death."
As soon as these words were spoken, the yard became so quiet that even the sound of breathing became lighter.
Yes, not to mention other places, even in their Qili Village, every household is headed by a man, especially the sister-in-law from the husband's family. If the brother really disagrees, can he still let his sister-in-law be sold?
If my sister-in-law can decide to sell something, it must be something that the head of the family has agreed to.
Jiang Datao and Jiang Dalang only felt a dull pain in their chest, and thought that they were so stupid three years ago. Why did they believe what their elder brother said that he had no choice!
Even if Shen Qing was wrong in letting Xiaoyu marry a widower for the sake of a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, how could the eldest brother be innocent?
My eldest brother accounts for at least 50% of this...
Shen Qing continued: "I was useless in the past, but some time ago, by chance, I found a way to make money. After making money, I thought of my sister-in-law's family and Xiaoyu's husband's family, who are in the same village. I came to ask my sister-in-law to go back to her family's house to see how Xiaoyu is doing.
If she's doing well, that's the best thing ever, and I can rest assured. If she's not doing well, then let's see how bad it is, and what does she think?
She heard that one of her sister-in-law's parents' families was from the same village as Jiang Yu's mother-in-law's family, but when she came in and saw the two sister-in-laws, her voices and faces didn't match and she had no idea which one was which, so she could only speak vaguely.
And now she doesn't know whether Jiang Yu's life is good or bad, or how bad it is, so she can only ask her sister-in-law to help find out.
Jiang Datao and Jiang Dalan didn't expect that Shen Qing came here to help with this!
Their faces immediately turned red with shame. She had just brought food, and they thought that she was asking her father for help in another dispute over land like before, but they didn't expect that it was for their cousin Xiaoyu!
She came here as soon as she earned some money, but they were still calling her vicious just a cup of tea ago!
Damn them both.
At the same time, he thought that it was his eldest brother's fault that Xiaoyu married a widower!
When Zhou Yan heard that someone was asking her to go back to her parents' home to see if Xiaoyu was doing well, she stood up excitedly and blurted out: "Xiaoyu's life..."
Old man Jiang Yang coughed.
Zhou Yan suddenly woke up. Yes, Shen Qing didn't know what they had just said, and she had heard it everywhere. She asked her to visit Xiaoyu when she returned to her parents' home. How could she fool her with what she had heard before?
She looked at her father-in-law, and the old man nodded and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. Now that there is less work at home during the slack season, she was planning to go back to her parents' home to see her parents. Tomorrow, the eldest son will accompany her on a trip, and it's a good opportunity to see her sister.
"Nowadays, there's a famine, and every household is having a hard time. Take this bowl of food back with you and feed it to the children. Save the money you've worked so hard to earn to buy some extra food. In the future... no matter what, I'm glad you have this sister-in-law and the Jiang family in your heart."
The old man thought that there would be one more mouth to feed in the future, but he held back after being cautious.
Shen Qing only came to ask the eldest brother's wife to go back to her parents' home to see Xiaoyu, and he couldn't assume that they were willing to accept the divorced sister-in-law. He didn't know what the situation was with Xiaoyu.
Is Jiang Yu willing to come back? And can he come back?
Well, let’s wait until the boss and his wife go back and take a look.
Of course Shen Qing would not take the crispy pork back!
There is no reason to take back something that has been given away, and the other party agreed to help her when she asked for it.
She smiled and said: "In the past, my family was poor and I had to support a young boy to go to school. I didn't have anything good to give you.
I've only sent you a bowl of fried meat in all these years. If you don't accept it, I'll be too embarrassed to come again!"
These words made everyone present feel warm in their hearts. They felt that the fried meat was precious, but Shen Qing's thoughts were even more precious!
The fried meat was far from enough to represent Shen Qing's feelings.
When Shen Qing was about to leave, except for old man Jiang Yang who did not see him off, Jiang Ying, his two sisters-in-law, and even Jiang Datao and Jiang Dalang and their group almost sent him to the next house. It was only after Shen Qing kept persuading them that they returned.
When he got home, he saw three bowls of fried meat being poured out from a stoneware bowl - he left the stoneware bowl empty so that Shen Qing could take it back as well.
Zhou Yan sighed softly: "Sister-in-law, this bowl of fried meat is so rich, I estimate it weighs about a pound."
"They've added some seasonings, and the batter covering it is probably made of white flour! It would take so much oil to fry it like this." Li Xiulan swallowed.
It's full of oil and water.
Jiang Datao and Jiang Dalan, the two men, felt their mouths watering when they saw the greasy fried meat. They looked at Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying looked at her father and asked, "Dad, how do you say we divide it?"
After all, Shen Qing is filial to his father.
Jiang Yang looked at the three bowls of fried meat and distributed them: "Wrap one bowl with oil paper, and the eldest son will take it with his wife to his father-in-law's house tomorrow; the other bowl,
The remaining two bowls are for you to eat at home, and you three decide how to eat them."
I originally thought of taking him to the Liu family, but forget it. The Liu family doesn’t deserve to eat meat, not even a grain of rice.
The three of them responded and finally decided to stew a bowl with the gray-gray vegetables. The vegetables could be soaked in the flavor of the meat and were very sweet.
If Shen Qing hadn't sent the other bowl, they wouldn't have been able to eat it, so they decided to be extravagant and eat it directly. Everyone in the family, young and old, got one or half a stick to try.
The children who returned home couldn't hide their joy at being able to eat meat, juicy meat at that. They looked up at their parents, uncles, and grandfathers, wondering why the adults looked so solemn.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ying greeted them enthusiastically, "Eat, eat. Only when you are full can you exert your strength."
She had a premonition that she might have to go to Shili Village to fight with the Liu family!
When Shen Qing went out, he only wanted to send a bowl of food to establish good relations in advance, and had no other purpose.
But after leaving Mr. Jiang's house, she deeply felt that she would have to go to the next house with a clear purpose!
