The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C301 Newlyweds
The guests had all left during the day, and the matchmakers had all been sent off. The bustling yard had suddenly become much quieter.
Aunt Chen was afraid that the two inside the bridal room would quarrel, so she leaked the information and chased away all the people who came to cause trouble.
Then, she left Chen Daniu’s wife with a sister-in-law to organize some things in the new room, and watched as Chen Erniu took off the bridal veil from the bride’s head, urging the two of them to drink a cup of wine, before pulling her away and leaving, as if she was completing a mission. When she closed the door, she even heaved a sigh of relief.
When the people around her heard her, they couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ve only just passed the gate, and you’re already like this. In the future, how are you going to get along with your sister-in-law?”
“Who cares about her. In any case, I only have this kind of temperament. I would be willing to give my heart to a person that I find pleasing to look at, even if it was me who would give my heart to someone that I dislike.”
The other party clicked his tongue.
Chen Daniu’s wife did not mind, but it was exactly as she had said. Her temper was just like that, he could not change it, and he did not want to change it.
This sister-in-law of mine had long known of her temper. She curled her lips and said softly, “I know, it’s only Mian Niang who treats you like this.”
Chen Daniu’s wife snorted, and did not say a word, as though he had tacitly agreed.
The other person didn’t mind. Instead, he pulled her and asked softly, “Ai, do you think that Erniu’s wife’s matters are true? Tell me, if she really had something with Young Master Gu, wouldn’t your family’s master pick up a second-hand item? If she’s so anxious to get married, could it be that she already has something in her stomach?
Her eyes flashed as she looked at Chen Daniu’s wife.
Chen Daniu’s wife swept a glance at her and sneered: “Go in and ask, and you’ll know if it’s true or not.”
He was such a straightforward person. It was as if his intestines had been poked all the way to the bottom.
This sister-in-law snorted and left in a bad mood. She didn’t even pay attention to what the Aunt Chen said to her. He turned and left.
Aunt Chen came out to pour some water. Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly called out: “Third brother’s wife, come in and sit for a while. Why are you so anxious to leave?”
“No, your family’s threshold is high, I’m afraid I might trip over it.”
Aunt Chen could not help but stare blankly for a moment before instantly understanding something. She then turned to look at her own eldest daughter-in-law, “You said random things that offended people, I am truly convinced. Whether or not you can control your mouth, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will stop waiting for something big to happen.”
Chen Daniu’s wife opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but at that moment, seeing his mother-in-law’s unquestionable gaze, she felt that the explanation was really powerless, and also very boring. No matter what he said, the other party would not believe his, so he might as well not say it.
Aunt Chen treated her silence as a injustice and immediately acted as if he was holding onto her weakness. What came right in front of her face was just a round of scolding. She had completely forgotten about this happy day.
She had been holding it in in her heart for a long time. Ever since their quarrel last time, the harmony between the wife and daughter-in-law had completely disappeared. Especially since Aunt Chen had been angered even more by Chen Erniu’s marriage.
When the bride entered, not only did the fire bubble not go down, there were even more bubbles.
With this, he finally had a way to vent his anger.
Without any hesitation, he brought out the two people he had provoked, Uncle Chen and Chen Daniu, and immediately asked them what was going on and started to persuade them again.
Chen Daniu’s wife sneered: “Just now Third Sister-in-Law asked me if Erniu’s daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I sent her back. When Granny saw it, she said that my mouth was not firm and scolded me. I want to ask eunuch, what did I do wrong? If you don’t say it, what should you say? ”
Chen Erniu pushed the door and walked out. Coincidentally hearing this part, his entire body froze.
Even the Aunt Chen didn’t expect that this would be the reason. Her face suddenly turned black and then white, looking extremely ugly.
Uncle Chen was stunned, only after a long while did he say: “What do you mean, what do you see?!”
The cloth had been torn off just like that, leaving him with no face at all. He had wasted so much time.
Chen Daniu felt that these words were not good, and he continued to speak in an unfriendly tone, “Third sister, how can you be like this? Why was she still talking nonsense? I’ll go find Third Bro now and have him manage his wife. Since he’s such a big person, he should know what can be said and what can’t be said, right? ”
As he spoke, he left. Just as he was about to reach the gate, his father called out to him.
“Get the hell back here!”
“But father, they are so insulting to our family …”
“Buried? If you have sh * t on your butt, then it’s not someone else who’s going to bury you. It’s your own fault. ”
He turned to look at Chen Daniu’s wife, as if he wanted to say something. Unfortunately, after his lips trembled for a long time, he only said one sentence: “Go back, all of you go back!”
He was the head of the family. Even if he was the stupidest and most unrepentant of them all, speaking a few words at a crucial moment would still work.
Chen Daniu’s wife was a hundred times unwilling to do so, but he knew the seriousness of the situation. On such a joyous day, if her mother-in-law hadn’t scolded his too harshly, she wouldn’t have really caused such a commotion.
Now that he heard his father-in-law say so, he also felt quite uncomfortable.
He turned around and was about to head back when he saw his mother-in-law’s body go soft. She was about to fall down. He quickly shouted and rushed over.
A few men of the Chen Family also rushed forward and shouted for someone. It was a pity that they were a step too slow, as Aunt Chen was already limply lying on the ground.
Separated by two courtyard walls, there was nothing that could be hidden, not to mention the fact that there was a youngster sneaking over to listen to the words of the bridal chamber.
In the blink of an eye, the second day had arrived. The fragments of the firecrackers had yet to be swept away, and what happened last night had already made the entire village aware of it.
The next morning, when Mian Niang woke up to sell her tofu, she did not hear any rumors. When she returned home at night, she heard her mother talking to him about these things.
Thus, Madame Song and Li came to a conclusion, “That Gu surnamed person is indeed not a good person.”
Other people said that it was Gu Xiu Chi who had seduced Gu Han, but Madame Song Li thought of Gu Han’s intentions towards her daughter. She thought that the other person had been deceived by the truth and spoke out for Xiu Chi, criticizing Gu Xin.
“There’s no fishiness here and I can’t get any gluttons. This Gu Xin’s thoughts are really crooked. If he didn’t have those thoughts, how could a girl who hasn’t even left the pavilion yet ignore him and come over to his side?”
For this, she even made a ruckus with the A Yunniang who said this before.
Both of them said that they couldn’t accept it, and in the end, A Yunniang left in a bad mood.
Mian Niang was extremely helpless. As she helped her twiddle the hemp rope, she said bitterly, “Mother, this has nothing to do with us. Can you stop meddling in this matter in the future?”
“When she came to me and told me, I couldn’t help it. If I had to say it myself, I also wouldn’t want to hear about the mess between these two families.”
Madame Song Li was not the type to gossip, and A Yunniang would not gossip about her, it was just that with regards to the Chen family, not mentioning how good the relationship between the few young wives were, and with regards to this matter to Mian Niang, A Yunniang had mentioned it to her.
“Then from now on, don’t worry about it anymore. No matter what others say, she just say it. We just have to listen.”
Madame Song Li nodded her head, “I wasn’t the kind of person who liked to criticize others, it’s just that I couldn’t help but retort when she talked too much. They only looked at people on the surface, how could they know what kind of person their bones were? Say, if Erniu’s wife wasn’t like that and got scolded in such a way, what would she do in this village? And your Aunt Chen, she insisted that she was tired, I think it was because of the anger, that caused her to be sick, what kind of person is your Aunt Chen, one who has a headache all year round, going down to the ground is more capable than men.
Madame Song Li did not realize that she had already treated her daughter as her pillar of support, as if she did not want Mian Niang to misunderstand, which was why she had such an explanation.
Mian Niang nodded her head: “That’s right, although the Aunt Chen’s family does not have a good relationship with us, but not to mention the rest, when our family gets into trouble, the Uncle Chen’s family will help us out as well. Not to mention that our two families have been on good terms with each other for so many years. ”
“Isn’t that the truth? But just tell me, if it’s anyone else, they would be very unhappy to have their son come looking for them. You said that Erniu and you never had anything, but the way they look, it seems like our family is holding on to their son.
Mian Niang laughed: “Don’t be upset, Mother, how can I tell you? Let’s think about everything and not think about such things, our family’s life is in a good direction right now right? The past is over. Let’s not think about it.
Besides, we’re all outsiders, so we might as well have heard it from someone else. Nobody knows the truth except the person in question, right? When it comes to this kind of thing, no matter if you are talking about it with your own eyes, ears, or even the person involved, you are more willing to believe what you think is the truth. ”
Song Zhien, who was standing outside, pushed open the door and entered the room. Hearing Sis A’s words, he showed off the idiom he had just learned: “Mother, I know, this is what Sir said, a barrier.”
“Child, I originally understood what your Sis A was saying, but with you dropping the bag, I actually don’t understand what’s going on.”
Mian Niang laughed and pulled Song Zhien to sit down to explain to her mother that she could make dinner.
Song Zhien rubbed his stomach, and said tenderly: “Sis A, I want to eat Stewed Frozen Tofu.”
“Yes, wait.”
Mian Niang nodded, then went to prepare dinner.
Song Zhien propped up his chin, explaining to Madame Song the meaning of a leaf obstructing the eye.
He recited the scripture like he was reciting it, speaking in earnest and in great detail.
Madame Song Li nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
“Do you understand?”
Madame Song Li shook her head. “I don’t understand.”
