Chapter 113 Most Fearful
Seeing Chen Afu's expression, Mrs. Chen thought that Chen Shi was afraid that Mrs. Hu would open his mouth again and didn't dare to come back. He didn't have the heart to think about Wang and Chen Afu's mother and daughter anymore, and scolded Hu, "You are more diligent than anyone else when you go back to your old Hu's house, but you come to my son's house and sit like a Bodhisattva. If you don't go over and light the fire, Are you still waiting for my son to serve you?"
Mrs. Hu was so angry that she had no choice but to sit in front of the stove and light the fire.
Chen Ye has been unhappy since the incident with the two parrots. These days, she not only coaxes Chen Ye, but also dares not talk too much and cause trouble. Chen Ye's attitude towards her has just become better. However, he never helped Lao Hu's family again. One time, Hu Laowu asked his father and son to go to Hu's house for a drink. Chen Ye didn't go, and Chen Agui wasn't allowed to go either.
Hu Laowu could put down his arrogance to please those who were more powerful than him, but he could not put down his arrogance to please Chen Ye. Today, the relationship between the two families is no longer as close as before.
Mrs. Chen doesn't want to see anyone as long as her eldest son doesn't want to see anyone, not to mention that she has always hated Mrs. Hu in her heart. Therefore, Mr. Hu's life at home is not easy now. He keeps his tail between his legs tightly at all times, and if he does something bad, he will be scolded by two people.
She didn't dare to offend the old lady, so she had to give Chen Afu a hard look.
After cutting the braised meat first, Mrs. Chen led a few men to sit on the kang and drink wine. Then she called Dahu, Alu and Dabao into the house to eat. Chen Afu and her daughter were busy in the kitchen making noodles and fried leeks and eggs.
Since Chen Afuhui started making money, Dabao's status in the Chen family has been rising steadily. Now not only does he not have to sit in front of the stove to make a fire, he can also sit on the kang and eat meat like Dahu.
Mrs. Hu didn't dare to go to the table to eat as before, so she sat in front of the stove and continued to light the fire. When she saw the old lady entering the house, she whispered, "Brothers and sisters, there is something new going on in our village. Oh, it's so unpleasant..."
Mrs. Wang was cutting noodles, and after hearing Mrs. Hu's words, she looked up and asked, "What's new?"
Chen Afu was frying eggs. After listening to Hu's words, he knocked hard on the edge of the pot with a shovel.
The harsh sound startled Madam Hu, and she cursed, "Damn girl, you're scared to death. Are you stupid and haven't recovered yet, so you're not afraid of knocking the pot over with so much force?"
Mrs. Wang was unhappy when she heard Mrs. Hu scolding her daughter. She is now often brainwashed by Chen Afu, telling her that Mrs. Hu is the master who bullies the weak and fears the strong. What's more, Hu Laowu no longer dares to offend his own family, there is really no need to be angry with her anymore.
So she said to Mrs. Hu with a serious face, "Sister-in-law, my Ah Fu's illness has been cured long ago. Now he is both diligent and filial. He is much better than some girls in other families. Can you please stop talking about stupid things? Talking about it?"
Hu wanted to continue talking, but was startled again when Chen Afu knocked on the pot.
Chen Afu glanced at her coldly and said, "Uncle, this time we went to the third uncle's house, but we heard a lot of things. Do you need me to talk to my uncle about it?"
After hearing this, Mr. Hu snorted and didn't dare to speak.
When the noodles are cooked, put them into a large basin and bring them in. After entering the house, Chen Afu discovered that Chen Aju was also in the house. She had been sitting on the stool behind the door without making a sound, so she didn't know that she was here too.
For her to "condescend" to come here today, she must have wanted to see what gifts the wealthy second bedroom had brought back, and she also wanted to hear about Chen Aman. Chen Aju and Chen Aman are about the same age. Chen Aju is the most dissatisfied that Chen Aman is from the city. Every time she goes back to her hometown, she dresses better than she does, and more people praise her than herself.
Several women sat on the big table underground and ate.
Mrs. Wang talked about the current situation of Chen Shi's family and said that they had a good business selling braised skewers, but she didn't say how much money they made. He also talked about Chen Afu becoming the master needleworker of Tangyuan and designing clothes for the colorful embroidery workshop opened by Chu Mansion.
Seeing Mrs. Hu and Chen Aju's eyes red with jealousy, Chen Afu was very amused.
Chen Ye and Mrs. Chen were very happy after hearing this. Especially when I heard that the braised meat on the table was braised by Chen Shi's family. Now he is making money from this braised meat business and has become the steward of the General's Mansion. I am very happy.
The needlework master Chen Afu was even more happy and surprised that Chen Afu became the little master of Tangyuan. He said that no one in the village would dare to mess with the old Chen family anymore. Of course, I secretly thought that Chen Afu should never run to recognize his biological father. Now, what these two people fear most is that Chen Afu knows that he is not Chen Ming's biological flesh and blood, and goes to Gaozhi to recognize his biological father. The old Chen family has raised her in vain for so many years.
Chen Ye was happy and drank a little too much. Not only his face was red, but his eyes were also red. He sighed, "If I had known that Ah Fu was so capable, I would not have worked as a long-term laborer for the Hu family for so many years for free. When Hu was a child, for the sake of A Guiniang, I helped him. . But when he grew up, he didn’t do anything, and he asked me to work for his family. At that time, I thought, although Hu Laowu is a bastard, he has a good brain and is around. I thought that after I helped him so much, he would be able to take care of our old Chen family, but I never expected that he would not recognize me and put his plan on my old Chen family's head, and would not give it to me. A little face. Bah, what the hell..."
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and later he started to scold Mrs. Hu again. Chen Agui quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, don't be angry. You already said that my uncle disowns his relatives, so why are you angry? I just don't let him be a long-term laborer for free in the future."
Mrs. Hu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and did not dare to speak.
Chen Afu interjected and said some words about how capable Chen Ayu is, how Chen Atang is good at reading, and how diligent, beautiful and lovable Chen Aman is.
Old lady Chen smiled and said, "Those three children are really lovely."
After hearing this, Chen Ye said to Chen Aju, "Look, Aman is younger than you, and she does all the work at home. You should learn from her. A girl of this age should also do something."
Old lady Chen also said, "You should have learned to do it a long time ago. A girl of this age can't do anything. What will you do when you go to your husband's house in the future? Your mother spoils you at your natal family, but your mother-in-law and man won't spoil you in the future."
After dinner, Chen Afu and Wang took out the things that they and the third room gave to the first room and the old lady. Chen Afu saw Hu and Chen Aju's eyes shining.
The silver hairpin for the old lady, the jade-mouthed pipe for Chen Ye, and the silver cloves for Chen Alan were the most eye-catching, and the old lady and Chen Ye were so happy that they grinned. The silver cloves for Chen Alan were the ones that Chen Afu bought for himself. Later, thinking that Alan would get married in more than a month, he decided to give them to her. I also told the old lady that I bought this pair of earrings for Alan because she was going to get married.
I also took out the silk I bought for Old Lady Chen, Chen Ye and Chen Agui, the satin clothes of Chen Daya, and the silk clothes made by Chen Shi for the old lady and Chen Ye, as well as some food. The food was not only from the prefecture, but also from the provincial capital and even the capital.
