Chapter 26 Chapter 86 The Consonance Between Men

The mother-in-law of the Liu family rushed to the door of Dong's house in a hurry, but she hesitated a little.What Sao Zhu'er said was vague, whether it was what she was thinking or not, I really didn't know.My man is in charge of the Ding family, and he is a famous person outside, if he makes a mistake, wouldn't he lose his lord?Besides, Mrs. Dong's mother-in-law is not a good scumbag, if she can't get any proof, she will come to provoke her for no reason, but there will be endless troubles. But even though she thought this way in her heart, if she didn't see what happened with her own eyes, the thorn would not be able to be pulled out after all, so she gritted her teeth and bit the bullet and walked to the gate of Dong's house.

A few neighbors' children were standing outside the threshold looking into the yard, laughing and picking up some small stones and throwing them in from time to time. When they saw an adult approaching, the children rushed away. The lady of the Liu family looked into the yard, and saw the Dong family's wife kneeling upright in the yard, with a wooden basin on her head, filled with water, holding the basin with both hands, trembling with pain. Water overflowed from time to time, and there were some small stones around her, which must have been thrown at her by those ignorant children.

The mother-in-law of the Liu family made a mistake when she saw it: Don't I think it's wrong?Mrs. Dong was kneeling there, and there were a group of children watching the fun at the door. There were people coming and going in this day and night. How dare the ghost sneak into the widow's bed and do such absurd things in broad daylight? Thinking of this, the mother-in-law of the Liu family still entered the courtyard, pretending to be surprised and said: "Oh, Miss Dong, what crime did you commit to be punished by the mother-in-law?"Get up quickly, I will beg for you, where is Mrs. Dong and Li, in the house?As she spoke, she looked around the room.

ah!It turned out that it was Aunt Liu, Luo Dong'er, who raised her hands high and supported the wooden basin on her head. She was so tired that her face was flushed and her hands and feet were sore and weak. The mother-in-law allowed it, but the servants did not dare to get up The mother-in-law of the Liu family couldn't wait any longer, she snatched the wooden basin from Luo Dong'er's head, put it aside, and said, "Miss Dong, get up, my aunt wants to talk to Dong Lishi, you go and ask her to come out." Ding Hao and Sao Zhuer happened to be walking to the gate at this time, just seeing this scene in their eyes, Ding Hao's blood surged up, his hands clenched tightly, and Sao Zhuer said angrily: "You are so unreasonable, Mrs. Dong Li! When a girl marries into her house, is she a slave or a handmaid?To be such a bitch!

Ding Hao suppressed his anger and said: "Don't lose your sense of proportion, go in and quarrel now, it will make you and me happy, but Mrs. Dong will suffer more, and she will endure it for a while." Seeing Aunt Liu's speech, Dong's wife thought that her mother-in-law would not make things difficult for her in the presence of outsiders, so she responded, stood up and walked into the house.Her knees were sore and numb, coupled with some timidity, she was trembling and unable to walk. Mother-in-law, Aunt Liu's family asks you to come out and talk. Who got you bitch up?Mrs. Dong and Li suddenly rushed out from the main room, and was about to slap her. The Liu family mother-in-law hurriedly shouted: "Sister Dong's family."

Dong Lishi seemed to see her just now, and stopped angrily and said: "Yo'er, isn't this the sister of the Liu family? She doesn't see her usually, so why come to my house today when you have time?" The mother-in-law of the Liu family forced a smile and said, "Sister Dong, I have something to ask for my boss, I heard he is here with you?" Dong Li's complexion changed slightly, and she felt a little flustered. She wanted to deny it, but she didn't know where Liu's mother-in-law got the news. If her news came from a solid source, wouldn't it be self-defeating if she categorically denied it?

Just when he was at a loss, he saw Ding Hao and Xun Zhuer walk in, Dong Lishi took the opportunity to change the subject and exploded at them: What is the manager of Ding's family doing at my house?Sister Liu, look, I taught my daughter-in-law a lesson, and they said I was mean, do you think this is a girl chasing after others?I just beat and scolded a few words here, and the wild man came to protect the thief woman, saying that they have wronged them by flirting with each other? Sao Zhu'er said angrily: "Could it be that you have lost your mind, you bitch? Why do you bite people when you see them?"

Mrs. Dong Li was still a bit afraid of Ding Hao, but she was not afraid of Xun Zhuer at all. When she heard this, her face turned purple, and she said savagely: "The village says that my daughter-in-law is lazy, disobedient, and just like some rascals." I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't believe it. Now, you have seen the situation, Sister Liu's family. It's not enough to have a hookup, and there are still people to help, but this hoof will show off in front of outsiders skillful How can I have Luo Dong'er's reluctant excuse: I have been taught by my mother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law dare not go out easily. Today, she was ordered by her mother-in-law to send embroidery back to Ding's house. The daughter-in-law is ignorant, and she doesn't know where she made a mistake again.

Still want to talk loudly?Dong Lishi was furious, rushed forward and grabbed her by the hair, and beat her face with a bluff: "Little bitch, is there someone backing you up? I told you to go to Ding's needle workshop to pick up more work, but you are fine." , It took a long time to go, and I came back empty-handed.I think you don't have the heart to take care of housework now, you just want to meet your wild man! Ding Hao looked on coldly, and saw that Dong Li's cheeks were flushed, his temples were disheveled, there were slight sweat marks on his temples, and the waist of his skirt was not straightened out. When he was chasing Luo Dong'er just now, the sleeves of his skirt flew up, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes with piles of cloth socks inside. At the ankle, it seemed that he had put it on in a hurry and hadn't fastened it properly, so he began to worry about it, knowing that what Liu Ming said was probably true.

Now that he has confidence, he is no longer afraid. Seeing Dong Lishi grabbing Luo Donger's hair and slapping her head and face, he immediately leaps forward and grabs her wrist. Thinking about Liu Shiyi's backing anyway, he immediately screamed: "What are you doing, in broad daylight, are you going to bully me, a widow?" The veins on Ding Hao's forehead had popped up, but he grinned and said slowly: Mrs. Dong Li, you are right, I want to bully you, a widow, in broad daylight.If it's midnight, if you beg me, I won't come. Dong Lishi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and was about to say more when Ding Hao raised his hand and took a peek at her hideous face. He slapped his mouth open, and with a slap, half of Dong Lishi's face Immediately passed away, Luo Dong'er was crying, seeing Ding Hao's fierce appearance, she froze in fright.

Dong Lishi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly opened his throat and howled: "Beat me, the steward of Ding's family bullied me, a woman!" Before he could say the word family, Ding Hao slapped his backhand, another loud slap across the face, the other half of Dong Li's face was also numb, his cheeks were red and swollen, like a hozen, he couldn't even speak out. Then Ding Hao sneered and said: Do you still know that I am the steward of the Ding family?On Women's Day of Honoring Their Names, why don't men honor their reputations?Three times five times, five times and three times, you shrew splashed my sewage and ruined my reputation, can't I beat you?The Ding family is a family of scholars and heirs of poetry and etiquette. As the steward of the Ding family, he should protect the reputation of the Ding family.You spread rumors to make troubles and gossip indiscriminately, not only ruining my Ding Hao's reputation, but also ruining the Ding family's reputation.I'll forgive you once, you didn't know how to behave, and instead got worse, when did this Ding family village allow your Dong family to be so domineering? He scolded fiercely, and at the same time made secret gestures to Sang Zhuer. Sang Zhuer saw his gesture and immediately walked towards the door. Ding Hao was originally a small clerk in the street community, and he was used to taking advantage of the situation. He slapped him twice, but he never mentioned Luo Dong'er. Instead, he lifted the Ding family out with every word.Not to mention that Dong Li's popularity is extremely poor, no one stood up for her, even if there were people watching and sympathized with her as a woman, the people in the village lived by the Ding family, and they would definitely not stand up for her. It's no fun. The mother-in-law of the Liu family saw that Ding Hao was so angry, she originally wanted to go forward to persuade him, but when she heard Ding Hao kept saying that he wanted to seek justice for the Ding family, she felt scruples, so it was inconvenient to come forward.In a blink of an eye, she saw Xun Zhu'er sneaking towards the door of the main room, and suddenly remembered her purpose of coming here, so she also left Mrs. Dong and walked towards the main room step by step. Liu Shishi was fully dressed at this time, sitting in Dong Li's main room, feeling like fifteen buckets fetching water in his heart, fidgeting and fidgeting.He wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and go out the door, pretending that he only knew that his wife was looking for him, but he dared not stand up after all because of his guilty conscience, and hoped that Dong Lishi would prevaricate his mother-in-law, that would be more appropriate.Luckily, Liu Shiyi was secretly making preparations. When he was at a loss, Xun Zhuer pushed the door, and a big head poked in. The two eyes met, and they stared wide-eyed. The picture is on the surface. Seeing the expression on Xun Zhu'er's face, Liu's mother-in-law couldn't hold back anymore, she hurried over and pushed Xun Zhu'er away, and saw her man holding a cup of tea and sitting in the hall with his legs crossed, she couldn't help shouting: "Master, you really here? When Dong Li heard the voice, his complexion suddenly changed, and Ding Hao shouted loudly at the right time: "The construction of a canal in Bazhou Prefecture, which passes through Dingjiazhuang, is for the benefit of the village. Who will benefit from all the farmers in Dingjiazhuang?"Steward Ben, Steward Liu, and Zhen Baozheng are working tirelessly on this matter, and they have already recruited all the manpower, and they will go to work tomorrow to dig the river.But there are still a few skillful cooks missing, and I don't know if Guanshi Liu has arranged for it. I am very anxious about this matter. I heard that he is coming to your house, so I came here to ask.The steward works hard for the village, there is no credit but hard work, you mother-in-law is ungrateful, instead barking at everyone like a mad dog, tell me, should you beat me? cough!What are you doing here?Liu Shiyi's heart was beating wildly and his legs were trembling. When he saw his wife's appearance, he was so startled that he almost jumped up, but when he heard Ding Hao's words, he suddenly sat back calmly and his heart pounded. , fell back into his stomach from his throat, and a layer of cold sweat on his back had already soaked his skirt Master, you are indeed here, what are you doing at Dong Li's house?The mother-in-law of the Liu family was shocked and angry, and she had already thought of the most terrible result in her mind. Unexpectedly, Liu Shishi rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "The village needs strong men to dig rivers and repair canals, and there is a shortage of cooks. I figured that the young lady of Dong's family is good at cooking, so I came to discuss with her mother-in-law. What are you doing here? Is there something urgent at home? The mother-in-law of the Liu family still couldn't clear up her doubts after thinking about it, so she asked again: Since you want to recruit Miss Dong as a cook, why do you ignore her kneeling outside and just talk to her mother-in-law in the room? Nonsense, other people's housework, why should we bother with it?Liu Shiyi stood up displeased, and scolded, "It's not like you don't know how unruly Mrs. Dong is. I don't know what to do with that business. Besides, there are so many gossips about Mrs. Dong in the village. Her daughter-in-law took her to the river, all of them were strong men, only three or five women, her mother-in-law can rest assured?If she doesn't let her calm down, she will let him go?Didn't I just try to persuade you? Just now, when I heard the commotion outside, I thought the neighbor was here to intercede for Mrs. Dong, but unexpectedly it was you. You rushed to find me like a fire. What's the matter? Me and I, Liu's mother-in-law reflected the words of her man and Ding Hao's words, and immediately believed them almost 80%, the momentum disappeared immediately, and she couldn't help being speechless. Seeing this, Liu Shishi became more calm. He snorted heavily, put the teacup on the table, and reprimanded him with the prestige of the head of the family: You, you have nothing to do at home, and you will think wildly all day long. That little narrow-mindedness, I still don't understand?I'm too lazy to tell you about this in front of outsiders!After speaking, he walked out of the house. The mother-in-law of the Liu family followed behind awkwardly, eating and saying: "Master, in fact, I didn't make any foolish calculations. I came because my mother-in-law asked you to go home for dinner."
