There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 57
[Chapter 57, Discrimination]
sixteenth year of Yongxing differently. The Spring Festival of this year was the worst New Year for the Yan family.
Originally, because of the arrival of Mrs. Yan and Sanfang, this should be the most tidy year for the Yan family. However, from the end of the year to the beginning of the new year, the entire Yan family was shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere.
There is no way, Mrs. Yan, who is the highest in the family, and Mrs. Li, who holds financial power, are not happy, and the others are not happy even if they want to be happy.
When dealing with outsiders, for the face of the Yan family, Mrs. Li would take great care to arrange all kinds of New Year’s items; but for the Yan family’s own use, Mrs. Li was too perfunctory.
During the Chinese New Year in previous years, Mrs. Li would give each house a New Year’s gift. This year, let alone the New Year’s gift, there are some food, supplies, and clothes that are not prepared. There are many things that are temporarily sent out by the servants every day. bought.
But during the Chinese New Year, most of the shops are closed, so where can I buy a lot of things.
In this way, it’s no wonder that this year can be a good one!
It was also this time that everyone realized that Mrs. Li, who has always been virtuous and respectful, also had a fierce side. In the past, she didn’t care because she didn’t touch her bottom line.
Now that Daohua is here, her bottom line is also revealed.
This time Mrs. Li did it so obviously and mercilessly, she was telling the Yan family that her daughter was her bottom line, and whoever made her daughter unhappy, she would make everyone unhappy along with her.
New Year’s Eve.
The Yan family’s New Year’s Eve meal is also very ordinary, just some common chicken, duck and fish.
In previous years, no matter how busy she was, Mrs. Li would prepare a few special or delicate meals, but this year, there was none of them.
In this regard, although everyone did not show it on the surface, they were still very disappointed in their hearts.
Although the Yan family is the county magistrate’s family, their usual food and clothing costs are slightly better than ordinary families. Therefore, whether it is an adult or a child, they all look forward to eating better during the Chinese New Year.
Shuangxin Courtyard.
Aunt Lin stood alone at the gate of the courtyard, watching Yan Zhigao lead Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin out of the courtyard with long eyes.
“Go back to the house quickly. It’s very cold outside. After dinner, I’ll send someone to send Yishuang and Wenbin back to accompany you.” Yan Zhigao forcibly ignored the reluctance in Aunt Lin’s eyes. After saying this, he quickly He took a pair of children and left.
Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin looked back at Aunt Lin standing alone at the door looking at them, their eyes couldn’t help turning red.
Yan Wenbin grabbed Yan Zhigao: “Father, can’t we bring my aunt with me? During the New Year’s Eve dinner last year, my aunt also went.”
Yan Zhigao rubbed his forehead, not knowing what to say.
If he took Lin to Songheyuan today, not to mention his mother, even his wife, he would probably be blown up, and he would not even want to eat tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
He also didn’t expect that slapping his eldest daughter would elicit such a big reaction from his mother and wife.
Yan Yishuang said weakly: “Father, is it because of the big sister?”
Yan Zhigao rubbed Yan Yishuang’s head and sighed: “It has nothing to do with your big sister, let’s go, we are late, but There is no food left.” At the
gate of Shuangxin Courtyard, seeing that Yan Zhigao did not turn back to call her, Aunt Lin’s eyes flashed a trace of disappointment.
She expected that no matter how angry the old lady was, she would not lose face to her son; but she didn’t count, the lady was so decisive and merciless this time.
The Yan family’s family background is too weak, and Madam Li needs to preside over the daily expenses and management. Therefore, even if the master loves her, once Madam Li is firm, he will not disrespect her too much.
Therefore, it was only her who was wronged.
“No hurry, let’s take our time.” Aunt Lin’s eyes became firm. She didn’t believe that a man would allow himself to be suppressed by his wife. The more obvious Mrs. Li did now, the more disgusted the master would be in the future.
Look, the big girl she gave birth to, didn’t the master beat him just as he said?
At the same time, Songheyuan.
The people from the second room and the third room have already arrived, and they are accompanying Mrs. Yan to do daily chores.
The grandchildren tried their best to make the old lady happy, but unfortunately, the old lady kept looking at the gate of the courtyard absent-mindedly.
Yan Wenjie touched Yan Wenxiu who was beside him with his crutch, and said in a low voice: “Brother, why do you think our grandmother is different from other families? Which one of the old ladies in other families likes grandchildren more? Have a granddaughter?”
“That’s because the eldest sister is cute!”
Before Yan Wenxiu could speak, Yan Wenkai on the side took the conversation.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yan Wenjie sneered: “Pleasant? If the eldest sister is really pleasing, how could she be slapped by the uncle?”
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai stood up suddenly, angry He looked at Yan Wenjie furiously: “What do you mean?”
Yan Wenjie was not afraid of Yan Wenkai, so he snorted coldly, “Why am I wrong? My elder sister did something on her own, but she still refused to admit it. She was slapped by her uncle, and she still refused to admit it. Don’t admit it, it made it difficult for everyone to live a year.”
“Bang!”
Before Yan Wenjie could finish speaking, Yan Wenkai punched him and fell to the ground.
“I’ll tell you to talk nonsense, I’ll tell you to talk nonsense!”
Yan Wenkai saw Yan Wenjie fell to the ground, and immediately rode on him, his fists raining down, and he kept ‘crackling’ greeting him.
The incident happened so suddenly, and Yan Wenkai’s actions were too fast, Yan Wenjie was so beaten that he woke up screaming before the others could react.
“Wenjie!”
Seeing her son being beaten, Mrs. Sun rushed over immediately.
Seeing that he was about to fall on Yan Wenkai, Yan Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward, pulled Yan Wenkai up, threw him to his son Yan Wentao, and then went to help Yan Wenjie.
Yan Wenjie grinned and was helped up.
Yan Wenkai was not stupid, except for the first punch that hit Yan Wenjie in the face, everything else hit him, so Yan Wenjie seemed fine.
“Wen Kai, why did you beat your second brother?” Mrs. Sun questioned Yan Wenkai angrily.
Yan Wenkai: “Who told him to be mean and make up the big sister!”
Yan Wenjie rubbed his face and looked at Yan Wenkai angrily: “Where am I talking nonsense, isn’t it because of the big sister that we celebrate the New Year like this? She didn’t come in previous years How lively was it at home?”
“Look at how we celebrated this year. It’s fine if we don’t have new clothes, and what we eat is just ordinary food. Is this called New Year’s Eve? Fortunately, uncle is the head of a county. I don’t think we have A pawn’s family is doing well.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Even Sun and Yan Zhiyuan didn’t expect their usually alert son to say such words at this time.
The old lady Yan who was sitting on the step was even more angry, her hand shaking while pointing at Yan Wenjie.
When everyone was silent, Mrs. Li opened the curtain and walked in, looking at Yan Wenjie expressionlessly: “It seems that I, the person in charge of the family, is not as good as you, Second Young Master Yan!”
“So, from now on From now on, this family will be handed over to your mother, and you can do whatever you want, Second Young Master Yan, what do you think?”
Yan Wenjie faltered the moment Mrs. Li appeared, and immediately shrank behind his mother.
When he saw the bland New Year’s Eve dinner before, he felt a fire in his heart. When Yan Wenkai jumped out, he didn’t think much about it, and expressed all the irritability in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt heard it.
Mrs. Sun immediately stepped forward to make amends: “Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? The housekeeper doesn’t care about the house, don’t you know how much I have? Don’t dare to say such things again.
” He didn’t teach well, he lost his mind and went crazy today, I will punish him when I go back.” She wanted to be a housekeeper, but she didn’t have the money to support the Yan family’s expenses.
Dao Hua, who was following Mrs. Li, walked into the room at this moment, without looking at anyone else, went straight to the old lady’s step, and looked at the old lady with a smile: “Grandma.” A
smile appeared on the corner of the old lady Yan’s mouth: “Your second brother is talking nonsense, don’t listen to him.” Daohua
nodded with a smile, and the smile didn’t reach her eyes: “I know.”
Sun pushed Yan Wenjie: “Hurry up and apologize to your eldest sister ?”
Yan Wenjie stepped forward a little uncomfortable, and the person concerned heard bad things behind his back, which was very embarrassing.
“Big sister, I was playing with Wen Kai just now, and I didn’t mean to talk about you.”
Dao Hua also smiled and nodded, as if forgiving Yan Wenjie, but she didn’t say anything.
At this time, Yan Zhigao came with Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin.
Seeing Daohua sitting next to Mrs. Yan, both Yan Zhigao and Yan Yishuang felt a little uncomfortable.
Of the father and daughter, one slapped Daohua, and the other lied so that Daohua was slapped. It’s strange to see that the person concerned is at ease now.
Daohua glanced at the two of them lightly, then leaned into Old Madam Yan’s ear and said, “Grandmother, I just saw the second brother kick the fourth brother, I will take the fourth brother down to have a look now.
” Nodding: “Go and come back quickly.”
Daohua agreed with a smile, and then slipped out, dragging Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao away.
It wasn’t until she left Songheyuan that Daohua looked at Yan Wenkai with a smile and gave him a thumbs up: “Fourth brother, you looked so handsome when you beat Yan Wenjie just now.” Now she doesn’t even want to call out her second brother .
Yan Wenkai was instantly proud, and raised his head: “Really! Big sister, let me tell you, your fourth brother is amazing, don’t worry, I will beat anyone who dares to bully you in the future.”
Yan Wentao took over the words: “I can help too.”
Dao Hua looked at her two elder brothers with a smile, and her mood improved unconsciously: “Come on, I’ll make some delicious food for you.”
Hearing this, both Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao’s eyes lit up up.
In the courtyard.
Wang Man’er had already boiled a pot of water on the stove, and beside it were two round plates of white glutinous rice balls, one large and one small, and a jar of wine lees.
Seeing Daohua bring Yan Wenkai back, Wang Maner immediately smiled and asked, “Girl, can the glutinous rice balls be put into the pot?” Daohua
nodded: “Put the big one first.”
Wang Maner: “Yes.”
Daohua brought Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao back to her room: “Fourth brother, are your injuries okay?”
Yan Wenkai waved his hand: “It’s okay, Yan Wenjie doesn’t look older than me, but when it comes to fists and feet, five of them are not you Fourth Brother’s opponent.” After speaking, he moved his gaze outside the house.
“Big sister, can I have a bowl of distiller’s grains alone?” Daohua
shook her head, “No, I’m going to watch the New Year’s Eve tonight. What if you get drunk? Eat glutinous rice balls later.”
Yan Wenkai nodded sullenly: ” Well then, but I have to say first, I want to eat two big bowls of glutinous rice balls.”
“Okay!”
Dao Hua said with a smile, “Tonight you and third brother just open your stomachs and eat.”
Immediately, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao were happy Then I stared helplessly at the glutinous rice balls in the pot.
After the first pot was cooked, the two were about to scoop it up, but they were stopped by Daohua: “This pot is not for you.”
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao were stunned at the same time, and then they saw Wang Maner divide the glutinous rice balls into bowls.
Afterwards, Daohua cooked the small rice balls herself.
After the glutinous rice balls were cooked, Wang Man’er started to put the bowls again.
Daohua: “Don’t make a mistake.” Wang Man’er
said with a smile: “Girl, don’t worry, I will serve it to the table myself, and I guarantee that there will be no mistakes.”
, secretly ate a glutinous rice ball from the front pot.
“No problem?”
Yan Wenkai scratched his head, and then quickly ate a glutinous rice ball that came out later, his eyes widened immediately.
The two plates of glutinous rice balls look exactly the same, but the taste is very different.
He knew what the eldest sister was going to do.
Counting the five bowls of glutinous rice balls that came out later, Yan Wenkai thought, the elder sister really broke up with her father, and she didn’t even eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
Yan Wenkai thought about it, and felt that this was not good.
Although the father slapped the eldest sister, it was their father. As children, can they really be separated from their own father just because of a slap in the face?
“Big sister.”
Wang Man’er left with glutinous rice balls before she could utter her words of persuasion.
Daohua turned her head and saw that Yan Wenkai hadn’t eaten, she was surprised and said, “Fourth Brother, don’t the glutinous rice balls suit your taste?”
Yan Wenkai shook his head: “No. ” Daohua
: “Then eat it quickly!” Pick up his own bowl and start eating.
Yan Wentao at the side saw Yan Wenkai scratching his head and ears, and said in a low voice, “You have to let Daohua express the anger in your heart. Besides, this time, uncle did something wrong.”
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai had no choice but to nod his head, not to replace him . Focus on eating this matter.
Songheyuan.
Everyone was talking while eating snacks.
“Old lady, madam, the eldest girl asked me to bring you glutinous rice balls.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan’s face beamed with joy: “I’m just waiting for her glutinous rice balls. Come on, bring them to the old lady to taste. Look at the rice balls.” Has the handicraft of flowers improved?”
Wang Man’er calmly handed out the glutinous rice balls.
“Yeah~”
“That’s right, I think the rice flower craftsmanship is better than last year.”
Seeing the satisfied face of the old lady Yan, Yan Zhigao and the second room were a little puzzled.
To be honest, they were a little disappointed with the glutinous rice balls tonight. Compared with the food made by Daohua before, it was too ordinary.
It can be seen that Mrs. Li and the three people in the third room all agree with each other, and others find it strange.
Even if you want to hold rice flowers, you don’t need to live like this, right?
It’s just an ordinary glutinous rice ball, but they feel like they are eating delicacies from mountains and seas.
Seeing Mrs. Sun looking straight at her, Mrs. Li asked, “Why, the glutinous rice balls don’t taste like younger siblings?” Mrs.
Sun immediately shook her head.
Mrs. Li looked away, and then seriously tasted the glutinous rice balls made by her daughter again.
too delicious!
Seeing Mrs. Li’s expression of enjoyment, and Mrs. Wu’s as well, Mrs. Sun was amazed. She just found out today that her two sisters-in-law are as good at acting as the old lady.
Yan Zhigao and Yan Zhiyuan also had the same thought in their hearts. Of course, the object of their exclamation was Yan Zhiqiang.
Unexpectedly, the third child, who usually looks honest and honest, can display such superb acting skills in order to please his mother, I am convinced, I am really convinced!
