C28 The Two Elders of the Liu Family Came to Visit

On this day, both Shi Soong and Shi Jin made a mental note for Xu Wennyuan.

I'll deal with him next time.

Xu Wennyuan, who was at home, sneezed a few times. He rubbed his nose and muttered a few words, which were heard by his father again.

In the end, he couldn't help but say it out loud.

The ruckus caused by the old Zhang Family in the [Hundred Herbs Hall] quickly spread to all corners of the land. Everyone now knew that there was an old shrew in Begonia Village who was harsh on the big house and beat her until she felt like it.

The news had reached the Lau Family.

The two elders of the Lau Family were so anxious that their mouths started bubbling.

Zhang Qiao had been beaten and scolded in public, and she was the one who had broken off the engagement. When they heard this, they all felt as if their hearts had been scorched.

That morning, Old Man Liu put on the ox-cart and Old Mrs Lau packed her bags. The two elders rushed towards the Begonia Village in a hurry.

"Dacheng, Cuihua."

In the room, Madam Lau pushed Zhang Dacheng, "Boss, I think I heard my mother's voice."

Zhang Dacheng: "I heard it too."

Madam Lau exclaimed and quickly got up to leave. As expected, there was an oxcart parked in front of the courtyard, and her parents were unloading it.

"Father, Mother, why have you come?" "Before I came, I didn't send any message, so that I could meet you at the village entrance." Madam Lau yelled as she walked out, "Head, Qiao, Ah Qian, your grandma and grandma are here!"

The two sisters hurriedly ran out of the room.

"Grandpa, grandma."

Old Mrs Lau stuffed the items into Madam Lau's hands, walked up a few steps and hugged Zhang Qiao, "My Qiao, I heard that you were sick, but that really made Grandma worry." "Come, let Grandma see."

Zhang Qiao stepped back with a smile.

Old Mrs Lau looked him up and down with a pained expression.

"He's still well, how did he suddenly get sick?"

"Grandma, let's talk inside."

"Alright!"

Zhang Qiao held onto Old Mrs Lau's arm. Although Old Mrs Lau was slightly surprised by the intimacy they had never felt before, she enjoyed it.

A smile blossomed on his face.

Zhang Dacheng and Madam Lau helped Old Man Liu carry the stuff into the house. Madam Lau looked at the things in the yard and said, "Father, mother, you must have brought all your family assets here, right?"

Three laying hens, two laying ducks, and a nest of chickens and ducklings.

A big bag of dried beans.

Two sacks of potatoes.

There was also a bag of rice, a bag of white flour, a bag of cornmeal, several large pieces of bacon, a basket of eggs and a basket of duck eggs.

Finally, there was a pot of lard.

Madam Lau was right when she said that they were the family assets of the Lau Family Elders. Not all of it, but half of it.

In the minds of the Lau Family two elders, their daughter's family life had always been bad. These past few years, they had also tried everything they could to get her to stay with them.

Madam Lau had a big brother in her family who had a lot of fields and lived close to the lake. Every year, he would raise many chickens, ducks and geese, and his days were pretty good.

Her elder sister-in-law was an honest woman. She knew that her younger sister's family wasn't well off, so she didn't mind her parentage.

Sometimes she helped.

Madam Lau had two older sisters, but they were both married out of the country. Their older sister had passed away the year before yesterday, and Second Sister was already a grandmother.

The two Lau Family Elders were the most worried. The one who was the most worried was Begonia Village's daughter.

Old Mrs Lau pulled Zhang Qian onto her lap and sat her down. "Where's that?" What was this supposed to be? "Besides, your big brother doesn't lack these things. If I don't give them to you, who else can I give them to?"

Zhang Qiao went to the kitchen to make chrysanthemum tea and put some sugar in it.

"Grandpa, grandma, you two drink water."

The two elders took the bowl and smelled the strong scent of chrysanthemum. Old Mrs Lau asked, "Is this the water from the chrysanthemum bubble?"

Madam Lau quickly responded, "Yeah, Qiao brought us to pick some chrysanthemums a few days ago and sold them under the sun to earn some money. Qiao left these for her family to drink. Oh, right, Qiao said that the chrysanthemum pillow can calm the mind, and she even made one for each parent. When I went to the town to sell my chrysanthemums that day, I wanted to visit my parents, but later on, something happened and I didn't manage to do it. "

Old Mrs Lau put down her bowl and asked angrily: "What's the matter? "Don't think that we don't know. We heard that your in-laws caused trouble at the Medicine Hall, beat you up, and even scolded us, Qiao, for being pushed around for an entire day and night."

Madam Lau let out a hollow laugh. "Mom, you know all about it?"

Old Mrs Lau harrumphed, "Who in this town doesn't know about the crudeness of Begonia Village? Who didn't know that Qiao had saved quite a number of people by suppressing her frightened horse? Cuihua, if you have something on, why don't you send us a message.

Madam Lau's eyes reddened.

The feeling of being pained by her parents and protected by her parents caused her to feel wronged, and all of a sudden, it rushed up to her.

Zhang Dacheng was embarrassed.

Old Mrs Lau looked at him and could not help but grumble, "Dacheng, it's not that we are unreasonable, but your parents are too outrageous. Don't be unhappy if I say something to you today. You are also someone who has a daughter. If your daughter is bullied, how can you not be angry? "

Zhang Dacheng shook his head, "It will definitely get out of hand. Mother, I was also in the wrong in this matter. I didn't manage to deal with them properly and let Cuihua and Qiao suffer a grievance. "

Old Mrs Lau: "What's the use of knowing your wrongs? How many of them must you protect? As a husband, as a father, you can't keep thinking about your responsibilities as a son, right? "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Dacheng kept saying yes.

Madam Lau's heart ached for him, so she changed the topic.

"Mom, drink some water and taste Qiao's chrysanthemum tea." She eagerly looked at Old Man Liu and said, "Dad, you try it too."

Old Mrs Lau stared at her, "You, ah, you only know how to feel for Dacheng. Do you know that your dad and I were so anxious last night and we haven't slept at all. Now, our mouths are full of bubbles?" No conscience. "

Madam Lau's tears fell when she heard this.

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry!" I made you worry. "

Old Man Liu sipped some chrysanthemum tea and said, "It tastes good, it's sweet and has a strong chrysanthemum flavour." He looked at Madam Lau and said, "Ah Hua, being the worried son of your parents is a normal thing to do. Don't say anything. If you really feel unfilial, then do your best to lead a good life, so that Father and Mother won't worry about you anymore. "

Madam Lau nodded while wiping away her tears.

Old Man Liu lectured Zhang Dacheng again.

Zhang Dacheng agreed and had a good attitude.

At noon, the two Lau Family Elders asked Zhang Dacheng to invite the two Zhang Family Elders to come over for lunch. Elder Zhang and his wife didn't have any reason to decline since they were family members.

Old Mrs Lau, Madam Lau, and Zhang Qiao were cooking in the kitchen.

Zhang Leeding was very happy when he heard that his grandpa and grandma had come to chop firewood.

Zhang Qiao said, "Big brother, go to the river bank and fish up some river prawns. I'll prepare a dish for grandpa at noon."

Zhang Leeding responded and quickly took the dustpan to the river to fish the prawns.

There were many prawns in the river, but no one usually ate them.

The fish in the river, on the other hand, were missed every day. In the river, not even a few young ones were to be seen.

Their family didn't eat it before, but Zhang Qiao scooped some and cooked it and dried it and put it in the soup for fresh use.

As a result, they all loved to eat.

This became a common dish in their family.

Old Mrs Lau, who was sitting in front of the stove, started a fire and asked with a smile, "Qiao, what dishes are you cooking for us at noon? Then how can the prawns in the river be made into dishes for drinking wine? "
