Chapter 225 (1/2)
Although Xia erhu complained about Wang last time, he felt that Wang offended his mother and was not sensible. However, when Wang really ran away with a man, his heart seemed to lack a hole. For a moment, he felt as if he was going to suffocate. His character was a bit tougher than usual.
Of course, he attributed Wang's escape to Fang's abuse. He felt that he was so good to Wang. How could Wang leave himself? Yes, that's right. Fang must have abused Wang before Wang left his house.
Hey, why are you so miserable? He was an older young man. He finally found a daughter-in-law, but he ran away again.
Fang's eyes flashed and said, ”son, my mother must be closest to you and love you most. What does it matter if a woman runs away? Just wait for my mother to find you another one.”
With these words, Fang ran out and left Xia erhu alone at home.
Xia erhu involuntarily walked into the bedroom next to the pigsty.
As soon as he entered, he was fumigated by the stench and nearly vomited out.
He took the kerosene lamp and saw that all the clothes and quilts in the room were moldy. Many of them had grown a foot of hair and couldn't wear at all.
The once humble but warm room looks like a haunted house.
He walked towards the pigsty again. As soon as he saw the pig excrement accumulated in the pigsty a foot thick, he almost didn't faint. It was really disgusting.
Xia erhu is a filial son. Next, he takes a broom and starts cleaning. After cleaning, his feet are covered with clothes and feces, which stinks.
After Xia erhu came out, because he didn't have a change of clothes, he came to Chen's house and said, ”sister-in-law, can you lend me a big brother's clothes? The clothes in my house are moldy and there is no change of clothes.”
Chen first pretended not to hear it. Later, seeing Xia erhu's perseverance, he had to say, ”erhu, your eldest brother has only two clothes. Unfortunately, the other one has just been washed. Go and find the third man's clothes and change them. The third man's clothes are good and many. How can you have a lot of one for you?”
Since Chen said so, and Chen closed the house, Xia erhu had no choice but to walk towards Chen Sanhu's house.
”Third brother, lend me a dress. I cleaned the pigsty just now. My clothes were dirty.”
Xia Sanhu's gloomy voice came, ”my clothes are all worn by scholars. Can you wear such clothes? Xia erhu, you have to wear clothes to find your own clothes.”
Xia erhu stayed outside his house for a while. Helpless, he had to carry a basin and start washing moldy clothes in the house.
When Xia erhu was busy, when he hung his clothes, it was evening. At this time, he was already tired and hungry. After all, he didn't eat lunch at all. After returning home, he worked all day hungry. He was really too tired.
But
With the sound of ”Tengteng” footsteps, Xia Shikang, carrying a hoe, went home outside the house.
Xia Shikang took a look at Xia erhu and then looked at the chicken excrement piled up in the yard. He couldn't help but get angry and said, ”erhu, why don't you sweep the chicken excrement in the yard? Is it nice to pile chicken excrement like this?”
Xia erhu had been busy all day, but he could only say, ”Dad, I'm going to sweep now.”
While Xia erhu was sweeping the floor, Fang showed off enough of her fat under the big banyan tree in the village outside the house, and then came home.
Looking at Xia erhu sweeping chicken excrement and urine in the yard, he couldn't help saying, ”erhu, my mother's old arms and legs are too tired. I won't cook today. Go and cook.”
After hearing this, Xia erhu stiffened and said, ”Mom, I'm sweeping the floor, and I'm a man. How can I get into the kitchen?”
”Do evil, I have raised something unfilial. I really have a hard life...”
Xia erhu finally went to the kitchen to wash dishes and cook.
