Chapter 074 Just Want An Axe
Zhou Xiaomeng was stunned.
She meant it as a joke, but she didn't expect that the five husbands would overhear it.
She meant to explain, but she still lost her face after being rebuked so bluntly.
There was an unknown fire gathering in her chest, filling her and ready to be released at any time.
The two ladies saw that the situation was not good and quickly made things right.
"Hey, Xiaomeng was just joking with us. She praised you all in private, saying that she lived a very happy life with you."
But in fact, these two ladies felt quite sorry for Zhou Xiaomeng.
The husband in this family is good-looking, but he has a bad temper. In other words, Xiaomeng has a soft temper and doesn't care about it. If it were anyone else, he would have been slapped with a loud mouth.
Alas, not everyone can enjoy beautiful men.
Deep down in my heart I couldn't help but feel even more aggrieved for Xiaomeng.
Not only do you work hard to make money to support them, but you also have to tolerate their bad temper.
But they won't say it out loud, and if it causes trouble among others, they feel embarrassed in their hearts.
The eldest husband, Gu Tingzhi, suddenly came to his senses. He stopped his second brother, Gu Yezhi, from talking nonsense, and anxiously explained to Zhou Xiaomeng.
"Master, don't blame your second brother. He is just being stupid. He is treating me, not you."
"I can still tell whether it's towards you or me." Zhou Xiaomeng tried her best to breathe and suppress her anger, not wanting to make a scene on the street and make everyone lose face.
When she was almost calmed down, she reluctantly squeezed out for the sake of the anxious and crying elder husband, the third husband who was trying to smooth things over, the two young men who begged for mercy, and the young man who was babbling and waving at her.
A hint of smile comes.
"Okay, all your handkerchiefs have been sold out? You haven't eaten yet, Mrs. Zhao's wontons are really good. Come over and eat together."
"Yes, come quickly. I'll make some wontons for you. I'm sure you won't forget them after you eat them." Aunt Zhao winked at Aunt Zhou, and they persuaded her together.
In addition, Zhou Xiaomeng had already spoken, so Gu Tingzhi agreed.
The second child was still awkward, holding his neck and not even looking here, but he was still pulled over by the third and fourth children.
The two ladies made the wontons together, and they were soon ready and served to the table.
Eight people were divided into two tables.
The two ladies were at the same table with Zhou Xiaomeng and the boss.
The remaining two, three, four and five are at the same table.
Gu Tingzhi still said something to Zhou Xiaomeng, "Don't be like the second brother."
Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao looked at the eldest husband, the main wife, and felt that he was good-looking and had a good temper, and they were willing to talk to him.
Gu Tingzhi also smiled carefully and talked to the two ladies.
The atmosphere has relaxed a lot.
After talking for a while, the two ladies couldn't help but look at the four men at the other table and clicked their tongues.
The two talked in low voices.
"Xiaomeng and these husbands are really good-looking. Just now, they looked good-looking from a distance. Now, when you look up close, they are even more amazing. Look at their skin. It's so delicate, just like what Lao Du Tou had just done."
Just like the new tofu.”
"No, look at these eyebrows. I have lived so long and I have seen many good-looking men, but this is the first time I have seen such good-looking ones, and there are only five of them.
No wonder Xiaomeng is losing weight day by day, who can bear the kindness of this beauty?"
The two of them kept talking in a low tone, thinking they were careful enough, but they didn't know that they were born with loud voices. Even if they lowered their voices, they would still be heard.
The fourth and fifth children were young and their faces turned red with embarrassment when they were praised. They heard the two ladies say that they were thin because of their head of the family.
They felt wronged again.
The fourth child muttered in a low voice, "What does the owner's thinness have to do with us? We don't eat that much?"
This was originally an unconscious sentence, but it ended up making the second child worry too much.
He slapped the table with his hand, turned to look at the two ladies with wide eyes, and started to scold them without giving any face.
"You two old men have been peeking at our brothers and saying something about us. Don't you know you are ashamed?"
As soon as these words came out, the two ladies were stunned.
Although they also felt that something was wrong, they were at their age and had no ill intentions. If a young man pointed his nose at him and scolded him shamelessly, no matter how good-tempered they were, they would inevitably lose face.
Zhou Xiaomeng couldn't bear it any longer. She threw her chopsticks and stood up. Just as she was about to scold him, she saw the old man stand up first, rush to the second child and slap him in the face.
The force was not strong, but it still stunned the second child.
At this moment, everyone was as silent as a cicada.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The other wonton eaters stretched their necks to watch, but said nothing.
The eldest brother didn't expect that he would hit his second brother. He was a little distracted, but he still tried his best to explain with a smile.
"Two ladies, head of the family, don't blame the second brother. It's me who didn't educate him well. If you want to blame, blame me."
"What does it have to do with big brother? It's me..."
Although the second child was annoyed at being beaten by his elder brother, he did not resent his elder brother. He knew that he must have been reckless just now, and that was why his elder brother would take action against him.
And the big brother didn’t use much strength and it didn’t hurt at all.
He actually regretted it now, feeling that he shouldn't have said these words to that stinky woman's friend.
In fact, he could feel that they did not mean any harm.
But he didn't know what was wrong with him. He was very angry, probably because his elder brother didn't buy him an axe. He was resentful and couldn't hold it back now.
Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao were embarrassed to see things getting bigger and bigger.
If there are conflicts in this family, this person will not be happy.
They really felt sorry for Zhou Xiaomeng and didn't want her to be implicated by them. The two of them looked at each other and started to smooth things over tacitly.
"Look, these chopsticks are still on the floor. Let me wash them for you."
"Husband, stop standing and sit down to eat. It won't taste good after it gets cold."
"Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry, my husband's temper is just like this. He is very impulsive. He doesn't mean any harm."
For the sake of the old man, Zhou Xiaomeng endured it, signaled the old man to come over and sit down quickly, and explained to the two ladies.
"At our age, we still take this matter to heart. If we weren't already mad to death, it doesn't matter.
It's just that we are talking nonsense. We are used to fighting with you, and we thought your husband had the same temper as you and didn't care.
But they forgot that they were men and they would definitely not be able to hear these words.
You and your husbands, don't blame us for being abrupt."
"Two aunties, it's my fault for failing to educate my younger brother well. Don't blame the master of the house. My second younger brother has this temper, and he's not blaming you today.
Alas, speaking of it, he was actually targeting me."
"What's going on?"
Zhou Xiaomeng heard that there was something in the doctor's words.
"Well, it wasn't because he wanted an ax that I didn't buy it for him."
"Isn't there enough money?" Zhou Xiaomeng said, about to pay.
"That's enough. I went to sell yellow sheep today and got some money. I don't think it's necessary. It's only serious for a man to buy some rouge and gouache. What are you buying that for? It's not to cause trouble!"
"Brother, I don't need rouge gouache, I just want an axe. Brother, the fourth and fifth brothers want rouge gouache, just agree. I just want an axe. I've asked, and it's only better than rouge gouache."
Gouache is a little more expensive.
What's so good about rouge gouache? Once you use it up, it's gone.
But give me an ax. I can go up the mountain to cut down trees and sell them for money, and I can also hunt. Brother, I never asked you for anything before, I just want an ax, why are you not willing to buy it for me?"
The second child was very wronged. He rarely cried, but this time there were tears in his eyes.
But he was very stubborn and tried hard to restrain himself from letting them fall.
But this makes people feel even more aggrieved.
