Troubled World Merchant

Chapter 17

When it was almost noon, Duan Jintang's sisters arrived one by one. The eldest sister, the second sister and the second brother-in-law, one of the daughters was already married, so she didn't follow her again. The third sister was the only one who married out of town, and she only came here once a year. , with a little nephew.Fifth Sister is still the most flamboyant one, dressed in a blue brocade cheongsam, covered with a fiery red fox fur shawl, high-heeled shoes swaying step by step, Fifth Sister-in-law follows carefully, lest she fall, but she wears high heels After more than ten years of practice, she has already practiced like a stilt walker. She stumbles and does not fall. Duan Jintang recognized her at a glance before she got close. , Of course, he always wins every time, Fifth Sister hates him every time and grinds her teeth.

The fourth sister and the fourth brother-in-law arrived later, and the brother-in-law was behind. The fourth sister held the hands of the two children. Duan Jintang came up to meet her and helped her pick up one: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoqi, do you miss uncle?" He smiled at him: "I think about it, uncle." Duan Jintang turned his face to let them kiss her one by one, his fourth sister looked at him and smiled: "Little brother, put them down quickly, they are all grown up and heavy." Duan Jintang looked Looking at the impatient brother-in-law behind her, she raised the corners of her mouth: "How come, Xiaoqi Xiaoyu is so cute, sister, I can hug another one of you."

The fourth brother-in-law behind the fourth sister's face twisted Shanshan when he heard these words, Duan Jintang snorted coldly and greeted him: "Fourth brother-in-law, it's freezing outside, hurry up and come inside."

After speaking, he carried the child into the house.The fourth brother-in-law was stunned by him, but he didn't dare to say anything. He had experienced Duan Jintang's sharp mouth before.

Although their siblings are almost in the same city, they don't see each other every day. This time it's the New Year again, so they are very kind when they meet. The siblings sat around the table lively, gossiping and discussing their own affairs. My son, Duan Jintang didn't talk too much when discussing clothes and jewellery, and Ye Shaojun, who was opposite him, didn't talk very much, and the two of them drank tea with a few brothers-in-law.

The living room of the Duan family is large, and there are several children here today, mostly girls, and most of his older sisters gave birth to girls. The eldest sister gave birth to Ye Shaojun in her lifetime, the other second sisters gave birth to a daughter, and the third sister gave birth to a daughter. The two daughters only had a son, and today they brought a son. The little guy seemed spoiled at home, running all over the yard. The third sister was afraid that he would be cold and sat on her lap. Sitting was dishonest. He was not at all interested in women's theories, Duan Jintang smiled at his third sister: "Sister, let him come down and play in the house, Xiaolin, go play with sister."

A few children quickly completed a group, and rebelled his tidy home. Duan Jintang never thought that their destructive power was so strong. He felt a little distressed when he looked at his things, and wanted to scold them, but his bold words As I just said, I had to let them play.

A few children were playing hide and seek, Xiaoyu was the youngest, she was in a hurry to hide without a place, so she ran to her father, who was drinking tea when she bumped into him, spilling water all over her body, at this moment her mood became even worse , grabbed the child and hit it indiscriminately, hitting the head, the little girl was hurt by the beating, she curled her mouth for a while, tears fell down, looking at his father's livid face, she didn't dare to cry The fourth sister was anxious when she saw it, and pulled the child over: "A child, why are you pissing her off. Xiaoyu, are you all right? Come, mother, take a look."

The older sisters were busy looking at the child: "Is it hot?"

The fifth sister stood up and looked down at the fourth brother-in-law: "Fourth brother-in-law, you are really serious. Fortunately, your tea didn't burn the child. Why are you beating the child?"

The fourth brother-in-law was a little annoyed by several people watching: "What's wrong with me beating her, she is my daughter! Little girl's film, besides being cumbersome, will cause trouble!"

The fifth sister sneered: "Fourth brother-in-law, you can beat your own daughter! What happened to the little girl's film?"

The fourth brother-in-law glared at her: "This is our family's business, outsiders can't control it." The fifth sister wanted to say something, but she was stopped by the fourth sister: "Don't talk about Xiao Wu." The fifth sister looked at his honest fourth sister. She gritted her teeth angrily: "Fourth sister!"

The fourth brother-in-law looked at the fourth young lady who voluntarily wronged him and snorted. He was very impatient and disliked coming to the Duan family. His family background was the worst among these brothers-in-law’s. The Fourth Miss of the Duan's family is similar to Daoqimen. When Mr. Duan was alive, he often pointed him out, which made him lose face as a big man, so as time passed, he didn't like the Duan's family at all.

When the old man of the Duan family was gone, he felt that he was about to be liberated. The noble fourth lady of the Duan family failed to give birth to a son for him, so he took concubines as a matter of course. He took two concubines in three years. He didn't want to look at his wife, who was overwhelmed by benefits. Today, he could accompany her back to her mother's house because she couldn't offend the Duan family. Otherwise, she would have gone home early.

Duan Jintang looked on coldly, this man had a good looks for nothing, but he was so bad inside, his fourth sister married such a person in spite of everyone's objections, the honest, gentle and elegant back then has now become such a philistine, well-dressed, Not as good as animals.

The old butler was also very angry, but he still dutifully asked him to go upstairs to change his clothes: "Fourth uncle, please go upstairs." The fourth brother-in-law stood up, patted the tea leaves on his body, and looked more and more comforted by everyone. The crying child scolded: "Sangmen Xing, why don't you cry during the big festival, and you too, how to teach a child to know how to cry."

Duan Jintang smiled at this moment: "Fourth brother-in-law, wait a minute, who are you talking about?" Ye Shaojun sat across from him and knew something was going to happen when he saw his expression. He quickly sat up straight and wanted to say something. However, Duan Jintang's mouth was quicker: "You mean my fourth sister? My fourth sister is the star of mourning, did you lose your Qin family?"

When the fourth brother-in-law saw that what he said was not good, his complexion immediately turned ugly, and he looked at him with full vigilance. Duan Jintang lived up to his expectations, and looked at him with a smile on his face. The face was full of evil spirits: "I see that your Qin family is very good, and you don't look down at all. You said that my sister is a mourner, but how can I remember that when my sister was not married to you, you still Like a lost dog? Begging my sister to marry you in front of our Duan's house."

The face of the fourth brother-in-law was so innocent by his anger. He didn't expect that the old man Duan died, and this little one started to mention his past again, as if those pasts would follow him for the rest of his life, as if no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't climb up to their Duan family. Same.The eldest sister was silent, the second brother-in-law was not good at seeing things, and kept silent while holding his bong, the cowardly fifth brother-in-law wanted to neutralize Duan Jintang but couldn't hold Duan Jintang back, the third sister's wife was like a spectator, he was a stranger No matter how rich the family is, they can't compare with the Duan family. When the old man of the Duan family was here, he was the chairman of the chamber of commerce. One end, so for the Duan family, they all have a heart to watch the excitement.

Only Ye Shaojun was in a hurry, he yelled several times: "Uncle, uncle, drink some tea." Duan Jintang sneered at his peacemaker's attitude, pushed him aside, looked at the fourth brother-in-law and smiled: "Fourth brother-in-law , Am I right? I think back when you married my fourth sister, my family was completely destitute. My sister didn’t dislike this, and we have nothing to say. My sister married into your Qin family and helped the Qin family re-establish the family in a year. To give birth to two daughters a year and raise them to adulthood, even if there is no credit, there is hard work.

My elder sister has a gentle personality and doesn't bother arguing with you, but I, Duan Jintang, are not so easy to talk to. Fourth brother-in-law, you said that my sister could not give birth to a son for you, and you took a concubine. I have nothing to say about this. My Duan family is not so unreasonable, but Brother-in-law, what do you mean now, the concubine can't give birth to a son, and you blame my sister?Say my sister is a mourner?I really can't figure it out, your Qin family's tutor is like this or Fengshui is like this, if you can't give birth to a son, don't blame you, but if you can't give birth to any of them, then who should you blame? If you don't have the ability, don't blame my sister. on the head. "

He still spoke very peacefully, even with a smile. This sarcastic tone made his fourth brother-in-law tremble with anger. Ye Shaojun closed his eyes helplessly. Duan Jintang's character is always so fierce, and he also knows this fourth brother-in-law No way, but today is a special day, how will it end like this, brother-in-law at this table.

The fourth sister probably knew his brother's temper, so she pulled him aside: "Don't talk about it, my sister..." Duan Jintang looked at her: "Sister, are you okay? Have you never been wronged?" Seeing her eye circles turn red like this, she has fallen from a young lady to the point where she is about to be divorced by her husband's family, how can she say it.

Duan Jintang couldn't bear the anger in his heart when he saw his sister, so he turned his head to face his fourth brother-in-law again, his eyes were cold, and his words were even colder: "Fourth brother-in-law, my fourth sister has been married to you for all these years. How can I be sorry to you Qin?" Back then, despite my father's persuasion, she insisted on marrying your small family, the Qin family. My Duan family accompanied me with ten miles of red makeup. At that time, my fourth brother-in-law, why didn't you blame my fourth sister for being burdensome, and blame the ten miles of red makeup for being burdensome! "

The fourth brother-in-law couldn't bear to look at Duan Jintang's extremely beautiful and cold eyes, he turned his head in embarrassment, and Duan Jintang also sneered: "Of course you can't blame the fourth brother-in-law, that ten miles of red makeup has taken care of you, Qintang." Family, your Qin family has revived, and now you finally have the money to marry a few concubines."

The fourth brother-in-law was left speechless by what he said, her face was pale and pale, the fourth sister covered her face with a veil and turned her head away, she didn't want to see the man's face at all, she had been disappointed in him for so many years, Now that a cavity of resentment came out through his brother's mouth, she couldn't control herself for a moment, and her body trembled slightly.Fifth Sister patted her on the side: "Fourth Sister, it's okay, it's okay. With us here, you won't be wronged again."

Duan Jintang continued to laugh: "Qin Tianyou, let me tell you, if you have Duan Jintang with me, don't treat my sister like this. If I remember correctly, my sister's dowry is the only one that has not been defeated by your Qin family. The silk and satin shop, all the purchases are made by me, and your Qin family’s silk and satin shop is just a name!" Qin Tianyou was caught in the shortcoming, and finally couldn't hold back, he said tremblingly: "I, I don't want to divorce you Sister, yes, who told you?"

Duan Jintang sneered: "It doesn't matter who told me, you just need to remember how good my sister was to you, and you just need to remember to be nice to my sister in the future."

Qin Tianyou couldn't say anything anymore, he hated the Duan family to the extreme in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it, who told Duan Jintang to be right, he was nothing after leaving the Duan family, and all the expenses of the family depended on the silk farm , and the title deed of silk and satin village belongs to the Duan family.

This episode died down under Duan Jintang's high-handed policy. No matter how arrogant Qin Tianyou was, he had no choice but to be defeated by his arrogance. What kind of person should be treated in the same way. If you don't have face, don't blame others for not showing face. To use other people's means, to take advantage of others' short mouth, to be a bad guy, you must have the self-consciousness to be a bad guy, don't be shameless.
