Chapter 46: The Big and the Little Are Evil
Living room of the main house.
Mrs. Huo sat alone on the main seat of the sofa in the middle.
Huo Nanshan and Huo Wenhao sat side by side on the sofa on the right side of the old lady, Huo Liren and Huo Liyi sat on the sofa on the left, and Wen Sinuan sat on the single sofa, close to Huo Liting's wheelchair.
Aunt Ding held the tray in both hands and put more than a dozen exquisite boxes on the plate on the coffee table one by one.
brocade and jewel-inlay......
One of the most striking are several boxes with mahogany cutouts.
The color is simple and atmospheric, and the carving is complex and exquisite, so that people can't help but want to open it when they see it.
Bai Xue looked at Huo Nanshan suspiciously, and said with her eyes: "Mom, this is taking out all the treasures in the safe?"
Huo Nanshan shook his head softly and quietly.
Huo Liren and Huo Liyi swept their eyes over it, and then naturally moved away.
Only Huo Wenhao's gaze was glued to it like a radar, but he just looked at it and didn't dare to ask.
Aunt Ding put her things away, then retreated to the old lady and said in a low voice: "Old lady, everyone is ready, and the things are ready." ”
Old Madam Huo nodded and said gently: "Calling everyone back tonight is to announce three things to everyone. ”
"First of all, the snake pit is no longer rebuilt. In that place, in the future, according to Ah Tingdi's intentions, first fill in, and then rebuild a rockery with a high point. Since it is a town house, it must be condescending. Nanshan, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Huo Nanshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now there is no need for the grandparents to argue.
He responded cheerfully: "Don't worry, I will definitely repair beautifully." But what about the corpses of those snakes? It's been frozen in a thermostatic system for the past few days, and they're still the same as before. Or do you want to bury it just underneath?"
Wen Sinuan's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Huo Liting secretly.
Sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes were indifferent, obviously not caring about this matter.
Wen Sinuan pursed her lips and lowered her head.
It seems that now is not the time to take a stand.
Mrs. Huo pondered for a moment: "I went up the mountain to worship the Buddha in the past two days, and I got the guidance of the master by chance. The master is well-known, and he is very accurate. The master said that Ah Ting's poor health over the years was all because he was pressed by those snakes. Now that those snakes are gone, it is natural to eliminate the disaster for Ah Ting. As for what to do with those corpses, let Ah Ting decide!"
So not only did you not rebuild the snake pit, but you didn't even care about the suspicion of murder of the crippled and the little slut?
Huo Wenhao's eyes were surging with hatred, and before Huo Liting could speak, he chuckled: "Grandma, you're too superstitious, aren't you?" For the sake of a stinky monk, you don't ......even care about grandpa's relics."
"Xiao Hao!"
Huo Liren interrupted softly, and his narrow peach blossom eyes revealed sternness and forbiddenness: "That is your grandmother's faith, and it cannot be blasphemed." ”
"Little children, not sensible. Mom, don't be angry. ”
Huo Nanshan smiled at the old lady, turned his head to look at Huo Wenhao, and stared solemnly on his face: "Xiaohao, your grandmother has walked more bridges than you have walked, what do you know? Quickly, apologize to your grandmother!"
"I ......"
Huo Wenhao's face was unconvinced, he looked at Huo Liren and then at Huo Nanshan, and finally could only grit his teeth: "Grandma, I'm sorry!"
He turned his head and swept over Huo Liting and Wen Sinuan, and the hatred in his eyes became a little stronger.
Old Mrs. Huo ignored him and said straightforwardly: "Ah Ting, what do you think?"
Huo Liting spoke, speaking slowly: "Grandma, I want to bury them, after all, they are grandfather's relics, and they have served the Huo family for many years." But according to the master's words, it is not advisable to be buried at home. You can let me think about it before deciding. ”
There is a degree of advance and retreat, and every aspect is thoughtful.
Old Lady Huo nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." You just have to deal with it yourself, and you don't need to inform everyone. ”
This is to completely trust the right to dispose of it to Huo Liting!
Wen Sinuan was secretly happy in her heart.
Lowering his eyes, a flash of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
The snow loosened his back like a tight one.
It seems that the old lady went up the mountain this time, and the guidance she got was all in Ah Ting's favor!
Huo Wenhao secretly clenched his fists.
In the eyes of grandma, is there only that cripple left now?
"Okay, that's all for the first thing. Now, I announce the second thing. ”
Old Lady Huo pulled everyone's thoughts back in a loud voice.
Her gray eyes rolled around: "Where is Xiao Nuan? Why didn't you speak?"
Wen Sinuan hurriedly raised her hand: "Milk ......"
She opened her mouth, closed it again, and subconsciously looked at Huo Liting.
"Grandma, she's there for me. ”
Huo Liting spoke on her behalf: "Her throat injury has not healed yet, and the doctor said that it is not appropriate to talk more." ”
Huo Liyi leaned lazily on the sofa and joked: "Ah Ting, you also spoil your younger siblings too delicately, right?
Bai Xue's body stiffened, and worry appeared in her eyes.
Ah Ting is so considerate, he can't really think about that little fool, right?
Her gaze swept over, Huo Liting and Wen Sinuan sat separately, neither their eyes nor their limbs interacted with each other, and they relaxed slightly.
Ah Ting's vision has always been very high, and he will never fall in love with this ugly girl!
Mrs. Huo didn't care: "It's okay, don't say it if you don't want to talk." ”
She beckoned to Wen Sinuan: "Come here, Xiao Nuan, sit next to grandma." ”
Wen Sinuan stood up happily, and then subconsciously glanced at Huo Liting again.
Seeing the man nodding, she immediately happily sat down next to the old lady, hugged the old lady's arm, and said, "Grandma, do you agree to let me hug your thigh?"
The moment the hoarse voice fell, the hall fell silent.
The Wen family's calculations were once again put in front of everyone.
After a moment, Mrs. Huo patted Wen Sinuan's hand and smiled lovingly: "Hug, hug it casually in the future." ”
She skillfully raised her chin towards Aunt Ding behind the side.
Aunt Ding understood, and immediately stepped forward to open the mahogany carved boxes on the coffee table.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the contents of the box.
It was a set of emerald jewelry, rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces......
The crystal clear turquoise was illuminated by the light, as if there were layers of water waves swinging in the jade.
The dazzling cold green is thrillingly beautiful, as if it wants to pull people into another realm.
Bai Xueru's gaze straightened suddenly, and the hands folded in her lower abdomen clenched.
This thing, she has only seen it once in so many years.
That time was also on the eve of Ting's grandfather's death......
Why did you take it out again today in front of a new daughter-in-law who had just entered the door not long ago?
Bai Xue was concentrating, retracting her gaffe gaze, and said softly: "Mom, how did you think of taking out such a valuable thing today?"
Old Mrs. Huo straightened up, and her tone was full of majesty: "I called you over today to announce a few things, not to ask for your opinions. So when I didn't let you speak, you listened and didn't speak. ”
“......”
Bai Xueru's smile froze on her face, and she slumped into the sofa and stopped talking.
Mrs. Huo turned her head, held Wen Sinuan's hand with one hand, and gently stroked Wen Sannuan's cheeks, ears, and neck with the other......
While touching, he smiled and nodded: "I have waited for so many years for this set of jewelry, and finally waited for the right owner." ”
"Aunt Ding, take it and put it on the third young grandmother. ”
"Yes. ”
Aunt Ding responded respectfully, put on white gloves, carefully held the things over, and gave Wen Si a warm belt one by one.
Everyone was shocked by this scene and did not come back to their senses for a while.
In the entire hall, there was only the sound of everyone's breathing and the sound of Aunt Ding bringing jewelry to Wen Sinuan.
Huo Nanshan was the first to come back to his senses and spoke, his tone hurried: "Mom, what are you doing here?" Although the third daughter-in-law is good, she has just entered the door after all. These things are so valuable, how can you just give them to her so casually? Mom, you better think about it again, she ......"
"Shut up. ”
The cold voice fell, as if there was substance.
Old Mrs. Huo's gray eyes rolled, and the chill instantly spread in the living room.
"As I said earlier, today I am announcing to you, not asking for advice. Don't be unheard!"
Huo Nanshan was stunned, and the unspoken words were all blocked in his throat, unable to spit out or swallow.
Everyone's expressions froze, holding their breath.
The old lady has been fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, and she doesn't care much about things at home, and she treats people with kindness and kindness.
So much so that they almost forgot that the old man left early, and it was the old lady and a woman who independently supported this huge business.
The chill spread through the living room, as if it was about to freeze everything.
No one dared to open their mouths and raise the slightest voice of opposition.
Wen Sinuan lowered her head and looked at the necklace around her neck and the jade bracelet ring on her hand in a daze......
She just wanted to get back what belonged to her mother and cure Huo Liting by the way......
But the old lady's love for the house and Wu obviously loves this grandson more than everyone imagined.
Or is it...... What she said in the temple made grandma believe it?
Oops, what a sin if that's really the case!
She couldn't ask for these things.
"Old lady, I have already brought it for the third young grandmother. ”
After Aunt Ding finished speaking, she respectfully retreated to the side.
Mrs. Huo took Wen Sinuan's hand and smiled lovingly: "Xiao Nuan, do you like it?"
Wen Sinuan touched the necklace around her neck and smiled honestly and sweetly: "Grandma, these stones are very beautiful, but they are too heavy to carry, and I am tired and panicked." I prefer gold, real money in my hands, so I feel safe. ”
"Huh?"
Mrs. Huo was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
This little girl actually thought that she was just using her as a tool and trying on jewelry.
With the laughter of the old lady, the tense atmosphere in the living room finally relaxed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Wenhao rolled his eyes in disgust and sneered: "Hmph, Tu Baozi!"
But his voice was very small, and it was directly drowned out by the old lady's laughter.
Huo Liting frowned handsomely.
Grandma suddenly overrode the public opinion, giving such a valuable gift, and being so happy, what is she trying to do?
Bai Xueru and Huo Nanshan glanced at each other, but they both kept their faces calm and did not speak.
Old Mrs. Huo laughed for a while before she put it away and said gently: "If you think this jewelry is heavy, put it away, you can not wear it." But this is a wedding gift from grandma to you and Ting, so you must accept it. ”
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, she took out a card from the pocket of her coat and put it in Wen Sinuan's hand: "You can also take this card, and buy it yourself if you like it." Whether it's gold or silver, any beautiful clothes, shoes and bags, as long as you like them, you can buy them casually. ”
The thin black card, inlaid with a few gold threads, is low-key and luxurious, and it falls coldly in the hand.
Wen Sinuan seemed to come back to her senses, and hurriedly pushed the card back into the old lady's hand: "No, no, grandma, my grandparents have taught me since I was a child, and I will not be punished for nothing." These things are too expensive for me to want. ”
"Good boy, grandma said she could ask for it, she could ask for it. ”
Mrs. Huo held her hand tightly: "Grandma's money is too much, and she can't spend it all, you spend it for grandma, you are helping grandma." ”
"No, no, this is not good!" Wen Sinuan shook her head desperately, afraid to shrink back.
She tried to withdraw her hand, but the harder she pushed, the tighter the old lady's grip became.
During the push, no one noticed that the other people's faces were of different colors.
Huo Wenhao gritted his teeth angrily, but he didn't dare to say a word.
The snow is like eyes full of jealousy.
She has been married for so many years, when has the old lady treated her like this?
Completely treat her as the servant of the Huo family!!
Sure enough, he was blind and fell in love with a fool!
Wen Sinuan looked at Huo Liting for help, and said timidly: "Ah Ting, I'm ...... Can you take it?"
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Huo Liting.
Jealous, worried, confused......
Even the old lady's gray eyes turned towards him.
The man sat in a wheelchair with his back straight.
His eyes fell softly on the girl's face, and he spoke without hurrying: "Since it is a wedding gift from grandma, then you can accept it." In this way, grandma will be happy. ”
Wen Si's warm heart settled down in an instant.
She raised the corners of her mouth and nodded heavily, "Yes." ”
She carefully put the card into the pocket of her school uniform, pressed it carefully, looked at the old lady and said sweetly, "Thank you, grandma." ”
The hoarse voice carries a sincere pleasure from the heart.
Even if you can't see it, you can feel it.
Mrs. Huo bent her eyebrows and smiled lovingly: "Good girl, this is grandma's good granddaughter-in-law." ”
Huo Wenhao's gaze was nailed to the pocket of Wen Sinuan's card, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
This slut, why!
His pocket money was deducted from nothing, why did this slut get his grandma's black card without doing anything!
That's a card that can't be spent in a lifetime!
Mrs. Huo pointed to the remaining boxes on the coffee table and said, "These are all ginseng supplements given by others." I'm old and can't make up for my weakness, so I'll give it to Xiao Nuan today. You're young and you've just been discharged from the hospital, so you're making up for your health. ”
Wen Sinuan's eyes lit up.
It's just right to take these things back to someone's body.
She nodded obediently: "Thank you, grandma! Thank you! You are so good! You are the best and best grandmother in the world! All the gods and bodhisattvas will bless you, and you will definitely live a long life! No, no, you will definitely live a long life!"
A wave of rainbow farts made Mrs. Huo laugh again.
The snow sank like a light in her eyes, her folded hands clenched, and her nails were embedded in the flesh without realizing it.
The old lady looks like this, does she want to admit the marriage between Ah Ting and this girl?
Old Mrs. Huo laughed enough, and then turned her face to everyone and said solemnly: "Xiao Nuan married into our Huo family, and it has not been announced to the public. I have decided to hold a press conference tomorrow to make a formal announcement of this information. As for the wedding, I will pick a good day and have a grand banquet, and I will never treat Ah Ting and Xiao Nuan badly. ”
Huo Nanshan was stunned.
Bai Xueru clasped her hands, suddenly let go, and stood up "poofed": "No." ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Bai Xueru.
Bai Xueru realized the gaffe, and hurriedly eased her tone, and said as she walked towards the old lady: "Si Nuan, don't sit here with grandma, go back to Ah Ting!"
"Oh. Wen Sinuan didn't understand what he meant, but he nodded obediently and got up to get out of the way.
Bai Xueru sat down against the old lady and lowered her voice: "Mom, she is married to Chongxi, how can she announce it to the public? Don't you see her ugly appearance, such a face, how can you let Ah Ting endure it for a lifetime? In case of divorce in the future, everyone will be so embarrassed!"
"Nonsense!"
Old Lady Huo frowned, and said in a stern tone: "How do you become a mother? Since she married into our Huo family, she is a member of our Huo family, my granddaughter-in-law, and your daughter-in-law." Huo's family rules: Only widows are not divorced! Have you forgotten everything?"
"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare, but ......"
"Shut up. ”
Bai Xueru was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady sharply.
Old Lady Huo's gray eyes swept over everyone: "Hear clearly, from today onwards, whoever dares to bully Xiao Nuan will be bullying my old woman." If she loses a single hair, none of you will want to be at peace. ”
Is this to hold Wen Sinuan to the sky?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all can't believe their ears.
Wen Sinuan also looked at the old lady in a daze, and the guilt in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Grandma believed the master's words like that, how could she inadvertently become a little liar?
Sins and sins, she must copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times when she turns back.
Hey, no matter what, can't let grandma down!
Huo Wenhao collapsed on the sofa in frustration, and muttered unwillingly: "Grandma, is this going to worship Buddha or to summon spirits? Why did you come back as if you were a different person, don't be evil!"
Huo Nanshan was next to Huo Wenhao, and he could hear it clearly, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into the word "Sichuan".
Old Lady Huo ignored everyone and said straight to Huo Liting: "Ah Ting, what do you think?"
Before Huo Liting could speak, Bai Xueru preemptively said: "Ah Ting, Si Nuan has just been discharged from the hospital and is not in good health. I think after talking for so long, she is also tired, so it is better to let her go back to Xiyuan to rest first!"
She blinked vigorously.
Huo Liting didn't seem to see it, and said coldly: "No." She just sits here and rests. ”
The snow was like a knot, and he gritted his teeth secretly: Is this old one evil, and the little one also evil?
Huo Liting tilted his head and glanced at Wen Sinuan.
She sat on the sofa with her knees together, her eyes clear, looking at everyone blankly, like a child.
Huo Liting retracted his gaze, looked towards the main seat, and said lightly: "It was your intention to arrange this family affair at the beginning, grandma. Now it's also grandma's meaning to declare. I have no opinion, I listen to grandma. ”
Wen Sinuan stared at the man's side face, and his eyes were dyed with warmth.
He said: No more people will bully her.
Therefore, even if it is his family, it is not allowed to ......
The light of the crystal lamp poured down on his shoulder, giving him a warm color on his angular features.
Even in a wheelchair, his physique and bearing are taller and more reliable than everyone else.
Wen Sinuan lowered her head, and a touch of blush climbed up to the root of her ears.
She'll heal him, definitely!
Bai Xueru's resentful gaze took in Wen Sinuan's expression.
The blue and white porcelain cheongsam on her body was deeply wrinkled by her.
What kind of ecstasy soup did this little slut give to the old lady and Ah Ting?
One or two of them were protecting her!
"Do you guys have any other opinions?" Old Lady Huo's gray eyes symbolically turned around everyone.
Huo Nanshan moved his lips, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Keep your head down and don't say a word.
Huo Liren's peach blossom eyes smiled warmly: "Marriage is a happy event, since Ah Ting has no opinion, then I have no opinion." It's better to do what grandma wants. As for the wedding, I am the eldest brother, and I am in charge of the wedding banquet, which is my congratulatory gift to Ah Ting and my younger siblings. ”
"A happy event is a happy event, that is, Ah Ting has been wronged. The face of my brother and sister is really ......"
At any time, Huo Liyi's dislike for Wen Sinuan's face was not hidden.
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Wen Sinuan.
Meeting his gaze, Wen Sinuan grinned stupidly, and the acne on his face became more and more obvious.
Huo Liyi shuddered, shut up, turned his head quickly, and changed his words: "I don't have an opinion." You guys, just be happy, be happy!"
This girl is so spicy!
Ah Ting is definitely worthy of a song "Too Wronged"!
"Xiao Hao, what about you?" Huo Liren's eyes fell on Huo Wenhao, indifferent and warm.
Huo Wenhao immediately sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Yes, of course Yes! Uncle is right, getting married is a happy event." The family has not been lively for a long time, just like my grandmother said, not only to do it, but also to do it. ”
When the time comes, let people all over the world come to see that Huo Liting, a cripple, not only married an ugly pork chop, but also an illegitimate daughter who can't be on the stage.
Thinking of this, Huo Wenhao suppressed his mood all night and finally became comfortable.
Although Mrs. Huo couldn't see it, she was like a mirror in her heart.
"Well, since everyone agrees, this matter is settled. ”
She directly ignored Huo Nanshan and Bai Xueru, and turned her head sideways to Aunt Ding and said, "Give the key to the third young grandmother." ”
"Yes. ”
Aunt Ding stroked her body, took out a bunch of keys, and respectfully held them in front of Wen Sinuan: "Third young grandmother, this is the key to the account room at home." It contains not only the company's accounts, but also the expenses of the family and the outside of the home, including everyone's monthly pocket money. ”
Wen Sinuan bit her lip and frowned a little dazedly.
Although Mrs. Huo couldn't see it, she had expected her to react like this, and explained softly: "There are a total of four sets of keys for this key, and it was mainly your father-in-law, Aunt Ding, and Huo Shan who were in charge of it before. From today on, grandma will be handed over to you, and in the future, you will replace grandma and be the female shopkeeper of the family. You are the first granddaughter-in-law of our Huo family, and this is also one of your wedding gifts. You have to accept it, and you will be happy to accept grandma. ”
When Aunt Ding took out the key, everyone still had a trace of fantasy.
The old lady's voice fell, and the others could no longer sit still.
Huo Liyi stood up "poofed": "Grandma, I don't agree with this!"
"Yes, Mom, is this decision too hasty? How old is this child, how can she let her be a housekeeper?" Huo Nanshan couldn't hold back, and then got up and said.
