Chapter 12: Tear Your House Down
Xia Qiu didn't know that Wang Jianxin's pursuit of her spread throughout Nanwan Town and to the ears of Wang Jianxin's parents.
A few meters away, at the door of Liu Zhaodi's dining room, her daughter Xia Qing looked at Xia Qiu with envy and indignation.
She felt that she was no worse than Xia Qiu, but Wang Jianxin actually liked her? Although the word 'like' was ignorant to her, she was still unwilling.
Her mother said that she should be better than the three sisters of Xia Qiu, everyone should like her, and everything in Xia Qiu is hers.
Xia Qiu didn't have time to think about the impact of Wang Jianxin's trouble, because at this time, a few meters away, Li Cuifen, who was holding on to the door with one hand, sat weakly on the door pier, looking very haggard, as if she was about to fall down as soon as the wind blew.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Li Cuifen sat on the wooden pier and breathed heavily. "I'm fine. ”
Her eyes, which were already a little old, were full of exhaustion.
Seeing her like this, Xia Qiu felt even more guilty. What does she have to do to put Wang Jianxin in order?
"Qiu, you drove Wang Jianxin away with a broom, if his parents come to the door to make it difficult, we can bear it. ”
Li Cuifen was worried, he thought that their family's life would slowly get better, but now that things are getting worse, things are getting more and more troubled.
"Mom, what are you afraid of? Wang Jianxin's parents have status and status, but they don't have the final say in Nanwan Town, and they don't dare to come nonsense, after all, their words and deeds are related to their future, and they will be afraid, afraid that we will make trouble. ”
Xia Qiu's analysis was the head, and at the end, she snorted lightly, "There is a saying that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, so we don't have to be afraid." ”
Li Cuifen twisted her eyebrows and looked at Xia Qiu carefully, she was about to lose her daughter, who had been raised for more than ten years. How did her personality become completely different from the past?
"Mom, my sister is right, it's useless to be weak and afraid, we have to be tough to see who dares to bully us. ”
Xia Xue followed Ying He, "Don't worry, they really dare to do something, see if I don't cut them." ”
Her unstoppable rebellious eyes fell into Xia Qiu's eyes, and uneasiness surged again.
Xia Qiu helped Li Cuifen into the house and poured her a bowl of water. Li Cuifen didn't have the strength to think anymore, she drank the water in the bowl in one go, and prayed in her heart that it would be okay.
"I'll make you the vinegared cabbage for lunch. ”
Xia Qiu's face showed a bright and bright smile, and her smile made the atmosphere in the room much better.
"Sister, do it quickly, I haven't eaten it at noon, I'm going to be hungry to death." ”
Xia Xue said as she pushed Xia Qiu to the kitchen, just hoping that Xia Qiu would immediately conjure up a big pot of vinegared cabbage. The joyful atmosphere also dissipated Li Cuifen's worries a lot.
Xia Xue, who doesn't like to work, is really hungry, and helps Xia Qiu cook dinner for the first time. Washing vegetables, lighting the fire, so diligent. Xia Yu went to feed the chickens and ducks and the pigs, and the three sisters were very busy.
On the contrary, Li Cuifen became the most idle person, sitting on the side and watching her three daughters busy, with a pleased smile on her face.
Dinner was quickly ready, and Xia Qiu made twice as many vinegared cabbage tonight as at noon. The four of them sat around the broken square table and ate with relish.
But after they had only eaten a few bites of food, Liu Zhaodi took his husband, Xia Qiu's second uncle Xia Dajin, and broke in with a menacing attitude.
came in with her grandfather, Xia Shixun.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for me, Xia Qiu, this hoof, she actually pushed me in the afternoon, it's really not big or small, it's too uneducated. ”
Liu Zhaodi just entered the door, and glared at Xia Qiu with angry eyebrows.
On the table, the sour and spicy smell came to her nose, which made her swallow her saliva very unproductively.
Xia Qiu saw the three people who came into the house, their throats rolled, and their eyes looked at the vinegared cabbage on the square table at the same time.
Xia Shixun suppressed the greed in his mouth and looked at Xia Qiu indifferently.
"Xia Qiu, why are you so ignorant? Apologize to your second aunt. ”
Xia Qiu smiled coldly, and there was a hint of mockery on Zhu's lips. Since she can remember, her so-called grandfather is partial to her second and third sons, and the good fields and vegetable fields in the family are all distributed to them, and whatever benefits there are, they are also given to them.
For his eldest son, that is, her father Xia Dashan, he couldn't be harsh anymore. If something happens to the family, it is the fault of their old family, and what they need to bear is also their family's business.
In a word: the good things are the second and third, and the bad things are the old everyone's.
Just like now, Xia Shixun didn't care about it, and directly asked Xia Qiu to apologize to Liu Zhaodi.
"I said grandpa, is it possible that my second aunt hit me with a hoe, and I can't resist anymore? I have to let her beat me, and I can't resist if I am killed?"
"If you curse, you should be beaten. Liu Zhaodi's face was red, and her heart was not beating.
"It's against you, you still dare to talk back. Xia Dajin rushed up and looked at Xia Qiu viciously.
Xia Qiu was not afraid, but smiled lightly, and met Xia Dajin's eyes as if they were about to kill.
"Second uncle, isn't this world yours? We deserve to be bullied by you?" Xia Dajin was stunned, he didn't expect that the cowardly Xia Qiu was not afraid of him, and dared to question him.
He, who has always been domineering in this family, how can he swallow this breath? Caught off guard, he reached out and was about to lift the already dilapidated square table in their house.
Xia Qiu's eyes were quick, and he pressed the square table hard.
"Second uncle, if you break something in my house today, I will definitely go to your house and smash it twice. ”
Her cold gaze met Xia Dajin's fierce gaze. Li Cuifen was frightened! Xia Dajin was not easy to provoke, she didn't want to provoke.
"Xia Qiu, apologize to your second aunt quickly, stop fighting. In her tired eyes, there was helplessness and despair.
Xia Qiu didn't listen, saying, "I'm not wrong, I don't apologize." She went to look at Liu Zhaodi and the three of them again, "I'll repeat it again: if any of you dare to damage one of my dishes and chopsticks today, I will definitely smash it twice." ”
A resolute gaze, with fearless determination.
"You dare. ”
Xia Dajin, who was waiting for Xia Qiu to bow his head, was completely enraged by her, and tried harder to lift the table. After all, Xia Qiu's strength was not as strong as that of a tall and mighty Xia Dajin, and the table was almost lifted. When she thought she couldn't support it, Xia Xue and Xia Yu suddenly helped together and confronted Xia Dajin. The three sisters glanced at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the determination to unite with the outside world.
It's just that Xia Dajin's strength is still very strong, and the three sisters are not her opponents.
The table was overturned, and the delicious vinegared cabbage fell to the ground, and the only four bowls they had in the house were all shattered.
In the dim light, the dilapidated mud houses were in shambles.
"Hmph, you cheap girl, I'll give you a warning today, if you dare to disrespect your second aunt again, I'll tear down your house. ”
Xia Dajin pointed at Xia Qiu and warned. His face was hideous, and he looked extremely vicious.
"Yes, I demolished your house. Liu Zhaodi looked at the fragments of the place, smiled very proudly, and did not forget to echo Xia Dajin.
