"Dad, mother, I'm back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Han Xiu lifted the curtain and came in, Han's father was sitting by the window in the backyard smoking a hookah, while Han's mother was half-lying on the bed, her head resting on Luo Qinian's thigh, and asked her to rub the sun.

Looking at the faces of his parents who were instantly older than teenagers, Han Xiu was in a trance for a moment. However, she still didn't feel that it was her fault, she just chose her own happiness and didn't want to hurt anyone.

Father Han didn't look back at her, but he didn't continue to spit out smoke bubbles. Han's mother opened her eyes and cried, "My son, you're back, let my mother wait." Come here, let my mother see, but I've lost weight. My son, why are you so disobedient, you want your mother's life. ”

Han's mother said as she beat Han Xiu, complaining in her mouth, but her movements were not heavy. Han Xiu didn't feel any pain at all. Feeling Han's mother's deep maternal love, the grievances she suffered in the Li family burst out. couldn't help it, she lay in Han's mother's arms and cried.

Seeing this, Luo Qinian quietly exited the house, fetched a basin of water and put it on the shelf, and still went out.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, cleaned their faces and washed their eyes. Han's mother had time to look at Han Xiu carefully.

I saw Han Xiu wearing a big red dress for the wedding, and her body was a little thinner, and the clothes that originally fit just right are now hanging empty on her body. Han's mother felt uncomfortable and cried again.

"Son, you've suffered. ”

But no, the daughter of the Han family, who is spoiled by thousands of people, not to mention all the housework in the Li family, has to set rules. You have to serve the elders to eat well, so that you can pick up the leftover cold rice to fill your stomach, and you can't eat enough.

Han Xiu quietly retracted his scarred hand back into his sleeve, wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "Mother, I didn't suffer. Brother Li treats me very well. "She's telling the truth, and Lee Hyun-in is really good to her. Thinking of the gentleness of the evening, her thin little face floated with a touch of redness, delicate and pretty, and pitiful.

Seeing that Han's mother didn't believe it, Han Xiu added: "Really, mother, I'm fine." It's just that his family has big rules, and his mother wants me to learn etiquette. I'm stupid and can't learn well, so I work harder than others. If you get up early and go to bed late, you will lose weight after coming and going. ”

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Mother, Brother Li said that he likes to be thin, and he is beautiful when he is thin." ”

Han's mother looked at Han Xiu carefully, and sure enough, her round face disappeared into a goose egg face, her eyes were thick and pitiful, and she was the beauty preferred by literati students. But in the end, I felt sorry for her to learn the rules and endure hardships, so I hugged her and said, "My son, don't be too tired." ”

Han Xiu saw that she had coaxed Han's mother, and quietly spat out turbidity. She was afraid that her father and mother would find out the truth and not let her go back with Li Xianren.

Luo Qinian prepared a large table of good dishes, came to the door and said through the curtain: "Dad, mother, the meal is ready, let's go out to eat with my little sister." ”

"Hey-" Han's mother patted Han Xiu's hand: "My son, your sister-in-law made you something delicious, let's go out and eat quickly, otherwise you will lose if your brother and sister-in-law rob you." ”

Han's father and Han's mother were in a good mood, and they also felt hungry, so they ate more than usual a bowl of rice.

Han Xiu looked at the chicken, duck and fish on the table, the plates were full of color and flavor, and she was so hungry that she ran out. But she didn't dare to eat more, for fear that Father Han and the others would see that she had no good food in the Li family, and even more afraid that she would be disliked by Li Xianren for her rude manners. Therefore, she only sandwiched a few side dishes in front of her rice bowl.

Han's mother was distressed and helped her pick out a good meat clip for her to eat, for fear that she would not be able to eat it when she went home.

Li Xianren eats elegantly, he picks up a piece of rouge lotus root and puts it in his mouth and chews it slowly, the fragrance of the lotus root is crisp and crisp, and people have an endless aftertaste. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Luo Qinian, who was also dining elegantly, and smiled: I didn't expect her to have such cooking skills, but it's a pity that a flower was inserted in cow dung.

Han Xiu saw that Li Xianren was eating well, and was secretly sad: Presumably Brother Li also likes to eat, but the conditions of the Li family are not good, which limits his appetite. Thinking about it, she couldn't say anything before, and she didn't feel it was easy to speak. After dinner, she returned to Han's mother's room and whispered, and she casually proposed to borrow silver.

Han's mother was surprised: "I only gave you ten taels of silver, and it ran out?" and asked again: "Does the Li family owe foreign debts?"

Han Xiu whispered, "Mother, be quiet." The Li family did not fight famine. It's that I want to do some small business, and I don't have the capital. The Li family didn't agree with me doing business, but I wanted to try. Mother, you love me the most, just lend me twenty taels, and I promise to pay it back during the New Year. ”

"What do you pay back, besides, if the family talks about borrowing or not, you slap your mother's face. However, twenty taels of silver is enough for a family of five to chew for three or five years, a large sum of silver, you first tell your mother what business you want to do. Mother is discussing with your father and brothers. If it is done, we will transfer it to you. ”

Han Xiu obstructed: "Mother, don't let your father know." You see, the sister-in-law wanted to do a small business, but their father didn't agree. Because the fourth brother is going to participate in the imperial examination. Brother Li's situation is similar to that of the fourth brother, so his family does not allow me to go out to do business. But ah, mother, I'm idle at home and want to find something to do. His family doesn't raise chickens and ducks, so it's not easy for me to pass the time. ”

Han Xiu was talking nonsense, and Han's mother really believed it. But she was also embarrassed: "Xiu'er, our family's big money belongs to your father, and my mother only has a few taels of vegetable money." If you want money, you can only tell your father. ”

Han Xiu secretly hated Han's mother for grabbing it at home and outside the house, but she didn't expect that the most important money bag could not be touched. However, a few taels count a few taels, and mosquito legs are also meat not. Therefore, she did not dislike it, and whispered: "Mother, then you give it to me first, and then look for an opportunity to ask my father for it." ”

"Hey-" Han's mother didn't carry Han Xiu on her back, took out a small red lacquered wooden box from the ebony box she married, wrapped a few taels of silver copper plates or something in it with a red cloth, and handed it to Han Xiu: "My son, if you have difficulties in the future, just tell your mother, your mother can't help a big one, and you can always help with small things." ”

Han's mother is stupid, but she is not stupid, she somewhat understands how much Han Xiu's words are true or false. However, Han Xiu was conceived and born in October, and she has been spoiled since she was a child, so she is reluctant to suffer a little.

"Mother. Han Xiu only deceived Han's mother and continued to coax her: "In the future, I will make money and sell good clothes for my mother to wear." ”

Han's mother smiled, and she patted the back of Han Xiu's hand: "Your heart, my mother has received it." My mother is not short of clothes to wear, your sister-in-law makes clothes for my mother every other month, and my mother can't wear them. You have good, dress yourself up nicely. Men love freshness. ”

Han Xiumo, Luo Qinian is a good worker, and the few wedding clothes she brought over were snatched by the Li sisters. The one she wore back today was "borrowed" from her second cousin to wear temporarily, and she had to wash it and return it to her when she went back.

Thinking about it, she wanted to cry again. But she couldn't cry, Brother Li said that the eldest sister-in-law has the responsibility of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. You have to know how to be humble, and you can't give what your sisters like. She loves Brother Li and wants to be a good sister-in-law in his mouth. Therefore, despite the grievances, she has to endure it.

Han's mother wrapped up the money for Han Xiu, prepared a bunch of food for her to bring, and instructed: "My son, it's getting late, you go with Li Xiucai's house, carefully step on the road, don't step on the pit." ”

After sending Han Xiu away, Han's mother wilted and couldn't keep up her spirits and went back to the house to sleep.
