Chapter 121 Sheng Shuyi

After Dr. Ziyang came to the door to ask for marriage and quickly received the marriage certificate, the remote courtyard where Sheng Shuyi's mother and her children lived suddenly became lively. www.biquge.info Not to mention the uncles and aunts who were lukewarm to them before, even the cousins whose tails were cocked to the sky changed their arrogant attitude of ignorance in the past, condescended to be noble, and took the initiative to talk to their cousin (sister) in the broken yard.

A few days later, Sheng Shuyi felt more tired than she had spent more than half a month before. Truth be told, she didn't really have much in common with these cousins. The cousins are actually not bad, but they are a little snobbish because of the environment of the Sheng family, and they are used to stepping on the high and praising the low. Moreover, seeing that the family is getting worse and worse, and there are no outstanding children and grandchildren, even if they know that they are not in the stream, the Sheng family can't help but have the idea of nepotism. After all, the granddaughter is valued by the nobles and marries into a wealthy family, which is much more promising than the group of unsuccessful grandsons Guangyao lintel!

So, even though the Sheng family declined, they did not lock the girls at home like some families, but tried every means to send them to the women's school, and those who were qualified even went to women's colleges - this is also inspired by Sheng Shuyi's mother's experience, although in the end, Sheng's mother's situation was not much better.

And Sheng Shuyi, because of her poor health since she was a child, did not go to school, everything she learned was taught by her mother. When she was in better health and older, her mother's insistence on not binding her feet angered her grandmother, and even her mother was prevented by her grandmother from going out to socialize on the grounds that her father was not at home all the year round and needed to avoid suspicion, not to mention her going to school.

Therefore, in the eyes of the ladies of the Sheng family, this cousin who has never read a book is a "backward woman in the old era", feudal, conservative, and ignorant, and a "woman in the new era" like them is not a person of the same world. In Sheng Shuyi's view, her cousins are arrogant, vain, and unrealistic, and the so-called "new trends" they pursue look grotesque and absurd.

You dislike me, I dislike you, I don't talk more than half a sentence, plus there is no contact, the two sides are becoming more and more estranged, saying that they are relatives, in fact, they are not much better than strangers.

In the past two days, the young ladies of the Sheng family have been specially mentioned by their parents, of course, with their own careful thoughts, it is rare to have the patience to be close to their cousins who are in elementary school. And Sheng Shuyi, after thinking that she would go abroad with her mother and Aunt Xu with that foreign doctor, she didn't know when she would be able to see these cousins again in the future, and she was sad, and she was not as serious as before.

You have affection, I have intentions. For a while, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.

On this day, Dr. Yang's son-in-law (who has received the marriage certificate in China) sent a few cages of thick and tender hairy crabs to the Sheng family, and Mrs. Sheng took advantage of this reason to open a crab feast, and invited the daughters, granddaughters and in-laws who married abroad, wanting to take the opportunity to get together and contact the relationship.

Dr. Field arrived early at the Sheng Mansion and went to the small courtyard where his wife and stepdaughter lived. His personality is very incommensurate with his bright appearance, and he is a rather reserved, quiet and conservative person. Although they had already received their marriage letters in Huaxia, as devout Christians, Dr. Field felt that they could only be considered unmarried without the witness of the pastor, so he did not mention the matter again after he tentatively proposed to let the Sheng family and his daughter move to his residence.

Entering the courtyard and seeing his wife standing under the porch, watching his daughter practice boxing not far away, Dr. Field subconsciously slowed down and walked over to the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight and pursued with enthusiasm that even he would have been startled by when he recalled it.

"Good morning, dear Cynthia. ”

"Good morning. Sheng Xiyu smiled and said "good morning" to him, and once again focused on her daughter, who had no distractions. In fact, she and this man did not fall in love in just over half a month as the outside world and even Sister Xu guessed. Their first encounter happened two years ago, at a banquet hosted by the Li family.

At that time, because the daughter-in-law of the Li family, who was good at dancing with the longest sleeve, sprained her foot in high heels, she, as the eldest granddaughter-in-law, had to come out to entertain guests. As a woman, she would not fail to perceive the burning gaze of a man who followed her. However, although she was one of the first women to accept the so-called "new ideas", she was extremely conservative in some aspects, such as being faithful to her marriage and being loyal to her partner. Therefore, even though she guarded her daughter as a living widow of the Li family at that time, she never thought of doing anything to shame her daughter and the family.

In fact, that first encounter was not a good memory for Sheng Xiyu. Because of Field's presumptuous eyes, she was already in a difficult situation in the Li family, not only did she not dare to angrily reprimand him, but she had to try her best to pretend to be casual to avoid him, otherwise, if she was discovered by the Li family, no matter whether she did anything wrong or not, the basin of dirty water would definitely be splashed on her. Therefore, she was tense throughout the banquet, and when she finally sent the guests back to the small courtyard, she had a fever that night and was so sick that she didn't get out of bed for several days. At that time, she felt that Meng Lang's foreign devil was very annoying, and she was blind with that human-like skin!

Later, Sheng Xiyu was detained by her mother-in-law and did not let her go out easily, and she was not taken with her for entertainment, she went out less, and the number of times she saw Field could be counted on five fingers, and when she saw that Field was not as out of shape as when she first met, she gradually left this person behind. It's just that the first impression is too bad, and when we meet again occasionally, we won't have a good feeling.

Until she divorced her ex-husband, after seeing through the faces of her mother's family, Sheng Xiyu worked hard to manage the connections she struggled to maintain when she was the grandmother of the Li family, and met again when she wanted to find a way to go abroad. He confessed his heart straight to the point, saying that if he married him, he would take their mother and daughter out of this place of right and wrong. Sheng Xiyu was very angry at first, thinking that this despicable prodigal was taking advantage of others. But she, a woman who has lived in the compound of the deep house for more than ten years, can she make friends with people who are useful?

After almost being cheated out of a large sum of money, Sheng Xiyu finally accepted his fate and accepted Field's proposal. To tell the truth, even if Field proposed marriage and courtesy according to the Chinese tradition, and gave her enough face, the unwillingness and humiliation in her heart did not dissipate because of this.

What made Sheng Xiyu's layered heart crack a crack was Field's attitude towards his daughter. Because the impression of Field Meng Lang lingered when they first met, Sheng Xiyu has been trying her best to prevent Field from meeting her daughter. But after they became husband and wife, there was no reason to stop them. However, before she could get ready, Field and her daughter met first when she was caught off guard.

It was just before the wedding feast began, and she, as the bride, was tripped and couldn't get out. Later, I heard Sister Xu say that it was the youngest daughter of her eldest sister's family who deliberately found fault and bullied the book, and Field happened to see it and went over to help her daughter out of the siege. This is a very simple matter, but Sheng Xiyu will never forget Sister Xu's complicated face and her words: "...... Our poor booklet whispered to me, 'Aunt Xu, it turns out that it feels like this to have her father's support!'......" Her book is sensitive and delicate, if she didn't feel it, she would never be able to say such a thing!

So, she let down her guard and began to let Field contact her daughter. It also turned out that Field lived up to her trust, he worked hard to please his daughter, and he tried hard to be a good father. Based on this alone, Sheng Xiyu is willing to give him a chance, and he is also willing to give himself a chance.

"Albert, have you had breakfast?" Sheng Shuyi jumped up to her mother and Dr. Field. Compared with her mother, she was very taboo about the word "father" since she was a child, but she accepted Dr. Field more easily. Perhaps subconsciously longing for her father's love too much, she has no resistance to Dr. Field, who is trying to please her and become a good father. Moreover, she trusted her instincts and believed in Dr. Field's affection for her mother. As for how long this relationship can last, and whether there will be problems as some dark-minded people speculate, Sheng Shuyi doesn't want to worry about it. She only knew that at this time, Field really liked her mother, and their mother and daughter and Aunt Xu needed his help if they wanted to go abroad smoothly and gain a firm foothold abroad! She experienced hardships too early, and she was destined to be unable to make trouble for that inexplicable emotion like ordinary children, and all she could do was to live up to her mother's efforts and try to share the pressure on her mother's shoulders.

"No, does Albert have the pleasure of having breakfast with Miss Books?" Dr. Field, who secretly observed his wife's expression, saw his wife's sudden gentle eyes after seeing Shu'er's intimate attitude towards him, and his heart snickered, it seems that his strategy of currying favor with his daughter is very far-sighted!

"Of course! Aunt Xu made fried buns today, you will definitely like ......" Although she tried her best to show her friendliness to Dr. Field, Sheng Shuyi couldn't pronounce the word "father" for a while. Fortunately, the foreigner didn't seem to care much about the address, and Field even offered to call him by his first name. Sheng Shuyi secretly asked her mother, and heard that foreigners seemed to have biological children who called their parents by their names, so she took the advice of Dr. Albert Field and called him "Albert".

Since listening to Sheng Shuyi's poignant "whispering", Aunt Xu has also changed her opinion of this foreign doctor who she originally thought was unreliable. She hasn't read any books, and she doesn't have much knowledge, but her love for books is real. In her opinion, the person who can make the book feel at ease must not be much worse!(To be continued.) )
