11. Chapter 011
Xie Changning never expected Shen Shu to say such a thing, and for a moment, the expression on his face was enough to describe it as shock, "You ......" He spoke, and he was stuck after only saying one word, not knowing how to continue.
Shen Shu was about to continue, when she suddenly felt her sleeves being gently pulled, she looked down and saw that it was Sister Hui'er's little hand, and Brother Zhen was also looking at her with her head up and blinking with big eyes.
Shen Shu was stunned.
Sister Hui didn't speak, just looked at her with her eyes, and her black and white eyes were full of pleading. Shen Shu probably knew what Sister Hui wanted to say, even if she knew that there might be a soul about the same age as her living in this young body, but being looked at by such a pair of eyes, she still couldn't help but soften her heart and wanted to condone her to obey her wishes.
If it was something else, Shen Shu might have surrendered, but now this matter cannot be compromised. Once she takes over the errand of being in charge of the backyard, she and Xie Changning will have more intersections with the world, she has her own values, she doesn't want to change them, and she doesn't expect others to accommodate her.
This mentality makes her out of place in the world, so she traps herself in a small courtyard and strives to be less conspicuous. Because she knows that if she stands in front of more people, as long as she refuses to change and integrate into this world, sooner or later she will become the target of public criticism.
In this dynasty where people are divided into three, six, nine and other categories, and women are more inferior, she neither wants to lose this unexpected life, nor does she want to integrate into it, so she can only live extra carefully. Shen Shu accepted this very calmly, after all, there is no good thing in the world that only enjoys rights and does not fulfill obligations, as long as she does not cross her bottom line, she can endure it no matter how difficult her life is.
She occupies this body, Sister Hui and Brother Zhen are responsibilities that she can't get rid of, and in addition, she will never touch her hands if she can save other things. The power to manage the backyard is one of them.
Shen Shu patted Sister Hui'er's hand gently, and then touched Brother Zhen'er's head while saying to her, "Sister Hui'er, I have something to say to your father, you can take Brother Zhen back to rest first." ”
Shen Shu didn't know what would happen to her discussing this issue with Xie Changning in the end, and maybe there would be a dispute. Sister Hui'er is in a special situation, so don't worry too much, but Brother Zhen is still too young, so it's not good for him to see it. Adults always think that children are not sensible when they are young, and they will quickly forget what they see when they see it, and they basically can't remember the things they did when they were young, in fact, this is not the case, children are indeed easy to forget a lot of things, but the things they remember must be very important, enough to have an impact on their lives.
The family environment will have an impact on a child's growth, and Shen Shu doesn't know if the people of the Southern Dynasty care about this, but she stubbornly believes that it is best not to quarrel between adults in front of children.
Sister Hui didn't understand why Shen Shu refused Xie Changning's suggestion, as the housemother of the family, the right to be a housekeeper should have been in her hands. She wanted to persuade Shen Shu to agree, so she went to pull her sleeve, but seeing her insistent and uncompromising expression, somehow, what Shen Shu had said before suddenly appeared in her mind.
“…… I know you're doing it for my good, but Sister Hui, have you asked me, have you asked me if I'd like to?......"
Sister Hui didn't insist anymore, and after nodding her head, she coaxed Brother Zhen'er, said goodbye to Xie Changning and Shen Shu, and took his little hand and went out.
The people who were waiting in the room were also discerning, and when they saw Sister Hui and Brother Zhen leaving, they also retreated together, and after the door was pulled shut and there was a soft sound, only Shen Shu and Xie Changning were left in the room.
"What do you want to say when you took the child away with your subordinates?" Xie Changning asked.
Shen Shu replied, "Regarding the matter of being in charge of the backyard, I don't want to take over, so let's continue to be managed by Aunt Zhou." ”
When Xie Changning heard this, his face turned cold, "Shen Shu, haven't I already explained, Aunt Zhou is just in charge, there has been a gap of one year between Shen Yu's departure and your marriage, and this backyard can't be taken care of by no one, why do you have to hold on to this?"
Shen Shu didn't know why Xie Changning could misinterpret her words like this, but instead of being angry, she felt that she wanted to laugh, if she was really not a person from the world, no one could understand anyone's thoughts. She looked at Xie Changning with a serious expression, "I didn't misunderstand anything, I just think it's good to keep the status quo, what it was before, there is no need to change it now, Aunt Zhou takes care of the backyard very well, and there is nothing wrong with it, isn't it?"
Xie Changning sneered, "I also said before that you were in charge of the backyard, but you didn't want to, but now you are obsessed, it's really ridiculous." ”
The more he was like this, the more calm Shen Shu felt that he felt, "I didn't want to take care of it before, and I don't want to take it over now, and I haven't complained about anything in the middle, I want to ask, where do you see that I'm angry?"
"You ......" Xie Changning was once again out of words.
"I repeat, I don't want to take over the stewardship because I really feel that this is fine now, and there is no need to change anything. Shen Shu was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she thought about it and added, "If this is not sincere at all, let me be hit by five thunderbolts." ”
"Well, you should believe what I say. ”
"If you suddenly mention this because I saved Brother Yan'er, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this, I didn't save him to get anything, just because of responsibility and conscience. "Even if the person who was in danger at that time was not Xie Changning's child, just an ordinary person, as long as she met it, she would do her best.
I don't know if I really believed it, or I couldn't think of how to refute it for a while, after Shen Shu's voice fell, Xie Changning's eyes suddenly fell on her, and after examining it back and forth, he didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, and got up and left.
Xie Changning's face was a little gloomy when she left, but Shen Shu didn't care, she was even happy to see that Xie Changning was even more snub to her because of this, and it was better to forget about her development as a person. Although this situation can only be imagined in the mind, it is impossible to become a reality.
Not long after Xie Changning left, Shen Shu fell asleep.
She originally thought that this matter would end here, but two days later, Brother Yan'er's nurse suddenly hugged the child over, followed by a few maids, who were carrying things to the yard.
Only then did Shen Shu know that it was Xie Changning who ordered him to take Brother Yan'er in her room to raise him.
The nurse hugged Brother Yan to Shen Shu and asked Shen Shu to say goodbye, and taught him to call his mother one by one.
Shen Shu looked at Brother Yan with an expressionless face, and after a while, I saw him suddenly grinning, and two little fat hands reached out to her, accompanied by unclear words, "...... Kiss...... Kiss...... Embrace...... Hug ......"
