31. Chapter 031
Shen Shu took Brother Zhen back to the East Courtyard, and after putting him on the soft couch, he asked him, "Come, tell me, when you fought with Brother Yi before, did you fall somewhere?"
Brother Zhen shook his head and looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Mother, the fourth brother, he is really useless, obviously he made the first move, he cried before I even cried, I'm amazing!" The smug expression seemed to be waiting for Shen Shu to praise him.
Shen Shu smiled and patted his head, "Okay, Brother Zhen is the best." ”
The words fell, but I saw Brother Zhen suddenly gasp, and Baozi's face wrinkled.
"What's wrong?" asked Shen Shu hurriedly.
Brother Zhen grinned and shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Shen Shu believed that he had a ghost, thought about the location he had just encountered, and caught the person, ready to see what was going on. Brother Zhen'er struggled with his body moving around, "Mother, I'm really fine!"
"Obedient, let me see. Shen Shu said softly. Brother Zhen listened to her words, and somehow he really quieted down, and lay motionless obediently in her arms, letting her toss.
Shen Shu gently touched the place on his head with her hand, her fingers touched the thin and soft hair, and she groped a little bit, from the top of her head to the back of her head, and finally let her touch a bulge. When I scattered my hair and developed the filaments, I saw a bulge on the back of my head, which was slightly smaller than an egg.
"Dare to say it's okay!" Shen Shu glared at him, and then carefully observed it based on his years of fighting experience, there was no subcutaneous bruising, and the soft tissues didn't seem to be injured.
"Does it hurt?" asked Shen Shu.
Brother Zhen subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Shen Shuyan's expression, he nodded a little stiffly, and added after a while, "Actually, it doesn't hurt very much, it's okay if you don't touch it." ”
Shen Shu pinched his face instead, "You're still a child, I'm afraid of pain and there's nothing to be ashamed of, I was injured in a fight when I was young......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, and the conversation changed, "Let's let the doctor take a look." After speaking, he turned his head to Liuli on the side and said, "Go and ask the doctor to come to the house, just ask the one who came when Brother Yan'er was sick before." ”
Ruri nodded in response, turned and walked out the door.
Shen Shu turned around and saw Brother Zhen looking at her with a curious expression, "Mother, did you fight when you were a child?" his tone was a little incredulous.
Shen Shu was stunned for a moment, thought about it and nodded admitted, "Well, but that was a long, long time ago." ”
When Brother Zhen heard this, he became interested and pestered her and asked, "Mother, why are you fighting? Is it also because your brother stole your toys? Did you win?"
Shen Shu smiled, "You have to remember that no matter if you win or lose, fighting is never something to be proud of. "Shen Shu lived in that old-fashioned community when she was a child, and the relationship between neighbors was quite good, and she occasionally got into fights with other people's children, which did not affect her popularity among adults, because she had good grades and looked cute, and she was the first for the first time every year, and it was strange that she didn't win the first place that time, typical of other people's children. She won and lost fights, but basically every time she was lectured by her parents afterwards.
Shen Shu accompanied Brother Zhen to talk for a while, and Liuli came with the old doctor last time. After entering the house, he saluted Shen Shu first, and then asked Shen Shu what was going on. Shen Shu said briefly, pulled Brother Zhen and lowered his head so that the doctor could look at the back of his head. After the doctor checked it carefully, he checked the pulse again, and finally withdrew his hand and said to Shen Shu, "The little boy's injury is not serious, apply some stasis cream after the cold compress, or it will be dispersed in two days, remember to wipe it lightly." ”
Shen Shu nodded, thanked the doctor, and asked Liuli to take the consultation fee and hand it to him, originally planned to let Liuli send people out of the house, but suddenly remembered the situation on Aunt Zhou's side, and I didn't know if she had invited a doctor, so she said to Liuli, "You take the doctor to the flower hall first, and then let people go to the West Courtyard to ask if you have invited the doctor, if not, come back and invite the doctor, if you invite you, send the doctor out." ”
Liuli opened her mouth to say something, and led the doctor out.
Shen Shu left Brother Zhen in the East Courtyard, and in the evening, Sister Hui also came over, her steps were hurried, her expression was worried, and when she saw that Brother Zhen was fine, Amber repeated the doctor's words again, and she calmed down, and then asked Shen Shu on the side to say goodbye.
After Shen Shu asked her to sit down, she asked her, "The maid who was waiting by Brother Zhen'er's side was originally kneeling in the courtyard, and I made the decision to let people close the firewood room first, what to do, you can make up your own mind." ”
Regarding the punishment of subordinates, Shen Shu didn't want to interfere at all, because there were only two kinds of punishments, deducting wages or dismissal. She felt that Sister Hui would probably think that the former was too light, and the latter was too strict, so she simply let it go and decided for herself when she came back.
Sister Hui was stunned when she heard this, and then said, "Mother is in charge." ”
Shen Shu only smiled and shook her head, but did not speak.
Sister Hui'er sighed when she saw this, and sighed in her heart that Shen Shu was still too soft-hearted, and she was like this in her previous life, she couldn't even bear to beat and scold people, and she didn't know how this temperament was cultivated. She called the mother-in-law who was waiting by her side and instructed her to go down, "Make ten boards, deduct one month's salary, and if there is a next time, go directly to the outer courtyard." ”
The mother-in-law took the order and retreated.
Shen Shu asked Sister Hui again, "Aunt Zhou, what do you think?"
When Sister Hui heard this, her face turned cold, "Mother is just too easy-going, so she has no rules, but she is just a servant of people, and she dares to call herself a mother to Brother Yi'er." It's only been a long time since her father handed over the stewardship to her, and her ambition has already been revealed, which shows that she is not a duty in her bones!" she said this, and looked at Shen Shu, "I know that my mother doesn't like to hear it, but I still have to say this, this stewardship mother should really take over, otherwise Aunt Zhou will only rely on this point to become more and more presumptuous, not to mention me and Brother Zhen, even my mother will sooner or later ignore it." ”
Shen Shu thought for a while and said to her, "If you are really worried about this, how about I take it over and hand it over to you?" ”
Although Shen Shu can't agree with some of Sister Hui'er's ideas, she won't deny them. Now I stick to the bottom line and get by, and I will not impose my ideas on Sister Hui'er, because Sister Hui'er still has a long life, and if she wants to live well in the future, she should abide by the rules of this society, instead of being out of place like Shen Shu.
Sister Hui didn't expect her to propose such a proposal, she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, looked at Shen Shu with a somewhat complicated expression, and finally nodded in response, "If my mother really doesn't want to take care of these mundane things, I will share it for my mother." ”
Shen Shu smiled and talked to her about something else. After that, it didn't take long for it to be dinner, and after the three of them had dinner at the same table, they talked some more gossip, and Sister Hui left with Brother Zhen.
——
Early the next morning, after using it too early, Sister Hui took the maid to the West Courtyard. She went to ask for the guilt, her face was condensed, she was only an eight-year-old child, but her deep eyes made people feel a little panicked.
Hearing that Sister Hui was coming, Aunt Zhou was a little surprised, and just wanted the maid to invite people in, she heard a somewhat immature voice coming from the door, "Aunt is really majestic, but she is just a slave, and she also raised the master's shelf, I want to see you, and I have to get your consent!"
When Aunt Zhou heard this, her face became ugly for a moment, but in the end, she endured it, and when she turned to face Sister Hui'er, she had that gentle and pitiful expression, and said in a half-joking tone, "Where did I dare to stop Sister Hui'er, but because Sister Hui had never come to my West Courtyard, it was inevitable that she was a little surprised, and she didn't react for a while, Sister Hui'er came here and sat down, I'm tired of walking for so long, I'll make tea?"
Sister Hui walked all the way to her and sat down, with a mocking smile on her face, "Auntie doesn't have to be so troublesome, I came here today just to ask for justice for Brother Zhen." ”
Aunt Zhou smiled, "It's just a joke between children, where is it worth Sister Hui'er to come over so much." ”
Sister Hui sneered, "Auntie didn't say that yesterday. In front of his mother and maid, he blamed all the mistakes on Brother Zhen, and also talked about the concubine, alluding to Brother Zhen'er bullying Brother Yi with his identity, and the dirty water was splashed smoothly. Mother took Brother Zhen back yesterday and found that he had a bag on the back of his head, and it would take several days to disperse.
Aunt Zhou was dumbfounded by her, and she was even more surprised in her heart, thinking that Sister Hui seems to be the most gentle and obedient on weekdays, why does she speak so stingly today, didn't Shen Shu teach her? But what is Shen Shu's picture of doing this?
She was thinking about it, so she heard Sister Hui say again, "I'm not the kind of unreasonable person, until the point is over, the maid who is waiting next to Brother Zhen I let me make ten boards and deduct a month's monthly money, Brother Yi'er's side doubled, twenty boards for two months' monthly money is not too much, after all, they don't take good care of it." As for Brother Yi'er, tell him to go to Brother Zhen'er's yard to apologize to him, even if this matter is over, how about it?"
Since Shen Yu went, Aunt Zhou has been in charge of the house, and she has never suffered any grievances since then, and the people below only flatter her, where dare to say half a sentence is not, and gradually raise her ambition, otherwise she would not dare to splash dirty water in front of Shen Shu and say that the black is white. She wasn't even afraid of Shen Shu, where would she be afraid of Sister Hui'er, the child was immediately cleaned, and said coldly, "It's normal for children to laugh and play, where is it worth making such a fuss, if you let the uncle know, I'm afraid that I will say that Mrs. and Sister are not tolerant." ”
Sister Hui not only did not get scared when she heard this, but laughed, she got up and walked to Aunt Zhou's side, looked at her carefully, and leaned over to her ear, "Do you know why my father spoiled you? Because you are somewhat similar to my mother." But why is she a little less favored than you, have you ever wondered why?"
