Chapter 177: Compromise

Ask for a monthly pass and strive for a change

******

Xia Xiucai did not take a few children into the house, but took them under the cherry tree. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis season, the cherries are long gone, but the leaves are lush.

Several children stood under the cherry tree and watched Xia Xiucai.

Xia Zhi could probably guess what Xia Xiucai was going to say, but she still wanted to hear it with her own ears. This time I went to the backer Tun'er, and she gained a lot. Xia Qiao had already made his choice, and Xia Xiucai made a move to support Tian at that time. In Xia Zhi's opinion, she preferred Xia Xiucai out of pity for the Tian family.

So now, it's time for Xia Xiucai to make a statement.

Facing the clear eyes of several children, Xia Xiucai pondered for a long time before slowly speaking. "Daqiao, Sixteen, Little Tree, you ...... You all misunderstood you~ Mother. ”

"Dad, what did we misunderstand my mother?" Xia Zhi asked, his tone very calm.

"I know, you must have heard a lot of bad things about your grandmother's family from the villagers who supported the mountain. You are still young, and you will believe all that they say. ”

"Dad, do you know what the backers told us?" Xia Zhi asked again, still with a case-by-case attitude.

"Oh. Did they say that your grandmother's family gave birth to a girl and didn't support it, and she was thrown into the mountains?" Xia Xiucai said, an indescribable look flashing on her face.

Summer Solstice nodded. "That's exactly what the big guy said. Dad, do you think this is true or false?"

"Oh," Xia Xiucai's voice sped up a bit, "Your grandmother and their family did throw children, but they were all dead children." I was born without gas, or I died young. Your grandmother's popularity is not very good, so there is everything in the tunzi. ”

In this era, there is a shortage of medical treatment, and there is no emphasis on eugenics, but there are many children who are born but do not survive, and there are many children who die young, almost every household has them. Such children are not buried in the regular grave, and are generally thrown into the mountains and ditches to be buried.

And then the ranking of the family, naturally, will not count them.

What Xia Xiucai meant was that Old Man Tian didn't throw live children into the mountains to feed the wolves, they threw dead children.

"Dad, do you believe that?" Xia Zhi didn't bother to argue with Xia Xiucai, she just looked into Xia Xiucai's eyes and asked.

Xia Xiucai's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Xia Zhi smiled: "Dad, when I came back to my brother yesterday evening, I said that my brother went into the mountain to see the baby who was thrown away. Do you remember what my grandmother's family looked like at that time? Why did my aunt go out crying? Dad, think about it, stop making a fool of yourself. ”

Speaking of the Jiang family's face at that time, he ran out crying, and Xia Zhi was quite impressed by this incident. Jiang's performance at that time can only show one thing, that is, the Tian family's incident of throwing a baby girl into the mountains to feed the wolves did not end in Tian's generation.

After giving birth to the eldest and second girls, hasn't the Jiang family been pregnant with any more children over the years? Uncle Tian and the Jiang family are still in their prime, and they only have one son, and they are still stupid sons, don't they want to have more sons?

The eldest girl and the second girl are only less than two years apart, which is very revealing.

The Jiang clan must have also had their own flesh and blood thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. However, the Jiang family is different from the Tian Wang family, no matter whether she is a daughter or son, she should be regarded as her own child, and she still has a good conscience in treating her own flesh and blood, so she will be so out of shape when she is suddenly mentioned.

Xia Xiucai's face became more and more ugly, but he believed that the Tian family's words were unspeakable.

"My mother was thrown into the mountains when she was born, and she was picked up by her two sisters. Dad, you don't know about this yet, do you?" Xia Zhi took the opportunity to say again.

"Is there such a thing?" Xia Xiucai's surprise was not faked.

It seems that Xia Xiucai's understanding of the Tian family over the years is not as good as what she knows about the Tian family once. Xia Zhi sighed secretly, that is, people like Xia Xiucai would be deceived by the Tian family for so many years.

"Dad, this is what my grandmother told us about the bolt pillar who lives on the same street as my grandmother, and we call her the fifth grandmother. She grew up watching my mother. Dad, if you still don't believe me, you can ask for it yourself. Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiucai very sincerely.

Xia Xiucai sighed again and again. Although he didn't listen to the things outside the window, he only read the books of sages and sages, and he was not very good at general affairs, but he had a basic judgment. The performance of Old Man Tian's family was not seamless, and when he listened to Old Man Tian and Tian Wang's explanation to him, he was suspicious in his heart, and he had a certain judgment.

Now that Xia Zhi helped him analyze it, Xia Xiucai naturally understood what was going on.

Moreover, the Tian family was even thrown away, which was something that Xia Xiucai never expected.

"You~ mother definitely don't know. Hey, don't let her know, she feels uncomfortable in the province. At this time, Xia Xiucai's first choice was to worry about Tian's mood.

Xia Zhi smiled and said mercilessly: "Dad, I'm afraid my mother already knew about this." "Grandma Zhuzhu's mouth is not a secret. Since she watched the Tian sisters grow up, she must have the opportunity to get close to the Tian family. Eight ~ nine times out of ten, Tian also knew that he was thrown away when he was born.

But apparently, Tian chose to forget about it.

But can this kind of thing really be forgotten?

Xia Xiucai was contemplated by Xia Zhi's words.

"Dad, do you have anything else to say?" Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiucai and fell into deep thought, as if he had forgotten the current matter, so he reminded him out loud.

"By the way, one more thing. Xia Xiucai came back to his senses, and he coughed dryly, "It's you...... The matter of Sister Da Yue'er. Your grandmother was really sick at the time, and she couldn't do it now. That's why you~ mother...... Later, your grandmother's illness was cured again......"

"Dad, do you believe it?" Xia Zhi interrupted Xia Xiucai's words, "If that's the case, why don't they return the money, why doesn't my mother take the money to exchange my eldest sister Yue'er back?"

It is an indisputable fact that the money from the sale of Xia Yue was finally exchanged for five large tiled houses and a large courtyard of Old Man Tian's family. The evidence is ironclad, and any quibbling is in vain.

"Dad, you can really bear it!" Xia Zhi looked directly at Xia Xiucai.

Xia Xiucai couldn't stand Xia Zhi's gaze and hurriedly looked away. He stood there, his body stiff, but his lips and hands trembled slightly.

Seeing Xia Xiucai's reaction, Xia Zhi knew that Xia Xiucai should have just known these things. Is it because he can't face the cruel and cold-blooded reality, so he chooses to escape and choose to deceive himself? Or is it because he loves Tian more than anything else, and he chooses to do it for Tian's sake?

Xia Zhi was looking at Xia Xiucai, and at the same time figuring out Xia Xiucai's thoughts. Xia Xiucai stood there stiffly, but his heart almost collapsed. He originally listened to the words of Old Man Tian, Tian Wang and others at Tian's house, and was asked by Tian for a long time, so when he came back, he talked to a few children, so that they could not misunderstand the Tian family and not the Tian family.

But without saying a few words, he was persuaded by Xia Zhi.

The so-called misunderstanding of the Tian family is not a misunderstanding at all.

In fact, along the way, he has faintly figured out in his heart what the true ~ phase is. It is true that as Xia Zhi guessed, he is somewhat unable to face such a reality.

In addition, it is to maintain the harmony and stability of this family, as well as the heart of the Tian family, so he insisted on saying those words to a few children.

Seeing that Xia Xiucai's face was getting worse and worse, Xia Zhi immediately made a decision, and asked Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er to support Xia Xiucai, and they didn't go to the house, but went straight to the backyard.

Tian may have heard something wrong outside in the house, so he chased him out. When she walked to the door of the house, she saw several children hugging Xia Xiucai and going to the backyard.

Tian hurriedly chased out: "Why are you going? Why don't you go back to the house?"

"Mother, my dad fainted. Xia Zhi turned around and said this, and then urged Xia Qiao to speed up his pace, and everyone entered the gate of the backyard.

Tian felt bad in his heart, chased all the way to the gate of the backyard, and then stopped. It seemed that there was an invisible moat at the gate of the backyard, and Tian knew that she should chase Xia Xiucai back immediately, but in the face of this moat, she hesitated.

As soon as she hesitated, she completely lost the opportunity.

Xia Zhi's children helped Xia Xiucai to go to the backyard.

Old man Xia was sitting on the kang and talking to Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia was smiling, and she was sewing clothes cut out of the gauze ruler bought by Xia Zhi.

Seeing Xia Xiucai being surrounded by children, Old Man Xia was startled. Xia Xiucai's face was too ugly!

"What's going on, what's wrong. Da Luozi, what are you doing, don't scare Dad. Old Man Xia hurriedly got off the kang and held Xia Xiucai with his own hands. In a hurry, his old man called out the nickname of Xia Xiucai, who had not been called for many years.

Xia Xiucai was already a little relieved at this time, he saw that his old father was so anxious, and hurriedly said, "Dad, I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

"You're okay, your face is gone. When Old Man Xia saw Xia Xiucai speak, his heart was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly helped Xia Xiucai to sit on the kang.

Mrs. Xia also hurriedly put down the clothes she was sewing and went out to pour Xia Xiucai a cup of strong hot tea. In this weather, Xia Xiucai didn't feel hot when he took the hot tea, so he drank it in three or two sips.

After drinking the hot tea, Xia Xiucai's face was a little better again.

At this time, Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San also heard the movement and rushed over. "Otherwise, I'll pick up Langzhong for my brother. Uncle Xia said.

Xia Xiucai hurriedly stopped Uncle Xia: "No, no, I don't have anything." "If Lang Zhong is brought to the house, this matter will be noisy. Xia Xiucai didn't want to make a noise about it.

Old Man Xia looked at his eldest son, and then at Xia Zhi, and almost had some score in his heart, so he waved his hand and didn't let Uncle Xia go to invite Langzhong.

Everyone was either sitting on the kang or standing underground, all looking at Xia Xiucai.

Xia Xiucai was a little uncomfortable when everyone looked at her. He didn't want to go to the backyard himself, but he was a little distracted at the time, and he was brought by the children. He seemed to have heard Tian call him, he could stand at that time, but being hugged by the children was one thing, and on the other hand, he didn't want to stand at that time.

And just like that, he went to the backyard.

In this situation, everyone looked at him, and he couldn't do without an explanation. Xia Xiucai estimated in his heart that what happened in the Tian family, Xia Zhi should have told Old Man Xia.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Xiucai sighed.

"Say, there's no outsider here. Old Man Xia said to Xia Xiucai.

"It was like I was in a dream. Xia Xiucai said meaninglessly.

"It's good to wake up from a dream. Old Man Xia was concise and to the point.

Xia Xiucai was dumbfounded. "Dad, all these years, do you blame me?"

Old Man Xia glanced at Xia Xiucai: "What do you say? I don't blame you for telling lies." But if I really want to blame you, I would have ignored you a long time ago. You are willing to be a cheap son for Lao Tian's family, but you are still surnamed Xia!" means that Lao Tzu gave birth to you, and there is no way but to be responsible for you to the end. "Think about it yourself, right, right, a few children, right, not yourself. ”

Xia Xiucai lowered his head in shame.

Old Man Xia understands his son's character, and he doesn't expect him to wake up from a dream and do something drasticly.

"You have such a temperament, you should listen to more sixteen things in the future. ”

Xia Xiucai lifted her eyelids to look at Xia Zhi, and then looked at Xia Qiao and Xiaoshu'er who were standing with her, so she nodded and hummed lowly.

Xia Zhi was a little relieved to watch from the side, but also a little speechless. Old Man Xia just said these two sentences and it was over, this is too doting on Xia Xiucai, it's all right.

When he heard that Old Man Xia asked Xia Xiucai to listen to her more, Xia Xiucai also agreed. Xia Zhi knew that it was time to speak for himself.

"Dad, we were all deceived by them in the past. Now that we have understood, we have also set a new charter. ”

"What's the new charter?" Xia Xiucai raised his head and asked.

"I'll mention a few things, how about we discuss and decide?" Xia Zhi said.

"Good. "Old man Xia was the first to say yes. Everyone naturally nodded along with each other, and Xia Xiucai had no objections.

"First, we will no longer have dealings with the Tian family in the future, and we will no longer subsidize the Tian family. Dad, we're not going to the backers anymore, so don't go anymore. Xia Solstice said first.

Xia Xiucai was silent and did not agree immediately.

"I won't go again. Xia Qiao spoke first, "When I see that house and that yard, I feel uncomfortable. It was exchanged for my eldest sister, and it is estimated that it was exchanged for my eldest sister's life. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Qiao's eye circles turned red again.

Xiao Shu'er immediately agreed. "I've never been to his house for the rest of my life. ”

"That's ...... after all," Xia Xiucai said weakly, but was immediately interrupted by Old Man Xia.

"Is that your own father? Your own father will sell your daughter to build a house for himself? Don't be surnamed Xia, go to the backing mountain and follow their surname Tian!"

Xia Xiucai closed his eyes: "Okay, I won't go any further." ”
