One hundred and sixty-seven. stand corrected
Xie Xiuda's face was as red as blood, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he said angrily: "That girl is a member of my Xie family! I am an elder of the Xie family!"
"You can pull it down," Xie Xiu admonished, "Everyone is married, and the newspaper is also published, maybe the foreign ancestors of the mother-in-law's family are now worshipped! ”
Xie Xiuda paused his crutches and said, "Then she won't come back to this house in her life!"
Xie Xiujie sneered: "People's fathers and mothers haven't said anything, you, who are uncles and grandfathers, have become more and more arrogant, why, do you really think of yourself as an old patriarch? Aren't you afraid that the second brother will come to you at night?"
Xie Xiuda didn't speak for a while, he returned to his seat and sat down, slowly calming down: "My heart is open and honest for the Xie family, I wish my second brother would come to me at night." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed outside the door, "Third brother, I respect you as the third brother of the same generation, I don't want to be difficult for you, in front of the ancestors, I don't want to say anything unpleasant, you go out by yourself." ”
Xie Xiujie moved his butt on the chair: "If you want to drive me out of the ancestral hall, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications." ”
Xie Xiuda snorted coldly: "Please take care of yourself." ”
They had this dispute in the ancestral hall, and the whole family was watching, but no one interrupted them, including Xie Daozhong, who was the patriarch, and Xie Huai'an, who was the party. Today, five of the seven mansions of the Xie family rely on the yarn mills set up by Xie Huai'an to maintain a superior life, and three of them share profits from the pharmacies run by Xie Huai'an and George.
Xie Huai'an watched this farce silently, he didn't know why Xie Xiujie protected him, but he knew the reason why Xie Xiuda was in trouble - what he did violated Xie Xiuda's consistent principles, he couldn't tolerate being an elder brother but supporting and even helping his sister elope, so he wanted to interrogate him in front of his ancestors and ancestors.
He walked to the futon in the ancestral hall and knelt down, knelt on the green brick next to the futon, and bowed his head: "Uncle, I was wrong. ”
Xie Xiuda didn't expect him to bow his head so easily and admit his mistake, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You...... Do you know that you are wrong?"
Xie Huaian nodded: "I know that I am wrong, I should not condone Ah Tian's elopement." ”
Xie Xiuda gasped: "Ah Tian has really eloped away?"
Xie Huai'an said: "I have taken a boat to England to hold a Catholic wedding. ”
Xie Xiuda was furious, and when he slammed his crutches on his back, he made a dull sound: "How dare you corrupt your sister like this!"
"Uncle Mingjian, I didn't ruin my sister!" Xie Huai'an defended, "The two of them have been in love with each other for a long time, and George has also traveled thousands of miles to invite the countess to cross the ocean to protect the media, but he has no choice but to refuse for his parents, and Ah Tian's engagement is imminent, they are really desperate, so they have this trick." ”
Xie Xiuqing asked: "You said your parents didn't agree, why didn't they agree?"
Xie Huaian did not hesitate, and replied honestly: "Because George has not invited his parents to come to discuss the marriage. ”
Xie Xiuqing then asked, "Did his parents agree?"
Xie Huai settled for a moment: "No." ”
Xie Xiuda hit the floor tiles with his cane again: "His parents didn't agree, and neither did your parents, but you still insisted on going your own way and connived at their elopement!"
Xie Huaian said loudly: "Uncle, before they left, they announced their marriage. This trip is also a religious wedding according to the rules of the George family, and I will return to China to hold a Chinese wedding in the coming day.
Xie Xiuda laughed angrily: "Dignified? Let me ask you, do the two of them have any matchmakers? Do they have the order of their parents? If Ah Tian marries him, can he go to the church to worship his ancestors, be included in his family tree, and be taken care of by his clan?"
Xie Huaian was stunned, he had never considered these questions.
Xie Xiuda said: "Your repeated words are nothing more than newspapers and weddings, but how many weddings are not given to men and women in private? ”
When Xie Xiuqing, who had died down, heard this, he wanted to say two sentences, but he was stopped by Xie Xiuqing with his eyes, he also knew the severity, and closed his mouth.
And Xie Huai'an was already sweating after being asked by Xie Xiuda.
Xie Xiuda sighed in the chair: "Huai'an, Huai'an, I believe that you will never push your sister into the fire pit, but you are young in the end, you don't know the weight of marriage, you made such a big mistake, you say it yourself, how to get punished." ”
Wu Xinyi was originally waiting outside the door, but when he heard this, he came over, and he didn't enter the door, but stood outside the threshold: "Uncle, please let me say a word." ”
Xie Xiuda looked at her: "Grandma, please speak." ”
Wu Xinyi pursed her lips, her fingers pinched her cuffs tightly because of nervousness, and she considered the words and said: "Ning Yin did something wrong, the punishment should be punished, copying the family rules and kneeling in the ancestral hall, and even hitting the board is not too much." But now that the matter has come to this, it is better to think about the way to save it first. ”
"Save?" Xie Xiuda repeated, "When the newspapers and periodicals have been published and the people have left, how can they be saved? ”
Wu Xinyi asked, "Uncle thinks Ah Tian married the wrong person?"
Xie Xiuda was heartbroken: "You should be married, but maybe people just have an outer room!"
Although Wu Xinyi believed in George's personality very much, Xie Xiuda's words also made her couldn't help but be shocked, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, George was a foreigner in the end. In this way, he took Ah Tian to the ocean to get a marriage that both parents did not agree to.
Wu Xinyi went to Xie Daozhong again: "Father, you speak." ”
Xie Daozhong didn't say a word the whole time, and didn't speak until this moment: "Ah Tian's marriage, Huai'an and you are kind to do bad things, I don't know how to make up for it, I can only hope that you didn't see the wrong person." ”
"But once you read the wrong ......" he didn't say any more, but Xie Huai'an and Wu Xinyi both knew what the consequences would be if they were wrong-Xie Wantian's whole life would be buried in this look-away.
Wu Xinyi's tears slowly flowed, she walked into the ancestral hall and knelt down beside Xie Huai'an, crying silently.
Xie Daozhong lowered his eyes and looked at his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, don't turn his face to sigh deeply, he thought that there would be a fierce argument, and even prepared his words, but he didn't expect Xie Huai'an to kneel down and admit his mistake so easily.
He didn't even know if Xie Huai'an really knew his mistakes, or if he was just pretending to be a gesture and confusing them old antiques. Xie Huaian rarely said anything to him now, perhaps because he felt that he had been left behind by the times.
Xie Daozhong sighed again: "You have already started a family, in front of your wife, I will not beat you on the board, nor will I punish you for copying those family rules that you have already memorized, you can kneel in this ancestral hall until you feel that you are enough." ”
There was still no sound, and those who were called seemed to have just come to be a set to accentuate the solemnity of the atmosphere.
Xie Daozhong raised his head and looked around at these silent clansmen: "Disperse." ”
"Wait. Mrs. Ming of Sanfu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "Our Xie family has broken the rules, the patriarch has never been so soft-hearted, this time raise your noble hand, is it because it was your son who made the mistake?"
Xie Daozhong frowned: "What does the third lady mean by this?"
Mrs. Ming said: "Master Mingjian, if my son does such a thing, it will be light to beat the board, and I have to lock him up, and now the eldest master only asks Uncle An to kneel in the ancestral hall, and he has the final say on how long he kneels, what else can I mean?"
"Oh, the third lady is not satisfied," Xie Daozhong nodded, "and what is your opinion?"
Xie Huai'an didn't look up, he knew what Mrs. Ming had in mind.
Sure enough, the debt-ridden woman spoke: "I think he has to be locked up and locked up for three months to reflect on himself." ”
Xie Xiujie interjected: "Three months? To put it lightly, Huai'an is usually entangled in everything, so why don't you just come back from Shanghai, how can you have time to be locked up for three months." ”
Mrs. Ming said: "Our family is full of talents, can't we find one to help him take care of his business?"
Xie Xiujie let out a long sigh: "What the third wife said is also reasonable, then who in our family can take care of Huai'an's business?"
Mrs. Ming looked around from the left: "I see...... Huai Xu is good, isn't Huai Xu in charge of the yarn factory?"
Xie Huaixu, who was named, has always hated the Sanfu family that eats more and occupies more, and he doesn't want to accept Mrs. Ming's good sales, so he immediately said: "The third wife thinks highly of me, I am just a worker, and I don't have ideas." ”
Mrs. Ming was embarrassed for a moment, and said: "If Huaicheng can't do it, my son Huaicheng has also done the business of a yarn factory, and it is also appropriate to help his brother for two or three months." ”
Xie Huaixu sneered: "The third wife has a heart, but I don't know if the debts owed by Cousin Huaicheng as a yarn factory have been paid off? ”
Mrs. Ming was humiliated by him so weirdly, her face couldn't hold back, and she said to Xie Xiuqing: "Old lady, that's how you taught your grandson, teach him to talk to his elders like this!"
Xie Xiuqing snorted: "I don't care what the yarn factory does, I don't rely on that to eat, and I don't say anything." ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and left.
Xie Huaixu hurriedly chased after him and helped him, took two steps, and then turned his head and said to Mrs. Ming: "If you want me to say, don't worry about the third wife, anyway, we don't have any shares in the factory, why should the third wife bother with other people's hearts?"
Mrs. Ming was angry: "This ...... Isn't this kid for the good of the whole family?"
Xie Xiujie smiled again: "Come on, third wife, just worry about your own family's affairs." ”
As he spoke, he also stood up: "Brother just kneel, if that foreign son-in-law can be trusted, then this karma has to be thanks to Brother An." ”
The people in the ancestral hall retreated in turn, Xie Daozhong stayed at the end, he seemed to say something to Xie Huai'an, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak. The aging father carefully observed Xie Huai'an's expression, speculating about his true thoughts now, just like speculating that he thought he was a colleague in officialdom.
Finally, he repeated Fang Cai's words: "You kneel here, kneel until you think enough is enough." ”
