Because Ruhai is so eager for quick success, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law is a little disliked. Hearing him bring out the sixth brother again, my heart became more and more disappointed in him. Since the sixth brother joined the army, she has not eaten well and slept well. This year is ten years old, but this little beast is still so unconscious. Rarely put on his face and reprimanded Sister-in-law Xia: "The rebel son you raised." ”

He also instructed Yan Zhao: "Go and invite the ancestral tablet out and put it in the West House." ”

When everyone saw it, they thought they were going to punish Ruhai for kneeling on the tablet, but they didn't stop it. Where did I think of it, Xiao Xia Pozi pointed to Sister-in-law Xia and said: "For the sake of this family, the man in your family doesn't want his fame, and he works hard in the fields every day." I also treat you as a clan wife, respect you, protect you, and refuse to give you no face in front of my younger brothers and sisters. You open your eyes and look at what you have raised, and you dare to poke my heart. ”

Tears fell as he spoke, and with a wave of his hand, he actually asked Sister-in-law Xia to kneel on the ancestral tablet.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Ruhai, Rushan, Qin'er and Ruhao were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged Xiao Xia Pozi.

Xiao Xia Pozi pointed to a few of them and said to Brother Xia: "Okay, good, you have raised good children." ”

Brother Xia hurriedly went over and kicked Rushan and Ruhao up one by one. And he asked them to pull the harp up, but it was like the sea that knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He only said, "It's all my fault, and my grandmother will punish me if she wants to." ”

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law pointed at Brother Xia and said, "If your son dares to kneel here again, you can quickly write me a letter of resignation, such a daughter-in-law can teach such a grandson." I'm not rare. If you don't write, just roll with your daughter-in-law. ”

Turn your head and ask the starling to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Frightened as the sea as earthy, he quickly stood up.

Sister-in-law Xia was locked up in a hut on the west side of the hall and knelt on the ancestral tablet. Ruhai was so anxious that his heart was like a knife, he was restless, and he didn't dare to plead with Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, so he had to look at his father pitifully. Brother Bixia stiffened his face and didn't even look at him.

When it was time to eat, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law only instructed Xiao Yu to pick up some leftovers and send them to Sister-in-law Xia. Ruhai saw it in his eyes, and wanted to sneak out to send some food to his mother several times, but was stopped by Brother Xia.

Ruhai couldn't, so he had to pee, but he didn't expect Brother Xia to stay an inch, and he also taught him a lesson: "Since beating your sixth uncle and leaving, your grandmother doesn't know how much leisure she has done, and you dare to add fuel to the fire." ”

Then he said, "Stay obediently for two days, and when your grandmother is gone, she will naturally let your mother out." If you dare to toss around, I can tell you in advance, and I will definitely divorce my wife when the time comes. ”

Ruhai was so angry that his forehead jumped suddenly, but he didn't have the slightest idea.

Xiaoyu took the food to Sister-in-law Xia, and saw that Sister-in-law Xia was wearing a coarse cloth Tsing Yi and kneeling on the ground sincerely. hurriedly ran over and pulled Sister-in-law Xia up. whispered: "Sister-in-law, you are really confused by Ruhai, my mother is doing it for Ruhai to see." ”

He pushed the food over again and whispered, "Let's eat some first." This is also a way that can't be done, I just hope that the eldest nephew can figure it out by himself. ”

Sister-in-law Xia listened and held Xiaoyu's hand: "Xiaoyu, you tell your mother, I listen to her, I" said that she also burst into tears.

Xiaoyu motioned for her to be quieter, and patted her hand comfortingly: "Hurry up and eat." I'll have to sell your strength later. ”

Sister-in-law Xia was eating, and Xiaoyu whispered next to her: "I'll go and persuade my mother to rest later, so that Ruhai can find a chance to see you." Don't say anything like listening to your grandmother and staying at home. ”

Sister-in-law Xia was surprised and said, "Then what am I going to say?" ”

Xiaoyu whispered in her ear.

Sister-in-law Xia Huo Di straightened up, stared at her round eyes and said loudly, "Mother really wants to divorce me, right?" ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly covered her mouth, frowned and said, "Be quiet." Don't worry, how can my mother give you up. ”

Ruhai suddenly heard her mother shouting outside, although she didn't hear it very really, she also understood that it was a matter of resignation. I can't help but be annoyed that my father is ruthless and my little aunt is unrighteous.

I can't stand or sit like this, and I finally got out of Xiaoyu, and hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Auntie, how is my mother?" ”

Xiao Yuxing's eyes widened, she snorted hatefully, and walked to Xiao Xia's mother-in-law without looking back, and said coldly: "Sister-in-law is kneeling there, I told her to get up and eat." She refused to eat, but cried vigorously. ”

Ruhai listened to it on the side, and his face was white for a while and red for a while. I longed to go in and kneel for my mother, but when I remembered my father's words, I didn't dare to anger my grandmother. It's just as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Xiaoyu said again: "I persuaded you to eat, and now you are kneeling again." Mother, grandmother and you are old, so you can't help it, so it's better to go and rest first. Such a big matter, where can I discuss it in one day, don't burn your body. As he spoke, he helped Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xiao Xia back to the room to rest.

Mrs. Xia woke up when she returned to the room, and said that she wiped her neck and hanged herself, and she was very lively when she tossed it, so why didn't she remember to toss Mrs. Xia. Seeing Ruhai like this now, he was afraid that he would be driven away, but he refused to leave.

Ruhai saw that Xiao Xia's mother-in-law was gone, and hurriedly looked at his father. Brother Xia touched his nose, twisted his face to the side, and pretended not to see it. Looking at Xia Xiucai again, looking up at the roof, I don't know what I was thinking.

Ruhai hurriedly slipped into the West House, only to see her mother kneeling on the ground with a withered expression. The coarse cloth clothes were crumpled, and there were still a few teardrops on his face. The hair that is usually meticulously combed is also a little loose at this time, and a few gray hairs are faintly revealed in the fluffy hair, and it looks a lot older all of a sudden.

Ruhai felt sour in his heart, and rushed over and knelt beside Sister-in-law Xia. Sister-in-law Xia stroked his head and said in a choked voice, "Don't cry, don't cry." ”

Ruhai cried and said, "Children are not filial. ”

Sister-in-law Xia sighed: "It's all fate." Don't cry, listen to your mother. As he spoke, he wiped away the tears on Ruhai's face.

Only then did he say: "Later, don't tell others when you go out, just pack up your things and go to Command Song." ”

Ruhai looked at her mother in surprise when she heard this.

Sister-in-law Xia only said to herself as if she didn't see it: "I can also figure it out, why her son can do whatever he wants." When you come to your father, you can't do anything, you have to listen to her. ”

He also said: "Don't worry, you are gone, there are still mountains at home, such as Hao." They can't do anything to me. ”

Ruhai pondered for a moment before saying, "Grandmother asked my father to write a book." I, I'm afraid"

Sister-in-law Xia's hand trembled, and in an instant she became firm again: "No." I have been in the Xia family for so many years, giving birth to children, honoring my in-laws, and working hard without merit. Just after speaking, the voice was a little fluctuating. She really didn't expect that Xiao Xia's mother-in-law would turn her face when she said that she would turn her face, and she would be detained here to kneel on the ancestral tablet. Thinking about her mother-in-law's expression, and what Xiaoyu explained to her, she couldn't help but feel a little empty in her heart.

Ruhai's heart was also chaotic, and he couldn't figure it out. Xiao Xia's mother-in-law Su Ri is the most amiable, and she has been angry with Xiaoyu, where did she think that she would have undoubted majesty when she started to be angry today. Today's punishment of my mother is so unreasonable, and I don't see my wife and grandfather come out and say a word of justice.

I don't know that he is a fan of the authorities, but he is a bystander.

Ruhai took her mother's hand and said: "If there is such a disturbance at home, how can I go, in case it affects my mother, I feel uneasy." It's better to wait for the opportunity later. ”

Sister-in-law Xia was furious when she heard this: "Since ancient times, people who have done great things have to endure a lot of hardships and do a lot of things that ordinary people can't do. I heard that there was an emperor who wanted to cook his mother for food, and he didn't frown. ”

Ruhai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "The child doesn't dare." ”

"Don't say any more, hurry up and pack your things. In this Fengxiang area, how many people want to defect to the Song family can't succeed, it's rare for Young Master Song to appreciate you. Don't let Young Master Song wait for a long time, thinking that we don't know how to lift. In the future, if you are crowned an official and knighted, don't forget to ask your mother for a decree. Even if your grandmother is still angry with me, she won't be able to do anything to me. I'm afraid that at that time, each of their Xia family members will salute me. ”

After listening to this, Ruhai felt that what her mother said was also reasonable.

Sister-in-law Xia pulled Ruhai up and pushed her out. When he walked to the door, he whispered, "Under the bed board in the room, there is a small box nailed to it, and there are some silver jewelry in it, you take it." As the saying goes: a thousand days at home are good, but everything is difficult to go out. As he spoke, he took off the two gold earrings on his ears and stuffed them into Ruhai's hands.

Ruhai looked at the jewelry in his hand in a daze, and was about to speak when Sister-in-law Xia pushed out the door. Ruhai was afraid of being seen, so he hurriedly clenched the jewelry, only to feel that the earrings hurt his palms.

I went back to my room in such a daze, and thought for a while: If I became an official, would my father and grandmother insist on abandoning my mother? I thought for a while: Grandfather, can my uncle's family accept the divorced mother? After a while, I was worried: Can my mother hold on until he is promoted to the knighthood?

Just thinking about it, Rushan came in and saw him in a daze, so he helped him pack his things. He also took out the private money from under his mother's bed and gave it to Ruhai to wrap up: "Mother is afraid that you are soft-hearted and love your family, so let me help you." As he spoke, he tied the burden around him, and then pushed him out the door.

Ruhai stumbled out the door with a small burden on his back. For a while, he only felt that the world was so big that it was about to swallow him. Along the way, I thought about everything: whether my mother would suffer. Even if she gave birth to so many children and disobeyed her grandmother like this, even if her father did not abandon her, would her grandmother embarrass her in the future.

I thought about it again, studying for the imperial examination was the path I chose, and I disobeyed my grandmother's will at that time. The grandmother turned to carry it like a horse, which caused the mother and the third aunt to have a lot of idleness. Now, she went to the Song Command Division, and the third aunt was not sure how to squeeze her mother. Then I thought about it, filial piety comes first, if Lord Song knew that his family did not agree with him joining the army, would he change his mind? Could it be that there is something else to think of him? Will you continue to carry him?
