Chapter 6: The Enthusiastic Xu Couple
"Third daughter-in-law, are you in the house?"
Hey? It seems to be someone from Old Man Xu's house. I don't know what to do with her.
"Alas, Aunt Xu, I'm here, come in."
As soon as Aunt Xu entered the door, she saw He Laosan standing motionless at the door, "Heh, this third child, why don't you speak when you stand here, you are startled." ”
"Don't mind the eldest mother, he just made his mother angry, and he thought about it in front of the wall." Mu Zhen smiled and changed the topic, "What's the matter with the eldest lady coming to me?" As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and was about to get up.
"Alas, lie down and don't move. Didn't my old man just come to see you, no, let me bring you the medicine. After a pause, he walked to the door and lifted the curtain to take a look.
Then he whispered to Mu Zhen: "I'll wrap a piece of meat for you, it's too little." Your mother-in-law's temperament, she has taken too much and she has seen it, and she doesn't have anything to eat. ”
Mu Zhen has been in this other world for three or four days, and from time to time she has to fight wits and courage with her in-laws, and she has to restrain her inner panic about the unfamiliar environment.
Now Aunt Xu and Old Man Xu's care for her made her eyes red.
"Auntie, what's so embarrassing, I'll just keep the medicine, you and Uncle are at home, it's not convenient to eat anything, how can I ask for your things."
"Just take it for you, your uncle and I can't eat much, my son is angry, he is a petty official, and his daughter-in-law is also filial, and she sends us some silver back from time to time, and the consultation fee earned by your uncle is enough for us to spend."
Aunt Xu said so much bitterly, and Mu Zhen was not good at refusing. "Auntie, thank you, I have written down this kindness."
Looking at Mu Zhen, who was in retreat to a certain extent, Aunt Xu liked this girl very much in her heart. It seems that people still have to have more contact, and the rumors in this village are not necessarily true.
"Thank you, thank you? How big is it? If you really thank me, just let the three children go to my house more often, and accompany my old wife. ”
Hearing Aunt Xu's words, Xiao Baozi said: "Granny Xu, as long as you don't dislike Bao Bao, Bao Bao will accompany you every day." ”
The words of the little ghost made Mu Zhen and Aunt Xu laugh.
"Bags? Who named the three children? ”
"My mother took it, does it sound good?" Xiao Baozi asked arrogantly.
Aunt Xu also has a grandson who is about the same age as Xiao Baozi, but she has not been around for many years, and she is very happy to see the quirky little Baozi at this time.
"Well, that's good, but I'll have to eat more rice in the future, so that it will be like a bun." seemed to think of something again, and then said: "If the bag can't eat enough at home, go to Granny Xu's house, and Granny Xu will make it for my grandson." ”
Thinking about it, it was not good to say this sentence in front of the child's mother, and quickly explained to Muzhen: "I know what the situation of your family is, not that you are harsh on the baby, Mo Duoxin." ”
Mu Zhen sighed, sure enough, he was a person who had seen the world, and his heart was as fine as dust, and he should say: "Auntie, where do you say, I will call you the grandson of Xiao Baozi, and I won't be too careful." ”
Seeing that Mu Zhen said these words sincerely, Aunt Xu smiled and took Mu Zhen's hand, "I'll just say that you are a good girl, and the rumors are not credible." However, the eldest lady said to you a heart-wrenching word, to be a daughter-in-law, you must have the appearance of a daughter-in-law, and it is certain that you will teach your husband and children. Usually the family collects and picks up, but you don't have to learn slowly, don't raise the character of a lazy woman, and be criticized. ”
Mu Zhen is embarrassed, is this a black cauldron for the deity? But he still smiled and responded: "Okay, I listen to the eldest mother, repent and reform, be a good daughter-in-law, you will check again tomorrow to see how I have changed." ”
In fact, when Aunt Xu said this, there was also a temptation in it, and now looking at Mu Zhen's smiling appearance, she knew that this girl had a good belly.
patted Mu Zhen's hand with satisfaction, and said: "Good girl, the eldest lady didn't misunderstand you, okay, don't talk about it, I have to go back to help the old man of my family, I have been fiddling with those vines and vines all day long, and it is not okay not to give him a hand." ”
Seeing that Aunt Xu was leaving, Mu Zhen was about to get up to send it, but was stopped, "You girl, your health is so bad that you can't do it, why don't you lie down and rest, what are you wandering around?" ”
Mu Zhen's head was really dizzy, so she didn't shirk anymore, "Then, auntie, you go slowly, it's hard for you." ”
"Hey, what's the matter?" Aunt Xu waved her hand nonchalantly. "Remember, I will accept the things given by my mother, and I will treat it as if my mother gave my grandson a body, and I will not send it back when the time comes, then I won't do it."
When he walked to the door, he saw where He Laosan was still standing, and stretched out his hand and poked his head, "San, you are not too honest, men must not only be filial to the elderly, but also know how to take care of their wives and children, look at your son's thin and daughter-in-law's poor health." ”
This time, He Laosan snorted.
It seems that this Xianggong is now back to normal.
Seeing that Aunt Xu had already gone away, Mu Zhen brewed for a while, and said to He Laosan: "Xianggong, just now my mother-in-law came and said that we can't teach children, and slapped Xiaobaozi, I have a headache and can't move." The little bun is standing in front of you, why don't you stop it? ”
Hearing Mu Zhen say this, He Laosan's body stiffened, looked at the little bun in her arms, and asked distressedly, "Does it hurt?" ”
Mu Zhen's words made the little bun confused, but after all, this child has suffered a lot from snacks, and at a young age, his ability to observe words and emotions is very good.
Mu Zhen nodded very cooperatively, and said aggrievedly: "It hurts, when Bao Bao calls Daddy, Daddy ignores Bao Bao." ”
Seeing her son so upright, if it weren't for the sake of the husband, Mu Zhen couldn't wait to kiss the bun fiercely, it was too powerful.
"Xianggong, every time my father and mother scold the buns, do you know?"
He Laosan's head is very empty now, it seems that he feels this way every time his father and mother get angry, and his mind is blank, which makes him feel very dazed and scared.
Has he tried his best to protect his son, or has he been beaten?
Looking at the little woman in front of him who was softly asking his question, he subconsciously shook his head.
"Isn't it possible that you can't hear anything other than your father's voice?"
He Laosan nodded again.
Mu Zhen then asked: "Then why did you feel it again when my father and mother beat me and Baozi?" ”
Why? He didn't know it himself, but there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him to protect them.
"Xianggong, do you think that your father and mother are good to you, or to us?"
Looking at the little woman on the other side who was cautiously testing him, He Laosan felt funny, but he probably hadn't laughed for too long, he just softened his expression a little. Knowing what she wanted to ask, he simply confided.
"I was taken back to them at the age of fourteen, bought to work as a scholar in Mufu at the age of fifteen, and came back again at the age of sixteen."
Oh, it seems that this minister is quite smart. A few simple sentences, even explaining the truth, also revealed that he knew what Mu Zhen asked, and on the surface, people couldn't find any thorns.
But he clearly told Mu Zhen that his relationship with his parents was not close.
"Then before you were fourteen, where was it? Why wait until after the age of fourteen to come back? ”
Even if he has been separated from his parents for 14 years, he is his own son after all, and normal people's parents feel indebted, not so disliked, right?
"I've been in poor health since I was a child, and the fortune teller said that he would put me in someone else's house to support me." Looking at the little woman who had changed in front of him, He Laosan decided to take a gamble and continued: "The year I returned to this home, my head was injured, and when I woke up, I couldn't remember what happened before I was fourteen years old. ”
