When everyone heard these words, the faces of Zhang's mother and daughter suddenly fell. Liu Wu shouted to himself: "Can you find out? Don't let you take the benefits of this in private and hide it for her. ”

Cheng listened to his wife's accusation, and hurriedly replied: "The little one doesn't dare to be greedy and concealed, and there is really no hairpin in the Changchun girl's house." ”

Xia Chunchao smiled on the side: "Since Mrs. asks this, why don't you go in and search for it yourself?" As he spoke, he turned to Zhang's mother and daughter and said, "If your aunt and cousin feel unfair, you can also follow in and find out." Maybe it may not be known if the hairpin can be found. ”

Zhang's mother and daughter's faces were blushing, and Zhang Xueyan was even more silent, sobbing uncontrollably.

Lu Chengyong saw this situation, was very irritable and impatient, and immediately said: "Since there is no such thing, this matter will be stopped." It was not early, and I was afraid of breaking the curfew, so I didn't dare to keep my aunt and cousin, so the two of them left. ”

The mother and daughter saw that he had given an eviction order, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they couldn't just sit and not leave. At that moment, Aunt Zhang got up with her daughter and said, "Since there is nothing to do, then we will go and come back to visit another day." Zhang Xueyan suddenly broke free, stepped forward, and said to Lu Chengyong: "Cousin, I really lost the hairpin." It's not that as my cousin said, I'm a girl from a white family, and I don't dare to take this name in vain. She was full of solemnity, just wanting to earn Lu Chengyong's respect and pity. Clinker, Lu Chengyong said: "If you lose something, you know it, and no one says anything about you." I'm not a judge, what are you doing to say such things to me? My cousin also went home to look for it, or I didn't know if I fell off the road. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xueyan's face flushed with shame, turned around and walked out. Zhang's couldn't hold her, so he had to laugh at everyone: "Xueyan is a child, nothing has happened, but you don't laugh at her." Xia Chunchao was full of spring breeze, and said with a smile: "Where is my aunt, no matter how young my cousin is, she is also a person who has been engaged and died, what do you know?" What can others do if she makes people laugh at her own actions? Naturally, we are flesh and blood relatives, and this little thing can be taken care of. ”

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but be ridiculed by her words, and said to Liu: "Sister, since our nephew and daughter-in-law hate us so much, I think we think that our poor relatives are defiled, so we don't dare to come again." In the future, let's just not get along. After that, he didn't wait for the Liu family to speak, turned around and went out to look for his daughter.

The Liu family couldn't hold it on his face, glanced at his daughter-in-law, got up and chased out the door.

Xia Chunchao looked at the door and sighed softly. Lu Chengyong heard it from the side, held her hand and asked in a low voice, "You've been walking for a long day today, are you tired?" Let's go back to the room and rest. Xia Chunchao shook his head and chuckled: "I'm not tired, but when I came back, I saw these bad things, and I was very disgusted." Lu Chengyong said: "They have already gone, and you don't have to go to your heart." Such a person is not worth thinking about. Xia Chunchao nodded with a smile, and asked Cheng again, "What happened to Changchun?" Cheng replied: "Miss Changchun is now sitting in the house crying." ”

Xia Chun bowed her head and said: "She is a very high-spirited girl on weekdays, since she entered our house, she has only served in the wife's room, and she is very dignified in the crowd." Now that I have been wronged suddenly, it is difficult to ensure that I am not wronged in my heart, so you call the two calm sisters-in-law to appease them carefully. I know all about her suffering. Cheng agreed, and said with a smile: "Grandma treats us very well in the past day, and everyone sees it in their eyes and remembers it." Miss Changchun is not an unreasonable person, and she understands it in her heart. ”

As he was talking, he heard a thunderous sound outside the door: "A cheap girl, someone has been wronged." My niece made you a mess for nothing, is that it?! Before the words landed, the Liu family had already strode in, and said angrily at Xia Chunchao: "I have opened my eyes today, there are women like you in the world, relatives come to the house and lose things, don't talk about looking for them, but cover up the thief to steal!" When she is gone, she will not come to the door again because of the anger of her relatives, such a daughter-in-law will make the relatives in the clan laugh when she says it! ”

Xia Chunchao sneered: "No matter what, it can't compare to the wife who instigated the old man to split up with the second master." With a jewel like his wife in front of him, his daughter-in-law is ashamed of herself. What's more, they don't have the surname Lu, and it is limited to offend such relatives with foreign surnames. Besides, it's not that I haven't investigated, but I haven't searched and searched, so what should I do? Isn't it a person who is a descendant of our family who is on a raft for nothing, and can't you get angry with them? This old man and young man are clearly doing nothing, how can the wife be so stupid. Changchun has served in front of his wife for several years, what is her character, does his wife know? Why do you want to drive her out when you listen to an outsider's random teasing today? What's more, there is no evidence! It turns out that it is so easy to wronged people now, and you can say it at will with red mouth and white teeth! They said that Changchun stole things today, and my wife believed it. Ming'er framed me for betraying my husband and stealing a man, and my wife couldn't believe it! I will tell Mrs. Sù one more thing today, I was going to say that I didn't say it before, but I am afraid that my wife will be angry, so I have to say it today. As he spoke, he told how Zhang Xueyan shouted at the door that the handkerchief was lost and how she planted it on Sister Lu Hong, and said: "What's the matter, isn't it that Mrs. Mo also has to search the girl's room, and it can't be done?!" ”

Liu Shi was stunned by her words, and only after a long time did he tremble and said to Lu Chengyong: "If you don't care about your daughter-in-law today, you won't have this mother!" After that, he ignored the two of them and turned around and went to the back room.

Lu Chengyong couldn't, on the one hand, he was his mother and on the other hand, he was very difficult to do in it, he thought about it for a long time, and whispered to Xia Chunchao: "You go back to the house first, I'll talk to my mother." You're here, just afraid of adding fuel to the fire. Xia Chunchao knew that this was the truth, so he nodded.

Lu Chengyong went to the inner room, Xia Chunchao was about to go back to the house, walked to the door and thought about it, and went to the Changchun house instead.

Stepping into the door, I saw Changchun sitting on the kang wiping his eyes, two women were handing a word of consolation on the side, and Honeysuckle was also standing on the side.

As soon as everyone saw Xia Chunchao coming in, they all hurriedly got up to greet them. Xia Chunchao nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Cheng still has something to do, you go first." I'm here to say a few words to the Changchun girl. The two women were interested, so they went.

Honeysuckle was young, but he was smart, and only said: "There is no one to serve on my wife's side, so I will go over too." After that, he saw that his grandmother nodded, and went over there.

Xia Chunchao didn't say anything at first, looked around, and saw that there was a kang bed on the west wall in this room, and there were two cupboards on the floor, and there were teapots and cups on the underground table, and even the combing guy was on it. Immediately, she asked, "What the hell is going on today?" Even if Mrs. acts upside down, she treats you well on weekdays, why can't she say that she will kick you out today? ”

Changchun choked up: "I don't know what's wrong." Since beating this aunt's wife's family, my wife has been like a crazy demon every day, and her actions are only at their mercy. I'm serving here, and every time I can't listen, I have to dissuade one or two, and my wife doesn't have to interfere with those who don't listen. Early this morning, the young master and grandmother went out, and the aunt and the cousin came. I was going to go in and serve, but I didn't want my wife to say that she didn't like people to be noisy, so that I could wait outside and give me orders when I was asked. I had no choice but to come out and stand at the door. The three of them, Mrs. Auntie, Cousin, and Mrs. Inside, I didn't know what to say, and I didn't hear a word, but I poured two teas. In the afternoon, when it was not early, I set out to say that I was going, and I went in to serve. The cousin suddenly cried out, saying that she had lost the hairpin. My wife messed around to find it, and somehow, it was on me without pushing three or five times. My wife's eyes were as wide as brass bells, and I couldn't tell a word, and she wanted to send me away. If it weren't for my grandmother's timely arrival, I'm afraid I'm already at Renyazi's house at this moment! Grandma, I have an unspeakable grievance in my heart. Although I am a subordinate, I have served diligently day and night since I came to my home for the past few years, and I am worthy of it. Why did such a thing happen today, and my wife didn't even care about the slightest affection, and wanted to drive me away? As he spoke, he couldn't hold back and began to cry again.

Xia Chunchao frowned and asked, "When they are here, apart from you, can honeysuckle go in?" Changchun shook his head and said, "No, my wife is not allowed to go in, but she only told me to follow me to the door and listen to the instructions." Xia Chunchao groaned: "Mrs. sees guests, there is no such rule. In this way, they have pinched this game today and deliberately framed you. However, you are just a girl, and you have a little more face than others, and you are only limited. What good do they have to gain by calculating you? ”

Changchun cried for a while, remembered something, and said, "My cousin gave me a hairpin before, didn't I give it to my grandmother?" When she came back a few times, she saw that I didn't wear it, so she asked a few questions. Could it be that she thinks I dislike her and intend to take revenge? Xia Chunchao shook his head and said: "If that's the case, she can instigate her wife to beat you, and she really can't make a big deal to drive you out." Although my wife was confused, she knew one thing in her heart - she would never do anything that was not beneficial to her. drove you out, she lost a big girl for nothing, and the Zhang family would not pay the money to buy it for her, and she was damaged inside and out. If it had no real benefit to her, she would never have listened to it. Saying that, she lowered her head and thought for a while, but she couldn't think about it left and right, so she dropped it for the time being, and asked Changchun: "Since such a thing happened today, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stay here, Mrs. The old lady and my room were full of people, and there was no reason to add another one. It's the girl, since the cherry died last year, only the apricot is not enough to serve. I've always said I'd buy it for her, but I didn't spare it, and now I'm asking you to go with the girl, would you like to? ”

Changchun also knew that there was a scene today, and according to Liu's temper, it would be no good for him to stay in this house, so he hurriedly responded: "Obey grandma's orders, I am willing to serve the girl." Then he asked, "When I leave, there is only one honeysuckle left in this room, and there will be another vacancy?" Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "What's the matter, just add another person." ”。
