32. 032: Mother-in-law
After all calculations, Xia Ruan never thought that she would meet the 'prospective mother-in-law' in advance.
The children's in-laws are mostly the words of the parents.
However, there are times when there are exceptions.
Like her......
The purpose of Aunt Lin's visit today, Xia Ruan naturally knew in her heart, but she didn't expect that the Xiao family would continue to come to the door to propose.
Xiao Yichan's offense against the Wen family is afraid that it has already spread, and now what does the eldest aunt have in mind?
"I've seen Aunt Lin, Xia Ruan thanked Aunt Lin for her mother. It's just that my mother is unwell today, and it is really inconvenient to see Aunt Lin, so ......" Xia Ruan smiled, and ordered Cuiliu to prepare tea.
In fact, she has been ignoring her aunt just now, just hoping that her aunt will retreat. However, the eldest aunt's behavior didn't seem to take her reminder seriously at all.
Aunt Lin smiled faintly, and she could vaguely see that there were a few stripes at the corners of her eyes: "I should have come to visit a long time ago, but there have been a lot of things at home recently, so I have been delayed." I met Mrs. Zhao in Qianzhuang today, and I heard that Mrs. Li was sick, so I came to take a look. If you bother, I hope you will forgive me. ”
Aunt Lin's words were polite, and her words revealed sincerity, so that people couldn't find out what was wrong.
In fact, Xia Ruan has a little affection for this Aunt Lin.
After the death of her parents in her previous life, she could only stay at her aunt's house. The Xiao family felt that the meaning was ominous, so they hurriedly stopped doing this family business. When she was hiding in the small courtyard to wash clothes, she heard the conversation between the eldest aunt and Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin's voice is also as gentle as today, like a spring breeze in March: "It's Jiu'er who doesn't have this blessing, and I can't blame anyone." However, this Ruan girl is a poor person, and the Xiao family's withdrawal this time is also because Jiu'er is old and can't wait longer. Today, I just deliberately said sorry to my wife, please accept these silver Mrs., it is a little bit of my heart. ”
She didn't see Aunt Lin's appearance at that time, if it wasn't for the eldest aunt just now, she would have almost forgotten about this person. It's just that Aunt Lin gave her aunt a penny, although she didn't use a cent at that time, but there are many icing on the cake, and the charcoal in the snow is pitiful after all. Aunt Lin has this thought, and she is more or less grateful.
In this life, she actually understood that Aunt Lin was struggling in the Xiao family. I am afraid that the silver given at that time was also one of the few money around Aunt Lin.
"Aunt Lin is polite, today is Xia Ruan's neglect. Please take a seat, Aunt Lin can visit, Xia Ruan is grateful. After speaking, Xia Ruan took the tea from Cuiliu's hand, and then slowly put it on Aunt Lin's hand.
Aunt Lin smiled a little flattered: "Thank you." ”
At this time, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhao's eyes, and her expression was a little strange. After taking the tea from Cuiliu's hand, he fell into deep thought.
How so?
Xia Ruan had a tough attitude a few days ago, and he didn't want to marry into the Xiao family no matter what. But today, I saw Aunt Lin, and the slightest arrogance was not revealed. If so, won't her plan be ruined?
Zhao glanced up at Aunt Lin and said slowly: "Hey, this girl has always been well-behaved, but the marriage is not going well......"
When Aunt Lin heard this, she showed a look of surprise: "How come?" ”
"A few years ago, I discussed with my second brother and sister that when Nan Ke grows up, I will marry Ruan Yatou, which can be regarded as a kiss." Zhao took a sip of tea gently, and his words were quite helpless, "Ruan Yatou has grown up, and she looks three points more handsome than her second brother and sister." But my Nanke, but ...... It's a bit silly. ”
When Xia Ruan heard this, he almost lost his footing.
Where is Zhao Nanke stupid now? The eldest aunt really opened her eyes and said nonsense. But she thought about it again, Zhao Nanke might just be pretending in front of her aunt.
Before she could think about it, she heard her aunt sigh as she continued.
"Coincidentally, a few days ago, the second young master of the Wen family, in fact, someone ......mentioned it to me," Zhao showed a look of embarrassment, "It's just that this Wen Zhonghuai, with his character and life experience, is top-notch, how can he look down on my Ruan girl." ”
When Aunt Lin heard this, her hand holding the tea cup tightened again.
Xia Ruan thought that it was actually really good to be reborn in a lifetime. At least now, her heart has already been tempered, and she will not talk back in a hurry. Now she will sort out her mind and will not cause a gaffe.
The meaning of the aunt's words was ostensibly praising her for being good. But when you taste it carefully, it's not like that. The words are sarcastic, which is nothing more than saying that she is rude and willful. If you can't look down on Zhao Nanke, who is pretending to be stupid now, it will only make people think that she is cautious. But Wen Zhonghuai, the second son of the Wen family, is a well-known talent of Jiangyin's generation, what status does she have to say that she looks down on others?
But what made Xia Ruan cry and laugh even more was that she never knew that these people had a relationship with her. The eldest aunt's mouth can really reverse right and wrong.
If she was really so 'sought-after', her mother would not have lowered her head to find the Yue family. She is somewhat self-aware of these things.
Zhao smiled proudly, and seemed to be in a much lighter mood than when he first came: "This kid really broke my heart, she ......." ”
"Cuiliu, add a cup of tea to Aunt Lin. It was cold, and the tea was cold. Xia Ruan interrupted Zhao's words, "Later, you will go to the house to see for yourself, the charcoal fire in your mother's room is still vigorous, and Dr. Zhou told me that my mother's sick house should not be too cold." ”
Cuiliu was stunned for a moment, naturally she didn't expect Xia Ruan to say this, and she paused for a while before replying, "Yes, Miss." ”
Xia Ruan interrupted Zhao's words, making Zhao almost faint. It's not that Zhao hasn't seen someone who is more rude, it's just that someone like Xia Ruan who maintains her reserved style and can successfully disrupt her game, how can she not be angry? She said so much, Xia Ruan's sentence that her mother was sick at the bedside was enough to make Aunt Lin suspicious.
Her identity is just Xia Ruan's aunt, so how can she say anything else.
But in the coming day, how should she talk to the second master of the Xiao family about this.
knew that this was the case, why did she invite Aunt Lin to come over and sit.
Aunt Lin was no longer distracted because of Xia Ruan's words: "Don't bother, speaking of which, I should have said a few words to Mrs. Li today, but now that Mrs. is seriously ill, I can't bother." There was a lot of snow on the road, so I said goodbye first. ”
"Yes, I also forgot, I came to see my second brother and sister today, look at my memory." After all, the Zhao family maintained the harmony on the surface, but secretly almost gritted his teeth.
Aunt Lin stood up and glanced at Xia Ruan, only to see that although there was a smile in the girl's eyes that were clearer than spring water, they looked strange and indifferent.
Zhao said so many false accusations that even she almost believed it, but Xia Ruan's words made her suddenly realize.
When Aunt Lin thought of this, she felt a little more relieved.
