After the Dong family returned home, her mother fell ill immediately, and Mei Ru had not yet spared time to visit the Dong family. As if she had discovered some great secret, she pursed her lips and snickered.

Mei Xiang was a little annoyed, raised her head and knocked on her sister's head, and shouted, "Don't laugh." ”

"My brother wants to go to see his sister-in-law, why don't he go?" Mei Ru only thought it was funny, and couldn't help but tease her "stupid" brother.

As soon as she said this, Mei Xiang was even more annoyed, glared at her and said, "If she sees me, she will have to bother to follow you?" "Mei Xiang went to Dong's house yesterday, and stood outside for several hours, the cold wind was blowing, and he didn't even enter the door of Dong's house!

Mei Ru still wants to laugh, Mei Xiang has completely lowered her face, "Follow, are you going?" ”

"Go, go!" Mei Ru's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Mei Xiang thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but explain: "Follow the rules, your sister-in-law likes jewelry, but she saves for others, and I'm afraid I will have to look at the faces of her sisters-in-law when she returns home." You take her for a walk today, and if you see something you like, you can buy it for her, and your brother will give you the silver. After a pause, he added a little guilt, "Over the years of marriage, I haven't given your sister-in-law anything, and now I just regret it, and I feel sorry for her." ”

After saying this, Mei Ru couldn't laugh anymore.

She looked at the sad eldest brother in front of her in a daze, and after a while, she asked, "Brother, why didn't you say these words to your sister-in-law earlier?" Now that she is gone, she doesn't know your thoughts, isn't it a pity? ”

Mei Xiang lowered his eyes for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

Mei Ru mentioned it to Qiao's family, and then took the car to Dong's house.

The Dong family is now the eldest sister-in-law of the Dong family, and when she heard that it was the third girl from the Mei Mansion, she didn't blast it out directly, but her face was not very good.

"Third girl, the eldest girl of my family married into your house in a dignified manner, but I didn't expect to lose weight directly when I came back! Now that the soup and water are waiting, and there is the daily medicine, how much effort does it take to waste! ”

As soon as she heard this, Mei Ru tasted something else.

No wonder Mei Xiang was worried that after the Dong family returned home, she would have to look at the faces of her sisters-in-law, but now she sees that this person is really difficult to deal with, and the Dong family has a soft temperament, so she is afraid that she will be bullied and has no place to say.

After dealing with a few more words, Mei Ru went to Dong's room.

The Dong family's mansion is not big, and the boudoir where the Dong family used to be a girl is long gone, and now they live in a remote wing. When Mei Ru arrived, she was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her appearance was thin, she looked at it from a distance, she was really not good, Mei Ru's heart was slightly sour. Seeing that this house was poorly furnished, and there was not even a charcoal basin for heating, I couldn't help frowning slightly.

Seeing Mei Ru, Dong's eyebrows widened, and he hurriedly took her hand and asked, "Follow, why are you here?" With that, he began to cough.

Mei Ru sighed, sat on the edge of her bed, and said curiously: "Sister-in-law......" The two words were about to blurt out again, Mei Ru hurriedly swallowed back and changed her words: "Why is Sister Yao sick?" ”

- Dong's boudoir name Jing Yao.

Dong smiled astringently and replied casually: "It's not that I'm sick, I just want to lie down for a while, and there's nothing else to do." As he spoke, he couldn't stop coughing twice, and asked Mei Ru again: "Why are you here today?" ”

Thinking of her brother's explanation, Mei Ru couldn't say it directly, her eyes rolled, she just excused herself: "I came today to find my sister to go out for a walk." ”

"Shopping?" Dong was puzzled.

"Yes." Mei Ru said, "I haven't added new jewelry for the New Year, so I want to find my sister to pick it out." ”

As soon as Dong heard this, he sensed that something was wrong. Qiao's has always been the most painful, why didn't she add jewelry to her a year ago? She had doubts in her heart, so she asked these questions. Mei Ru sighed: "My mother was angry with my brother, and she couldn't take care of anything else." ”

"Sick?" Dong was slightly surprised.

Mei Ru nodded, and said: "My brother was beaten by my father, and the cold wind blew all night, and I barely woke up in the past two days, and when the New Year is over, I am ready to send my brother to my uncle." ”

Hearing this, Dong was shocked again.

Mei Ru's uncle Meng Zheng served as the chief soldier of Shaanxi and Gansu, she knew that it was a dangerous place, and there were Hu people who killed people without blinking...... She thought about it for a while, wanted to say something, and finally swallowed it all back, but said, "Now I am too weak to go with you." ”

"It's okay, let's just talk."

Mei Ru stayed at Dong's house until it was almost lunch, and then she got up to say goodbye. Dong's cough kept coming, and he couldn't blow the wind at all, so he could only let Hesui send her. After sitting in the car, Mei Ru took the opportunity to ask Hesui: "How do the people in your house treat Sister Yao?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Hesui began to wipe away his tears: "Third girl, you have probably guessed that after my girl came back, she had to look at the faces of those girls everywhere, and the charcoal fire given was not enough at all, and my girl's body was not very good, and she caught a cold all of a sudden." For this disease, you have to ask a doctor and boil medicine...... Seventy-seven-eighty-eight, my girl didn't dare to ask for anything anymore, just said that it was good to deal with one or two casually. ”

Mei Ru frowned coldly, displeased, but this is the matter of the Dong Mansion, where can she care? just instructed Jingqin to take a lot of silver to Hesui, and then advised: "If there is anything missing, you can come to the house to inform me, just don't let your girl know." ”

He Sui thanked him for his kindness, and when the Meifu carriage was gone, he wiped away his tears and went back.

Mei Xiang has been waiting in the room, he has blood on his back, and he has re-medicated, so he can only lie on the bed at this time, stretch his neck and ask the maid next to him if he has come back. After asking me countless times, Meiru finally came back.

Mei Ru briefly said a little about the situation in Dong's place, Mei Xiang's face changed several times, and at the end, she said with red eyes: "I don't have the face to see her again......"

……

The days fly by, and the New Year is over in a blink of an eye.

This time for the New Year, Mei Ru is rarely unhappy, her mother is sick, her brother is also sick, and Dong's is not very good, and she is going to send her brother to Shaanxi after the New Year, and she doesn't know when she will come back, where is she happy? One thing after another weighed on her heart, and Mei Ru only felt bored.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mei Ru originally loved to go out to join in the fun, but she was lazily nested in the room at this time, unwilling to go out. It was Meng Yunlan who came over, and she said, "Follow the rules, let's go together." "Meifu and Mengfu are cousins, and in previous years, they went to enjoy the lanterns together, Meng Yunlan and Meiru are the best, if Meiru doesn't go, she will have a lot less fun.

was shaken by Meng Yunlan's head hurt, and there was no way to entangle, so Mei Ru reluctantly agreed.

Meng An is also there today.

Seeing this cousin Mune, Mei Ru wanted to laugh.

Sure enough, Meng An saw Mei Ru and started again: "Cousin Ru, is my aunt feeling better?" ”

Mei Ru nodded and said, "It's much better, Cousin Xie cares." ”

Meng An thought for a while, and then asked, "Is the old lady in good health?" ”

Mei Ru suddenly didn't want to answer, she just wanted to tease the cousin. At this moment, she looked at Meng An, and asked pretending not to know, "Cousin An, didn't you go to ask the ancestor for peace today?" Why do you still ask? ”

Meng An froze for a moment, his white face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only stubbornly ask, "Is Cousin Qian better?" ”

Mei Ru really couldn't hold back this time, she burst out laughing, she raised her hand and pointed at it from afar, and said, "The second sister will come later, and my cousin will ask herself." ”

Meng An stopped talking, he glanced at Mei Ru, who had already put aside her face and laughed to herself.

I saw her standing under the warm lamp, laughing, looking forward to Shenfei, her eyes flowing, I don't know how much bright and gorgeous she added.
