XXII. Compromise
Li is really a good person. She didn't say that Mrs. Song was wrong, she didn't say that Song Chuyi was ungrateful, she didn't remember her mother's kindness, she just said her difficulties clearly, and put herself in the position of a loving mother. Let people not bear it first, and give birth to a little guilt.
If it weren't for the fact that Song Chuyi had told the old lady about the "dream" she had in advance, then even if she was an old lady, she would have been moved by her heartfelt words.
Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, and Song Chuyi lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Song finally spoke.
"Who said I brought her here because you didn't take good care of her?"
Li Shi looked up at Mrs. Song with red eyes: "Naturally, it was the daughter-in-law who was inconsiderate in what she did, so that the old lady was provoked like this." ”
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Song calmly asked Mama Huang to pull Li up, and told her seriously: "I am also thinking about you, you have been married for five years, everything is good, but you haven't been able to add a son to the second child." ”
One sentence hit Lee's heart disease, and also hit Lee's weakness. She lowered her head a little weakly-after all, the heir is a big deal, she has been married for more than five years and now there is only one Song Chuning, which is really unreasonable.
Fortunately, Mrs. Song is an enlightened mother-in-law, and she has never felt sorry for her about this matter.
It's rare for Mrs. Song to mention it, and it's even harder for her to say anything.
"I know you're a good person, but you can't just blindly spend your mind on Xiaoyi. It's really hard for you these years, you have to take care of the second room, you have to serve the second child, and you have to take care of Xiaoyi and Aunt Lin's banquet. Mrs. Song took her hand and patted it.
Li choked up, as if he had suffered many grievances and finally had a chance to vent.
Mama Xu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, and said with a smile: "The second lady is the most kind and considerate on weekdays, why can't you see the kindness of our old lady?" This is also for the sake of the second master and you! ”
Li looked at Song Chuyi with some embarrassment, and seemed to be extremely reluctant: "However, Xiao Liu'er is often spoiled by me, and I am afraid that it will make trouble for the old lady." ”
Song Chuyi took a few steps closer and held her hand intimately, her voice was as sweet as ever.
"Don't worry, Mother, Grandmother told me a lot last night. Every time the eighth sister is angry that I am closer to my mother, and when my mother has time in the future, she can care more about the eighth sister, the eighth sister will be happier, and my mother will be able to add younger siblings to me as soon as possible. This is also for the sake of our second room, I can save it. ”
Li knew that this matter could not be turned around, so he thanked the old lady with tears again. Turning his head and going out, he pulled Huang's mother and advised: "Xiao Liu'er, she doesn't like to eat sweets, she can't touch those sugar waters, and she doesn't like to eat meat, and she loves to kick the quilt at night."
Huang's mother couldn't help but feel sad when she heard it, and couldn't help but sigh that Li was really a rare kind person. turned around and said in detail to Mrs. Song.
Song Chuyi listened beside him and didn't say a word.
She has to be performed by the Li family, and the better the Li family's mask, the more disgusting it will be when the mask is removed to reveal its ugly face.
Old Lady Song nodded solemnly and pulled Song Chuyi to sit down beside her.
"Yesterday was too late, I was troubled by you again, and there are many things I don't have time to tell you."
Song Chuyi nestled in her arms, as quiet as a kitten.
It's really different from the past, and if such a change didn't have that dream, it would be hard to believe. Mrs. Song sighed and asked her, "You had such a dream, were you full of resentment when you woke up?" I can't wait for Shen Qi to die immediately, and I can't wait to kill all the people who bullied you in my dreams? ”
Song Chuyi didn't cry again this time, but she didn't nod either, she seemed to be a little hesitant.
Mrs. Song touched her head with relief, revealing the kindness of the elders who care about the juniors: "If you hesitate, it means that your heart is not completely filled with anger and hatred." ”
"You may not be able to fully understand what Grandmother is going to say to you, but you must remember it well, you know?"
Song Chuyi nodded wordlessly.
"When your aunt was as old as your fifth sister, your grandfather and I began to be busy watching for her. Your aunt has no sisters since she was a child, only brothers, and a girl's family is spoiled by us, and she has to look at everyone herself. I have seen a lot, and almost all the young men in the capital have picked them all, but there is always no one she likes. I don't think it's right, I don't want her to drag it out, so I plan to help her book it, but who knows that she has a fancy for herself. ”
The old lady took a sip of the tea handed over by Mama Xu, moistened her throat and continued: "She is stubborn, and she is used to being coquettish and obsessed, pestering me and your grandfather just if you don't marry, and your grandfather and I have no choice but to let her." But we didn't worry about it, so we sent someone to your uncle's hometown in advance to find out what was going on. Your uncle's family is also from Qingliu, and he is also well-known in Shuzhong, so we should also respond to this family business. ”
"I think as long as your uncle is motivated, it's okay to be good to her. As a parent, what you want is only the good life of your children. Your uncle also swore in front of us that he would take a concubine only after forty years of childlessness. When he made this his wish, your grandfather and I felt more at ease, knowing that he would be going to work in the future, and allowed them to marry. Your aunt has only been back to the capital once since she got married. You also know that in this life, she is afraid that she will not have the life to come back."
The old lady's voice became lower and lower, and tears appeared in her slightly cloudy eyes.
Song Chuyi finally heard that something was wrong - it was rumored that her uncle was very good to her aunt, married and loved. However, listening to the old lady's meaning, it doesn't seem to be like this?
"She has been married for eleven years, and now she has only one daughter, and your uncle took a few concubines as early as the year before last. If it's full, your uncle is only thirty-three. This is not counting the girls your aunt took the initiative to give him in the third year of their marriage. The old lady's words were a little sarcastic: "I blame your uncle, he doesn't keep his promises and empathizes, but I blame your aunt even more." If she had listened to me and your grandfather, she wouldn't have ended up like this. ”
"In the seventh year, your aunt had lost love with your uncle, and I once wrote to ask her if I wanted to help her reconcile. She categorically said no. Your uncle and third uncle went to support her in person, and she didn't appreciate it, so she sent them back with dignity. I'm really angry, angry that she doesn't want a man's family anymore, her parents have left behind, and she doesn't even want the dignity of the princess of the uncle's house. ”
