"The family is a life-seeker, and they can't see me." Old Madam Chen continued to scold in that old voice.

Chen Xuejiao carefully looked at the room and the people in the room. This is a hall house, an ordinary house that can be seen everywhere in the countryside, with mud walls and floors, but the difference is that it is more spacious and bright than the west house where they live. In the middle of the room was a black lacquered table of eight immortals, under which sat two old men. Old Man Chen's face was expressionless, looking at his feet and squinting his eyes with big bags under his eyes. Mrs. Chen, Wang, wore her hair in a neat bun, wore a blue cloth placket cotton trimmed gown, and had sharp and mean eyes on her slightly chubby face.

Behind Old Man Chen stood the three sons of Old Lady Chen, Wang, with different expressions. There are four daughters-in-law standing on Mrs. Chen's side, and her mother Li and third aunt Cai have met when they woke up just now, so they can match each other. The remaining two aunts, Xue Jiao also guessed that they would not be far from ten. The one who stuck next to Mrs. Chen and held a handkerchief and whispered comforting must be the eldest aunt Zhao, because she is the daughter of Mrs. Chen's aunt and cousin of the Wang family, so she treats Mrs. Chen more casually. The stout woman standing behind Mrs. Chen was the fourth aunt, Zhang. The beautiful girl in red clothes rolling in Mrs. Chen's arms was Xue Miao of the second uncle's family, and she was looking at Chen Xuejiao with slanted eyes and disgust at this time.

When Chen Xuejiao's sister and brother came in, Mrs. Chen was just thirsty and drank water from her aunt's hand. After drinking the water, his eyes immediately hung up, and he slashed at Chen Xuejiao's sister and brother. Ping'er obviously shivered and leaned closely behind Chen Xuejiao, Chen Xueru lowered her head, Chen Xuejiao was not afraid of that gaze, and looked directly at the past calmly.

The mother, Lee, winked at the children and motioned for them to leave. Chen Xuejiao pretended not to see her mother's eyes, and still confronted Mrs. Chen directly. Chen Xueru and Ping'er saw Chen Xuejiao standing still, and also stood still. Li hurriedly walked over to block Mrs. Chen's sight and said, "Jiao'er, why did you come out just after you woke up, and you blew the wind carefully." Mother is here to discuss things with grandparents, uncles and aunts, Ru'er, you take your younger brothers and sisters out first. ”

"Yo, Sister Xuejiao, you're awake. My sister's eyes are so scary, and she looks at her grandmother directly. Which family's rules are this, when I saw my grandmother and elders, I didn't say kowtow and say hello, but the people who looked at it were hairy, and there were no rules. Chen Xuemiao raised her head from Mrs. Chen's arms, raised her chin slightly and said softly. Recently, Chen Xuemiao likes to put the rules on her lips, which stems from the teachings of her sister Xueyao. Xueyao was a first-class maid in the Ding family, a big family in Xuzhou Mansion, and returned to her hometown to visit relatives a few days ago, and told Xue Miao about the rules of life in a big family, and Chen Xuemiao remembered it in her heart.

"And the eldest aunt, why are you carrying grandma behind your back to give Sister Xuejiao a look, are you afraid that someone will eat her if you stay in this house?" Chen Xuemiao rolled her eyes and said that she used her hand to caress the ruan smoke rosette satin skirt embroidered with peonies in full bloom, it is better than the skirt given by her sister. The silk Ruan Yanluo is light and soft on the body, can it be compared to the burlap at home?

"Sister Miao is right, everything must be rules. Just now, my mother gave my three siblings a look because she was afraid that we would disturb the elders, and my mother persuaded us to leave the house, and she was even more worried that we would affect the elders to discuss things here. Mother is teaching us, my sister dared to ask Sister Miao, the eldest aunt is afraid that the children will affect the grandparents to discuss things and teach the children, and as a sister, you prevent the eldest aunt from teaching her daughter, which rule is this? Besides, Sister Miao, as a junior, interrupted the words of the eldest uncle, which rule is this? Chen Xuejiao turned her gaze to Chen Xuemiao and asked with a smile.

"How dare you teach me the rules." Chen Xuemiao didn't expect that Chen Xuemiao, who had always been stepped on by her in the mud, would dare to openly refute her, angry and angry.

"My sister doesn't dare." Chen Xuejiao raised her chin, her eyes clear.

Li Shi heard her daughter openly refute Chen Xuemiao, and hurriedly came to stop her: "Jiao'er just woke up, why did you bump into your sister Miao'er." He raised his eyes and looked at the faces of Old Lady Chen and Zhao Tieqing, and said with a reluctant smile: "Jiao'er, don't apologize to your sister Miao'er soon." ”

Why apologize to her, Xue Jiao doesn't think she is wrong, the mother of the deity is really a bun. Chen Xuejiao thought to herself, still standing still, her eyelids drooped and she didn't look at Chen Xuemiao's sharp eyes.

"Just like you, you still want to be the grandmother of the Sun family, and you don't dream about it. is so ignorant of the rules, disrespectful, rushing into his cousin, speaking falsely, at home he is all flesh and blood, and he can spoil you and make trouble by you. I think I should really let Sister Yao'er come to teach you the rules of a big family next time, and save you from marrying into the Sun family in the future and let the whole house poke the backbone of our old Chen family up and down, saying that we won't teach our daughter, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't change your problem, you will be divorced sooner or later. You don't have to be embarrassed, our family has to have a thin face from grandparents to uncles who are talented. Chen Xuemiao glared at a pair of eyebrows, and said delicately, what a lot of eloquence.

It's really bloody, obviously they pushed Chen Xuejiao into the fire pit for the so-called glory and wealth. This, in turn, bites back that Chen Xuejiao doesn't understand the rules, and is in a hurry to marry the Sun family.

"Sister Miao'er, you have repeatedly taught me the rules, if you teach it right, as a sister, I am grateful to you. But look at what you say, what kind of marriage, divorce, is this what a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet can say? In case it spreads, we don't care, but if my sister's reputation is bad, how can I be a good family in the future, even Brother Qi Lin's career in the future will also be implicated. Chen Xuejiao's crisp voice sounded, and she paused and said: "I know that marrying into the Sun family with my temperament will make the whole house poke the backbone of our old Chen family up and down, why do you still let me go, Sister Miao'er is usually not bad at all, even the daughters of big families in the city are not comparable, why don't you let Sister Miao'er marry into the Sun family, I am afraid that everyone will praise the old Chen family for having a girl who understands the rules." ”

"You." Chen Xuemiao heard Chen Xuejiao sarcastically mocking her for not following the rules and losing the reputation of her innocent daughter's family, she secretly regretted her gaffe for a while, and when she heard that she was going to marry into the Sun family, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, but she couldn't say anything to refute, called out to her grandmother, buried her face in Mrs. Chen's arms, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chen Xuemiao's mother Zhao heard Chen Xuejiao refute Xue Miao at first, just as a child was unconvinced, and then heard Xue Jiao sarcastically mock her daughter for unruly use childlike language and was already angry, and now she heard that the Sun family touched the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but be angry, but she couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Chen was angry when she saw Chen Xuemiao enter the door, and now she saw that she had annoyed her most beloved granddaughter, and she wanted to stand up and slap her twice. But she knew that she shouldn't be beaten by this slap, and if she wanted to be beaten, it would be Chen Xuejiao's mother Li who would hit her. Mrs. Chen is used to borrowing a knife to kill people, she slashed at the Li mother and daughter with her eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Look at what good daughter you taught, she hit the wall before, and now she has learned to contradict her elders and sisters, and she may not use a knife to cut her parents in the future." ”

"It's just that the four girls are ignorant and ignorant, sister-in-law, you don't teach you as a mother, such a small mouth is so neat, and you will have it when you grow up in the future." Zhao endured it and finally didn't hold back, his eyes swept to Li's body and then said: "It's okay for a child to talk a few words, sister-in-law, you can't care about it, not to mention that my aunt is not good at talking about Xuejiao." Let's live as a family, my father and mother are old, and today I have been worried about the eldest sister's affairs. ”

"Lin Ta Niang, Xue Jiao is young, and she spoke a little bit, which is not the child's intention." Li said to Zhao. In Xuzhou Mansion, women who are married and have children are generally called XX Niang, this XX is the eldest child in the family, for example, Zhao is called Lin Ta Niang in the name of his eldest son Chen Qilin, and Li is usually called An Ta Niang.

"Reasoning, I shouldn't say it, Xue Jiao is young, she kowtowed, and my heart hurts as an aunt." Zhao Shi took out the handkerchief in the sleeve of the snow-green silk piping, wiped his eyes, sighed, and said: "Everything must be prioritized, the adults are discussing the funeral of the eldest sister, this girl broke in without a head and no brains, don't blame my father and mother for being angry." ”

is a good Zhao family, and he avoided the incident provoked by his daughter Chen Xuemiao, and accused Xuejiao of being ignorant.

"Xue Ru too, my sister is not sensible and nonsense, you don't persuade it, they are all big girls, it's time to share some of it for the family." Zhao turned his head to Xue Ru with a smile on his face, and his tone was soft as if he was full of spring water, but Xue Jiao still heard the cold inside, and Xue Ru immediately lowered her head when she heard it.

"What the hell is going on with my sister?" Xue Jiao couldn't help but retort.

"Yes, don't do anything like Xueru, okay, what can a child talk about?" The third aunt, Cai, hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, and pointed at Xue Miao with a hearty smile and said: "You are a child, and on the day you get married, your sisters will cry with you." Don't look at the enemy who quarrels like a black-eyed enemy, and when the time comes, he will clasp his hands upside down and refuse to leave. ”

"What the third sister-in-law said is not, when the time comes, Xue Miao will definitely be able to marry into the city with the identity of a flower at the head of our village, just like the Ding Mansion, waiting to enjoy the wealth." The fourth aunt, Zhang, said in a rough voice, the Zhang family has been hunting rough for generations, and you can know its fierce family style by looking at the appearance of the five big and three rough Zhang family.

"Speaking of wealth, Xue Jiao doesn't know how young she is, if I have a handsome daughter like you, the Sun family won't be able to do it in your turn. Maybe I'm the mother-in-law of the Sun family now, waiting to eat and drink spicy food. As Zhang spoke, he became more and more vulgar.

Zhang's mention of the Sun family touched many hearts of the people in the house at once. Li and several children thought that they almost died because of the Sun family's change of relatives, and they were hated and afraid.

Zhao, one of the initiators, thought of his son's future, and his heart was also full of hatred, but he felt a little inexplicable when he saw Xue Jiao save him.

"Speaking of the Ding family, it's good for Xueyao. If the family could afford to eat, they would not have sold Xue Yao to Dingfu as a slave. Although she has become a first-class steward girl after so many years, it is the work of serving people after all. When I think of Xueyao, my heart aches all night. Zhao said with tears streaming down his face.

Zhao's crying, Mrs. Chen hated Xuejiao's family even more. Xue Miao was crooked in Mrs. Chen's arms, looking at Xue Jiao, and she wanted to tear her up.

"Uncle has been reading for so many years, but he is still a showman, and I heard my sister say that Dingfu is a family that relies on the ancestors to show talents. Uncle has been teaching private school for so many years, and he doesn't want to be an official. My sister is a slave and a maid in Dingfu to eat and drink for a large family, and my brother will participate in the township test next year to show off his talents in high school, and marrying the Sun family is not to let our family enjoy wealth. Why bother, either hit the wall or pretend to be dead, it is difficult for our family to make a plan. Xue Miao cried and cried, and Zhao cried even louder when she heard Xue Miao's words.

"Xueyao went to Ding's house as a slave and a maid, who let her go? Although Xue Yao also gave us a piece of cloth and a hairpin during the New Year's holidays, we didn't rely on her to raise them. Who is the smallest contributor to this big family? "The third aunt Cai is usually very sleek, and she never offends anyone, but this time she heard Xue Miao say that Xue Yao was a slave and raised a large family.

It's a mother-daughter heart-to-heart drama. Seeing Zhao and Xue Miao hugging and crying together, Xue Miao thought coldly in her heart.

"Sister Xueyao is working so hard in Ding Mansion, doesn't it mean that the deed of sale signed is not a deed of death, can't it be released in the spring next year? If the second aunt really thinks about Sister Xueyao, she can also redeem it this year. Xue Jiao said innocently with wide eyes.

"It's so simple, where is the money for redemption, it comes from the wind?" Xue Miao said hatefully, and said in her heart that she didn't want her sister to go out of Dingfu, even if she was a slave and a maid, it was better to dress up every day than in the countryside and countryside, not to mention that her clothes, jewelry, and food were provided by her sister.

"It's very simple, Brother Lin married Miss Sun Ju's family, and Sister Xue Miao married Sun Ju's son, isn't it okay." Xue Jiao continued to say innocently, since they were unreasonable, then she would say some innocent things as a child to deliberately stimulate them.

"You" Sure enough, Xue Miao stopped crying, her angry face contorted.

Old Man Chen has been sitting at the top of the Eight Immortals Table, smoking a cigarette pouch, looking at the noisy women and children who are making a pot of porridge without saying a word. Seeing that the noise became more and more intense, I thought in my heart that Xue Jiao couldn't be like this if she didn't speak at first, what's wrong with changing relatives, what's the pity about a girl, and hitting the wall, this is the biggest unfilial piety. Just as she wanted to stop it, Xue Jiao rushed to Old Man Chen's side and brushed off the cigarette ash on Old Man Chen's body and said sweetly: "Grandpa, granddaughter is not filial, which makes grandpa worried, granddaughter must be filial to grandpa when she grows up." ”

Old Man Chen's anger that was originally dissatisfied with Xue Jiao and frustrated in his heart suddenly dispersed a pair of bright eyes at Shang Xue Jiao, knocked on the cigarette pouch and said in a deep voice: "What kind of system, what kind of noise, I'm not afraid of spreading the jokes of the whole village." ”

Chen Xuejiao has no feelings for Old Man Chen, and the reason why she is so considerate to brush the ashes on her grandfather is because she used the wisdom of the 25-year-old in her previous life to analyze the pros and cons. His parents, brothers and sisters are not favored, and if he continues to make trouble like this, Old Man Chen will not do anything to their children, but their parents will suffer. After all, I just came here, and I don't want to fight for this time, but there will be opportunities in the future.
