Chapter 32: Stubbornness
It's all for the good of my body, but what about my heart?
Xie Roujia was stunned by what she said.
What do you mean?
"If you don't drink, you mean it will make me feel better." Old Madam Xie smiled and shook the wine jug in her hand, "But if you don't drink, I'm not happy, so no one cares about this?" ”
Xie Roujia raised a long voice, this is like a child who dislikes bitterness and does not like to take medicine, she sat over with a smile and grabbed Mrs. Xie's arm.
"Good medicine is good for disease." She said, "Isn't the medicine not delicious, so you don't persuade people to take it just to make them happy?" Grandmother, you're being unreasonable. ”
Old Madam Xie laughed.
"Your grandmother, I've never been reasonable in my life." She said, "My son, I know your kindness, stop eating with me every day, tossing those who eat and drink." ”
Xie Roujia went to look at the girls next to her, and the girls were busy waving their hands and laughing.
"Second Miss is not what we said." They laughed.
"How can I hide this, I'm not a fool." Old Madam Xie said with a smile.
That's the same, every day to eat and persuade to eat and drink, and secretly take away the wine jug, even the child can see what she is going to do.
Xie Roujia took her grandmother's arm and shook her head.
She wanted her grandmother to be better, although she didn't know if her grandmother's death in the dream was due to her sister's death, but it was an indisputable fact that her body collapsed because of drinking.
Although she repeatedly convinced herself that it was a dream, the more uneasy she felt as she got closer to the day of the nightmare's events.
She wanted to do something, and she had to do something.
"I'm not trying to let my grandmother know my kindness, I just want my grandmother to drink less." Xie Roujia said.
Old Madam Xie sighed.
"It's not that I don't like drinking after talking about it for a long time." She stretched out her hand to push Xie Roujia, "I didn't let you come to me, go, stay away from me, you are courteous to me, not for your reputation." ”
Xie Roujia was pushed off the Luohan bed.
"Not really." She said, "Grandmother, if you are not in good health, how can your heart be fine, you can do whatever you want, but you may not be happy." ”
You can do whatever you want, but you don't necessarily have to be happy.
When this sentence was heard in Mrs. Xie's ears, her hand holding the wine jug couldn't help but stiffen, and her eyes, which were originally smiling, became cloudy.
In this life, the people around her will only dare to tell her that as long as she is happy, she can do whatever she wants, even her parents are no exception, as long as she is happy, she can do anything.
It was the second time she had heard someone say it to her.
"Is this what you want to do?"
There seemed to be a roar ringing in her ears.
Be.
She also seemed to see the girl stubbornly straighten her back in the distant past.
"Are you happy, then?"
Are you happy? Happy?
Looking at the people who gradually disappeared in front of her, even though they were separated by a lifetime of distance, Old Madam Xie also felt suffocated.
I'm just very happy, I'm just very happy, I don't need you to question me, I don't need you to question me.
"Get out of here!" She shouted.
It seems that this is the only way to exhale all the turbid breath and breathe heavily.
This sudden scolding made the girls in the room kneel down and fall to the ground shaking like chaff.
Xie Roujia was also stunned, tears immediately swirled in her eyes, and her face was hot as if she had been slapped hard.
The quiet pin drop in the room was audible.
The sound naturally spread outside, and Jiang Ling, who was cutting paper, ran inside, and Mu Xiang and another girl quickly hugged her.
"Old lady, our young lady..."Jiang Ling opened his mouth to shout.
Muxiang covered her mouth.
"When the old lady loses her temper, don't dare to rush in, otherwise the old lady will be even more angry." On the side, Mrs. Xie's girl said with a white face and trembling voice.
"Okay, why are you angry?" Mu Xiang said in a trembling voice.
The girl looked at her and smiled wryly.
"Isn't that the old lady?" She whispered.
The old lady's temper is like this, moody, I don't know why it makes her happy, such as the third lady who was rewarded with a box of jewelry in the previous paragraph, even the third lady herself doesn't know, and likewise, she doesn't know that that sentence will annoy her.
When she is happy, she is happy, but when she is unhappy, it doesn't matter who the other party is, and she doesn't distinguish between adults and children, which is why the children in the family dare not come to her.
The second lady is so favored in this paragraph, everyone has forgotten this, it seems that the old lady is still the old lady, but the second lady who was suddenly scolded like this can still stand it?
Mu Xiang looked at the door worriedly, as if she had seen Xie Roujia crying and running out.
"Scared my young lady sick..."Jiang Ling broke free again and shouted loudly.
Mu Xiang and the other girls were frightened and blocked her at the same time.
Xie Roujia really wanted to turn around and run out immediately, just like when she looked at her parents' disgusted eyes in a dream, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
She has lived happily and happily in the past few months since she woke up, everyone spoils her and loves her, and being scolded so suddenly really makes her almost faint.
So scared, scared, she couldn't help but tremble, hide, hide, hide safely.
However, no, it was she who did something wrong at that time, and everyone deserved to dislike her, even she herself was disgusted with herself, but now she has done nothing wrong, she is for her grandmother's body, whether her grandmother is happy or not, drinking alcohol is not a good thing.
She can't be justified and arrogant, and bad things can be regarded as good things, so she should admit her mistakes and be afraid.
"Nope." Xie Roujia said, and shouted loudly.
The girls in the room looked up in surprise, and saw that the second lady who was scolded by the old lady not only shouted no, but also sat down on the Luohan bed.
didn't cry and run out, didn't stand up in a panic to defend himself, and didn't giggle and coquettish the old lady, but sat down.
The girls all stared at each other, forgetting to be afraid.
"No, what, no?" Surprise flashed in Old Madam Xie's cloudy eyes, and she shouted in her mouth.
Xie Roujia sat on the bed without speaking.
There was a girl trembling and trying to pull her.
"Second Miss, admit your mistake to the old lady," she said in a trembling voice.
"Nope." Xie Roujia interrupted her and said, "I'm not wrong. ”
The girl was speechless with a white face in fright.
"So you're saying I'm wrong?" Old Madam Xie glared and shouted.
"It's wrong to do it when you know it's not good." Xie Roujia said.
It's like knowing that it is dangerous for her sister to go to the river to catch fish and play in the water, but she didn't stop it, but followed it, which is wrong.
And the result of this mistake is too disastrous.
Xie Roujia's tears fell like rain.
Sure enough, she still cried, and the girls who knelt on the ground said in their hearts, but Miss Roujia still did not stand up or run out, but sat firmly on the bed and cried.
Old Madam Xie looked at the little girl with her back to her, although she raised her hand to wipe her tears, she was still sitting upright, and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.
"It's not me who asked you to come to me, dislike me for drinking, stay away from me." She said.
"Nope." Xie Roujia still said.
Old Madam Xie snorted.
"No, no, no, look at this little bull." She said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
She said that, she turned over and faced in, and really ignored Xie Roujia.
The girls looked up in amazement, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the two people on the Luohan bed, one wiping tears and the other facing inward, the room is strangely calm.
………………………………………
"What's wrong?"
Sitting at the dinner table, Old Lady Xie finally couldn't help but ask.
His gaze turned to Old Madam Xie and Xie Roujia, although everyone was silent as always, it felt very wrong.
Xie Roujia and Old Madam Xie didn't seem to hear his words, one lowered his head to eat seriously, and the other drank slowly with a bowl of tea and soup, which made Old Lady Xie look a little embarrassed, but it was nothing, Old Lady Xie had already gotten used to it.
He turned his head to look at the girls standing beside him, and the girls looked embarrassed.
The head of the family didn't speak, where did these girls dare to chew their tongues with him.
Old lady Xie shook his head and continued to eat.
In fact, he wronged the girls, because the girls didn't know what it was.
The old lady lost her temper, right? Yes.
The second lady was scolded, right? Yes.
But what's the situation now? It seems that the second lady didn't apologize either, but it seems that Mrs. Xie didn't seem to care either.
Is this the end of the matter? How did it end?
Could it be that the girl came in and asked for the meal, and then the old lady said to set it, and then the two of them went to the table and ended up eating?
The house was eating quietly, and Muxiang outside was also warning Jiangling.
"Don't shout, don't talk." She scolded in a low voice.
Jiang Ling was pressed by two big girls.
"Sister, I won't shout, you let me go." She said.
Mu Xiang sneered.
"I don't believe you." She said.
"Sister, don't you believe me, don't you believe Second Miss?" Jiang Ling said, "It's all right, what am I still yelling about?" ”
It's okay?
Mu Xiang was stunned.
"Yes, it's okay, our second miss is so powerful and hasn't suffered, what am I shouting about?" Jiang Ling grinned.
In autumn, when it gets dark early, the lanterns begin to light up in the courtyard after eating.
After dinner, as always, the three of them sat in the courtyard and talked.
"Grandfather, do you think I'm doing a good job?" Xie Roujia asked, holding up the lantern in her hand.
Old Lady Xie nodded.
"It's good-looking." He smiled and praised, "Jiajia is really quick to learn." ”
"I'll make one for your grandfather when the fifteenth Lantern Festival comes." Xie Roujia said, and added, "I made one for my grandfather." ”
Old Mrs. Xie laughed, and Mrs. Xie, who seemed to be asleep lying on the rocking chair on the side, snorted.
Xie Roujia asked the old lady Xie seriously what flowers and colors she liked, and the two grandparents laughed and laughed.
"It's not too early, it's time to go back."
There was also laughter outside the door, and Xie Wenxing walked in.
Xie Roujia got up to give a salute, and the old lady Xie tilted her head and pretended to sleep.
The girls brought the tea soup, Xie Wenxing ate it and told Mrs. Xie about business, Mrs. Xie half listened and half listened, and the tea soup she took did not put down, but slowly finished eating.
Xie Wenxing didn't notice anything unusual, and after eating the tea and soup, he took Xie Roujia to give a gift and retired.
Watching the father and daughter leave, Old Lady Xie woke up again, sat up straight, turned his head and smiled at Old Lady Xie.
"I see." He said.
Old Madam Xie was taken aback by him.
"Know what?" She glared at him angrily.
Old lady Xie looked at her and smiled, stretched out her hand and nodded.
"You and Jiajia had a fight!" He said, "You guys, this is making trouble! ”
Old Madam Xie snorted.
"I said, how do you look awkward, so that's the case." Old Madam Xie continued, and looked at Old Madam Xie again, "I really didn't expect that someone would dare to make trouble with you, and they would be so arrogant." ”
Speaking of which, he was even more curious.
"It's really strange, how did Jiajia manage to make you feel wrong?"
Old Madam Xie was furious.
"You're at a loss!" She snorted.
Although it didn't seem to happen, the news spread the next day, and everyone who should know naturally knew about it.
"Grandmother lost her temper?"
Xie Rouhui turned her head and asked.
Konoha nodded, and hurriedly booed again.
"It's good that I didn't make a fuss, and the master didn't let me say it." She whispered, and then advised, "Don't ask the second lady, in case you lose face..."
She made a crying motion.
Xie Rouhui smiled.
"I know." She said.
"The eldest lady is the most reassuring." Konoha smiled, and Shi Li retreated.
Xie Rouhui put down the pen and called a little girl outside.
"You go and ask the old lady to say that I want to hold a lantern party in the garden around the 15th Lantern Festival, and invite the sisters and brothers of the family and relatives to come and play." She said.
Although the mother has been the master of the house, the old lady is still there, and she is still the master of the Dan in the clear sense, and the young lady wants to invite someone to hold a lantern party, so she naturally wants the old lady to agree, but for this kind of thing, the old lady will definitely not stop it.
The little girl was busy, and sure enough, she came back in a short time.
"The old lady said that the young lady is at her own convenience." She said.
Xie Rouhui nodded, and picked up the pen with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Xie Roujia asked as she came in from outside.
"I'm going to hold a lantern festival and I'm going to write a post." Xie Rouhui said with a smile, beckoning, "Come, help me write together." ”
Holding a lantern festival is also an annual thing at home, after all, my sister can't go out to see the lights, so it's lively at home.
Xie Roujia responded that she was busy coming in, and when she lifted the pen, she thought of Shao Mingqing.
He's a relative, right?
However, my sister knows that she doesn't like him, so she won't invite him, and she doesn't need to tell her about this kind of thing at all.
"Who am I writing to?" Xie Roujia set up the post in front of her and asked happily.
