Chapter 31
When the door was pushed open, Xie Rouqing was eating.
She slept too late last night, and when she woke up, it was already dawn, because she couldn't go out without Shaw's permission, so she didn't have to go to the school, and she could eat breakfast slowly.
The door was pushed open, and seeing Shao Shi walking in, Xie Rouqing was a little surprised, of course, not surprised that Shao Shi would come to see her, but Shao Shi's expression.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xie Rouqing asked in surprise, looking at the lost Shaw Clan.
Shaw sat down and looked at her.
"When I was your age, I was married to your father." She didn't answer, but said suddenly.
Xie Rouqing was stunned.
What is this to say?
"The family is happy, everyone up and down has praised me for my good fortune, my sisters and sisters are also very envious, and I am also happy, because everyone is happy, everyone says yes, and I also saw your father when I was a child, he is a beautiful boy." Shaw said, with a bit of reminiscence, and a smile appeared on his face.
Reminiscing? Many times when people are not satisfied with the status quo, they will reminisce about the past, and those good times in their memories can be comforted, Xie Rouqing frowned, could it be that his father and mother had a dispute? And the mother is sad?
"But when everyone was happy, there was a sister who said that marrying into the Xie family was not a good fortune at all." Shaw continued, "I was very angry at the time, thinking that she was jealous of me and cursed me, but this sister said that it was not she who cursed me, but the Xie family I was going to marry would curse me, because the Xie family was a witch." ”
She sighed.
"Qing'er, do you know what a witch is?" She said.
Of course she knew, as others said, the Xie family was a witch, how could she not know as a child of the Xie family.
Xie Rouqing nodded.
"You know, you know, but you don't feel anything." Shaw said, "The current Xie family is different from before, not only the Xie family, but the entire Bashu is no longer what it was a hundred years ago." ”
"Now that there is an official government here and a doctor, those witchcraft have been diluted, you see, if you are sick now, a doctor will come to show you, and if something happens to someone outside, you can report it to the official, but it was not like this before."
"In the past, this Pengshui, this Bashu are all witches' world, if you are sick, there will be witches to treat you, and if something happens, you will ask witches to decide, people's life, old age, sickness and death are inseparable from witches, and the Xie family is the head of the Bashu witches, do you know what this represents?"
Shaw exhaled, a little excited.
"For example, if the great witch of the Xie family points his hand and says that someone is guilty, then everyone on the street can beat that person to death without hesitation, without asking about cause and effect."
Hearing this, Xie Rouqing probably understood what was going on.
It seems that the mother is still too worried that she will go to see the old lady this time and say something like that and get annoyed.
"Mother, you also said that it was before, not now, and it is not like this now." She interrupted Shaw, "Don't worry, no one will let anyone kill anyone, and I won't be killed." ”
Shao Shi nodded, without Xie Rouqing's expected rebuttal.
"Yes, I think so too, and after that sister said it at the time, I refuted her like this." She said, "That sister said, yes, although the current Xie family is still the head of the Bashu family, it is not because they are great witches, and they can no longer casually beat people to death on the street, but the Xie family still has witches, and there is not only one way to die alone." ”
As she spoke, her casual gaze once again focused on Xie Rouqing.
"Don't forget, how did my aunt die?"
At this moment, Shaw Brothers seemed to have become the sister in her mouth, and Xie Rouqing became herself.
Xie Rouqing was stunned.
"Auntie?" She didn't react.
"That's right, the Shao family's aunt." Shao said, "You are not the first daughter of the Shao family to marry into the Xie family. ”
Xie Rouqing remembered, of course her mother was not the first, Xie Shao's two families were old in-laws, not to mention a few lifetimes ago, that is, the latest, the wife of Xie Cunli, the old lady of Xifu, was the daughter of the Shao family, but she died early, and Xie Rouqing and these juniors had no impression.
However, Xie Rouqing knew that his uncle and grandmother were sick and died, why did his mother say something so strange?
"Mother, are you stunned? My uncle and grandmother died of illness. Xie Rouqing raised her voice.
"Sick and dead." Shaw sneered, "Yes, she died of illness, but do you know how she got sick?" ”
She didn't know this, Xie Rouqing didn't speak.
"Because she annoyed your great-grandmother." Shaw said.
Xie Rouqing's deceased grandfather is Xie Huayu, that is, Mrs. Xie's own brother.
Then her great-grandmother is also Mrs. Xie's mother, the last generation of the Great Dan Lord Xie Rong.
This great-grandmother is said to be even more powerful than the current Mrs. Xie, and she passed away when Xie Rouqing was five years old, so she has no impression.
Xie Rouqing looked at her mother.
"Mother, there are some things you can't talk nonsense." She said.
Shaw smiled and sighed again.
"See, it's all like this, if anyone says that Lord Dan is not, everyone doesn't believe it." She said.
Xie Rouqing frowned and was about to speak, but Shao interrupted her.
"Believe it or not, listen to me, my aunt and grandmother had a good life at the beginning when she got married, but then she annoyed your great-grandmother, as for how she was annoyed, it is definitely not a sentence or two sentences, one thing or two things, in short, gradually your great-grandmother dislikes her very much." She continued, "And of course your great-grandmother won't say that people will beat her to death, she just needs to let people know that she doesn't like her aunt and grandmother, and if she doesn't like it, the whole family doesn't like it, no one talks to her, no one comes to say hello to her, no doctor comes when she's sick..."
Shao Shi looked at Xie Rouqing, and Xie Rouqing's body couldn't help but tense.
"So, she fell ill and died." Shaw said slowly, aggravating his tone on the word sick.
Xie Rouqing stood up abruptly, looking incredulous.
"Impossible!" She said, "How can this be? What about Uncle Tai? Does he not care? ”
Shaw smiled.
"How can he care? Isn't it just a wife? Lord Dan doesn't like it, so it's good to change it again, he wishes this one would die soon. She said.
A one-day husband and wife, let alone a wife who has children with him, can he be so ruthless?
Xie Rouqing thought of Xie Cunli's scolding of Xie Roujia.
Why can't it, except for Dannu, other women are nothing in his eyes.
Xie Rouqing was silent again.
"Then my grandfather's house doesn't care?" She asked, how can she bear her daughter's illness and no one cares about it?
Shaw laughed again.
"Lord Dan is unhappy, the Xie family and the Shao family are going to have a share, those thousands of business dealings, but they are going to be damaged, Qing'er, marrying a daughter, originally wanted the two families to be good, but now the two families are not good, this daughter will be useless, but become a scourge, you say, what will happen to your grandfather's family?" She said.
"My grandfather's family also wished she had ......died sooner," Xie Rouqing muttered, only to feel cold hands and feet.
Shaw nodded.
"Later, my aunt and grandmother died of illness in less than half a month, and everyone was happy as if they were celebrating the New Year." She said, smiling.
Looking at her mother's smile, Xie Rouqing felt cold all over her body.
Because she was ugly since she was a child, although she has the protection of her father, mother and brothers, she is also somewhat inevitably told and laughed by others in private, so she knows what it means to be cold-eyed than other girls.
But the feeling of cold eyes, compared to this feeling of everyone happy when you die, is like the sun in March.
Xie Rouqing seemed to see a woman lying alone on the bed, and everyone couldn't wait for her to breathe, what would she feel like in her heart?
Xie Rouqing's body trembled, and tears couldn't help but fall.
"This can't be, this can't be, this is a family, it's blood relatives." She said in a trembling voice.
Even passers-by will sigh and pity when they see a seriously ill and seriously injured person, even if they don't reach out to help, right?
"I didn't believe it either." Shaw said, "After the marriage, the elders of the family began to tell me to teach me, other people's families are taught how to get along with their husbands, but I was taught how to get along with the Dan Lord, the husband and mother-in-law in this family can be slow, but there is one person who must not be slow, as long as you can win the favor of the Dan Lord, the whole family will compliment you and please you, and your husband and mother-in-law will also treat you as a baby." ”
This is the same as what the children in the family have been taught since childhood, and Xie Rouqing is very familiar with this.
"Everyone knows that you have to get along well with Lord Dan in order to have a good life." Shaw continued, "Actually, the other way around, if you are not good with Lord Dan, then there will be no good days, this is not to say that Lord Dan will treat you well, Qing'er, Lord Dan will not treat you well, she just needs to let everyone know that she is unhappy, and there are more people who want to make her happy." ”
It's actually easy to make an unhappy person happy, just solve the thing that makes her unhappy.
"You haven't seen Shu'er in a few days, have you?" Shaw said.
Xie Rouqing looked at her with a somewhat uneasy expression.
"She, how's it going?" She asked, "Are you sick too?" ”
At this moment, when I talk about the word illness again, I feel a little different.
"No, she's going to kiss." Shaw said.
Xie Rouqing was stunned.
"She, she's still young!" She said.
"What about being small?" Shaw said, "At such a young age, she has annoyed the eldest lady and eldest lady several times in a row, can she still keep it?" Do you want to block everyone when it's big? Your third uncle is bent on fighting with your father for more three points of water, if it is not jealous, she will dare to strangle her, isn't it just a daughter, what is the matter, he has three sons, and he will compete with our second room in the future. ”
Xie Rouqing puffed and sat back again.
"Then the family affair she wants to talk about, there must be no good family matter." She muttered.
"I don't know if it's good or not, it's definitely far away." Shaw said.
Far away, Xie Roushu is so stupid, marrying far away without the support of her family, what good life can she have.
Although I hate this fourth sister every day, I don't want her to have a bad life.
"Qing'er, I'm not crazy." Shaw looked at his dejected daughter, "I'm here to tell you, the old lady has returned, and she has already started talking to the eldest lady about it." ”
Xie Rouqing looked at her mother.
"Qing'er, the old lady and the eldest lady are going to be angry again, this time they are angry and different from before, because it is not the trivial matter of the women and children in the house, but the mine." Shaw said, "Because she went to the mine, the eldest lady is angry, because the eldest lady is angry for the mine, and the old lady is also angry, do you know what this is for?" ”
It was like a tongue twister, but Xie Rouqing still understood.
The mine, cinnabar, is owned by the Dan Lord, is the right of the Dan Lord, and the old Dan Lord and the current Dan Lord are angry because of the mine, that is, because of the power.
Power struggles.
The two Dan lords competed for power, which was an unprecedented event that was related to the life and death of the family.
"But that's not what the old lady meant." Xie Rouqing said.
"She said no, and she just said, can she not let others think like this?" Shaw said, "Qing'er, I'm here to tell you so much, just to sue you, this time, no matter what happened to the old lady and the eldest lady, or they didn't make trouble in the end, but this incident really happened, and you are the one who provoked this matter." ”
Xie Rouqing looked at her mother.
"So what?" She asked, "Will I get sick or will I marry far away?" ”
Shaw reached out and touched her face.
"Qing'er, I'm here to sue you, whether you're sick or married far away, don't expect your father to protect you." She said, "No matter how much you love, it's nothing in front of Lord Dan, Qing'er, if you want to blame it, your life is not good." ”
She said so, hid her face, turned and rushed out.
The cry came from outside the door, and the door of the house was immediately closed, accompanied by the sound of locking, the originally bright room dimmed for a moment, and Xie Rouqing stood in it for a long time without moving.
"I don't believe it." She said suddenly, her hand clenched at her side, "I don't believe that life is given to others. ”
……………………………………
Compared with the Shao Family, who was directly frightened by the old lady's words and turned around and fled, Mrs. Xie's expression calmed down after being surprised, and she didn't ask angrily as usual.
She stood up in surprise because Mrs. Xie said to ask for a doctor, and she sat back again.
The girls in the house had retreated in panic, and only their mother and daughter were left in the room.
"Mother, what if I'm confused?" Mrs. Xie asked lightly.
Old Madam Xie looked at her and smiled.
"Then let me, who is not confused, be this Dan master for you again." She said.
