Chapter 16: Arrogance
The curtain sounded, and the women came out of the house, followed by three little girls.
Mrs. Xie's face was red, and she couldn't hide her embarrassment, and before she could speak, the second lady Shao Shi held her hand.
"Ayuan, don't worry, listen to the mother and the child." She said.
"It depends on whether they can listen to them." Mrs. Xie said angrily.
"I know you're doing it for Jiajia's good, isn't it, mother?" Shao Shi smiled, "Jiajia, it's good after all." ”
Mrs. Xie's expression paused slightly.
's daughter is a nightmare, and it seems that Shao Mingqing scared her in her dream, so she did such an aggressive behavior to Shao Mingqing, I originally thought it was okay, but I didn't expect that today because of the mention of Shao Mingqing, it will make trouble again.
It seems that the nightmare still left a big shadow.
"I have to go see Mingqing for myself." She sighed and said with a bit of shame.
Shaw smiled.
"You're almost there." She smiled, "It's said that Jiajia is sick and a child, are the people of my mother's family so stingy in the eyes of your sister-in-law?" ”
"Come in, we're going back." Song also smiled, and reached out to pull Xie Roushu.
Over there, Xie Rouqing followed Shao Shi down the steps.
Xie Yao, who was holding hands with Xie Rouhui, also bowed and retired.
"Yaoyao, you have eaten here." Mrs. Xie took her hand and said.
Xie Yao smiled and thanked him.
"Thank you, aunt, but tonight my brothers are back, and my mother asked me to eat together." She said, saluting again.
Mrs. Xie stroked her shoulder.
"Good boy, I'm sorry for you." She said, and called the servant woman to send it over in person, "Take a jar of Xinglouchun sent from Beijing and send it to the children to eat." ”
The cinnabar of the Xie family is a tribute, and the so-called wine sent from Beijing is naturally a royal gift, and not everyone in the Xie family can eat it.
Xie Yao didn't shirk either, and said with a smile, Xie left with the girl.
The courtyard was quiet, and Mrs. Xie sighed.
"Mother." Xie Rouhui reached out and pulled her sleeve, and shouted worriedly and worriedly.
Mrs. Xie patted her hand and walked into the room with her feet up.
The lights in the room were bright, and Xie Roujia sat next to Mrs. Xie.
"Grandmother is going to tell everybody." She hugged Old Madam Xie's arm and said.
Old Madam Xie laughed.
"Okay, don't worry, you don't have to tell everyone, just tell the gatekeeper, no, tell the people at our Pengshui City Gate, as long as the kid from the Shao family comes, it's enough not to enter." She laughed.
"Do they listen?" Xie Roujia asked with some concern, "What if there is an omission?" After all, the second uncle, the third uncle, and the second uncle and grandfather are all at home. ”
Old Madam Xie felt that her authority had been questioned, and she hummed.
"You still don't believe in Grandmother?" She said, her drunken eyes rolled worriedly, "I'll have someone call that kid from the Shao family tomorrow, and when he enters the city gate, you can see if the guards let him in." ”
When the time comes, the guards will beat him away, so that not only the people of the Xie family will know, but the whole city will also know. ”
If this is the case, Shao Mingqing will never set foot in Pengshui again in his life.
Xie Roujia's eyes lit up.
"Good, good." She said.
"Xie Roujia!"
Mrs. Xie's angry eyes were on fire.
Xie Roujia shrank her head in fright.
"Are you alright?" Mrs. Xie shouted, standing in front of her, "What kind of grudge do people have with you?" It's not enough for you to hurt people, but you also want to ruin people's reputation! ”
"What are you shouting, what's a big deal, isn't it just a kid, hit it, scold it, scold it, what reason do you want." Old Madam Xie snorted and said, hugging Xie Roujia, "Look at the child." ”
"Mother! Can you get used to her like this? Mrs. Xie said angrily, reached out and grabbed Xie Roujia and carried it out.
"Oh, what are you doing?" Old Madam Xie shouted, holding on.
Xie Roujia was pulled by the two and shouted.
Xie Rouhui also stepped forward.
"Mother, grandmother, let go." She shouted, "Hurt my sister." ”
Old Madam Xie and Mrs. Xie immediately let go when they heard this, and Xie Roujia fell to the ground.
"Jiajia."
The three of them shouted worriedly.
My mother was very angry, and she was hit very hard, and now her buttocks and back still hurt, but when her mother heard that the pull hurt her, she let go of her hand as soon as possible.
After her sister died in the dream, her mother was also very angry, but she didn't beat her or scold her, she just looked at her coldly, and the disgust in her eyes was even more painful than beating her.
Her mother beat her and scolded her, in the final analysis, because she loved her and was worried about her, if she didn't even beat or scold, then she would have no love for her.
Xie Roujia burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, not afraid." Old Madam Xie hurriedly grabbed her and coaxed her.
"You're still crying, you still know how to cry!" Mrs. Xie shouted, but she couldn't hide her worry in her eyes.
The servant woman on the side saw it.
"Go and call the doctor." She shouted.
Mrs. Xie didn't speak, and a few girls hurriedly walked out.
"No, no need to call a doctor, I'm fine." Xie Roujia hurriedly cried, raising her sleeves to wipe her tears.
Old Madam Xie snorted.
"Go, go, go with Grandmother." She said, pulling Xie Roujia up and walking out without saying anything.
"Mother!" Mrs. Xie shouted, "You can't be so arrogant to her!" ”
Xie Rouhui hugged her arm.
"Mother, mother, don't talk about this now, don't talk about it now, wait until my sister is better." She pleaded. "Don't be scared, my sister is sick."
The three words "sick" made Mrs. Xie stop and looked at Xie Roujia, who was pulled out by Mrs. Xie.
The curtain of the door was opened, and someone rushed in from outside.
"What's wrong? What happened to Jiajia? Xie Wenxing asked.
"I was stupid by your daughter-in-law." Old Madam Xie snorted and said.
Xie Wenxing was stunned by what he said.
"Mother." He gave a salute.
Old Madam Xie didn't even look at him, and pulled Xie Roujia past him.
"Where is Jiajia going?" Xie Wenxing hurriedly asked.
"Leave her alone, go wherever you like." Mrs. Xie shouted, "If you go, don't come back." ”
Xie Wenxing frowned, the door curtain sounded, and Mrs. Xie pulled Xie Roujia out.
The father did not catch up.
Xie Roujia looked back, the lantern in front of the door was bright, and the girl under the porch stood with her hands down.
Grandmother's yard is just around the corner, and it's not a short walk away.
Grandfather was lying on a bench in the courtyard looking at the stars, and two little girls were sitting next to him, playing the piano and singing a little song.
"Is this big or small?" He asked, looking at Xie Roujia with a little surprise, "It's really rare, why did I come with you so late?" ”
Grandmother ignored him and only let the girls set the meal.
"Jiajia, what do you want to eat?" She asked with a smile.
Xie Roujia raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, but didn't speak.
Grandmother found a few girls to wash her face, and the meal was already set after cooking.
"Don't be afraid, cry what to cry, our children can't cry, they can only let others cry." She said as she gave Xie Roujia a meal with her own hands, "What's the matter, your mother is making a fuss, look at what scares our Jiajia." ”
"Ayuan is not a person who makes a fuss." Grandfather said, sitting down on the other side of the table, he already knew what was going on from the girl, and hurriedly interjected, "She did all the more frightening things when she was a child, but when she grew up, she was detained by some people." ”
These people are naturally Xie Wenxing.
My grandfather really didn't like my father very much, like a child, and he would mumble to his father when he had the opportunity.
Xie Roujia couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, laugh, laugh." Grandfather smiled, reached out and picked up a piece of duck head and handed it over, "Come, come, our Jiajia's favorite duck head." ”
But it is precisely like this, when my grandmother died, my grandfather was alone, and he moved out of the Xie family's mansion to live in Yushan, and he died not long after he was depressed.
Xie Roujia has little impression of her grandmother and grandfather, but now it seems that her grandmother dotes on her, and her grandfather knows that she likes to eat duck heads the most.
How much did you lose in your dreams?
Her tears couldn't help but fall.
The grandmother snorted and glared at the grandfather, who picked up the duck's head with some scorn.
"Jiajia doesn't like to eat, so if you don't like it, you won't eat it." He said.
"Aren't you eating? Why do you sit down again? Grandmother said angrily.
Grandfather touched the tip of his nose.
"I'm not full, I'm not full, eat more." He said.
Xie Roujia couldn't help but laugh again.
Grandfather immediately laughed as he saw it.
"Look, smile, our Jiajia is the best." He said, "Crying nose is ugly." ”
Xie Roujia sniffed, looked at her grandfather and nodded.
"Grandfather, I want to eat duck head." She said.
Grandfather smiled and reached out to pick up a piece for her.
Xie Roujia picked up the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
"What a good boy." Grandmother said, picking up the flask next to her and pouring it.
Xie Roujia stood up, picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table, picked up the food, and held it to her grandmother.
"Grandmother, grandmother, you eat too." She said.
Old Madam Xie smiled, put down the wine glass she had just picked up, and opened her mouth to eat.
"En, our Jiajia is really sensible." She said.
Xie Roujia motioned to the girls.
"Serve food to grandmother." She said.
"I won't eat it, Jiajia will eat it." Grandmother laughed as she picked up her glass again.
Xie Roujia put down her chopsticks and ran over to pick up the wine jug.
"Nope." "Grandmother wants to eat too," she said. ”
Grandfather laughed.
"You can eat it, eat it, and make the child happy." He said.
Grandmother laughed, drank the wine glass, put it aside, said hello, and the girls on the side were busy serving the meal.
"Add a scallion bunny, the old lady's favorite." Grandfather also said happily.
"What to add, it's cold after adding it." Grandmother glared at him and said, picked up chopsticks, looked at Xie Roujia and smiled, "Can't let us Jiajia wait, hurry, eat." ”
Xie Roujia smiled and nodded, holding the wine jug and sitting back in her seat.
Grandfather laughed.
"Eat, eat, eat." He also said, picking up his chopsticks.
Compared with the happy grandchildren here, Mrs. Xie's atmosphere here is dull, and the girls who set up vegetables and meals in the house don't dare to make a sound at all.
Mrs. Xie put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.
The rice in the bowl didn't move.
"Eat." Xie Wenxing said.
"I can't eat it." Mrs. Xie said angrily, and simply stood up and walked to the inner room.
Xie Rouhui hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up with a little uneasiness.
Xie Wenxing glanced at her comfortably.
"Megumii, you can eat." He said, also stood up and walked to the inner room, looking at Mrs. Xie who was sitting in front of the window, "What are you angry with the child?" ”
"How old is she, and what about children? also said that she was sensible, is this called sensible? This is clearly becoming more and more unusual. Mrs. Xie said angrily.
"Jiajia is not the kind of person who is not sensible." Xie Wenxing said, "She's just scared. ”
Mrs. Xie turned her head to look at him, frowned, and smiled again.
"Sure enough, they are all eight-foot high lampstands, shining on others, not on themselves." She said, "You used to say that it was not good for my mother to be so arrogant to me, but now you are like this, what is the difference between you and my mother?" ”
Xie Wenxing smiled.
"Nothing." He said, "Jiajia is not because of nightmares, as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of the well rope, although I don't have nightmares, but in the end I am afraid of Shao Mingqing." ”
Mrs. Xie sighed.
"I didn't expect this kid to be scared like this." She said, but her eyebrows furrowed as soon as she spoke, "And I'm angry because I didn't expect her to make such a fuss, can she be afraid, afraid that she can't say it well?" What do you see she did? pushed the sisters, ran to the garden by himself, and stood on the rockery to scare people. ”
Xie Wenxing was silent for a moment.
"Maybe Jiajia doesn't know what to say." He said.
"It's because she doesn't know how to say it, so I'm going to teach her how to say it." Mrs. Xie said, "You can't be arrogant like your mother, if she doesn't like it, she can beat Shao Mingqing, and she can ruin someone's reputation?" ”
Xie Wenxing's brows also furrowed.
Mrs. Xie sighed heavily.
"Mother is like this, I don't think Jiajia is far away."
"She's never done anything like this before, but it's not so obvious, it's like being sick, crying and messing with the nurse girl can't persuade her, so she has to go over to do it."
"Not only in front of us, she is also becoming more and more domineering outside, Sister Shu'er They said, how happy Jiajia is in the school, how to come, if she is unhappy, she will shake her face and leave, and when she is happy, she will act on her own, and always let Huihui accompany her to clean up the mess."
"She can cry once or twice, she has tasted the sweetness, you see this time it has intensified again, in order to achieve the goal, one crying, two troubles, three hangings, three years old, three years old, can you just say that she is still a child and turn a blind eye?"
"Brother Achang, Jiajia, she is different from other second misses, there are some things that cannot be connived up."
There was silence in the room.
Xie Rouhui, who was sitting outside, lowered her head and ate grain by grain, as if she was afraid of making a noise and disturbing her parents' speech.
"I know, don't worry, I'm angry today, wait until I'll talk to her tomorrow."
There was a father's voice in the room, and after a sentence, there was silence again, and Mrs. Xie did not pick up her husband's words as quickly as before.
Xie Roujia bit her chopsticks.
"You don't have to talk to her, just tell her, don't come back."
Mrs. Xie's voice came, and at the same time, the bead curtain was flung and the brush was pulled.
Xie Rouhui hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up, looking at her mother who came out.
"Are you done eating?" Mrs. Xie looked at her with a smile and asked.
Xie Rouhui nodded.
"Alright, it's time for us to learn the sacrificial words." Mrs. Xie said, "Let's go." ”
Xie Rouhui hesitated.
"Mother, let's eat first." She said.
Mrs. Xie reached out and touched her shoulder.
"I don't want to eat it." She said, "Let's go." ”
Xie Rouhui grinned and reached out to take her mother's hand.
"Mother is not well-behaved, if you don't want to eat, you won't eat." "It's the same as my sister." ”
Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and reached out and nodded her daughter's head.
"You don't need to intercede with your sister." She said, "It's useless for anyone to intercede this time." ”
Because her brows stretched out and her eyes softened, she reached out to hold Xie Rouhui's hand.
"It's good that you're a good one." She said, as if she was talking to Xie Rouhui, and as if she was sighing to herself.
