Chapter 148: Night Talk
"Sister Miao, my father promised to let me work as a tailor in the shop, and I can still receive a monthly salary." Lu Hui said happily.
"Really? Why did your dad suddenly agree? ”
Lu Hui stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly: "My mother found out about my private work, and my mother was very angry, but my father promised to let me be a tailor." ”
Su Xian seemed to read something from her words, frowned, she spoke very straight, and was inexplicably a little displeased with Lu Hui's obedience, and said sharply:
"You haven't been here since you were a child, your own mother just passed away, and your 'mother' is quite pleasant."
Lu Hui's expression froze.
"Big sister!" Su Yan felt that it was too mean, and called out with a smile.
"My mother kept telling me before she left that when she arrived at her new home, she must get along with Erniang's younger siblings, and said that Erniang has worked very hard to take care of her father outside for so many years, and I must treat Erniang as her filial piety, and I must not let my father be embarrassed." Lu Hui's hand holding his elbow was slightly loose, he half-lowered his head, and smiled stiffly.
"Is your mother a bodhisattva?" Su Xian said incredibly.
"My mother has been weak since she gave birth to me, and she has never been able to give birth to a son for my father to inherit the incense, so I have always felt very sorry for my father."
Su Xian felt annoyed when she heard this, and before she could speak, a very unexpected person suddenly said angrily:
"I'm sorry, isn't there already a girl? Inherit the incense? Having a son? What you said before you got married was so good, but after you got married, was it to give birth to a son and pass on the lineage? Since it's for the sake of inheritance, it's better to just pick one that looks the best to give birth to. What do you do with so many rhetoric! ”
Everyone present was stunned by Lin Yan, who suddenly launched a surge, Lin Yan has always been gentle and kind, and spoke softly. Treating people with smiles, as if they would never be angry, this time she suddenly said this fierce rhetoric coldly, and she was usually gentle, she seemed to be very angry, and even the green tendons on her forehead burst out, which surprised and shocked everyone who was used to seeing her usual appearance. I don't know if she took the wrong medicine or if she didn't sleep well last night and was irritable.
Lin Yan finished her words heavily, and suddenly realized her gaffe when she was dumbfounded by everyone, and covered her lips in a panic. After a pause, he resumed his usual softness, and smiled awkwardly and said:
"I mean, your mother doesn't have to feel sorry for your father, and you don't feel that you are superfluous because of your mother's guilt for your father. I think you should please your second mother. You didn't do anything wrong. The stunned eyes that still did not fade when others looked at her made her feel even more embarrassed, her eyes flickered, and finally she hurriedly said, "Anyway, you should discuss marriage at your age, or let your father find you a good family, but don't be mistaken by your stepmother." ”
Lu Hui's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes and whispered, "My mother told my father about this before she left, and my father agreed." "Stopped. As if he was afraid of being misunderstood, he added, "Actually, my father is very good to me." ”
The crowd looked at her lovingly. She can only think like this now, and maybe her heart will be a little better if she thinks like this.
The clerk, who had not raised his head and was wiping the table, couldn't help but glance back at her at this time, and was inexplicably worried about her.
Lu Hui finished eating half an elbow and wiped her mouth and hurried back, afraid of being discovered by her family.
After Lu Hui left, Su Yan closed the window textbook and said to Su Miao with a flat mouth:
"Second sister, Ah Hui, she must be bullied by her stepmother and sister every day, she is too honest, why don't you give her a job and let her support herself, so that she no longer has to be coerced by her mother's family and swallow her anger."
"You are your sister the director of the shelter, and I run a restaurant, mainly for business, not for people who do not refuse to be employed. Besides, if someone has a father, she will depend on his father for her future marriage, do you understand the words of the matchmaker of her parents? Her needlework is good, and working as a seamstress in her house is the right way. ”
"But she was either beaten or scolded at home, so pitiful!"
"That's her own instigation, if it were me, I would immediately run away from home with that kind of home, and from then on, I will be free, and I will never come back!" Su Chan snorted disdainfully and said impassionedly.
The corners of Su Miao's mouth twitched, and she looked at the rag she was still carrying in her hand:
"Not everyone's ideas are as peculiar as yours, the vast majority of girls still want to live an ordinary life, and the world is very big, your three-legged cat kung fu is relatively peaceful in Changle Town, Fengzhou, so it is barely enough, but if you really want to be fast, I am afraid that you will be robbed by thieves before you leave Qin'an Province to be the lady of the village."
"A thief won't want a man's wife." Su Xian said coolly.
"That's wrong, there are too many men in the bandit nest, they don't pick, as long as it's a woman."
"Third child, you better be an honest man." Su Xian said with a smile.
Su Chan didn't have their sharp teeth, and when she saw them working together, she was a little angry, and said hard:
"Where did so many bandits come from, even if there are I'm not afraid! How can little sparrows like you who are content with the status quo understand the thoughts of the wild geese! ”
"Third sister, that's called 'The Ambition of the Bird'." Su Yan corrected.
"Shut up, I don't even know this, you didn't even study when I did!" Su Chan glared at him and said fiercely.
Su Yan shrunk her neck in fear, and flattened her mouth aggrievedly, the third sister is so terrible!
"I said a long time ago that you should not sleep when you study, but you said that you listened to the lecture with your eyes closed, so it will be exposed." Su Xian laughed when she saw the stitches.
Su Chan glared at her: "I'm listening to the class with my eyes closed, I know what the birds are saying, I'm just talking about my own thoughts!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Xian smiled coldly in a compromised tone.
Su Chan stared at her with a tense face, angry and angry, these two people were born to deal with each other.
Su Miao stroked her forehead and sighed speechlessly.
At that time, Lu Hui walked out of Su Ji from the side door and was about to go to the silk village across the street.
"Miss Lu." A very soft voice sounded.
Lu Hui was stunned for a moment, looked over, and saw the clerk hurriedly walking out of the main entrance and standing in front of her.
"Brother Wen, didn't you just call me Ah Hui." Lu Hui said with a smile.
The clerk was embarrassed to call a girl's maiden name, but he didn't say anything, his eyes never fell on her, and he took it in his arms for a while, and handed her an oiled paper bag.
Lu Hui was stunned for a moment, then opened it, and what was wrapped in the paper bag was a super large soup dumpling:
"What is this?" She laughed in surprise.
"This was made in the store at night, and last time you invited me to eat a bean paste bun, so I left one for you."
"W-What's so embarrassing?" The gift was received too suddenly, even if it was just a bun, but this was the first gift Lu Hui received in her life, and the person who gave her the gift was still Brother Wen, happy, excited, a heart was pounding, and even her cheeks were hot.
"Gifts are still exchanged, although it is just a bun, don't dislike it, take it. It's already cold, you go back and eat it hot. The clerk said.
"Hmm!" Lu Hui nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wen!" ”
The clerk's gaze swept over her smiling face, and she didn't feel that her heart was hot, a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to do.
"Shubai, what are you doing?" Wen walked out of the side door, and she could clearly recognize her son's figure from a long distance in the darkness, and there was a strange black figure standing beside him, although she couldn't see who it was, but a sense of displeasure came up.
The clerk was shocked, as if he had done something bad, and whispered to Lu Hui in a panic:
"My mother is here, go back quickly!"
Lu Hui infected his nervousness, and he also panicked, nodded, picked up the bun and turned around to walk across the street, and soon disappeared into the side door of the silk village.
The two of them obviously didn't do anything, but at the same time they had a sense of being thieves.
Wen came over with a dark face, the clerk tried to calm his panicked heartbeat, and before Wen could speak, he asked first:
"Mother, mother, is it done cleaning up later?"
"That was the goblin on the door just now, right?" Wen had a tense face, and asked a little fiercely.
The humiliating words made the clerk frown: "Mother, why do you say that Miss Lu, she is a girl from a good family, and it is too much for you to say this about a girl." He whispered with his lips twitching.
"Am I too much? Hum! It's just a girl who hasn't left the pavilion to run around, and when she sees a man, she leans up, and the smile is not a rule at first glance, and she doesn't have any education in her behavior and speech, and even her relatives at home don't want to see her, saying that she is a 'little goblin' and cheapens her. What did you just say standing here with her? What does she want to do with you? ”
"Just now, just now, the owner asked me to send a bun to Miss Lu." The clerk's heart tightened, and he naturally told a lie, this was the second time in his life that he lied to his mother, nervousness, helplessness, and guilt overwhelmed him, but he still had to emphasize, "Mother, Miss Lu was bullied by her stepmother and her sister, it's very pitiful, don't talk about her like that, if it spreads, it will ruin her reputation!" ”
"Pathetic? Who is not pitiful! Your mother is not pitiful, your father owes a lot of gambling debts and a life, leaving me alone to sell my property to pay off the debt, and I have to support you. You don't have a pitiful, you didn't have a father at the age of ten, you were called a 'prodigy' when you were a child, but you haven't even been admitted to the show for ten years. Wen snorted disdainfully, "If you have time to pity others, it is better to take care of yourself." I tell you to stay away from that little goblin in the future, and don't talk to her again, do you hear? She commanded sternly.
There was a rare rebellion in the clerk's heart, and he was silent.
"Did you hear that?" Wen was furious and shouted a question.
The clerk reflexively trembled and replied, "I heard it." ”
Wen was satisfied, and the mother and son went home together.
However, I don't know if this time was just a long-brewing opportunity, or an accident, the seed of rebellion in the heart of the clerk began to slowly and quietly sprout. (To be continued......)
