Chapter 006: Grandmother
As soon as the crisp and tender children's voice came out, the smile on the face of the third old lady froze, but she showed her face again. But for some reason, the smile hanging on the corner of her mouth at this moment did not look happy at all.
Seeing this, the Song family knew that Xie Shuning was young and didn't know what to say wrong, so he couldn't help but panic and hurriedly wanted to stop her.
Xie Shuning quietly stepped away from his short legs and dodged Song's hand. She knew that the Song family was timid, and when she entered the Xie family today, she would just want not to make mistakes, not to cause trouble, and not to let her father be caught in the middle and be difficult to behave. So she can't count on the Song family today.
She pretended to be frightened, approached Xie Yuanmao, and softly hugged herself: "Daddy, I'm afraid." ”
"Mother......" Xie Yuanmao looked at the suddenly changing faces of the three old ladies, and couldn't help sighing. He didn't dare to pick Xie Shuning up, so he just let her cling to his trousers and whispered to the third old lady as if begging for mercy.
When the third old lady heard this, she only smiled and did not speak. Chen, on the other hand, felt unhappy all of a sudden.
She thought that she was afraid that she would be a widow for the rest of her life, but who knew that Xie Yuanmao was still alive. However, blessings and misfortunes lurked, but Xie Yuanmao had already become his own son outside. Now she can only rely on herself as the niece of the third old lady to support her confidence. Xie Yuanmao has been back for half a year, but he has never entered her house, and he seems to be unwilling to admit that she is his wife. It's good to say, in the end, it's decided to wait for him to pick people up from Jiangnan.
But looking at the scene in front of him, Chen suddenly became a little flustered.
However, the third old lady didn't speak, and she, a junior, couldn't speak.
The masters didn't make a sound at all, and a few of the subordinates didn't even dare to come out. A room full of people fell silent.
Song lowered his head and held Xie Yi's hand tightly without moving. Xie Yuanmao only twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to break the silence of this room. Only Xie Shuning hid behind her pretended panicked face, and carefully looked at the three old ladies and the Chen family.
At this time, the third old lady was much younger than the person she remembered, and there was not even a trace of fine lines in the corners of her eyes. In addition to the slightly old-fashioned clothes and utensils, she even looks like she can be Chen's sister!
A fairy-like old woman!
Xie Shuning gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded viciously.
Compared with Chen, she hated the third old lady even more.
In the room where the light is not bright, the complexion of the three old ladies is extremely white and thin, and there is a kind of clarity in the faint way. There was not even a single spot on it, and the skin was so tight that people couldn't see through their age, and they definitely wouldn't think that this was already a grandmother. She smiled, but it still made people think that her expression was gloomy, and her eyes were even more frighteningly sharp.
Xie Shuning looked at it, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
No wonder in their previous life, the three of them didn't even have the strength to fight back in front of the three old ladies, how could their mother be an enemy of such a person who was invisible?
In the back house, there was already gunsmoke, and the mother gradually lost her father's heart later, so the situation naturally became worse and worse. Speaking of which, she was indeed too young at the time to ignore even the most basic points.
Although the back house is a battlefield for women, men are the most important weapons in this war.
Whoever gets Xie Yuanmao's heart first will be the winner.
And they, first of all, the mother somehow lost the father's heart, and became depressed day by day, even the occasional laughter with a sad bitterness. She has a fierce temperament, thinking that her mother will become like this, it is all Chen's fault, one day she saw her infant sister Xie Shumin, angrily stepped forward to scratch her face, and left a hole on her forehead.
It was precisely because of this that Xie Shumin was determined to ruin her appearance before she could vent her anger.
Now that she thinks about it, Xie Shuning can't remember at all how she did it to her star-studded sister in the first place. She was only six years old at the time, and she was not too young to mention her strength. How could she break through the encirclement under the guard of the nurse and a group of maids and mothers-in-law, and scratch a hole in Xie Shumin's forehead?
But no matter what, this order, the mother and son were completely disgusted by their father.
Grandmother even took advantage of this incident to send her to the Grange to cultivate her self-cultivation.
Mother naturally refused to agree, she was still so young, she was sent to the grange like this, who knows what she will look like, and whether she still has the life to grow up safely. But the grandmother spoke, and the Chen family hugged Xie Shumin every day and cried incessantly, which caused the long house to be alarmed, how could the mother still stop it? What's more, at that time, the position of the main room had already fallen on the head of the Chen family. At a young age, she became a vicious person who wanted to harm her sister-in-law. The mother naturally became the poisonous woman who instigated the young girl to harm others, and it was difficult to protect herself!
I heard that on the day she was sent to the carriage, her mother hugged Gui's mother and cried until midnight, and vomited blood halfway. It wasn't until Daystar came up that he fell into a deep sleep, and he never woke up the next day.
The cold air invaded from the floor tiles, and Xie Shuning's hand holding Xie Yuanmao's trouser tube was trembling slightly.
She was afraid.
I'm scared.
She was the last straw that crushed her mother, and this realization has been haunting her for many years after her mother's death. Even if Gui's mother desperately told her that it was not her fault, she was young and was just harmed. But she still felt that it was all her fault.
If it weren't for her, my mother might not have died so soon, and my brother would not have been killed so easily.
The well-trimmed and smooth nails shone brightly on Xie Yuanmao's cyan trousers. Xie Shuning stared at his hand coldly, only to feel that it was not his father's trousers who were caught in his hand at this moment, but the three old ladies and Chen's aunt and nephew.
This time, she will never be slaughtered again!
"Alright." After a long time, the third old lady finally smiled and said, "I must be tired after a long journey, and when it is so cold and freezing." Now that you have seen it, let us go down and rest. ”
It's just that her smile fell in Xie Shuning's eyes, and she smiled so coldly.
When the third old lady smiled, only the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, the arc was very small, and her smile was extremely faint.
But just such a smile made Xie Yuanmao breathe a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Song Shi busily, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, my son will bring the children to greet his mother." ”
The third old lady tucked the stove into her sleeve, "That's it, it's cold today, and the children came from the south again, I'm afraid they won't be able to get up in the morning, so it's better to ask them to sleep more." As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at the Song family and said, "Look at it, it's a thin body, and the people in the south can't help but freeze, so take good care of your body." ”
When Song heard this, he was flattered, and only nodded and thanked him.
Xie Shuning sighed secretly, her mother was protected too well by her uncle, she had never suffered in her life, she had never tried to look at people's faces to live, but now when she arrived at Xie's house, everything was turned upside down, which made her mother at a loss.
It's just that she is young after all, so she shouldn't say much, so she can only stop at the point. She just said that Chen's words were extremely outrageous, and she could really only pretend to be scared and stick to her father and not move.
But the third old lady could bear it, but Chen was not so good at qualifying.
