Chapter Ninety-One: The New Girl
Zhu'er followed Dong Xiaoman with a depressed face, and the Li family was not even willing to let Zhu'er take the clothes she usually wore. Li's meaning is that she can wear Zhu'er's clothes herself, and since Dong Xiaoman is Zhu'er's mother-in-law, she should provide Zhu'er with clothes.
Dong Xiaoman didn't care about Zhu'er's clothes, and returned home with a stomach full of anger and gritted his teeth. When he got home, he pulled Zhu'er to the side room, closed the door and said to Zhu'er angrily: "I didn't expect today's incident." I know that such a thing as Lu Dao will not be a small blow to you, but I just want to tell you that since you have no choice and no resistance, let it be. They treat you like this, and you still think about the other end with all your heart, which can only call you stupid. If you don't have the same heart as me, then I can only admit bad luck. Okay, your heart is also very messy, I'm also incoherent, I'll go out of the road first and you can rest. ”
After speaking, Dong Xiaoman left the room, leaving Zhu'er alone to wipe her tears in the room.
Dong Xiaoman entered the main house, and when he saw Mrs. Wang's face was angry, he knew in his heart that this was Xiaohu who had finished the small report. Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak, she said, "Don't persuade me, I feel like a mirror in my heart." The other head will never spit out the meat in its mouth, but I didn't think of the reason to ask someone's daughter to pay it back. Fortunately, Zhu'er has been with me for a long time, so it doesn't matter if you admit it. Besides, Zhu'er has suffered a lot, so maybe she can be considered a transshipment with us. ”
Mrs. Wang didn't think so: "No matter how good the stepmother is, she can't compare to her own mother." Her mother doesn't let her eat every day, that's also her own mother, can others dare to say a word? You just give her delicacies every day, and if people hear a sentence that you shout at her, it is also your sin. You, what can I say about you? It's just stupid, and I'm always deceived by others. ”
Dong Xiaoman smiled indifferently: "It's a blessing to suffer, and I'm willing to do it." ”
Seeing that Dong Xiaoman didn't look like oil and salt, Mrs. Wang angrily threw Jue'er into her arms: "See for yourself." I don't care about it. ”
Xiaohu happily followed behind Mrs. Wang and persuaded her, Dong Xiaoman raised his eyes and saw Erya standing at the door, saw Dong Xiaoman raise his head and hurriedly came in and said, "Grandma." Do you want to go back to your old house? ”
Dong Xiaoman said a little tiredly: "No, you go cook." ”
As soon as Erya turned around, she saw Dong Xiaoman and said, "By the way, Zhu'er is the master of our family, you clean up the West Chamber, and you can move in." Pour out that room of yours for her, and I'll buy her two pieces of furniture tomorrow. ”
Erya didn't say anything, and just left. The boss in my heart is not happy. She heard what Xiaohu said to Mrs. Wang, and knew the ins and outs.
She felt that her father and mother were hateful and didn't treat herself as a human being, but she didn't expect Zhu'er to be pitiful, there are really such parents in the world, which really makes her unbelievable. But when I saw a kind-hearted person like my grandmother, I felt that the world was not all bad people.
At dinner, Zhu'er pushed off her tired body and refused to come out to eat, Dong Xiaoman didn't blame her, just asked Erya to bring her food and didn't say anything.
Early the next morning, Zhu'er appeared in the kitchen with Erya, who knew Zhu'er's identity. Whether people are succeeded or not, it stands to reason that they are their own masters.
Zhu'er doesn't care whether she is the master or not, she is now aware of her status, and she is already homeless. In the past, the second aunt was an aunt, not a mother-in-law. Now that she has become a mother-in-law, who knows if Lu Dao will be as good to herself as before. If you don't treat yourself well, what can you do, your mother doesn't want to see you, which shows how annoying you are.
The simple breakfast is millet porridge and pickles and steamed buns with mixed noodles. After breakfast, leaving Erya to watch the two children, Dong Xiaoman took Zhu'er to the street.
Zhu'er timidly followed Dong Xiaoman's side, and shook her head no matter what Dong Xiaoman said she wanted to buy. Dong Xiaoman didn't pay attention to it, and bought a few pieces of cloth with beautiful colors and a few pieces of cheap but chic jewelry.
Dong Xiaoman took Zhu'er around a few more times and bought some of his daughter's gadgets such as yarn tents. Rouge gouache, and a lot of women's red needlework supplies.
Zhu'er also knew that this was for her own good, but she always felt that she was a child that no one wanted.
Dong Xiaoman understood her discomfort, and said while picking up small snacks such as melons, fruits, cakes, etc.: "I don't want you to let me be my mother now, you just take care of everything as usual." I am actually your mother, but I have not begotten you. If you want to go home, you can do that. I'm not going to say anything about you. ”
Zhu'er shook her head: "I gave it to you as a successor, and I will be a member of your family in the future." I also know that my mother was reluctant to give me food to let me come to you. Later, because he was reluctant to give you back the property, he passed me on to you. Second aunt, I know that you have lost it. ”
Dong Xiaoman turned around and looked at Zhu'er seriously and said, "You can't think like that, you're not worthless." In my eyes, those few acres of land are not a big deal, I know in my heart whether you are doing well or not, and you understand it even more in your heart. You are unhappy at home, I also understand in my heart, although you have given me a little surprise, but I am happy, to have a daughter like you, Huanhuan and Jue'er can have you as a sister, it is the blessing of our second room. ”
Zhu'er's eyes lit up instantly: "Does the second aunt really think so?" Me, am I really that good? ”
Dong Xiaoman smiled and reached out to pin Zhu'er's broken hair behind her ear: "You are a good girl, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity for everyone to discover and know you before." The days to come are so long, I believe in you and believe in me, we will work hard together to get better and better. ”
Zhu'er asked embarrassedly, "But, you don't blame my father." Oh, I mean, don't you blame my uncle and aunt? ”
Dong Xiaoman turned around and pulled Zhu'er to walk home, and said lightly: "I want to thank them for letting me get you." But then again, if they regret it, you can go back with them. As long as you want. ”
Zhu'er didn't answer whether she wanted to, and she didn't think about whether such a thing would happen. It turns out that when Zhu'er married a wishful husband and her husband loved her deeply, her ghostly mother was moved by such thoughts. Did Pearl agree before she got married?
"Erya, what are my mother and Xiaohu studying?" Zhu'er saw that Xiaohu had been here for more than half an hour, and she was there to talk to the second aunt endlessly, and Uncle Xiaogang on the side was still nodding in agreement or shaking his head in denial. ”
"I don't know what to say, it seems that my grandmother did something. I didn't really understand that I had bought a shop or something. Erya shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything.
Zhu'er led Huanhuan to recognize words and glance in the house from time to time, and she became more and more curious about this home.
I can eat at home, but my mother always says that the poor have nothing to eat. But the really poor people in the village who have no food have sold their fields, is it because the second uncle's land can eat at home? The mother also said that the second aunt's mother's family is powerful, and Uncle Xiaogang has made a fortune, so the second aunt must have money in her hands.
She also believed in her heart, and she knew what was on the table when she looked at it. Although it was not as good as what I used to eat at my second aunt's house, it was both cake and meat. Three meals a day, every meal is fine grain buns, dumplings, steamed buns, noodles, hanging food.
Look at the clothes on your body, all of them are good materials that you didn't dare to think of before. Oh my boy, they're all new clothes. Her mother didn't give her clothes, she thought she would wear the second aunt's beautiful clothes. Who would have thought that the two aunts brought the brightly colored and chic fabrics they bought were all for themselves, and the second aunt also made clothes with herself.
Some of the clothes are still thought of by the second aunt, and I don't recognize myself when I wear them on my body. Thinking of Xiaohu's stunned appearance that day, Zhu'er felt that her cheeks were slightly hot.
"Pearl!" It was the second aunt who was calling herself, and Zhu'er quickly got up and agreed: "Hey, mother, are you in trouble?" ”
Dong Xiaoman said with a smile: "It's not early, you go to the kitchen to help Erya cook a few dishes." Her craftsmanship is nowhere near yours! ”
Xiaohu saw that Zhu'er was wearing a crescent white jacket today, and a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with butterflies loomed with her steps.
Her long black hair was slanted with a silver hairpin, and she was holding it so lightly, and her small ears were carrying a pair of small pearl earrings, which gently rippled with her movements.
Maybe it's because I'm much more comfortable now, and my skin is whiter and my face is ruddy. This little girl actually used rouge, this must have been taught by the second aunt, and when she smelled the fragrance on her body, she knew that she must have learned to make sachets.
"You cook me two of my favorite dishes." Xiaohu looked at Zhu'er and blurted out, looking as she should be.
Zhu'er replied stunned: "Zhilu said, what does Uncle Xiaogang want to eat?" ”
Xiao Gang was originally a big heart, but he didn't notice that Xiaohu's face changed when he heard Zhu'er speak. also stupidly said: "Let's fry fat sausages, and then stir-fry the lungs." ”
Xiao Gang likes to eat water, and Zhu'er is also clear, after all, he has known Dong Xiaoman for several years and lived by Dong Xiaoman's side for so long.
Seeing that Zhu'er turned around to leave, Xiaohu shouted, "Wait a minute! ”
Zhu'er, Xiaogang, and Dong Xiaoman all looked at him in surprise, and Xiaohu raised his head confidently and asked, "Do you know what I like to eat?" ”
Zhu'er blinked her big watery eyes and said innocently: "Zhilu Dao, isn't it just hand-rolled noodles?" ”
Xiaohu was angry: "Isn't that rice?" I say dishes, I love to eat! ”
Zhu'er shook her head truthfully: "I don't know what to do!" ”
Xiaohu was suddenly so angry that he didn't want to deal with her at all. Seeing that Xiaohu was angry, Zhu'er didn't make a sound and went to the kitchen without looking surprised.
Erya, who had already heard the movement here, asked curiously, "Xiaohu is angry?" ”
Zhu'er rolled her eyes helplessly, and made a bitter face: "Who knows that he always loves to be angry." One moment happy, the next angry, this person is so strange! ”
