Chapter 20: Seems to be in trouble
Chunxin held the steamed bun, blinked her eyes wide, and suddenly felt a burst of sadness for some reason.
Although she was beaten and punished, she felt that such a mother was the real mother, the one who ...... Hehe, I'm afraid that one wouldn't even bother to hit her, and he wouldn't beat her, because that would ruin the image of grace.
"Why are you crying?" Seeing his daughter's eyes moistened, Liu was surprised, and hurriedly pulled Chunxin over to check up and down, "Did you suffer a loss?" Did the dead woman beat you? Where does it hurt? On the body or on the legs? You're talking! β
Chunxin took Liu's hand and held it tightly, and raised a smile: "It's distressing." β
Liu didn't understand, and was still checking whether Chunxin had any wounds on her body, until Chunxin repeated a sentence again, she didn't hear clearly, and suddenly sank her face and poked a finger at her head: "You little girl, don't be coquettish with me, do it again in the future, see how I clean you up!" β

"Da Zhuang scolded you before, and it was nothing for me to slap him, after all, everyone on the left and right listened to it, and if you scold that kind of thing, it will be light to beat him." Speaking of Da Zhuang's little rabbit cub, Liu couldn't help gritting his teeth, and after a while he continued, "It's nothing for you to mess with your third grandfather, after all, you are reasonable, although it is a little sour, but at most, I was scolded for a sentence or two of discipline without a way, but today ...... Do you know what your third aunt meant when she came to mention the phrase 'the clan will not care'? β
Chunxin really doesn't know, although she knows a little from the novels she has read that the power of the clan in ancient times is very great, and sometimes it can even directly determine the life and death of people without going through the government, but what is in the clan and what is not in the clan, she really doesn't understand.
"Our Chun family is not a famous family, and the best thing in the past few hundred years is that it has only been out of a county, and I don't know how many lives I have been poor." Speaking of this, Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was all the fault of poverty, hugged her daughter, she said carefully, "In your grandfather's generation, your grandfather is the eldest brother, and there are four brothers and two sisters below. It's also rare, over the years, your grandfather is the most promising, and he has become a doctor, but he has really dealt with nobles in Beijing. β
Dare to love that old man with a straight face all day long. Chunxin's eyes widened, wearing ancient times, if she hadn't dealt with the emperor's relatives, would she seem too derelict in her duties? But...... A companion is like a tiger, this is not a novel, and it doesn't look like the standard life of a Mary Sue heroine during this time, if something goes wrong, she will have to die.
Liu didn't know what Chunxin was pondering in his head, and still kept talking: "Now that your grandfather is old and has returned to his hometown, he has opened a shop in our county. Besides, for the sake of having this shop, I don't know how many relatives have been here to fight the autumn breeze, and your grandfather can't pull his face to drive people away, so he has to help. If it weren't for your father's absence, it wouldn't be ...... Forget it, don't talk about that. When your father didn't have it, you were just one year old, but fortunately, you were already twelve years old at that time, and with your grandfather and your brother here, even if someone in the clan was red, it wouldn't be good. β
"But now that grandpa is old and my brother hasn't come home, they want to do it, right?"
"Yes, when people's hearts are not filled, and their hearts have a thought......"
Without waiting for Liu to say it, Chunxin preemptively said: "They must be thinking, they are all relatives, why do you have to eat and clothe ourselves, we have to suffer hardships, or else, they must think that you are richer than us anyway, and it is not a big deal to share it with us, isn't it?" β
This girl is getting smarter and smarter, Liu glanced at Chunxin with relief, nodded and said: "They look at our orphans and widows, in the future, if your grandfather has a mistake, I don't know who this property will fall into." For this reason, since two or three years after your brother left, someone has come to persuade your grandfather to have a son and grandson, and it was only hinted at before, but later it was sent plainly. Speaking of this, Liu smiled, "Your grandfather has been in Beijing for decades, can he still see through their careful thoughts?" Don't talk about your grandfather, even if I am a woman, I can see it clearly if I don't deal with those nobles on weekdays, so with their good words, your grandfather still won't let go. β
Fortunately, the old man was shrewd and refused to accept the filial son and grandson who were sent to the door for nothing. Chunxin breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing again, her grandfather had seen Gong Dou seriously, as long as he didn't get lost, no one could fool him.
"Okay, having said so much, now let's talk about the things in the clan, our family has always been a long house, your grandfather, your great-grandfather are the eldest brothers, and the current patriarch is your second grandfather, that is, your grandfather's younger brother......"
"Wait, wait......" Chunxin was confused by this series of relationships, and hurriedly interrupted Liu's words and asked, "My grandfather is the elder brother, and he is also the most haode one in these years, isn't the weishenme patriarch a grandfather?" β
When asked this question, Liu's expression froze for a moment, and then he said a fact that shocked Chunxin.
The grandfather who dared to love her was not born to her grandfather, but adopted, no wonder the patriarch couldn't do it to his grandfather. Chunxin looked at the sky speechlessly, but he didn't expect to encounter such a bloody thing.
"Alright, don't interrupt again, listen to me. Although your grandfather refuses to let go, after all, your father is gone, and your brother has never been whereabouts, if no one mentions it, it will be fine, but if someone repeatedly provokes, it is difficult to guarantee that the clan will not insist on pointing out a grandson to your grandfather, and when the time comes, everything will be a foregone conclusion. β
Isn't it, the clan is too lenient, even this? Chunxin looked at Liu in disbelief, and forgot to nibble on the steamed bun in his hand.
Seeing Chunxin's incomprehension, Liu smiled bitterly: "A sentence of 'incense is important' is enough, besides, although our family's surname is Chun, there is no blood of the Chun family in our bones, and they can't wait to stuff the Chun family into it." If it weren't for the fact that your grandfather had been a doctor all these years, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to wait, and now your third grandfather's family is the most enthusiastic - just count his family's population and live a tight life, and driving him away before was just a lip service, I took a broom but didn't really do it, but you are making such a fuss today, how can your third aunt swallow this breath? That mother-in-law is unreasonable and has to stir up three points, and now she is going back with that body, and I don't know how to arrange us with others. β
"I made it, and it has nothing to do with you, it's a big deal that I'm ignorant and misbehaving."
"If only it were that simple!" Liu glared at Chunxin angrily, "No matter how much trouble I made before, there was still a limit, no matter how annoyed they were, they could only say that I was spicy and didn't let people." But your third aunt is used to adding oil and vinegar, and she is the most face-conscious, so you are at the mercy of her, aren't you sending back the ready-made evidence? What if she says that she moved your second grandfather, blames everything on me, and wants to leave me from the Chun family? It doesn't matter if I'm suspended, but you are a member of the Chun family, and you are designated to stay in the Chun family, and when they come again, can you handle it yourself? Besides, if there is no me, there will be only you and your grandfather at home, and your grandfather is old again, and they directly said that they would send a child to serve your grandfather? β
Therefore, no matter whether her son will come back or not, she insists that her son will come back, even if it is not for her son, she must keep this family and this shop for her daughter, otherwise, her daughter will have no place in the future.
Chun Xin was dumbfounded when she heard it, only knowing that her prank this time seemed to be overdone, the people in the clan before were all talking, and even if they did, they would be punished by taking advantage of the reason, and she poured this bucket of fertilizer, which was regarded as sending the evidence directly to the door.
