Although Mrs. Xie had a ghostly expression on her face, Xie Mulin still said happily that she was happy to go to Mrs. Xie's knees to do her filial piety.

She also said to Mrs. Xie: "When I lived in the old mansion before, didn't I get along well with you? During those days, I took care of your illness and took care of your diet and daily life, and your condition improved significantly. After I left, you didn't eat well or sleep well, and your condition worsened. It can be seen that you can't leave my care, and I will come back to serve you, which is filial piety to you! ”

Mrs. Xie had an urge to vomit, and took a bite of her granddaughter: "You actually said such a thing?" How thick is the skin?! Once upon a time, though you were stupid and stupid, like a wooden man, you were so honest. Why is it that the longer it grows, the more shameless it becomes?! ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "Isn't this the experience of seeing my father?" Daddy was an honest official, but as a result, he was framed as a soft persimmon; The Cao family is shameless and harmful, even if someone dies in the family, there is a large amount of money in hand, and it will be a benefit. So, I found that you can't be too honest, and you can't be too thin-skinned. is too simple and kind, only bullied. ”

After covering himself up, Xie Mulin continued to tease Mrs. Xie: "But don't worry, old lady, I only think like this when I am facing outsiders." For your old man, I am still filial. You see I've been busy with so much work and said so much, isn't it for your health? Mr. Du can testify for me, I will let you eat lightly and be calm, all for your sake. Even if you sue the clan, I will take advantage of it.

"Don't worry, I came here today for Mr. Du's follow-up consultation, and now that I know the results of the follow-up, I naturally have to go home to report to my mother and brothers, and also report to the elders of the sect and the second room, please rest assured that you are sick and handed over to me, a junior, to take care of." When they knew that you didn't follow the doctor's instructions these days, greedy for fish and meat, wantonly insulted others, and misunderstood that you were seriously ill and difficult to treat, you cried a handful of snot and tears in front of Old Man Du...... I won't feel like there's anything wrong with what I'm doing anymore! ”

Mrs. Xie thumped her chest a few times, because she felt that if she didn't do this, she would be suffocated to death.

After taking a breath, Mrs. Xie decided not to play tricks with Xie Mulin, and only made one request: "Call your mother to serve me, and you won't show up!" ”

Xie Mulin still used his previous words to prevaricate her: "No, my mother has a lot of things to do at home." Our family has just returned to Xiejiajiao, the house is brand new, the people are not familiar with it, the brothers still have to go to school, the clansmen, relatives and friends who have not seen each other for many years have to visit one by one, and the fields and industries have to be inquired about. The elders of the clan also admonished my mother that she had to be filial in front of her grandmother. Originally, old lady, if you were willing to make public the news of your return, my mother would come to serve the sick, but no one would criticize it. But you don't allow us to spread the news, so where is my mother reason to leave so many people and things behind and leave home to wait for you in the old mansion? ”

Old Mrs. Xie was choked again, a little annoyed and angry: "Anyway, I don't want you to come!" If you come, my life will be shortened by two years. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and said, "You said the opposite. When I was here, you took medicine, ate, and slept, and nothing went wrong, and your condition got better very quickly. I'm gone, and your illness is wrong. It can be seen that my ability to serve the sick is even better than my mother. You old man don't have to be sympathetic to your granddaughter, give me this opportunity to do my filial piety in front of you! ”

Old Mrs. Xie showed a look of grief and indignation: "You are not my granddaughter!" You're my niece! I don't need you to be filial! ”

Xie Mulin grinned: "Look at what you said, if I am not your granddaughter, then my mother is not your daughter-in-law." She has her own mother-in-law, what do you have to ask her to wait for you? ”

Old Mrs. Xie was speechless, or maybe she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and with a wave of her sleeves, she covered her face with a snap, and her old man turned her back to Xie Mulin, ignoring people.

Xie Mulin didn't care, and still respectfully finished the etiquette of retirement before exiting the house.

Pearl quietly chased after her, and said to Xie Mulin in a low voice: "Second girl, I'm really sorry. Neither Mother He nor I could stop the old lady......"

Xie Mulin waved his hand: "I know her temper, how can I blame you?" I know it's not easy for you, but you've done your best. The old lady is making a fuss, and even my father and mother can't do anything about her, let alone you and Mother He? Don't take it to heart, just keep a good look after her. By the way, my mother asked me to send you something, including new covers, clothes, shoes, socks, jewelry, and money. You and Mother He have worked hard these days, so you will get your things back in a while and tidy them up. ”

Pearl showed gratitude on her face and saluted her: "The slave and mother He thank Mrs. Xie and the girl for reward." ”

After that, the pearl stopped talking. Xie Mulin said: "If you have something to say, you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Pearl smiled bitterly: "When the old lady was angry before, she scolded me and Mother He very ugly. I can hear that if it weren't for the fact that there was no more reliable person around her old man, maybe she would have kicked us out......" In fact, Pearl and Mrs. He both knew in their hearts that when they chose to become the loyal maids of Xie Pu and Wen's couple, it would mean that they would disobey Old Lady Xie's orders and be disliked by their masters, which was a matter of time. After the hardships of going south, they no longer insisted on staying by Mrs. Xie's side, so as not to be dragged to death by this confused master one day. But after leaving, where do they go?

Xie Mulin understood the meaning of Pearl's words: "You and Mother He are both old people who have been waiting by the old lady's side for many years, if you go out one day, the family will naturally not treat them badly." My mother has long said that if you want to provide for the two mothers of He and Jiang, it is just your sister's future, and you have to decide for yourself. ”

Pearl blushed, knowing that Xie Mulin was saying that she would be able to marry independently in the future, so she curtched, thanked the master's family for her kindness, and turned around and went back to the house.

Xie Mulin explained the people in the old mansion, then took the cuijiao out again and got on the boat and returned to Xiejiajiao.

She wanted to report to Wen the latest condition of the old lady, explain her intention to stay in the old mansion to serve the sick, and also talk about the cement. If Lao Jiatou's nephew who works in the brick kiln in Xie Jiajiao is really capable, she has to talk to her family before deciding whether to dig people up.

When I returned to Xie Jiajiao, the sun was already in the west. Xie Mulin caught a glimpse that the two elder brothers had not yet returned, but the two younger brothers went to the house of their classmates after school, so they went to see their mother Wen first.

Wen looked a little tired, sat at the table and closed his eyes to recuperate, heard the movement, opened his eyes and looked over, and smiled: "Why did you come back so early?" I thought you were going to spend the night there, and I was thinking about meeting you at the old mansion tonight. ”

Xie Mulin glanced at her a few times and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" Did the elders of the clan encounter any difficulties today? ”
