Chapter 112: Don't move
Everyone was stunned.
Didn't Mrs. Xie promise to be good before? also asked Wen to go to see the house, and he didn't say anything about not moving. Now that everyone has almost packed up their things, they can move into a new house tomorrow at the latest, but she suddenly said that she won't move, what does this mean?!
Xie Huizhi whispered a possibility: "Could it be that her old man heard that the new house is close to Brother Jinkun's house, and the eldest uncle and grandfather happen to live in Brother Jinkun's house, so she is not happy, right?" ”
Xie Mulin felt that this guess was quite reliable, so he said: "At this time, I said that I would not move, which is obviously to embarrass everyone." If she doesn't move, can we still move? But let's move to a new house, obviously it's my father's intention, and the place is approved by my uncle and grandfather. The old lady has only been scolded by her uncle and grandfather for two days, and she is about to toss again, is she worried that her uncle and grandfather are busy saving her father and will not have time to scold her again? ”
Wen glared at his daughter, and then said, "I'll ask the old lady." Maybe her old man is just reluctant to go to the West Courtyard. ”
What is she reluctant to do in the West Courtyard? Reluctant to have a room with only a few pieces of simple furniture, or a deserted flower and tree in the yard, mosquitoes, grasshoppers and rats popping up at any time?
Xie Mulin exchanged glances with Xie Jinzhi and Xie Huizhi, Xie Jinzhi's face was expressionless, and Xie Huizhi pursed his lips. Obviously, Mrs. Xie's tricks can't fool a few smart grandchildren.
Wen went to Mrs. Xie's room and softly persuaded her to change her mind and go to the new house with everyone. Wen said a lot of the benefits of the new house, and also vaguely hinted at it, pointing out that the new house is still some distance away from Xie Jinkun's house, Xie Zeshan has to be busy saving Xie Pu, visiting people from all walks of life who have been friends with the Song family, Xie Jinkun has to help his grandfather run errands, and he has to be busy with his own business, under normal circumstances, there will be no free time to visit Mrs. Xie. In the end, Wen's made it clear that he asked Mrs. Xie to change her residence, which was Xie Pu's meaning, and the filial son couldn't bear to see his mother being wronged in life, so once there were conditions, he hoped that she could live more comfortably.
If it were the old days, Wen said these words, and Mrs. Xie might have agreed to move. But today I don't know why, she is very stubborn, saying that if she doesn't move, she just won't move. She categorically denied that she refused to move because she was jealous of Xie Zeshan's ancestors and grandchildren, insisting that she was unwilling to cause trouble to the people of Zongfang, and felt that the Xie family's house would be returned soon, and there was no need for Zongfang to pay for her to rent a house, Yunyun......
If Mrs. Xie's expression wasn't so gritted when she said these words, Wen might have really believed it, thinking that Mrs. Xie had reflected on her mistakes for many years and was really willing to bow to the sect and the second room.
Wen sighed secretly, and wanted to persuade again, but Mrs. Xie was a little impatient: "I've said so many times, don't you understand me?" I said I wouldn't move, I just wouldn't move! If you want to move, just move and leave me here alone. I think the Li family is also very good, there is no shortage of people to serve, and there is Mrs. Li to talk to me when I am free. I have changed to a new place to live, who can chat with me? Wouldn't that suffocate you! ”
Wen had no choice but to withdraw and consult with others.
After hearing this, Mrs. Li was a little panicked: "I ...... I haven't talked to the old lady a few times, have I? Every time I just listened to her. I didn't understand many of the things she said, and occasionally she asked a few questions, and she was impatient to answer. If you just want someone to listen to her, who can't you talk to? Why don't you want to move because of this? I can't afford that! ”
Sister Zhang Qiao also felt that she couldn't take such trouble from her own family. She has been by Wen's side for many years and knows how pitiful Mrs. Xie is. There was the Xie family before, and Sister Zhang Qiao's family didn't need to be responsible for serving Mrs. Xie, just providing room and board, so it didn't matter. But if the Xie family moves away, and only Mrs. Xie is left, who will take care of her? A hired mother-in-law can't do everything? Sister Zhang Qiao has serious work to do, so she doesn't have time to wait for the old woman!
She whispered to Wen: "I'm afraid the old lady still has some concerns about the eldest old lady, right?" The old lady scolded too hard that day, and the old lady was probably afraid of being scolded again, so she would rather stay in our house. ”
Wen sighed: "If the old lady really makes up her mind, we can only stay with her, and we can't really leave her alone with you." "She owes Sister Zhang Qiao's family a favor, and she hasn't repaid it yet, how can she cause chaos to others?
The Wen family went to write a letter to Xie Zeshan, and the rest of the Xie family was disappointed. It's not that there's anything wrong with the Li family, everyone is very grateful to the Li family, but they clearly said that they were going to move, and everything was packed up, and they suddenly said that they wouldn't move, which was really shocking.
Aunt Dajin was very unwilling: "Can't we really move?" She looked at the crowd, and no one could give her an answer. Even if everyone is really annoyed, they all want to ignore Mrs. Xie and move away directly, but after thinking about it, there are still some things that can't be done. They are all decent people who are educated and understand etiquette, not as ...... as Mrs. Xie I can pull down my face.
In the evening, Xie Zeshan came over in person. Xie Jinzhi welcomed him into the West Courtyard, and during the conversation, he was still tactfully persuading him not to be angry, and not to misunderstand, Mrs. Xie actually didn't want to cause trouble to their ancestors and grandchildren, and had no other meaning......
Xie Mulin didn't know if Xie Zeshan had misunderstood, but she felt that her brother's words seemed to add fuel to the fire, because Mrs. Xie had already caused trouble to Xie Zeshan's ancestors and grandchildren, and they were tired enough after running around outside for a day, and they had to face Mrs. Xie's willfulness......
Xie Zeshan walked to the door of Mrs. Xie's room expressionlessly, and didn't go in, just stood in front of the door and said, "The third brother and sister don't want to move, and it's not easy for me to be an uncle." Although Yuhe is filial, it is true filial piety to let the three brothers and sisters live comfortably by themselves. It's just that the third brother and sister want to stay, and the juniors can only stay, continue to squeeze a few people into a room, and do everything yourself, which is too aggrieved. Can't the three siblings think more about their children and grandchildren and move to a new home with everyone? ”
Mrs. Xie's voice came from the house: "I didn't stop them from moving. If they want to move, they will move, and I won't leave anyway. If they insist on forcing me to leave, it will be unfilial! ”
Xie Zeshan nodded and turned around: "Did you hear that?" Your old lady has spoken and told you to move to a new house and leave her here alone. If you refuse to be obedient and have to stay with her, it will be unfilial! She's already talked about this, do you still want to disobey the orders of your elders?! ”
Everyone in the Xie family was dumbfounded. Mrs. Xie didn't mean that, right?
Xie Mulin heard some restless movements from Old Lady Xie in the house, and she must have felt extremely surprised. But Xie Zeshan has already made an order, and by tomorrow at the latest, everyone will move to a new home, and it is not good for everyone to openly disobey. The old lady Xie in the house was restless for a long time, and she didn't dare to say a word to Xie Zeshan, so she asked him to give orders, and left a message saying that Xie Jinkun would bring someone to help them move tomorrow, and Xie Jinzhi sent her away.
The room was quiet, and everyone outside looked at each other.
Aunt Dajin cautiously approached the door and asked, "Old lady, then we will ...... To move, or not to move? ”
Old Mrs. Xie was furious: "Are you deaf?!" I've said it 800 times, telling you to move, don't you understand?! Before he could finish speaking, the sound of a teacup falling to the ground and shattering came from the room.
There was utter silence outside.
