Chapter 9 Complaint (2)
Xia Yue brought a plate of washed cherries, put it on the red lacquered small table next to the bed, and withdrew.
Qingshu couldn't hide his surprise.
Old Mrs. Gu took one and put it in Qingshu's mouth, and said with a smile: "Grandma knows that you like to eat cherries, so she specially brought it back to you from Fucheng." ”
Qingshu was so happy that his eyebrows and eyes were smiling: "It's delicious." ”
Gu Xian said: "Mother, this is too expensive. "Cherries are very expensive because they are not easy to preserve, they cost twenty taels of silver a pound when they first went on the market, and now they have to pay two or three taels of silver a pound, so expensive she is reluctant to buy them to eat.
Old Lady Gu said indifferently, "What kind of money does it cost?" You didn't eat less when you were younger. ”
Gu Xian frowned and asked, "Mother, is this cherry left at home?" ”
Old Lady Gu naturally knew the meaning of Gu Xian's words: "No." I brought two catties with me, and I want them to know that I don't even have to eat the kernels of my red beans. ”
Whenever there is anything good, Gu Heping wants to take it to filial piety to the Yuan family. And Yuan Shanniang, I can't wait to pull them all into my arms.
Gu Xian knew that this was the case, and said with a headache: "Mother, if you let your younger siblings know about this, you will have to break your mouth again." ”
Old Lady Gu's face immediately sank: "That faceless and skinless one, what are you doing with her?" ”
For Yuan Shanniang's daughter-in-law, she looks down on 10,000. It's a pity that Gu Heping listened to the words of her own mother Yuan and wanted to marry her cousin Yuan Shanniang. She didn't agree to this family business, Gu Heping gave her a salary to cook the raw rice into rice, forcing her to agree.
Yuan Shanniang married into the Gu family, and at first she lowered her eyebrows and was respectful to her, but after giving birth to a son, she felt that her waist was stiff and wanted to take charge of the family. It's ridiculous that she wants to be her master of her house before she dies.
Qingshu was very surprised that the relationship between her grandmother and her aunt was so poor.
Gu Xian was very helpless and said: "Mother, no matter how unbearable my brother and sister are, she also gave birth to a son and a daughter to Heping." For the sake of the two children, you also save some face for her. ”
On this topic, the mother and daughter have argued many times, and each time they break up unhappily. Old Mrs. Gu was tired of it and didn't want to talk nonsense anymore: "I'm here to see red beans today, don't talk about these things that make me unhappy." ”
Gu Xian felt that she needed to remind Mrs. Gu, even if she didn't like it, she had to say: "Mother, you will always rely on them to support your old age in the future, and you can turn a blind eye to many things." ”
Old Lady Gu glanced at Gu Xian in disappointment and said, "I'll send you something, and she secretly arranged that you will empty your mother's house, do you think I can rely on them in the future?" ”
She can't even see anything her grandmother gave her mother, and such a person doesn't need to see it to know how to behave. It is better to expect such a person to support his grandmother than to believe that the sow will be on fire. Qing Shuzhen didn't know what her mother thought, but she still helped the man speak.
"Mother, you're too extreme. My brother and sister are not very good, but peace is still very filial to you. ”
Old Lady Gu glanced at Gu Xian and smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes: "Be filial to me?" If she wants to be really filial, I will let Xiao Yuan's make trouble every day. The so-called filial piety is just for others to see, and what he really wants to be filial to is his mother, not me. ”
Suddenly. It turned out that this uncle was not close, so it was no wonder that my grandmother never came to see her after her mother passed away.
Gu Xian felt that her mother was too extreme: "Mother, the second aunt is a peaceful mother in the end." He should have thought about something, and he deserved it. ”
Seeing that Old Lady Gu's face suddenly became ugly, Qing Shu hurriedly hugged her neck and said in a coquettish voice: "Grandma, you don't have to worry, I will provide for you in the future." ”
Old Lady Gu's anger dissipated in an instant, she hugged Qingshu and kissed her heavily, and said with a smile: "It's still my obedient who is the most filial." ”
She has money and a biological daughter, and she doesn't have to worry about being old and no one cares. But Gu Xian didn't say a word of kindness, and always said good things for her adopted son, and let her endure it, which made Mrs. Gu very angry. Jokes, the family's property is in her hands, and she has to swallow her anger to see the faces of her adopted son and the skinless household, isn't she living in vain. The more Yuan Shanniang jumped, the more she grasped the business in her hands and did not let the husband and wife get involved.
Gu Xian was very helpless: "Mother's ......"
Old Lady Gu looked at Gu Xian and said with disappointment: "Gu Xian, it's not as good as red beans." ”
Gu Heping and Yuan Shanniang, she actually didn't care too much. After all, he is only an adopted son, not a biological child. But Gu Xian is her biological daughter, and she doesn't want to go home for a few gossips from outsiders, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, her granddaughter is intimate and filial, which gives her great comfort.
Gu Xian was very helpless, Hongdou was just a child who could say anything, but she couldn't!
Knowing a daughter is like a mother, looking at her appearance, Mrs. Gu knows what she is thinking, but she herself raised Gu Xian so ignorantly. If she wants to blame, she can only blame herself.
Qingshu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Grandma, my mother taught me to read and write." Grandma, can you see how good my handwriting is? ”
Seeing the big characters written twisted and crooked like earthworms, Mrs. Gu said happily: "Write well, my obedient is smart, no matter what you do, you are better than others." ”
It's soothing and warm. My grandmother really thought that her heart hurt like a sharp tip, so she felt that everything she did was good.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu spoiled the red beans unprincipledly, Gu Xian was very worried that she would spoil the red beans.
Touching Qingshu's head, Old Lady Gu asked, "How did Hongdou get sick?" "Just now, as soon as she heard the housekeeper's mother, Mrs. Zhong, say that Hongdou was sick, she hurried over, so why Qingshu was sick she didn't know it was unclear.
Gu Xian said the reason that he had already thought of: "This kid kicked the quilt at night and got cold." ”
Raising children is a very tiring thing, and there are also momentary negligences. Old Mrs. Gu didn't doubt it, but complained: "I said a long time ago that Mother Chen is old and has limited energy, so let Jiao Lian take care of the red beans, but you don't agree." Otherwise, my good will suffer this sin. ”
Jiao Lian is Mrs. Gu's personal maid, because the old lady who is careful and steady likes it. After getting married, he still returned to the old lady's yard as an errand.
Seeing that Old Lady Gu was not suspicious, Gu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, she was relieved too quickly.
Qing Shu deliberately said with a palpitating face: "Grandma, I don't dare to get sick in the future." ”
"Silly boy, no one wants to get sick. But it's not like you don't want to! "She'd rather be sick herself than get sick.
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, grandma, you don't know, when I was sick, my grandmother asked me to dance and sing in front of my bed, and that person still put red paper on my forehead." Then, I was forced to drink a bowl of water with paper ashes in it. Grandma, the water smelled so bad that I didn't drink my grandmother. ”
Old Lady Gu's heart trembled, stared at Gu Xian and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me the truth. ”
Gu Xian didn't care about Old Lady Gu's responsibility, grabbed Qingshu's arm and asked, "Hongdou, why don't you tell your mother about these things?" She only thought that the red bean ate the wrong thing and made her stomach upset, but she didn't expect that it was actually drinking Fu Shui.
Qingshu said innocently: "Mother, you didn't ask me!" It's also because Gu Xian doesn't want to pursue this matter, she feels that if she says it, she won't get justice for her, so she doesn't bother to say it.
Gu Xian was asked.
