Chapter 217
The family was at peace, and Mrs. Liu asked the fat aunt to go to the West Cross Courtyard to release Liu Shuyan, who was detained by herself.
Liu Shuyan came in a hurry, probably because he was worried about his mother and sister-in-law, so he trotted all the way. When I entered the door, I was already out of breath, my face was pale, and I was obviously uncomfortable.
"Mother, big brother...... Sister-in-law ......" Liu Shuyan entered the door and saw that his eldest brother was fighting with his sister-in-law, and the flower hall did not have those difficult scenes of uncles and aunts frowning, so he put a heart into his stomach.
Liu Shulai saw that his second brother's face was a little bad, and he was not in the mood to play. He naturally went over to help his second brother, and said with a worried expression: "But it's uncomfortable again?" Why is your face so bad? ”
Liu Shuyan smiled weakly, "It's not uncomfortable." After a pause, as if he was afraid that his eldest brother would not believe it, he said, "At that time, I heard a few aunts coming, and I was worried that they would say something unpleasant, so I was a little anxious." ”
Liu Shulai heard the words and patted his head, "I'm afraid that your brain is stupid to read, just your small body, even if you come over, it's not enough to greet those old ladies!" ”
probably said what Liu Shuyan was thinking, which made Liu Shuyan, who was already a little guilty, feel more and more uncomfortable. He also knows that his poor body can only be a drag on the family, and he can't help the family with a half-nod of his head.
Thinking of this, Liu Shuyan's face couldn't help but be a little depressed.
It was Lin Baoru who dragged the heartless Liu Shulai from behind, turned to look at Liu Shuyan and said: "You are the second brother like you, the second brother is a scholar, as long as he can pass the test, he will be able to rely on our family in the future." ”
Saying that, she also looked at Liu Shuyan with a smile, and said sincerely: "Second brother, sister-in-law has never gone to school, but I have also heard that everything is inferior, only reading is high." Your eldest brother doesn't have that kind of heart, so he can't be counted on to study and take a fame test. Now, our Liu family can only count on you! ”
Liu Shuyan hesitated for a moment, and smiled still depressed, "Sister-in-law, I remember." ”
Lin Baoru was afraid that he would drill the tip of the horns, and said with a smile: "Don't think that your sister-in-law is comforting you, let me tell you, if you are in our village, now I am afraid that everyone in the village will compete for the fragrant gluttony......"
Liu Shuyan looked surprised, and then said in disbelief: "I'm sick? ”
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Liu, who was already seated, couldn't help but redden.
Even Liu Shulai was uncomfortable. When he went back to Taoxi Village for the first time to trouble Lin Youzhi before, wasn't it because that person made his second brother, who was already bad, ugly?
Later, when he came back, he heard from the housekeeper that his second brother had made an uncomfortable scene, which made him more and more annoyed with Lin Youzhi.
Later, with Lin Baoru's matter, the new hatred and the old hatred, he even looked down on the Lin family's big house.
Lin Baoru raised her eyebrows, obviously she didn't expect Liu Shuyan to evaluate herself like this.
She sighed a little in her heart, this is just a thin body, but she still has a family to protect and cherish her. If it falls on the experience of her previous life, even if she is sick and injured, she can only carry it by herself, wouldn't it be decadent to die?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little more upright, and said very disapprovingly: "Second brother, you have read books, you should know the truth of not being presumptuous." I don't talk about the side, I just say that there are more than one or two people in the world who are worse than you, is it possible that everyone wants to be like you and just struggle with what is sick and not sick for a few coughs? ”
"Sun Bin was persecuted and tortured, physically disabled, and he was still able to write the world-famous art of war, and Sima Qian was tortured by the palace and wrote historical records. These people, which one is not miserable! If we all indulge in grief every day, can we still do it? ”
She frowned, and said it solemnly, even with a little reproach.
"I won't talk about the big truth, just say that every time you say this, have you ever thought about your mother's mood? You think it's a casual thing, but that word falls on the mother's heart, how sad and self-blaming she should be! ”
To be honest, Lin Baoru doesn't have much to do with Liu Shuyan, after all, this little uncle is reading in the courtyard except for going to school. Some time ago, she couldn't catch up with the family to eat together when she went out early and returned late, so there were few times to meet.
But now that she is married, she can't watch him like this every day. It's just that he hasn't encountered it before, but now that he has encountered it, Lin Baoru can't see him feel sorry for himself.
For Lin Baoru, no matter how difficult the days are, she can survive. Even if it's her, how can she never encounter a difficult time? Especially in her previous life, after the tragic days of lack of family affection for a long time, she especially longed for a family reunion and harmonious life.
In front of Taoxi Village, guarding the Wang family and Baoru, even if she was poor and tired, she was happy.
Now, married to the Liu family, she also wants to be happy.
Liu Shulai and Mrs. Liu on the side were a little worried when they saw that she was a little harsh, lest her words hurt Liu Shuyan again.
Liu Shulai pulled the sleeve of his own black heart lotus, and coughed dryly: "Okay, okay, what are you going to do with this." ”
However, Liu Shuyan lowered his head and said with a look of shame: "What my sister-in-law said is that I won't do this in the future." ”
Lin Baoru saw that he didn't drill the tip of the horns again, so he breathed a sigh of relief. This relief, she remembered that she said this in front of her mother-in-law, and it was really a big deal.
So, she glanced at her mother-in-law with some embarrassment, and then slowly walked up to Liu Shulai and muttered, "Did I just ...... Isn't that also high-sounding? ”
After all, not everyone is happy to hear the truth. And, even if she did, it didn't seem to be her turn.
Before Liu Shulai could speak, he heard Liu Shuyan speak again. hacker
He shook his hand, and although his face was still pale, it did not have the bleak appearance he had before.
"What my sister-in-law said is reasonable, I was narrow-minded in the past."
In this way, Mrs. Liu, who originally complained that Lin Baoru had no taboo to speak today, was not good at saying anything.
It's just that after eating, she still found an opportunity to leave Lin Baoru to speak after leaving her two sons.
said that it was between the two of them for a while, but in fact, wasn't she worried that Lin Baoru would poke her youngest son's heart again in the future?
Since she had just eaten at the dinner table, she saw her mother-in-law looking at herself without saying anything, and Lin Baoru guessed her thoughts. So right now, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Mother, I know that what I said to my second brother just now is a little inappropriate. But since I married into our family, I can't see that my second brother is always depressed because of his bad bones. ”
"I don't know how educated my second brother is, but I think he must be better than my cousin who has lost his duty and integrity. Think about it, my cousin can be rare by a village before his temperament is exposed, and a character like the second brother is not the best in our eyes? ”
I have to say that Lin Baoru's words really entered Mrs. Liu's heart.
No matter how bad his son's health is, even many people outside say that he is blessed, saying that he may collapse one day. But in the heart of the mother, not to mention that the body is just thin, even if it is paralyzed, it is all the flesh of the heart, and it is all good.
What's more, Mrs. Liu is not worried about the loss of her youngest son from time to time.
It's just that Liu Shuyan has always been filial and sensible, and he has always been safe and stable in front of his mother. So sometimes I know that he is discouraged, but Mrs. Liu doesn't know where to persuade if she wants to.
In addition, there is Liu Shulai, who is out of tune, firmly occupying everyone's attention and jokes, so many times it is Liu Shuyan who speaks for his eldest brother again, and then persuades his mother to relax.
Mrs. Liu is a protector, but now Lin Baoru is also her own family, even if she protects her, she has to be reasonable.
She sighed and said slowly: "Mother knows that you are kind, but your words are sensitive, if you talk about him in the future, you always have to slow down......
Lin Baoru felt a little helpless in her heart, raising a boy like this as a fragile doll, it is strange that his character can be sunny and strong.
To be honest, in the previous life, how many teenagers with serious illnesses were able to fight for a foothold in society. Although many of them will be cared for because of the kindness of society, most of them are still self-reliant.
After all, not everyone pays close attention to their mood.
And Liu Shuyan is like this, to be honest, in Lin Baoru's opinion, he is a little weaker and needs to be nourished all year round. But Rao is like this, and he will not be locked up at home every day, pampered and cared for his growth.
He is now a teenager, and he can't be cared for in his twenties and thirties.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Mother, I understand that you are worried, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
There are some things that she hasn't thought about yet, not to mention that it concerns Liu Shuyan, even if she has ideas, I'm afraid that she won't be able to reverse her mother-in-law's stubborn thoughts for more than ten years.
Therefore, even if she had all kinds of thoughts in her heart, now she just quietly responded to her mother-in-law's advice.
Even if she thinks that Liu Shuyan's temperament is not weak, she can't listen to blame.
The two talked for a while, and Lin Baoru went back to her own courtyard.
She has already figured out the things in the shop in front of her, but she doesn't have to go out early and return late every day like she did a few days ago.
In addition, the most troublesome shop in the past two days was also given to the Xiao family, and it has been a little idle in the past two days.
Xu hadn't been home for many days, but now that she was free, she naturally wanted to go back and have a look.
After she returned to the house, she found that Liu Shulai, who had gotten up early and ran out to play, had not run out again. At this moment, his eldest young master was sitting crookedly on the circle chair, with a pestle in one hand and a broken silver horn on the table with the other.
Lin Baoru was curious: "Where did you get such a broken silver?" ”
In the past, whether he went to the casino, he went out to eat and drink, and he used not only silver tickets but silver ingots. At least, it has to be five taels of silver to lay the foundation.
It's rare to see such a handful of broken silver like this.
Liu Shulai scratched his head and grinned: "After a while, it will be a temple fair, and there are a lot of people on the street who are under the guise of throwing balls and pitching pots, and they are abducting and cheating......
After a pause, he tilted his head and explained: "I used to play in the past, but this broken silver and copper plate can't get into my eyes, so I haven't taken it back." ”
Not to mention taking it back, I'm afraid that if the left hand wins, the right hand will be sent away. Anyway, there are a lot of little beggars on the street, and there are a lot of orphaned old people, just buy some steamed bread and food for people to share.
