"Lao Tzu doesn't tell you, you are shallow-eyed, you really raised you white-eyed wolves for nothing."

After Old Man Ran finished speaking, he turned around and left.

……

After dinner, I cleaned up the housework and went back to the room, and put the two little ones to sleep first.

Ran Wenyue whispered to her mother: "Mother, I want to ask you something." Do you think my dad is like a family portrait? ”

Chu Xiumei touched her head, and said with a loving smile: "If you don't go to bed early every day, what are you thinking about in this head?" ”

Seeing Chu Xiumei like this, Ran Wenyue suddenly looked at her very seriously.

"Mother, I'm serious."

Looking at Ran Wenyue, who was suddenly serious, Chu Xiumei unconsciously became serious. "What do you want to say?"

"I'm going to tell you a secret, don't be too surprised. You need to be mentally prepared first. ”

Chu Xiumei looked at her lightly, "Say it, I can stand it." ”

"My dad wasn't born in the family, he picked it up! I heard it with my own ears. ”

After Ran Wenyue finished speaking, she stared straight at Chu Xiumei.

"What!"

Chu Xiumei still couldn't hold back her surprise, and was covered by Ran Wenyue in time. "Mother, you be quiet."

"Who did you listen to?" Chu Xiumei took a deep breath, her heart still beating non-stop, like a deer crashing.

"It's what they heard when they changed my clothes on the day of Chongxi, although my body couldn't move, but I was awake, and I heard my second aunt and grandmother talking about it there. Mother, do you remember when I was a child, I knocked over one of my grandmother's boxes and was beaten by her? The jade pendant in the box was the one he brought with his father when he picked it up. ”

“……”

"I want to get Daddy's stuff back. Mother, let's find a way to split up. Spring is coming soon, and we have enough money to survive during this time. ”

Chu Xiumei frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "I have to think about this matter again." ”

"Mother, don't think about it! Let's split up! Look at what kind of life we're having in this home. Since I was a child, I didn't have enough to eat, and I had to be beaten and scolded twice for three days. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to divide us, and I will definitely support you and my brothers. ”

Chu Xiumei listened silently, but began to think about how to separate the family.

Seeing Chu Xiumei's somewhat heart-moved look, Ran Wenyue said directly: "Mother, don't think so much. I have my own way, you have to trust me! Mother, you can go and invite your grandmother and them over tomorrow. ”

"You're still young, and my mother doesn't want you to think about it so much. I'll think of a way, let's go to sleep first! Chu Xiumei touched her head lovingly, and blew out the candle after speaking.

Ran Wenyue tossed and turned next to her two younger brothers.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Go to sleep! She woke up the two children, rubbing their eyes in a daze.

"It's okay, let's sleep!" After Ran Wenyue finished speaking, she calmed down, gently patted her two younger brothers, and coaxed them to sleep, and soon she herself fell asleep.

Chu Xiumei lay on the side, quietly thinking about things.

The night was silent, the moon was cloudy, and a few stars danced in the distance, and for a while, the stars disappeared into the night sky like thick ink.

Half a night passed, Chu Xiumei looked at the children who were asleep, and her eyes flashed with strong maternal love. Then he sat quietly with his cheeks on his back, but his eyes stared into the distance through the window, and the figure of Ran Qingshan swirled in his mind. "Where are you?"

Thinking quietly like this, time passed minute by minute, and one thought after another kept flashing in her mind, until the sky was white, and then, Chu Xiumei finally seemed to have thought of something, her eyes looked firmly into the distance, and suddenly there was a rooster crowing outside the window, and Chu Xiumei closed her eyes and lay down.

Not long after Chu Xiumei fell asleep, it was dawn, Ran Wenyue woke up, and looked at Chu Xiumei, who had some dark circles under her eyes, and knew that she hadn't slept well, she got up lightly, stepped over Chu Xiumei's legs, and went out of the house.

I just got outside the house.

Shen Cuihua opened the door and walked out, wearing a silver hairpin carved with auspicious clouds on her head, a dark blue muslin dress, and even a thin silver bracelet on her wrist. Before Ran Wenyue could speak, Shen Cuihua said directly. "Eh, you just came out, and I won't have to call someone, so you can cook today."

Ran Wenyue didn't move, just looked at her.

Looking at the indifferent Ran Wenyue, Shen Cuihua pulled her face, like calling a maid. "I told you to cook, are you deaf? Don't go yet. ”

After Ran Wenyue looked at her from head to toe, she said unhurriedly: "Second aunt is not good at a young age, and her memory is so poor. Today, you should cook in the second room, not us. ”

Since knowing that Ran Wenyue and they are not the species of the old Ran family, Shen Cuihua's attitude towards their family has become more and more bad, and now when she heard Ran Wenyue say this, where did she care so much, she directly opened her mouth and scolded. "You white-eyed wolf, you lose money, little. How dare you be so disrespectful! If the Ran family hadn't adopted your father, you wouldn't know whose seed it was? Your father is a wild seed, and you are also a wild seed. ”
