Chapter 14: Grandparents

Grandfather stabbed grandmother and asked her to be quiet, someone was watching, but grandmother didn't give up, "What are you stopping me from doing, since she has done this thing, she has to stand up to gossip." ”

A few people watching the excitement outside, laughed, "She is still a grandmother like that, I didn't see what the child froze into, this is too ......."

"That's it, that's it, on this cold day, let the child freeze, and he won't be afraid of frostbite."

Grandmother listened to the fragmented thoughts outside, her face was embarrassed, she got up and walked to the door, and replied with some bitterness, "What do you know, a group of long-tongued women with long hair and short knowledge. ”

With a 'bang', the door was slammed shut, blocking out the sound outside, and the courtyard was much cleaner.

In the house, Han Xiao rubbed the stiff fingers of the eighth sister with her hand, and said distressedly: "Next time, when they come again, you pour them a glass of water, and ignore it." ”

The eighth sister was a little scared, when they were young, their grandmother was a little uncomfortable, so she beat and scolded their sisters, and after a long time, it left a psychological shadow on them.

The eighth sister asked timidly: "Grandmother won't beat me, every time I hit me, it hurts, and I don't dare to run, if I run away, my grandmother will beat me harder if I am caught." ”

Han Xiao sighed in her heart when she heard this, she knew that her grandparents were patriarchal, but she didn't expect it to come to this point.

She pulled the eighth sister into her arms, and her voice was very soft, "It won't be in the future, they are beating you, you just tell your sister, and your sister will help you." ”

Li Cuihua and Xiulian saw that the eighth sister's frozen little face turned pale, and they felt uncomfortable, they knew that Han Xiao's grandparents were here, but they were outsiders, and it was not good to meddle in other people's family affairs, so they could only sit here and be anxious.

After Han Xiao comforted the eighth sister, she went to the main house, and when her grandmother saw her coming out of the house, she put on a score.

As soon as she entered the main house, she heard her grandmother scolding, "Little hoof, you kneel down for me." ”

Han Xiao stood straight, ignoring his grandmother's words, and asked in a calm tone, "Grandfather, grandmother, why don't you come to talk to me, I'll pick you up, it's cold, lest your body and bones can't stand it." ”

Grandmother stood up excitedly, raised her hand and gave Han Xiao a slap, "Curse me to death, you want to be beautiful." ”

In the past few days, his cheeks have been frostbitten, and the slap has been even more serious, and half of Han Xiao's face is swollen, looking a little scary.

She rubbed her face and continued unconcernedly: "It is naturally good that grandparents can live a long life. ”

When her grandmother heard this, she wanted to beat her, but her grandfather grabbed her, "What are you doing beating her, have you forgotten what we are doing today?" ”

Grandmother sat down angrily and said confidently: "Bring me your money, I raised you so big, and now that you have money, you should also honor and honor me." ”

Han Xiao understood that they came today to ask for money, and she also thought that their attitude towards the Han sisters would be better, and she would more or less give them some, and today she directly rectified this play, and she directly stopped thinking about it.

She didn't think that what she did would not be discovered, she had been doing it with great fanfare for so many days, just to let the people in the village know that their Han family was also promising.

She smiled and said with a little mockery: "Grandmother has always been partial, she shushes her cousin and asks for warmth, cares for her, and doesn't care about the eight of us sisters, and now she comes to ask me for money when she hears a little rumor, doesn't grandmother do this to chill our sisters' hearts?" ”

Han Xiao remembered what she had seen in the movie, and continued: "When I was a child, my grandmother bought red date cakes and only gave them to my cousin to eat, and my sisters wanted to eat them, but my grandmother drove them out directly, and only allowed them to come back after my cousin finished eating." ”

Grandmother couldn't tolerate others saying that she wasn't at all, and retorted: "What do you know at that time, Buge and Buzhi are two, and their health has not been good since they were young, I give them something good to eat, let them make up for their bodies, am I wrong?" ”

Grandfather also began to help grandmother and said: "You were still young at that time, you don't understand the situation, and you don't have any resentment, if it weren't for the hard work of the two of us to pull you up, you eight sisters would have survived to this day?" ”

Han Xiao had never seen such grandparents, and said in his heart that it was better to clear the boundaries as soon as possible, "Grandfather and grandmother, isn't it just money, I will give it to you as much as you want, but you have to promise not to ask about our family's affairs in the future." ”

When they heard that they had money, they didn't care about Han Xiao's conditions, and they showed the first smiling face of the Han family, "Okay, okay, this is my good granddaughter." ”

Grandmother stood up and wanted to hold Han Xiao's hand, but she was avoided, she was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "We don't want more, you take 200 out, I plan to give your two cousins 100 each." ”

Han Xiao frowned, two hundred was too much, and she couldn't take out so much now, "Grandmother, let me tell you the truth, the family's money has been sent to Yue Yang, and I can't take out so much, grandmother, you see if it will take a few days." ”

Seeing her say this, grandmother's face sank: "You gave that useless thing? If you want to have no ability, you have no money, you have been kicked in the head by a donkey? ”

Han Xiao sighed and explained: "He is the only person in the family who can go out and break in, I don't support him, who supports him." ”

Grandmother didn't want to say anything more, so she gave Han Xiao four months, asked her to scrape together two hundred yuan, and then went back happily while it was still early.

After settling with her grandparents, Han Xiao went back to her room and applied cold water to her face, feeling that her face was much more comfortable, so she hurriedly went to the back room to see the situation of the eighth sister.

After entering the house, Li Cuihua asked with concern: "How is it, they didn't embarrass you." ”

Han Xiao's expression was as usual, "Aunt Cuihua, don't worry, they came here to ask me for something." ”

Li Cuihua still found Han Xiao's abnormality in the end, her cheeks were red and swollen with bloodshots, she didn't have to think about it to know that it was Han Xiao's grandparents who beat her, which was too ruthless, she reached out and touched it gently, Han Xiao dodged back, her eyes dodged, and she obviously didn't want to say more.

Han Xiao deliberately distracted Li Cuihua's attention, "Aunt Cuihua, I'll go make a bowl of ginger soup for the eighth sister first, and you can help me watch her a little." ”

Cooking four bowls of ginger soup, one bowl per person, dispelled the chill in the body, and at the same time warmed this small world.

When the second sister came back from the tailor shop, she heard the eighth sister say that her grandparents came to the Han family, and she knew that her grandparents didn't like their sisters, so she usually tried to hide as much as possible, and she couldn't see them.

When she knew that the eldest sister was also there, she hurriedly went to find the eldest sister, and when she went out of the room, she stumbled.

At this time, Han Xiao was applying cold water to his face.

The second sister pulled Han Xiao's hand down and looked at it carefully, in addition to frostbite, there were obvious finger prints, and it could be seen how much effort it took to beat Han Xiao, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Han Xiao didn't explain, just perfunctorily said that she knocked it herself, the second sister secretly looked at it, she didn't believe it, Han Xiao didn't say anything, and finally the second sister lowered her head in disappointment and walked out.
