Chapter 21: The Promise
After a moment, Li Shi walked in with a smile, trembling, and said cautiously, "Mother, only four eggs were laid today." ”
Li glanced at Zhou's face, and saw that Zhou's expression was normal, and he took the egg and put it in the basket of the kang head.
A touch of joy crossed the corner of Li's eyes, and it seemed that she had passed this level.
Either Song Qingyuan deceived her, and Zhou didn't touch the chicken butt at all, or Zhou touched one less, Li thought secretly.
Letting go of the big stone in his heart, Li came to the spirit.
Staring at the vegetables that only left the bottom of the pot, "This is all there is to do for this moment." ”
"I'm hungry, mother, my nest." Li stretched out his hand to Zhou.
"Humph!" Zhou shook his hand and handed a nest head in the basin to Li, "I know how to eat every day, and the hungry ghost is reincarnated." ”
Li smiled as if he couldn't hear it, stood on the edge of the table and picked up the chopsticks, took a large mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, took a bite of the nest, and then went to the second bite, three mouthfuls and four mouthfuls, and the vegetables in the pot bottomed out.
"You can't sit down and eat! There are no rules, our Song family has been moldy for eight lifetimes before marrying such a skinless and faceless glutton. Zhou was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks and stopped eating.
When Li saw that Zhou was not eating, his eyes turned and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't eat anymore from the third brother and sister?" ”
Hearing Li's words, Ye's hand in the vegetable retracted again.
Li took the opportunity to move the basin from the lady's side to him, "Then I'll eat it all!" Then he poured it into his bowl.
"Second aunt, why are you like this, we haven't finished eating yet." Song Qingmo pulled her little face and looked at Li angrily.
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier." Li pretended to be surprised, "Now, here you go, there's still a little bit here." ”
"There's only soup left here, you pour all the dishes into your bowl, what else are we going to eat......" Song Qingmo shouted.
"Mo'er, don't talk about it......" Ye Shi pulled Song Qingmo and whispered.
"Why don't you say it, do you see if she still looks like an elder, so many people, she is embarrassed to ......" Song Qingmo was about to continue, but Song Qingrong covered her mouth, and the two of them pulled Song Qingmo out one left and one right.
"I'm done eating...... Saburo put down his chopsticks and followed.
............
"Third aunt, my mother...... That one...... I'm sorry. San Lang caught up with the three mothers and daughters of the Ye family, and lowered his head in shame.
"It's okay, it's Mo'er's ...... temper," Ye said.
"It's ...... her"
"Mo'er!" Ye interrupted her. He turned his head and muttered to San Lang, "It's okay, I'll persuade Mo'er well." ”
"I'm sorry...... Saburo 's eyes were red, he bit the corners of his lips tightly, and clenched his fists tightly.
He doesn't know what to say except that he can't help it, that's his mother, what can he do.
Ye shook his head and said it was okay. pulled Song Qingmo back to the third room.
"Mo'er, don't be like your second aunt in the future." Ye Shi looked at Song Qingmo sternly.
"Why, I didn't do anything wrong!" Song Qingmo's eyes were red, and she looked at Ye persistently.
Ye sighed lowly, Song Qingrong pulled Song Qingmo over, and explained, "Mother is for our good." ”
"What is it for our good, working for the second room, being bullied by the second room, and being sold by the uncle and the second uncle for our good?" Song Qingmo said unconvinced.
"We don't deserve them, we don't owe them, why should we let them."
"Mo'er, let's do more work, and we can't eat two less. Besides, I won't let them sell me. Song Qingrong persuaded in a soft voice.
"But why! If they have hands and feet, can't they work on their own? ”
"The meals in the house are counted, they eat more, I have to eat less, why should I make myself hungry for them!"
"Mo'er...... Don't say it......" Song Qingrong gently dragged Song Qingmo.
"I'm ......" Song Qingmo was about to say when she heard bursts of sobbing.
"It's useless to be a mother, it's a mother who can't live with you!" Ye covered his face and cried lowly.
"Mother, you didn't stand up to us, it's none of your business at all, it's their ......" Song Qingmo saw Ye crying, didn't shout, didn't make trouble, just sat next to Ye and stretched out her hand to hug Ye.
"No, it's a mother, it's useless to be a mother, it's a mother who can't give birth to a son." Ye hugged his two daughters, "I can't give birth to a son, and even you are wronged." ”
"What does it have to do with whether there is a son or not! What a place to be! Song Qingmo didn't understand what the Ye family meant, she was obviously talking about the second room, how could she get involved with her son.
"We don't have any men in the third room, but we have three men in the second room. My mother is afraid that we will marry in the future and have no brother to support us. Song Qingrong explained.
"No matter what Erlang Shiro is, at least Saburo is a good one and looks reliable. My mother has been letting the second room and helping the second room all these years, just hoping that San Lang can remember these good things in the future. ”
"Help our sisters and support us."
Ye touched the heads of the two daughters, "My mother doesn't have a mother's family, my mother's waist pole can't stand up at home, my mother doesn't want you to follow in your mother's footsteps!" ”
"So Mo'er, listen to your mother's words, don't be hard with your second uncle, you bear with it, you are forbearance. Just beg you. Ye held Song Qingmo's hand with tears streaming down his eyes, his eyes pleading.
"Mother's ......" Song Qingmo also cried, she has always complained about her father, her mother's nest, and she and her sister were also wronged, but she didn't expect it to be because of such a reason.
"Mo'er, you promise your mother, you must promise your mother......" Ye's eyes were full of desolation, Song Qingmo couldn't bear it, so she could only nod, "Okay, I promise my mother, and I will let the second uncle in the future." ”
In fact, she wanted to say that she didn't need others to support her, but looking at Ye's pleading eyes, Song Qingrong's eyes were full of hope, and if she refused, she couldn't say it anymore.
She can not take care of herself, but she has to consider Song Qingrong.
Song Qingrong is already twelve years old, and in two or three years, she should discuss marriage. She has a soft temperament and needs a strong mother's family so that she will not be bullied.
And the absence of men is a hard wound in their house.
............
On the other side, Li took the dishes poured into the bowl and put two chopsticks in Song Qingyuan's bowl beside him.
Tsundere turned her head and didn't even look at Song Qingyuan, she hadn't been angry about the incident before.
"I won't eat it, mother, you can eat it." Song Qingyuan pushed the bowl over, she could especially understand San Lang's feelings.
Saburo is already a half-grown teenager, plus he has a correct outlook on life when he is studying in the school, and his mother's behavior makes him feel ashamed.
Young man, you still need to experience! Song Qingyuan thought silently.
"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it!" Shiro looked at the dishes in Song Qingyuan's bowl.
"What are you eating, don't you have a pot over there!" Li glared at Shiro.
"I can't eat it......" Sure enough, the dishes on the man's side have bottomed out.
"Your milk will divide two nests for you, it's not enough for you to eat!" After all, Li still handed Song Qingyuan's bowl to Shiro.
"Hold you out!" Lee muttered to himself.
After the meal, Song Qingyuan helped pick up the table, and Zhou sat cross-legged on the kang and commanded, "Old man, you go to the town tomorrow to pick up some embroidery work, and come to my house to embroider with Lian'er." ”
"Half of the money earned will be handed over to Gongzhong, and the rest will be left in your hands to save a dowry for Lian'er."
