"Lili, you don't have to worry about this leather boy, he is very skinny, jumping up and down all day long, isn't it just picking a date, he doesn't have to excuse himself." After Sister-in-law Yang finished saying this, she glared at her son with some dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice: "In the past, when your wife and I wanted to eat, I never saw you so attentive, it's really my son who can't help it." ”

"Mother, what did you say? Naturally, I also have you in my heart, didn't I pick you back and eat a few of you? Yang Ming hurriedly coaxed his mother to coax people to the point of laughter, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at your own mother-in-law in the eyes of outsiders, she looks spicy and refreshing, if she doesn't follow her at home, she may not know how to teach herself a lesson in the future!

"By the way, didn't my mother go out with your uncle in the morning? Didn't my mother say that she was going to find her eldest brother? Liu Lili remembered it, and said this.

"Well, it's okay." Brother Yang pondered for a moment, "Your mother is outside, I'll let her come and talk to you, I won't say more." ”

Brother Yang said this, and then called his sister who was delayed outside with something to do. gave the room to their mother and daughter, and he carried his own son, and the two of them went out of the room, not forgetting to close the door of the room.

"Mother, didn't you go to find the eldest brother this morning? What do you think? Did Big Brother say anything? Liu Lili couldn't wait to ask, a pair of curious eyes looked at her mother tightly.

Liu Yang just sat down and sighed lightly, thought for a while, and then said what happened this morning.

This morning, Liu Yang and Brother Yang took a carriage into the town early in the morning, went straight to the academy, and called their own son, who was still studying there.

"Your eldest brother seems to be a little haggard and doesn't look very good. I told him about it, I told him, your father sold your sister, and I told him that I wanted to reconcile with my father. ”

Liu Yang stood at the door of the academy and called Liu Qingxia out, and the two of them came to a secluded corner.

"Mother, why did you come to me today? Is something going on in the house? Liu Qingxia looked at her mother-in-law a little strangely, if there was nothing big on weekdays, her mother-in-law would never come to the courtyard to find her, just for fear of disturbing her own study.

"That's right, I have something to tell you." Liu Yang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your father sold your Xiuxiu sister and went to a big family to be a maid." ”

"I want to stop it, but your father doesn't listen to me, and your grandmother also thinks it's better to sell Xiuxiu for money."

"I have seen through this family, I want to take Lili away, I am worried that if I stay at home any longer, sooner or later Lili will follow in the footsteps of Xiuxiu and be sold by them."

"I have already appealed to the Yamen! I want to reconcile with your father, and then come over with Lili and ask if you have any ideas? ”

Liu Yang said everything in his heart in one breath, looked at his eldest son's expression very seriously and said: "Although the family is not very rich, it is not to the point where you have to sell your daughter to survive. Flesh and blood relatives can do this, what else can't they do? ”

"I came to you, in addition to wanting to talk to you, I am afraid that if this matter is reasonable, the reputation of the Liu family will be stinky, and it will not even sound good with your reputation in the future, and it will affect your imperial examination."

After Liu Qingxia heard these words, her face was a little ugly when she heard that her sister was sold, her brows furrowed tightly, and she also said with a look of disapproval: "Daddy and grandma have gone too far, how can they sell their little sister like this?" No, I have to hurry home to persuade them to redeem my little sister. ”

"If I can be persuaded like this, I won't think about separating from your father." Liu Yang sighed helplessly, "I also went to inquire yesterday, the big family that bought Xiuxiu has a good reputation, and it is very friendly to the subordinates, if Xiuxiu lives there, it will definitely be much better than at home." ”

"I heard that the people of that family seem to be the master of that family, and some kind of general who resigned and returned to his hometown." Liu Yang recalled: "Anyway, it should be a very good person." ”

"Well, then I'll be relieved." Liu Qingxia breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "When I have time another day, I'll go to visit, meet my sister, and ask her how she is doing." ”

"As for the matter of mother, if you want to reconcile with your father, everything is based on your mother's own wishes, and you can do whatever you want."

Liu Qingxia said her thoughts seriously, then looked at her mother and said, "Don't worry about me." ”

"How can I not take care of it? You are also my son, well, you have studied hard for so many years, isn't it just to get a fame? Liu Yang's eyes reddened slightly, and then said: "If it's because of me, at the end of the year, how do you tell me to deal with myself in the future?" ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry a lot, I'm actually..." Liu Qingxia bit her lip and looked at the mother in front of her with a little guilt on her face, and still said what she thought in her heart.

"Actually, I don't want to take the test for a long time, I'm tired after missing this several times, and I'm a little disheartened, I feel that I have to spend the family's money to continue to read like this, and it's really not worth it to let the family come for me to study, I might as well find a job in the town, anyway, your son and I can count and be literate, just be a bookkeeper or help others copy books or something, I can always mix a mouthful of food, and I won't starve to death!"

Liu Qingxia seriously said what she was thinking in her heart, and felt that the breath that had been stuck in her chest suddenly dissipated, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and the thoughts that she had been depressed for a long time finally came out at this moment.

"Actually, the last time I went home, I wanted to talk to my family about it, saying that I didn't want to study anymore, but seeing my father and grandmother so earnest, I was embarrassed to say it, and finally I had to go back to the academy in a hurry."

"If it really affects my reputation, then I can't wait for it!" Liu Qingxia looked at her mother's eyes, which were full of sincerity, and there was no room for falsehood.
