Chapter 44: Matters of the Heart

Mei Xiaotong rubbed over and carefully pushed Mrs. Li's arm: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Mrs. Li's muffled voice came: "Mother is fine, just lie down." You've been looking at the needle for a long time this morning, and you can't look at it again in the afternoon, so look carefully. Just go out for a walk if you're fine. ”

Angry with her father, she can still remember her eyes, Mei Xiaotong's heart was sour, and she came to Mrs. Li's side: "My mother is uncomfortable, where do I have the heart to go out, I will accompany my mother." ”

Sitting on the kang as he spoke, he asked Mrs. Li if she wanted to drink water, and then asked if it was hot or cold.

Coaxed Mrs. Li to lie down, so she simply turned over and sat up, and glanced at her old daughter with disgust: "You, don't go back to the house and stay, what is the old troublesome mother doing?" Give me some points! ”

The tone was strange, but there was a smile in his eyes, thinking that he was very happy with his daughter's cold and warmth.

"It's still my old daughter's intimacy. Okay, it's been all over the years, my mother is fine, don't worry! As he spoke, he looked out the window, leaned into Mei Xiaotong's ear, and whispered: "It's true that my mother is not happy, but your grandmother has been dead for so many years, doesn't she have to hand over the family business she keeps in my hands?" All the sons of the Mei family were born to me, what am I afraid of? Your father was the most defensive against me, and after giving birth to a son, didn't he obediently listen to me for everything? Women, you have to give birth to a son to stand, and you can't rely on a man! Okay, you go back to the house to rest for a while, I'll be fine with your father, don't worry! ”

Mei Xiaotong saw that Mrs. Li had really recovered, so she nodded reassuringly and went out.

Mei Zhongzhong, who was watching outside, could still hear the voice of the old woman and her daughter talking at first, but then she couldn't hear it.

I was nervous for a while, I wanted to enter the house but I didn't dare, I wanted to go out, and I was worried about it.

After thinking about it, he simply took out the sour jujube wood he brought down the mountain from the wood, and started carpentry work under the window.

For a long time, when I saw my daughter come out, I was busy looking over.

Although Mei Xiaotong doesn't quite agree with Mrs. Li's statement that a woman must give birth to a son in order to stand, with the limitations of her in this era, the idea that a woman must be strong and fight for it is already very advanced.

Whether it is as a mother and daughter or as a woman, at this critical moment, it is natural to show determination and stand on the mother's side.

Therefore, Mei Xiaotong just didn't see Mei Zhongzhong's inquiring eyes, and went back to the room without squinting.

At that time, Mei Zhongzhong rubbed outside for a long time, and still went into the house, the old couple in the house didn't know what they were muttering, and in the evening, Mrs. Li's face returned to normal.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At the dinner table, Xiaoque said tremblingly: "Sister-in-law, I went to ask Bamboo Leaf in the afternoon, and Bamboo Leaf said that she would ask her brother to move the gardenia tree tomorrow." ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, indicating that she understood.

Turning his head, he looked at Mei Changgui: "Fourth brother, dig a pit in front of my window early tomorrow so that I can plant trees." ”

Mei Changgui was brainwashed by Mrs. Li to focus on the little sister, listen to the little sister, if there is something good for the little sister to pick first, if the little sister is bullied, she has to stand up.

In addition, Mrs. Li muttered all the time, saying that if it weren't for the little sister, she would be the living king, and if it wasn't for the little sister, she would almost have to carry the black pot for the Li family.

I think that my mother is not wrong, the little sister is so good, dedicated to herself and the Mei family, she used to be greedy, but also because she was still young, besides, doesn't this big event show the power of the little sister? It's normal for a little girl to like something delicious, fun, and good-looking.

What's more, after the accident, it was the little sister who helped her speak in front of her father and mother to save herself from the embarrassment of being forced to marry.

Everything is the blessing of the little sister, and I also caused the little sister to be implicated in the rumors, I am really sorry for the little sister.

He has to be good to his little sister in the future, well, he is as good to his little sister as he is to his father!

Mei Changgui is a straight-hearted person, and he feels sorry for Mei Xiaotong, so he can't wait to give her his life.

Now don't say that he just digs a pit and plants trees, even if he is asked to dig a pit and bury himself in it, he won't even frown.

So I readily agreed.

also asked casually: "I made an appointment with An Huahao to go hunting together in a few days, and when the fourth brother found good things and sold them to buy you delicious food, he also cut beautiful clothes for you to wear." ”

Mei Xiaotong had a headache when she heard An Huahao's three words, since the fourth brother drank with An Huahao and came over the mountain overnight, he regarded others as bosom brothers, and he had to mention it several times every day.

also owes himself to his big heart, and his father and mother also know that their son has no brains, otherwise he would have to be beaten.

But after listening to it too much, I was very calm, just nodding calmly, and there were not many words.

When she woke up in the dark and sweet night, Mei Xiaotong went to the firewood room to see her jade mushrooms as usual, and saw a few more raised small dirt bags, so she was a little relieved.

After breakfast, Mei Changgui took a few boys and dug a big pit in front of Mei Xiaotong's window, waiting for the Li family to send flowers and trees.

The sun was on the treetops, Li Zhuye walked in front, and the two brothers in the back carried a cluster of gardenia trees that about two people could hug over with a bitter face, and rushed to Mei's house.

Li Zhuye touched his buttocks, which was still faintly aching, and felt aggrieved, yesterday's mother showed no mercy at all, and a few brooms hurt so much.

Fortunately, after being beaten, my mother finally let go and sent the flowers and trees over.

Li Zhuye's two elder brothers, Li Zhugen, and Li Zhugan looked at the awkward walking posture of the little sister in front, and wanted to laugh again, and remembered that they were going to Mei's house in a while, what should they do when they saw Mei Changgui?

The relationship between his brothers and Mei Changgui has always been good, Mei Changgui can be their cousin-in-law, that is kissing and kissing, they are also very happy, Mei Changgui helps the brothers a lot on weekdays.

But his cousin cuckolded others and quit his family, and the brothers felt that they had no face to see Mei Changgui.

My sister still has to find trouble, and when I see Mei Changgui, where do I put my brothers' faces?

The more I think about it, the more worried I become.

The three brothers and sisters came to Mei's house with great sorrow.

Although Mei Changgui is short-tempered, he has clear grievances.

Li Jinzhi is Li Jinzhi, but Li Zhugen and Li Zhugan are good brothers with him, and they haven't seen each other for many days, and he also knows that the two brothers are embarrassed to see him.

Seeing it at this moment, Mei Changgui didn't have any mustard at all, and slapped the two brothers with a smile: "We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, we will plant a tree for a while, let's go to the blacksmith at the entrance of the village to get something, I will go into the mountain in a few days, will you go?" ”

It's the same as ever.

The brothers of the Li family were naturally happy to see that Mei Changgui was not angry with them at all, nor did he get angry.

Three or two handfuls planted the tree, hooked shoulders and went to the entrance of the village.

Leaving Li Zhuye alone in the little girl's house, she snorted angrily and looked at her conscienceless, and her brother who forgot her sister fell straight to her feet.

Mei Xiaotong is still learning needlework in the yard today, learned to thread yesterday, and today, she began to learn knotting and the simplest stitching method.

Seeing the little girl pouting, yesterday's anger has long since disappeared, where can I really be angry with the little girl?

Besides, this little girl doesn't say anything else, her eyes are good, and she can see that she has lost weight at a glance, which proves that the fat double burner is still effective, so the day of successful weight loss is just around the corner.

Therefore, she was in a good mood in the morning, and even Mei Changgui Ti'an Huahao did not affect her.

At this time, he beckoned to Li Zhuye.

Li Zhuye looked at Mei Xiaotong cautiously, and saw that she was indeed not angry, so she rubbed to the side, with a little embarrassment on her face: "Auntie-"

Mei Xiaotong was happy, she was embarrassed by the little girl, nodded, and took out a flower from her sleeve: "Here, my aunt gave it to you, thank you for the flower tree." ”

can't take other people's things for nothing, this is Mei Xiaotong's criterion.

Li Zhuye's eyes widened in surprise: "Auntie, is this really for me?" "This is a fake flower with a pile of yarn, the handiwork is rough, and it is better than the bright color, otherwise it will not be picked by a straight man like Mei Changgui and brought back.

That's right, this is the pearl flower that Mei Changgui planned to give to Li Jinzhi and was picked up by Mei Xiaotong, Mrs. Li gave it directly to her daughter, although Zhou also wanted it in her heart, but after thinking about it, this was bought by her brother-in-law, and it was not suitable for her to be her sister-in-law, so she couldn't help but didn't speak.

Wen was cowardly, although she saw Xiao Que's eager eyes, but she knew her status in the Mei family, even if she wanted to, she would not come, so she simply didn't see Xiao Que's gloomy eyes.

It's just that Mei Xiaotong is not interested in these flowers at all now, so she keeps keeping them, and when she takes them out at the moment, the pink color can still attract the eyes of the little girl.

Li Zhuye looked at the head flower with blank eyes, and carefully reached out to touch it, the touch of the silk yarn made her eyes widen, this kind of head flower, she had seen it on Li Jinzhi's cousin, and she also wanted to touch it, but Li Jinzhi said that she was afraid that she would touch it dirty, and said that she was a country girl, and she also deserved to touch these?

It hurt Li Zhuye's heart very much, so she hates Li Jinzhi!

At this moment, I really touched this flower, Li Zhuye wanted it again, and felt that it was too precious, afraid that she would be whipped again if she took it back.

In the end, the desire for the head flower in my heart still overwhelmed the emotion of fear.

Li Zhuye took the flower, "Thank you, aunt!" ”

I couldn't wait to stick it on my head, and asked Xiaoque, who had envy in his eyes, "Xiaoque, do you think I look good wearing this flower?" ”

Xiaoque lowered his eyes, and his tone was no longer as cheerful as before: "It's good-looking." ”

Yes, it's really good-looking! It's a pity that I can't own one.

Xiaoque turned his head away, and looked at Wen's apologetic and reassuring eyes, I don't know why, I didn't feel before.

In the past, when she and her younger brothers were scolded by her grandmother, wronged by her aunt, and called by her aunt, when she and her younger brothers went to her mother for help, her mother always looked at them with such apologetic eyes, silently kept silent, and never defended their sisters and brothers.

After the incident, the mother would hold them in her arms and cry and say sorry, because the father was not at home, regardless of whether their mother and son lived or died, so Sanfang had the most no status in the family and was always bullied.

But there is no way, because they don't have their father's backing, so they have to endure it.

She used to always understand her mother for taking their three sisters and brothers alone, and she was the most unhappy at home, so she endured the grievances silently.

How else could it be? Mother can't count on it, she won't stand out for herself.

But now, looking at the smile on Li Zhuye's face and the beautiful flower on his head, Xiaoque was sad and angry.

Why, when the first milk was splitting the flowers, the mother knew how much she liked it, so she couldn't open her mouth to fight for it once? Even when he wanted to speak, he was stopped by his mother.

If she had been rejected by her milk after opening her mouth, maybe she wouldn't have been so upset.

Wen naturally knew Xiaoque's thoughts, and she was also uncomfortable looking at her daughter's longing eyes.

Silently lowered her head and straightened the thread in her hand, she knew that Xiaoque was a sensible child, and it would be fine if she was only sad for a while, and at night, she would comfort and comfort her.

Mei Xiaotong watched the eyes of Wen's mother and daughter.

Whether it was her before or now, she doesn't look down on Wen at all.

A mother who can't fight for the interests of her children, endures everything silently, and wants her children to endure with her, is not qualified at all!

When the flowers were separated, she actually saw Mrs. Li's eyes glancing at Wen and Xiaoque, with her understanding of Mrs. Li, she retired the prospective daughter-in-law she didn't like, and got ten taels of silver, the mood was just right, Wen's also contributed, in addition to herself, Xiaoque was a girl, as long as Wen and Xiaoque spoke, there was seventy or eighty percent hope, and Mrs. Li would agree.

But Wen didn't open his mouth, and she stopped Xiaoque when he wanted to speak.
