Chapter 008: Doubt
"They're coming!" The mother-in-law at the door opened the curtain and said with a smile to the old lady sitting at the top of the house.
So Sister Ma Ya came in one after another.
Ma Ya walked at the end, after Sister Bell Hua entered, she divided into two sides, sideways and waited for Ma Ya to come over, and Bell said to Ma Ya: "The one sitting above is our master!" ”
Sister Hua saw Ma Ya quickly glance at the hall, then hesitated a little, and finally she looked at Sister Hua.
Sister Hua said, "Don't be afraid, come!" ”
Sister Hua supported Ma Ya and took her to the kneeling cushion in the middle of the hall, Sister Hua asked Ma Ya to kneel down and said softly: "Sitting above is the lord of our house, please say hello to the lord!" ”
"Greetings to the master!" Ma Ya kowtowed to Master Sun.
"Hmm!" The old man looked at the horse kneeling on the ground, and he was also curious, he wanted to take a good look at this horse, so he said, "Raise your head!" ”
Master Sun didn't let Ma Ya get up.
Ma Ya raised her head, she glanced at Master Sun quickly, and then lowered her eyelids.
Last time, a maid told her that she couldn't look directly at the master for a long time, that would be rude!
"Your name is Ma Ya?"
"Yes, sir!"
Master Sun looked Ma Ya up and down carefully, looked at it for a while, and said, "Your father has tuberculosis?" When did it not? ”
"I don't know!"
"How could you not know? You didn't wear filial piety for him? Master Sun frowned and said.
"I followed •••••• well, when I came out with my mother, my father didn't die!"
While Ma Ya said this, she was brewing emotions.
Because Feng Qinghui told her that she must be cautious.
Ma Ya was afraid that Master Sun on the seat would ask too many questions, and he would show his feet. Ma Ya had to find something to get him through.
Ma Ya sobbed!
Ma Ya sobbed, not because of her unwarranted father, but because she remembered what she had happened in the past few months.
Ma Ya went from clothes to food, and opened her mouth to be pampered by everyone, and suddenly became a child begging everywhere in a poor family.
Ma Ya sobbed before Master Sun asked again.
The reason why Ma Ya was able to think of such an idea in such a short period of time was because Feng Qinghui didn't know how many times she had practiced with her before.
Feng Qinghui told her that if someone asks you about too many things at home, cry. And then there's pretending not to know.
"What are you crying about?" Sister Hua asked Ma Ya on the side.
"My dad, woo, my dad is really dead?" Ma Ya cried and asked Sister Hua.
Everyone looked at each other at first, and then immediately understood why Ma Ya was crying.
"We don't know your father, who knows if he's dead?" Sister Hua said, "Don't cry yet!" ”
"My mother said that when my father recovers from his illness, he will earn money to redeem me!" Ma Ya sobbed.
Ma Ya said something like this.
It wasn't Ma Ya who thought of saying this, but Feng Qinghui taught her.
Feng Qinghui told Ma Ya, as soon as you say this, everyone will not ask about your family.
As for why, Feng Qinghui didn't tell Ma Ya. Even if I told her, she couldn't understand it.
Adults can understand, if you have tuberculosis, there is basically no help, and a family like Ma Ya described can only wait for death.
Since Ma Ya's mother told a white lie to the child, the adults can't break the lie, and they can't sprinkle salt on the child's wounds, right?!
Her mother had already sold her, and besides, her father must be dead, so how desperate she was!
When she is older, she knows more things, and she knows what is good or bad, and she will naturally understand that for the poor, tuberculosis is an incurable disease.
Even if the family conditions are good and the life is good, there are few people who can get better with tuberculosis.
Ma Ya gradually stopped sobbing.
Master Sun looked at Ma Ya and observed carefully.
I don't know when, Master Sun frowned.
Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at Ma Ya, waiting for the master to ask her something.
"Dad, what do you think of Ma Ya?" The third lady broke the silence and asked Master Sun who was sitting above with a smile.
Master Sun stroked the beard on his chin, he was still looking at Ma Ya, and when he heard the third lady ask, he said, "Not bad!" ”
The third lady laughed, and she said to the old lady and the eldest lady and the second wife.
"Dad said yes, then she must not be wrong!" The third wife smiled and said: "Dad, you just saw her, if you have been in contact with her for a long time, you will know that she is really good, obedient, and knows how to advance and retreat!" ”
Sun Lao also nodded and looked at Ma Ya, who was still kneeling.
"Get up!" Finally, Master Sun said to Ma Ya and Yan Yuese: "You come close, let me take a closer look!" ”
Sister Hua went over with a smile, picked up the horse, and brought it to the master.
The old man's eyes were fixed on Ma Ya's white and tender hands, and the old lady also looked at Ma Ya's hands through the old man's eyes, and the old lady seemed to have discovered this unusual pair of hands, and was about to say something, when she saw that the old man looked at her, the old lady swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
The old husband and wife have lived together for a long time, and they can know what each other means with one look.
When the old lady saw someone looking at her, she smiled and said to the horse, "Come, come to me!" ”
The bell hurriedly came over and brought Ma Ya to the old lady, and Sister Hua stepped back.
The old lady rubbed Ma Ya's hand, carefully looked at Ma Ya's face, and then said to the third lady: "This child, I take a closer look, it's really good!" ”
The third lady smiled and said: "This child, don't look at her small, she looks good, and she does things quickly, and I like it within two days of coming to me." ”
"Look at the third aunt who is happy, as if she has picked up a treasure!" The eldest grandmother was opposite the third lady and smiled at the third wife.
"You exchange Lan Yan with me, I won't change it!" The third lady said to Lan Yan, the girl who was standing behind the grandmother opposite.
Lan Yan laughed, Lan Yan knew that the third wife was making fun of her.
The eldest wife and the second wife did not let go of their hearts until this time.
It turned out that the third wife was not targeting them, she really liked this little maid named Ma Ya.
The eldest lady said.
"Third sister, it's just that you send someone else to Lian'er, how can you send Sister Hua to Lian'er? You have Sister Hua, you have to worry a lot, besides, there is no shortage of old people in Lian'er. ”
The third wife said: "Lian'er, this child, has been spoiled by Li's mother, and sometimes her temper comes up, the girl in her room, except for Xiaocui, who can persuade her?" ”
The third lady looked at Sister Hua with a smile and said, "What Sister Hua said to her, she listened." Besides, Xiaocui is not small, and it is time to release it this year, so I will find it and let Sister Hua take her over, it is appropriate! ”
"This is natural, with Sister Hua with her, what else will Lian'er have to say?!" The second wife smiled and said, "Sister Hua is at Lian'er's place, and one person has to take two or three maids." ”
So, the topic shifted from Ma Ya to Sister Hua.
And the old man and the old lady have been secretly observing Ma Ya standing behind the third wife's side.
