Chapter 10 Succession and Son-in-law
There are already many people in the family, plus Xia's mother and daughter, Xia Dani and Xia Erni can't eat at the table. Mrs. Xia filled half a bowl of brown rice into two large earthen bowls, sandwiched some lotus white, dried beans, cucumbers and white woad vermicelli into it, and then scooped some stewed soybeans with a spoon, this is Dani and Erni's rice.
Mrs. Xia said while scooping, "Only our girl's film is so expensive, and the food is piled up like a hill, so please cherish it." Other people's girls can't even eat, and they are so hungry that they are so hungry that they are thin. ”
Xia Dani and Xia Erni took the bowl and sat down on the small stool on the side to eat very consciously.
Xia Li seriously despised the old lady's patriarchy.
Those two little girls were not very old, but they were full of labor. Especially Erni, who has done more than Xiao Yang's, didn't even get a little meat and oil residue.
Then, the old lady began to divide the pig's trotters, and her mouth was still muttering, "I have made a total of nineteen pig's trotters, nine people are exactly two lumps in a family, and the old man has one more lump......
After Mrs. Xia scooped three pieces of pig's trotters for Xia Laohan, she scooped two pieces each for herself, her two sons, Xia and Xia Li, and her three grandsons. Xia Li noticed that the two lumps in his and Xia's bowls were too small.
Xia Laohan took a piece of pig's trotters from his bowl and gave it to Xia Li, and said, "This pig's trotters are for the girl, and you have to eat more from the girl." ”
In the Xia family, only Xia Laohan dared to give the meat in his bowl to others. If it were someone else, Mrs. Xia would scold, not only the person who caught the meat, but also the person who received the meat, and maybe there would be follow-up punishments.
Xia Li hurriedly returned the meat to Xia Laohan and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm enough." ”
Xia Laohan gave it to her again, "If you give it to you, you will eat, and take care of your body earlier." ”
Xia Shi also took a lump from his bowl and gave it to Xia Li, and said softly, "Your grandfather is right, eat more and take care of your body earlier." ”
Mrs. Xia shook off Xia Li's eyes a few times, her mouth opened, and she still didn't dare to say more.
The little original owner is well treated in the Xia family, and he can bear it with peace of mind. Xia Li was a little incompetent to accept Xia Laohan's chopsticks, and when he saw that he insisted, he could only eat with his eyes closed.
In fact, she really wanted to give a point to the two little girls sitting on the side, but she knew that if they dared to take it, Mrs. Xia would not only scold, but also find an opportunity to starve their stomachs.
Xiao Yang glanced at the sharp meat piled up in Xia Li's bowl greedily, glared at Xia Li again, flipped through the soybean soup with chopsticks, and really found a small piece of meat skin and ate it himself. Li grabbed a few more oil residues and got up and gave them to Xia Dani.
Xiao Yang hurriedly grabbed a piece of fried fat again, and was slapped with chopsticks by Mrs. Xia and scolded a few words.
Xia Li didn't clip the fat by himself, Xia Laohan sandwiched two slices for her. In her previous life, she didn't like to eat fatty meat and was tired of it, but now she doesn't feel tired of eating so much meat.
The meal was lively and lively, and Xia Li secretly slandered himself. In ancient times, women were not good, and those who were exploited and oppressed were not only daughters-in-law. From a little girl to a daughter-in-law, and then from a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law, it's too long!
She once again thanked Xia in her heart for being a good mother, such a gentle woman, but she insisted on it for her daughter. It's a pity that her own daughter has died.
After the meal, Li's mother and daughter packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen to wash, and everyone sat in the house and chatted. Mrs. Xia also talked about Xia Li being pushed into the river by a man with a bad mind and almost drowning, how pitiful the orphans and widows were, and if there was no man in the family, it would not work after all. The old lady spoke with emotion, and the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she felt really distressed about her daughter and granddaughter.
The crowd also sighed.
Xia Li knew that the old lady had done such a big foreshadowing, and it was time to talk about the follow-up.
Xiao Yang also understood the old lady's plan, and his heart blossomed. She pushed the three leopards and said, "How good are the three leopards in my family, they are the aunt's own nephew and the girl's own cousin." He became a son to his aunt and a younger brother to a girl, and those stinky men won't worry about his aunt anymore......"
The latter sentence was ugly, Xia Shi's face sank, and he said sadly, "Brother and sister, how can you tarnish my reputation so much? We orphans and widows have to rely on my father, mother, brother and brother, and we can't ask for you. I haven't eaten my mother's food in vain now, and I'm going to be said so ugly by my brother and daughter-in-law, if it really falls in the future, we girls won't be bullied to death by you......"
Speaking of the back, he actually cried.
Xia Li added another fire, "The second uncle's heart is vicious, she can't wait for us to break through, she wants to kill us first, the three leopards don't even need to succeed, just get our family property back!" ”
Xia Laohan and Mrs. Xia were so angry that they scolded, Xia Zhu glared at Xiao Yang fiercely, and Xia Tie also slapped her.
Xia Li said secretly, Xiao Yang's is a team of pigs, and Mrs. Xia has done so much foreshadowing, but she was led astray by her last sentence. Xia's accusation made Xia Laohan and his son angry, and Mrs. Xia couldn't use Xia Li's push into the river to talk about the three leopards.
Xia Laohan looked around the room, and said solemnly, "Lan Niang has suffered a lot for this family, and she is a good girl who is filial. We have a good life like this, and she has made a great contribution. You must remember her goodness, and do not worry about the little things in her house, which are the basis of their lives. In the future, she will recruit a son-in-law for the girl, Lan Niang's mother and daughter have something to rely on, and the belongings are also their mother and daughter's, and there is no outflow. ”
Xia Zhu and Xia Tie hurriedly said that they would be good to their sister (sister). Even Xia Erhu expressed his stance that he wanted to rely on his aunt and sister.
The old lady said again, "If you recruit a son-in-law, you will recruit a big bear, so many belongings can't be cheap for others......"
Old Xia said with a heavy face, "What's the matter with you old woman, didn't I understand what I said just now?" Don't beat them anymore. Who is the son-in-law of the girl, Lan Niang has the final say, she will not harm her daughter. Don't be foolish. ”
Xia Daxiong was said to have a big red face and ran away.
Mrs. Xia didn't dare to say more.
Xia Li snorted secretly, their own affairs were arranged by them!
Mrs. Xia and Xiao Yang want to occupy her family's property for their grandson (son), and although Xia Laohan helps them, they also have a bottom line, that is, those family properties can only belong to their mother and daughter, and cannot be cheap to outsiders. The implication is that the Xia family cannot remarry, and Xia Li can only recruit a son-in-law.
Isn't it just a yard and a well, as for it? If I make more money in the future, I don't know what will happen.
Xia Shi and Xia Li didn't answer the words of the old couple, and got up to say goodbye.
After returning home, Xia said to Xia Li, "Your grandfather is also really planning for us, let's not object, if he doesn't help us, our life will be even more difficult." They say theirs, what shall we do? When you find a good family in the future, you will sell this yard, plus the money you usually save, and buy a decent dowry. The silver at home will be used as the silver of the pressure box, and no one will say ......"
