The old lady's words were too shameless.

Xia Li didn't want to quarrel with the old woman, so he couldn't help but say, "How is my mother's life?" He became a slave at a young age, and became a widow at a young age. Together with her newborn daughter, she was kicked out of her in-law's house, and she had no choice but to come back all the way to her mother's house...... Xiao Yang still wants to find her idea industry every day, where is her life better...... Also, my second aunt was married to a sick man at the age of twelve, and life will definitely not be good......"

Xia Li's words were heartbroken, and Mrs. Xia was so angry that her face turned red, and her hands trembled a little. shouted, "Leave the girl, you are not filial, how can you talk to the elders?" I know you're going home today, and you've prepared so much delicious food, but you're waiting for your heart-wrenching words. As he spoke, he shed old tears.

Xia Shi also wiped away his tears with a handkerchief and said, "Mother, your words are sharper than a knife, and they hurt my heart." Could it be that you sold me and my sister, and we still have to thank you for selling well? Separation is not unfilial, she is the mother who feels sorry for her. ”

Mrs. Xia said, "Poor families are like this, they can't afford to eat, and the family is starving to death, so it's better to sell the children, they have enough to eat, and the family can live." I'm not here for this family...... Mei Niang's son-in-law is not a sick seedling, but the winter is not very good. ”

Xia Shan patted Xia Li's shoulder, persuaded Xia Shi twice, and said to Mrs. Xia, "Mother, it's inappropriate for you to say that, it hurts people." The eldest sister and the second sister are really pitiful, so my mother will cherish them more in the future. ”

Xia Laohan also said, "You old woman, you are looking for trouble every day. It's because we're sorry for the two girls for this family before. Now it's time to think about how to make up for it. Lan Niang gave birth to a good girl, we don't have to worry about her. But he should let his son go to Mei Niang's in-law's house in Huaxian County to see Mei Niang. The second son-in-law's health is not good, so he took Mei Niang and the children back to live for a few days and enjoy the blessings. The life of the family is better now, and I will bring some heavy gifts to my in-laws, and give Mei Niang some money to live by, so that she can live better in the rest of her life......"

Mrs. Xia said, "It's not that my son didn't pick her up, it's that she has a temper and can't see anyone......"

Xia Laohan said, "Let the pillar pick her up in a few days, and the gift will be thicker, even if Mei Niang doesn't want to see her, her in-laws and son-in-law will let her see ......."

Xia Shi said, "Now that the life of the family is better, we have to be kind to Dani and Erni, and we have to find better ones for them to find their in-laws in the future, at least the father-in-law should be in good health, and the in-laws are not so mean......"

Xia Shan also felt sorry for the two nieces and said, "Dani is okay, the eldest brother and sister-in-law know it in their hearts and will not treat her badly." The key is Erni, the second brother doesn't care about everything, and the second sister-in-law is confused. Father and mother both helped to watch, if the second sister-in-law dared to let her go for money, you must not agree. ”

Xia Li also added to the fire, "The third uncle is now an official, if it is rumored that his niece was allowed to be given to inappropriate people because of money, the third uncle will also be laughed at." ”

As long as it was related to Xia Shan, Xia Laohan was nervous. puffed out his eyes and said to Mrs. Xia, "Did you hear that, my son, daughter, and granddaughter all said so, you can remember it for me, you can't ruin Shanzi's future." ”

Xia Li rolled her eyes in her heart, she was talking about Erni, but the old man didn't mention Erni.

Four dishes and one soup at noon, fried garlic sprouts with bacon, braised pork head, fried dried tofu, fried white siad, chicken soup, chicken soup is the first day's leftovers. Even these are rare generosities of the Xia family, after all, there are only so many people.

The three members of the Xia family and the three members of the Xia family all went to the big table. Mrs. Xia took a big bowl and filled a bowl of rice like a meal for her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and put some dried tofu and white siad on it.

Xia Shan sandwiched a few more slices of bacon and braised pig's head meat in it, and when he saw Mrs. Xia's face sank, he said, "Mother, I wish my sister-in-law is here to help, why don't you even give people some meat to eat." He added, "When the family was too busy, didn't my mother invite my sister-in-law to help a few times?" It always has to make people think about it. ”

Mrs. Xia wanted to say, but Old Man Xia frowned and said, "My son is an official, and he is still so stingy and ashamed." Go, go, take. ”

Xia Li didn't squeak, and I wish my sister-in-law really not bad for these pieces of meat to eat.

Xia blushed again. As long as her mother's family did something embarrassing in front of Xia Li, she would be extremely embarrassed.

The bear-like rice is scooped by Xia Li, half a bowl of chicken soup mixed with rice, a few slices of white ginseng, and a few slices of braised pork.

On the table, Xia Li and Xia Ju didn't have much meat, but Xia Laohan and Xia Shan put a lot of meat into their bowls.

The noodles eaten at night and the dishes that were not eaten at noon are mixed in it, but there is a big bowl per person.

Before leaving, Old Man Xia asked his family of three to go home on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to eat pig-killing vegetables. Because of the bandits a few years ago, people were panicked, and the two big fat pigs of the Xia family had not yet been killed, and they planned to kill them on the eighth day of the new year.

Xia Shan also went into the kitchen to load a bowl of bacon and asked Zhu Er's family to take it back for Zhu Cai to eat.

The light rain was still falling, the roads in the village were muddy, Xia was holding Xia Ju, and wishing the two families to hold bears. Xia Li talked to Xia Mei Niang about Xia Meiniang, she was very curious about that woman.

At night, the rain finally stopped, and a few lonely little stars appeared in the night sky, twinkling and blinking. The cold wind was bitter, and the bamboo leaves were rattling.

Xia Li was sleeping deeply, when he suddenly heard the barking of Kuroko and the howl of a bear, followed by Xia Ju's loud cry.

Xia Li turned over and got up, quickly put on the bag containing arrows, grabbed the bow and an arrow and rushed out.

Xia, who was sleeping on the couch in the hall, grabbed her and said sharply, "You can't go out." She picked up the machete she had placed under the bed and stood at the door.

When Xia Li was about to pull Xia to the side, he heard Zhu Er in the east courtyard shouting, "Big girl, it seems to be the voice of Dangdang." ”

Xia Li and Xia Shi glanced at each other, Xia Shi hurriedly opened the door, Xia Li ran directly to the East Courtyard, and Xia Shi went to the East Wing North House to release the sunspot.

Zhu Er and his wife were already standing at the east gate and did not dare to open the door. One with a hoe, the other with an axe, ready to go into battle at any moment.

There was another scratching sound outside the door, and a weak whimper.

Xia Li was sure that it was Dangdang's voice, and opened the door as soon as he could. Under the miserable white starlight, there stood a lone dog. The dog was covered in mud, skinny, tired, with tears in his eyes, and the white bandages on his thighs were soaked in muddy water, and all of them were stained red with blood.

Even if it had changed very much, Xia Li could see at a glance that it was just a few days away.

Xia Wei was in so much pain that he threw away the bow and arrow in his hand and hugged Dangdang into his arms, and cried bitterly.

Xia was also frightened, and hurriedly said, "Oh, God! Carry Dangdang into the house and see if it's hurting. ”

Xia Li wiped a handful of tears and hurried back to the main courtyard with Dangdang in his arms.
