Chapter 220: Rigidity
The two children said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie." Then he took the money.
The moment he took the silver, both pairs of eyes were shining, and both small mouths were grinning.
They handed over the silver to Xia Meiniang, and Peng Laixi also said, "Mother, with so much silver, you can buy a set of good clothes for your mother and sister, and leave some money for your sister as a dowry." ”
Last time, after Xia Meiniang was beaten by the villagers, she was so angry that she went home and cried, saying something about how much she had been wronged because of her mother's dowry, and he remembered it.
He didn't want his sister to be wronged, and he kept thinking about how to save a dowry for his sister.
Tong Yan was unintentional, which made several adults sad and made Xia Meiniang blush. She said angrily, "Little baby, what do you want." ”
Peng Laifu also blushed and said, "With so much money, treat my father and younger brother, and then let my younger brother study, and only when he grows up can he be productive." ”
Xia Li couldn't help but sigh, these two children were taught very well, not only were they not selfish, but they also had the consciousness of putting others before themselves. It seems that not only Xia Meiniang's character is good, but Peng Huozi's personality is also good.
Xia Meiniang smiled, "The children of poor families have small eyes, which makes you laugh." ”
Xia Li smiled, "My cousin and cousin are very good and sensible. ”
Xia Meiniang smiled again, "Second aunt listened to what your mother said, you are capable, and your family is so prosperous, it all depends on you." If Lili really wants to help the second aunt, if you have the ability, help us find some work, I want to live a good life with our hands. Don't sell your daughters, don't take advantage of your relatives...... "She works part-time in the dog training camp, she knows the importance of Dangdang and Xiongxiang, and she also knows that Xia Li is familiar with Jinye and others from the same capital, and wants to ask her to help with this.
This is Xia Meiniang's obsession for half her life, and it is also a good character, Xia Li agreed with a smile.
Xia Ju led Peng Laifu and Peng Laixi to play outside, and the adults drank tea and talked in the house.
Xia Shi talked about some things after she returned to her hometown, and Xia Li helped on the side.
Xia Meiniang didn't understand some of Xia's practices, "...... The eldest sister is soft and good-hearted. If it were me, I would rather be scolded for being unfilial, and throw the silver to feed the dogs, or throw it into the river, but not give it to them...... Look at how it is, give so much, it's not that you are not satisfied......"
Xia smiled softly and said, "I'm also out of line." I am a widow, less than a year old, and we orphans and widows can live without a place to rely on. ”
Xia Meiniang said with red circles in her eyes again, "My sister and I were reincarnated in that family, and we are both hard-working people. Fortunately, my sister has a capable daughter, and she recognizes a good son, so she will finally have a support in the future. He snorted coldly, "Fortunately, my sister has been stubborn, and she has not passed the grandson of the Xia family, otherwise you and Lili will have to suffer, not only the family property, but also the blood and flesh will be eaten by them." ”
Xia Li secretly thought that the personalities of these two sisters were very different. Xia is gentle, Xia Meiniang is hard. Xia would rather spend more money and be angry, but also make his life better. But Xia Meiniang would rather have a hard time at home than admit defeat. Xia Meiniang has such a character, not only because of so many years of suffering, but also because of the stimulation of the old couple of the Xia family, hating them, for fear that she will be a little like them.
Xia said again that Xia Zhu went to Peng's house to pick her up and take her back to her parents' house for the New Year, but when she didn't receive it, Xia Laohan cried like a child, "...... I think my father really regrets it, I feel sorry for you, and the eldest brother and third brother are also sad because of you. ”
What she means is that Xia Laohan can forgive, Xia Zhu and Xia Shan are really good to Xia Meiniang, let her hate her less, so that her life will be better and her mood will be more comfortable.
Xia Meiniang shook her head and said, "Eldest sister, don't say that the family is good, that family, except for you, I don't recognize it." Even if they are rich enough to eat dragon meat, and I am poor enough to drink the northwest wind, I don't recognize it. ”
Xia sighed and talked about Xia Shan again.
Xia Meiniang heard that her little brother Xia Shan was also in Fucheng and was still an officer, so she was not very happy. In her heart, her parents sold their sisters for the sake of these brothers.
When she heard that Mrs. Xia had ruined Xia Shan's family affairs, she sneered again, "It turns out that the rarest thing about my mother is not her son, it's money......"
After some talking, Xia invited Xia Meiniang to live in this village temporarily.
Xia Meiniang shook her head without thinking and said, "No." The eldest sister is a widow, and my camel is a man. Even if we live in your village, it will hinder the reputation of the eldest sister. ”
Xia wanted to say that living in Zhuangzi was not living in her house. But seeing Xia Meiniang's tough face, she just didn't dare to persuade more.
At noon, the dishes on the table are very rich, and the chicken, duck and fish are complete.
Peng Huozi is a brother-in-law, so it is not good to eat at the same table with the Xia family, Xia Ju accompanies him to eat at another table, and the others eat at the same table.
Even if Peng Laifu and Peng Laixi saw that there was a sparkle in their eyes, they were not like many country children who were rummaging over or gobbling up dishes like many country children, they were all sandwiched with the dishes in front of them. Xia Shi and Xia Li saw each other, and gave them meat in their bowls.
Peng Laixi loves to eat the sand meat so much, after eating the bowl, he looked at the plate with the sand meat a few more times, and Xia gave him two more pieces.
When Xia Meiniang saw it, she coughed and glared at Peng Laixi fiercely. Peng Lai hurriedly lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Jia Sharou again.
Xia patted Xia Meiniang and said angrily, "He's still a baby." ”
Xia Meiniang wanted to say that teaching a baby is to teach her from a young age, but when she saw her sister looking at her son with pity, she still endured it.
Xia Li looked at the thin Peng Laixi and asked, "Cousin Laixi, like his uncle, is he suffering from asthma?" ”
Xia Meiniang sighed and nodded.
Xia Li said, "After returning to the city, I will ask someone to inquire, find a doctor who is good at curing this disease, and ask him to treat my uncle-in-law and cousin." ”
Xia Meiniang smiled very happily and said, "That relationship is good, and the second aunt also wants to leave this matter." ”
Before the meal was finished, Xia Shan came running on horseback. He was so excited that his face was flushed, and he pulled Xia Meiniang's sleeve and burst into tears.
Xia Meiniang has a grudge against the old couple of the Xia family, and she is not close to the son of the Xia family, thinking that her parents sold their daughter for their son. But when she got married, Xia Shan was still young, and she heard Xia and Xia Li tell that Xia Shan had a very good relationship with their family, and she was hurt a lot by Mrs. Xia, so her resentment towards him was not as big as before. Although the expression on his face was faint, he didn't break away from Xia Shan's hand.
After Peng Laifu and Peng Laixi gave Xia Shan a gift, Xia Shan gave the two children a meeting gift of ten taels of silver each. He had already heard Zhu Er talk about the general situation of the Peng family, and thought of the difficulties when Peng Huozi sold his contempt weapons, so he wanted to give more money to make his family's life better.
