Chapter 31: Contradictions

Dong Shu sat obediently on the chair next to Xu Shiqiu, but her eyes involuntarily looked towards the group behind Xu Yanzhu.

When I saw the outfits of the two women in their group, I was more and more glad that I had dressed up again today, otherwise I was afraid that I would embarrass my father-in-law.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu sat up and moved her eyes to look at Xu Yanzhu.

This Xu Yanzhu also walked to the middle of the hall, she Yingying bowed to Mrs. Xu, the whole movement was smooth and natural, and after saluting Mrs. Xu, she stood up straight and looked at Mrs. Xu coquettishly and said, "Grandmother, Yanzhu is back to accompany you." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu slowly walked to the side behind her and stood under the gaze of Mrs. Xu with a smile in her eyes.

Xu Yanzhu's set of actions was smooth, and when she stood behind Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu directly stretched out her hand, held her hand, and praised: "Grandmother knows that you have good rules, but grandmother has said many times, and there is no need to be polite to your own family." ”

After Mrs. Xu said this to Xu Yanzhu, she didn't look at the Erfang Jiang who was standing awkwardly, but turned to look at the Ye family in the big room and said, "Is your father's body still healthy?" ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Xu was just about to get up, but Ye hurriedly walked a few steps, held her arm, stopped her mother-in-law from saluting her, and said, "Mother, sit down, I have already said that in the Xu family, the daughter-in-law is only the eldest daughter-in-law, Ye, not the county lord." ”

After the words fell, Ye directly helped Mrs. Xu to sit down on the chair again, and then directly led her children to salute Mrs. Xu.

When he stood up again, Ye replied: "My father is in good health, and he also asked his daughter-in-law to talk to you so that you can relax, he knows it." ”

After saying this, Ye Shi stood aside again under the approving eyes of Mrs. Xu. didn't put on the shelf of his own county lord at all.

After the conversation between Mrs. Xu and the Ye family, she didn't want to look at the Jiang family, but called several grandsons and granddaughters close to them and asked them about their recent studies and interesting things.

Instead, he directly threw his two sons and the Jiang family aside.

Xu Mingyuan and Xu Xiaozhi didn't dare to resent Mrs. Xu, after all, the two brothers were indeed unfilial, one had never come back once for so many years, and the other had not come back for two years.

This is their mother-in-law, and their mother-in-law wants to teach them a lesson, so they naturally only have to receive it.

It's Jiang.

Because Mrs. Xu was talking to Ye just now but left her aside, thinking about what her mother-in-law and eldest daughter said before, she only felt that she had been slapped in the face.

Just when the Jiang clan was about to can't help but glance at Xu Xiaozhi, the old lady Xu finally looked at her coldly and said, "Jiang clan." ”

Mrs. Xu only called Jiang, and Jiang immediately put away the embarrassment of wanting to let Mrs. Xu find out that she was still standing aside through Xu Xiaozhi.

She bowed respectfully to Mrs. Xu with a slightly stiff body, and before she could get up, she heard Mrs. Xu, who was sitting on the top, sigh faintly: "Fortunately, Yanzhu was raised by me." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu's words came out, Jiang felt a hot pain on her face, and she felt even more embarrassed when she thought that her uncle and younger siblings were also on the side, and there were so many juniors.

I resented my mother-in-law for not saving face for herself, but I also understood that if I would say more, I would definitely be disliked by the public.

In this way, the Jiang family could only endure the anger in his heart, and said to Mrs. Xu with a smirk: "It's still my mother's teaching." ”

Seeing that the Jiang family admitted her mistake, Mrs. Xu let her go and turned to look at her two sons.

Dong Shu sat next to Xu Shiqiu with a glaring eye at the crescent moon, which made her head chaotic, obviously she didn't sort out everything that happened just now.

Xu Shiqiu naturally noticed that something was wrong with Dong Shu for the first time, he stretched out his hand, took the little lady's hand, and then leaned sideways and whispered in her ear: "After I go back later, I will explain to you slowly." ”

With Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu finally let go of what she was thinking.

It just so happened that Mrs. Xu also finished talking to Xu Mingyuan and Xu Xiaozhi, and led them to prepare to meet Dong Shu.

As soon as Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's voice, she immediately showed a slightly silly smile.

But before she could get up to greet her eldest brother and sister-in-law and second brother and sister-in-law, she suddenly heard a sneer.

Hearing this sneer, Dong Shu hurriedly looked at Xu Shiqiu.

I saw that the whole face of the father-in-law was cold, and his eyes were fixed on one place.

Looking along his line of sight, Dong Shu saw that it was the second sister-in-law Jiang.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Dong Shu looked at Jiang Shi with some puzzlement, and saw that she looked at herself after hearing her words, so she continued: "Do you think my smile just now is funny? ”

As soon as Dong Shu's two questions came out, the Jiang family felt even more that this third brother and daughter-in-law was stupid.

But she didn't dare to say it.

Because this will not only be the mother-in-law's eyes on her are not good, but even the eyes of her father-in-law and eldest daughter are not right.

What scared Jiang the most was the eyes of Uncle Xu Shiqiu who looked at him just now, and there was a feeling that made her panic.

Just when the Jiang family didn't know how to answer Dong Shu's question, the Ye family hurriedly called a few children and said, "Why don't you go and say hello to your third aunt, haven't you been talking about meeting the third aunt before?" ”

As soon as Ye Shi spoke, the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed.

Dong Shu also took the opportunity to sit down on the chair.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten the Jiang family's sneer just now, and also forgot Dong Shu's two questions and that she didn't get up to greet the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the second brother and sister-in-law.

The big house has three sons and one daughter, and the youngest Xu Yanmo is a daughter, who is only one year younger than Dong Shu.

Xu Yanmo's temperament is the most lively, she doesn't look much like the Xu family, her skin is not fair, her eyes are not big, and she looks a little heroic.

This will follow the eldest brother and walk in front of the third uncle and third aunt, and after staring at Dong Shu for a while without fear at all, he turned his head to look at Xu Shiqiu and said, "The third uncle is really blessed, marrying such a blessed lady as the third aunt." ”

After saying this, Xu Yanmo moved closer to Dong Shu and said: "Third aunt, I am Yanmo, I am not as gentle and polite as the eldest sister, but I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, if someone bullies the third aunt in the future, I will help you beat him!" ”

As she spoke, Xu Yanmo didn't forget to raise her small fist and wink playfully at Dong Shu.

Dong Shu didn't expect this little niece to be so lively, just when she didn't know how to answer, Xu Yanqing, the eldest of the three brothers standing behind Xu Yanmo, said: "Yanmo, you are naughty again." ”

Xu Yanqing is the eldest grandson of the Xu family, and he is twenty years old this year, five years older than Dong Shu.

At this time, he led his two younger brothers and didn't dare to look at the third aunt at all, so he only saluted Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu together: "Nephew congratulates the third uncle and the third aunt to be like a bird, and often open the side of the branch (1). ”

As soon as Xu Yanqing's words fell, the two younger brothers behind him also opened their mouths to congratulate Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu.

It's just that Xu Yanhao, the second eldest in the big house, is not like the eldest brother who studied since he was a child and was admitted to Xiucai the year before last, and he is going to take the exam next year.

He has a good relationship with Xu Shiqiu, and he has to talk to Xu Shiqiu much more casually.

"Third uncle, nephew wishes you and your third aunt a happy marriage and give birth to younger siblings as soon as possible, otherwise the younger siblings are too different in age from us, and we can't play with them."

As soon as Xu Yanhao's words fell, Xu Shiqiu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, you're not too young." ”

After Xu Shiqiu said this, Xu Yanhao pretended to be stupid and smiled, then took half a step back and gave way to the third brother.

Xu Yanbo of the big house is the only concubine of the Xu family, and he was born to the concubine Teng of the Ye family, although he is a concubine, but his aunt is the marriage of the Ye family, and the relationship with the other heirs of the big house is also very good.

Maybe he is a concubine, and he has neither liked to read nor practice martial arts since he was a child, but he has a lot of research on eating.

solid, the body is slightly white and round.

However, Dafang's three nephews, Dong Shu only looked at him pleasing to the eye.

Maybe it's because they love to eat, and they are all white and fat, and after he congratulated Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, Dong Shu grabbed in front of Xu Shiqiu and said: "You are good for my eyes, remember to bring your brothers and sisters to Shihuan Courtyard to play in the future." As she spoke, Dong Shu instructed Cuihua to give them the gifts she had prepared.

After getting the gift, Xu Yanbo immediately happily said to the two brothers and a sister beside him: "See? The third aunt likes me the most! ”

Looking at Xu Yanbo's smug expression, except for Xu Yanmo, who deliberately snorted coldly, the other two sons just smiled.

Seeing the children in the big room respectfully saluting Dong Shu, Mrs. Xu and Xu Shiqiu were very satisfied.

Xu Yanzhu stood behind Mrs. Xu, looked at the empty space in front of the third uncle and three aunts, and hurriedly glanced at the two younger brothers.

But no matter how Xu Yanzhu made his eyes, Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei in the second room seemed to be stunned, and they didn't move at all.

Seeing the two younger brothers so blind, Xu Yanzhu was angry and anxious.

The two younger brothers were taught by their mothers to have low eyes, and they were anxious to compare with the big room, and their second room became more and more unpleasant.

Fortunately, Xu Yanlang, who was a little longer, finally found her sister's eyes, and hurriedly took her younger brother Xu Yanwei to Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu.

Dong Shu had a good attitude because these two people were Xu Yanzhu's younger brothers, but Xu Shiqiu was very dissatisfied because of their stunned just now and the reaction of the second sister-in-law just now.

The younger generations of the Xu family are afraid of Xu Shiqiu, the third uncle.

It's just that everyone is afraid to a different degree, Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei in the second room are very afraid of Xu Shiqiu under the influence of the Jiang family.

Although he had received a letter from his sister and learned that as long as the third uncle was on his side, he would not harm the people around him unlucky, but the two still didn't dare to approach him.

Seeing the two of them cowering, Xu Shiqiu suddenly sneered and looked at the two nephews and asked, "Do you two still remember the Xu family's family motto?" ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei were both stunned, and the Jiang family saw that the uncle was embarrassed by the two sons, and just wanted to speak, but was suddenly glared at by Xu Xiaozhi.

Xu Xiaozhi also discovered the difference between the two sons and the three nephews of Dafang, not to mention the two sisters-in-law of Dafang, even Xu Yanbo, the concubine, is more atmospheric than the two sons.

Xu Xiaozhi, who was holding back the anger in his heart, naturally would not have a good attitude towards the Jiang family, not to mention that their mother was still here.

The Jiang family was also glared at by Xu Xiaozhi before he realized that this was not his home, but Xiahe Village.

And the two brothers Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei, who were stared at by Xu Shiqiu, only felt that their legs were weak and just wanted to kneel.

Seeing the two nephews sneering and their legs were weak, Xu Shiqiu repeated the question just now, only this time, his tone was full of anger.

"Tell me, what is the Xu family's family motto!"
