Chapter 24: Resentment

No one could have thought that Dong Shu would say such a thing.

Including Xu Yanzhu and Xu Shiqiu, who saw something wrong walking towards her quickly, the uncle and nephew, they didn't expect Dong Shu, who looked silly in the past, to say such a thing.

In fact, Dong Shu will also be nervous.

This is the first time she has said this about a person, and it is a girl's family.

It's just that she thought about the appearance of the last time she defended herself, and the things that were faintly revealed when Tianyanzhu taught her rules and etiquette, so she felt that she might have to take on something.

She and Xianggong's small family, although most of the burden is borne by Xianggong, but she can't ignore everything.

At least, when others bully her, she can't just wait for her husband to defend herself, she also has to learn to protect herself!

It is precisely because of this that Dong Shu remembered the indifferent appearance of her mother-in-law when she looked at her before.

recalled her nervousness at the time, so she just stood there and spoke lightly, saying these words that made Liu Er embarrassed.

As for pretending not to hear, that's obviously not okay.

Even Dong Shu is honest and honest, and she understands the truth that people are good and are bullied.

If she didn't open her mouth today, and let Liu Er arrange her cousin and her husband like this, then this kind of thing would definitely be indispensable in the future.

Dong Shu, who grew up in an ordinary farmer in Xiahe Village, clearly understands that in a place like Xiahe Village, a rumor may really harm a person.

Dong Shu didn't want to have anything to do with the public, and she didn't want her cousin to hate herself because of this.

So although it didn't take long for her to understand these truths, she still learned to give a counterattack.

Xu Shiqiu kept paying attention to Dong Shu, and when he saw the little lady's hand hidden behind her clenched into fists and still shaking, he understood that she must be nervous.

After guessing why the little lady was nervous, Xu Shiqiu didn't care about the other girls standing not far from Dong Shu, and walked to her step by step.

When he walked to Dong Shu's side, he directly reached out to wrap his hand around her waist and hid her trembling hand behind him.

"Lady, I see that you also picked a lot of shepherd's cabbage today, and there are a lot of ground ears, why don't you go back now?" Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu with a sideways face and said this softly, seeing that she looked up at herself, and after the big crescent moon still had a little nervousness in her eyes, she hurriedly hooked the corners of her lips and continued: "I see that tomorrow is estimated to be good weather, go back to Xianggong to make you a paper kite, and tomorrow Xianggong will accompany you out to release paper kites, okay?" ”

Xu Shiqiu's tone was soft, and listening to his voice, Dong Shu's originally nervous heart was slowly soothed.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu and nodded obediently, and then turned her head to look at her cousin Dong Miao and said, "Sister Miao, you go back and tell your cousin that he must not marry Liu'er, I don't like her to be my cousin-in-law." After saying this to Dong Miao, Dong Shu didn't look at Liu Er's face, and turned around directly to leave.

It wasn't until Dong Shu turned around that Liu Er, who was ashamed of her words just now, came back to her senses.

Seeing that Dong Shu left directly after telling so many things about herself, Liu Er suddenly slammed into Dong Shu in annoyance.

At this moment, her mind was very simple.

If she made a fool of herself today, she also wants to make Dong Shu ugly!

Xu Shiqiu has been practicing martial arts for many years, and when Liu Er just made a move, he noticed the movement behind him.

Sensing that the body of the little lady in his arms was still tense because of nervousness, he grabbed Dong Shu's waist tightly, put his lips close to her ear and said, "Lady, you see it as a husband." ”

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu and turned around slightly.

Dong Shu was still wondering what Xu Shiqiu meant by what she said to herself, and as she was taken by Xu Shiqiu and turned around, she saw Liu Er, who was only two steps away from her.

Looking at Liu Er's hideous expression, Dong Shugang wanted to speak in a little panic, but saw her father-in-law quickly raise his legs at this time, and the next moment Liu'er's body hit her father-in-law's feet directly.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, they didn't expect that Liu Er would run towards Dong Shu, and obviously wanted to hit her.

I didn't expect that the third son of the Xu family would raise his feet to block Liu'er, as if he was afraid that Liu'er would get close to him.

It wasn't until Liu'er 'poofed' that a heavy object fell to the ground, and the girls who followed Liu'er just now screamed in shock.

Hearing their screams, Xu Shiqiu raised his eyes and glanced at them very unhappily, and saw that they quickly shut up after touching their gaze, and then looked at Liu Er, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said, "You bumped into it yourself, not me kicked you." ”

Seeing Liu Er say this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and then continued to speak: "My lady is just telling the truth, but you want to knock her down."

If you don't have that kind of mind, why should you be angry? This territory belongs to the Xu family, in the past, you came to pick wild vegetables, and our Xu family saw that you didn't make trouble, so naturally we wouldn't say anything.

But today you dare to climb my lady, and you want to knock down my lady.

Because of your fault, in the future, in this area, my Xu family will not welcome other people in the village to come over to pick wild vegetables. ”

Xu Shiqiu directly opened his mouth to magnify Liu Er's fault, and at the end, he said that he would not let the villagers of Xiahe Village come over to pick wild vegetables.

In this way, the people of Xiahe Village will only be angry that Liu'er doesn't know what to do, and even climb Dong Shu, and even want to knock her down, and they definitely don't dare to have any dissatisfaction with the Xu family and Dong Shu.

But even if there is, Xu Shiqiu will not be afraid of anything, he naturally has other ways to deal with these things.

Dong Shu looked behind her curiously after Xu Shiqiu opened her mouth to say that sentence to herself, and it wasn't until Xu Shiqiu raised her legs later, and then Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, she completely relaxed herself, glanced at her cousin a few steps away and said, "Sister Miao, I'll go back first." After saying this, she turned around directly and prepared to go home with her husband.

Xu Yanzhu watched the third uncle and the third aunt leave, and after bowing slightly to the third aunt's cousin, she turned around and followed the third uncle.

This will make Xu Yanzhu also ponder in her heart the difference between the third aunt today, looking at such a third aunt, Xu Yanzhu actually felt that it was not bad.

If her third uncle has been staying in Xiahe Village, then there is nothing wrong with her third aunt being delicate and soft.

But she looked at her grandmother's meaning recently, as if she wanted the third uncle to return to Beijing next year.

If the third uncle really returns to Beijing next year, the third aunt has such a change, which is a good thing for them.

What Xu Yanzhu pondered in his heart, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu didn't know yet.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu didn't know either, just after they turned to leave, Liu Er, who was lying motionless on the ground just now, suddenly opened her eyes.

And in her eyes, in addition to unwillingness, there is also a strong resentment!

Today's event is the first attempt for Dong Shu.

When he followed Xianggong home, Dong Shu came back to his senses and looked up at him and said, "Xianggong, did I do well today?" ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect the little lady to suddenly speak, hearing her words, he paused slightly, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing happened, and said as he walked: "Why did the lady do this today?" ”

Hearing Xianggong's inquiry, Dong Shu frowned and thought for a while before continuing: "I just think I can't count on Xianggong to protect me for everything. Now that Xianggong has always had time to accompany me, I can naturally wait for Xianggong to help me in trouble. But what if the minister can't always accompany me in the future? ”

After saying this, Dong Shu raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Shiqiu, whose expression had not changed, and then said with some apprehension: "I don't know if I did well today, I thought that I couldn't rush up to fight like my aunt, and I thought about what Yanzhu taught me on weekdays, so I stabilized." ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect his little lady to think so much in her heart.

In his selfish heart, he naturally hopes that he can always protect the little lady, but he also understands that the little lady has the ability to protect herself, and it is better to protect herself than to wait for him to protect her.

But for some reason, looking at such a little lady, he felt very reluctant.

I can't bear her, because of myself, I have lost the innocence and happiness of the past.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu sighed and said, "Lady, you did a good job today." Xu Shiqiu first affirmed Dong Shu, and then continued: "It's just that I still hope that you can be happy every day."

You have such a good temperament, I don't want to watch you do something that you are not good at because of my relationship. ”

Hearing Xianggong's words, Dong Shu immediately smiled and bent the crescent moon and looked at him and said: "Xianggong, I always have to grow up, Xianggong protected me before, and I can protect Xianggong one day."

And I'm willing to learn to do this for the sake of my husband, and I won't feel unhappy. Really, I really do. ”

Dong Shu said this sincerely, as if she felt that she would be able to protect Xu Shiqiu one day, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Looking at such a little lady, Xu Shiqiu felt more and more like her, and was reluctant to let her change so much for herself.

Xu Yanzhu has been following behind the third uncle and third aunt, watching the affectionate appearance between the two of them, eavesdropping on the loving conversation between the two of them.

Although I still envy in my heart, it is more of a habit.

The third uncle loves the third aunt, the third aunt cares about the third uncle, these days, she sees it very clearly.

It is precisely because she has been staying with her third uncle and aunt these days that Xu Yanzhu understands a very important truth.

Husband and wife can't always ask each other to pay for themselves, and when the other party pays, they must also give something in return.

Xu Yanzhu feels that she has benefited a lot these days, and she likes to live behind her third uncle and aunt every day.

Thinking that at this time, the uncle's family and her father and mother were already on their way back to Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu wanted to know more and more about what she, the once simple and silly third aunt, would grow up to when they came back.

Dong Shu's mood was originally very good this morning, although it had some impact because of Liu'er's matter, but she thought about what Xianggong said just now about going to put paper kites tomorrow, so she quickly left Liu'er's matter behind.

Seeing that the third aunt recovered so quickly, Xu Yanzhu was also very envious of her character.

It seems that in the eyes of the third aunt, no matter how sad things are, as long as the third uncle treats her well, she is not a problem at all.

But thinking that she could go to put paper kites tomorrow, Xu Yanzhu was also very happy.

It's just that they didn't expect it, but at night, Dong Shu, who had gone to bed early, suddenly broke out in cold sweat on her forehead uncomfortably, and lay on the bed and hummed.

As soon as Xu Shiqiu, who heard the movement, opened his eyes, he saw the little lady who should have been sleeping in his arms curled up in the corner of the bed.

"Lady, what's wrong with you?"

With Xu Shiqiu's exclamation, Dong Shu finally opened his eyes slowly, looked at him and said with trembling lips: "Xianggong, I hurt." ”
