Chapter VII: The right to speak

"Mother, this little Wang is getting lazier and lazier, and he doesn't even want to wash his sister-in-law's clothes, this is going to turn the sky upside down!" Wang stopped her mother-in-law's way and screamed.

"That's it, my mother has been standing outside for a long time, and the second sister-in-law doesn't come out." Zhao stood at the door of his house and couldn't help but speak, wanting to say a few more words, and thinking of what Shen Zhi had warned her, he didn't dare to say more.

"You are so idle, wash Xiaohui's clothes." He shoved the clothes in his hand into Wang's hand, and pulled his daughter back to the main house.

Wang and Zhao were shocked by their mother-in-law's actions, glanced at each other, and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and the old lady was restrained by Xiao Xia, a mourning star.

Xiao Xia looked at the old lady who ran away, and was sure that she was weak-hearted, but she didn't expect such a vicious mother, and she really felt sad for her father.

When Xiao Wang's face was very ugly when he saw Xiao Xia who entered the house with his clothes. "What's the big deal about washing one more piece of laundry, how can you talk to your grandma and sister-in-law like this."

Xiao Xia saw that her mother was really angry, and she felt a little aggrieved, she was not doing this for her, but she was still blamed. The tone is not good either. "At that time, you might as well embroider a few more purses, and hurry up to make a cotton dress for Xiaoqiu. I survived this year, I don't know if Xiaoqiu will survive next year. ”

After saying that, he went back to his house to get angry, and the house was much warmer when he saw the fire in the past two days, but it was not cold at all, but it was much stronger than before. Xiao Xia decided to lie down and take a good nap, and think about the troubles later.

Xiao Wang's tears stimulated by Xiao Xia's words began to flow out again, and he began to blame himself for being useless, crying while holding his clothes and going out to wash. Xiaochun watched her mother cry and wanted to accuse Xiaoxia, but felt that Xiaoxia was right. Standing in the house and thinking about it for a long time, I finally felt that Xiao Xia was right, and decided to go out to see my mother, and came back to embroider the purse after washing the clothes that should be washed.

The days finally calmed down, and when Xiao Xia crossed over, it was almost out of the first month, and a month passed in a blink of an eye. The snow and ice in April are finally starting to melt, and the people in the small mountain villages are starting to come out and find work.

This month, Xiaochun was busy learning embroidery with her mother, and Xiaoxia went to the village during the day when she had nothing to do, and asked for some news on the side to check the terrain.

The nearest town to this isolated mountain village is Gushan Town, where Uncle is the shopkeeper of a grain store in that town, and Nengwen also goes to school there.

If you go to the mountain town to walk, it will take you half a day, and you won't be able to come back in a day. There are ox carts in the village, and you can go back and forth in one day, but you don't go every day, and you will only go to the town on the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, and you will be charged two cents for pulling your feet.

Now Xiao Xia is waiting to go to the town the day after tomorrow to take a look, the day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and the mother has recently made a lot of purses, and is planning to go to the town to sell it for money.

After dinner, the family gathered on the warm clay kang and talked relaxedly. This was something that Koharu couldn't imagine before, and even Ko Wang's face had a faint smile on his face.

There is no oil lamp in the house, and there is no need to think about candles, only Shen Zhi uses candles when he reads. Although it was dark, Xiao Xia felt that the atmosphere was good. "Mother, the day after tomorrow, let my sister and I go to the town to sell the purse for money?"

"No, your grandmother won't agree, in the past, it was your sister-in-law who went, just let them help sell." Xiao Wang's family has never left Shenjia Village since she married into the Shen family, and she has never thought about leaving, and sometimes she even thinks that maybe only she will leave when she dies!

"Mother, grandma will agree, don't you think grandma has been much better to us recently? Maybe she'll agree? My sister and I also wanted to go to the town to see what to see. "Xiao Xia will not give up, and he must go to the town the day after tomorrow to have a look.

"Even if your grandmother agrees with me or not, what if you haven't been there and get lost?" Xiao Wang didn't expect the second daughter to become more and more bold, and she wanted to go to the town.

"Doesn't my sister-in-law go often? She'll be fine with us. My sister should also see the world, don't worry! ”

"What did you say, girl? What does a girl need to see in the world? Don't go. ”

Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Wang's resolute tone, and had no choice but to look at Xiao Chun for help.

Koharu actually really wants to go to the town to see, and I heard that there are beautiful hair flowers and beautiful clothes. During this time, she was a little bolder by Xiao Xia Nian, and finally dared to say her thoughts.

"Mother, I also want to go to the town to see, I heard that there are beautiful head flowers, and I see that the flowers on my sister-in-law's head are all kinds of beautiful."

Xiao Wang didn't expect Xiao Chun to say the same, and his heart was very sour when he heard her words. Shen Hui is only two years old, but she already has the appearance of a big girl, but her Xiaochun is like an unopened egg, not to mention a head flower, and she doesn't have a decent dress. A few years ago, someone had already proposed to Shen Hui, but no one seemed to know about his own Xiaochun. Thinking about it makes me cry again.

At this time, Shen Zhong also entered the house after burning the fire dragons in each house, and saw his daughter-in-law wiping her tears again, and glanced at Xiao Xia. Recently, Xiao Xia has always been able to make her mother cry.

"What's going on?"

"Dad, we want to go to town." Xiao Xia looked at her father with longing eyes, knowing that his father was a soft-eared person, and if he agreed to his mother, he would agree.

Shen Zhong frowned, looking at the longing eyes of the two girls, he couldn't refuse. "Mother, let the two girls go!"

"It's easy, it's still cold! What do they wear to go out? To go to the town, we have to take an ox cart, and we don't have a copper plate to sit on. Xiao Wang stopped Shen Zhong, but he couldn't help it, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Mother, don't you have a few broken clothes for your father and mother at home, let's just wear them. Uncle Niu's car money, just give it back when we sell our purse. "Xiao Xia has planned it for a long time, of course she can't be defeated by her mother's words.

Koharu nodded vigorously again.

"You kid, I really can't do anything about you." How could the stupid two be Xiao Xia's opponents, and finally agreed.

When Natsu and Koharu went back to sleep on the kang in their house, Koharu was still in a state of excitement.

"Second sister, we can go to the town the day after tomorrow, what do you want to buy?"

"What do you want to buy?" Xiao Xia is also looking forward to going out of the mountains for the first time and seeing the ancient town.

"I have a lot of things I want to buy, but I can't sell my purse for a few dollars. It's nice to have a look. Can grandma let us out? Koharu began to worry again.

"Don't worry! Go to bed early. "Xiao Xia doesn't care about the attitude of the so-called grandmother!

At breakfast the next day, Xiaochun glanced at Xiaoxia from time to time, and she was always worried that she didn't know what she was eating for breakfast.

Xiao Xia took a bite of nest and gruel, and ate breakfast leisurely with pickles. Even Xiao Wang and Shen Zhong glanced at Xiao Xia from time to time, but they didn't notice that they didn't know when Xiao Xia became their backbone.

Xiao Wang thought that she would open her mouth to beg her mother-in-law, but she didn't have the courage.

When they saw Xiao Xia put down the dishes and chopsticks, their hearts rose to their throats.

"Milk ......" Xiao Xia opened her mouth, and the whole family looked at her, of course, none of them had a good face. This month, the Shen family has become accustomed to it, and Xiao Xia rarely speaks, but as soon as he speaks, some people are unlucky.

Xiao Xia didn't care about other people's eyes and was not affected in the slightest. "Tomorrow my sister and I are also going to go to the town for a walk, and my mother has embroidered a lot of purses recently, just to sell."

Mrs. Jia looked at this granddaughter whom she hated very much, and she had known that she was a person who did not eat oil and salt in the last few times, and was not afraid of anything. But Xiao Wang's family can still be cured. also learned from Xiao Xia's calm appearance and spoke directly to Xiao Wang's family.

"Xiao Wang, how did you educate your daughter, and what has become of them? Did you talk to your grandmother like that? If you don't have a good education, you can only change people, second brother, you quickly divorce this black-hearted mother-in-law! ”

Shen Zhong looked at his wife in shock, his mother actually asked him to divorce his wife? What did he do? He didn't want to divorce his wife.

"Mother, I won't fix the grass." This was the first time Shen Zhong had violated his mother's intentions, but his attitude was very resolute.

"It's all turned upside down! Why did I give birth to you, an unfilial son, it was better to strangle him directly at the beginning, and now I have to ask for my old life......" Mrs. Jia saw that the most obedient second child dared to talk back to herself, sat on the kang and began to sprinkle.

Xiao Wang was frightened again, his body shook, and tears began to flow again.

Wang and Zhao are gloating on the side, this month is really exhausting, washing clothes in the winter, hands are soaked. It's all to blame for Xiao Wang's not doing laundry, she should really be taught a lesson.

Xiao Xia was very satisfied with his father's performance this time, as long as Shen Zhong did not agree to divorce his wife, Mrs. Jia wanted to take care of Xiao Wang's family as before, and she had to see if she agreed.

"Mother, quickly clean up the dishes and chopsticks! I'm embroidering two more purses today, and I can sell them for a few more dollars tomorrow! ”

"You unfilial son." Mrs. Jia was crying while pointing at her second son and scolding! In fact, she wanted to scold Xiao Xia the most, but Xiao Xia didn't drop her at all.

"Milk, I really don't know, how is it unfilial to go to town? My sister-in-law often goes, and Uncle and Neng Wen still live in the town, so if you want to scold them, you will scold them. They are even more unfilial than I am. ”

"Mother, don't be sad. Let Xiaochun and Xiaoxia go to the town to have a look, they should see the world, and they will be sensible when they come back. Shen Zhi didn't interfere in the trivial matters of the family, and he spoke for the first time today. It did have an effect, and the old lady stopped crying, as if she was thinking about whether what Shen Zhi said was right.

Xiao Xia didn't expect Shen Zhi to say good things for them, according to her observation of this family for a month, Shen Zhi looked decent, only doing academics and not caring about anything else. But it always gives people a gloomy sense of peacekeeping.

"Okay, they can go if they want, don't worry." Although the old man didn't know Shen Zhi's purpose, he would always stand on his side, and whoever made the third son the most promising.
