"I didn't see Mrs. Wei coming, so don't get out of the way!" Ruby drank lightly.

Seeing the lively crowd, they hurriedly turned around and saluted Xia Wanrou and made a spacious way for her.

As a result, Xia Wanrou was able to enter the house, in fact, there was nothing abnormal in the house, the left was just a few people sitting and chatting in Bishui Village, and somehow, it caused so many people to watch, and made everyone laugh.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Man smiled and said, "Sister Wanrou, you're here." ”

Xia Wanrou pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard your laughter in the courtyard just now, and I was telling a joke, so I'll listen to it too." “

When the women saw that Xia Wanrou was coming, the smile on their faces was even stronger, and one of them boldly stepped forward and pulled Xia Wanrou directly and dragged her to Xiao Man's position, "Madame, let's sit here and listen, otherwise I won't be able to see it all, and I will definitely feel bored." ”

"Yes, yes, let Sister Wanrou sit next to me." Xiao Man echoed with the voice.

couldn't resist everyone's request, Xia Wanrou had to sit down next to Xiao Man, but because of Xiao Man's stomach, she sat very upright, for fear that she would accidentally touch her stomach.

In fact, it is a joke, that is, these women tell interesting things in the countryside, but it just so happens that these people talk very funny, and they are used to making analogies, even Xia Wanrou, who has never experienced rural life, is also very happy to listen to it, and from time to time she holds a handkerchief to cover her lips and chuckles.

There is no one else in this room anyway, and Xiaoman can't care about the image of the past, she holds a bowl of sour plums, listening and eating.

When he was happy, he laughed, his eyes widened when he heard the nervousness, his fingers didn't move, and even the sour plum that had been put in his mouth forgot to eat, and his stunned appearance was even funnier than these people talking.

These people have the benefits of Xiaoman, although they are not stammering, but they will also pick up good words, Xiaoman echoes two sentences from time to time, and the atmosphere in the house is very harmonious.

Xia Wanrou was fascinated by what she heard, and she didn't even notice that the night was getting darker, if it weren't for Wei Xiuyuan coming directly to Lu Mansion to look for someone, she would probably have listened to it all the time.

Wei Xiuyuan was still wearing an official mansion, and his figure was tall again, and he suddenly appeared in the main hall of the Lu Mansion, which startled the women, and almost thought that the official had come to arrest them.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoman grinned again, she put down the small bowl, got up and went to the middle of the room to introduce: "Auntie, auntie, don't be afraid, this is Sister Wanrou's husband, you can call him Lord Wei." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Wei Xiuyuan again, "Brother Wei, these are my aunts and aunts, these days I have come to Beijing to play, and I will live in my mansion for a while, and I hope you don't bother us." ”

"Wherever and where, the one who comes is the guest." Wei Xiuyuan bent the corners of his lips, and then bowed to several women.

Where could the woman afford his courtesy, they all followed his example in return, which made the maids present laugh again, and Pearl pursed her lips and smiled and walked over, leaned over and whispered to the women how to return the salute, so as not to make them blush.

"It's not too early, Xiaoman, I'll go back first." Xia Wanrou walked behind Wei Xiuyuan, pursed her lips slightly and smiled, "I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoman teased: "You came to see me fake, come and listen to my aunts tell jokes is true, right?" Sister Wanrou, you said I guessed right? ”

Xia Wanrou snorted and laughed, "Okay, okay, I have other selfish intentions, okay?" ”

The two teased each other again, and then reluctantly left.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, the people had already arranged the dining room, and everyone went to the dining room to eat.

She was also tired for a day, and her body was very tired, especially her lower back, which was sore and painful from this stomach.

Pearl was distressed, so she hurriedly helped Xiao Man to lie down on her side, she took hot water to give Xiao Man a hot compress for a while, and then gently rubbed it, so as to relieve some of the soreness.

"Madam, are these people also your relatives? The slave looked, and the two people who came last time didn't seem to be from the same place. Pearl said casually.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Xiao Man lay on his side on the soft collapse, pondering the words of the pearl, and sighed secretly in his heart.

However, after such a contact, Pearl can see that Zhang Xiuqin's mother and daughter have completely different attitudes towards her from other people in the same village, how can she not notice it when she has lived in the Su family for so many years?

Although these people are just outsiders after all, they have never fallen into the well when they are the most depressed, compared to what Su Xiaoling and Zhang Xiuqin did, their family's attitude is really chilling.

"Ma'am?"

Xu is Su Xiaoman thought about it, and she didn't have an idea of what Pearl said later, she heard Pearl's call, chuckled, sighed and said: "Aunt Zhang is my stepmother, and Su Xiaoling is my half-sister." ”

Except for Xia Wanrou, she didn't tell anyone about it.

First, she didn't want to mention this sad incident, and second, she didn't bother to care what others thought, let alone explain anything.

"So that's the case, no wonder, they're noisy and noisy, and their temperament is not at all different from yours, they don't look like a family, I wondered what I was doing at the beginning." Pearl suddenly realized.

Su Xiaoman smiled and didn't say anything.

It's not early, the little girl outside brought hot water for washing, and Pearl waited for Xiaoman to take off her coat, and then took off the hairpin ring and washed her face.

"Pearl, you also go to rest, tired of the day, go to bed early." Xiao Man persuaded while combing his hair.

Pearl who was making the bed smiled and said, "The weather has been cold recently, and Mrs. such a cold quilt will definitely not be able to sleep, so I will warm up the soup for Mrs. first, and Mrs. will be warmer later." ”

"You've got a heart."

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock at the door.

The master and servant couldn't help but glance at each other, it's so late, and someone is knocking on the door?

Thinking about it, Pearl still got up and responded: "It's here." ”

When I opened the door, I saw a familiar lady outside, wasn't this the one who had been drinking tea quietly during the day? Why did you knock at the door at this hour, could it be......

"Girl, has your wife slept?" Aunt Yang rubbed her hands embarrassedly and asked with a blank look.

Pearl was about to speak, and Xiao Man's voice suddenly came from inside the room: "Is it Aunt Yang?" Come on in. ”

She remembered Aunt Yang's voice, if the other party didn't come to find her tonight, she would also go to the other party, just because the other party was a little abnormal all day today, and she had been sitting quietly on the side, and when others talked about something interesting, she didn't smile much, her face was very sad, as if there was something annoying.

"Mrs. Lu, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." After Aunt Yang came in, she didn't sit down, but stood cramped in front of Xiao Man, rubbing her hands nervously, looking extremely nervous and uneasy.

Xiao Man beckoned to the pearl and asked her to send a stool to Aunt Yang, and after Aunt Yang sat down, she said seriously: "Aunt Yang, you are still the same as before, just call me Xiao Man." I see you've been frowning all day today, but do you have anything to ask me for? ”

This Aunt Yang is a neighbor of the Su family, before, Zhang Xiuqin and Su Qi quarreled, Zhang Xiuqin shouted and shouted to attract the whole village, Aunt Yang also worked hard all the way to the mountain to inform herself, therefore, Xiaoman has always been grateful to this Aunt Yang.

"Lu... Xiaoman, I'm looking for you this time, in fact, I do have opinions and ask for your help. Aunt Yang was very embarrassed, when she said that she wanted Xiaoman to help, her face turned red, and she stumbled when she spoke, "You... As you remember, my family has... There's a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, right? ”

Xiao Man nodded hurriedly, "Remember, I also gave them sugar gourds." ”

Somehow these words hit Aunt Yang's sadness, she was still fine, her eyes were red, and her tears fell uncontrollably, she hurriedly reached out to wipe it, but the more she wiped, the more she wiped, and after a while, her sleeves were all wet.

Aunt Yang became more and more sad, but she still bit her lip and refused to cry.

Seeing this, Pearl quietly withdrew and closed the door intimately.

Xiao Man handed over the handkerchief and asked softly, "Aunt Yang, but this pair of dragons and phoenixes ...... the fetus."

"No, no, no, they're fine." Aunt Yang wiped her tears again, then wiped the tears on her face with the handkerchief handed over by Xiaoman, sniffed, and raised her head, "It's their father who has an accident!" ”

Since the son of Aunt Yang's family added this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the family's food and clothing have become tighter and tighter, and Aunt Yang's son has to go out to work as a coolie, but fortunately, Aunt Yang's daughter-in-law is very filial to her in-laws, and she is very capable.

Over the years, Mrs. Yang's son has worked very hard and saved a lot of money, so I want to end this life of separation from my family, but there are unforeseen circumstances, just when Mrs. Yang's son said goodbye to the place where he worked, and walked back with his wages, he unfortunately encountered robbers on the road, not only the money was robbed, but even the son of the eldest mother was hacked to death by the robbers.

Uncle Yang couldn't stand the news, he died of a sudden violent illness, the night of the house happened to rain overnight, and Aunt Yang's daughter-in-law also had to leave home at this time.

But at noon, I heard that I had to sign an IOU, where could a person like Aunt Yang who was over half a hundred years old have the ability to repay the money, and she couldn't help but be disheartened at the moment, if it weren't for her scruples that no one would take care of the twins at home, she would have hung herself with a rope on the beam of the house.

After saying this, Aunt Yang couldn't cry anymore, she knelt down for Xiao Man, and begged bitterly: "Xiao Man, I beg you, help us." ”

"Auntie, why don't you just live with me! I still have a shop and I'm worried that I can't find someone to take care of it, why don't you take this shortage? ”
