CHAPTER XX

Xiaohong saw that she opened her mouth, and she was not a willing to show weakness, when she scolded back, it alarmed many people in the house for a while, and even Gu Xiaofeng couldn't bear it, so she walked out of the house to see what happened.

Feng Shi was really annoyed, with red eyebrows and white eyes, and his face was flushed, and he slapped Aunt Rui in public, scolding her for being old and dizzy, nosy, and looking for someone to sell her immediately.

Aunt Rui didn't dare to tell the difference, knelt in front of her, touched her tears and begged for mercy, but the Feng family only ignored it, and shouted for Yu Zhong to call Ya Po to sell people.

was making a fuss, but I saw Wenxiu come out of the house, with tears in her eyes, walked up to Feng's side, kneeled down with her clothes, and kowtowed to her to compensate her.

"Good sister, what are you doing, I can't afford it, I sell myself to the people around me, it has nothing to do with you, I can't afford your apology." Feng Shi said coldly, took two steps back with his hands, and stood against the wall.

"Sister, it's me who is not good, I didn't educate my subordinates well, it's all my fault, I admit my mistake to you." Wenxiu kowtowed heavily again and cried.

As he was talking, he saw Yu Zhong walking into the courtyard with Ya Po, who saw a courtyard full of people, and didn't know which one to ask, so he stepped forward to salute everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, which one is the person you want to sell, let the old woman and son get along first?" ”

"Mama, it's her, and she's the one who wants to sell." Wen Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, pointed to Xiaohong beside him and said while wiping away tears.

Ya Po looked at everyone, and saw that none of them spoke, so she stepped forward and stretched out her fingers to pinch Xiaohong's face, forced her to raise her head, looked at it twice, and reached out to pinch her twice, and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know what price the master wants." ”

"Mama, no matter what the price, just take the person away, I resolutely don't want this person." Wenxiu cried.

When Xiaohong heard her words, she immediately cried and choked, held her arm and begged her not to sell herself.

Wenxiu ignored her, and urged Ya Po to take people away quickly.

Ya Po took off the money bag on her waist and counted fifty yuan out, handed it to Wen Xiu, came over to pull people, and said with a smile: "No more, no matter how much, I can't make a move, these years, there are not many homes that can afford idlers, and this kind of delicate girl who can only serve tea and water is not easy to sell, and I hope the master's family will forgive me, don't think I'm mean." ”

"Auntie, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please save Xiaohong, don't sell me! Auntie, second grandmother, Xiaohong is wrong, I don't dare anymore, please leave me ......"

Xiaohong shouted all the way, but was grabbed by the arm of the big-shouldered and round-waisted tooth woman, crossed her waist and quickly pulled out of the yard, and disappeared when she opened her eyes, and even the crying gradually disappeared.

Feng's eyes flashed, and he pulled the curtain to enter the door, Aunt Rui stopped crying for a long time, and when she saw that her girl was gone, she also got up from the ground, patted the dust on her knees, and followed in.

In the courtyard, only Wen Xiu was left kneeling there, crying.

Ruan Jiao was tinkering with her rouge cream in the house, but when she saw that there was a lot of trouble outside, she also walked under the eaves to see what was going on.

"When you weren't at home before, the old lady said that she wanted to buy a girl to serve Wenxiu, this Xiaohong is the person who Aunt Wen got herself, but it's a pity that she is such a clever and eye-catching person, but she didn't teach her subordinates well, no matter how proud she is, can she kill the second sister-in-law in the order? A girl dares to compete with Aunt Rui for a mouth-to-mouth confrontation, which is also self-inflicted. Gu Xiaofeng sighed and pulled her in.

Ruan Jiao heard that it was just a matter of the second room wife competing for favor and jealousy, so she didn't care too much, and continued to play with the rouge in her hand since she came back.

Let's say that the old lady heard it clearly in the house, chrysanthemum, Hua went out to take a look, and came back to figure out what she meant, but she didn't want to care, so she only replied that Wenxiu thought that Xiaohong was not big or small, and called Ya Po to sell her. I wanted to come over and ask the old lady for advice, but she stopped them and let them do it themselves.

The old lady sighed, shook her head, and said as if she was a little self-deprecating: "I understand it tightly in my heart, now the second child is the daughter-in-law's mother's job, what does he dare to do, Jiao Niang stomped his feet, he has to shake three times first, dare to have any temper." This is also an opinion on me, thinking that I have indulged in Wenxiu these days. really responds to the old saying, eat other people's mouth is short, and take other people's soft hands. I lived to this age, I never thought about it, but because this money was held by juniors, it was really boring to think about! ”

The old lady was discouraged when she said this, and she was discouraged when she heard the chrysanthemum and flowers, and when she saw that the old lady didn't care, she threw it aside, let alone care.

Because of the second grandmother's trouble, the family stopped for several days, and the wind was calm.

Gu Zhun took the county exam, and sure enough, he was admitted to Xiucai, and the family was lively for a while, but a few relatives who didn't interact with the uncle and grandmother on weekdays also came, asking questions diligently, and having a mixed meal, before leaving satisfied.

Liu saw that his relatives were coming, and he was happy in his heart, but he was more troubled, Xiucai didn't have any oil and water, but he was just a false name, and he had to wait for another three years to wait for the examiner, but the life of these three years was very difficult, and he didn't know how to survive.

On this day, Ruan Jiao was drying the flowers and plants that had just been brought from the mountains with bean grass.

Doucao came back early, crying sadly and sadly told Ruan Jiao that her mother had died a year ago, and her brother and sister-in-law had not informed her, and this time she went back, she was not very enthusiastic about her, afraid that she would go back to fight for things, crying and saying that she would never go back, and only served Ruan Jiao for the rest of her life.

Ruan Jiao followed her and sighed for a while, and Fang comforted her, as long as she wanted to follow her, no matter what time it was, she would never live up to her.

Doucao is also a solid person, and when he heard her say this, he followed her wholeheartedly.

"Girl, look at this, there is a parallel lotus, but it is not unusual!" Doucao picked up a flower and grass on the ground and held it up to Ruan Jiao to see.

Ruan Jiao was about to speak, when she saw Liu coming over from there and laughed loudly: "And the head lotus? But that's a good thing! I think it's a good thing for Miss Ruan, maybe it's close. ”

"Miss Ruan's good deeds? What's good? I don't know what to do, and I hurried to ask Liu.

Liu approached, pulled Ruan Jiao's clothes, and said with a smile: "Big girl, your marriage with Ming'er has passed the eyes of the grandfather, and there is a marriage certificate as evidence, and now they live together, so it's time to make a salute, come back to the old lady with me, and let's do the happy event on a date." ”

Ruan Jiao blushed when she said this, hurriedly pulled her hand away, and said with a straight face: "Grandma's words are wrong! Who have I ever lived with? Haven't I been living with my aunt and grandmother all these years? ”

"Is it possible that you don't want to?" The eldest grandmother looked a little embarrassed and asked her loudly.

"I don't say what I want or not." Ruan Jiao replied to her, turned around and ran into the house and closed the door.

Gu Xiaofeng, who was embroidering flowers in the house, heard this, and couldn't help but be angry, and wanted to come out to reason with Liu, but he was colliding with Ruan Jiao, who entered the door.

"What are you going to do with your aunt!" Ruan Jiao grabbed her and asked.

Gu Xiaofeng looked angry: "Don't care, I have something to ask my sister-in-law." ”

"My good aunt and grandmother, I know that you are dedicated to my good, but you can't be so reckless, I don't know what grandma thinks, you don't care about it first, I have my own way." Ruan Jiao stopped her and said with a wry smile.

"This family is still shameless, I am panicking for them, I don't think about how to make a living, I just think about how to calculate others, and I can't be a fool when everyone else! It's really faceless! Gu Xiaofeng stomped his feet and couldn't help crying:

"Miss Ruan, I really let you see a joke, I look at such a person, if you don't marry, you don't have to insult a handsome person like you!"

Ruan Jiao hurriedly persuaded her, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, coaxed her to sit on a chair, and poured tea for her to eat.

Gu Xiaofeng took two sips of tea, felt better, wiped away her tears, and said that she would find the old lady to comment.

Ruan Jiaoyin said with a smile: "Grandma, it was you who said that I married in the past, but now it is you who oppose it, and you are really." ”

Gu Xiaofeng couldn't stop crying again, and choked up: "Miss Ruan, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I think you can understand it, why did she say such things in front of you in a hurry, didn't she expect you to marry and use your dowry to feed their family and eat dead food?" I know that Ming'er has a good character and is good to you, but this is the case, I have raised you for a few years, and I have treated you as half a daughter, how can I be willing to let you marry and suffer! This is not possible! There's no way to say it, don't think about it! I'd rather go out and take you alone, no matter how poor you are, you will suffer from such a wretch. ”

Ruan Jiao reached out to hug her, rubbed her head against her neck and rubbed it back and forth, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you are my own mother, how can I not know your mind!" You can only rest assured, the reason why I don't want to fall out with the eldest grandmother is also because of the eldest young master, he is sincere to me, I understand, I am just afraid that he will be sad, and now the family encounters such a hurdle, and the eldest grandmother can't stand up, is it impossible to see that their family can't get by? I've helped everyone outside, so don't I care about the people at home? I have been impatient for a few years, and when Gu Ming has a chance, let him pay me back. ”

Gu Xiaofeng patted her on the back and cried: "My poor child, I knew this earlier, I tried my best to let you go to the south with the Thorn Shi couple, I would rather not want this marriage, than be bullied like this, a woman's dowry is the foundation of life-saving, if it is all spent, will it not trap people in the hands of her husband's family, you can do whatever you want, there is no room for struggle, you see that I ended up like this!" ”

"Don't worry, auntie, I know in my heart that no one can hold me, and I can't fall into the pit. Don't worry, I can handle it! Ruan Jiao comforted her.

Doucao, who had been standing at the door, couldn't help but feel annoyed, came over and shook Ruan Jiao's arm, and shouted, "Girl, what's this called!" Don't be afraid of jokes when you spread it! Don't worry, this tone slave fights for you! It's not impossible to get married, even if you have a marriage certificate, you should change the post and give a dowry first! Let them change their posts, and see what kind of face he has and wants to marry someone back. ”

"My little aunt, you're quiet. I'm afraid that people won't hear it! Ruan Jiao hurriedly got up to cover the bean grass's mouth, pressing the gourd here, but the scoop on the other side, she was a little anxious and couldn't deal with it.
