When she got home in the evening, Xie Qingshan asked her if she had found out who had stolen the vegetables, and Xie Xuan didn't say anything about Li Yongcai, only that he was a bastard in a nearby village, who had always been messing around in the county seat, and had been sent to the county government by Liu Sinian.

Xie Qingshan was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Xie Xuan how much money he had spent, and he must return it to Liu Sinian's brothers and sisters, rather than less, and never owe favors anymore.

"If it weren't for Dr. Liu of Baicaotang, where would our family be where we are today? Doctor Liu's grandchildren and grandchildren, don't say anything, just help us send the thief into the yamen, we owe the Liu family too much favor! Xie Qingshan couldn't stop saying.

"Grandpa, the favor is that I owe you, you owe me, and I still come and go, and the friendship is slowly deepening! If you don't owe favors, where can you have friendships? Xie Xuan smiled and gossiped with Xie Qingshan.

"That's right! It's still my granddaughter's brain. But you can't just owe it and don't pay it back, it's annoying! ”

"Grandpa is right!"

Because Zhuangzi was about to be completed, Xie Xuan was going to go to Zhuangzi with Xie Qingshan and them the next day, and he also got up early in the morning.

The sky outside the window was still dark, feeling the chill in the air, Xie Xuan worked hard for a long time to get out of the quilt with difficulty.

Hui Niang, who was getting dressed and getting up to cook, saw it and asked in a low voice, "Xuanxuan, why are you getting up early today?" Don't get more sleep? ”

"Mother, Zhuangzi is almost finished, I have to go with my grandfather to take a look!" Xie Xuan was attached to the warmth in the quilt, wrapped in a cotton jacket, and was reluctant to get out of the quilt.

Li Ying and Li Lian, who were sleeping at the other end, also woke up when they heard Hui Niang and Xie Xuan talking.

"You're going to see? See? You have to take care of everything, as if you can't do anything without you! Li Lian turned over in the quilt and muttered.

Xie Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she wore a cotton jacket and pants, put on a jacket and skirt, and was about to go to the ground.

Hui Niang turned her head and saw it, so she said, "You stay in the bed for a while, it's cold outside!" I'll go to the kitchen to boil water, bring it to you when it's boiled, and you will come out of the bed! ”

"Huh! Thank you! When Xie Xuan heard this, she retracted the quilt.

"Really! It's polite to my mother! Hui Niang sat on the side of the kang and pulled her hair, covered her hair with a bun, pulled it with a copper hairpin, dipped a little shavings water with a comb, neatly pulled out the broken hair at the back of her head, inserted two rows of grass combs, and was about to go out.

"Mother, when you come to grandma's house, you only care about hurting Xuanxuan and forget about us!" Li Lian suddenly sat up from the quilt, stared at Xie Xuan and said: "When I was at home, we didn't love grandma and grandpa, and when we arrived at grandma's house, grandpa and grandpa were also towards Xuanxuan, and now even you are facing Xuanxuan, leaving me and my sister somewhere to go!" We all picked it up from outside, and Xuanxuan is our own ......"

"Lian'er, what do you say?" Li Ying hurriedly sat up as well, grabbed her arm to stop her from saying more, "Grandpa and grandma are not good to us?" Not only do you open a small stove for us every day, but also give us pocket money, why are you not satisfied? ”

"Grandpa and grandma are good! But it depends on who you compare with, it's much better than your grandparents. But let's compare with Xuanxuan, at first glance, it is an outsider! Xuanxuan's food and clothing, which one is not several times better than ours? Yesterday Xuanxuan went to the county seat, and I saw that my grandfather stuffed Xuanxuan with a string of money, which was enough for several dollars of silver! Li Lian was even more indignant when she mentioned it, "Give us two more than a dozen dollars!" Give Xuanxuan a few dollars of silver, enough to buy many good things......"

"Slap-" A slap sounded, interrupting Li Lian's indignant accusation, and Li Lian covered her face and stared at Hui Niang in disbelief.

Hui Niang raised her hand, her face turned blue with anger, "I originally thought you were small, and we let you on weekdays, so you developed a nonsense temperament, who knew that you were really ignorant!" ”

Li Lian covered her hot face, tears swirled in her eyes, and she looked at Hui Niang with a stubborn face.

"What did your grandpa and grandma do to you, don't you have a little bit in your heart? I open a small stove for you all day long to make food, what do you want, didn't your grandma cook it for you? When did you ask for money, and your grandpa didn't give it to you? How did he say a word to you? In exchange for what? In exchange for you saying that they are not good behind your back today! Star anise fell into the dung pit - you are a stinking one! Dogs eat pig – no matter how good or bad! ”

Hui Niang trembled angrily, pointed at Li Lian and said, "Your grandfather stuffed Xuanxuan with money so that she could play?" That's to check the thief who stole vegetables for our family with the Liu family brothers and sisters!

You know that your sister Xuan has not been by her father's side since she was a child, and as the second sister, she doesn't know how to let her, and she picks thorns everywhere, fights with her everywhere, and even learns to provoke! How could I have given birth to a daughter like you?

How could our Xie family have such an ungrateful and unsatisfied person, it is indeed the seed of your old Li family, and the ash material bears osmanthus - the root is not right! If you really think your grandparents' house is not good, I will send you back to your grandparents' house! Find out which one is good for you! ”

How can Hui Niang tolerate others to say bad things about her parents, this person is still her own daughter, and she is not lightly angry.

When Li Lian heard the words "go back to her grandparents' house", the tears that she had stubbornly endured fell down in her eyes. She didn't beg for mercy, she just kept crying, and her voice became louder and louder, and gradually turned into a howl.

"Cry what cry! Isn't sending you back to your grandma's house what you wanted? If you are still dissatisfied, say it together, I will follow you today! Hui Niang saw that Li Lian was howling more and more, and her heart was even more annoyed.

"Mother, Lian'er is just angry, talking nonsense, don't be angry!" Li Ying was anxious and didn't know what to do, Hui Niang was still beating a child for the first time, she was also frightened, and pulled Li Lian's hand again, "Lian'er, you quickly admit your mistake to your mother!" ”

Li Lian only howled, stalked her neck, and knocked Li Ying's hand off.

"Good! Good! Good! Seeing Li Lian like this, Hui Niang was even more angry, "I can't control you, you dress me immediately, let's go back to your grandmother's house, and don't enter the door of your grandmother's house in the future!" ”

Xie Xuan looked at it coldly, and saw that Li Lian's howl was hoarse, and it became louder and louder.

Sheng Lin'er was also so frightened that she cried, and for a while, there was a loud noise in the house, and there was a lot of commotion.

Sure enough, everyone outside heard it, and Qiu Niang of the Xie Wang clan and the Lin clan hurried over to see what was happening.

"What's going on? Why did you cry early in the morning? Xie Wang's first one came in, and when he saw Li Lian's eyes red and swollen sitting at the head of the bed crying, a handful of snot and tears, he hurriedly sat on the kang to help her wipe her tears, and Li Lian threw herself into Xie Wang's arms, crying even more painfully.

"Mother, don't care! She's so ignorant! If you don't teach her a lesson, she doesn't know who she is! Hui Niang said angrily.

Lin and Qiu Niang also came in, and Xie Xuan got up from the quilt and went down to put on her shoes.

"Hui Niang, whose child is born sensible, she is ignorant and teaches her slowly, what's the use of you scolding her!" Lin also persuaded and said, seeing that Xie Xuan was about to get out of bed, he picked up the cotton shoes on the ground and put them on Xie Xuan's feet.

Hui Niang was embarrassed to say that her daughter had opinions about her grandfather and grandmother, so she only said: "She fights with Xuanxuan everywhere, and she doesn't look like a sister at all, but Xuanxuan lets her everywhere, she is not satisfied, and she is picky!" ”

"Sister, children's family, which one is not a favor? I made a big noise, and I thought something was going on! Qiu Niang said with a smile, while joking Xie Xuan said: "Xuanxuan is like a little adult, not only does she not like to fight for things, but she knows how to respect adults." The bottle of grease I gave me yesterday was really useful, I used it, and my face didn't dry all day yesterday. I applied a thin layer on my hands before going to bed last night, and this morning I will be almost healed when I wake up! It's really a good thing, no wonder it's expensive in the rouge shop! ”

Lin also smiled and said, "Yes! I also tried it yesterday, and it is better than the five-flower grease I bought in the rouge shop last time! After wiping it, my face was soft, moisturized, and a little whiter. I can't even use good things! ”

Xie Wang, who was patting Li Lian on the back to comfort her, couldn't help but turn his head and smile: "It's good for me to use it, I don't do it all day, and it's fragrant." I heard Xuanxuan say that it was changed by Dr. Liu, which is of course better than what is sold in the rouge shop. ”

Hui Niang was persuaded by the three of them for a few words, and gradually lost her anger, so she glanced at Li Lian, "Lian'er, good things, Xuanxuan also gave you two bottles, one bottle to wipe your face, and one bottle to wipe your hands." Why do you always find fault with your sister, and why are you dissatisfied? ”

Seeing that her grandmother and aunt were coming, Li Lian became a little more emboldened, and whimpered and said, "I asked for it myself, not what she was willing to give!" ”

When Xie Xuan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Second sister, I really don't want to give it to you, you can't get it if you ask me ten thousand times!" ”

She couldn't help but complain in her heart, this bear child, at a young age, has this kind of "I borrowed money with my ability, why should I pay you back!" "The rogue instinct should not be underestimated when growing up!

Hui Niang said: "Xuanxuan, don't let her keep going!" She is your sister, where is the reason to let your sister always let her sister! ”

Xie Xuan said obediently: "Mother, the second sister is just a little more competitive, I don't have a lot of work with you on weekdays, and I don't know how much you have suffered in the Li family, so you should let some go." ”

When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but praise her for being sensible.

"Who wants you to pretend to be a good person!" Li Lian was so angry that she jumped up from Xie Wang's arms, pointed at Xie Xuan and scolded: "If it weren't for the fact that you pretended to be sensible all day long, competing to sleep with your mother, and secretly talking to your mother in the middle of the night, making your mother tired of me, where would there be today!" My mother has never beaten me, just because of you, my mother scolded me several times, and slapped me today! ”

Saying that, Li Lian really felt that she was extremely wronged, and said while crying: "Just you!" You're sensible! You're smart! We are all elm pimple fools, grandpa and grandma and aunt all like you, we can't compare to you! If you have the ability, you can pretend not to show your stuff for the rest of your life, I will see how long you can pretend! ”

At any time, adults never take children's disputes seriously, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Xie Wang smiled: "Ouch, this is disgusting our partiality!" Okay, okay, steam an egg custard for us Lian'er this morning, no one has it, just our Lian'er has it, okay! ”

Qiu Niang stepped forward and poked Li Lian's little nose and scolded her: "Little Lian'er, you are competing with Xuanxuan for favor!" Okay, in the future, you will sleep with your aunt in a bed, let's not want your mother, okay? ”

Lin couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, if you sleep with your concubine, you can still listen to your two cousins talk in their dreams and recite poems in the middle of the night!" ”

Xie Xuan pretended to be generous and said: "Since the second sister wants to sleep with her mother, I will sleep with the eldest sister in the future!" ”

Hui Niang sighed helplessly and said, "Lian'er, you are also eight years old this year, you should understand something!" Why don't you learn from your sister and let me worry less......"

After some joking and persuasion, Li Lian gradually stopped crying, only occasionally glancing at Xie Xuan with a little hatred in her eyes.

Xie Xuan didn't see it.
