Aunt Xue was invited out of the courtyard by the red jade summoned by Mo Li in Zhu's sentence of "do what the eldest girl wants".

Xue Lin, who had been stunned for a long time and didn't dare to squeak, walked up to Mo Li's side lightly and said cautiously: "Cousin seems to be in a bad mood today." ”

Mo Li glanced at it and didn't speak, Xue Lin bit her lip and lowered her eyes: "Is my cousin also angry with me?" ”

Mo Li raised her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Why am I angry with you?" ”

"I, I...... is also surnamed Xue. Xue Lin lowered her face and muttered, her voice was controlled just right, and it would definitely be heard by the Zhu family, who had just turned around and entered the back room. is still playing with her this little bit of caution, so many years this aunt and nephew have been acting like this, really she didn't see it. Mo Li smiled, then took Xue Lin's hand, softened his tone, and raised his voice: "You are my cousin, my wife's niece, not comparable to others." Besides, my wife has always treated you as a daughter, and she doesn't always look at me when she eats and wears on weekdays. It's just that my wife's health has never been very good, and it is inevitable that there will be things that I can't care about, so if you feel that you have been wronged on weekdays, or the maids are neglected, you must not hide it in your heart alone, you must tell me. By the way, I have already explained the Ruan yarn I chose for you that day, let the tailor make it for you first, it is estimated that Ming'er will have to send it over, if you don't look good at it then, just ask them to change it, don't be polite. ”

"Lili is right." Before Mo Li's words fell, Zhu Shi turned around and walked up to Xue Lin and said softly, "You kid just likes to think a lot on weekdays, and you don't like to open your mouth to say anything about something, what does Aunt Xue's matter have to do with you just now, why did you think about yourself, or have you suffered any grievances in the past few days?" ”

Xue Lin hurriedly shook her head: "Aunt misunderstood, I am, I'm afraid that my aunt will be tired of me......"

"You kid, how can you think like that?" Zhu said that he was going to pull her into the house and sit down. Mo Li looked at Xue Lin and smiled, and then Zhu's words said: "This is your fault, she is an aunt, you are a girl, understand?" There is something wrong with the aunt, and the wife can say a few words. And you, even if you don't think about your wife's heart to take care of you all these years, you shouldn't compare yourself with an aunt! ”

Such an understatement not only erased her pity and guilt that she wanted to arouse Zhu's pity, but also implied that she was not only ungrateful but also did not know how to respect herself. Xue Lin met Mo Li's eyes in surprise, but saw that those eyes were full of sincere smiles, but that kind of smile made her feel shocked. Her cousin has been treating her as kindly as before, but she always feels that something is different, and the feeling of ease she used to have seemed to be gradually invalidating in front of her cousin.

"Cousin taught me a lesson." Xue Lin hurriedly lowered her eyes and answered softly.

"In the future, I will remember in my heart, you must know that in this family, let alone the wife, even the old man and the old lady are very sorry for you." As she spoke, Mo Li raised her hand to smooth her hair hanging down on her sideburns, and continued, "Go, it's my aunt and nephew, you have always been by her side since you were a child, you will go and say a few thoughtful words to you." ”

Xue Lin opened her lips, and didn't know how to respond for a while, Mo Li smiled and said: "One yard to one yard, I said Aunt Xue today, but I didn't want you to stay away from her in the future, understand." ”

Xue Lin nodded, knowing in her heart that it was useless for her to stay here, and she also felt that she really should think about it, why the things that she was so optimistic about changed when they came.

After Xue Lin left, Zhu glanced at Mo Li, and Mo Li stepped forward and grabbed her arm and said, "I'll help my mother go back to the house to rest." ”

"You kid ......" Zhu Shi entered the room with her and sat down at the big kang by the window, only to look at her and sigh helplessly, but then shook his head with a smile, "You kid, how did you say that just now." ”

"Mother mean those things I said to Aunt Xue?" Mo Li tried Zhu's tea, then got up and changed the hot tea.

"But no, how can your father have the intention of carrying another person into the door, and besides, this matter is not a trivial matter, how can you say it casually as a girl." Zhu shook his head, took the hot tea handed over by Mo Li, and continued, "My mother was shocked when I listened to it in the house just now, but fortunately, I went out in time to help you tell you what my mother meant." ”

Mo Li smiled: "I know that my mother will definitely speak for me, so I was bold." ”

Zhu said helplessly: "Can you also take care of the affairs in your father's house, be careful that the old lady knows about you." ”

Mo Li lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly, and after a while of silence, she said again: "It's just that my mother really doesn't plan to think about what I just said?" Isn't grandma also in a hurry, I know that grandma specifically said that you are here a few days ago. ”

Zhu was stunned, then slowly put down the teacup and sighed: "The old lady didn't mean me, she just asked a few more words." Zhu frowned slightly, there is always something wrong with saying such things to her own daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, but she has no one to talk about except for this sensible girl now.

"I know that my mother is so good to Aunt Xue, because I look at the face of my deceased aunt, in the end, it was the thread that my aunt pulled back then, and there is a layer of kiss, but in recent years, my mother has not seen Aunt Xue's temperament clearly. If you give one point, she can bully three points, and Dad is the same, even if he understands it in his heart, he can't stand his soft-heartedness. Mo Li frowned slightly as she spoke, and continued, "I'm older now, so my father and mother don't have to worry about me, but Xue'er is still young." Now she can hit the idea of what you specially left for Xue'er, even if you ignore her today, but after a long time, she chatters in her father's ear every day, and no one restricts her, if she really wants her to give birth to a younger brother for me in the future, according to her temperament, what will Xue'er do in the future? And grandma is getting older! ”

Zhu Shi was stunned for a moment and said: "If she can really give birth to a son for your father, the stone that has been hanging in my mother's heart for decades will have to be put down." ”

"Mother, don't you know, our Mo family needs incense, but it doesn't necessarily point at her! You pick another honest one, so that you can not only take care of the face of your relatives, but also prevent her from having any storms in the future, and besides, what I just said is right, she has been two years, and there is no news, you can find another one who can't say anything, and my father is now in his forties. ”

"You kid...... hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, but the more you talk about it, the thicker your skin becomes! ”

"Aren't I all sixteen, looking at the things in my eyes every day, what else do I not understand." Mo Li said in a low voice, "Besides, I told my mother, what are you afraid of." ”

Zhu Shi looked at his daughter's worried expression, so he had to say softly: "Mother understands your heart, and my mother has also mentioned this matter to your father, but your father said to wait and see, after all, this is also an expense, and this is not something that can be seen at a glance." Zhu sighed in his heart as he spoke, in fact, Mo Liujin felt that his health had not been very good recently, so he didn't even go to Aunt Xue's. But she couldn't tell her daughter-in-law about it, and the old lady didn't dare to reveal it, so she could only use the excuse of her poor health to quietly give Mo Liujin a decoction of medicine.

"Then you can't just let her go down." Mo Li thought for a while and said, "I just said that I would prepare a maid for Xue'er, my mother should think about it, Xue'er has been taken by her grandmother since she was a child, and she is mostly taken care of by Mother Liu." It's just that now Xue'er is six years old, and when I was five years old, didn't my mother already choose a special maid for me? Besides, there is a big girl in your house now, and after the ransom went out last year, you haven't added any more, so why not take this opportunity to let Ya Pozi lead someone over to have a look together. ”

Aunt Xue's matter is not worth her trouble, her mother just can't wipe her face and say, today she beat this time, and then Zhu Shi immediately added a maid to her house, which is enough for the woman to be uneasy. Just thinking of this, Mo Li sighed softly in her heart, in fact, what she hoped more was that her mother could give her a younger brother, but the Zhu family is now over forty, and her body has not been very good, if there is really a case, she can't afford it.

and her father, Mo Li suddenly remembered the tragic events of the year, and her heart throbbed violently.

Her father started from the trap before Han Sidao, and the debts on his body were snowballing, and finally he couldn't bear it, and he didn't know if he was secretly instigated by Han Sidao, so he had the absurd idea of gambling with his life. As a result, she was really carried back from the casino, and her family had to sell her property, and even the body that the old lady had saved for many years was taken out, so that the hole in the casino could barely be filled......

She couldn't let this happen again!

Zhu Shi thought about it and nodded: "You're right, you should find a maid for Xue'er, just find a companion, and it's good to play with her on weekdays." ”

Mo Li immediately said: "Then the mother will let Ya Po lead someone over in two days?" I'll pick one for Cher, too. ”

Zhu smiled: "Okay, just listen to you, you will talk to Xue'er later." ”

"By the way, mother, after my father comes back today, you can tell your father well, Aunt Xue can't be so indulgent all the time. Dad has soft ears, if you don't say it, then Aunt Xue only needs to find a chance to cry for a few days, and my call today will be in vain. ”

"You-my mother understands in my heart, you are still worried about your father, go ahead, didn't you say that you are going to make beef patties today, when is this?"

"I almost forgot, Aunt Gu is afraid that she is going to talk about me." Seeing that this matter was all said, Mo Li stood up with a smile, "Then I'll go to the kitchen first." ”

After coming out of the Zhu family, Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then called Hongdou and asked, "Cousin just went to Aunt Xue's side?" ”

"Yes, but I only went for a while before I came out."

Mo Li nodded, and while heading towards the kitchen, he thought about it in his heart, according to the previous calculations, Xue Lin should start to contact Han Sidao next, and the Xie family and the Yang family were about to start a new round of action.
