043 Uninvited guests
Xiao Ling'er took Xiaoqin all the way home, she didn't speak, but Xiaoqin next to her blushed face, her emotions were complicated, she secretly glanced at her sister on the side several times, and she held a lot of words in her throat but didn't know how to say it.
Xiao Ling'er was careful, and naturally sensed Xiaoqin's emotions, so she simply slowed down her pace a little and opened her mouth first, "Xiaoqin, what I just said is not angry words, but really what I think in my heart." ”
"Sister......" Xiaoqin didn't expect that what she was thinking was guessed by her sister, she raised her head, she still didn't quite understand her sister's decision, "But sister, after all, ...... We're still a family. ”
"Not anymore." Xiao Ling'er's voice was deep, with undoubted determination.
She stopped, turned to the violin to the side, and took her shoulder.
Now that it has been decided to keep Xiaoqin, these words should also be made clear. This time, Luo Qiaoqiao took a fancy to Xiaoqin's soft-heartedness, kindness and deception, and asked Xiao Zhuang to play the family card, which made Xiaoqin in a dilemma.
This is the first time, if these words are not understood, sooner or later there will be a next time, Xiao Ling'er does not want this disaster to stay forever.
"Xiaoqin, what I just said is not only for them, but also for you. We did take the surname Xiao, but did they really treat us as daughters? Think about it, what parents would be ruthless enough to sell their daughters for their sons. My blood relationship with the Xiao family has been completely broken since I married out of the Xiao family that day. I hope you can see that too. ”
It's a pity that Xiao Ling'er is not a person of this era, but Xiaoqin was born here and grew up here, and she has probably heard of this kind of thing before she experienced it personally. The idea of male superiority and inferiority of women is still somewhat left in everyone's heart, and Xiaoqin is naturally not as resistant as her. Although he was sad, he still didn't despair of the Xiao family.
"But sister, sister-in-law sometimes does something wrong, but after all, my father and mother gave birth to us, how can we criticize my father and mother as children. Especially my father, when I used to be sick, he was also ......"
"I know that you think Xiao Zhuang is good, but aside from the relationship that he is our father, think about it again, what did he really care about you?" Xiao Ling'er interrupted her, she really didn't want to hear anything good about the Xiao family.
With such a superb relative, she is not as good as being an orphan.
But Xiaoqin couldn't figure out how her sister could call her father's name so calmly and coldly.
"Xiaoqin, I only ask you, are you willing to follow me or go back to the Xiao family."
"Of course I'm willing to follow my sister."
Xiaoqin did not hesitate to ask this question. In less than a month in Anding Village, she has ever lived the happiest days. She never knew that her life could be so easy, her mother-in-law was so kind, her sister and elder brother took care of her everywhere, and most of the people in the village greeted her with a smile.
It's not like at home at all, there is endless work to do every day, A-Niang and sister-in-law will be angry with her if they are a little uncomfortable, and the second brother is short-tempered, and sometimes beats and scolds her. Especially after her sister left, she didn't even have a person to talk to, her father would only let her endure it, and all her pain could only be swallowed in her stomach.
She would definitely prefer to stay in Anding Village than at home.
"Okay, that's all I want from you." Xiao Ling'er nodded, "Xiaoqin, I know that you are a smart person, since you have made this decision, you should learn to weigh the pros and cons." If you are in a dilemma on both sides like this, not only will you not be able to fill the bottomless pit of the Xiao family, but you will also drag down us in Anding Village, so that your mother-in-law and Changsheng will not be stable. You should understand this, right? ”
"I ...... I know. Xiaoqin's voice was a little quieter, no matter how stupid she was, she always understood this truth.
Changsheng and her mother-in-law have given so much to Yaotian, she naturally doesn't want to drag them down because of herself.
"It's good to know." Xiao Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't ask you to be like me, but I hope that in the future, you can think carefully about what I have said in everything you do." If there's something you can't decide, don't hide it from me, we'll all help you solve it together. ”
"I know what to do, sister." This time, Xiaoqin's voice finally became firm, maybe she really couldn't be as decisive as her sister to the Xiao family, but in front of the Xiao family and her sister, she still knew very well which side she should help. "Don't worry, sister, I won't let such a thing happen again, and I will tell you as soon as possible next time."
"Okay." Xiao Ling'er reached out and touched her head, in this matter, she actually believed in Xiaoqin.
At least this time, Xiaoqin was so persecuted by the Xiao family, but she still didn't use the money she gave to Aunt Hua and Aunt Cui, which can prove that she is sincere to this sister in her heart. It's just that I don't know when she will be able to mature a little more and see people's hearts more thoroughly.
Xiao Ling'er sighed secretly and continued to walk in the direction of home.
Luo Qiaoqiao's character, although she doesn't know much about it, but there are a lot of memories about her in the original body, this woman is smart and cunning, and her flaws will be rewarded, this time she didn't ask for anything cheap from them, and she was threatened, I'm afraid she won't stop so easily.
What's more, the situation of the Xiao family has not been very good, she, the Xiao family, is a way to make money that cannot be let go in the eyes of Luo Qiaoqiao and Sun Cuiyang today, this time it was not successful, and it is inevitable that there will be a next time.
It seems that she needs to watch out for them. If...... It would be good if she could take this opportunity to let Xiaoqin see the people of the Xiao family clearly and cut off her thoughts.
Xiao Ling'er thought about this, but she didn't say anything, just took Xiaoqin back home.
This time, they tacitly did not mention it to their mother-in-law, so as not to increase their worries.
However, just gave the Xiao family a dismount, thinking that in the near future, Luo Qiaoqiao and the others didn't dare to make any moves, so Xiao Ling'er put her mind on the medicine field.
During this time, she took care of all the places she found in the back mountain, and the medicinal materials in Baicaotang arrived on time, and when Xiao Ling'er went to pick them up, the shopkeeper was all ready.
This time, she didn't see Mei Chengan again, and when she heard the shopkeeper mention it, he rarely went out anymore, and most of the things were handled in the Mei Mansion.
Also, it's already winter, Mei Cheng'an is riddled with cold and illness, and he had an attack a month ago, I don't know how much it will affect him, in cold weather like this, he will not go out easily, so as not to be contaminated with the cold again.
I don't know why, Xiao Ling'er originally wanted to ask Mei Cheng'an's condition on the other hand, but she hesitated, but still gave up.
The Mei family is so big, and there are so many doctors with superb medical skills, she just has some research on medicinal herbs, and she really can't praise it for seeing and treating diseases, and she shouldn't be able to come up with any ideas for diseases that even those doctors can't cure.
Thinking so, she finally remained silent, didn't ask anything, and only returned to Anding Village with her own seedlings.
She didn't waste much time, and soon planted all the seedlings in the field, not to mention, the cave was already cold, and as soon as the weather entered winter, it was even colder, and she could feel the cold air burrowing into her neck while wrapped in a big cotton jacket.
However, she still insisted that the medicine field be handled by herself. Although the medicines picked and planted in Anding Village can bring some income, because she takes care of the people in the same village, she has always kept her profits very low, and the rest of it is already very insignificant to use it for procurement and household use, and if she wants to make more money, she has to focus on this medicine field.
Fortunately, this place is indeed competitive, the land is fertile and the water flow is sufficient and convenient, and most of the herbs planted are easy to take care of, and most of them should be able to be stocked.
Although it was the first time she tried, Xiao Ling'er still didn't dare to grow expensive herbs such as immortal grass, but like Atractylodes, it can be sold when it is harvested, and it can also be a lot of money.
The days are getting colder and colder, the last time she traded with Mei Cheng'an with a waterwheel, although she was finally involved in the Mei family, she finally saved a lot of money that was originally going to be used to purchase seedlings, and Xiao Ling'er took these to buy thicker clothes for her mother-in-law and each of them.
Changsheng and Xiaoqin happily put on their bodies when they took it, but their mother-in-law thought too much and hesitated a little when they took it, "Ling'er, didn't you just buy cloth and make new clothes in autumn?" Why did you buy it again? ”
"It's been very cold this winter, so it's always right to wear thicker, not to mention that this is the first year that the four of us have spent together in the old house, so it's always decent."
"But ......," the mother-in-law sighed, "even if it is this time, these should be saved in the future, and now the medicinal fields on the back mountain are more expensive than ordinary medicinal materials, and all the efforts of this turnover will take money." Moreover, the day is getting colder and colder, and most of the people in the village who originally went up to the mountain herbs have rested. ”
The mother-in-law is in charge of the silver in the family, and she knows best how much more and less she has. Xiao Ling'er thought about it, and nodded her head and comforted her mother-in-law, "Don't worry, the rest is to save some money, the money saved a while ago will survive this year, and it will be better when the spring starts next year, it's a big deal, I'll find a way when the time comes." ”
"You, you worry about things the most, but you also think the most." Granny Su shook her head helplessly, and also understood that Ling Er had her plans in her heart, so she didn't say anything more, put away her clothes, and walked to the back kitchen, intending to take out the noon food, but she didn't expect to take two steps, but she heard a voice shouting outside, as if calling them, "Disturb, is anyone there?" ”
