Chapter 36: The Burden
Xia Ruixi pulled Xia Ruibei, who had finished dressing, to look at it, and pretended to smile briskly: "Beibei is getting more and more beautiful, big girl." ”
Xia Ruibei pursed her lips and smiled lonely, and said softly, "What's the use of being beautiful?" If only I had listened to you and understood some things sooner. ”
Xia Ruixi comforted her: "Don't worry, there will always be a day when the sun rises in Yunkai." ”
Xia Ruibei smiled bitterly: "Do you also believe that there will really be such a day?" ”
Xia Ruixi said resolutely: "I believe it." Not only do I believe it, but we all have to believe that there is such a day, and we can't collapse before we last minute. ”
Xia Ruibei pondered for a moment: "The second brother-in-law is a good person. But he's afraid that his family won't be able to help us, right? My father and mother are now pinning their hopes on them and their uncles, but I know that no one can be trusted. ”
Thinking of what Ou Qingjin analyzed with her, Xia Ruixi was suddenly speechless.
"I don't mean anything else, the second brother-in-law is very good, your luck is really good. No matter how things turn out, I respect him very much, at least he stands up and helps us with housework and plans. ”
Xia Ruibei looked at Xia Ruixi, with an unknown light in her eyes: "In the past, I always resented my parents because I couldn't get out of the marriage. Now I understand that it's not their fault, but the way of the world, no money, no money, no power, no fame and no power! It's the rights that matter. ”
"No, rights are just a part of life, and the most important thing is that people should live happily and comfortably." Xia Ruixi feels that today's Xia Ruibei is very different, rights are important, but they should never be the whole of life.
"Life safety is no longer guaranteed, how can you be happy!" Xia Ruibei looked away, "Let's go see my father and brother together, right?" You've been delaying with me for so long, you must have been anxious for a long time. ”
Xia Ruixi sighed secretly, grabbed her, and said very seriously: "Beibei, I also care about you, I hope you are well." No matter what unpleasantness there was before, we were always sisters, a family, flesh and blood, and I will never forget it. ”
Xia Ruibei smiled faintly: "I know." I said to you before, I only hated that I wasn't a man, and it's still the same thing. ”
Master Xia hugged Xia Ruiyu and half lay on the soft floor, searched his intestines and scraped his belly, and clumsily told some folk tales to Xia Ruiyu: "There was a group of people sitting in a shack in the mountains to cook edamame beans to eat, and then a person came. Ask to eat edamame with them. The man ate so fast that he quickly ate all the edamame beans in the pot, and the people muttered, how could he eat so quickly? But it's hard to say. At this time, someone found that the man was pushing edamame shells in front of him, all of them were full, and he didn't eat all the rice in them at all. Looking at it again, it turned out that the person had no chin, and the edamame was fed into his mouth and fell out directly. ”
Xia Ruiyun wrapped a white cloth around his forehead, his big eyes flickered, listening intently to Master Xia's story, and asked curiously: "Is that a ghost?" Do ghosts really have no jaws? Daddy? Have you ever seen a ghost? Isn't it fierce and scary? ”
Master Xia pondered for a moment and whispered: "Sometimes people are more vicious and terrifying than ghosts. ”
Xia Ruixi stood at the door, listening to the conversation between the old and the young, and his heart was sour. Xia Ruibei leaned against the door frame, her eyes drifting into the distance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xia Ruiyu suddenly saw Xia Ruixi standing at the door, cheered, and wanted to jump off the soft collapse: "Second sister, you are here!" What about the second brother-in-law? He said yesterday that he would take me to your hot spring village to see the fish. He frowned as he held his head.
Xia Ruixi stepped forward quickly and touched his head: "Does it still hurt badly?" Your second brother-in-law has something to do, and I'll take you there early in the morning when you're well, okay? ”
Xia Ruiyu smiled sensibly: "It's been a long time since it doesn't hurt, Daddy's medicine is very useful, don't you worry, didn't you also be cured by Daddy in the past?" You're still not at ease? He looked at Xia Ruibei again and smiled: "Third sister, why don't you rest for a while?" I worked hard for you last night. ”
Xia Ruibei touched his head lovingly, and reached out to help him: "I'm resting." Daddy is tired, don't argue with Daddy, let Daddy and the second sister talk, come, slow down, let's go next door, I'll read to you. ”
Xia Ruixi also said: "I'll come to see you later, I bought you something fun." ”
"Then you have to hurry! I have something to say to you. Xia Ruiyu reluctantly followed Xia Ruibei.
"Daddy." Xia Ruixi took Old Man Xia's hand, looked at his gray sideburns, and his face that was obviously a lot older, and smiled brightly: "Don't worry, if there is us." ”
Master Xia smiled and patted her hands: "Qing Jin and Mu Fei are very good friends, right?" ”
Xia Ruixi nodded: "What's wrong?" ”
"You let Qing Jin tell him, begging him to accept Rui Yu as an apprentice and take Rui Yu away, right? I'll give him this if he wants to. ”
Master Xia took out a few pieces of paper from under the pillow. "Twenty thousand taels of gold. As long as Rui Yu can get through this level and survive, these are all his, and he will come with two shops and several mansions in the south. ”
Thinking of the possibility of losing the cute and well-behaved Xia Ruixi, Xia Ruixi shuddered: "Daddy! Your daughter is useless, it's your daughter who drags you down and drags down the family. "If her predecessor hadn't been entangled with Zhao Mingtao, and if she hadn't married into the Ou family, wouldn't the situation be better? Even though she knew that it wasn't exactly like that, she couldn't help but blame herself.
Master Xia knew what she wanted to say, and touched her hair lovingly: "Silly child, what are you talking about?" If Qing Jin hears this, it will be very hurtful. It's not your fault, it's Daddy's fault. Daddy doesn't know how to hide it. ”
When they were young and frivolous, they always wanted to return to their hometown, and they always wanted to raise their eyebrows in front of those who bullied their orphans and widows, but they didn't know the truth of going too far, and when they got older, they knew that they wanted to cover it up, but they couldn't hide it. It is a sin in itself to have more wealth and not be able to protect it.
Xia Ruixi held back his tears: "Qing Jin asked people to inquire about what the surnamed Zhao wanted, as long as the news arrived, I asked him to come over and discuss with you immediately, as long as the other party still has requirements, things will take a turn for the better." ”
Master Xia closed his eyes: "What do you want?" If you want money, if you want revenge, you don't have to ask, I know it. "He guessed that Zhao Mingtao must be planning to squeeze out the Xia family's money, and then poison him." What happened to the Ou family now? ”
Xia Ruixi cheered up and made a relaxed look: "Uncle sent a letter from the capital, and the situation seems to be fine." ”
Master Xia saw through her pretense of relaxation at a glance, but he didn't break it: "That's fine." If in the future...... One day, you take care of your mother more, she has been with me all my life, and I didn't enjoy the blessings, but I suffered a lot. Beibei thinks a little more and makes mistakes, but she is always your sister, she is very pitiful, you must treat her well, find her a good mother-in-law, and don't let her suffer and be angry. Rui Yu, find him a good daughter-in-law in the future, nothing else, as long as he lives safely. Qing Jin is a good person, be kind to him and be kind to yourself. Your eldest sister, I don't have anything to worry about. ”
Hearing this last words, Xia Ruixi was anxious and panicked: "Dad, you ......"
Master Xia waved his hand tiredly: "Go out, I'm tired, remember what I told you, find a way to hurry up and do it, let Rui Yu leave early...... " Xia Rui Yu left, he just happened to deal with some things.
Xia Ruibei stood under the window, tears flowed all over her face unconsciously, and when she heard Master Xia let Xia Ruixi go, she wiped her face fiercely, turned around and walked into the next room: "Rui Yan, what do you want to eat?" The third sister will do it for you. ”
Xia Ruiyu smiled slightly: "Third sister, can you rest for a while?" Cut people with a sword, make trouble all morning, and your hands are not sore? ”
Xia Ruibei blushed, "How do you know?" ”
Xia Ruiyu blinked slyly: "Why do you think I'm here?" It's just to pester my father! You're amazing. ”
Ou Qing invited Mu Fei to drink and said Master Xia's words as they were. "I know you don't care about your wealth, but this is the old man's heart and the feeling of cherishing his son. If there's something offended, don't care. ”
Ou Qingjin knew that Mu Fei was used to being free, and he didn't like anyone to follow him the most, at that time, Ah Ke begged to learn martial arts from him, but he refused to agree, and now he is willing to agree to take over the big burden of Xia Ruiyu, it is still an unknown: "I know that you are used to being comfortable, and you don't like to be dragged down." But the situation is special, you can also see the situation in his family, the heirs are thin, uncles, aunts and cousins, none of them can be relied on, and there is a layer of separation in the family. Hee Hee is pregnant again...... I can't take care of this end, I can't take care of that end, and I can't find someone who can be trusted, and I pull you into such a thing, and it's really a bit ...... to have such a heavy entrustment."
Ou Qing wanted to say "I'm sorry" and felt that his friendship with Mu Fei didn't seem to be able to say this, so he said: "I promise that as soon as the situation is stable, I'll pick him up, where do you like to go or where you go, usually if you want to teach him a little self-defense, teach him, if he is annoying, as long as he can live." In the end, he couldn't help but get up and give Mu Fei a deep look: "Please." ”
Mu Fei looked at the stack of papers in a daze, there were too many burdens in his previous life, so heavy that he almost couldn't breathe. I was so tired that I dreamed of dying and freed, but I had to live in pain. Finally came to this world, has a strong kung fu, no home, no worries, he doesn't want to have any burden and ties, so he refuses to have someone always behind him, so he refuses the enthusiasm and expectation of a beautiful girl.
Ou Qingjin is his only friend, but he enjoys the happiness and warmth of friendship more from Ou Qingjin than as a responsibility. He wanted to see Ou Qingjin, he wanted to find someone to talk to, Ou Qingjin received him happily and courteously, he wanted to leave, he left in style, Ou Qingjin would never force him to stay. In the interaction between the two, everything is according to the original intention, and no one will force anyone to do what the other person is not willing to do. The so-called righteousness, for him, is like a floating cloud in the name of a false name.
Speaking of which, Ou Qingjin begged him so solemnly, or once, it was all for her.
Mu Fei was in pain and conflicted.
