Chapter Twenty-Six: Painstaking Efforts
Xia Ruixi knows that the contradiction between the long room and the second room has been around for a long time, and there are constant conflicts between large and small rooms. This incident was just an opportunity for Mrs. Xia to carefully design, patiently wait for a long time, and completely attack the Wang family. Don't say that the Wang family is self-defeating this time, she just doesn't create trouble, and Mrs. Xia will also create an opportunity to lure her out to make trouble.
Uncle Xia has always been a prodigal, he likes cockfighting and dogs, gambling with people to drink flowers and wine, and when he has no money, he will take sheep everywhere at home, whether you are in the old lady's room or in the brother's room, you will take it when you see it. Wang's love is to compete with others and fight for wealth, to praise high and low, to be a soft ear, and a useless one. She was lucky, she gave birth to three sons in a row, and she felt that she was a few levels higher than Mrs. Xia, who gave birth to three daughters in a row, and she was a great hero of the Xia family. For a while, even the old lady didn't pay attention to her, and she was cleaned up by the old lady a few times before she was born.
These two people have to spend the money earned by Mr. and Mrs. Xia with peace of mind, and they also want to see Mrs. Xia as the housekeeper in power, and they think that there is less for them, which is not good, and they always have to find a reason to make a scene. The three sons they raised all studied in the clan studies, but none of them succeeded, and none of them were admitted to the exam.
The boss Xia Ruizhu has been reading books for more than ten years, and he has not grown at all. Master Xia saw that his study was hopeless, and after getting married, he asked him to follow him to learn to do business, but after studying for three years, he let him do it for the first time, and he folded five thousand taels of silver to Master Xia. Master Xia didn't say anything yet, the Wang family didn't give up on it first, it had to be said that Master Xia was selfish and wanted to monopolize the business, not really teaching her son to do business, and deliberately made such a business destined to lose money for Xia Ruizhu, just to squeeze Xia Ruizhu out. completely forgot that the Xia family had already been defeated before she married in, or it would not have been her turn to marry a daughter like her. The current family business and that business were originally earned by Master Xia himself, and her whole family was stained with others.
Uncle Xia is no longer a person, and Master Xia cares about brotherhood and does not make the old lady sad. Seeing that his eldest nephew was not a businessman, he took his second nephew Xia Ruiyan out to do business. Xia Ruiyan is an alternative to the long house, as if all the shrewd calculations of the family were born to him alone, and he quickly learned to be handy, but he did not become a good helper of Master Xia, but became a big heart. Anything that passes through his hands, even if it is an iron plate, must be scraped off two taels of rust. married a wife, three points more powerful than him.
Wang's third son, a few months older than Xia Ruixi, is more pampered than Xia Ruixi's lone seedling, a sixteen-year-old man, who is still pulling Wang's coquettish and foolish every day. is also not yet married, high or low, threatens not to marry, is lazy to do, does not succeed in studying, does not learn business, and goes out with Uncle Xia to gamble and play tricks, and fights with others.
The only benefit that Master Xia has received from supporting the family for one or two decades is that these three nephews have great respect for him on the surface. When the Wang family made trouble, they all helped the second room to persuade the Wang family, of course, what their real thoughts and purposes were, only they themselves know.
Xia Ruixi estimated that most of the time he couldn't escape a sharp word. She is usually very afraid of dealing with people in the long house, and she has always wondered why Mr. and Mrs. Xia are so tolerant of such rice worms. Later, I learned that Mrs. Xia was thinking about the big house, but she was afraid that the second room would not care about the big house, and if she didn't die for a day, the family would not be able to divide it, and she would have to bear what she deserved.
Xia Ruibei ran in and out to bring tea to Mrs. Xia and rubbed her shoulders, and said admiringly: "Mother, you are so amazing." I can't get used to it for a long time, obviously the money is earned by my father, some people rely on their own two years early, no income of a penny, the family eats white food, but gambles every day, losers losers, and make fortune. Eat fragrant and drink spicy, everything is the best, everything goes to your own house, and from time to time you have to come out to make trouble, completely do not look at the hard work of you and your father, just when she deserves everything, only when she has those sons, it is amazing, and grandma always protects. White-eyed wolf, in the future, we will come out of Ruiyu, and we won't be angry with her. ”
Mrs. Xia smeared medicine on Liniang's swollen face, and scolded in a low voice: "These words were said by your junior? Not a spark of decency! Seeing that Xia Ruixi was still standing in the courtyard and commanding the girl, he beckoned to her lovingly: "Xixi, the weather is so cold, I have been standing here for a long time, and I am not afraid of getting sick." The hand stove is cold, right? Come on in. Today, the three of us have lunch together. ”
Xia Ruixi walked in quickly: "Mother, my daughter is worried, grandma didn't seem to be happy just now?" ”
Mrs. Xia smiled lightly, unspeakably helpless: "She has been unhappy for more than ten years. Xia Ruixi guessed that Mrs. Xia still had a sentence that did not come out, "If your grandmother is happy, I am the one who fainted today." ”
Xia Ruixi leaned against her and sighed: "Mother, could it be that in the future, we all have to be like this?" Mrs. Xia took her and Xia Ruibei to see this action, the purpose could not be clearer, it was just a vivid lesson prepared for their future life in the in-law's family.
Mrs. Xia hugged her and Xia Ruibei in her arms, and said in a low voice: "It's good that you two understand your mother's hard work." It's hard to be a woman, it's hard to be a daughter-in-law, and it's even more bitter if you can't give birth to a son. Now, I only hope that your sister will have a big fat son in her first child. If you two can live in harmony, you will live a happy and sweet life in the future, and your brother will be born, and I will not ask for anything. ”
The three of them hugged each other, a rare harmony, Xia Ruibei even reached out to pull Xia Ruixi's hand: "Second sister, I was wrong." I was ignorant before, can you forgive me? ”
Sighing that everyone is a woman and was born in this difficult era, Xia Ruixi felt sympathy for the same fate, and smiled and held Xia Ruibei's hand: "We are sisters, I won't blame you." Mother is too hard, let's not let her worry about it in the future. ”
Xia Ruibei nodded yes, hugged Mrs. Xia tightly, and buried her head in her arms: "Mother, my daughter won't let you worry about it in the future." ”
Mrs. Xia touched her head approvingly: "You are all conceived and born in October, and you will never favor one over the other." It's just that your personalities are different, and your mother's way of treating you is also different, but it's all for your good. ”
"Today I punish you, not just for others. Indeed, there is a real intention to punish you. You must remember that those who can convince the people do not do what they think, but they must not make any mistakes in order to convince the people. Beibei must complain about why I killed Hong'er, right? ”
Xia Ruibei's eyes flashed and she shook her head: "My daughter doesn't complain." Mother-in-law naturally has the truth of mother-in-law. ”
Mrs. Xia said: "If a girl like Hong'er stays by your side, sooner or later she will cause you a big disaster!" Zou's today is a portrayal of her tomorrow! Can such a person stay with you? And Hong'er has become like this, you also have an unshirkable responsibility! So what I want to tell you is that the master has the responsibility of the master, and the slave has the duty of a slave. You can't even manage the people around you, how can you manage others? In this regard, you should really learn from your second sister. You can't be a person and do things with momentary courage, you have to use your brain! ”
Xia Ruixi secretly smiled bitterly, Mrs. Xia is the person they should learn the most. Mrs. Xia is usually tolerant of Changfang, and she doesn't say much, she is gentle and polite. Secretly, Nagafang's every move fell into her eyes, just waiting for such a suitable opportunity to attack with full power. In one sentence, this way of doing things is, "I don't usually mess with you, if you like to make a small fuss, you make trouble." Others will only say that you are boring, and I am generous. When I seize the opportunity, I will slap you to death again, so that you can't cry and never turn over. ”
Xia Ruibei pursed her lips and said in a weird way: "The second sister fell this time, but she fell a lot smarter, as if she had changed a person." She designed several times in a row to make Xia Ruixi ugly and scolded, and the effect didn't seem to be obvious at all.
Xia Ruixi's heart jumped suddenly, and he was busy looking at Mrs. Xia's face, seeing that Mrs. Xia's expression was unpredictable, he didn't dare to say more, but lowered his head: "I am far less clever than your second sister." When my aunt was about to faint, I was in a hurry, but there was nothing I could do. Or the second sister has many ways. ”
Mrs. Xia said: "Don't talk about these things that are not available. You are all big girls, learn how to take care of the house, it will only be good for you. ”
While talking, the girls set up the meal, and as soon as the three of them ate a few bites, Li Niang came in and said, "I'm awake over there, and I'm making a fuss." Those who seek death and life speak very ugly. ”
"What did she say?" Xia Ruibei raised her eyebrows. Xia Ruixi also hurriedly followed and came out with an extremely angry face.
Li Niang glanced at Mrs. Xia in embarrassment, and when she saw that Mrs. Xia was not angry, she said in a low voice: "Scold our side, scold the old lady for being partial, and say, saying that she will go to the grave in the future, sacrifice or something, and rely on her son." This is really too much, don't we also have a fourth young master? ”
Mrs. Xia didn't raise her head: "It's not the first time she's made trouble." If she likes to make trouble, the New Year is approaching, and naturally someone will take care of her. ”
After the three of them finished eating, Mrs. Xia helped her forehead: "My head hurts a little." ”
Xia Ruixi hurriedly helped her lie down: "I must be tired, and I was blown by the cold wind again." Liniang, go and get a doctor. ”
Xia Ruibei's face changed and pulled Xia Ruixi: "It's all the white-eyed wolf who made trouble, wait for us to clean her up." ”
Mrs. Xia shouted angrily: "Don't go!" If you dare to disgrace me, I will deny you. ”
As she was talking, the girl in the old lady's room came to invite, "Second lady, old lady, please come over." ”
Xia Ruibei said angrily: "Something that has no eyes! Don't you see that I'm sick? ”
The girl rubbed the corners of her clothes in embarrassment and whispered, "The old lady said, no matter what, you must ask the second lady to come over, she has urgent matters to explain." ”
Mrs. Xia had to sit up, Liniang's eyes turned red instantly, and Xia Ruixi had an idea: "My mother is sick, I'll go with you." He turned back to Mrs. Xia and smiled: "Mother, you can lie down in peace." The daughter goes to see what grandma has and can do, and the daughter will do it, and if she can't do it, the daughter will come back and ask you. ”
Mrs. Xia nodded, "Li Niang, get a thick cloak for the second miss." ”
Xia Ruixi wanted to say no, but Liniang couldn't help but say that she put a thick fox fur on her, stuffed a hand stove in her arms, and whispered: "Second Miss, when you get over there, be patient." ”
It's just a few yards apart, how can it be like going out of the door. Xia Ruixi didn't know why, but she also knew that it was for her good. When she arrived at the old lady's courtyard, the girl went to report, and a little girl held the door and refused to let her in: "The old lady has confessed, she has to recite the scriptures at this time, and no one is allowed to disturb her." If someone wants to see her, just wait. When she finishes reading, she will naturally come out. "Don't let Xia Ruixi enter the door, just let her stand in the yard and blow the cold wind.
