Chapter 34: Excuses
Mrs. Xia gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it is a repentance, it is better than letting my daughter be a widow!" β
Master Xia covered her mouth: "Bah, bah! Hugh for the New Year is nonsense! Isn't this still undecided? What if it's just a minor illness and spreads a lie? I've seen that kid before, it's not a short-lived appearance. β
Mrs. Xia broke off Master Xia's hand, punched him on the thick back, and sobbed: "It's all about you!" Minor ailments? Will his family be so anxious about a minor illness? Do you still look at your face? When you first got married, didn't you say that I would have ten or eight sons? The result? β
Master Xia glanced at Xia Ruixi, his face turned red, and he covered Mrs. Xia's mouth again: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of your daughter?" Look at you! The sky hasn't fallen yet, and everything is with me! What are you crying about? Like what words? Shut up now! β
Mrs. Xia bit her lip, endured strong tears, held back her crying, and her body trembled. Xia Ruixi stepped forward to support her, took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said softly: "In my opinion, it is a moment to drag it out." The young and the young are orderly, and the elder sister has not yet married, where is the reason why the younger sister will marry first? "It's best to delay until Sun Yi dies, and Xia Ruibei doesn't have to marry.
Master Xia's eyes lit up: "Yes!" I'm in a hurry, why didn't I think of such a good reason just now?! "Trotted away.
Mrs. Xia looked at Master Xia's back expectantly, but her mouth was unrelenting: "Xia Shuhuai, if you can't do this, don't come back!" I'm not done with you! β
At this time, Mrs. Xia did not look shrewd and powerful, but she was just an ordinary woman who relied on her husband wholeheartedly and was coquettish and stupid. Only a woman who is extremely pampered and cherished by her husband will have such a appearance. Xia Ruixi saw it in his eyes and was extremely envious. Master Xia, whether in this era or in the 21st century, is a rare top ten good husband and father. It is really rare to love his wife and children, value love and justice, dare to say and do, make money so that the whole family can live a comfortable life, and have the ability to protect his family from being bullied.
After Mrs. Xia finished playing the role of a wife, she turned her face to look at the servants waiting in the courtyard, and her face was frosty: "Today's matter, if anyone dares to spread it outside, hum ......"
Everyone was silent, and hurriedly expressed their loyalty.
The person sent to inquire about the news soon returned, and Sun Yi, the young master of the Sun family, was really sick. Since last spring, after contracting a wind chill, he has never felt better, and he has been getting thinner and thinner, and in the autumn he coughs every day, and now he is coughing up blood, and he doesn't dare to ask Master Xia to see a doctor, but he just makes the silver go around to ask for a doctor. Originally, his family occupied a medical Taoist saint like Master Xia, if he had invited him to take a look earlier, he would not have dragged it into this way. But it was because it didn't pay attention to it before, but later it was deliberately concealed for ulterior purposes.
Seeing that people were not good, the Sun family panicked, thinking about letting Xia Ruibei go to Chong Chongxi earlier, cook the raw rice into rice, and leave a queen for Sun Yi. Anyway, the two families have already decided to get married, Xia Ruibei thinks about her husband's body, and Chongxi should also be. Honest people are usually very good at talking, but once they get serious and admit their deaths, they are the least flexible and the most difficult to speak.
It is impossible to get out of the marriage, it can only be delayed. Master Xia's saliva was dry that day, and he finally sent the people of the Sun family away, and then returned to the inner courtyard, Xia Ruibei heard the news from somewhere, took a white silk, looked for the dead and lived, and made trouble for most of the night. Master Xia was anxious and angry, slapped her, and promised that she would not be allowed to suffer, so Xia Ruibei could be regarded as quiet.
Xia Ruixi saw the misfortune of Xuanliu and Xia Ruibei, and felt glad for her status as a leftover woman like never before. Hope is always better than no hope, imagine that she just came through, and met a fiancΓ© who had a concubine or was sick to death, she would definitely be even more sad than now.
Thinking about it, Xia Ruixi felt that God treated her well. The dead person was reborn, not to mention worry-free food and clothing, her appearance was better than her previous life, and she met such good parents, which should really be cherished, so she became tolerant of some things and people. Every day, he went to help Mrs. Xia take care of the house, supervised Xia Ruiyu's study, adjusted the relationship between Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia, and even took the initiative to talk to Xia Ruibei regardless of her previous suspicions and persuade her to be relieved.
Xia Ruibei was like an eggplant beaten by frost during this time, wilting. was quite moved by Xia Ruixi's arrival, and his attitude was much better than before. It wasn't until Xia Ruibei took the initiative to thank Xia Ruixi for mentioning Sun Yi to Mrs. Xia that Xia Ruixi understood Mrs. Xia's purpose of letting her stay with her to interrogate Yan'er. Mrs. Xia just wanted to use Yan'er's mouth to tell Xia Ruibei that Xia Ruixi still cared about her sister, so as to improve the stiff relationship between the sisters.
Because of the miserable and unknown future of their poor little daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Xia always tried their best to meet Xia Ruibei's requirements out of the psychology of making amends. So Xia Ruibei's temperament, under the patient tolerance and comfort of her relatives, quickly changed from pain and weakness to domineering, and she began to cry and cry when she was slightly dissatisfied, as if everyone owed her, and everything she should do for her.
As soon as she heard that Xia Ruixi was going to the capital, she immediately shouted that she was going. As soon as Mrs. Xia showed a look of refusal, she immediately burst into tears, looked at the floor without saying a word, and the tears that fell quickly wet a blue brick floor in front of her, Xia Ruixi went to pull her, and she choked up and said: "I am a person with no future, you naturally hate me." β
Mrs. Xia thought that Xia Ruixi's luck was not good, so she could go to Shangxiang for transfer, so letting Xia Ruibei follow her to Shangxiang might also make her luck better, even if she couldn't, it was good to take a break by the way. After all, no one can say in the future, if Xia Ruibei finally has to marry into the Sun family, then there will be no chance to go far away, and she will be locked up in the Sun family for the rest of her life.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Xia relented, so she agreed to Xia Ruibei's request, and when she made clothes and jewelry for Xia Ruixi, she even made a lot for Xia Ruibei. The degree of delicacy and beauty is even better, Wan'er complained that the main and secondary were down, obviously the second miss went out, and the third miss accompanied her, how can it be like the third miss went out now, and the second miss accompanied?
Xia Ruixi is well aware of Mrs. Xia's compensatory psychology, just as Master Xia said to her, why did Mrs. Xia know that Uncle Xia's family is not successful, but she has to protect it.
At that time, Xia Ruixi told Master Xia that she felt that Mrs. Xia was too partial to Uncle Xia's family. Obviously it was the Wang family's fault, Mrs. Xia not only didn't care about the Wang family, but also took her anger out on him and Mrs. Xia, she didn't understand why.
Master Xia told her: "According to the different temperaments of people, there is a kind of parents in the world who completely ignore the life and death of their children, and only want their own well-being; But under normal circumstances, parents cherish their children and hope that their children can live without worrying about food and clothing. However, there is no absolute fairness in the treatment of children, and most parents are consciously or unconsciously biased, after all, ten fingers have lengths and shorts, and children also have both finished and unsuccessful. β
At this time, some parents will favor the child who is a child, and treat the child who is relatively weaker unfairly, and the weak child will have a worse life. As for some parents, they will favor the weaker child, and ask the adult child to take more care of the unsuccessful siblings, pull them along, and let them live a little better. This is the heart of your parents, your grandmother is not confused, she is afraid that we will not help your uncle's family, afraid that your uncle's family will have a hard life, so she did this, but the method is not very appropriate. β
He sighed: "What my parents think, I also understood after becoming a parent." I'd rather your grandmother be the latter, protecting a weak child, than that she would be the former, caring only about the strong child, and not caring about the life or death of the other children. In other words, the four of you, if you are weaker, I will definitely take care of you more, then I can't do it myself, so I hope that your sister, sister and brother will help you more. So it's not that your grandmother is wrong, it's that your uncle and aunt are not angry. But no matter how angry they are, I can't watch them starve to death and live a hard life, right? β
Xia Ruixi understood the thoughts of Mrs. Xia and Master Xia, but he did not approve of their approach. In her opinion, there are many ways to be kind to others and love their siblings and children, and they choose the most inappropriate one. For example, like Uncle Xia and the Wang family, they should no longer be allowed to intensify their nonsense, but should be controlled, otherwise no matter how big the family business is, it will not be enough for him to go to Hu Huahaisai, and no matter how close his relatives are, he can't help but be sad a few times. The most likely outcome is that the money is gone, and the relatives are not doing it.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Xia are still not like Mrs. Xia when they treat their children, they always try to correct their children's shortcomings and discipline them strictly. And now, although Mrs. Xia feels that Xia Ruibei is pitiful and tries her best to compensate her, she is not really partial. Xia Ruixi felt that not only should he not be unbalanced, but he should also be more considerate of Mrs. Xia's feelings.
She felt regretful that Xuan Liu was her first best friend after coming here, right? It's a pity that her trip is scheduled for the end of February, and she can't be sent out of the cabinet. And during this time, because he wanted to avoid the suspicion of Xuan Wu, he couldn't invite Xuan Liu to play at home, and he couldn't go to see Xuan Liu. I had to carefully prepare a set of hairpin rings and send them to add makeup to Xuan Liu in advance.
On February 25, the clothes and jewelry that Mrs. Xia custom-made for the Xia Ruixi sisters were finally completed and delivered to the Xia Mansion the day before they went to the capital.
It was the first time since she arrived that Xia Ruixi had the opportunity to go far away, and she happily tried on her new clothes and jewelry. Her physical basic condition is still good, and after dressing up, she has been appreciated by the family, and even her little brother Xia Ruiyu praised her for being beautiful and beautiful. Xia Ruixi was stinky and beautiful, but he didn't notice Xia Ruibei's increasingly gloomy expression at all.
Xia Ruibei was originally just a general jealousy of Xia Ruixi, and didn't want her to marry better than herself, but now she doesn't want Xia Ruixi to marry out. Xia Ruixi's age is not young, once she is married, she will get married soon, and what she is most afraid of is that after Xia Ruixi marries, she will no longer find an excuse and has to marry the Sun family. When she saw Mrs. Xia sparing no effort to dress up Xia Ruixi, she was annoyed and hated in her heart, feeling that everyone didn't care about her, only caring about Xia Ruixi alone, and completely forgetting that her clothes and jewelry were more delicate and gorgeous.
The Xia family naturally didn't know what she was thinking, including Xia Ruixi, they just thought that she was sad about Sun Yi's serious illness. still blindly accommodating her and coaxing her to be happy.
February 26 was a splendid day of spring, early in the morning, Mr. Xia took his two daughters to Beijing.
