Chapter 11: Breaking the Cauldron (3)

Xia Rui said with a humble heart: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be beaten?" Why cry and scream for help? "He has a temper and cries for help when he is beaten. It is said that when he was a child, he was even more exaggerated, as long as he provoked it, he would roll all over the place, and later it was Master Xia who whipped and punished squatting with thin bamboo strips, and took turns to raise wine glasses before correcting it, but he would still desperately shout for help when he was beaten. Afterwards, everyone laughed at him, and he felt ashamed, but when that time came, he couldn't help it.

Xia Ruinan said: "Have you done anything wrong, go and tell your father about it." He is waiting for you in the study, so that you must arrive within a stick of incense, or the punishment will be doubled.

Xia Rui's face turned white and ran away with a bang.

Xia Ruixi said: "What did he do? Daddy wants to punish him?

Xia Ruinan said angrily: "Someone came from the school just now, saying that someone put croton powder in Mr.'s tea this afternoon, and Mr. couldn't do anything, so he had to leave school early." Later, it turned out to be the croton flour under Rui Zhan, and in order to be able to pick you up, he put the chin flour in Mr.'s tea, and Mr. was yelling not to spare him. is so stubborn at a young age, how can he afford the family business in the future? Our whole family is counting on him to glorify our ancestors. "I have to say that although the Xia family has money, they have always regretted that Master Xia failed to become an official, so they can only pin their hopes on Xia Ruiyu. Xia Ruinan also hopes that his brothers will have a future, and his predecessors will be straighter.

Xia Ruixi said disapprerovingly: "He's still young, he's sensible when he's older." "Fooling the teacher, how many people haven't done it? When Xia Ruixi was in junior high school, the classmates in their class made the teacher cry, and a little croton powder was really nothing compared to their methods at that time. If Xia Ruiyu is really a wooden child who can only read, then it is worrying.

Xia Ruinan said sternly: "It's because he's still young, so he can't indulge him anymore." You are an example, that is, when you were a child, your father always said that you were still young, so he indulged you, look, your life is almost gone, our family is a man of his, if he is not successful, our family will be finished! I'm not at home, you're the big one, keep an eye on him! Don't let him mess around.

Is it that exaggerated? Xia Ruixi didn't want to argue with Xia Ruinan about this, so he reached out to pick up the child: "Ah, as a mother, you just don't talk the same, isn't it?" Baby? Seeing that Xia Ruinan's attention was diverted, he asked nonchalantly, "Your mother-in-law didn't send anyone to follow you anymore?"

Xia Ruinan frowned: "It's a good day, don't mention her." ”

Xia Ruixi looked at her that although she was a lot plump, she couldn't hide the deep tiredness and haggard between her eyebrows, and it seemed that life was not very comfortable, so she said: "I see that your complexion is not very good, but you haven't rested well?" Don't be too tired, you have raised so many girls, mothers-in-law, and wet nurses, don't let them be lazy. ”

Xia Ruinan said: "I didn't raise it well during my confinement, so naturally my face is not good. ”

Xia Ruixi probed around looking for someone: "Since you haven't raised it well, why don't you let someone help you hold the child?" What about the wet nurse? What about Ying'er? should be scolded, don't let them talk like you. ”

Xia Ruinan said: "Don't shout, I haven't seen you for a long time, I came to talk to you alone." ”

The two found a quiet and sheltered place to sit down, and Xia Ruixi asked distressedly: "Did you suffer a lot when you gave birth?" "In ancient times, a woman giving birth to a child was no less than passing a ghost gate, and it was extremely important to have a good stable woman and doctor, Master Xia originally wanted to guard Xia Ruinan at home, but because Xia Ruixi wanted to incense, time did not wait for anyone, so he had to send Xia Ruixi sisters to Beijing.

Xia Ruixi still remembers those days, Master Xia calculated that the time for Xia Ruinan's birth was coming, and he was restless every day, until he received the heart of peace later, and he was relieved. The letter said that although he suffered a lot and the process was a little thrilling, the mother and son were finally safe, and for this matter, Xia Ruixi always felt a little sorry for Xia Ruinan.

Xia Ruinan knew what she was guilty about at a glance, and smiled lightly, "It's okay, my mother is guarding outside, I'm not afraid." In fact, she was really scared at the time, because Mrs. Wu was not satisfied with her, she was the first child, and it was very difficult to give birth, and after giving birth for a whole day and night, she was almost unable to survive. In a daze, what she was most afraid of was that Mrs. Wu ordered that she would protect the child and not the adult, and she was afraid that if she died, the other women Wu Zi'an married in the future would not be good for the child, so she gritted her teeth and resisted.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xia has been guarding outside, and she forcibly suppressed Mrs. Wu at the critical moment, coupled with Wu Zi'an's insistence, Mrs. Wu finally didn't say that sentence, and she survived safely.

Xia Ruixi heard Xia Ruinan talk about the situation at that time, and held her hand in fear: "How is he treating you now?" You gave birth to a son, she shouldn't be able to find anything to say, right? "Mother values son, and the child born to Xia Ruinan is the eldest grandson of the martial family, which should make her position more stable.

Xia Ruinan's tears came out all of a sudden, and she couldn't stop it, Xia Ruixi panicked, and hurriedly freed up a hand to hug her and patted her on the back: "Don't cry, what is there to say, don't cry." ”

It turned out that Mrs. Wu said that Xia Ruinan would not take the child, so she had to take it to her own room to raise it, and the child would have to go over if she ate and lived in her room, and it would be the same during the confinement. Tossing back and forth like this, Xia Ruinan, who was tossing, did not do a good job, and recovered very poorly, and the lochia has not been clean for more than two months. Mrs. Wu took the opportunity to stuff a girl into Wu Zi'an's house, and the angry Xia Ruinan cried countless times, but she didn't dare to let Mrs. Xia know that she had to force a smile before and after others.

This is probably the best evil mother-in-law, if it was another woman, Xia Ruixi would still wonder if this daughter-in-law is really not painful, but Xia Ruinan's gentleness and kindness are really obvious to all, what she lacks is precisely fierceness. That's why Mrs. Wu will be able to bully as much as she wants.

Xia Ruixi was so angry that her stomach hurt, and she couldn't help but say: "You are so weak, she snatched your son today, and stuffed a woman into your husband's room tomorrow, so what are you in the end?" Even the clay people also have three points of earthiness, so are you planning to live your life like this?

Xia Ruinan wiped her eyes, with a ruthless expression between her eyebrows: "Of course I won't let her bully!" Before, I was in poor health and couldn't do anything, I wanted to force my son, she dreamed! She took the child: "Who do you think this child looks like?"

Xia Ruixi took a closer look and said, "The eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same as those of my brother-in-law, and the chin and mouth are more like you."

Xia Ruinan sneered: "She thinks the child is too similar to me, and she keeps saying that the child is not good-looking, and because the child loves to laugh, she says that he is stupid and can't recognize people, and everyone is laughing." I thought it was strange, could it be that this child had to be as smart as her at such a young age? If you don't like it, forget it, what are you robbing me with? She's not rare, I'm rare. ”

Xia Ruixi understood why this Mrs. Wu wanted to do such a contradictory thing, she thought her grandson was not good-looking, and she thought her grandson was stupid, so she wanted to snatch the child with Xia Ruinan, and there was only one purpose, which was to suppress Xia Ruinan. Because smiled: "I think, it's not that she doesn't like children, but she just wants to suppress you." I want you to know that it's not a big deal that you gave birth to a son.

Xia Ruinan said: "Isn't it? When I was pregnant with a child, she was critical of me in every way, and always scared me that if I couldn't give birth to a son, I would marry your brother-in-law a second room. When I gave birth, she snatched my son while disgusting it. I can bear what she did before, but she should never have robbed my son. ”

Xia Ruixi asked curiously, "What did you do to bring the child back?" "Mrs. Wu has been running the family for many years, and she has accumulated a lot of power, Xia Ruinan has always been weak again, she wants to win this turnaround battle, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

Xia Ruinan restrained the indignation on his face, and said seriously: "Xixi, we two sisters, my sister and you have a few words of confidant. In the future, when you arrive at the Ou family, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss first, but remember one thing, you must firmly grasp your husband's person and heart in the palm of your hand, as long as he is facing you, you can say anything, don't push him away by your own temperament. ”

Xia Ruixi lowered his eyes: "I know." Of course he knew that this was very important, but she was determined to subdue the arrogant and stuffy man, but she had no confidence.

Xia Ruinan touched her hair: "People like the Ou family, looking glamorous, there must be a lot of pickled things inside, his family has five generations in the same house, people are prosperous, there are many concubines, none of them are good at stubble, not to mention, these years have been in deficit, everyone has no money, and they have to save face, and they are like hungry wolves, they will not let go when they see money." Although Mrs. Ou is powerful, she is getting old, I am very worried about you, your dowry will definitely not be less, be careful if you are wronged and will be called stupid. ”

"I know, sister, or you, you taught me two tricks, how did you get the baby back?

Xia Ruinan squinted proudly: "I just follow a principle, no matter how wronged I am, I don't quarrel with her, and I don't cry in front of her, I agree to whatever she says, greet her with a smile, so that she can't catch me at all." When I went back to the room, I didn't quarrel with your brother-in-law, nor did I say that she was not, I just guarded him and cried. This crying, you can't just cry casually, you have to choose him to have more time, cry when he is in a good mood, and let him mess with her. No matter how filial he is, he has to be filial to his son only if he is kind to his mother? Later, my father-in-law sent a message and scolded her for having nothing to do, and she had no choice but to return the child to me.

Xia Ruixi said: "The method is a good way, but doesn't she hate you even more?" If your brother-in-law is not at home, she will always find a way to pick on you, you are not at home, there is no capable person around you, and you can't make trouble with her without opening your face, but what should I do? Unless you can separate it, how can she agree? The best thing is to let your brother-in-law find a shortage out of town, you take the child with you, and the farther away from her, the better. ”

Xia Ruinan said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already said that your brother-in-law has been moved, and we have found a relationship in his family, and we have sought a shortage in the Tokyo government, which is considered a flat adjustment, as long as you are willing to spend money, it should not be difficult. Now there are some eyebrows, but there is a lack of money. Originally, the dowry given by my father had a few shops and a lot of income, but the money was so much that she didn't dare to pawn the jewelry and clothes, for fear that they wouldn't be able to leave if they found out. I can only use some private rooms that I usually save secretly, but it's really not enough
