Xia Jin looked down at his clothes, inexplicably: "What's wrong?" ”

She was now wearing a half-worn pale cyan collared skirt. Before bathing, she turned over the original owner's clothes, most of which were pink or purple warm-toned clothes, and the cuffs or collar were embroidered with some flowers, or trimmed with lace, which looked like children's clothes, which really did not suit her Su Mu's taste. It was not easy to turn out such a simple cold-colored dress. Although this dress is relatively old, the light cyan fabric is a little whitish when washed, but it is not torn or wrinkled, clean and tidy, and it does not look like it can't be worn out.

"The pink and purple dress that my mother made for you before, you can wear that." Shu Shi Dao.

Seeing that Xia Jin frowned, and seemed unhappy, she hurriedly explained: "Lest your grandmother say that we are poor in the third room, and we are not even willing to give you a new dress." ”

As soon as Shu Shi said this, one thing came to Xia Jin's memory.

There seemed to have been a time when she had gone to the upper room in her old clothes to say goodbye, and happened to meet a lady from the city who had come to visit. As soon as the guests left, the old lady was furious, saying that Shu's was reluctant to make a new dress for her daughter, making her embarrassed in front of outsiders. Shu Shi knelt at the door of the small Buddha hall for half an hour, until Xia Zhengqian rushed back, and the eldest wife and the second wife interceded again, and then let her go back to the courtyard.

Since then, the original owner has paid great attention to his dress, and every time he goes to the room, he puts on new clothes and wears his own precious jewelry, which is very grand.

But the monthly money for the third room is only enough to live, and there is no extra money to make new clothes for her daughter, only two sets per quarter. Silk clothes are not washed, every day to wear new clothes, when the real New Year's festival or guests come and go out, her clothes have become half-old, can not be used. Because of this, the original owner and Shu Shi were very troubled. The final result is that Shu's rarely makes new clothes a year, and Xia Zhengqian and Xia Qi also reduce the number of new clothes sets, spending all the limited money on making clothes on their daughter.

"No, let's go." Xia Jin is really not used to the old lady's problem.

What a man!

The heroine came back from the dead, and she was cold and unapproachable, and Shu didn't dare to force her daughter to change her clothes. Seeing that she didn't care, I had to go out with her.

When they entered the upper room, the eldest lady and the second wife had already brought their daughters and sons to the seats, and when the old lady saw them come in, her face immediately sank, and she said, "What's the matter?" Please come to dinner, and you have to be like a big man, how about three or four pleases? It's really a shameless thing to be on the table! ”

Xia Jin frowned, and looked at the old lady with a touch of coldness.

Although Mrs. Xia is old, she is extremely sensitive. As soon as Xia Jin's eyes came out, she caught it.

She raised her eyebrows, her eyes immediately became as sharp as knives, and she pointed at Xia Jin and said, "What kind of eyes are you?" Catch you hate me so much! At a young age, you dare to be so resentful and unfilial to your elders! Come, pull her to the small ancestral hall for me, and kneel for two hours. ”

Shu Shi was shocked and turned his head to look at Xia Jin.

Everyone in the room looked at Xia Jin.

But I only saw that Xia Jin's dark eyes were as clear and quiet as a lake, and at this time he seemed to have reacted, raising his eyes to meet everyone, with a layer of aggrieved and dazed tears in his eyes, as if he didn't know where the old lady's scolding came from.

Shu's heart was broken when he saw his daughter like this. Thinking of the old lady's words just now, she wanted to charge her daughter with unfilial piety, knelt in the small ancestral hall for two hours, and didn't care about the fear of the old lady, so she boldly said: "Mother, you can't get used to me, even if you scold me, why do you want to wronged the child?" This child has been timid and quiet since he was a child, and when he sees you, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, and it is too late to be afraid, where does he dare to stare at you? Isn't it that you are dazzled and misunderstood? ”

Although everyone did not echo her words, they believed from their eyes that the old lady had seen it wrong.

You must know that the original owner is a dispensable existence in the hearts of everyone in the big house and the second room of the Xia family. This kid is quiet, rarely goes out, and rarely speaks. On weekdays, even if he came to the room to say goodbye, he didn't say a word, only followed behind Shu's, like a shadow. Even if I asked her, I would do it quietly, answering a sentence or two. was scolded by the old lady or bullied by his cousins and cousins, but he only bit his lip and endured it, never daring to say a hard word.

Such a child, you say that she dares to look at the old lady with resentful eyes, and no one believes it.

Moreover, everyone believes in their eyes. Just now, I saw that this kid's eyes were very peaceful, where was there any resentment?

"Am I dazzled?" Mrs. Xia was furious, "My eyes are sharp, no one wants to pretend to be a ghost under my nose." Do I need to wronged her? What kind of precious girl is she, who needs me to spend such thoughts? ”

After scolding, seeing that the maid and the mother-in-law did not move, he pointed to a mother-in-law and said, "Are you all dead?" Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and pull her away, don't get up until you kneel for two hours! ”

Seeing that the mother-in-law stepped forward to pull Xia Jin, she turned her face and scolded Shu Shi: "Sister Jin dared to look at people with such eyes at a young age, I think you taught me badly, and you still don't know how to curse me to death behind your back!" You can go and kneel too. ”

Xia Jin saw that Xia Qi was watching a good show on the side, and knew that the old lady had a seizure to find a place for him. sneered in his heart, and did not argue and resisted, so he obediently followed the woman away.

She didn't care about these people in Xia Mansion. She just wants to see how Xia Zhengqian, the father, will react when she is bullied so far.

Seeing that her daughter was pulled away by two mothers-in-law, her expression was blank; Thinking about it a few days ago, she was still walking in the ghost gate, and her body had not recovered, and Shu's heart was about to break. can kneel with her daughter, she can't ask for it. When Mrs. Xia said this, she didn't reply, and without waiting for her mother-in-law to pull her, she took the initiative to follow her with tears.

Before she went out, she heard the second wife's voice sounding behind her: "Mother, Sister Jin is young and ignorant, just forgive her this time." The child was weak, and he was too sick to get out of bed a few days ago, so he knelt for two hours, afraid that he would have a bad day. Look, can you get her to kneel less? Half an hour will be enough to teach her a lesson. ”

Shu Shi turned his head and glanced at the second wife gratefully.

If the second wife can come out and say such a sentence, Shu will accept her affection. Although in Shu's opinion, what the second wife said was in vain. The reason why the old lady is intimidating is that she can't listen to the advice of others at all. In this world, filial piety governs the world, and the old lady's words are holy decrees in this family, and no one can refute them.

But she didn't want to the next moment, the old lady surprised Shu's eyes: "That's it, since you say so, then kneel for half an hour." ”
