Chapter 10 Xia Qi
She simply followed Shu's example, leaned back her body's weight, changed her kneeling posture to a Japanese-style kneeling posture, relaxed her body, closed her eyes and recuperated, and did not respond to Shu's.
Originally, with her character, where was she willing to let those mothers-in-law pull her away and come to this ancestral hall to kneel? Directly make a fuss, even give the old woman a slap in the face, and then wave his sleeves and leave the summer mansion, and live his own free life with medical skills is the right way. But she had to take care of Xia Qi, Shu Shi and Xia Zhengqian. They are relatives of this body, and they are really good to her. She has always had clear grievances, and if she is good to her, she will reciprocate; What is bad for her, she is absolutely ruthless. Since they can't leave the Xia family and care about other people's opinions, she can only stay here. If you want to stay, you can't fight against the old woman, otherwise you will still suffer from the three-room family of four.
Alas, since the surname is Xia, it is not a big deal to kneel down the ancestors of the Xia family, so you should pay for this body.
Seeing that Xia Jin didn't speak, Shu Shi thought that she still had ideas in her heart, so she said softly and softly: "Sister Jin, my mother knows, Brother Qi caused you a serious illness but did not receive any punishment, and you have resentment in your heart." Daddy is incompetent, failed to get justice for you, let you be wronged, Daddy is sorry for you, even if you complain about Daddy, Daddy doesn't blame you. It's just that we can't really move out. My mother also wants to move out, more than anyone else, but in this world, it's not like you want to do it, it's too helpless! ”
She let out a long sigh, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked Xia Jin's long hair: "Fortunately, you are fourteen years old this year, and you can discuss marriage." Daddy must choose a good family for you. I don't want to be rich and rich, I just want the population to be simple, and the family is pure and kind, peaceful and harmonious. As long as you get married, you can get out of this family. Bear with it for another year or two, and wait for your mother to take a good look at you. As for your father and your brother, you don't have to worry, to put it mildly, your grandmother is now in her sixties, and she can still ......."
At this, she shut up abruptly and looked at the tablet with a look of horror on her face. After staying for a while, she turned around and kowtowed to the rows of tablets: "The concubine Shu's is not unfilial, only emotional, and she is speechless, and I hope that the ancestors will not blame." If you want to blame it, blame the concubine alone, don't blame my father-in-law and my children, they are all your descendants. My daughter said that the separation of the family was also unintentional, she was young and ignorant; Even if there were, it was the concubine's failure to teach her well, and it was the concubine's fault, so I only asked the ancestors and ancestors to forgive her. I also pray that my ancestors will bless me and be safe and sound......"
Xia Jin listened to Shu's chatter, and a warm current surged into his heart.
In her previous life, she had seen too many plots and murders between her relatives, and she was used to seeing life and death, which created her cold and indifferent character. But Shu's words just now warmed her heart. She knew that Shu was afraid, the name of Mrs. Xia's husband was within reach, she was afraid that what she said just now would cause Mrs. Xia's dissatisfaction and retribution, but she took all the fault on herself.
"Mother!" She shouted sincerely, stretched out her hand and hugged Shu's family, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my grandfather knew these things before his death, and you just taught me to honor my grandmother when I am not separated, and he will not blame us." ”
Shu Shi was calmed down by what she said. Recall that what she said just now was even a complaint, and when it came to Old Lady Xia, she didn't hate complaining. Moreover, Mrs. Xia was extremely tolerant of her juniors during her lifetime, and it was not easy for her to be a daughter-in-law over the years, so she would not be blamed.
Thinking like this, she relaxed, kowtowed respectfully, repented softly, and promised that she would be filial to her mother-in-law in the future, and once again begged to bless the family of four to be safe and sound, and ended the toss.
But as soon as she knelt down and sat down, she didn't breathe a sigh of relief, and a person ran in from outside the door in a panic, but it was Sister-in-law Luo, who was in Shu's courtyard. She shouted: "Third wife, go and take a look, the sixth young master was arrested for drinking prostitutes, and the old lady is letting people beat him." ”
"What?" Shu almost jumped.
Sister-in-law Luo repeated the words again.
Shu Shi heard it clearly this time, and ran out without saying a word. Xia Jin hurriedly followed.
This way out of the ancestral hall, no one stopped them, the three of them ran into the courtyard of the upper room, and saw a group of people standing there, Mrs. Xia was sitting on a chair of the princess, and Xia Qi was being pressed on a bench by the rough mother-in-law to hit the board.
"Stop!" Shu Shi saw this situation and was shocked. I didn't care that those mothers-in-law were holding the board and knocking it down, and they pounced directly on Xia Qi.
With a "snap", the board hit Shu's back, and she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth in pain.
"Mother!" Xia Qicai was beaten twice, and his consciousness was still very clear, seeing Shu Shi being beaten, he was angry and angry, and tears burst out of his eyes.
Although the third room is weak, Shu is the third wife of the Xia family's main house after all, and those mothers-in-law didn't dare to raise the board anymore when they saw that they beat her, so they stopped and looked at Mrs. Xia.
With a "bang", a tea bowl smashed to the ground, splashing tea foam and water stains all over the ground, startling everyone.
This tea bowl was naturally smashed by Mrs. Xia, except for her, no one dared to smash the tea bowl here.
"Don't pull her, she won't get out of the way, count three times and hit straight down. Beat her, and then beat her unsuccessful son. Mrs. Xia said coldly, "Raising such a son and daughter, and having the face to make trouble here, replaced me, and hanged myself with a rope earlier." ”
This cold word pierced people's hearts more than any scolding words. Xia Qi clenched his fists and bit his lower lip out of the blood mark; The coldness in Xia Jin's eyes can freeze people to death.
"Mother, son, please, get out of the way." Xia Qi pleaded.
Xia Jin went up directly and helped Shu's up with Sister-in-law Luo.
"Mother, did you misunderstand? How could Brother Qi go shopping**? He has always followed the rules and has never done anything out of the ordinary, how could he do such a thing? Shu Shi didn't care about the pain in his body, and rushed to Mrs. Xia, "You send someone to check first, if you really find out that he has done something wrong, then you will beat me, you can beat me, I didn't teach well, Brother Qi is your own grandson!" You beat people indiscriminately without checking it, what if you hit a good one?"
"It's all because I used to be kind and kind-hearted, even if you don't know what to do. The son raised you well, and the daughter raised you with resentment. Shu, are you worthy of our Xia family? How do you apologize? Mrs. Xia pointed at Shu Shi and scolded, turned her face to the mother-in-law next to her and said, "Bring Tiandong and Yuanhu up, and let her hear what her good son has done, so as not to blame my wife for wronging her good son." ”
Xia Qi lowered his head in shame.
Tiandong and Yuanhu are Xia Qi's two little guys, and they usually follow him to school.
Soon, the two little girls were brought in by the mother-in-law, both of them walked with a limp, and there were blood marks on their clothes, obviously they had been beaten on the board.
"Say, tell your good wife, what did your young master do today!" Mrs. Xia said.
