Chapter 20: My Sister Succeeds
Huang Liuniang said coldly: "Sister-in-law, I have to make it clear, what kind of help did I get from my mother's family?" Did I take a piece of gold or a piece of silver? ”
"Who took it, who knows, don't think I don't know, what did my mother steal from you during the New Year? Why do you have to let me turn it out for you? ”
Seeing that the more she talked, the more unorthodox she became, Huang Bingchen said impatiently: "You can die if you don't say a few words, shut up!" ”
Li Shi still seemed to be a little afraid of Huang Bingchen, so he glanced at Huang Liuniang and stopped talking.
Huang Liuniang asked lukewarmly, "Why did the eldest brother come to my house?" ”
"I heard that Liuya is sick, my mother is not worried, let's come and have a look."
When she heard that it was not they who took the initiative to come, but her mother asked her to come, Huang Liuniang was even more displeased: "A country girl, she is sick, what is there to see." Let's bring things back in a while, and let my mother eat more. ”
Huang Bingchen took out his eldest brother's money, waved his big hand and said: "How can there be any reason to take back the things you brought." Mother, you don't have to worry about it, I will buy food for her old man every day, and I don't lack anything. Keep these for your nieces and nieces. ”
Xia Yu interjected next to him: "Mother, grandma eats well, yesterday my aunt bought a lot of delicious food for my grandmother." We don't have anything at home, so you can keep it for your younger brothers. ”
As soon as she heard her speak to the Li family, Huang Liuniang was even more angry, and she shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Where are all the rules I taught you before? Can adults talk to children casually? From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere, but stay at home for me. ”
When Li Shi heard this, he was immediately unhappy and shouted, "What do you mean by this? Your daughter eats and lives in my house for nothing, and I eat and drink well, and now you actually say that I don't teach the child well, and the child has no rules, and your conscience has let the dog eat it? Yu'er is better than you, and she remembers my kindness to raise her everywhere. ”
Xia Yu also cried and wiped her tears: "Mother, our family is poor, and my younger brothers and sisters can't even eat, I don't think about leaving things behind and letting my younger brothers and sisters eat more, am I wrong to do this towards them?" ”
Seeing her daughter talking to herself again and again, Huang Liuniang was furious, but with the eldest brother here, she didn't make too much trouble, she forcibly suppressed her anger and said to Xia Yu: "You are also a big girl, it doesn't look like living in your uncle's house all day long, don't leave today, live at home." ”
As soon as she heard that she was not allowed to go to her uncle's house to live, Xia Yu suddenly became anxious, and she shouted loudly: "Where do I live at home?" I have to squeeze a room with you to sleep at night, I don't even have a quilt, and I have to squeeze a quilt with Liuya to sleep, when you are a big girl, you sleep in a room with your grandfather and uncle every day? I lived in the same room with my cousin at my uncle's house, slept on a silk bed, covered with a lake satin quilt, ate well, used well, and treated me well. If you don't let me enjoy the blessings, you have to let me come back and suffer this hard life, are you my own mother? ”
This accusation was as if thousands of arrows had penetrated Huang Liuniang's heart.
She never expected that the child she had worked so hard to pull the big child with a handful of and urine not only thought that her family was poor, but also put on a look of grievance to question her.
Huang Liuniang was disheartened, and the tears rolled down like pearls.
Seeing Huang Liuniang crying, Xia Shouping said anxiously: "Big girl, how can you talk, apologize to your mother!" ”
Xia Yu not only did not apologize, but reprimanded Xia Shouping: "Big girl, big girl, don't call this local name, can you remember it for a long time?" ”
Xia Shouping saw that he couldn't control her, so he simply didn't look at her, and went over to persuade Huang Liuniang: "Liuniang, don't cry, the child is older, don't care if we can't take care of it." ”
Huang Liuniang cried even more fiercely.
Huang Bingchen saw his sister crying, but he still felt sorry for his sister-in-law, and scolded Xia Yu: "Yu'er, you don't have to say a word, go and stand next to your aunt, I still have something to say to your father and mother." ”
Seeing that her uncle had spoken, Xia Yu pouted and walked to Li's side, and when she saw her passing, Li took her hand and gently patted her hand twice. Xia Yu wiped away the tears on her face, snuggled tightly next to Li, and posed as an intimate look that she didn't want to be separated from Li.
Her own mother cried on the ground, but she and her aunt put on a mother-daughter relationship, if she was given to her uncle by Huang Liuniang since she was a child, this kindness is greater than the birth grace, she and her uncle and mother are understandable, but the situation is that Huang Liuniang has raised her for thirteen years, and her aunt has only raised her for a year, just because her uncle's family can let her live a good life, she will immediately get close to others, this kind of greedy and vain person, Qingbao looks down on her from the heart.
Huang Bingchen said to Xia Shouping: "Brother-in-law, you pick up the sixth sister, I have something serious to tell you." ”
Huang Liniang was picked up from the ground by Xia Shouping, sat on the edge of the kang with a sob, and said with a crying voice: "Big brother, you can tell me if you have anything." ”
Huang Bingchen said with a smile: "That's right, I have a good friend, a scholar from generation to generation, and his eldest son is sixteen years old this year. A few days ago, he proposed marriage to me, saying that he wanted to marry me as a son and daughter. Jing'er is only eleven years old, and the child is a little far away, I think that Yu'er and him are in the same age, and next year Yu'er will be able to get married. I've seen that kid, he looks like he's the same, he's big, and he couldn't be better. Let's come today, one is to see the six girls, and the other is to ask for your opinions, if you agree, we will settle this matter. ”
As soon as he heard that he was talking about his family, Xia Yu blushed and hid behind the Li family shyly.
Huang Liuniang saw that her daughter and sister-in-law were intimate like mother and daughter, and the gloom in her eyes was obvious.
Generations of scholars, in this era when everything is inferior, only reading is high, that is a superior existence, Huang Liuniang wondered: "Our Xia family is a farmer's crop portal, people are scholarly for generations, can they take a fancy to us?" ”
Huang Bingchen said with a smile on his face: "We are brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother will not go around the bend with you, so he will tell the truth." If Yu'er is in your house, people will definitely look down on her. But if it is passed under the name of the eldest brother, then this family affair is no problem. ”
Qingbao then understood, Uncle Huang dared to love Uncle Huang in such a big circle, and he was going to take away other people's daughters.
Listening to Uncle Huang's words, Huang Liuniang froze.
Passing her daughter out is something she never dreamed of.
Although the family is poor, she and Xia Shouping worked hard to pull the children, preferring to be hungry themselves and let the children eat more.
The daughter has been raised for thirteen years, and the little milk baby who has been raised to the point of being a little girl, she doesn't know how much effort and thought has been spent on her. Xia Yu is her first child, and she still clearly remembers the joy of being a mother for the first time after she was born. At that time, she and Xia Shouping were husband and wife, guarding this little milk baby every day, she would turn over, she would sit, she would climb, she would walk, she would run, she would grow up day by day......
But now, her daughter has only lived in the eldest brother's house for a year, and the eldest brother actually said that he would pass on his daughter to the past and take away people's children, and she didn't know how the eldest brother was embarrassed to put forward this kind of excessive request.
Huang Liuniang was silent for a long time, and she was anxious for Xia Yu, who was standing beside Li, she couldn't hold back and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Li, so she pouted and glared at Huang Liuniang hard.
Uncle Huang saw that his sister-in-law and brother-in-law were silent, and continued: "Big brother knows that you are reluctant, but we have to think about the child's life, don't we?" If you are in a farmer's house, you can only find a farmer and live a poor life like you. If you come to my house, you can book a family affair immediately
, next year, eight sedan chairs will be carried out to be a serious young grandmother. Sister, I'll leave the words here, Yu'er will pass it on to me, and your sister-in-law and I will treat her as flesh and blood. Your sister-in-law said that you agreed today, and she will start preparing Yu'er's dowry tomorrow. Sixteen dowries, a lot, right? ”
As soon as he heard that there could be sixteen dowries, Xia Yu's face suddenly flushed, and he stared at Huang Liuniang with eager eyes, eager to open Huang Liuniang's mouth, so that Huang Liuniang immediately agreed.
Huang Liuniang turned her head and said to Xia Shouping faintly: "It's also your daughter, tell me about it." ”
What can the honest Xia Shouping say? It took a long time before he said, "You have an idea, I'll listen to you." ”
Turning her gaze to Xia Yu, Huang Liuniang still asked with a hint of expectation: "Big girl, tell me yourself, what do you want to do?" ”
Xia Yu said without hesitation: "Mother, uncle and aunt are very good to me. I'll be fine in the future, and I can help you. ”
"Big girl, do you know what adoptivity is? After the succession, you will call your uncle and aunt Daddy, you have to change your surname to Huang, and you can't be surnamed Xia anymore. You can't call me my mother, and you can't call your father father. Huang Liuniang was afraid that her daughter was still young and didn't know what an adoptive was, so she explained it to her daughter in detail.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yu opened his mouth and said: "I know, in the future, I will be called Huang Bingyu, my uncle will be called Dad, I will be called my aunt with my aunt, I will be called my aunt with you, and I will be called my brother-in-law with my father, these aunts and aunts have told me." ”
It turned out that the Li family had already told Xia Yu about it, and she thought that her daughter would have been happy for a long time, and today they came, either to ask for their opinions, or to tell her.
Seeing that her daughter didn't have any nostalgia for this family, and she didn't care about her father's feelings at all, Huang Liuniang was completely disappointed in this daughter, and she said with tears: "Big girl, you are also older, and you should be able to make up your own minds." My mother asked you a word, do you want to pass you over to your uncle?"
Xia Yu nodded heavily: "Mother, I'm willing." ”
Huang Liuniang closed her eyes fiercely, and said resolutely: "If you want to run for wealth, my mother will not stop you." You agreed to this today, and if you regret it in the future, don't blame your mother for not stopping you today. ”
Xia Yu was overjoyed and said, "Then you agreed, great!" "That joyful look, I just didn't jump up with joy.
Huang Bingchen and Li both had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be very satisfied with this result.
Huang Bingchen smiled and said: "Sixth sister, we are brothers and sisters, what is the difference between your child and my child?" We are always connected by blood and bones, don't worry, I can't treat the child badly. ”
Li Shi also said with a smile on his face: "Yu'er, come and kowtow to your father and your mother, and repay them for giving birth to you." ”
Xia Yu came over with a smile, knelt in front of Huang Liuniang and Xia Shouping, and kowtowed three times.
Li Shi said again: "These three heads are to say goodbye to their parents, you give them three more kowtows, and you have to change your name to the sixth aunt and brother-in-law." ”
Xia Yu kowtowed three more times, and shouted crisply: "; Sixth aunt, brother-in-law! ”
Seeing that her daughter, who had been raised for thirteen years, was so happy to leave her home, Huang Liuniang's tears flowed down, and even Xia Shouping had tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
After Xia Yu kowtowed, he stood up and said to the four pillars and the six girls: "When you see me in the future, you want to call me cousin, remember it." ”
The two pillars, the three pillars and the four pillars are a little bigger, knowing that the eldest sister doesn't want them anymore, they didn't say anything, only the five pillars didn't understand, and the child shouted childishly: "Cousin." ”
