Guan Wen pressed the emotions like turning over the river and the sea in his heart, let Li Xin pour water for him to hold, took off his shoes and socks for him, let him lean on the side of the bed, went out to get a foot basin mixed with warm water to wash his feet, and walked all morning, and the soles of his feet were indeed sore.

Guan Wen was silent, lowered his head and saw his daughter-in-law's black head, black and shiny hair. He reached out and touched her head, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Li Xin massaged the soles of his feet and replied casually: "What is hard or not, don't talk about this." ”

What's so bad about Xin'er? If she hadn't met that black-hearted mother-in-law who abducted and sold her to that kind of place, could such a good woman marry herself, a half-crippled woman with a broken appearance? After Xin'er got married, she didn't feel sorry for the Guan family, what did her father have to do with Xin'er! The fourth brother's dowry was purchased by Xin'er with her own money, although it was a windfall, but in the end, it was Xin'er's, and it was not owned by their Guan family.

If Dad wants to say anything, he will talk about everything, why should he be involved in Xin'er, he must say that he is controlled by Xin'er, and he doesn't even listen to the words of his elders.

Dad just wanted the silver to pass through his hands, because he didn't do what he wanted, so he put all the fire on Xin'er.

Fortunately, Xin'er was not there at the time, otherwise how would this scene be cleaned up? Although he believes that Xin'er will not yell at her father, it will not be comfortable for anyone to be said like this by the elders, right? The matter of the sixth brother last time has embarrassed Xin'er, Xin'er must also know, but if she doesn't say anything, she must want to maintain peace in the family, but her father is like this......

Guan Wen closed his eyes, covered his face with his hands and said, "Xin'er, my father has been grumpy recently. Don't pay much attention to him. ”

Li Xin responded lightly, didn't raise his head, and saw that the water was a little cold, so he dried his feet. Change into the shoes you are used to wearing at home. I went out with a footbasin.

Guan Wen drank the remaining water in the cup, took off his shoes and went to bed and hugged the locked small box on the horizontal board, touched up from the foot of the bed, touched the embedded crack in the bed and tinkered twice, then pulled out a key, unlocked, locked, unpacked, and did it in one go.

There were only a few dimes of silver lying in the chest. It only adds up to three or four taels.

When he was hired, he hesitated whether to take out the money that was considered "the bottom of the box", but after thinking about it, there were still so many people in the family who wanted to eat. You can't do without a little of it. For this, he was wronged by Li Xin, and he was also extremely guilty.

Now that I think about it, he has always been the only one who is busy with this family, and in the end he can't get a trace of his father's gratitude, but the sixth brother's bundle didn't hand over in time and took the opportunity to lose his temper, which makes people feel chilling when they think about it.

He's not a god, why doesn't my father understand, he's tired?

Guan Wen was so distracted by the box that he didn't even notice Li Xin coming back.

Li Xin walked up to him, put his hand on his hand, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?" ”

"Didn't think about anything." Guan Wen replied in a deep voice. Thinking about it, he sighed and said, "I'm a little tired......"

A pun, Li Xin understands. He smiled softly at him, "Come out to eat, I'll go to the stove to see what to eat at noon today." After lunch, you can get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you won't be so tired. ”

Guan Wen shook her hand and rubbed it for a while. Silence for a long time.

Today is supposed to be a day of rejoicing. Guan Wen and Li Xin went home after more than a month, and Guan Quan's marriage can be regarded as settled. But the atmosphere at the dinner table made people feel a little dull.

Ah Mei listened to Li Xin's words and called Ah Xiu back, and the two sisters silently helped Li Xin set up the dishes and chopsticks. Li Xin's hands were fast, and he made a few dishes in a short period of time for Ah Xiu to serve.

She wasn't ready to go face to face with Guan Wen's father right now.

Ah Xiu was not very happy, and sent Ah Mei to say, "You go, take it to the hall." ”

Ah Mei shook her head and hid in the pile of firewood, shrunk in front of the stove and pouted: "I'm not going, I'm not going." ”

Ah Xiu stomped his feet in frustration, but still went to the hall with the dishes, put down the dishes and left.

Two old, four young and six Guan family men sat in the hall to eat, and Li Xin took Ah Xiu and Ah Mei to eat in the stove. Ah Xiu asked Li Xin softly with the dishes: "Sister-in-law, the second brother came back and said that you helped purchase the dowry gift to the Hu family this time, and it cost a lot of silver, right?" ”

Li Xin paused his chopsticks, "What did the second brother say?" ”

"The second brother said that the dowry was made with the silver rewarded by Mrs. Cui's wife, and he didn't say anything else." Ah Xiu poked the bottom of the bowl, lowered his voice and said, "The sixth brother said in a weird way on the side, there must be a lot of silver rewards, otherwise you can't be so generous, sister-in-law." ”

It's Guan Zhi Cheng again!

Ah Xiu continued: "At that time, my father lost his temper when he heard this, and scolded the second brother for not bringing back the dowry and letting him see it first. I couldn't hear what I said, and my father scolded me in turn. Staying at home and holding my breath, I have been going to Sister Xing'er's house to play these days, and I am so happy that I don't look at my father's face. ”

Li Xin didn't know what to say. She originally thought that she should talk about Ah Xiu, it was not wrong to talk to her sister-in-law about brothers like this, and it would cause family disputes. But if Ah Xiu doesn't tell her in the future, where will this information come from......

This time, Guan Zhicheng picked a head in front again, and Li Xin really couldn't understand what benefits he had for him to do this......

Let's put it ugly, even if the Cui family's reward for silver was not two taels but twenty taels at that time, it was also obtained by her Li Xin with her own craftsmanship, Guan Zhicheng had to have a saying if he wanted to take this silver, is the silver so easy to take?

Okay, if people poke his father out and look at this matter from the perspective of the elders, she, Li Xin, as a junior, should hand over the money she earns to the eldest patriarch? The money falls into the hands of the father-in-law, and there is a good chance that it will be stopped.

Although there are some problems with the character of this pass, it does have a little cleverness.

However, there is an idiom called "Mouse Eye", Guan Zhicheng only sees the immediate benefits, does not consider the long-term, and is generally miscalculated.

What's more, the reward she Li Xin got was really only two taels of silver.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't speak, Ah Xiu's eyes flashed from the door, his eyes widened slightly, he bit his lip and pulled Li Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, if the Cui family really gives you a lot of rewards, don't give it to your father and sixth brother, it's best to carry it yourself!" Why should they be given their hard-earned money? The sixth brother read to the dog's belly, and his father was confused......"

Li Xin was surprised that Ah Xiu would say this, frowned and said, "If I really have so much silver, your eldest brother will also know that this silver should also be carried by your eldest brother." ”

Ah Xiu pouted, "The eldest brother also hurts the sixth brother, and it is not safe to put the eldest brother on him." ”

Li Xin smiled, "But the problem is that the Cui family's wife only rewarded the two taels of silver, and the dowry was all spent!" ”

"That's a good dare, I don't have this money or this burden, look at what the sixth brother is still jumping on!"

Ah Xiu laughed contemptuously, lowered her eyebrows and sighed again, "Sister-in-law, I really think that the sixth brother has a bad character. What can he do if he goes on like this? Scholars and scholars are not familiar with the world, and what they have in their hearts is not the family and the country, but these trivial things. There is no shortage of food in the house, no shortage of food, no shortage of drink, and most of the money is used for him to study...... He took it for granted, but he didn't know that his eldest brother had always contributed money and efforts, and he didn't know that Entu would repay it, and he would do all these disgusting things. If it weren't for him to study, the family would not have been so difficult. ”

Li Xin was silent, Ah Xiu put aside the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a little resentment: "The second son of my aunt's family is one year younger than the sixth brother, and he is now an apprentice in the winery, not only can he learn a craft, but he also sends wages to his family every month, and he doesn't hide his selfishness at all." My aunt's family looks hard, but I think it's much better than ours, at least the family is united. But you see that the sixth brother's virtue is worse than that of the second cousin, and he claims to be a scholar, and the face of the scholar is lost by him. ”

"Ah Xiu......" Hearing her speak louder and louder, Li Xin couldn't help but stop it. Ah Xiu continued as if he was venting: "Anyway, he should read his books obediently, and if he didn't pass the children's exam twice, he should know that he still has shortcomings, and he should study hard." But what about him? only said that the examiner of the family had no eyesight, not his Bole, and he didn't find that he was a thousand-mile horse, and the cowhide was blown higher than the clouds, and his father thought that what he said was right, and he didn't restrict him from studying at all, and let him complain all day long. Who are you coaxing, everyone knows that the sixth brother is not strong enough and complains, and his words are only enough to deceive some people who don't know his situation. Whose man is this lost? Dad is still happy to echo him, and it makes people angry when they look at it! ”

Li Xin also put aside the dishes and chopsticks, and frowned slightly, "Ah Xiu, that's your brother, don't say it so ugly, family and everything is prosperous, you ...... like this"

"The sister-in-law is actually dissatisfied with him, but it's just that the eldest brother's face is not easy to say." Ah Xiu straightened his chest and didn't care, "I'm different, I've been dissatisfied with him for a long time, I'm going to say it!" If the eldest brother still indulges him in the future, and gives him a bundle of silver for him to eat and drink, sooner or later he will raise a scourge! Today, he dared to pry his father and said that sister-in-law, you hid the silver, and Ming'er was afraid that he would go directly to search your sister-in-law's house! ”

"Ah Xiu!"

"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, the calligraphy and painting you hung in the house, the one with the eagle, and the one with the writing, was secretly taken away by him, and I don't know where it was thrown or what. He thought no one knew, and I saw it! I hid it and didn't say it, I'll have to poke it out today, and if I let him go on like this, he will steal chickens and dogs, and he won't kill people and set fire to them in two days! ”

Li Xin was shocked, the calligraphy and painting that Ah Xiu said should be the one that Wei Xingzhi gave her to repay her kindness, when she and Guan Wen were busy packing their luggage and hung it on the wall casually. No wonder I looked in the house when I came back and felt that something was wrong, it turned out that the calligraphy and painting were missing.

It's just that Ah Xiu suddenly lowered his voice high?

Before he could understand why Ah Xiu was talking louder and louder, Li Xin was startled by a loud noise at the door.

Guan Wen stood at the door, next to him was the trembling old juncture. One eyes breathe fire, and the other tears crude.

Guan Wen shouted sharply towards the hall: "Guan Zhicheng, you get out of here!" (To be continued)
