The sixth aunt stuffed a mouthful of snacks a little urgently, and smiled at Qin Xun: "I didn't eat in the morning, and now I'm hungry, you can let me eat something to cushion my stomach first." ”

The sixth aunt wore a brand-new dark blue linen dress today, and a new pair of cloth shoes on her feet, but the creases of the clothes can be seen that they should have been in the cabinet for many years, and they were only worn on the most important occasions.

After a plate of dim sum was eaten and a pot of tea was drunk, the sixth aunt stopped and slowly talked about it.

"A few days ago, a scholar came to Yanzi's house, and their family thought that they could let Yanzi marry him, and it was said that he was a showman or something. Bah, can people look down on the cheap woman of Yanzi? No, the morning before yesterday, he said that he was going to the town to buy something, but the person ran away. ”

Qin Xun remained silent and asked, "How do they know that the person has run away?" ”

"There hasn't been a figure for two days, what else can it be if you don't run away?" The sixth aunt was very gloating, so she almost clapped her hands and applauded.

"This morning, the patriarch's family came to say, Yanzi is still married to Liu Xi, and we will also give some compensation to our family, the bride price is not wanted, the foundation of the house that was said before will be given to Liu Xi, and a dowry will be subsidized to ensure that Liu Xi and Yanzi will live comfortably in the future."

"So, the sixth aunt was moved again and agreed?" Qin Xun looked at the woman in front of her, her face was wrinkled and tired, but there was no lack of calculation in her eyes.

In Qin Xun's eyes, Aunt Sixth is very stupid and loves to take advantage, but she is Liu Xi's mother, if she really wants to set up a family matter, Liu Xi is really difficult to do.

"Why don't you agree, this is a good thing, our family is poor, and it is a good thing that the world can marry a daughter-in-law who does not want to pay a dowry."

"I heard that when Aunt Six came to Xiao's house, many people persuaded Aunt Six not to bring Liu Xi, but Aunt Six was unwilling."

"Yes, alas, my own son, I am reluctant to give it to others, even if I eat bran vegetables, it is better to follow my mother." When the sixth aunt talked about the past, she was also a little embarrassed.

"Liu Xi was very obedient when he was a child, and he was afraid that I would leave him and remarry all day long. I don't know what's wrong, I'm disobedient when I'm older, and I'm always going against me, which is really infuriating. ”

The sixth aunt was in a bad mood when she said that she couldn't help but complain to Qin Xun.

Qin Xun smiled faintly, gently put down the teacup, and asked, "Sixth Aunt You could hurt him when she was a child, why don't you hurt him now?" Do you still want to exchange your son for a piece of land and a house? ”

"What are you talking nonsense, Liu Xi is my son, and his marriage is naturally my decision, and he still wants to turn the sky upside down. Besides, what's wrong with this family business, what's not about him? The sixth aunt's face was not good, and her voice became louder.

Orchid thought it was a quarrel, and hurriedly remembered her other duty, to protect Qin Xun, so she hurriedly ran in with a rolling pin, and saw that the two were just sitting and talking, so she walked to the side of the stool and sat down, staring at the sixth aunt with a pair of eyes.

The sixth aunt was startled, pointed at her and asked Qin Xun: "What are you doing here, you want to beat me?" ”

Qin Xun smiled, and did not drive the orchid out, but said to Aunt Six: "Aunt Six, you don't care about her; Let's go back to Liu Xi. ”

Seeing that the orchid really didn't move, the sixth aunt didn't care about her anymore, and said: "Liu Xidu is eighteen or nineteen years old, what else can he do?" ”

No matter what the reason, Liu Xi at least has his mother to worry about his marriage, and he is always better than Xiao Chenyu, if he hadn't married him by mistake, I am afraid that he would continue to be single.

After a little distraction, Qin Xun hurriedly said with a straight face: "Sixth aunt, let me ask you, if Yanzi takes a fancy to your second son, are you willing?" ”

The sixth aunt was stunned, and her old face was a little unbearable: "The second child is still young, besides, the family matter should naturally be told to the elder brother first." ”

Qin Xun's eyes became indifferent, and his tone was a little cold: "I only ask the sixth aunt, are you willing to marry a woman like Yanzi for your second son?" Aunt Six just needs to say yes or no? ”

"No, I don't want to ......"

I don't know why, the sixth aunt was actually a little pressed by this little bride who was only a little young, she didn't understand why, but she unconsciously followed Qin Xun's meaning.

She naturally didn't know that in addition to Qin Xun's academic knowledge and intelligence, she also had the prestige of her mother for many years, and once she put on the power of her mother, many people were afraid, not to mention that Aunt Liu, who was in town last time in the year of the monkey.

Qin Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sneer flew out of the tip of his tongue: "Why does Aunt Sixth have to ask Liu Xi to marry Yanzi?" Isn't he your beloved son? ”

The sixth aunt's brain was a little dizzy, and she hurriedly explained: "I, naturally, I don't love him, but he doesn't have a father, and he doesn't have a father to handle him, what can I do as a woman?" ”

"Liu Xi called my husband a brother, called me a sister-in-law, and now that he has come to join us, we will treat him as our family. Sixth aunt, although you are his mother-in-law, I think this family business ......." Qin Xun said this, paused, and spit out two words loudly: "It's not proper!" ”

The sixth aunt was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, and after thinking about it again, she slapped the table and scolded: "Xiao Er's family, don't kick your nose too much, I have lived a long time, and I have never heard of anyone who can go past his mother, Liu Xi is my son, even if he wants to kill him, he should bear it." ”

Qin Xun knows that many people only know foolishness, such as the one in front of her, she can tolerate her husband's fist and foot violence, but she inflicts violence on her son in another way. And she is the best at seeing people and doing things, for example, the two children born by the Xiao family have six uncles who are distressed, so she is also distressed, and she usually doesn't say much.

On the contrary, Liu Xi, who felt the most sorry for her, became her punching bag, or perhaps, she herself realized what she had done? Or, if she knows it is the case, it is really bad.

Whether it was intentional or not, the damage caused to Liu Xi was unforgettable.

"Aunt Six, if I don't let people go, there are thousands of ways for you to have a fight with Uncle Six. If you and Sixth Uncle discuss it well, Liu Xi will still be filial to you when he has the ability in the future, and you can discuss it yourself, which one is better. ”

The sixth aunt is not smart, and she even has no foresight, her limited brain turned around, and she remembered the child's father's advice in the morning: "No matter what Liu Xi says, bring people back and talk about it." Besides, after the sting, he will start to work on the farm, who will do the work if he doesn't come back to the house? ”

Thinking of this, the sixth aunt shook her head, after all, the benefits in front of her can be seen and touched, and when Liu Xi has a future future, she doesn't know the Year of the Monkey, not to mention, the sixth aunt understands Liu Xi, he is not a very capable person.

"Liu Xi's father said, let him go back to work, the family's land should also be turned, his father is old, his legs and feet are not good, and his younger brothers and sisters are still young, and they can't work."

"I heard Xiao Chenyu say that Liu Xi followed his sixth aunt to Xiao's house at the age of six and was about to start doing farm work, why can't Liu Xi's younger brother be twelve or thirteen years old?"

The sixth aunt can't say anything to refute, so she can't say that Liu Xi doesn't have her father's protection, right?
