017. Caring and not caring
"I bought a quilt, everyone slept cold at night, and the bed couldn't afford it for the time being, so I would buy cotton wool first." Xiao Yeqing handed the quilt to Lu Jinxuan.
"It's fine." Lu Jinxuan looked at the quilt and took two steps to the side.
Lu Jinzhang asked with concern: "Didn't you encounter anything?" β
"It's okay, everything is going well." Xiao Yeqing took some other quilts to Lu Jinzhang, "Let's go, let's go home first." β
Lu Jinzhang looked at Xiao Yeqing by the light of the torch, and saw that she was really okay before he put his mind at ease: "Let's go, you go ahead." β
Xiao Yeqing was very tired, so he didn't say anything, hurriedly walked forward and went home to talk.
Everyone was worried about Xiao Yeqing, and they hadn't slept yet, and they were looking forward to it in the house.
When he saw the three of them coming back, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Ye Qing, how can you buy so many things?" Old Madam Lu hurriedly looked at Xiao Yeqing, for fear that something would happen to her.
Xiao Yeqing felt Mrs. Lu's concern, and she was very happy in her heart, don't be tired and tired outside, when she returned home, her family still treated her coldly, and she was sad this day: "Grandma, I didn't buy anything, I bought a few beds of cotton wool, and everyone was cold at night, so I added a quilt to everyone." β
Old Madam Lu put her arms around Xiao Yeqing's shoulders and ironed in her heart: "You really have a heart." β
Xiao Yeqing said: "Grandma, it's not too early, let's go to bed early." β
Mrs. Lu smiled slightly: "Okay, grandma has gone to rest, you should also hurry up and take a bath, and rest early in a while." β
"Hmm." Xiao Yeqing nodded.
There was bath water in the pot, Xiao Yeqing went to take a bath, then returned to the room and rested.
Lu Jinzhang spread out the quilt and covered half of it with Xiao Yeqing.
The two were lying side by side on the hay, Lu Jinzhang couldn't help but think of Xiao Yeqing sleeping with him last night, Xiao Yeqing didn't think much about it, she was so tired that she fell asleep when she lay down.
Lu Jinzhang didn't know that Xiao Yeqing was asleep, so he asked in a low voice, "How is the business today?" β
What responded to him was Xiao Yeqing's even breathing.
"Asleep?" Lu Jinzhang smiled slightly, pulled up the quilt, and tucked it for Xiao Yeqing, "Sleep well, I've worked hard for you today." β
β¦β¦
The next day, Xiao Yeqing was woken up.
"Call Xiao Yeqing out!" The voice was particularly loud, with a thick anger, which was still a little familiar to Xiao Yeqing's ears.
Xiao Yeqing rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and put on her clothes, opened the door and walked over: "What's going on?" β
A woman rushed over and scolded her: "Xiao Yeqing, why are you so ruthless?" β
"He's your eldest brother, how can you see death and not save him?"
"Although you are married, he is also your brother, your own brother, and you are indifferent to watching your own brother being arrested."
Xiao Yeqing wiped the saliva on his face, and looked at the woman in front of him, that is, the mother of the original owner, who was so patriarchal: "Is he a waste?" Let me a weak woman help him? β
Xiao's mother pointed at Xiao Yeqing's nose: "I married you to such a good Lu family, you have so much money, why are you reluctant to pay off your brother's gambling debts?" β
Xiao Yeqing looked back at the dilapidated house that wanted to speak and stopped: "You call this a lot of money?" β
Xiao's mother was a little embarrassed: "I don't believe that you came out of the Lu Mansion and didn't take the money out?" β
Xiao Yeqing asked rhetorically: "When we came out, our clothes were all stripped off, where can we get the money?" β
Xiao's mother scolded excitedly, "Xiao Yeqing, don't talk to me, to put it bluntly, you just don't want to pay off your gambling debts with your brother, you just resent your brother." β
Xiao Yeqing said lightly: "You know that I resent my brother, what are you still looking for me for?" Do you see that I am living so badly and are ready to give me some money to help me? β
Xiao's mother suddenly turned into a miser: "You want to be beautiful, I will help you, why do you have to take your mother's money for a daughter who marries?" β
Xiao Yeqing sneered: "You are just standing again, just now I said that I should pay back my brother, and now I am looking for you to ask for some money, and I will become a married daughter again?" What is the rationale for this? β
She said again: "You should have put a lot of thought into finding here, don't you know that I am having a hard time?" β
Hearing the movement, the villagers came to watch.
Xiao Yeqing deliberately put on a grievance: "You are my brother's mother and my mother, why are you so partial to me?" β
And said: "Mother, I can't afford to eat now, you give me some money, I don't want too much, just give me a hundred taels, mother, you can do it." β
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Yeqing, and felt irritated for a while: "Xiao Yeqing, don't put on such a pitiful appearance, no one sympathizes with you." β
The villagers began to talk about itβ
"I thought my in-laws were here to help, but I didn't expect that they were here to fall into the well, and blame my daughter for not paying off her son's gambling debts?"
"How can there be such a ruthless father and mother in the world, how can you be ruthless?"
"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, my daughter is down, she doesn't care, she actually comes to scold people, who are they!"
The villagers' voices became louder and louder, listening to the ears of Xiao's father and mother, making them feel disgraced and their faces turned red.
Xiao Mu turned around and scolded: "You don't know anything, what kind of tongue are you chewing there?" β
A woman said: "It's all mothers, I just can't get used to you treating your daughter like this?" β
Xiao's mother replied: "What's the matter with you?" β
"When I see injustice, I draw a knife to help, but I can't get used to people like you who oppress your daughter!"
"That's it, get out of our village quickly, people like you are not welcome in our village, leave quickly."
"What's so rare about a gambling son, sooner or later he will lose all his family property and sleep on the streets in the future!"
The fighting power of the villagers is very strong, and after scolding, Xiao Mu didn't know how to answer, and her face turned eggplant.
Father Xiao was also scolded, it was very ugly, a big man didn't have the face to pestle there at all, so he left quickly.
Mother Xiao saw that Xiao's father was gone, and she also followed, her combat effectiveness was not as good as everyone's, and if she didn't leave, she would only be scolded!
Xiao Yeqing snorted, what kind of eccentric father and mother is this? I didn't expect the original owner's father and mother to be such a person! In their memory, they were not so unreasonable, and it seems that Xiao Liankun's incident stimulated them this time.
You deserve it, who let you condone Xiao Liankun's gambling?
There will be times when I regret it later.
Xiao Yeqing thanked everyone: "Thank you for speaking up, otherwise I don't know what to do?" β
"You are just too kind, and your father and mother are too much, they actually came to your husband's house to scold you for not paying back your brother."
"Where in the world is there a married woman who pays off the gambling debts of the eldest brother? It just doesn't make sense. β
"Ye Qing, you live your own life and don't care about other people."
Xiao Yeqing didn't expect the villagers to be so sensible, and she was very grateful to everyone for looking at her: "Thank you, I know what to do." β
"Uh-huh, let's get busy, let's go home too."
"Everybody walk slowly."
