Chapter 61
As soon as I walked to the door of my grandfather's house, I saw my second aunt come out in a hurry.Seeing a few children, she smiled and beckoned them to go home to rest, but turned around and walked down the street.

Yun Xia suddenly called out to her: "Second Aunt, where are you going?"

She stopped in her tracks, but she didn't look back, and the voice drifted over: "I'm going to do some shopping."

Yunxia guessed that she was going to buy ingredients to entertain her mother and herself. The family conditions were already difficult, and Yunxia couldn't bear to let her spend money anymore.Perhaps, the second aunt has to borrow money first.

So she turned around and ran to catch up, pulled her sleeve and said, "Second Aunt, can you go back with Xia'er first, I have something important to discuss with you and grandfather."

Yunxia hadn't come for many years, and now she made such a serious request and looked at her eagerly, the second aunt felt that it was difficult to refuse, so she had to agree.So, she let Yunxia go home with her arm in her arms.

In the main room, my grandfather was handing over the house deed and title deed he had found to his mother, who held it in her hand and looked at it carefully.It has been a long time, and the deed paper has turned yellow, but fortunately, the handwriting is still clearly visible.

Seeing the granddaughter came back with the second child on her arm, the grandfather asked the second child strangely: "It's already this hour, why did you come back?"

The second aunt said with a smile on her face, "Father, it's Xia'er who wants to talk to you about something."

Grandfather looked at Yunxia, ​​and Yunxia happened to be looking at him too.The grandparents and grandsons met each other's eyes, observing each other's expressions.The emotion in Yunxia's girl's eyes was very complicated, which caused a trace of uneasiness on her grandfather's kind face. Did the child discover something?
Probably not. In the past few years, I have deliberately concealed the situation at home. I have always concealed it very well. Didn't my daughter not even find out?It's impossible for this child to detect it the first time he came here today, right?I should be worrying too much.

The old man was comforting himself, when he saw the little grandson rushing into the house, he raised his breath of relief, yes, this little guy must have said it.He bit the bullet and asked, "Girl Xia, what do you want to tell us?"

Yunxia said to Zhiyuan: "Brother Yuan, you take Xiuzhu and Xiangmei to the kitchen and let them cook, okay?"

The second aunt waved her hand nervously and said, "Xia'er, you can't help it. The two of them are not familiar with each other, and they can't find anything. We'd better wait for the second aunt to do it later. If you want to say something, just say it quickly."

"Second aunt, don't worry, the two of them are fine, besides, there is still brother Yuan." Yun Xia smiled at her.

"Your younger brother is a child, he doesn't know either."

Unexpectedly, Zhiyuan was not happy, he poked his neck and said, "Mother, I understand."

Yun Xianiang took the opportunity and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can rest assured that they will cook with Yuan'er." Then she looked at Xiuzhu and Xiangmei, who immediately understood, and said in unison: "My relatives, Mrs. , the slaves promise to do a good job, you can talk about things carefully, the slaves will leave first."

The second aunt threw a look at the grandfather asking for help, but the grandfather didn't stop him, he just waved his hand and said: "The second family, just do as Yunxia said."

Now the second aunt didn't understand, she said, "Father, isn't this the way to treat guests?"

Yun Xianiang quickly comforted her: "Second sister-in-law, it's okay, this family is talking about different things." She turned her head and said to the two maidservants, "Go."

The two maids took Zhiyuan out of the house, and Yunxia followed them, and after ordering the two to let Zhiyuan take them to buy some good ingredients, Shi Shiran turned back to the house and closed the door behind her.

Yun Xianiang always thought that what her daughter was going to talk about was the death of her grandmother, so she said to her daughter: "I have already told your grandfather and second aunt about your grandmother."

The second aunt suddenly said: "Xia'er is talking about this matter, we must investigate, the old lady is such a good person, who would kill a thousand swords, and actually have a crooked intention to harm her? I don't think God will forgive that villain .”

Yunxia nodded: "We will definitely find the enemy who killed grandma, and then let him pay in blood."

Grandfather nodded: "Your father will make arrangements for this matter. I believe that with his ability, it won't be too long before he finds out the real culprit. Girl Xia, don't make detours, just tell me what you have."

Yunxia laughed, her grandfather was really shrewd enough, he probably guessed it pretty well.

It's just that the mother and the second aunt haven't kept up with the rhythm of the grandparents and grandchildren, and the two of them are in a state of confusion. I don't understand what kind of riddles the elder and younger are playing?
"Then grandpa, don't blame Yunxia for saying it directly. Today I went to the street to play, and after listening to the neighbors in the neighborhood, I realized that the situation in my grandfather's house is very difficult. My grandfather, uncles, and of course my second aunt, in order not to implicate me. Mom, you kept everything from us and took all the hardships by yourself, even the second and eldest cousins ​​dropped out of school to earn money."

The second aunt jumped up when she heard it: "Xia'er, don't listen to those people in the neighborhood, how can we be so like that?"

But before she finished speaking, her grandfather interrupted her calmly: "I can't hide it from Miss Xia anymore."

And Yunxia's mother, who was so shocked by Yunxia's words that she almost forgot to close her mouth, asked her father with trembling lips: "Father, our family has reached the point where we can't afford Zhen'er and Xuan'er to study? Why don't you tell me?" Daughter, I can help. Also, every time I come back, you always say that the family is doing well, are you reporting good news or not bad news? "

"Don't blame dad. Dad lied to you because he was afraid that you would be reprimanded by the grandmother in charge of the mansion. Life in your in-law's house would be difficult. We were fine, and we got over it. Back then, when dad started his business, Being cheated of money was even more sad then than it is now, it’s not the same now.”

The second aunt took her mother's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, dad didn't intend to hide it from you. His old man is planning for you. Besides, the old lady in your house has already hinted to dad many times, lest we Will ask her for alms. Dad said that she is like that, even if we go out to beg, we will not bow our heads in front of her."

Tears welled up from my mother: "Father, that old woman humiliated you so much?"

"Father doesn't care about her tricks. It's just that you are still under her control. What dad says can't make your life difficult. Especially since Yongqin is often at the border, keeping your mother and three in the mansion, it is even more important." Judging by her face, dad blames himself for not being your strong backing, so at least he should not drag you down." Grandfather said calmly, his weather-beaten face was even calm.

"Grandfather, how can you not be our strong backing, just for the house deeds you gave to my mother back then, and the farm, and now these properties are all golden hens that can lay eggs." Yunxia pointed to the house deeds in her mother's hand He Tianqi said.

Mother looked down at the paper in her hand, raised her tearful face and said, "Xia'er is right. Dad, Xia'er's grandmother told me before when she was alive that these industries make a lot of money, especially The farms are all large tracts of fertile land. In a good harvest year, it is enough to pay the general's mansion for a year. Now, these are held in the hands of the old women for their squandering, but my own father and brothers are living such a miserable life. In Baba's day, I am too useless to be a daughter, I am ashamed!"

After the mother finished speaking, she stood up and walked in front of her grandfather, plopping down on her knees.
