After the Republic of China

The girl looks cute and cute, looking at you with admiration. Even saints are not immune to this.

Mrs. Yan's heart was softened by the child's eyes, and she sighed secretly.

She pointed to another letter on the table and said, "This time your father was more polite and sent me a letter."

In the past, Shao Mingkang would not write to Mrs. Yan, his aunt, to say hello.

Shao Yunshi also looked down upon her father's actions. This kind of pragmatism was really not worthy of a cultivated scholar.

Seeing that the old aunt was a little sad, Shao Yunshi hurriedly said: "But tell me, what are the benefits of going to Peking?"

Mrs. Yan picked up a flower with dew and sneered, "No, this letter doesn't belong to your father at first glance. I really don't know what's wrong with your father now? He's becoming more and more out of tune. To the elders Can someone else dictate your letter?"

Mrs. Yan, the nephew of her mother's family, who had never given birth, valued her very highly, but it was a pity that her kindness was misplaced.

Shao Yunshi didn't know the old aunt's painstaking efforts, so she followed Leng Ran and said: "Father is no longer the pure scholar. I heard that father's work depends on the support of the Bai family and the Huang family."

Mrs. Yan's eyes were sharp, "Your father was really brought up by your grandmother..."

What is it?Nothing more than being as stupid as a pig.Shao Yunshi twitched the corners of her lips sarcastically.

From her perspective, what can the Bai family and Huang family do to support Professor Shao?With his grandfather's hidden connections, as long as his father kept studying and teaching students in a down-to-earth manner, nothing would harm him.

It's a pity that Professor Shao didn't understand. Seeing that his grandfather refused to ask for help, he lost his sense of control and was controlled by others.

Mrs. Yan also knew about her nephew. There were some things that she couldn't say in front of her children, so she stopped talking.

At this time, her mood had calmed down. Mrs. Yan didn't pay attention to Shao Yunshi's expression, and just said: "I heard that Di Yuan's child is still being raised in your grandmother's yard?"

Shao Yunshi was criticizing Professor Shao's short-sightedness and incompetence, but the old aunt suddenly changed her subject.

Shao Yunshi, who felt somewhat guilty, immediately straightened his mind.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yan didn't look at Shao Yunshi, and she didn't see the disapproval on Shao Yunshi's face.

Afraid that the old aunt would find that he was distracted, Shao Yunshi quickly picked up the conversation, "Di Yuan only recognizes his grandmother and is not very close to the Bai family. However, he is good with his second sister."

Mrs. Yan had never seen the young master of the Shao family very often, and sighed: "This is not good. Why doesn't your grandfather educate him himself? Mingkang has already been raised crookedly, and Di Yuan is here. Do you think the Shao family's inheritance will be cut off?" ?”

This is also what Shao Yunshi is puzzled about.

She thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Auntie, how much do you know about our family?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Mrs. Yan's heart trembled.

Shao Yunshi never quite understood why such a wise and elegant grandfather could tolerate his father becoming so philistine and ignorant, yes, just ignorant.

Moreover, Grandpa seems to have no intention of nurturing his younger brother.

She looked at the relationship between her grandfather and her grandmother, and she couldn't see how good it was. So why did she indulge her grandmother so much?

She had buried these words in her heart for many years and never found a chance to ask them. Today was a good opportunity.

Moreover, something happened at home a few years ago. She believed that the old aunt must know something.Seeing the old aunt frowning, she didn't hide anything, so she told more or less what she could know about what happened at home during the New Year.

Sure enough, the old aunt obviously knew what happened in the Shao family, maybe more than what she just said.

Then, Shao Yunshi glanced at the old aunt and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her relaxed eyebrows.

Her little move was immediately caught.

Seeing that she was still scared, Mrs. Yan patted her lightly and said, "You are at a disadvantage in front of me. If it were your grandpa, he might have scolded her."

Shao Yunshi knew that the old aunt did not blame herself, and asked directly: "Auntie, why didn't grandpa stop my father and ask him to stay in Yangzhou? Even if he didn't stay in Yangzhou, there are no good universities in Nanjing and Shanghai to teach."

This involves some secrets in the family. Mrs. Yan glanced at her smart eldest niece and felt that it would be okay to tell her something.

Moreover, I heard from my brother in the past that this child not only inherited the intelligence of their Shao family, but also had wisdom that was beyond her age.

Naturally, after staying with her for so many years, she knew nothing about this child's nature, so she was naturally extremely relieved.

Then Mrs. Yan touched Shao Yunshi's hair lovingly and asked, "Do you still remember the Niu family from the Northeast?"

ah?These words were confusing. Shao Yunshi's heart trembled, and she nodded: "I know, I came here at the beginning of the year, but I don't live at home, and my grandmother didn't ask us to recognize our relatives."

After listening to Shao Yunshi's words, Mrs. Yan looked out the window with a dazed expression and smiled sarcastically. This sister-in-law is really shameless.

Shao Yunshi naturally saw the old aunt's expression in her eyes, felt strange, and secretly thought about the story here.

Mrs. Yan only remembered her for a moment, then came back to her senses and said quietly: "In the early years, our Shao family owed a great favor to the Niu family, so your grandfather married your grandmother..."

"Ah? And for this matter, who owes it?" Shao Yunshi was extremely curious.

Mrs. Yan was not annoyed when her words were interrupted. She just tapped Shao Yunshi's forehead in annoyance, "What about your composure? Why do you get more and more out of control as you get older?"

Shao Yunshi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and giggled twice.

Mrs. Yan actually enjoyed her child's lovability very much, smiled, and continued: "You don't need to know the specifics. Although your grandmother's natal family doesn't have many people left, the Niu family still has some roots in the Northeast. See The lady who came to that house is probably going to stay."

"Niu Chunyue?" Shao Yunshi has never seen her before, but she knows.

Seeing that she knew, Mrs. Yan didn't find it strange. She just thought Shao Lanxiang was talking nonsense, so she nodded and said: "Well, the family this girl had arranged to marry earlier broke off the engagement. I don't know the specific reason. Your grandmother It seems that I want her to stay with me."

"Stay with me? Could it be..." Shao Yunshi didn't dare to think about it.

Mrs. Yan also despises her sister-in-law's thoughts. No matter how close her parents are, they shouldn't be so contemptuous.

Then, she took a deep breath and said sarcastically: "Your father has no real wife."

It was really what she thought. Shao Yunshi's heart sank. Then there was something wrong with the relationship between her grandmother and her natal family that she had thought earlier.

Mrs. Yan was still scared as a child and said hurriedly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will always settle your matter before your father gets married. I will not give others the opportunity to influence you based on my status." marriage."

Shao Yunshi was not worried about this and did not argue. She just frowned and asked, "Since the two families can still move around, why didn't the Niu family live at home? It seems that my grandfather didn't meet the Niu family at that time."
