peasant girl

Chapter 20, Worry

Zhu Hua'er glanced at Zhao Shi, pursed her lips tightly, and couldn't help stamping her feet.

Looking at Zhu Xiao, his eyes turned red.

Why is it different from what the second sister said?
Zhu Xiao was very calm, went into the house, took out the old things in the house, and put them on the bamboo poles to dry.

Then let Zhu Hua'er fetch water and tidy up the house.

Although it's still the same room, after cleaning it, it doesn't feel so oppressive.

"Second sister, tell me, will they secretly eat lunch and leave us nothing?" Zhu Hua'er couldn't help asking.

"I don't know in the future, but today, they dare not!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, sneering.

Put the clothes of the three people in the basin and take them out for washing.

As for Mrs. Zhao who was crying under the eaves, Zhu Xiaoshi wouldn't even give her an extra look.

I don't wash my clothes at home, but go to the creek behind. There is still water in the creek now, so I don't have to go too far. When the water in the creek dries up, I have to go to the river to wash.

When the two sisters appeared, there were also adults washing clothes by the stream.

"Oh, it's Xiaoxiao and Hua'er!"

"Auntie!" Zhu Xiao called softly, washing clothes with Zhu Hua'er.

The clothes of the three sisters were shabby, but Zhu Xiao didn't dislike them, she just lowered her head, grabbed some saponin powder and washed them slowly.

Several women wanted to ask something, but when they saw the two sisters, they all sighed, "It's so pitiful!"

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Hua'er didn't say a word, they washed their clothes and left, and the women spoke louder.

I don't know who said, "I'm afraid it's not my own. The third wife of our village is fierce. She controls her daughters-in-law to death. Although she is also harsh on her granddaughters, she is still worse than Lu's." too much!"

"It's, it's..."

"..."

The voices of discussion behind her gradually died down, Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Xiao who had a calm face, although her sister was still the same sister, she felt that something was different.

"Second sister..."

"Ok?"

"Mother..." Zhu Hua'er hesitated to speak.

Zhu Xiao stopped in her tracks, looked at Zhu Hua'er seriously, and said softly, "Hua'er, if she is always like this, let's pretend we don't have this mother, don't force her, don't think about it!"

He reached out to touch Zhu Hua'er's messy hair.

Mrs. Zhao may or may not know that one of her daughters was sunburned to death yesterday, and the person standing in front of her now is a fake.

Zhu Xiao could even feel that the original owner's consciousness in her body was gradually weakening, maybe knowing that she decided to stay, she would be kind to Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er.

As for Mrs. Zhao, she will give her a chance and force her to change. If it is true that the rotten wood cannot be carved, whether Mrs. Zhao will be happy or unlucky in the future will be her own fate.

She, Zhu Xiao, was not a soft-hearted person, if she really got angry, she would do anything.

"Second sister..."

"Let's go back!" Zhu finished the novel and walked ahead with a basin in his hand.

Zhu Hua'er hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Zhu family
Zhu Erlang got off the carriage at the entrance of the village and came back with steamed buns.

Mrs. Lu was waiting at the door, and when she saw Zhu Erlang coming back, she was taken aback, "Erlang!"

"Mom!" Zhu Erlang called out, and handed over the steamed buns, "I bought steamed buns, let's eat steamed buns at noon!"

"..."

Lu Shi was shocked.

Because in these years, Zhu Erlang has never bought anything at home, and he gives money a fixed amount every month.

"Erlang!" Lu Shi took the steamed buns and couldn't help saying, "Erlang, you really need to take care of it, you don't know, she stabbed your sister-in-law with scissors today. She is so young and has such a vicious heart. What happened, I..."

"Why did she stab sister-in-law? Did mother ask?" Zhu Erlang interrupted Lu's words softly.

In my heart, I blame myself for not caring about the children before.

Lu's heart choked, feeling strange, "What are you asking, children can't treat their elders like this, I..."

"I'll go and ask what's going on!" After Zhu Erlang finished speaking, he didn't care about Lu Shi's face, he stepped inside and saw two sisters, Zhu Xiao, coming with basins.

"Xiao Xiao, Hua'er!" Zhu Erlang called out.

"..." Zhu Xiao was silent.

Zhu Hua'er hesitated for a moment, then called softly, "Father!"

Zhu Erlang nodded, "Xiao Xiao, did you stab your aunt with scissors?"

"It's stabbed!" Zhu Xiao didn't evade, and answered seriously.

"Huh!" Zhu Erlang was startled.

When Lu heard this, he yelled sharply, "Look, Erlang, you still don't know how to repent at this moment, tell me, should you beat me for this virtue?"

"Mother!" Zhu Erlang yelled heavily, took a deep breath before continuing, "Mother, don't shout, let me ask you first!"

Lu's face turned blue with anger.

It's almost impossible to accept Zhu Erlang's change.

"Xiao Xiao, tell me!"

"Because Zhu Jinzhi went to my yard and called us little bastards. I warned her that if she continued to call me like this, and called my sister, I would beat her up. After killing her, she cried and called her mother, who came to beat me with a stick, so I resisted with scissors!" Zhu Xiao said clearly and clearly.

Neither humble nor overbearing, nor afraid.

He straightened his back and looked at Zhu Erlang and Lu Shi indifferently.

The dull eyes don't seem to be looking at family members, but rather strangers.

She didn't call Aunt Xiao Lu, nor Zhu Erlang's father.

Mrs. Lu wanted to talk nonsense about Zhu Xiao, but in front of Zhu Erlang, thinking of old man Zhu's orders, she didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Zhu Erlang took a deep breath, "I see, you go to dry the clothes, and then apologize to your uncle!"

"I won't apologize, because I'm not wrong!" Zhu finished the novel and left with the basin in his hand.

Holding her breath, Zhu Hua'er followed Zhu Xiao lightly, lowered her head, trying to reduce her sense of existence, for fear of being beaten up by Mrs. Lu, or stopped and scolded by Zhu Erlang.

She firmly believes that being by Zhu Xiao's side is the safest.

After the two sisters left, Mrs. Lu began to say again, "Erlang, look at it, look at it, how will you marry in the future, why..."

"Enough!" Zhu Erlang snorted, "Mother, please teach them before, and I will do it in the future!"

After Zhu Erlang finished speaking, he stepped forward to chase the two sisters Zhu.

In his heart, he felt that Zhu Xiao was actually right.

But he also felt that such a fierce girl would really not be able to marry in the future, so he decided to persuade Zhu Xiao to be gentle.

"..." Lu Shi looked at Zhu Erlang's back, unable to speak out in anger.

Seeing old man Zhu standing at the door of the main room, he shouted aggrievedly, "Old man!"

"..."

Old man Zhu didn't say a word, took a pipe and took a deep breath, exhaling out the circles under his eyes, his expression was very heavy.

A person who never cared about family affairs suddenly changed his temperament.

He suddenly thought of a sentence, and broke out in silence...
