Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 201
Axiu just listened silently, and after Li Xin said the final words, she slowly said: "Sister-in-law, I know, I said I am not reconciled, I just..."

After a pause, Axiu continued: "I have never seen a man who is as manly as Mr. Shen. He is cold-tempered and not easy to get close to, and I know that too." Axiu sighed : "Mrs. Shen came to look for me. Her eyes were shrewd. She probably saw that I had that kind of intention for the third master, but she didn't point it out. She just asked me if I would like to be a concubine for the third master. The third master never said this... ..."

Axiu spread out her palms and rubbed them carefully, her voice became lower and lower: "Mrs. Shen said that the third master's fate is hard, and he will eventually be unsatisfactory in his wife's room. The third master is not willing to talk about marriage again in this life and suffer the same anger as before." ,so……"

"You are so confused!" Li Xin couldn't help interjecting: "How can you believe what Mrs. Shen says? Even if Mrs. Shen allows you to be a noble concubine, it is still a concubine, and the essence has not changed. Besides—"

Li Xin paused, "Besides, even if you want to talk about marriage, you shouldn't talk about it with you. You, a girl's family, directly talk about marriage with the man's parents. What's the point?"

After speaking, she persuaded her earnestly: "Axiu, listen to sister-in-law, push it away. You have also said that it is best not to have a deep relationship with a big family like the Shen family."

Axiu lowered her head, sighed after a long time, and let out a long breath: "Sister-in-law, I knew you would not agree."

She raised her head and looked at Li Xin and said, "You don't want me to suffer the anger that I might suffer, and you don't want me to be wronged, I understand."

"Silly girl, if you understand, you should walk on the road of understanding." Li Xin shook her hand and said, "I know how many men you have met in this village, the girl Huaichun, they are all the same, the third master of the Shen family She is a member of the army, and it is natural to have courage. You have never seen it before, so of course you care about it. But if you agree, you will never be able to get rid of the Shen family in this life, and become someone else's concubine. It’s up to you. It’s better to refuse now than to regret it for the rest of your life.”

Axiu moved her mouth, and Li Xin continued: "Girls always have a bit of vanity, no matter how sensible girls are, and my sister-in-law knows that you will be tempted, but you are not reconciled. Why are you a concubine and not a wife? But Axiu, you have to abide by certain rules when you live in this world. We are a small farmer's house, a small household, and if we have an 'in-law' relationship with the Shen family, there will always be criticism. You yourself are not comfortable in the house, It's tiring to deal with those individuals. Why bother?"

"Sister-in-law, I know..."

Axiu was silent for a while, and finally let out a long sigh: "When Yuanxiao goes back, I'll go back to Mrs. Shen."

"Talk to Mrs. Shen." Li Xin moved his mouth, and only told her this one sentence, then took her hand and rubbed it on the palm of his hand for a while, and said: "Studying medicine is very tiring and hard, and you don't need to use your hands less. , Look at your hands, there seem to be some calluses."

Axiu slowly leaned her head on Li Xin's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Maybe I really have a bit of vanity. I heard sister Haitang from the Gu family say before that being a concubine also wears gold and silver." , the glamorous one, I still yearn for it a little bit in my heart. Sister-in-law, will you look down on me?"

"If you really agreed right away, I would look down on you. If you didn't answer, it means that you have hesitation in your heart, and you are still sane." Li Xin patted her on the shoulder and said, "No matter what happens in the future, Be sure to keep two points of reason, sometimes an impulse can make you go another way."

Axiu nodded silently, her eyes resting on Li Xin's shoulders, as if she was sobbing.

"Axiu..."

"Sister-in-law, let me lean on for a while..." Axiu's voice was full of tears, "I have never had a mother since I was a child. Although my aunt loves me, it can be seen that I seldom see her. After my third sister got married, I can't find a lot of things on my mind." People say that a sister-in-law is like a mother. I didn’t feel that way until my sister-in-law came. Before that, Sun Xique could only be sarcastic and mean..."

Li Xin was startled, put her arms around her shoulders and said comfortingly, "Axiu thinks of your mother?"

"Well, I have a vague impression." Axiu said softly: "The last thing I saw was a big pool of red, and I froze at the door. It was when my mother gave birth to my younger sister..."

"Okay, it's all over..." Li Xin said softly: "My mother-in-law will be happy to see Axiu in the sky now that she is graceful and graceful, and she is also studying medicine and has a promising future."

Axiu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and only after a while did she say "hmm" in a low voice.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was supposed to be a Lantern Festival. The town must be very lively at this time, and the lantern festival will continue to be held.But Li Xin wasn't in the mood to go to the town anymore, and they all went to Guan's old house at noon on the fifteenth day.

Li Xin asked Guan Wen to ask the old juncture, and Daoist Wang said that their house should not be exposed, and the old juncture should be very loud.It's just that the matter of the river beach must be mentioned today, and what Taoist Wang said still needs to be relayed to Guan Ming.

When they arrived at the old house, Hu Yueying greeted her up front as usual, smiling all over her face.Li Xin exchanged some polite words with her, and moved a small bench to sit in the yard.

The sun is just right today, shining brightly and warmly.Axiu and Amei leaned together and whispered in a whisper, while Hu Yueying asked Li Xin to make things happen.

Hu Yueying talked very vigorously, although she was sitting, she was not idle, she was nimbly slaughtering pigweed, and whispered to Li Xin: "... father's big fat pig is sold, sold I don't know how much, but just looking at the father's expression should be a pretty high price..."

Then he talked about the two remaining pigs in the pigsty of the old house: "...there is not much fat compared to that one. I am afraid that I will have to raise them for half a year or something. I don't know what my father-in-law is planning now. Then Do you want to carry the two piggies back to the empty pigsty..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Yueying, don't tell me about pigs. I don't know much about raising pigs. When you were a girl, you also raised pigs at home?"

"For raising, there are two ends every year." Hu Yueying came out with one free hand and stretched out two fingers, with a somewhat smug expression on her face: "My father is familiar with the way home, I usually can't lift pigweed, Scoop it all into a bucket and let my father carry it in and pour it into the pig trough. After all these years, my father has become a proficient hand, and there has been no trouble."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I've always heard that Yueying is capable."

Hu Yueying licked her hair embarrassingly. Li Xin greeted her with pig grass clippings on her hand, a little panicked, and saw the white ear exposed after licking her hair. I feel that I have ruined such a pair of beautiful ears.

Hu Yueying was very courteous to Li Xin. She talked about this and that, and then talked about the facial cleanser Li Xin gave her. She praised that it works well after using it, her skin is better, and the spots on her face have faded a little. .Then he said: "...It's also very effective, I think it won't be long before it's used up, it's a waste for me."

At the end of the story, Li Xin could hear it. What Hu Yueying said was that she was going to run out, so she tentatively asked Li Xin if she could give it to her again?
Li Xin paused for a moment, and then said: "If Yue Ying is used up, just come and get it from me, no need to be polite."

Li Xin thought that Hu Yueying would at least have to decline, and finally agreed.Unexpectedly, Hu Yueying immediately nodded and agreed: "Then thank you, sister-in-law!"

These words... made Li Xin feel choked up.

At the beginning, Hu Yueying's words made her feel a little uncomfortable, but the words she said eagerly later made Li Xin smile bitterly in her heart.Even if she wants it, she doesn't need to be so eager!Maybe she will think that Hu Yueying is a petty person - Hu Yueying herself doesn't feel it at all.

Seeing her happily picking up a dustpan of pig grass and carrying it to the stove, Li Xin let out a breath.

Think about it or forget it, two families live together, she doesn't have to say anything about Hu Yueying.These are also trivial matters, presumably she will only open her mouth with the Guan family, and she will definitely not say these things when she goes out.

Besides, there is a shrewd Guan Quan, anyway, Hu Yueying is his wife, according to Guan Quan's temperament, he will not let Hu Yueying cause trouble for him.

At noon, when the sun was high and the food was almost on the table, Guan Ming came back unsteadily, followed by a young man about his height.Walking to the door of Guan's house, Guan Ming seemed to want him to come in for dinner. The man waved his hands twice, said something with a smile, then turned and left.

Guan Ming came in with a smile on his face, and was taken aback when he saw Axiu and Amei sitting in the yard: "Why are you two here?"

"Father forgot that today is fifteen? The New Year's Eve is almost over. Where did Dad come from for a stroll?"

Axiu stood up and asked a question, Guan Ming laughed dryly, did not answer her words, but asked: "Then your elder brother and they are all here?"

"father."

Guan Wen came out of the firewood room, hugged a bundle of firewood, and saw Guan Ming frowned slightly: "Are you going to the village to gamble again?"

"Just for fun, there's nothing wrong now anyway."

Guan Ming waved his hand, went straight to the main room, and said, "Your sixth brother will be back in the evening, since you are back, let's tidy up the table."

Axiu raised her eyebrows at Guan Ming's back, and led Amei into the kitchen to ladle water to wash her hands-a habit formed in the medical clinic. In the past, except for Li Xin, she would wash her hands before and after meals at home. She followed I seldom do this except after learning it a few times.

The two sisters dried their hands, and when they turned around, they saw Hu Yueying holding the rice cooker.Hu Yueying smiled and said, "Axiu, there are strict rules in the town, you have to wash your hands before eating?"

Axiu called "Sister-in-law Four" lightly, then nodded, and helped set the table for the women to eat in the kitchen—she heard Hu Yueying and Li Xin talking just now.

At this moment, Axiu frowned immediately—the table was covered with a layer of greasy dirt, and meal residues were also clinging to the surface of the moth-eaten table, which looked really dirty.

"what happened?"

Li Xin brought the soup up, saw Axiu standing there in a daze, and hurriedly asked a question.

"It's nothing." Axiu didn't turn her head, and replied, she wiped the table with a rag and wiped it several times before she felt a little satisfied.

Li Xin naturally noticed her actions.Li Xin glanced at Hu Yueying, who was busy shoveling pigweed, thoughtfully.
