Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 195 Crying
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin who was standing in a corner not far away shook her head and sighed softly: Why bother?This is not my hometown in Huzhou, and I still use the trick of crying and making troubles, is it interesting!Annoyed the old man, there is no good fruit to eat!
The men in the front hall heard the crying, and Xia Xiuping's other sister Xia Xiulan ran to say something, and they all rushed into the back hall together, and the whole room was full for a while, and people crowded into a ball.

Mrs. Lin watched a group of people come in, the first one was Mrs. Xia, followed by Mrs. Xia, and even the two aunts were inside, but only Mr. Xia Xiuhe, Mr. Xia, was not there. After hugging the younger daughter, he led the eldest daughter and went out from the side to find her husband.

Second Master Xia Xiuzhi had heard his mother-in-law crying a long time ago, as soon as he walked in, his eyes swept behind Xia Jinshi first, and happened to meet his cousin Jin Fumei, Jin Fumei pursed his lips and smiled at him, lowering his eyes slightly , Second Master Xia withdrew his gaze, and stood obediently beside Old Master Xia, watching Tong Shi crying and wiping away his tears expressionlessly, neither uttering words of comfort nor stopping her crying, as if Tong Shi had nothing to do with him .

Xia Jinshi is an elderly person and knows taboos. Although she was very angry with her eldest son, Tong's crying made her even more annoyed, and she scolded: "Unlucky! I haven't lived enough, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Xia asked, "What is this for?"

Xia Jinshi glanced at Xia Xiuping and Pang Ruxue, and said angrily, "Ask your good son and wife!"

Just as Pang Ru was about to speak, Xia Xiuping answered calmly: "It's nothing, dad! The second sibling doesn't respect Qing'er's mother enough, so I said a few words to her!"

Old Mrs. Xia clicked his tongue, thinking that the second daughter-in-law is ignorant, you tell the second son, and let the second son talk about his daughter-in-law. How decent is it for you to teach your sister-in-law a lesson as an uncle?

He stared at Xia Jinshi again: "You are in charge of my daughter-in-law. If you don't teach her well, what are you doing here? The eldest son is different now. He is a sixth-rank Beijing official. Our wedding banquet has not yet been held. Many colleagues and fellow villagers have come to give gifts and visits, and there are always people coming and going at home, so noisy like you, let people hear, what is it like?"

Xia Jin looked at Pang Ruxue out of the corner of her eyes, and said, "In the past, all the daughters-in-law were under my control, which one was disobedient? But old lady, you also know that things are different now. When the eldest son is promoted to a Beijing official, some people feel that I am going to be the imperial wife, and here is the capital city, and her natal family lives nearby to support her, so she wants to be superior to others, her eyes grow on her forehead, how can she still obey the teachings of my mother-in-law? Greetings, mother-in-law, serving food and tea soup with my mother-in-law, she would be bothered by my words! I see, I have to ask my mother-in-law to say hello to her sooner or later tomorrow!"

Pang Ruxue froze for a moment, and said softly: "Mother, what you said is a shame on my daughter-in-law!"

Xia Jin snorted: "Am I not right? How many words of what I said in the past few days have caught your ears? Huh? I asked you to open two more yards to house aunts and aunts. They are staying here for a long time. Yes, you let the two families squeeze into the guest yard! The two cousins, Miss Fu, that’s all. If you think she was married and abandoned, then I will arrange for her to live in my yard. Miss Qiao is just like Le’er , they are all girls who have not left the court, she likes Leer's Leisurely Xiaozhu, so what's the matter with two people living together? Leer didn't say anything, but you can't say no! There are also Jun Geer and Pei Geer, One is seven years old and the other is five years old. It is just right for the two brothers to live in Chunzezhai to study. You just said that it is the place where the in-laws old man pointed out to Brother Ming to study in the future! Oh, I don’t understand, how old is Brother Ming? A three-month-old baby who doesn’t know how to eat rice cakes, doesn’t even want to cry a few more times, I don’t know what will happen in the future, isn’t it a waste of money and things for you to leave such a big and exquisite yard unused for him? ? Brother Jun and Brother Pei are already adults, they are the eldest grandsons of our Xia family, no one is allowed to belittle them!"

Pang Ruxue listened to Xia Jin's talk about Brother Jun and Brother Pei, her tone was loving and proud, but when she mentioned her son Xia Yiming, she spoke in a disdainful tone without even meaning, Pang Ruxue's heart tightened , with tears in her eyes, she shook off Xia Xiuping's hand, and walked outside quickly without saying a word. The two accompanying maids were placed by her side by Pang Shizhi, and they were not afraid of Xia's family. Xia Jinshi rolled her eyes, followed closely behind the mistress and left.

Xia Xiuping let Pang Ruxue leave, looked at Xia Jinshi with a pale face, but said to Mrs. Xia:
"Father, did you hear that? That's how mother treats my son! That's right, my son is only three months old. He doesn't know how to eat rice cakes because he can't swallow them. He doesn't like to cry. He just growls every day." Sleep, but Yiming will grow up well, and will never be like what mother said, what will happen in the future! Chunzezhai is the place where Yiming studies. When he is two years old, I will definitely take him to study! Brother Jun He and Pei Geer, if they like to read, I originally wanted to arrange a good yard for them, but now, I don’t think it’s necessary! Dad, my son has said so much. If mother looks down on my wife and children so much, then this family It must be divided! My son studied angrily since he was a child, and he was lucky enough to earn a part-time job. Over the past ten years, he has accumulated a family property for the Xia family. You can live happily ever after! If you want to go back to Huzhou, I will invite the official ship to send you off. If you stay in the capital, then you have to listen to my arrangement: separate the family! There is a ready-made house for the second and third younger brothers to live in. Sister and brother-in-law, I will find another house for you. My annual salary is not much, and it can be divided into three parts, one part to support my wife and children, one part to support my parents, and one part to my brothers. In the future, my son and girls will grow up. If I have the ability to start a family and start a business, I can still support one or two, until they have children and become parents, I will stop doing it! So, do you think it is reasonable? I am tired, and I have to go to the government tomorrow to do errands , take a step first! Sit down and talk slowly!"

After Xia Xiuping finished speaking, he bowed to the dumbfounded Mrs. Xia and Xia Jinshi, and walked away. The two brothers-in-law hurriedly followed behind, shouting "Uncle", and followed them all the way.

A group of people in the room were still in a daze, Tong Shi had stopped crying a long time ago, and Xia Xiuzhi and Xia Xiuzhi were still digesting Xia Xiuping's words. For the future, whether a daughter can marry into a wealthy family in the future is all on the elder brother's hands, but now they are going to split up, what should I do?
The two sisters Xia Xiulan and Xia Xiulian shook Xia Jin's family and complained: "Mother, mother, are you confused? How could you say such a thing? No matter how young and weak Yiming is, he is also the flesh and blood of the eldest brother! Isn't he the Xia family's son?" The root seedlings? Eldest brother only has this little blood at the age of 36 and seven. You don’t love him too much, but say that he is not easy to support, which makes elder brother heartbroken!"

Xia Jinshi came back to his senses, scolded his two daughters with a haughty face: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I curse him to be short-lived? My own grandson, don't I love him?"

Old Mrs. Xia also regained her breath at this time, and weighed the finely carved ebony wood walking stick that was given by the Hou Ye and grandson-in-law in his hand. He felt that it would not break after being knocked on the head a few times, so he swung it at Xia Jin. Xia Jinshi was caught off guard when he was hit on the shoulder, and screamed in pain. Seeing that Mrs. Xia was about to hit him, she was so frightened that she hugged her head and dodged. After being beaten several times, the room was full of crying and screaming for a while.

Mrs. Xia felt that the precious crutches given by her grandson-in-law were specially made for beating people. The body of the stick hit the flesh, and the feel was really good. One side cursed:
"Ignorant stupid woman! I can't be more stupid! I have worked so hard to cultivate the boss to have such a reputation. Is it easy for him to honor his ancestors, to be filial, and to be friendly to his brothers? Seeing that several sons follow him, they can share the wealth equally from now on. Since I won’t see my brothers and sisters lagging behind, and they can be promoted by two ranks within three to five years, the time for the Xia family to become masters will come soon... But you prodigal woman, Crow’s mouth! What kind of nonsense are they talking about? Hmm? From now on, let’s just let the little grandson have nothing to do, if something goes wrong, you don’t want to live!”

Mrs. Xia is a 60-year-old scholar, tall and thin. Apart from reading and writing, he played chess and chatted with others all his life. He never did any heavy work. He took care of it, but the old man practiced calligraphy all the year round, but his wrist was a bit strong. Xia Jin was chased and beaten until he cried for his father and mother, so he had to kneel down and beg for mercy, crying so miserably.

"Damn old man, you are so cruel! Are you trying to kill me? I just said a wrong sentence, but the crime is not fatal!"

Old Mrs. Xia snorted: "Did you just say something wrong? You have said and done too many things these days! I didn't want to care about you. Yes, who would have thought that you would finally annoy Da'er, this time, Da'er is determined to separate the family, and when the second and third complain, I'll see what you do!"

Xia Jinshi stared at Jinyu, curled his lips and said: "He dares! He was born by me. If he becomes rich and forgets his mother, I will sue him!"

Old Mrs. Xia picked up the ebony stick again, thought for a while and then put it down, and said: "Only you are mean to his wife and children, I'm sorry, when did he forget you? If you dare to flatter Da'er outside If it is unfavorable, it will make people gossip in vain and ruin my Xia family's good family style, so I will tie you up now and send you back to my hometown in Huzhou tomorrow!"

Xia Jin was taken aback, and immediately said: "I live with my son, why do you send me away? I won't go!"

Old Mrs. Xia paused for a moment with the ebony wooden cane in her hand: "If you don't leave, you have to listen to me! From tomorrow on, whatever the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law say or do, you just listen and don't talk too much!"

All kinds of noise in the second hall would naturally be reported to Xia Xiuping and Pang Ruxue. The couple just exchanged glances with each other, then ignored it, and just cared about teasing their son.
