The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 14

The old aunt and grandma saw that the scene was quite stiff, and she couldn't hold back her old face after all. She thought to herself that this daughter-in-law looked a little thoughtful, why did she raise a stupid son?But at the beginning, it was only when she heard that the child was stupid that she felt it was easy to handle and agreed to help them.

"Yo... this child is so honest and heart-wrenching, it's so interesting." The old aunt said with a stiff smile.

The smile on Xu's face over there had already subsided. Although it was a good thing for the child to be honest, what he said really made her heart choke.This horoscope has not even been written off yet, and I just want to come in and become a young master. This round-faced daughter-in-law looks at her smilingly, she really has a lot of thoughts!

However, Mrs. Xu was born as a young lady of a wealthy family, and her self-cultivation is different from ordinary people. She still had a smile on her face, and said: "Bailing, go in and get some snacks for this child."

When the child heard that there was something to eat, his eyes lit up immediately, and he kept staring at Bai Ling who went into the room, wanting to see what she was eating.

It’s good for a family in the countryside to be able to eat enough food. No one has extra money to eat snacks, so they thank their family for their wealth, so they always have all kinds of snacks at home, and Xu’s doesn’t eat much. They used to entertain guests’ children in the past. , Recently, the family has observed filial piety, and there are not many guests coming to walk around. This snack is made, and no one eats it.

Bailing came out with a plate of various pastries, which contained almond crisps, pea yellow, dajingguo, and a few pieces of sesame cakes.As soon as the child saw the good thing, he couldn't stand still, so he rushed over in a hurry.Seeing the child coming, Bai Ling said with a smile on his brows: "Don't worry, take it easy, I'll put it away and eat slowly."

When the round-faced daughter-in-law saw her, her complexion turned dark again, and she hurriedly reached out to pull the child.The old aunt and grandma on the side can't see anymore, and she is really blind, so she also brings such things home.The child was in a hurry to eat, and he had already reached the plate with one hand. When the round-faced daughter-in-law pulled him, his fingers hooked on the plate, and there was a bang, and all the pastries and snacks on the plate fell to the ground.

Mrs. Xu has always been generous and kind to children. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help frowning, and said modestly: "You didn't hurt the child, did you? Bai Ling, please clean up quickly."

Bai Ling went outside with a bitter face and asked the rough envoy to come in to clean up. Xie Yujiao who was on the side saw it, but smiled coldly in her heart. If they don't give them some color, all the children in the five clothes will die in the future. Come on, will the Xie family want to live a stable life, I'm afraid these plates are not enough for them to throw!
Xie Yujiao frowned and thought for a while, and she already had an idea in her heart. The plate on which things were placed was a Longquan kiln Fulu high-legged plate. In Xie Yujiao's eyes, it was a complete antique, but it seemed to be quite common in this age. The daily utensils I have seen in the past are all like this. I think this thing must be common in rich people, but for the poor people in Xie's house, I am afraid that it is hard to tell what the price of this thing is.

"Auntie, let the child eat if he wants to eat it. Now it's all right, but the plate was smashed. If I remember correctly, this plate cost several taels of silver! There was a set, but now one is smashed. , I can’t make a complete set, mother, what do you think should I do? If I buy another one separately, I’m afraid it will be even more expensive!”

As soon as the old aunt and grandma heard Xie Yujiao's words, she understood that this little girl must have no good intentions again. There are not many dishes like Xie's family, but there are ten or twenty dishes. How can they make up a set? I really don't see it. What about the past?

It's just that it's embarrassing enough for her to bring these two people in now, and her old face hasn't gone anywhere yet, so is it possible to intercede for them?This intercession didn't go well, and it was in vain that this little girl didn't want to see her again.The old aunt weighed it up and felt that the business was not worth it, so she obediently shut up and sat aside to watch the show.

The round-faced daughter-in-law grew up poor and used ordinary rough porcelain bowls. She had never seen such fine things before. When Xie Yujiao said that this thing was worth a few taels of silver, she only believed it. She was so frightened that her face changed color. Zhang Yuan's face suddenly turned into a bitter face. I only looked at my aunt and grandma for a second, and saw that my aunt and grandma also had an attitude of nothing to do with me, and I became more anxious. I saw my son again. He was still standing on the side foolishly, and in a moment of anger, he pulled the child and beat him on the ass.

"I made you gluttonous! I made you gluttonous! You are a reincarnation of a starving ghost! You..."

The child couldn't understand the reasoning, so he burst into tears, and the old aunt and grandma beside him frowned a little more.Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to look at her anymore. She turned her head and saw that although Xie Yujiao's eyes were cold, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she knew that she did it on purpose, so she smiled and said, "Big sister, stop beating the child, the child can What do you know, although this thing is valuable, it is still used by people, if it is gone, it will be gone.”

Seeing that Mrs. Xu came out to be a peacemaker, Xie Yujiao was secretly happy, and started to let Bai Ling come to her side, and whispered a few words in her ear.After a while, Bai Ling came out of the room, holding a paper bag in his hand, and handed it to Xie Yujiao.

Xie Yujiao stood up, walked over and stuffed the paper bag of pastries into the child's hand, and said, "Take it home and eat."

Seeing Xie Yujiao's behavior, the round-faced daughter-in-law felt blushed again. Xie Yujiao only raised her head, looked at the round-faced daughter-in-law and said, "Auntie, it's all the adults' fault if the child is not good. Why are you beating him?" Well, if you hadn't teased him, he wouldn't have hit the plate. It's a trivial matter to hit the plate, but it's a big deal if the child breaks it. Besides, we are all surnamed Xie, and we were originally a family. So what are you doing! If you really figure it out, how many families in the Xie family house have not received the help of my father and grandpa? Now that they have both gone, only us orphans and widows are left. It's time for us to rely on you, but now one by one is coming to add trouble, what is the reason for this?"

The round-faced daughter-in-law didn't know that Xie Yujiao had such eloquence, she didn't know how to reply to her every sentence, and felt that her thoughts had been seen through, so there was no need to hide it, so she said, "Dear What the girl said makes sense, but who in this world doesn’t want to be rich, ordinarily our family is far away, but it’s still within the Xie family’s five clothes. When the second uncle brought the children to see you, why did he just send us away? Is the family missing? I am also thinking, maybe this child can hit it off with you..."

Xie Yujiao didn't wait for her to finish speaking, just raised her arm, stopped her and said, "The genealogy of the Xie family is still in my room, and there are children with names and surnames within five clothes of my generation. I won’t miss it, and my aunt will tell us when I go out, so don’t let other people go in vain.” After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she glanced at the old aunt and grandma on the side, and saw her sitting with downcast eyes. She didn't say a word, she thought it was a bit funny, so she just continued: "The old aunt is old now, and she is already at the age of enjoying the blessings, it's not good for you to disturb her old man because of these things, if I remember correctly A few days ago, the old aunt said that her chest was tight."

The old aunt shook her eyelids, glanced at Xie Yujiao's tender and flushed cheeks, and said angrily in her heart: You girl!As long as you have a good memory!But there was a smile on his face and he said: "It's getting better these two days, it's no wonder that the girl is still thinking about my old woman!"

Mrs. Xu looked at the old aunt and grandma who looked like you were helpless, she couldn't laugh or cry, she hurriedly said: "Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to Xikuayuan to serve your father a meal."

According to the rules here in Jinling, when a person dies, they have to serve three meals a day until Grandpa Xie is buried.Xie Yujiao looked at the sky, it was indeed getting dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain again, so she said, "I'll go with my mother."

Seeing that Xu's mother and daughter had left, the old aunt spoke coldly, and said to the round-faced daughter-in-law standing by: "Shunde daughter-in-law, you should go back earlier, it's getting late."

The round-faced daughter-in-law looked embarrassed. She didn't get any benefits from running this trip, and she was taught a lesson. How could she be ashamed of someone who is more than [-] years old?But at least one thing in her heart is quite happy, seeing how powerful this girl from the Xie family is, it might not be easy for those uncles and uncles in the clan to take advantage of the Xie family.Anyway, in a word, the benefits that one's own family can't get, don't let others get it!
"Auntie, I'm really sorry, my child..." The round-faced daughter-in-law turned her head, glanced at the baby who was holding a paper bag and eating hard, and a thump hit him on the forehead: "Eat, eat, eat!" I will eat you!"

The child was about to cry again, the old aunt glared at the round-faced daughter-in-law, and said, "Didn't you hear what the eldest girl said, if the child is not good, it is because the parents have not taught it well!"

When the round-faced daughter-in-law heard the words, she just followed behind the old aunt and grandma with a deflated face, and went outside.

When the old aunt went back to her small courtyard, Aunt Fang was waiting at the door of Chuihua. Seeing the old aunt go back, she just went up to meet her with a smile and said: "I just went to sleep, how is the child in Shunde? I heard from my father, It doesn't look very smart, it should be the one you like, aunt!"

The old aunt hadn't gotten over her anger just now, and when she heard such unfavorable words, she raised her head and scolded Aunt Fang, "Let your father grow some eyeballs! You're looking for such stupid people!"

Aunt Fang scolded the horse even if she couldn't flatter her, and she was dumbfounded on the spot.
