The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 28

Xie Yujiao was arranging the material of the cotton-padded jacket with Mrs. Xu, and said, "According to my mother, that Jiang is really not a thing. I said why I owed our family so much money and didn't replace it. I wrote a guarantee letter? It's just I didn't see anything like that in Daddy's study."

People have been here before letting go, Xie Yujiao arranged all the things that should be arranged, and she also asked the maid to go to the front yard to get ten cotton-padded jackets. Xu has been idle recently and wants to help make a few. Xie Yujiao also That's it, it's all to pass the time, the two of them sorted out the things for making padded jackets, and then chatted about the matter of the eldest aunt.

"I don't know where this thing is. I just heard your father talk about it. When my aunt left the cabinet, the old man was still there. We can't interfere in this matter. Your father doesn't have any brothers and sisters from the same mother." , she is only one of my own sisters, who else can I love if I don't love her, but now that your father is gone, I don't know how the Jiang family will abuse her!"

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she understood the bruises on the forearm of Aunt Cai's forearm.

"The old lady is only my aunt. She must have given her a dowry when she got married, right? The Jiang family can't be out of the picture like this, right?" Ask Xu a word.

Mrs. Xu then said: "I told her about this, no matter how good the husband's family is, the dowry must remain in her own hands. She hasn't given birth to a son yet. If she loses the dowry first, someone else will give birth to a son later." Come out, aren't your two cousins ​​pitiful?"

Xie Yujiao was taken aback when she heard that, so this aunt is not completely confused, she still knows something, she just saw her like that, she has a good temper, now if it is because Master Xie passed away, the in-laws will only treat them as thank you. There is no one at home, and she looks down on her again, which makes people angry.

Xie Yujiao thought for a while, and then she just ordered: "Mother Zhang, when my aunt is leaving later, you can order your servants to choose a few high-quality horses from the warehouse, brightly colored materials, and small things that uncle brought back from the ship. , Blanket pendants and so on, rare ones I haven’t seen before, pick a few for my aunt to take back, and point out that I’m for my two cousins.” Now Xie’s family is really filial, and she can’t wear those bright materials, It's better to give it to someone to ask for personal favors. As for those rare things, no one else has seen them before. If there are a few who are not jealous, let the people of the Jiang family take a look. No one in the family dared to neglect her.

Seeing Xie Yujiao's arrangement, Mrs. Xu only nodded her head. The two finally picked out the lining and face of the padded jacket, and Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "You know no needlework since you were young, so don't worry about it now." These, just wait for me to combine the lining and the face together, and then you will be busy with cotton, wouldn't it be easy?"

Xie Yujiao heard what Xu said, and she just said coquettishly: "My mother loves me. If I don't know how to hold cotton, it would be really shameful. I was thinking that otherwise, I would take this opportunity to learn some sewing, maybe it will be useful. worthy place."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "If you want to learn, I will teach you slowly in the future. Now you are in a hurry, and you can't learn well. This needlework also has some skills. It is no better than reading the account book. easy."

Xie Yujiao opened her eyes wide and listened to what Xu said, she just nodded and smiled, "I knew my mother was the most powerful!"

Seeing Xie Yujiao teasing her, Mrs. Xu blushed and laughed, and murmured: "When I was young, I managed my own shop by myself. Later, your father is so capable. Gradually, I will let go of these things. , I am really powerless now."

The auntie cried for a long time at the old auntie's side, only heard the chattering of the maids outside, she stopped her tears a little bit, stood up and said to the old auntie: "I have been out for half a day, the child is still young, I am not at ease, Come see Auntie in two days."

The old aunt felt guilty towards the eldest aunt in her heart, and she was quiet for a while. She only held her hand, and she was still a little bit reluctant. With this pull, half of her red and swollen forearm was exposed. The old aunt saw, Immediately, his eyes widened, and he asked in a loud voice, "What did you do? Could it be that the bastard still beat you?" No matter how cruel the old aunt was, she watched her daughter being abused by others. My heart rushed up all of a sudden.

"It's not the good marriage you gave Zhang Luo. Anyway, I can't get up this breath. If I die, it's fine." When the old aunt heard this, she remembered that her fall was originally the Bodhisattva's will, and she thought Probably because I didn't accumulate yin virtue in normal times, but now that I have reported it to my children, I said with red eyes: "What are you talking about, if you want to die, I, the old man, will die first."

After hearing what the old aunt said, the aunt finally softened her heart a bit and said: "You can live in peace anyway, so that I don't have to worry about you. Sister-in-law has always been a kind person. You don't have to worry about eating and drinking now. Why bother?" Come on? If you want to watch me die, you will be happy."

When the old aunt saw what the aunt said, she was also a little scared, she just looked at her worriedly and said: "Go back quickly, so that he won't look for anything. Next time you come, remember to bring the two sisters here. Don't stay at home, you're still worried when you go out."

The aunt saw that the old aunt finally spoke human words, she just sighed, nodded and said: "Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to the child, you have to give birth to it, I will go first."

The eldest aunt was about to go out, when the little maid came in outside and said: "Auntie, the eldest girl has sent a lot of things to the two sisters, and they are already piled up on the carriage outside the door. The eldest girl said, please auntie Go to the front yard to have lunch before leaving, and go back at this time, it’s not too early or too late, and it’s not easy to make a fuss at home, if the aunt and grandma finish talking with the old aunt, then go with the servant.”

The old aunt and grandma also had to admire Xie Yujiao a little bit at this moment, she was so frightened that she fell down, and she was able to warm up to her daughter as if nothing happened, she couldn't match this kind of demeanor.But even so, the old aunt still felt a sigh of relief. If it was because of herself, the eldest aunt would be cold-faced when she returned to her mother's house, that would be really ugly.

"You go there, it's rare that she still has this kind of thought, and it's not in vain for her to call you aunt."

"Then I'm really going to pass. My aunt is so good at giving birth. To be honest, you are half buried in the ground. Why are you angry with her as a little girl? No matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to live with her first. When you go, you are not a serious master, she doesn't even need to kowtow to you, and treating you like this now is just doing her best."

The aunt's words were very reasonable, and the old aunt couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while, so she sighed to herself, raised her eyebrows and thought for a long time, probably feeling that she was also covered in lard I'm worried, why did I get into this dead end.She moved her body a little, touching the wound on the back of her buttocks, and felt the pain again.

My aunt went to Xu's courtyard, and she saw that there were four pairs of bowls and chopsticks set up for lunch in the living room. Xie Yujiao was cutting a few pots of bonsai in the corner with scissors. He went up and said, "Auntie, is my aunt feeling better?"

The aunt smiled and said: "It's better, it's like this when you get older, and you'll be fine if you lie down."

Xie Yujiao saw that the corners of her eyes were red, and she thought that she was still wounded. It was normal for her to cry when she met her mother. Well, maybe the Jiang family won't treat her like this.

Just as she was thinking, the little maid from outside helped Aunt Shen to come in: "Girl, Aunt Shen is here."

Mrs. Xu came out of the room and greeted: "Everyone is here, let's start the banquet, but I am still a vegetarian now, so there are many dishes on the list, don't think that my aunt and grandma don't treat me well."

It was just a simple meal, so my aunt naturally wouldn't think so, she was also at Yinlong Mountain that day, and she also knew about Aunt Shen's pregnancy, so seeing her come to eat together, I also sincerely admire Xu's demeanor.

After lunch, seeing that the weather was not very good, the eldest aunt got up to leave, and Xie Yujiao just sent it to the second gate in person, and the two chatted for a long time while walking.

"The old aunt and grandma are getting old, and it is inevitable that sometimes they rely on the old to sell the old and are disrespectful to the old, so I ask the girl to take care of it."

"My aunt said so, so I naturally understand, and I don't say polite words to my aunt. My father just passed away, and the family is at its busiest. I just contradicted her a few words, and as for her fall..." Xie Yujiao thought secretly, it really wasn't her fault.

Before she finished speaking, the eldest aunt said: "I understand the difficulties you and your mother are in. This is her fault. Let her lie down in peace now, so that I don't have to worry about it, and you are not at peace. .”

Xie Yujiao felt relieved when she saw that she spoke so openly, and smiled again and said, "Auntie, next time my aunt and grandma have some old problem again, I won't ask a doctor anymore, I'll just invite you Come on, be more effective."

The great aunt then lowered her head again, a wry smile appeared on her face, but she had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.
