Chapter 12 Mrs. Xu
Xu Dagen looked at his wife with disapproval. Such a big girl is right at the age where she cares about face, so you can't wait until the grandparents and grandson can discuss it in private?
Outside the courtyard gate.
Xu Changqing looked at the two elders who came out with the crowd, especially her grandmother. Just now, her face had a gentle, apologetic smile, but now her face was stretched.
"What are you doing? The child is scared. If you have anything else to do, wait until you have been busy for a while. Don't you feel relieved if only one of the third family members is in there? You are very tired today. Come in quickly."
Mrs. Xu, Wang Shaoyao, used to be very considerate to her child's grandfather and basically did whatever her wife said. But now that she heard this, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"You go and have a rest first, I'm not tired." Seeing that it was indeed late and her husband didn't seem to want to go back to the boss's place tonight, Mrs. Xu turned aside and let her husband go inside first.
When Xu Dagen saw this, he knew that she had lost her temper. He passed her side and exited, but did not enter the courtyard gate. Instead, he sat on the threshold not far away, picked up his pipe and started to light a cigarette.
Mrs. Xu was not surprised and knew that he would not go in when her daughter-in-law was at home alone. Besides, she was afraid that she would beat the child. Normally, she would step back and go in with him.
But now?
"Don't worry, just sit still."
She quickly pulled her granddaughter, who was taller than her, with her hands and feet, and she was a little away from the door of the house. The noise behind her might have been loud, and her pregnant daughter-in-law in the room might not have heard it.
After stopping, Mrs. Xu bent down and grabbed an unknown thin stick from the ground, "Be honest, your palms are facing up."
Looking at his grandmother who was giving orders in a calm tone, Xu Changqing quickly waved his hands to his grandfather who was standing up hurriedly not far away, and honestly opened his palms towards his grandmother.
When Mrs. Xu saw that her granddaughter had no intention of resisting, the anger in her heart subsided a lot, but the movements of her hands did not stop at all. She still raised her right hand holding the thin stick.
"Pah...pah...pah..."
After three blows with the left hand, it was the turn of the right hand. The second blow had already lost strength. Xu Changqing looked at Mrs. Xu, and for some reason his mind began to recall the scenes in his dream.
"Milk."
"Isn't that enough?"
If that dream is true, you are so pitiful. In the end, you will be angry to death by your precious granddaughter... "If you are angry, just take it out on me..."
"Don't you think you made a mistake?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Xu Changqing knew that she was talking too fast, but how could she please her with a playful smile? She really couldn't laugh. So she really didn't know how the "her" in the dream could later become so dark-hearted and thick-skinned, and lie so casually.
It should be her. It would be better to let her die than let her speak out of conscience.
Biting his lip, Xu Changqing still spread his hands, lowered his eyes and looked at his own hands, "Is it wrong? I don't really feel that I did something wrong, what did I do wrong?
He dared to have unclean hands and feet in my house, so I didn't stamp him out for Xu Baimi's sake. But what did Xu Baimi do? She did it without even asking.
I asked her. The first time she beat Brother Gangzi without saying a word in front of my mother. The second time she rushed towards me, but I didn't fight back at the beginning.
Later?" As he said that, Xu Changqing raised his head and glanced at the sullen old lady Xu in front of him, "It's okay if you don't say it. If you feel unhappy, just continue, with me or without her."
What? Mrs. Xu listened, and when she heard this, a wave of evil fire rushed up in her heart. She subconsciously raised the stick in her hand and threw it away.
Xu Changqing looked at the thin stick that fell on her arm. Does it hurt? It hurts! She suddenly wanted to laugh for no reason, and she also laughed, and she burst into tears.
Looking at her abnormal granddaughter, Mrs. Xu gradually stopped and weakly lowered her arm holding the thin stick. Looking at her granddaughter who was looking up at the sky again, she turned and walked away without saying a word.
Is this another show?
Seeing this scene, Xu Dagen opened his mouth at a loss and wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. Seeing that his wife was finally about to enter the house, he silently patted his granddaughter's thin shoulder, let out a long sigh, and followed his wife.
"Father, mother, you are back." Bai Xiulan looked at the two elders who entered the house one after another, especially the mother-in-law who walked in front with a long face. She quickly coaxed, "Don't take it seriously. Who are the two sisters?
I’ve never had any quarrels or fights, so it’s just that the two of us got into a fight out of the blue.”
Mrs. Xu glanced at her daughter-in-law with complicated eyes. After thinking about it, before entering the east room, she still said, "You should go to bed early. The third brother and his father are not back yet."
Hearing this, Xu Dagen subconsciously turned his head and looked at the door of the outhouse. After a moment of surprise, he turned his head and smiled comfortingly at his daughter-in-law who was looking over, and continued to follow his wife into the house without saying a word.
Bai Xiulan was not surprised either. Just as her mother-in-law said, the man in her family had not been back for some days. The uncle and uncle who had sent the children back before must not have returned home so quickly.
As for her daughter? The eldest one is staying in her own small home to serve her husband who has beautiful eyes. The younger one is afraid that she will have to stay by her father's side for fear of settling the scores in the future.
These enemies, I originally thought that the older ones would not worry me, but fortunately the younger ones were obedient, but I didn’t know that the younger ones would be even more troublesome than the older ones. Look at the whole situation, one by one, there is no stopping.
Bai Xiulan saw that her elders had already entered the house, and knew that if she did not enter the house, her mother-in-law would tell her to go to bed quickly. She quickly picked up the oil lamp placed on the hole in the west wall and entered the west outer room.
Outside the courtyard gate.
Xu Changqing looked up at the sky and remained still for a long time. After a long time, she looked in the direction of the threshing field with a wry smile, then lifted up her hands that were starting to hurt and rubbed her face.
"Uncle?"
Bai Xinsheng walked around the wheat field and saw that the night watchman had not neglected his duty. He made some arrangements for tomorrow with the team leader who was also staying in the field and had not returned home, and then left.
Just as he was about to reach his door, he suddenly heard a voice calling him. If it hadn't been for the soft voice in the dead of night, he might not have been able to hear it.
Xu Changqing saw that Bai Xinsheng, who was taking long strides, finally stopped. She quickly walked out from the shadow of the tree beside the road and walked up to meet him.
"Afraid that I agree to that kid's unworthy request?" Before Xu Changqing could speak, Bai Xinsheng revealed the reason why his niece was waiting here.
"I am right!"
"..." Bai Xinsheng was silent. If it hadn't been so late and the child was still tired and dizzy during the day, he would have really wanted to have a good chat with the child.
Who said you were wrong? If the problem was with you, how could you stay here peacefully? You would have been beaten long ago! "Okay, I'll let you know in advance when he comes up with the conditions."
"That's not necessary. I don't care about reputation at all. What is reputation?" Can it be used as food? Xu Changqing lowered his head and kicked the dirt on the ground, "It's just a good opportunity for people to see if there are any boys in my family.
It's the same, so my mother can feel more at ease. It doesn't matter whether he is a younger brother or a younger sister."
As expected of your father!
