Chapter 63 Family Harmony
Lian Huaer knelt down for Zhang, and Zhang hurriedly wanted to pull her up.
"Huaer, what are you doing?"
"To be honest, Aunt Si said that the eldest wife of the Song family is a very decent person. Although you highly agree with this marriage, you treat me very well. But if something bad happens to us, the eldest wife of the Song family feels that she is disrespectful, and I am afraid that the marriage will be a little difficult. How can I live in a girl's family in the future? I am the eldest sister. If something happens to me, my sisters will not look good. Aunt Si, you have the best heart in our family. I beg for Aunt Si, at least I will make me happy. I will be grateful to Aunt Si for the rest of my life." Lian Huaer begged with tears.
"What did you say?" Zhang said, "Aunt Four hopes that you can marry well, but what can Aunt Four do for you?"
"I beg Aunt Si and listen to me. If you hear someone saying something that is not conducive to us, Aunt Si will tell you a few words for you." Lian Huaer said hurriedly.
"That's all there is to say." Zhang naturally agreed.
Several children from the fourth room were very filial, and Zhang agreed, so the matter was mostly done. Of course, there was also Lian Man'er.
"Let Man'er take these things." Lian Huaer looked at Lian Man'er with some compliment and said, "Man'er, don't dislike the meager things. When I marry into the Song family, if there are good things, I will never forget you, Man'er."
"Hua'er, I agree to what you said. You said this thing is so expensive. Man'er dares not take it, so you can take it back." Zhang said.
"I sincerely gave this to Man'er, I must accept it." Lian Huaer was still kneeling there, as if Lian Man'er would not accept the gift, so she would not get up.
Zhang couldn't do it, so he discussed with Lian Man'er.
"It's Sister Hua'er's wish, otherwise you can accept it." Zhang said.
Lian Man'er looked at Gu Shi and Lian Huaer. The so-called "eating people's mouth is short and the hands are short". Lian Huaer seemed to have recognized this truth. She had to wait until she accepted the gift.
She doesn't want Lianhua's things. But she knows that if a person like Lianhua'er doesn't accept the things, she will think that you didn't really agree to what she asked for. She will never give up. She doesn't know what else would do behind her back, so it's better to accept them and calm her heart first.
"Sister Huaer really gives it to me, you won't feel sorry for it." Lian Man'er said deliberately.
"How could I feel sorry for what I gave to Man'er?" Lian Huaer said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter whether something is not something. It's rare to be sincere..." Lian Man'er said.
"We are the cousins of our relatives, so of course I am sincere to my own sisters." Lian Huaer said hurriedly.
Lian Man'er refused again and then took the things down.
Even Huaer and Gu were relieved, and after saying a few more words, they got up and left.
"Your father and I have a set of clothes to wear. These two rulers, the autumn-scented one, cut a jacket for each of your sisters, and a skirt. The red one, cut a set of clothes for each of Wulang and Xiaoqi. I sewed it slowly and I can wear it when I came to the Song family to pick up the bride." Zhang said with two rulers.
"My uncle sent this here because she was afraid that we would not wear well then, so that the Song family would see praise and criticism." Lian Man'er said, "The second and third rooms should have also given it."
Xiao Qi ran out and ran back after a while.
"I gave three rulers to my second uncle, and only one for my third uncle." Xiaoqi reported to Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er touched Xiaoqi's head, "My Xiaoqi is smart."
Xiaoqi just laughed.
"Man'er, Hua'er suddenly gave you silk flowers and bracelets. What's going on?" Zhang lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and asked Lian Man'er. "Is it what you said just now, or did you do?"
Zhang is really not stupid, and he also sees strangeness. Of course, there is also the reason why Gu and Lian Huaer deliberately talked to her.
"How could I know? Well, just when I entered the door, I happened to meet the uncle who sent the housekeeper of the Song family out..." Lian Man'er did not hide it and told Zhang everything that happened at the door.
"Mom, you can judge this reason. Song Fu is the housekeeper of the Song family. Sister Huaer married to be a big grandma. We and Huaer are sisters of the same generation. The uncle spoke as if we were girls and servants. He even had to flatter the Song family, but he could not belittle us like this." Lian Man'er said last.
Lianzhier nodded.
"Man'er's words make sense. After hearing my uncle's words, I felt uncomfortable and couldn't explain them clearly. Now when Man'er said it, I understand. That's it."
"The Song family is a wealthy family. Although your uncle is a scholar, he is just a scholar. The money has to be paid back by others and seeking official positions for him. In front of the Song family, his waist cannot be straightened, so he can't talk so much. This butler Song Fu seems to be in power in the Song family." Zhang murmured.
"It's his own business to bend people if you want to flatter others. We should work and eat with both hands, so we should not bend down and flatter others." Lian Man'er said.
"If you don't want to curry favor with others, you don't have to think that we are servants." Lian Zhi'er also said.
"Yes, that's it." Lian Man'er responded.
Zhang was happy that his child was so tough.
"Zhier, Man'er, you two are not weakened because of the wealth of the Song family. Mom is happy." Zhang said, "But, in front of outsiders, you should give your uncle some face."
"Mom, everyone has stepped on our face, why do we have to save face for him?" Lian Man'er disagreed.
"If we can't write two hyphens in one stroke, even though we are separated, we are all from the Lian family. Your words reveal the background of your uncle's family and let people know that our family is not harmonious, which is not good for our family." Zhang said seriously.
Lian Man'er sat on the edge of the kang, and Lian Zhier and Xiaoqi also sat on the kang next to Lian Man'er.
"Mom, what you said makes sense. Sister, Xiaoqi, we must remember it in the future. We have different ideas and cannot be exposed in front of outsiders." Lian Man'er said. In fact, Lian Shouxin and Zhang have always done a good job in this regard. For example, in front of outsiders, they have always been very supportive of their children.
Even Zhier and Xiaoqi nodded.
"When my brother comes back, I will tell you what he said." Xiao Qi said.
Lian Man'er nodded.
"But mother, uncle, this is different." Lian Man'er turned to Zhang again, "It was the uncle who spoke first. When he said what he said, people knew that he did not regard my sister and I as niece, as a family, but only thought that we were inferior to him and were servants. If I didn't say anything, then we would also recognize him. If others think of us like this, who would still regard us? If we have to endure this to be harmonious in the family, then we don't want this harmony." If one party must make buns to be harmonious in the family, then this harmony is completely meaningless.
Even Zhier and Xiaoqi nodded heavily.
Lian Man'er always patiently reasoned with Zhang when encountering things. It was only one of the reasons why she wanted to convince Zhang. Another important reason was to listen to Lian Zhier and other children. They were all influenced by the buns and would naturally become dumplings in the future. Lian Man'er wanted to tell them what the correct idea was when encountering things.
Now it seems that even if the transformation of big buns still requires continuous efforts, at least small buns will not appear again.
"Mom, I didn't directly refute my uncle, I have already given him a face." Lian Man'er said again. If she had just refuted Lian Shuxin righteously, it would have completely ruined Lian Shuxin's face. Of course, her "no verbal" seems to be unexpectedly effective.
Zhang was speechless by Lian Man'er's words.
"Man'er, what your uncle and the others do is not authentic." After a while, Zhang said again, "But, we should still fulfill Hua'er's marriage. Man'er, I know that they harm you, you hate them, and my mother hates them, and she doesn't like them. But, after the matter has passed, your grandfather has punished them. We will not eat in the pot, but we are still family. Let us put it down if we can. Let it go, family, don't really be enemies."
Zhang's words are very serious.
"Mom, I will not deliberately fulfill Huaer's marriage, nor will I deliberately destroy it." Lian Man'er said.
She really didn't want to destroy Lian Huaer's marriage, but she never thought that she would definitely fulfill this marriage.
Lian Man'er once thought about Lian Huaer's marriage carefully.
If Lian Huaer's marriage fails, what will happen? First, the pre-trial gift must be returned to the Song family. Can that piece of fake jade be hidden? Even if it is hidden, there will be a loan shark to be paid. Can Lian Huaer pay the loan shark to be sold? The result will still fall on the heads of everyone in the Lian family. What does the Lian family pay for this loan shark? It can only sell houses, land, or even go to the salt siege to exchange their lives for money. This is a disaster for the entire Lian family.
Even if they separate, they cannot completely avoid disaster. Ultimate loans will not be reasonable to you. First of all, can they live in this house safely? Can the land they are assigned to be truly in their hands? Even if they don’t care about others, can they watch Mr. Lian and Zhou displaced, begging for a living, and selling themselves as slaves?
They had just separated and their foundation was not stable. Even if she gave Lian Huaer an eye drop just now, she would have stopped it. However, her idea could not let Lian Huaer and the others know, so as not to think they had some power. The big house family has been providing peace of mind for years. The key is to get the right person Lian's pulse and be fearless. Of course, Lian Man'er cannot repeat the same mistakes, which is a matter of attitude and strategy.
"Man'er, if you think so, you will feel relieved." Zhang was relieved when he saw Lian Man'er say he would not destroy it.
Going to the west room, Gu was talking to Lianhuaer.
"Man'er actually said that. No wonder you gave her the silk flower and the bracelet, but it cost nearly two taels of silver to beat her. Good daughter, you did the right thing." Gu said.
"Mom, I'm not willing to give up." Lian Hua'er said gritting her teeth.
