Several people turned to look, and it was Xie Rongrong who said these words.
Xie Rongzhao didn't panic, but said calmly: "Brother Jingzhou bought this for me. I can give it to whomever I want. Does Second Sister think I didn't give it to you?"
These words were clearly intended to ridicule Xie Rongrong.
In the entire Xiejiazhuang, who doesn’t know what Xie Rongrong has done before?
She almost caused Xie Rongzhao to die, so it was normal for Xie Rongzhao not to give her snacks.
And as a child, everything depends on her preference, so who would really impose such strict rules on her?
Xie Rongrong was naturally unconvinced by the rebuke.
"Humph, that's all you say? Even if it's your food, you can't give it to him. Who doesn't know that he is a broom star who killed his own parents, and you are still so close to him? , aren’t you afraid of bringing bad luck to your family?”
Xie Rongzhao subconsciously turned his head and saw Xie Xiaolang's face turned pale, obviously stimulated by these words.
Xie Rongen frowned: "Shut up! We are all members of the Xie clan. As a clan sister, how can you say such things about Xiaolang? What kind of broom star? Where did you hear these words? Be careful, I will tell the village chief, Grandpa, Let him interrogate you!"
A flash of fear flashed in Xie Rongrong's eyes, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Xie Rongzhao quickly stood next to Xie Xiaolang, then held his hand and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xiaolang, she has a stinky mouth and we won't play with her."
Xie Rongrong was so angry that she stamped her feet, but the people in front of her favored Xie Rongzhao. She really didn't dare to say more for fear of being sued by her fourth brother again.
After all, she also knew that some things could be said in private, but they could never be brought up in public.
Many members of Xie Duo Xie's family are privately discussing Xie Xiaolang's bad fate. Some say he is a bad person, while others say he is born to deny relatives.
But these are all discussed behind closed doors at home. Who would mention this in front of Xie Xiaolang?
Even when the women were chatting together by the river, they would deliberately avoid this topic because the clan leader and village chief would not allow anyone to sow discord between clan members.
Xie Rongrong looked around and saw that there was no one else but them. She was so angry that she ran back with tears in her eyes.
Xie Rongzhao snorted at her back and put his little hands on his hips, looking a bit like Little Pepper.
"Huh, she just talks bad things about others and always says she is a lady. Huh, Xiaolang, let's ignore her and stay away from her when we see her in the future. We are not afraid of her, it's just people like her. , it’s not worth our trouble to make friends with.”
As soon as Xie Rongzhao finished speaking, Xie Rongen patted him on the back of the head.
"You're talking nonsense again. That's your second sister. Be careful that your eldest brother hears this and will punish you."
Xie Rongzhao was really afraid of this eldest brother. He shrank his neck, but he was not convinced verbally: "Brother wouldn't do it. It was the second sister's fault in the first place. Little Wolf is our clan brother. We should help each other."
Cheng Jingzhou could see that Guabao really wanted to protect this clan brother.
He thought he now understood why Xie Xiuwen was unwilling to adopt the child. He was probably worried that his family would be affected by Xie Xiaolang's fate again, right?
Of course Cheng Jingzhou would not know that Xie Xiuwen never believed in this, nor would he know that Xie Xiuwen did not value Zi Yi from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Ronglan coaxed the crying Xie Rongrong for a while, and then went outside to find Cheng Jingzhou and his party. She had thought about it, and came to apologize on behalf of her sister, so that she could have more contact with Cheng Jingzhou.
Unfortunately, when she arrived, she found that no one was here.
It's the first lunar month, so the village is quite lively now, with children playing everywhere.
Xie Ronglan stopped one of them and used candy as a temptation, and finally found out that they were going outside the village.
In other words, Cheng Jingzhou was going back to the county.
Xie Ronglan was anxious. She was delayed at home for a while, and if she chased him to the village entrance now, she might not be able to catch him.
Sure enough, before she had taken a few steps, she saw Xie Rongen holding Xie Rongzhao and walking back from a distance. Where could she see Cheng Sanlang's shadow?
Xie Ronglan was so angry that she pulled her handkerchief, stamped her feet, twisted her waist and went home.
When Cheng Jingzhou came here this time, he really wanted to take Guobao to enjoy the lanterns in the county.
His original intention was to come pick him up on the 14th day and then stay at Cheng's house for one night so that the 15th day could watch the lanterns together.
But Xie Xiuwen refused, saying that they would also go to the county on the fourteenth day, and there would be room in the shop, so the two families could watch the lanterns together.
Cheng Jingzhou was happy, but also a little disappointed.
He also thought about taking the baby to play alone.
But the reasons given by Xie Xiuwen are also very good. There are many people during the Lantern Festival, and there have been cases of missing children in previous years.
Xie Rongzhao had just been kidnapped once, but he didn't dare to do it a second time.
Cheng Jingzhou couldn't refute, after all, he was also worried that something would happen to Guobao.
So, the two of them agreed to go see the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival, and Cheng Jingzhou would bring someone over to meet them.
During the Lantern Festival, many small vendors will start their business, and restaurants and teahouses in the county will basically be open.
The Xiangxiang Braised Vegetable Restaurant is scheduled to reopen on the 16th day of the first lunar month.
Why?
Because Xie Xiuwen thought that he would stay overnight on the 15th night, wait for the 16th day to look around in the shop, and then go home at night.
After the Lantern Festival, Xie Xiuwen will go to Mingshan Academy. After leaving, he may not be able to see his wife and daughter for three to five months.
Xie Ronglan took the opportunity to ask Xie Rongzhao how she planned to spend the Lantern Festival. In fact, it was just to make a joke. If Cheng Sanlang came to pick her up, she, as her sister, could also go with her. She had already thought of the reason, which was to help take care of her sister. This would not only make her appear sensible, but also gain favor with Cheng Sanlang.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
Xie Rongzhao originally didn't know why Xie Ronglan was so kind to her, but seeing her come here again and again to inquire about the Lantern Festival, and occasionally mentioning Cheng Sanlang, she guessed what her cousin had in mind. .
"Sister, I heard from my second sister that my uncle is going to take you to enjoy the lanterns. I heard that there are many beautiful lanterns for sale in the county. Let's buy one each."
The corners of Xie Ronglan's stiff mouth twitched slightly. She always felt that this sister was too naive and it was not good. She didn't seem to understand anything she asked.
Could it be that I asked too tactfully?
How about being more direct?
"Sister Zhao, you and Saburo have been engaged for a long time. I heard that you enjoyed the lanterns together last year. Will you do it again this year? It's just that you are one year older now, and you should slowly learn some taboos between men and women. I’m afraid it won’t be right to walk with him alone again after you get up.”
Xie Ronglan's eager look could have just said: "Take me with you, so we won't be alone!"
