"What's going on with you two little girls? Did you take the wrong medicine in broad daylight? Are you so noisy all of a sudden?" Gu Ruosu was still sitting comfortably on the comfortable recliner, not asking for help from these two. The little girl who came said.
"Grandma~ Sister Yihua and I heard the rumors outside and were afraid that you would be wronged, so we came to find you~"
"Yes, grandma, sister Yi and I were afraid that you would be angered by those people, so we came here~"
Xie Yiyi and Xie Yihua squatted beside Gu Ruosu and said sincerely.
Gu Ruosu looked at these two little girls with pure filial piety and was quite happy. She felt that her love for these two little girls was not in vain, so even though these two little girls just made her really noisy, she still tried her best. He spoke in a soft tone:
"Okay, I know you two little girls are filial, but you two little girls don't have to worry about me. It's just some rumors. Although your grandma, I am a little simpler, but after all, I have lived for such a long time, so with you Grandpa has seen some things in the world, so there’s really no need to worry.”
"I, on the other hand, am a little worried about your little aunt Gu Shu. She has just arrived at our house, is unfamiliar with the place, and has no one who knows how to live with her, but suddenly something unexpected happened..."
"You two little girls... are the most filial. If you have time, you might as well go and enlighten your little aunt Gu Shu... You are the same age after all... Some words are much more convenient for you than for me. "
As soon as Gu Ruosu finished speaking, he nodded gratefully and then said:
"Don't worry, grandma, sister Yihua and I both understand these things..."
"Actually, sister Yihua and I originally wanted to go find my aunt, bring her here with us, and comfort you and your aunt together, but... we just went to my aunt's yard, but no one was there. No, I don’t know where I went…”
Xie Yihua also nodded and added:
"Actually, we originally wanted to bring Sister Yi Nian with us, but when we went to look for Sister Yi Nian just now, we couldn't find her... And the two remaining sisters are still young, so these things are not big. It’s clear…so, it’s just the two of us coming.”
"However, I think that maybe Sister Yi Nian is with Aunt Gu Shu. Sister Yi Nian is the most filial. How could she not come to comfort Grandma after knowing the news? Sister Yi Nian must be thinking of comforting Little Aunt Gu Shu. Aunt, then, the two of us will come together to find you, grandma~"
Xie Yihua's every word was perfect, almost making it impossible for Gu Ruosu to find fault with these grandchildren, and preventing Gu Ruosu from having the slightest impulse to vent his anger on these grandchildren because of the rumors outside.
Although Xie Yihua is stupid, he also knows that everything Xie Yihua said is for the sake of peace in the family, so Xie Yihua also echoes it.
Gu Ruosu naturally saw the intentions of these two little girls, but she did not tell them. On the contrary, she felt very gratified that these two little girls not only took credit for themselves, but also cared about her brothers and sisters at home. Therefore, he followed the two little girls very cooperatively and praised the children in the house for their pure filial piety.
However, Gu Ruosu was still a little worried about whether her gentle niece would cry secretly because of this incident...
But it was obvious that Gu Ruosu's worries were unnecessary. As soon as Gu Shu heard about this rumor, she was thinking about where this rumor with a nose and eyes came from.
Gu Shu thought about guessing that it might have come from someone in the mansion who was not convinced by Gu Ruosu or the current situation of the Xie family. Therefore, she immediately screened the population of the mansion in her mind, and then , he followed his guess and quietly came to the door of his second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, alone...
She happened to bump into her mother who had the same idea as her and came to look for her mother. She wanted to express her gratitude and went into the Song family's yard. As a result, she listened to a mother-daughter battle in the corner...
——
(I am your lovely dividing line~)
Xie Yi Nian hasn't stepped into Song's courtyard for a long time.
Since that day, her father Xie Haoxue took her and her younger siblings to live with her grandmother. She has consciously or unconsciously started to avoid her patriarchal mother. The mother and daughter met each other in a few months. The number of times is almost countless...
Not to mention the number of times Xie Yi Nian took the initiative to step into the Song family's courtyard to make himself angry, but that was none of them.
Therefore, when Xie Yi Nian was entertained by the Song family's personal maid again and walked into the Song family's courtyard, he was actually a little emotional...
In fact, the Song family's yard has not changed much. It is still elegantly decorated with flowers and rockeries. However, compared to the crowds of maids and slaves a few months ago, now it feels a little deserted...
After Xie Yi Nian walked into the main house where the Song family now lives, this feeling became even stronger...
Just look, in the huge room, there is only Mrs. Song, wearing a sky blue long skirt with a pattern of sunset flowers, holding a book and leaning on the soft couch in the room, saying something. Not sent.
There were four or five sandalwood incense burners lit around Mrs. Song. The smoke was thick and the aroma was rich. It was inevitable that some frowns would appear on the Xun's face as she expressed her gratitude...
Xie Yi Nian covered his nose with a handkerchief, and then looked around. It was obviously much empty. He had lost a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and the house decoration became simple and elegant. He couldn't help but feel a little sad...
Thinking about what happened just a few months ago, my mother was very wealthy in the mansion. If there were any good and fragrant things in the mansion, except for my grandparents, most of them would go into it. Mother, who has the power of housekeeping like an aunt, has all the good things she wants in her pocket...
But now, even the most fashionable jade vase cannot be seen in this house...
Xie Yi Nian couldn't help but feel some sympathy and distress for her mother, but her thought only lasted for a moment...
After all, he knew what kind of temper his mother had. She had not talked about her quarrel with her eldest aunt for many years, and she showed little dedication to the daughter she gave birth to. When things didn't go well, she would take it out on her and her sister... Now, in this world, , not to mention it’s retribution... but it also has some elements of seeking death...
"Daughter, please wish your mother a happy life and good health~" Xie Yi Nian stood about ten steps away from Mrs. Song and said respectfully to Ms. Song.
"Hey... Isn't this our noble girl... How noble it is to be raised next to an old lady... She didn't come back to see me for ten days and a half... Why, now, the sun is coming out from the west... Come on Find me……"
"Mom is joking. You have always been the biological mother of your daughter and younger siblings. Even though your daughter is growing up under her grandmother's knees, she still remembers her mother." The good-natured man continued to salute and said.
"Humph?! Do you really care about me? If you really care about me, you should bring your brother to say hello every day, instead of waiting for me to come to find you, or go to the old lady every ten and a half days to say hello. When it was time, call your brother out and show me..." When Mrs. Song thought of her son who was rarely seen, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, and she said to Xie Yi Nian without any pretense.
Xie Yi Nian was not angry and just continued:
"The daughter and younger siblings will naturally miss their mother. However, her father said before leaving home that he hoped that the mother would reflect on herself more, so the daughter did not dare to bring her younger siblings to the house to bother her."
"But my daughter and younger siblings really care about their mother. We know that her mother is overworked, and she has not had much money all year round in order to help her uncle turn around the business."
"So, after my daughter and younger brothers and sisters came to live with their grandmother, except for the younger brother's share of the monthly money, each of my sisters and I would give 40% of the money to the mother as a token of filial piety. , I hope my mother and uncle can solve the urgent need..."
When Mrs. Song heard this, she looked slightly worried, looked at Xie Yi Nian and said:
"For those of you who are daughters, if you still have some conscience, get up and forgive me."
"Thank you, mother."
Although Song asked Xie Yi Nian to stand up, she still did not let Xie Yi Nian sit next to her. Therefore, Xie Yi Nian was still standing until now, and Song also ignored her daughter's hard work and took care of herself. He started by saying:
"Your grandmother does have some money and is generous to you. The monthly income of three little girls is so much..."
"But after all, you are a businessman and have no taste. I am not very satisfied with the longevity lock you gave your brother earlier... Although it is pure gold, the design is a bit tacky..."
"By the way, recently, isn't it said that your grandmother favors favoritism and is mean to your unrelated grandchildren? Is it true or false..."
"Your brother is not angry with your grandmother... If he is... come and tell me quickly, I will take your brother away immediately. Your brother is the only legitimate son of our second wife... You can't bear it. What grievance..."
Xie Yi Nian smiled and said:
"It seems that although my mother's reputation is that she mostly reflects on herself in her own yard, she is still very well-informed... which is really beyond the reach of my daughter..."
Mrs. Song looked at her daughter who suddenly had the courage to be arrogant with her, and she immediately felt dissatisfied, and then frowned and said:
"What do you mean by that? Is it possible that I still need you to tell me what to do?"
"My daughter doesn't dare. She just thinks these rumors are too strange...
If my daughter remembers it correctly, it was rumored that her grandmother favored her natal niece, so she gave Aunt Gu Shu a large windfall and many rare treasures behind everyone's back. Among them, she even gave a pair of The good night pearl of the South China Sea...and I will never give up to my grandchildren who are not related by blood..."
"My daughter remembers that her grandmother indeed gave a pair of South China Sea night pearls to her aunt, but she kept a very low profile about this matter, and only a handful of people knew about it... She was just afraid that someone would be jealous and cause unnecessary trouble. …”
"And my daughter still remembers that when my grandmother gave the luminous pearl to her aunt, she also happened to have someone bring two pieces of new material to make clothes for her younger brother... On that day, mother and daughter were both present. At that time, you were very dissatisfied with your grandmother's behavior. She was dissatisfied and thought that my grandmother was very partial. It was obvious that my younger brother was a man, but my grandmother did not give such good things to my younger brother... Instead, she gave my aunt a woman..."
"Mother, my daughter wants to ask you something... Are you the one who spreads rumors that your grandmother is mean to her daughter-in-law and her unrelated grandchildren? Or, here, mother, are you colluding with others..." Xie Yi Nian frowned and said.
Mrs. Song looked at Xie Yi Nian's eyes that almost saw through her, and she couldn't help but feel guilty, but she was unwilling to admit that she was indeed involved in this matter. Therefore, Mrs. Song directly sat down from the soft couch. He stood up and said with great dissatisfaction to Xie Yi Nian:
"You are so brave! You actually dare to question your mother! I am your mother! You are so disrespectful! How did you learn the rules from your grandmother! You completely forgot what I taught you! Forgot It shows the style of our scholarly family!"
Xie Yi Nian smiled instead of being angry and asked the girl behind him to find a chair for him. After sitting down, Xie Yi Nian straightened his clothes and then said calmly:
"My mother did not deny it. It seems that my mother was indeed involved..."
"Mother, do you know that this is a heinous crime... spreading rumors and stirring up trouble, disrespecting my mother-in-law... If grandma finds out and tells the government or mother, mother, not only will you no longer be the second wife of the Xie family, but also Those who want to make a plan..."
Mrs. Song looked at her daughter, who was completely different from the submissive and swallowing daughter in the past. She now spoke slowly and calmly. She felt a little scared unconsciously, but Ms. Song still used her courage to say:
"You girl, you really didn't learn well from your grandmother... How dare you talk nonsense about things without evidence!"
"What evidence do you have? Based on what you, a yellow-haired girl, have seen and heard... will the government use it as evidence? Ridiculous!"
"The government office may not take what my daughter said as evidence, but my father will... I..." Before Xie Yi Nian could finish her words, Mrs. Song picked up a soft pillow and threw it at her!
Xie Yi Nian couldn't dodge, so he had to bear the attack. He touched his painful temples alone and continued:
"Mother, I know what kind of temper you are, and so does my father. If I tell my father my guess, my father will definitely believe it... When the time comes, as long as we investigate, the truth of the matter will come to light... Mother , then, no matter what, you will not be able to be the second wife of the Song family..."
"Damn girl! You actually want to tell your father! And you want to check on me!"
"You damn girl! Are you threatening me? Don't forget it! I am your biological mother! As long as something goes wrong with me, you won't be able to recover either!" Ms. Song began to become hysterical. said.
"I know, but my daughter doesn't care. She just wants to know the truth of the matter. Although my grandmother is not my daughter's biological grandmother, she is kind and provides me and my brothers and sisters with the best living conditions and a teacher...Grandma He is a good person and should not be treated like this..."
"You bastard! I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, but in the end I can't compare to your grandmother who you've been with for just a few months!?"
"Okay...okay...that's great! You said you don't care about your own reputation, but what about the reputations of your younger brothers and sisters! They are all your flesh and blood relatives!"
"How will your brother get a wife in the future?"
Xie Yi Nian was even more angry when she heard Song's words. She straightened her back, looked at the good mother in front of her who claimed to be from a scholarly family and a loving mother, and asked in a low voice:
"When my mother did these things, did she ever think that my brothers and sisters and I are your children, and we will all be implicated by you!"
"Still... the only thing my mother cares about... is herself..."
"You're talking nonsense, I have a motherly heart towards you! Everything I do is planned for you! It's you..."
Before Song could even say anything, she was interrupted sharply by Xie Yi Nian:
"Mother! I call you mother! It's because you gave birth to me and my brothers and sisters in ten months of pregnancy! But mother, to be fair...except for my brother...have you ever really planned the future for me and my sisters..."
"As women, it is not easy for us. As our mother, you don't know anything about our affairs and leave everything to the wet nurse. When we reach the age when we should go to school, you are also under the care of our father. After repeated letters, he was willing to send us to school..."
"As a mother... you never taught us how to weave flowers, how to cook, how to make tea, nor how to manage the house and finance... let alone the rules and etiquette!"
"As a result, I will have haircut in a few years, but I still don't know what etiquette I should do when meeting guests..."
"Such a girl...even if there is gold and silver behind her...who would really respect her..."
"That's because I'm busy, I'm in charge of the whole family! How can I have time to take care of these trivial things... Your brother is also young... Naturally, I don't have much to do..." Mrs. Song said with a strong mouth.
"Besides... I am also planning to marry the three of you to your uncle's son... and we will kiss you... Naturally, I won't dislike you..."
"Ha! My two uncles have studied for so many years, but they have never found a place in the officialdom. The family's days depend on the dowry from their aunts and the help from your mother..."
"The sons of my two uncles, one is disabled, the other is fat, uneducated and incompetent, but at a young age, they learned to drink wine... The life of such a family can be seen at a glance! How can this be a marriage? Human! This is to be a beast!"
Faced with Xie Yi Nian's accusation, Song still didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. Instead, she said confidently:
"Ha! What do you know! That's my natal family! Your maternal family! What's wrong with me thinking about my natal family wholeheartedly? It's obvious that you dislike the poor and love the rich! You refuse to help your maternal family!"
"Besides... apart from these, I have not provided enough food and clothing for your sisters! Your second sister is not in good health because I invite a doctor every year..."
"Ha! Mother! Do you still have the face to mention your second sister now!?" Xie Yi Nian suddenly stood up and walked to Song's side as if he had heard some big joke.
"I remember... when I was a child, I was only six years old, and my second sister was still young, but the father had already taken the eldest brother back to his home. In order to win his father's attention, I witnessed you push the second sister into the house with your own hands. into the well, and then ignored it until the eldest brother came to the well under your leadership and rescued the second sister...
You watched helplessly as your second sister almost drowned in the well, and then, in front of your father, you falsely accused your elder brother of pushing the second sister into the well... You burst into tears, and you cried miserably while holding your second sister..."
"I was thinking at the time... Mother, why did you push the second sister into the water... Why did you cry so miserably... Why did you insist on going your own way even though you knew that the second sister might be in danger of her life!"
"You have seen it all..." Mrs. Song was suddenly mentioned about this old incident. Her face turned pale and she asked tremblingly...
"Yes, I saw it... I hate you... I also hate the person I was at that time... Obviously... I clearly had the chance to prevent my second sister from becoming the frail and sickly person she is today... But because you are my mother... I believe Your maternal nature... made the second sister become what she is now..."
"Don't tell your father, okay! I know I was wrong! I will change it! I really will change it! If this matter is really known to the Xie family! There will be no place for me in this family... My son... my reputation... what should I do..." Mrs. Song looked at Xie Yi Nian's tearful but determined look, and for the first time she felt truly panicked!
Mrs. Song quickly climbed up from the soft couch, grabbed Xie Yi Nian's clothes and said pleadingly.
Xie Yi Nian looked at the mother who still showed no regrets, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then she pulled away Song's hand and said:
"Mother... until now, you still only care about your brother and your own reputation, right..."
"You don't regret the harm you did to your sister in the past. You don't apologize for your preference for sons over daughters and using your daughter to benefit your parents' family. You don't regret the neglect and neglect of our three sisters over the years. It feels sad to be beaten and scolded frequently..."
"Now, mother, you still don't team up with others to frame grandma for your own selfish interests, causing the whole family to regret your decision..."
"Mother, you are hopeless. I will go to my grandfather soon to tell you all your evil deeds over the years, such as embezzlement of public funds, private loan sharking, abusing elder brother Changli, and this time, mother, you collaborated with others to frame my grandmother. clear……"
After saying that, Xie Yi Nian turned around and left, but when he came to the door, he turned around and said to Mrs. Song:
"Mother, you don't have to wonder, why do I know that this thing was done by you and others...Mother, although you come from a scholarly family, you are immoral and stupid. Someone must have contributed to this incident. ...Your intelligence plus the intelligence of the maids around you is not enough..."
"If you still feel regretful...just go to your grandfather and tell him about your accomplices..."
After saying that, Xie Yi Nian turned around and left without looking back. Song, who was about to collapse when he stayed there, immediately smashed all the porcelain around him to pieces!
Immediately, he shouted in the house:
"I am your mother! I am the second wife of the Xie family! You are being disobedient and unfilial!!!"
