Alas, it was her Sanya who could discuss things no matter what. Li was so happy but didn't know what to say about it, so she simply coaxed her daughter to lie down first.
OK.
Zhou Banxia acted obediently.
Rely on.
Is it okay now?
Mrs. Li looked at the window and the door of the room.
"No one. Normally there is no chance for someone to sneak around and listen to the wall. Besides, you are here and we are the only ones in the house.
Without my instructions, Maihuang knew not to let anyone approach the upper room, and Maidong would also be doing sewing in the side room diagonally opposite while watching to see if anyone came near.
There are also maids guarding the hanging flower gate opposite, and behind there is Mai Qing, the four maids who have to leave even if they have something to do, and Aunt Chang and the three of them.
There is no place where you can talk as quietly as here. Just say what you say, I guarantee you won't even hear the little maid opening the curtain outside the hall, so feel free to speak. ”
Li Shi thought her Sanya said something because she was afraid of being heard.
How could she not know that every time she and her mother were alone in the house, not to mention living here, living in the village, if someone was approaching the west wing, several maids would cleverly warn her.
Is she worried about this?
On the contrary, "Did Mom delay your nap?" I almost forgot that the child's father has repeatedly warned me that nothing is as important as the fact that the child has two bodies now!
"No."
"Seriously not?"
Zhou Banxia laughed and pointed at his eyes, "Look at me, I feel better. I sleep deeply at night. It doesn't matter whether I sleep during the day or not."
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's face and saw that it was rosy and her eyes didn't look sleepy. For a while, she couldn't tell whether her daughter was coaxing her or not.
In order to make my daughter take a good look at her earlier, she had to say it earlier, but what should she say? Oh, what a sin. After thinking about it, Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to touch her neck.
"Sanya, no matter what you say, our family has cut off contact with your biological grandparents. For the sake of your siblings, it is difficult for your grandparents to cut off any ties again.
Some things are nice to say but not nice to hear. If word spreads about your siblings, not only your grandparents, but also your grandparents, outsiders will say that the blood flowing from your bodies is not good.
Your father, he himself doesn’t want your mother to have anything to do with your grandma’s family. He wishes that your mother and your grandma’s family would no longer have contact with each other. There are some things that it’s better not to mention to your father.
In your father's heart, he hates his own sister for being unruly and causing harm to you two sisters. Do you want him to hear about your grandfather?
Regardless of whether it's true or false, he will take it as true and go to your grandma's house overnight to vent his anger. Oh, mother said this, do you understand? ”
Seeing Mrs. Li who had always been outspoken and outspoken suddenly struggling to speak, Zhou Banxia felt complicated and had to start coaxing her mother while lowering her eyes and nodding.
"I know what to say and what not to say. You are my mother, and we are a family. From now on, what outsiders say will go in one ear and out the other.
The only people you can rely on in this life will not be your parents, let alone any brothers and nephews from your mother's family. Only my father, my four siblings, and you can be good. Since ancient times, "a wife is honored by her husband, and a mother is valued by her son." Is it true that only husbands and sons can become officials and earn royal titles for mothers and wives?
Have you ever heard of a girl who was married off and her brothers and nephews became officials? Instead of naming them their own mother-in-law, a girl and aunt who married outside the family were given the title of royal wife?
As the saying goes, 'dog meat cannot stick to a sheep'. Let's not talk about the far side, let's talk about the near side. Take a look at my father-in-law, does his eldest nephew Gu Dalang think well of him?
This is still an eldest nephew with the same surname. You and your natal nephew are further apart. They don’t have the same surname. No matter how famous you are, what does opening an ancestral hall to worship your ancestors have to do with you, a married daughter?
But when it's Dajiang's turn, you have your own son. If you think back to the scholars in Dajiang, who wouldn't envy you for giving birth to a good son? Isn't it old glory?
This is just like my eldest sister and your natal niece. If you quarrel with your aunt, will my eldest sister protect you first regardless of whether you are right or not?
Think about it again, when you and your aunt were having trouble, where were your natal nieces? Did they speak out for you on the spot and to your face? ”
No.
Li shook his head.
"Everyone is running very fast, and those who are slow will only get offended on the side, but the meaning is that I, an old lady, won't give way to their older aunts.
Our family was poor in the early days, but now our family is better off. Your eldest cousin did take my side once, but she can't take advantage anymore. It's the same as before. ”
"That's it." Zhou Banxia didn't bother to say that it was related to character, "Think about it again, who are the things left by grandpa and grandma for?
They have a lot of sons and grandsons, and we don’t want them to stick to us and just eat. Will they put your two sons in front of their grandsons? ”
Won't.
Even if Li denied it against her will, she couldn't even say it.
It's not that she thinks the son she gave birth to is very good. As long as the child's grandparents are a little better when the child is young, her son will not be unwilling to go to his grandmother's house.
Now that she has seen that her children are promising, no matter how much they want to have grandsons, not only her Dajiang has become more sensible, but even her Xiaohe can no longer coax her.
Seeing that Li was silent at this time, Zhou Banxia added to the anger, "There are still a few uncles and a few aunts. Think about it again, are they different?
I'm not very sure before I came back, and I didn't hear my dad mention that he went back to his parents' home without you, and how they entertained you when you were at your parents' home.
But mother, you can think back carefully. In these three different years, when my father found me, when my eldest sister got married, and when I came back, how did they entertain you when you returned to your parents' home? .
If you can give birth to a few of my siblings, my mother, you must be smart, but you just don't like to think badly of people, and you believed the lie that grandpa and others said that your mother's family is your backer.
My siblings are already that old. You can figure it out for yourself. Why did they let you rely on them? After all, you were held back by them and suffered miserably from them.
Before the separation of the family, did my father secretly save every coin and give it to you? But why did my father suddenly not dare to let you take charge of the house?
If you and my father didn't tell me the reason, I would have guessed that it was when our family was separated and we were living alone, and you were defrauded by your parents' family.
My father is afraid of poverty, but he is not mean-spirited. My father will hold on to money because he wants to redeem me as soon as possible.
But it’s not right for my father to take care of the food at home. No matter how much my father saves, he only saves himself, and he doesn’t even care about how many eggs the hen lays.
You're not stupid, mother. My mother-in-law rarely interacts with you. When you go out to socialize, don't you get along well with the ladies in the city, and you still can't manage the house?
It's your parents who are frightening my father, and you are so soft-hearted. If my father doesn't take control of our family, your parents will soon find out how much money I have saved. If you think about it again, what will happen? "(End of Chapter)
