Chapter 377 Grievance
While talking, Xia Zilan also remembered something, "Mom, I remember that after the refugee incident subsided, I wrote a letter back to tell you, but you didn't receive it?"
"No." Mrs. Guo tried her best to recall it, making sure that she had not received that letter, but she remembered that she had received other letters, "At that time, my mother received a letter from you. The letter said that you were a refugee. I was scared and wanted to go back to Jiangning City. I even wrote a letter back to you, asking you to be patient. Your grandmother did not agree with your return and wanted you to stay in the capital for a few more years. In the future, she would also stay in the capital like your eldest sister. Find a good husband.”
"How could this happen?" Xia Zilan said blankly, "I clearly wrote a letter to you behind my second aunt's back, how could my mother not receive it?"
Could it be that something went wrong halfway?
impossible.
Xia Zilan shook his head.
If something went wrong, then why did her mother receive the letter again, but the content of the letter was changed.
Someone must have tampered with this.
Who is that?
Xia Zilan thought hard.
But two or three years later, she couldn't remember those details.
In the end, she gave up and didn't want to think about it anymore. However, Xia Zilan remembered another thing, "At that time, if the second sister's people hadn't arrived in time, I might not have been able to see my mother. The second sister helped me save my life." Well, I forgot that I also scolded the second sister. She must hate me now, right?”
"My poor child..." Guo held her and cried loudly.
She didn't care who saved her daughter. Her daughter was in the Chu family and a servant of the Chu family saved her. That was what she should do. There was no need to owe anything.
A slave saves his master, it is a matter of course.
It's Xu, huh...
After a cup of tea, Mrs. Guo went to find Mrs. Xia. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground and cried desperately.
Mrs. Xia was startled and asked hurriedly, "What happened? What happened to your face? It's like this. Who bullied you?"
"Mom, someone murdered my sister Lan. You have to make the decision for my sister Lan."
Then with tears and snot in her eyes, Mrs. Xu pulled Xia Zilan to block the knife and told her about being rescued by the Chu family.
"Mom, that vicious woman, I don't want to be a sister-in-law with her. I'm afraid that one day if there is a thief in the house, she will pull me to block the knife."
"That's nonsense, where did you hear all this?" Old Mrs. Xia was shocked at first, then she lowered her face and scolded Mr. Guo.
Mrs. Guo cried miserably, "Sister Lan has said that she will not lie. Back then, she even wrote a letter to complain to me, but the letter was changed by someone who wanted to do it. Mom, my sister Lan has been doing this for a few days. I have been wronged a lot in my life here. If you don’t let us mother and daughter make the decision, we mother and daughter will not live anymore.”
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xia were relatives, and she was worried that Mrs. Xia would defend Mrs. Xu, so Mrs. Guo kept crying.
After receiving the news, Mr. Xia San hurried over with red eyes and knelt in front of Mrs. Xia, "Mom, no matter what, Sister Lan is also the legitimate daughter of the Xia family and the niece of the second sister-in-law. How can the second sister-in-law not... put me We took Sister Lan's life as one thing and pulled her to block the knife. That refugee was so ferocious and ruthless that he would kill too many people. If the second sister-in-law did this, it would cost my sister Lan's life. "< br>
"At that time, she was only as old as Brother Yi now. What did she know? She was still at an ignorant age and didn't understand anything. The second sister-in-law threw her at the door of death and passed her by. ”
"Mom, I feel so cold. I have worked so hard to earn money for my family and let everyone in my family live a good life. Isn't that just to allow my eldest brother and my second brother to work as officials in peace and without any worries? But my second sister-in-law is like this To me, Sister Lan, who almost killed me, doesn’t she regard the people in our third room as human beings?”
"At that time, Sister Qing and Sister Ying were both there. Why did the second sister-in-law drag my Sister Lan to block the knife?"
"In business, I can't compare to my two elder brothers who are officials. I don't have as much future as them, and I don't have as much face as them. They both smell like scholars. I only smell like copper. My second sister-in-law looks down on me."
"Mom, if you don't make the decision for our third bedroom today, then you will separate us and live alone with someone like that. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day, she will drag our whole family to marry her. Block the knife.”
Mr. Xia San's crying made Mrs. Xia burst into tears and her temples throbbed with pain.
The third bedroom of the Xia family has been jealous of the second bedroom of the eldest family for more than a day or two. Especially Mr. Xia, he is very jealous of his two brothers and even hates Mrs. Xia a little.
Back then, he didn't like reading or study, and his knowledge was not as good as that of his two brothers. But in Jiangning City, his knowledge was considered average.
Even if you can't pass the Jinshi exam or something like that, you can still pass the exam at the end of a Jinshi exam.
As long as he is admitted to Jinshi, he can become an eighth-grade petty official. If he continues slowly, he will eventually succeed.
But after both brothers passed the double Jinshi exam, his mother stopped letting him take the exam and didn't let him study, forcing him to take on the household chores.
He worked hard to earn money and racked his brains to gain a foothold in the market, but his two brothers used the money he earned to pursue their own careers.
He was the one who endured the hardships and worked like a cow and a horse, and enjoyed the results, but the people who were envied were his two brothers. How could he not be jealous?
Over the years, he had been jealous of his brother, but he didn't dare to show off for fear of being noticed.
Not only that, he also pretended to like doing business, which made the two brothers, who were still feeling guilty, feel that it was natural.
Haha...what does it mean to take it for granted?
They are the young masters of the Xia family, and he is also the young master of the Xia family. Why should they be officials and be superior, but he should be a businessman who is looked down upon by others?
Why?
Why?
This time, he asked Sister Lan to come to the capital with Xu. He also wanted to wait for Sister Lan to grow up and find a good husband's family in the capital.
It would be best to find a distinguished family.
When the time comes, with a son-in-law of high status, he will not be afraid of being looked down upon.
Unexpectedly, his thoughts almost killed Sister Lan.
Fortunately, he also caught the second-fang's mistake. This time, everyone in the second-fang's fault was upset, but he would not let go.
He and the Xu family are at odds with each other.
"Go and find the second daughter-in-law." Mrs. Xia slumped on the chair, rubbing her temples with one hand, and ordered the maid next to her.
Seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable, another maid took over her hand and said, "Old lady, do you have a headache? I want my slave to rub it for you. Usually, you like your slave to rub it for you the most."
"Well, push harder."
The maid's hand was only three points heavier, and Mrs. Xia looked relieved.
"You should also calm down and listen to what your second sister-in-law has to say. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. No matter what, you will not drag a child to block the knife." Old Mrs. Xia said to the couple from the third room.
Humph, old godly woman, I knew you would definitely turn towards that poisonous woman.
Guo curled her lips and wanted to argue a few words, but Mr. Xia glanced at her and stopped her with his eyes.
Only then did Guo hold back her anger and wait patiently.
In just half a cup of tea, Mrs. Xu walked over with a full swing.
Mrs. Xia looked at it, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with your waist? Why do you still sway and twist when you walk? It's not cool."
Then when she saw Xu's face was also injured, she glanced at Guo and said angrily, "Did you fight?"
"Yes, in Yusha Pavilion." Ms. Xu knelt down with tears in her eyes, "It's all my wife's fault. It's her fault. It was also my third sister-in-law who rushed up and hit me because of a misunderstanding. I shouldn't have fought back. It’s all my fault, mother, just punish your daughter-in-law, she will never complain.”
As he spoke, tears fell down, and the crying pear blossoms were dripping with rain, which was so touching. , no man would have the heart to accuse her if he saw her.
Compared with Guo's overbearing accusations, one is tough and the other is weak. The distinction between high and low acting can be seen at a glance.
However, there was only one man present, and he was still trying to climb up on her.
"Hmph, of course you have no complaints. You almost killed my sister Lan, and you still have the nerve to cry. You bitch, you..."
"Shut up."
In the middle of the scolding, Mrs. Guo couldn't help scolding her like a bitch. Mrs. Xia turned livid with anger and glared at her, "Look what you look like. There's still a little bit of a lady from a big family here." ? She looks like a street shrew.”
If you call Mrs. Xu a bitch, won't she be scolded as well?
She and Xu have the same surname, and the two characters "Xu" cannot be written in one stroke.
Mrs. Guo seemed to have thought that she had spoken rashly, and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake. Mr. Xia glared at her fiercely, and said to Mrs. Xia, "Mom, don't be angry. You also know that she just says whatever comes to her mind." If she has a bad temper, just scold her a few times, but don’t be angry, don’t let your anger break your bones.”
Mrs. Xia's face looked better now.
Then, she asked Xu what happened back then.
Mrs. Xu pretended to be innocent and repeated what she had said to Mr. Guo in the shop in front of everyone, and then she cried and cried out that she was wronged with a wronged look on her face.
Old Mrs. Xia always turned to her niece, so she scolded Mr. Guo indiscriminately, "How is it that you do something before the matter is clear? How is that inappropriate?"
"If you don't heal the injury on your face well these days, you won't be allowed to show up to me at Sister Qing's wedding."
Then he stood up and murmured to himself, "It's so shameful that we actually started fighting in the shop. Fortunately, it was Yu Niang's shop and there were no outsiders. Otherwise, these people would have been thrown into the streets of the capital." After scolding, he angrily went into the back room.
The couple, who wanted to speak, wanted to call her to stop them, but they didn't have time.
Not only did they not redress their grievances, but they were also reprimanded. Neither Mr. Guo nor Mr. Xia were willing to accept it.
