[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Bite the bullet and step into her parents' room, Wan Xiang held Yin Dang's hand tightly.

Mrs. Xi Er was still half lying on the bed, when she saw Wan Xiang and Yin Tang coming in together, she struggled to get up, but she had no strength, so she lay limply on her side again, and waved to Wan Xiang urgently: "Wan Xiang, come over."

Xi Wanxiang looked up at Yin Tang, her heart was in a mess, her cousin seemed to be her all support.

Yin Chan looked at Mrs. Xi Er on the bed, her eyes were full of tension and worry, mixed with rejection of herself.Although he doesn't understand why Mrs. Xi Er has these complicated thoughts about him, Yin Chan only knows the love of flesh and blood, no matter how much he likes Wan Xiang, and how much Wan Xiang clings to him, he can't match his feelings for his mother.So, Yin Chan let go, and patted Wanxiang's shoulder lightly: "Go, my sister-in-law won't leave, I'll wait for you here."

Mrs. Xi Er managed to catch Wanxiang's hand, and carefully glanced at Yin Tang who was wandering by the door. She touched Wanxiang's cheek with clear fingerprints in distress, and asked, "Good boy, don't blame your father." , he has this temper, in fact, he also feels uncomfortable in his heart."

Wan Xiang nodded, then turned her head to look at her father who was packing things up and down in the house: "Wan Xiang didn't blame him, but I don't understand why my father promised Wan Xiang to live in Xi's house, but then backed out."

Xi Wanxiang's voice was not loud, but just so that Xi Yuannian could hear it clearly, and the movements of his hands stopped.

The Second Madam Xi glanced at Xi Yuannian, and quickly stroked Wanxiang's back: "Your father doesn't like it here, the house is big, messy things are too troublesome, if it's in the countryside, our family of three will be happy , although there is nothing to eat and wear, but it is always simple and happy.”

Not happy, without my cousin, not happy at all.

"Besides, there was a mother of Meng who moved three times in ancient times. Looking at the smoky place now, your father is also worried that you will look like...that kind of person." Mrs. Xi Er said earnestly, "And this place has made you like this, you Do you still want to stay here?"

"Mother..." Xi Wanxiang bit her lip and said in a muffled voice, "It wasn't this place, nor Aunt Feng, that made me like this. It was my father's distrust, his arbitrariness and contempt..." The last sentence Wan Xiang didn't dare to say it loudly, she was still a child after all, if she was careless and offended her father, then maybe the fingerprints on her face would be symmetrical.

"What did you say?" Xi Yuannian looked at Wan Xiang quietly, he was very tall, so his condescending appearance was particularly scary.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Yin Dang had already walked in and stood beside Wanxiang, wrapping his arms around her slightly trembling shoulders.Yin Chan glanced at Wanxiang, her eyes were wet, her small face like a jade carving clearly showed firmness and resistance, she was as weak as a small animal, but she refused to give in.

The little girl was too tough, she tried her best to fight for what she wanted and what she didn't want.But I don't know that there are some things that if confronted head-on, both sides will suffer.

"Second Uncle, Wanxiang just likes this place. Although she is still young, she doesn't even have the right to like it? Besides, a person can only grow up without any scruples in an environment that he likes. Don't consider Wan Xiang's feelings, aren't you too indifferent? Isn't Wan Xiang too pitiful? " Yin Chan said lightly, looking into the eyes of Master Xi without a trace of fear.

Xi Yuannian obviously didn't pay attention to Yin Chan, who had only been married for half a year. He snorted and said, "What do you know? I'm doing it for her own good. Even if you share the same interests with her and she likes you, so what. She's my girl, and I can teach her what I want to teach her. After all, don't you just look down on the country?"

Yin Chan couldn't help frowning, and was about to speak, but Wan Xiang beside her was hugged by Mrs. Xi Er who sat up suddenly from the bed.

Mrs. Xi Er stared at her slightly sunken eyes, and said to Yin Chan, "You don't have to worry about my family's affairs."

"Mother! What are you talking about, my sister-in-law is one of my own." Wan Xiang struggled to escape from her arms.

Hearing this, Yin Chen couldn't help feeling angry, but this anger must not be shown.She glanced at the two of them coldly, feeling really sorry for Wan Xiang.Just so what?As her father said, Wanxiang is their girl after all, and compared to her parents, she is indeed just an outsider.Could it be that I can replace my parents' care, do my best, and treat Wan Xiang wholeheartedly?Yin Chan looked at Wan Xiang and subconsciously felt that he could do it, but what about the future?When her husband comes back, and when she has a child, how will Wan Xiang deal with herself?At that time, she still needs her parents.

Unfilial, this heavy word, Wanxiang can't afford to memorize it, and Yin Chan can't let her recite it either.

If you can't bear it for a while, it may not be a good thing for anyone.

Taking a deep breath, Yin Chen took the pressure off his chest with great difficulty, and was about to give in. Maybe it would be emotional, and there would be room for things to turn around.

But who would have thought that Mrs. Xi Er, who was already teary-eyed, hoarse, said to Wan Xiang who was trying to break free from her and looked at Yin Yang pitifully: "Wan Xiang, don't be silly! Her natal family is not a good family either! Her father smoked opium, smoking all the family's future! If your grandmother didn't want to marry your cousin a wife as soon as possible, where would it be for this concubine from a declining family?"

Seeing that Wan Xiang was stunned, her round almond eyes were filled with tears, which seemed to be about to drip down soon, Mrs. Xi Er hugged her into her arms distressedly, looked at the pale but still indifferent Yin Tang, Carefully whispering in Wan Xiang's ear: "I heard that opium smoking is contagious, maybe she also has this bad habit of prodigal and hurting her body. If you have been with her for a long time, mother really can't imagine... "

"Mom, don't talk nonsense, how can smoking opium contagious..."

Before Wanxiang could finish speaking, Yin Dang laughed softly, she walked closer, and caressed Wan Xiang's hair calmly, the bun was braided by Yin Dang for her in the morning, but unexpectedly, the parting came so suddenly.

Yin Yang sighed, then turned around and walked out without hesitation.

Wan Xiang was held tightly in Mrs. Xi's arms and couldn't break free, so she had to turn her head reluctantly, and tears ran all over her little face for a while.

Her vision was a little blurry, she saw the slender back of the cousin sister-in-law was straight, and the string of shell beads falling from the earlobe was crystal clear, swaying and swaying, gradually going away with her indifferent steps, and finally disappeared at the door.

"Sister-in-law..." Wanxiang finally couldn't hold back and cried out.

She hated it, hated why there was such a pair of parents, and even more hated why she was a child who didn't have the slightest right to speak.

At this moment, Xi Wanxiang wanted to grow up, grow up quickly.Can have enough strength to break free from the shackles of parents and the cage of the world.

It's just that she is afraid that when she grows up, the sister-in-law will not be the sister-in-law she is now. If she has children and a close husband, she will never have Wan Xiang again.Wan Xiang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she thought of her cousin's gentle yet repulsive appearance when she treated outsiders. This kind of discomfort was suppressed and made her almost breathless.

In the end, Xi Wanxiang still left and went back with Mrs. Xi Er.The second master Xi listened to Wan Xiang's three-point persuasion, and stayed at Xi's house, helping to take care of the old lady Xi who had a broken leg and was still suffering from a stroke, doing what he called "filial piety".

Because Second Master Xi took a step back, Mrs. Xi didn't make things difficult for him anymore, she just had a gloomy face all day long, making people afraid to say a word, for fear of offending her.

Just like half a month ago, Xi Wanxiang still took the carriage at the post station in Zhenkou, but this time there were not many people to send off. The old lady Xi was bedridden and unable to move, and Aunt Feng said she was not feeling well. Being dragged by her, she said she wanted to take care of her mother, so she didn't come.Aunt Xia Hua was the only one who came to see her off.

Xi Xiahua knew that it was because of her gold ring that a series of incidents happened after that, so she also felt very sorry for Little Wanxiang.She was still wearing an unsuitable large cotton-padded jacket, combed a clean bun, and touched Wan Xiang's head apologetically: "Little Wan Xiang, are you blaming your aunt?"

At this time, Xi Wanxiang's mood was as calm as a lake, and her only thought was whether that figure who would miss her day and night would appear at the end of the avenue—probably not, after all, she had suffered such slander and anger.Wan Xiang shook her head, smiled at Xi Xiahua and said, "Aunt Xia Hua, it's windy today, you should go back earlier."

Xi Xiahua looked at Wan Xiang's little face that was flushed by the wind, and sighed: "Okay, that won't delay your journey."

Wan Xiang stood on her tiptoes and waited for a while. Although there were people coming and going on the road, there was nothing she wanted to see.Mrs. Xi Er urged in the car again. If she didn't get in the car again, she might not be able to make it to Jinmen Town before dark. She didn't want to take the risk of being kidnapped by bandits when walking at night.

In desperation, they got on the carriage, the driver flicked the whip, and the wooden wheels began to roll slowly.

Wan Xiang opened the curtains, there were so many people on the road, there were so many people in the world, but this grand avenue seemed to be empty.Today's weather is so good, the sun is shining, the clouds are thin and the sky is blue, but it still seems to make people feel unbearable chest tightness.

"Wait—" A voice came from behind the carriage.

Xi Wanxiang hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, told the coachman to quickly put on the reins, and jumped out of the carriage at once.Turning around, he saw that it was Zhong Zhang of the bank.

At this time, the master of the clock was out of breath, and his mustache was raised on one side and lowered on the other, as if he was running all the way here: "Oh, my mother, I finally caught up..."

"Master Zhong, why are you here?" Wan Xiang asked puzzled, seeing that he was still holding a small cloth bag in his arms, "What is this?"

Mr. Zhong wiped off the frost on his beard, carefully put the gray cloth bag into Wanxiang's hands, and then winked at her mysteriously, "Hey, Second Miss, guess what?" look."

This... I have delivered it to my hand, so what else can I guess?

Wan Xiang squinted at him, and then simply lifted off the sackcloth that was covering her.

In the middle of the cloth bag lay a well-behaved little milk cat, dressed in yellow and white, clean and cute.The little milk cat raised its head, its dark eyes met Wan Xiang's, it barked "Mi Mi Mi Mi" a few times, and then shrank back into Wan Xiang's arms.

"I don't know what the young lady thinks. Last month, everyone in the bank helped find the kitten. It must be about a month old. Where can I find it in winter? I haven't found it for a long time. , I thought it would stop, but I’m still looking for it this month! Fortunately, the house next door just gave birth to a litter of kittens, so I just brought one of them over..." Mr. Zhong wiped his sweat and complained, "It's so bad. I ran all the way here, my hands were still heavy, but I was exhausted."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhong." Xi Wanxiang smiled sweetly, the small pear dimples on her lips made people happy to see, and patted his arm like a little adult, "From now on, I will help my sister-in-law, Don't think that if I'm not here, no one will notice your little tricks."

"How dare, how dare!" Zhang Zhang's heart shuddered, this little girl looked weak and cute, why is she so scary, let's go, let's go!

Xi Wanxiang smiled and waved at him: "There will be a time later." As if holding a peerless treasure, she slowly got into the car step by step.

Wan Xiang stretched out her finger and tapped the little kitten's nose, and it sneezed dimly and let out soft meows a few times.Wan Xiang's face was full of smiles, this kitten is so cute and fun.

But what made her even more happy was that the sister-in-law still remembered her childish words.It turned out that she didn't come last time, but she was looking for the kitten she met in the academy for herself.

"Snow Flower, let's call you Snow Flower from now on." Wan Xiang caressed the kitten's soft fur, and said to it thoughtfully, wondering what happened to the "Snow Flower" that my sister-in-law once raised, "Anyway, who None can bully you."

Xue Hua seemed to understand Wan Xiang's words, and happily rubbed against her palm.
