Struggle of Baochai

Baochai knelt on the straw to salute the aunts and aunts. Seeing that the aunts were crying loudly, she didn't shed a few tears, and felt even more resentful. The look told her to hurry up and help them, so that they could go down the stairs and stop crying, Baochai pretended not to see it.

She lowered her head, sat on the straw and wept mournfully, acting like a filial daughter. When she cried, others always acted like that. After a while, those pampered wives fell silent.

Seeing this, Baochai threw herself on the coffin and burst into tears, but the grandmothers and wives in those rooms looked embarrassed and couldn't say anything to help take care of the eldest room.

Seeing that Baochai was crying in pain, they had to cheer up and comfort her.

Seeing the situation, Baochai stopped crying and saluted: "Auntie, Auntie, you don't need to persuade me if you have too much to say. I know it well in my heart. I just think of how sad my father is. I will never get over it. Let me let you go." The more you cry, the happier you will be."

"You child." The auntie grabbed Baochai and helped her up: "If your father sees you like this, he will definitely feel distressed. Let him live in peace."

"Auntie is right." Baochai wiped away tears and said, "Brother came back and said that when Dad left, he told us to take good care of him, let him guard the house, take good care of my mother and me, and let us work harder. , learn more things, learn to manage housework, don't bother others, aunt and aunt also know that father is the most upright when he is around, and he is very unwilling to ask others to trouble others, brother's temper is just like father's , he would rather suffer and be more tired than burden his uncles and uncles."

"What do you call that?" Xue Rong's wife, who was the fifth wife of the third room and second wife, had a bit of displeasure on her face: "We are all one family, so if there is any trouble, don't bother, I don't like to hear your words."

"Daddy." Baochai conveyed the meaning of the Dafang and the others, so naturally he didn't want to quarrel with the elders, so he didn't refute Mrs. Fifth's words, and knelt in front of Xue Hongling and wept bitterly, no one could pull him up.

The wives in those rooms were really helpless, so they could only drop a few words of advice at will.

As soon as they left, Feng Shi brought Yinglian to offer incense, and also cried a few times. Baochai stopped crying and came to help her, said a few words with Feng Shi, and sent them out of the house.

All of a sudden, another male from each house came, and Baochai hurried into the inner room. Xue Pan just came over after finishing his work, and knelt down to one side to salute. After a while, Baochai heard the sound of quarreling in the mourning hall.

She hurriedly opened the curtain to look over, but saw Xue Pan's face was swollen purple, the veins on his forehead were bulging, he was holding a kitchen knife in one hand, and shouted angrily: "I don't care who you are, don't even try to make trouble in front of my father's spirit today, Uncles, if you come to express your condolences, I will be grateful to Xue Pan, but if you want to make trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"elder brother?"

Baochai looked terrified and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing that the eighth master Xue Kuan was about to grab the kitchen knife in Xue Pan's hand, Xue Pan waved it a few times, and said loudly: "I left my talk here today. My house is small and there are not many things. How many people help with the housework, and if the uncles are really too busy, they will urge people to finish my father's tombstone early, so that my father can be buried in the grave early. Let’s talk about things after the family settles down.”

"Okay, okay, Pan'er, quickly put down the knife." Xue Kuan stepped back in fright, fearing that Xue Pan's temper would really strike him.

Those masters also retreated, and they discussed it, thinking that it is really not a good time, and they will wait until Xue Hong's funeral is over before trying to intervene in the affairs of the big house.

They also thought about Xue Pan's young age, and he is usually the messiest and most ignorant person. Now that Xue Hong is gone, with Xue Pan alone, he may not even be able to keep track of the family's accounts. Well, as long as they get involved in Dafang's shops, it won't take long, those shops and the money in them are not all theirs, only Xue Pan, I'm afraid they will sell them and count the money for them.

But Xue Yu of the second room is even more vicious. He has already started to make up his mind to buy off the servants of the big room in the future, and ask them to teach Xue Pan to be greedy, lustful, drink and gamble. After all, he can't let Xue Pan go the right way. Threat, ask for a few more shops.

Xue Pan didn't know the vicious intentions of those couples. The only thing he wanted to do now was to not make people noisy in the days before the funeral, not to let his father's spirit in heaven not live in peace, and to protect his mother and sister. .

Baochai watched quietly in the inner room, her eye circles were already red, and she wanted to cry, but her eyes were too dry to shed a single tear.

She suddenly thought of the same situation in her previous life, but at that time her brother was guarding the door with a kitchen knife, and whoever wanted to come in would look for him desperately, guarding for a long time without eating or drinking, until he fainted from exhaustion on the ground.

Although in the previous life, Xue Pan was ignorant, she was scolded by many people as a fool, and her reputation was hurt. In the end, she was killed because of doing something wrong, and she was so tired that she had to marry Jia Baoyu. She still loves her, they are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and Baochai never blamed Xue Pan.

Today I saw the same scene as in the previous life again, Baochai couldn't tell whether it was real or not for a while, as if she was in the cold Jia's house again, and returned to that miserable situation, she couldn't hold back for a moment, screamed, from He ran out of the inner room and bumped into Xue Hong's coffin: "Father, take your daughter away, brother Yesheng is bullied to protect her daughter."

Seeing this situation, those few rooms retreated even more. Several people looked at each other and forced a laugh: "Pan'er, quickly put away the knife, what do you look like?"

After saying these words, they didn't even look at Baochai, and disappeared without a trace.

Xue Pan's knife had already fallen to the ground, and he turned around and hugged Baochai to inspect her carefully. He was relieved when he saw that there was no trace of bruise on her forehead and her breathing was steady.

"Sister." Xue Pan called out.

Baochai slowly opened his eyes: "Brother, are they leaving?"

"Let's go." Xue Panhu turned his face: "Baochai, from now on, my brother will be there for everything in the family, and my brother will protect you. Don't do this again. You scared my brother to death just now."

Baochai got up slowly, adjusted her clothes: "Brother, I want to help you."

"You!" Xue Pan had no choice but to nod Baochai's head: "Be careful in the future, don't hurt yourself."

"Okay." Baochai agreed happily, and held Xue Pan again: "Brother, I'm here to watch over you, so hurry up and find your adoptive father and ask him to help write a note, and I will organize the note again." Send those lists to the Zhu family, and remember to hand them over to Xiuzhen."

Xue Pan also knew something, knowing that the sooner the donation, the better, he readily agreed, walked out, and hurriedly went to find Zhen Shiyin.
