C174 You'sre the most innocent

Inside the house, the Second Aunt of Mei Family was making a racket so loud that Mian Niang couldn't even hear him.

She looked at the apricot flowers.

Xing Hua explained, "I heard about what happened to you in my mother's house from Mistress Yun, and then told Grandma that Granny and Eunuch felt bad about it, so they discussed it and made peace with each other. But I don't blame you for all this."

Mian Niang sighed lightly. She was not at all at fault for saying all these.

Wasn't Gu Xin provoked by her?

"Sister-in-law, let me ask you a question. Does Second Uncle and Second Aunt know about the silly thing?"

Xing Hua shook her head: "I haven't told them yet, but the plan that I discussed with the idiot was to ask you first before going to parturient mother-in-law to talk about annulling the engagement."

"Since that's the case, sister-in-law, let's end this here. Don't bring it up again, okay?"

"Why?" Xing Hua was a little anxious: "Mian Niang, do you really not have any feelings for this idiot?"

"No!"

Mian Niang shook her head. Not only Stupid Mei, but even the Elementary Scholar and Gu Xin had not moved her at all.

Her eyes were resolute and calm. When she talked about an idiot, there wasn't the slightest bit of change in her expression. Instead, it seemed as if she had been offended, causing Xing Hua to believe that what she said was true.

Seeing that there was no longer room for manoeuvre, Xing Hua could not help but feel that it was a pity, and said: "Actually, I had already guessed the result before we came, but I still hope that it will work out. Forget about other matters, Mian Niang, we just hope that you can live a little easier."

"It's not an easy thing to do either. I can't possibly share the responsibility that I have to do with others. Actually, I don't think it's hard either. Sister-in-law, compared to me, Brother is the one who is truly bitter. "

The few elders in the room gradually calmed down, their voices becoming softer.

The gate to the courtyard opened once again. Song Zhien who had just left school made an appointment to go to school together with his friend tomorrow and entered the courtyard. He first went to Mian Niang's room, and called him "Sis A" before even entering the house.

Mian Niang's serious expression instantly lightened up and changed into a smile. She then opened the door and pulled in her younger brother.

"Call me sister-in-law."

She pointed at the apricot flowers that she had just put on and said to her brother.

It was Song Zhien's first time seeing this sister-in-law. Even though he didn't know her, he obediently called her sister-in-law from Sis A.

"Oh, you're really good. Are you going to quit school?" "Is it cold?"

"Not cold." Half a kid has a really solid skin.

"You're still saying that it's not cold? How can it not be cold when there's such a thick layer of ice hanging on the eaves of the houses outside?"

The apricot flower face is kind and friendly.

Song Zhien shook his head and laughed: "It's really not cold. We were running back and were sweating all over.

Taking off the hat was not like sweating.

Mian Niang said in a slightly complacent manner, "Boy, you're really a tough one. You're not cute in the slightest."

"You should be more solid, don't learn from some people. You haven't done much, yet every day you're being served like a young master. You have to take a bus to the academy, and you even have several layers of mattresses under your body." "As for me, don't think about anything else. Just focus all of your attention on studying. If I were to learn well, it would be better than anything else."

Song Zhien nodded as he vaguely understood what he was talking about.. )))))

Mian Niang knew who the apricot flower was referring to, but she merely smiled and was unwilling to say more.

Song Zhien just came over to say hi to his sister, he still had to go back to the main house to inform his mother, but he did not stop her and let her out. Seeing that the main house's door was opened, Second Aunt of Mei Family walked in front and A Yunniang half carried Madame Song to walk behind, the three of them walked as they talked.

Seeing Song Zhien, Second Aunt of Mei Family stretched out her hand. It was more or less the same question that Xing Hua asked, and his concern for her wasn't fake.

Mian Niang and Xing Hua walked out. Seeing the Second Aunt of Mei Family like this, they knew that she was going to leave, and thinking that the Second Aunt of Mei Family had specially come over to take care of her, they did not do anything wrong in rejecting her.

"Mian Niang, sister-in-law, let's not only come here today, there is also another matter that we need to discuss with you two."

Mian Niang looked at Madame Song, but Madame Song did not look at her, and only said: "His second aunt, what is it? Tell me."

"It's like this. Our family also wants to make two plates of tofu. Since we've already brought the beans, this winter, we can't just eat them without tofu. When the tofu is ready in two days, we'll come and get them."

If the rest of the Plum Blossom Village's people came and did it, it would be unreasonable not to do it for them.

Mian Niang only looked at her mother, how could Madame Song not understand this logic? She also knew that she was taking care of her own business, so she could only nod her head and say: "What's wrong with that, don't say that I don't have the money. Our family can't afford the beans, it's still fine to provide some manpower."

Seeing that his mother had opened her mouth to speak, Mian Niang then said: "That's right, Second Aunt, put the beans down. I can't do it today, I've been lining up for the past two days, I'll do it for you the day after tomorrow.

"That won't do. What are you all looking for if you don't even get the money to pay for your work? Just say that what you want is not money, and the firewood you picked is not worth the effort." If you need to take money, you have to take money. Otherwise, I won't be doing this anymore. "

Second Aunt of Mei Family acted as if she was going to leave as she spoke, the mother and daughter of the Song Family could not refuse her, and could only smile as she agreed.

Second Aunt of Mei Family told Apricot Flower to go to the carriage and get the beans. She took out the money from her own pocket and handed it over to Madame Song.

"Let's pay the bill first. Otherwise, I won't be letting go of this bean."

She laughed openly and generously, and even Madame Song and A Yunniang revealed smiles.

Mian Niang received the bean from Xing Hua's hand. The Xing Hua looked at Mian Niang but did not say anything, but it was a pity that Mian Niang did not notice, as she turned around and placed the bean in front of the window.

After sending off the daughter-in-law, A Yunniang returned home to make dinner.

Closing the door, Mian Niang turned her head and accidentally met her mother's cold gaze.

"One or two for you to make peace, you must be very proud of yourself!"

"I didn't …" Mian Niang tried to explain.

"Is there any use in telling me that? If I were you, I would also be proud, your fault, I will hide it from everyone, so now everyone thinks it's because I'm the mother's sarcasm, and can't tolerate my daughter who's been taken away, Song Yi, you're so lucky! "

filigree, A Yunniang, now they still had to come to Second Aunt of Mei Family, and they tried to persuade her one by one, saying that she was wrong, that she should not be like that, that she should not be like that, and the more they said that, the angrier Madame Li became.

She looked at her daughter, who was frowning. She gave a cold laugh before turning around and leaving while holding her youngest son's hand.

Looking at Mother's back, Mian Niang's heart felt worse than if she had been slapped twice.

Song Zhien turned his head to look at Sis A, then raised his head to look at Mother.

He could not understand why Mother and Sis A would become like this.

When she heard Second Aunt of Mei Family's words, she felt at ease in her heart. How could she not hope that Mother didn't resent her, that she could walk into that house and lie on Mother's knees and do needlework together with her like she did in the past?

But just now, Mother's gaze once again reminded her that she was the culprit that caused this family to become like this.

She had no right to be forgiven, no matter how much resentment her mother harbored in her heart, it was still something she should bear.

The door to the main house was slammed shut.

Mian Niang wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

The sun was about to set and the sky was about to turn dark. She still had a lot of work to do and had no time or right to lament over her loss.

Feed the chickens, feed the donkeys, cook, cook the kang, soak the beans, and do this every day.

Dinner was ready, Song Zhien came out and brought the food back. Seeing Sis A, even a child would know how to feel sorry for their little brother, but they didn't know how to comfort their sister, who was looked down upon by their mother.

Mian Niang touched the river crab on his hair, telling him to quickly return so that her mother would not be angry.

The boy raised his head and looked at his sister, who was taller than him, and said: "Sis A, just you wait, when I grow up in the future, I'll definitely not let you suffer even the slightest bit!"

He vowed solemnly, his eyes were incomparably firm and serious.

Mian Niang's mouth revealed a smile, and her heart was filled with millions of grievances, as if they had been instantly washed away by this sentence. There was nothing left to feel wronged about, and only after a long while did she finally say: "Mn, I'll wait, Sis A will wait for you to grow up."

Song Zhien was afraid that she would not believe what he had said, so he stretched out his finger and said: "Let's pull the hook."

"Ha, alright, pinky swear."

The brother and sister's small fingers hooked together, this agreement was always remembered in Song Zhien's heart, and was remembered for the rest of his life.

Song Zhien held onto the food in his hands, it was inconvenient to open the door, so he opened the door and watched him walk to the main house. The door was opened from the inside, waiting for his brother to go in, and the door closed once again.

One yard, two doors, and two lights seemed to separate the family from the other.

A wry smile hung on Mian Niang's face, as if she would never be able to obtain Mother's forgiveness in this life of hers.

Closing the door, Mian Niang sat on the brick bed and couldn't help but recall the words that Xing Hua said today.

This time, there was no wry smile, only deep disgust in her heart. Could it be that her nature was like water, and that she was the one looking for trouble?

Because of these messes, for the entire night, Mian Niang tossed and turned until late at night, unable to fall asleep.

He could only tell himself over and over in his heart that he had to get up early to make tofu tomorrow, even if he had to close his eyes and take a nap.

But just as he closed his eyes, Mian Niang heard a strange sound coming from the courtyard.

It sounded like footsteps and voices.

She had thought that her brother had woken up at night, but then she realized that she hadn't heard the door open. Besides, it was impossible for Ai Hui to ask his mother to follow him.

Could it be that a thief had entered this house?

Putting everything else aside, the donkey and the donkey cart were the entire fortune of the family.

She got up, put on her shoes and went down to the floor. She touched the crab to the dagger under the pillow and walked quietly to the door.

The window was covered with frost and nothing could be seen.

She unlocked the door and was about to open it when it was pulled open from the outside. A steel knife slashed at her head through the cold night air.
