"I thought my mother would never come to my house again!" Xie Shuhua was sitting under the lamp feeling dejected. When she heard the footsteps entering the house, her tears rolled down her face.
She has been having trouble eating and sleeping these days because she has something on her mind, and her already thin face has become even thinner. Now she is sitting under the light, and her tears are falling one after another. Who is watching, Mrs. Ren?
I'm afraid I'll feel distressed too.
In the past, some people jokingly said that when the third girl was sad, it was like Xizi crying, which has its own beauty.
Xie Shuhua also knew this, but after sitting for a while, she didn't see Qi's footsteps coming back. She couldn't help but be surprised, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Qi's complicated expression.
She couldn't help but feel a "thump" in her heart. Dangjie immediately changed her strategy, covered up all the pain on her face, and managed to put on a sensible look. Then she walked over and timidly pulled up Qi's sleeves.
, "Mom! I was quick to talk for a moment, please don't be angry."
When Mrs. Qi saw that the tears on her cheeks were still wet and she was trying her best to hide them, she felt heartbroken and her eyes turned red for a moment.
Xie Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently helped Mrs. Qi to sit down on the chair, "Actually, my daughter knows clearly that what happened this morning was because she did something wrong. I'm afraid she will get you into trouble again. My daughter just
…”
When she said this, her voice suddenly became hoarse, revealing a hint of crying, and then she continued as calmly as possible, "I just can't bear the old lady's different treatment! I also know that in the eyes of the old lady now,
Here, I am no longer her granddaughter. It is normal for her to look down on me and even hate me.
It turns out that I stayed in Xie's family and wanted to stay with you for a few more years. I should grit my teeth and endure this kind of grievance! But my daughter really... really can't bear it..."
At this point, she finally couldn't help but sobbed, "Mom, my daughter is sorry for you, and always makes you suffer for me."
Mrs. Qi came here with guilt in her heart. Seeing her daughter like this, she had already been heartbroken. However, after hearing her words, she immediately hugged Xie Shuhua and burst into tears.
Mother Liang, who had come with me but didn't come in outside, heard the cry. Her eyelids jumped immediately, but she could only sigh silently in her heart. There was nothing she could do, the wife was just like the third girl.
Probably because there were no outsiders here, the mother and daughter cried particularly hard. Seeing her daughter's face getting paler, Mrs. Qi stopped crying and quickly poured her some warm tea, "You haven't been able to eat well these past two days.
, I can’t stand being so sad.”
The two of them comforted each other for a while, and finally resolved the sad atmosphere at the moment.
The room fell silent again for a while.
Xie Shuhua understands the Qi family better than anyone else.
If she had been wronged at this time in the past, it was unlikely that she would have just hugged her and cried. Her character was not a good one, and she would always have to do something.
And this time...
While she was drinking tea, she carefully looked at Mrs. Qi's expression. She was holding a tea bowl in her hand, but her expression was a little dull.
The bad premonition that had been lingering in her heart since Qi came in immediately became stronger. She calmed down and said, "Mom, you and your father went to Shou'antang today. What did the old lady say to you later?"
Isn't she very angry? Has she ever made things difficult for you in front of your father?"
As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, "It's all my fault. My father is always angry with you because my fourth sister doesn't like me. I'm afraid my father's face will look ugly this time!"
Mrs. Qi's tears almost came out again, but seeing her daughter's finally calm expression, she finally suppressed the sadness.
But he didn't answer Xie Shuhua's words immediately. Instead, his eyes were somewhat evasive, and he actually didn't dare to look directly into Xie Shuhua's eyes.
Xie Shuhua's fingers holding the teacup gradually tightened, and her breathing became rapid involuntarily.
Things turned out to be worse than she imagined, so on the day of the banquet at the Princess Mansion, why did she go out of the city to deliver the Ksitigarbha?
Just when she was uneasy, Mrs. Qi finally summoned up the courage. This kind of thing can't be delayed, and as Liang's mother said, the longer the delay, the worse the impression will be on the old lady's side, and it will be bad for their mother and daughter.
The impact will be more severe.
She took a deep breath, and then finally spoke, "Shu'er, your grandmother is very angry about what happened today."
"Mother..." Seeing that her tone was a little too calm, Xie Shuhua couldn't help but start to feel frightened, "Old Madam...what did you say?"
Under the bright lights, even if they are so close, even if the mother and daughter have always been close friends, it seems that the distance between the two people cannot be truly perceived at this moment, becoming distant and unfamiliar.
Xie Shuhua only felt that Qi's voice was coming from the other end, word by word, sentence after sentence, floating over, spreading out in the room that suddenly seemed too empty, and then stuffed into the gaps of every brick.
, swept across the surface of every tile, hid in every fold of the curtain, and then wrapped her whole body inside, squeezing and noisy, making her soul hollow.
She found that at this moment, she had suddenly lost the ability to understand. Qi had said so many words, and she seemed to have heard them all, and it seemed as if those words had slipped away before she could catch them in her ears.
Xie Shuhua's face showed confusion, confusion, and a bit of confusion.
Throughout the day, Ms. Qi was lying in bed thinking about how to tell her daughter exactly what the old lady had asked for. She was really afraid of facing her daughter's reaction.
So when she spoke the first sentence, she almost seemed to have completed the task and just repeated the old lady's original words.
When she was halfway through speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with Xie Shuhua's expression. She immediately stopped talking and quickly walked over and grabbed her arms, "Shu'er?!"
Xie Shuhua seemed to wake up suddenly, her eyes turned from blurry to clear, and then fell on Qi's face, "Mom, what did you just say?"
Ms. Qi was stunned. She just looked into her daughter's eyes intently, not knowing how to defend what she had just said.
But the tears that quickly gathered in Xie Shuhua's eyes revealed the truth at the moment. It wasn't that she didn't hear it, she just couldn't believe it.
Mrs. Qi also shed tears again, "Shu'er, there's nothing I can do about it! This is your grandmother's decision. You also know that in this family, as long as your grandmother speaks, she has the final say! Shu'er,
Mom really has no choice!"
Xie Shuhua's eyes slowly raised, looking at the roof above, then at the darkness outside the window, and then fell on every object in her house, and finally turned back, landing on Qi's
on the face.
"Did grandma ask me to tell you? Or... did you think of it yourself?"
Mrs. Qi didn't understand what she meant for a moment, "Shu'er, what did you say?"
But at this moment, Xie Shuhua suddenly pushed her away and stood up suddenly.
Mrs. Qi was unprepared for a moment and fell to the ground. When she looked up again, she saw Xie Shuhua looking at her condescendingly, with a feverish scarlet look in her eyes, pointing at her and saying: "That's obviously what you meant, isn't it?! Even
You also dislike me, don’t you?”
