The next morning, when Xiang Jin came back from helping Aunt Liao search for cowpeas, she heard Xiang Nan sitting on the threshold of the hall with a book and reading.
Xiang Jin felt that she was more self-conscious this time, so she didn't bother her and went straight to the kitchen to fetch hot water that her grandmother had heated for her in advance to wash her hair. However, Xiang Nan ran over with a book in her arms.
"Sister, how do you memorize this composition? I've been reading it all morning and I haven't memorized it yet. It's too difficult."
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at her angrily, saying that she had just praised him in vain.
She took her aside and said while washing her hair, "You don't have any intention, and you don't know the method. How can you recite it? Go ahead and memorize it into paragraphs. Once you have memorized one paragraph, you can memorize another paragraph. Finally,
Memorize the entire article.”
The little girl is not happy.
Xiang Jin glared at her, "I'm going to do a spot check when I get back at noon. If you can't recite the words, you won't be allowed to eat meat. The ten yuan I gave you yesterday will also be confiscated."
"Why?" The little girl was unconvinced.
"I bought the meat at home, and the money from the herbs I picked before was used to subsidize the family. You are a member of the family, and you usually eat more than me. Are you making money now?
Shouldn’t you also contribute to the family?
If you don't obey, then why should I support you in vain?
So, hurry up, go and endorse, your grades are so bad, you don’t know how to work hard, you just mess around every day, you have to use your brain to be smart, if you don’t, you will just be a fool all the time."
The little girl opened her mouth like a stubborn Lao Gao, moaning and groaning. Although she was still a little unhappy, she did not dare to disobey her sister's order. She knew that she meant what she said, so in the end she had to hold the book unwillingly.
Keep reading.
Xiang Jin turned his head to look at her leaving figure and thought to himself: Huh, little girl, I can't cure you yet!
When Xiang Jin came back from outside at noon, she heard someone arguing and swearing again at the end of the bay. When she got closer, she realized that it was her family and Yang Shuying and Liu Yinhua. The families were all very angry and blushing.
The neck is thick.
"What's going on?" She pushed through the crowd and walked in.
"Sister, are you back?" As soon as the little girl Xiang Nan saw her, she ran towards her as if she had seen a savior.
Before Xiang Jin could get closer, she was stopped by Yang Shuying, "Girl Xiang Jin, you came back just in time. Please comment. Your family Xiang Nan broke the legs of my piglet. Should you compensate?"
Xiang Jin looked at Xiang Nan and asked her what was going on with his eyes.
Xiang Nan said, "No, it was their Ai Can and Song Kaijun who deliberately drove those piglets into our fields to eat our vegetables.
I saw it and was so angry that I picked up a stick from the roadside and beat their pigs. So, why should we pay for it? If we want to pay for it, they will pay for it, and they will pay for those pimples in our house!"
"You're talking nonsense, we don't have one!" At this moment, the fat man Ai Can pointed at Xiang Nan's nose and retorted angrily.
"That's right, we don't have any. It's those little piglets who ran to your fields on their own," another slightly older child followed and agreed with Ai Can.
Xiang Jin had met this child before. He was the son of Song Xianyang and Liu Yinhua, the stone masons in Wan Tou. He usually loved to play with Ai Can and the other boys.
"What a joke?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman next to her suddenly stood up with a sarcastic tone, "What is a stick picked up from the roadside? I think it was clearly her purposely picking it up from the house.
A stick for dragging.
How could there be such a thick stick on the roadside? As soon as it was hit, the little piggy was beaten until he could not get up from the ground for a long time. When he finally got up, he was dragging his hind legs and walking back and forth, just like
Does it look like you're drunk?
At such a young age, his heart is so vicious and his attacks are so ruthless! Now he is still falsely accusing our family Kaijun. Tell me, our family has no grudges against you in normal times. Our family Kaijun is an obedient child. How could he possibly do that?
Go and drive other people’s pigs into your fields?”
Xiang Jin's face darkened when she heard she said Xiang Nan was cruel. Yang Juyun and Xiang Jin's grandmother, who were standing aside, also had angry faces. They were about to stand up and refute, but saw Yang Shuying beat them to it.
One step:
"It's not what? Although our family and you had a little conflict and friction before, weren't the misunderstandings resolved later?
Yes, yesterday our little piglet ran into your field and ate some of your vegetables. You said that these beasts are not intelligent children. It is normal to run around a little, but we are not.
Do you also promise to wait two days and buy it on the street for you to make up for it?
Why do you think this Xiang Nan girl holds such a grudge? She even deliberately injured my little piglet like that! I don’t know if my little piglet can survive, but even if I can, you say it’s broken.
Legs, how can you still sell them?"
These people unanimously put all the blame on Xiang Nan, and some people around who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously began to talk about them and point fingers at Xiang Nan.
Among them, there are also people from the old Xiang family, Xiang Zhen and Qian Qian are two of them. Xiang Zhen is standing nearby with his arms folded as if watching a good show, while Qian Qian is standing far away.
I couldn't see the exact expression on his face, but I guess it wasn't very good.
Those people just said that their family was unreasonable. They had promised to compensate them for their pimples, but they still refused to give up. Then Xiang Nan was really cruel and ruthless.
Hearing this, Xiang Jin's lips curled up into a smile. When the two of them stopped and looked at the reactions of the people around them with a proud look on their faces, Xiang Jin said, "Are you done? I'll just say a few words after that?"
Everyone calmed down and watched what she said.
Xiang Jin first made his attitude clear, "I believe what my sister said."
Yang Shuying quit, "Hey, girl Xiang Jin, you can't be so unreasonable? You were reasonable in the little conflicts between our two families before, and Auntie obeyed you, so Auntie has always thought that you are reasonable.
Good boy."
Xiang Jin said "ha", "Auntie, did you give me this high hat? It seems that if I am unreasonable today, it will be a heinous crime, right?"
Yang Shuying was a little creeped out by her stare. She quickly glanced away without looking at her and said, "She is your sister. I understand whether you help your aunt or not."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, aunt. Let's not talk about anything else. I'm just protecting my relatives. What can you do to me if I help you or not?"
"You?" Yang Shuying looked at her with an expression of disbelief.
Xiang Jin then continued, "You protect your grandson, and I protect my sister. I protect my own flesh and blood, and I love my own children. It's human nature. I'm not a saint, and I don't represent the law of justice. How can I do that?"
Can't you be selfish for once?
This is unreasonable and I will protect my sister. If you want to reason with me, then I will reason with you and protect my sister.
You are right. This beast has not developed spiritual wisdom. It is normal to run around like a spoiled brat. I agree with your statement. However, this beast has not developed spiritual wisdom. Don't you, as humans, have also not developed spiritual wisdom?
?You know full well that those things will run around when released and cause harm to other people's fields.
Behind your house is your own sloping land, and in front of your house is your own large vegetable garden. You don’t put it on your own sloping land, but you let it out. You don’t let them harm your own vegetable garden, but instead harm other people’s.
Vegetable garden.
If today it is not our family’s vegetable garden that is causing harm, but someone else’s, then it would be a disaster, right? Your motives are not pure and your intentions are not good!"
