There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17, Beating]

Songheyuan.

Under the service of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Yan has finished washing, and now she is leaning on the bed leisurely, looking at the children and grandchildren in the house with joy.

It stands to reason that after driving for such a long time, even a mature man would be very tired now, but the old lady’s face is not much tired, and she seems to be in good spirits.

In the house, Yan Zhigao was held by the old lady and sat on the nearby bench.

The others, on the other hand, sat on both sides.

Everyone in the room was chatting and laughing at Yan Yan, and they were all talking about family affairs around the old lady.

Yan Zhigao looked at his mother’s ruddy face and bright eyes, and was very surprised.

When the old lady was young, in order to bring up the four brothers and sisters, she was overworked, and her body was hollowed out. When he returned to his hometown a few years ago, the old lady’s body was panting three times, but looking at it now, I feel that her body is better than his. .

Not only he was surprised, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun were also surprised.

When they married into the Yan family, the old lady’s health was already a little bad. Although the old lady would mention that her health was much better when they wrote letters over the years, they didn’t really believe it. It is widening their hearts.

But looking at it now, the body is really good.

Mrs. Sun complimented with a smile: “Mother, my daughter-in-law found that you are always living younger and younger.”

Mrs. Yan laughed straight, and then looked at Mrs. Li kindly: “My tattered body can be healed thanks to You gave birth to a good daughter for our Yan family. If Daohua hadn’t asked for the precious medicine for me, and you’ve been laughing and joking around me all these years, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.” Daohua went to the

temple to ask for medicine, the old lady As mentioned in the letter home, the Yan family knew about it.

Regarding this, everyone thought it was the old lady who was praising Daohua for her filial piety, and they didn’t take it seriously.

Now hearing the old lady mention it again, I think a little more in my heart.

Mrs. Yan praised Daohua in front of everyone in the Yan family, Madam Li was very happy in her heart, but she still said modestly on the face: “Mother, you are too praised, Daohua is only a small person, what does she know? It is because of your good fortune that your health has recovered so quickly.”

Yan Zhigao also said at the right time: “Yes, what can she do with a little baby, I think it is the third brother and the third younger sister who take good care of the mother. Hearing Yan Zhigao’s mention of their family, Mrs.

Wu immediately said: “Brother, we dare not take credit for it. In my hometown, as long as there are rice flowers, mother will not be unhappy. The third uncle in the family said I feel better, and my illness will naturally heal.”

Yan Zhigao looked a little surprised, and looked at Mrs. Yan: “When I took office, I didn’t promise my third uncle to bring his son out. Didn’t he alienate us? “The

old lady Yan said with a smile: “Your daughter wants to learn to read and write. She wandered around the village and finally fell in love with the third uncle with white hair. She said that he has great wisdom. If he enlightens her, she will benefit for life. ”

Gaoer, you don’t know that the rice flower was only so tall at that time.” The old lady Yan compared with her hands, “A 5 or 6-year-old doll, who commented on your third uncle in an old-fashioned way, looks like I will give my wife I’m so happy .”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Shi and Yan Wentao, who knew about this, also laughed.

Seeing the old lady laughing, the others in the room leaned back a little, and their hearts became more and more curious about Daohua, who had not met formally.

Mrs. Yan smiled for a while, then looked at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li, and said dotingly, “That girl is a spirit, you will know in the future.”

Below, Yan Wenxiu and other grandchildren saw that Mrs. Yan loved rice so much. Hua, while being a little more curious about her, also felt a little sour in her heart.

They were trying to please and act good just now, but except for the eldest grandson Yan Wenxiu who was praised by the old lady, the others only said a few words.

Yan Yishuang watched her father smile more and more under the old lady Yan’s explanation, and seemed to be more and more fond of the elder sister, so she felt extremely jealous.

She is the father’s favorite daughter!

Yan Yile at the side saw that Yan Yishuang’s face was getting more and more wrinkled, her eyes rolled, and she said in a low voice: “Third sister, uncle has a big sister, will he still like you in the future?”

Yan Yishuang raised her eyebrows: “Of course, my father likes me the most.” The

voice was a little loud, which attracted other people to look over.

Seeing that the smile on Old Madam Yan’s face faded, Yan Zhigao glared at Yan Yishuang, and said displeasedly: “Yishuang, how can you make loud noises in front of your elders?”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yan Yishuang was a little timid , but thinking that the beggar-like eldest sister attracted the attention of the whole family as soon as she arrived, she blurted out without thinking: “Grandma and the third brother have washed for a long time, why hasn’t the eldest sister come? Let grandma and father, mother Waiting for her, isn’t this too rude?”

“Bang!”

As soon as the voice fell, Mrs. Yan slapped the table on the collapsed table, and her face, which was smiling just now, was full of anger.

“Mom!”

Everyone didn’t expect the old lady to be so angry, and stood up in fright.

Yan Zhigao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady: “Mother, don’t be angry, Yishuang is still young, and the child has nothing to say, so don’t argue with her.”

Aunt Lin also quickly walked out from below and knelt down On the ground: “Old lady, Yishuang just wants to see the eldest girl so much, she has no other intentions, please forgive me.”

It’s okay if she didn’t come out, but as soon as she came out, the old lady Yan immediately thought of the girl in front of the county government gate. Well, his face became more and more gloomy.

“Okay, okay, okay!”

Mrs. Yan ignored Aunt Lin, but looked at Yan Zhigao angrily: “Since you became the county magistrate, I have never cared about you. I thought you would Self-restraint, to become a good official to take care of the people, but today, I was greatly disappointed!”

“A government servant who bullies others, a concubine who is arrogant and rude, Yan Zhigao, you are really good!”

“Mother !”

Yan Zhigao was so anxious that he immediately knelt down, and at the same time, Mrs. Li also knelt down.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu were a little at a loss. The eldest brother and sister-in-law knelt, should they kneel too?

The adults panicked, and the children didn’t know what to do, they all shrank their necks and squeezed into the corner.

Yan Zhigao was anxious: “Mother, it’s all my son’s fault. You can beat or scold me as much as you want, but don’t get mad at yourself.”

Mrs. Li also hastily admitted her mistake: “Mother, it’s all the daughter-in-law’s fault, it’s the daughter-in-law I didn’t take care of the house.” The

old lady Yan took a look at Yan Zhigao, bent over and helped Mrs. Li up: “What’s wrong with you, the old lady knows what you are, some people think that they will drift away after becoming an official. , I don’t know why.”

Yan Zhigao knew that his mother was talking about himself, he smiled wryly in his heart, and didn’t dare to refute at all.

Mrs. Li didn’t know how to answer the conversation, so she could only help the old lady to sit down.

After a while, the anger on the old lady’s face subsided a lot, and she snorted coldly at Yan Zhigao.

Yan Zhigao knew that his mother was getting angry, so he smiled and stood up.

Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, “Mother, Daohua has been there for some time. I’ll send someone over to see why she hasn’t come yet   ?

”

.

“During this time, my rice flower has suffered a lot. If it weren’t for her, the old woman would have starved to death on the road. Now that she is finally at home, why not let her have a good rest?”

Yan Zhigao immediately said: “Daohua She is still young, and after walking such a long distance, let her rest first.” The

old lady Yan’s complexion improved a bit, and she looked at Mrs. Li: “You are not allowed to disturb her, that girl must be exhausted. See the family What the hell, since people are here anyway, it’s the same any time we see you, and it’s not too late.”

Mrs. Li could only nod her head in response.

Because of this commotion, the atmosphere in the room was slightly stagnant, Yan Zhigao had to be cautious when speaking, and the juniors were even more afraid to talk too much.

At this moment, a servant girl’s announcement came from outside the door.

“Master, madam, the eldest girl is here!” After the

voice fell, the door curtain was lifted.

Immediately, everyone saw a girl in green clothes walking in with a light behind her back and a smile on her face.

The door curtain fell, and everyone saw the girl’s appearance clearly, and their eyes lit up.

The girl smiled brightly, and in an instant, the slightly condensed atmosphere in the room seemed to be washed away by this smile.
