Chapter 149: The Guardian4000 words
Every household was busy tending the fields and had little time or energy to care about other people's affairs. The Liu family went to Qin's house to make a big fuss, and the small splash quickly subsided.
But the next day, the village chief called the heads of each family to his home, hoping that each family would give ten cents to treat Lv Dan'er's injuries. The villagers couldn't just watch Lv Dan'er's injuries worsen.
There is a chance that someone will die.
It’s a fact that the Liu family can’t afford to treat Donkey Dan’er’s injuries. Even if their popularity in the village is not very good, no one wants to see Donkey Dan’er dragged to death by a wound on his butt. Plus ten cents is really not enough.
Most people are not opposed to paying this amount.
There were a few people who were unwilling to give, and the village chief didn't force them. He just said that if their family had any emergency in the future, they just didn't need to come to him, the village chief.
When it came to this, those few people dared not say a word. They hurriedly ran home and took ten cents and handed it to the village chief. At least they had to say a few nice words to coax them, lest one day they really had one.
What's the matter? The village chief refuses to help.
There were more than fifty households in the village, and within half an hour, they collected more than 500 Wen for Lu Daner. The village chief gave the money to Old Man Liu, and asked him to use it to treat Lu Daner.
hurt.
Not to mention how grateful the Liu family was to the village chief, the village chief walked around to Qin's house after leaving Liu's house, said a few words to Mr. Qin who was playing with his little granddaughter, and then left with a smile.
Mr. Qin sent the village chief out. When he turned around, he saw his little granddaughter looking at him with a smile, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Are you happy now?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rushed over and hugged her grandfather's thigh tightly, raising her little face with bright eyes: "Happy!"
Mr. Qin smiled and asked, "Why are you happy?"
Qin Xiaoxiao scratched his head, doubts flashing in his big eyes: "I don't know, Donkey Dan'er is not good, and his grandparents are not good either, but his butt is so painful and pitiful. Everyone pays to help him treat it."
Shit, I’m so happy, it’s so weird!”
Mr. Qin did not explain the reason. He rubbed his little granddaughter's head and let her think about it slowly.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand, so he put this doubt aside and asked Mr. Qin: "Grandpa, why don't you let the village elder tell people that it was you who came up with the idea to let everyone pay for the donkey eggs?"
Are you going to treat your injury?"
Mr. Qin pointed to his granddaughter's headband and made an analogy: "There is a little sister who doesn't have a headband. An adult will take your headband away and give it to her. The little girl is very happy. Will you be happy?"
Qin Xiaoxiao imagined it for a moment and shook her head: "If you're not happy, I can give the little sister a headband myself. Adults can't take it from me. If she wants to give a headband to the little sister, she should give it to herself."
Mr. Qin nodded slightly and told his granddaughter seriously: "Our family's money is very precious, and other people's money is also very precious. Some people are not willing to pay for Donkey Dan'er's treatment, and some are not willing to let grandpa get a good reputation. Just
I will be angry at grandpa for coming up with such an idea...it is not a good thing to be hated by others!"
If Mr. Qin said this at first, the little girl might not understand. There was an example of giving a headband first. After thinking about it for a while, she actually understood something: "Grandpa, you are so smart!"
Mr. Qin laughed heartily and rarely boasted: "My grandpa is not smart, how can he be your grandpa?"
Speaking of which, this has nothing to do with whether he is smart or not. It can only be said that Mr. Qin has lived for decades and is more understanding of the world than many people.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know this, and looked at Mr. Qin with great admiration: "When I grow up, I will be as smart as grandpa!"
Mr. Qin laughed even louder: "Okay, okay, grandpa is waiting!"
When others heard Mr. Qin's hearty laughter, they knew that it was Qin Xiaoxiao who said coaxing words again, and she was the only one who could make Mr. Qin so happy.
In the room, Zhao Cao'er looked at Xue Ya who looked like a wooden stake depressedly, and said angrily: "You are all a girl who grew up eating one pot of rice. You can just smile and be sweet and talkative, but you are just like a sawed-off gourd."
Just the same, not at all pleasant!"
Ever since Qin Xiaoxiao inadvertently "raised the point" during the Chinese New Year, Xueya no longer flatters Zhao Cao'er as stupidly as before. After hearing Zhao Cao'er's words, she counterattacked expressionlessly: "You and Zhao Cao'er
Aunts are all just mothers, but I have never seen a mother like you do it better than an aunt!"
When Zhao Cao'er heard this, he exploded instantly: "What? What did you say? Tell me again!"
Xue Ya looked at Zhao Cao'er, who was raising eyebrows, and the pent-up dissatisfaction in her heart burst out: "You pick on me every day, you are never satisfied with anything I do, and you never praise me! You think I don't have a sweet smile and a sweet mouth?"
, I still think you are not as kind and gentle as my aunt, you deserve to be mother and daughter!"
This was the first time Xue Ya had satirized Zhao Cao'er so sharply in her life. Zhao Cao'er was shocked. After reacting, he slapped Xue Ya hard on the face without even thinking: "Damn girl,
You rebelled!"
Xue Ya covered her face that had become numb after the severe pain, and looked at Zhao Cao'er with increasing indifference: "You are only allowed to find fault with me, but you don't want me to find fault with you? Just because you are my mother?"
Zhao Cao'er was so angry that she almost lost her breath. She trembled and cursed: "You damn girl, I'm your mother, I can't even say a few words to you? You have to make me angry to death, don't you?"
Xueya took away her hand and showed her already red and swollen cheeks: "No matter how naughty Xiaoxiao is, my aunt will never hit her like this. She is not my biological child; I am your biological child, and you can kill her if you don't listen to a single word."
I am beaten like this, and having a mother like you is worse than not having one at all!"
Zhao Cao'er's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously raised his hand to hit Xue Ya: "Shut up, my mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law gave birth to Xiaoxiao. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death!"
The quarrel between mother and daughter was quite loud, and it soon alerted others. Even Qin Xiaoxiao pulled Mr. Qin in and wanted to know what happened.
Seeing Xue Ya's red and swollen cheeks, Mrs. Miao felt heartbroken. She rarely scolded Zhao Cao'er: "If you can't tell me anything, it's worth beating the child like this!"
Lin Qiuniang didn't agree with Zhao Cao'er's behavior of saying hello to the child's face as he was lecturing her, but as a sister-in-law, she couldn't say anything, so she stepped forward to check on Xue Ya's injury.
Seeing that the skin on his cheek was not broken, but that the inside was bruised by his teeth, he felt even more cruel that Zhao Cao'er had dealt such a harsh hand to a seven-year-old child.
Being looked at by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law with disapproval, Zhao Cao'er did not think she was at fault and explained with aggrieved face: "Mom, it's not that I want to beat this damn girl, it's that this damn girl is too shameless...
"
She omitted Xueya's words about Qin Xiaoxiao not being Lin Qiuniang's biological child, and told what had just happened exactly as it was without adding any extraneous details.
After hearing what happened, Mr. Qin frowned and said nothing, and it was not convenient for Qin Shan to say anything. Qin Chuan, as his father, was extremely angry. He glared at Xue Ya and reprimanded: "Your mother was right in beating you. You are so damned."
This girl is rebelling!"
Xueya was also dissatisfied with Qin Chuan. She also had a bad temper. Her eyes were red and she didn't defend herself. But everyone could see that she didn't think she was wrong.
Qin Chuan became more and more angry, raised his hand and threatened: "What the hell, you still don't admit your mistake, do you?"
Qin Xiaoxiao mistakenly thought that he was going to hit someone, and hurriedly ran out to block Xueya: "Second uncle, sister Xueya is not wrong, why do you want sister Xueya to admit her mistake?"
Xueya looked down at her little cousin, who was small but said she was not wrong in front of everyone. Tears burst out of her eyes and hit the ground one by one along her chin. They silently seeped into the mud and smudged.
into dots.
"Xiaoxiao, get out of the way!" Qin Chuan didn't think his niece could understand the seriousness of this matter, so he didn't take her words to heart: "This damn girl disobeyed your second aunt, which is a great unfilial act. My second uncle must teach her a lesson."
she!"
"I won't let you, Sister Xueya is right!" Qin Xiaoxiao doesn't know what disobedience is and what unfilial piety is. She only knows that what Sister Xueya said is right, and she can't suffer the beating from her second uncle in vain.
She looked at Qin Chuan, who was expressionless, and then at Zhao Cao'er, who was also unhappy, and said seriously: "Sister Xueya can cook, wash clothes, sweep the floor, and do many, many jobs, but I
I never heard Second Aunt praise Sister Xueya, and I always heard Second Aunt say that Sister Xueya is not good here or there."
Zhao Caoer couldn't bear to lose face and said with a dry smile: "Xiaoxiao, the second aunt doesn't praise your cousin because she is afraid that your cousin will be proud and say that she is not good at this and that is not good. She wants her to correct herself and become as annoying as you.
Happy child."
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she immediately said: "Sister Xueya said that the second aunt is not as good as my mother as a mother. She is also afraid that the second aunt will be proud and wants the second aunt to change her bad ways and become as lovable as my mother.
Mother!"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Qin and others twitched their mouths, and they endured it again and again to stop laughing. Especially Lin Qiuniang, who was praised by her daughter, and almost pulled her into her arms and rubbed her hard.
After a group of adults calmed down, they lamented the little girl's quick response, but had to admit that what she said was not entirely unreasonable.
However, Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er blushed. They also couldn't say that their niece's words were wrong because those words came from their mouths.
"Xiaoxiao, you can't say that. I am Xueya's mother. I can say this to her, but she can't say this to me. This is disobedience and unfilial!" Zhao Cao'er hadn't realized his problem yet, so he changed his perspective.
Prove to Qin Xiaoxiao that she is right, and Xue Ya is wrong.
"Second Aunt, I know you are Sister Xueya's mother~" Qin Xiaoxiao took Zhao Cao'er's words into account. When Zhao Cao'er breathed a sigh of relief, she hit him unconscious with another hammer.
"If the second aunt praises sister Xueya more, just like my mother praises me, sister Xueya won't say that the second aunt is not as good as my mother, right?"
"No, no, that's not the case..." Zhao Cao'er, who was two years old, tried his best to refute what his little niece said: "No matter whether my mother is as good as your mother or not, this girl can't say anything bad about me."
Qin Xiaoxiao scratched her head, confused: "If Sister Xueya is not good, the second aunt can say it; if the second aunt is not a good mother, who can say? No one can say that the second aunt is not a good mother, and the second aunt is not a good mother."
She's not a good mother, so she told Sister Xueya not to talk to Second Aunt. It's still the fault of Second Aunt for not being a good mother. You can't blame Sister Xueya!"
Zhao Cao'er was completely confused and didn't know where to refute it. It seemed that no matter where she came from, it was her mother's fault. It was her failure to be a good mother that made Xue Ya say rebellious words!
More than one person was confused, including Mr. Qin, who couldn't think of anything to refute Qin Xiaoxiao. Since he couldn't think of anything, he could only admit that Qin Xiaoxiao's words were right.
In the end, it was Mr. Qin who spoke, asking Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er to reflect on themselves so as not to make any mistakes in educating their children again.
As for Xue Ya... it seemed to be wrong, and it seemed to be right. Mr. Qin also had a headache, so he handed her over to Mrs. Miao and Lin Qiuniang and asked them to get rid of it. He didn't want to see this granddaughter harboring feelings for his parents.
resentment.
The root cause of this conflict between mother and daughter is that Zhao Cao'er didn't take Xueya seriously. She gave birth to four children and gave most of her maternal love to Dabao and Dabao, leaving Xueya and Sanbao to be pitiful.
.
Xue Ya was not a fool. When she saw that Zhao Cao'er's love for her was thinner than a piece of paper, she couldn't help but feel resentful.
Sanbao was a little better than her. When he was a baby, he was cared for the most by Mrs. Miao and Lin Qiuniang. When he was older and could walk and run, he was cared for by his favorite little cousin. Therefore, he was very fond of Zhao.
Cao'er's feelings are relatively indifferent, and her requirements for maternal love are far lower than Xueya's.
I don’t know if she really reflected on it. After that, Zhao Caoer seldom picked on Xueya, but emotionally she still couldn’t get close to Xueya. She may never be like Qin Xiaoxiao and Lin Qiuniang, a mother and daughter.
, have an intimate day.
Xueya was looking forward to Zhao Cao'er's motherly love in her heart, but she still wouldn't please Zhao Cao'er everywhere as before. As long as Zhao Cao'er didn't find fault or deliberately seek trouble, she was willing to respect Zhao Cao'er and maintain the superficial peace.
As a great contributor to quelling the conflict between mother and daughter, Qin Xiaoxiao forgot about the matter within a few days. The happiest people in the entire Qin family were still her and Sanbao, as well as Dahuang and Bieme who followed them around all day long.
It wasn't until the beginning of June that two officers came to Qingshan Village beating gongs and drums to announce the good news and congratulate Qin He for winning three small yuans in a row and becoming a scholar. The whole Qingshan Village was in a state of excitement.
At this time, the double robbery had passed, and there was not much farming in the fields. As soon as the policemen left, the villagers who got the news came to the door in an endless stream to express their congratulations, and asked Mr. Qin to hold a banquet.
Mr. Qin had this plan from the beginning and said with a smile: "Sure, hey, when the third brother comes back, we will set a date for the banquet, and I will definitely invite you to come and have a good drink!"
The village chief was also present and reminded: "When the scholar comes back, we will open an ancestral hall and let him tell his ancestors about this happy event!"
After saying that, the old village chief, who was over sixty years old, couldn't help crying: "It's been two hundred years, it's been two hundred years, and our Qin family has another scholar!"
The villagers were filled with emotion when they heard this. Two hundred years ago, the Qin family was a famous clan in these ten miles and eight towns, all because the whole clan had sacrificed a Tanhua Lang.
The Tanhua Lang was also very capable. He sat all the way to the position of a second-rank official. Not only did he spend money to build an ancestral temple and a school for the children of the clan to study, but he also built a mountain road leading to the outside world, which has benefited the Qin clan members to this day.
