Chapter 83 (1/2)
Chu Jinyao is lost and is looking for Qin Yi to ask for directions. After hearing this, Mammy Zhang was stunned on her face and hurried to see Zhao. Zhao smiled and said, ”if miao'er wants to eat, you can do it. It doesn't take much effort anyway.”
Mother Zhang sighed in her heart. Zhao still couldn't carry it clearly! Chu Jinmiao pushed her away and couldn't tell what she wanted to say, but Zhao responded. Mother Zhang was angry and hated iron and steel.
How old are you? Why don't you even have this ability to distinguish?
After mother Zhang left, Chu Jinmiao hooked her mouth, then sat down in front of Zhao and said, ”Mom, I'm not your own daughter, but I've occupied the name of the first lady and let Chu Jinyao wander outside for 13 years. Do you hate me very much?”
”No!” Zhao was startled. ”How did you think of saying such words?”
Chu Jinmiao lowered her eyes and wanted to cry: ”I also want to be filial to my mother, but others say that I occupy the magpie's nest, covet glory, and hurt the real daughter to suffer outside. It's all my bad, mother. My daughter can't be filial to you in this life. In a few days, you will send me back to the countryside. When I have a good baby in the afterlife, I will be filial to you in good faith, so as not to be scolded by others pointing at my spine.”
Zhao did not expect to hear such words. She was stunned and then became angry: ”who told you this?”
Chu Jinmiao wiped his tears and didn't speak. The more Zhao looked, the more he felt angry: ”is it the servant? The old lady's man? Or Chu Jinyao?”
When it came to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao shouted, ”no, no, don't ask.”
”That's unreasonable!” Zhao angrily patted the table. ”I thought she was a good one. She didn't make any moths these days. Unexpectedly, she dared to say that about you secretly! Miao'er, don't worry. My mother will seek justice for you. Only when my mother is here, you can be a lady of the Marquis house safely. Don't worry about these things.”
”Niang.” Chu Jinmiao went to pull Zhao's sleeve, ”grandma said specially to make you pay more attention to Chu Jinyao. If you scold Chu Jinyao for me and spread it to grandma's ears, she will be dissatisfied with you again.”
Zhao said what she had just said with anger. When Chu Jinmiao reminded her, she thought that there was an old lady. Her mother-in-law was serious and strong. Zhao always took care of her mother-in-law. If the old lady Chu intervened, she really couldn't deal with Chu Jinyao at will. Zhao was angry and hated, and unknowingly transferred her anger to Chu Jinyao. She said gnashing her teeth : ”I need someone else to speak when I deal with my daughter?”
”That's what I said, but who let Chu Jinyao be protected by the old lady? Even the eldest sister speaks to her everywhere. Our mother is weak. How can we compare with the red man in front of the old lady?”
”So she's so precious that no one can control her?”
Chu Jinmiao said: ”Mom, don't be angry. People think of all the ways. She is protected by the old lady. Although you can't take care of her, it's still feasible to find some nurturing mothers for her. She didn't receive any education. She was used to being poor before. She suddenly came to rich and noble countryside. If she didn't discipline well, she would be blindfolded by money and lose her temper. Therefore, you have to find a mother to take care of her everywhere She, although she will certainly complain about you, you are doing it for her good! Even grandma can understand. ”
”Discipline mammy?” Zhao frowned and repeated in disbelief.
”That's right. You can give her a more strict mother to guide her to manage money and people, and supervise her rules at ordinary times. That's really good for her! If she indulges her because she can't bear it, she will give her whatever she wants, and sooner or later she will spoil her temperament. If a person is rotten from the root, it's useless to spend more effort in the future.”
Zhao nodded: ”you're right. She's my daughter after all. I can't watch her all the time. It's better to send someone to discipline her for me. Although she will certainly complain about me, as long as I know in my heart that it's for her good, I won't ask for these false names.” Zhao said, looking at Chu Jinmiao with satisfaction: ”It's very kind of you to think of her like this. After all, she grew up in a poor family, and her heart is not bright enough. Seeing so much money suddenly, she will inevitably be blindfolded and secretly exclude you. Don't worry about her.”
”I understand.” Chu Jinmiao chuckled.
It was late and Chu Jinmiao had to go back to the cross hospital to have a rest. When she went out, she happened to meet mother Zhao coming back with a plate of crispy fruit. Seeing Chu Jinmiao, mother Zhao stopped: ”four girls, are you leaving now? The fruit has just been fried. Do you want any more?”
”I suddenly don't want to eat. Mammy can handle it by herself.” Chu Jinmiao put her hand in her sleeve and said lightly.
It was Chu Jinmiao who said she wanted to eat crispy fruit at night and asked mammy Zhang to fry it herself. When it was ready, she said she didn't want to eat it.
Mother Zhang didn't speak. She stood aside with a plate of fruit and sent Chu Jinmiao out. Mother Zhang lowered her head. At the moment when she felt that she was wrong, Chu Jinmiao looked up and glanced at her very quickly and lightly. Although that eye was light and fleeting, it was like a dark needle soaked in ice water, which hurt human flesh.
……
In Aunt Huang's yard, three girls are pestling in front of Changxing hou to complain.
”Father, I know I'm stupid. Mammy teaches things. The four girls can learn them once. I can only think about it by myself when I come back. I have to practice until I turn the lamp every day. Father, do you think I can't help being so stupid?”
”How could it.” Changxing Hou often came to Aunt Huang's yard, and even the three girls often saw him. Meeting more often, Changxing Hou inevitably had to pity this common woman more. When Changxing Hou saw his daughter drooping and dejected, he felt even more pity. He couldn't help lowering his voice and said, ”clumsy birds fly first and diligence can make up for their clumsiness. You are willing to work hard by yourself, which is far better than your sisters. If you persist in this way, a little makes a lot, and there will always be a return.”
”Really?” the three girls showed a surprise smile. She immediately frowned and bit her lips in distress. ”The four sisters can understand it once in class. They don't need tutoring after they come back, and I always see the lamp every day, so I can be equal to them. Doesn't my father really blame me for being stupid?”
Aunt Huang listened and added in good time: ”it's not just lights. Every time I go to see three girls, it's almost dark. She's still practicing her own words and rules in the house.”
