Chapter 1832 Soul Torture
After staying at his cousin’s house for so long, Chen Fengnian has long understood the truth. No matter whether he is right or wrong, if his cousin is embarrassed, he should admit his mistake first.
Wrong or not is secondary, attitude is primary.
Regardless of whether it is wrong or not, if my cousin said it was wrong, it is wrong.
The clever Chen Fengnian saw that there was no sunshine on his cousin’s face, so he admitted his mistake first and showed his good attitude of taking learning seriously.
The naughty boy said three adjectives in one breath, but they were a bit inappropriate for the occasion. Le Yun glared at him fiercely: "You can just hang your head and stab your buttocks, but you dare to cut through the wall in my house to steal the light. I'll beat you to death."
Then he changed his tone: "Aunt Feng, let this naughty kid live in my room on the first floor so that he can study hard, and I will sleep in the study on the second floor."
< br />Xiao Lele solved the problem of addressing Li Xiaoyan by herself, and also helped herself solve the problem of addressing her. Zhou Qiufeng said nothing and just listened to Xiao Lele discipline the naughty child.
When he heard Xiao Lele talking to him, he smiled and replied: "Okay. Let him live wherever you arrange for him to live."
"My books are basically It's all in the bedroom on the first floor. You can read and study hard for me. If you don't understand something, ask me again. If you dare to cheat and cheat, be careful of your bad behavior."
Talking to Aunt Feng In order to let the naughty kid live in her bedroom on the first floor, Le Yun threatened the naughty kid fiercely and asked him to carry his backpack and go see the room with her.
How dare Chen Fengnian say no? He picked up his backpack and followed his cousin in a hurry. The cousin let him stay in the bedroom where she used to live, which meant that she trusted him very much!
Li Xiaoyan sat next to Grandma Zhou, trying to minimize her presence. When she heard the conversation between the Le family girl and the boy, she felt sad. She called out "cousin" but was humiliated in front of her. That The young man was arranged to live in the same room as the girl from the Le family. The treatment was completely different.
She has heard about some unwritten taboos of the Lejia. The third floor of the south building of the Lejia, the refrigerator room of the north building of the Lejia, and the second floor of the north building are all the important places of the Lejia. She did not get a girl from the Lejia. Yes, you can't go to those three places privately.
The second floor of the South Building of Lejia is also open to visitors. Only people led by Lejia can visit.
Let alone the Lejia girl’s bedroom and study room, she refused to visit.
Li Xiaoyan is jealous. Her mother is now Uncle Leshan’s mother-in-law. She is also a relative of the Le family. Why doesn’t the Le family girl treat her as a relative?
Chen Fengnian followed his cousin into the room, looked around, ran to the couch and touched it, with a look of amazement on his face. The couch in his cousin's boudoir felt many times more expensive than the bed in the guest room.
Le Xiaoxiao led the naughty child to the private area, packed some things that might be used recently and put them in a large suitcase, and carried them to the study on the second floor along with his own medicine box and a backpack.
The cousin went to the second floor. Chen Fengnian threw his backpack aside and cleverly went to work as a handyman for his cousin.
Le Yun met the naughty kid once, put her belongings in the study, and continued back to the living room on the second floor to teach her younger brother music theory.
Xiao Lele took Chen Fengnian away, and Zhou Man’s grandma, Village Chief Zhou, also avoided any topic related to Meng’s mother and daughter, and talked about some common things. After the handsome guy finished unloading the goods, Village Chief Zhou Follow him to the village office building again.
Grandma Zhou talked for a while, saying that she wanted to feed the piglets and go back to her home first.
Li Xiaoyan followed Grandma Zhou to the Le family for a visit, and naturally left with her.
When I returned to Zhou’s home from Lejia, I thought Grandma Zhou would say something, but Grandma Zhou didn’t say anything and she panicked.
It was okay for Grandma Zhou to scold herself when she came back, but it was not a good thing for the old man to say nothing.
She followed Grandma Zhou to feed the piglets, then returned to the main room of the Zhou family, crying and admitting her mistake: "Grandma, I was wrong, I just think calling Le Yun closer to my cousin is closer. , I don’t know that she doesn’t like the Zhou family’s children to call her cousin.”
Grandma Zhou originally thought that Li Xiaoyan only wanted to have a closer relationship with Lele, so she deliberately called her cousin, and she was not prepared to embarrass her. The last sentence felt wrong.
Why doesn’t Lele like the Zhou family’s children to call her cousin?
Did Miss Li want to remind her that Lele looked down on the Zhou family's children? Or is it to blame Lele for not treating her as a relative?
Grandma Zhou’s heart was even more blocked. She originally thought that children raised by people like Xiaomeng and Granny Li would be able to handle things clearly. She thought that this step-granddaughter was different from Zhou Chunmei, but now she feels like Are you thinking too beautifully?
She felt uncomfortable, and her voice was no longer as gentle as before: "Miss Li, from now on you can call Qiufeng Aunt Feng or Aunt Zhou as Lele said. You can call me Sister Lele, but you don’t have to. Anyway, you and Lele are not familiar with each other. We all live our own lives, and we will not force you to associate with the Lele sisters."
Zhou Grandma calls her "Miss Li"? ! Li Xiaoyan was stunned and stayed for a few seconds before bursting into tears: "Grandma, what did I do wrong? Just scold me and hit me. Don't say that, I can't bear it."
< br />"You are a girl from the Li family. Only your mother can beat you and scold you. My words are of no use." Grandma Zhou turned her face: "Don't cry at all. I heard that you You are a reasonable and kind-hearted person, so I am willing to accept you and your mother to come to the Zhou family.
You have your own thoughts. As long as it is not excessive and does not harm the Zhou family and the Le family, naturally no one will say anything. If it is because of you that your daughter and I are at odds, then don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate you. . "
Li Xiaoyan, who was crying, held back her tears. She was stunned for a while. She... was seen through. Even Grandma Zhou could see that she had other ideas?< br />
Where are the others? Miss Le...did she also see through her and know that she has small thoughts?
Li Xiaoyan was in a daze, and her tears stopped flowing.
Grandma Zhou gave Miss Li a few words and stopped being aggressive. She went out calmly and walked around the back of the house twice, which was considered a step down for Miss Li.
Li Xiaoyan sat in silence for a long time before she recovered from her lost state. Looking at the empty kitchen, she felt anxious and scared, restless, and hurriedly went to the third floor of the downstairs and went back to her room to stay.
Grandma Zhou walked around outside for a few times before returning to the kitchen. She did not see Li Xiaoyan and did not look for her. Miss Li was showing signs of becoming crooked and must be straightened as soon as possible.
Can It can't be straightened out, and it's hard to say, but if you find something wrong, you still ignore it, and if you want to break it off in the future, you will definitely not be able to get it back.
Just like her granddaughter Zhou Chunmei, she didn't notice that she was crooked before, and so on. When she found out, she had already gone astray and could not return to the right path.
Grandma Zhou felt that she could not let Miss Li become the second Zhou Chunmei, and she was very concerned about it. By the evening, she would finish the housework and make dinner. Waiting for his son and his wife to come home.
Brother Zhou and his wife went in and out together morning and evening. When they got home, it was already dark, so they washed their hands and feet and went into the kitchen.
Not seeing Zhou Tianming, Zhou My brother was not surprised either. He guessed that he must have gone to Lele’s house. He didn’t see Li Xiaoyan, so he asked: “Mom, did Xiaoyan go to Lele’s house with Tianming? "
When her son mentioned Li Xiaoyan, Grandma Zhou glanced at Sister Meng and did not hide it from her. She said directly: "Lele came back at noon. I want to see Lele in the afternoon. Xiaoyan She said she wanted to go with me. I thought that sooner or later I would take Xiaoyan to Lele's house to get to know her, so I naturally took her there.
Xiaoyan went to Lele’s house and called Lele ‘cousin’. Lele didn’t agree. Lele said that the Zhou family, Tianhong Tianlan, called her sister Lele, and asked Xiaoyan to call her sister Lele so that others wouldn’t misunderstand. She told Xiaoyan not to call Qiufeng 'gu', but to call her aunt or aunt like the children in the village. "
"Hiss", Mrs. Meng was frightened for a while and took a breath of cold air.
Brother Zhou also felt that the whole person was not very good: "Mom, I told you before When Xiaoyan comes back, you tell Xiaoyan how Tianhong Tianlan and the others call them Lele, and ask Xiaoyan to call them the same way. Haven't you had time to say it yet? ”
"I said it," Grandma Zhou said with a bad face: "I told Miss Li the day she came home from vacation. Miss Li also said she would remember it at the time, but today in front of you, Grandma Man, Grandpa Man, and Chen Fengnian's face was called 'cousin'.
When Lele came back, he was followed by two bodyguards. They were moving things in the main room. Under such circumstances, what can I say? Your uncle Man Of course, Aunt Man couldn't smooth things over.
Lele corrected Miss Li's title and said nothing more.
Miss Li came back with me, crying and saying that she just felt Call her cousin to get closer. I didn’t expect Lele to dislike the Zhou family calling her cousin.
I said a few words to her, but she went back upstairs and never came down. You guys go and take a look."< br />
After listening to her mother-in-law’s words, Sister Meng realized that her daughter had done something treacherous, which not only offended Miss Le, but also made her mother-in-law resentful.
She immediately apologized: "Mom, Xiaoyan did something wrong and caused you trouble. I will talk to her tonight."
"Well. You are a You are sensible, I feel at ease." Grandma Zhou said what needed to be said and did not go into a long speech.
Mrs. Meng asked her mother-in-law and Zhou Xialong to eat first. She went downstairs to look for her daughter on the third floor. When she saw the light in the room, she knocked on the door and shouted twice, and the door opened.
Seeing the red and swollen eyes of her daughter who opened the door, Mrs. Meng sighed: "Xiaoyan, the old man just told me what happened when you went to Lejia." Mom also thinks I'm wrong, right? I just want to show that I'm closer, and there's no need for her to touch my face like this." Li Xiaoyan wanted to cry again.
"Then why did you let the Lejia girl give you face?" Mrs. Meng did not relent, and asked right away: "Did you help the Lejia when the Lejia was in the most difficult time, or did you protect the Lejia? Which girl from the Le family or the old man from the Le family?
Or, what have you done to be kind to the Le family?"
Li Xiaoyan was speechless when asked.
After stopping the question, Mrs. Meng asked again: "You have nothing to do with the Le family, and you have no kindness to the Le family. You are not related to the Le family, so why should the Le family girl give you anything?" Do you have face?
If you have made great contributions to this place, the Le family will also benefit. If Miss Le doesn’t give you face, you still have the right to say that others are ungrateful. What have you done for this place? Do you want to contribute?"
"Mom..." Li Xiaoyan felt sad and shed tears again.
"You have done nothing good for this place. Before you came to the Zhou family, you had no connection with the Le family at all. Because you can only go to the Le family as a guest with the Zhou family, where do you get the face? ”
Sister-in-law Meng was never willing to scold her own girl for harsh words, but she had heard something wrong from her mother-in-law's words before, fearing that her daughter would be dazzled by other people's wealth and grow crooked, so she scolded her cruelly.
"Girl Lejia is capable. She was heard to be on the throne among the big shots in the capital. She readily donated a library and teaching building to the school, as well as books, computers and other music classes. The total amount of things exceeds 100 million.
Also, she donated a batch of machines to the county hospital, each of which is worth 100 million. She also donated a batch of machines to the township hospital. It's worth hundreds of thousands at least.
The current Lejia girl is a big shot that even the high-ranking officials in the county can't invite her to dinner. Who does she want to have dinner with? Who do you want to give face to?
What about you, do the senior officials in the county recognize you when they meet you? Do others know who you are?
Not to mention Meicun, which is far away. It’s not that every family is related to the Le family, there are only a few families that are most proud of it. They are all people who have always helped each other when the Le family was in the most difficult times.
When you come to the Zhou family, Being able to go to Le's house with you is already a good fortune that not many people can envy. How shameless do you have to be to say that Miss Le doesn't give you face?
Let others know your thoughts, look. Will others spit on your face or scold you for being shameless?"
Mrs. Meng's words poked deep into the girl's heart.
Li Xiaoyan’s heart was riddled with holes, and her tears rolled out in strings, like broken beads falling to the ground.
"Have you forgotten the past?" Mrs. Meng was not ready to stop, so she continued: "When your father was still alive, what kind of life did we and my mother live in the hands of your father?
In your father’s eyes, we are no different from the chickens and dogs at home. We can be scolded whenever we want, and we have to be beaten every three to five days.
Because you are the flesh that fell off my body, I couldn’t bear to leave you. I was afraid that you would be beaten by your father when I left, so I stayed and managed to survive.
After your father left In the years when I was a child, some people tried to get me married. Other families only asked me to remarry because they thought you were a burden. No one agreed to let you come with me, and no one wanted to support you and send you to school.
You are I gave birth to you. I couldn’t bear to let you be cheated on me. I would rather be a cow or a horse myself. I also want to send you to study so that you can live a better life in the future. I don’t agree to remarry.
Only Principal Yin can be such a matchmaker. , only the Zhou family has never disliked you from the beginning and is willing to raise you as a girl. It was also the Zhou family who said that the small village where you live is too remote and it is not safe for you, a girl, to go to school and walk on the mountain roads, so they took the initiative to let you go. Come live with the Zhou family.
Miss Le met me once at the old principal’s house. She didn’t object. The Zhou family onlyI feel that my mother and I are not that kind of snobbery, so we and my mother have the opportunity to enter the Zhou family's door.
Ask yourself, when you came to the Zhou family, did Grandma Zhou’s family give you a look? Has your Uncle Zhou ever disliked you?
Xiaoyan, is it because the Zhou family is so good to you and the old man is so talkative that you forget your roots and become lawless? "
"No..." Li Xiaoyan's face turned pale little by little when she was told that. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't even convince herself.
Grandma Zhou, Uncle Zhou was very kind to her, and the Zhou family's aunts were also very kind. In the Zhou family, she never suffered any injustice, and she didn't have to be cautious about people's faces. The Zhou family never guarded her like they guarded against thieves.
She also knew in her heart that her mother was right because the Zhou family was good to her. Her mother was now the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, the daughter-in-law of the Le family's little boy's uncle. She took it for granted that the Le family siblings were the same. You have to respect her.
After being scolded by her mother to wake her up, Li Xiaoyan cried even harder: "Mom, I know I was wrong. "
After talking about the truth, Mrs. Meng felt relieved: "Nothing in this world comes for free. Only sincerity can replace sincerity. It's good if you really know your mistake and think clearly. Just go down and eat. ”
“Hmm. "Li Xiaoyan responded with a nasal voice, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then followed her mother downstairs.
When she entered the kitchen and saw Grandma Zhou and Uncle Zhou, Li Xiaoyan did not dare to lose her temper and called Grandma Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhou sat down with their mother.
Grandma Zhou and Brother Zhou were still waiting to have dinner together. When Mrs. Meng and her daughter came, mother and son didn’t ask anything and started eating dinner.
