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 was wrong or not, if my cousin said it was wrong, it was 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 kid 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 a beam on your head and stab your buttocks. If you dare to cut through the wall in my house to steal the light, I will beat you to death." Then she
said She changed her 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."
Xiao Lele solved the problem of addressing Li Xiaoyan by herself, and by the way, she also solved the problem of addressing herself, Zhou Qiufeng said nothing and just sat and 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 all in the bedroom on the first floor. Please read and study hard for me. Is there anything you can do?" If you understand, ask me again. If you dare to cheat and cheat, be careful of what you do." She
told Aunt Feng that she would let the naughty kid live in her bedroom on the first floor, and Le Yun threatened the naughty kid fiercely and asked him to raise the money. Wearing a backpack, I went to see the room with myself.
How dare Chen Fengnian say no? He picked up his backpack and followed his cousin in a hurry. His 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 girl from Lejia and the boy, she felt sad. She called out "cousin" and was humiliated in front of her, but the boy was arranged to live in Lejia. The room the girl had stayed in, 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. Without the permission of the Lejia girl, you cannot go to those three floors privately. place.
The second floor of the South Building of the Lejia is also open to visitors. Only the Lejia family members can visit it.
Not to mention the Lejia girl’s bedroom and study, she refused to visit.
Li Xiaoyan was jealous. Her mother was now Uncle Leshan's mother-in-law. She was also a relative of the Le family. Why didn'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 boy to the private area, packed some things that he might need 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 aside his backpack 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 went 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 followed him to the village office 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's house for a visit, so she left naturally.
When she returned to Zhou's home from Le's house, she thought Grandma Zhou would say something, but Grandma Zhou didn't say anything and she panicked.
It's okay for Grandma Zhou to scold herself when she comes back, but it's not a good thing for the old man to say nothing.
She followed Grandma Zhou to feed the piglet, and then returned to the main room of Zhou's family. She cried and admitted her mistake: "Grandma, I was wrong. I just thought it would be closer to call her cousin Le Yun. I didn't know she didn't like Zhou." The kids at home call her cousin."
Grandma Zhou originally thought that Li Xiaoyan just wanted to have a closer relationship with Lele and deliberately called her cousin, and was not prepared to embarrass her, but when she heard the last sentence, she felt something was wrong.
Why doesn't Lele like the Zhou family's children calling 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 felt even more congested. She originally thought that children raised by people like Xiao Meng and Granny Li would be able to handle things clearly. She thought that this step-granddaughter was different from Zhou Chunmei, but now why did she feel like she was overthinking it?
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, and when you meet Lele, you can call me Sister Le. Okay, 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 siblings."
Grandma Zhou called her "Miss Li"? ! Li Xiaoyan was stunned. She stayed there for a few seconds and burst into tears: "Grandma, what did I do wrong? Just scold me and hit me. Don't say that. I can't bear it." "You are from the Li family.
" "Girl, only your mother can beat you and scold you. My words are of no use." Grandma Zhou turned around and said, "Don't cry at all. I heard that you are a reasonable and kind-hearted person." Zai, I am willing to accept you to come to the Zhou family with your mother.
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 you instigate my girl and If we don't get along, then don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you."
Li Xiaoyan, who was whimpering, held back her tears. She was stunned for a moment after being told that she... was seen through, even Grandma Zhou could see through her. Have other ideas?
What about others? Miss Le...did she also see through her and know that she had little 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 coming back to her senses. Looking at the empty kitchen, she felt anxious and scared, restless, and hurried to the third floor of the downstairs to stay in her own room.
Grandma Zhou walked around outside for a few times before returning to the kitchen. She didn't see Li Xiaoyan, and she didn't go to look for her. Miss Li was showing signs of becoming crooked and must be straightened as soon as possible.
It’s hard to say whether it can be corrected, but if you find something is wrong and still ignore it, you will definitely not be able to change it again if you want to break it off in the future.
Just like her granddaughter Zhou Chunmei, she was not found to be crooked before, but by the time she was discovered, she was already crooked 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. In the evening, she finished the housework, prepared dinner and waited for her son and daughter-in-law to come home.
Brother Zhou and his wife went in and out together morning and evening. It was already dark when they got home, so they washed their hands and feet and went into the kitchen.
Brother Zhou was not surprised when he didn't see Zhou Tianming. 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 his son mentioned Li Xiaoyan
, Grandma Zhou glanced at Sister Meng and did not hide anything from her. She said directly: "Lele came back at noon. I wanted to see Lele in the afternoon. Xiaoyan said she wanted to go with me. I thought she would take her with her sooner or later." Xiaoyan went to Lele's house to get acquainted, so she naturally took her there.
Xiaoyan went to Lele's house and called Lele 'cousin', but Lele didn't agree. Lele said that the Zhou family, Tianhong Tianlan, and the others called her Sister Le, so Xiaoyan also I called her that way to avoid misunderstanding. I also told Xiaoyan not to call Qiufeng 'aunt', but to call her aunt or aunt like the children in the village." "
Hiss," Mrs. Meng was frightened and took a breath of cold air. .
Brother Zhou also felt that the whole person was not very good: "Mom, I told you before that when Xiaoyan comes back, you call Tianhong Tianlan and the others Lele to Xiaoyan, and ask Xiaoyan to shout like that, you always Haven't you had time to say it yet?"
"I said it," Grandma Zhou said with a bad expression, "I told Miss Li the day she came home for the holiday, and Miss Li also said she would remember it at the time, but today in front of you, Grandma Man, Grandpa Man and Chen Fengnian called each other '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? Uncle Man and Aunt Man Of course, there was no way to smooth things over.
Lele corrected Miss Li's title and said nothing more.
Miss Li came back with me and cried and said that she just felt that calling her cousin was closer. Unexpectedly, Lele didn't like the Zhou family to call her cousin.
I said a few words to her, but she went back upstairs and never came down. You go and have a look."
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Sister-in-Law Meng realized that her daughter had done something that was contrary to the law, 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'll talk to her tonight." "
Yes. You are a sensible person. I'm relieved." Grandma Zhou said what needed to be said. , no more 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 am wrong, right? I just want to show closer Come on, there is 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 immediately: "Did you help the Lejia when the Lejia was in the most difficult time, or did you protect the Lejia girl or any of the Lejia? Old man?
Or, what have you done to be kind to the Le family?"
Li Xiaoyan was left speechless by the question.
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 have no connection with the Le family. Why should the Le family girl give you face? If you are doing this for this
place You have made a great contribution, and the Le family has also benefited. If Ms. Le doesn't give you any face, you can still say that others are ungrateful. Have you made any contribution to this place?" "Mom..."
Li Xiaoyan felt sad again. Tears come.
"You have done nothing good for this place. Before you came to the Zhou family, you had nothing to do with the Le family. Because you can only go to the Le family as a guest with the Zhou family, how can you get the face?" Mrs. Meng was never willing to scold her girl
. Strong words, but I heard something was wrong from my mother-in-law's words before. I was afraid that my daughter would be blinded by other people's wealth and grow crooked, so she scolded her cruelly.
"Girl Lejia is capable. I heard that she is also a high-ranking figure among the big shots in the capital. She casually donated a library and teaching building to the school, as well as books, computers and other music-related things. In total, it totaled more than 100,000 yuan. 100 million.
In addition, she also 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, worth hundreds of thousands at least. The current Lejia girl
is Even the high-ranking officials in the county cannot invite her to dinner. She will give face to whomever she has a meal with. What about
you, do the high-ranking officials in the county recognize you when they meet you? Others know who you are. Not
to mention the distant ones, even in Plum Village, not every family is related to the Le family. There are only a few families who are most proud of it. They are all families who have always helped each other when the Le family was in the most difficult time. You are here
Zhou Home, being able to go to Le's home with you is already a good fortune that many people can't envy. How shameless do you have to be to say that Miss Le doesn't give you face? If you let others know your thoughts, do you think others will puke on you
? You are so slobbery, I will scold you for being shameless."
Mrs. Meng said one sentence after another, poking into the girl's heart.
Li Xiaoyan's heart was riddled with holes, and her tears rolled out in strings, falling to the ground like broken beads.
"Have you forgotten the past?" Sister-in-law Meng was not ready to stop, so she continued: "When your father was still alive, what kind of life did our mother and I live in the hands of your father? In your father's eyes, our
mother The two of you are no different from the chickens and dogs at home. You can scold them whenever you want, and you have to be beaten every three to five days.
Because you are the flesh that has fallen off my body, I can't bear to leave you, for fear that if I leave you will be beaten by your father. I stayed because of the fight, and I managed to survive.
In the years after your father left, some people tried to persuade me to make peace with me. Other families only asked me to remarry because they thought you were a burden, so no one agreed to let you go with me. Who is willing to raise you and send you to study?
You were born to me, and I don’t want you to be abused. I would rather be a cow and horse myself and want to send you to study so that you can live a better life in the future. I don’t agree to remarry.
Only old 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. You, a girl, go to school and walk on the mountain road. It's not safe, so I offered to let you live with the Zhou family.
Miss Le met me once at the old principal's house, and she didn't object. Only then did the Zhou family feel that my mother and I were not that snobbish, and we had a chance to enter the Zhou family's door.
Ask yourself, when you came to the Zhou family, did Grandma Zhou 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 easy to talk to that you forget your roots and become lawless? "
No..." Li Xiaoyan's face turned pale little by little. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't convince herself.
Grandma Zhou and Uncle Zhou were very good to her, and the aunt of the Zhou family was also very kind. She has never suffered any grievances in the Zhou family, and she doesn’t have to be careful about people’s faces. The Zhou family has never guarded against her like they guard against thieves. She also knows in her
heart that her mother is right, because the Zhou family is good to her, and she Her mother is now the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, the brother-in-law of the little boy from the Le family. She takes it for granted that the Le family siblings must respect her.
After being scolded by her mother, Li Xiaoyan sobered up and 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 be replaced by sincerity. It's good if you really know your mistake. Once you think about it clearly, go down to 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. She called Grandma and Uncle Zhou and sat down with her mother. .Grandma
Zhou and Brother Zhou were still waiting to have dinner together. When Mrs. Meng and her daughter arrived, they started to eat dinner without asking anything.
