Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 28

Xue Song and Xue Shu went into the mountain again, and Ye Ya sat on the kang, continuing to sew the shirt she put down yesterday.

"Is anyone at home?" A thin female voice suddenly came from outside the door, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one at home and it was quiet, she might not have heard it.

The voice sounded familiar, but it wasn't Second Aunt or Chun Xing, it was the first time outsiders came to the house, Ye Ya hurriedly put down her clothes, and rushed out to greet her.When she opened the door of the stove and saw the slim figure standing outside the fence door, she couldn't help being taken aback, why is she here?

Hearing the sound of the door, Xia Hua's heart skipped a beat. Even though she knew that Xue Song must not be at home at this time, she was still nervous. When she saw Ye Ya walking towards her after being slightly stunned, she gave a forced smile, and secretly looked at the two from the corner of her eyes. Sideways, for fear of being seen by others.She sneaked here while her parents were out. If it got to their ears through other people's mouths, I'm afraid they would never let her go out again until they got married next month.Thinking of the getting married day that was getting closer, she felt bitter in her heart, because of the fate that she and him could not get along with each other.

Ye Ya opened the fence door, looked at the obviously embarrassed Xia Hua in front of her, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Xia Hua lowered her head slightly, tightly clutching Libai's silk handkerchief with her slender hands, "Well, I want to trouble you with something, okay, can I go in and talk about it?"

Ye Ya was silent. Although she didn't know the story between Xia Hua and Xue Song, Xue Bai made it very clear that day that Xia Hua was going to get married, and she shouldn't come to Xue's house out of reason. Now, maybe there will be some gossip, it's not good for anyone.

She didn't speak, the meaning could not be more obvious, Xia Hua didn't expect Ye Ya to treat her like this, but now the other party is the legitimate mistress of Xue's family, and she has thoughts that she shouldn't have, and she really can't force her to be friendly and polite.

"Ye... Sister Ye, I, I'm fine, but, can I trouble you to hand this over to Da Lang?" The sadness and grievance made her teary eyelashes, she didn't want her to see herself crying, With his head down, he handed over the purse secretly embroidered by his parents on his back these days.

The purse is very beautiful, smooth brocade, embroidered with a clump of green bamboo, a colorful butterfly hovering outside the bamboo forest, as if staring at the wing that is about to disappear in the depths of the bamboo forest, the exquisite embroidery makes Yiyi feel reluctant to say goodbye leaps to the fore.

If Ye Ya couldn't understand the meaning of this purse, she would have spent two years in Sun's embroidery room for nothing.She was very sorry, if Xia Hua was such a handy and beautiful girl, if she could marry her elder brother, he would be very happy.But the reality is so ruthless, her parents hate the poor and love the rich, and found another good place for her to have a big family and a big business. Then, she should give up completely, instead of breaking the relationship meaninglessly like this.

"Sister Xia Hua, you'd better go back. You can just remember some things in your heart. It's not good for you to speak out or leave excuses." Ye Ya didn't know whether Xue Song still had any thoughts about Xia Hua, but she knew Well, a man like him would never do such a rude thing as giving and receiving privately.

Bad for her?Xia Hua smiled wryly, and tears welled up in her eyes. She was going to marry an old man who was almost forever. This life was over, so what was she afraid of?The only wish now is to keep her heart by his side, and if he thinks of himself, he can also think of others when he sees things.

But the woman Xue Shu married was unwilling to help her?What does she know, does she know her relationship with Xue Song?
When she was 12 years old, Xue Shu stole three apples from her house, but was caught by her father, who dragged her to the house and scolded her for a while.Xue Song hurried over when he knew about it, he stood upright in the courtyard and apologized to his father, no matter how bad his father scolded him, he listened silently, with a calm expression, he was not angry because Xue Shu caused trouble and hurt him He didn't feel ashamed to embarrass his face in front of the villagers because of this matter. When his father finished scolding, he thanked him calmly, then pulled up Xue Shu who was squatting on the ground crying, and bent down to wipe away his tears. There was no blame in his eyes, only warmth and distressed.

I'm afraid he will never know. At that time, she was hiding in the room and could clearly see his every movement and every expression. At that time, she didn't know what responsibility was. She only knew that he was like that. It moved her heart, and made her fall in love with him for six years from the age of 12. She was looking forward to seeing him every day. Even a glimpse from afar could make her happy all day long.

Now that she's getting married, can't she even give him a farewell gift?

She couldn't bear it anymore, squatted on the ground and began to cry.

Ye Ya was at a loss, what was she, a girl who was about to get married, crying here?
"Don't cry, come in and wash your face first." She had no choice but to invite people to the house first, and let her leave from the backyard when things got to this point.

Xia Hua wiped her face with a handkerchief, and followed Ye Ya into the room.

She looked at the tidy and tidy little yard, at the simple but well-organized stove inside, at the unfinished man's coat on the kang, and at Ye Ya fetching water for her to wash her face, she felt sour in her heart. I couldn't stop it.How much she thought that all of this was done by her, how much she wanted to become the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, being poor is nothing, being able to live with the person she likes, no matter how hard or tired she is, her heart is sweet.

After being sour, she even felt a little bit jealous, jealous that Ye Ya could live here, jealous that she could sew and cook for Xue Song, even though she was his younger sibling.

"Don't cry, wash your face." Ye Ya stood aside, quite helplessly.She has never experienced such obsessive love, so she can't understand Xia Hua's sadness. However, it is always uncomfortable to marry a strange old man despite having someone she likes very much, right?Thinking of this, she felt very sympathetic to Xia Hua.

Xia Hua washed her face, and the cool water calmed her down slowly.After Ye Ya came back after splashing the water, she held her hand earnestly: "Sister Ye, I really like Da Lang, and he likes me too... I will get married next month, and it will be difficult to go out again in the future." Just a trip, please help me this time! I know you are afraid of being gossips, but no one will know! Besides, besides, Da Lang will be happy when he sees this purse. Arbitrarily make decisions for him?"

Ye Ya was stunned, yes, no matter how stable a person is, he can't be calm in front of love, right?If the eldest brother really likes Xia Hua, then, if he can get a purse from his beloved, he will definitely cherish it for the rest of his life, right?

She suddenly couldn't figure out whether she should accept it or not. If she accepted it, if the elder brother was unhappy, he would blame her for making up her own mind. If she didn't accept it, in case the elder brother really loved Xia Hua so much and missed this opportunity, I'm afraid he would not even accept it in the future. There is no such thing as seeing things and thinking about people...

"Sister Ye, please, just help me this time, okay?" Seeing that she was shaken, Xia Hua hurriedly begged, tears welling up spontaneously.

Ye Ya was afraid that she would cry all the time, so she had no choice but to accept the purse, "Okay, I'll hand it over to Big Brother for you, but I can't guarantee whether he will accept it or not."

"He will, he will definitely..." Xia Hua wiped her tears contentedly, then endured the sourness and jealousy in her heart, and stared deeply at Ye Ya: "Okay, I have to go home quickly, sister Ye , please help me take good care of him in the future, he is so miserable..."

Take care of her?

Ye Ya thinks these four words are very harsh. Xue Song is Xue Shu's big brother, and also her big brother. She doesn't need to say that she will take good care of them. Xia Hua's words are so earnest, it seems that she is paying attention because of her instructions... ... In terms of status, I am more qualified to take care of my eldest brother. What is she, Xia Hua? Even if she is not married, why does she want to take care of her eldest brother?Because she likes him?
She wanted to say something, but Xia Hua had already walked away with small steps.

Ye Ya stood at the back door, looking at her slender and weak back, her chest seemed to be blocked, such a reckless woman, does elder brother really like her?

However, she heard from the housekeepers that men and women think differently. Sometimes a group of women can't understand another woman and feel that she is not worthy of a good man, but that good man just likes the other woman. Tiao Tiao, just like now, she is a little disgusted with Xia Hua's willful persistence, maybe the elder brother will think she is infatuated instead!
She raised the purse in her hand to look at it, and put it on the kang. When the elder brother comes back later, she just handed it over to him. She is just a helper. What to do with so many thoughts, what to do with the purse, the elder brother has his own decision .

But she didn't expect that the first person to see the purse was not Xue Song, but Chun Xing who came to play with her after lunch.

"Second sister-in-law, did you sew this purse?"

Chun Xing sat cross-legged on the kang, holding the purse that Ye Ya forgot to put away in both hands, repeatedly playing with it, "This butterfly looks real, and the bamboo is also beautiful, second sister-in-law, can you teach me?" Go to Ye Ya, hug her arm and act like a baby.I heard that Xia Hua's mother had learned a Suzhou embroidery stitch before, and the silk handkerchiefs and purses she embroidered in her free time were usually several times more expensive when bought in the town.She has only learned the simplest embroidery method in the village from her mother, and has never seen such rare and good things, but the second sister-in-law's embroidery is very beautiful. If she learns it, she can earn a little more money in the future!
All women tend to compare themselves, Ye Ya is no exception, hearing Chun Xing praise Xia Hua at this moment, her heart boils.

She snatched the purse from Chun Xing and lied, "No, I picked it up when I went back to town."

When Chun Xing heard this, her shoulders slumped immediately. Thinking about it, the second sister-in-law lived in the back mountain, so how could she have such a clever way of stitching?

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ye Ya couldn't help laughing, and purposely elongated her voice: "But... I will be better, do you want to learn?"

She is stupid, not as clever as others, but she can't help but meet a good master.

There are two famous embroiderers in Sun's Embroidery House, one is proficient in Su embroidery and the other is specialized in Shu embroidery. When she was transferred, the master Su embroidery thought she was stupid and only asked her to do some odd work of dividing threads. The Shu embroidery master took a fancy to her, called her to his side, asked a few questions, and formally worshiped her as a teacher.

Of course, the master knows nearly a hundred kinds of complicated stitches, and she has only learned a dozen or so, but compared with Xia Hua's simplest Su embroidery stitches, she is confident that her embroidery work will be better than hers!
