Xing Rui reached out and pulled Xing Min away, avoiding those who wanted to watch the fun.
"Stop crying, are you afraid that people won't hear you?"
Listening to Xing Min still crying, Xing Rui scolded her harshly.
She then wiped it with her sleeve and held it back.
"I've already said hello to Matchmaker Liu. I won't look for you for the time being. I'll hold it off until I go ask."
Taking Xing Min to a deserted place, Xing Rui stopped again.
"At this time, I really can't go back to confront my mother with you. This matter has become urgent. She really sold you, and I have no way to save you."
"Eldest sister,"
Xing Min panicked and pulled Xing Rui's arm, bursting into tears and about to cry again.
"You won't ignore me, will you?"
Xing Rui has thought about it many times since she learned about it.
With the tense relationship between himself and the original mistress, taking action on his own will only make things worse.
But we can't just watch Xing Min being sold like this, after all, she is the girl of the original owner, Silly Mother.
If the child is not good, you can educate her or even beat her.
However, this is a lifelong thing for her, and her life must not be ruined just because of those small conflicts.
"Xing Min, in this case, you can secretly find your elder brother and come to my new house to find me. I will talk to him.
Mom, I listen to my eldest brother the most. If he is willing to speak for you, this matter will be easy to handle."
"Sister, I understand."
When Xing Min saw that her eldest sister didn't care about him, she smiled happily with tears in her eyes.
"Then I'll go call my eldest brother?"
Xing Min let go of Xing Rui's hand and turned to leave, but was stopped by Xing Rui from behind.
"Call your second brother over too,"
"oh,"
Xing Min nodded and ran out.
Xing Rui stood and looked at Xing Min's disappearing figure, frowning, then turned and walked towards her new house.
Liang Sheng packed up the dishes and brought Xing Zihe to the new house.
Seeing Xing Rui standing in the yard in a daze, he walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why are you here, where is Xing Min?"
Liang Sheng looked around and saw no sign of Xing Min.
"She has gone back. Xing Dahe and Erhe will come over in a while, and we will have a few words in the room."
Liang Sheng nodded and looked very understanding. He looked at the circle of river stones under the eaves that had not yet been covered, and picked up the basket to pick up the river pebbles.
"Mom, when will we move here?"
Xing Zihe lives here with Liang Sheng every day now, but he already knows what his two sisters are thinking.
They didn't dare to ask, so they asked their mother for the two younger sisters.
"Don't worry, the cabinets are all packed. Let's find a good day to move here and start working."
As soon as she said work, Xing Rui, who had been looking sad just now, suddenly became energetic again, as if full of blood and resurrected.
The sky is getting longer day by day, and it is still very bright during this time. Xing Rui also started to bend down and spread the river pebbles.
The ones used this time are relatively large and flat ones, which Xing Rui and Liang Sheng specially selected from the riverside in the past two days.
While I was working, I heard a crash and the sound of a load of sand and gravel pouring down.
"Are they all here?"
It had been raining the past few days, and Liu Qiang had not pulled out the gravel for several days. Now that he had time, he started to complete what he had promised.
Liang Sheng nodded without saying anything, picked up a basket of river pebbles and walked towards the door of the room.
"I'll help you carry it."
Liu Qiang caught up with him enthusiastically, helped Liang Sheng carry one end of the earthen basket, and came to Xing Rui's side.
"Sister, you see I've been doing this for so many days, why don't you just put my teeth in place?"
Who could believe that the once arrogant Liu Qiang could now be so humble to please Xing Rui?
Fist can knock a person down, or even scare him.
But the only way to truly hold them hostage for a long time is to have useful skills.
"Okay, you've been working a lot these days, so I'll take care of the tooth issue.
I'll give you the strongest one, so even an iron fist can't knock it off for you."
This statement is obviously a satire on Liu Qiang's rogue ways in the past.
Liu Qiang could only blush and lower his head, thanking him again and again.
"Thank you sister, thank you sister, I, I, I, I will do it."
With that said, he took the empty soil basket from Liang Sheng's hand and ran out.
Seeing Liu Qiang's playful look, Xing Rui also smiled.
The sky was dark, Xing Rui washed Xing Zihe's little feet clean.
As I hugged the warm stove, I hadn't heard the sound of Xing Min and the others coming.
"It's so late, you won't come, right?"
Liang Sheng brought the abacus over. Since Xing Rui bought this thing in the town,
Liang Sheng teaches his son He for a while every night when he has nothing to do. The child's little hands are no longer as clumsy as he was when he picked up the abacus beads.
"I'll come, you guys study. I'll get some mugwort and smoke it. There are too many mosquitoes these days."
"Okay, go ahead."
Liang Sheng lit a lamp in his room and began to teach Xing Zihe abacus. Xing Rui walked out to find the mugwort that had been picked and dried during the day.
I grabbed a small handful from the ground and was about to get up when I heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard door.
The door opened, and two black figures walked in one after the other.
No need to look, the one in front who walks faster and has more momentum must be Xing Dahe.
The one behind him who only followed and lowered his head was Xing Erhe.
"coming?"
Xing Rui took the initiative to say hello, and then looked behind the two people, but Xing Min was not there.
"Xing Min said you wanted to talk to Erhe and me?"
Xing Rui put the mugwort in her hand on the window sill, thinking that Zihe was studying abacus in the room.
He pointed at the two wooden piers on one side and said,
"Brother, please sit down. I won't invite you into the house. The child is studying. There are some words I don't want Liang Sheng to hear."
Xing Dahe walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
"I won't sit down anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
While talking, Xing Dahe looked towards the light in the room.
There are a few people in Dahe Village who can light oil lamps, and now my silly girl's family is really living a better life.
I have long heard that not only their place, but also Lao Wangtou's place has oil lamps lit every night.
Because of this, the mother-in-law at home has had trouble with me countless times.
It's only because I'm a useless man that I can't even light an oil lamp.
"It's Xing Min's business,"
Xing Rui never liked to talk in roundabout ways. Xing Erhe lowered his head even more when he heard this.
"What's wrong with Xing Min?"
Xing Dahe's very disdainful tone made Xing Rui, who had not yet gotten to the point, feel inexplicably angry.
"Brother, Xing Min is your biological sister. Mom wants to sell her to Erhe to get a wife. Isn't that what you had in mind?"
"Silly..."
"I have my own name."
Xing Rui scolded Xing Dahe unceremoniously.
"Okay, okay, Xing Rui, can you please stop talking nonsense here? When did my mother sell out to Xing Min? She is such a big girl, it's time to find her husband's family."
