"Wait, you hold it first while I get something first." Hong Xuemei began to play with something unknown in her hand.
Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth due to the scalding hot teacup and the burning of her hands. She was really worried that accidentally letting go of her hand would give someone the chance to cause trouble.
Hands shaking...
The lid of the teacup also made a squeaking sound.
After a while...
Only then did Hong Xuemei raise her head: "Thank you for your hard work." She stood up and went to take the tea cup. But at the same time she took the tea cup.
‘Wow…’ All the water in the tea cup was poured out instantly and poured on Xiaoxiao’s fingers again. Xiaoxiao quickly retracted her hand.
"Hey, I didn't move just now. You must have shaken just now." Hong Xuemei said innocently.
Frowning her brows, Xiaoxiao gently clenched her fists. She breathed a heavy sigh. She was sincerely trying to punish her, and she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.
"Mrs. Hong... do you still want to drink tea?" Her eyes widened, but when she looked at Hong Xuemei, she suppressed the anger in her brows.
Hong Xuemei threw her hands: "Forget it... I broke two of my favorite cups, how can I still be in the mood to drink. Hey, these cups are priceless. Hey." He sighed.
.
It was as if these words were specially spoken to Xiaoxiao. Ha... Her hands could not hold up two cups. At this moment, she could feel nothing but chills.
At the end of the day, she was ordered to do that. Of course, she was also keeping an eye on her identity as the future young lady. The servants would not dare to do anything to her, so throughout the day, Hong Xuemei was staring at her. In fact, she was doing something.
, it was not painful, but she had to work again before her hands could recover. Several times she thought her hands would be so useless?!
During lunch, Hong Xuemei didn't let her eat because she hadn't finished her work. In the evening, she was asked to do other things, but there was still nothing to eat.
It wasn't until eleven or twelve that Maomao and Xuanyuan brother and sister came back. When they came back, it was time to get ready for bed.
Her hands were no longer red, but they were dotted with blisters, which were caused by being burned. She accidentally broke several of them while working.
"Xuanyuan Lie, my son has just come here. He is not used to it. He can't sleep without me. I will go to his room to sleep tonight." Xiaoxiao said lightly. She had no other energy after a busy day.
His black eyes looked at her, and finally fell on her hands. Her hands were particularly conspicuous at the moment.
He didn't speak.
"Since you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Turning around, she walked out of the door, called the maid, and asked her to take her to Maomao's room.
Because Mu Maomao was too tired, he hid in his room to take a bath after returning from playing. When she came in, he was already lying on the bed and about to fall asleep.
"Mommy..." she called vaguely and rubbed her eyes with her hands.
"Go to sleep, I won't disturb you." Xiaoxiao walked towards the bed.
Maomao squinted his eyes and nodded. When he was about to go back to sleep, his eyes fell on Xiaoxiao's conspicuous hands. His eyes widened, and he turned over and sat up.
"Mommy, your hands..."
The person who least wanted him to worry was her son. She quickly shrank her hands and put them behind her back: "Go to sleep."
"Mommy, what's going on with your hands?" Maomao became stubborn and took Xiaoxiao's hand. When he saw the red and swollen hands, he burst into tears: "Mommy, what's going on? Who did it?
." The blisters on his hands were like needles pricking his heart.
"I accidentally got burned by hot water. It's okay. It will be fine in two days."
"But...but..." Maomao sobbed, gently lifting her hand, not daring to hold it for fear of hurting her. Maomao is not stupid, how could Mommy be so careless and get burned like this?
There must be something wrong: "Mommy, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone out to play with them. I didn't protect you."
"Silly boy, do I still need your protection?"
"Mommy, wait for me." Maomao jumped out of bed and ran out quickly. He ran back after a while, holding a bottle of medicine in his hand.
"Where did it come from?"
"I asked the fake sister-in-law for it." He shrank his head.
"Didn't I teach you that you have short hands when holding people?" Xiaoxiao frowned and said, not to mention that the opponent was Xuanyuan Xiaoya.
"Even if you have short hands, I still owe my sister-in-law. Mommy, I'll give you some medicine." He gently grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand with his little hand, and while exhaling carefully, he applied medicine for her.
Xiaoxiao was about to cry...but she still held it back. If she didn't be stronger, who would be brave for her son? She was already a mother, and she couldn't shed tears so easily in front of her child.
Thinking that in this wealthy house, only her son would feel sorry for her. Having such a child made her heart full of joy.
That night, she hugged the cat and slept deeply. Compared with the restlessness last night, she slept soundly.
the next day……
Xuanyuan Xiaoya knocked on the door early in the morning. She grabbed Maomao and said she wanted to take him to a more fun place.
Maomao shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I don't want to go today."
"Why? Didn't we have a lot of fun yesterday? Your dad will go too."
"No, you go and play. I want to be with Mommy today." Maomao grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand. He couldn't leave Mommy here alone.
"Let's go...I lent you some medicine yesterday, let's go...please...Mao Mao..." Xuanyuan Xiaoya twisted.
Sure enough, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short. When talking about medicine, Maomao’s little face wrinkled up and lowered her head. What should I do? Does she want to keep her mother alone? No, absolutely not!
"Maomao, my sister-in-law has spoken, so you can go play with her." Xiaoxiao also saw her son's dilemma.
"But……"
"Go ahead."
In the end, Xuanyuan Xiaoya took Maomao away. Just like yesterday, she also took Xuanyuan Lie away with her. After she washed up, she prepared to go down and wait for breakfast.
After having breakfast yesterday, she had not eaten lunch or dinner. She could endure a few meals without eating, but her stomach was already growling.
As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Hong Xuemei sitting below.
Seeing Xiaoxiao coming downstairs, Hong Xuemei was surprised: "Why are you here? Didn't you go out with Xiaoya and the others?"
"No."
"Oh... I thought you went out with them. I just asked someone to throw away all the breakfast. Oh, forget it, it will be noon in a while. Let's eat at noon. I still have some things for you to do."
Hong Xuemei waved to her.
This was almost like conjuring a spirit! Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and she had to face what she had to face. She had to endure the protests from her stomach and get busy.
Everything Hong Xuemei asked her to do, she would use the sentence, 'This is set up to test the future daughter-in-law, you have to go through it, so just be patient and patient.'
These words sounded false, but they were sincere and since they were elders, she had no room to refuse.
