Yan Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, and gave Yuan Lan a cold look.

Yuan Lan happened to meet her gaze, and seeing her clearly, her heart tightened.

This look is so cold that it makes people feel uneasy.

Yuan Lan has been married to Xu's family for so long, and has always been respectful and respectful, and she is also very afraid of Xu Yitang.

But the fear she felt when facing Xu Yitang was completely different from the trembling feeling that Yan Xiao gave her at this moment.

The latter was even more frightening. Yuan Lan looked away in a panic, stabilized her mind for a while, and then mustered up the courage to look at Yan Xiao again.

She had lowered her eyes and was patting the old lady's back so that she would not be so tired.

Yuan Lan felt that she was thinking too much, she was still a child, only 15 years old, a little girl from the countryside, she had never seen the world, so how could she be so cruel?Why should I be afraid of myself!

After thinking about it, Yuan Lan said, "Okay, it's all here, of course I can't drive you away, so as not to make people laugh, I'll go and arrange rooms for you, Mom, will you go back tomorrow?"

She also asked a question, for fear that the old lady would stop too much.

"Yeah, I'm going back tomorrow."

Yuan Lan was secretly relieved by the old lady's reply, and she took the two of them to their room.

Yan Xiao never thought that this luxurious Xu family would have such a small room.

The house is so laughable that only one bed can be put down, and a simple seat is placed by the window, which is the layout of the whole room.

But she didn't care, and she didn't plan to live here for long.

After the two entered, Yuan Lan said, "I'll get you something to eat in a while, so you don't go out here."

The old lady opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it all back.

After Yuan Lan closed the door and went out, the old lady sat down with Yan Xiao and said, "From now on, you have to learn some rules here, be diligent, and you want desserts on your mouth, you know?"

"I see." Yan Xiao didn't know how many times she had heard grandma say this, and she could recite it by heart.

The old lady looked at the cage-like room again, and sighed slightly, "I will come to see you later when I have time, you have to be well."

"Grandma, you have to take care of yourself too. Plant less crops in the field. I won't let you support me in the future, so you don't need to be so tired..." Yan Xiao said in a very uncomfortable way.

From the bag she brought, she rummaged through it for a long time and took out a wad of money and handed it to her grandma, saying, "You take this money to see a doctor, if it's not enough, I'll find a way."

"Where did you get the money!" The old lady looked at the pile of money with obvious fear in her eyes.

"I bought these spices in exchange for them. Don't be afraid." Yan Xiao hurriedly explained.

It’s fine if it’s not stolen, the old lady pushed the money back, “You still need a lot of money here, so just keep it for yourself.”

The old lady tidied her clothes again and said, "Buy yourself some decent clothes, you can't dress so shabby here as at home, you know?"

"Understood." Yan Xiao didn't force it, and collected the money.

After Yan Xiao changed the old lady's clean clothes, when she took the wet clothes and wanted to go out to dry for grandma, she was stopped by the old lady, "Your mother said, you won't let them go out, we'd better wait." wait."

Holding the clothes, Yan Xiao felt mixed feelings.

After a while, Yuan Lan came, carrying two bowls of rice with vegetables on top. There were quite a variety of vegetables, but they looked a little cold.

After she put it down, she said, "Eat first, rest early after eating, and don't walk around, you know?"

Yan Xiao followed suit and said, "Grandma's clothes are wet, I want to wash her, otherwise she won't have anything to wear tomorrow."

Yuan Lan looked at the clothes in her hand, obviously disgusted, "The clothes are dirty, old and torn, I should throw them away, I'll find two clothes for Mom."

She left after she finished speaking, but the old lady said reluctantly, "The clothes are so worn out, they can still be worn, they can't be repaired, just smile and put them in a bag for me, I'll take them home and wash them .”

Yan Xiao sighed and had no choice but to find a bag to put it away.

The dinner for the two of them was the two bowls of cold food. Although the taste was not bad, the cold food would become unpalatable no matter how delicious it was.

Yan Xiao only took two bites and didn't stop again, waiting for Yuan Lan to bring clothes to grandma.

The clothes were Yuan Lan's old clothes. She specially picked out more plain clothes for the old lady to change into, and told her not to go out and wander around. After explaining the location of the bathroom, she left.

That night, Yan Xiao lay on that bed, feeling very uncomfortable.

Before dawn in the morning, the old lady got up and put on her clothes to leave.

She moves lightly, afraid of waking up Yanxiao.

With his back to her, Yan Xiao looked like he was in a deep sleep.

After the old lady packed her things, she quietly opened the door and left.

The moment the door closed, Yan Xiao opened his eyes.

She didn't fall asleep all night, and when grandma fell asleep, she stuffed the money back into grandma's bag.

In order not to let her find out, she still wrapped it in a bag and put it in dirty clothes, in case she would not want the money if she found out.

Yan Xiao knew that her grandmother was ill, but she didn't know what illness she had.

She sold the spices that she had collected for a long time, some of which she got from the mountains and other sources.

The owner of the Chinese medicine store gave a lot of money, plus the money she had saved in the past, barely managed to scrape together [-] yuan for grandma, fearing that she would be reluctant to see a doctor and take medicine, which would drag her down.

Yan Xiao picked up the simple desk, sat cross-legged on it, and looked at the back of grandma when she left from the small window.

Yuan Lan didn't even get up to see her off, leaving only a servant to rush her out of this luxurious villa.

Yuan Lan kept looking at the hunched back, unwilling to move away for a long time, until she couldn't see the back, her eyes became sour.

At dawn, Yuan Lan came to call Yan Xiao, her attitude was still cold, "This is your room, you will live here from now on, I'm already trying to solve the matter about your going to school, before going to school During this period of time, you can help the family with something, and go to weed the grass in the yard today."

When the servant took her to the backyard, Yan Xiao saw a large area of ​​weeds.

It can be seen that this piece of weeds has not been cleared for many years, and there are still many thorns in it. It is a deserted garden.

The Xu family's yard is very large, and there is no shortage of such a yard, but Yuan Lan asked her to clean it up, without even giving her a glove.

Yan Xiao took the tool and started to take care of it slowly.

The grass was messy and miscellaneous, and there were many thorns, which hurt people very much. After a while, Yanxiao's hands were covered with scars.

But she didn't stop, she was still cleaning up.

The sound of the piano came from a certain wound on the third floor, ding ding dong dong, some of them were no longer tuned, someone must be practicing the piano.

Yan Xiao touched the sweat on his forehead and continued to deal with the weeds.

These weeds are too difficult to remove, laborious and slow to deal with.

The weather is not good yet, gloomy and oppressive.

The only thing that comforted Yan Xiao was that she found several kinds of spice plants among the weeds.

These spices are not the kind that can only be found in the wild. Yan Xiao was very happy and began to distinguish these weeds from spice plants.

It took Yan Xiao three whole days to take care of this deserted garden, and she also sorted out those spice plants.

She kept some of the grass seedlings, and put away some that needed to be picked, and then cleaned up the weeds and pushed them out.

Those early weeds pushed more than a dozen carts, and they were all pushed by Yan Xiao himself. They ran back and forth many times, and it was very difficult to push them out, but no one came to help.

When she finished this, Yuan Lan didn't even look at it, and arranged new things for her to do.

This time, I was cleaning the piano room and studio on the third floor for Xu Qingying.

The studio belonged to Xu Qingyuan, who had put it aside after studying abroad, and it was very messy.

In the piano room, Xu Qingying practices the piano every day, but she likes to throw things away at will, and there are servants to collect them anyway, so it is not very neat.

She had no choice but to tidy up the studio, and in the process of tidying up, she saw a lot of Xu Qingyuan's paintings.

Xu Qingyuan's paintings are all light-toned oil paintings, most of them are landscape paintings, they look good, and the color matching is very gentle.

It can be seen that he is a person with painting skills, but those are only his paintings before he was 12 years old.

Xu Qingyuan likes to leave the date in the place of the title of each picture book, and then number them for induction.

There is not a single painting in his studio after he was 12 years old.

Yan Xiao felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. After tidying up, he went to the piano room to tidy up.

There is an expensive piano in the piano room, Yan Xiao knows that brand, it is a very expensive foreign brand.

It can be seen that Xu Qingying is very popular in this family, it is a bit ridiculous to say it, she has been in Xu's house for almost a week, and she can hear Xu Qingying practicing the piano every day, but she has never seen each other.

Yan Xiao was about to clean the piano, but heard an arrogant voice, "Don't touch my piano! If you break it, you deserve it! Country people don't have any knowledge! Who told you to come to my piano room?"

It was Xu Qingying who spoke. At this time, Xu Qingying was only 7 years old, a lot shorter than Yan Xiao, but she spoke very meanly.

Her eyes were full of disdain for Yan Xiao, and she came over and kicked Yan Xiao's leg and said, "Get out! Don't dirty my piano!"

She was wearing leather shoes, and she kicked Yan Xiao's calf bone, which was very painful.

She frowned and glanced at Xu Qingying.

Xu Qingying became even more annoyed, looked up at Yan Xiao, and cursed angrily, "Why are you staring at me? I'm the second lady of the Xu family, please be polite to me!"

Yuan Lan probably heard the voice and went upstairs to check the situation. As soon as Xu Qingying heard Yuan Lan's voice, she immediately changed her face and began to cry, "Mom, this person bullied me, woo woo woo..."

She changed her face very quickly, tears came as soon as she said it, she was not at all like the arrogant child just now.

Seeing that Xu Qingying was crying, Yuan Lan immediately reprimanded Yan Xiao, "What do you mean by Yan Xiao? What are you bullying Yingying for? I left you at Xu's house for you to eat and drink, but you bullied my daughter, you are too Too much!"

"I didn't... slap..."

Yuan Lan slapped Yan Xiao's face heavily, and she cursed, "You're still sophistry!"

Yan Xiao only felt that his cheeks were hot, his ears were also rumbling, and his mouth began to taste blood.

She swallowed the bloody smell in her stomach, and looked at Xu Qingying expressionlessly.

Xu Qingying was looking at her provocatively, with bursts of pleasure in her eyes.

Yuan Lan reprimanded Yan Xiao a few more words, and asked her to go back to the room and face the wall to think about it.

That day, Yan Xiao didn't eat a bite of food.
