Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

"Aunt, I want to ask about Zhuang Qi. Didn't you say you wanted to talk to Zhuang Qi last time..."

He Xiaoyu deliberately chose to visit Pang's house when Qin Hao asked Pang Xue out.

After all, what she was going to say to Zhuang Ying was not suitable for her good cousin Pang Xue to listen to.

Zhuang Ying didn't expect that He Xiaoyu would come in such a big way under the clear sky and white sun.

Not avoiding people at all.

The first thing he said when he knocked on the door was like asking if she could help.

In an instant, the smile on Zhuang Ying's face that was used to greet guests because she didn't know who was knocking on the door suddenly froze on her face. She pulled the corner of her mouth and barely maintained a smile to welcome He Xiaoyu into the house.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here all of a sudden? Come in and talk, you said you're here just in time for me to go out for something..."

How could He Xiaoyu not tell that she was driving away a guest?

Not annoyed either.

Still smiling as if he didn't understand the words, he said: "That's good, I'm in a hurry to go back to the countryside. If you have any questions, let's talk while we walk."

As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Ying could no longer hold on to the last smile on her face.

With He Xiaoyu's current reputation, there are still old neighbors near her house who know the bad things about the He family. If she walks side by side with He Xiaoyu today, tomorrow there will be a lot of good people coming to ask her if He Xiaoyu is... I really live with a country man.

The key point is that the country man in the rumor is still her eldest daughter's partner. What should she say?

If you can't explain it clearly, you can easily get into trouble.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Ying was not thin-skinned anyway, so she didn’t even need to draft her retorts——

"Xiaoyu, although my aunt has something to do, it's rare for you to come to my aunt's house after all. No matter how big your problem is with my aunt, you can postpone it."

"Did you come here without eating at this time? Just wait, aunt will order some noodles for you."

He Xiaoyu happily accepted Zhuang Ying's 'kindness'.

After finishing two bowls of noodle soup in a row, she put down her chopsticks and got down to business: "Auntie, can you give me the job you promised me before?"

"Ah?" Zhuang Ying was caught off guard by the question, "No, Xiaoyu, didn't you just ask me if I had gone to Zhuang Qi..."

He Xiaoyu seemed to be reminded of this incident by her, and immediately nodded and asked: "Did Auntie go to Zhuang Qi?"

"Did you ask Zhuang Qi why she treated me like this? Did you slap her on the face and ask her if she was worthy of my mother or sister?"

A series of questioning made Zhuang Ying look embarrassed.

"Xiaoyu, aunt knows that you are anxious, but now that things have come to this, no matter how anxious you are... you can't solve the problem, right?"

"To be honest, my aunt told you last time that she went to find Zhuang Qi when she came back. But you should know the character of my second sister best. I can't make sense with her at all."

He Xiaoyu lowered his head and said in a very soft voice, "So?"

Zhuang Ying was stunned for a moment: "What's the reason?"

He Xiaoyu chuckled, so softly that Zhuang Ying almost thought she heard wrongly.

"Aunt, just because you can't make sense with my stepmother...that's why you stopped talking?"

"This is a major event of my life. I don't know if you asked about it again after you came back. I asked someone to ask about it."

"Auntie, do you know that just because my reputation has become like this, even my second wife is not willing to marry me now."

"I couldn't sit still and had no choice, so I came here to find my aunt. After all, my aunt should know best why I am in the country."

"I originally thought that my aunt would protect me no matter what she said. But look at what I heard. She just stopped talking to my stepmother because she couldn't make sense... ha."

Being pointed at and questioned by her niece, Zhuang Ying felt a little worried: "Xiaoyu, don't think so extreme. That's not what I said. My aunt has gone to stand up for you, so I won't just let you go."

"But now that you have such a reputation, you also know what kind of virtue your stepmother is. If she has a solution to the problem, she doesn't need you to come all the way to ask her."

"I went to the countryside early to tell you that there is really no way out. Your uncle also said that the most taboo thing at this time is for you to come back and fight with your stepmother."

"It's like an arm wrestling match. Now Zhuang Qi is overwhelming you. If you have to compete with her, losing won't be the worst. What I'm afraid of is that if you don't try hard enough to 'break' your bones, the gain will outweigh the loss." .”

"Your uncle and I thought that instead of doing this, we might as well let Zhuang Qi give him a hand. You can save your energy and wait until next time when we take the initiative and gain the upper hand, we can retaliate to Zhuang Qi."

It sounds pretty much like that.

It sounds like he is thinking about her.

But in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence - this time she, Zhuang Ying, couldn't save her, couldn't control her, and didn't want to.

He Xiaoyu lowered his head, his eyes as gloomy as if they were tempered with ice.

She suddenly asked Zhuang Ying a question that had nothing to do with what they were talking about at the moment——

"Auntie, if cousin Xiaoxue experienced something like this, would you and your uncle comfort her like this?"

Will you stand here and talk without back pain and say there is nothing you can do?

Would he also say so many high-sounding words and give that ridiculous arm-wrestling example so that Pang Xue would be able to "stop" in spite of the difficulty?

Zhuang Ying's pupils shrank sharply.

For a long time, no more words came out of that eloquent mouth.

He Xiaoyu raised her head and looked directly at Zhuang Ying with red eyes: "No, right? In fact, I know the answer myself without you having to answer. If Pang Xue is splashed with dirty water and her reputation is tarnished, even if Pang Xue says forget it, you My uncle and I will definitely pursue it to the end."

"And the reason why I'm so 'helpless' now is just because I don't have a biological mother. No one is willing to stand up for me at any cost, and no one really wants to protect me."

"Even..." She raised the corners of her lips, "Even if I got into this man-made disaster because I was helping my aunt, that little bit of guilt still won't make you help me clear my name regardless of the consequences. I fell out with Zhuang Qi...Auntie, am I right?"

Zhuang Ying looked very bad.

There was a faint cold sweat on his forehead as he sat there.

It was as if she was not talking to her niece now, but was undergoing a trial here.

A belated but arrived judgment of conscience.

Zhuang Ying: "I..."

Looking at He Xiaoyu who was questioning her with an angry expression, Zhuang Ying seemed to see the shadow of her eldest sister who died young in this young face.

My eldest sister has been gone for too many years.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the child left behind by the eldest sister has grown so big.

It had been so long that she couldn't even remember what her eldest sister looked like when she closed her eyes. She thought she had long forgotten the poor woman who had treated her well and spoiled her since she was a child.

But even she didn't expect that at this moment, through her niece's face, she could vaguely see her eldest sister's voice and appearance...it was so similar that she didn't dare to look at He Xiaoyu.

Cold sweat ran down her temples. Zhuang Ying suddenly thought of her eldest sister holding her hand before she died and telling her to help her arrange her work so that she would not have to look at her husband's face in the future. She also found a relationship with her husband Pang to work in the factory. road.

He talked a lot but never repaid his kindness until his death.

He just told her before closing her eyes that for the sake of her sisters, she should take more care of this niece who lost her mother when she had time in the future...

Her eldest sister is really a very good person.

But after so many years, the little girl has grown into a big girl, but she has not taken into account the instructions her eldest sister once gave her.

Like Zhuang Qi, she is probably a white-eyed wolf.

After all, it was because she lacked family affection.

Zhuang Ying took a deep breath: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, a third voice suddenly sounded in the room——

"Isn't it right that my mother treats you differently from my sister? You are not my mother's biological daughter, you are just a niece. Do you still hope that my mother will treat you like she treats my sister? No matter what happens, Will I risk my life for you?"

"He Xiaoyu, why didn't I know that you were such a shameless person? Didn't you know anything about it? You still have the nerve to force my mother to compare yourself with my sister. You are more closely related to me than my sister and my mother. , or can you take my sister’s place and provide for my mother until her death?”

"You can't even talk about fairness here. My mother can help you and she has done her best, okay?"
