When Mr. Thornton approached, he realized that the necklace on the girl's neck was a gift from him on Christmas a few months ago, which made him feel very good.

Moreover, most of the workers he transferred from Ireland will arrive tonight, which makes him look confident when talking with Mr. Bell, and makes people feel relieved unconsciously.

After a brief conversation, Thornton left Mr. Bell and walked up to Su Li, and held out his hand——

Su Li laughed and put her hand in his: "Good evening, Mr. Thornton."

"The necklace is very beautiful." Thornton couldn't let his eyes leave Su Li's body, he even held Su Li's hand in disrespect.The girl's skirt is not revealing, but under the embellishment of the slender necklace, the delicate collarbone and elegant neck line become alluring!

He really wanted to put his lips and tongue on the girl's neck instead of the necklace that was obviously given by him but was now an eyesore!

Su Li gently stroked the necklace with her other free hand, and frowned pretending to be angry: "Only the necklace is beautiful?!"

"Ai'er!" Margaret was on the side, and when she heard these flirtatious words, she interrupted Su Li's words at the right time!

Although, this timing is very inappropriate for Mr. Thornton...

What is annoying is that there is a person who is even less able to read people's faces, and has the attitude of wanting to talk to Thornton about important matters.

Su Li looked at Mr. Thornton who walked to the window frowning, then turned to look at Margaret and smiled: "Don't worry, Margot, I know exactly what I'm doing."

"Mr. Thornton is not a good match!" Margaret's expression could already be called serious!As an elder sister, she has a say in her younger sister's marriage!

The corners of Su Li's lips curled up when she heard this, and she couldn't stop laughing. She looked at Margaret and asked without any malice: "Mr. Lennox is a good match, but why are you reject him?"

"That's, that's because—" Margaret opened her mouth to explain, but was stopped by Su Li.

"Look! I thought Mr. Nolenkes was a good match for you, but you refused his marriage proposal. Although he was indeed a little rash at the time. And now, you think Mr. Thornton is not a good match for me. Neither of us can persuade No one else, so, Marge, my good sister—" Su Li looked at Margaret and sincerely made her request: "We don't interfere with anyone else."

There was something more Margaret wanted to say: "El—"

"Marge!" Su Li slightly increased her volume, looking at Margaret, who was slightly taller than herself, her beautiful and delicate face was full of determination: "We have only known the Thornton family for half a year, and everything is in order. It's too early. I don't ask you to agree with my ideas and support my decision. I just ask for mutual non-interference, isn't this request reasonable?" At the end of the speech, she realized that her tone might be a bit unkind , and added a playful sentence: "Otherwise, if you say that Mr. Thornton and I are not suitable, I will say that Mr. Nolenks and you are very suitable!"

The last sentence made Margaret laugh, and she shook her head amusedly, without saying anything more.

After the sky was completely dark, the group sat down at the long bright table illuminated by a row of candles, and Mr. Thornton sat at the front seat.This position made his already too determined and capable face even more airy, like an emperor!

So handsome!

When Su Li looked up at him, he happened to be admiring Su Li, and the two looked at each other with a smile, and they both lowered their heads and took a sip of the soup——

Did the cook put sugar in the soup for today's dinner?

At the dining table, several men talked about the strike again. Su Li didn't have much interest, so she just lowered her head and ate seriously.It was Margaret who made some remarks that were not very pleasing to women of this era.But Su Li felt that her speech was rational enough!Given her dislike of businessmen, her speech was almost peaceful.

Thornton didn't hold back from looking at Su Li again and again when he was talking, and the turning bad atmosphere at the dinner table didn't affect him at all.Well, he didn't actually listen carefully to those remarks that were said a dozen times...

Under the warm candlelight, the girl's face was radiating holy light, soft and bright, making him want to hold her tightly in his palm.

It's just that the two of them didn't have much chance to talk during the whole dinner, let alone Su Li went home with her family after the dinner.And Thornton is going to arrange for the Irish to be sent over at night. These people cannot come in during the day, because they will attract attention and be hurt!

But the matter was not concealed for long before it was discovered, and a worker told the story to other strikers. On a certain day, the Marlborough factory and Thornton's house were surrounded by angry strikers.

Sully and Margaret, who went to borrow a water bed because Mrs. Hale's condition worsened, were trapped in it together.

The voices of the workers are deafening and uncomfortable!Fanny, who originally regarded this as a topic of conversation, fainted because of the huge panic!Su Li had no choice but to send her back to the room with Mrs. Thornton. When she came out again, Mr. Thornton had already opened the door and went out to confront the strikers!

And Margaret!Her dear sister followed suit!

Mr. Thornton wanted her to come in, but Margaret stubbornly refused.Persistence is a very good word, but persistence becomes stubborn, and at this time, it becomes extremely unpleasant!

At this moment, someone from the striking crowd below suddenly threw a stone up. Su Li quickly pulled Margaret away, but the stone still scratched a little bit of skin on Margaret's face.

The excited workers suddenly fell silent...

In the UK, at least on the bright side, shooting at a woman is an extremely disgraceful and despised behavior!

This brought the strike movement to an end, and the workers returned to their jobs again.

And Margaret was held and taught by Su Li for a whole hour!In fact, this lady who doesn't have much courage was actually frightened at the beginning!She almost fainted!But the scare disappeared invisible under Su Li's chatter.Seeing Su Li who was educating her pretending to be an adult, everyone sitting in the living room couldn't hold back their smiles.

Mrs. Thornton sent someone to escort Su Li and Margaret home, so when Thornton finished dealing with the matter, he came home to meet Fanny with an exaggerated expression of complaint and Thorn with a serious face but a little relieved. Mrs. Ton...

Without Su Li, without that little girl.

"Miss Alberta came home?" He was a little unbelievable, and he could even call his mother a real question: "You just let her go home like this! Things outside have not subsided!"

"If I remember correctly, it was her sister, Miss Margaret Hale, who was injured." Mrs. Thornton looked at her soon-to-be-lost son, with a slightly mean mouth: "There is Miss Hale. With this self-important person, your emotional path will definitely not be smooth, John."

Thornton frowned and looked at Mrs. Thornton, turned around and walked out of the living room and down the stairs. Not long after, Mrs. Thornton saw him riding out from the window.

With a daughter-in-law, forget your mother!Although Mrs. Thornton did not know this proverb from the East, she undoubtedly felt it in her heart!Sore and sore!But you can't say anything against it!All she wanted in her life was for her son and daughter to live in peace and happiness.

His son had found his own happiness, so why should she object?

Su Li, Margaret and Dr. Donaldson took the carriage back to Hale House, and she asked Dr. Donaldson to go upstairs to see Mrs. Hale.Seeing his solemn and regretful expression, tears welled up in her eyes instantly!

Mrs. Hale is a weak and ordinary woman, but Su Li likes this gentle mother very much!She doesn't want to lose her!But if a person is unwilling to get better from the bottom of his heart, no amount of good medicine will have any effect!

She sent Dr. Donaldson to the door, helped Margaret back to the room, changed the blood-stained skirt on her body, and secretly washed it.Finally, she chatted with Mrs. Hale for a while about Frederick, her brother who had been confined to Spain because of the mutiny.

It wasn't until Mrs. Hale fell asleep again in a state of exhaustion that she went to Mr. Hale's study and picked up a book and read it absent-mindedly.

She found that she really couldn't like Milton!This poor place is about to make her lose her own family!

So, after knocking on the door, Thornton got an answer, and what he saw was Su Li, whose eyes were a little red and her nose was red, which made people want to love her.

He immediately changed his face in panic, held the girl's shoulders and pushed her into the house regardless of etiquette. After closing the door, he asked with concern and anxiety: "Alberta? What's wrong? Are you injured?"

"No, it's not..." Su Li sniffed and shook her head: "I didn't suffer any physical injuries." She looked up at Thornton who was looking at her with concern, not knowing why her nose became sore again.She pursed her lips, and acted coquettishly with a crying voice: "I don't like Milton! I want to go back to Helstone!"

Hearing this, Mr. Thornton's hand holding Su Li's shoulder dropped feebly. These words made him feel extremely uncomfortable!The girl he likes doesn't like Milton!Even want to go back to the South!

"Yes, what happened?"

"The air in Milton is bad, the workers are grumpy, people are talking about making money and business all day long, and there are roaring machines that seem to never stop!" Su Li said a lot of Milton's shortcomings without thinking. , and then said a sweet word in the man's increasingly stiff expression: "Although Milton has you, I still don't like Milton!"

Thornton wanted to make himself more promising, but failed!Because of the little girl's last words, he couldn't hold back, and smiled happily!This smile is even a little silly!

The author has something to say:

I don't like Margaret's performance in the second episode, especially the way Mary Sue looks.However, this novel was originally written a hundred years ago, so it is normal for the plot to be old-fashioned!The plot of the beauty saving the hero or the hero saving the beauty will not disappear in hundreds of years!After all, baby scumbag likes to write hhhhhh
