After beating Sun Xiaohui, Liu Xinghua rolled up her sleeves, pointed at her and cursed: "You filthy, rotten-hearted woman, you even want to harm your own niece! You want to kill her, right? I will fight you to death today!"
She slapped Sun Xiaohui hard, and the slap stunned her. Then she didn't give Sun Xiaohui time to recover from her daze, raised her hand and pulled off the hat on Sun Xiaohui's head, and hit her again. It took
a while for the people around to react, and they all rushed to pull Liu Xinghua.
Several people pulled Liu Xinghua and Sun Xiaohui apart. Ruan Xi came over and held Liu Xinghua's arm. She put her other hand on her back to soothe her breath and said to her, "Grandma, anger is harmful to your health. Don't be so angry."
Liu Xinghua rushed over after hearing the news. She had just used all her strength to beat Sun Xiaohui. Now she was gasping for breath. She took a breath for a while before saying, "She is deliberately trying to hurt you. How can I not be angry?!" After
taking two breaths, she said, "Now she's done, I've let out my anger."
Ruan Xi continued to soothe Liu Xinghua's back and soothe her breath. Seeing that she had let out her anger, she didn't say anything else.
She turned around and looked at Sun Xiaohui. She saw that Sun Xiaohui's hair was all messed up by Liu Xinghua and there were several bruises on her face.
After Sun Xiaohui reacted, she was held back and unable to move. She simply sat on the ground and started crying.
She cried that she was doing it for justice and to correct the evil tendencies. She was selfless and had no intention to harm others. She would never harm her own niece.
She said that she really didn't know that the old tailor took Ruan Xi as his apprentice. She said that the old tailor was such and such a person. Who would have thought that he would seriously teach Ruan Xi a craft? She also said that she never thought that the old tailor would give Ruan Xi grapes.
People saw that she was crying so pitifully, and it didn't sound like she was deliberately framing Ruan Xi. Someone said to Secretary Wang and Liu Xinghua: "You have been beaten like this and scolded. Let it go."
Secretary Wang really didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. Now it has become a purely family matter. He waved his hand and told everyone to go back to work. The women who were watching dispersed and walked away. Two of them pulled Sun Xiaohui along.
Sun Xiaohui stood up, sniffed, and tidied her hair. She took the straw hat the woman handed over and put it on without looking at Liu Xinghua and Ruan Xi. Her eyes and nose were red from crying, and she went into the cornfield with a wronged look.
Secretary Wang advised Liu Xinghua again, saying that family matters should be resolved at home, so as not to make a scene outside and make people laugh. After that, he and several cadres around him went to find the old tailor, but the old tailor had disappeared.
Secretary Wang then said to Liu Xinghua, "Auntie, we'll leave now. Master Song is old, and it's not easy for him to come up the mountain. Someone must watch him go down the mountain. We have to hurry up and catch up."
The old tailor was older than her, so Liu Xinghua understood. She knew how much effort it took him to come up like this, so she nodded quickly and said, "Go quickly, thank you."
Ruan Xi saw that Liu Xinghua was almost at ease, and she was also thinking about the old tailor, so she handed Liu Xinghua to Ruan Jie and said to Liu Xinghua, "Grandma, you and Xiao Jie go home first. I'll go with you to see my master."
Liu Xinghua knew that the old tailor was doing Ruan Xi a favor by coming up this way. He has always been cold-hearted and didn't care about other people's lives. Because of his strange personality, he didn't like to socialize with others. This time was really unprecedented.
She patted Ruan Xi's arm and said, "Hurry up."
The farmland was not far from her home. She and Ruan Jie could reach home in a few steps. There was no need for Ruan Xi to stay with them.
Ruan Jie turned around with her schoolbag on her back to chase the old tailor. When she caught up with him, Secretary Wang and another cadre were already supporting him. She didn't say anything and followed them to Jinguan Village silently.
Secretary Wang and several others sent the old tailor home safely, said goodbye and left.
Not long after leaving the hospital gate, one of the cadres said, "What a big deal!"
The old tailor was so tired from this trip that he lay on the rocking chair under the grape trellis without moving.
Ruan Xi moved a small stool and sat down in front of him, looking at him and said, "Master, thank you." He
walked so many mountain roads for her and went through so much trouble.
The old tailor didn't respond to this, but said, "I am too tired from all the hard work today. I don't have time to teach you. You can go back first."
Ruan Xi stood up, took off her schoolbag and put it on the small stool behind her, "You can rest at ease. I won't learn the craft from you today. I will stay and help you with the work."
The old tailor was not polite, "It's up to you."
After all this trouble, it was almost noon.
Ruan Xi cleaned up the house and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and started to make lunch.
It was still rice and two dishes, which made the old tailor very satisfied.
After lunch, she was not idle either, and went to help the old tailor tidy up his private plot. She randomly found an old dress to wear to work, pulled out the weeds in the field, and pinched her nose to fertilize the fruits and vegetables in the field. She almost died after fertilizing.
After finishing these things, the sun was setting.
Ruan Xi was so tired that her waist and arms ached, so she didn't stay at the old tailor's house any longer. She took off the old clothes she used for work, washed her hands and face with soap, said goodbye to the old tailor and went home. She
walked slowly on the road, and then saw Ling Yao grazing pigs on the hillside.
The bad mood of the day suddenly dissipated a lot when she saw the boy on the hillside. She felt that it was good to be like Ling Yao, living in his own little world, and the outside world would never have anything to do with him.
She walked on the grass on the hillside, walked to Ling Yao, and greeted him with a nickname: "Yaoyao?"
Ling Yao raised his head when he heard the voice, squinted his eyes because of the sunlight, and smiled at her from the bottom of his heart.
Ruan Xi felt very healed when she saw his smiling face, and her mood became more relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and sat down beside him, looked at the piece of wood in his hand, and asked him with a smile: "Why don't you read today?"
Ling Yao said softly: "It's not that I read every day."
He held a knife and a piece of wood in his hand, and he was carving wood today.
Ruan Xi asked again, "What are you carving?"
Ling Yao raised his lips slightly, "I'll show you when it's done."
Then Ruan Xi sat next to him and watched him concentrate on carving the wood with a knife. Watching a piece of wood with an indescribable shape turn into a small double-winged airplane in his hands.
After carving the last cut, Ling Yao handed the model to Ruan Xi and said to her, "Airplane."
Ruan Xi took the airplane with a smile and looked at it from top to bottom for a while, "You can actually do this, you are really amazing..." After thinking for a while, she continued, "I have never seen an airplane in my life."
Ling Yao said, "Not amazing, I'm just carving for fun."
Ruan Xi looked at the plane in her hand again, "Can you give it to me?"
Ling Yao nodded directly, "Okay, I'll carve it for you if you want something."
Ruan Xi held the plane in her hand and looked at the sky for a while, then looked at Ling Yao, "Pig, I'm a pig."
Ling Yao nodded again and replied, "Okay."
Ruan Xi felt very relaxed when she was with Ling Yao, so she sat with him until the evening. When Ling Yao watched the sun set and drove the pig home, she got up and went back to her own home with her schoolbag.
This night, the Ruan family was destined to be uneasy.
At noon, someone from the production team cooked a big pot of rice and sent lunch to the copper mine. Ruan Zhigao, Ruan Changgui and Ruan Changsheng did not come back at noon, but they also heard about what happened during the day from others.
When they got home from work in the evening, the three men were so angry that one spit could start a war. The only one who was angry was Ruan Changsheng.
However, Ruan Zhigao didn't want to make fun of him anymore. He also knew that Sun Xiaohui had been taught a lesson by Liu Xinghua and was severely beaten, so he didn't allow Ruan Changsheng to cause trouble for Sun Xiaohui again.
Ruan Changgui was more worried than ever. He called Sun Xiaohui into the room, frowned and asked her, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you last night not to care about it? Why did you go and expose it?!"
Sun Xiaohui was apologizing, her head almost buried in her chest.
She hesitantly said, "Me too... I also can't stand people who do things secretly..."
Ruan Changgui was so angry that he slapped the camphor wood box beside him, "Are you satisfied now? Xiaoxi didn't steal it. The old tailor gave it to her personally. The old tailor not only treated her as an apprentice, but also came out to support her. You stole the limelight today, and made the whole team laugh at you. I don't know what people will talk about us behind our backs. Are you satisfied?"
Thinking of the scenes that happened in the cornfield today, Sun Xiaohui was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak.
Ruan Changgui didn't care about the wound on her face, frowned and continued: "Before, we just lived separately, it was nothing. Now that you've made such a fuss, it's considered a break. How are you going to deal with my parents and Changsheng Xiaoxi in the future?"
Sun Xiaohui lowered her head and muttered: "What's the good of it..."
Ruan Changgui slapped the box again in anger, "What do you think? How could I be so confused and believe your lies and split the family? You said Xiao Wuzi and Xiao Xi are both spendthrifts, but now look at Xiao Wuzi, who works harder than us on the construction site. Niu Yizi's strength is like free, he works hard and earns a lot of work points. Look at Xiao Xi, the old tailor not only taught her the craft but also stood up for her and supported her. She is the next tailor of Fengming Mountain! "
Everyone knows what the next tailor means, it is something that makes people jealous!
Sun Xiaohui didn't think so. She looked up at Ruan Changgui and said, "Xiao Wuzi works so hard to find a wife for himself. If we don't divide the family, we won't get any benefits. Xiaoxi can't even sew well. She was not born to be a tailor. Even if she can coax the old tailor to teach her patiently, she will definitely not be able to learn."
Ruan Changgui looked at Sun Xiaohui and felt that what she said was unreasonable, but also felt that she was right.
He took a deep breath, and immediately lost his temper and stopped talking.
Sun Xiaohui went over to rub his shoulders and said docilely, "I didn't understand it this time. I made a mistake. I've learned my lesson. I'll definitely listen to you in the future."
Ruan Changgui snorted, "You'd better remember this lesson, otherwise I won't care if you get beaten to death!"
