Chapter 46, Stairs
After hearing what Yan Wenxiu said, Daohua paused and was silent for a while. Then she said, "Brother, I don't want to see Mom and Dad quarreling, but since this thing was specially given to me by my uncle, if I take the initiative to refuse it now, will I be letting down my uncle's love and care?"
"Also, Mother did this to protect me. If I stand up and say no now, wouldn't that be considered a betrayal of Mother's sincere heart and deep affection?"
"This..." Yan Wenxiu was stunned. He only wanted his parents not to have any grudges against each other, and did not think much about other things. After hearing Daohua's words, he felt that there was some truth in it, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that his eloquent elder brother was left speechless by his elder sister, Yan Wenkai immediately looked at Daohua with starry eyes.
The elder sister is awesome!
Don't be fooled by his eldest brother's gentle appearance. He has a lot of theories in his mouth. His brothers and sisters have never gotten the upper hand in front of him with words.
Just like he doesn't like reading, he is often said to doubt his life, feeling that if he doesn't study hard, he will be unworthy of his life.
Although the eldest brother meant well, he was very tired of being watched all the time.
Now that he saw his older sister talking about his older brother, he really wanted to jump up and clap his hands.
Unfortunately, before he could be excited for long, Yan Wenkai was glared at by Yan Wenxiu and immediately became timid.
Yan Wenxiu looked at Daohua again and said, "Sister, it's just a few pieces of fabric. It's not as serious as you say. I don't think you want your parents to be unhappy over such a small matter, right?"
These words made Daohua feel a little uncomfortable.
She actually didn't care much about the material she gave away. For her, as long as the clothes were comfortable, it was fine. But she cared about her uncle's intentions and Mrs. Li's attention to her.
Besides, her adoptive father distributed the New Year gifts sent by the Li family without even asking her mother. Wasn’t that a disrespect to his wife?
If she stood up and said she didn't want the material, she could calm the situation, but this would require her to slap Mrs. Li in the face.
Seeing that Daohua was silent, Yan Wenxiu frowned, glanced at the main courtyard gate, and saw a figure approaching. He was worried that things would get out of hand.
Now, the only problem is that Yan Zhigao and his wife have a little conflict. As the saying goes, husband and wife fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot of the bed. As long as the matter does not leave the main courtyard and the door is closed, any solution is fine.
But if people from other hospitals get involved, things will become troublesome.
His father has always been very concerned about his reputation. Once he feels embarrassed in front of his family, his mother's life will be difficult.
Yan Wenxiu spoke again: "Big sister, it's almost the end of the year. This is your first time celebrating the New Year with everyone. You don't want to make everyone unhappy, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Daohua immediately raised her head and snorted coldly, "Brother, what you said is so unreasonable. How come I am the one who made everyone unhappy? Please explain the reason, brother. I am all ears."
Seeing that his brother and sister were blushing, Yan Wenkai immediately interrupted, "Well, big brother, I think our parents' affairs are under the supervision of our grandmother. As children, we shouldn't get involved, right?"
Having said that, without waiting for Yan Wenxiu to look over, he turned to look at Daohua and said, "Big sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the eldest brother is like a father. Watch your attitude when you speak." After saying that, he winked at Daohua, asking her to apologize to Yan Wenxiu.
When Daohua saw this, she curled her lips and turned her head away.
Yan Wenkai looked at his sister who was unwilling to apologize, then looked at his elder brother who seemed to be angry, and felt a headache.
what to do?
He doesn't dare to mess with his brother, and he can't handle his sister. He feels so uncomfortable being caught in the middle!
At this time, the first group of people entered the main courtyard.
It was Wu who came, holding a piece of brocade in her hand.
Mrs. Wu glanced at the three Daohua siblings and quickly walked into the main room.
"Brother, I'm here to thank you. I've never seen such beautiful brocade before. Thank you for broadening my horizons. However, I have to return this brocade to you."
"Don't be impatient, brother. Just listen to me."
"Marrying into the Yan family is the greatest blessing in my life. My family is poor, but my eldest brother and his wife have never looked down on me and always think of me. I am very grateful."
"But, we know our own business. I'm used to doing rough work, so clothes made of this material really don't suit me. Fortunately, I've come to the county town with my mother and the head of the family. I don't have to do anything on a daily basis, so I can take good care of myself. I think I'll be able to wear clothes like this in the future."
"But I heard that such new materials cannot be kept, because if they are kept, they will become outdated. So I thought, why not use them to make clothes for Daohua first? When I have better ones in the future, even if my sister-in-law doesn't give them to me, I will come to ask for them with a flattering face."
Every word Wu said was heard by the three Daohua siblings standing at the door.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"I didn't expect that Third Aunt, who usually doesn't like to talk, could be so talkative."
Yan Wenkai was full of emotion, and so was Yan Wenxiu.
Hearing what he said, he actually took his father's face into consideration and expressed the third wife's gratitude to the first wife.
His father and mother must be very touched now, right?
Daohua glanced at the two of them and said, "Don't underestimate people, okay? Uncle and Auntie are just not very tactful. They are the kindest people in their hearts."
At this time, people from the second house came.
Sun brought Yan Yihan and Yan Yile into the main courtyard. Seeing Daohua and the other two standing outside the door, she asked Yihan and Yile to stay outside and went into the main room with two pieces of brocade.
"snort!"
Yan Yile snorted coldly at Daohua with a bad look on his face.
She really liked the two pieces of cloth that her uncle gave them. If she made clothes out of them, who knows how they would envy her.
But now, because of her elder sister, her clothes were ruined.
At this moment, Daohua's attention was all on the room, and she just glanced at Yan Yile's cold snort.
The moment Yan Yihan spoke, she immediately glared at her warningly.
Afterwards, although Yan Yile's nose was still not a nose and her eyes were not eyes, she did not make any sound.
Inside the room, Sun spoke even more beautifully.
"Brother, I love this material so much that I'm going to cut it into clothes as soon as I get it, but my children Yihuan and Yile don't want to do it."
"Why do you think so?"
"It's not that they don't like it, but they feel that Daohua has been in the county for so long, and they haven't given any gifts to Big Sister yet. So they were thinking about borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, and using this material to make two sets of clothes and give them to Daohua as gifts?"
"When I heard that, I immediately agreed with both hands. So, I came to see my sister-in-law with the material. We originally wanted to make it ourselves, but my sister-in-law's taste is beyond my reach. So, I have to trouble my sister-in-law with the material. I have to dress up our rice flower beautifully."
"Yihuan and Yile are very sensible." This was Yan Zhigao's voice.
Outside the house, Daohua, Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wenkai listened to what was said in the house and looked at Yan Yihan and Yan Yile.
Yan Yihan also heard the exaggeration of her uncle in the room. She lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks and ears a little red.
When Yan Yile heard herself being praised, she immediately raised her head proudly and glanced at the rice flowers with an arrogant look.
With the help of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Sun, the atmosphere in the main room between Yan Zhigao and his wife became much better.
Just when everyone thought the matter would end like this, Aunt Lin came over with Yan Yishuang.
