"You are not wrong, they are wrong. Why do you want to say sorry? If it is about the heir, it is even more needless to say. People say that raising a son is a way to prepare for old age, but I don't think so."
"If a son is filial, then he is preparing for old age. But what if a son is not filial? That is not preparing for old age, that is like giving birth to an enemy, right?"
"It's the same for daughters. If sons and daughters are filial, they can also take care of themselves in old age. On the contrary, if daughters are not filial, can they get married?"
When Zhang Chunhua heard Zhou Ershan say this, she burst into laughter.
Jian Xiu stood there behind him, listening to Zhou Ershan's words, and silently retracted the foot that had been stretched out.
I didn't expect Zhou Ershan to say something like this.
It's really surprising.
Looking at Zhou Ershan again, he didn’t seem so angry anymore.
"Madam, what are you laughing at?" Xiaoqing turned her head to look at Jian Xiu and asked curiously.
After getting used to getting along with Jian Xiu in the past few days, Xiao Qing also gradually understood some of Jian Xiu's personality.
At that time, she loved to laugh even though she loved to laugh during the day.
But she never scolded them, the servants.
On the contrary, she sincerely encouraged them to speak their minds and gave them enough freedom.
Here, you can freely choose what you want to do, just like staying at home.
As long as they did what they were supposed to do, even if it was just going out to play or playing with a few people, she would say something.
Since she was a child, everyone has said that she is lucky, and now she really believes it.
Because she could find such a good family.
"Are you laughing?" Jian Xiu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, ma'am, you did smile just now!"
"You're seeing things!" Jian Xiu said calmly.
When she said this, she didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"Go and call them in! Eldest sister is still in Xiaoyue and she shouldn't be exposed to the wind for too long!" Jian Xiu whispered.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"mother......"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Feilan's small figure running towards him from the study.
"Wow, Feilan's headdress is so beautiful today!" Jian Xiu said with a smile.
By the time she realized it, she had already regarded the little man in her arms as more important than her own life.
"My cousin helped me with this. When I looked in the bronze mirror this morning, I thought it looked really good!"
At this time, Zhou Shuya also walked out of the study.
When he saw Jian Xiu, he obediently called out to her, "Fourth Aunt!"
"Well, are you used to living here, Shuya?"
"Habits are habits, but... I am a little too idle." Zhou Shuya said softly with her head down.
"Mom, my cousin said she wanted to find something to do. She felt bored with nothing to do." Zhang Feilan said in a smart way.
"Does Shuya want to learn to read?" Jian Xiu looked at Zhou Shuya and asked softly.
"Can...can read?" Zhou Shuya pointed at herself and asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, literacy."
"Is that right?"
When asking this question, Zhou Shuya's eyes were already red.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu didn't say either so or so.
He just walked forward and gently held the hair in his arms.
She felt sorry for the little girl in front of her. In the apocalypse, little girls her age were still in junior high school.
When she gets home, she will act like a spoiled child to her parents.
And what about her?
Not only did she suffer severe beatings every few days, she also had to take care of all the housework.
She was just a little girl, why should she bear so much?
Looking at her withered and yellow hair and her skinny body that was starving, Jian Xiu felt as if she was being pricked by a needle.
"Shuya is a good child, of course! Okay, you've started crying. If you cry again, you'll be in trouble. Shuya is so pretty, and if she cries, she'll look like a big cat."
"Fourth aunt, you are making fun of me." Zhou Shuya lowered her head and said shyly.
Jian Xiu didn't say anything, but just stroked Zhou Shuya's head with her hand, then took her hand and went back to the study again.
"Fei Xuan and Fei Yi are studying in the county. They will go back at night. Tomorrow, your aunt will send you there, okay? They will stay there at night, and you can study there, okay?"
Hearing this, Zhou Shuya tried her best to hold back her tears.
But even so, one could still hear the tremor in her voice.
That was the trembling that only occurred when one was trying hard to hold back the urge to cry.
After a long time, Zhou Shuya choked up and said, "Fourth Aunt, in that case, can I work now?"
"Silly boy, what kind of work can be done for you at your fourth aunt's house? Besides, Xiaohong and the others will go back tomorrow. If you really have nothing to do, you can learn cooking from Xiaohong and the others, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Shuya, whose eyes were originally red, could no longer hold back and threw herself into Jian Xiu's arms and started crying.
“Wuwuwu…”
She was only three years old, so she naturally knew that her fourth aunt said this to make her feel better.
Growing up, she had never felt such love except from her biological mother.
Many times, she felt that she could hold on, but thinking of her mother, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
She was afraid and worried. If she left like this, what would happen to her mother?
Would old Mrs. Fang beat her even harder?
Sometimes she hated herself for being a man.
If she were a man, her mother wouldn't have to suffer so much.
So, during the day, she tried to do as much work as possible.
She wanted to tell Mrs. Fang that she knew that although she was a girl, she could do what a man could do.
What about now?
My aunt said that she could learn to read, she could work, and she could have her own freedom...
She felt the feeling of being cared for...
I also felt the unprecedented happiness...
Seeing Zhou Shuya like this, Jian Xiu did not comfort her but hugged her tightly.
"Cry, if you want to cry, just cry it out, it's okay." Jian Xiu said softly.
After a long time, Zhou Shuya finally released herself from Jian Xiu's arms, looked up at Jian Xiu, and asked cautiously:
"Fourth aunt, is it really useless?"
"You, Shuya, are very brave. You can ask your aunt this question, which means you already have the answer in your heart, right? You are very courageous because you dare to face this bravely."
"A person's life can be long or short, but in the end, it's just a few decades, so why don't we make our lives more exciting?"
