Old Lady Xia said one sentence, and Xiao Hei Yu believed it to be true, so she didn't ask anymore. But Xia Zhi was not that easy to fool. Old Lady Xia asked her and Xiao Shu to stay for dinner, and while helping Old Lady Xia with cooking, she took the opportunity to ask when Xiao Hei Yu was not around.
She asked when May and July would be back.
Old Lady Xia didn't answer directly, but told Xia Zhi: "Your grandfather didn't expect your uncle to go to the river suite, nor did he expect the two sisters to follow. Sixteen, thanks to your thoughtful thinking... Your grandfather knows everything and understands everything, and won't let you suffer."
These words, Xia Zhi didn't quite understand. But Old Lady Xia refused to say any more.
After a while, Old Man Xia returned. When he entered the house, his face didn't look too good, but when he saw Xia Zhi, his expression softened.
"...let your mom cook two delicious dishes for you. In the evening, we'll wrap dumplings, no need to bring any for your second uncle's family."
After Xia Zhi left, something must have happened.
"Grandpa, you sent Bao back home, and neither Bao nor his maternal relatives said anything?"
"No, what can I say?" Old Xia shook his head.
"Grandpa, I told Lai Bao that San Jie and Qi Yue are here because they didn't get along with me, and today they're intentionally coming to bother me. Tell him not to take it to heart. Lai Bao told me he won't say anything when he gets home."
Old Man Xia looked at Xia Zhi for a long time before saying: "Good child."
"Grandpa, don't take it to heart and get anxious, it's not worth it." Xia Zhi advised Grandfather Xia.
Old Man Xia loves to save face, has a quick temper and easily gets angry. Old Lady Xia was just carrying dishes into the house when she heard this sentence and felt it was very considerate. "Old man, listen to 16's advice. From now on, both I and Little Dragon will rely on you."
"What are you talking about? You sound like something's wrong." Old Man Xia scolded Old Lady Xia, then ordered dinner to be served.
The main dish at noon was scallion-burned carp tofu, and two small salted dishes brought from home by Xia Zhi. There were also vinegar-glazed potato shreds made by Old Lady Xia, and the staple food was a bun mixed with wheat flour and corn flour. The dough for the bun was specially left by Old Lady Xia for Xia Zhi to eat at noon.
Mrs. Xia's noodles were all very authentic. After eating his fill, Xia Zhi saw that Old Master Xia had no other instructions, so he took Xiao Shu back home. As soon as she walked to the courtyard, the door of the east wing opened, and Mrs. Luo, Xia's second sister-in-law, came out of the house.
"Sixteen," Old Rou shouted at Sixteen, "You're a vicious child. Look what happened to your sister in May, and you don't even care, just following Old Tian's nephew around like nothing's wrong!"
Xia Zhi got off the bus and inexplicably stared at Luo Shi, not knowing where she was coming from. "Did San Jie fall? I'll get them a basket, let them come back immediately."
"You're still pretending not to know now! Your second uncle and aunt have never been unfair to you. Even if your fifth sister spoke out of turn and offended you, there's no need to be so ruthless! You little girl, Auntie has never seen it before, the way you treat your mother..."
"Old Second Daughter-in-law!" Old Master Xia interrupted Luo's words, coming out of the upper house. "What are you making a fuss about? You still have the face to mention the 16th! Four sixes don't understand, dogs bite Lü Dongbin! How old are you now? You're not even as good as a child! If you don't understand, go back to your room and think carefully, don't lose face here!"
Luoshi was scolded by Old Man Xia until his face turned bright red, he stood there thinking for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to argue with Old Man Xia, and turned around to go back into the house.
"Old Second! Old Second!" Mr. Xia shouted at Xia Yunman.
Nor did I know whether Uncle Xia was absent or what, but the east wing of the house was silent.
Old Xia snorted coldly. He softened his tone and spoke to Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, do what you should do, don't be on the same level as those ignorant people. I understand your feelings."
Xia Zhi took Xiaoshu back home, knowing in her heart that she had offended Xia Ershu's family today, even though in reality she had saved their reputation.
"It's hard to be a good person!" Xia Zhi sighed softly.
"What's going on?" Xia Qiao asked Xia Zhi today without heading to the backyard.
"Unspeakable!"
"Sixteen, you really haven't wasted your time learning to read!" Xia Qiao smiled, reluctantly returning the old local gazette to Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi had bought this book back because he couldn't recognize all the characters yet, so he only read a few pages every day, and Xia Qiao would seize the opportunity to borrow it and read it. "Sixteen, this book is really good."
Xia Qiao also likes reading books.
"Brother, if you like reading it, don't rush to return it. I still have some things I don't understand and want to ask you." Xia Zhi said to Xia Qiao.
"Go ahead, if you don't understand something, ask me."
"Brother, you like reading books, have you told Dad?" Xia Zhi suddenly asked again.
Xia Qiao was caught off guard and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't want to make things difficult for Father. It's not easy for him either." It was impossible for Xia Xiuzai to buy books for him. Although the Wenshan Academy had a library, the books in the library could not be taken out of the academy.
Moreover, he has long since given up reading and taking imperial examinations. What's the use of reading books? Borrowing his sister's light to read a book is already an indulgence for him.
Xia Zhi wanted to say something else, but then heard the sound of the back door curtain. Xia Lin ran in with her two short legs and saw that Xia Zhi and his siblings were all there, so she called out "brother" and "sister" a few times, then ran over to Xia Zhi.
"Fourth sister, they're speaking ill of you." Xia Lin finally found an opportunity to inform Xia Zhi. However, he couldn't understand too complicated words, so Xia Zhi only grasped a general idea.
Fortunately, before long, December arrived.
"La Yue, come and talk with me." Xia Zhi then called La Yue over to sit beside him.
"…Third Sister twisted her foot and even fell on her face!" As soon as the tenth month opened his mouth, it was a heavy bombshell.
"Was it a serious fall?"
"I didn't think it was serious, just a mouthful of mud, no skin broken, no swelling." But when I came back in May, the situation was truly dire.
May was supported by July on her way back, she had washed her face by the river, but not clean, so when she returned home, she was limping, with mud and water all over her face, her dress and shoes were also dirty. At first glance, it really looked like she had been seriously injured. July's appearance was better than May's, but her clothes were also stained, looking unpleasant.
The two sisters arrived home and threw the basket into the courtyard. Xia Ershu and Xia Erjie received it, and the two sisters didn't go back to the house, but instead scolded Xia Zhi severely in the courtyard.
"They said it was Fourth Sister's orders for them to go to that broken place to cut grass, and Third Sister got angry. They also said that Fourth Sister saw them but didn't care about them at all, just played by herself, and even let those wild kids from the riverside laugh at them."
Xia Qiao didn't know what was going on and just looked at Xia Zhi. Xiao Shu Er unconditionally stood on her sister's side: "They're slandering people! How annoying!"
"Don't scold the dog, it's innocent!" Xia Zhi scolded Xiao Shu.
"Yes, they are worse than dogs! Da Qing is much stronger than them!" Xiao Shu'er said immediately.
"Don't compare them with Daqing!"
The little tree wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by the big bridge. "What's going on with the summer solstice?"
