C83 083 Xia Xuejiao

Xia Yang, Xia Yue, and Xia Xuejiao were extremely estranged. After Xia Yang finished displaying his "great work" to Xia Xuejiao, he could no longer find any topic to talk about.

As a result, the three people surrounding the stone table stared at each other with their eyes wide open. None of them said a word, and the atmosphere was very subtle.

When Xia Yi came out of the house, she noticed the awkward little atmosphere that was created by the three people quieten down, and directly sat down in the middle of the three people.

Xia Yang lightly pulled on Xia Yi's sleeves, and said softly: "Big sister, I don't know what to say to big sister Xuejiao …"

There was a wronged look in his eyes. It was really too difficult to find something to talk about.

Xia Yi patted Xia Yang's head and said: "Yang is already very good."

Then, he looked at Xia Xuejiao and asked: "Did your mother ask you to come here?"

In the past few months, Xia Xuejiao had never taken the initiative to step into her courtyard.

Xia Xuejiao immediately denied with a wave of her hand: "No … No... It wasn't my mother who called me here. "

Xia Xuejiao was only a ten years old little girl, but from her reaction, it seemed that she was not lying anymore.

"Sister Xia Yi, can I... Can I come to your house to read? " Xia Xuejiao lowered her head, she did not dare to look straight at Xia Yi's expression, but her peripheral vision would frequently glance at Xia Yi's face.

Expectation and fear.

Xia Xuejiao was older than Xia Yang and Xia Yue, so she naturally knew what Mao Cuilan had done to Xia Yi and his three siblings.

Although she knew that something was wrong, she had always been watching from the sidelines. She had never thought of helping the third brother and sister. Even when the third sister and brother were starving, she had never thought of giving them a portion of her food.

But now, she was really afraid that Xia Yi would refuse her request.

Xia Yi did not immediately reply. Instead, she propped her chin up and asked Xia Xuejiao: "Does your mother know?"

Xia Xuejiao shook her head, and said with flickering eyes: "Could Sister Xia Yi not tell my mother? My mother doesn't want me to read or study, she says it's useless, and that only by learning how to seduce women can I find a good home."

The reason why Mao Cuilan had been so peaceful recently was because she had to urge Xia Xuejiao to learn from the girl. That was why she didn't have time to bother Xia Yi anymore.

"What do you think?" Xia Yi asked.

Xia Xuejiao thought for a moment before replying, "I … I want to be able to read. "

There were not many ancient women who wanted to take the initiative and study, but Xia Xuejiao was quite open-minded.

Xia Yi thought for a moment, then said: "I don't have any objections, it's just that these books belong to Yang and Yue Yue, I still have to ask for their opinion."

In fact, there were quite a few books in the family, all of which belonged to Xiao Linmu. After he left, he gave these books to Xia Yang and Xia Yue.

"Yang..."

"Yue Yue..."

Xia Xuejiao turned towards Xia Yang and Xia Yue, softly calling out their names.

Although Xia Yang and Xia Yue were not familiar with each other, they were still two cute and soft-hearted girls. The two of them only exchanged a look, and then nodded at the same time, "I can."

"Really?" Xia Xuejiao could not believe it. Even if Xia Yang and Xia Yue had rejected her, she would have nothing to say.

"Yes." Xia Yue nodded seriously.

Xia Xuejiao extended his arms and wrapped them around, "You two are really good!"

Xia Yue didn't quite get used to it, she gently moved her shoulders, but since Xia Xuejiao's arms were tight, she could only give up.

In the next few days, as long as Xia Xuejiao could sneak out from his house, she would come straight to Xia Yi's house.

It was just that Mao Cuilan was very strict on her, and she didn't have much of a chance to slip out. Sometimes, Xia Yang and Xia Yue wouldn't even be home, and the number of times she would be able to read a book wouldn't be much either.

Even so, she was already very happy.

She could not read much, it was all learned from two years ago when she was secretly listening to a lecture outside the school in the next village. There were some sentences that she could not understand that she had to ask Xia Yue for guidance.

Xia Yue would always patiently explain to Xia Xuejiao, to the point where Xia Xuejiao had complete admiration for him.

"Yue Yue, are you home tomorrow? Can I come and find you? " asked before she left. After looking for her a few times, she knew that Xia Yi was not at home often.

Xia Yue shook her head.

Xia Xuejiao said with some regret, "Tomorrow, my mother will not be at home …"

She had finally recovered and was able to sneak out, but she did not expect that Xia Yue would actually be left empty-handed.

Xia Yue said: "Whatever books big sister wants to read in the future, feel free to come over. I might have to go to school in the future, I shouldn't be home often."

"School?" Xia Xuejiao's pupils dilated as she looked at Xia Yue in disbelief, but seeing Xia Yue's serious expression, it didn't seem like she was talking nonsense, "Isn't the school only recruiting men? You can even go to school with a girl? "

Before, when Xia Xuejiao was eavesdropping outside the school, he had asked the teachers in the school about this. The teachers told her that the school did not accept female students.

Xia Yue did not elaborate, but only said: "In the capital, there are a few academies recruiting female students."

"Really?" Xia Xuejiao's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly dimmed down, "My mother will not let me go, Yue Yue, I am really envious of you."

"Big Sister Xuejiao, can you promise me that you won't tell your mother about this …" Xia Yue looked at Xia Xuejiao's expression and frowned.

She suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Mao Cuilan found out that Xia Yi had bought a bed, and even specially rushed over to chat with Xia Yi eerily for a long time.

This time, if Mao Cuilan found out about this, she was sure that she would come to cause trouble for him.

Xia Xuejiao patted her chest as she promised Xia Yue, "I won't tell my mother."

Coincidentally, Xia Yi walked over, and she asked while smiling: "What are you guys talking about? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. "

Xia Xuejiao vaguely said: "No … Nothing. Sister Xia Yi, I will be leaving first. If my mother can't find me in a while, I should be worried. "

After saying that, he quickly left.

Looking at Xia Xuejiao's figure that was quickly disappearing from the door, Xia Yi seemed to have thought of something.

Just as he was about to ask Xia Yue what exactly happened, Xia Yue had already stood up.

"What's wrong?"

She turned her head to look at Xia Yue, only to see that Xia Yue's face was filled with regret, as if she had done something wrong.

"Sorry elder sister, I told elder sister Xuejiao about going to school. Would she tell Second Aunt Aunt … " Xia Yue said.

Even after so long, she was still afraid of Mao Cuilan.

Xia Yi suddenly understood. No wonder she heard Xia Xuejiao say that she would not tell her mother.

She laughed and said, "I thought it was only because of this matter. The village is only so small, if Xuejiao does not tell me, sooner or later, it will spread to the ears of the Second Aunt. "

"Really?" Xia Yue's eyes flickered as she asked that question.

Xia Yi patted Xia Yue's head and said: "There's nothing to hide when going to study."

"But …" Second Aunt, would she … " Xia Yue asked.

Xia Yi said: "You don't have to worry, the time will come sooner or later. Even if you didn't go to study, you wouldn't have been able to avoid it."

Judging from the last time Mao Cuilan had specially wanted to throw Xia Erfu into her restaurant, the reason why she had stopped beating around the bush was only so that he could benefit even more in the future.

What should come will come sooner or later, it would be better to come earlier than later.
