Chapter 244 Because You Are My Daughter
Chapter 244 Because You Are My Daughter
Shi Yao sat still and drank a sip of tea slowly. Then she said in a surprised tone, "Oh, what kind of wind is blowing today? Oh, it's the southeast wind. Which wind outlet did the third master pick up the silver? Tell me quickly so that I can pick it up too!"
"Shi Yao, don't be so ungrateful!" Shi Jianan was irritable because of hunger. Shi Yao was full, but he was even hungrier. He threw the banknotes and said, "This is what your wife asked me to give you as compensation."
Shi Yao raised her eyes: "Compensation for what? Sixteen years of child support?"
"Shi Yao! You should know that because you are my daughter, you can grow up without worries about food and clothing. I don't owe you anything!" Shi Jianan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He said angrily, "You grew up in the countryside. You should have seen what a real poor family is like.
Have you ever tasted the feeling of hunger? Have you ever tasted the feeling of shivering with cold? "
Shi Yao thought for a moment, looked at Shi Jian'an and said with a smile: "I have never experienced the feeling of being hungry, but you should have experienced it, Master.
I have experienced the feeling of shivering with cold. Is the master old and forgetful? On the first day I arrived in Beijing, my elder sister pushed me into the lake.
The eldest lady invited more than ten doctors to see the eldest sister. After they had examined the eldest sister, they came to take my pulse. I almost froze to death!
Let me think, when your daughter was about to freeze to death, what was the master doing? Oh, the master was watching over his beloved niece, hoping that she would wake up soon. I'm afraid he was cursing in his heart that his daughter would die sooner so as not to be an eyesore to your third room."
Banxia's mouth pursed, she lowered her head and let out a low sob.
Muxiang and others followed closely behind, sobbing quietly.
"You! You..." Shi Jianan pointed at Shi Yao, his lips trembling.
He was obviously very angry, but he felt guilty and couldn't argue.
Shi Yunfan had a meal with Shi Yao, and his impression of Shi Yao changed greatly. He leaned over and asked timidly, "Aunt, your big sister is my aunt?"
Shi Yao nodded, covered her lips with her hand, and whispered to him: "Yes, it's her, Shi Mingzhu."
Shi Yunfan immediately looked at her with sympathy, feeling that they shared the same suffering and they felt a deeper mutual respect for each other.
Shi Yao stretched out her hand to him and said bitterly, "Brother Fan, give your aunt a hug. Your aunt needs comfort."
Shi Yunfan hesitated for a moment, jumped off the chair, trotted to Shi Yao, looked up and opened his arms to her.
Shi Yao picked up Shi Yunfan and let him sit on her lap.
Shi Yunfan pouted her little red lips and whispered in her ear, "Aunt, you fell into the lake. It must be very cold, right?"
Shi Yao also whispered in my ear, "It's so cold. I almost froze to death. Not only did your grandfather not comfort me, but he also looked at me as if my nose wasn't a nose and my eyes weren't eyes. Every time he saw me, he glared at me with his eyes. He was so fierce and scary! Brother Fan, you have to protect your aunt."
Shi Yunfan nodded for the sake of lunch today and said, "Okay, when I grow up, I will protect my aunt."
Bah! Such a young child can draw big cakes! Shi Yao said pitifully: "Okay, when you grow up, you will be the big villain, and I, your little aunt, will hide behind you and be a small villain."
Shi Yunfan heard the hidden meaning, his eyes lit up, and asked, "Is the villain very powerful?"
Shi Yao nodded excitedly: "Super awesome! Your grandparents, your father and your mother, all have to listen to you!"
"Then I want to be a villain instead of a general!" Shi Yunfan immediately changed his wish.
Shi Yao covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother Fan is amazing! But this is our little secret, you can't tell anyone else."
Without waiting for Shi Yunfan's response, Shi Jian'an, who could only hear fragments of what he said, jumped up and asked, "Shi Yao, are you saying bad things about me to him? How can you be so vicious? You're making a kid hate his own grandfather!"
Shi Yao rolled her eyes at him: "Yes, yes, I am from the countryside of Jinling, and my character is not as noble as yours, who was born and raised in the capital. I said something bad about you, is that it? Are you satisfied?
It's strange, why don't other people worry about me saying bad things, but you do? You've done so many bad things, are you feeling guilty? "
Shi Jianan was hungry and angry, with smoke coming out of his head. He slammed the banknotes on the coffee table in front of Shi Yao and went to hug Shi Yunfan: "Yunfan, go back with grandfather! Don't learn bad things from your little aunt!"
It was rare for Shi Yunfan to have someone close to him, so he clung to Shi Yao and refused to let go: "I won't leave, I won't leave! I want to protect my aunt!"
"Thank you, Brother Fan!" Shi Yao kissed the child hard on the forehead.
Shi Yunfan's face turned red, and he became embarrassed and unwilling to let go.
Shi Jianan knew that his hands were heavy and was afraid that he would hurt his grandson, so he said angrily: "Okay, if you don't leave, I will leave!"
He flicked his sleeves, turned and left.
Shi Yao picked up the banknotes, raised her hand, and the banknotes flew all over the floor. She smiled in surprise and said, "Oh my! Hurry up, hurry up, there's a southeast wind in our yard, pick up the money! Pick it up quickly, and give Brother Fan some extra food tonight!"
The maids stopped crying, for they were afraid that the wind would blow away one or two of the bills, so they hurried around the house chasing after them.
Shi Yao giggled heartily.
Shi Yunfan was stunned. That was money too!
Every time his father and mother gave his aunt something nice, he would cry and make a fuss, and his mother would squeeze out some silver or ask the wet nurse to get a string of money to buy it for him.
Money is a good thing!
The child hurriedly climbed down from Shi Yao's legs and went to pick up the money with the maids.
Shi Jianan turned around and stumbled, almost tripping over the threshold: "Shi Yao!"
He roared, ran back, pointed at Shi Yao's nose and cursed, "You unfilial daughter! Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?
Because you are my daughter and your surname is Shi, you can grow up in peace, have servants to serve you, don't have to get up early and work late, and don't have your children to be slaves for generations. Now you have fine clothes and delicious food, and in the future you will marry into an official family!
You have everything today because of me! What are you complaining about? Who are you taking revenge on? Who are you embarrassing? Without me, where would you be?
Without me, you think you can sit here and be your daughter. I am afraid you are either a slave or a maid in some brothel..."
Shi Jianan paused for a moment, knowing that he couldn't say the following words, otherwise there would be no way to undo it.
Shi Yao looked at him with a smile.
Shi Yunfan was so scared that he hid under the table holding a silver note.
The maids hurriedly retreated, not daring to listen.
Banxia stood beside Shi Yao with her chest puffed out, her legs weak.
Shi Yao applauded: "Master, you are right! If I could choose my parents, maybe I would be the princess of the Jade Emperor now?
Well, life is unpredictable. I don't want to be your daughter. It's my bad luck to be born with you. Since I was born, I have no choice. I have to live anyway.
Just like you, my Lord, if your surname was not Shi, you would be a servant in some household now. Your family might be starving and cold, unable to support you, and might even send you to the palace to be a eunuch."
After saying that, Shi Yaoru suddenly remembered something and covered her mouth abruptly: "I'm sorry, Third Master, I blurted out that I forgot that we do have a eunuch in the third room."
This was the hidden pain of the third room. Shi Jian'an could not bear it, so he raised his hand and swung it towards Shi Yao's face.
