After hearing what Ji Xiang's father said, Qiu Lichang said lukewarmly, "This candy is now a popular fruit, and children love to eat it, so we bought a box for the children to eat."
After saying this, Chang Qiu simply gave the candy to his children.
After distributing the candies, Qiu Lichang looked up at Father Jixiang and said, "Tell me, why did you come to me?"
Facing Qiu Lichang's words, Jixiang's father only whispered, "Actually, I came to you for two things. You also mentioned one of them, which is about my daughter-in-law, but you said that I can't help you much." , so I won’t beg you, but apart from this, I just want to ask you if my daughter has come to see you."
When Qiu Lichang heard this, it was naturally impossible for him to tell the truth, but he couldn't be too serious about what he said.
So he just said, "Why do you ask?"
Father Jixiang immediately said, "Oh, don't mention it anymore. This damn girl came back today. She said that the Zhu family fired her, so she came back. We all thought that this girl was going to stay at home for a long time, but who could have imagined it?" This girl actually took advantage of the situation to steal her household registration certificate. Don't you think she was just fooling around? Wherever she wanted to go with her household registration certificate, it couldn't be an elopement."
Hearing this, the mayor was also horrified, because he suddenly remembered that when Jixiang came here today, she seemed to have brought a man with her, and besides the man, she actually held a child in her hand.
Thinking of this, the head of the house couldn't help but feel frightened, but when he thought that Jixiang was in her own home, life was worse than death. Even if she eloped, she might not be able to live a worse life than now.
Moreover, the young man looked like a loyal and blessed person. It is always better for Jixiang to follow him than to stay at home. Therefore, considering this, Li Changbian not only said to Jixiang's father, "What are you talking about? This is your girl." I will help you keep an eye on it. You can figure out your own solution for your wife's affairs. If you have nothing to do, go back. I still have to cook."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief had already stood up and was about to go to the kitchen.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to like him very much, it was natural that this lucky father would not be able to stay here any longer.
When Jixiang's father left the house, Jixiang sneaked out through the back door and immediately sneaked in the direction of Jixiang's sister-in-law.
Naturally, the door of the Liu family's house was closed at this time. For a moment, Jixiang even thought that the couple had gone out of the stall.
But when I came in, I obviously didn't see their stall outside.
Thinking of this, Jixiang immediately asked the people next to him about the records of Zhang Butcher and his wife.
The people nearby were also enthusiastic, "You mean the Zhang family? Madam Zhang is at home. After all, Qiuniang is pregnant after giving birth and needs someone to take care of the child. Madam Zhang is also afraid that the Chen family will come to rob her. So their house has closed the door. You have to find her." Just knock on the door."
After hearing what the other party said, Ji Xiang immediately thanked the other party.
Then she led Wu Chengwei and Li Yunzhen back to the door of Zhang's house.
Boom, boom, boom! She knocked on the door knocker of Zhang's house.
Naturally, the people in the room also heard the noise outside, so they only asked, "Who is that person?"
After hearing the other party's words, Jixiang couldn't help but take the initiative and said, "Sister Zhang is me, Jixiang."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but temporarily close the courtyard door that she was about to open. She just said unceremoniously, "What are you doing here? It's impossible for your father to arrange for you to come here to be a lobbyist again, right?" ?」
"Jixiang girl, I told you ugly things earlier. No one can help you. Anyway, she has been bought by us, so she is our family. If you have some conscience, I shouldn't help you. Those parents."
How could Jixiang not know the other party's worries? She quickly explained to Madam Zhang, "Sister Zhang, what are you talking about? How could I act as a lobbyist for my parents? I just came to see my sister-in-law. After all, she would be like this. It was all me who harmed her."
After hearing that Jixiang was not here to be a lobbyist, Madam Zhang opened the door with confidence.
But when she saw the big and small children beside Ji Xiang, she couldn't help but ask.
"Jixiang, these two are."
Jixiang didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply smiled and said, "This is my friend, and the child is my friend's child."
As Ji Xiang's words fell, Li Yunzhen just called out innocently, "Hello, aunt. My name is Li Yunzhen, you can just call me Yunzhen."
The tall silent man then simply said, "My name is Wu Chengwei."
From the three completely different surnames, Madam Zhang could tell that the three of them were indeed not a family.
At that moment, Madam Zhang only thought that the little girl looked smart and cute. She was so happy that she immediately called the three of them, "Come in."
After receiving Madam Zhang's permission, Ji Xiang walked in.
But when she entered, Mrs. Zhang said to Jixiang, "You guys should wait outside first. The child and Qiuniang have just fallen asleep. Qiuniang's trip is extremely dangerous, so you'd better not disturb her. Take a look and you can go back. It’s not easy for her to get a good night’s sleep.”
After hearing Madam Zhang's words, Ji Xiang nodded naturally and cooperatively.
Then Madam Zhang gently led Ji Xiang to visit the place where her sister-in-law now slept.
At this moment, Qiuniang was sleeping, but even in her sleep, she frowned. Moreover, her face and lips were still pale at this moment. From this look, it seemed that she had not taken care of her injuries before.
Looking at the child again, Ji Xiang couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.
"Sister Zhang, why did my sister-in-law become like this?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard Ji Xiang's words, she just whispered, "I don't know what happened. Anyway, when I went over to see your sister-in-law at noon, she was already lying under the steps and calling for help. I saw that her lower body was red. , I felt something was wrong, and I quickly called the neighbors to lift her up, but I didn’t expect your mother to be so shameless. I kindly helped her daughter-in-law to the hospital, but she didn’t want to help. She actually tried to Stop us."
"She said she wanted me to give her five taels of silver before she released your sister-in-law! To be honest, I have seen a lot of scoundrels, but I have never seen a scoundrel like your mother!" qs
"Your sister-in-law is also a member of her family, and the child she is carrying in her belly is also your child. She can actually take advantage of our kindness and raise the price. If my life was not at stake, I would feel that your sister-in-law is really pitiful. I am really serious about this shit. I don’t want to care!"
"After that, I paid three taels of silver and borrowed two taels of silver from other people one after another. I just took your sister-in-law out."
"Speaking of which, your sister-in-law's life should not be aborted. The child is very likely to die. When we carried him out to the hospital, we thought that your sister-in-law might not be able to save the child, and that both of your sisters-in-law might die."
"I didn't expect that your sister-in-law woke up again after drinking a bowl of ginseng soup to take a breath, and she even managed to give birth to the baby with a little effort."
"This is truly rare luck. God feels sorry for this poor man."
"It's just that your sister-in-law is still very weak and needs to take a good rest, so I didn't let you see her."
After hearing Madam Zhang explain the cause and effect, she felt relieved on the one hand, but also felt guilty on the other.
After all, what happened to my sister-in-law today was actually related to me.
If he had not come back today, his sister-in-law would not have argued with his mother in order to defend herself.
And she can probably think of why her sister-in-law encountered this today. After all, when she went out, she actually saw her mother pushing her sister-in-law again, but at that time, in order not to be caught by her mother, she still chose to run away. .
Now her sister-in-law is fine. If something happens to her, she may never forgive herself in her life.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiang just took a tips bag from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Zhang. This was her savings from working outside for many years.
"Ms. Zhang, here are twenty taels of silver. I will give it to you in the hope that you can help me take good care of my sister-in-law." Jixiang whispered.
However, when Madam Zhang saw the money, she said, "Who wants your money?"
! And I won’t let your sister-in-law go to your house again. Your parents' nature is hard to change. For the sake of their children, they may not do anything to your sister-in-law. But if the children no longer need your sister-in-law, what do you think they will do? How could I let them abuse your sister-in-law like this again? "
After hearing Madam Zhang's words, Ji Xiang couldn't help but laugh.
"Ms. Zhang, you may have misunderstood me. I am not giving you this money so that my sister-in-law can go back and be punished by my parents. I am giving this twenty taels of silver to you as well as to my sister-in-law."
"Ms. Zhang, I know you are a good person, but I can't just ignore all this just because you are a good person."
"I know that buying my sister-in-law for five taels of silver is actually not a good deal at all. I also know that your family will not approve of your doing this. If you continue to pay for my sister-in-law's recuperation, even if you are willing, you will not be able to do it later. There are many difficulties. So I am giving you this money because I want you to help me take good care of my sister-in-law, so that you, a good person, will not be blamed by your own family for these things."
"Don't question my sincerity. I did all this out of my own heart. After all, what happened to my sister-in-law today was actually because of me. If my sister-in-law hadn't stopped my mother for me and was pushed down by her, , she might not be like this anymore. Just think of it as my atonement and peace of mind. Just accept my money."
Hearing Ji Xiang's words, what else did Mrs. Zhang have to say? She took Ji Xiang's money and said, "You are a good boy. Don't worry, I will take good care of your sister-in-law for you. And in our family, this has never happened." I am the one who has the final say, if anyone dares to say no, I will tell them to pack up and get out!"
Hearing Madam Zhang's words, Ji Xiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
