Let's not talk about how Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan were busy washing themselves. In the kitchen, Widow Liu was cooking bird's nest while thinking about how to get Old Xiao to give her a guarantee.
Now that Xiao Yi has become a general outside, and is attracted by some princess, the Xiao family's wealth will never be able to escape from now on. If she can't get a share of this overwhelming wealth, won't she be blind and useless in vain? So much thought!
She couldn't count on Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuanhang, so she had no choice but to capture Old Man Xiao as soon as possible. Although she was a little unwilling to do so, she accepted that she would be prosperous and wealthy in the rest of her life!
Widow Liu made up her mind. Seeing that no one was outside, she filled half a bowl of bird's nest and drank it. In fact, it wasn't very tasty, but maybe because it was expensive and something only ladies could afford, Mrs. Liu felt it was particularly refreshing. Sweet, after drinking half a bowl, I feel like I am really young, and I am more and more determined to rise to the top!
After drinking it himself, he mixed some water and gave four bowls to Mrs. Xiao and the others to carry in. Xiao Yan and Xie Yujiao had already finished cleaning up and came back. The cloth in the room was also packed into boxes and carried outside. Widow Liu lowered her head. He handed them four bowls of bird's nests with an eye-catching look.
This bird's nest is placed in two large dark bowls, which gives the impression of being brewed with coffee with a large spoon. It is neither foreign nor earthy, but it does not prevent Mrs. Xiao and others from enjoying it.
The ladies held wooden spoons with orchid fingers and drank the bird's nest in small sips. One said it was sweeter than sugar water, and the other said it tasted better than egg custard.
After finishing eating, he pushed the bowl to Mrs. Liu and ordered
"After washing the dishes, I washed the box cloth in the yard. I wonder if a wild cat pooped in it!"
After hearing this, Widow Liu felt uneasy for a while, but she still agreed, thinking of finding time to coax Old Man Xiao and give her a piece of cloth.
After drinking the bird's nest, Xiao Yan and Xie Yujiao were thinking about the one hundred taels of silver again. Xiao Yan spoke first.
"Mom, after all, I married into a member's wife's family. It turns out that my second brother didn't get married to the princess. Our family is poor, but I gave half of the betrothal gift to you. Now that the princess has given me a hundred taels of silver, I have to have it no matter what. I’ll take half of it, and don’t let my husband’s family look down upon me!”
Xie Yujiao was not to be outdone,
“Mom, my family has plenty of money to spend on long voyages and studies!
And I still have your golden grandchild in my belly. You see, since I was pregnant with this child, our family's life has suddenly gotten better. It can be seen that the child in my belly is a lucky star and brings prosperity to our family. I thought Is it better to give your child a golden lock of longevity and lock in this good luck? "
Xie Yujiao was just trying to get some money, but she didn't expect Old Man Xiao and Old Mrs. Xiao to actually believe it!
It's not that bad. After all, her golden grandson is really a lucky star. As soon as he comes, his second uncle will become a general, and the princess will also come. If this doesn't mean that his father will be the number one scholar in the examination, then There is another princess in the capital, and the second child has become a general. Why not give the fourth child a high official position!
He originally had no intention of giving it to Xie Yujiao, but he promised to give Xie Yujiao's son a golden lock of longevity in the future.
I don’t know where she got her confidence. Xie Yujiao is a boy or a lucky star!
Xie Yujiao got the promise and was contented to think about how to overpower Xie Yushu when she went back tomorrow.
On the other side, the few guards sent by Chu Mingzhu were hiding in the woods outside Xiejia Village and waiting for darkness.
At this time, Xie Yushu was hugging Chu Jinyu who was out of breath and crying.
It is said that Chu Jinyu followed Huya to Xie Yushu's house. As soon as he saw Xie Yushu's shadow, he threw her down like a red-eyed bunny, hugged Xie Yushu's legs and started crying.
"Oh, oh, oh, mother, you don't want me anymore, I miss you so much!
My father was evil. He threw me in a big yard and left. There was an aunt in the big yard who was always being mean to me. Oh, oh, oh, oh, mother, look, she even hit me on the palm of my hand and whipped me with a wooden stick! Don't let me see you yet! "
Chu Jinyu, who was crying into tears, complained while lifting up her sleeves to show Xie Yushu.
Although it had been more than ten days, Chu Jinyu still had some faint traces of bruises on his body, and his palms were also covered with bruises. Xie Yushu looked at the thin little man, her eyes were red with distress, and she cursed angrily.
"What the hell is this bastard Xiao Yi doing!"
Although she already knew about the affairs of the capital from Han Zhongyu, and also knew that Chu Jinyu was sent back to Chu Mingzhu and became Anlehou, she never expected that Chu Mingzhu, a lunatic, would treat her own nephew like this …
She wanted to say vicious, but thinking that Chu Jinyu was still young and Chu Mingzhu was his aunt, she didn't say it!
She didn't want Chu Jinyu to instill hatred and negative things in him at such a young age.
So after coaxing Xiao Jinyu for a while, seeing that he slowly stopped crying, he said
"Okay, you are a man, stop crying.
Mom, let me tell you, your father gave you to your aunt because he wanted you to return to your relatives. His original intention was for your good, but he was just too stupid to know that your aunt didn't know how to take care of children!
As for your aunt, she may have gone too far in order to revive the Chu family, so she put all her hopes on you.
This is wrong. It is good for her to have this intention, but she should work hard on her own and should not impose responsibilities on you. You are still young, so let’s not talk about these for now. When you grow up and have the ability, you can do it yourself. Just decide how you want to go in life, okay? "
"Okay, I listen to my mother, I don't want to leave my mother!"
"Okay, if you want to be with mother, then stay here."
Chu Jinyu herself didn't take Anlehou's identity seriously, and neither did Xie Yushu. The two of them were just as usual.
Chu Jinyu thought about it, but still felt aggrieved, and said again
"Mom, my aunt said you are not my mother. I hate my aunt, and I also hate my eldest aunt and my younger aunt. My eldest aunt even robbed our house!
That's our house, I'm going to kick them out! "
Chu Jinyu now has no favorable impression at all when mentioning her aunt, and said aggrievedly.
This unlucky boy has so many good aunts, but he doesn’t have any of them!
If these aunts of his were like Aunt Su and couldn't hurt him to the bone, then why would he have to suffer these crimes!
"What's going on? Are you back home?
Yes, Huya, how come you brought him back?
How did you come back from being so far away from the capital? Where is your escort? "
Seeing that Chu Jinyu was crying, Xie Yushu was busy coaxing him. Only then did she remember that the capital was thousands of miles away. Why was such a young child like him not followed by anyone, and Hu Ya was sent to him!
When Huya asked Xie Yushu, he told everything about his meeting with Chu Jinyu, and Chu Jinyu also complained.
"They wanted to kill me for eating meat. They also called me a little beggar and beat me. This is where they hit me on my face!
Mom, you and Master Xiaodie will take me to fight them! "
Chu Jinyu's face turned red with anger when he said it. He remembered that Xie Yushu could beat the little aunt and fourth aunt who ran away to his house to grab things every time. He thought that Xie Yushu was the most powerful. He clenched his little fists and wanted Xie Yushu to lead him to take revenge. !
Xie Yushu originally ignored Xiao Damei and the others, but when she heard that they beat Xiao Jinyu, she had to remind her whose home it was!
It's a pity that it's getting dark today, and Chu Jinyu doesn't look good, so Xie Yushu coaxes him to rest for a day. Xiao Damei's family can't run there anyway, so they can wait until Chu Jinyu feels energetic again!
