Xie Yujiao saw Old Man Xiao lying on the kang, clutching his waist and groaning. She was afraid that Old Mrs. Xiao would have an attack on her again, so she quickly said she felt sick in her stomach and turned around to go back to her yard!
When Qiu Hong saw that something was wrong, she naturally didn't want to stay any longer and ran away.
Widow Liu didn't want Old Man Xiao to end up like this. She didn't care whether Xiao Yuanhang was exiled or not. As long as Xiao Yi was still a general, life would be good with Old Man Xiao.
So he quickly expressed concern
"Don't break it. Why don't you ask the doctor to take a look at it?"
Old man Xiao couldn't stand the pain anymore. After hearing what Widow Liu said, he nodded.
"Go and find Mr. Li Tou from the next village and show him to me."
When Widow Liu heard this, she responded and went to invite the doctor.
Seeing how fast Widow Liu was walking, Mrs. Xiao muttered dissatisfiedly.
"How much will it cost to find a doctor?"
When Old Man Xiao heard this, he felt extremely unhappy.
"What! I'm not worth the money for medicine!
You girls have food and clothing, and you all know how to enjoy it. How much does it cost for the fourth child to spend this time? It's all what you're used to. If you hadn't protected him every day and given him whatever he asked for, he would have become like that.
I feel bad for you as a doctor! "
"How come I'm used to it!
It’s not that you said that the fourth child was smart since he was a child and was destined to be a promising child, so I protected him!
Whatever happens is my fault! Oh my god, I can’t live this life! This heartless old man, I have worked so hard to spend half my life with you, but you don’t miss me at all!
Why didn't I kill you? I am still at peace! "
Old Mrs. Xiao was imprisoned with her heart broken, her money was gone, and her daughter was divorced. It was the unbearable pain of having her heart and liver ripped out of her. She was scolded by Old Man Xiao and started to cry!
Old man Xiao felt uncomfortable.
The two of them couldn't figure out how their good life ended up in this state!
But at this moment, the good-hearted Aunt Tian and several women who love to gossip about their wives came to see them!
Old Mrs. Xiao was still crying and wiping her tears when she heard Aunt Tian shouting:
"Sister-in-law! She's at home!
We are all thinking about the child from Yuanhang, so let’s take a look. "
When Mrs. Xiao heard the voice of Aunt Tian, she immediately wiped her tears, pretended to be fine, and said with a drooped face.
"What's so interesting? We, Yuanhang, had some misunderstandings with our classmates. We have only been imprisoned for a few days. The second daughter-in-law is the princess of the capital. We will go to the capital to find her. It won't take long for Yuanhang to be released!"
"Oh! That's not bad. We also heard that Yuanhang's reputation as a scholar was so impressive that we thought this kid had committed some kind of murder and arson!"
Mrs. Xiao was right after hearing this.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's nothing. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will tear their stinking mouth off!"
A daughter-in-law next to her saw Xiao Yan and asked
"Hey, we just heard outside that Yanzi asked the Cao family to come back!
They were married for just a few days and then they divorced because of what?
If the Cao family bullies others, just tell the village chief, our Xiao family is not empty! "
Xiao Yan got angry when she saw their bastardized faces and shouted rudely
"What do you know! I didn't hesitate to go with Cao!
My brother is a general, and there are many good people waiting for me to choose. Even if I retire, it won’t be your turn to watch the fun!
No matter what, leave! What's there to see? I don't think I know what you're thinking! Even if I am divorced, I will still be better off than you! "
"Hey, you damn girl, why are you talking! We care about you with good intentions, but you don't know what's wrong with you!"
"That's right, you have such a bad temper! Don't be lazy and greedy. Your husband's family won't despise Hugh's return!"
"I think so! I can't do anything well, I don't eat enough, and I don't have any education. If my son wants to marry such a wife, I won't let him go!"
"It's not that bad. Even if you don't stop, you still have to fight eight times a day!"
Several wives and mothers-in-law are the best talkers of the ancients in the village, and they are quick to curse people. Xiao Yan is no match for these people. In just a few words, this group of people jumped out of anger, but she did not dare to fight with them. , we can only close the door and drive people out.
At this point, she fully understood how a divorced daughter should be treated.
As soon as the wives and mothers-in-law went out, it didn't take long for Xiao Yan to find out that Xiao Yan was lazy and greedy at her husband's house, had no eyesight and refused to welcome her, and it became a household name that she was divorced by her husband's family.
Several versions were even circulated, all based on how Xiao Yan behaved at home on weekdays. In the end, the stories passed down seemed to be true. Some said that Xiao Yan was grabbing food from her husband's house and not serving her mother-in-law. Some said that Xiao Yan was not on good terms with Cao Cheng'an's son, bullied other children, and was looked down upon by her husband's family. Some said that Xiao Yan was not on good terms with Cao Cheng'an's concubine, got into fights, didn't understand etiquette, and was no longer wanted by her family!
It has to be said that these people really guessed very well, so Xiao Yan became a person that everyone disliked within a day of being in the village. Even the children in the village would avoid her when they saw her, or they would do something to her. He made a face, laughing that she was an abandoned woman who had been divorced and was in disgrace.
Xiao Yan was so angry that she didn't dare to leave the house for several days.
As for Widow Liu, after inviting Old Man Li over, Old Man Li took a look at it and said that Old Man Xiao's waist was twisted and he had to lie down and rest. It was best to lie down for two months, otherwise he would get sick in the future.
Then he prescribed some medicine to relax the muscles and activate blood circulation, and asked Widow Liu to follow her and catch her back.
After several doses of medicine, the last few strings of copper coins at home were used up, and old man Xiao was still lying on the kang unable to move.
But the trip to the capital cannot be delayed. This trip will take more than a month at least. If there is an accident, maybe two months. By then, Xiao Yuanhang will be exiled if he can't save everything.
But the travel expenses to Beijing have not yet been settled.
Old Man Xiao and Old Mrs. Xiao worked together and decided to go to Cao's house to get Xiao Yan's dowry back!
But Old Xiao couldn't move, so Old Mrs. Xiao had to go. Old Mrs. Xiao had a fight with Mr. Cao, but she was also afraid of Mr. Cao, so she asked Xiao Dayong to go with her.
Xiao Dayong had separated from Old Mrs. Xiao a long time ago. He was upset after hearing all the messy things going on in the old house. However, Old Mrs. Xiao was rolling around in front of him, so he had no choice but to accompany her. Of course, Xiao Dayong was also there. Gorgeous.
According to Mrs. Xiao's calculations, when Xiao Yan got married, she paid forty taels as a dowry, as well as the bedding, clothes, and jewelry. She also had to ask for some compensation from the Cao family. A good girl married into their family in less than two months. Just give it up. If she doesn't bite off a piece of their flesh, it's hard to eliminate the hatred in her heart!
She wished she could make up for all the money she spent on Xiao Yuanhang in Tai'an Mansion at the Cao family!
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Cao's house, they didn't even enter through the front door!
Old Mrs. Xiao banged the door angrily and shouted at the top of her lungs that she would sue the government if she didn't pay her back!
As a result, neither Mr. Cao nor his wife showed up, and they only sent an official to warn Mrs. Xiao that if she wanted a dowry, she should first return the gift from his family!
Xiao Yuanhang had harmed his son like this, and he hadn't even settled the score with the Xiao family yet!
After spending a lot of money to marry a poor star, they still want to sue? If you dare to make trouble again, your legs will be discounted!
After the Cao family's housekeeper finished speaking, he directly led out a big black dog and put it at the door. He stared at Old Mrs. Xiao eagerly. Old Mrs. Xiao angrily pushed Xiao Dayong and asked Xiao Dayong to break down the door.
