Xiao Dayong paid no attention to it and said indifferently.
"You asked me to come, and I came with you. When Xiao Yan got married, I said that Cao Chengan was not suitable. You said that I was worthless and refused to let me get involved. On the day of the wedding, you didn't ask me to be your elder brother. Yes, now, of course, it’s none of my business. Whether you leave or not, I’ll leave!”
After Xiao Dayong finished speaking, he turned around and left. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan were unwilling to give in and wanted to knock on the door again, but when they took a step forward, the big black dog took a step forward and pretended to bite. Although Mrs. Xiao and her mother were extremely angry, they had no choice but to return in vain!
After all these incidents, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao have become notorious in the village, so when people saw Xiao Dayong and Mrs. Xiao coming back one after another, and Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao even pulled a donkey With a look of resentment on his face, he knew that the dowry must not be returned, so the couple received another wave of merciless ridicule!
There is also the direct and unceremonious ridicule that takes pleasure in others' misfortunes.
"Our old Xiao family has only had one daughter who was divorced by her husband's family in hundreds of years. It's not embarrassing enough. If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to go out!
Some people are just thick-skinned and don’t know what it means to be rude! "
"That's right, a few days ago, some people went to Xiejia Village to stir up trouble, saying that someone's divorced daughter had disgraced the entire clan and had to exterminate the clan. This time, my daughter was divorced. Why didn't she drive the person out and bring her back to disgrace the entire clan? The face of the clan!”
"Isn't it true that she did something evil and was a good daughter of a bitch's family, so she got her retribution?"
After hearing this, Xiao Dayong pretended that he had not heard anything and went straight back to Xiao Yi's house. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan couldn't scold and beat them, let alone beat them, so they had no choice but to lower their heads and run away home in a hurry.
But we have to go to the capital, and we have to have money. If we don’t get the dowry back, the old couple will discuss it and sell the land!
Xiao Yan also agreed. She didn't want to stay in the village for a day anymore, so she also followed suit.
"Right now, it's more important to save my fourth brother. Anyway, he's locked up now and doesn't need that much land. My eldest brother doesn't care. There's no one to farm the land. It's better to sell it and go to the capital and find the princess to rescue my fourth brother first. Say it again.
The land is sold, and when my second brother comes back, I can buy it back. He will be a general, and he still has no money! "
When Mr. Xiao and his wife heard that this was also the case, they asked Mrs. Liu to go out and ask the nearby rich landlords who bought the land!
Widow Liu went out and asked around, and found out that the landlord from the next village, Fatty Wang, had taken a liking to the Xiao family's six acres of prime land next to the Hetao, and was willing to pay sixty taels for it.
The top-grade farmland near the water usually costs twelve taels of silver per acre, but old man Xiao was in a hurry, so Fatty Wang took the opportunity to lower the price. Anyway, no one else nearby except him could afford it. Those who could afford it, with If the phoenix's mouth is not close to each other, it will be inconvenient for planting and harvesting in autumn.
Old Man Xiao was not satisfied with the price when he heard it, so he asked Widow Liu to go and discuss it with Fatty Wang several times, but Fatty Wang didn't let go.
In the end, Old Man Xiao had no choice but to sell it at a low price.
After getting sixty taels of silver, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan packed their bags overnight, took fifty taels of silver, and followed the escort to the capital.
The family left ten taels of silver for Old Man Xiao to treat his waist and prepare two pregnant women for confinement.
Qiu Hong and Xie Yujiao were both more than seven months old. They both said that they were heavy and bulky. They ordered Widow Liu to serve this and that like a competition. In the first month, Widow Liu served two pregnant women alone, accompanied by an old man Xiao who had a back injury. They were tired. It's so annoying!
In the second month, Old Man Xiao was very happy. Not long after, before Xie Yujiao and Qiu Hong gave birth, Widow Liu became pregnant!
That's right! Just pregnant! From Old Man Xiao!
After enduring the humiliation for so long, Widow Liu finally felt proud and cheated with Old Man Xiao.
"You are most blessed to have a child when you are old. The sight of this child will make you happy. You will see that as soon as the child comes, you will be fine!"
The fourth child was sent to jail, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do well in school. God certainly can't bear that all your hard work has been in vain, so why not give you another son to take the top prize exam for you!
No matter how powerful the second child is, he is still a military commander, just in case something happens one day! Wouldn’t the official road of the Xiao family be cut off?
It's different when you have brothers! If you train them well in the future, they will be both civil and military, and they will have someone to take care of them in the court. From now on, the old Xiao family will officially enter the official career! "
Old Man Xiao was deceived by Widow Liu and smiled happily, his mouth reaching behind his ears. Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but there was wind under his feet when he walked. His whole person changed from the decadence he had returned from Tai'an Mansion, as if he was ten years younger. They even set up two banquet tables with great fanfare and carried Widow Liu to her aunt!
Xie Yujiao was about to give birth, and there was no one to take care of her. Not to mention, Widow Liu was able to raise the fetus in a decent manner!
When I come out and see her, I have to call her aunt!
Xie Yushu became so angry on the spot that everyone hurriedly carried her into the house and found the midwife.
But Xie Yujiao's anger was activated in advance, and it took two days of hard work before she gave birth to a little girl weighing six pounds.
With Mrs. Liu's baby in her belly, Old Xiao is not so enthusiastic about the grandson in Xie Yujiao's belly. Now he sees that the promised grandson has become his granddaughter again, and he doesn't care anymore. He doesn't care whether she does confinement or not. Yes, just ask Qiu Hong to bring her a meal and that’s it.
Her mother, Ma, and the others were still afraid that if Xiao Yuanhang was exiled and Xie Yujiao was sent home again, they didn't dare to stay longer. They took a few eggs here to look at and then left. Xie Yujiao had a good month this month, not to mention how miserable she was. .
On the other hand, Qiu Hong, who had been in a brothel, was better at weighing the pros and cons. Seeing that Mrs. Liu had gained power, she immediately flattered Mrs. Liu, making Mrs. Liu very happy. Not long after she gave birth to a son, Mrs. Liu unexpectedly also I go there often and find that the confinement procedure is much more comfortable than Xie Yujiao's.
However, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan arrived in the capital after a long journey, only to realize how big the capital was. After walking for two days, they still couldn't tell where it was. They were still asking about the princess's mansion all over the capital, but they didn't know at all that the whole house was occupied. Occupied.
At this time, no matter how chaotic the Xiao family was, Xie Yushu's life was as comfortable as it was. Not only did she not have these bugs jumping around in front of her eyes, she also gained an effective general - Sun Chongren!
Xie Yushu helped Sun Chongren and really didn't intend to ask him to repay him with anything. After all, he was at the free clinic at the time.
Moreover, Sun Chongren was a good reader. Now that his legs were almost healed, and with Mr. Cao's compensation, she thought he would continue to study and take the exams all the way.
As a result, Han Zhongyu killed Magistrate Liu and Xiao Yuanhang that day, and Sun Chongren and his son returned to their hometown to pay homage to his father, and they packed up their clothes and came to her!
I even signed the deed of sale myself and brought it with me!
In ancient times, there were indeed people who brought their families and property with them to seek refuge with dignitaries. She did not expect that she could become that person worth seeking refuge with. She felt a little complicated for a moment and couldn't help but confirm again and again.
"Have you really thought about it? If I accept this deed of betrayal, you will no longer be free. If you want to take the imperial examination, you won't have that status!"
