"As a woman, I panicked when I heard this. When I called Chang Geng, the housekeeper threw us a bag of silver without saying anything."
"The man who looks like a housekeeper said that he has fifty taels of silver in his wallet and asked my family to use it to buy land and a cow. The remaining money will be used to marry Xiaoyu and her brother."
"Let us control Xiaoyu and stop pestering their young master."
"Neither Chang Geng nor I understood what he meant. He said that their young master is Ning Su from the Ning family in Qing'an County."
"The housekeeper said that Ning Su and his cousin, Miss Han, have been engaged since they were children. The engagement ceremony will be held in the next few days."
"They gave us fifty taels of silver and told my Xiaoyu not to pester his Ning Su anymore, oh oh oh..."
Osmanthus couldn't talk anymore, so she lay on the table and cried.
Mrs. Sun comforted her softly on the side. To be honest, she didn't know where to start with her words of comfort.
Dayun was a little more impatient and asked Guihua: "What's next? How's it going? Brother Chang Geng is probably angry after being slapped in the face like this?"
Guihua raised her head and sobbed: "Well, Chang Geng drank a few more glasses of wine at noon. When he heard these words, he became angry."
"Chang Geng directly smashed the fifty taels of silver at the steward's feet and pushed him out of our yard."
"When the housekeeper left, he also dropped his harsh words and said that the Ning family was doing courtesy first and then fighting."
"If my daughter still dares to pester Ning Su, they will, they will..."
Thinking of the cruel words spoken by the housekeeper, Guihua was angry and scared. She couldn't say any more and sat there with snot and tears.
Dayun scolded him, "What's wrong with being rich? Is it great to be rich?"
"That's awesome. People like us don't have to worry about food and drink in the countryside. The money is spent well. Brother Chang Geng has the backbone!" Dayun said.
But Osmanthus sighed and said: "Chang Geng has the backbone, but Xiao Yu doesn't live up to expectations!"
"It's okay that our two old faces are worthless. Xiaoyu's reputation has been ruined. Who knows the inside story? Who dares to marry my Xiaoyu in the future? Wuwuwu..." Guihua cried again.
Mrs. Sun sighed and sat there shaking her head, "Although we didn't stay with that kid Ning Su for a long time, we met each other a few times and had dinner once."
"That kid Ning Su shouldn't be like this. Is there any twists and turns here?" said Sun.
Dayun said: "My butler has already come to my door, what else can I do to go around?"
The three women were sighing there, and Yang Ruoqing stood aside with a frown on her face.
Great joy, no matter how great sadness, is enough for this girl Xiaoyu to endure.
Poor Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Guihua, they have to suffer this kind of insult for nothing.
But, Ning Su, he really...
"Boom!"
In the west room, there was suddenly the sound of a stool falling to the ground.
The women in the hall were shocked and looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"not good!"
Yang Ruoqing suddenly spoke up, put aside her words, turned around and rushed to the door of the west room.
He found that the door to the west room that had been left ajar now was bolted from the inside, "Xiao Yu, open the door!"
Yang Ruoqing shouted, and Guihua, Sun, and the others gathered around.
"What's going on?" Guihua and the others asked in a panic.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Everyone, get out of the way!"
Then, she raised her foot and kicked the door of the west room violently. The door fell to the ground, and Yang Ruoqing was the first to rush in.
The scene in the room shocked her.
A belt was hung under the roof beam. The belt was tied into a knot. Xiaoyu put his head in it, and his whole body was hanging in the air under the roof beam.
"You silly girl!"
Yang Ruoqing shouted, rushing up to hug Xiaoyu's legs from underneath and lifting her up.
Osmanthus had long been so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Sun and Dayun reacted quickly and followed her. The three of them worked together to remove Xiaoyu from the noose and lay her flat on the bed.
"Xiaoyu, my son..."
Osmanthus cried and shouted, staggering to the bedside.
Chang Geng and others in the east room were also alerted, and they all rushed into the west room.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chang Geng was also dumbfounded and rushed to the bed, the man's voice choked with sobs.
"My daughter, my daughter!"
"Uncle Chang Geng, please give way and I will come to the rescue!" Yang Ruoqing came over and pushed Chang Geng aside.
Then, she leaned down and pinched Xiaoyu's philtrum.
A heart-piercing pain hit her, Xiaoyu snorted and finally opened her eyes.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Xiao Yu, my daughter..."
"Xiaoyu, my daughter, if the sky falls, your parents will still support you, why are you seeking death?"
Aunt Guihua slapped Xiaoyu's body hard, crying and scolding.
"Are you a ghost or something? Do you want us white-haired people to send black-haired people to you?"
"If you have a problem, how do you want me and your father to deal with it? You are going to kill us!"
Aunt Guihua cried so hard that she was out of breath. Chang Geng also squatted aside, first raising his hands and holding his head while crying.
Later, he simply raised his hand and slapped his face, starting to work from side to side, and the slap was so loud that it shook the sky.
"It's me who's useless, it's me who's useless. If you want to die, let me die. God, please don't torment my daughter!"
"Uncle Chang Geng, don't do this!"
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and held Chang Geng's hand to prevent him from harming himself.
Then, she turned to look at Xiaoyu who had woken up on the bed.
"Xiao Yu, did you hear that? Even if the sky falls, you still have your parents and us,"
"There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. You really shouldn't do such stupid things. You are so confused!"
Hearing the reprimand from her best friend Yang Ruoqing, Xiaoyu felt extremely ashamed.
She got out of bed and knelt on the ground, "Father, mother, it's my daughter who is unfilial and confused, wuwuwu..."
Osmanthus stretched out her hand to hold Xiaoyu in her arms, and the two of them cried together.
Yang Huazhong and Sun were waiting on the side to persuade him in various ways.
After a while, Xiao Yu was probably really tired of crying and tossing around, so she fell asleep in Osmanthus fragrans' arms.
"You go to the main room to talk. I'll guard her in the room." Osmanthus said.
After the previous hanging incident, Guihua did not dare to let Xiaoyu sleep alone in the house anymore.
Everyone else also knew what Guihua was worried about, and everyone voluntarily exited the West Room, leaving Guihua to accompany Xiaoyu in the room.
In the hall, Chang Geng's face was full of sorrow. The man sat there with a depressed look on his face, as if he had aged by more than ten years.
On the side, Yang Huazhong turned his eyes to Yang Ruoqing for help.
"Qing'er, you and Xiao Yu are good sisters, and Uncle Chang Geng also watched you grow up."
"At this moment, we are all confused. What do you think of this matter? How should it end?" Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing paid attention to this.
Chang Geng and Daniu also looked at Yang Ruoqing expectantly.
Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "If I don't worry about the elders being angry, it's not that I turned my elbow outward. Based on my understanding of Ning Su, I think there is something fishy about this matter!" ( .
