Another ten days passed.
Xiao Mu and Xiao Changhe went to the mountain.
The star anise on the mountain has long been ripe.
Two people went to move the last batch down the mountain this time.
The chicken sheds, rabbit sheds, and pig sheds built by the Xiao family have all been dried.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Xu Zhengxiang took his children and moved all the livestock at home.
The rabbits from the previous litter have grown to half full size.
There are black, yellow, floral, white and other colors inside.
Ye Luoxin took matters into her own hands and locked the white rabbits together, while the rabbits of other colors were locked in another shed.
"Sister-in-law, what's the difference between these two?" Xiao Jing had a rest today and helped Ye Luoxin catch rabbits.
"White rabbits are rare. I keep these pure-colored rabbits together and let them produce white offspring as much as possible. These rabbits can be sold at a high price in the future."
"So that's it!" Xiao Ding nodded.
He especially enjoys spending time with his sister-in-law now.
In school, I studied the Four Books and Five Classics with my husband, and learned about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust.
At home, I learned from my sister-in-law how to eat better and how to earn more.
He found both of these useful.
…
Other livestock have moved their nests.
Xu Cai went out to let the geese go and he still didn't come back.
After he comes back and puts the gosling into a new nest, all the things for today are done.
At this time, Xu Cai was lying on the grass, holding dogtail grass in his mouth, squinting at the mountains in the distance.
He has been back for so long, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu have never come back to send news.
I don’t know how dad’s affairs are going?
While he was lost in thought, a goose came to him and pecked his hair twice.
Xu Cai immediately stood up and looked at the goslings: "Are you full? Let's go home when we are full!"
He clasped his hands behind his back and walked home leisurely.
Ten goslings followed him, their necks bulging, and they walked forward leisurely and twisted their buttocks.
When he was approaching the door of Xu's house, Xu Cai suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.
The man wanted to knock on the door, but seemed hesitant.
He took two steps forward and then returned to where he was.
"Dad?" Xu Cai said uncertainly.
The man turned around.
It was Xu Zishang.
It’s no wonder Xu Cai couldn’t see it.
Xu Zishang used to always wear silk and satin, and always wear a soft turban hat on his head. He looked gentle and elegant.
But now Xu Zishang is dressed in civilian clothes, his hair is only fixed with a wooden hairpin, and his face is full of vicissitudes of life.
Apart from his stance and demeanor, there is no trace of his past appearance.
When Xu Zishang saw Xu Cai, he was also shocked.
His son, who used to be idle and spend money like water, is now wearing an ill-fitting cloth with two patches on it.
The amazing thing is that there is a team of white geese behind him.
The leading white goose saw Xu Cai stop, lowered his head and pecked his legs twice, then flapped his wings and squawked loudly, as if urging him to go faster.
Xu Cai looked back at Bai Goose, then turned to look at Xu Zishang.
There was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Dad, are you back?"
"Yeah! I'm back!"
Xu Zhengxiang heard the squawking of geese in the yard and knew that it was Xu Cai who had returned. He quickly came over to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the father and son standing at the door, talking a few meters away.
"Why don't you come in and talk? Come in quickly!" Xu Zhengxiang greeted.
The father and son then walked into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Zishang asked Xu Cai to kneel down and thank the Xiao family for taking him in.
"I'm really annoying you all."
"Hey, why are you so polite? Get the child up quickly." Xu Zhengxiang said.
Xu Zishang did not let Xu Cai get up, but continued: "Thanks to the care of the Xiao family during this period, I involved the Xiao family in this incident for no reason, and I feel very guilty. I hope to get your understanding. .”
Xu Zhengxiang was still very dissatisfied when he mentioned that he had involved the Xiao family for no reason.
She snorted and said: "Since you know that this thing is not done properly, what else can you say? Just compensate us more."
Xu Zishang's face turned red: "Sister-in-law is right! Such a favor should be compensated in any amount."
He paused and continued: "It's just that although Xu has come back this time, all his family property has been confiscated. How about Xu write an IOU, no matter how much, and I will definitely return it to my sister-in-law one day."
Although Xu Zhengxiang saw that he was dressed in shabby clothes, she did not expect that all his property would be confiscated.
He asked anxiously: "What's going on? Aren't you being wronged? Why are your property confiscated?"
Xu Zishang sighed: "Hey, it's a long story."
"If this is a long story, I'll say it slowly. You sit in the courtyard for a while, and I'll make tea."
Xu Zhengxiang went in to make tea, and Xiao Changhe sat with Xu Zishang in the yard.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Changhe couldn't help but sigh.
The last time they met, Xu Zishang was a wealthy businessman. This time, he became a penniless pauper.
Things in this world are changing too fast.
Although Xu Cai had been mentally prepared before.
But when he heard that his father had become a pauper, he still felt sour in his heart.
It's over, there's really nothing left now.
But fortunately, my father is back, which is barely the best comfort.
After a cup of tea, Xu Zishang began to tell the Xiao family what happened these days.
"More than ten days ago, Mr. Shen avoided the reception of the governor of Anchang Prefecture and took a small road directly to Qinghe County. That night, people surrounded the Xu family's house and his family's villa in the south of the city."
"But what did you find?" Xu Zhengxiang asked.
"It is said that agates, which are abundant in southern Xinjiang, were unearthed in the main residence of the Xu family. Jade, which is abundant in northern Xinjiang, was unearthed. Dozens of stones of fine salt were unearthed in his family's villa."
"So many?" The Xiao family were all shocked.
"That's not all!" Xu Zishang continued: "It is said that a cargo ship at the riverside dock is full of fine salt that his family is preparing to ship out. There are thousands of kilograms of fine salt."
Xiao Jing blinked: "Isn't his home a literary and entertainment place? I even went to his home to see an inkstone, which is valuable!"
"Originally, everyone thought so. But when the incident came out, everyone realized that his family's art, calligraphy and painting business was fake, and he had actually been smuggling illicit salt secretly.
His family's private salt has been sold to southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang and the northwest. This matter may involve many people in Beijing. "
"By the way." Hearing this, Ye Luoxin seemed to remember something, "I heard that he reported you for selling illegal salt. Why did he do this? What grudges do you have between you?"
Ye Luoxin has never been able to figure this out.
According to Xu Cai, the Xu family has some friendship with the Xu family. Even if there are some festivals, the Xu family still enjoys the dividends from Xu Ji.
If it weren't for special reasons, he would not frame the Xu family.
"I didn't understand it at first."
Xu Zishang sighed, but I suddenly thought of something last night. Six months ago, Xu Zhongyuan came to me to discuss buying Xu Ji from me.
I didn't agree.
Later, he asked someone to ask me several times.
I was sternly rejected every time.
Now that I think about it, he must have been thinking about my restaurant from that time on.
Zuohua: It’s late again today! Ye Luoxin and his wife have completed 80% of the progress of conquering the helpers who make money. Are you bored?
In addition, thank you for the five-star reviews from so many babies! I have deeply realized the problem of typos! Try to avoid it in the future.
If you find anything, you can leave me a comment, and I will follow the comments to make changes in the future! Love you!
