Now that Huang's daughter is getting married, the man is lying on the bed, and the money in her hand is gone, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is frightened now.
Therefore, even if Qin Xiang was not polite, her perfunctory words were enough to put Huang at ease.
"It's okay, don't move. It's cold today, and you're about to give birth!" He walked to the kang with a smile and greeted, and reached out to touch the purple mattress spread on the kang. It was warm and soft. Yes, very comfortable.
"Oh, I didn't expect Qin Xiang that you can live such a good life. You are so lucky. Your mother is also a lucky person."
Qin Xiang was speechless and smiled as she watched Huang sit firmly, but she did not put her feet up.
"Second aunt, you said you were serious, why did you go to the county government office in a daze? If we hadn't gone there today, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for you to come out properly. Who wanted to harm you and encouraged you to go to the county government office?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Huang was shocked. She thought about Qin Xiang's words carefully and repeated, "Who harmed me? Who encouraged me to go to the county government?"
Seeing that she didn't understand, Qin Xi smiled and said: "Second aunt, don't be anxious, let's think about it slowly; you went to the county government office early in the morning, so you must be hungry too, so you need to eat something to cushion your stomach. abdomen."
It was already past noon, and Qin Xiang had already eaten. At this time, he asked Qinggu and others to get some food for Huang.
Huang was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, but she was too panicked to notice it before.
When the maids came one after another with three plates of dishes and a bowl of rice, Huang's hands holding the chopsticks were shaking a little.
Looking at a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice, Huang smiled politely at Qin Xiang and asked, "Qin Xiang, aren't you going to eat?"
"I've eaten, second aunt please!"
In this case, Mrs. Huang was not polite. She picked up the bowls and chopsticks and stopped talking. The only sounds in the room were the clinking of bowls and chopsticks and chewing.
Qin Xiang touched the hand warmer in her hand and looked at Mr. Huang calmly.
After Mrs. Huang finished eating, the maid brought tea and took away the things on the table. Mrs. Huang felt completely comfortable and at ease. She even felt a little drowsy and her head was a mess.
Therefore, Huang answered almost everything Qin Xi asked. Although it was a bit confusing, he did not think too much and spoke it all instinctively.
She told Qin Xiang that someone came to her first and said that she could imitate Su Lao Er when he went to the county government to file a complaint. Xiao Chenyu was a judge and the county magistrate would not do anything to him. However, for the sake of face, Xiao Chenyu would Mr. Huang, please go back and entertain me well. Before leaving, you will definitely give him a lot of things like Su Laoer did before.
"I'm a timid person. I didn't want to go at first. It was just a casual chat when I went back to talk to your second uncle. However, your second uncle insisted that I go to the county government office."
When Mrs. Huang said this, her mind became clearer. She glanced at Qin Xiang shyly and said hurriedly: "If it weren't for your second uncle's instigation, by the way, there is also Tao Niang. That woman Tao Niang was also standing by and kept talking about home. There is nothing to eat and nothing to use, so I have to come here again.”
Qin Xiang pondered for a moment, sighed, and said: "The grievances and grievances between our two families are unclear, and I don't want to get involved. To be honest, I really wouldn't help my second aunt if she came directly to the door. "
"Then now" Mrs. Huang was a little anxious, and her brain that had just sobered up became cloudy again: "There is really no food at home. For the sake of relatives, please help me out!"
Qin Xi smiled and reassured Huang first, telling her not to be anxious.
Then, she seemed to be very curious and said: "Actually, I heard something before, but I don't know if it is true."
"What's going on?" Huang's gossipy mind took over.
"My servants went shopping and heard rumors that a group of bandits went to Fushui Town and got some food and twenty or thirty taels of silver. However, the family said they lost more than a hundred taels of silver. This group of bandits was in one place The brothel was drunk and couldn’t help but tell it.”
Huang's first reaction was to ask hurriedly: "Have these people been caught?"
"Of course I ran away!"
"Then" Mrs. Huang couldn't say anything, and it was impossible for the county government officials to chase people for such a thing in their family.
Seeing that Mrs. Huang still didn't think clearly, Qin Xiang pretended to be asking, but actually reminded: "Second aunt, how much money did your family lose?"
How much silver?
Now Huang finally returned to the topic, but she looked at Qin Xiang blankly and was speechless.
"How do I know how much money there is? Your second uncle never told me how much money he had. The money is all placed in Tao Niang's room, and I can't even see it."
"Tao Niang is just a concubine, how can I get ahead of you, my aunt?"
Qin Xiang frowned and was dissatisfied, but seemed to be very sympathetic to Mr. Huang: "Besides, it's hard to say who took the money!"
Huang also frowned and thought. Although she never liked Tao Niang, she regarded her as a member of her family. After all, she had given birth to children for the Su family, so she never thought that she would steal the money, even now , she still didn’t quite believe it, but she already had doubts in her heart.
"Second Aunt, there is one more thing I can't figure out. Why has Second Aunt never had a child after having a child with my cousin?"
Huang couldn't hold her head high in the Su family. The main reason was that she only had one daughter, so she had to endure Su Laoer and Tao Niang being disgusted in front of her.
"I don't know either. I've taken a lot of medicine and home remedies, but there's just no movement." Mrs. Huang also sighed, thought for a while and said: "Tao Niang came in and there was no movement for more than a year. At that time, I I’m still thinking, could it be the problem with that man in my family?”
One year was enough for Su Laoer to get a little tired of it, so he discussed with Mr. Huang that this Tao Niang was not fertile, so he might as well marry another one who was fertile.
But the family's conditions were barely enough to support one concubine, and it would be difficult to raise two concubines, so Huang proposed to let Tao Niang go and give her some money to send back to her parents' home.
A month later, before they could find a new fertile woman, Tao Niang became pregnant, which made Su Laoer extremely happy.
After ten months of pregnancy, a daughter was born. Su Lao Er was not too angry. At least it proved that Su Lao Er could give birth. It didn't matter if this one was a daughter. The next one would be a son. If Tao Niang couldn't do it, then marry another one. A woman is born again.
I don't know why, but Huang was in a lively conversation today. While drinking a fragrant drink and eating delicious cakes, she followed Qin Xi's questions and told her all the details about her family.
After Qin Xiang finished listening, she said again: "Auntie, I have a female doctor from Dancheng at home who specializes in treating women's diseases. How about asking her to help you find out why you can't give birth?"
Mrs. Huang opened her mouth wide: "I, I'm already old, why do I still care about this? Even if I watch carefully, it's useless. Your second uncle is paralyzed."
