As soon as the money-losing goods came out, Xie Xiuran realized that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
Grandpa Xie said angrily: "How presumptuous!"
Mrs. Gao trembled with fright. When she saw so many people in the room, she realized that she had been careless just now and shouldn't have spoken out loud.
"Dad, I, I was just angry with this kid, so I was in a hurry. I didn't mean it."
No one believed this, but at least they wouldn't dwell on her faults anymore.
Cheng Jingzhou snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with this aunt.
Grandpa Xie also knew that he had lost all his face today, so he simply said: "Okay, you heard what Sister Zhao just said. Return all the things you borrowed. Listen clearly, what I said is all!"
Grandpa Xie doesn’t want this to happen again.
It's really embarrassing.
Gao murmured twice, but finally did not dare to say anything more.
Grandma Xie glared at Xie Rongzhao gloomily, and then directed her gaze at Liu Ruolan.
"Ms. Liu, we have treated you well since you married into the Xie family. How could you let Sister Zhao talk nonsense in court? Now that Sister Rong is suffering, what will it do to the reputation of our Xie family? What’s the benefit? Ninety percent of our Xie family members are from the Xie clan. If there is such a commotion, what do you want the girls from other families to think?"
The old lady was an old lady after all, and her brain was so good that she could sweep a large area with the stick at once, spreading the hatred to the entire clan.
Liu Ruolan was furious, but she was her mother-in-law, and she couldn't contradict him in front of so many people.
"Auntie, I was outside at that time, and the county magistrate did not allow others to come to the court at will. I did not encourage Guobao to talk nonsense, but I just told her to tell the truth. After all, in court, if you lie to the adults, it will be a double crime. of."
Liu Ruolan's words pushed back the responsibility for the matter.
If Xie Rongrong hadn't lied, how could he have been detained for half a month?
After all, Xie Rongzhao was just telling the truth, so what was wrong with him?
Cheng Jingzhou defended: "There is no need for Grandma to accuse Auntie and Guabao unjustly. This matter was already a big deal at that time. Even if Guabao didn't say anything, the county magistrate knew it well. After all, because of Xie Rongrong's selfish interests, Deliberately sending clan members running all over the mountain is something that cannot be settled with just one mouthful."
The implication is that Xie Rongrong said this in front of many people at that time. Even if Xie Rongzhao lied and deceived him, who can guarantee that others will not tell the truth?
In the final analysis, Xie Rongrong made the mistake first.
Just because Xie Rongrong is a girl of the Xie family, she can't blame the person who told the truth if she made a mistake and was found out.
There is no such truth in the world!
How could the old patriarch and village chief not understand?
Even though this matter will affect the reputation of the Xie family, after all, they are not a family, but just relatives. Moreover, the person Xie Rongrong wanted to hurt was her cousin. No matter what, this fault should not be pushed to Xie Rongzhao.
"Okay, this matter is entirely Xie Rongrong's fault. Don't put the blame on Sister Zhao. She is still just a child, and she was shocked by this incident. In the end, she is the one who suffered. . No matter how partial you are in getting married, you can't be indifferent to right from wrong!"
These words were obviously aimed at Grandma Xie, and they were very serious.
After hearing this, the old lady was still thinking of saying a few words, but was interrupted by Mr. Xie.
"Boy from the Cheng family, you just said you wanted to give Sister Zhao an explanation, but what else do you have in mind?"
Cheng Jingzhou did have some thoughts at first, but now it seems that even if he comes back to get some benefits for Sister Zhao, he will have to be taken away by this old witch sooner or later.
In this case, it is better to think of ways to calculate some more profitable benefits.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I don't dare to have any thoughts. It's just that my mother feels sorry for my baby. She cried so much that her eyes were swollen when she saw her baby was frightened. Before I came out this time, my mother had told me to take care of my baby. I took her to my home to stay for a while, firstly to help her get well, and secondly, to invite an enlightened monk to my home, hoping that he would calm the baby's fears."
Xie Rongzhao is only a five-year-old child. Generally speaking, children are prone to falling ill after being frightened.
For example, a common one is fever, and some even talk nonsense.
Cheng Jingzhou said this now because he hoped to bring Guobao to live in the county in an open and honest manner in front of everyone.
Grandpa Xie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay. Your mother has to worry about it too."
"Thank you for being polite. I was originally entrusted by my uncle to take good care of my baby. This time, it's my fault that I failed to take good care of her."
After Cheng Jingzhou finished speaking, he met Liu Ruolan's somewhat worried eyes and said with a smile: "If Auntie is worried, you can go with me. Guobao has someone familiar with you, so I believe he can recover faster. "
Grandpa Xie is not stupid, so he naturally heard the implication of his words.
Now that something like this has happened, Cheng Jingzhou is no longer worried about letting his mother and daughter live in Xie's house.
Forget it, let’s just be good people and do it to the end!
"Daughter-in-law Xiuwen, if you are worried, you can stay with us for a few days, but the time should not be too long."
"Yes, Dad."
Liu Ruolan was happy in her heart. As long as she could see Guabao, she could live anywhere.
Even if things are settled like this.
No matter how unwilling Xie Xiuran and Mr. Gao were, they could only give back what they had forgotten.
Grandma Xie was determined to protect her, so she took the two pieces of fine silk away and told the public that they were given to her by Liu Ruolan as a filial piety.
In this case, Liu Ruolan was naturally embarrassed to come back.
When Mr. Xie found out about this, he didn't get angry anymore. She knew his old wife's temperament very well.
When Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao arrived at Cheng's house, they were naturally warmly entertained by Mrs. Cheng.
However, Liu Ruolan also knew in her heart that it was really inconvenient for her to live with Cheng's family now, so she asked Mrs. Cheng to ask the master to help recite the scriptures first, so that Xie Rongzhao could take care of himself.
Two days later, Liu Ruolan saw that Guabao showed no signs of fever, and felt reassured, so she thought about going back first.
Cheng Jingzhou didn't let her go back, but took her to Xiangxiang Braised Vegetable Restaurant first.
That's Liu Ruolan's property, so it's natural to go and have a look to feel more at ease.
When Liu Laoer learned that his niece was almost kidnapped, he was naturally very angry.
But thinking about the fact that my sister and niece still have to live in Xie's house, it's hard to make things too tense.
Old Mrs. Liu was still smart, so she simply spent five taels of silver to buy a widow, and asked her to take care of Liu Ruolan and give her a few words of advice.
These days, a human life is worth less than an acre of land.
Especially this was a slave who was kicked out after committing a crime.
When Grandma Xie and Mrs. Gao saw that Liu Ruolan had brought a slave back, their expressions changed involuntarily.
