The Fang family was so powerful that even the Cheng family in the county did not dare to challenge them head-on. If there was another Song family, they might be able to give it a try.
After all, Mr. Fang's brother-in-law is an official in Fucheng. He is from the fourth rank. This official position is not low.
The magistrate of Gaoyang County is the seventh rank, which is several levels behind.
After Xie Xiuran received the order, he would naturally discuss it with the old man and the old lady after returning.
Grandma Xie didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, she had long disliked that dead girl, so she had sent her out earlier so that she could have some peace and quiet.
But Grandpa Xie thought more.
This year the second child will be in autumn, what if he wins?
Once he wins the title of Juren, it will be like leaping over the dragon gate and completely becoming a master of the upper class. If it is rumored that his daughter was sent to people to prevent disasters, it will be detrimental to his reputation anyway.
"This is inappropriate. Don't you have any contact with the Fang family anymore? Why are you still helping the Fang family run errands?"
Although Grandpa Xie is partial, he is not stupid.
After all, he has experienced success and knows what can and cannot be done.
When I first learned that the Fang family was looking for someone to marry them, just to protect their children from disaster, they realized that the water was too muddy to mix with.
But he didn't expect that his eldest son, whom he valued most, would fall headlong into it.
Are you crazy about money?
"Dad, the Fang family is very powerful. If they come to me, there is nothing I can do. I have tried to deal with it several times before, but this time I really have no choice, so I came to you and your elders. If we don't agree, If the Fang family comes by force, we won't be able to recruit them."
Grandpa Xie disagreed: "How is it possible? No matter what, Sister Zhao is also the daughter of a scholar family, and she is engaged to the Cheng family. You are out of your mind, thinking that the Cheng family will let you mess with their family. A virgin daughter-in-law?"
Xie Xiuran choked and really forgot about the Cheng family.
Previously, Cheng Juren was just a gentleman from the county school, but now he has become a county magistrate. He is also a serious and high-ranking person, wearing official robes.
Not only him, but also the Liu family.
The eldest son of the Liu family is now the county magistrate of the county government, and he is also a serious and high-ranking person. Is he the eighth grade or from the eighth grade? Anyway, he is getting a salary from the imperial court, and he holds real power in his hands.
If Xie Rongzhao is really touched, the Liu family will definitely not let him go.
And the most terrible thing right now is that the Fang family is putting pressure on the Xie family, hoping that the Xie family will take the initiative to send people there.
Xie Ronglan was not worried: "Dad, there is no need to be so nervous. If my second uncle asks about it in the future, just say that it was the Fang family who forced us. Besides, whether it is Cheng Juren or Liu Xiancheng, in front of the eldest man of the Fang family , what does it count as?"
This is true.
Xie Xiuran was finally no longer so anxious now, "Let me tell my second brother and sister about this first. Sister Zhao is still living in the Cheng family. Even if she is sent to the Fang family, she has to be deceived first and then we can talk about it." ?”
The Xie family is willing to protect the second wife, that is, Xie Laosan's family. Currently, Xie Laosan is busy in the shop, and Xie Rongen is also sent out to do work. There is only one Wang family, so he can't make any trouble.
Xie Xiuran discussed with the two elders and decided to ground Mrs. Liu first, and then use Mrs. Liu's illness as an excuse to trick her back.
Mrs. Wang also accidentally learned about this matter from Xie Rongxuan. After a little thought, she knew that this matter was going to be a big deal, so she hurriedly found an opportunity to find the village chief's house, and then asked someone to deliver a message to the Liu family.
Wang is smart. Since the Xie family deceived Xie Rongzhao to come back because Liu was ill, what's wrong with her using the same reason to deceive the Liu family?
Anyway, it won't be her who will be in trouble then.
Xie Rongzhao was naturally a little anxious when she got the news that her mother was sick, but she was not really a child, so she sent someone to the shop first, told her third uncle about the matter, and then thought about going back with him. Xie family.
However, the person who came to deliver the message was very anxious. He said that Liu was seriously ill and insisted that Xie Rongzhao go back with him immediately.
If he didn't urge him, Xie Rongzhao would probably believe it.
But after he urged him like this, Xie Rongzhao became suspicious.
"Uncle, I look a little unfamiliar with you. I wonder which uncle you are from?"
Xie Rongzhao was not lying. She looked familiar to this person, but she couldn't remember which family he belonged to.
The visitor is from the same clan as Xie Changgui, and he is Xie Changgui's cousin. He has been lazy since he was a child and doesn't like to work. This time, he accepted Xie Xiuran's two taels of silver as a benefit, so he came to take him back.
"You don't recognize me? Then do you know my Erhuzi? I am Erhuzi's father."
Xie Rongzhao then looked like he suddenly realized: "It turns out to be uncle. It was my niece who made a slip of the tongue just now. Please don't blame uncle."
Erhuzi's father quickly said: "No wonder, niece, let's go back now."
"Uncle, please go back first. I have already sent a message to my third uncle. We will go back together later. It just so happens that we have to go to the medical clinic first to pick up a doctor."
No one can find fault with this statement.
This little girl is filial, but if you say her mother-in-law is sick, she has even thought of calling a doctor, so what else can you say?
In this way, Erhuzi's father failed to pick him up, but he still went to squat in the corner with a happy face.
Why?
Anyway, he delivered the letter, and Xie Rongzhao also said he would go back, so his mission was considered completed.
When Xie Laosan heard that his second sister-in-law was seriously ill, he felt a little strange.
After all, when he went back the day before yesterday, his second sister-in-law was fine, able to eat and sleep, so how could she be sick?
On the way back, Xie Laosan expressed his doubts. After hearing this, Xie Rongzhao became more doubtful about this matter.
Are you so eager to deceive yourself back? Could it be that you are trying to trick her again?
Suddenly, Xie Rongzhao thought of the little girl from the Fang family who died tragically before. Could it be that the uncle was thinking of sending her to the Fang family again?
This can't happen!
When Xie Rongzhao realized this, they had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
It is no longer possible for her to go to Liujiacun.
"Uncle Third, that car looks familiar!"
Xie Laosan lifted the curtain and took a look: "Oh, is that your third uncle?"
When he heard that someone from the Liu family was coming, Xie Rongzhao was not only not worried, but actually felt at ease.
When Xie Rongzhao entered the door and saw Liu Ruolan lying on the bed with a pale face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Ruolan smiled bitterly: "I'm fine. I just ate the wrong thing and damaged my stomach. I just need to rest. It's not a big deal. Why did I call you back?"
Liu Laosan also happened to come in. When he heard this, he frowned and said, "But the Xie family sent a message that you were seriously ill, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to rush here in a hurry."
Xie Rongzhao nodded and said: "Yes, the clan uncle also said that you are very ill and you have to ask me to come back."
