Mrs. Yi's excuse was such that Mrs. Wang saw the secret behind it, and she pretended to be angry with a straight face: "What's wrong, slave? Don't slaves marry and have children? Your son is a capable man, and other girls are lining up to get married. ." She asked again and again. Wang's statement was a bit exaggerated, but she knew that people in the village envied the Yi family's mother and son's dignity.
It is true that the Yi family was bought by Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming only claimed that the Yi family were her distant relatives. Although Liujia Village knew a little bit about it, no one dared to say a word in front of Xiao Ming, and no one said a word about Yi without respect. Mom, Yi Da is in charge.
Others may not know how much money Xiao Ming has, but she knows in her heart that Qingshan Courtyard was built by Xiao Ming with real money and silver. It provides students with free food and drink every day, and a dozen gentlemen perform monthly repairs. They and the cooks earn money every month, but the old man is in charge of the accounts. Every piece of money comes from Yi Feng.
If Xiao Ming didn't trust Yi Feng, would he let him handle so much money?
What's wrong with the servant? Don't think that she, a country girl, has never seen the world. Those high officials in the palace are all the emperor's servants. Some people are still crying and shouting about being slaves. Why is this? Because of money and status!
It has to be said that the Wang family has a new understanding of slave status because of Mother Yi's family.
No matter how rich the Xiao family is, people like them who are just scratching their heads will never be able to earn it in ten lifetimes. Any woman who can follow Yi Feng will have a blessed life. Mrs. Wang secretly lamented and lamented why her little girl hadn't spoken to Yi Feng, even if she just stood by the river for a while.
Liu Yu was given a free advantage for nothing. She got on the pole just to get a share of the matchmaker's money.
She had seen Guanshi Yi and Liu Yu talking together more than once. Although they stood far apart, with two people in between, this could not be hidden from the eyes of people who had come before her.
She was testing Yi's mother. If Yi Lang fell in love with his concubine and Yi's mother nodded, the marriage would be half successful. As for Xiao Ming, she had the shamelessness to say it. Xiao Ming was kind-hearted and would not object. Bar.
Mrs. Wang was very confident about Xiao Ming, but Liu Yu's mother was afraid that this upright woman would not be able to turn around.
"What do you think of Girl Liu Yu? It's also pitiful that Girl Yu has such an ex-marriage and her reputation has been unjustly ruined. We are all very knowledgeable people. Having watched her grow up, I dare say that she is the most beautiful girl in the whole village. She knows etiquette and rules, and she is kind and filial." Wang's compliment was a bit off-key. In her heart, she was her old daughter, and she just temporarily gave up her first position to Liu Yu!
Those matchmakers who come into her house to propose marriage, with big red flowers on their heads and their mouths wide open, praise others in the sky and on the earth, and make bad things good. They make up things just for money, and they are not real at all. .
She earns real money and is the conscience of the industry.
"Madam, please don't talk nonsense. Ms. Liu Yu is a good girl. She is as young as a delicate flower. It's a pity that my useless son is old and his status is not worthy of him." Mother Yi hurriedly shook her head and refused.
How can a son of a good family get married and the other is a slave of his master? It is inconsistent with etiquette and law.
Xiao Ming was kind to their family. Everything they had was given by Xiao Ming. Their family had long vowed to be loyal to the Xiao family for the rest of their lives. From the beginning to the end, she never thought about redeeming herself and leaving Xiao Ming. idea.
As for Liu Yu, alas~
Her misfortune made them pay more attention to her, and they couldn't bear the harm she suffered. She was still so young and had not had time to enjoy a beautiful life. She didn't want her to go down the road of no return.
Both mother and son have experienced the most difficult road in the world and know how difficult it is to walk, so she cares about her, sympathizes with her, and even has such thoughts, but this is ultimately a delusion. The gap in front of them is Differences in identity.
Sunshine always comes after the storm. I hope she will become stronger after this trial and have a better life.
And Yi Feng was ultimately just a passerby in her long life.
"What's wrong with this? Those old men in their seventies and eighties still want to marry a concubine. Don't you want to renew Yi Feng's string when he is in his prime? I'll go and tell Xiao Ming, she won't object." Wang became excited and walked a few steps, seemingly dissatisfied with Yi's mother's rejection.
Her money is going to fly away, how is this possible, how is this possible...
In the end, Yi's mother rejected Wang's kindness and walked away, leaving Wang with an anxious look on her face.
My money! Can't my little wish be fulfilled? ?
"No, we can't just give up on this matter." Wang slapped her palms together and made up her mind.
Entering the residence, Xiao Ming kicked everyone out of the Xiao family's study, leaving Xiao Yu alone.
Xiao Yu's big eyes flickered as he looked at his aunt who was lowering his head to read a book. Could it be that she discovered what he had done during the day and would he be punished?
"Aunt." After a while, Xiao Yu finally chose to be lenient if he confessed, and lenient if he resisted. He moved reluctantly and shouted with his mouth closed.
"Am I wrong? Don't be angry."
Xiao Ming looked up from the book, confused: "???"
Nani? What bad thing did you do again?
Seeing that his aunt didn't speak, Xiao Yu confirmed what he was thinking. He must have known about it. Huh, whoever made the complaint, I will not let him go. Xiao Yu thought in his heart, but confessed the stupid thing he did: "I will do it today." I used a slingshot to hit the two bad guys who insulted Tie Zhu and his sister. I was wrong, aunt, and I will never dare to do that again."
Uh~
Xiao Ming looked confused and looked at the medical book in her hand. Should she thank her for reading these two extra pages so that Xiao Yu could confess something she didn't know?
Good guy, he knows how to hit people with a slingshot.
It was so lawless. Facing the cautious Xiao Yu in front of her, she couldn't even feel angry.
Should she be happy or worried? What's gratifying is that he has learned to report injustices and do good things for his relatives. He understands the loyalty of good brothers at a young age, but what worries him is that he knows he is outmatched and acts recklessly.
If you don't know the enemy's strength and act recklessly just because of brotherly loyalty, the consequences will be serious.
Need to be taught well.
Closing the book, Xiao Ming pulled him to sit beside her, caressed his head, and said softly: "The road is uneven and some people step on it. You and Brother Tiezhu have a deep love. When your sister Yu is bullied, you stand up and fight against it." Evil man, one is brotherly loyalty, and the other is seeing injustice on the road, this is a just thing, it is the right thing, my aunt will not blame you, nor punish you."
Xiao Yu raised his head and looked at her after hearing this, his eyes lit up and he instantly became happy.
Auntie doesn't blame him or punish him.
"But, before you raised the slingshot, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? What will happen if someone finds out? What will happen to the injured person? Will he forgive you or choose to take revenge on you? , attack you, how can you withstand the power of an adult as a young person."
"In the face of absolute power, any move is useless."
