Chapter 354: The Unexpected
Xia Zhi immediately understood that what Second Uncle Xia wanted to tell her several times should be this matter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Mrs. Xia stopped Old Man Xia and Second Uncle Xia from letting them talk to Xia Zhi, it should be because of this incident.
Mrs. Xia should have wanted Xia Zhi to be prepared first. And the summer solstice was already sensitively aware that something might be going on. She also wanted to know a little bit about the situation before making plans.
Now these children are here to report the situation to her. They are not as secretive as adults talking.
"What do they want to learn french fries?" asked Xia Zhi.
Layue hurriedly replied: "...... At the beginning, they came to us, and they were all watching what we were doing, and they asked this and that. Sister, we haven't forgotten what you told us. French fries are a secret ingredient that no one can let you see or tell you. β
Although Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San are very honest and embarrassed, they still keep their principles on this issue.
After that, Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia had no choice, so they went to Old Man Xia to tell their thoughts.
"It's a good thing to say, why don't you want to eat for nothing, but also help with the work. He also said that my father and mother were too tired, and they came to help, so that my father, mother, me, Xiaoshu'er and Xiaolinzi could rest. β¦β¦ They don't have that kind heart, they just watch us work and earn money. β
Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia wanted to learn key techniques, but Old Man Xia didn't agree to them immediately. Old Man Xia first arranged for Second Uncle Xia's family to help with some chores.
The chores were trivial, dirty and tiring.
At first, Second Uncle Xia and their performance was not bad, but it took a little longer, Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia didn't mean to let them learn key skills, Second Uncle Xia's family could cope with it on the surface, but when no one was watching, they slacked off.
Because of this, they almost had an accident when they set up a stall in Layue.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't tell you when I wrote the letter, for fear that you would be worried and in a hurry. La Yue finally told Xia Solstice. "By the way, Guo Yuhuan is also sneaky~ touching, I want to learn our french fries secretly!"
Before Layue finished speaking, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xialin couldn't help it, and you talked about the affairs of Second Uncle Xia's family and Guo Yuhuan's family one by one.
"Sister, if our master told you, would you agree?" Layue asked Xia Zhi very carefully.
"What did you promise?" Xia Zhi asked deliberately.
"Promise to let the second uncle learn French fries. Layue said.
"What do you mean?" Xia Zhi didn't express his position immediately, but asked Layue what he thought, "What do the third uncle and third aunt think?"
Layue pouted: "What else can my father and my mother say, they say they all listen to our grandfather." I don't like them to learn from me. Sister, it's not me who dominates the groove. The second uncle is not an honest person, they have learned, and they don't know what to do. "What Layue means, Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia have learned to fry French fries, but I am afraid that they will have plans to start a new stove.
In addition, if someone lures them with money, it is estimated that these two people can still sell the secret recipe for french fries.
"Don't let them learn. Xiao Shu'er said more simply," ...... Those who are lazy and greedy in Fucheng will let them farm. β
"Uh-huh. Xiao Xia Lin couldn't say so much, so he nodded again and again, looking at Xia Solstice with big eyes flickering.
Summer solstice smiles. Although Xiao Shu'er and Layue's words were a little naΓ―ve, they coincided with her general thoughts. "Let me think about it. Well, okay, Layue, Xiaoshu'er, I think you both said it very well. I listen to you. β
Originally, it was Xia Zhi's decision, but when she said this, it was as if she had listened to Xiao Shu'er and Layue's opinions.
Xia Zhi did this on purpose, not to shirk responsibility or anything in the future. She just wants to cultivate Xiaoshu'er and Layue, so that they can be more confident and assertive in the future.
Sure enough, Layue and Xiao Shu'er both had big smiles on their faces when they heard Xia Zhi's words. Xiao Shu'er was triumphant, but Layue was a little embarrassed.
"Fourth sister, there's still me, there's still me. Xiao Xia Lin heard that Xia Zhi didn't mention him, so he was anxious.
"Yes, and our little Xia Lin's vote. Our little Xia Lin's vote is also important. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Xia Lin giggled, dancing happily.
"Sister, let's make up our minds, I'm afraid our master won't be happy. Layue was still a little cautious, she looked left and right, and then lowered her voice and said to Xia Zhi mysteriously, "Don't look at our grandfather always talking about the second uncle, our grandfather hurts the second uncle in his heart." β
Xia Solstice couldn't help but laugh. "Then let's convince our master. β
"Hmm. Layue, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin all nodded, and so far they reached a united front with Xia Zhi.
After saying this, Xia Zhi chatted with Layue a few times, and at the same time took a burden and opened it. She rummaged through the baggage, picked out a handkerchief, two head ropes, and a thin silver hairpin and gave it to Layue. Then, she took out another box of fine snacks and asked Layue and Xiao Xialin to take them back and eat them.
This is in addition to the things that are distributed to everyone, the summer solstice body has been given to Layue and Xiao Xialin.
Layue and Xiao Xialin were very happy. In fact, when Xia Zhi gave them benefits in front of the big guys in the backyard, they knew that Xia Zhi was closer to them, and now Xia Zhi showed his bias more obviously.
At this point, things are secondary.
"Sister. Layue and Xiao Xia Lin shouted Sister Xia Zhi in unison, and Xia Lin happily coquettished with Xia Zhi.
Xiao Shu'er looked a little uncomfortable beside him.
Xia Zhi naturally saw it, she smiled secretly in her heart, and took out a box of fine snacks and gave it to Xiao Shu'er. She also told Xiao Shu'er that in addition to the two rulers she gave Tian in the backyard, she also had good rulers here to make new clothes and shoes for Xiao Shu'er.
The little tree was also happy. "My grandmother has made us new cotton clothes and shoes. β
"Didn't our mother do it?" asked Xia Zhi.
"At first, my mother did it, but then it wasn't...... Is there an accident with that, our mother will have no time. It's still our grandmother, and Sister Lanzi made it for me. Little Shu'er told Xia Solstice.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi asked, "Is it the eldest sister's business?"
"Sister, how can you guess that's right!" the little tree sighed.
"What's wrong with the eldest sister?" Xia Zhi glanced in the direction of the East House, and then asked.
"Fat Liu doesn't want her anymore. Xiao Shu'er laughed twice, and there was no sympathy in her demeanor and tone.
Such a complicated thing is something that Layue and Xiaoshu'er can't understand. Fortunately, Sun Lan'er came over at this time. Xia Zhi remembered the matter of the eldest girl in his heart, and he didn't greet Sun Lan'er, so he asked Sun Lan'er if she knew.
Sun Lan'er nodded, she knew very much about the eldest girl.
"It's miserable. Sun Lan'er was very embarrassed, and then told Xia Zhi the ins and outs of the matter.
To make a long story short, shortly after Xia Zhi left Daxingzhuang to go to Fucheng, the eldest girl confirmed that she was pregnant. She was young, and it was the first time she was pregnant~ pregnant, and she was also disappointed that she had a plan in her heart, and she was calm, and finally confirmed that she was pregnant~ pregnant, but she didn't tell Liu Fatzi to know.
The eldest girl didn't tell Tian either.
In fact, she may be able to explain if she doesn't tell Liu Fatzi, but at this time, it is a bit unbelievable that she does not find the nearest aunt to confirm and discuss.
But the eldest girl has a reason for doing this.
The eldest girl hid her pregnancy~ pregnancy to death, but secretly found someone to send a letter to her mother's family. Old man Tian received the news and immediately asked his wife Wang and daughter-in-law Jiang to come over to see the eldest girl.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent. When they saw the eldest girl and confirmed that the eldest girl was indeed pregnant, they carried Liu Fatzi on their backs and brought the eldest girl back to the backing mountain.
When he left, he didn't make a noise, but when he returned to the backer Tun'er, the old man Tian let out a rumor and told Liu Fatzi that the eldest girl was pregnant, and it seemed that it must be a male fetus, and asked Liu Fatzi to go to the backer Tun'er to pick up the eldest girl.
Xia Zhi frowned when he heard this.
Where is this to let Liu Fatzi go to the backer Tun'er to pick up the eldest girl, it is obviously to let Liu Fatzi prepare enough money to go to the backer Tun'er to redeem the eldest girl and the child in the belly of the eldest girl.
That's right, Xia Solstice uses such words to describe this matter. She already knows a lot about Old Man Tian and the deeds of the Tian family, and she will never mistake them.
What Sun Lan'er said later also confirmed that Xia Zhi's opinion was not wrong.
Of course, at that time, Old Man Tian would not say it so bluntly, and Old Man Tian chose very decent wording. Liu Fatzi placed the eldest girl in the town, and there were no female elders at home to take care of him. The eldest girl is young, and it is the first time she is pregnant~ pregnant, and the Tian family is afraid that the eldest girl will have any mistakes, so they take the eldest girl back to her parents' house to take care of her.
Liu Fatzi was not fooled by such words. When he received the news, he immediately understood what the people of the Tian family meant.
Naturally, Liu Fatzi was not too happy. But this child is what he has been looking forward to for most of his life, and he can't give it up no matter what. Therefore, Liu Fatzi took the money to pick up the eldest girl in Tun'er.
Liu Fatzi is so knowledgeable, why did something happen later? Xia Zhi asked Sun Lan'er.
Sun Lan'er sighed: "The eldest girl's family wants a lot of money." β
To put it simply, it is the lack of human hearts and swallowing elephants. Old man Tian relied on the child in the belly of the big girl and opened his mouth to Liu Fatzi Lion. The amount he wants is very huge even for Liu Fatzi.
Sun Lan'er didn't have a specific number, but only told Xia Zhi that it should be half of Liu Fatzi's entire family wealth, and it was already four figures.
If it was one hundred and eighty taels of silver, Liu Fatzi might grit his teeth and take it out. But to come up with a four-figure sum of silver, Liu Fatzi had to raise money. On the one hand, he didn't say anything about his original wife, and on the other hand, Liu Fatzi couldn't come up with so much silver at that time.
Fat Liu is in a hurry, but Old Man Tian is not in a hurry.
Not only was he not in a hurry, but he also made long-term plans in his heart. Half of Liu Fatzi's family wealth can only satisfy him temporarily, and he has put forward several conditions one after another.
For example, a big mansion in Linshui Town is bigger than the one where the big girl lives now. In addition, they also asked Liu Fatzi to buy a shop for Tian Dabao, if it was the best location in Linshui Town, no matter what business he did, he would not lose money.
Liu Fatzi saw that although the old man Tian opened his mouth, he did not mean to buy and sell with a hammer. This is to make him a fat sheep, and to squeeze out his money continually.
Liu Fatzi is a person with a good temper, but he is also a businessman after all. How could he do such a loss. And in the final analysis, the eldest girl is not the wife and concubine he is marrying, the eldest girl is what he bought back to have a child.
Now that the child has a big girl, he should be born alive, instead of working with his mother's family to extort his money.
Liu Fatzi was also angry with the big girl at first, but later he figured it out and planned to fight for the big girl. And the eldest girl seemed to have heard the words behind Old Man Tian, knew that Old Man Tian asked for an amazing amount of silver from Fat Liu, and also knew that Old Man Tian planned to raise Fat Man Liu as a fat sheep and slowly suck blood and eat meat.
The eldest girl felt that something was wrong.
She wanted to help her mother's family squeeze money out of Liu Fatzi's body, but it was not such a hurtful approach. She still plans to live a good life with Fat Liu in the future.
If she goes according to Old Man Tian's wishes, how will she and Liu Fatzi live a good life in the future. Her son will not have a good day in the future.
It was at this time that Liu Fatzi found a way to meet the big girl. The two hit it off, and the eldest girl planned to leave with Liu Fatzi behind her family's back, and Liu Fatzi also promised the eldest girl that she would give her mother's family another sum of silver, and she would try her best to take care of Tian Dabao in the future.
It's a pity that the two were discovered by Old Man Tian when they were leaving.
It turned out that Old Man Tian was shrewd and had been guarding against this for a long time.
Then, something unfortunate happened. The eldest girl wants to leave, and the Tian family wants to stop her. There was a physical altercation between the two sides, the eldest girl was pushed down in the chaos, and the child in her belly was gone.
Both sides were dumbfounded.
Liu Fatzi lost his son, and immediately cried loudly, almost turning his back on his anger. The big girl is also sad. Old man Tian was also stunned for a long time, but he was still the first to react, knowing that he could no longer use the child in the belly of the big girl to extort money from Liu Fatzi.
Old man Tian had an idea and came up with another plan.
Old man Tian grabbed Liu Fatzi and asked him to compensate him for losing his great-grandson's money, and asked Liu Fatzi to compensate the eldest girl for her medical expenses. Old man Tian also threatened Liu Fatzi, saying that if Liu Fatzi did not agree, he would go to the yamen to sue Liu Fatzi and let Liu Fatzi pay for his life.
At this time, Old Man Tian inevitably mentioned Xia Xiucai between his words. He also said that the backers are all from the Tian family, and they want to let Liu Fatzi have no return or something.
However, this did not scare the fat man Liu who was already distressed and was about to go crazy.
Liu Fatzi suddenly became single. Not only did he refuse to give Old Man Tian a penny, but he also said that he didn't need Old Man Tian to sue him, he would go to the Yamen to sue Old Man Tian first.
First of all, he had to sue the old man Tian for abducting the population.
Old man Tian said that the eldest girl was his granddaughter, but it was useless. Liu Fatzi bought the big girl with real money, and the human and material evidence is complete.
After making a fuss like this, not only the mountains and tun'er, but even the villages on the left of the nearly 100 miles were alarmed. Sun Lan'er told Xia Zhi that the people who went to see the excitement of Gushan Tun'er at that time were never broken, and in the end, the entrance of the village of Gushan Tun'er was blocked.
And the final result is that Liu Fatzi walks away.
He left the eldest girl in the backer.
