Chapter 60: Provocation (1st Update)
"Few, which family are you, there is only one girl in my family, how many nephews are there!"
Xia Ziqiu saw Xia Xuege coming here, and quickly protected Xia Xuege behind him, he thought more than Xia Xuege, there are many grievances and grievances of this high-ranking family, not to mention that finding a divorce is not conducive to separation.
"You're just a girl? Impossible, the man told us that Zhuqing was here, and we inquired, and your family was saved...... Oops, it was the little boy that your family rescued, about twelve years old, he came here to find a medicinal herb on the day he disappeared, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and there was a red mole on his neck! He's my nephew! Where did you hide him? β
The man with a meaty face said, Xia Ziqiu still didn't dare to relax his vigilance in his heart, this is gone, but it is very easy for them to find it back.
The old butler couldn't stand it anymore and opened his mouth.
"Third Master Xia, please don't be afraid, we got a letter, saying that my Young Master Sun only came to your house, I am the housekeeper of the Mo family, Mo Yusheng, and my Young Master Sun is the child you picked up, and we are here to pick him up."
Mo Yusheng said, Xia Ziqiu looked at the carriages, all of them were hung with the Mo family's signs, and they were really Mo families.
"Old butler, this ...... I don't know how to tell you, it's almost tomorrow before giving birth to that child, and he's already gone. β
"Gone?"
Mo Yusheng was stunned, but they rushed here after knowing the letter, and just now they asked some people in the village, their own Young Master Sun didn't hear about leaving, Mo Yusheng was puzzled, but the fat man didn't believe it.
"You're talking nonsense, it's really the same as the man said. You're not a nice person, don't you just want money? You hand over my nephew, and I'll give you as much money as you want!" β
Dahan said, Xia Ziqiu shook his head.
"This one, Lisheng is really gone, he left this morning when I went to call the child to dinner, and left a letter, I don't believe I let my girl bring it to you to see."
Xia Ziqiu said, turned around and asked Xia Xuege to bring the letter from his house to the dead, and Xia Xuege brought it. Mo Yusheng recognized it as Lisheng's handwriting at a glance. The look in Xia Ziqiu's eyes was actually a little strange.
"Uncle Yusheng, this is Zhuqing's handwriting, I look like it."
"It's Young Master Sun's handwriting, but what is said in this letter is a little different from what we've heard."
"Is there a discrepancy?"
"Hmm. See for yourself. β
Mo Yusheng said and gave the letter to the man. The man looked at it. The face was a little red, Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege were stunned, an ordinary letter. Is there anything strange about it?
"Brother Xia, hehe, I couldn't help it just now, my attitude is a little worse, don't mind, I didn't know you were so good to Zhuqing, we received news that you called Zhuqing as a small worker, and Zhuqing's dogs were not as good, I was angry, so I ...... Hehe, Mo Xiaoran apologized to you. β
Mo Xiaoran smiled embarrassedly, Xia Xuege and Xia Ziqiu glanced at each other, someone found the Mo family and sued them!
Xia Ziqiu has Mo Zhuqing's handwritten letter as a witness, and the people who come naturally know that Xia Ziqiu has not done anything bad to Mo Zhuqing, and he also treats him as his own family, is registered, and gives pocket money like his own children, it can be seen from the letter that Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege know almost nothing about the Mo family, they don't know anything, what can they do?
Mo Yusheng and Mo Xiaoran were in a hurry to find Mo Zhuqing, so they said hello and went back, Xia Xuege packed some freshly baked chestnut cakes for Mo Yusheng, and asked him to bring them to Lisheng, which can be regarded as a parting gift.
After sending the Mo family away, Xia Xuege and Xia Ziqiu were silent, who could find the Mo family and sue them? The Zhou family? No way? Old Lady Zhou is an old man, it is impossible to do such a boring thing, he has a bad relationship with Old Man Mo, this is known to Old Man Mo, and it has not become a handle, but the others Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege can't think of anyone who can do such a thing lacking in morality.
The two of them thought hard for a long time, and felt that it was probably done by someone who had a disagreement with the Mo family, or someone inside the Mo family, if Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xue Ge had an accident because of Mo Zhuqing, probably Mo Zhuqing would blame himself for the rest of his life, although Mo Zhuqing seems to be a character who has nothing to do with him, but in the end he is not a very big child, and his heart is not a stone.
I didn't think about it for a long time, Xia Xuege and Xia Ziqiu were busy with their own work, starting tomorrow, and then going to the town to tell the sΓΉ people from October to the beginning of spring, they just went to the next town to sell chestnut cakes every big set, the ducks at home began to lay eggs in early September, and then the chickens also began to lay eggs, one a day, Xia Xuege took all the duck eggs to pickle salted duck eggs, twenty-seven just a small jar, Xia Ziqiu also laughed, saying that Xia Xuege's pickled salted duck eggs, the family is going to send business to the grocery store again, there are two people in the family, Xia Xuege's salted duck eggs are estimated to be the result of being sold again. The two of them were busy, the village sounded the sound of hemp clams, Xia Xuege heard the sound and thought, he had traveled for almost half a year, and he hadn't eaten seafood once, Liangzhou Linhai, but there was generally no one to buy seafood in the countryside, looking at Xia Xuege looking at the door, Xia Ziqiu knew that his daughter wanted to buy it, picked up the child and went out, this hemp clam was cheaper than Xia Xuege thought, one pound and two pennies, looking at the seafood seller, Xia Xuege also sighed that life is not easy, this cold day, although it didn't snow, but the temperature was only four or five degrees, This coachman still drives the car through the streets and alleys, in this countryside, there are not many people who can spend money to buy clams, although it is cheap, but in the end it is two pennies, Xia Xuege looked at it in Xia Ziqiu's arms, this is a long time, and a few good people in the village bought a few catties, and there are many in the big bucket.
"Dad, let's buy it, it's not easy for this uncle to look at, let's go back and dig out the clam meat and freeze it, we can eat it in winter, and those crab dads also buy it, okay, I haven't eaten crabs yet!"
Xia Xuege said, in fact, she was a little greedy, this ancient winter is not as good as modern times, there is no fresh food in winter, keep clams, and cooking can also have a little umami.
Xia Ziqiu also agrees with Xia Xuege's idea, but it's not Xia Xuege's cautious eyes, Xia Ziqiu used to be a scholar, a bit of "reaching and helping the world", he is living a good life now, and it is not a waste of money to buy this thing, if you can help others, you can help others, and this is a mutually beneficial thing.
As soon as the coachman heard that Xia Xuege wanted to buy everything, he was very happy, originally no one bought after those people bought it, he felt a little lost, it was cold, the sea was going to freeze after a while, and he couldn't get any harvest, these things were probably the last few seafoods, but there was no harvest and no money to sell, it was also sad to have winter, hearing that Xia Xuege wanted all, even the crabs that few people cared about, how could the coachman not be happy.
"This big brother, if your girl wants it, this basket of crabs will be regarded as a gift from me, this can't be sold, and I will smash it in my hand."
The coachman smiled, his dark face made Xia Ziqiu see himself who had worked hard in the past, and paid very happily, the coachman delivered the goods to the door, looking at the full of clams in his tank, Xia Xuege drooled a little, seafood, I haven't eaten it for a long time!
"Uncle, don't you have a lot of seafood on the beach, I see that there are many kinds of seafood in the restaurant, and they are all delicious."
Xia Xuege smiled, she thought about those shrimp and cuttlefish or something, the coachman was happy, and said with a smile:
"Of course there are many kinds, but this shrimp or something is like this crab, a little expensive, the people in the village won't buy it, why little girl, do you want it? If you want it, your uncle will sell it to you cheaper, and if you buy more than 20 yuan, your uncle will send it to you! β
The coachman smiled, Xia Xuege sighed, Twenty Wen came here from a fishing village by the sea, and life was really not easy.
"Well, I want to eat prawns, last time my brother at home bought me a shrimp ball, but unfortunately it was too expensive, one cost a penny, but it was delicious, I still want to eat squid, it is white, it is delicious to look at."
Xia Xuege played her child's side, Xia Ziqiu smiled and said:
"That brother, I'm bothering you, my kid will know how to eat, this shrimp please send me thirty catties, preferably a big one, that squid is also twenty catties, I have been at home recently, you can come at any time."
Xia Ziqiu smiled, and Xia Xuege pouted.
"Dad, I'm still a child, in addition to eating, do you want me to catch insects and play like Little Rock?"
received an unexpected big business, not to mention twenty wen, two coins and silver, the coachman left happily, Xia Xuege and Xia Ziqiu began to dig clam meat again, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Ziqiu went to open the door, but it was Xia Meier.
"Third uncle, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten all day today, I'm hungry! β
Xia Meier began to shed tears as she spoke, although Xia Ziqiu didn't like this niece, but he couldn't watch her starve, although he agreed with Liang's heart to educate the three children of Dafang well, but he didn't agree with Liang's obvious intentional embarrassment.
Xia Meier cried, her little eyes could barely see, Xia Ziqiu entered the house and gave Xia Meier a piece of the leftover bud rice cake at noon, Xia Meier saw that there was food, and she didn't wipe her tears, she grabbed it and gobbled it up, looking at Xia Meier's face that was spent after crying and because she didn't wash her face, Xia Meier, who had an intuition in her heart, grabbed the cake directly with her hand and ate it without getting sick!
Xia Meier ate one, and asked for it.
"Third uncle, I haven't eaten enough, do you still have bread?"
"No, the third uncle's family is also making the rations for leaving life, but he went home, only left, the third uncle's house eats dinner when it's dark, it's still early, you go back first, I guess the family will also cook!"
Xia Ziqiu said, it's not that there is nothing to eat, it's just that this cake can only be given one, he and Xia Xuege can guess it, Xia Meier is estimated to come back tomorrow, although the Liang family said that it was intentionally embarrassing, but Xia Meier is a poor person must have something to hate, Xia Meier is ten years old and needs to be educated well.
Xia Meier saw that there was no one, and said in her heart that Xia Ziqiu was stingy, and she didn't know how to cook more when she was rich, thinking that she had dinner at home, and she was still a little short, so she went to pick mushrooms again. (To be continued......)
PS: Su Qingdai, who was reborn in "The Biography of Su Yi", originally wanted to be a seventh lady who ate and waited for death, and by the way, she took revenge and saved people, but her father thought she had eaten too much, so he married her to a lazy prince, how is this good?
