Chapter 195: Unwilling
"That's right, even if she is now the Duchess of Zhenguo, she is also the girl who went out of our family, how can she give up her family when she is rich?"
"That's it, that's the glory of our An clan."
"Ahem, Jingyuan's daughter-in-law, you have to persuade you, you can't forget the fundamentals of this life."
"If the clan really let it go"
For a while, several clan elders of the An family talked about it, and some even excitedly patted WwWlā When they heard about An Ruyi's husband's current status, how could they be indifferent in their hearts, and they were still thinking about how to get some light in the past.
If she is really separated from the family, then what reason and excuse do you have to come to the door? So there is a lot of opposition. Among them, only An Lao Er and An Lao Si sat there dumbfounded, silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
Mo Shi was not annoyed, he only drank the tea slowly, calmly listening to the happiness of the clan elders, and did not refute it.
When they finally said enough to stop, Mo put down the cup, and his tone was a little tough and a little sad.
"Ruyi was only one or two years old when she was stolen from home and abandoned in the wilderness, my husband and I picked her up and raised, she grew up in our family, she was once protected by our clan. But don't forget what happened back then just because our mother and daughter have today. How long did my husband be buried at that time? Where was our clan when our mother and daughter were treated like wolves and dogs, or by our ancestors' favored people? Where are you, the elders? Who of you dared to jump out like this back then to speak for our mother and daughter? ”
Mo Shi looked at the embarrassed faces of those who had just spoken, and sneered.
"Don't say anything, we're not okay now. How easy it is for you to get the wealth that we mother and daughter are today? When we were sold, the boat was halfway to the wishful and the fever did not go away, and it was not good, and the people were afraid that people would die on the ship, so they directly threw people in the wilderness, and forced us to separate our mother and daughter. Fortunately, the Liuguo Highway, which was still penniless back then, saved her. Later, the two became husband and wife, and it didn't take long for the good days to meet the imperial court conscription, and the son-in-law went to the battlefield to fight, and there was no news as soon as he went, and Ruyi almost starved himself to death at home in order to feed his two young children. ”
Thinking of the past, Mo is still angry.
"Back then, the son-in-law's sister and sister-in-law fought righteously, and they have been sparing no effort to help their sisters-in-law and nephews, so that they can survive. Later, Ruyi took the child all the way to the border to find his son-in-law. Life is a little better, so I think about asking people to come back to the village to find an heir for Xianggong and me to offer incense. With such a daughter, who dares to say that she forgets her roots? Call her ungrateful? ”
The patriarchs of the An family and the clan elders laughed, and they were speechless for a while. Mo didn't want to really turn his face with them, so he slowed down his tone.
"Although she hasn't appeared in front of you for so many years, she is not unrewarded to you and to our village, if you think about it carefully, is it really unaware?"
The patriarch and clan elders of the An family, as well as An Lao Er and An Lao Si, were all shocked when they heard this, as if they remembered something, and looked at Mo Shi in disbelief. Is it really what they think?
"Jing, Jingyuan's daughter-in-law, is it about tax reduction?"
The patriarch of the An family spoke with a trill. Some time ago, suddenly the lord of the county government came to announce that the emperor's decree was that the tax in Wenyang Village, where he was located, would be halved in the next 20 years. This kind of good news from heaven simply made the people of the village ecstatic.
I thought that this was like this in all places, but when I inquired, I learned that only Wenyang Village, where I was located, was like this. In the face of the envy of other villages, although no one in the village knew why the emperor would suddenly make such a decree, but he couldn't stop the people in his village from being proud.
"Yes, that is exactly what Ruyi's biological father and mother specially begged the emperor to thank the villagers of our Wenyang Village. Alas, in fact, if nothing like that happened back then, it is unknown whether today's Ruyi's biological father and mother would have asked for the emperor. ”
Mo Shi didn't finish his words, so that everyone present was silent after listening to it, and everyone fell into association. Yes, if that hadn't happened back then, wouldn't it be clear whether the tax would be completely exempt today? Thinking about it this way, An's big house is really a sinner for the whole village. Knowing this, alas, how could they allow them to do such a bastard thing back then? Why didn't they stop them?
Everyone's faces showed resentment, chagrin, and regret. It's okay to hang it high, but once these things violate your own interests, few people can really be calm.
"Ruyi has found her biological parents? Whose house is it? How could they still speak before the emperor? The patriarch of the An family also secretly regretted it, but he soon asked the point. The husbands who marry Ruyi are already so high-powered, can her biological parents be more powerful?
"Actually, how could I be willing to cross Ruyi out of my husband's and my name? This is also cutting my heart. Ruyi's biological parents didn't mention it, and it was all my own thoughts. If I don't do this, I won't be able to get over it. ”
Mo Shi was not in a hurry to answer the words of the An family patriarch, but his eyes were red and he wiped away tears.
"Do you think that this is the only blessing you have ever received? In the past ten years, people from other villages have done some small business in the town, and how many of them have not been targeted by ruffians and asked for money? There are also ordinary people who are bullied and insulted at every turn, have you heard of it? But for so many years, has anyone from our village ever encountered this kind of thing? Do you all think it's a coincidence? Is it the luck of our people in Wenyang Village? ”
"That's because Ruyi has always been stared at, and he has established authority and spoken to those ruffian bullies, so no one has dared to bully the people of our Wenyang Village with his power for so many years."
After listening to it, everyone thought about it carefully, and sure enough, the people in the village used to talk about it and said that their village's feng shui was good, but it turned out that they had been favored for many years and didn't know it. So they were speechless for a while, and An Lao Er and An Lao Si couldn't help but cry.
The patriarch of the An family turned even redder. (To be continued.) )
