When the first snow of the year fell, the young master of the Xu family led his daughter-in-law to set off, and the two of them went out, the pomp and circumstance were not very big, but there were also two big carriages, a small carriage, one of which was ridden by the young master and young lady, the other was for eating, and the smaller one was for the girl.

The three coachmen, plus six family members, and the girl Tao'er, gathered a total of twelve people, and slowly walked out of the city gate amid the discussion on the street.

"Hmph, then the Xu family shouldn't be happy now, right? He also said that as long as his son was happy, it would be fine. At the door of the silk shop, a beautiful woman said sarcastically.

"yes, if you want me to say, that's what she deserves. Let the son marry such a daughter-in-law and enter the door. Let's see, seeing that the New Year is approaching, the young couple went out to play, and left her alone at home, maybe she is wiping her tears at this time. The other woman gloated.

The business in the shop is very good, and people come and go, but these two women have no scruples at all, and they are not worried at all that others will pass on what they just said to Mrs. Xu.

What are you afraid of, in the entire Yanzhou City, there is still less discussion about his Xu family? I don't believe that her Xu family didn't hear anything, even if she did, what could she do? The Xu family is already a big joke in Yanzhou City.

Of course, what many people are waiting for is to hear updated gossip and more jokes, otherwise, wouldn't this winter be too boring!

At this time, in the courtyard of the Xu family's house, the Xu family was explaining to the housekeeper and preparing for the New Year.

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and on the main street of Yanzhou, many people were still purchasing New Year's goods.

At the gate of the city, those who were doing business abroad, doing odd jobs, riding horses, riding cars, and walking, poured into the city to go home for the New Year.

It's just that there are a few people in the queue entering the city. The look on his face was completely opposite to that of the others, and he looked even more urgent. Some people recognized that these people belonged to the Xu family, and they also saw that something had happened.

Just when everyone was busy celebrating the New Year and forgot about the Xu family for the time being, there was big news in Yanzhou City.

The young master of the Xu family led his new daughter-in-law to the north to play and had an accident, and it was a very serious matter, so serious that the people who were originally waiting to see the joke couldn't help but start sympathizing with the Xu family.

Married a man. After the newlywed, there was no news as soon as he left, and the widow raised the child alone, and the son got married, so he waited for the next year to hold his grandson. The son and daughter-in-law were gone all of a sudden, and it is said that the little couple went to the north to play and was called happy, because the new daughter-in-law wanted to sit when she saw the dog sledding over there.

Unexpectedly, something happened when I sat down like this. The plough raced across the frozen river. Somehow, the ice on that section of the river suddenly cracked, and even people and dogs with plows fell into the river.

The gap in the ice. It also began to spread rapidly in all directions, and when people on the shore found out, they rushed to the rescue, but they couldn't do anything. Because the people have disappeared, only floating ice can be seen on the river where the accident occurred.

The people who went with the Xu family were all landlubbers. No one knows how to water, and he is desperate to jump into the river to save people, but he jumps into the river and flutters blindly, where can he save people, pure suicide and thought, fortunately, the onlookers are good, and quickly help get people up.

A few of them had no choice, so they quickly kowtowed to the people by the river for help, and some people went into the water, but they quickly returned to it. The icy river water, no matter how good the water is, people can't last long. What's more, the ice on the river looks calm, but the water below is very fast.

The moment Tao'er saw the accident, she couldn't stand the stimulation and passed out on the ground. When she woke up, she knelt stupidly by the river, and a kind mother-in-law helped her make a fire beside her, and put a blanket on her, trying to ask her who had fallen into the river, but she couldn't ask anything at all.

The others also had no idea, and they didn't want anything to happen to their master, but they all knew that even if they found someone, it would be useless, not to mention that they knew that the master didn't know water like them, even if they knew water, no matter how good the water was, they wouldn't be able to stay in the cold river for so long and be safe.

However, even if you want to find the body, it is impossible, said the people by the river. Then you can only wait for the spring of next year to try your luck downstream, which is only one or two percent hope.

After wandering by the river for nearly ten days, a few people discussed, left a few people, and the others returned to Yanzhou to apologize in front of Madame, even if Madame killed them to pay for the young master's life, it was also their life! They are all slaves of the Xu family, and there is no other choice.

This New Year, in the entire city of Yanzhou, only the Xu family is plain white.

It is said that after receiving the news a year ago, the Xu family was bedridden, and it was Mr. Xu who presided over and arranged for people to go to the north, trying to break the ice and fortify the downstream to see if the body could be found.

In addition, another book was repaired and sent to the Fang family in Source City. If something happens, of course, you have to notify them. Although the Xu family is not chaotic, it is no longer the original Xu family. Xu's is sick in bed, no crying or tears, and Mr. Li is in charge of big and small affairs.

Out of the New Year, the Fang family sent Jin Gang to be sad and angry, but they still had to comfort the Xu family on the hospital bed, after all, she also lost her only son.

Jin Ze went to the north, he stubbornly wanted to find his sister, no matter what others said, he just didn't believe that his sister was really gone, unless he saw it with his own eyes.

When Xu saw the people of the Fang family, he opened his mouth to speak, and did not put the responsibility on his daughter-in-law, only saying that his life was not good.

When Jin Gang was leaving, Xu asked him to take Tao'er and Xing'er away, saying that their master was gone, and they were sorry for staying here.

The sad days are passing more and more slowly, but spring is still coming in anticipation.

For others, the spring season of revival represents the beginning of all good things.

For Xu, this spring is indeed colder than the harsh winter.

She even thought that it would be better that spring should never come, so that the cruel truth would not be in front of her.

When her son was leaving, he told her that he would start a new life when he came back.

Originally, she thought that when her son's plan began to be implemented, she solved it herself, saving her son from dragging her son down. Now that her son and daughter-in-law have an accident, but she doesn't want to die, she doesn't believe that the little couple is gone, she really doesn't believe it.

So, she encouraged herself in her heart. Be strong and wait, maybe one day, your son and daughter-in-law will suddenly appear in front of you. Looking at the mother-in-law and woman who never left her, she knew that it was because Mr. Li was afraid that she would not be able to stand the blow and would not be able to think about it, so he told them to take care of it carefully.

Xu wanted to tell them not to be so nervous. I didn't find my son and daughter-in-law for a day, so I wasn't sure what happened to my son. Anyway, Xu's is unwilling, what he and his son want is very simple, they just want to live the kind of life of ordinary people, but why is it so difficult to achieve?

The snow and ice melted, the grass sprouted, and there was still no news from the north.

But. There was another accident here in Yanzhou, and there were thieves who started the idea of the Xu family, maybe there were too few successes, and the angry thieves were unwilling to set fire to the house.

Most of the manpower in the house went to the north of the river. There were more women in the house, and there were not enough people, and the fire was difficult to control, after dawn. Several main houses, that is, where the Xu family lives, are over to Jinyu's new house. All collapsed completely.

What is piled up in the open space is just the things that the people are desperately trying to snatch out, and compared with the burned ones, it is simply a drop in the ocean.

Compared with what happened to his son and daughter-in-law, in Xu's eyes, everything in front of him is nothing.

On the contrary, it is these mothers-in-law and little girls who look extremely sad to watch.

"This is the heavens that want to destroy my Xu family!" After Xu finished speaking with a wry smile, he saw a box in the hand of his personal mother-in-law, thought about it, and motioned for her to take it.

What is in the box, Xu knows best, and the mother-in-law also knows, so after hearing the fire, the mother-in-law helped the master out, and immediately turned back and grabbed this out.

Xu Shi opened the box, took out a stack of papers, looked through it, and took the top ones, which were still newly purchased a year ago.

Asked someone to find a man's teeth, and sold them on the same day. These are the ones that were added after the son got married, and they have no feelings, since they were bought, they can be sold again.

In the same way, those people didn't feel reluctant, not to mention, the master's family is like this now, maybe there will be a better place to go after leaving here!

Li Guojian did not dissuade him, but just came over and asked his mother-in-law to serve Xu's family to rest in the courtyard that was not burned by the fire. In addition, the people were divided into two groups, and one group was responsible for placing the things that were snatched out.

The other group went to look through the burned ruins and could dig up something useful.

What burned down was not to be rebuilt, and now, even if you still have the financial resources, you don't have that kind of thought.

Because the old housekeeper of the Xu family went to the north with the silver to find people, Li Guojian was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, and the people in the mansion respected him very much, and he respectfully did whatever he commanded.

At the same time, the rest of the people in the house began to feel apprehensive. If the Xu family goes on like this, what will they do? These people are all old people of the Xu family, and the Xu family has suffered one after another, and they are also uncomfortable in their hearts.

However, what they can do for such a thing is to do it more attentively. Nothing else, nothing will help! I couldn't snatch back the lives of the young master and the young lady with Lord Yama, and I couldn't extinguish this fire as soon as possible.

After the matter was done, they got together to discuss it, and decided to send a representative to secretly find the people around the lady to test the lady's plan. I want to send a message to my wife to show everyone's attitude, no one wants to leave here.

After so many years, I have long been accustomed to such days.

At this moment, a guest from the Xu family came, and the porter took the guest's post into the backyard to show the master, but the Xu family didn't even look at it, so he asked him to find Mr. Li. From the accident of his son and daughter-in-law a few years ago to the present, the guest who came to the house was Jinyu's maiden brother.

None of the relatives of the Xu family have ever been here, and it is rumored outside that the Xu family is unlucky, and it can't be contaminated. Therefore, people can't wait to stay away!

Xu Shi wasn't curious about who came, anyway, she knew that if someone came from her in-laws' side, the porter would have invited someone in directly, and where would she need to hand over any post!

She wasn't interested in meeting the guests who came, but she couldn't, because it didn't take long for Li Guojian to find her...... (To be continued......)
