Where did Jade Niang go?

It turned out that early this morning, Widow Chen came to look for Yu Niang and went up the mountain to catch pheasants together. 【&n】

Because Xiao Mo needed to replenish his body, and there were no chickens at home, Yu Niang wanted to follow Widow Chen up the mountain to catch a few pheasants.

So Yu Niang and Widow Chen went into the mountain early in the morning, in the afternoon, the harvest of the two women was not big, only two pheasants, Widow Chen and Yu Niang totaled, felt that it was not easy to enter the mountain once, now it is the beginning of spring, the poisonous snake on the mountain has not yet come out, it is a good time to hunt, so I want to catch more mountain treasures to go back.

It wasn't until the evening that Yu Niang and Widow Chen stumbled into a rabbit nest and caught two more gray rabbits, so they went down the mountain satisfied, but the time was almost night.

Yu Niang and Widow Chen walked in the town, and they were immediately blocked by people, and Yu Niang fixed her eyes to see that it was the old man Wang who was the resident opposite the Xiao family.

Old man Wang is a little old this year, his son died early, and he died before he got married, leaving only Uncle Wang alone, because he lived close to the Xiao family, so he got a few points of land in the Xiao family, and supported himself by cultivating the fields.

After seeing Yu Niang, Old Man Wang said anxiously: "Madam, you are back!" ”

Because Old Man Wang is a cultivator of the Xiao family, he called Yu Niang Mrs.

"What's wrong?" Yu Niang grabbed the pheasant and the gray rabbit in her hand and asked puzzledly.

The old man said: "Madam, go home quickly, the old lady is in a hurry, even Li Zheng has come to your house, many villagers think you are missing, and are discussing how to find you!" ”

"Huh?"

Yu Niang hurriedly bypassed Old Man Wang and ran home.

After entering the door, I saw that in the front hall of the Xiao family, there was Li Zheng Lin Chong, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him, with a dignified demeanor, and several old uncles in the town, they were all famous old people in Changle Town, and after hearing that Yu Niang was missing, they all came to the Xiao family.

This is also because the Xiao family is in Changle Town and is a scholarly family, so something will attract the attention of these people.

Although the current Xiao family is slowly declining, these old people will not forget the prestige of the older generation of the Xiao family.

When Yu Niang entered the door, Lin Chong was comforting Meng Qiuxiang, Meng Qiuxiang fell on the chair, tears flowed from her eyes, and muttered: "How is this good, how can our mother and son live in the future?" ”

Hearing Meng Qiuxiang's words, Yu Niang's heart was sour, tears fell, and she quickly ran to Meng Qiuxiang and knelt down, and said: "Mother, Yu Niang is back, it's Yu Niang who is not good, I should talk to you when I go out!" ”

Seeing that it was really Yu Niang back, Meng Qiuxiang's eyes widened, she stopped crying, and a look of joy appeared on her face, but then she didn't look away.

At this time, an old man stood up and asked Yu Niang: "Yu Niang, where have you been?" Don't say a word when you go out, see if you make everyone anxious! ”

The old man is also surnamed Xiao, named Ding Shan, is Xiao Mo's uncle, and the Xiao family is also a distant relative, he is an old man in Changle Town, and his son is the same as Xiao Mo's eldest brother Xiao Hao, he did not come back after the expedition to the north, and there are only two people in the family now, Xiao Dingshan and his wife, but Xiao Dingshan is also a big family in Changle Town, plus the government's pension, the two of them are disease-free, so they are not so worried about life.

When Yu Niang heard the question, she said, "Uncle Hui, I went into the mountain with Sister-in-law Chen early this morning, caught a few mountain treasures, and wanted to make up for my uncle's body......"

In the latter words, Yu Niang's voice was very small, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

Meng Qiuxiang snorted and said, "Make up for your body, your own body is not a body?" One of your daughters' family, run to the mountains, if you ......"

The latter words were a little unlucky, Meng Qiuxiang didn't say it, she paused, and then said: "Your father is about to arrive, this time, you will go back with your father, our Xiao family, we can't keep you anymore!" ”

When Yu Niang heard Meng Qiuxiang's words, her eyes widened and she cried, hugged Meng Qiuxiang's legs, and cried and said, "Mother, where is Yu Niang wrong?" Mother, you say it, Yu Niang can change it, but don't let me go back with my father......"

Hearing Yu Niang's cry, Meng Qiuxiang couldn't bear it, but this time she was really frightened by Yu Niang, if Yu Niang hadn't come back now, when the Qiao family came, I was afraid that Meng Qiuxiang would not be able to tell clearly, if Yu Niang really disappeared in the Xiao family, maybe the Qiao family would go to the government.

The Xiao family originally only had orphans and widows left, and now that Xiao Mo's condition has become a little more complex, if he suffers a lawsuit at this time, where will he still survive?

But after all, Yu Niang has been in the Xiao family for three years, and she has always been very responsible, and she has also taken care of Xiao Mo's mother and son wholeheartedly, and even took her own dowry for the sake of the Xiao family, all of which Meng Qiuxiang also saw in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Meng Qiuxiang sighed, and softened her tone towards Yu Niang: "Child, over the years, our Xiao family is sorry for you, your husband and you went to serve in the military after worshipping heaven and earth, and after he died, he didn't even come back, and your uncle has been sick since that time, and the family is dependent on you, you ...... Why are you so troubled! ”

After Meng Qiuxiang finished speaking, Lin Chong and several old people also shook their heads with a sigh, although the situation of the Xiao family has been encountered by many people in Changle Town, but there are indeed very few loyal martyrs like Yu Niang!

Hearing Meng Qiuxiang's tone softened, Yu Niang hurriedly said: "Mother, Yu Niang is not afraid of hardship, Yu Niang said, she was born in this life as a member of the Xiao family, and when she died, she was also a ghost of the Xiao family, Mother, Yu Niang don't leave, don't leave you!" ”

You, of course, also include Xiao Mo!

Yu Niang's heart was indeed a little bitter, originally thought that after Xiao Mo woke up, she would finally be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, but she didn't expect that after Xiao Mo woke up, her heart was immediately hooked away by Hu Yunxue, and the idea in her heart could be passed on to Xiao Mo's expectation of being a wife, and now the hope is getting smaller and smaller.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up!

Because Yu Niang knows that if she leaves the Xiao family like this, then what awaits her will be an unknown fate, in this era, the widow wants to remarry, except for the man who loses his wife and continues the string, no one can look at it.

In this case, if Yu Niang leaves the Xiao family, I am afraid that she will have to marry someone as a concubine, so Yu Niang is extremely unwilling to leave the Xiao family.

After Yu Niang finished speaking, Meng Qiuxiang also fell silent, and she was also undecided in her heart, not knowing what to do, at this time, a few people came in from the door, but it was Yu Niang's father Qiao Zheng and Yu Niang's brother, Qiao Wenxuan.

Qiao Wenxuan is in his twenties this year, married at the age of sixteen, and his wife Wang has a son and a daughter, the eldest is three years old, and the younger one is still in swaddling clothes.

After entering the door, seeing Yu Niang kneeling in front of Meng Qiuxiang and crying, Qiao Zheng couldn't help but turn pale, and was about to have a seizure, but fortunately, Lin Chong noticed that Qiao Zheng's face was not good, stood up in time, and shouted: "Bojun!" ”

Bo Jun is Qiao Zheng's word, after hearing Lin Chong's words, Qiao Zheng nodded to Lin Chong, Lin Chong is the Li Zheng of Changle Town, and the God of Wealth of Changle Town, Qiao is a businessman, usually has a lot of dealings with Lin Chong, and the relationship between the two families is also good, with Lin Chong in the way, Qiao Zheng's temper is not as big as just now, he snorted angrily, pulled Yu Niang's shirt and said: "Go, go back with me!" ”

Yu Niang broke free of Qiao Zheng, ran behind Meng Qiuxiang, shrunk and shook her head, but she didn't want to follow Qiao Zheng back, but she didn't dare to say it.

Qiao Zheng's face darkened, he grabbed the stool next to him casually, and was about to make a move on Yu Niang, but fortunately, Qiao Wenxuan grabbed Qiao Zheng, Qiao Zheng glared at Qiao Wenxuan, and said, "Get out!" ”

Qiao Wenxuan lowered his head and let go of his hand, Qiao Zheng pointed at Yu Niang and said, "Beast, can you go?" ”

Yu Niang shook her head again, Qiao Zheng was angry, and said, "Wow, I'll kill you beast today!" ”

Qiao Zheng said that, he went around to Meng Qiuxiang's back and went to catch Yu Niang, where did Yu Niang dare to run? He remained motionless and let Qiao Zheng's stool hit his head.

Everyone was shocked, seeing that Yu Niang did not have the slightest intention of dodging, it was too late to help, at this time, only someone shouted: "Stop!" ”

Hearing this stop, Qiao Zheng actually stopped, his hand holding the stool stopped in mid-air, and he said in surprise The person who spoke, that person was actually Xiao Mo, who had been bedridden!

"Uncle ......" Yu Niang saw that Xiao Mo actually got up from the bed, and stopped Qiao Zheng in time to save herself from harm, so she shouted, and halfway through the shout, Yu Niang changed her words again.

"Ziheng ......"

Xiao Mo leaned against the side door of the front hall, and although he barely got up from the bed, his body was still a little weak. He nodded to Yu Niang, and then said to Qiao Zheng: "Uncle Qiao Shi, please say something well, Yu Niang is still a member of the Xiao family after all, and please Uncle Shi for the sake of his deceased father, and be merciful!" ”

After Xiao Mo appeared, Qiao Zheng was surprised at first, and then heard Yu Niang call Xiao Mo Ziheng, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and now when he heard Xiao Mo's words, he sneered, pointed at Meng Qiuxiang and said: "Ziheng, it's not that I'm unreasonable, what Ziheng said just now, of course the old man knows." But Ziheng has been sick for three years, and many things have happened, but I am afraid that Ziheng will not know, the matter of Yu Niang, I have discussed it with my sister-in-law a long time ago, and my sister-in-law means that Yu Niang can leave the Xiao family, if you don't believe it, you can ask your mother! ”

glanced at Meng Qiuxiang, Xiao Mo didn't need to ask, Xiao Mo knew what Meng Qiuxiang meant at noon, so he must have told Qiao Zheng before that he wanted to return Yu Niang's innocence and let her leave the Xiao family, so Xiao Mo said: "Yes, my mother did say it before, but my uncle should know that the current Xiao family is what I have the final say, right?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Qiao Zheng also fell silent.

Although there are only two people in the Xiao family now, Meng Qiuxiang and Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo should listen to Meng Qiuxiang, but as the old saying goes, follow the father at home, marry the husband, and follow the son when the husband dies, so Xiao Mo said that the current Xiao family is the one who has the final say, and he is not wrong!

Looking at Xiao Mo's meaning, he wants to leave the jade lady if he goes out!

After seeing what Xiao Mo meant, Xiao Dingshan also spoke, he touched his beard, and said: "Xiao Mo is right, now it is indeed he who has the final say, if he says it, it doesn't count, and the old man!" ”

As a distant relative of the Xiao family and an elder, Xiao Dingshan is certainly qualified to say such things.

Hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Qiao Zheng asked, "Then you can tell me, what about Yu Niang?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "Of course, it's still a member of the Xiao family, unless Yu Niang voluntarily leaves my Xiao family and goes back with you, then the little nephew is not easy to force, so I have to ask Yu Niang herself!" ”

Xiao Mo said, and everyone focused their eyes on Yu Niang's body.

"Me?" Yu Niang was a little surprised, in ancient times, a woman's status was very low, just like the above, at home to listen to her parents, married to listen to her husband, husband died, there is a son to listen to the son, no son, you have to listen to the husband's family, when, can you call the shots?

Of course, if Yu Niang is from a royal family, with a body of golden branches and jade leaves, then it is another matter!
