Chapter 19: Separation

When Ling Xiu'er heard that this old splash wanted to cheat money again, and her hand was stretched out to the Cao family, she was angry immediately, but she didn't expect that Xianggong's brother was spineless and didn't say anything, and he was so stupid to help outsiders share money! It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people! In that case, don't blame her for being rude!

"Hey, big brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't go. Not to mention that we didn't get a penny for visiting Zhuangyuanlang, I used to do embroidery. I earned a hundred taels, but not all of them were put into the public account! Last time, you suspected that the prime minister and I hid private money and turned our room upside down! I have money with Xianggong, don't you feel at ease? ”

Cao Liang was speechless, Ling Xiu'er snorted coldly, and then said: "No matter how poor we are, we can't do anything to steal our mother-in-law's money!" It's a shame to be arrested and reported to the official, I still want to be embarrassed! ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhao and Li Feng couldn't sit still again: "Who are you talking about, you cheap little hooves!" You make it clear to me! ”

"How else to be clear? Everyone said that the mother-in-law of the Cao family went to the county seat to report the case, saying that her daughter-in-law stole money to supplement her mother's family. ”

Ling Xiu'er glanced at the old woman Wang as she spoke, and saw that her face instantly turned pale.

Li Zhao asked incredulously, "In-laws, did you really go to report the case?" ”

Mrs. Wang's wife was asked, "This, I ...... this"

"Wow, I'll just say that your Cao family is not a good thing, and your mother-in-law sues your daughter-in-law? Wonders of the ages! Li Zhao's mouth was pursed high, and he rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to fight with Mrs. Wang, so frightened that Mrs. Wang shrunk into a ball and didn't dare to squeak.

As soon as Li heard that his ugly things were about to be shaken out, he hurriedly grabbed his mother: "Mother, don't be like them, I don't care about the past." ”

Of course, just don't care about it now.

The Li family still has brains, Ling Xiu'er picked the two families to turn their faces in one or two sentences, it's not that she doesn't know how powerful she is, but she can't eat a dog now, let's deal with Ling Xiu'er first.

She stabilized Li Zhao's family, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just that you have also seen it today, I have no status in this Cao family at all!" Knot was really pressed by this brother and sister! You're going to call the shots for me! ”

Li Feng hurriedly supported the Li family: "Sister, don't worry, I want to let them know that our Li family is not so easy to bully!" ”

Wang's wife, Nuo Nuo, snorted: "Why do you have to say such ugly words, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized......"

Li pointed at Ling Xiu'er and snorted: "It's okay if your Cao family wants me to come back, I only have one condition, she doesn't have me." I want you to divide your families and live your own lives! ”

"How can this be done! I'm alive! How can I split up? If you say it, you will be laughed at! "Mrs. Wang couldn't agree. But this secretly fits Cao Li's thoughts, if the family is separated, he doesn't have to be pressed by this younger brother in everything. To live his own life, he can still be online.

So he persuaded Mrs. Wang: "Mother, we promise to take the Li family back, and we must always show sincerity." It's okay to separate the family, we still live together, and we can still honor you together. It's just that it says so in name, anyway, sooner or later you will have to split up, so it's better to do things while you're still strong. ”

The roots of the old woman's ears were the softest, and when she heard her son say this, she was right, and she was shaken again.

Li Shi knew that there was a play when he saw my wife's appearance, he stretched out two fingers and said loudly: "I am the elder of Cao Li, and it is appropriate to support the elderly." My mother lives with us, so we have to divide two more rooms. Uncle has already climbed to the top of the Yuanlang, thinking about it, such a five-foot man is embarrassed to let his brother and sister-in-law support him. Let's start a new stove, and the little stove and your bedroom will be yours. ”

Ling Xiu'er listened to her words in a high-sounding manner, but she was not stupid, didn't this mean that in addition to their bedroom, they were only given a small stove room? It was so unfair, she couldn't bear it.

"Sister-in-law, you're too powerful! Don't we have to support our mother-in-law? Why only give us such a small stove? ”

Li snorted coldly: "You are not worth as much as a small stove!" ”

Cao Yu had not squeaked before because an unfilial hat could crush him to death as a scholar. Li mentioned the separation, not only was he not annoyed, but he also had a trace of joy that he could finally live quietly with his daughter-in-law and son. Only got a small stove, what did it matter, he was originally a person who didn't like trouble.

In order to make the matter settle neatly and implement the separation as soon as possible, he promised loudly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Li Shi saw that her little abacus had been completed again, and he was overjoyed in his heart. At the same time contempt, what a nerd, he can't even figure out this account.

"Then since we have said so, let's make a note to prove it." The Li family hurriedly finalized it, for fear that they would regret it.

Cao Yu is a reader, so he naturally writes by him. The two brothers of the Cao family signed and drew on it, and asked the village chief to witness it, which can be regarded as a real separation.

After separating the family, Ling Xiu'er. Hastily cleaned up the small stove. I reluctantly made something to eat before dinner. Fortunately, both of them don't like trouble, so they will make do with it.

After eating, an oil lamp was lit in the house. Cao Yu sat under the lamp reading a book of poetry, while Ling Xiu'er embroidered on the side. The two of them didn't speak quietly, only looked at each other once in a while, and the years were quiet, but that's it.

It's just that this wick is made of broken cotton wool and twisted into rotten strips of cloth, and when it burns, it emits black smoke. Ling Xiu'er coughed a few times, breaking the silence.

"Xianggong, you better go to the school to prepare for the exam, I will come to bring you food every day. When you study in this house, there are always chores and troubles every day, and the environment is not good. ”

Ling Xiu'er's first thought was not herself, but Xianggong, now is the critical moment to prepare for the exam, how can she be delayed because of these messy chores? Cao Yu frowned. He took her in his arms, and his daughter-in-law was always so considerate of him.

"It doesn't matter, I want to be at home with you."

"Xianggong! I'm still waiting for you to be the top student in high school and let me be an official wife! Ling Xiu'er was joking, but her expression was very simple, she knew how much Cao Yu attached importance to this exam.

Cao Yu's heart was moved, and she let her head lie on his chest, only to feel warm in her heart: "Okay, wait for me to make you an official's wife." ”

Early the next morning, Cao Yu took the bags that Ling Xiuer packed for him and went to the school. Ling Xiu'er sent him away, and began to concentrate on embroidery, in fact, there was another reason why she asked Cao Yu to go to the academy. Just want to bleed and make her embroidery come true.

Cao Yu was definitely reluctant to let her do this. Ling Xiu'er embroidered the last few stitches to finish, and with a slight pick of the last stitch on her finger, a few drops of blood rolled out and fell into the copper basin filled with water she had prepared.

This time she had a risky idea, and soaked the embroidery in blood water, would it be effective?

This embroidery embroidered a rich peony with a national color and delicate fragrance, and as time passed, her heart was pinched.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

A miracle happened! Little by little, the flowers on the embroidery became three-dimensional, gradually detached from the white embroidery cloth, and became real peonies, exuding fragrance.

Ling Xiu'er took out the peony from the water and smiled with satisfaction.
