CHAPTER XLIV

On the other hand, when Jiang Hanxiao and the others walked under the old locust tree, Jiang Hanxiao asked Yang Xiaohua and the others to go home first.

"My sister is like this now, you know. Thank you to the fourth sister for helping me first, and I'll come to explain in person another day. ”

Diao Ruyue nodded and said, "Two girls, don't worry about going back, I'll explain it to Madame." ”

Regarding these things tonight, Diao Ruyue was clearer than Jiang Hanxiao, she turned around and explained to Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Xuehe was stunned.

"Little Butterfly is only two years old, so how can the Hai clan bear it?"

Diao Ruyue said: "Focusing on children and grandchildren, and not taking granddaughters in your eyes, this approach is very similar to the old lady of the Jiang family." I've heard people say that the situation of the fifth master was not very good at that time, didn't it? ”

Yang Xiaohua couldn't help but tug at the corner of Diao Ruyue's clothes: "Sister Ruyue......"

Originally, Jiang Xuehe didn't like Diao Ruyue very much, but Diao Ruyue spoke so bluntly, Yang Xiaohua really sweated for her when she heard it, wasn't she afraid of completely offending Jiang Xuehe?

Although Jiang Xuehe felt uncomfortable after hearing this, she felt that what Diao Ruyue said was right, although the Zhou family believed the Lin family's nonsense at that time, and really regarded this as a good marriage. But the rush to marry her is not for her good, but for the sake of plotting their second family property. You can't assume that Zhou hasn't done anything just because she hasn't done anything now, in fact, her grandmother Zhou is no different from Hai.

"And how did you find the child?" Jiang Xuehe asked again.

"I asked a few shops near He Ji, and I asked all the good and bad ones, and the final result was that Hai's didn't bring anyone back after he went out with the little butterfly during the day." Diao Ruyue said, "Originally, I didn't think of Renyazi, but later I heard that someone said that he saw the Hai family with the child near the pavilion, so I proposed to go over and take a look, the child was really sold, and I spent ten taels of silver to redeem it, using the money bag that Mrs. gave to the smiling girl, which is the rest of the money." ”

Diao Ruyue handed over the money bag in her hand as she spoke, and Jiang Xuehe didn't look at it much, and put it away directly.

"I'm sorry for you today."

Diao Ruyue said: "This is what I should have done, Madam doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Jiang Xuehe asked again: "What is the attitude of the He family towards the second sister?" ”

"The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of the He family have never said a word, and I don't know what kind of character they are and what they think. But the third sister-in-law of the He family has always been arrogant to the Spring Festival girl, and she has never been polite. Diao Ruyue frowned and said, "That attitude doesn't look like it's a concubine, but like the master of a big family, and the other two sisters-in-law of the He family don't seem to be surprised by this." Coupled with the attitude of the Hai family, the Spring Festival girl must have a hard time in the He family. But now it is not clear what the attitude of the He family's aunt is, if he is a foolish and filial person, then ......"

If He Dongsheng is foolish and filial, then this matter will still stand on the side of the Hai clan in the end, and then Jiang Yingchun's life will be completely difficult. If she goes back, she is likely to be tormented by the He family for the rest of her life, but if she doesn't go back, a woman with a daughter will be struggling.

"I think the second sister was also a strong person back then, and the He family gave a gift of ten taels when they came to propose, and it seemed to be very sincere, why is this the case now?" Jiang Xuehe sighed and said, "Speaking of which, the two girls who married the best in our Jiangjia Village back then were the eldest sister and the second sister. ”

Diao Ruyue nodded, she could see that the Jiang family didn't say anything else, but they all looked good. Originally, when she saw Jiang Xuehe's sisters and brothers, she felt that this appearance and temperament were not like those born in the countryside, but later heard about some of Pei's deeds, thinking that their sisters and brothers were all influenced by their mother. But later Diao Ruyue found that Jiang Hanxiao in the third room was also a delicate little beauty, and although the Jiang Qingfeng brothers were not as handsome as the Gu brothers, they were definitely outstanding in the countryside.

That Jiang Taohua is worse than the other sisters of the Jiang family, but it is also very good compared to other girls in the village, and she heard that Jiang Taohua's eldest sister Jiang Meihua was one of the most beautiful girls in several nearby villages back then, except for Jiang Yingchun, no one can compare with her, so it is normal for Jiang Meihua and Jiang Yingchun to marry the best.

It's just that outsiders are optimistic or not, generally only look at the other party's family background, where did you ever think that the He family has such a ruthless mother-in-law and a concubine who doesn't treat Jiang Yingchun as a person?

Jiang Xuehe was a little worried when she thought of Jiang Yingchun's affairs, the matter on the Hai family's side had been tossed for a long time before it had just been decided, and now that Jiang Yingchun had an accident again, the third uncle and third aunt of Jiang would not feel good in their hearts.

The third room of the Jiang family doesn't like to trouble the second room no matter what happens, so Jiang Xuehe sat at home for a day the next day, and unexpectedly didn't see any people from the third room coming over, so he couldn't help but sigh.

She spends all day sitting in the study and flowers, just thinking that things can't be painted well.

Gu Siyan saw that she was worried for a day, and couldn't help but say: "When you encounter something like this, everyone needs some time." Didn't Xue Niang say before that your second cousin has always been strong, and she definitely doesn't want too many people to know about this kind of thing. ”

"If she really doesn't want to go back to He's house, sooner or later everyone will know about it. It's not that I don't understand her, I'm just worried about the third uncle and three aunts. ”

Gu Siyan said: "Since you are so worried, why don't you send someone to ask your second cousin-in-law?" What happens to your second cousin in the future has a lot to do with him. ”

"I've thought about it too, but after thinking about it, I think it's not suitable for us outsiders to meddle in this kind of thing. If I send someone today and say that I have moved him, then if he regrets it in the future, won't it all be pushed on the head of the second sister's mother's family? It was his mother, his wife and daughter, and it was up to him to make the choice. ”

Jiang Hanxiao came to the Gu family after four or five days, and as soon as she came, she said sorry to Jiang Xuehe.

"Fourth sister, I'm sorry, I came to you after so many days." Jiang Han smiled helplessly and said, "But you also know my sister's temperament, she has always been very strong, if she really can't get through it this time, she won't come back with me." What kind of hardships she suffered in the He family, even my father and mother didn't want to tell them, how could they be willing to tell others. ”

Jiang Xuehe nodded and said, "I naturally understand this. How is the second sister now? Do you have any plans for the future? ”

"My sister has been holding back since she came home, and she refuses to say anything, I am explaining, but I don't know clearly, and finally my father was anxious, and scolded my sister for a long time, and scolded my sister for a long time, and scolded my sister for crying, and this resentment was completely vented. It turned out that the marriage with the He family was not what we imagined from the beginning. ”

At first, everyone thought that this was a good marriage, although the He family opened a rice and grain shop in the town, but the family has four sons, and they are not really rich, and they are willing to take out ten taels of silver as a gift, and everyone thinks that the He family was full of sincerity back then.

Six taels of gift money for Jiangjia Village

But in fact, there was no ten taels of gift money from beginning to end.

Hai's person is shrewd but picky, and among the four daughters-in-law of the He family, only the third sister-in-law He really got ten taels of gifts. The fourth daughter-in-law that the Hai family fell in love with at the beginning was not Jiang Yingchun, but He Dongsheng reluctantly agreed to marry Jiang Yingchun, and in the end she was only willing to give three taels of gifts. He Dongsheng borrowed and scraped it up, so he bought the dowry and added an extra gift of three taels.

Jiang Yingchun and He Dongsheng are in love, and she also wants to marry He Dongsheng, but she has always been strong, and because of the discord between the big house and the three rooms, she has been invisibly comparing with Jiang Meihua, and she can't bear that her marriage looks inferior to Jiang Meihua, so she took out a private house and made up ten taels of gift money.

She tried her best to save her so-called face, and was envied by every little girl in the village, but she was empty in her heart, so she gradually didn't go back to her parents' house much. When she first got married, her life was quite good, because He Dongsheng was very good to her, and she was good-looking, diligent and capable, and the Hai family was not mean at that time. At that time, if there was a conflict between the concubines, Hai would occasionally speak for her. But that all changed after the baby butterfly was born.

Hai only has a grandson in his eyes, and when she was pregnant, Hai took good care of her, and asked her for various secret recipes for childbirth, hoping that she could give birth to a second grandson for the He family. As soon as Jiang Yingchun's child landed, Hai's face completely changed, and he regretted that he had to work hard for Jiang Yingchun before, so his attitude towards Jiang Yingchun became more and more bad.

Jiang Yingchun's life in the He family became more and more difficult, but she didn't have the face to ask her mother's family for help, so she could only endure it by herself, after a long time, Hai felt that no matter how she tossed Jiang Yingchun, the Jiang family would not care, so she became more and more intensified, and even the other three concubines became more and more estranged from Jiang Yingchun, and the third sister-in-law He relied on her mother's confidence to toss Jiang Yingchun everywhere.

It turned out that although the days were difficult, Jiang Yingchun could still endure it, she had to marry He Dongsheng because she really liked He Dongsheng, and she was willing to continue to stay in the He family for He Dongsheng's sake, thinking that it would be good to stay up until the family was separated. But no one knows when they will be able to split up, but her daughter has been deceived by the Hai family to sell it now, and she can't bear it anymore.

"My sister has been married for three years, and she knows what Hai's personality is, but she didn't expect Hai's to be even more excessive than she imagined. Although she also likes her brother-in-law very much, the little butterfly is a piece of meat that falls from her body, and she refuses to go back to the Hai family no matter what. Jiang Han smiled and sighed, "My brother-in-law went to look for my sister the day after we came back, and my sister asked my brother-in-law whether he wanted to choose He family or their mother and daughter, but my brother-in-law couldn't answer, and was kicked out by my father, and he stood at the door of our house for a day, and then he didn't know where to go." ”

"What are you going to do with it?" Jiang Xuehe asked.

Jiang Han shook his head with a smile: "I don't know, my mother asked me to come out and ask the fourth sister, can you help inquire about the news of the He family, and make sure that my brother-in-law is safe." ”

Jiang Xuehe nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to ask." ”
