Chapter 196: Foolishness and Filial Piety

When Tao Xingwang's mother heard this, she immediately came over again, played incense show, and was forcibly pulled away by Tao Xingwang.

"Xiangxiu, you just mentioned your father? Aren't you? I thought, this Tao Xingwang's mother wants to "stay" Mei'er, so will this Xiangxiu also be forcibly "stayed" by Tao Xingwang's mother?

At the mention of Xiangxiu's father, Xiangxiu's eyes instantly turned red, and then tears continued to roll down.

"Xiangxiu, if that's the case, tell us where your home is? Do we want to send you back? I looked at her and asked in a deep voice.

She shook her head again, whispered "no", and then fell silent.

"Xiangxiu?" Seeing her weeping silently was really sad.

Although I have only known her for two days, I clearly know her situation in this family.

"My lord, actually, actually, it's our fault, Xiangxiu, it was indeed "stayed" by my mother back then, but my mother has no malice, she? Tao Xingwang hurriedly came out of the inner courtyard, saw Xiangxiu with tears in his eyes, and thought that Xiangxiu had said something, so he hurriedly explained to us: "This is all a family matter, my lord, don't report to the official." ”

Tao Xingwang is worried, let's go to expose this matter.

"Your mother has no ill intentions? She's forcibly leaving the girl behind and making her your wife, right? Is this called no malice? I frowned and stared at Tao Xingwang.

This Tao Xingwang, although he is respectful to us, is a fool and filial to his mother.

Now, Xiangxiu is his wife, but in their family, she doesn't even have a human appearance.

"No, actually, it's all my fault." Tao Xingwang pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and sighed helplessly: "It's me who is useless, I am the Tao family, a single line, but I can't spread the branches for the family, and my mother has done so many wrong things for me." ”

Tao Xingwang lowered his eyes and told us about his "tragic" experience.

The Tao family, originally the largest rich man in this pottery village, did the porcelain business, originally in the county, there are many shops, the business is very large.

Starting from Tao Xingwang's grandfather, the Tao family began to decline, and when Tao Xingwang's father arrived, the family began to frequently go in and out of the pawnshop, and the family relied on pawns to survive.

And when it came to Tao Xingwang, the family was already decaying, but people wanted to face the tree and bark, Tao Xingwang said that he would never sell this ancestral house, and he would revitalize the Tao family.

He married a wife and had children, which can be regarded as starting a family first and then starting a business.

It's a pity that he spent two taels of silver and married his first wife, and died not long after he got married, and when he died, he did not leave a son and a half daughter.

Tao Xingwang's mother was depressed all day long, tried her best, and married Tao Xingwang to a continuation string, who was older and didn't look good, but Tao Xingwang's mother said that the other party was in good health and could pass on the ancestry.

But less than half a year after the woman married into the family, she became thinner and thinner, and soon died, still leaving no heirs.

Tao Xingwang's mother felt that there was a problem with feng shui at home, so she invited a famous feng shui gentleman in the county to come here to set up a formation.

That gentleman, even the side door of Tao's mansion, gave up the position, and let Tao Xingwang raise a "spirit child".

The so-called "spirit child" is the little clay figure I just saw, I heard that the hollow little clay figure, can attract the boy who died early, to come to Taofu to reincarnate.

In order to let these "spirit children" stay here, Tao Xingwang's inner courtyard also planted many locust trees, and worshiped those "spirit children" with livestock for many years.

Tao Xingwang began to deceive and deceive in order to raise the money needed for these offerings, and he knew that Mr. Feng Shui's remuneration was extremely high, so he pretended to be a spirit master and went around "catching demons".

Every time he received a gratuity, he immediately asked the carrier pigeon to send it back and let his mother store it for him.

"Talking about Xiangxiu, why are you talking so far?" I looked at Tao Xingwang and reminded.

Tao Xingwang pursed his lips and glanced at Xiangxiu.

He said that he did earn a lot of money as a "master", so he married two more relatives, but his daughter-in-law still couldn't keep it, they all died within half a year, and they had no flesh and blood.

Later, the feng shui gentleman told him that he might have to find someone who was extremely hard to live in this house.

But Tao Xingwang searched all the nearby villages, and all the girls to be married were not found, and he wanted to give up, after all, he was also old.

However, it was at this time that Xiangxiu followed her father and passed by this pottery village.

Xiangxiu's father is a distant relative of the Tao family, and in terms of seniority, he is Xiangxiu's cousin.

Passing by here, he came in to rest, but Tao Xingwang's mother asked Xiangxiu's birthday and found that Xiangxiu's eight characters were extremely hard, so she wanted to stay with Xiangxiu to "stay".

But when I asked Xiangxiu, I realized that she had already promised to be married, and it was impossible to stay.

So, Tao Xingwang's mother used some means, and Xiangxiu "disappeared" on the second day.

Tao Xingwang also took Xiangxiu's father to the county government to report to the official, but the adults in the county government didn't care about these rural things at all.

Xiangxiu's father lived in Zhuangzi, and this residence was more than half a year, but there was no news of Xiangxiu, and finally he was anxious about his daughter, and he became ill and died.

Tao Xingwang also sent Xiangxiu's father's body back to his hometown, and Xiangxiu has been locked up in the inner courtyard of Tao Xingwang's house for more than half a year.

Tao Xingwang's mother coerced and seduced, and the frightened Xiangxiu committed herself to Tao Xingwang.

At that time, Xiangxiu had just arrived at the age of Jilu, and Tao Xingwang was five out of forty, two years older than Xiangxiu's father.

In the more than three years that she has been with Xiangxiu, Xiangxiu has been pregnant six times, but unfortunately, the children are blessed and shallow and have not survived.

Xiangxiu was physically and mentally exhausted, getting thinner and thinner, and her body was getting worse day by day, and she had never been pregnant again in the past six months.

"More than three years, lost six children?" I looked at Tao Xingwang in shock.

Tao Xingwang pursed his lips, the first four were all less than four months, and they were stillborn, and the last two, one was born prematurely in six months, and the other was born in July.

"Have you ever thought about how much Xiangxiu's body has lost?" I looked at Xiangxiu.

She has a very bad complexion now, and she is so thin that she has only a handful of bones left, with such a body, Tao Xingwang and his mother still expect her to have children?

"It's all her fault! It's all to blame on this slut, didn't she say it earlier, if she said that she was already unclean, how could we waste so much time on her? "This prosperous mother, the ghost has come out again.

"Mother? Didn't you want to rest in this backyard? How are you? Tao Xingwang went over and helped his mother.

And his mother, but pointed to Xiangxiu, and said to us: "Don't look at this woman, she looks harmless to humans and animals, back then, she was no longer perfect, and Mr. Feng Shui said that she must find a hard virgin in order to succeed!" ”
