Xia Qi angrily wanted to chase him out and argue with him, but when he heard Shu Shi shouting "Brother Qi" behind him, he had to stop stupidly, his face was still indignant, and he swore an oath: "Grandmother and uncle are really too deceitful!" In the future, when I have a chance, I will ignore them. ”

Before Shu Shi could speak, Xia Jin praised: "Ambitious!" Manly husbands, that's how they should be. They don't distinguish our ancestral property, what's the matter? You relied on your ability to be admitted to the show, and you became an official in the future, what good life is there? A little bit of small profit, it is worth it to be able to see the faces of some people clearly. ”

Xia Qi was so embarrassed that her face turned red when she praised her.

Shu Shi stared at the household registration and the house deed, his eyes were red, and his deep voice was nasal: "You say, can't your father come back?" ”

"Mother, don't listen to uncle's nonsense!" Xia Jin hurriedly explained, "I went to Luo's Mansion this morning, and I heard that Luo Sangongzi's illness has improved. Maybe tomorrow's daddy will come back. ”

"Really?" Shu Shi raised his eyes, but tears flowed down his eyes. She hurriedly turned around and wiped her tears with her handkerchief.

Xia Jin looked uncomfortable, so she had to comfort her without saying anything to Xia Qi.

The next day, Xia Zhengqian really came back. This time it was not like last time, his face was haggard, his beard was unkempt, and he was in good spirits and neatly dressed. As soon as he saw his wife and children, he said with a relaxed expression: "Luo Sangongzi's condition has improved greatly since yesterday, and I think it's okay." ”

Shu Shi cried with joy and asked again: "You don't have to go again now, right?" ”

Xia Zhengqian nodded: "It shouldn't be necessary." ”

Shu's eyes fell even more.

Xia Jin shook his head. Joy also cries. Sad and crying, this woman is really made of water.

The family entered the house happily.

Wait for Xia Zhengqian to bathe and change clothes, eat and drink enough. I heard Shu Shi say about the household registration and house deed sent by Xia Zhengshen. He was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be too happy. If they knew that Luo Sangongzi was fine, maybe they would come to the door again tomorrow. ”

When Shu Shi heard this, he immediately became nervous, clutched the handkerchief and said, "Master, you don't still want to go back to the house, do you?" ”

Xia Zhengqian shook his head: "How is it possible?" Only, will they let us go? ”

Xia Jin sat on the side and held his cheeks, blinking his eyes and not saying a word.

As a result, that night. Xia Zhengqian was called to Luo's mansion by the Luo family again, saying that Luo's third son's illness had recurred.

The next day. Steward Yu went to Xia's Mansion to talk about it, saying that he would send Xia Zhengqian to prison and asked them what to do. Xia Zhengshen took out the household registration and said that the three rooms had been separated. What Xia Zhengqian committed had nothing to do with them, if there was anything to do with the Luo family, go directly to the old mansion to find Shu's.

When the housekeeper came out of the Xia Mansion, rumors spread quietly around here, and everyone was talking about the old lady and the old lady of the Xia family who drove Sanfang out of the house because of Xia Langzhong's crime.

This embarrassed Xia Zhenghao.

As a showman, he values fame more than money. This. He is different from his eldest brother Xia Zhengshen. But the Xia family is the old lady and Xia Zhengshen are in charge, and he has nothing to do.

Among the ordinary people in the south of the city, there are many people who have received Xia Zhengqian's favor. As soon as he heard the news, someone came to visit Shu's. Except for Shu's family, who had been closed the door since the last time he went out to buy furniture, he finally learned the news of Xia Zhengqian's imprisonment, and he fainted for a while.

"Mother, mother!" Xia Qi was horrified and poured water in the pinch. finally woke up Shu, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried.

Xia Jin listened to this cry. Standing aside with a headache and waiting for them to calm down, he prescribed a calming prescription and called his subordinates to fry them.

Finally, Shu Shi drank the soothing medicine and fell asleep, so she pulled Xia Qi out and said, "Uncle, they separated us early, they must have gotten some news, and they know that there is such a day." They may have some channels to find out the news, why don't we go over and ask. Anyway, even if it is divided, we are also members of the Xia family, and when my father makes money in the future, they come to ask for it, and we have to give it. That being the case, now the eldest and second uncles can't ignore us! ”

As soon as Xia Qi heard this, the fire in his heart "soared", and he sneered: "In the past, my father could make money, but they dragged us to the death and didn't allow us to split up; Now that there is a slight wave, they quickly put us aside, for fear of being implicated. The Luo family is not a fool, the uncle said that it is irrelevant, it is really irrelevant? Anyway, they can't leave this matter alone, I'll go to them! ”

Xia Jin nodded again and again, his red eyes drooped his eyelids, and he looked heartbroken: "Uncle's approach is really chilling." If there is a benefit, you will get it, and if there is no benefit, you will hide, is this still a relative? Not even as good as those enthusiastic neighbors. ”

Xia Qi was picked on by her like this, and the evil fire in her heart burned more and more. He gritted his teeth and went out the door, saying as he went: "Even if they don't stretch out their hands, I will have to trouble him, so that he will not have the face to come to us again in the future." He turned around and said, "You take care of your mother at home, and I'll go back." ”

Xia Jin was relieved and followed behind him: "No, I'm afraid you'll suffer if you go alone, I'll go with you." ”

Xia Qi wanted to refuse. But think about it now, my sister is no longer a little sheep, her words and actions are fierce, when he was beaten for drinking as a prostitute, it was his sister who came out to calm the field, let him beat a few boards, and found out the mastermind behind the scenes. usually suppresses his ruthlessness, which makes him feel worried. Xu She followed, and she was more courageous.

So the brother and sister took a carriage to Xia Mansion.

Because of Xia Zhengqian's matter, the Xia family was a little panicked, for fear of being involved, and they were gathering in the old lady's room to talk and discuss. Suddenly, I heard a report from the next person, saying that the sixth young master and the fifth girl were coming, and they all looked at each other, and then they all set their eyes on the old lady.

"What are they doing here? Missing! Let them go back. The old lady said in a vicious voice.

"Mother, if you don't let them in, if there is a disturbance at the door, our reputation will not be good." Xia Zhenghao frowned.

Seeing that the old lady was still dissatisfied, Xia You also echoed beside her: "The second uncle still has to take the exam, and the second brother and the fifth brother have to take the Xiucai exam, this unfilial reputation spreads, I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression on the examiner, and no matter how well the article is written, it will be in vain." ”

As soon as she heard that it would affect the future of her children and grandchildren, the old lady couldn't take it seriously, raised her chin and said to her subordinates: "Let them in." ”

After a while, Xia Qi and Xia Jin came in, and bowed to the old lady and a few people, Xia Qi knelt down and cried to the old lady: "I heard that my father was sent to prison, my mother fainted, my brother and sister are still young, the six gods have no master, and they are at a loss, and now they can only come to ask for grandmother, uncle, and second uncle." I also hope that my grandmother and uncle will try their best to save me. ”

Knowing that the occasion was wrong, the corners of Xia Jin's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

She didn't expect that the simple-minded Xia Qi would come to such a show. Obviously, he gritted his teeth outside the door, hating these people and hating them, but as soon as he entered the door, he knew that the mourning soldiers went first, and he paid attention to his strategy.

Xia Qi knelt down and cried like this, and the room was so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were falling. Xia Zhengshen and the eldest lady looked anxious, for fear that the old lady would be soft-hearted; And Xia Zhenghao looked embarrassed, and there seemed to be an unbearable look in his eyes; The second lady sat there, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What are you crying about? I'm not dead yet! The old lady looked disgusted, and the words she said were extremely ugly, "Now I know that I came to beg, what did I do in the first place?" In order to give Sister Jin a retirement, regardless of how many catties he had, he took the liberty of going to the door to recommend himself to practice medicine. When I said a few words to him, he clamed out to split up. Even the old mother and brother don't care, the son of unfilial piety, it's not a pity to die! Now that they have been divided, let each one go his own way, and let no one ask for another. If you have any problems, solve them yourself, don't come to me, I don't care. ”

With that, she got up and went to the back room, and said viciously: "Drive them out, I am upset to look at them." ”

The old lady's attitude towards the people in the third room has always been so bad, Xia Qi was not angry at all when he heard these words, he only raised his head and said loudly: "In the past, my father got up early and was greedy for darkness, regardless of the dirty and tired to treat people, and he could earn at least twenty taels of silver a month, and from time to time there were a few taels of silver as a reward. In the past ten years, I have also earned two or three thousand taels, and the government has taken this money and bought a lot of shops and fields.

But when we were separated, except for the dilapidated old house, we didn't have a penny. If we usually do it, we suffer some losses, so we should honor our grandmother and uncle and second uncle, and we don't care about the money. But now that Luo Futuo has put down his words, he only needs to take three hundred taels of silver to avoid prison, and this money has to be paid here anyway. Otherwise, it would be a great injustice! ”

"Are you forcing me to ask for money?" The old lady stopped, turned around and stared at Xia Qi coldly.

In the past, Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi swallowed their anger, and Xia Qi and Xia Jin didn't dare to breathe when they saw her. Now that they are just separated, they began to kick their noses in the face, daring to force her face.

"This money should have been taken by my family, what is forced or not, grandmother speaks and is very thoughtful, don't let people misunderstand!" Xia Qi raised his voice.

This poor child was probably bullied by Xia Jin during this time, and he was holding his breath in his heart. Recently, a series of major events have happened, which makes him resentful every time he thinks about it. Once it occurs today, it will be like a volcanic eruption, and in front of the old lady and all the elders, he will be sharp and fearless.

"You, you ......" The old lady shook her hand and pointed at Xia Qi so angry that she didn't know what to do. She looked left and right, picked up a small pestle next to her and threw it at Xia Qi. Xia Jin's eyes were quick, and he pulled Xia Qi to the side, and the little pestle narrowly crossed Xia Qi's feet and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Grandmother!" Xia You exclaimed, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Qi was not injured. The old lady likes to smash people's faults, and she doesn't know when she can change it.

"Beat me out of this evil beast, and never enter the door." The old lady pointed at Xia Qi and shouted.

"Brother Qi, you go back first." Xia Zhenghao grabbed Xia Qi's arm, glanced at him, and leaned into his ear to whisper a few words of goodwill.
