Since Shen Ling rushed to Taihang Cottage, five or six days have passed, and only Xu Huiniang and her sister Hu Qingqing are in charge of the family.

On this day, the weather was good, the sky was clear, Xu Huiniang washed the sheets and old clothes, and dried them in the yard with her daughter.

"Mother, these clothes are so old, they can't be washed off." Hu Qingqing opened one and shook it in the sun.

Xu Huiniang smiled and said:

"Don't dislike these old things, they keep us warm and dressed, and they used to be glamorous, but now they are old, and they can't be discarded casually. Now that the East Mansion is not rich, won't they come in handy again? ”

"My mother is right, Qingqing has learned." Hu Qingqing hung up her clothes and smiled obediently.

Xu Huiniang nodded, and while feeling relieved, she remembered her husband and son.

It's been a few days since Ling Er left home, and I heard Qingqing say that if it were at his speed, I'm afraid he would have arrived at Taihang Cottage long ago?

Did he run into his father, and were they both safe?

The bandits in Taihang Cottage are particularly vicious, there are a large number of them, can Ling Er deal with it?

The mother of the son is worried, and the wife is not emaciated.

Xu Huiniang had something in her heart, and she couldn't help but be stunned, but she was seen by her goddaughter and comforted sensibly:

"Mother, Uncle Shen and brother will definitely be fine, you can put ten thousand hearts on this. My brother has now resumed his cultivation, and those mountain bandits are no opponent at all. ”

"That'll be fine." Xu Huiniang nodded, "When they come back, our family can finally be reunited, even if the days ahead are more difficult, as long as everyone is there, there is still hope." ”

"Mother, how can you say this. My brother and Uncle Shen went to the mountain bandits to ask for a debt, and this account is going to come back, won't the good days of our Dongfu come? ”

Hu Qingqing said assumedly.

Xu Huiniang smiled, "That's right, if you really want to get the account back, the Shen family will definitely correct the name of Dongfu." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"This is the Shen Family's East Mansion? Can Mrs. Xu of Dongfu be at home? ”

Xu Huiniang was stunned, listening to this accent a little familiar, so she replied:

"Who are you? This is Dongfu, what are you looking for me? ”

"I'm from Xifu, and I'm here to find Mrs. Xu to go to Xifu to discuss important matters."

"It turned out to be from Xifu, no wonder..."

Xu Huiniang was about to open the door, but Hu Qingqing grabbed her and said worriedly:

"Mother, the people from the West Mansion came at this time, and it was clear that they were bullying our master of the East Mansion when he was not there, so don't agree to him."

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Xu Huiniang smiled and got rid of her daughter's hand, stepped forward to open the door, and the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes in front of her was indeed an inferior housekeeper in Xifu.

"Mrs. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time..."The housekeeper of Xifu bowed respectfully, but he could also carry the dignity and humility.

"Well, listening to what you just said, could it be that the head of the Shen family is looking for me? What do you know? Xu Huiniang asked unhurriedly.

The housekeeper of Xifu had a difficult face:

"Please forgive Madame, the little one is not clear, the master only said that I should invite Madame to come, and I didn't mention the extra half a word."

"It's so mysterious, it's like the style of Xifu."

"Madam, if it's convenient for you, the little one will show you the way..."

The housekeeper of Xifu made a gesture of invitation, and without waiting for Xu Huiniang to answer, Hu Qingqing came over from behind and said coldly:

"My mother is not going anywhere, you can go back quickly!"

Hearing this, the housekeeper of the West Mansion turned pale and looked at the Lady of the East Mansion, showing a look of embarrassment.

Xu Huiniang looked solemn and said to her daughter:

"He's just a subordinate, you don't have to be so him. Although my Dongfu has fallen, it is still not falling, and I must follow the rules of the family. Now that my husband is gone, I am the head of the family, and if I don't go, I will let them underestimate me. ”

The housekeeper of Xifu listened with admiration and praised:

"Madame is well-informed, and the little one admires it very much."

"Without further ado, lead the way!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The housekeeper of Naxi Mansion led the way for Xu Huiniang, who had just taken two steps, and Hu Qingqing hurriedly exclaimed:

"Mother, you can't go, they must have bad intentions in Xifu, you are alone, if you suffer..."

"Don't worry, my mother is also a little famous in the rivers and lakes, and the jackals raised in Xifu can't hurt me. Qing'er, you are waiting here, and you must not cause trouble. ”

"Mother..."

Xu Huiniang didn't wait for her daughter to say more, so she followed the housekeeper of Xifu and left quickly.

"No, I promised my brother that I must protect my mother well, and I can't make any mistakes!"

Thinking about this, Hu Qingqing turned into a ray of white light and drilled into Xu Huiniang's sleeve.

......

......

Shen Jiaxi Mansion, Council Chamber.

The second master Shen summoned the main members of the older generation of the Shen clan, plus Shen Hongyi, the head of the family, and was quietly waiting for a person to appear.

On the table, the tea had already been cold, but no one dared to taste it, and everyone didn't even dare to speak in a low voice because of the presence of the second master Shen, and they sat down one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Shen Hongyi broke the silence, personally changed the hot tea for Shen Second Master, and asked with a smile:

"Second grandfather, Xu Huiniang, she... She's definitely not coming, is she? ”

Second Master Shen seemed to close his eyes and recuperate, and said leisurely:

"The daughter-in-law of the second family, no matter what, is still very capable of carrying things, this time, she will definitely come, you can wait patiently."

Someone asked again:

"That woman is strong in martial arts, if she disobeys the Shen family's decision later... I'm afraid, let's... We can't protect ourselves..."

"Yes, Xu Huiniang has a family boxing technique, it is rumored that a palm can kill a strong horse, let's not talk about a palm, even if you are scared, you can be scared to death."

Hearing this, Second Master Shen opened his eyes, knocked on the dragon's head cane, and snorted coldly:

"Look at your breath! What are we here for, have we all forgotten? ”

The Shen family members present looked at each other, all of them showing embarrassment.

"Second brother, the brothers are all old and can't stand the toss. Since the daughter-in-law of the second family came to our Shen family, she can be regarded as abiding by the woman's way and helping the Shen family a lot, so we don't have to... Fall into the ground, right? ”

The one who said this was the third brother of the second master Shen, the third master of Shen.

"Third child, what did I tell you before I came? There can be no mercy! Xu Huiniang's background is low, she is a rural village woman, and she is not in the same household as my Shen family, if she hadn't given birth to a son, she would have been driven away a long time ago. Now, his son has been expelled by others, losing the face of the Shen family, and Dongfu is also in ruins, as the wife of Dongfu, she has something to do with it! ”

The second master Shen was angry, and at this time, Shen Hongyi, the head of the Shen family, said on the side:

"Second grandfather, do you really want to expel your brother and daughter-in-law from the Shen family? Now that Hongyuan is not here, we are good at making claims, which is not appropriate..."

"Hmph, Hongyuan is not here, we can do it, if his donkey is here, it is really possible to tear down our old bones!"

Then.

The council hall walked into a small room, bowed down and asked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the head of the family, Mrs. Xu of Dongfu has arrived, and she is waiting outside the door..."

As soon as they heard that Xu Huiniang had arrived, everyone in the Shen family was in great spirits, but their expressions were different, with different thoughts.

Among them, only the second master Shen had a serious expression, bent on expelling Mrs. Dongfu, even Shen Hongyi was worried that his younger brother would find Xifu in the future and make a disturbing mess.

"Then she should come in..."Second Master Shen said lightly.

"Okay, sir..."

The little guy left, and after a while, Xu Huiniang walked in slowly.

She walked steadily, neither humble nor arrogant, and when she saw that everyone in the Shen family was there, she smiled at it, very calmly, and had her own demeanor.

Someone couldn't help but secretly say:

"Can this also be called a country woman?"

Xu Huiniang's aura was particularly strong, and when she walked into the hall, she only gave a slight salute, then smiled slightly, and said:

"The people in Xifu are here, and the second master is also here, it seems that the matter to be discussed today is not simple?"
