Dou Fuxi said that he had three and a half sons, and he was very happy, not to mention that he had seven daughters, and a large group of grandsons and granddaughters.

You can really enjoy the family to the fullest.

Dou Fuxi has no opinion on this family business.

At this time, Dou Fuxi's wife, Dou Li, came out and saw the matchmaker, so she asked, "What's the good thing?" ”

"It's a good thing, didn't you ask me to find a mother-in-law for the seventh child last time?" The matchmaker said.

"Yes! That's what I said. Dou Li said.

"Now that I've found it, it's Xi Zili of Xizhuang." The matchmaker said.

"Xi Zili, such a familiar name."

"Yes, he is the richest man in Xizhuang, a family that makes a fortune in business, and he is well-known in the local area."

"Oh, by the way, I remembered it, he was collecting mountain goods and selling them, and then bringing them back from outside to sell, and the business was doing well, and both sides could make money. Doesn't he have a wife? Dou Li said.

"Yes, his main house died, and he didn't take a concubine yet, and he didn't plan to take a concubine, but after I did a job for him with my three-inch tongue, he agreed and asked me to propose marriage. As for me, I don't dare to call the shots, so I'll ask for the opinions of the two of you first, I have already told Dou Fuxi just now, now I can briefly tell you, if you agree, I will go to Xi Zili, and I will say that this family business, if you don't agree, I will also go to reply, and then introduce other women to Xi Zili. Now that I have met Qi'er's parents, what do you think? The matchmaker asked.

"I'm okay with that, it's up to her." Dou Fuxi said.

"What's going on with his family?" Dou Li asked.

"He's rich. His wife died, leaving behind a young son with only one son. The matchmaker said.

The matchmaker knew the purpose of Dou Li's questioning, so she completely eliminated her concerns.

Dou Li is very satisfied, although her daughter went to fill the house, but she has real power, Xi Zili has no concubines, Dou Qi'er went to the main house, and she will give birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, which will also stabilize the status of the family. All the money belongs to her, you know, it is very difficult to earn money now, do not experience poverty, do not know the importance of money.

Dou Fuxi and his wife are getting older, if they grind tofu and sell tofu, it is very difficult, the first six daughters are all average, and the sons-in-law are very ordinary, and they are not very wealthy, but Dou Qi'er married this one, rich, even if it is affordable to fill the house. If you can do this, I am afraid that you can bring wealth and luck to the Dou family, which is really good luck.

The couple had no opinion, and the matchmaker was very happy, this Xie matchmaker's money was safely in her pocket, and no one else could take it away anyway. So she immediately rushed to Xi Zili's house.

Xi Zili almost forgot about this, to be honest, he was doing business abroad, there was no shortage of women around him, he didn't pay much attention to women, he listened to the matchmaker a lot, he thought she was verbose, so he gave her silver and sent her away, but he didn't expect her to come back soon, this made him a little angry, but seeing the child next to him, it was not easy to have a seizure.

The matchmaker's eyebrows fluttered and said, "The Dou family agreed to the marriage. ”

Xi Zili suddenly remembered that the matchmaker proposed to him, that is, to marry the seventh daughter of the Dou family to him, he nodded and said, "You have worked hard, then work hard to arrange and marry." ”

And so it was settled.

Soon, Dou Qi'er passed the door and became Xi Zili's wife.

Who knew that things backfired, Dou Qi'er had only been married during that time, and her performance was good, and she didn't do anything to Xi Xiadong! Later, he slowly took advantage of Xi Zili's business to go out to do business and began to abuse Xi Xiadong.

Later, Dou Qi'er gave birth to a son herself, and she treated Xi Xiadong as a thorn in the flesh. Dou Qi'er, who came out of a poor family, knows how to toss Xi Xiadong to enjoy it.

Xi Zili was doing business outside, and he was very worried when he heard that Dou Qi'er was abusing his son, but he was doing business outside, and he couldn't watch his son every day, Dou Qi'er and the son he gave birth to also needed Dou Qi'er to take care of, so the two sons and one wife in the family couldn't do anything to Dou Qi'er, in case she offended her, she slapped her ass and left, and he really couldn't help it.

Just like that, just raise Xi Xiadong, it just so happened that Xi Zili was infected with a cold outside, and his illness was getting worse and worse, who knew that he was bedridden.

Dou Qi'er didn't expect that his life would be so hard, his mother's family was poor, he filled the house, and when he arrived at Xi Zili's house, he hadn't lived a good life for two years, Xi Zili was sick again, and it was very serious, and it seemed that he needed to be bedridden all year round.

This is very testing!

Seeing Xi Zili dying, described as withered and bedridden, this is worrying.

Dou Qi'er married Xi Zili, which is Xi Dou's family.

When Xi Dou saw that this family was about to disperse, he began to have crooked ideas, and the evil was born in guts, so he became murderous, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

How?

She pondered for a long time before she came up with a plan, and she began to implement it.

She said to Xi Xiadong: "Xia Dong, you are a good son, you are your father's baby, these years, as your stepmother, I haven't done a good job, don't hold grudges, I can't, look at how pitiful I am, I was born in a poor family, I have no money, I married your father, became your stepmother, and I have to take care of you, with your brother, I have to take care of your brother, now your brother needs to be taken care of, your father also needs to be taken care of, you have grown up, you have to bear the burden of the family, I am a woman, I show my head, I don't look good when I do it, I am afraid that others will see jokes, I'm also worried about what others are talking about. You are a good son, your father's right-hand man, and it's time to do something for your father. You tell me? ”

Xi Xiadong listened, I don't know what she was thinking, since he was a child, he has always been afraid of her! Now she suddenly says soft words, is this to coax people?

He didn't speak, and Xi Dou continued: "Look at it, your father is so good, and now he is terminally ill, but we can't afford not to give treatment, we can't let your father die suddenly, so we need to treat it well." If we are not cured and die, then what will our family live on? As she finished speaking, tears began to fall to the ground.

Xi Xiadong was still unmoved, he knew very well that his Xi Dou clan was a person who was good at disguising herself, that is, she was a hypocritical person.

"Xia Dong, you go to the city to buy some medicine, buy some better medicine, quickly, buy it back for your father to drink, so that he can get better as soon as possible." As long as he gets better, there is hope for our family. He is the pillar of our family, as long as he is okay with this pillar, everything else is fine. Xi Dou said.

Xi Xiadong still didn't speak, but his heart was slightly loosened, and he felt that no matter how bad Xi Dou's was, at least he was doing well at this moment, he was still a little worried, afraid that his father would die, if he died, it would not be good for her, because if his father was alive, he was his cash cow, and he could get money, and if he died, it would be equivalent to saying that there was no cash cow.

Xi Xiadong agreed, nodded, and went to the city, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, walked dozens of miles, and bought good medicine.

The city is really prosperous, there are all kinds of medicines, and there are other interesting things, but Xi Xiadong didn't dare to stay, because his father was still waiting for the medicine to cure the disease on the hospital bed, hoping that these medicines could cure the disease and make his father get better as soon as possible.

Xi Xiadong thought to himself, why did his stepmother find out in conscience? Now you are suddenly kind to your father and yourself? Could it be that her father's illness scared her? Because she can't make money because she is sick, she was born in a poor family and has no money, so she attaches great importance to money, just to see if she has money, if she has money, she will live with you, and if she has no money, she will say goodbye.

There are many such people, and they are everywhere around her, and her performance is understandable.

It was a big fortune that she didn't die in her hands when she was a child, but now she suddenly changed, is it a discovery of conscience? is still sincerely willing to let her father recover so that she can earn money for her and her younger brother.

You know, my brother is not at fault.

He is also the son of the father, and because of this he has to endure. She was suddenly kind to her father, indicating that it was profitable.

Because of his humble background, everything must be carefully calculated, and he can't waste it, because of waste, what he saves is earned.

As soon as he was happy, he had to do something. I thought that my stepmother was also getting old, and now that the child is still young, I definitely hope that my father will live.

Thinking about it like this, he knew it in his heart, so he said, "Mother, I'll go and boil medicine for my father!" ”

As soon as Xi Dou heard this, Xi Xiadong called her mother, and her heart was sour, and tears rolled down.

Xi Xiadong saw her crying and asked, "Why are you crying?" ”

"Son! You're so sensible, this makes you feel moved! It seems that our family is counting on you in the future, and your brother is still young. Your father's illness will be cured soon, and there is hope for both of us, if your father doesn't carry it, then I hope you will pick up the burden of the family. ”

Xi Dou began to cry again as he spoke.

Xi Xiadong couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he went to stay up late, sighing while boiling medicine, this person is really strange, and he is really fast to change! I don't know if I don't encounter a big event, but I have a performance after I encounter it.

After boiling the medicine, Xi Xiadong personally handed it over to Xi Dou.

Xi Dou said: "You have worked hard, go and be busy with you, you are too tired, I will serve your father to drink medicine." Presumably, if you drink this medicine, you will be cured immediately. ”

"Okay, then I'll take care of it, I still have some work to do in the field. I'm going to do it! Xi Xiadong said.

"Go, go, I'm here!" Xi Dou said.

So, Xi Xiadong went to work in the field with peace of mind.

Not long after, someone came to call him: "It's not good to hurry up, your father is not good, hurry up and go home and have a look!" ”

Xi Xiadong panicked when he heard the news, he didn't want a hoe, and stumbled back.

When he got home, he saw his father bleeding from all his orifices, lying upright on the bed, his body stiff and cold. His father Xi Zili was completely dead, and his life was whimpering!

As soon as Xi Dou saw Xi Xiadong, he grabbed him by the collar and said, "You are a murderer!" Xi Zili was poisoned by your Xi Xiadong. Go, go to court, you ruthless guy, compensate my husband, compensate my youngest son's father! ”

When Xi Xiadong saw his father like this, he was sad, and before he could kneel, he was severely criticized by his stepmother and dragged him to see the official.

When the local security officer saw it, he had to appease everyone first, arrange someone to protect the scene, and then go to see the official together.

When Tang Lu saw them coming, he asked about the situation and understood the general content.

Xi Dou's kept accusing Xi Xiadong of poisoning, and scolded Xi Xiadong with a handful of snot and tears, not a thing, nor a person, he was really the most ruthless person in the world.

As soon as Tang Lu saw this situation, he immediately sent someone to see the corpse and conduct an examination, and he bore the brunt of it, which was his job.

Soon, after the inspection, he took out a report, saying that the deceased Xi Zili, male, 51 years old, Xi Zhuang, a native of Xi Zhuang, made a living in business, had two words, his wife died of illness, and married another woman, Fuzheng, Xi Dou, a son born to his deceased wife, named Xi Xiadong, Xi Dou later gave birth to a son, who was still young. Xi Zili was poisoned, not a suicide.

Tang Lu read the report and understood. Observe before you decide.

He can only choose to retreat and see if there is a turnaround.

"Xi Xiadong, you said, did you poison your father?"

"Oh, no, no, my lord, I didn't poison me, how did I die, I hope that my lord will find out the culprit, eliminate everyone's horror and suspicion, and return to a healthy and natural state, this is the best." Xi Xiadong said.

"Okay, you said it wasn't you, your stepmother said it was you, after an autopsy, it was indeed poisoned and died, this case has been shelved for the time being, waiting for news, you are the most suspicious, temporarily wronged you, go to prison for a few days, and then make a final decision after the case is clarified." Tang Lu said.

"My lord, this is not a small case. The father's kindness to the little is like a mountain, the little one has no mother since he was a child, the father takes special care of the small, for the small, I am afraid that the former mother and stepmother are not good to the small, and has never married a wife, and later, I can't stand the matchmaker's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so that the father moved his heart and found this woman, this woman is good and evil, two-faced, in front of the father, very good to the small, behind the father, during the father's business, she abused the small, the small grew up in a difficult and difficult environment, and got exercise. I never thought that Xi Dou's would regard the small one as a thorn in the flesh, and if he wanted to get rid of it quickly, he would find a way to get out of this case, and blame the father for not listening to the matchmaker's words, this is to lure the wolf into the house, and finally let the Xi family die, this Xi Dou is a fox spirit, a harmful spirit. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, it's not your turn to say what the hell is. The official has found out that you went into the city to buy this medicine, and then you took it home and you boiled it yourself, do you think what the official said is correct about these two facts? Tang Lu asked.

"Yes, my lord, it's true. The medicine is bought in small quantities, and it is also boiled in small quantities, and there is nothing wrong with this. Xi Xiadong said.

"Since you did it, it is difficult to eliminate suspicion of you, your stepmother treats you badly and abuses you, and you are already dead, it seems that she did not want to kill you. It's still giving you a way out. No matter how bad your stepmother is, she also gave birth to your father and added a younger brother to you, you should thank her. Why is it that if something happens now, it will be ruthlessly attacked, what is going on? No matter how you explain it, you can't shirk responsibility at this time. Someone came, put Xi Xiadong in prison and waited for trial. Tang Lu said, "Oh, no, sign and draw the charge first, and then go to the prison to await trial." ”
