Chapter 9: Crooked Strikes
Xu Maoyuan, who had been silent and didn't speak, suddenly spoke, "Huaiyi, you get up first......"
"Uncle?" Xu Huaiyi hesitated, looked at this, looked at that, with an expression that he didn't know what to do, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a weak wretch.
But now, everyone else in the room thinks they were naΓ―ve before.
"Get up and talk again!" Xu Maoyuan grimaced and slightly accentuated his tone, "You're right, what are you doing kneeling?" The man has gold under his knees, stand up! β
"Yes, I listen to my uncle's ......" Xu Huaiyi stood up quickly this time, his eyes were slightly stunned, revealing a bit of straightforwardness, looking closely, his eyes were clear and open.
Xu Maoyuan sighed, "What you just said, just talk about it in this house, don't spread it outside, it's not good for you and our Xu family......"
Xu Huaiyi looked aggrieved, "I don't want to say it, but if I don't say it, what should I do if my mother misunderstands that I am not filial?" β
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she almost didn't catch her breath, "You, you ......"
Xu Maoshan glanced at her with a heavy gaze, and without saying anything, he let Mrs. Zhao hang her head, probably holding back too hard, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Xu Huaiyi sneered in his heart and turned a blind eye.
Xu Maoyuan slapped the table and made a final decision, "Who dares to say that you are not filial?" You're all for this home...... If you do that, how can you be filial? β
This was said to Xu Maoshan and Mrs. Zhao, when he proposed to be the son-in-law of the Gu family, he disagreed, and the Xu family was not cornered, where did the children of the family need to make this kind of sacrifice?
It's too embarrassing, it's just an insult to the ancestors.
But by the time he tried to stop it, the lustful document had already settled.
Now by turning over old accounts, he can vent his anger.
"Uncle......" Xu Huaiyi's emotions came as soon as he said it, and he immediately had red circles in his eyes, and he looked so moved that he choked, "Thank you, with your words, I will be blinded." β
Xu Maoyuan immediately reprimanded unhappily, "What nonsense? What a dead and undead, good luck! β
Xu Huaiyi hurriedly snorted a few times, "You are right, I have to live well, and I have to fulfill my father-in-law's entrustment, take care of my daughter-in-law, and raise my daughter." β
Xu Maoyuan nodded and asked with some concern, "What's wrong with your daughter-in-law?" After taking Dr. Jiao's medicine, will it get better? β
Finally waited for this, Xu Huaiyi sighed worriedly, "I don't know yet, I'm looking at it now...... Alas, Dr. Jiao said, let's take a look after eating those pairs, even if you save them, in the future, you won't be able to do your job, and you have to take medicine, otherwise...... Alas, I don't have any way now, and the last dowry was sold for me, and I don't have any skills, I can't make a few dollars, so can I only look at the will of God in the future? Alas, there really came a day, and I couldn't live, so I could only die and apologize to my father-in-law......"
After a long sigh, the meaning could not be clearer.
Ask for silver!
If they don't have any money, they are forced to die.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Wang Suyun tugged at her heart and secretly gave her man a look.
Xu Huairen didn't receive it, he was completely immersed in his complex emotions, he couldn't figure it out, obviously he called the third child to come in at the beginning to settle the account, why did he develop to this point in a daze?
Xu Maoyuan waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no one to say anything, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he simply asked Xu Maoshan on his face, "What do you say about this?" β
Xu Maoshan looked embarrassed and sighed, "Big brother, what can I say?" The money in the house, alas, is in the hands of his mother, you can ask, how much can you take out......"
Before Xu Maoyuan could open his mouth, Mrs. Zhao hissed, "No! Not a single penny! The family has long been unable to open the pot, and if you are poor and eat one meal a day, you will be stuck in your neck and waiting to die, how can you have the money to go to the doctor? β
When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he immediately made an expression of shock and disbelief, "Nothing? What can the fifth brother do when he reads? I heard that for the test of Xiucai, you will get more than a dozen taels of silver just to sign up, and you will also need two taels of bundles every month, as well as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., where to get this? Do you want to let the fifth brother go home and farm? β
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she couldn't wait to bite him, "You dare to curse your brother......"
Xu Huaiyi said innocently, "No, I'm just curious to ask, did you say that your family has no money, not to mention my daughter-in-law's medicine money, where does the fifth brother's money come from?" β
Mrs. Zhao snorted, "What kind of thing is your daughter-in-law?" Can she compare to your fifth brother? Your fifth brother is the Wenqu star in the sky, and your daughter-in-law is a cheap life......"
"Shut up!" Xu Maoshan shouted at her, turned his head and explained to Xu Maoyuan, who was angry and his face was pale, "Big brother, she has long hair and short knowledge, don't worry about her......"
Xu Maoyuan patted the kang, "Okay, I don't care about her, I'll just ask you, what is going on?" You also take the words from the side to perfunctory me, I know how many family backgrounds you have, and the people in our village are not all blind, they have bright eyes and bright eyes, you live in a big tile house, and Huaiyu is still studying in the town......"
With a sigh of relief, he said earnestly, "Even if you don't look at Huaiyi and his daughter-in-law, don't look at your deceased in-laws, and don't care about the reputation of our Xu family, don't you think about Huaiyu?" He is a reader, what is the most important thing about a reader? If people know that because of his study, he harmed his sister-in-law's life, he is a Wenqu star, and it is useless! β
Xu Maoshan's complexion finally changed, and this threat hit the point.
Seeing this, Wang Suyun was anxious, and pushed Xu Huairen hard, Xu Huairen was finally sober at this time, and it was rare to be anxious, "Uncle, you forgot one thing, Huaiyi, Huaiyi is now a member of the Gu family, and he has nothing to do with the Xu family for a long time, but he is just temporarily living in the Xu family......
Xu Maoyuan was stunned.
Mrs. Zhao shouted excitedly, "Yes, what the boss said is right, this little beast was the Gu family two years ago, and his daughter-in-law saw a doctor and grabbed medicine, whether she was dead or alive, that was the Gu family's business, why should you use the Xu family's money?" There is no such truth in the world! The whole village knows that the Gu family and the Xu family are two families, written in black and white, all written on the paperwork, saying that the sky is broken, it is also two families, since it is two families, whether his daughter-in-law is dead or alive, why should it affect the reputation of our family Huaiyu? β
After a crazy output, Mrs. Zhao was happy, and there was undisguised malice and happiness in her eyes when she looked at Xu Huaiyi, she never liked this son, she never ......
Xu Maoshan was also relieved, but he still made a tangled expression on his face, "Big brother, look at this, this matter is making trouble, alas, I didn't take care of it......"
Xu Maoyuan asked Xu Huaiyi with a stiff expression, "What else do you want to say?" β
What do you want to say? He is now happy to go out and set off firecrackers to celebrate!
I didn't plan to do anything, but I didn't expect it to be crooked, and it was done!
He's a clever ghost!
Xu Huaiyi pressed down his excitement and made an expression of sadness more than death, "I have nothing to say, what my eldest brother said is right, what my mother said is also true, I have never had a choice." β
There was only one way for him to leave the house.
