Skillful Wife of Military - C31
“What are you planning ahead of time? What else do you want? You dishonorable thing, but after hearing someone talk about it for a while, you started to blindly think about it. Your daughter pointed at my face and scolded me. You don’t even dare to touch her or your fingers, do you not want me to live? “Then I might as well die clean now. Come, come, hurry and kill me! Clean everyone!” As the Xiao Li’s disease spoke, he threw himself onto Xiao He’s body, and actually grabbed Xiao He’s hands to pinch his neck, and then caused a ruckus again!
Regardless if Zhou Yanxing was really sick, Xiao Li’s disease would definitely not let the money he got go. She only felt that the Zhou Family members were really dishonest, since they only added 20% to the betrothal gift because of the phthisis, it had to be doubled, no, double!
As for annulling the engagement, Xiao Li’s disease never thought about annulling the engagement. To his, her granddaughter was merely a money loser, and a daughter who had annulled his marriage wouldn’t be easy to find. Her granddaughter marrying into another family, what did it have to do with her, and how he sold Xiao Xiuer to the highest amount of money, was what she cared about the most!
Xiao Xiuer looked at his father’s anxious and helpless appearance, and then looked at the bruise on his mother’s head. She couldn’t help but bite her lips; If Zhou Yanxing really got phthisis, then this grandpa would probably let her marry again!
Rather than being toyed with like this, Xiao Xiuer would rather die!
“Let’s cry, let’s fight, let’s hang ourselves”, the words Xu Hui said right before she left, suddenly surfaced in Xiao Xiuer’s mind. She bit her lips, stood up, turned around and ran out.
“Sis, what are you doing?” Xiao Huaer was shocked, and immediately shouted.
Xiao Xiuer’s indignant and despairing voice could clearly be heard: “I’m not going to live anymore, I’m going to die cleanly!”
What? Xiao Xiuer wants to seek death?
Everyone were stunned, the Xiao Li’s disease’s hands loosened immediately. He was only using the chance to suppress the Second Brother’s family and did not dare to miss the betrothal gift anymore. She did not want to force Xiao Xiuer to his death. It didn’t matter if Zhou Yanxing was sick or not, if something really happened to Xiao Xiuer, all the betrothal gift money would go flying!
Xiao Pao, who had always been smoking with his head lowered, suddenly stood up and shouted at Xiao He and Zhang Shi: “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take a look! ”
Everyone rushed out!
Fortunately, when he heard that Xiao Xiuer had saved him not long after he hung his neck on her, and that nothing serious had happened, Xu Hui heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was still a bit uneasy in his heart. While everyone was returning to their room to rest, he secretly brought Niu Niu to see Xiao Xiuer.
In the middle, there was a main house for guests. The Xiao Pao s lived in the east wing and the Xiao Li’s disease s, the Xiao Hu family lived in the west wing; the west wing was occupied by Xu Hui and Xiao Da Yong, and the east wing was occupied by Xiao He and his family. As Xiao Xiuer was not small, the side room was not as big as the upper room.
Now, after such a thing had happened to Xiao Xiuer, the Zhang family steeled their hearts and rushed Xiao Hu into the adobe room, bringing Xiao Xiuer and Xiao Huaer back to the east wing, the three of them should live together.
When Xu Hui sneaked over, Zhang Shi and Xiao Huaer were sitting on the brick bed, wiping away their tears. Xu Hui looked at Xiao Xiuer who was lying on the brick bed with a calm expression, and couldn’t help but sigh.
Xu Hui handed a bag of boiled eggs to Zhang Shi and said softly, “Second aunt, these are all cooked. Please give them to Xiu Er and Hua Er.”
Mrs. Zhang’s tears flowed again as she took the egg from Xu Hui’s hands, choked with sobs, “Dazong’s daughter-in-law, thank you so much for thinking about us. Who told you that letter? Is that true? ”
When Xiao Li’s disease and He’s came over to take a look when something happened to Xiu Er, they realized that Xiu Er was fine and said something sarcastic, but they never revealed it again. They only said that they would ask clearly about the Zhou Family and tell their families not to cause trouble.
Obviously it was her daughter’s marriage, but in this house, she could not even utter a single word. Zhang family was in too much pain and grievance, so they made up their minds to chase Xiao He out of the east wing.
Xu Hui nodded her head, and this time, she did not hide anything and directly said: “It’s Wang Daniu who brought me water. According to what her father Wang Changwang said, Wang Changwang will go to the Zhou Family’s Little Food Shop every day to bring the small dishes, and get to know the chef inside very well. From the cook’s mouth, the Zhou Family does not dare to let others know, the doctors that go to the county city to treat are all doctors.
With the last of her fantasies shattered, Zhang’s despair reached its peak. Tears streamed down her face, and she held onto her chest as if she couldn’t breathe!
Xu Hui looked at Mrs. Zhang who was crying like this and could not help but want to shout. What the hell was the use of crying here? If she really had the strength, she might as well go to the top room and cry while standing at their door.
However, she could not say such words. If the Second Branch wanted to rebel against the Xiao Li’s disease, she could just stand aside and help, but she could not let her charge into the fray. If the Second Branch retreated first, then Xu Hui would be stuck between the two sides!
Therefore, Xu Hui could only force herself to watch and listen. She tried her best not to say anything as she waited patiently.
No one noticed that ever since Xu Hui came in, Xiao Xiuer had been staring at her closely. When Xu Hui looked at Mrs Zhang crying, she unconsciously frowned and did not attract Mrs Zhang and Xiao Huaer’s attention, but Xiao Xiuer saw it clearly.
Xiao Xiuer suddenly sat up from the brick bed, climbed down the bed and kneeled in front of Xu Hui.
Xu Hui took a deep breath and subconsciously held Niu Niu’s hand tightly. Niu Niu looked at Xu Hui in surprise and patted his hand!
Xu Hui closed her eyes and let go of Niuniu’s hand. Fuck, one or two of you are kneeling down and you’re about to have mental problems. You’re still being comforted by Niuniu, that’s so shameful!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Hui stepped forward to help Xiao Xiuer up, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: “Xiu Er, what are you doing?”
“Sister-in-law, help me, what should I do now? Did Third Uncle and Third Aunt know that Zhou Yanxing was sick? Even if I knew that Zhou Yanxing got phthisis, would I still marry his? Sister-in-law, I don’t know what to do, please save me! ” Xiao Xiuer pleaded to Xu Hui with tears in her eyes.
Hearing Xiao Xiuer’s words, Xu Hui’s eyes lit up. This girl was much clearer than her parents!
Zhang Shi heard Xiao Xiuer’s words and was shocked. She cried and said: “Xiu Er, why do you think that? No, if Zhou Yanxing is really sick, then your grandfather won’t marry you over! ” Zhang would never have thought that any grandpa would marry his granddaughter to a tuberculosis addict.
The corner of Xu Hui’s mouth twitched. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and did not look at Zhang Clan. She still dared to have fantasies about Xiao Li’s disease and Xiao Pao.
Xiao Xiuer pulled Zhang Shi’s hand, and said solemnly: “Mother, we cannot have any luck now, we must prepare for the worst, or else, if Zhou Yanxing really has tuberculosis, I will definitely say that I do not have it, and will definitely marry me, what should we do?”
“No, no, how is that possible? Isn’t that sending you to your death, my poor Xiu Er, I’ll go find your grandpa now, I want to make things clear to them, I – ”
“Mother, there’s no use talking to them about this, they won’t tell you the truth!”
“Then what should we do? “Oh god, wuu!”
“Hua, help mom to rest on the brick bed!” Xiao Xiuer looked at Zhang Shi who was crying again, and helplessly let Xiao Huaer bring her over, then looked at Xu Hui and blessed himself. “Sister-in-law, please give me a chance to live!”
Xu Hui looked at Xiao Xiuer and asked softly, “Even if your parents don’t support you and your grandma objects, do you still want the Xiao family to be your enemy? Do you still want the path of survival that I point out?”
Xiao Xiuer looked at Xu Hui in shock, and Xu Hui looked at her quietly. In this house, if she wanted to live, she had to carry all the courage she had in order to fight to the end against Xiao Pao, He’s and the rest.
The two of them looked at each other for a while. Xiao Xiuer slowly nodded and said in a deep voice: “Please teach me, sister-in-law. I will definitely repay you in the future!”
If she did not want to help Xiao Xiuer, she would not come here tonight. On one hand, she didn’t like the actions of Xiao Pao and the others to help Xiao Xiuer. On the other hand, she wanted to find some help in the Xiao family for herself. In other words, she would fight for every possible strength, not fighting alone against Xiao Pao and the others, preparing for her and Xiao Da Yong’s peaceful days in the future.
Of course, these were all empty words. With the current fighting strength of Xiao He’s family, even Xu Hui did not fancy them, but they would at most train an informant. In the future, if Xiao Li’s disease and the rest had any tricks up their sleeves, they would just inform him.
Xu Hui pulled Xiao Xiuer closer to her and whispered something into her ear. The two of them exchanged knowing glances and Xu Hui smiled.
Picking up Niuniu, Xu Hui and the rest of them said their goodbyes and went back to their own rooms, waiting for the show to start.
Xiao He’s family who were making a ruckus, immediately calmed down after hearing the news that Xiao Hu had not been sick yet and was cleaning up his new home.
stayed in the hut to weave the dowry while Xiao Huaer continued to feed the chicken and mow the grass, as if nothing had changed.
Xiao Li’s disease and the rest were very satisfied with Xiao He and his family’s understanding. Xiao Hu had indeed gone to the Zhou family, and ignoring the obstructions of the Zhou family, he saw Zhou Yanxing, who was sick with tuberculosis. Then, after talking with the Zhou family members for a while, he increased the price of the betrothal gift to one hundred and twenty silver, and the date of the marriage did not change!
Of course, they did not tell this to Xiao He’s family, and Xiao Li’s disease even feigned magnanimity by adding two silver hairpins as a dowry for Xiao Xiuer.
Xu Hui did not say anything and quickly went to add on to Xiao Xiuer’s makeup with a pair of lilac earrings.
Xiao Li’s disease thought that he was extremely proud of himself as he firmly held Xiao He’s family and Xu Hui in his hands.
There were still three days left before the divorce, so the male partner had to send the female partner a “notice!” () A notice is something similar to a modern invitation card.)
It was early in the morning, and the sky was still dark. Xiao Li’s disease had already ordered a family to clean the courtyard, wash the items, and prepare food for the guests.
