Skillful Wife of Military - C4

Seeing their own families making Qiao Jieer and Feng’s disease quarrel with the mother and daughter, both Xu Jingyao and Zhou’s had a slightly awkward expression. Xu Jingan, who couldn’t even get up from his seat while being supported by Xu Rui, coughed non-stop in anger and anxiety upon seeing this scene.

Xu Hui looked coldly at the Feng’s disease and her daughter who were about to cause a ruckus, and said in a deep voice, “Do you really need me to write a divorce letter to be willing to listen to you? Have you forgotten all about what happened in Python County? ”

Feng’s disease and Xu Qiaozhu looked at each other in astonishment. Although Qiao Jieer wasn’t really close with them in the past, but she was still a very gentle person and rarely talked to them like this. Feng’s disease didn’t forget how angry Xu Jingan was at the time. If not for Xu Qiaozhu and Xu Rui kneeling and begging on the ground, Xu Jingan would have written a letter on the spot to divorce Feng’s disease.

Furthermore, she had two children. Even if it was so difficult for her now, if she were to be abandoned, there would be no other place for her.

Seeing that Feng’s disease and Xu Qiaozhu were hiding at the side and not making any more noise, Xu Hui heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhou’s glanced at Xu Hui in admiration. Under such a circumstance, if Qiao Jieer were to establish her own power, she should be able to control this mother and daughter duo!

The Zhou’s smiled and said, “This was given to us by our kind neighbors. Our house was empty, so we asked our neighbors whether they could live there, and when our neighbor’s wife was warm-hearted, she not only let us stay at her house, but also gave us some cakes. What can we do tonight?”

Xu Hui said honestly, “I’m in a difficult situation. It’s great that Second Aunt is here, so take me to a neighbor as well. Our distant relatives are not as close as our neighbors, so we’re not familiar with each other. If we meet a friendly neighbor, then we’ll be of great help!”

“That’s exactly the reason, I think Qiao Jieer is the one who knows her limits. Then, Master, you take care of Big Brother and the rest, I will accompany Qiao Jieer out!”

Xu Jingyao did not have any objections, the house that he got was a little far from here, and there were many elderly and children in his house, so even if they wanted to help Xu Jingan’s family, they would not be able to do much, and this was exactly his plan after bringing Zhou’s over.

Thus, Xu Hui asked the Feng’s disease and Xu Qiaozhu to tidy up the room at home first, and she herself prepared to follow the Zhou’s to visit the neighboring houses.

Since he was going to his neighbor’s house, he naturally could not go empty-handed. Xu Hui searched his body, other than the gold leaf in his belt, he had to keep it for Xu Jingan’s treatment, what should he do with nothing on his body?

Xu Hui thought for a moment and said, “It’s not good to be empty-handed when visiting for the first time. I remember that Qiao Zhu once bought a comb in Python County. Although it wasn’t worth much money, it had a unique style.

Just as Xu Hui finished her sentence, Xu Qiaozhu immediately screamed, “I am not, where is the comb comb?” Then, he looked at Feng’s disease with an extremely aggrieved expression as she dragged out her voice, “Mother —”

Feng’s disease grabbed Xu Qiaozhu and glared at Xu Hui. “Pitiful, we were sent to jail without knowing anything, we didn’t even have a single cent on us, where would we have the chance to buy a comb? Qiao Jieer, stop blabbering nonsense!”

Xu Hui looked up and down at Feng’s disease. Her eyes were cold and sharp, and Feng’s disease could not help but shrink back. “When that happens, you’ll have to bring out all of them!”

Feng’s disease looked at Xu Hui in shock. How did this little bastard know that she had hidden some money? Could it be a trick?

However, seeing Xu Hui’s assured look, Feng’s disease rolled her eyes, still not daring to take the risk. She clenched her teeth, took out the comb from Xu Qiaozhu’s bosom, and threw it to Xu Hui, saying, “I wrung my own hair for my daughter’s comb, and you still want to remember it? How could there be such a heartless sister in this world? Zhu Er, Ruigol, why are our lives so bitter? “A day’s worth of hard work …”

Xu Hui ignored the Feng’s disease’s wails and shouts and asked Xu Jingyao to take care of Xu Jingan as he went with him to the nearest neighbor’s house.

After walking for about ten meters, Xu Hui saw a courtyard that was only half the height of a person and was surrounded by clumps of soil and branches. After walking for about ten meters, Xu Hui saw a courtyard that was about half the height of a man and surrounded by clumps of soil and branches.

Zhou’s knocked on the door and shouted a few times. A woman of about thirty years old walked out. She was wearing a blue cotton shirt and a blue dress with her hair wrapped in a blue flowery scarf.

“Who are you looking for?” the woman asked.

The Zhou’s explained her purpose for coming. The woman sized them up and said, “So it turns out that you guys are new here. You already said that someone will come in the next few days. Come in quickly and take a seat, don’t turn your back on me! ”

These were all the old residents of the village. Seeing the dignified Zhou’s, Xu Hui’s dexterity and the way she spoke with a smile on her face, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

They were the Military s who had lived here for a few generations and had seen many people who had been exiled. They were most afraid of those so-called noblemen who had unscrupulously exiled themselves and even had an air of arrogance. They would not not talk about living, but would also cause a lot of undesirable things, thus, even though they knew that a new neighbor had arrived, they did not take the initiative to pay a visit first.

Xu Hui smiled as she handed over the comb in her hand: “When we were exiled to this place, there was nothing good for you to have. This was bought by us when we were passing by Python County, it’s quite unique. Take it and play!”

The woman’s smile became even more enthusiastic and she hurriedly called out to Xu Hui and the rest to come in. Before long, Zhou’s and Xu Hui knew who lived here. The man of this woman was also from Military. He had a pair of twin sons and the older one had become an elder in the army. He was an old family that had lived here for generations.

Xu Jingan and the others did not want to become the Military, but these people had lived here for generations, and had already accepted that identity, so they did not think that there was anything bad about the Military, since there was no other way out.

The woman’s surname was Zhang and her husband’s surname was Wei. Their twin son had just turned eleven this year and was currently working in the fields and still hadn’t come back. She told the Zhou’s to call her Sister Zhang, and Xu Hui called her Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang’s two sons did not have any daughters. Now that they saw such a smart and delicate girl like Xu Hui, they liked her a lot. Hearing that she was preparing some hay for a night, they hurriedly and enthusiastically invited Xu Hui’s family to stay at her house for the time being.

Seeing that Xu Hui and her family had a place to stay for the time being, Zhou’s went back to inform Xu Jingyao to bring Xu Jingan and the others over.

Xu Hui placed Xu Jingan down and pinched his own belt. Although the belt given to him by his aunt was made of coarse, unremarkable cloth, the stitching was extremely fine. However, it was only a piece of gold. Even if a belt was full, it would only be a few taels of gold. Xu Hui had used most of it along the way.

Xu Hui could only carefully take out some gold foil from her belt and form a golden ball the size of a fingernail. She took advantage of the fact that Feng’s disease and the rest were not paying attention to him and secretly gave it to the Zhou’s, asking her to help them with the cooking stove. When the time came, he would tell them that her family was made of gold, so that the Feng’s disease and the rest of them would not know that she still had money on them.

Zhou’s was worried about this matter, she had no money, but she could not ignore Xu Jingan’s family. Although the gold ball was not big, it was not a problem to exchange for some silver, as long as it was enough to settle this, she would naturally agree.

After sending off Zhou’s and Xu Jingyao, Xu Hui made Feng’s disease and the rest obediently stay inside the house to take care of Xu Jingan. He went to the kitchen and helped Aunt Zhang boil a hot water. It was a good thing that Xu Hui’s maternal grandmother lived in the countryside. Since she was young, she often went to stay during the holidays. She had also cooked in this kind of pot before, so she helped to light a fire.

Aunt Zhang curiously asked about Xu Hui’s family background. Xu Hui sighed, “Our family is a branch of the Xu family in the Jiangnan Prefecture, and because we were affected by their direct disciples, our entire family has been exiled into the army. My father is a scholar, and was originally the chief of the Cloud Platform.

Hearing Xu Hui say that her father was a teacher, Aunt Zhang suddenly had an idea. Although her family was a Military, according to the rules, every family of Military could have one student who wanted to study and test their names. One of her two sons was planning to take over the Military, and the other was going to study and see if there was any other way out. Naturally, she didn’t dare to think about her exam name, but to be able to read a few words and go to a county town to find a simple job was good as well!

However, only a single teacher from the Wei Jia Village had opened the private school. Every year, there was a cost of 6 taels of silver for the light beam repair, coupled with the cost of pens, ink, and paper.

If he could get his son to follow this gentleman and read and write, saving himself the trouble of going back and forth, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone!

Xu Hui was sensitive enough to notice the change in Aunt Zhang’s expression. She pretended to be talking about how many Elementary Scholars her father had taught, and Aunt Zhang was pleasantly surprised.

Just as Xu Hui was speaking, she said, “My little brother is five years old this year and has just learned the [Thousand Character Classic]. He was supposed to learn four books, but who would have thought —”

Coincidentally, Xu Rui had come in, so Xu Hui made him memorize a part of it. He did not know how many times he had memorized such enlightening things, so Xu Rui naturally opened his mouth and asked for it.

Aunt Zhang was very envious when she heard this. “This young child can carry this?” She did not doubt Xu Hui’s words.

“My father is very busy and I have never taught the Ruigol in detail, I just randomly memorized a few things!” Xu Hui did not boast about Xu Rui.

Aunt Zhang laughed: My child is already eleven years old, and doesn’t even recognize a single word. Qiao Jieer doesn’t need to worry, although our Military’s name doesn’t sound good, if officials give land to their families, their families won’t need to pay taxes, it would be better than being a farmer without land. I think you are also capable, when the time comes, I will ask my man to teach you how to clean up.

Xu Hui hurriedly thanked her and inquired Aunt Zhang about the matter she was most concerned about, which was the matter of Old Father Wei, who was said to be able to see a doctor in the Wei Jia Village.

Aunt Zhang could not help but laugh when she heard Xu Hui asking about Father Wei, “You’re asking a great question. My man and Father Wei are from the same family, so according to seniority, we should address him as Uncle Wei!”

Xu Hui was overjoyed as she asked, “Then can I trouble you to help us find Old Master Wei? My father’s body is so tough!”

“What’s so troublesome about that? My son will probably come back from the fields soon, so I’ll have him borrow the oxcart to bring my uncle here. Tell me, how did a good teacher like your father suffer so much? Really —”

Xu Hui sighed and asked about the daily necessities. Aunt Zhang frowned and said, “There was someone living in your two rooms, but they moved to other places later on. When they left, they didn’t leave anything behind. They are so stingy.” “It’s cold in the winter here, so you all have to prepare this kang, stove, stove, and quilts. Oh right, if you all don’t mind, I still have some old things to use. Do you see if they can be used?”

“Thank you, Aunt Zhang!” Xu Hui did not hold back. Under such circumstances, what else could they be polite about? They only hoped that Old Man Wei was skilled in medicine and could cure Xu Jingan’s illness as soon as possible.
