Skillful Wife of Military - C42
Xiao Li’s disease glared. “Even if she dies, I will still say it, it is all because of her that despicable woman with rotten lungs, who killed my son and taught my grandson to be unclose to me.”
“He’s already dead, do you remember what I told you last time. Why are you scolding Dazong’s daughter-in-law whenever you want?”
“What’s wrong, I’m just a wet nurse, how can I not say that I’m a young wife?” Was she that expensive? A little girl in exile is also worth covering up like a treasure, not afraid that it will go sour. Stop staring at me like that, I’m her mother, you should listen to me scolding her, what’s wrong, don’t tell me you want me to compensate her? ”
“You, shut that stinky mouth of yours!” The Xiao Pao was furious. He knocked on the brick bed with his pipe and pointed at the Xiao Li’s disease, saying, “I shouldn’t be trying to reason with you, this old lady. If you dare to mess with me in the future, get out of the Xiao family!”
After Xiao Pao finished speaking, he turned and walked out, scaring both and Niu Niu, who was watching outside the door, and the two of them immediately ran towards the west wing.
Xiao Li’s disease choked for a long time, he was so angry that his head started to buzz, he could not feel anything anymore. After a long while, he finally heard Xiao Hu calling her. Xiao Li’s disease threw himself onto Xiao Hu, clapping his hands and howling in tears. She was already this old man’s age, yet that damned old man still scolded her like this in front of his son’s wife and grandson.
Xiao Hu hastily tried to console the Xiao Li’s disease, who smiled slightly with a face full of ridicule. The old granny had said that she had failed to steal a chicken but had failed to suppress the big house and had instead caused trouble for herself. It seemed that he could not rely on her alone in the future.
On this side, Niu Niu and Xiao Huaer returned back to the west wing. Niu Niu and Xiao Huaer continued to explain it to everyone and learned the words from the master.
On the table, Xiao Da Yong and Xiao He who were holding wine cups heard what Niu Niu said, and their expressions became ugly. Xiao He gritted his teeth and said in disbelief, “Why would Mother think that? Big brother and sister-in-law have been so kind to them, and it’s been so many years.
Xu Hui frowned as she heard this. This had something to do with Xiao Dayong’s parents.
Mrs. Zhang sighed. Xiao Dayong’s face darkened with confusion. Xu Hui could not help but ask, “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what’s the matter?”
Xiao He looked at the Zhang Clan Leader, and the Zhang Clan Leader looked at Xiao Da Yong, and started to softly recount the matters regarding Xiao Da Yong’s mother and Xiao Li’s disease.
It wasn’t that Xiao Li’s disease and his wife had set it up for Xiao Hai, it was something that Xiao Hai himself had bought when he was passing by the Python County.
The Yao was the family of a criminal official, even worse than Xu Hui and the rest who had been exiled. He was a sinful slave with the lowest status and had been unintentionally bought by Xiao Hai for 5 taels of silver. With the status and position of the Yao, if Xiao Hai wanted her to be his wife, the Xiao Family’s first wife, Xiao Pao and Xiao Li’s disease would naturally not agree to it.
Naturally, after they got married, the Xiao Li’s disease did not like the sight of the Yao.
If Yao was soft and incompetent, he would have let out this sigh, but Yao was an extremely capable and powerful person. Although she was born a girl in the Shangguan Family, no matter what she did in the fields, she did everything that was beautiful, lived a good life, and was straightforward and generous. She gradually gained popularity in Xiao Jia Village, and the Xiao Family became better and better with the combined efforts of Yao and Xiao Hai.
Xiao Li’s disease was an extremely selfish person. Because he was a foreigner, he was afraid that others would look down on him and bully his own people.
With the comparison of Yao, it made the situation more and more unsightly for the Xiao Li’s disease. Gradually, the families of the village all leaned towards the Yao, and the Xiao Li’s disease became even more dissatisfied. Although the Yao had a kind personality and was very filial to his elders, she did not always give in to weakness. She also did not give in to principles at all, so how could the Xiao Li’s disease take it, thus their relationship became worse and worse as time passed.
After Xiao Hu began to read and read, and took the examination to become a child student, only Xiao Hu remained in the eyes of the Xiao Li’s disease, while the other Xiao Hai, and even the eldest grandson Xiao Da Yong, were not in the eyes of the other Xiao Hai. If the obedient Xiao Hu was the honey in the Xiao Li’s disease’s heart, then the unobedient Xiao Hai who relied on him to support the sect would be the thorn in the Xiao Li’s disease’s heart. The better Xiao Hai treated the Yao, the more unreliable Xiao Li’s disease felt.
With Xiao Hai’s sudden death, the Xiao Pao and the Xiao Li’s disease ignored his pleas, forcing Xiao Dazong, who was not even fifteen years old, to step up to the top of the Military. In the end, even the fetus that had been in his stomach for more than five months was not saved. As a result of the Yao’s severe injuries, he dragged his sickly body away and followed Xiao Hai for less than a year. Now, only Xiao Da Yong and the little girl, who was not even two years old, were left together.
Xiao Dayong was not at home all year round, but Niu Niu was in the Xiao family.
After saying this, Zhang Shi looked very ashamed as she said to Xiao Da Yong: “Da Yong, your second uncle and I don’t know how to judge. We didn’t dare to say anything on your behalf, so we both feel sorry for you!”
The words of the Zhang Family and Xiao He today deeply touched Xiao Dayong. He was with his father, loved to wave blades and spears, and loved to follow his father around the military Camp the most. He wasn’t too concerned about the matters of his family. Even though Xiao Da Yong always knew that his grandma liked his family, he didn’t know that there was such a deep conflict between his family and grandpa’s family. Xiao Da Yong never remembered that his parents would say bad things about grandpa’s family in front of him.
After getting married, no matter if it was the incident with Niuniu, or the attitude of his family towards his wife, Xiao Da Yong realized that the situation in his family was different from what he remembered.
However, he did not expect that today, he truly knew that the complicated past that existed between him and his grandfather’s mother, especially since his mother and grandmother, existed between them. It turned out that when he replaced his father in the Military, it was not natural for him to do so, but rather because his grandfather had forced his mother to do so.
If things continued like this, wouldn’t it mean that this grandpa had caused the death of his own mother?
Xiao Dayong’s face turned pale in an instant!
Xu Hui saw that Xiao Da Yong’s expression did not look good and quickly reached out to hold Xiao Da Yong’s hand. Xu Hui’s warm hand was like a lifesaver as she rescued Xiao Da Yong from the brink of collapse. He held Xu Hui’s hand tightly, pursing his lower lip until it was a little white.
Zhang Shi saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said, “Da Yong, you don’t dare to think too much. When your mother was sick, you spent a lot of money treating her. Your mother left because her body couldn’t handle it.”
But no matter what, his mother left so early, and he couldn’t get rid of this relationship with her mother’s decision. He hated her, but at that time, he was too young, and didn’t understand anything, so he thought that it would be better if he could help the mother in the army to clear her heart.
He looked at Xiao He and Zhang Shi, pursed his lips and said: “I’m not too clear about the past. Thank you Second Uncle and Second Aunt, if not, I will always be a fool, I hope Second Uncle won’t be so foolish in the future. Our family, haha, will always take care of himself!” That desolate laughter, made Xiao He and Lady Zhang’s hearts hurt a little.
Xiao Xiuer could not even raise her head, she felt that she did not have the face to sit here. Listening to what her mother said just now, the house and cows were all taken care of by her uncle and her mother when they were still young.
But what about grandpa’s mother? What did she do to her uncle and aunt?
When Xiao Xiuer thought of the past, even though she knew that Niu Niu was hungry, she didn’t dare to take out food for her to eat. However, she didn’t dare to tell Dahuang-ge how Niu Niu lived when he was not around.
Seeing that Xiao Xiuer was crying, Niu Niu immediately asked, “Big Sis, why are you crying?”
Everyone looked at Xiao Xiuer, and Xiao Xiuer wiped away her tears and said, “Niuniu, Big Sis is sorry, I feel bad. You were so hungry when you were young, I didn’t dare to make you food.
Xiao Da Yong’s eyes were red. Xu Hui hurriedly took out a handkerchief and dried Xiao Xiuer’s tears, stroking her back and said: “Silly girl, with the situation at home, it’s already good enough that you can take care of yourself. Niuniu said before, if it wasn’t for you guys taking care of her privately, how could she have grown up like this?”
Niuniu also hurriedly said, “I remember big sister Hua’er secretly gave me a biscuit, and second aunt also gave me cotton clothes to wear!” It was also because of this that Niu Niu was so attached to Xiao Huaer after the relationship between the two families had changed.
Xu Hui smiled and said, “Second Uncle and second aunt, quickly, don’t be like this. Thank you second uncle and second aunt for telling us all about this today. Although we shouldn’t discuss seniors, we must think of a way to live a good life like third uncle and grandpa!”
The crowd looked at each other, and their hearts felt closer than before. The discomfort in Xiao Da Yong’s heart lessened a bit, no matter what, he now had a wife and sister, so as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to live a good life.
However, he would never be like before with this grandpa’s milk.
After talking for half a day, it was getting late. Xiao He, Zhang Shi and the rest were no longer in the mood to rush to their rooms, so Xu Hui suggested that they stay for dinner.
Because Xiao Da Yong and Xiao He were drinking together, Xu Hui fried a plate of peanuts and sliced a plate of cured meat, but did not eat much.
Dinner was personally cooked by Xu Hui. She believed that when she was in a bad mood, she should eat something good to eat. Of course, every foodie would probably think the same way. In short, Xiao Dayong felt quite uncomfortable. Eating something good would make him feel better. With this mentality, Xu Hui did not hesitate to spend a lot of money preparing to cook some porridge and vermicelli.
Powder was a rarity here. After all, sweet potatoes were not even five years old yet, and it was said that there weren’t many in the south yet. These shreds were specially bought by Xu Hui from Wang Daniu’s father in Python County, so they were prepared to be eaten only after the new year, hence she took them out to have a fresh meal today.
Since there were so many people, Xu Hui took a whole dish of pickled vegetables from the pickled vegetables jar and washed them clean. The job of slicing the shredded vegetables was done by the Zhang family, and after cooking for almost twenty years, her cutting skills were much better than Xu Hui’s. Unlike the previous days, when she cooked in Xu Hui’s kitchen, Mrs Zhang felt that it was extraordinarily easy to cook. The pickled vegetables she sliced out were especially thin and even.
Xu Hui took out a piece of streaky pork and let Zhang family cut it into pieces. When Zhang family saw the whole piece of streaky pork that weighed more than one catty, they could not help but ask Xu Hui in shock, “Dazong’s daughter-in-law, did you cut all of it?”
“It’s all cut, let’s have a good meal today!”
“Sigh, alright!”
