Chapter 367 The Heart of a Woman (Seeking Monthly Pass Subscription)

When Xu came out of the house, he saw Zhang Zhongxiao, Zhang Shi's five-year-old son, squatting in a corner.

Next to him was a child who was a little more immature than him. He took out a steamed pancake from the kitchen and ran out, handing it to Zhang Zhongxiao.

This is the son of Xu and her husband who died before. He is one year younger than Zhang Zhongjiao and has changed his name to Zhang Shuyou.

Seeing Xu coming out, both of them were startled.

Zhang Zhongxiao was so frightened that the steamed cake in his hand fell to the ground, and his face showed a timid look.

The small figure shrank even tighter into the corner.

Xu suddenly showed disgust, and said viciously: "Hide here again and cry! You want people to see and call me mean?"

Uncle Zhang moved over, tugged at Xu Shi, and whispered: "Mother, mother, little brother hasn't eaten today, can you let him eat?"

Xu frowned, avoided her own son, gave Zhang Zhongxiao a hard look, and cursed silently.

Zhang Zhongjiao knew from the shape of his lips that he was cursing the word "little bitch".

Xu said with distaste: "Did I not give you food? I told you to eat well, but you refused to eat. If you insist on stealing pancakes from home, you want people to think that I am torturing you, right?"

While talking, she walked into the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with a bowl on a wooden tray.

It was a black iron bowl.

It contained some porridge.

Coming to Zhang Zhongxiao: "Let's eat."

Zhang Zhongxiao was cowering, with a pair of small hands behind his back, and his small face was full of fear.

Xu's expression was stern and said: "Take it up, eat well!"

"If you overturn the rice again and waste food, don't blame me for starving you for three days!"

Zhang Shuyou opened a pair of innocent big eyes, and said childishly from the side:
"Little brother, eat quickly. Don't overturn the bowl this time, or mother will punish you again. Daddy said it's not good to waste food."

Zhang Zhongxiao looked at Xu's fierce expression, his small body trembled suddenly, and slowly stretched out his little hand...

"Wow!"

Picking up the small iron bowl, Zhang Zhongxiao suddenly burst into tears.

A pair of small hands, even the whole body was trembling.

Zhang Shuyou bit his finger, his big eyes were full of doubts.

I don't know why my little brother is crying.

"Zhongxiao, why are you crying again?"

Zhang Shi in the room heard the crying and asked loudly.

Mrs. Xu walked into the house calmly and said: "It's not me who is in charge, this child is too picky eater, it's not like you don't know the situation at home, a big family, two meals a day, he is a child, and he doesn't care about food." Work, it’s not easy to have such porridge to eat.”

"Zhongxiao, don't be picky eaters!"

There was a weak and stern voice in the room, and it fell silent.

Mrs. Xu smiled coldly, turned back to the kitchen, went to make medicine for Zhang Shi, and dragged Uncle Zhang away.

Seeing Xu's disappearance, Zhang Zhongxiao cried and put the iron bowl he was holding tightly on the ground.

The iron bowl looked like something terrible, but he didn't dare to knock over the porridge inside.

Then while sobbing, he blew into his trembling little hands.

This pair of small hands turned red at this moment.

There are many peeled off skins on it.

It looked like an old wound that had been blistered and broken after being scalded.

He squatted in the corner for a while before carefully touching the small bowl with his hands.

With a light touch, he retracted his hand as if he had been stung.

After trying several times, I tremblingly picked up the bowl with both hands and gobbled down the bowl of porridge.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Xu didn't take the "second son" seriously at all.

He was holding the box of medicine that Ji Xuan sent in his hand, looking at it.

"This box looks pretty nice, and this small bottle, something from a big family, should be worth some money?"

"I'll take it to the market tomorrow and sell it. Maybe I can get back a few boxes of rouge and some good cloth."

While talking to himself, he took out the small porcelain bottle inside, opened it and smelled it.

He choked on the pungent smell of the medicinal powder inside, showing a look of disgust.

He poured all the powdered medicine into the firewood ash under the stove.

In her opinion, this thing is inedible or drinkable, and no one will take it out as a gift.

As for healing?

She didn't believe it.

the next day.

She waited on Zhang Shi to eat and drink medicine, and sure enough, she took the box and porcelain bottle to the street.

Standing on the street and thinking about it, I found a shop that sold antiques, jade, and all kinds of strange sundries.

Full of apprehension and anticipation, I took this thing to the shop assistant.

The guy didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he saw the thing in her hand, he was slightly taken aback.

Immediately asked her to wait, then ran in, saying that she was going to invite the shopkeeper to hold the eye.

Xu realized that she had guessed correctly, this thing was indeed valuable, and it was not an ordinary value.

Press patiently surprise, wait anxiously.

"Where did you get this box?"

At this moment, a clear voice came from the side.

Xu turned her head to look, her heart skipped a beat.

What a handsome man!

This is a young man in silk clothes.

His face is like a crown jade, extremely handsome.

A jade pendant like a lantern hangs around his waist.

Nobility all over.

Xu was stunned for a while before recovering.

Turning his eyes, he said in a soft voice: "Young master, did you intend to buy it?"

Brother Gongzi said: "How much do you want?"

Xu lowered her head and turned her eyes straight: "Ten... ten hanging coins!"

She wanted to say ten big coins, but as soon as she saw the lantern and jade pendant on Young Master's waist, she got the courage to change it to ten hanging coins.

Brother Young Master smiled, took out an ingot of clear yellow gold, and held it up in front of Xu's eyes: "Tell me where it came from, this is yours."

Xu stared at Jin Zi, his eyes straightened.

"Yo! Young Master, you are so generous!"

"To tell you the truth, my son, this is a treasure passed down from my man's family. If my man hadn't been injured and had no money to buy wound medicine, I wouldn't have sold it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab the gold in his hand.

"Hold on."

Brother Gongzi took it back.

Xu's expression changed: "Master, do you want to go back on your word?"

"My son keeps his word, so he won't break his promise for a mere piece of gold."

Brother Young Master smiled and said, "But...you think I want to buy you a broken box after spending so much money, Young Master?"

Xu gritted his teeth, showing a bit of coquettishness: "What does the young master mean?"

Brother Young Master smiled and groaned: "Beauty, you are ice and snow smart, what do I mean, don't you know?"

Facing Brother Young Master's direct and fiery eyes, Xu's heart was hot, but he struggled a bit.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "My lord, please respect yourself."

"Hahaha, it's just a joke with the little lady, come, take it."

Brother Gongzi handed over the gold, took the box and left.

Holding the gold, Mrs. Xu was both happy and disappointed. She was stunned for a long time before she walked out of the shop.

At this time, the shopkeeper and the guy just came out.

The shopkeeper asked suspiciously, "Where is the woman you mentioned?"

"Huh? It was still there just now..."

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "You read it right?"

The clerk said: "You read that right, we have not been dealing with those yamen for a day or two, and what the girl took must be something made by Su Jingsi."
