Chapter 173

The two entered the house, and as soon as they saw the old lady, her great-grandson daughter-in-law was about to get off the kang, but the old lady waved her hand to stop her.

"Just after confinement, your body hasn't recovered yet, what are you paying attention to those poor etiquettes, you eat your meals on the kang, and your aunt Xi'er comes to see you and the child."

"Hello, Aunt Xi'er."

"Well, well, you eat, eat, let's talk."

"Yes!"

The old lady took Xi'er's hand, came to the edge of the kang, bent over and looked at the child.

"We were all like this when we were young. She was so small and tender that I didn't dare to hug her."

"I dare not hug her, for fear of hurting her, she is too small and tender."

While talking, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom, "My aunt has nothing to give her child, so she carved a Jade Buddha for her, and I hope the Buddha will bless her with a safe and smooth life."

Mrs. Gong saw the value of the jade at a glance, "This jade is really precious."

"It's just a piece of jade. The old lady doesn't need to care about it. When Sister Qiao gave birth to her first baby, I also prepared it for her child. I carved it myself."

"Is she going to give birth soon?"

"It was born yesterday, boy."

"Hey, then I have to find some time to take a look."

"I also carved a piece of Guanyin Bodhisattva for her baby. When you go, call me from the door of my house."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me."

After a while, all the women of the Gong family gathered here. When they saw the jade that Xi'er gave the child, they all touched it with their hands, and they all praised the quality of the jade.

Xi'er and Gong's family were talking in the room, and the child woke up twice. After feeding, the women in the room took turns hugging him for a while before putting him on the kang.

The Gong family does not discriminate between men and women, and likes both men and women, so whoever marries into the Gong family as a daughter-in-law must be the same.

Gong Fanqun's wife quietly sat next to Xi'er, she reached out and pulled her cuff, and said in a low voice:

"Girl"

"Huh? Auntie, tell me, I'll listen"

"Is there a young offspring among your relatives?"

"Well, it's Dong Zhen, what's wrong with him?"

"He has a crush on the girl next to me named Du Juan, but my girl doesn't like him, and I don't like that child either, so, look?"

Xi'er knew that if it was someone else, Mrs. Gong would directly reject it, and it was because of her face that she negotiated and talked like this.

"Their family is really big-hearted. They have just saved their lives. It's nothing. One Xiao misses your girl, and the other Xiao misses my Luo family's property."

"Listen to what you mean, what are they?"

"I was in their house last night and found the jewelry I gave to my mother"

"Did you report to the officer?"

"My mother was soft-hearted and expelled them from the house. She didn't want the money and jewelry that I gave them these days, so I just gave them the settling expenses."

"Your mother is really soft."

"Forget it, this is her only relative, so it's fine if you don't have any contact."

"Then I know what to do."

"You don't have to think so much, no matter who it is, you can't force anyone."

Madam Gong smiled and nodded, "You are such an open-minded girl."

Xi'er's eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything. At noon, Gong's family gathered in the front hall, and there were several charcoal basins inside, which were so warm that they didn't feel cold at all.

Everyone was informal, men and women worked together, drinking and eating food, and it was lively for a while.

After dinner, Xi'er said goodbye and went home, and she had people shout auspiciousness and wishfulness into her room.

"How is the old lady?"

"I didn't talk much all day, but I ate my meals on time and took my medicine on time, but I'm not in a good mood."

"Let me ask you, has that Dong Zhen of the Dong family ever molested you or verbally molested you?"

The two blushed and shook their heads, "No, he seldom comes out and walks around, except in the guest courtyard or in the old lady's room, and he doesn't like to talk. Look, I seem to have looked for her once."

"Well, if the little bastard dares to attack my people, I can't kill him."

"Miss, I feel that the man is very thoughtful, and I feel a little scared when I look at it."

"You follow the old lady to keep an eye out. If my mother goes out in the future, if the Dong family gets close to her again, report to me when she comes back. If there is any emergency, come back and report to me immediately."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go."

After sending them away, Xi'er entered the space. The cultivation of Shengjisan's elixir has come to an end, and she wants to quickly prepare this elixir.

Ten days passed in a flash, except for a visit to Xiao's house with Mrs. Gong, she was always in the space.

In the twelfth lunar month, people were shivering with cold, but the workshops of the Luo family were in full swing, as was the [-]-acre vegetable garden at the back. The workers were working in it, not cold at all, but sweating profusely.

From the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the vegetable garden began to produce vegetables. The vendors were approving vegetables at Luo’s house against the howling north wind. Everyone could drink a bowl of hot mutton soup, which was really touching.

The workers on the farm were not offended either, and the warm shed was as warm as spring. After arranging his daily affairs, Lao Ma hid in the house next to the gate and drank a few glasses of spirits with Zhu Zhouzheng.

The Dong family only lived in Kejiao for one night, and rented a small courtyard in the town the next day, and paid a year's rent.

I also bought firewood, rice, oil, salt and charcoal, and my own life is not like living in Luo's house. Let alone bird's nest, I am reluctant to buy rice and white noodles.

Live it!

The day when Xi'er left the customs was on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Mrs. Luo had been very quiet. According to Ji Xiangruyi, the old lady had basically never been out of the house, and she just strolled in the courtyard when she had nothing to do. Mrs. Gong came over in the middle , had a long chat with Mrs. Luo, and then she came out to walk around the yard, or she would have been lying on the kang.

Xi'er hadn't seen Mrs. Luo for more than ten days. She raised her leg and fell down again. Finally, she got up and went to Mrs. Luo's place.

At this time, the old lady was drinking tea in the room, and that tea was specially made by Xi'er for her in the language of Buddhism, because she would be able to achieve great enlightenment after drinking this tea.

As soon as she opened the door curtain and entered the room, Mrs. Luo immediately lowered her head when she saw her, a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, a little guilty, in short, very complicated emotions.

"Mom, I'm researching something recently, so I didn't come to see you, how are you?"

Granny Luo burst into tears, "Son, I'm sorry."

"Eat a pit to gain wisdom. It is good to give sincerity to others, but you must have reservations in everything. You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others."

"Mother knows."

Xi'er was about to open her mouth to say something, when a woman said outside, "Miss, Manager Yaxingliang is looking for you."

"Ask him to come here."

"Yes!"

Manager Liang came after a while, he came in and saw that the old lady and Xi'er were there, so he said vaguely.

"Miss Xi'er, the thing you dragged me to do is settled."

"Guard Liang, please sit down. You can continue to talk, just for my mother to listen."

"You asked me to inquire about the Dong family. My people found out that his house was not covered by snow,"

Mrs. Luo was excited again when she heard it, "No couch? They lied to me!"

Xi'er glanced at her, "Mother, don't get excited, such a big thing happened, do you still care about this lie?"

Guanshi Liang went on to say, "That family was driven out of Dongjia Village by the villagers, and they will not be able to go back in the future."

"Why?" Mrs. Luo asked nervously.

"The old man of the Dong family got married with a widow. The widow is the village chief's sister-in-law, and Dong Zhen played against the village chief's daughter and almost let him succeed. The son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter of the old man are not stealing outside. It’s just cheating, this matter just happened to come together, Fan was outraged by the villagers, and was driven out of the village by the villagers.”

"Where is Dongjia Village?"

"Five hundred miles to the north of Huaishu Town, the village road on the lower right will go straight for three miles."

"Lao Liang is in charge."

"You're welcome, Miss Xi'er, do you have any orders?"

"Gone."

"Then I bid farewell."
