Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 113 Dowry or Dowry?

Yin Tao bit her lower lip, she didn't know how to comfort this sad and desperate person.

"I bought two thin coffins to bring my grandfather and father back, but my mother fell ill. The eldest brother and aunt blamed my mother for selling all the family property, and now I have lost everything. I beat him with my hands. He is a scholar. , I had no strength to fight back. Later, my mother came out and scolded me!"

"That night, I wanted to stay in my mother's room to take care of her, but my mother insisted on letting me go to bed. I left without thinking too much. Unexpectedly, I found out that my mother committed suicide the next day!"

Yin Tao walked over and squatted in front of him, and held his hand tightly: "So, you have been blaming yourself all the time. Do you think that if you stayed that night, your mother would be fine?"

Ye Xiuwen nodded inaudibly: "If I hadn't fought with Big Brother, or if I had been more vigilant at night, my mother would have been fine!"

Yin Tao sighed, the matter came too urgently, a group of pampered people, I'm afraid there is nothing left to do but panic!
Thinking carefully about the accident in my own family, the family members worked together. If someone pulled my hind legs or made sarcastic remarks at that time, I am afraid that I would be furious and do it!
"Every night, as soon as I close my eyes, I see my mother, and I can't forget it at all!"

After Ye Xiuwen finished speaking, he fell into deep pain; Yin Tao could only silently accompany him by his side.

After a long time, Ye Xiuwen let out a heavy breath, as if he had calmed down his sadness, and his voice also calmed down.

"My grandfather named me Xiuwen, but since I was a child, I didn't like reading. I only loved to wield knives and guns. Both my grandfather and father disliked me very much. They would get angry when they saw me. Fortunately, my eldest brother is so talented that I won't embarrass them too much!"

"When I was young, I liked going to Prince Kang's Mansion very much. The prince even found a master to teach me martial arts."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Ye Xiuwen's mouth, talking about the past was still vivid in his mind, as if it happened yesterday.

"I used to fight with people at every turn, and if I got into trouble, I would go to Kang Wang's mansion and hide for a few days, and then I'd be fine!"

"But later when something happened, I realized that I had nowhere to hide, and those self-righteous fists and legs were useless!" Ye Xiuwen stared straight ahead.

Yin Tao understood that he was originally a protected young master, but he was forced to grow up overnight!
And the price of this growth is extremely painful!
"Why have you never seen your elder brother?" Yin Tao asked softly, with a rare gentleness!
"After my mother passed away, I insisted on escorting the coffins of my grandfather, father, and mother back to the ancestral grave for burial. But my hometown is far away, and my eldest brother is unwilling to travel long distances. In addition, there is no extra money in the house."

"I have already pawned my valuables, so I sold the jade pendant on my elder brother's body, barely scraped together enough money, and hired a carriage to drive back to my hometown."

Yin Tao opened her eyes wide and asked suddenly: "He doesn't want to go back, how could he be willing to give it to you? Could it be that you robbed him?"

"Well, he doesn't want to take it out. In fact, I know that he must have a private room with his aunt, but it's impossible for me to search the room of my aunt."

"Then your eldest brother may be even more dissatisfied. In fact, the family should work together when encountering major issues, and he is still the eldest brother. He should have come forward to deal with these matters."

Yin Tao was a little aggrieved by Ye Xiuwen, but Ye Xiuwen smiled instead.

When I said what I was holding back in my heart, I suddenly felt a lot easier!
"Even if he is unwilling in every possible way, he must go back with him, otherwise, he will be charged with unfilial piety, and he will never have a bright future."

Seeing Ye Xiuwen's expression of resentment suddenly appear on Ye Xiuwen's face, Yin Tao knew that something was wrong again.

Ye Xiuwen nodded, and shook hands with Yin Tao a little harder.

"When we returned to the clan after all the hard work, we were stopped, saying that my grandfather and father had been convicted, and they were afraid that the clan would be hurt, and that my mother's death would cause trouble for everyone. Finally, Just open the ancestral hall and get rid of our family."

"These little people have been protected by their grandfather for so many years. Now something happened, but they are anxious to separate the relationship."

"Brother and I have no choice but to find an unowned mountain and bury grandfather and the others. I kneel in front of the grave and swear that in the future, they will be buried with glory and moved into the ancestral grave!"

"My eldest brother laughed at me for being overconfident, and I retorted. Unexpectedly, I encountered robbers before I came out of the mountain. I resisted desperately and finally repelled the robbers. But my eldest brother's face was cut, and the only family left Not a single servant is left."

"Later, my eldest brother stayed in a nearby village and refused to return to Beijing with me."

Ye Xiuwen was very depressed. He and his eldest brother were not very close, but they were the only relatives after all!

Yin Tao still listened silently, she didn't want to criticize his elder brother, but she felt sorry for Ye Xiuwen even more, and she probably carried a layer of guilt for her elder brother in her heart!
"Later, I found those bandits and took them all in the dark." Ye Xiuwen's eyes flashed with a cold and bloodthirsty light.

Yin Tao hadn't seen this look in a long time!

"I was injured, and I walked on the mountain for several days, and finally fell down. At that time, I just felt hopeless."

Ye Xiuwen suddenly clenched Yin Tao's hands: "I met you later!"

"Meet me?"

An idea flashed in Yin Tao's mind: "Is that the time you saved you in Fudong County?"

"Ok!"

Oh, so it is!

"Ye Xiuwen, in the past, it's like dying yesterday; in the future, it's like being born today; from now on, let's just live a good life."

Ye Xiuwen's eyes moved from their hands to Yin Tao's face, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, which made Yin Tao shy!

Ye Xiuwen stood up, took Yin Tao's hand and entered his room.

"I have something to give you, and one more thing to tell you."

Yin Tao looked at the two holding hands, her heart beat faster, what's going on?
But he didn't pay attention to Ye Xiuwen's words.

Ye Xiuwen took out a wooden box, opened it, and picked up a jade pendant.He once knocked on Mrs. Zhong's courtyard door with this jade pendant.

"This was rewarded by the prince when I was born. I pawned all my valuables, but I dare not pawn this. Keep it well, and use it to ask the prince."

Yin Tao took the jade pendant in a daze, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her still pounding heart: "Why did you give me this for no reason?"

Ye Xiuwen ignored her, took out another house deed, and said: "This is from the princess, you have to keep it, go and see how to arrange it yourself? There are still some bank notes in the box, which were sold for our robbery." what's left!"

Seeing that Yin Tao lowered his head, as if he was seriously looking at the house deed, he said again: "I got the deed from your fellow countryman Zhao San, and I asked him to go back to pick up your family, and they will probably come up in spring."

Yin Tao was really angry, opened Ye Xiuwen's hand, and looked at him expressionlessly: "What are you going to do? Give me these things, what do you mean by saying these things? Are you going to drive me away? Don't bother, say Just one word is enough, I will turn around and leave, and I will never rely on you!"

Ye Xiuwen put the deed back into the box, held Yin Tao's hand, bent slightly, and looked into Yin Tao's eyes.

He said very solemnly: "My lord asked me to go to the border to practice for a few years. I was supposed to start after the new year. I thought I would wait for you to celebrate the New Year happily. Let's go. Now, someone is waiting for me outside the door!"

"What? What do you mean? Are you going to be a soldier?" Yin Tao was completely dumbfounded, and only then did she understand why Ye Xiuwen was so strange today.

Yin Tao's eye circles suddenly turned red, she broke free from Ye Xiuwen's hand, pointed to the wooden box and said, "Then what does this mean? Give me everything, don't you plan to come back?"

Ye Xiuwen stretched out his arms, hugged Yin Tao tightly, and said softly: "Yin Tao, wait for me for five years. If I come back, these are betrothal gifts. If I don't come back, it will be my dowry for you!"
