After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 144 Oral Engagement
Xie Wenci is not stupid, he has long doubted why his parents are so persistent in letting him marry Nier.

But he is filial, even though he doubted it, he never opened his mouth to question it. After all, he has no intention of clinging to the powerful, he is nothing more than a Yue family with few helpers.

If I can step into the court in the future, I believe that relying on myself, I can rise step by step.

Xie Wenci calmed down, followed, raised his hand to support Xie's mother, and led her into the small courtyard behind.

Mother Xie looked around, her eyes finally showed some satisfaction.

"The yard is not bad. When your father and Nier come over in a few days, they will have a place to live."

Xie Wenci rarely frowned, "Mother, didn't you come here just to have a look?"

Xie's mother glanced back at him, "You said you wanted to get married after being named on the gold list, and mother agreed.

But now that Nier is eighteen, I really don't feel relieved that you are out here alone.

In short, either we come to live here, or you resign from your post as Mr. Village School and return to Shangyang Village to marry Nier as soon as possible. "

She has seen a lot of dirty things this dragon and phoenix woman can do, her son is already a juror, if someone with a heart succeeds, it will ruin Nier's life.

Xie Wenci once again felt Xie's mother's eccentricity, pursed her thin lips lightly, and finally agreed.

"Then I'll go say hello to the village chief in the afternoon."

Xie's mother was not vetoing, "Well, mother will also go there at that time."

Xie Wenci lowered his head and remained silent.

Some children in the village saw a carriage going to the village school. After a while, the news of Mr. Xie's return to the village school spread throughout the village.

The village chief hurriedly asked Hui Niang to cook more rice, and then went to the door in person, intending to invite Xie Wen to resign for lunch.

"Is anyone there?"

The village chief walked into the village school, bypassed the school in front, and walked to the small courtyard behind.

Xie's mother was cleaning up the house, when she heard some movement, Xie Wenci went out in one step, with a cane, but a sharp glint in her muddy eyes.

"Who?"

"you are?"

The village chief looked at the old lady in front of him and was slightly startled.

Mother Xie raised her eyelids and was about to speak when Xie Wenci pushed open the door to welcome them out and introduced them to each other.

After hearing this, the village chief cupped his hands and expressed his apology: "It turns out that Mrs. Xie has come, and I have lost my way in welcoming you. Please forgive me."

When Xie's mother was young, she also worked as the mistress's personal servant girl in a wealthy family. She was favored by the master and was able to read and know a lot.

Afterwards, she was released from slavery and allowed her to return to her hometown to get married. The days of hard work after marriage did not wear away her old edges and corners, but after years of precipitation, she became more majestic and undeniable.

Even if she saw the village chief, she also looked calm and nodded slightly.

It's just a petty official with no rank. As the mother of Juren, she doesn't need to condescend.

The village chief didn't mind either.

Although Mrs. Xie is a good woman, who made her have a good son.

Not to mention that Xie Wenci himself is a Juren, and secondly, he is also the master invited by Fang Shi.

Even though Fang Shi has been transferred from Haiyan County, but he was reinstated as an official, and his rank can only go up or down.

And even though he has the position of village head, he is just a low-rank official, so he can't afford to offend him.

"Master Xie, Mrs. Xie, you have just come back, and you don't even have time to make lunch.

Before I came here, I ordered my wife to prepare the food. If you don't mind, you can eat at my place. "

If it was before, Xie Wenci agreed directly, but now that Xie's mother came over, he subconsciously looked at Xie's mother.

Mother Xie glanced across the empty yard, nodded slightly, the expression on her face finally softened.

"That's annoying."

"You're welcome. Mr. Xie is willing to come to Luoshan Village to serve as the village teacher and teach the children in the village. I am grateful. This is just a meal, and it should be."

The village head responded with a smile, and raised his hand slightly, "Mrs. Xie, this way please."

Mother Xie nodded slightly, and followed the village chief to his yard.

The village head and Xie's mother were walking and chatting. After a short chat, Xie's mother took the initiative to bring up Xie's father and Ni'er.

"Mr. Chen, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh?"

The village chief looked puzzled, and immediately said: "Madam Xie, please tell me."

Mother Xie coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and narrated the draft she had typed in her belly: "My Wen Ci is twenty-one this year.

And as early as when he was young, his father and I decided to give him a verbal marriage contract with the girl in the village.

But he devoted himself to the scientific examination, and he stated that he would get married after being awarded the title on the gold list. As parents, we should not delay our children's future.

It's just that the girl is an orphan in the village, without father or mother, and she has kept the marriage contract for more than ten years, and she is over eighteen this year.

His father and I looked at it, and couldn't bear it, so we thought about taking our daughter and moving our family here for a short time.

For one thing, it's convenient to keep an eye on it, lest he disappoint the girl's wishes.

Secondly, it would be good for him to get along with that girl day and night, to bond with him, and to be named on the gold list next year, which would be a double happiness. "

The village head paused, and looked back at Xie Wenci, but saw that he bowed his head and said nothing, and suddenly understood.

"It's easy to say, the courtyard behind the village school was originally prepared for the master.

There are two masters in the village school, and the other master is from the village, so naturally there is no need for a hospital.

This house is vacant and it is vacant, if you are willing to come and live directly. "

Mother Xie's expression softened a bit.

After lunch, the village head sent Xie's mother and Xie Wen back to the village school. Xie's mother had the habit of taking a nap, so she went back to her room to rest.

Xie Wenci and the village chief stood at the gate of the village school, apologetic.

"I made the village head laugh today."

The village chief smiled and shook his head slightly, but said nothing.

No matter what, it is Xie Wenci's housework, he is an outsider, so he can't say much.

It's just that it's really strange, this son is already Juren, and the parents should be thinking about him to go further.

But what Xie's mother said inside and outside the meaning is to want Xie Wenci to settle down, get married and have children.

"The village school starts tomorrow, let's go back early and have a rest."

The village chief restrained his thoughts, waved Xie Wenci and told him to go back inside.

The village head went to the village, and first asked each household whether their children would continue to go to the village school, and then asked those villagers who continued to send their children to the village school to take rags and wooden buckets, carry water to the village school, and clean up the village school.

As for the original agreement to give the account book to Su Mo at the end of the year, who would have thought that there would be so many things at the end of the year, and there would be no time to send the account book over.

Later, I had time to talk to Su Mo about this matter, but found that Su Mo couldn't find the time. After discussing it, the two decided to reconcile the account books once every two semesters.

The next day, Xie's mother refused Xie Wenci's company according to what the village head had said, and went to the county town to buy by herself in a bullock cart.

The people on the bullock cart saw her unfamiliar face, but she was dressed very elegantly, and they were a little curious for a while, and their eyes fell on Xie Mu back and forth.

But Xie Wenci was worried after all, so he went to the village head's house and talked with the village head. He wanted to ask for leave, so he went to follow.

But Hui Niang who was at the side heard the conversation between the two and said:

"Since Mrs. Xie refuses, I'm afraid that you will displease her if you go there. In this way, I will go there with a basket and just go back to buy some salt, sauce, and vinegar."

Xie Wenci thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he cupped his hands at Hui Niang and said, "Then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble..."

Hui Niang smiled, went to the kitchen to pick up the basket, then rushed to the entrance of the village, and got into the ox cart before Chen Yuanhai left.

"Mrs. Xie, are you also going to the county to buy?"
