Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 174 True and hypocritical people

Chapter 174 True and hypocritical people

"Of course, let the county magistrate make the decision, and we as husband and wife are not dissatisfied." Xiao Chenyu stood up, bowed to the county magistrate, and blocked the sharp arrow that the magistrate was aiming at Qin Xiang.

Huang and Tao Niang in the middle did not dare to speak out. They also saw that their situation seemed to be very bad.

Just at this moment, the child cried at the top of his lungs again, and the demonic sound echoed around the beams, threatening to tear down the roof.

Everyone was a little annoyed by the noise and couldn't help but look at the magistrate, hoping that he would make a decision quickly to end this torture.

The county magistrate was even more disturbed by the noise, and he scolded the two women for being stupid. Why did they bring the children to the court? The children's crying had disturbed his dignity several times, and it made him unable to think seriously. Judgment.

Therefore, he hurriedly warned Huang not to make false accusations in the future, and told Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang to handle their household affairs with a straight face and not to alert the county government all the time because of these trivial matters.

These words really made Qin Xiang very angry, but she also knew that she couldn't argue with the county magistrate at this time.

But it seems that they were treated lightly both times, and they were released as if they were child's play, without any punishment. However, if someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future, Xiao Chenyu's character is not good, and his reputation for improper behavior cannot be escaped. .

It doesn't matter if you don't become an official, but once you enter the officialdom, sometimes this kind of ambiguous judgment is very critical.

Qin Xiang left the county office with a cold face. Xiao Chenyu knew that she was unhappy and wanted to talk to her, but there were too many people watching outside, so he had to get on the carriage first.

Uncle Qi ordered people to block a road so that Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang could pass.

Seeing this scene, Tao Niang hurriedly pulled Huang's shoulders and slumped back, and urged in a low voice: "Sister, hurry up and take advantage of the crowd to hold Qin Xiang and his wife back. How can we make them give us something?" That’s all.”

Huang was a little embarrassed, with so many people watching.

But Tao Niang pushed her again and said anxiously: "Sister, our family has no money at all. If we don't get some money this time, how will we live in the future? Don't worry, we two women still have children. , everyone will definitely help us and sympathize with us."

Huang, who was encouraged, took a few steps forward, but couldn't get any closer. The servants of Qin Xian's family stopped them and yelled at them: "Why is it not over yet? What do you want to do?"

"I, I just want to say a few words to my niece, nothing else!" Mrs. Huang pointed at Qin Xiang who was about to get on the carriage, but her confidence was a little lacking.

The servants of Qin Xian's family glared and said disdainfully: "Don't shout so affectionately. If you really treat our wife as your niece, why do you bother to sue her and the second master again and again? Bah, I've never seen you before. Damn, I’ve never seen you so shameless.”

Mr. Huang has never been smart, and he is not very courageous. He feels a little ashamed when he is scolded, and since he can't get close, he plans to give up.

When Tao Niang saw it, she secretly cursed Mr. Huang for being a treacherous guy. She usually scolded herself very well, but now she was frightened by a servant. It was really useless. When she went back, she must tell Su Laoer properly. Complain.

But when he thought of the man paralyzed at home, he frowned again.

On the night when the robbers came in, Su Laoer ran to Huang's bed to sleep because he was menstruating.

But part of Su Laoer's silver was placed in Tao Niang's house, but he held the key himself, and the other part was hidden in a mouse hole. These Tao Niang knew it clearly.

When the robber came in, the first thing he went to was Su Lao Er's room. Since Tao Niang got up in the middle of the night to nurse the baby while he was still awake, the first thing she did was to pry open the box where Su Lao Er kept his silver and take out the contents. Stuffed into the poop-stained pants that my daughter changed into.

Those people searched Su Laoer's room and found only twenty taels of silver and some gold and silver bracelets hidden by Huang. Two people came to Tao Niang's room and took several pieces of jewelry from Tao Niang's dressing box. Take it away. As soon as the robbers left, Mr. Huang burst into tears and howled. Tao Niang went over and saw Su Laoer fell to the ground, wailing repeatedly, but she did not let Mr. Huang touch him.

Tao Niang put her daughter back on the bed and hurriedly went over to ask Su Lao Er, only to hear Su Lao Er say that she couldn't move her waist.

Tao Niang felt disgusted when she saw that Huang only cried, so she yelled at her to stop crying and that the most important thing was to find the doctor quickly.

Later, while Mrs. Huang was taking care of Su Laoer and the only old servant in the family went to call the doctor, Tao Niang went to take away all the money from the mouse hole.

After returning home, he hid all the money and watched his daughter cry: "We don't know how to live in the future!"

Seeing that Qin Xiang had entered the carriage, Tao Niang quickly recovered her thoughts, pulled Huang forward a few steps, got closer to the carriage, and cried in a voice that everyone could hear: "Sister, the child is still so young. , how will we live in the future?"

This cry was very effective, everyone calmed down, and the little white flower that Tao Niang had practiced for so many years came into use.

Tears fell to the ground one by one, and she could still look at Qin Xiang's carriage with round eyes and misery, looking forward to, praying, and helpless, such a pitiful woman.

The carriage that was just about to start also stopped, and Tao Niang hurriedly begged harder: "Qin Xiang, for the sake of your little cousin, please be merciful and help us. We don't want gold or silver, so I beg you." Just give us some food so that we can get through this winter this year. When spring comes next year, I will find something to do and promise not to bother you again, okay?"

As he spoke, he lifted the crying baby up so that the bystanders could see it more clearly.

Sure enough, everyone's emotions defeated their reason, and they all felt that Tao Niang's demands were not excessive. Didn't Xiao Chenyu and his wife claim to be good people? Now it's up to them whether they are true, kind or hypocritical?

Qin Xiang was sitting in the carriage, listening to Tao Niang's words and the people around her. She suddenly understood what the county magistrate meant, and she had to hold back the couple when they were roasted on the fire.

"She said this. If we ignore it, we will really become heartless people. I'll go down."

After Xiao Chenyu finished speaking, he was about to go out, but Qin Xiang said: "Go and ride a horse, let Mrs. Huang get in the car, and Tao Niang will follow!"

After saying that, Qin Li lifted the car curtain to look at Mr. Huang, and suddenly said to Mr. Huang with a bright smile: "Second aunt, please get on the carriage with me. I have something very important to tell you."

Huang was invited onto the carriage in a daze, and the child was held in Huang's arms.

The carriage started to move forward, and Taohong could only walk along with it, unable to move forward or retreat among a group of servants.

In the carriage, Qin Xiang sat on both sides of Qingcan and Qinggu, always wary of Huang on the opposite side.

Huang was alone, so she felt a little panicked. In order to cover up her panic, she looked very tough.

"What exactly did you come to me for?"

"Auntie, don't be anxious." Qin Xian smiled and said, "Auntie came here just for the money. Of course I don't have any, so I had to ask my aunt to go home with me to get it."
