The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 37

Xie Yujiao returned to Xiulou, took a hot bath and felt drowsy. Before the women brought her lunch, she had already fallen asleep on the soft couch.

After traveling to ancient times, even if other things are not as good as modern times, the schedule is still quite healthy. Xie Yujiao stayed up for a while because she didn't know the family affairs clearly.Now that everything is on track, she has become a little more relaxed. Sometimes after dinner, when it gets dark, she doesn't bother to light up the lamp and read a book, so she goes to bed early.But the sequelae of this is waking up early in the morning.The sun just came out, and the birds in the bamboo garden behind the garden kept chirping, and Xie Yujiao couldn't sleep anymore.

Originally, she wanted to come back to take a rest today, but she went out and ran for a long time, and now she is exhausted and panicked when she comes back.

Magpie went outside to get a lunch box and came in. Seeing the silence inside, she simply lowered her voice and went upstairs with her skirt, where she saw Xie Yujiao lying sideways on the couch with her sleeves covering her elbows, revealing a section of her fair skin. Jade's arm came.

The magpie carefully took the brocade quilt from the bed, put it on Xie Yujiao's body, and closed the window a little bit, letting her sleep on it for a while.

Ziyan came back excitedly and saw the magpie sitting at the door doing needlework, so she asked, "Is the girl still asleep? I heard that the girl went to Jiangjia Village today and beat that Jiangjia village?"

Magpie didn't know about this at first, but the few words Xie Yujiao said when she asked her to summon Shen Shihu just now sounded scary. Crap.

The two of them were still about to chat, when they heard footsteps on the stairs. Xie Yujiao came down the stairs in a simple and elegant outfit in a moon-white double-breasted beanie. White and creamy.The two hurriedly went up to greet them, and said: "Girl, my wife brought mung bean porridge and duck oil biscuits over. The porridge is still warming in the tea room. I'll bring it over for you to eat?"

Xie Yujiao was really hungry at the moment, no matter what time it was, she nodded and said: "You take it here, I'll eat a little in the hall downstairs, and I'll go to the front yard later, some things haven't been done yet Woolen cloth!"

The two served Xie Yujiao and had eaten. Seeing that the weather was getting a bit bad, the magpie took an umbrella and followed Xie Yujiao to the front yard.Walking to the litter of cats, Xie Yujiao only saw Dawei still painting there!This crooked nut is also interested, yesterday he was not afraid of the heat under the sun, but today it is going to rain, so he has no intention of leaving.

Just as I was thinking wildly, suddenly there was a strong wind, and a few thunderclaps struck down, and the raindrops fell with a clatter.Xie Yujiao was in the veranda right now, so naturally she couldn't get wet, so she told Xie Que, "Go and send him the umbrella. When he finishes drawing the cat earlier, he can start doing serious business."

When the magpie heard the words, he sent the umbrella over with a face full of reluctance.

Xie Yujiao spent the whole afternoon counting the money owed by the Jiang family to the Xie family, and then called the housekeeper Tao over, and asked him to go to the old warehouse to find out the dowry list when the eldest aunt got married. , I have sorted out each item properly, and I have a number in my heart.

Mrs. Xie only had one son and one daughter in her whole life, so although her eldest aunt was born of a concubine, she was a bit more precious than her first daughter.It's just that the eldest aunt's life was not good, the old lady left early, and finally fell into the hands of the old aunt. Mr. Xie was busy with the family business at that time, and had no time to take care of the daughter's marriage, and also had some contacts between the ancestors and the Jiang family. , I felt that it should be a reliable family, and I thought that although my aunt and grandma were short-sighted, they would definitely not harm my own daughter, so I agreed to this marriage.Therefore, in terms of dowry, it is even more generous.

Xie Yujiao looked at the dowry list and reckoned that these fields, hills, and orchards should be brought back. As for the miscellaneous fabrics, cloth, dozens of pieces of furniture, and antique calligraphy and paintings, I don't know if they are still there. , there are two other shops, which should be there, and my aunt doesn't look like a fool, and she can't stand these things.

Xie Yujiao finished tidying up these things, and seeing that it was getting late and the rain outside had stopped, she took the magpie and went to the old aunt's courtyard.

After it rained, water was still seeping on the bluestone slabs, and water was dripping down from the eaves. Xie Yujiao just walked into the yard when she heard the voice of the old aunt and grandma sighing in the room.

"It's a crime! Now it's like this, it's all my fault!" The old aunt was so shrewd before, but now she has recovered a lot after the fall. Seeing her daughter like this, how could she There is no sad.

"If you can't breathe, it's fine if you go." The aunt still looked straight at the top of the bed, feeling sad and regretful in her heart. If she was one step faster, it would be fine if she died in Jiang's house. Now she's back to herself My mother's family, it's not easy to dirty this place.

"You are going to die, what should I do? What if I leave two children behind?"

Xie Yujiao couldn't bear to listen outside, so she stepped in quickly and said bluntly, "Aunt, why are you dying? You should die of that inhuman thing anyway. Don't worry, I'll clean him up for you today." , he must be living rather than dying right now!"

After hearing this, the old aunt and grandma felt a dull pain from the wound on the back of her buttocks. This girl is really too powerful, and it would be bad luck for her to offend her.

After hearing this, the eldest aunt's expression became a little grateful, but she sighed again: "It's hard for you to make this trip for me, the girl's family is precious, and it's always bad to spread the word."

Xie Yujiao didn't care about her reputation, anyway, she couldn't let others bully her, and she didn't allow others to bully the Xie family.

Xie Yujiao walked to the bed of the eldest aunt, put the booklet in her hand on the small table beside her bed, and said, "Auntie, here are the dowry and land property you bought when you married the Jiang family. , shop, all the items are clearly written, and there are also records of the money owed by the Jiang family to our family over the years, and I have collected all the IOUs! Now you just take a look, right? Yes, tomorrow I will ask Liu Fugen to go to the county government office to say hello to the magistrate, and after two days, I will invite someone to Jiang's house, and ask the person surnamed Jiang to release his wife's letter!"

After hearing what Xie Yujiao said, the aunt's dim eyes lit up again.She thought about giving birth to a son and living a good life, and she thought about dying, but she never thought about getting divorced.There are very few people who make peace here, and they are from the countryside, so they have never heard of anyone who wants to make peace.There were also people who quarreled, but in the end the family first reconciled, and the uncles and brothers in the clan united to persuade them, and finally they made up with each other, and hanged themselves.

When the great aunt thought of this, she felt that it would be more peaceful to die now, but thinking that Xie Yujiao was making decisions for herself like this, and she was afraid that she would owe this debt, so she sighed: "Jiaojiao, leave the things alone." , I'll watch it in a while."

Xie Yujiao heard helpless sorrow in these words, and said, "Auntie, this reconciliation is not a big deal, you just die like that beast, and you become a widow! If you If I can't bear to reconcile, I will beat him to death sooner or later. Do you have the heart for me to get involved in a life lawsuit because of you?"

When the aunt heard this, her heart tightened. The old aunt had always said that she was so powerful that she looked like a girl. Today, she saw a group of men standing in the yard of Jiang's house, not only other things, The momentum is indeed very large, if this really kills people, the common people outside will all watch with open eyes!
The great aunt was so frightened by Xie Yujiao, but she was a little bit more courageous.Gritting his teeth, he thought to himself, if he risked his death and simply severed his relationship with the Jiang family, his life was not in vain.

"Since Jiaojiao said so, then I will listen to you!" The eldest aunt gritted her teeth.

Xie Yujiao finally smiled when she heard this, and seeing the old aunt sitting beside her with a sad face, she didn't know what she was thinking, and was afraid that she would come up with some bad idea, so she simply put on a straight face, coldly Glancing at her, he said, "If you dare to persuade aunt to break up, then you will live with aunt in Jiang's house in the future, and see what that Jiang is like!"

The old aunt really didn't have such thoughts in her heart, but she had done a lot of bad things in the past, and Xie Yujiao couldn't help being worried about her, so she said something more.When the old aunt heard the words, she just said angrily: "Young girl, who are you scaring? This is!"

Xie Yujiao ignored her, just got up and left.

Two days later, the eldest aunt took care of the dowry list and ordered the little maid to give it to Xie Yujiao. She also said that everything was not bad, but she still took care of the fields and the shop, and the Jiang family would find other things. The man took it away and said that there was another piece of land that was not counted in the dowry at the beginning, but it was given to the Jiang family by the Xie family. He asked Xie Yujiao if he could find any evidence, and it would be best to get it back together.

Xie Yujiao had arranged all the things, and sent someone to invite Liu Fugen, and then said a little bit about the eldest aunt, and Liu Fugen just frowned and said: "If the eldest lady doesn't come to call the younger one, the younger one I'm going to look for the eldest lady today, I heard that people from the Jiang family went to the county government to sue, saying that the eldest lady instigated the servants to commit murder, this unlucky lord suppressed this matter, and only sent someone to the slaves early this morning I sent a letter asking me to go to the yamen for questioning! I reckoned that this matter should be vented to you, Miss, and I was planning to come, but soon Miss sent someone to invite you."

Hearing this, Xie Yujiao smiled instead of anger, and closed the lid of the teacup over and over again, then raised her head and said: "The people of Jiang's family have the guts, you just do what I say today, tell me Jiang's family borrowed money and refused to pay back, and beat their wife until miscarriage. Now our Xie family wants to make their family pay off their debts, sign a letter of release from their wives, and ask Mr. Kang to help make a decision."
