The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 40

But Jiang Guosheng has been a little dissatisfied ever since Xie Yujiao led someone to beat him up that day, and he moaned and moaned in bed for two days, but he still couldn't swallow it.Mr. Jiang originally felt that he was wronged and didn't want to continue the trouble, but he couldn't bear Mrs. Jiang's constant crying.The pretty maid standing beside her that day was originally the one she fell in love with and wanted to be her second wife, but now seeing Jiang Guosheng lying on the bed, she didn't know if it was useful or not, and she kept crying , and even urged Mrs. Jiang to report to the official.

In fact, there is no need to report these housework to the official. Usually, the two families reconcile and reconcile. When Mr. Xie was there, this happened a lot. In the end, each of them made concessions. The Jiang family relied on this once. The next time he extorted money from Xie's family.But now who knows that Master Xie has gone, and a Xie Yujiao appears, who doesn't play cards according to common sense, and runs over to beat Jiang Guosheng first.Mrs. Jiang felt that she might win if she reported this matter to the official, so she quietly called her servants to report to the official.

Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, people came to the yamen, and they erased all the reports they had reported to officials before. Instead, they mentioned that Xie's family also reported to officials, suing their family for not paying their debts, beating the wife, They also asked their family to sign the release letter.

Letting go of the beating of the principal's family, but the debts were not repaid, the arrester only said: "Our county magistrate has seen the IOUs sent by Xie's family, and they add up to more than 5000 yuan. Two, if you don’t pay it out, you will have to sell all your property. If you still don’t pay it off, you will still be in prison for ten or eight years! Now, I can only settle the matter of owed money first, and then talk about the things behind you."

When Master Jiang heard this, it was terrible. Although his family had a few silver coins, Jiang Guosheng had been idle and wasted all these years, and he had already lost a lot of money. How could he come up with so much money all of a sudden now? , it is unavoidable to sell the land and property, which is a big deal.

Mr. Jiang reprimanded Mrs. Jiang, who went to report to the police, and said: "Look at how big the incident is. In my opinion, if my son gets beaten up, he will get it. Now it's good, Xie's family is here to ask for debts!"

Mrs. Jiang was still confused, she frowned and said: "Your son was beaten so badly that he almost couldn't give birth to a grandson, and you are still talking sarcasticly here. In my opinion, we can't bear this anger even if we pay back the money." !"

When Mr. Jiang heard this, he immediately became furious, pointed at Mrs. Jiang's nose and cursed: "You know what, 5000 taels of silver, even if we sold our whole family, it's not enough to pay back!"

Mrs. Jiang has never asked about paying taxes and rents outside. How did she know that the Jiang family owed so much money to the Xie family? After being scolded by Mr. Jiang like this, she suddenly became a little stunned, and whispered: " Then... then, in your opinion, the son's justice can't be won?"

"What justice are you asking for? Hurry up and get your son up and go to Xie's family to plead guilty. It would be even better if you can bring your daughter-in-law back. If this really makes trouble, the daughter-in-law's dowry will be fine." I can't keep it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang woke up like a dream. Although the aunt and grandma refused to hand over the land deeds and properties, at least they would subsidize some money every year. Mrs. Jiang heard that this income is also If it was gone, I immediately became anxious: "Then...then our son was beaten for nothing...we have to go back and pay for it, right?"

Mr. Jiang's face was ashen, and he said angrily: "Wife is in the room, he can't beat him more or less, if he insists on such a heavy hand, tossing and killing the child, who can blame it?"

After Mrs. Jiang heard this, she felt chills on her back. Mr. Jiang is old now, and his body is weak and weak. When she was young, she did not eat less of his sticks. Now it is easy for her to feel more comfortable. Seeing Her son beat his daughter-in-law, but she intensified it. She wished that her daughter-in-law would have to suffer through the crying she suffered when she was young!

Mr. Jiang understands the truth of this. Kang Guangshou has just arrived, and the Xie family, as the largest landlord in this place, must have taken care of him. This is why he didn't want to report to the government in the first place. He said, it must have been ordered by Kang Guangshou, he couldn't twist his thigh with his arm, so he had to go to Xie's house to make amends, at least he passed the test in front of him first.

When Jiang Guosheng heard that he was going to Xie's house to make amends, he shook his head like a rattle, and said in a crying voice: "I was almost beaten to death at the door of my house, and you still let me go to their house, and give me the coffin board as soon as possible." It's settled."

Mrs. Jiang heard that it was difficult to deal with, and she only comforted her: "Who else can blame this, is it not your own heavy hand? Otherwise, I might have a grandson by now."

Jiang Guosheng didn't repent at all when he heard this, he just sneered and said, "She's 30 or [-] years old, how can she not know that she's pregnant with a child? I just looked at her and didn't say anything on purpose, so that I got so rough that I didn't have a child." Just reconcile with me, I still don't believe in this evil, I don't sign the letter to release my wife, what will she do?"

"You still have the strength to twist? If you don't sign the wife release letter, our family will be ruined. We owe the Xie family 5000 taels of silver. Now they are here to ask for debt!"

"The 5000 taels of silver, Boss Xie said before he was alive, as long as I don't take concubines, I don't need to pay back the silver, and this guarantee is still written! How can you say nothing?"

When Mrs. Jiang heard about it, her eyes lit up, and she only asked, "What about the letter of guarantee? Where is it? Take it out and have a look?"

Jiang Guosheng was stopped by the question, and he just muttered: "Why do I want that thing? He forced me to sign it, and I'm not happy! Of course it's at Xie's house!"

Mrs. Jiang squinted her triangular eyes and thought for a long time, then frowned and said: "Otherwise, let's pretend to go to Xie's house to apologize first, it's best to trick your wife back, let her go back and cheat out this guarantee letter, 5000 taels of silver isn't it?" Small sum, if you still want to live this life, you should give in first!"

Jiang Guosheng made sense, so he endured the pain and nodded. Anyway, his face has been injured for the past two days, and the thing underneath is useless. The doctor said that he should rest for at least a month or two, and see if it works. , he can't go out to spend time and drink now, so he can only agree.

Since handing over those things to the county government, Xie Yujiao has not been bothered by this matter. Anyway, the aunt and the two children are at Xie's house now, and Xie's family has a lot of time to spend with them, so Xie Yujiao has nothing to do these two days When I have nothing to do, I will dress up Xu Huiru's room with the maids.

Xu felt sorry for the two daughters of the eldest aunt and grandma, and only let them live in her main house. Usually, they are taken by an old mother and a maid. The life is much more comfortable than in Jiang's house.Even Baozhen, who had always been sick and crooked, had rounded cheeks.

While combing her hair, Mrs. Xu said: "When your cousin was young, her aunt also combed her hair. The little girl has to dress up beautifully to be attractive!"

Looking at the double bun in the mirror, Baozhen blinked her big eyes.Xie Yujiao came in from the outside and said with a smile: "My mother forgot about me when she had two cousins. When Huiru's cousin comes back, I will be thrown into the sky."

Mrs. Xu knew that Xie Yujiao said this intentionally to be coquettish, so she just smiled and said, "Forget it, after I finish combing Baozhen's hair, I will comb it for you too."

Xie Yujiao then went up, hugged Xu Shi from behind, rubbed her cheek and said: "My magpie was combed for me today, what a pity to tear it apart, I'll get up early tomorrow, and let it go again." Mother comb my hair."

Mrs. Xu reached out her hand to touch Xie Yujiao's cheek, frowned and said, "Why have you lost weight again recently, is it because the dishes in the kitchen are not to your liking?"

Xie Yujiao has lost a little weight recently, but according to Xie Yujiao's own observations, it is because she eats less in summer and has been growing taller recently. The few clothes she made in early Xia are now a little shorter when she wears them. Cut off.As soon as a girl pulls out her height, she will naturally look thinner.

"It's still hot right now, and I can't eat anything. When winter comes and I'm fattening up, what are you worried about, mother?"

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Xu felt relieved, at this moment, Mama Zhang came in from the outside, with a look of anxiety on her face, and said: "Mrs. Hui, Miss, the people from the Jiang family are here! "

In the past two days, no one in the yamen came to spread the word, and he didn't give any promises to the yamen when he came to Jiang's house, but he suddenly came to Xie's house, which made Xie Yujiao a little confused, and asked, "Who are here? "

"The old lady of the Xie family came with my uncle, and they didn't bring many family members with them." Mother Zhang just said.

Xie Yujiao thought in her heart, it won't be so easy for you to go out if it's delivered to your door, it's better to simply handle this matter today, so that you can spend the night with long dreams.

"Mother Zhang, you invited them in and waited in the living room of the front yard. Magpie, you go to the accountant, and ask the accountant to write a letter to release his wife in the name of Jiang, in duplicate." He did it when he got Aunt Fang away, and Magpie understood now, so he just nodded and said yes.

Seeing Xie Yujiao's arrangement, Zhang's mother obviously planned to end the matter today, so she nodded and went outside to invite someone in.Xie Yujiao called Ziyan again and said, "You go to Brother Shen and ask him to come to the lobby of the front yard. With him by my side, I can at least be emboldened."

After Ziyan heard this, she burst out laughing, and nodded obediently, Xu became a little worried, and said: "Otherwise, I will go to the front with you, and argue with them?"

Xie Yujiao just shook her head and said, "Mom, it's better not to go. When you meet those people, you may be robbed of them before you finish half a sentence, and you will make yourself angry and angry."

When Mrs. Xu heard what Xie Yujiao said, she also felt that it made sense. She was indeed not someone who could reason with them. Seeing the injuries on her aunt's body, she shed tears. Not an enemy anymore.

Xie Yujiao thought for a while, and then said, "Mom, why don't you go to my aunt's room and invite my aunt over here."
