The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 43

The old aunt got a letter from his wife, and limped on crutches to the backyard to report to the eldest aunt, with a happy smile on her face, and she was always happy.The maid who followed behind went up to support her in a hurry and said: "Auntie, grandma, please slow down and pay attention to the injuries on your body!"

The old aunt and grandma didn't care about the injury at the moment, she grinned her teeth and kept moving forward, and couldn't help but let out a ouch when she took a step, which made the maids laugh for a while.

Mrs. Xu was worried, and had been waiting at the second door for a long time. Seeing that the old aunt and grandma came back first, waving and waving two pieces of paper in her hand, she knew that this matter might happen.When Xie Yujiao was not unable to do things, Xu's heart fell into her chest.

The maid helped the old aunt to cross the high threshold, and together with Mrs. Xu entered the room where the aunt was resting. Then the old aunt sat down on the embroidered pier in front of the aunt's bed, and put the wife in her hand. Handing over the book, he said, "Look, this thing is done, with Jiaojiao here, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

Mrs. Xu heard that the old aunt and grandma usually called Xie Yujiao, but now she also called Xie Yujiao, and she was happy for a while, so she sat down on the chair beside her and asked, "Is everything going well outside? Didn't you make a move?"

The old aunt was proud of herself at the moment, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, I don't even look at who's house is here. Is there anything they can do? Don't let them move!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu felt more relieved, seeing her aunt and grandma holding the two letters to release her wife, two lines of hot tears could not help but burst out of her eyes.

"I never dreamed that I could leave Jiang's house alive." The aunt's nose was sore, her tears couldn't stop for a while, she hurriedly pressed the veil, and the old aunt said: "Don't cry, everything is now Well, you just have to take good care of yourself, you are still in confinement! How can you cry every now and then!"

While talking, the maid outside said from inside: "The girl is here."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly got up to greet her, and saw Xie Yujiao coming in from the outside with a smile on her face, with sweat stains still dripping from her forehead.Mrs. Xu pulled her to sit down on the armchair at the side, held a teacup and said to her, "What method did you think of, so that the surname Jiang signed this letter to release his wife?"

Xie Yujiao's cheeks were already red when she came in from the outside, but when she heard Xu's question, she became even redder. If Xu knew that she had come up with such a sinister method, she would be scared to death if she didn't worry about it.Xie Yujiao was a little embarrassed at the moment, she opened her big eyes and gave the old aunt a wink.

The old aunt looked at her helpless face, and knew that the matter just now was very difficult to talk about. Xie Yujiao is still a big girl, how can such a thing be said.

"She's a girl, she can think of any way, it's not that the bastard thinks she's in the wrong, so she signs it, and doesn't waste any words."

Xie Yujiao nodded again and again: "That's right, he dared to be cruel in Xie's house, and I beat him to the ground!"

Mrs. Xu was a little chilled when she heard the beating and killing again, but now that the matter has been resolved, she didn't care about anything, so she smiled and said: "It's already noon, I'll go back with you to prepare together Let's have lunch!"

At this time, Zhang's mother came in from the outside, seeing everyone was here, she just said, "Girl, the second housekeeper is here!"

Xie Yujiao originally said it casually, but she didn't expect Mama Zhang to actually call out the second butler. Now that she had something to explain to him, she said, "Let him wait for me in the study, and I'll be there right away."

After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she saw that her aunt was still holding the wife's letter and weeping, so she said, "Don't be sad, Auntie, now you are out of the sea of ​​suffering, and you will have a better life in the future!"

The great aunt wiped away her tears, folded up the wife's letter, and said to Xie Yujiao, "You can keep this thing for me."

Xie Yujiao accepted it with a nod, and only continued: "Although the wife's letter has been obtained, your dowry is still at their house. This matter must be decided by the county magistrate to settle the old accounts!"

The eldest aunt is not sad now, she put her wife's book in her hand, she became more righteous, she just nodded and said: "It's better not to leave a penny to the Jiang family! It's just... I have to trouble you Jiaojiao again. "

Xie Yujiao smiled brightly, with dimples on her cheeks, and said, "We are a family, what are we talking about?"

After hearing this, the old aunt felt very ashamed in her heart, and she sighed secretly while sitting aside.

Xie Yujiao went out from the aunt's side, turned around and went to the study. Liu Fugen was waiting outside. Seeing Xie Yujiao coming, she just bent her body and lowered her back even lower.

Every time Xie Yujiao talked to the butler, she invited them to sit first, but none of them dared to sit, saying that they liked it and stood up to answer, Xie Yujiao just let them go.

"The Jiang family's letter to release his wife has already been obtained. I still need to trouble the second housekeeper. I will go to Mr. Kang and say thank you for his help this time. There are also debt problems. I think our family does not lack the 5000 taels of silver." Hua, if the county government can solve this matter, we can donate the 5000 taels of silver!"

Xie Yujiao calculated in private that the dowry of the great aunt, from the fields to the shop to the antiques, added up to 3000 taels of silver.Besides, the 5000 taels of silver were originally discounted from grain. It may not be easy for the Jiang family to pay back the cash, and they may still have to use grain as a deduction. The grain of 5000 taels of silver was shipped over, and the Xie family did not have such a big place. Let's face it, if Kang Guangshou can help the Xie family get this done, the mere 5000 taels of grain is really nothing.

Now that the north is being beaten so hard, one grain of rice can't wait to eat it in two. There is so much food in vain, it's no wonder that Kang Guangshou is not tempted!

Hearing what Xie Yujiao said, Liu Fugen also thought it was a good idea. The money owed by the Jiang family was deducted from the running water when Mr. Xie was around. : "The girl is rich, so she donated as soon as she said she would donate."

Xie Yujiao pouted and thought about it, before she settled down and said, "Donating is better than giving to the Jiang family, unless Mr. Kang doesn't want it, anyway, I'm too lazy to bother us to ask for money."

Xie Yujiao has a personality that can't tolerate sand in her eyes. Recently, she feels a little upset when dealing with the bad things about her aunt. She just wants to solve this matter quickly, so she can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then the old slave will do it like this. The girl is at home and waits for the slave to reply."

Liu Fugen walked to the door, but was called back by Xie Yujiao and said: "In a few days, go to Jiang's house to count the dowry. You can ask the county government to send a few people over, and when you can save it, you will start to move your hands again. I can't explain."

Liu Fugen only nodded and memorized everything, and then went to the county government.

This matter really did not meet Xie Yujiao's expectations. Kang Guangshou heard this, and his heart was not a little bit, and Liu Fugen was so polite, he only sent the IOUs of Xie's family and Jiang's family, and said with a silly smile: "My big brother The young lady said that our family is not good at debts, but she doesn't want to take advantage of the good food and money. Anyway, it's hard for the Jiang family now, and the north is fighting hard, so she just donated it to The imperial court, let the imperial court accept this debt, it can be considered that our Xie family has done their best."

Kang Guangshou clearly knew that Xie Yujiao's trick was to buy convenience, but it didn't make the Jiang family happy, and with the government's intervention, the Jiang family couldn't make any trouble.Now it's okay to release the wife's letter. If the Jiang family comes and refuses to accept the account, the only way for the Xie family is to sue the government. Anyway, they want the government to take action. With such a big prize, the government will handle things a lot more quickly!

Holding the stack of IOUs, Kang Guangshou kept a smile on his face and said, "It's easy to say, and you should do your best."

Liu Fugen saw that Kang Guangshou agreed very quickly, and felt more happy, and said again: "In a few days, I will go to Jiang's house to count the dowry of my aunt and grandma, and then I will ask Mr. Kang to call two policemen to fix the place for our family." That's good, you also know that there is really no one in our family now."

Kang Guangshou knew that it must be Xie Yujiao who was afraid that Jiang's family would make trouble, so he wanted to ask someone from the county government to help, so he agreed: "When the time comes, you can just say something, and I will send a few arresters to help you count the dowry. This account is also counted and counted together."

Liu Fugen got the letter, and went back happily to answer Xie Yujiao. Seeing that the matter was almost done, Xie Yujiao was in a good mood. She also ate a few more mouthfuls for dinner and took a comfortable hot bath. , fell asleep early in the morning.

In the next few days, it rained twice, one autumn rain and the other cold. Xie Yujiao was in ancient times. Although she was thin and thin, she hadn't been ill yet. But she didn't escape this time. She suffered from the wind and cold. fall sick.

Mrs. Xu was so anxious that she wished to serve her in person every day. Xie Yujiao knew that she just had a common cold, but in ancient times there was no good medicine, so she could only drink bowl after bowl of traditional Chinese medicine. She had a temper I was so anxious that the disease became more and more angry, and I couldn't get up on the bed.

"Mom, go back and rest. I'll sleep and sweat." Xie Yujiao looked at Xu's sad face and said weakly on the bed.

"I'm even more worried when I leave. I can only rest assured after seeing your fever subside!" Mrs. Xu refused to leave, sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out to touch Xie Yujiao's forehead, her brows furrowed.

Xie Yujiao felt helpless, and within 2 minutes of closing her eyes, Xu's hand came up again, how could she fall asleep!
"Mom, I can't sleep with you like this. The doctor also said that sleep is the only way to maintain health. You should let me sleep peacefully."

Mrs. Xu was only worried, and she was afraid that Xie Yujiao would be upset, so she said, "Then I'll go and sit outside. If you feel uncomfortable, just call out."

Xie Yujiao nodded in a daze, covered the quilt and closed her eyes and fell asleep. Mother Zhang looked at Xu's sad face, and said, "It will be the first day of the new year in a few days, madam, why don't you go to Hongjue Temple for incense?" , there are a lot of things going on at home recently, I happened to beg in front of the Bodhisattva, maybe the girl can get better sooner."
