Chapter 7: Why don’t I marry into your house

March 24, 2023Ai Hrist

After that, the two Xiao families’ daughter-in-laws left.

Patriarch Xiao looked at Mrs. Kong with a look of hatred.

“Can’t you be stronger yourself now that Hanzheng hasn’t waked up?”

“The family is separated, and the relationship is broken off. Those who should be tough have to be tough.”

Mrs. Kong nodded with tears in her eyes, “Yes!”

She also resisted, but she was not their opponent at all.

She was too weak, almost unable to protect her daughter.

Patriarch Xiao saw her weak and weeping appearance, and he couldn’t help but sighed: “I only hope that Hanzheng can wake up soon.”

Otherwise, he doesn’t know if these three people can survive.

Xiao Hanzheng was the most promising junior in his clan, and he was also trained by himself. It would be a pity if he couldn’t wake up.

He will also be very distressed.

Mrs. Kong cried and said, “Yes, it would be great if Zheng’er could wake up quickly.”

Shi Qingluo doesn’t quite agree with this statement. She always believed that relying on others was worse than relying on oneself.

But with Mrs. Kong’s temper, it was useless to say it.

And looking at the situation just now, Mrs. Kong was also working hard to protect her daughter.

It was just a pity, the difference in physical strength and ferocity between the two sides was too great. Mrs. Kong was powerless.

Patriarch Xiao took out a money bag from his sleeve and said: “Here are a few taels of silver that I and several clan elders pooled together. Take it and go find a doctor to see Hanzheng quickly.”

Mrs. Kong was moved. She had already borrowed six taels of silver from Patriarch Xiao’s family to see a doctor for her son.

Not only did the patriarch pressure her to pay the money, but now he has pooled money with several elders, who were not very rich.

Although she believe that the medicine that Shi Qingluo brought out was effective, if my son woke up before the fever subsides, or if he was weak after waking up, he has to continue to drink medicine and replenish his body.

So even though the money was a hot potato, Mrs. Kong has to take it.

She walked up to the patriarch, knelt, and kowtowed: “Thank you for the great kindness of the patriarch and the elders. When Zheng’er wakes up, we will hurry up and save money to pay you back.”

If it wasn’t for the help of the patriarch and others during this time, she wouldn’t know how to live with her children.

In the past, the patriarch and others also helped her son a lot, and she always remembered this great kindness in her heart.

She took another deep breath and said, “If Zheng’er can’t wake up, I will pay back the money.”

From this point of view, even though Mrs. Kong was weak, she was a responsible person.

Patriarch Xiao waved his hand, “We are not in a hurry, it is important to save Hanzheng first.”

Then his eyes fell on Shi Qingluo, “Miss Shi, thank you for protecting the mother and daughter of the Xiao family just now.”

When they arrived just now, they happened to meet Shi Qingluo who drove the Wu family away.

Otherwise, they will have some trouble driving away the Wu family.

Shi Qingluo smiled indifferently: “Don’t mention it. It’s just a matter of helping out when you encounter injustice.’

Patriarch Xiao thought for a while and reminded, “The Wu family is not only a rich family in the county, but Madam Wu’s sister married the magistrate as a concubine, and even the magistrate will be courteous to their family.”

“Miss Shi, be careful in the future.”

In any case, this young lady also helped the Xiao family, and he didn’t want her to be retaliated against by the Wu family.

Shi Qingluo discovered that the patriarchs and elders of Xiaxi Village were much more humane than Shangxi Village.

She also accepted the other party’s reminder, “Okay, I will pay attention.”

Patriarch Xiao told Mrs. Kong that if the Xiao family wants to sell Xiao Baili, she can let Xiao Hanyi find them.

After speaking, he left with the others.

Xiao Baili immediately walked over to help Mrs. Kong up.

Both of them looked at Shi Qingluo gratefully: “Miss Shi, thank you so much today!”

Mrs. Kong said sincerely: “We will find an opportunity to repay your kindness in the future.”

Shi Qingluo shook his head, “You’re welcome, it just happened.”

She thought for a while and asked: “I don’t think those two shrews from the Xiao family will let you go, have you figured out how to deal with it?”

These words made Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili’s faces drastically change. They didn’t know how to deal with it.

What should they do if they can’t beat and scold people?

“We don’t know either.” Mrs. Kong replied sadly and frustrated.

Mrs. Kong was weak, but not stupid.

She looked at Shi Qingluo: “Is there anything Miss Shi can do?”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be asking this question.

Shi Qingluo asked back: “What do you think of me?”

Mrs. Kong didn’t hesitate: “Miss Shi is good.”

But what does this have to do with dealing with those two shrews?

They can’t ask the girl to help them every time.

Shi Qingluo didn’t go around in circles, and said bluntly: “Why don’t I marry into your family and be your daughter-in-law, and Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi’s sister-in-law?”

“In this way, if those shrews dare to bully you again, I will be able to clean up and repair it more legitimately.”

The three all showed the same look of shock.

Mrs. Kong came back to her senses after a while, “You mean, you want to marry into our family?”

Although many little girls in the village wanted to marry her son before, none of them had ever been so straightforward.

Besides, after her son fell into a coma, she heard that many people were rejoicing behind their backs, saying that it was a good thing that Xiao Hanzheng didn’t want to get married so early, otherwise their daughter would be unlucky or become a widow.

She wouldn’t be surprised if Shi Qingluo said in the past that she wanted to marry Zheng’er.

But the current situation in their family was self-destruction, it can be said that it was a fire pit, why does Shi Qingluo jump into it?

Although she felt that Shi Qingluo was someone she can rely on, if the other party gets married, she will be able to deal with those two shrews.

But she can’t cheat others like this.

So she sighed and said: “It’s not that I don’t want to, Miss Shi, but you have also seen the situation in my family. If you marry here, life will not be easy.”

“Zheng’er hasn’t woken up yet, and the family still owes a debt of more than ten taels of silver, and the family is almost out of food.”

“Although we broke up with the Xiao family, as long as Zheng’er doesn’t wake up, those people will make trouble without the bottom line.”

With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said: “And if Zheng’er can’t wake up, you will become a widow after you get married. We can’t treat our benefactor like this.”

Although Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi were also grateful and like Shi Qingluo because of the previous incident, they can’t say that it was good for her to marry out of their conscience.

If their elder brother was still awake, they would be willing to have such a sister-in-law, and they would not feel guilty.

But their brother was in a coma, and they don’t know if he can wake up. They can’t cheat people.

After listening to Mrs. Kong’s words, and seeing Xiao Baili’s expressions, Shi Qingluo felt that her choice was right.

Shi Qingluo expressed her thoughts very frankly: “The Shi family wanted to marry me to Young Master Wu to be buried with him. You also know that if I don’t marry myself, my natal family will be a big fire pit.”

“I have a strong personality, so I’m not suitable to marry into a big family, complex personnel relationships, and strong in-laws.”

“Your family is very suitable for me.”

“I don’t despise your family’s current poverty and troubles, I just have one request. If I marry here, you must not interfere with anything I do in the future. I should be the head of the family.”

“In exchange, I will protect you and lead you to live a prosperous life.”

She then added: “I think Xiao Hanzheng should get better after taking the medicine I gave.”

“If he really can’t wake up, I don’t care if I will be a widow, as long as I can live freely.”

It was better to make these words clear in advance.

She was such a person, and she married with such a purpose. Now it depends on how the three mothers and siblings choose.
