Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11295

Although he himself didn't like visiting the Hu family, after all, he was the least liked by his father among the sons-in-law.

However, as long as she sent a message, he would immediately send someone to pick her up, and sometimes he would even stand at the street corner waiting for her...

It's been almost two hours today, and we've sent three or four groups of people to report the news. Not only has he not come, he hasn't even said a word of explanation?
How is this going?

Hu had a bad premonition in her heart and was in great pain. Her father and stepmother kept nagging in her ears, crying and pressuring her over and over again, which made Hu upset. In addition, her face was in pain and she was almost unable to bear it.

Fortunately, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Master, Madam, the son-in-law is coming!"

Several drooping heads raised up at the same time and looked in the direction where the sound came from outside the door.

Hu finally felt relieved.

Hu Xuesong had already stood up, propped up the table, and ordered the servants, "Quick, go and invite the son-in-law in!"

Just as the servant ran out of the door, Hu Xuesong said again: "I will go pick up the son-in-law myself!"

Tao and Hu hurried over, supporting Hu Xuesong on both sides as they walked towards the door.

They walked from the backyard to the front yard, but did not see the figure of County Magistrate Xie Junhao.

The three of them walked all the way to the front yard.

At this time, the mess on the ground in the front yard after the fight had not yet been cleaned up. The yard door was wide open and a carriage was parked at the door.

There were guards with swords beside the carriage, and the word "Thank you" was written on the lantern hanging next to the carriage.

"Where is my son-in-law?" Hu Xuesong was stunned and looked around.

Did he not get off the car at all?
What does it mean that you don't get out of the car to come in when you arrive at your father-in-law's house?
Mrs. Hu was also confused. When she looked towards the carriage at the door, the curtain of the window was lifted, revealing the thin profile of a middle-aged man.

"Ma'am, get in the car and go home."

Mrs. Hu was stunned, not only because of her husband's unusual behavior of not entering the door when he arrived at the door, but also because her husband's voice was unusually cold and indifferent, and even had suppressed anger in it.

Mrs. Hu glanced at her father and stepmother beside her, showing some hesitation.

In the carriage, the voice of County Magistrate Xie Junhao was heard again: "I will count to three. If you don't get on the carriage, don't blame me for writing you a letter of divorce!"

When Mrs. Hu heard this, her body trembled and her face changed drastically.

She let go of her hand and subconsciously walked towards the gate of the courtyard, but was stopped by Hu Xuesong!
"Sir, what do you mean by this? My daughter is your first wife. What has she done wrong? As an official appointed by the court, how dare you divorce her at will? How can you be so disrespectful?"

Following Hu Xuesong's scolding, Tao went forward and grabbed Hu.

Mrs. Hu froze in place, looking at her father who had turned pale with anger, and then at the carriage parked at the gate. She was at a loss, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she mumbled, "My husband wants to divorce me..."

When she married Xie Junhao, he was still a poor scholar with a paralyzed mother at home.

It was extremely difficult for him to study while taking care of his sick mother.

When he reached marriageable age, he was proposed to several men, but after seeing his family situation, none of them was willing to marry their daughter to him.

My father happened to be the county magistrate at that time. Because Xie Junhao wrote a very good article, my father admired it very much and promised to marry him with the intention of betting on it.

She was a concubine's daughter and did not have much dowry. After they got married, neither of them disliked each other. She took over the burden of serving her mother-in-law, giving birth to children, and doing housework, so that he could free up time to concentrate on studying. Xie Junhao was really hardworking. From a juren to a jinshi, he was previously a county magistrate for five years. Later, because of the recommendation of his teacher, he was transferred to Qing'an County as a county governor. This year is just the second year.

Xie Junhao was born in a poor family and worked his way up to where he is today through studying. He worked diligently in the government office and was not a treacherous or evil official.

He was not pedantic and was humble, so during his tenure as the county magistrate of Qing'an County, he maintained good relations with various forces, as well as several large and small families and gentry in Qing'an County.

Although my husband is low-key, my mother's family has relied on his influence and has become more and more high-profile in Qing'an County in the past two years.

Xie Junhao has hinted to me several times in private, asking me to persuade my parents, but I...

Mrs. Hu stood in the middle of the yard, in a dilemma. She lowered her head and shed tears silently. She was sad and confused, not knowing what to do.

A low sigh came from the carriage, and a pair of black official boots stepped out.

Then, a thin middle-aged man in a vermilion official robe got off the carriage and walked into the Hu family yard.

Seeing that Xie Junhao was finally willing to get off the carriage, Hu Xuesong put away his previous tense attitude and put on the kind face of a father-in-law to greet his son-in-law.

"Junhao, I know you are busy with official duties, but today, someone came to your house and smashed things up. Your brother-in-law Wangjia is dying..."

"My dear son-in-law, you are the backbone of our family. You must seek justice for our Wangjia!" Tao also cried, wiping her tears.

Hu Xuesong glared at Tao and asked her to step aside, because Hu Xuesong knew his son-in-law's personality.

If there is anyone among the Hu family’s relatives and friends who doesn’t pamper Wang Jia, it must be Xie Junhao.

Moreover, Xie Junhao would sometimes scold Hu Wangjia when he saw him being a playboy, so Hu Wangjia was most afraid of Xie Junhao, his brother-in-law...

In the main hall of the Hu family.

Xie Junhao sat in the main seat, and Hu Xuesong took the initiative to sit below him.

Tao sat next to Hu Xuesong again. In such an occasion, Hu had no seat, so she stood behind Tao with her head lowered, like a maid.

Xie Junhao glanced at Hu, "You are the wife of the county magistrate, don't look down on yourself!"

Hu was stunned for a moment, then raised her head.

At this time, Mrs. Tao quickly stood up and supported Mrs. Hu: "Son-in-law is right, why are you still standing? Come over and sit down, we are all family!"

Only then did Mrs. Hu lower her head and walk to Xie Junhao and sit down on the other side of him.

Xie Junhao looked at Hu's red and swollen face again and frowned.

Seeing this, Hu Xuesong quickly used this incident to change the subject: "Son-in-law, did you see this? This is the one who was beaten by the witch who broke in tonight..."

"My daughter introduced herself as the wife of the county governor, but the other party didn't take you seriously at all. Not only did she call you by your name, she also slapped your wife..."

"Son-in-law, you are not only our son-in-law, you are also the parent official of our Qing'an County. You have to make the decision for us in both public and private matters!"

Tao nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Hu also covered her painful face and looked at Xie Junhao pitifully.

As a result, Xie Junhao snorted coldly and said to Hu Xuesong and Tao: "Because Wangjia took a fancy to a cedar tree of the He family, you failed to force it to buy it, so you used such means. Why didn't you mention this matter?"
