Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11871

As for what Uncle Sixi was covering up with the front of his clothes, Uncle Sixi knew perfectly well.

Inside were peanuts, melon seeds, and a few roasted oranges.

These things were given by the general's wife, specifically for Uncle Sixi. They had nothing to do with me or Sixi's mother.

Uncle Sixi came out clutching his things, not because he was stingy and unwilling to share an orange, but because he took out a handful of peanuts to share with everyone.

It was because of these things that, even though the General's wife didn't explicitly say so when she gave them to Uncle Sixi, Uncle Sixi was well aware of her attitude, so he didn't dare to take it upon himself to share them with everyone.

If I share this with everyone, and it gets back to the General's wife, I'm afraid none of us will get away with it.

"Alright, alright, stop coveting what's in other people's pockets and get down to business!" Uncle Sixi waved his hand, completely suppressing Sixi's mother's little scheme.

Sixi's uncle said to Sixi's mother, "Go and cook lunch later, have a good meal, and in the afternoon, we'll all go to town to find Sixi!"

"Brother, are we really going to look for him?" Sixi Niang asked, looking reluctant.

Sixi's uncle slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "You're not going to look for it? Fine, then I'm not going to get involved!"

After saying that, Sixi's uncle got up to leave, which frightened Sixi's mother so much that she quickly went over to stop him, saying all sorts of nice things, "Brother, my husband and two sons have been arrested. If you just abandon them at a time like this, I really won't have any support."

“What you’re saying is so disheartening to hear from Uncle Sixi. He’s been running around taking us everywhere these past two days!” Uncle Sixi said.

Si Xi's mother said, "He is still Si Xi's uncle, and you are my brother. We are closer than each other..."

"Brother, I'll do whatever you say. I'll take the wives to cook right now, and we'll kill a chicken at noon to give you a good meal. In the afternoon, we'll go find that brat Sixi!"

"Find it first, find it... and then we'll talk!" Sixi's mother muttered to herself again.

It's not necessary to go to the second son's house of the Yang family to ask for marriage just because we found him. After finding him, we can have Sixi talk to Xiuhong and that will convey the message.

As for how to propose, we'll talk about that later; let Sixi's father decide.

Unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by Uncle Sixi, who had returned.

Uncle Sixi felt a chill in his heart, thinking to himself, "No wonder my wife was angry when I got home. I was really doing all this for nothing, helping this ungrateful wretch."

Fine, I'm not made of clay, so I won't stick to you like this anymore.

Uncle Sixi knocked on the courtyard gate, the sound attracting the attention of the people talking inside the main room.

"Uncle, come in and have some tea. We'll have lunch at my house. I was just about to go over and invite you over. My mother will kill a chicken for you, and my uncle and I will have it with our drinks. You've all been working hard these past few days."

Sanxi quickly came out of the main room and extended a sincere invitation to his uncle.

Uncle Sixi looked at his nephew with satisfaction, smiled and said, "I'm not eating anymore. There's something I almost forgot. Here, you can take this."

Uncle Sixi took out a bamboo token from his pocket. "This is a token that the General's wife gave me at the Luo family's today. She said I can use it to visit someone in prison at the county jail." "Really? Finally, I can visit someone in prison! That's great!" Sanxi took the bamboo token with both hands and examined it. There were words engraved on it, but unfortunately, apart from Sixi himself who had learned a few words from Xiuhong, the other brothers were all illiterate. They didn't even realize that Sanxi was holding the token upside down...

"Uncle, Mother, come quickly! We can visit you in prison now!"

Actually, Sanxi didn't even need to call out; Sixi's uncle and mother had already been following behind them towards the courtyard gate.

Several people gathered together, taking turns to examine the prison visitation token in their hands, marveling at it.

"Really, if I hold this sign, I can see Sixi's father?" Sixi's mother looked incredulous.

Sixi's uncle said, "What are you saying? This was given to us by the general's wife, how could it be fake?"

Sanxi said, "Mother, Uncle, how about we visit him in prison tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's visit your father and your two brothers in prison tomorrow and see how they are doing! We won't go to town to find Sixi this afternoon. Let's get ready first and bring some things over to your father and the others."

“Okay, well, Uncle, should we take an oxcart tomorrow? Or walk to town and then rent a horse-drawn carriage?” Uncle Sixi suddenly turned to Uncle Sixi for advice.

Si Xi's mother and San Xi both looked at Si Xi's uncle. San Xi even asked, "Uncle, did the General's wife say what we can and can't bring in?"

Uncle Sixi said, "The general's wife said that we can bring a little bit of food and clothing, but they will check us inside. Whether we can get them to them is up to the jailers."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and Sixi's mother became displeased again. "Should we still bring it? It'll be a waste anyway!"

Sanxi said, "We still have to bring them. Dad and my two older brothers were arrested while they were wearing the clothes they were wearing, so we should at least bring them two coats to cover themselves with."

Sixi's uncle said, "There are some things that the general's wife didn't say explicitly, but we need to understand them ourselves. That is, bring some money and bribe the jailers. That way, the things we bring will probably end up in the hands of my brother-in-law and my two nephews."

Sanxi nodded repeatedly, "I agree with what my uncle said. This is called social etiquette, and you can't do without it no matter where you are."

Si Xi Niang felt a dull knife cutting her flesh, and her features gradually contorted.

Sixi's uncle then asked Sixi's elder brother, "Brother, how are we going to get there tomorrow?"

He had asked this question before, but before Uncle Sixi could respond, Sanxi interrupted him.

This time, Uncle Sixi responded: "I'm telling you, you'll have to figure out how you're going to get there yourselves. I have a lot of things to take care of at home, so I'm not going!"

"What? Big brother, how can you not go? Your own brother and nephew are locked up in that jail!" Sixi's mother suddenly exclaimed, her tone full of dissatisfaction and displeasure towards Sixi's uncle.

Uncle Sixi patiently said, "Just because he is my own brother and nephew, I have been running around everywhere since the incident, without stopping for a moment. I have also done everything I could to get you this prison visitation pass!"

"What, sister-in-law, instead of thanking me, you're criticizing me? Is there any justice in this world?"

Sanxi hurriedly said, "Uncle, we all know how much you've done and how hard you've worked. My mother didn't mean it that way; she just doesn't know how to talk..."

“Sanxi is right, my sister’s brain isn’t very sharp, and her mouth isn’t very good either. Brother, don’t take it personally with her, she’s just a woman! Just ignore her!” Sixi’s uncle quickly tried to smooth things over, kicking Sixi’s mother aside while warmly shaking Sixi’s uncle’s hand: “You have to come with us to the county jail tomorrow, you’re our pillar of strength!”
