Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11883

Wanghai County, Qingshui Town, Tianxianglou.

Xingwang had already mentally prepared how to relay the whole story to Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei on the way here.

So, in front of the couple, Xingwang explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

"What? Sixi's mother... she, she's still doing this?"

Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei looked at each other in bewilderment. They had imagined all sorts of reactions from Sixi's family, but they never expected that Sixi's mother would come over to "plead guilty."

"That woman... she's really willing to go to any lengths for her man and sons!" Cao Bamei snorted, and undeniably, her eyes and brows were beaming with the smile of a victor.

Yang Yongjin also felt a moment of triumph. He had been feeling frustrated for so long, facing his daughter who always sided with outsiders, and he really had no way to deal with her.

But this moment of triumph was fleeting; his joy soon faded.

Because he knew that all of this was Qing'er's doing behind the scenes, using her power to force Sixi's family to bow down and compromise.

"Brother Xingwang, thank you for your hard work so late at night, making a special trip."

Yang Yongjin temporarily put aside his other thoughts and focused his attention on Xingwang again.

"Have you had dinner yet? I'll have the kitchen cook a couple of side dishes. Have a few bites to warm yourself up before you go back?"

Cao Bamei quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we just got some freshly roasted mutton. I'll go get it for you right away..."

Although Xingwang was a servant of the Luo family, no one dared to treat Xingwang and Ping'an with disrespect in the Yang family, Changping Village, the surrounding villages, or even the town's headman and the county government.

As for why?
Needless to say, Xingwang is a third-rank official in the Prime Minister's household. In the Luo family, he has already been trained by Qing'er to be a steward. The Luo family values ​​Xingwang and Ronggu, so no one else dares to neglect them.

Despite Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei's warm hospitality, Xingwang did not accept their invitations.

"Uncle, Aunt, I appreciate your kind invitation."

"I'll skip dinner. My wife is waiting for me to get back and give her an answer. I'll take my leave now!"

"Oh, I'll treat you to a drink next time you come over!" Yang Yongjin stepped forward, grasped Xingwang's hand, and stuffed a handful of copper coins into his hand.

"You can't do it, you can't do it..."

"Yes, yes, I'll see you out."

After seeing Xingwang off, Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei returned to the backyard and immediately saw Xiuhong still squatting on the ground washing and wiping the dishes.

The couple exchanged a glance, their expressions complex.

"Her father, what are you going to do about this? Should we tell Xiu Hong?" Cao Bamei asked in a low voice.

Yang Yongjin gritted his teeth: "Of course I have to say, this girl is hopeless and stubborn, she'd rather die than be with Sixi."

"Huh? We...we just agreed like that?"

"What else can we do but agree? But we need to ask them again first."

Yang Yongjin stepped forward and said to Xiu Hong, "You don't need to eavesdrop anymore. Your mother and I will go out with you. Call Si Xi over, and I'll have a good talk with him."

"boom!"

Xiu Hong was so startled that she dropped the plate in her hand, which shattered into several pieces.

This startled Xiu Xiu, who was standing next to her, so much that she almost jumped up.

When Cao Bamei saw the plate, she was so heartbroken she almost fainted.

"You silly girl... don't be so reckless! That plate is really expensive! Ugh! You're such a worry!"

Cao Bamei muttered to herself as she picked up a broom and began cleaning up the broken pieces on the floor, worried that Yongxiao might cut his finger if he got scratched. Xiuhong had already gotten up and rushed to Yang Yongjin, her face full of disbelief: "Dad, did I hear that right? What did you call me for? To call Sixi over?"

Yang Yongjin, his face grim, replied, "Hmm."

"Then you have to promise me you won't hit him or scold him!"

Yang Yongjin's face darkened.
This girl is a waste of her upbringing. She hasn't even brought Si Xi over yet, and she's already being overly protective of this and that, forbidding this and that.

Can't you feel sorry for your old father in front of you, whose hair and beard are all white?
"Go and call him, you should know where he is, right?"

Xiu Hong nodded repeatedly, her eyes, which had been dim for many days, lit up again, shining brightly in the night.

……

Changping Village.

Also at night, in the main room of Sixi's house, Sixi's two uncles and Sanxi were all present.

The two uncles were eating, each holding a large bowl of egg noodles and shoveling them into their mouths, wolfing them down as if they hadn't eaten all day.

In fact, the two old men had only eaten one meal, which was breakfast. How could they not starve to death!
What?
Why aren't you eating?

The two of them were busy searching for their nephew, Sixi, in and around the town!
Although Qingshui Town is not big, it is not small either. If Sixi is willing to hide, the two of them will be hard to find.

So the two old men wandered aimlessly around the town and its surroundings like headless flies, exhausting themselves but coming up empty-handed.

When I got back to my sister's house in Changping Village, the first thing I did was to quickly get something to eat and eat a few bites to catch my breath before I had the energy to talk about what happened today.

"We haven't found that brat. Either he's hiding deep inside, deliberately avoiding us, or he's not in Qingshui Town anymore, he's gone somewhere else."

Sixi's uncle's words immediately chilled Sixi's mother, who had been anxiously waiting nearby.

"My goodness, even if I bang my head against the door of the second house until it's cracked open and my brains are splattered all over the yard and doorway, they still won't let us go!"

"Mother, don't say that, it's bad luck. You must take good care of yourself!" The eldest daughter-in-law frowned and whispered a reminder.

Sixi's mother sighed, her face looking like she was about to die.

Everyone in the room looked deathly pale.

After a long silence, Sanxi said, "My fourth brother and I have a good relationship. If it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll go to town to look for him!"

Sixi's uncle nodded, raised his chopsticks and pointed at Sanxi: "Go and find him. Maybe he'll show himself. I don't believe he can run off to where Xiuhong is in town!"

With noodles in his mouth, Uncle Sixi mumbled, "Unless he doesn't like that girl anymore and went to another place..."

Sanxi shook his head: "Impossible. I know my fourth brother's thoughts best. He doesn't care about any other girls except Xiuhong!"

Moreover, Sanxi had a vague feeling that as long as he staked out the vicinity of Tianxianglou, he would definitely be able to find his fourth brother.

I have no idea what my two uncles were doing wandering around town all day!
But he is a junior, so it's not appropriate to say these things; it would be impolite to do so.

That's the agreement.

"So...am I still going to Xiao Er's place tomorrow?" Just as everyone was about to leave for bed, Sixi Niang suddenly called out to them and asked hesitantly.

Everyone could tell from her expression that she really didn't want to go again.

However, everyone said in unison, "Is that even a question? Of course we have to go!"

Sixi's uncle added, "Don't just kneel at the door and say empty words; you need to show more sincerity!"

"Brother, I've practically kowtowed to him, isn't that enough sincerity?"

"Kowtowing is empty and useless. You need to be observant and proactive, understand?"
