I rewrote family history

Chapter 161 Mother Said, Don't Be Scorned

Xu Cong and Chen Xian'an moved into the house in the county seat.

The matter of discussing Lao Taishan's investment in the industry did not go well.The water thrown by the married daughter.Although Chen's father had some intentions, investing in a new industry was too risky and would easily cost hundreds of silver dollars.Father Chen didn't want to take these risks.

No one's money comes from the wind.

So at Chen Xian'an's suggestion, the couple lived temporarily in the county.In this case, for one thing, she can go back to her natal home from time to time to persuade her father to agree to invest.Secondly, in the countryside, when getting along with her in-laws, some conflicts will inevitably arise, and she also wants to hide for a while.In addition, Huang Yingzi can't cook with water during her confinement, and she has to take care of the housework. Of course, she doesn't want to live in the country, she is so tired that she will die.

"Xu Cong, Xian'an..."

"How is your family doing in the country? Why don't you come back to see it? It's strange to leave me alone here..."

On the first day of her stay, Lan Hua took Chen Xian'an's hand and recounted her old love.

In the past, when people lived in both the left house and the right house, this house was also lively.But since Xu Cong and Chen Xian'an went to Yanjing to study, and Xu San'er and Huang Yingzi returned to the countryside to manage the family business, the house gradually became deserted.

She and Huang Yingzi are the best handkerchief friends, and both of them have similar pasts.

As soon as Huang Yingzi left, she lost someone to confide in.

"My father bought a lot of land in the countryside. As for Huang... Aunt Huang, she is pregnant. She just gave birth to a boy called Shuanzi a few days ago. It is probably because of this. Aunt Huang has difficulty moving. I came to visit you here, and after a while, we will be able to meet..."

Huang Yingzi was younger than him, and Xu Cong didn't know what to call Huang Yingzi.But he knew how Aunt Liu called Aunt Yun in the house, so he thought about it and called her "Aunt Huang".

As for the friendship between the two families, they have not moved around in the past year, so it is indeed a bit cold.

He thought about it, and tomorrow he would entrust Xu Daluzi with a message home.Shuanzi's full moon wine is coming soon, so let the family send an invitation card to Lanhua early to show that Lanhua and Xiaobaozi have not been forgotten.

Although father is sophisticated and tactful, there will always be some things that he can't handle properly.

Xu Da Mule is a member of the Xu clan, and he drives his mules to the county about three or four days apart.Mules carry people, goods, and news along the way.

"Good boy, good boy..."

"I heard that Qiuhe is also pregnant with a boy this time. Her belly is pointed. The doctor has checked her pulse. She will definitely give birth to a boy this time. After giving birth to a boy, she will be safe and enjoy the future. "

After Lanhua heard that Shuanzi was a boy, she was happy for Huang Yingzi and told about Qiuhe.

The married person is different, and she and Qiuhe drift away.

But the two of them had an unusual friendship in the Zhao family. Like their sisters, they met a lot on weekdays and knew Qiuhe's current situation and situation.

While talking, a boy in rags led Huagou and two little girls into the living room.

"Madam, the young master, brother Nian and brother Pan are here."

The boy in rags respectfully bowed to the orchid.

After bowing, he said.

The boy's brows are very hard, his face looks like a knife cut, and there is a red scar the size of a thumb on his left forehead.He also looks older, the kind of old after being beaten by the wind and frost from the outside world.

His hands were curled up in his sleeves, his eyes were on his toes.

"Xinzi, go to the front yard and help your mother chop firewood."

Lan Hua nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then, she twisted the veil and gave him some instructions.

"Is he Nobuko?"

"Have they grown so big? Have they changed so much?"

Xu Cong, who was drinking tea, glanced at the back of Xinzi leaving, and thought secretly.

He and Nobuko don't see each other very often.When he was still in the courtyard, he heard that Xinzi's parents got up early and sold breakfast at night, and sent Xinzi to study in a private school in the countryside.Now it seems that Xinzi should be a lump of elm wood, and he can't read well.So Xinzi's parents took him to the Yu family and acted as the long-term follower of the young master of the Yu family.

"Brother, have you come to see me?"

Huagou was very happy to see Xu Cong. He threw himself into Xu Cong's arms, begging Xu Cong to hug him.Wait for Xu Cong to hug her well.He said: "My father said that in another year, I will be able to enter school. After enrolling, I will be able to become a scholar like you, brother..."

"Well, it's settled, you should study hard."

"Be a champion from now on."

Xu Cong touched Huagou's hair.

Although they are all first-borns, the flower dogs born by Lanhua are naturally stronger and lively, and they don't look like they are about to die at all.Shuanzi was not as lucky as Huagou. He was born a little prematurely and had a weak constitution, so he had to go to pay homage to Team Leader Zhou as his teacher, and entered Liyuanxing.

Huagou threw himself into Xu Cong's arms, and Pandi and Niandi, who were slightly older than him, had nothing to do.Although Aunt Lanhua was very kind to them, she was still a stranger after all.Being able to enter Yu's house is more because of Huagou's guidance.Therefore, when they saw the flower dog coming to Xu Cong's side, the two of them also walked over.

"These are Qiuhe's two daughters, twins, one named Pandi and the other Niandi."

Lanhua introduced to Xu Cong.

After the introduction, she said to Brother Pan and Brother Nian, "This is Xu...Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu and your mother know each other, so you can call him Uncle Xu."

Seniority is a bit messy.

She is married to Er Chaozi, who is Xu Cong's aunt.But Qiuhe and Xu Cong are the same generation.If Qiuhe's two daughters were to call Xu Cong his elder brother, it would be equivalent to giving Qiuhe a generation and Xu Cong a generation out of thin air.Doing so, obviously, is not very pleasing.

So no matter how chaotic the seniority is, it's fine for everyone to call their own.

"Brother Pan? Brother Nian?"

Xu Cong put down the flower dog and stroked their heads.

He groped around and found some change, probably two copper coins and a few silver cents.He roughly divided it into two parts and handed them to the two respectively.

"This is a gift from uncle to you..."

"I saw you for the first time, and I didn't have time to prepare anything to eat. You take the money and buy it yourself. Remember, don't tell your mother... Uncle gave you the change, otherwise your mother will definitely confiscate your pocket money..."

he said.

Four years ago, Qiu He's decision to abandon money still remained in his mind.

"Are you pitying me?"

The echo of this sentence has been hovering in his heart, cutting his flesh like a soft knife.When writing a letter to Chen Xian'an, he mentioned Miyawama Kanichi from Koyo Ozaki's "Golden Yaksha".He felt that Qiuhe's abandonment of money was the same as the one that kicked the palace every now and then.

One chooses the secular world, while the other is still chasing the light.

No matter how much people in the world proclaim progress, in the end, no one likes the maids and maidservants who follow the eldest ladies. The only thing they like is... the eldest lady.Everyone is very hypocritical.While spurning the poor boy, he has a heartfelt love for the daughter of the rich family.

A rich daughter only needs to have a middle-aged beauty and a not-so-bad personality...  

She will be loved and loved by the world.

An unchanging law.

"Take it, don't let your mother know."

Xu Cong pinched the faces of the two little girls and said with a smile.

The looks of the two little girls are very similar to Qiu He. He can tell that they both have oval faces, and their noses are not very beautiful, and their noses are a bit flat.

"mother……"

"Mom...let's not take other people's money indiscriminately."

Surprisingly, Brother Nian refused Xu Cong's alms. Although her two eyes were fixed on the money Xu Cong put in his palm, she still chose to refuse.

"Mother said, don't be favored by others..."

"It's hard to be at ease after receiving kindness."

Brother Pan stared at the money eagerly, and added a sentence.

"In that case..."

"Then I will listen to your mother and not give you two money."

Xu Cong took the money back from his hand into the pocket of his robe, and he gave the two girls a bow, "Your mother is right, after receiving the kindness from others, I feel uncomfortable. Thank you for teaching me this today." Truth. I also hope... I hope you two can remember this truth for the rest of your life. You will not be looked down upon by others for the rest of your life."

"Even if we eat bran-swallowed vegetables, we don't ask for help..."

"Don't be blinded by people!"

He poured out his thoughts to the two girls.

Today he was filed at his father-in-law's house, and he felt very uncomfortable.After being told by Brother Pan and Brother Nian, he suddenly realized that his life was becoming more and more unlike himself.

From the beginning of his studies, he just didn't want to be favored or pitied by others.

"Yes... Uncle Xu."

When Brother Pan and Brother Nian saw the money disappearing, they felt empty for a moment. They nodded and pretended not to care.

They thought that if they persisted a little longer, this strange uncle would involuntarily stuff money into their hands, or say something that they couldn't refuse.

However, they did not expect that Xu Cong actually took back the money.

"You two..."

"Your Uncle Xu gave you money out of kindness, how could you not want it..."

"Just like your mother, if you are so stubborn, you will suffer a lot sooner or later."

Seeing this, Lan Hua brought the three children around Xu Cong to her.Then she took out a snack box from nowhere and distributed a few snacks to each person.

After sharing the snacks, she reprimanded Brother Nian and Brother Pan.

"I'm going back to my room first."

"uncomfortable……"

Chen Xian waited quietly for a while, and offered to leave.

Just now, what Xu Cong, Niandi and Pandi said was slapping her and her natal family in the face.

Although her father said some harsh and harsh words in the process, but in the end...

She put down the dress that was pinched between her legs, gathered her clothes, and walked out of the living room of the left house, and walked towards the bedroom of the right house.

Xu Cong watched this scene without making a sound.

He understood that Chen Xian'an was caught in a dilemma.It's just that now is not the time to persuade Chen Xian'an.It's better to wait for the meeting to return to the room before persuading.

It's not suitable to argue with your wife in public and whisper.

As for what he said to Brother Pan and Brother Nian just now, it was also from the heart.And he thought that this was a good time to teach Brother Pan and Brother Nian, so he said what was in his heart without any scruples...

Besides, it's only a matter of time before things get awkward.

There is no need to be silent because of this.

"She was born as a young lady..."

"You need to coax her more."

Although Lanhua didn't know why Xu Cong and Chen Xian'an had an awkward relationship, she could see the emotion Chen Xian'an had when he left just now, and she was not very happy.

Before she finished speaking, an old man broke into the house.

"Ma'am, my woman had a miscarriage..."

"I want to borrow some money from you..."

With a plop, he knelt down.

Xu Cong was stunned for a while when he heard the words. He took a closer look at the old man and found that he was a tinsmith from the tinsmith shop in Hemiao Street. He was shocked.

It was Qiu He who had a miscarriage?

The teacup slipped from his hand, hit the ground, and shattered into eight pieces.

"What happened to Qiuhe?"

"Is she... all right?"

Xu Cong walked up to the tinsmith, looking nervous and talking nonsense.

He didn't understand what kind of feelings he had for Qiu He.If you like it, there must be one.No man would refuse the advances of a beautiful girl.But if you say more likes, I don't think much.If so, he should have ignored everything and married her directly, even if she refused again...

If she refuses, it is not impossible for her to buy it.

"you are?"

The tinsmith suddenly became vigilant, and looked at the man in front of him vigilantly.

On his wedding night, he knew that his wife was not perfect.But this is not a big deal, if the maid of a rich family is beautiful, it is normal for her to suffer this calamity.He was prepared in his heart.

He was afraid that this young master was Qiu He's young master.

"Xu Cong..."

Hearing these two words, the tinsmith heaved a sigh of relief.

Qiu He worked as a maid in the Zhao family, not in the Xu family.

"She had a miscarriage..."

"Hemorrhage, she may... die. The midwife asked me to send her to the western medicine clinic, but the western medicine, you know, young master, that place requires too much money, and I can't afford it..."

The tinsmith sighed deeply, "If it doesn't work..."

Before he finished his sentence, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he looked at the two rich men.

The kneeling of the poor is not worth much.

Xu Cong clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them again.

He is a man, even if he wants to help, he still needs to worry about some influence.

"you need to know……"

"I can't be the master of this family. Saving Qiuhe is not a matter of one or two yuan, it costs at least tens of yuan. I can't spend so much money in the family. If I let the master know, he will definitely not like it..."

"I still have six yuan from my private house, you can take it and top it off first..."

Orchid looked troubled.

She gritted her teeth tightly before letting go of the six dollars.

help?How to help?
If you give tens of yuan, it will definitely be in vain.Furthermore, if Qiuhe is not rescued, what if the tinsmith refuses to admit it in the future?It's impossible for her to really force him to death.If you are forced to die, you can't squeeze out so much money.

Besides, what she said was also true.

She can't be the master of this family.

"Thank you ma'am."

The tinsmith made a few more bows to Lan Hua, and he left Yu Zhai gratefully.

"Will he...will save Qiuhe?"

Xu Cong looked at Lanhua and asked.

He didn't know much about tinsmiths.

"It should be..."

"He is very good to Qiuhe, and he is always close to Qiuhe's food and clothing on weekdays..."

Lan Hua sat on the teacher's chair, and she replied casually with a worried look on her face.

"I gonna go see……"

"After all, it is... a human life."

Xu Cong was in a daze for a while.

Then he got up and said a few words to Lan Hua.He took the top hat that was on the table, put it on his head, and walked towards the door.
