Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 797 Not a Deserter
Xia'er pursed her lips tightly, and said half aloud: "Master is joking, how could the servant's father and brother be heroes! They are just deserters."

When Xia'er was sold into the mansion, she thought she was a poor family and couldn't survive. Later, she found out that her father and brother went to the battlefield and unfortunately died, and her mother also went with her because of excessive grief and anger, leaving Xia'er behind. One person had nowhere to go, and was adopted by his uncle's family, but the uncle was a heartless one, so he sold Xia'er and ran away with the money.

It was only later that Chu Zhi asked Xia'er about it when Xia'er leaked her words.

It's just that Xia'er didn't go into details at the time, but now he said: "They went there for five years. When the army returned triumphantly, the servant and mother went to look outside the city gate, but they didn't wait for the father and brother of the servant. Later, I heard that only those who made meritorious deeds Only the soldiers paraded through the streets, and the rest went straight back to the barracks. After three days, they would go home one after another to visit relatives. We waited for a full ten days, but before my father and brother came back, we went to the government office to inquire, but the government office said that my father and brother were deserters. And I don’t know why this word spread. Everyone knows it, but we don’t know it. Deserters..."

Xia'er smiled, with bitterness and depression: "Although deserters are not as good as traitors, they are not much worse..."

From then on, whenever people in the village saw Xia'er, mother and daughter, they would yell, throw vegetable leaves, throw soil, and some people came to deliberately humiliate them. After insulting their mother and daughter, even when they went out to buy rations, no one would sell them. Xia's mother insisted that Xia's father was not a deserter. Xia's father was honest, loyal, and warm-hearted. , such a good farmer, how could he be a deserter?There must be a misunderstanding!

But no one believed it.

After all, it was said by the officials themselves, how can it be false to say that the military master handled it himself?
Xia's mother couldn't bear this blow. In addition, everyone in the village stepped on the mother and daughter of Xia's family with one mouthful of spittle. Xia's mother was depressed and left soon.

After Xia's mother left, Xia'er was left alone, and the head of the village decided to send Xia'er to her uncle's house, but Xia's family had such a disgraceful incident, no one was willing to take her in, so the uncle simply sold Xia'er to get some money. The money from selling and living can still save some money for the son to ask for a wife in the future.

Later, Xia Er met Chu Zhi.

"Then do you believe it?" Chu Zhi asked, "Do you believe your father is a deserter?"

Xia'er's eyelashes trembled fiercely.

She naturally doesn't believe it, but is it useful if she doesn't believe it?
Anyway, in the eyes of the world, in their village, everyone knew that his father and brother were deserters, and they were ashamed to say so.

"As long as you firmly believe that your father is not a deserter, that's enough." Chu Zhi held Xia'er's hand, "In my opinion, if your father and brother have spirits in the sky, what they want is not what the world thinks, but the closest relationship." , the thoughts of the person you love the most, as long as you believe in him, then they will die without regret.”

After being silent for a while, Xia Er wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "It's the servant's fault. I originally wanted to comfort you, master, but I asked you to comfort the servant instead."

"You and I are one master and servant, regardless of each other."

Xia Er bit her lip.

"Xia'er." After a long silence, Chu Zhi said slowly, "I regret it, if I had listened to you and Dong'er back then, how much would I have..."

She obediently stayed in Chiwu City and did not come, and Han Zhan would not be swept away by the wind and sand in order to protect her. His whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

If possible, she really hoped that it was her who was swept away by the wind and sand.

She was really scared, afraid that something would happen to Han Zhan.
