Chapter 18

"Mother, you are finally back."

When Xu Miaomiao arrived home from the silk and satin village just now, she saw Erbao waiting at the door with her head drooping and her left hand holding Xiaobao.

"Erbao, Xiaobao, why are you here?"

Erbao kept silent for a rare time, and pointed in the direction of the room, Xu Miaomiao put down the things in his hand and walked towards the room suspiciously.

Opening the curtain, Xu Miaomiao saw a man and a woman sitting on their chairs.

The old woman was eating melon seeds while crossing her legs, and the man with the unshaven beard looked curiously at Song Wushao on the bed.

Xu Miaomiao searched in memory repeatedly before realizing that this is the original owner's mother and elder brother.

The original owner's family is considered rich, but because the original owner is a daughter and has no value, the parents gave a sum of money and separated the family, which made Xu Miaomiao able to marry Song Wushao again.

According to the original text, the original owner's parents never appeared, and it seemed that he had changed the original plot again.

As soon as the woman saw her coming back, she quickly stood up laughing and said, "Miao Miao is back."

"Why are you here?"

Xu Miaomiao asked, these two were not good people in the memory of the original owner.

Before the woman could speak, the man put his hand in his mouth and said, "We'll stay with you for two days."

As soon as the words fell, the woman looked at her with a hehe smile.

Xu Miaomiao frowned, and said, "I don't have many houses here, why don't I pay some money for you to live in the inn?"

"No!" The woman refused to speak hastily, "How can anyone live outside the house all the time?"

Thinking of the woman's kindness to the original owner in the past, Xu Miaomiao said: "You see, I only have two houses here, one is where Song Weiwei lives, and the other is here."

The man looked around and took a sip, and looked at Xu Miaomiao with disdain: "It is said that you have made a fortune, how can we still be poor!"

The woman on the side quickly pulled the man.

"Miao Miao, aren't you building a new house?" The woman sat on the seat and said unhurriedly: "We can just live there."

Xu Miaomiao's eyes dimmed. Only people passing by in the village knew about repairing a new house. They were in the next village, so how could they know so clearly.

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, "There is a room built behind this house, but it has just been repaired, and many things are not perfect. If you want to live in it, you can live in it."

The woman smiled happily, pulled the man behind her and walked towards Wu Zi with the packed bag.

Really well prepared, Xu Miao thought secretly.

"Miss Song, are you there?"

The voice at the door was suppressed extremely low, but Xu Miaomiao still heard it clearly and hurried out to check that it was Matchmaker Li.

Xu Miaomiao, who thought she was still here to marry her, quickly waved her hand and refused: "Miss Li, I really don't want to remarry."

"Oh, that's not the case." Matchmaker Li waved her hand and pulled her aside and said mysteriously, "Your natal mother and elder brother have seen it."

"Miss Li knows about this?"

"They asked about you in our village a few days ago, and today they came here with big bags and small bags. How could they not know about you?"

"Oh?" Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows: "What are they asking about?"

"What else can I do? It's to see how you are doing. The main thing is whether you have any money."

Matchmaker Li rubbed her hands and said mysteriously: "I thought something was wrong before, so don't think my words are ugly after asking Mrs. Song."

"Ms. Li, it's okay to say." Xu Miaomiao responded.

"Your brother Xu Shan likes to gamble, and he owes a lot of money outside, and his creditors are looking for him everywhere, and the inn is not willing to accept him." Li Matchmaker took a breath and continued: "I guess I didn't go out. Come to you."

Xu Miaomiao knew it well, thanked Mrs. Li and went to the kitchen to cook.

As the night fell, Xu Miaomiao took a side of chicken and Yipeng steamed buns, and put another plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table.

Song Weiwei didn't want to mess with Xu Miaomiao's natal family, so she hurried back to her room after eating.

As soon as Xu Shan sat down at the table, he stared at the chicken on the plate and devoured it.

Er Bao had quick eyes and quick hands, and only then did he grab a piece of chicken for his younger brother and himself. Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath and looked at the three children comfortingly.

Xu Shan sighed dissatisfied after eating, and said to Xu Miaomiao: "Sister, your food here is so-so, everyone says you are rich, why is your brother coming now, and you don't bring delicious food to entertain him?"

The woman on the side also murmured: "Yes, Miaomiao, you will go to the market to buy some knuckles for you later."

Xu Miaomiao nodded pretendingly, and after they left, she took the three children and went to the market.

"Mother, do we really need to buy elbows for uncle?" Er Bao pouted and looked at Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao touched her little head: "Aren't you full?"

Dabao remained silent, Erbao blushed, and Xiaobao nodded to Xu Miaomiao with bared teeth.

"Go, mother will take you to eat delicious food."

After all, he took the three children to the market and found a private kitchen to feed the three children.

Originally, they received them out of the kindness of their parents, but it was obvious that these two people had bad intentions, Xu Miaomiao frowned, and seemed to have to guard against it.

"Where's my elbow?"

As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered, Xu Shan stopped her and looked at Xu Miaomiao mercilessly.

Xu Miaomiao touched her head, and stammered, "There is no one who buys elbows on the street, besides, brother, you didn't give me money to buy elbows."

"Bah." The man gave her a disdainful glance: "What! It's your luck that I eat two bites of your meat."

After that, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by the woman and dragged back into the house with Xu Miaomiao.

The woman rubbed her hands together and said, "Miaomiao, we are in a bit of trouble now, your brother is not young anymore, it's time to marry a wife, look at how rich you are now, why don't you build a house for your brother at that point?" , marry a daughter-in-law."

"Mother, what are you discussing with her!" Xu Shan frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "She can live to this day is not all because of us, now that she has money, shouldn't she give it to us!"

"Hehe" Xu Miaomiao chuckled lightly: "If I remember correctly, it's my mother, you think I'm worthless, and you gave me some money back then and you wanted to distance yourself from me. Now that you're rich, you think of me again?"

The two were silent, and Xu Miaomiao lowered her eyes and continued: "If you really don't have money for me, you will naturally help me, but my brother ruined his family because of gambling. How can such a bad habit be contaminated? , I will not give this money no matter what!"

"It's against you!"

Xu Shan raised his hand to hit Xu Miaomiao, but Xu Miaomiao stopped his hand and beat it down, took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the woman: "You can live in the house, but we will eat separately in the future, the child is still young, I don't want to Let them know that there is such an uncle!"

Xu Shan's eyes sparkled when he saw the silver, he picked up the money and rushed out, the woman behind him laughed and chased after him.

The room returned to its previous calm, and Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief for the first time.
