After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 9
Mrs. Huang paused for a moment, "Having said that...you don't have to be like this...this family is still here."

"How can their rich family lack such a little money? Maybe they usually send more than this amount of slaves. Mother, you have to be realistic and don't think about going back to be an old lady and enjoying the blessings, right? Besides, it doesn't matter what he looks like, I can It’s still a big deal if there’s a piece of meat missing, he can just watch it if he likes.”

Grandmother Huang sighed repeatedly, but she felt that what Xiao Huang said made sense. She looked at her second daughter-in-law with the last glimmer of hope, "The second daughter-in-law, we will set off tomorrow... we can still go home to get things. No? At least let us bring some food and drink for the journey——"

The second aunt turned pale and shook her head, "I'm afraid we can't. We have to start from here tomorrow."

"What...what are we going to eat along the way?"

"That's right. It's far away from Yelang County. How can our family of old, weak, women and children survive?"

"It stands to reason that the food on the distribution road will be provided by Jiejie."

Someone sneered, "Count on them? It would be better if we don't starve to death."

"Then tell me, now that all the Xu family's money has been confiscated, what can you do? Why don't you challenge the court and ask them to return it?"

Someone started arguing, and the look of defeat on someone's face became more and more obvious.

When they thought of traveling thousands of miles away and being alone on the road like this, everyone suddenly felt that their future was hopeless. The second uncle's concubines even started crying, complaining that God was not open to the eyes.

Huang sighed, seeming to accept this irreversible fate, "That's okay. My father-in-law was the one who fled and settled in Xujia Village back then. He was also naked at that time. Now...it's almost the same..."

Xu Zhenying quickly asked Miao in private: "Mom, I don't believe that the second bedroom in the first house has nothing to hide. Where is our family?"

Miao looked around and made a "shh" gesture, "You little girl, what are you worrying about? Don't worry, we won't starve to death on the road."

Xu Meixiao came over and opened her wet eyes, "Mom, are we leaving Bianjing tomorrow?"

Mrs. Miao's eyes were red, she hugged her youngest daughter lovingly, and sighed: "My poor son, he has only been blessed for a few days, and he will have to endure hardship for the rest of his life. If I had known... I should have separated the family earlier. Oh...what does all this wealth mean...nothing can compare to our family being together with Meimei."

Xu Meixiao smiled heartlessly, as if she had no idea what was going on, let alone how life would change dramatically from now on. She only pulled the corner of Miao's clothes and said, "Mom, don't be afraid, we are a family together. "

Xu Huiming also said: "My sister is right, at least I have saved my life. My son is still young, and he might be able to return to Bianjing in the future."

After being exiled for three generations, he was a pariah. He could not take the imperial examination or do business. The taxes and corvee were the heaviest. It was extremely difficult to stay alive. How could he easily return to this prosperous place?

Xu Huiming was just comforting her mother.

Mrs. Miao said "My good little boy" repeatedly, and tears fell down as she thought of the unknown future.

From time to time, a few muffled sobs could be heard throughout the cell, and there were occasional curses, as if there was a dark cloud hanging over him.

Xu Zhenying sighed for a moment, thinking that he was so unlucky that the entire family of the original owner who had just traveled through time had to be exiled.If I had known earlier, I might as well have just hung up.

But let's make peace with it now, there is no other way at the moment.

This low mood continued into the evening.Today's dinner was actually better than the previous days, and it also included big hot meat dumplings. The jailer said it was the last meal and was enough.

Everyone didn't care about the image, they picked it up and gobbled it up.

The eldest aunt even said that even if she was going to die, she would be a glutton. She ate twelve big buns in one go and didn't stop until she vomited.

Several girls seemed to have recognized the reality. Xu Leji, who usually only ate a small mouthful of rice, actually ate six or seven steamed buns today.

Aunt Chun from the second room even forced nine-year-old Xu Minglu to eat nearly ten steamed buns. She was not let go until Xu Minglu cried and said she was going to die.

I have to say that the Xu family adjusted their mentality quickly.

From the initial fear of life and death to the numb acceptance now, some people are even actively preparing to set off tomorrow.

In the evening, an unexpected guest came.

The fence was knocked with an iron rod, and then a rude voice was heard, "This is it, I only give you half a cup of tea, don't delay and make it difficult for the brothers."

someone is coming?

"That's natural. Brothers have worked hard, and this is a small token of my gratitude. Let's drink it as a token of gratitude."

The person who came was a plump, middle-aged man, well-dressed and quite sophisticated in his behavior. As he spoke, he had already put a few pieces of silver into the arms of the yamen servant.

Grandma was the first to recognize the man, and she immediately put on a fighting stance and said in a high-spirited voice: "Watchdog of the Zheng family, what are you doing here? I already told you that the girls of my Xu family will not be concubines!"

Xu Zhenying looked up and knew from the memory of the original owner that this person was the boss of the Zheng family.He was the one who came to express his intention to break off the engagement last time, but he was a bit humble and petty when he came last time. Now that the outcome of the Xu family has been decided, Niu Zhangshi's face is not as good as last time.

"The old lady still has strength. She will be on the road tomorrow. Can't she save her strength?" Mr. Niu smiled disdainfully, then his eyes fell on Xu Zhenying, quite arrogantly, "Miss Xu, things are different now. The family is in dire straits. With your status, you must be embarrassed to mention the marriage with the third son of my family, right? My wife is kind-hearted, thinking of her long-term friendship with the Xu family, and intends to give you a hand. If you nod, I, the Zheng family, will send someone to take you back tomorrow. You don’t have to be exiled. From now on, the food and drink will be no better than what you suffered in Qianzhou?"

The eldest aunt said, "Ah, that's nice to say. I've never heard of anyone's first wife becoming a concubine in my life, and they still claim to be a new rich man. I'm afraid they don't have any money and are using their reputation to make a living. They all say Now, if our Xu family’s girl doesn’t want to be a concubine, are you old or deaf?”

It was rare for Xu Lezhi to be on the same side as his eldest aunt, "It's just a new upstart. I've never seen any upstart be so shameless."

If a girl from the Xu family became a concubine, would she still want Xu Lezhi's face?
If her father resurrects, she still wants to return to Bianjing in the future. She doesn't want to have a cousin as a concubine and be embarrassed to death.

Xu Zhenying didn't have time to make excuses with the Zheng family, and said directly: "The boss of the cow, we Mingren don't tell secrets, we are all out to fool around. Everyone knows what the Zheng family has planned. Well, I'm too lazy to waste time with you. , as long as you prepare a few things for me, I will return the marriage certificate to you immediately, and if anyone asks, I will never say anything about the Zheng family."

Niu Zhangshi's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to bargain, but thinking about the explanation from the master and his wife, he held back immediately.

Miss Xu Liu must not enter the house, even if it is a concubine.

But the Zheng family must not take the initiative to break off the engagement, otherwise the master's face will be lost.
