super concubine

Chapter 8 Qiao Zheng
Where did Yu Niang go?
It turned out that Widow Chen came to look for Yuniang early this morning, and went up the mountain together to catch pheasants.

Because Xiao Mo needs to replenish his health and there is no chicken at home, Yuniang wants to go up the mountain with Widow Chen to catch some pheasants. If there are no pheasants, other delicacies are also fine.

So Yuniang and Widow Chen went into the mountain early in the morning. In the afternoon, the two women had little gain, only two pheasants. Widow Chen and Widow Chen thought it was not easy to enter the mountain once. At the beginning of spring, before the poisonous snakes came out, it was a good time for hunting, so I wanted to catch more mountain treasures.

It wasn't until the evening that Yuniang and Widow Chen found a rabbit nest by mistake and caught two more gray rabbits. Then they went down the mountain with satisfaction, but the time was up and it was almost night.

When Yuniang and Widow Chen were walking in the town, they were immediately blocked by someone. Yuniang took a closer look and found that it was old man Wang who lived opposite Xiao's house.

Old man Wang is quite old this year, his son died early, and he died before he got married, leaving only Uncle Wang alone, because he lived close to the Xiao family, so he got some land from the Xiao family, and supported himself by plowing the land .

After seeing Yuniang, old man Wang said anxiously: "Madam, you are back!"

Because old man Wang is a farmer of the Xiao family, he called Yuniang Madam.

"What's the matter?" Yuniang asked puzzledly, holding the pheasant and the gray rabbit in her hands.

Old man Wang said: "Ma'am, you should go home quickly. The old lady is very anxious. Even Lizheng has gone to your house. Many villagers think you are missing, and they are discussing how to find you!"

"what?"

Yuniang quickly bypassed old man Wang and ran home.

After entering the door, I saw Li Zhenglin Chong sitting in the front hall of Xiao's house, and beside him sat a middle-aged man with a dignified expression, and there were also several old uncles from the town, all of whom were from Changle Town. The famous old people all came to Xiao's house after hearing that Yuniang was missing.

This is also because the Xiao family is in Changle Town, a scholarly family, so something happened that attracted the attention of these people.

Although the current Xiao family is slowly declining, these old people will never forget the prestige of the older generation of the Xiao family.

When Yuniang came in, Lin Chong was comforting Meng Qiuxiang. Meng Qiuxiang fell on the chair, with tears in his eyes, and murmured, "What should we do, how will we mother and son live in the future?"

Hearing Meng Qiuxiang's words, Yuniang's heart was sour, tears fell, she hurriedly ran to Meng Qiuxiang and knelt down, and said: "Mother, it's because of Yuniang's fault that Yuniang came back. You should talk to me when you go out." You said it!"

Seeing that Yuniang really came back, Meng Qiuxiang opened her eyes wide, stopped crying, and a look of joy appeared on her face, but then she turned her head away.

At this time, an old man stood up and asked Yuniang: "Yuniang, where have you been? You didn't tell me when you went out, you made everyone anxious!"

The old man is also surnamed Xiao, surnamed Ding Shan, is Xiao Mo's family uncle, and the Xiao family can be regarded as distant relatives, he is an old man in Changle Town, and his son is the same as Xiao Mo's elder brother Xiao Hao, who has not returned after the army marched north. There are only Xiao Dingshan and his wife in the family now, but Xiao Dingshan is considered a big family in Changle Town, and with the pension from the government, the two of them are free from illness and disaster, so they don't have to worry about life so much.

When Yuniang heard the question, she said, "Back to Uncle, I went into the mountains with Sister-in-Law Chen early this morning, and caught a few treasures, trying to make up for Uncle..."

After that, Yuniang's voice was very low, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

Meng Qiuxiang snorted, and said, "Replenish your body, your own body is incapacitated? You are a daughter, go to the mountains, what if..."

The latter words were a little unlucky, but Meng Qiuxiang didn't say anything, she paused, and then said: "Your father will be here soon, this time, you should go back with your father, our Xiao family can't keep you anymore!"

When Yuniang heard Meng Qiuxiang's words, her eyes widened and she began to cry. She hugged Meng Qiuxiang's leg and cried, "Mother, what's wrong with Yuniang? Mom, tell me, and Yuniang can change it. I'll go back with daddy..."

Hearing Yuniang's cry, Meng Qiuxiang couldn't bear it, but this time she was really frightened by Yuniang. If Yuniang hadn't come back now, when Qiao's family came, Meng Qiuxiang wouldn't be able to say no. Clearly, if Yuniang really disappeared in the Xiao family, maybe the Qiao family would sue the government.

There were only orphans and widows left in the Xiao family. Seeing that Xiao Mo's condition has improved a bit, if there is a lawsuit at this time, how can there be any way out?

But after all, Yuniang stayed in the Xiao family for three years, and she has always been very responsible, and took care of Xiao Mo's mother and son with all her heart, and even took her own dowry as a pawn for the Xiao family. Meng Qiuxiang also saw all this. inside.

Thinking of this, Meng Qiuxiang sighed, and softened her tone to Yuniang: "Son, our Xiao family has been sorry for you all these years. Your husband went to serve in the military after worshiping heaven and earth with you. The body hasn't come back yet, and your uncle has been ill since then, and the family is run by you, you...why are you doing this!"

After Meng Qiuxiang finished speaking, Lin Chong and the other elders sighed and shook their heads. Although many families in Changle Town have experienced the situation of the Xiao family, there are indeed very few people as loyal as Yuniang!

Hearing Meng Qiuxiang's tone softened, Yuniang quickly said: "Mother, Yuniang is not afraid of hardship, Yuniang said, this life is a member of the Xiao family, and after death, she is also a ghost of the Xiao family, mother, Yuniang Don't go, don't leave you!"

You, of course, include Xiao Mo!
Yu Niang was indeed a bit bitter in her heart. She originally thought that after Xiao Mo woke up, she would finally watch the clouds and see the moon, but she didn't expect that after Xiao Mo woke up, Hu Yunxue would take away her heart immediately. The idea of ​​being able to adopt Xiao Mo as a wife, but now the hope is getting smaller and smaller.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, don't give up!
Because Yu Niang knew that if she left the Xiao family like this, then an unknown fate awaited her. In this era, widows want to remarry, except for men who lost their wives and remarried, no one would care.

In this case, if Yuniang leaves the Xiao family, she may have to marry someone as a concubine, so Yuniang is extremely unwilling to leave the Xiao family.

After Yuniang finished speaking, Meng Qiuxiang also fell silent, feeling undecided, not knowing what to do. At this time, a few people entered the gate, but it was Yuniang's father, Qiao Zheng, and Yuniang's brother, Qiao Wenxuan.

Qiao Wenxuan is in his twenties this year. He got married when he was 16. His wife, Mrs. Wang, has a son and a daughter.

After entering the door, seeing Yuniang kneeling in front of Meng Qiuxiang and crying, Qiao Zheng couldn't help but turn pale and was about to explode. Fortunately, Lin Chong noticed Qiao Zheng's uneasy expression, stood up in time, and shouted: "Bo Jun!"

Bo Jun is Qiao Zheng's name. After hearing Lin Chong's words, Qiao Zheng nodded to Lin Chong. There were a lot of contacts, and the relationship between the two families was also good. With Lin Chong in the way, Qiao Zheng's temper was not as strong as before. He snorted angrily, pulled Yuniang's skirt and said, "Go, come back with me!"

Yuniang broke free from Qiao Zheng, ran behind Meng Qiuxiang, shrunk her body and shook her head, but she didn't want to follow Qiao Zheng back, but she didn't dare to speak out.

Qiao Zheng's face darkened, and he grabbed the stool next to him, and was about to attack Yuniang. Fortunately, Qiao Wenxuan held Qiao Zheng, and Qiao Zheng gave Qiao Wenxuan a look, and said, "Get out!"

Qiao Wenxuan lowered his head and let go, Qiao Zheng pointed at Yuniang and said, "Bastard, can you go?"

Yuniang shook her head again, Qiaozheng was furious and said, "Well, today I will kill you bastard!"

After Qiao Zheng finished speaking, he went around behind Meng Qiuxiang to catch Yuniang. How could Yuniang dare to run away?He remained motionless, allowing Qiao Zheng's stool to hit him on the head.

Everyone was shocked, seeing that Yuniang had no intention of dodging at all, it was too late to help, at this moment, someone shouted: "Stop!"

Hearing the sound of stop, Qiao Zheng really stopped, the hand holding the stool stopped in the air, he said in surprise that the person who spoke was Xiao Mo who had been bedridden all this time!

"Uncle..." Yuniang yelled when she saw Xiao Mo got up from the bed, and stopped Qiao Zheng in time to protect herself from harm. Halfway through the yelling, Yuniang changed her words again.

"Ziheng..."

Xiao Mo leaned against the side door of the front hall, although he barely got up from the bed, but now his body is still a little weak.He nodded to Yuniang, and then said to Qiaozheng, "Uncle Qiao Shi, please speak up if you have something to say. After all, Yuniang is still from the Xiao family. For the sake of my late father, please be merciful!"

After Xiao Mo appeared, Qiao Zheng was surprised at first, and then when he heard Yuniang calling Xiao Mo Ziheng, a dignified look flashed in his eyes. Now when he heard Xiao Mo's words, he sneered, pointed at Meng Qiuxiang and said: "Ziheng, it's not that I'm unreasonable. Of course, I know what Ziheng said just now. But Ziheng has been ill for three years, and many things happened during it. I'm afraid Ziheng doesn't know about it. The matter of Yuniang, I and I Sister-in-law has discussed it a long time ago, what she means is that Yuniang can leave Xiao's house, if you don't believe me, you can ask your mother!"

After taking a look at Meng Qiuxiang, Xiao Mo didn't need to ask, Xiao Mo knew what Meng Qiuxiang meant at noon, so he must have told Qiao Zheng before that he wanted to return Yuniang's innocence and let her leave the Xiao family, so Xiao Mo Said: "Yes, my mother did say it before, but uncle should know that the current Xiao family is in my hands, right?"

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Qiao Zheng also became silent.

Although there are only two people in the Xiao family, Meng Qiuxiang and Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo should listen to Meng Qiuxiang, but there is an old saying that obeys the father at home, obeys the husband when married, and obeys the son when the husband dies, so Xiao Mo said that the current Xiao family, It was he who had the final say, and he was right!
Judging from what Xiao Mo meant, he was going all out to keep Yuniang!

After seeing what Xiao Mo meant, Xiao Dingshan also opened his mouth. He stroked his beard and said: "Xiao Mo is right, now he is indeed the one who has the final say, if what he says doesn't count, there is the old man!"

As a distant relative of the Xiao family and an elder, Xiao Dingshan is of course qualified to say such things.

Hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Qiao Zheng asked: "Then tell me, what about Yuniang?"

Xiao Mo said: "Of course I'm still a member of the Xiao family, unless Yu Niang voluntarily leaves my Xiao family and goes back with you, then my nephew can't force it, so I have to ask Yu Niang herself!"

After Xiao Mo finished speaking, everyone focused their eyes on Yuniang.

"Me?" Yu Niang was a little surprised. In ancient times, the status of a woman was very low. As mentioned above, at home, you have to listen to your parents, when you get married, you have to listen to your husband, and when your husband dies, you have to listen to your son. If you don't have a son, you have to listen to Fu's family. When will you be able to make decisions?

Of course, if Yuniang was born in the royal family, with a body of golden branches and jade leaves, then it would be a different matter!
