Episode 087 Stealing Xiao's Private House Money

After Anxiu sent He Youbao home, he went to the clan's ancestral hall. It's better not to let He Youbao, He Shusheng and others see this kind of thing.He Youbao is soft-hearted, and may feel sorry for Xiao Shi.

Xiao's face was ashen, he was guarded by He Youwang and He Youfu, kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, with disheveled hair like a ghost.Spectators are not allowed to enter the clan's ancestral hall -- the most sacred place for the clan -- without permission.

Anxiu straightened her clothes before going in.The patriarch was chanting, telling about Xiao's crimes, and finally took out the notebook hanging under the ancestral tablet, crossed out Xiao's name with pen and ink, and placed it in front of Xiao.He Youwang squeezed Xiao's hand and pressed his fingerprints.

At that moment, An Xiu only let out a slight breath.Thanks to Xiao Shi for having a fake pregnancy, otherwise I would really have to let my father-in-law reconcile with her and give her money and land. Now she has nothing to do with Hejiazhuang at all.

It is said that the evil done by the sky is still forgiven, but the evil done by oneself cannot be lived.

"Okay, He Youwang, He Youfu, together with me, escort Xiao Shi back to her house, order her to return all the property in the family to Anxiu, and drive her out!"

When passing by, the crowd kept saying that girl Xiu finally got her head off.Anxiu just smiled and didn't speak.

When they arrived at He Youbao's courtyard, Xiao's face was still ashen, Wan Chun hurried out without knowing what happened.Seeing Wan Chun, Mrs. Xiao burst into tears, and the two mothers hugged each other and cried.

Some of the spectators were close neighbors of the Erbo's house, they followed from the west end of the Erbo's house, and rarely wandered around the east end of Zhuangzi on weekdays, and this was the first time they saw Wan Chun.Many people gasped and patted their chests after a long time: "It turns out that Wan Chun looks like a ghost!"

Wan Chun is only ten years old, but he has freckles all over his face and is as fat as a cube.People in this era, different from Western aesthetics, don’t think freckles are a sign of cuteness; they also don’t think obesity is another name for plumpness, unlike people in the Tang Dynasty; in their eyes, Wan Chun is just a fat and ugly chick son!

"Mr. Xiao, call out all the family's money, land deeds, and house deeds. Otherwise, you will violate the rules of your ancestors, and you will be taken back to the ancestral hall and beaten to death." The patriarch saw that Xiao was just crying and did not cooperate with his work at all. It doesn't look good.

Xiao turned around and went home, took out the house deed, land deed, land deed, and silver to the patriarch, turned around bitterly, packed up the baggage, and left.

The patriarch checked the house deed, land deed, and field deed one by one, and then took out the book to check whether the number was correct.He Youwang and He Youfu brothers were helping each other.

Anxiu watched Xiaoshi tidy up coldly. Seeing her packing up a small box, she quickly pressed it down and looked at her with a sneer: "Xiaoshi, what's in your box?"

Xiao opened Anxiu's hand in a snap, and roared: "This is something my mother brought over. It's a jewelry given by my old mother-in-law's family. Look, is this something your family can afford?" Opening the box, there are a pair of jade bracelets, two hairpins, and four or five pairs of earrings, including gold, silver, carved and jade.

Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, Anxiu quickly closed her arms and snatched it into her arms, and said sharply: "Mr. Xiao, you were my father's daughter-in-law. According to women's morality, you cannot have private money. I will leave this to my father."

Mrs. Xiao was stunned, and after a long while rushed over to fight Anxiu desperately: "You bastard, you drove me away and even robbed me of my private money. This is what I brought here and it's not from your He family. Give it back to me!"

He Youfu and He Youwang rushed over to hold her down, making her unable to struggle, the patriarch also stood up and looked at Anxiu's hands.Anxiu was sensible, and obediently handed it over to the patriarch: "Patriarch, can you tell me if I made a mistake? According to women's morality, she really cannot have private money."

In rural farms, the concepts of women's morality and seven outs are not very clear, and the folk customs are more simple, and no one has heard of them. The patriarch cleared his throat: "It is true. Without the permission of the man, the daughter-in-law cannot hide private money. You can't take this Xiao family away, so leave it to Anxiu."

Xiao's voice became hoarse from crying.

An Xiu weighed the things in her hand, thinking that she would definitely not wear such tacky jewelry, but she could use it as a favor.He Shusheng's grandmother's family has two aunts, and they gave Anxiu a lot of crops last time, so they can take them with them when they go to their grandmother's house next time.

Xiao Shi cried for a long time and was about to die.

Anxiu showed the jewelry box to the patriarch, and helped Xiao family pack things by herself.Wan Chun angrily stood aside, seeing them bullying his mother like this, taking advantage of He Youfu and He Youwang not paying attention, he threw himself on Anxiu and waved his short, fat hands at her: "I told you to rob me!" Bitch, bitch, son of a bitch!"

Anxiu was angry, turned around, pinched Wan Chun's collar, pushed her against the wall, and slapped her across the face: "I'm calling you to curse, I'm telling you to be rude!"

After about a dozen slaps, Wan Chun felt that his ears were filled with buzzing sounds, he didn't even know how to cry, and was fainted by An Xiu's slap!
"Remember, this world is evil!" Anxiu whispered to Wanchun, and then directed at her face.After a long while, after twenty or thirty beatings, the corners of Wan Chun's mouth were bleeding, and An Xiu broke two teeth.

No one came to pull Ahn Soo, no one said she shouldn't.Compared with what Xiao Shi did to their family in the past four years, An Xiu's slaps on Wan Chun are really nothing.

Xiao Shi crawled over and hugged Wan Chun, who was beaten to death by An Xiu, and stared at An Xiu fiercely, the anger in his eyes seemed to tear An Xiu into pieces.

Anxiu calmly rubbed her sore palms, and began to pack Xiao Shi's things, packed a few thin summer clothes for the two of them, and tied the bundle tightly.

The second uncle took a look, and felt that Anxiu was a bit cruel. It was going to be winter soon, and he didn't even give them an autumn or winter coat.The two women are afraid that they won't be able to make a living for a while, and they won't be able to freeze to death in winter?After walking over, the second uncle pressed An Xiu's hand and said in a low voice, "Girl Xiu, give them a winter coat and a quilt, they are really freezing to death, and we feel uneasy."

Anxiu lowered her head and didn't speak or move. After a while, she asked in a low voice: "Second Uncle, my father has been at a loss for the past four years, and he still works like a cow. Has she ever considered whether my father will die of exhaustion? Yu Shusheng and Yu'er are always hungry, and her daughter is so fat, has she ever thought about whether we will starve to death?"

The second uncle had nothing to say and let go of his hand.Seeing Xiao Shi's current appearance, very pitiful, he felt pity for her, but he didn't think how fierce she used to be.

Without personal experience, it is always impossible to understand how deep An Xiu's hatred is.The second uncle understood An Xiu's mood and didn't say anything more.The patriarch is a notary, so he can't say anything with personal feelings. As long as Anxiu didn't violate the clan rules, he couldn't stop him, and watched Anxiu's packing quietly.

After packing two summer clothes for Mrs. Xiao and her daughter, Anxiu tied up the bundles and threw them at Mrs. Xiao's feet: "You can go."

Xiao was crying and wanted to rush forward again, He Youwang and He Youfu had no choice but to escort her personally, the patriarch asked the two younger generations who watched the excitement to carry Wanchun and throw them out together.

Xiao's cries faded away, and the patriarch finished recording and handed everything over to Anxiu: "Xiu girl, thirteen acres of fertile land, seven acres of dry land, three tile-roofed houses, 32 taels of silver, 790 three coppers, you It's all taken away."

Anxiu nodded and quickly thanked the patriarch.

The patriarch rarely smiled at her: "Xiu girl, you have been diligent and capable since you were young, and everyone in the village knows that now you are in charge of your own family and live a good life. Tell me if you have any difficulties, and the clan will help you. After all, Shusheng is old. Small."

The corners of Anxiu's eyes were moist: "Thank you, Patriarch."

The patriarch said nothing, turned and left.The aunts, maids, and sisters-in-law who were watching the excitement all rushed in, surrounded Anxiu, chattering, "Xiu girl, congratulations, your life will be more comfortable in the future!"

Anxiu just smiled: "Thank you, auntie and sister-in-law!" Then she said, "I don't want Xiao's and Wanchun's clothes, it's bad luck to see them. If auntie and sister-in-law don't dislike them, I can take them back to make shoe soles and shoe uppers." .Winter clothes can also be made into cotton shoes.”

Everyone says you keep it.

Anxiu didn't say anything else, she turned into Xiao's room, took out her and Wan Chun's clothes, piled them up in the yard, and let the women in the village choose them, while she went home and closed the door to check carefully whether she was It's not that private money is hidden in any corner.

Finally, there is a small hole at the bottom of the bed, which is blocked by a wooden board, and there are twelve silver ingots in it.

After searching for a long time, Anxiu was a little tired, so she wanted to go home first, and think about what to do with the house and the furniture tomorrow.

The clothes thrown out had already been snatched up, and the spectators dispersed. Anxiu put the house deed, field deed, land plot and cash in another box, held it in her hand, and returned to her home.

After returning home, Anxiu omitted the plots of stealing things, beating people, and refusing to give Xiao Shi rich clothes, and briefly explained the process of driving Xiao Shi away: "She is also very happy, she gave everything on her own initiative, and she may feel that she owes us something." Yes."
He Shusheng snorted coldly: "She is happy? She is afraid that the patriarch will kill her! She will not feel that she owes us until she dies!"

It was He Shusheng who understood the Xiao family.He Youbao disagreed: "Shu Sheng, you can't say things like this. No one is always bad, and they will always get better." He himself is kind-hearted, so he believes that people's hearts are good, even if he is as vicious as Xiao Shi, why not? Youbao firmly believed that she finally found out her conscience.

Anxiu hurriedly agreed, saying that her father was right.He Shusheng did not speak.

After saying this, An Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "From now on, we will have a good life."

He Youbao, He Shusheng, and He Yuer all laughed, happier than during the Chinese New Year, with a comfortable smile on their faces.

He Yu'er pulled An Xiu's sleeve and said with a smile, "Sister Xiu, let's make cakes tonight!"

Anxiu's heart skipped a beat, she came to this world, she has never made cakes yet, although the taste is not very good, but the atmosphere exudes a strong sense of joy.People in this world like to make cakes to celebrate when they encounter happy events, and distribute them to relatives, friends and neighbors, so that everyone can feel happy.

"It's so annoying to make cakes. How can you do it without an afternoon?" He Youbao also laughed. He understood He Yuer's heart, but making cakes is really difficult. First, you need hard firewood, and the straw can't be steamed; Borrow cages, borrow carved moulds; even if you borrow them all, you still need to have a lot of effort to make rice noodles, that is, to soften the rice noodles into balls. This requires strength and skill, and it is easy to knead thin if you are not careful.

It's still mid-afternoon, if you start doing it now, you should be able to do it well in Xushi.It was about nine o'clock in the evening at the end of Xu time, not too late.

"Father, the busy farming season is over, and the second uncle's family has no congratulations, why don't we join forces with the second uncle's family to make cakes?" Anxiu also thought, "Let's produce rice noodles, and use the firewood and stove from the second uncle's family to make cakes together. Father, we need to spread our blessings."

"Cheng Lie, you will be the head of the house from now on, and Dad will listen to you!" He Youbao's voice was full of joy, as if he hadn't been this happy for a long time, and his brows that had been locked all year round were relaxed.Only then did Anxiu feel that her father-in-law, with his good-looking features, must have been considered a handsome young man when he was young.

Anxiu did what she said, and when she rushed to the second uncle's house, only the second aunt and He Juan were cleaning the courtyard.The second uncle and He Jiangsheng sent Xiao Fang back to her mother's house, and they walked for a long time.Today was quite chaotic, those spectators actually broke off the small pear tree that Second Aunt had planted in the corner, and Second Aunt was distressed and scolded whoever was scheming.

Anxiu took a look, this pear tree was bought when it was in spring, it is less than one meter high now, and it was broken by someone.Fortunately, the skin was still intact, Anxiu smiled: "Second Aunt, this one won't die, break it back and tie it with a white cloth, and it will come back to life in ten days."

I can connect it with my own ability, but I can't let others know, so I have to tie it with a white cloth to cover people's eyes and ears.

The second aunt sighed, and was about to uproot her: "Don't comfort your second aunt. It's all broken, how can you survive?"

Anxiu hurriedly pressed her hand: "Oh, Second Aunt, I promise! Besides, it won't take up your space if you put it here, so you can wait ten days to see it!"

Li couldn't help it, so she had to find a white cloth for her.After Anxiu tied it carefully, she closed it with her supernatural power. In order not to be suspected by Li Shi, Anxiu made a scar on the joint, which was not complete.

He Juan was sweeping the yard. The corner of her mouth was cut and she dared not speak. Whenever she spoke, the scabs would break open, and the blood flowed profusely.The table was all dirty, Li Shi and He Juan cleaned it up little by little, and when it was almost finished, Li Shi asked Anxiu: "You didn't come here just to clean the yard for your second aunt, did you?"

"Of course not!" Anxiu laughed hurriedly, "Second Aunt, I want to make rice cakes. It is a great happy event for our family to get rid of Mrs. Xiao this time. Shusheng and I want to celebrate and make some rice cakes. Distribute it to relatives and neighbors, and it will be lively!"

"Good thing!" Li Shi also laughed, "What are you going to do?"

"Second aunt help me do it!" Anxiu said without guilt, "I don't know how to apply powder, knead powder, make molds, or..."

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing: "I'm not doing this for you, I'm clearly doing it for you! Well, if you want to eat, I'll make your second aunt tired."

"Second aunt, just help me!" Anxiu shook Li's arm vigorously, but did not let go.

Mrs. Li had no choice but to be dizzy from being shaken by her, so she could only say: "Okay, okay! You can come to pick up the cake tomorrow afternoon, and I will make a hundred for you..."

"No, Second Aunt!" Seeing that Li Shi had misunderstood what she meant, Anxiu quickly explained, "The rice noodles are mine..."

"Okay!" Mrs. Li despised Anxiu, "Isn't your rice also from my family? Your second aunt is in good health now and can move after tiredness, so you can enjoy leisure. When your second aunt can't move anymore, ask If you want something delicious, if you refuse to give it, I will smash your head with a walking stick!"

Anxiu covered her head and hurriedly promised to give it, definitely give it!

Both Li Shi and He Juan were amused by her naivety.

Anxiu asked again, when can I start doing it, and help myself.Mrs. Li thought for a while: "Tomorrow, we have to grind the rice first. I can't move the mill. Your second uncle and your elder brother Jiang may not come back until dark. When they come back to rest, we will grind the rice overnight. You Come and help tomorrow morning."

"Second Aunt, can an ox pull a mill?" Anxiu asked.In my own impression, all the grinders are mules.

Mrs. Li's mind flashed, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "Yeah, I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me, your family now has two cows. Of course the cows can pull the mill, and mine is a big mill. Generally, you, brother Jiang and uncle two People pull, it is best to have cattle!"

He Youbao used to be an ox cart, but now it is owned by Anxiu.

"Well, I'll go home and take the cows. Let's grind them now. We'll make them when they're finished. We'll have cake tonight." An Xiu smiled and got up and hurried back.

Seeing her high spirits, Mrs. Li couldn't bear to let her down, so she and He Juan pulled out the stone mill that had been left in the kitchen for a long time, and it was covered with a layer of dust.Li Shi and He Juan worked together to remove the grinding disc and grinding base, wipe it with a clean coarse cloth dampened with water, and then wipe off the water with a soft cloth. .

As soon as it was done, Anxiu led the ox, brought two bags of rice, and brought He Youbao, He Shusheng, and He Yuer along.

"His second aunt, Miss Xiu said that the wind is the rain, so it's too much trouble for you!" He Youbao smiled politely.Anxiu bothered the second uncle's family like this, he felt uneasy, he insisted on asking Anxiu to buy some snacks, and he went to have a look with him.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li feigned displeasure: "Fourth uncle, I don't like to hear that. What is trouble? Girl Xiu has been raised in our house since she was a child. Isn't she just my own daughter? I treat her like a beautiful woman Look at it, how can a mother think that her daughter is troublesome!"

Anxiu's heart warmed slightly, and she also chimed in: "That's right, I said Second Aunt is not an outsider, it's nothing, my father insisted that I buy some dim sum!" After finishing speaking, she untied the dim sum hanging from the cow and showed Second Aunt.

Li's face fell, and she was really angry: "Youbao, if you are like this, I will not represent you in the future! Others think I am trying to trick you!"

"Second Aunt, I know what you don't want!" Anxiu hurriedly said with a smile, "I brought this snack for the children. I will pick Feng'er back later and let her share it with Yu'er, so as not to waste the money." bothering us, isn't it?"

Mrs. Li poked her on the forehead: "You can turn corners when you talk! Cheng Lie, unload the things, let's start grinding, it will be late in a while."

He Youbao rushed over to help, and the four of them worked together to get the rice bag off the cow.After the mill was built and the ox was harnessed, He Youbao drove the ox, Li Shi followed behind and sprinkled rice into the mill, Anxiu and He Juan put the ground rice noodles in another basin.

The sound of drinking cows, laughing and grinding in a yard is harmonious and peaceful.Anxiu smiled unconsciously.
