Chapter 48

Xu Wanniang was dumbfounded, "Then...then now, Xiaofu?"

Xu Xiaofu didn't hide anything, and told the story of why he married Duan Duanyue. Xu Wanniang felt that it was as if she was listening to a scripture, which was simply unbelievable.She was also a little worried, if Xiao Fu married into the Xie family like this, would the Xie family treat her well?
Xu Xiaofu knew Xu Wanniang's worries, and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, the general treated me very well, and I am also very grateful to the general. By the way, elder sister, why did you leave the capital in such a hurry? These years, even a letter is not enough. Didn’t send it back, did you encounter any trouble?”

Xu Wanniang smiled bitterly, "Back then your brother-in-law offended the powerful in the capital and fled overnight to a small village in other provinces. I wanted to contact you all these years, but I couldn't read, so I entrusted my husband to send a letter For you, he lost his temper, saying that if that person found out where he lived, he would definitely kill our whole family, so he has not had any contact with people in the capital these years. Two years ago, I heard that the powerful family committed crimes. After the incident, the whole family was ransacked and beheaded. Only then did the Wu family think about going back to the capital. They didn't move back until a few days ago. Mr. Xianggong spent all the family's money on a small job, and now he is working as a jailer in the yamen , the days go by.”

Xu Xiaofu thought for a while, before she traveled here, there was indeed a rich man who was treasonous with a rich man, but in the end, Xie Duanyu led troops to encircle and suppress her.

The two sisters complained to each other for a long time, and finally even Xu Qingfei came back from the private school.When the eldest sister left, Wang was only pregnant with Qingfei, so the eldest sister didn't know that she had a younger brother named Xu Qingfei.The siblings wouldn't be separated, but both of them had red eyes.

At noon, Xu Xiaofu helped Mrs. Wang cook a table of delicious dishes. After everyone finished eating together, Xu Xiaofu returned to Xie's house with lotus flowers.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Wanniang also took Yuan'er and Qianniang back to Wu's house.Her husband Wu Chen has already returned home, and her mother-in-law has prepared a few side dishes, Wu Chen is drinking a little wine, and there is a beautiful concubine Lu Shi by her side.

Wu Chen looked at Xu Wanniang, hurriedly pulled Xu Wanniang to sit down, poured a small glass of white wine for Xu Wanniang, and said with a smile: "Wanniang, come and have a drink with my husband."

Xu Wanniang pursed her lips, and gave Wu Chen a disgusted look.Seeing Wanniang's expression, Wu Chen's face, which had been smiling just now, immediately changed to look fierce. He slapped Wanniang on the face, and said viciously, "What? I can't see me drinking a little wine, right?" ? Do you believe it or not, I beat your mother to death!"

The two children cried out in fright and hid behind Wanniang.Wu Chen went to tease Qianniang behind Wanniang again, "Damn girl, why are you hiding, I'm your father!"

Wan Niang protected the two children behind her, and glared at Wu Chen viciously, "You are enough, don't vent your anger on the two children!"

Wu Chen immediately cursed, picked up the small bench next to her and threw it at Wanniang, Xu Wanniang hurriedly protected the two children under her body, the stool hit her back, she groaned in pain, and was paralyzed on the ground.

The two children lay down on Wanniang's body and cried loudly in fright, and Yuan'er even lay down on the ground and grabbed Wu Chen's trouser legs, "Daddy, daddy, stop beating mother, woohoo, stop beating mother."

Wu Chen was so drunk that he glared at Yuan'er and kicked him away, "Get out of my way, stand here and die!"

Mrs. Wu and her concubine Lu Shi sat down to eat at the side, she just pretended not to see this scene.

Wu Chen kicked Xu Wanniang on the ground again, and went back to the room to rest in a daze.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Xu Wanniang who was on the ground, sighed and said, "Eldest sister, why do you do this? Why don't you go to the government to seek reconciliation? It's better to bring two children back to your mother's house than suffer him here." It's a strong fight. I'm from my mother's family, so he didn't dare to beat me and my son, how cruel he is."

Mrs. Wu continued to eat as if she didn't hear anything.

Xu Wanniang was lying on the ground, feeling very uncomfortable. Her family... her Xiaofu was well married, but she didn't want Xiaofu to help her.It is embarrassing enough for Xiaofu to marry into a wealthy family with such an identity, she will definitely not cause trouble for Xiaofu.

Let's say that Wu Chen went to the yamen the next day, and there was a lot of noise inside. Someone saw Wu Chen and came up to him with a smile, "Oh, this is not our General Xie's relatives. I said Brother Wu, you are all climbing up with General Xie It doesn't matter, why don't you ask your wife and sister to help you find a better job, and why are you still here as a jailer?"

Wu Chen glared at him, "Little Zhuzi, what kind of rumors are you making, what about the Xie family? What about wife and sister, believe it or not, I kicked you to death."

The man laughed and didn't get angry, "Brother Wu, don't you know that? Don't you know that your sister-in-law married General Xie as his wife? That's the official wife, and she will be the mistress of the Xie family in the future. Why, yesterday Didn't your daughter-in-law see her sister when she returned to her mother's house? Maybe the whole capital knows about it."

Wu Chen was a little dazed, his eyes straightened, "You... are you telling the truth?"

The man said: "Of course it's true. Could it be that I'm still lying to you? The whole yamen knows about it. I thought your daughter-in-law would tell you when she returned yesterday."

Wu Chen was in a trance all day, and ran back immediately when the time came. Xu Wanniang was teaching Qianniang how to embroider. When she saw Wu Chen push the door in, she was startled. Er Hu followed behind, "What are you doing, if you dare to beat the two children, I will protect them even if I do my best."

Wu Chen smiled obsequiously, "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I was the one who was wrong in the past. From now on, I will treat you and the two children well. Just forgive me, okay?"

Xu Wanniang's heart sank, did this person know something?
Wu Chen said again: "Daughter-in-law, I used to be blind, but now I know that there is such an amazing relative in our family. We have become relatives with General Xie, and your younger sister is actually married to Mr. Xie." General..."

Xu Wanniang's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about, who did you listen to, it's nothing!"

Wu Chen chuckled, "Daughter-in-law, you still want to hide it from me, but I know it all, daughter-in-law, please discuss it with your sister and see if you can let General Xie move around and help me to have some leisure time. Don't worry, I will definitely treat your two children well in the future, and I won't be messed up again, and I won't beat you."

Xu Wanniang looked at him and sneered twice, "Wu Chen, you are really wishful thinking, don't forget how you have treated our three mothers all these years, and now you want my sister to ask General Xie to help you find an official position? You are too embarrassed, Why are you, your face is so big!"

Wu Chen's face turned red when Xu Wanniang said, "You bastard, what are you talking about, if I'm well, it's just the three of you, please think about it carefully, and quickly beg your sister to let her help, if it doesn't work, I will retire immediately I'm leaving you, you and you two children, get out of here!"

Xu Wanniang glared at him bitterly, Wu Chen snorted and flung his sleeves away.

Seeing the man's decisive back, Xu Wanniang couldn't help but her eyes turned red. She didn't know what evil she had done, that she would suffer such a man in her life.

Xu Xiaofu didn't know what happened at Eldest Sister's house, even if she did know, she couldn't help Eldest Sister, this matter had to be figured out by Eldest Sister, whether such a man was worth it or not.

These few days Xu Xiaofu had nothing to do at home, helping the baby in his stomach to make some small clothes.She calculated that when she was born, it was already the end of summer, and she sewed two light cotton clothes, trousers, and shoes.

They are all pure white cotton clothes, which are the most comfortable to wear next to the body.In the end, there was still a lot of fabric left, Xu Xiaofu asked Camellia Dujuan, the general's size, and sewed a set of close-fitting clothes for General Xie.

Half a month later, the weather was not so cold, and the snow had almost melted. Xu Xiaofu was busy putting away the clothes he made for Xie Duanyu, when the servant came to report that there was a woman named Wan Niang The woman came to look for her.Xu Xiaofu hastily asked someone to invite the elder sister in.

Seeing Xu Wanniang, Xu Xiaofu was startled, and pulled Wanniang into the room, "Sister, what's going on with that... on your face?"

Xu Wanniang rubbed her face and smiled bitterly, "Xiaofu, Eldest Sister came to you because she had no other choice, Eldest Sister... Eldest Sister, please do me a favor."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Sister, tell me."

Wanniang smiled wryly, "The man in my family is a wolf-hearted thing. He has beaten or scolded our three mothers all these years. When I came back this time and found out that you were married to General Xie, I thought about it and asked me to ask you for help. I hope to find him It's a good job, I don't want it, he beat me and the two children, and he hit me harder and harder...Xiaofu, I can't do anything, can you help me...I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that I can reconcile with him and get back the original dowry, which was all used by that wolf-hearted thing..."

Xu Xiaofu helped with this job, if she told Xie Duanyu to help find a good job for that person, she would definitely not agree.

There is no need for her to come forward, just let the camellia and Dujuan go to the yamen. In just three days, the matter between Xu Wanniang and Wu Chen was resolved, and the two reconciled. Xu Wanniang took her back to her natal home.

Wan Niang, who brought the child back to her natal family, was also a little embarrassed, she said red-eyed, "Mum, I'm sorry, my daughter is not filial, she is so old and has made you and dad worry about it, don't worry, I won't stay for long, Wait...when I find a house, I will move out immediately with my two children."

The Wu family has returned her dowry. Although it is not much, it is worth several taels of silver.Wanniang plans to rent a house and is looking for some work every day, so she can barely support her two children.

But Xu Xiaofu suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, mother, I have an idea, let's sell the recipe of dried meat to Zuixianju, this recipe should be able to sell for a lot of money, I don't want to open a restaurant, how about it? "Food recipes are the most on her mind.

She didn't have any money in her hand, the dowry was arranged by Xie's family back then, so she would naturally not move it, and would return it to Bai's family sooner or later.So she hopes to be able to do some business by herself and make some money.

She is the most familiar with food, so naturally she can only start from this convenience, and there are still a series of procedures to be arranged, so it won't be possible to open it so quickly.
