Rich and wishful

Chapter 197

"That's right, even if she is the wife of Duke Zhen, she is still the girl we settled down with. How can she abandon the family when she becomes rich?"

"Yes, even this is the glory of our An family."

"Ahem, Jingyuan daughter-in-law, you have to persuade me, you must not forget the fundamentals of this person."

"If the clan really lets it go."

For a while, several clan elders in Anjia chatted a lot, and some even slapped the table excitedly.When they heard about An Ruyi's husband-in-law's current status, how could they be indifferent in their hearts, and they were still thinking about how they could rely on the past to get some credit.

If she was really separated from the family, then what reason and excuse would I have to seek her out?So there is a lot of opposition.Among them, only An Lao Er and An Lao Si sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what they were thinking.

Mrs. Mo was not annoyed, he just sipped his tea slowly, calmly listening to what the clan elders said, and was happy without refuting.

When they finally said enough to stop, Mo Shi put down the glass, his tone was a little tough and a little sad.

"Ruyi was stolen from home when she was only one or two years old and was thrown away in the wilderness. My husband and I picked her up and raised her. She grew up in our home. She was once protected by our clan. But you And don't forget what happened back then just because our mother and daughter are today. How long did my husband go to the earth? When our mother and daughter were treated like wolf-hearted dogs or people who have received the favor of our ancestors, where is the clan? You guys Where are the clan elders? Who dared to jump out and speak for our mother and daughter back then?"

Looking at the embarrassed faces of those who just spoke, Mo sneered.

"Don't say anything. It's not like we're all right now. You think that our mother and daughter's wealth is so easy to get? We were sold when we were halfway on the boat, and we had a high fever. No way, Ren Yazi was afraid that it would be bad luck for her to die on the boat, so she just threw her in the wilderness and forced us to separate our mother and daughter. Fortunately, Liu Guolu, who was still penniless, rescued her. Later, the two became husband and wife , Not long after the good times, the imperial court recruited soldiers again, and the son-in-law went to the battlefield to fight, but there was no news as soon as he left, and Ruyi almost starved herself to death at home in order to feed her two young children."

Thinking of the past, Mo Shi was still upset.

"Back then, the son-in-law's younger sister and brother-in-law were righteous and spared no effort to help the natal sister-in-law and nephews, so that Ruyi survived. Later, Ruyi took the children all the way to the border to find the son-in-law. Life was so miserable. After a while, I thought about having someone come back to the village to find an heir for my husband and me to offer incense. With such a daughter, who would dare to say that she has forgotten her roots? That she is ungrateful?"

The head of the An clan and the clan elders sneered, but were speechless for a moment.Mo's didn't want to really turn against them, so he slowed down his tone.

"Although she hasn't appeared in front of you for so many years, she is not without repayment to you and our village. If you think about it carefully, are you really unaware of it?"

The patriarch and elders of the An family, as well as An Lao Er and An Lao Si were all shocked when they heard this, as if they remembered something, they looked at Mo Shi in disbelief.Is it really what they think?
"Jing, daughter-in-law of Jingyuan, is it about tax cuts?"

The patriarch of the An family spoke with a trill.Some time ago, a master of the county government suddenly came to announce that, according to the emperor's decree, the tax in Wenyang Village where he lives will be halved for the next 20 years.This kind of good news from heaven made the people in the village ecstatic.

I thought this was the case in all places, but after inquiring, I found out that it was only the case in Wenyang Village where I was.Faced with the envy of other villages, although no one in the village knew why the emperor would suddenly issue such a favor, they couldn't stop the people in their own village from being proud. They all went out these days and told people that they were from Wenyang Village. Everyone feels that there is light on their faces.

"Yes, that's exactly what Ruyi's biological father and mother specifically asked the emperor to thank the villagers of our Wenyang Village. Although it is not completely free, it is already a mighty Long En. Sigh, in fact, if there was no such thing back then, As for the matter, it is unknown whether Ruyi's biological father and biological mother will ask the emperor today."

Mo Shi didn't finish what he said, so everyone present fell silent after listening to it, and everyone fell into association.Yes, if such a thing hadn't happened back then, it's hard to say that today's tax will be completely exempted?Thinking about it this way, the big house of An's family is really the sinner of the whole village.I knew it earlier. Well, why did they allow them to do such a stupid thing back then?Why didn't they stop them?

Everyone's faces showed resentment, annoyance, and regret.It's okay to hang on to things that have nothing to do with you, but once these things violate your own interests, few people can really calm down.

"Have Ruyi found her biological parents? Whose family are they? How can they still speak before the emperor?" The head of the An family also regretted secretly, but soon he asked the point.Ruyi's husband and son-in-law are already so powerful, so could her biological parents be more powerful?

"Actually, why am I willing to remove Ruyi from my husband and my name? This is also cutting my heart. Ruyi's biological parents did not mention this matter. This is entirely my own idea. If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to make it through.”

Mrs. Mo was not in a hurry to answer what the head of the An family said, but his eyes were red and he wiped away tears.

"Do you think that this is the only favor you have received from Ruyi? For more than ten years, people from other villages have been doing small businesses in the town. How many people have not been targeted by ruffians asking for money? There are also ordinary people. You have heard about being bullied and insulted at every turn, right? But has anyone out of our village encountered this kind of thing over the years? Do you all think this is a coincidence? It is from our Wenyang Village People are lucky?"

"That's why Ruyi has been watched by people all the time, and she's given power to those ruffians and bullies, so no one has dared to use her power to bully people in our Wenyang Village all these years."

After everyone listened to it and thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. People in the village used to talk about it because their village had good geomantic omen, but it turned out that they had received favors for many years without knowing it.So they were speechless for a while, and An Lao Er and An Lao Si couldn't help crying.

The patriarch of the An family blushed even more.
