Excluding several aunts who are married to the village, there are only three brothers in the Xia family.
The brothers are not divided into families. The eldest brother is in charge of the fields in the village, and the second brother is in charge of the food and drink of the people in the house, as well as the servants.
Both of them are smart people, only the third child and his wife are the stupidest.
The third son worked in the fields with the tenants every day, and the third daughter-in-law and daughter did housework with the stove owner. They also used the farm's produce to raise chickens, ducks, and livestock in exchange for money, and their lives were quite ordinary.
If they were kicked out of Xiajiazhuang, he and his wife would not even have a place to stay.
Xia Laosan's face turned pale and his fists clenched loudly.
The eldest brother has four sons, Xia Hong is the eldest son and the most promising person in the Xia family.
Not only did he find this marriage for Sister Xia, but he also asked the second wife's second wife to take them to the grassland. I heard that he would be able to get a large amount of money in a month.
I only have one daughter, and I will have to rely on the nephews from other houses to make ends meet when I grow old.
But Mr. Song is also kind. Although he is seven years older than his daughter, he is considerate to her.
In addition to the betrothal gift handed over to the father-in-law, he also secretly bought clothes, shoes and socks for himself and his wife, and gave him a few taels of silver.
If he had to speak out of conscience, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"Brother, I..."
Before Xia Laosan could explain, Mr. Xia had already slapped him in the face: "This is the disaster you caused. If you want to stay in Xiajiazhuang, let Hongxia make peace with this person!"
Xia Laosan covered his face and was stunned!
Xia Hongxia, who was standing against the wall, screamed: "No, uncle, I won't stay together."
She pushed aside her cousins who were still blocking her, rushed to Song Dekui's side, hugged his numb waist, and shouted regardless: "If you really like me, take my parents away."
, let them take care of themselves until they die, otherwise I will die here!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. In the Wu Dynasty, I had never heard of a son-in-law providing for his father-in-law until he died.
Hongxia is an only daughter, which means she is the only daughter.
The Xia family had already decided that Mr. Xia would have to rely on the other two families for his retirement, so they dared to force him so unscrupulously.
Song Dekui patted Xia Hongxia who was holding him, and said with some surprise and seriousness: "Do you really want your father-in-law and mother-in-law to leave?"
Xia Hongxia nodded and said with tears: "I know my parents-in-law will definitely not agree. As long as I let my eldest brother rent a room in Qingping Town, my parents can work and they can support themselves. When they get old...just find someone
Buried somewhere."
Boss Xia simply couldn't believe his ears. How could this niece, who was silent at home, become so bold just after getting married?
He rushed over angrily, raised his hand towards Xia Hongxia and wanted to hit her: "You are such a bastard, you are such a shameless thing."
Boss Xia's hand was held by Song Dekui.
Song Dekui pushed hard: "Hongxia is my wife. If you want to hit anyone, you can hit her. If you do it again, I will tell the people from Mida New City not to come back!"
Looking at Xia Hongxia who was hiding behind Song Dekui, Mr. Xia's face turned black with anger: "Okay, I can't control your wife, so I'll make peace with you if I say so. Don't even think about withdrawing the one hundred taels of betrothal gift."
"No, brother, I don't allow reconciliation! Hongxia is my daughter!" Xia Laosan finally shouted.
He has been a coward all his life. His daughter's marriage was decided by his nephew. He knows how this marriage came about and what the Xia family will get.
I just thought that my uncle was a nice person, and his daughter would not suffer any loss if he lived like this, and he couldn't get enough of a big house and a second house.
But they have only been married for a few days, and they have to reconcile with their nephew. This simply doesn't give Hongxia a way to survive.
At this time, even a clay figure was stirred up.
Next to her, Hongxia Niang, who was about to faint from anxiety, also regained her breath at this time: "I won't leave my daughter to you to kick stones casually. If you want her and Li, you will kill us both."
"Then get out of here, all of you!"
Boss Xia was furious...
Song Dekui was kicked out, taking his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law with him.
There were no packages, let alone soft bedding, not even rags and rags, just a few naked people.
Fortunately, the carriage that Song Dekui drove over was not swallowed up. He was sneezing while standing next to him.
"Get in the car! Life won't be easy if you stay here!" Song Dekui asked Xia Laosan and his wife to get in the car.
Xia Laosan was in a daze and didn't even know Song Dekui had pushed him.
He still hasn't come to his senses yet, why is he standing on the roadside like this?
Song Dekui had no time to mess with him, so he turned around and urged Xia Hongxia and his mother-in-law Li: "Get in the car quickly, we have to leave right away."
Mrs. Li looked at his forehead and said distressedly: "Uncle Song, your forehead is still bleeding!"
Song Dekui shook his head and threw away a few blood beads: "It's okay, I can still hold on. Hongxia, take your parents away."
The Xia family just went crazy.
Although he was fierce, he was only one person. When the Xia family saw him, they really wanted to take Sanfang away, blocking the road and yelling at him, and they kept scolding him.
The adults knew what they were doing, and when they thought of the group of people on the grassland, they didn't dare to take action, they just yelled and cursed, but a few children were ruthless people.
Especially Xia Hong's ten-year-old son, who used a door pole to attack him from behind. If Xia Hongxia hadn't helped him, his forehead would have been torn apart instead of a gash.
Amid the beatings and scoldings, the third room of the Xia family was in a state of disarray.
Xia Laosan got into the car and left Xiajiazhuang like a wooden man.
An hour later, Song Dekui's carriage did not return to Qingping Town, but appeared on the official road to Ruijin Town.
Mrs. Li had never been out, but Xia Hongxia had only been to Qingping Town, where she was "fallen" into Song Dekui's arms by her cousin. After that, she got married in a sedan chair, but she didn't see the road clearly.
Xia Laosan came back to his senses at this time, looked at the unfamiliar road outside and said in surprise: "Uncle Song, where are you going?"
He has been to Qingping Town before, so he naturally knows the way.
Song Dekui said: "We are going to Ruijin Town. We have to hurry on the way, otherwise we won't be able to stay at the inn tonight."
"Shattered Gold Town?"
Xia Laosan was immediately petrified. Didn't he say that he would rent a house for himself in Qingping Town?
Song Dekui only thought of going to Ruijin Town after catching the car.
The Xia family has lost Xia Hong, and now Xia Laosan is gone. They are still angry and don't feel anything. Wait until tomorrow at the latest, and the Xia family will react.
Without Xia Hongxia and Xia Laosan, how could I, my uncle Song, have any control over her?
Moreover, his son on the grassland has not returned yet.
By then, they will definitely come to the door to make trouble.
In addition, Song Dekui also thought that Xiaoyun's second uncle Song Defu, along with Xiao Gu and Song Xiaobao, had been "missing" for more than a year.
In the past, Song Dekui believed that Song Defu had escaped with the money, but now he was convinced that Xiaoyun would not let him run away like this.
It is precisely because there is no longer Xiaoan and Daping as hostages that Xiaoyun can act freely.
Now, he also wants to hide his ties so that the Xia family will have nowhere to find them.
There was another most important reason that he couldn't say much about, and that was the matter of his son-in-law supporting his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
He doesn't care about providing for his father-in-law and mother-in-law in their old age. Xia Laosan is only forty now, he is strong and can work, and he can't spend much money a month.
If in Qingping Town, it is always an issue that embarrasses both families, and acquaintances will mention it when they meet... It hurts my heart!
There is only Ruijin Town and Mida New City, places that no one knows.
Xiaoyun's business is booming, and he will have less and less time to return to Xiaoshi Village in the future. It doesn't matter if he is a son to the two elders of the Xia family.
He didn't say this explicitly, but he was just living his life when he was there.
