There are not many such capable women in the city. The Zhu family has already brought her to their home but they still haven't kept her. They even pushed her out on their own initiative.
When Father Zhu thought of this, his heart palpitated so much that he even found it difficult to breathe.
He thought he was made angry by the Xu family.
"What else do you have to say?"
If not, he's going to beat someone up.
The couple saw that Zhu's father was very angry and wanted to appease him, but they couldn't find the right words. The key was that Master Xu had not paid back the 200,000 taels of silver he owed outside!
"What, my dear, you can't rely entirely on me for this matter." Mr. Xu said while peeking outside the yard.
At times like this, only my daughter can help.
I just don’t know if anyone has told my daughter what happened here. Zhu’s mansion is really too big. He shouted at the top of his voice, but his voice could not be heard in the backyard.
After being married for many years, Mrs. Xu could tell what the master meant at a glance. She smiled bitterly in her heart: "In-laws, the general's wife cannot protect herself, and no one can help." It is a fool's dream to want the general's wife to come forward.
Zhu's father waved his hand: "Come here, give me a hard beating."
Mr. Xu has already been beaten up by the person who wished Mr. Xu, and his whole body is covered with wounds and blood, as well as internal injuries. If he is beaten again, maybe his life will be handed down. Besides, even if he does not have to die, he
He really didn't want to be beaten again. He immediately said in a panic: "I am the child's grandfather. If your people were not gentle enough and beat me to death, how would you explain this to the child when he grows up?"
thing?"
Father Zhu became even more angry.
He looked down on the Xu family, but since he could no longer have a son, he could only count on the child in Xu Caidi's belly... If not, he would have driven away his daughter-in-law too.
Mr. Xu is trying to save himself: "I was really wrong about what happened this time. I acted impulsively because I was forced to have no other choice. Let's do this. You can build a small Buddhist hall in your house. From now on, I will cultivate my moral character in it and provide good care for my children."
Pray for blessings.”
Hearing this, Father Zhu could see his thoughts at a glance: "Are you afraid that you will be beaten to death by debt collectors after you go out?"
Mr. Xu: "..." Yes!
If he is not beaten to death by them, he will be taken back to the Yamen and beheaded.
At this moment, he really regretted that he had gone to make money. Or earlier, he should not have gone to gamble.
Father Zhu was very unwilling to let them go. Even though he knew that life would not be good for them after they left, he still couldn't swallow this breath. Just as he was thinking about how to relieve his anger, out of the corner of his eye he saw a group of people coming to the archway, walking in front.
The slender woman wearing a bright red dress is Xu Caidi.
"Dad?" Xu Caidi stepped forward quickly: "Mom, you are really here. Why is it like this..."
Both of them were in a very embarrassed state, especially Mr. Xu, who had injuries all over his body and footprints on his clothes.
Seeing his daughter, Mr. Xu shouted in his heart that there is no end to the road, and hurriedly said: "Caidie, please save me. Your father-in-law wants to beat me and your mother to death."
Father Zhu: "..."
He had a gloomy face: "Who gave you the letter?"
Xu Caidi took a step back in fright. It was the spy she hired with money. When she knew that her father owed a debt of two hundred thousand taels and had to ask the Zhu family for help, she called attention to the movement in the front yard.
She doesn't want her parents to come to her house to collect debts. It's really embarrassing. Her mother-in-law doesn't like her in the first place. If she comes here a few times, how can she still have a foothold in this house?
"I...I was taking a walk. I heard that my husband was back and was still injured. I was worried, so I rushed over."
She glanced at her parents on the ground: "Father, can you spare them once?"
Zhu's father said solemnly: "They gave Kang Yu the Juezi soup."
Xu Caidi covered her mouth in shock, and immediately understood the reason why her parents did this. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect her belly: "Can it be solved?"
Father Zhu didn't look at her at all: "Come here, take the young lady back to rest. From today on, the young lady is not allowed to go out without my instructions."
"No!" Mrs. Xu knew that her daughter was the only one who could save them. If they let her leave just like that, even if they could save their lives, they would definitely be beaten severely. The key is that there is no more money in the family.
If you don't see a doctor for a serious injury, you will easily be taken away by the King of Hell.
"Caidie, please save us." Mrs. Xu was too anxious and rushed over.
Her original intention was to push away the two women beside her daughter, and then hold her daughter tightly. As a result, because she rushed too hastily, her foot tripped on an uneven bluestone slab, and she lost control.
He fell forward and hit Xu Caidi's stomach.
Xu Caidi couldn't bear the strength. Even with the support of her mother-in-law, she still couldn't control herself and fell backward. Because there were people around her, she couldn't fall to the ground, but she stretched her waist.
For a moment, her face turned pale, she reached out to cover her stomach, and then her face was full of pain: "My stomach hurts."
The voice was shrill and shrill.
Seeing this, Father Zhu turned his head to look at the steward.
The steward understood instantly and quickly left to ask for a doctor.
At the same time, Zhu's mother was also woken up, and at a glance she saw her daughter-in-law's face full of pain and the blush that was gradually spreading under her daughter-in-law's bright red skirt.
The mother-in-law thought she had made a mistake, so she picked up a handful of the hem of her skirt. Blood dripped from the hem of her skirt and soon pooled into a pool.
The two women serving Xu Caidi were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud and began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Mrs. Xu was dumbfounded. She stretched out her hand to touch the blood on the ground. When she touched it, her hands were sticky. She screamed and hugged her daughter: "Cadie, Cadie, please be patient. This child can save our family's lives."
, absolutely nothing can happen to you. Just try your best!"
How else can Xu Caidi achieve success?
There were cramps in her abdomen, much more painful than every previous pain, and she couldn't stand on her own.
Mother Zhu's mind was filled with thoughts that something was going to happen to her son's only child, and she screamed: "Get away from me quickly and get the young lady to lie down on the bed. Where is the doctor? Where did the doctor die? Why hasn't he come here yet?
?”
After a while of trembling, Xu Caidi lay down on the bed. The doctor came very quickly. Seeing so much blood, he stepped forward to check the pulse with a cautious face. After a while, he took a few steps back and shook his head at the Zhu family and his wife.
"It's too late, the child is gone."
Zhu's mother was dumbfounded and sat blankly on the chair. After a long while, she slapped herself hard, making a "snap" sound, which made everyone tremble in fright.
Father Zhu frowned: "Doctor, is there really nothing we can do?"
The doctor shook his head: "The young lady is still young. She has recovered her health and will be able to conceive again in a few months."
But the man is no longer good, how can she conceive alone?
The doctor retreated, and the servants were waiting outside the door. The room was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xu Caidi looked at the curtain stupidly, as if her soul had already flown away.
Mr. Xu knew that he could no longer speak at this time, so he carefully moved his body towards the wall. Since the room was too quiet, the slightest movement attracted everyone to look over.
"What kind of evil did I do in my last life to meet the disaster of your family? You are a bunch of unlucky people, they are all liars... liars..." Mother Zhu broke down and shouted: "Someone, give me a hard beating."
.If you beat him to death, it’s mine.”
The last sentence is an angry remark.
Father Zhu rubbed his brows and said to the bewildered servants: "Drag these two people to the side courtyard. No one is allowed to see them without my instructions. By the way, don't give them food."
He was afraid that if his subordinates beat someone to death, he would have to pay for it with his life. If he couldn't beat him, he would starve them twice.
Xu Caidi did not say a word.
The child is gone and no one cares about her anymore.
After struggling for so long, it was already noon. Father Zhu had not eaten two meals in a row, but he was not hungry at all. He walked out of the yard in a daze, not feeling sleepy, so he got on the carriage and planned to go to the shop to have a look.
While falling asleep on the carriage, he suddenly remembered Zhou Anyu's twins.
His own son was no longer able to be born. If he wanted his eldest grandson, he could only take back the child born to Zhou Anyu.
But Zhou Anyu is no longer the docile and docile little girl who had no support from her mother-in-law. Now she owns more than ten shops, a hilltop, and two large workshops. She has hundreds of workers under her, and she also works with many
Wealthy businessmen all have friendships. If she doesn't want to, the Zhu family can't force her.
If you can't do it forcefully, then do it slowly, which will always soften her heart.
So he immediately sent the carriage to Moon Street.
It's a pity that Zhou An's beauty is not here, saying that she went to the shop with her two children.
Hearing the concierge's words, Zhu's father couldn't help but frown. Taking such a young child out to see the wind would easily make him sick.
If these two children died in infancy, he would really have no legitimate grandchildren. He didn't waste a moment and rushed to the shop immediately.
After walking around several shops, it was almost dusk, and not even Zhou Anyu's shadow could be seen. Reluctantly, he simply sent the carriage back to Moon Street, preparing to wait at the door until someone arrived.
When he arrived, he found that there was already a familiar carriage there, which belonged to his family.
"lady?"
Zhu Mu had freshly groomed herself, but her eyes were so red and swollen that she could tell she had cried.
Chu Yunli went to the countryside with her two children. When she came back and saw the carriage at the door, she opened the curtain and saw the Zhu family couple, and handed the child in her arms to the wet nurse.
She jumped off the carriage, which started moving again, and went directly through the door.
The eyes of the Zhu family's couple followed the carriage. The moment the curtain fell, both of them saw the fat and white child. As for the other one, he only saw the swaddling clothes.
The child was raised so well. He was only one month old, and his eyes were clearly black and white and whirling.
Such a smart kid will definitely be no different when he grows up.
Mother Zhu withdrew her gaze and looked at the young woman with an upright posture and a smile on her face: "Anyu, how is the child?"
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhu, for your concern. The child is doing well. I went outside today and even laughed out loud." Chu Yunli turned her head and looked at the two of them, pretending to be confused: "Are you two okay?"
Father Zhu stepped forward: "I have something I want to discuss with you. Let's find a place to sit down and talk!"
Chu Yunli narrowed her eyes: "Don't you want to take advantage of the child?"
Hit the nail on the head.
The couple were not uncomfortable. Mother Zhu was eager to take back the children... If the two children could not be taken back, the son would be extinct. Even if the son became the head of the family, he would only be making wedding clothes for others. Thinking of the family property, the
When it fell into the hands of that bastard, she became anxious and angry, unable to eat or sleep.
She only regretted that she had spoken too harshly, but now that she wanted to ask someone to go back, it might not be that easy.
