Chapter 75 Do I Have No Mother?
Master Xiao fell to his knees with a thud. He said weakly, "Dad, I really just wrote this for fun. I didn't intend to give it to Mrs. Fan."
"Don't admit your mistake!" Old Master Xiao couldn't smash the cup, so he picked up a snail from the table and threw it at Second Master Xiao: "You think you can write a divorce letter for fun? I'm old, not blind!"
"When you wanted to take a concubine, I didn't agree, but you insisted on taking one. Now, you have become so powerful that you even dare to think about divorcing me!" Old Master Xiao was gasping for breath in anger. What he hated most in his life was the secret affairs of the rear house, so he set a rule for the Xiao family that the Xiao family was not allowed to take concubines!
Back then, in order to marry Shang Lan, Mr. Xiao II caused chaos in the Xiao family and was almost kicked out of the house by Mr. Xiao.
"Dad, Fan is so short-sighted. She wants to marry Yurong to her nephew from her mother's family. How can I do that? Also, how much benefit has Fan taken from the Fan family over the years? That's fine, but who can stand Fan crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself at every turn?"
Mr. Xiao felt very aggrieved whenever he mentioned Mrs. Fan.
"Dad, the thing has already happened. There is no point in blaming my second brother. Why don't we take another look at Yue'er's letter?" Xiao Fu winked at Master Xiao Er.
Master Xiao bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Dad, I, I was just thinking about it. Who knew that she would find it?"
"roll."
Old Master Xiao got a headache just looking at him. Looking at Xiao Jiaen, who was pale with fear, he said, "Jiaen, you are the eldest son of the second house. The second house will still be handed over to you in the future."
"Grandfather, I, I don't have a mother anymore?" Xiao Jiaen's eyes were red. His mother took the divorce letter and left. Does that mean he doesn't have a mother anymore?
If it were in the past, Xiao Jiaen would definitely sit on the ground and cry, but during the exile, Xiao Jiaen grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Old Master Xiao looked at the youngest, Xiao Jiaen, and his serious words were also soft: "You still have a father, a sister, and a grandfather!"
Mr. Xiao was standing in the corner holding the new clothes. He couldn't be left out when it came to dividing the money!
Unfortunately, Master Xiao waited and waited, until the time came for everyone to leave, but he still didn't get any money. He said, "Dad, I, I want to drink some wine." He hadn't drunk wine for a long time. He ate those weird things every day. He wanted to eat meat and drink some wine.
"A toast, would you like one?" Old Master Xiao glanced at him, and Second Master Xiao shrank his neck, turned around and ran away.
"What a shame." Old Master Xiao was so angry when he saw him like this. After reading the letter announcing his safety, he gave it to Xiao Fu and said, "They are all fine in Hongdu, but Xiao Song's wife is not so good."
"It's okay. Yue'er can handle this little thing." Xiao Fu was both proud and distressed when he mentioned his daughter. He read the letter over and over again. "This girl didn't even tell me where the money came from!"
The Xiao family’s property was confiscated and everything was gone. Where did Xiao Jiuyue get the money?
"It must have been earned by my sister." Xiao Jialing was the last one to get the letter. He read it again and again. Xiao Fu had already discussed with Old Man Xiao. The clothes were divided, and the remaining medicinal herbs were directly put away.
Tonight, I'll buy some meat and have a glass of wine to celebrate.
"Huh." Xiao Jialing quickly realized something was wrong and said, "Yu'er used a code word: roast, dry, and grind sea intestines into powder?"
"Isn't that a code word?" Xiao Jialing thought he had misread it and repeated, "What is sea intestine?"
"I know. The villagers say that there are a lot of sea cucumbers on the beach in March and April every year. Fried rice with sea cucumbers is delicious." Mr. Xiao San, who had been silent all the time, spoke up.
"Yue'er has never been to the beach, how would she know?" Xiao Fu looked puzzled.
"Dad, have you forgotten? She likes to read miscellaneous books the most. You can't tell where she read it from." Xiao Jialing is two years older than Xiao Jiuyue, and the two have a close relationship.
"Then let's wait until March or April next year and go check to see if there are any sea cucumbers." Xiao Fu made the decision immediately.
That night, Mr. Xiao, Xiao Fu and his son Xiao Jialing, Mr. Xiao Er and his son Xiao Jiaen, and Mr. Xiao San, a total of six people, ate meat that they had not eaten for a long time and drank wine. After coming to Lingnan for such a long time, this was the happiest day!
Xiao Jialing went to find Coach Meng and learned that he would return to Hongdu Prefecture and Lancang County after the New Year. Xiao Jialing immediately discussed with the Xiao family and asked them to send some food from Lingnan over.
Dried oysters, dried scallops, dried shrimps and other seafood that Hongdu couldn't eat were packed up and sent to Coach Meng.
Coach Meng looked at him and said, "You haven't figured it out yet? You're not going back?"
"Since I'm here, I have to make a name for myself. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my Xiao family?" Xiao Jialing said with a silly look, "Please, Master Meng, bring this to my sister so she can have a taste she's never had before!"
Coach Meng looked at him as if he were a fool and said, "Okay."
You have to go back anyway, and if you can bring something back, you will still be charged the escort fee!
When Xiao Jialing left Coach Meng's place, thinking about the ten taels of silver he had just paid for the escort fee, he felt so heartbroken as if his flesh was being cut!
After walking a few steps, Xiao Jialing shook his head again. What was once the cost of a meal, now, is...
Xiao Jialing had just returned home when he ran into a man who walked up to him and asked, "Brother, do you know where Xiao Ling lives?"
"Are you looking for Xiao Ling?" Xiao Jialing looked at him, dressed in rags. He felt a sense of wariness and asked, "Are you a relative of the Xiao family?"
"No, no, I'm just here to look for someone." Chu Ang shook his head. He finally found the village, but the road the villager just pointed out was too remote. Chu Ang was afraid that he had made a mistake!
"Looking for someone?" Xiao Ling led Chu Ang directly to the Xiao family. If he did anything wrong, he would be suppressed.
Chu Ang looked at the dilapidated house, unsure if he had found the wrong place, and confirmed again and again: "Mr. Xiao Ling, do you really live here?" This doesn't fit with the fairy who gives away money at all!
Why are the relatives of the Fairy of Giving Away Money so poor?
Chu Ang muttered in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
"Yes." Xiao Jialing talked to Chu Ang all the way. Chu Ang was cautious. Apart from saying that he was looking for someone, he didn't say anything extra. When he wanted to ask questions, Chu Ang could always change the subject.
"Xiao Ling, is Xiao Ling here?" Chu Ang shouted at the top of his voice. Regardless of whether it was there or not, the address was correct, and it stood to reason that he had not found the wrong place.
Xiao Jiaen was carrying firewood in the yard. Hearing Chu Ang's shout, he glanced at his eldest brother next to him. Wasn't that Xiao Ling?
"You, what do you want to talk to Xiao Ling about?" Xiao Jiaen did not reveal his identity.
"Are you Xiao Ling?" Chu Ang asked Xiao Jiaen, who was not even as tall as his chest.
Xiao Jiaen shook his head and said, "I am his younger brother."
"Great, where is Xiao Ling? Take me to find him quickly." When Chu Ang heard this, it was like hearing the sound of nature.
Xiao Jialing looked up at the person next to Chu Ang, his eyes seemed to be asking: Can you speak?
"Well, I am Xiao Ling." Xiao Jialing was sure that Chu Ang had no ill intentions.
Chu Ang turned around and looked at Xiao Jialing for a long time without saying anything.
