Chapter 7 What Kind of Good Person Are You?
The third wife, Fang, jumped up and said, "Mother, it's unreasonable for you to do this. We have already donated our carriage, and now you want to hand over the food that my parents gave us?"
"Do as your mother said. We must collect them and we must work together to get through this difficult time." Xie Jinrong was already awake. His legs were hurting badly, but his mind was still clear and he gave the order immediately.
Xie Lingyu was furious: "Why? This was given to our family by someone else, why should it be distributed uniformly?"
The old lady scolded angrily: "Jiang, is this the good son you have educated? At such a young age, he disobeys his elders. Where are the rules? Is he fed to the dogs?"
Jiang Shuang immediately blamed Xie Lingyu: "How can you talk to your grandmother?"
Xie Lingyu was so angry that she was about to explode again. Xie Yanyan looked at the old lady and said calmly, "No one can take even a penny from me."
"You are unfaithful and unfilial, worse than animals." The old lady shouted, "Come here, tell me the family rules...ah~"
"Gah~"
"Gah~"
On the bare branches, next to the huge magpie's nest, the blue magpie was suddenly startled and flew away.
A few drops of watery shit fell from mid-air, landing right on the old lady's head, flowing down her hair to her face, successfully covering her mouth.
The Xie family was stunned.
The old lady's head and face were dripping with liquid, and the stench was terrible.
Xie Jinrong cursed: "Get out, get out, it stinks."
The old lady was confused, and everyone thought it was dirty, so Xiao Shen had no choice but to take her to the ditch to wash her hair and face.
Song Lingling was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that her intestines were cramping. She was also very surprised. Although the magpie was quite large, how could it hide so many papers?
There was no expression on Xie Yanyan's face. The old lady's mouth was too smelly and she had to be treated.
It’s a pity that it wasn’t a real stinky answer, but one she made by mixing ochre + gamboge and some durian water.
Seeing that Xie Jinrong and the old lady were still manipulating them in the manner of the head of the family, she had to feel out Xie Anfeng's attitude. She had a space full of food, and didn't want to feed this pack of wolves.
"Father probably doesn't know yet? In order to pay off my great uncle's gambling debts, my grandparents sold me all over the capital!"
He told Xie Anfeng what had happened in the mansion during this period.
Xie Anfeng's face cracked inch by inch, and anger surged.
Jiang Shuang immediately defended herself, "Husband, don't listen to her nonsense. Mother is also doing this for the entire Xie family. We all prosper together and suffer together..."
"Snap"
Before she could finish her words, Xie Anfeng slapped her hard in the face.
"Husband, you..." Jiang Shuang staggered after being hit, half of her face suddenly became red and swollen. She covered her face and looked at Xie Anfeng in disbelief.
Although Xie Anfeng did not treat her with respect and was even a little cold to her, he never touched her.
"Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. Jiang, I have worked hard outside these years, and I have given all my salary to you. Although it is not much, it is more than enough to support you and our children."
"Everyone says you are a good person. What kind of good person are you? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How dare you exchange your children's lifelong happiness for your good reputation?"
"Prince Zhou gave me the letter, and before I had the chance to settle accounts with you, something happened at home. Do you think I knew nothing?"
"You are not a kind mother, and you are not a virtuous wife. Jiang, let me ask you, do you still remember how Bing'er died?"
Xie Ning and Xie Yong also have a daughter named Xie Bingbing.
In the winter when she was 10 years old, Xie Bingbing and Xie Yun fell into the lake together. Xie Bingbing had a high fever and convulsions that day, and Xie Yun kept complaining of stomachache.
Jiang Shuang abandoned her daughter and took care of Xie Yun, who was pretending to be sick, for three days without taking off her clothes. The young Xie Yong cried and begged her to go home, but Xie Bingbing's body was already stiff...
Jiang Shuang argued weakly: "Yun'er is the future marquis, nothing can happen to him."
"Ha!" Xie Anfeng dragged Xie Yun over and said fiercely, "Say what you said before again."
Xie Yun was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Second Uncle, I was young and ignorant at that time, and I accidentally knocked my cousin into the lake..."
Xie Anfeng threw Xie Yun out, and with red eyes, he warned Xie Yanyan and Song Lingling, "Put the things where you want them, don't give them to anyone else, our family needs to survive."
"good."
Hearing how her own sister died so tragically, Xie Yanyan snatched the pancake from Jiang Shuang's hand and threw it back into the package.
Jiang Shuang: “You”
Xie Yanyan ignored her and asked Li Rong: "Master Li, I want to change some hot soup, how can I change it?"
"A bowl of hot soup costs 100 coins, and rice porridge costs one ounce of silver."
Very expensive!
But Xie Yanyan was not short of money, so he ordered 7 bowls of rice porridge.
Song Lingling, Xie Ning, Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu all had porridge to drink. The biscuits were too dry, so after drinking a bowl of rice porridge, their whole stomachs felt soothed.
"Bring the hot rice porridge over! The elders haven't eaten yet, why are you eating it yourself?" The old lady washed her hair and face with cold water and was shivering with cold. She wanted to drink porridge.
"Second brother, bring me the porridge immediately." Xie Jinrong ordered.
Xie Jinrong is his biological father. Xie Anfeng had no choice but to give Xie Jinrong a bowl of rice porridge with a gloomy face and feed him.
"Give your mother and your elder brother some rice porridge." Xie Jinrong was feverish but still didn't calm down.
Xie Anfeng said in a deep voice: "They have money, if they want to drink, they can buy it themselves."
"You, I want to impeach you..." Xie Jinrong's words got stuck in his throat. Realizing that things were different now, he continued forcefully, "If you don't pay the money, you must take care of your mother and your eldest brother's three meals a day."
Xie Anfeng ignored him, walked up to Li Rong, and asked, "Master Li, do you have any medicine to heal your wounds?"
"50 taels a bottle." Li Rong took out a bottle from his luggage bag.
In Kyoto, a bottle of medicine cost at most 5 taels of silver.
Xie Anfeng looked at Xie Yanyan, who quickly transferred a bottle from the space, pretended to rummage through the package sent by his colleague, and said, "Here is a bottle."
Xie Anfeng applied medicine to Xie Jinrong, and Xie Yanyan immediately took the medicine bottle back.
Xiao Shen said, "Your uncle hasn't applied the medicine yet."
"Go buy it yourself."
"Don't you have it? Why not give it to your uncle?" Xiao Shen said as a matter of course.
Xie Yanyan resolutely refused to give it: "My father was filial to his grandfather, there is no reason for him to be filial to you."
Xie Jinrong acted like the head of the family and ordered Xie Anfeng to give Xie Anhuai medicine, but Xie Anfeng turned a deaf ear to him.
The old lady had no choice but to take out 50 taels of silver while cursing, and bought a bottle of medicine for Xie Anhuai with great pain.
The people from the second room drank bird's nests and ate roast chicken before leaving, and had porridge in the evening. They managed to get by for the day, so Xie Yanyan did not take out the things from the space.
Some of the escorts slept in the carriage, while others slept on the ground and lit a fire to keep warm.
"There are straw mats on the carriage, one for every five people. Distribute among yourselves." The escort shouted, and everyone rushed to get the straw mats.
The straw felt is woven with straw and can keep out the cold a little.
Although it is March, the nights are still chilly and it is very easy to catch a cold.
Xie Yanyan said to Xie Anfeng, "Father, go tell the bailiff and let us pick up some hay to make a mat."
Xie Anfeng originally had the same idea, so he told Li Rong and Liu Mingjie about it. Li Rong told them not to leave his sight and did not try to stop him.
The convicts were looking for dry grass and leaves nearby and spreading them under their bodies to block out the moisture from the ground. They also spread some under their children.
Xie Yanyan’s space was filled with cotton-padded clothes and quilts, which were too conspicuous and inconvenient to take out and use as a blanket.
It was completely dark, and she went to the space munitions enthusiast store and found three sleeping bags inside.
It is made of leather and the color is very dark, similar to the animal skins used by the Hu people at that time, and it is definitely warm.
I immediately took three of them, removed the outer nylon bags, tied them up with ropes, and carried them so that they would not be conspicuous.
Just tell your family that you found it.
Just when he was about to shout "I found something good", there was suddenly a commotion in the mountain. Dozens of people leaped down from the mountain, their swords flashing coldly in the moonlight.
My dear babies, I hope you will support me. I bow 360 degrees to express my gratitude!
