Chapter 329 Trust and Betrayal (Part 2)
Xia Daohua got on the carriage that came with Si Xi and went to Wang's farm in the south of the city.
The old couple watched her go out the door with eager eyes, and Zhou suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her nose. Old Master Xia helped her back to the house, and his steps were also a little unsteady.
Considering the age of the people in Da Chu, the two old men are actually still in good health.
But they have been through so much in the past two years, especially the pain of losing their son, which is something not everyone can bear.
As their lives settled down and the happy event was approaching, the old couple seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
Not only does he like to find a backbone and discuss things with others in everything, but he also often feels a little uneasy when his younger generations and grandchildren are not around.
Halfway through the journey in the carriage, Xia Daohua suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart. The fleeting, seemingly fragile and affectionate look that Zhou had given her when she was sent out just now appeared in front of her eyes.
The original plan to take advantage of Wang's invitation to play outside for a few more days before going home also changed.
Most people in this time and space don't have a peaceful life. They often have to go through floods and droughts, border turmoil, corrupt officials, gentry and village bullies. When they get sick or injured, most of them can't afford to see a doctor. Although some of them have managed to scrape together some money, they still can't find a doctor with excellent medical skills...
In short, it is a dire situation.
Ever since Xia Daohua came, the Xia family has no shortage of money and supplies.
But they still experienced many catastrophic events.
It's not easy to be alive.
Xia Daohua thought that the old couple were already at this age, and recently they had uncontrollably shown signs of aging, so it would be better for her to spend more time with them.
After a few thoughts, Wang's farm had already arrived.
According to the message brought by Si Xi, someone from Wang's parents' family came. Wang was very excited and wanted to introduce herself to them so that they could cooperate in future business.
Moreover, all the debts accumulated previously can be settled all at once this time.
Xia Daohua is not a social cow, but she is not socially phobic either. Although she does not like socializing very much, she is actually not afraid of dealing with clients.
She had heard a lot about the Wang family through various channels. Logically, there should be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
However, if the Wang family continued to buy grain from her, in large quantities and frequently as before, then what they were trying to do would probably be more than just to protect their own territory.
"The emperor is the one who has the strongest army and the most powerful horses."
Who dares to say whether the Wang family is planning this?
Moreover, the capital has not been peaceful recently. The emperor has made many stupid decisions. Even close confidants like Eunuch Wei have been suspected. Whether it is the ministers or the inner guards, they have been alienated by the emperor...
How could it be possible for an old-established family like the Wang family, which has great wealth, strength, and thick skin, not to have the idea of "replacing others"?
Considering that the previous cooperation was quite pleasant, Xia Daohua did not think about it otherwise.
When they arrived at the farm, Wang didn't greet them at the door. Si Xi apologized and walked inside with Xia Daohua with a smile on his face. Xia Daohua also smiled slightly, admiring the scenery of Wang's farm while following Si Xi's footsteps slowly.
She noticed the change in Wang and Si Xi's attitudes.
I don't know whether Wang wanted to show off her status as a lady from a noble family in front of her family, or whether Sixi was just acting on her own. There was some difference in their attitude towards me.
It seems to be less respectful and more careless.
Xia Daohua didn't say anything.
She doesn't really care about being respectful or not.
Instead, she was more concerned about another question - did Wang or the Wang family see that the matter had been settled and a lot of debts had accumulated, so they didn't intend to settle the accounts with her seriously?
