Chapter 62 Tears
When Xia Yougui heard this, he became furious:
"What? Is this true? Erlang, this little bastard, has grown wings. He just became a small official, but he has forgotten his roots!"
Old Master Xia was so angry that his hands were shaking. He raised his pipe and hit Xia Yougui on the forehead with a "bang":
"Can you please act like a father? Can you blame Erlang for this?
It had just been a short time since the family split up, right?
When the family property was divided, your mother gave each of your families ten taels of silver!
Even if you two don't know how to live, and you spend some money, and buy wine and meat every now and then, how much money can you spend?
If you really don't want Erlang to go to serve, can you spare me this tael of silver as a substitute for his military service?"
Xia Yougui looked aggrieved:
"Dad, why are you still fighting? I'm already this old, and you don't even bother to give me some face!
Erlang is such an ignorant kid! I was just confused for a moment...
Besides, you and my mother must have some money, and didn't you say you would help Erlang? You and my mother were willing to give up your grandson, but you just watched helplessly...
Ouch! Ouch! Dad, why did you hit me again? Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!
Dad, please hit me gently!"
Old Man Xia hit Xia Yougui on the forehead with his pipe several times in a row, and Xia Yougui couldn't finish his words because of the beating.
But Xia Yougui was a man without tact. He had to make it clear that he was feeling very aggrieved and pour out all the bitterness in his heart:
"Besides, even if I didn't pay Erlang, he shouldn't blame me! I'm his father!"
This time, Old Master Xia was really irritated by Xia Yougui.
He put his pipe on his back, took off one of his shoes, and started to smoke the sole of his shoe aimlessly in Xia Yougui's face:
"You unfilial son, you only think about the coffins of me and your mother all day long!
You are his father? I am still your father!
I will beat you to death today, you bastard!"
When Old Master Xia was chasing his useless second son Xia Yougui in the field and beating him, causing Xia Yougui to scream and run away, Jiang hesitated for a long time, but finally pushed open Zhou's door:
"Mom, I have something to tell you..."
After much thought, Jiang decided that it was not appropriate to hide the matter concerning Jin Yong from the old couple.
However, this was the first time she went against Xia Youtian's wishes, so she felt very uneasy:
"Mom, Youtian was very angry about this matter and didn't let me mention it to Yujiao. He felt that Jin Yong had offended Yujiao.
I know Yujiao is a good child.
I don't know where Jin Yong saw our Yujiao, and when he fell in love with our Yujiao...
Jin Yong is quite famous in our Beiguan Town.
He was always arrogant and not easy to get along with. He relied on the fact that he was the cousin of Mr. Feng and the cousin of Mr. Jin to cause trouble.
It's obvious that his personality and the way he does things are not the same as our family.
It can be seen that this man is not a good match for Yujiao.
But this person just happened to fall in love with our Yujiao.
How should this matter be resolved? You and my father-in-law must come up with a plan.
If we keep silent about this and hope to get away with it, but she is determined to marry us, what will we do then?"
Zhou looked at Jiang with a complicated expression: "You are right."
Jiang shuddered. She was still not sure whether it was right for her to come to Zhou herself.
She was just timid and felt that Jin Yong was someone she couldn't afford to mess with.
Not only can he not afford to offend him, but the Xia family can't afford to offend him either.
If this matter is really delayed in Xia Youtian's hands, and Jin Yong gets angry and finds Xia Youtian to take revenge on him, what should we do?
The Xia family had more than one son, but for Jiang, she only had Xia Youtian as her husband, and her children only had Xia Youtian as their father.
Zhou knew the personalities of her daughters-in-law very well.
How could she not see Jiang's little thoughts?
However, even if she saw it, she couldn't point out Jiang's little thoughts openly, let alone say that Jiang did anything wrong.
Because of this matter, Xia Youtian's way of handling it was indeed a bit problematic.
Xia Youtian could choose not to reveal this to Xia Yujiao, but he shouldn't have kept it secret from the old couple.
Regardless of whether this marriage can be successful in the future, as parents, they cannot just remain in the dark.
Zhou was vaguely worried.
Jin Yong's tone seemed to indicate that he had known Yu Jiao for a long time, and even had a secret relationship with her. However, it seemed that Jin Yong had just lost his wife not long ago?
If there had been an affair between them, then wouldn't Yu Jiao be...
No! Impossible!
My own child knows it myself!
Even if we don't consider her character, Yujiao is not the kind of hopeless and unreliable child!
What's more, Yujiao's character is not bad either.
There are so many people in the family. Obviously, she and her father dote on her, and her brothers also protect her very much. However, I have never seen her pick on any of her sisters-in-law, nor have I seen her fight or be upset with any of her nephews and nieces.
Yujiao has never been too lazy to do any housework that can be done.
According to her own experience, Zhou always felt that the children of the peasant family were the best because they were down-to-earth and hardworking. If they were not greedy, did not fight, did not rob, and did not stir up trouble, they would be the best children!
Not to mention that Yujiao had been engaged to Xie Jiabao for a long time, even before this marriage, it was impossible for her to have an affair with anyone!
What's more, Yujiao is a child who likes to stay in the house all day long.
Even the times when I go to the village alone are rare.
Even if she really wants to, she doesn't have the conditions!
I guess it was Jin Yong who, at some unknown time and place, saw Yu Jiao's appearance and had this idea in his mind!
It would be difficult to reject someone like Jin Yong without offending him!
Zhou opened the door of Xia Yujiao's room with a heavy heart, wanting to ask her daughter if she had seen Jin Yong. However, as soon as she entered the room, Zhou was shocked.
My daughter was actually standing on a stool, holding the noose hanging on the beam with both hands, and stretching her neck to get into the noose on the beam!
Zhou was so frightened that her heart was in her throat. Her throat was faster than her brain, and she shouted directly: "Yujiao!"
Xia Yujiao was frightened by the shout. With a "thump", the stool flipped over and the person fell down.
Zhou rushed over and supported Xia Yujiao: "Yujiao, you silly child! What is so bad about it that you are so upset? Are you trying to kill me?"
"mother……"
Xia Yujiao fell so hard that half of her body was in pain and she couldn't struggle up for a while. Seeing Zhou's anxious and distressed look, she couldn't help but call out "mother" and burst into tears.
