Chapter 462: Farm

Dou Shiying just felt a headache.

Song Mo looked at his father-in-law and knew that he was not confused, so he smiled and said, "How about I go with you?"

Dou Shiying couldn't ask for more.

After Dou Shiheng found out, he specifically called Song Mo over and said, "You don't have to pay attention to the Wang family. Just say what you need to say. If they keep complaining, just come back and tell me. We elders won't sit idly by." He looked as if he was afraid that he would suffer a loss.

Song Mo felt a little warm in his heart and suggested, "Why don't we let Brother Twelve go with us? Brother Twelve can also kowtow to Madam Seventh, and we won't disturb Madam Seventh on the day of the wedding."

He was worried that the Wang family would use the excuse of having their adopted son pay homage to Wang Yingxue to send Wang Yingxue back to Jing'an Temple Hutong.

Dou Shiheng understood as soon as he heard it.

He also didn't want his son to have such a stepmother under his head.

Dou Shiheng looked at Song Mo with a little more approval and said, "Then let Zhige go with you!"

Song Mo smiled and said "OK", and the next day he went to Liuye Hutong with Dou Shiying and Dou Dechang.

Wang Zhibing had guessed Dou Shiying's purpose and politely welcomed the three of them into the hall.

But when Dou Shiying explained his purpose, his face suddenly turned pale.

The reason why he didn't say a word before was that he had made up his mind to send Wang Yingxue back when Dou Shiying's family took over. He didn't want to alert the Dou family and let them discover his intention. Unexpectedly, his plan failed.

He felt very bitter in his heart, but he couldn't help but said, "How can we miss Yingxue in such a big event as the succession? There is no rush at this moment. You rarely come here, so let's have a good feast here, and I will let Yingxue go back with you in the afternoon."

Song Mo wanted to say something tactful, but Dou Shiying said in a harsh tone, "I asked Zhier to come here to give face to the Wang family. It turns out that the Wang family doesn't want her, but I am the one who is meddling!" After that, he called Song Mo and Dou Dechang, stood up and was about to leave, "Since she is not free, there is no need to wait until the afternoon, we will go back now."

Even when Wang Zhibing was exiled with his father, he had never suffered such humiliation.

His face turned purple, but thinking of his mother's instructions, he had to bite the bullet and keep Dou Shiying.

Dou Shiying dragged Song Mo and Dou Dechang along and walked very fast. Wang Zhishao appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Wang Zhibing, saying with an unpleasant face, "Brother, you can't spoil your sister like this anymore. Father is still being ridiculed by his colleagues because of her. Haven't we done enough for her? Even if she goes back to the Dou family, will the people in the Dou family treat her as a human being? Do you know that Tan'er's marriage is ruined because of her?"

Wang Zhibing remained silent. His mind flashed with his wife's embarrassed face, his sister-in-law's face as she stood on the steps with her hands on her hips and yelled at her sister's yard because her nephew's marriage failed again and again, and his daughter-in-law's embarrassed look as she covered her grandson's ears. He sighed deeply.

Wang Zhishao's heart finally settled down. He put his arm around his brother's shoulders and said, "We can't offend anyone for her anymore. Nan'er and Tan'er still have to live their lives! We should go and see our aunt off. They've given us face, so we should treat them with courtesy."

Wang Zhibing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You are much more stable now!"

In the past, because Wang Yingxue's affairs affected Wang Tan's marriage, Pang Yulou would often make a fuss at home. Wang Zhishao would take the opportunity to cry in front of Wang Xu, making the family in chaos. This time, what he said made some sense.

Wang Zhishao laughed dryly. Thinking that all this was told to him by his wife, he became more and more convinced of her.

After seeing Dou Shiying and the others off, he went to Wang Xu's house.

"Mom!" As usual, his eyes and nose were squeezed together as soon as he opened his mouth. "You have to give us an idea about this matter! Tan'er's marriage is ruined again! Nan'er has his own ability, but Tan'er has to rely on Yue's family for help. You have to be kind to Tan'er! Others of his age would have had their children run away long ago, but he is still single. How can we, as parents, eat and sleep well?"

Wang Zhishao really wanted to say, "You can't kill my son for the sake of your daughter," but when he thought of Pang Yulou's instructions, he swallowed the words.

Wang Xu just shook her head.

She is old. Gao is kind and Pang is cunning. Yingxue can only rely on her eldest son to make a living in the future.

"What do you want?" she had to ask her second son.

Wang Zhipiao's eyes flickered as he said, "I, I want to move out!"

Although it was already expected, Wang Xu still felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She closed her eyes for a while, then opened them and said, "I'll write a letter to your father."

Wang Zhipiao was overjoyed, and his joy could not help but show in the corners of his eyes.

He replied "yes" and left the main room impatiently.

But from the back room came the cursing voice of Pang Yulou: "... You shameless bastard, for a man, you would rather harm your own brothers and nephews from your mother's family, but in the end, your man dumped you like a pair of sluts. If I were you, I would have killed you with a slash of my neck long ago! Your husband just brought his adopted son here, do you know what he said? He was afraid that you would ruin his adopted son's marriage after you returned, so he came here specifically to spread the word, telling you not to spoil the Dou family's happiness when you succeeded him!"

The Wang family's house was not big. In addition, Wang Nan got married and Wang Tan grew up. After Wang Yingxue returned to her parents' home, she thought she would soon return to the Dou family, so she lived in her mother's back room. However, there was no "empty" house to accommodate her, so she had to settle down in the back room.

Over the past two years, Pang Yulou's words have become more and more unpleasant, no different from those of a street woman cursing on the street. As a result, the maids and servants in the Wang family all look down on Wang Yingxue.

Wang Yingxue's temper became more and more violent because the daughter she had worked so hard to carry for ten months abandoned her. She could not stand the provocation from Pang Yulou at all. She opened the door and started to scold Pang Yulou: "Who do you think you are? You were given to our Wang family by your father when our Wang family was in trouble. You don't respect your aunt and don't teach your children. It's because we, the Wang family, are kind that we didn't divorce you..."

Wang Xu, who was in the room, heard this and fainted without even catching her breath.

The main room immediately became a mess.

Wang Zhishao was afraid that his wife would mess up the division of the family property, so he ignored his mother and hurried to the backyard. He pulled Pang Yulou, who was standing on the corridor and cursing, aside and whispered, "What are you doing? Mother has already agreed to let us move out, why are you still making such a fuss? Aren't you afraid that the maids and the old women will laugh at you?"

I just can't stand Wang Yingxue's look of looking down on others.

Pang Yulou said in her heart, but when she looked up, she saw a little maid from Gao Mingzhu's room, peeking in through the back door. She knew that it was either Gao Mingzhu or Gao who had sent someone to see what was going on. She said to the little maid, "Go back and tell my sister-in-law that although we are moving out, Nan'er and Tan'er are still brothers, and I am still Nan's aunt. Nan'er failed the imperial examination this year because of this bitch. She made Nan'er go out with us to study. We can't let her bring harm to everyone in this room, big and small!"

The little maidservant didn't dare to say anything and ran away in fear.

Gao, who received the letter, sighed and said to her daughter-in-law, "If your aunt really moves out, you should go with her to study. The family is in such a mess, it's no wonder that Nan'er failed this exam. Although she is snobbish, snobbery has its advantages - Nan'er is a young scholar, if he passes the imperial examination, it will be good for her and Tan'er. Without your aunt, your aunt still has a lot of pretense."

Gao Mingzhu was stunned.

Her mother-in-law has always been virtuous, but now she actually said such words, which shows that she has reached the end of her patience.

"What about you?" She didn't want to stay in this house either. Apart from anything else, the quarrel between Wang Yingxue and Pang Yulou made people blush and feel uncomfortable, not to mention that she had a young son who was still learning to speak.

"Me?" Gao said helplessly, "Just endure it like this!"

It's better than getting both my son and daughter-in-law involved.

She deeply regretted it at this moment. Why did she stand up for Wang Yingxue in the first place?

Is this retribution?

Gao Mingzhu hesitated and said, "How about letting me and my child serve my husband and go to Gao's house to study? It's quieter there."

She really disliked Pang Yu Lou.

Gao shook her head and said, "Your father-in-law won't agree."

Then we can only settle for the next best thing and move out with Pang Yulou and the others.

But that's better than now.

She nodded gently.

Wang Zhibing, who always defended Wang Yingxue, did not object this time for the first time. Instead, he gently stroked his wife's shoulder and whispered, "You should come with us! Our grandson is young, and Nan'er needs to go to school. We can't do without someone in charge at home! I will stay. We can't leave our mother without someone to serve her."

Gao was surprised.

Wang Zhibing smiled at his wife and said, "I am not without selfish motives."

Gao held her husband's hand tightly.

Wang Xu seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She stared at her eldest son sharply and asked, "Is this your idea or Gao's?"

Wang Zhibing's heart trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "This is my idea!"

Wang Xu's gaze suddenly faded, and she collapsed on the pillow.

This family is about to break up!

Is she going to drive away her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson just for that unfilial daughter?

As the thought flashed through her mind, she heard her son mutter, "I'm doing this for Yingxue's own good. If she continues like this, the Dou family will definitely not care about her. Dou Ming is a child who doesn't know the importance of things, so he can't be relied on either. She will have to live with her nephews and nieces in law in the future. If the children resent her, how will she live in the future?"

Wang Zhibing's words moved Wang Xu.

She spent a long while folding her Buddhist beads, then sighed to her eldest son, "Stop arguing about dividing the family property. I'll make the decision and send Yingxue to the farm in the countryside!"

Wang Zhibing kowtowed heavily to his mother several times.

Wang Yingxue found out and was in a desperate situation in the house.

This time, Wang Xu was determined and asked her trusted maid to force Wang Yingxue to go to the farm.

Gao and Pang teamed up for once, and took this opportunity to release, sell, and replace all the maids and servants in the house. She also secretly sent a capable maid to the farm and told her, "Keep her under surveillance, and don't let her contact with outsiders, so that her crazy words don't get out and cause trouble. If the old man and the old lady investigate, I will take care of it for you."

The old woman left as ordered.

Pang Yulou also secretly sent a maid to "serve" Wang Yingxue. The first part of his words was similar to what Gao said, but the second part was: "How can this person not have all kinds of illnesses and pains? Apart from the old lady, who else remembers her? Just don't torture her to death."

The old woman smiled and took the order and left.
